Chapter XXXIII: An Unjust Verdict
The person who came was none other than Feng Dewei, the elder in charge of the outer gate, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he looked for Sun Hao with an angry face.
When he saw Sun Hao, the anger in his stomach finally found an outlet, pointed at Sun Hao's nose and began to teach: "Okay, you don't know the importance of Sun Hao, what do you say you don't learn well, but you learn to cheat to death, forget it, you don't die, you come back early, do you know how much loss your disappearance has brought to the sect, do you know how much face your disappearance has caused the sect to lose this time, and how much face the old man has lost!Ah?!"
Sun Hao was still pondering the lie just now, where he would expect Feng Dewei to suddenly kill, and he gave him a beating, and he was a little blindfolded when he scolded him.
He secretly said that he didn't offend Feng Dewei either, why did he scold himself like this as soon as he came up, he couldn't help but be a little angry at this time, and said back: "Elder, where are you talking, is it possible that I am dead to meet your wishes?"
When Feng Dewei heard this, he immediately became even more angry. He reopened the torture hall because of Sun Hao's incident, but he didn't expect that Qin Youlu would intervene halfway and slap the face of the entire sect, and now his reputation among the disciples is low to the limit, and he almost has no face to preside over some conferences.
That's why he was so angry at Sun Hao's appearance, and almost wanted to push Sun Hao off the cliff and let him die again to quench the fire in his heart. But who would have thought that this son would dare to refute himself now, Feng Dewei's head was about to smoke, the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't speak, and he raised his palm to shock Sun Hao to death here.
At this moment, a voice from the head of the house, although amiable, but with a hint of warning sounded behind him: "Thirteen, I called you here to recognize people, not to play with your elder's prestige. I know you're wronged, but look at what kind of place this is, what kind of wilderness you sow, and don't retreat!"
Feng Dewei stopped his hand, shook his sleeves fiercely, and stood next to him, but he still glanced at Sun Hao fiercely in his eyes, and seemed to say, "It's not too late to do this, you will look good in the future"
Sun Hao also rolled his eyes helplessly, he really didn't know how to offend this grumpy elder, so he simply ignored it and talked about it later.
The head of the house was originally a little puzzled by Sun Hao's words and wanted to interrogate again, but Feng Dewei was so troubled that he had no interest in interrogating.
Anyway, Elder Taishang has already gone underground to investigate, and the cause and effect of the matter is up to his old man's judgment, and he doesn't have to worry about that leisure.
He rubbed his brows, looked at the disciple below with a headache, and didn't know what to do for a while.
This son unknowingly stirred up two major incidents in Qizhumen during this time, both of which made Qizhumen restless, but when he really talked about it, he found that he seemed to be the most innocent involved, and it was not good to punish him too harshly in front of so many people.
Thinking about it like this, the head felt that this son was a complete disaster, and he couldn't help but pull a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hey, Disaster Star! The head of the family suddenly remembered another person in his heart, and he thought about it carefully in his heart, and had a plan.
He cleared his throat, and under the gaze of an elder, he spoke: "Sun Hao, a disciple of the outer sect, trespassed into the forbidden land and almost caused a catastrophe, and should have been punished severely, but for the sake of his extenuating circumstances, he will not do in-depth research, and punish him to go to the Northern Spirit Mine with the supply team this time, serve for three years, and will not be allowed to return to the sect without major accidents." ”
When all the elders heard this verdict, they all frowned a little, Sun Hao was just an outer disciple of the third layer of condensation, and sending him to the north like this almost sentenced him to death. But the head of the sect has accumulated deep authority, but no one has anyone to oppose him for an outer disciple, and they all say yes.
Only Feng Dewei's face showed a hint of joy, this disciple who made him lose face should go far away, and it is best never to come back.
Sun Hao's heart also sank, he didn't expect to be sent to the spirit mine where the situation was rumored to be tense as soon as he came back. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he had no reason to refute, so he agreed and did not refute.
This matter is over, and as for the underground affairs, naturally there are other people to worry about, and he doesn't have to pay attention to it.
This night, Sun Hao finally returned to his cave after a few months, looking at the thick dust accumulated in the cave, he actually had a feeling that things were wrong.
He didn't think much about it, and after cleaning up the cave, he began to treat his injuries. According to the notice of the sect, it is the day of departure in three days, and it is better to return to normal as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what will happen on the battlefield.
And this night, Sun Hao is not the only one who can't be peaceful.
In the small building of the Taishang Elder in the back mountain, the head of the family is sitting in front of the Taishang Elder, listening to the teachings of the Taishang Elder.
I only heard Elder Taishang say in a deep voice to the master: "Shaoqing, you don't care about the underground affairs, I have already touched the hiding place of that beast, as long as I wait until the Ice Spring Sword Sacrifice is completed, I will go down and kill that beast." That beast was not lightly injured in order to break the formation this time, and I am seven points sure that I can kill him. ”
The head nodded and said, "Uncle Shi made a move, I am naturally relieved, but I just ask Uncle Shi to be careful to prevent that beast from making any tricks." ”
Elder Taishang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have my own measure, but the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, and it is difficult for you to manage such a big mess." ”
The head smiled and did not speak.
Elder Taishang continued: "The demon king in this underground, you must focus on guarding in the future, this time it is quite dangerous, and it almost moved the foundation of the big array. At the beginning, in order to facilitate the disciples' training in the next formation, the patriarch modified the seal of the large array, so that ordinary disciples could also enter and exit with the token, which gave him a chance. Now it's not as good as it was back then, so you just sealed all the entrances except for the alchemy room. ”
The head nodded yes.
"By the way, how is the cultivation of the third and seventh children, have there been any breakthroughs?" Elder Taishang suddenly asked.
"I'm still stuck in the last step, there is no progress, and there is only one step away from Yudan, but there is no chance to break through. However, the old thirteen broke through to the late stage of foundation building, and I plan to let him also go to the Yuantian Temple to cultivate after a while. ”
Elder Taishang nodded and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, and after half a sound, he raised his head and said, "Go back and let Lao Qi go to Jiufeng Mountain for a trip, and you won't be allowed to come back until you reach Jiedan." ”
"What!" the head of the sect was shocked, "Jiufeng Mountain is the territory of that madman, and there are dragons and snakes in it, so you are not afraid that Lao Qi will not come back!"
Elder Taishang shook his head and said with some melancholy: "I know the temperament of the seventh child, there are too many things in my heart, and it is better to let him go out and practice than to do it behind closed doors, it is much better than engaging in conspiracy at home." At this time, it's no longer a matter of seniority, it's his heart knot that is at work, maybe he can break through this level by going out and seeing more. ”
Seeing that Elder Taishang had already made plans, the head didn't say anything more and nodded in response.
The two talked about some trivial matters of the sect again, and Elder Taishang went to retreat again, and the head of the sect withdrew and looked at the sky, it was already late at night.
He looked up at the vast starry sky, and only let out a long sigh before he half a sound, not knowing what was on his mind.
On the second day, Sun Hao got up early in the morning, looking at the scorching sun in the morning, and was in a good mood. Last night, he used some healing medicine he bought to treat the wounds on his body, and finally there was no major problem, and the duck's beak finally disappeared.
What's even more gratifying is that last night, the golden light once again spit out the yellow breath. The first few times because he was underground, he didn't have time to make good use of it, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, Jinguang surprised himself again, making him forget about the idea of cutting Jinguang with a thousand knives before. He used the Qihuang Qi exhaled by the golden light to ripen the spirit grass in his hand again, and the harvest was remarkable.
It's just that the golden light seems to have fallen into dormancy after exhaling the Qihuang Qi, and the whole body is full of light, as if it is to digest the aura absorbed in the underground this time. There was no movement in the blood droplets, and the golden light wrapped him, without any sense of agility.
Sun Hao's dantian finally regained its calm rarely, and the aura slowly floated in the dantian, which was almost enough to advance.
It's just that he will leave for the battlefield the day after tomorrow, otherwise he can try to impact the fourth layer of condensation in the next few days, Sun Hao thought regretfully.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance and rushed towards Sun Hao. Sun Hao frowned, his cave mansion was remote, and no one had ever passed by here, and the figure that suddenly appeared didn't know what he was doing here.
Soon, the figure ran to a place not far from Sun Hao, and called Sun Hao's name before he arrived, for fear that others would not know that he was looking for Sun Hao.
Sun Hao squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that the person who came was Li Fatzi, who had not seen him a few times since he entered the outer door.
I saw Li Fatzi panting and running in front of Sun Hao, looking at Sun Hao with an excited face and saying, "Sun Hao, you kid, you made such a big move, and finally ran back alive." I haven't served a few people, sir, you are the number one. ”
Sun Hao didn't dislike this person too much, although this Li Fat Man was once hostile to him at the recruitment conference, but in the end, the two of them joined forces to destroy Xiaobai, so he still had a good impression of him.
And after his accident this time, almost no one cared, but he didn't expect that after he escaped back, it was this fat man Li who didn't have a deep friendship who was the first to come to congratulate, which made him suddenly feel a little moved in his heart, and said with a gentle smile: "It's just a fluke, I can come back alive thanks to good luck, but you...... Hey, why did you get to the third layer of condensation?"
Seeing that Sun Hao had finally noticed his cultivation, Li Fatzi smiled triumphantly: "This is thanks to my cousin, he knows an alchemist in the door. That time he took me to find the alchemist, who knew the first time I saw him, he said that I had the potential of an alchemist, and dragged me to be his apprentice, and piled me up to the third layer of condensation with pills all day long. In the future, I will also become a bullish alchemist. ”
Sun Hao couldn't help but look at Li Fatzi with some surprise, he didn't expect him to have such a talent, he really couldn't look good, he could only hug his fists and congratulate.
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Hao finally couldn't help but ask what happened after he left, what turmoil was caused, and why everyone looked at him very strangely.
Li Fatzi told him about the trial of Hu Zhengxiu in the execution hall that day, and Qin Youlu killed him out of thin air.
Knowing the whole thing before and after, Sun Hao understood why Feng Dewei's attitude towards himself was so bad, it turned out that there was such a hidden feeling.
It's just that I didn't expect Hu Zhengxiu to have such a hard backstage, allowing him to escape this catastrophe. However, Sun Hao did not want to give up revenge in his heart, he looked at the sky in the north, and said secretly in his heart: Hu Zhengxiu, you wait for me, one day, I will come to take your life!
