The Five Spirit Mantra is a necessary skill for all Linggu disciples, used to call for help or relay dangerous information at the most critical moment, and is generally only used when life is threatened or something major happens.

Yu Danfan saw the black lotus mark on the back of Lingzhi's neck, thinking that there was a demon illusion invading Linggu, so he took the lead in releasing the Five Spirit Spell in a hurry.

The five colored lights spread out in the air, and they did not dissipate for a long time, and within half a moment, the figures of Fu Yan and Linghu were the first to appear in the maple forest. The two of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they came closer, and Linghu looked at the three people with blank faces and asked, "Danfan, what's going on, why did you release the Five Spirit Spell?"

Yu Danfan didn't know how to explain, once he told the truth, Lingzhi would definitely be punished. After thinking about it again, he avoided the stern gaze of the two uncles: "I...... It was I who was demonstrating to Tuchen how to release the Five Spirit Spell, and I couldn't control it for a while, so I hit it......"

"Danfan, you never lie, the Five Spirit Spell can only be released with three layers of internal force, and it won't lose control at all! Say, what's going on!?" Saying that, Fu Yan walked to the three of them, looked left and right, and suddenly ripped off Tuchen's collar: "What is this!?"

Tuchen was stunned for a moment, completely unaware that there was something strange on the back of his neck, and turned his head to take a look, but there was no choice but to see that there was a blind spot in his vision: "What's wrong?"

Yu Danfan also stepped forward to watch, and found that although there was no black lotus mark on the back of his neck, two lotus leaves were drawn, so he frowned and sighed: "You two ...... I don't know how Tao Weng taught it......

"The two of them?" Linghu also walked over, reaching out to pull the collar of Lingzhi's coat.

Lingzhi hurriedly dodged away: "Uncle Linghu, what are you doing, I still have to go to Old Man Tao, go first, Ha ......" and turned around to run.

The figure of the spirit crane flashed in front of her, and without saying anything, she opened the collar with one hand, and the black lotus seal appeared clearly in front of several people again.

Fu Yan stared at the blue tendons on his forehead and raised slightly, and roared angrily for a moment: "Take the two of them and go to see the valley master!"

Yu Danfan still wanted to stop it, but the Five Spirit Mantra had been issued, and more and more Linggu disciples gathered in Baicaozhai. In order not to make things bigger, I had to sigh and be silent.

After a short time, Tuchen and Lingzhi knelt on the top of the main hall, and Tang Limo and the six elders sat in front of them. Fu Yan and another person who looked like a senior uncle also stood aside and waited. Tao Weng was late with a peach-headed cane, and looked at Tang Limo and saluted slightly: "The old man is too old and his feet are not strong, and he is late to look at the valley master, why is he in such a hurry?" After that, he looked at Lingzhi and Tuchen who were kneeling next to him and said softly: "You girl, what kind of trouble have you caused again, even the valley lord and the six elders have been alarmed!"

Fu Yan sighed beside him: "Look at the back of your precious girl and the back of your Xinna disciple's neck, it's just nonsense!"

Hearing this, Tao Weng opened the back of the necks of the two of them, and looked at the black lotus seal and lotus leaf that were rubbed a little blurred, and then his face turned red, and he stomped the cane in his hand angrily: "How can you be so nonsense!" After that, he also leaned down and bowed: "The two of them are so stubborn, it is Tao Weng who has no way to teach, please punish the valley master heavily, no need to show mercy!"

Tang Limo raised his hand: "Tao Weng please hurry up, everything is punished according to the rules of the valley, Linghua, you are in charge of the Punishment Palace, you will handle it." ”

The man who was called Linghua standing beside Fu Yan bowed and said 'yes', and then looked at Tuchen and Lingzhi and said loudly: "The Black Lotus Seal is a symbol of the identity of the demon clan, and painting on oneself without authorization is very easy for people to misunderstand, and in serious cases, it may even kill the same sect by mistake." Ignoring these consequences is a violation of the precepts, and according to the rules of the valley, the punishment is ten strokes. ”

"Ten thorn punishments!?" Linghu frowned on the side: "Linghua, it's okay to be punished with a cane, isn't it too much to use thorn punishment?"

Linghua took a deep breath, and his face was full of helplessness: "That's what the rules of the valley are, and I have no choice but to let me bend the law for personal gain in front of the valley master......

Hearing the words 'thorn punishment', Lingzhi's playful face also showed a trace of horror, and he kowtowed nervously: "Gu Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, and he will never draw again......

Tao Weng was also a little anxious: "Although it is a big mistake, they are still children after all, and they are the first offenders, please ask the valley lord to be gracious......"

Tang Limo didn't speak, and he was very helpless in his heart: "The original Punishment Hall was founded to supervise the disciples in the valley, and the rewards and punishments are clear, including me, as long as I make a mistake, I will be punished accordingly." Although the torture is a bit harsh, it does make people remember. Tao Weng, you are already a veteran of the valley, and you should understand these things even more. ”

Tao Weng frowned and stopped talking, seeing that his plea was fruitless, two lines of tears hung on Lingzhi's face, and his eyes were full of horror.

The punishment has been decided, Tang Limo nodded slightly: "Take the two of them to the high platform, gather all the disciples in the valley, and execute them immediately!"

"Wait!"

Tuchen shouted loudly and wandered in the main hall, everyone turned their eyes away, and he continued with a firm gaze: "The black lotus seal on Lingzhi's neck was painted by me, she was instigated by me to make such a big mistake, the disciple is willing to bear twenty thorns and receive the punishment on her behalf!"

"Tuchen ......" Lingzhi looked at Tuchen with a firm face, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

The three uncles also showed shocked looks on their faces, and Linghua reminded in a whisper on the side: "This thorny punishment is nine wounds with one whip, and there is a reason for the ten lashes as one punishment in the valley rules. Bear double, don't you want to die!?"

Without waiting for Linghua to finish speaking, Tuchen asked again in a loud voice: "The disciple sincerely accepts the punishment, please ask the valley master to be allowed!"

Tang Limo was silent for a moment and nodded: "Execution!"

On the high platform of Linggu, Tuchen took off his coat and only wore a white shirt and was tied to the torture pillar, and more than 100 disciples in the valley gathered under the stage to point at him.

The clever ghost's eyes were sharp, and he immediately screamed softly: "That...... Isn't that a dendchen?"

Mo Erha also raised his eyes and suddenly widened his eyes: "Tuchen! this is ...... What's going on!?"

After Tuchen was tied, Linghua personally walked up to the high platform with a thorn cane and shouted loudly: "Baicaozhai disciple Tuchen ignores the precepts in the valley and acts recklessly, and at the same time instigates the same door, and the crime is increased by one degree. Now he will be punished for twenty years, and I hope that the other disciples will take it as a warning!"

As mentioned before, the cane was ten feet long, and it was a soft whip with nine sharp barbs embedded in the whip like thorns, which made people shudder just by looking at it!

"One!"

With a sound of counting, Linghua's long whip hit Tuchen's back accurately, and the nine sharp barbs all pierced into the flesh, and then they were quickly torn off, and suddenly nine bright blood spots appeared on the white line......

"Master, you ...... You save Tuchen, he was wronged......" Lingzhi had already cried into tears in the audience, and kept begging.

Tao Weng couldn't bear to watch anymore, and took his eyes off the high platform: "Of course I know that Tuchen is wronged, he is a new disciple who doesn't understand this, you grew up in Linggu since you were a child, how can you still make such a mistake......!" It's hard to hurt this child......"

When Linghua hit the seventh staff, Tu Chen's back had already turned bright red, and he bit his lip, and the pain began to become numb.

Linghu sighed and turned away: "I still think that this punishment is a bit heavy, after all, they didn't cause any trouble. ”

Fu Yan still had a straight face: "I almost let Danfan kill Lingzhi by mistake, this is not a big mistake." With his example, I believe that in the future, other disciples will be familiar with the precepts and abide by the rules of the valley!"

After the ten rods passed, Tu Chen's consciousness began to dim, and the whole person slowly lost consciousness. At the same time as he closed his eyes, the snowflake pendant on his chest suddenly faintly glowed with blue light, and a thin breath slowly poured into the wounds on his back against the skin, and the healing speed of those wounds was suddenly several times faster, and the blood was no longer flowing so violently......

Soon the twenty canes passed, and Ling Yuan's right hand holding the thorn staff trembled a little, and it could be seen that he was also very unbearable.

Lingzhi wiped the tears on his face and rushed to the high platform, holding Tuchen and tears welling up again. Yu Danfan was also full of guilt, if he hadn't been too reckless and took the lead in releasing the Five Spirit Spell, there would have been no such thing as punishment. So he also rushed up to untie the rope and carried the unconscious Tuchen back to Baicaozhai.

After settling down, Tao Weng and Yu Danfan still had to go to the main hall to discuss the newcomer's training, and left in a hurry after preparing a bottle of herbs.

Looking at the dense wound on Tuchen's back like a honeycomb, Lingzhi regretted it in his heart, and gently wiped away the surrounding blood stains and carefully applied the herbs.

On the back of Tuchen's neck, the black lotus seal was revealed again, and there were several lotus leaves below the mark. Lingzhi was afraid of causing trouble again, so he hurriedly wiped it gently with a soaked cotton cloth. A moment later, the lotus leaf was wiped off, but the black lotus mark was still there. With a little effort, Tuchen screamed in pain, and she had to give up for the time being.

The unconscious Tuchen fell into a dream, but this time it was different, although it was also in the maple forest, but the graceful woman no longer danced, but lay in his arms and slept quietly. Tuchen stared at that beautiful face and was reluctant to take his gaze away for a moment......

Suddenly, the woman woke up suddenly, got up and hugged Tuchen tightly, and kept muttering: "Save me...... Help me...... Help me......"

Tuchen was also confused for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to ask a question when he saw a huge black shadow falling in the air, the shadow man had horns on his head, and held a hammer full of spikes and a chain dragging the ground in his hand, walking towards them step by step!

The woman was even more frightened when she saw the black shadow, and quickly broke free from his embrace and fled into the distance, and the shadow also turned a blind eye to Tuchen, and the target who walked past him was the woman who ran into the distance.

Tuchen was stunned for a moment and reacted, got up and grabbed the black shadow: "Who are you!?"

The black shadow paused when he heard the sound, turned around, roared with a hideous face, and then picked up the hammer in his hand and smashed it straight over!

The hammer smashed into Tuchen's back, and thousands of spikes pierced into his body, and he couldn't help but scream in pain......
