Chapter 31
Away from the mountain, away from the hall.
Today, only a few candles were lit in the main hall, and with the swaying of the sudden mountain wind, the light in the main hall also flickered and dimmed, but it seemed even deeper and empty.
No one spoke, and the eight leaders sat down in turn, silent, as if carved clay sculptures of wood. Silent and oppressive.
Qi Nan sat alone in the middle of the sect, and with the flickering candles, his old face seemed to be clouded, and his expression could not be seen. The wind was like an uninvited guest, blowing the corners of his clothes, and at this moment, his originally tall and majestic body actually seemed a little lonely.
"Click-", in the boundless silence, there was an occasional sound like this, although it was faint, but it was still like a thunderbolt, echoing in the ears of each of the first seats, followed by "click-", "click-", "click-"
Lu Wujian knew that the sound came from the bronze candlestick on the quaint and thick pillar. The wax wicks glowing with yellow light in the red candles on the candlestick not only reflect the hall, but also reflect the wax tears that are as clear as jade.
Wax tears fell on the bronze candlestick, and after a while, those wax tears condensed into a dry red again, and from a distance, it looked like weeping blood.
In the past, this clicking sound would never be heard in the main hall, and this kind of situation was only twice in Lu Wujian's memory. And the only two memories, Lu Wujian hopes never to touch them.
One time...... Double-click...... Three times ......
Perhaps to pass the time, Lu Wujian began to silently count the number of times this voice sounded, until he counted to the one hundred and twenty-seventh, but no one spoke in this hall.
Qi Nan just leaned back in the chair quietly, not moving, and there was not even a little momentum on his body, as if he was asleep.
Lu Wujian is usually boring, he can endure this depression, but not everyone is like this, he expects that someone will stand up and speak first. He guessed that it should be a Heavenly Anger Daoist.
Sure enough, one of the people stood up and whispered impatiently, "I said, are you tired from a fight? Or are you all tired of watching? There are so many disciples outside the door in broad daylight, and none of us speak in front of us, what are we doing? I have counted more than 300 candles, how many more will I count? Senior brother, if you sleep, I can go back and eat my fresh fish!"
Lu Wujian raised his eyes and looked at it, only to realize that he had thought wrongly, and it was Ning Wan, the lean old man who was a little crazy and very greedy at the first seat of the Sacrifice Peak who was talking.
Hearing the sound of him counting candles like himself, and it took longer than his own counting, Lu Wujian couldn't help but want to laugh.
Qi Nan's left hand moved slightly, gently pointed to Tianyi and Tianyi on the left, and then pointed to Lu Wujian on the right, and slowly put down his left hand. Then with a long sigh, the old voice sounded again, and although it felt that the voice had no strength, the suppressed anger in the voice was obvious: "You three are really good!"
In just one word, Lu Wuji, Tianyi, and Tianyi's hearts couldn't help but twitch, this tone was too much like his master Wuji real person, if it weren't for what he did on this stage, I am afraid that at this moment, I would have felt that this was the master teaching his apprentices.
In the difficult position, the candle can only shine on the lower half of the body, and the upper body and the whole face are still shrouded in shadows.
Lu Wujian suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this senior brother more and more.
Tian Yan couldn't stand it anymore, he was originally a fiery temper, if it wasn't for Tianyi's eyes all the time, he would have jumped up, and now he didn't say who was right or wrong, but it was the feeling of hitting a rake, where did he still hold it, he stood up suddenly, and shouted in a thick voice: "Senior brother in charge, I'm afraid I don't know the truth." It's not my junior brother who caused trouble, it's this jujube core head that hurt my inner disciple first, and then destroyed my chief disciple Immortal Sword, and then I ......"
He smiled and couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said, "So, are you wronged?" ”
Tian Yan was a rough man, and he followed the difficult words and said: "How can my inner disciple's arm be broken in vain? And my first disciple immortal sword was destroyed, he is responsible for sending me a handful, and the quality is only good and not bad!"
Qi Nan glanced at Lu Wuji, only to see that Lu Wuji's eyes were slightly closed at this time, and his face was expressionless, but he was calm and tight.
Qi Nan smiled again: "What if he doesn't follow?"
Tian Yan glared at him and said: "If he doesn't follow, I will fight him again, to seek justice!"
"Good, good, good!" "It's hard to say three good in a row, and suddenly rushed up from the chair in the middle, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of Tianyi, and the wide sleeve robe moved, and after a lifetime of crisp sounds, there was already a bright red slap print on Tianyan's face.
Tian covered his face with anger, and suddenly thought that this was the master, so he endured it without saying a word.
The seven leaders had never seen such a difficulty, and they all knelt on the ground and said: "Senior brother in charge of the family is angry! Senior brother in charge of the family is angry!"
Qi Nan sneered, pointed to these first seats among the disciples with his hand, and said slowly: "Hehe, where do you still have me as the senior brother in charge in your eyes? There is one point, today's situation will not appear!
After that, he pointed at the sky with his hand and said: "I treat you shameless fool! I have never known how to cultivate my mind and cultivate my nature in my cultivation, but I am competitive and competitive, and no one can compare to you! Although Lu Wujian is at fault, he is the head of the lineage, and he is also your senior brother, I am afraid that I don't need to ask you for instructions if I teach you an inner disciple who speaks wildly! You are good, the chief disciple is the first, and you, the master of the master, don't know how to stop it, but rush up and fight hard! Don't you want to be the first seat, if you don't want to be, believe it or not, I will abolish your cultivation!"
The words were like knives, and the voices were fierce, and even the old body trembled slightly.
Tian pounced on his knees on the ground, beads of sweat rolled down, and the expression on his face just now that he was reasonable had already flown out of the clouds.
Qi Nan turned to Lu Wujian and said, "What do you say?"
Lu Wujian looked calm, and said slowly: "Senior brother, I was confused for a while, so I made a big mistake and asked to cut off the first position." ”
As soon as the words came out, all the first seats, including the Heavenly Anger, were extremely surprised.
Yixin Daoist and Jing Linan both knelt down and climbed half a step, and said to Qi Nan: "Senior brother think twice, don't cut off the uninhibited ......"
He let out a long sigh and waved his hand to stop them talking. Then he turned around and slowly walked to his seat, and sat down slowly, with a trace of helplessness and loneliness in his back.
The Phantom Dust Master didn't say a word, she stared straight at Lu Wujian from the beginning, her expression was complicated and unpredictable, and she didn't know what to think.
Qi Nan sighed again, waved his hand, and said with some weakness: "That's it, you all get up!"
Then the people stood up. Lu Wujian obviously also noticed the look in Phantom Chen's eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart, but he was silent on the surface.
It was difficult to see these people get up, so he calmed down and said: "I am far from worrying, since the ancestors left the worries and started a business, now it is still more than seven generations and more than 10,000 years, the ups and downs in the middle are clear to everyone, think about our long-established master Wuji real person, once hope for us, and then look at you now one by one, can you feel at ease?"
The eight masters suddenly tightened their bodies, and said in unison: "Senior brother taught me a lesson, I am ashamed!"
"I'm ashamed! I hope I don't say it with my mouth, Qing Xuan, you can see how to deal with today's affairs!" Qi Nan set his eyes on the Venerable Qing Xuan who was standing closest to him.
Qing Xuan hesitated a little, and looked at Qi Qi: "According to the door rules, the three junior disciples of Tianyi, Tianyi and Lu Wujian should be punished for thinking about it for three years in their own veins, and they are not allowed to take a step unless they are summoned by the head of the sect within three years, as for Hu Feng's small offense, because the fairy sword was destroyed, but it is offset, and the remaining disciples such as the inner disciple and that Lin Yizhi should both be expelled from the Worry Gate!"
When Lu Wujian heard this, his expression turned grim, but he said: "This is unfair, what does this have to do with my little apprentice? If you want to expel him, I will never sit on this seat again!"
Although Lu Wujian has always been cold to this apprentice in his heart, he still takes care of this apprentice at the critical moment, but he is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and because Lin Yizhi sacrificed his life to protect his daughter, he is criticized today, and he has to protect him in public and private.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "That inner disciple, after the injury is healed, just expel him directly, as for that Lin Yizhi, he was criticized, so if he doesn't do anything else, he won't deal with it." ”
Qing Xuanle got off the donkey down the slope and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Tianyi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Tianyi, so he had to be depressed.
Only then did he stand up, and said with a smile: "Don't blame you, junior brothers, I am in a high position, and I have to do this, but this matter has passed, and you junior brothers and sisters must work together to revitalize the Taoist system!"
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they all sat down in their seats.
Qing Xuanyi arched his hand and said, "Senior Brother in charge, have you really thought about the decision made last time?"
Qi nodded and said: "Exactly, now there are internal troubles, and there are demons outside, although the Zen Silence Temple is not competitive, but it has mastered the Western Zen Realm, and the number of disciples is not much different from my worries, and the cultivation of the four great monks of the Zen Silence Temple is also on par with me, but this is not to say, the newly promoted Ling Yijian, the master of the Sword Valley, is amazingly talented, although his qualifications are shallow, but he wants to press me from the worries everywhere." Moreover, the remnants of the Demon Sect's Blood Feather Temple are also ready to move, and the Poison Killing Gate, Refining Soul Valley, etc. are even more repeated, if we don't concentrate on cultivating, first, this position of the leader will not be firm, and second, ten years later, the Sword River trial, I'm afraid I can't get out of my worries!"
All the leaders nodded with concern. It was hard to see that it was meaningless, so he said: "So, it is announced!"
Tens of thousands of disciples all stood outside the Great Hall of Separation and Sorrow, watching what news would come from this Great Hall of Leaving Worries. I guess from the tone of the master, I can guess that he is furious.
Suddenly, the figure in the Great Hall of Sorrow shook, and everyone looked at it with a flash, it was the Venerable Master of Wangwu Feng Qingxuan, who was the Heavenly Criminal Law.
I saw that Master Qing Xuan was extraordinary, full of immortal breath, and came to the door of the main hall with a golden decree in his hand, and said loudly to tens of thousands of disciples: "Sect Leader, kneel!"
As soon as the word "kneeling" came out, tens of thousands of disciples knelt on the ground, and the huge mountain of sorrow was quiet without a sound.
I could only hear Xuan Lang's voice echoing in mid-air: "The ins and outs of today's events are all known to the Sect Leader, the first seat of Mo Worry Peak is unrestrained, the first seat of Anger Peak is Tian Yi, and the first seat of Hate Worry Peak Tianyi has all been thinking about it for three years in this door, and without the order of the Sect Leader, he is not allowed to act without authorization." I will expel one of the inner disciples of the Anger Peak who incite people's hearts from the Sorrow Sect, and never use it! The rest of the people will not be pursued again!"
As soon as Jun Zhi Fang finished reading, it caused a small commotion among tens of thousands of disciples in the audience, and Lu Xiyue was even more unrelenting, standing up and shouting at Qing Xuan in the distance: "What is the Jun Decree, it's not fair at all!"
Frightened, Mu Yuqiu hurriedly grabbed her and whispered, "Xiyue must not talk nonsense!"
Lu Xiyue was still angry, and muttered in a low voice: "Originally, I think Uncle Qi is old and confused, my father teaches Yizhi's brother a lesson to those who look down on him, what is wrong, he will be punished!"
Lin Yi's heart was already like a pot, all kinds of tastes came to his heart, his master did not hesitate to fight and be punished for him, an unsuccessful fool, which made him unbearable!
After thinking about it, he stood up and buried his head, and walked into the hall of leaving worries. Mu Yuqiu quickly grabbed him and said, "Yizhi, what are you doing?"
When Lin Yizhi raised his head, his face was already stained with tears, but his voice was extremely firm: "I want to go to see the real person in charge of the sect, how can I be indifferent because my master has been punished because of me?
Where is Mu Yuqiu willing to let go, he grabbed this somewhat stupid old five, and said eagerly: "It's not okay, your master's move just doesn't want you to be punished, if you go in recklessly, don't you let the real person in charge of the sect angry, wouldn't it live up to your master's heart?"
Lin Yizhi woke up like a dream, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly a few times and said: "But ......the master respects him" The sentence, the somewhat funny jujube kernel head, the one that is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, but not annoying, the figure that is sometimes kind and sometimes majestic flashes in Lin Yizhi's mind like the wind.
The next moment, this young man knelt down straight, and kowtowed three times to the shadow of the shadow in the Great Hall of Sorrow. At the moment, Mu Yuqiu, Lu Xiyue and Mo Youfeng's disciples, no one stopped them, but in their hearts, they had a little love for the master who did not have the slightest immortal spirit.
The distant and majestic voice in the Great Hall of Sorrow resounded again in the continuous Sorrow Mountain Range: "From today onwards, the Sorrow Sect will be closed for ten years, and the date of the Jianchuan trial will expire. Except for the disciples who were recruited after five years, all the disciples must strictly restrain themselves, be diligent in cultivation, and must not leave the mountain without the order of the sect......!
The vicissitudes of life were still floating in the sky above the lush Liwu Mountain, and the decision to close the mountain had already made the faces of all the disciples of the Liwu Sect full of disbelief.
