The main hall of Chongyang Palace.

Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong and Sun Buji were all present, with serious faces. A few steps away in front of the five of them, there were three bamboo stretchers, and on the stretchers there were three disciples of the Quanzhen Sect who were suffering in pain.

Qiu Chuji glanced coldly at Zhao Zhijing, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked angrily, "What's going on? Who is so bold as to seriously injure my disciple within the scope of my Quanzhen Sect? How did you act as a master?"

Zhao Zhijing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied with some shock: "Uncle Shi, it is the disciple who is incompetent and cannot protect the safety of my disciple. However, the identity of the person who hurt them was somewhat special, and the disciple did not dare to do anything with that person without the permission of the elders. ”

Qiu Chuji was even more furious when he heard this, slapped his right palm down, and stood up. Hearing only a "click", the armrest of the seat behind him had broken into several pieces and fell to the ground. When he was young, his sex was like fire, and after so many years, the Taoist way of self-cultivation has not wiped out his edge.

Wang Chuyi had some love for his apprentice in the end, and was worried that his senior brother would hurt Zhao Zhijing in anger, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Senior brother, calm your anger, don't lose your honor in front of the disciples below." ”

When Qiu Chuji heard this, he swept his eyes like electricity in the main hall, and saw that all the disciples, including Zhao Zhijing, were kneeling on the ground, and they were so frightened by him that they couldn't help but snort coldly, and sat down again, but they scolded in their hearts: "They are all a bunch of pus-filled cowards!"

Wang Chuyi appeased Qiu Chuji, and then turned to Zhao Zhijing and said: "Zhijing, your uncles and uncles have always valued you, but you are really confused in the handling of this matter! No matter how special your identity is, how can others be worthy of the lives of my disciples? You have put the cart before the horse, which is really disappointing for the teacher!"

Zhao Zhijing kowtowed like pounding garlic, and couldn't stop apologizing: "Yes, what the master taught is that the disciple knows that he is wrong!"

Sun Buer looked a little unbearable, so he said: "You don't have to be busy pleading for sin, just now you said that person's identity is special, I don't know what that person's identity is, and what does it have to do with my Quanzhen Sect?"

Zhao Zhijing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle Yu, the identity of that person is known to all the elders, she is the old woman in the tomb of the living dead. ”

The five sons of Quanzhen all showed surprise when they heard this, and Wang Chuyi asked: "You mean that the person who hurt my disciple is the old servant in the tomb of the living dead?" Zhao Zhijing replied respectfully: "The disciple didn't dare to deceive the master, at that time, Qing Du and the others were fighting with Yang Guo, that old ...... The old woman suddenly rushed out and injured two of my disciples without saying a word......"

Before Zhao Zhijing finished speaking, Qiu Chuji suddenly interjected and asked: "What does this matter have to do with Guo'er? Why did Qing Du have a conflict with him again?" Zhao Zhijing was about to answer, but Liu Chuxuan, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Qiu, it is better to ask about this matter later, these three disciples are not lightly injured, and they need to be treated as soon as possible." ”

Liu was deep in Xuancheng Mansion and rarely spoke on weekdays, but once he made a judgment on a matter, the rest of the junior disciples were very convinced. This time was no exception, after Liu Chuxuan spoke, the rest of the people also stopped asking and began to check the injuries of the three people on the stretcher.

Qiu Chuji has the highest martial arts among the people, and he has more experience in dealing with internal and external injuries than others, and the task of treating the three of them naturally falls on his head.

After checking the three of them for a while, Qiu Chuji said: "All three of them had their ribs broken, but fortunately, the person who started it was merciful and did not hurt their lungs, and the broken bones were brought back to their original positions, and the dressing will be fine for half a year." ”

So Qiu Chuji then took the bones of the three injured disciples, and then applied medicine to the affected area, until everything was dealt with, and then ordered a few disciples to carry the injured three people down.

Only then did Liu Chuxuan say to Zhao Zhijing: "Now you will tell you how these three people were injured, and tell you completely. ”

Zhao Zhijing started from discovering that Yang Guo had entered the dense forest privately, and did not stop until Granny Sun took action to seriously injure the three disciples, and said: "The disciples are worried that they will hurt that old woman and hurt the relationship between our sect and them, so they don't dare to attack with all their might. Although I know that the disciple's thought is benevolent, he almost killed the lives of three disciples, so I ask the master and all the uncles and uncles to punish him heavily!"

This Zhao Zhijing is cunning, and he has slightly changed things. Yu Yang Guo had already agreed to accept the punishment of Islam and did not mention anything about his own initiative to fight, only saying that Yang Guo disobeyed the order, and Lu Qingdu and others had to arrest Yang Guo. The few disciples kneeling in the hall were all his henchmen, and they all had hatred for Yang Guo and Granny Sun at this time, so they would not expose the master's lies and speak for Yang and Sun.

After Liu Chuxuan and the other five people learned the details, they were all a little silent. After another while, Wang Chuyi broke the silence and said, "Senior brothers, junior brothers, I don't know how to deal with this matter?"

Liu Chuxuan stopped him and said, "Senior Brother Wang, it's inconvenient to discuss now. He turned to the disciples in the hall and said, "Zhijing stays first, and the others go down." ”

The disciples below were frightened for a long time, and when they heard this order, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and after giving the salute, they all left the hall quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only six people left in the main hall of Chongyang Palace.

Hao Datong stroked his white beard, shook his head and said, "Behind this matter, the ancestor and the deceased predecessor in the tomb are involved, but there is some trouble. ”

Wang Chu nodded and said, "Yes, not only that, there are only two women in the tomb, old and young, if our Quanzhen Sect comes to the door to seek justice, it will be very inappropriate." If it is spread out by someone who doesn't know, and says that my Quanzhen Sect bullies the weak, won't it ruin the reputation of my Sect?"

Sun Buji frowned and asked, "Could it be that this matter can be ignored?"

Qiu said: "Although the ancestor has a testament and orders us to take more care of them, this does not mean that we have to blindly tolerate them. If you ignore this matter because of the origin of your seniors, how can you explain it to the disciples below?"

The three of them nodded when they heard this, and Wang Chuyi asked again: "Then according to Senior Brother's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Qiu Chuji said: "There is no need to fight and kill with them, only Senior Brother Sun is a woman among our senior brothers, you can let Senior Brother Sun go to theorize, as long as they admit their mistakes and apologize, the matter will be stopped." What do you think of this method?"

Hao Datong praised: "Senior brother's proposal is very good, in this way, it can not violate the last wish of the ancestor, but also does not hurt the harmony between me and the people in the tomb, I think this method is feasible." ”

Wang Chuyi and Sun Buer also said that they had no objections, and Qiu Chuji asked Liu Chuxuan: "Senior brother, what is your opinion? Should we invite Senior Brother to come and then discuss?"

Liu Chuxuan shook his head and said, "Senior Brother is still in retreat, so don't take out these little things to bother him." Since everyone agrees with your proposal, let's deal with the matter as such. Tomorrow, Senior Brother Sun will go to negotiate with them first and see what the result is. ”

Grandma Sun agreed on the matter, and Qiu Chuji said: "Now let's discuss the matter of Guo'er, Guo'er violated the rules of my religion and entered the dense forest without permission, what should we do?"

Hao Datong's lips moved, and he stopped talking a little.

Qiu Chuji glanced at it and said, "Senior Brother Hao, not to enter the forest is a strict order issued by the first teacher, and no one in my Quanzhen Sect is allowed to disobey it, and this matter is not allowed to talk about any personal feelings." If you have any thoughts, you might as well say it, although I have passed on the martial arts for a few months, I will not favor him because of this. ”

Hao Datong nodded and said: "I also think the same way, although Yang Guo is a lay disciple, but since he has entered the door of my Quanzhen Sect, whether it is a reward or a punishment, he should be treated equally with other disciples, and we can directly deal with him in accordance with the regulations." ”

Wang Chu sighed: "Having said that, it's just that in this way, it's not easy to explain to Jing'er." ”

Qiu Chuji waved his hand and said, "Jing'er is well aware of the righteousness, if he knew about this, he would definitely understand it, and he wouldn't blame us." ”

Dealing with Yang Guo's affairs was much easier than Grandma Sun's, and the five of them agreed on punishment measures in a moment, Qiu Chuji turned around and saw Zhao Zhijing standing on the side, and asked him again: "By the way, since you were stopped by the old servant and failed to catch him, where is he now?"

Zhao Zhijing replied: "Uncle Yu, that Yang Guo was taken away by his stepfather, and I don't know where the disciple is now. ”

Qiu Chuji couldn't help but look puzzled, and said in his heart: "Guo'er's parents have passed away, but where did this stepfather come from? Why haven't you heard Jing'er mention it? Could it be that Guo'er himself confessed it indiscriminately?" He was worried that Yang Guo would meet a villain, so he asked again: "Who is Guo'er's father-in-law?" You can make it clearer!"
