Chapter 15: Torture
Sometimes, endless waiting is the most torturous thing in this world, because we don't know what lies ahead, whether it is a thousand dangers, whether it is sunny, or unknown events that slowly spread uncontrollably. In short, all complex emotions will be hidden in the depths of people's hearts, whether it is hope or apprehension, but they must always be faced. Lin Yizhi -- This ten-year-old boy may be in this mood right now.
Lin Yizhi followed Zeng Ruijin into the main hall, Lin Yizhi lowered his head, and looked around the hall from the corner of his eyes. He saw those familiar faces. The Heavenly Yi Daoist, the Heavenly Anger Daoist, the Jing Lijian, the Yixin Daoist, the Illusory Dust Master, the Ning Wan Me, the Qing Xuan Venerable, and their own masters were all sitting there, their chief disciple standing behind them. Lin Yizhi wanted to read something from his master's face, but the face on Lu Wujian's jujube core head was as calm as water, but he couldn't see any joy or anger. He looked at the senior lady Mu Yuqiu who was sitting next to the master, but saw that her face was actually full of indignation, and the always pampered little junior sister Lu Xiyue was running in front of Chu Xiao, the eldest disciple of Wangwu Peak, pulling the ribbon around his waist, lowering her head and playing with it.
Those big disciples stood behind their masters with their heads held high, and it seemed that the eyes of these people were not very friendly, especially Hu Feng, the chill that shot out of those strange eyes was close to Lin Yizhi. Lin Yizhi didn't care, because he knew that this person had been deflated by the second senior brother Bai Limu, and he must have felt very awkward in his heart.
When he looked at the first seat of the Sacrificial Sorrow Peak, he couldn't help but almost be happy, he saw that the thin old man was standing with a serious face, but there was a big elk leg hidden in his sleeve, and from time to time when others were not paying attention, he quickly showed a little, took a bite, clicked his mouth, and then continued to sit down seriously. It's just that his movements did not escape the eyes of Hong Likun, the chief disciple of the nearest Sacrifice Sorrow Peak standing beside him, but Hong Likun's expression was quite embarrassing and funny.
Lin Yizhi looked at Chu Xiao and Su Yuan again, and saw that both of them nodded at him slightly, and there was no worried look in their eyes that Lin Yizhi didn't want to see, so his mood relaxed, and then stood in the middle of the main hall, saluting everyone in a proper manner.
Zeng Ruijin came to the master and whispered in a low voice for a while, Lu Wujian nodded slightly and said, "Limu is back, very good." And he said no more.
The real person glanced at Lin Yizhi a few times, and his kind eyes seemed to look at an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. Qi Nan was secretly thinking to himself in his heart, Lin Yizhi, it depends on you whether you have escaped this interrogation or not. After thinking about it, he sighed and said with a smile: "Yizhi Xiaoyou, how are you doing in Mo Youfeng these two days? Your master has taken good care of you. That tone was not like a sect of masters, and he actually called Lin Yizhi a little friend.
When he asked, Lu Wujian trembled in his heart, secretly thinking that if this unsuccessful kid told him about his slap yesterday, he would be afraid that he would not give up on himself. It's just that Lu Wujian still couldn't understand what kind of medicine this kid had poured into Qi Nan, so that the head of the sect cared so much about him.
Not only Lu Wujian alone, but I am afraid that all the first and chief disciples have such doubts, because they have never seen the head of the sect use the title of Xiaoyou to any disciple.
Lin Yi's heart warmed, and he suddenly felt that this Zhangjiao Zhenren was not as lofty as everyone said, and he was always so amiable to him at that time, and his heart was greatly moved, and he bowed to him, and then glanced at his master Lu Wujian, and then said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, since the disciple came to Mo Youfeng, the master and all the senior brothers have loved the disciple, and the disciple's path of separation from worry has also improved in the past few days." ”
Qi Nan smiled, his eyes looked at Lu Wujian with a somewhat unnatural expression, and said: "This is very good, so let's call you here this time, just to let you practice the Mind Method of Leaving Worries and Infinite Dao that you have learned, let you and your senior brothers take a look, and you can start here." ”
Lin Yizhi didn't understand what this meant, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to throw away all distracting thoughts, sit cross-legged, and use the first method of the Separation Anxiety Infinite Dao to start cultivating.
Everyone held their breath and stared at Lin Yizhi's technique silently, even the playful Lu Xiyue no longer played with Chu Xiao's ribbon, and looked at him with pretty eyes.
Lin Yizhi used the magic trick to communicate the qi of heaven and earth in a short time, and then carefully ingested a part of the qi of heaven and earth into his body, and then released the true qi in his body, and the two were compatible.
The technique is skillful, and it seems that Lin Yizhi has firmly remembered this method of condensing qi. Everyone present was also attracted by his skillful technique, and nodded slightly. Lu Wujian was not surprised, he knew that this stupid apprentice was still doing a good job, but he didn't dare to look back, and he would be timid if he looked back.
Sure enough, Lin Yizhi began to slowly guide the two strands of true qi that merged into one to operate in his body, and after running for a small week, he began to get nervous, because he knew that the most critical step of the air pressure dantian was coming. He looked up at his master. Lu Wujian only said softly: "Don't have distracting thoughts, do your best." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded lightly, already sweating profusely. He used 120,000 points of caution to press the rather abundant true qi towards the dantian. As a result, after this true qi came to the dantian, the true qi that had been condensed together suddenly dispersed most of it in an instant, wandering uncontrollably in his meridians for a while, and then disappeared. And the only remaining bit of true qi in his dantian and the true qi that had been stored several times before were in one place, flowing in the dantian. Lin Yizhi suddenly felt a warmth wandering all over his body, but this time it was slightly different, this warmth was much greater than the previous times, and the true qi left in the dantian seemed to be much more than the previous times.
Lin Yizhi faintly felt that the true qi of the dantian had already gained substance, and a cloud of hanging gas was slowly flowing in the dantian, as if there was a little vitality.
After being ugly for a long time, he smiled and said, "It's okay, you can get up." Then he turned to Lu Wujian and said, "Senior Brother Lu, this time should be better than the previous time in the Trial Hall." ”
Lu Wujian nodded and said, "Indeed, I have also seen him condense qi a few times in the past few days, and the effect this time is obviously better than before." ”
Qi Qian nodded and said: "In this way, you have to cultivate him well, in ten years and fifteen years, the five levels of condensation should be about the same." ”
Lu Wujian smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, others can drive things in three to five years at a fast pace, and ten years at a slow pace, but he is good, it will take ten to fifteen years, and it doesn't take a lot of effort for me to cultivate him. But he didn't say that, but said, "I should do my best." ”
He said again: "You have also seen it, so if you have any questions, just say it." ”
Tian Yi was in a hurry, took a step forward, and said to Lin Yizhi impatiently: "Do you kid know why your dantian will dissolve most of your true qi?"
Lu Wujian snorted when he heard this, and his heart was already unhappy with the boss, and he secretly thought, this stupid apprentice is now also a disciple of Mo Youfeng, and this day he is called you kid, but he doesn't give himself face, so he said coldly: "Tianyi, if you have something to say, why beat around the bush, don't you know that when you were in the Trial Hall, we all knew that his dantian was naturally weird, and you still want to ask like this? I ask you, why is your hair so weird, not black or white, but red? You can explain it!"
This question was quite unkind, and the anger that made the sky angry immediately rushed up, and just about to get angry, Mu Yuqiu hurriedly stopped and said: "Senior brother Tianyi, my family has no inhibitions, and the little sister can't pay here."
Seeing Mu Yuqiu say this, Tian Yan had to hum and stop talking.
Mu Yuqiu hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Your first senior brother, senior brother in charge, I don't think it's a way to ask questions like this, Lin Yizhi just came in, and he was still confused, should I explain it to him first." ”
Nodding his head, Mu Yuqiu turned around and said softly to Lin Yizhi: "Yizhi, you don't have to worry, I'll tell you about it." ”
Immediately, Mu Yuqiu said loudly: "Late last night, your master was in the inner room, and felt two mysterious breaths breaking into Liwu Mountain, and easily broke the ban on Liwu Mountain and came to my Mo Weifeng front yard to snoop, your master did not startle the snake, so he secretly followed, until he followed these two people to the foot of Mo Youfeng Mountain, and was discovered by these two people. The person who came was an old man and a young man, the old one was the head of the four major demon sects, the master of the Poison Sect, the Hundred Poison Ancestor, and the young one was dressed in white, with a bronze mask on his face, your master and the white-clothed young man made a move, wanting to lift his mask to see his true face of Lushan, but as soon as he made a move, he found that the white-clothed young man was already the cultivation of the Jindan Great Perfection, and the Hundred Poisons Ancestor took the white-clothed young man with him when your master and the white-clothed young man made a move. Afterwards, on the way back from your master, I felt that the young man in white could not see his facial features, but his height, age, and demeanor were very similar to you. Due to the fact that their fight caused the shaking of the Liwu Mountain Forbidden Array, all the first and master sect real people gathered in the Liwu Mountain Hall overnight to discuss the matter. Because I think the boy is a little similar to you, I asked you to ask what happened, do you understand?"
Mu Yuqiu's voice was loud, but word by word, it could be seen that she was worried about this ten-year-old boy, for fear that he would not hear anything, and spoke very slowly.
Lin Yizhi was shocked, could it be that they suspected that I was the teenager? How could this be? Even he himself felt funny, and even wanted to laugh, but in fact, he had already laughed.
Lin Yizhi is honest and kind by nature, and he is most afraid of others wronging him, hearing this, in addition to feeling funny in his bones, a wave of anger and stubbornness arises spontaneously, and then he bows to the end, and then his face is correct, and he says word by word: "Could it be that your first master doubts Yizhi? Is it possible that the Dao trick I have performed just now is the realm of Jindan Great Perfection? If you think that my cultivation can fight with my master, then you will take Yizhi's life!"
"Smack-" Master Qingxuan slapped the table and stood up and said, "Okay, you Lin Yizhi, who doesn't know the height of the sky, we just asked you a few words, and we didn't force you to rely on you, what kind of attitude do you have? It seems that we have wronged a good person." ”
Lu Wujian sneered and said, "Senior Brother Qingxuan, although you didn't say that it was him, what good is it for you to act and conclude that it is him? Although this Lin Yizhi entered my sect late, he is still my disciple, not the remnant of the Demon Sect that you want to interrogate." "Lu Wujian is quite protective on weekdays, although he is not very good to this Lin Yizhi, but he still feels uncomfortable when he sees his apprentice being wronged.
Qi Nan waved his hand and said: "You are all stopped, I haven't spoken yet, don't you exist when I am the head of the sect?" As soon as he said this, Qing Xuan and Lu Wujian were both stunned, and they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare, so they retreated aside.
Lin Yi looked ugly and said slowly: "Child, I know that you are pure by nature, and you don't like others to humiliate you the most, but there is a reason for it, do you know, from the moment you entered the mountain, our Mountain Guardian Lingzun Nine Fire Golden Crow cried every day, I sent you Uncle Qingxuan to ask, Lingzun means that it feels the existence of the breath of the Demon Sect, and this breath is the most active in the middle of the night every day, and it even feels the existence of the Seven Heavenly Books, but it doesn't know what happened." Also, our Guardian Ancient Sword Immortal Yin, recently there was a faint flash of invisible red light in the sword body, when I went to the Sword Pavilion to check, I found that the red light seemed to have sensed something by the Hidden Immortal Sword, and there was a slight abnormal evil aura on the light stone sword. ”
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, but this was the first time that even these first and chief disciples had heard it.
Lin Yi was also shocked in his heart, and only then did he understand why the first seats were so upright.
But what does this have to do with himself? Could it be that all this is caused by himself? Suddenly, he thought that he was practicing the Yin Li Sect's Qi cultivation method every night, and he did have a daily scroll of heavenly books, but it was only the first half. If the thing that the Nine Flames Golden Crow sensed was the Book of Heaven, it really couldn't get rid of it. So I was a little nervous, and my expression was no longer so insistent.
It was difficult for him to know the seriousness of the matter, so his expression softened, and he smiled and said: "Yizhi, don't be too nervous, if you have doubts about your character that day, we can't let you enter this sect of renunciation." These first seats just want to understand the situation. ”
Lin Yizhi nodded, and quietly made up his mind, that is, no matter what, the secret of this Heavenly Book and Yin Li Sect could not be said to death.
Lin Yizhi nodded and said: "The kid understands, the first master, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, the kid knows everything." ”
The first Phantom Dust Master of the Illusory Worry Peak stood up, but his expression was relatively peaceful, and he didn't ask like Tian Yan: "Yizhi, let me ask you, have you ever been exposed to the Qi Condensation Methods of other sects before you leave your worries in the future?"
Lin Yi's heart tightened, knowing that they already suspected that he had learned something else, so he nodded hurriedly and said firmly: "No, the kid's home is in Liyang Fengling Village, and his parents are real people, and the kid has never been in contact with any cultivation methods before." ”
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking, the Phantom Master nodded.
Master Qing Xuan asked, "Let me ask you, how did you escape the pursuit of the people of the Refining Valley, why did the people of the Refining Valley kill the people in your village, and besides, apart from the people of the Refining Valley, have you ever seen the people of the Poison Killing Sect?"
The Venerable Master asked three questions in a row, and each of them was heart-wrenching. Lin Yizhidou's big beads of sweat fell, how can I say this? He was only a ten-year-old child, and it was not in his nature to lie. I had to stand there.
Lu Wujian didn't seem to be very satisfied, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, I want to ask, when you were ten years old, did you know who the Demon Sect was? He was only ten years old, how could he tell which people were from the Refining Spirit Valley and which ones were from the Poison Sect? It's really ridiculous. ”
Master Qingxuan's eyes flashed coldly and said, "That's even more suspicious, how could a ten-year-old child be hunted down and killed by the Demon Sect demons in the Refining Valley?
Lu Wujian was stunned, and he couldn't answer.
Chu Xiao saw Shizun's question, and he was aggressive, his heart was in a hurry, and he hurriedly walked out and saluted: "Master, I don't think there is a problem with this Senior Brother Lin, he has a pure nature, his background is pitiful, and he doesn't have any breath of the Demon Sect on his body, how can he be a person from the Demon Sect, I hope the Master will be clear." ”
Master Qing Xuan's eyebrows straightened, and he said hatefully: "You have only seen him a few times before you speak like this, is it a member of the Demon Sect, how can you decide with a word? ”
Chu Xiao wanted to say something, but Master Qingxuan's face was even more ugly, and Chu Xiao had to swallow the words on his lips again.
Seeing this, Zeng Ruijin hurriedly walked out and said: "Uncles, the real person in charge, the little junior brother has been practicing for the past few days or going to the top of Moxian Peak to move the Heavenly Immortal Stone, I have never seen any abnormality in the little junior brother, or what is the ability of the Jindan period, that is, the small carrying of the Heavenly Immortal Stone, he also made himself bruised, which made the master angry, and he ......."
When Lu Wujian heard this, his big disciple was too honest, and he wanted to tell the story of the palm that shook Lin Yizhi, where would his face go. had to cough, Zeng Ruijin swallowed the last words when he heard Shizun like this.
Qi Nan frowned and said, "But when I said that when I saw you, you were pale, because of your injury, are you better now?"
Lin Yizhi was greatly moved, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for teaching you, and you will be fine." ”
Ning Wan and I secretly licked a few mouthfuls of elk legs next to me, as if I was addicted, swallowed my saliva and said: "You are old and confused, let him take off his shirt, let's see if he is injured, if he is Jindan Dajing, he can't have any injuries." ”
Everyone nodded yes, only Lu Wujian couldn't say anything, and everyone was puzzled. In fact, Lu Wujian was not worried about the examination, but he was just afraid of the mark left by the slap he slapped Lin Yizhi on the left chest yesterday.
But no matter what, he couldn't compete with others, so he had to blow his beard and stare at him.
Lin Yizhi took off his shirt, and his upper body was exposed, only to see that his body was indeed scarred, but there was a big purple-black slap mark on his left chest.
Tianyi Dao was sharp-eyed, and immediately noticed the abnormality, pointing to the slap print and saying, "What's going on here?"
Lin Yizhi looked at Lu Wuji, who suddenly felt a little embarrassed and turned his head away from looking at him.
Lin Yizhi secretly thought, although the master slapped him, but it was for his good, and today he was defending him everywhere in this hall, and he didn't want to fight with his life, and he couldn't say that this was the master's beating.
So, he smiled lightly, slowly knelt on the ground and said, "The disciple doesn't know!"
"What? You actually said you didn't know about such an injury?" Jing Linan, who had not spoken all this time, also felt incredible.
The Phantom Dust Master said: "Yizhi, don't be afraid, there is something hidden, there is nothing wrong with you, and you have not colluded with the demon sect demons, and everyone will not punish you, but what is going on with this slap print?"
Lin Yizhi lowered his head even lower, but he gritted his teeth and said with a firm face: "Disciple doesn't know, if you uncles and uncles don't believe it, you can abolish the insignificant true qi on Yizhi's body and drive me out of the Sect of Sorrow!"
Master Qing Xuan walked up to him and said coldly, "You really don't know, believe it or not, I abolished your dantian!" The killing intent in his eyes burst out, making people feel cold.
Lin Yizhi raised his head suddenly, and his stubborn eyes were full of determination: "I really don't know!
Lu Wujian's heart was already like five thunderbolts, he never thought that this stupid apprentice who he had never looked at with his eyes would be so resolute to defend his reputation, and even did not hesitate to use his small body to fight against the Mahayana cultivation of Qingxuan, and his heart was already ashamed and painful for this Lin Yizhi, and he only looked at Lin Yizhi's body.
It was a small, thin body, covered in scars, and it knelt motionless, fighting against the coming storm with its own even ignorant stubbornness. But he seemed to laugh, because she had no regrets, he felt that it was tiring to lie, it was tiring to conceal, if this Qingxuan slapped him, would everything be over, and he would no longer have to suffer groundless accusations, and he would no longer have to be looked down upon and called mediocre.
At this moment, he even missed his father a little, whom he had never met......
In fact, people are afraid of death, but there are some things that cannot be faced more than death, and the result of everything is just a forced period, if so, will it be better.
Silence! Deathly silence, Qing Xuan had already raised his slap high, he knew that the next moment, this kid of unknown origin would definitely die under his palm.
And Lin Yizhi slowly raised his head, looking at this high slap, and the heads of the sect who were all high in the house, and suddenly laughed embarrassedly, what is this? Is it a kind of unyielding to authority, or is it a demonstration? If his ant-like life is exchanged for the dignity of the master, then why be afraid of death?
Qi Nan didn't expect Qing Xuan to suddenly attack, and seeing that it was too late to drink, he had to close his eyes and wait for the worst result.
However, at this time, two figures suddenly attacked straight towards Qing Xuan, one was as fast as lightning, and a white light was already protecting Lin Yizhi's body, and the high palm was about to slap on this person's head.
Everyone looked at it intently, but no one thought that it was Chu Xiao, the first disciple of Wangwu Peak Qingxuan!
At this time, even Qing Xuan was shocked, but this palm had already fallen, and it was too late to take it back, so Qing Xuan had to shout: "Chu Xiao, what are you doing?"
Chu Xiao only smiled and said: "Master, convincing people with reason is what you often say, how can you convince the public in this way?
Between the lightning and flint, a muffled sound of "pop-" was suddenly heard, and Lu Wujian's figure had already appeared, stretching out his right palm and slapping towards Qing Xuan's extremely fast falling, and slammed it on. Both of them were overwhelmed by the power of the other's palms, and they both took a dozen steps back before they stood still.
Qing Xuan just stepped back, and instantly understood what was going on, and pointed to Lu Wujian, who had just stabilized his figure, and Chu Xiao, who was guarding Lin Yizhi, and said coldly: "You, and you, good!
At this moment, Zeng Ruijin and Lu Xiyue also came to Lin Yizhi and protected him in the middle, but they didn't expect Qingxuan to suddenly attack, and they didn't have time to react, so they reacted at this time. Zeng Ruijin said loudly: "Uncle Qingxuan, if you kill the little junior brother, take the disciple's life first, the little junior brother has a poor background, this slap is by no means a confirmation of the Demon Sect, the reason for this, the little junior brother knows, I also know, but it must not be said!"
Lu Xiyue also pouted, and said fiercely: "Stinky old man, don't bully Brother Yizhi, Daddy and mother will beat the bad guys." ”
Seeing the changes around him, he only slapped the table and chair, angrily rushed to the top beam, and said in a cold voice: "It's the opposite! It's all the opposite! Are you trying to kill each other? I, the head of the sect, haven't risen yet!"
Qing Xuan suddenly heard Qi Nan's voice, and his heart was cold, knowing that this master was also thinking about Lin Yizhi, so he had to glare at Chu Xiao fiercely, and then arched his hand towards Qi Nan and said, "Senior Brother Qi Nan, I suddenly felt unwell, so I will leave first!"
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and then the wind was howling, and the dark clouds were rolling above this Liwu Mountain, like a monster with fangs and claws, trying to uproot this Liwu Mountain. At the end of the sky, lightning flashed, and sharp lightning pierced the junction of heaven and earth like a sharp dagger that suddenly flashed on the curtain of black clouds.
Today, there was a faint roar of angry thunder above the nine heavens. "Boom-", "Boom-", "Boom-"
It was as if the sky was about to fall, and the clouds were about to boil.
Not only the people in the hall, but even the core disciples in the square felt this change, and everyone trembled in fear.
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Heavenly thunder! It's heavenly thunder! Everyone quickly get out of the way!"
"Wow-" I don't know who shouted out in the crowd, and there was a great confusion in the square.
The real person in charge of the sect who was sitting in the right seat suddenly changed his face drastically, "Thunder Tribulation! The Thunder Tribulation sent to me from heaven will not come sooner or later, why is it here at this time? All the junior brothers and sisters will follow me to the peak of Leaving Worries and help me resist the Heavenly Tribulation together! Chu Xiao, you will lead all the chief disciples to the square to maintain order in the square and protect the safety of the core disciples! There must be no mistake. ”
The voice fell, and I saw that Qi Nan had already drawn a streamer, and rushed straight towards the peak of the Sorrowful Peak.
Everyone looked at each other, how could this thunder tribulation come at this juncture, yesterday the Poison Sect Hundred Poison Ancestor had just stolen into Liwu Mountain, if the Demon Sect came at this time, how could Liwu Sect have the strength to fight?
The mood of the people was complicated, and the heads of the houses also turned into a streamer and headed towards the peak of the sorrow. Chu Xiao and the other chief disciples all went out of the main hall with the imperial sword, Chu Xiao stood under the rolling black clouds with a white cold light, his clothes fluttering, his demeanor was vibrant, and he said loudly: "Junior brothers and sisters, don't panic, this is the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of the Sect, everyone should take precautions and wait for the return of the Sect Leader!"
The voice fell, these core disciples were really well-trained, and they immediately calmed down, each of them was the same, and all kinds of immortal magic weapons suddenly flew all over the top of the entire square, shining under the cover of black clouds.
Lu Xiyue pulled Lin Yidao, who was still kneeling in the hall: "Brother Yizhi, come on, my mother gave me a jade Ruyi Qiankun cover, which is a superb defensive magic weapon, let's hide in it." ”
Lin Yiyi agreed, but secretly wondered: What is this thing?......
