Chapter 9 The Punishment of the Partial Temple
Happy times always pass quickly, and the Wusang Mountain at dusk is once again rendered golden by the setting sun. The bamboo grove outside the kitchen swayed gently in the evening breeze. The disciples on the platform talked happily about their progress that day while eating, and were nervously preparing for the new disciple conference in half a year.
It is said that it is possible for a person who has risen to prominence at the New Disciple Conference to be directly favored by the Star Envoy and brought to Xiao Wusang to cultivate alone, and after passing the cumbersome advanced stage of the Ground Platform and Yuntai, he may be able to become the next Star Envoy of the Heavenly Sect, and this shortcut is a kind of yearning for everyone.
"Hey! Why? Why is each of you improving faster than me? I haven't finished practicing the "Spiritual Attraction Technique", and you have all started to practice magic weapons! How can I be embarrassed to eat with you if I continue like this!" Su Qi said indignantly, catching a glimpse of Tang Nianwei's anger, "Especially you! I knew that you surpassed me so quickly, so I wouldn't have taught you in the first place! Hmph!"
Shangguan Tianli played with the delicate little wine jug in one hand and the newly served rice in the other, sat casually beside Su Qi, and said with a smile: "Yo, the little master is angry." Doesn't that show you're at a high level, isn't it?"
Seeing Shangguan Tianli suddenly sitting next to him, Su Qi immediately quieted down, her cheeks were slightly red, she regretted complaining loudly just now, and pouted, she seemed to be a little aggrieved, and Mo Chuan laughed.
"In that case, I'll teach it next, and I'm not afraid that she will surpass me. The building was still smiling, and even eating was so elegant, unlike Mo Chuan, who was restless in the past few days about what object to choose as a magic weapon. When I look at the chopsticks, they seem to be too thin, and when I look at the bamboo, they seem to be too long to pay attention to.
In contrast, Shangguan Tianli is much simpler, and directly uses the wine jug he carries with him to make treasures.
After returning from Qingya Mountain, the building seemed to pay special attention to Tang Nianwei's spiritual power advancement. The "Spirit Attraction Technique" that the junior disciples of the platform should learn, if it is an ordinary mortal, it is already a heavenly person to be able to master it freely after practicing for two years, not to mention a demon spirit like Mo Chuan who has cultivated for many years and has become a human form, even Shangguan Tianli, who has been a ranger for many years and can subdue demons and eliminate demons, Tang Nianwei has also cultivated to the top of the "Spirit Attraction Technique" one step ahead of him. Less than three months have passed, but she insists on not practicing the magic weapon. You must know that having a magic weapon of your own was a very proud thing among the immortal cultivators at that time.
"Lou Qian Bag, I haven't seen you practice, wandering around Wusang Mountain every day, did you take any panacea when you went back to Qingya Mountain while we weren't there, or did you secretly practice in the middle of the night? Why can't we catch up with you no matter how much progress we make?" Mo Chuan scratched his head and looked at the building suspiciously.
Lou smiled slightly, and said unabashedly: "When I was a child, I was destroyed and became a beggar because of Xi Ze, and later it was Tianzong Mai's mother-in-law who took me in, raised me, and taught me a lot of things, of course, including Tianzong's mental method, so what you are in contact with now, I would have known it a long time ago." ”
"The Mai mother-in-law you are talking about...... Is it ...... was ...... "Knowing that Mai's mother-in-law was the benefactor of the building, Shangguan Tianli was curious but embarrassed to say it directly.
"Expelled from the Heavenly Sect. The building continued with Shangguan Tianli's words as if nothing happened. Because those things were all before he knew it, and the original building was not clear, and Mai's mother-in-law did not shy away from being expelled from the Heavenly Sect, so the building didn't care.
"Oh......" Shangguan Tianli nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, I heard a man at the table stand up and shouted, "After eating, I'll go to the back mountain first!"
When the other disciples heard this, they hurriedly stuffed a few more mouthfuls of rice ball steamed buns into their mouths, put down their dishes and chopsticks, and shouted at the disciples who rushed to the door: "Shao'an! Don't run, Shao'an, you don't play cards according to the routine!"
Then groups of people ran out of the kitchen with the disciple named Shao'an in front of them.
Seeing this, Mo Chuan hurriedly took another bite of food, and hurriedly got up.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Tianli held Mo Chuan down, looked out of the door strangely, and then looked at the disciples left on the table around him, who also looked inexplicable.
Mo Chuan waved his hand and let a few people get close to him, before he whispered: "You just come with me, it's a good thing!"
Everyone followed Mo Chuan out of the kitchen with a blank face, and looked at Mo Chuan's happy appearance, as if they were extremely happy.
After a short time, he walked to the depths of the dense forest in the back mountain, Mo Chuan stepped on his feet and looked, there was no one around, and he was a little deflated at the moment: "These people, really, why don't you wait for me when you say that you are together!"
"What kind of trick are you playing?" Su Qi was also slightly excited to follow Mo Chuan, but seeing Mo Chuan's expression at the moment, he thought that he had made a trip in vain, and sat down on the stone next to him with an unhappy face.
Mo Chuan suddenly smiled, took out a bamboo pipe from his arms, shook it into the air, and a purple-red smoke rushed straight into the sky. "They must have all passed with magic weapons, otherwise how could they be so fast. Hey, I've got to pick a magic weapon now. ”
As he spoke, he saw this purple cloud of smoke in the distance, Mo Chuan withdrew the bamboo tube from the cyst, revealing two tiger teeth and grinning: "It's still a good word." ”
It seemed that the clouds and smoke in the distance came from the upper reaches of the stream, so Mo Chuan hurriedly beckoned everyone to go forward.
This is the valley between Jinsang and Dark Sang, and it is rarely visited by people in normal times, after all, there is still a certain distance from the platform where the junior disciples practice. And the disciples of Yuntai are high up, and they will not come down easily.
As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of talking and laughing from the depths of the dense forest in front of him, Mo Chuan smiled happily and waved his hand ahead: "Shao'an, I've brought a few friends here!"
A voice from the woods that seemed to be disgruntled: "Why are there more people?
However, when Mo Chuan and the others came closer, the young disciple named Shao'an suddenly smiled when he saw Tang Nianwei and Su Qi, and hurriedly beckoned a few people to find a clean stone to sit down, "Oh, the two most beautiful junior sisters on our platform are here, how can you not welcome them!"
Several other disciples hurriedly gave up their seats to Tang Nianwei and Su Qi, letting them sit on the rocks that they had already wiped clean.
Tang Nianwei looked inside and found that there were several disciples by the stream who were pressing two pheasants to shed their feathers. After a while, three more disciples came up, carrying two bags full of wild fruits in their clothes, and the other holding a bunch of bird eggs.
Mo Chuan saw the three of them returning with a full load, and hurriedly stepped forward to help clean the wild fruits by the stream.
"Haha! I said that I haven't seen Mo Chuan after eating in the past few days, and I have listened to my story, so dare you be chic here!" Shangguan Tianli laughed, stretched out his hand to take the bird's egg, and helped to light the fire.
"We can't eat for nothing. Su Qi pulled Tang Nianwei to Mo Chuan's side and helped scrub the wild fruits.
Everyone talked and laughed, and each had their own division of labor, and in a short time the eggs were baked and the fruits were washed.
Looking at the clear and translucent stream, Tang Nianwei suddenly couldn't help but put her hand on her face, the cool stream water slapped on her face, coupled with the blowing of the mountain breeze, it was really indescribable cowardice.
Shao'an watched Tang Nianwei's every move from the side, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this moment, the woman in purple in front of her has a beautiful face, fair skin, coupled with the small droplets of water that runs along her face, and her long black hair that is wet on her sideburns, she is like a fairy descending to earth.
Suddenly, a folding fan slammed in front of Shao'an, and the building didn't know when he stood next to him: "Brother Shao'an, have you seen enough?"
Shao'an hurriedly retracted his eyes, and when he saw the building, he couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily at the moment: "Nosy, who asked you to come over and make peace?
The building retracted the folding fan and said leisurely: "It's not uncommon to be in the bottom. With that, he turned around and walked away, dressed in snow-white clothes, walking through the dense forest overgrown with weeds, still unstained with dust.
When Tang Nianwei and the others found that the building was not there, his figure had already disappeared.
On the second day, just after breakfast in the early morning, Jiang Lin suddenly appeared in the kitchen, named the names of several disciples, and called to the side hall.
When Tang Nianwei heard her name called, she was a little nervous in her heart, she didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the people standing up one by one around her, she suddenly realized. These are all the people who "added dinner" in the back mountain last night.
The side hall is in the northwest of the kitchen, and the other disciples walked out of the kitchen after eating one after another, and saw Tang Nianwei and the others walking towards the side hall, muttering, pointing and pointing, thinking about it, they also knew that there was a lot of luck here.
Ten tables are placed in the center of the side hall, and on each table are pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Sima Kuntu was already waiting here, looking at the disciples who entered one by one with a stern expression.
"Do you know what you guys have done wrong?"
Seeing that the ten disciples in front of him lowered their heads one after another, Sima Kuntu walked over, stood in front of Shao'an, and said sharply: "Do you know!"
Shao'an was trembling, cold sweat was dripping down, his hands were tightly clenched on his sleeves, but he couldn't speak.
"We ...... Let's open the meat ......," Tang Nianwei suddenly said.
Sima Kuntu turned around and looked at the purple-clothed woman in front of him sternly: "Sure enough, she is not a little brave! No wonder you dare to kill living beings! Have you forgotten the teachings of the Heavenly Sect!"
Tang Nianwei lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "The sect didn't say that you can't kill chickens......
"You still dare to talk back! There is no written word 'no killing chickens' in the sect's training, but did you say that you want to protect all living beings in the world?!
Tang Nianwei still wanted to speak, but found that Shangguan Tianli on the side pulled the corner of her clothes, so she closed her mouth.
"The disciples know that they are wrong, please punish the senior brother. "Shangguan Tian left the way.
Sima Kuntu pointed to the neatly placed small bookcase and said: "Tianzong Zongxun, everyone will kneel and copy it for me a thousand times! If you can't finish copying, you are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to eat!"
Sima Kuntu turned around and left, Jiang Lin quietly walked to Tang Nianwei's side, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, I was going to punish you five hundred times, so you can talk more." With that, he walked out of the room.
Several disciples knelt in front of the bookcase and began to complain non-stop, and suddenly Shao'an straightened up and looked around, and exclaimed: "The building! The building is not there, it must be his secret!"
"Nonsense, the building is not the kind of despicable villain. Shangguan Tianli responded immediately.
"Why do you believe him? He left alone yesterday, and we have been to the back mountains many times, why was it discovered by the senior brother this time?" Shao'an asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the first few times it was fine! It must be the ...... of the building," several other disciples commented.
"Don't slander the building, he went up the mountain with us, didn't the whistleblower hurt a few of us?" Tang Nianwei said.
Shao'an's eyes widened, "Weiwei, I don't know my heart if I know people." ”
Mo Chuan couldn't help but be at ease when he heard this: "Senior Brother Shao'an, if I don't believe him, I won't take them over yesterday, anyway, I believe in the building's person!"
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and Shangguan Tianli suddenly said, "You say, is it that the signal purple smoke has been discovered?"
At this question, a disciple nodded and said, "It's also possible to say this, we used to go together and didn't use signals." ”
Su Qi said impatiently: "Then there is no other possibility, anyway, we believe that it was not the building that did it." There's no point in speculating and arguing, but if you don't write about it, you won't be able to eat dinner today!"
These words were like a awakening needle, and when everyone heard the words, they hurriedly lowered their heads and copied the teachings.
