CHAPTER XLIV
On this day, Liu Xuanyu was practicing with all the junior disciples, and Liu Xuanyu suddenly received a report from a junior brother: "Senior brother, senior uncle is looking for you" Liu Xuanyu hurriedly put down the sword in his hand and went towards Chen Buwei's residence.
Chen Buwei had already arranged a plan, but I saw that Liu Xuanyu hurriedly came to Chen Buwei's door, Chen Buwei was drinking tea alone inside, Liu Xuanyu strode in when he saw this, and then saluted and said: "The apprentice visits the uncle, I don't know what the uncle has to tell the nephew." ”
Chen Buwei saw Liu Xuanyu come to the front, only to see Chen Buwei secretly flick his fingers and go straight to the wall, just at the moment when Liu Xuanyu took a step, the clay statue of the ancestor displayed on the table in Chen Buwei's room was infused with life, fell to the ground, and shattered in front of Liu Xuanyu's feet, Liu Xuanyu hurriedly stopped and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but it was too late.
That Chen Buwei hurriedly got up and rushed over, looked at the broken clay sculpture of the ancestor with tears in his eyes, trembled and picked up the fragments to look at Liu Xuanyu, and said solemnly: "You, you, Liu Xuanyu, you are so rebellious, you dare to break the statue of the ancestor master, you ・・・・・・"
Liu Xuanyu was still confused, unable to tell which clay sculpture he had dropped, or whether he had accidentally touched the clay sculpture, and hurriedly knelt in front of the broken clay sculpture and said ashamedly: "This, uncle, this," and suddenly couldn't say a word.
At this time, a disciple walked in, and saw the fragments on the ground pointing at Liu Xuanyu and said: "Liu Xuanyu, how can you break the statue of the patriarch" said and hugged his fists and said to Chen Buwei: "Master, Liu Xuanyu made a big mistake and should be punished to the back mountain according to the door rules."
If any disciple commits an unforgivable crime and can only receive such a crime with the consent of the master, then the person who is punished to the back mountain to atone for his sins is undoubtedly sentenced to death.
In fact, this disciple is Chen Buwei's apprentice Wu Zheng, and the two of them have already made a plan to expel Liu Xuanyu from the division while the head of the sect is in retreat, so as to prevent future troubles.
Liu Xuanyu hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, this disciple didn't mean it."
The disciple said again: "Senior Brother Liu, as a dignified husband, how can you not dare to admit it?"
Chen Buwei glanced at Liu Xuanyu coldly, and then his face changed: "Xuanyu, how can you... how can you smash the statue of the ancestor? Our Youlan Sect has very strict door rules, and Uncle Shi can't violate the door rules! Then deal with it according to the door rules! Xuanyu, don't blame Uncle Shi!" After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand.
In the martial arts field of Youlan Palace, Chen Buwei called on all the disciples to hold a public trial meeting, and Liu Xuanyu's ashamed expression was enough to prove that he acquiesced in Chen Buwei's accusation, and Liu Xuanyu was naturally loyal and determined that the portrait of the ancestor was overturned by himself, and I saw all the disciples looking at Chen Buwei on the stage in a neat and orderly manner.
Chen Buwei got up and glanced at the disciples in the audience and said: "Liu Xuanyu smashed the statue of my founding patriarch and committed a great crime of disrespect, since the retreat of the senior brother in charge, the disciples of my Youlan faction have been self-denying, how can Liu Xuanyu disturb the rules of my Youlan faction, as the acting head of the sect, I have not disciplined the disciples, I think I have a responsibility that I can't shirk, and I will definitely bear the guilt after the senior brother in charge of the sect switches." But Liu Xuanyu must be dealt with strictly, so that I can correct my style, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" After speaking, he looked at the disciples in the audience, and when his eyes fell on Wu Zheng, he did not move and nodded.
Na Wu Zheng hurriedly leaned over and said, "Master disciple has something to say"
Chen Buwei showed a lewd smile in his eyes: "Even, Wuzheng, what do you have to say?"
Wu Zheng made a gesture and said: "Senior Uncle, Senior Brother Liu, as our senior brother, should set an example, but Senior Brother Liu has committed a great crime of disrespect, if you don't deal with it strictly, how can you let me wait for the disciples to deny themselves and serve the public service?" After speaking, he turned to the disciples and said: "Senior brothers and brothers, in my opinion, Senior Brother Liu Xuanyu should be heavily responsible, but I am magnanimous on behalf of the head master, so Liu Xuanyu should be punished to think about it for three months under the ancient tree in the back mountain before I can correct my rules."
After that, the disciples in the audience hurriedly rushed over and said: "Uncle Liu, although Senior Brother Liu has committed the crime of great disrespect, but the crime is not to death, if Senior Brother is punished under the ancient tree, let alone March, even if it is three days, his life may not be guaranteed, and I hope that Uncle Liu will be gracious" This is Liu Xuanyu's good junior brother Guo Qin.
After speaking, he immediately knelt down, and more than 100 disciples in the audience all knew Liu Xuanyu as a person, and most of the disciples were usually cared for and cared for by Liu Xuanyu.
Chen Buwei thought that he would be able to put Liu Xuanyu to death this time, but he didn't want Liu Xuanyu to have such a big appeal, and seeing so many people in the audience interceding for Liu Xuanyu, he increased his determination to clear the obstacle in front of him.
Squinted at Liu Xuanyu and hurriedly said: "It's not for the teacher's heart, I grew up watching Xuanyu, Xuanyu has a mistake, I will regret it for the rest of my life, but he committed a great crime of disrespect, and it is difficult to explain to the spirit of the ancestor in the sky without punishment" After speaking, he sighed deeply.
The disciple Guo Qin in the audience saw that there was hope and hurriedly said: "Uncle, a few years ago, a disciple committed a great crime of disrespect, my master in charge magnanimously blamed that disciple for thirty boards, and then closed the door to think about the punishment of that disciple for three months, today Senior Brother Liu has also committed the crime of great disrespect, Uncle Shi, you are magnanimous, and treat our disciples as if they were your own, Uncle Shi, you might as well follow the example of the master in charge, wouldn't it be more reflective of your concern for the disciples?
After speaking, he knelt down and begged Chen Buwei, and the disciples in the audience also shouted: "Please forgive Liu Xuanyu on behalf of the head."
At this time, Liu Xuanyu looked at the junior brothers who pleaded for him in the audience with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down, and said: "I, Liu Xuanyu, have disappointed my uncle, please punish Xuanyu severely" After speaking, he looked at Chen Buwei with tears.
Chen Buwei watched so many disciples plead for Liu Xuanyu, knowing that the will of the people could not be violated, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I also hate Xuanyu and don't make steel, in my opinion, even if Xuanyu is heavily responsible for the thirty boards, even if he is given a lesson, I hope that everyone will work together to work together for my Youlan faction in the future" After speaking, he threw his sleeves away, but he was extremely ruthless to Liu Xuanyu in his heart.
In the process of being beaten, Liu Xuanyu did not let out a shout, gritted his teeth and passed the heavy thirty boards, and after receiving the thirty boards, he could not move and could not stand, and after the support of Guo Qin and several other disciples, Liu Xuanyu was carried into the dormitory.
Liu Xuanyu was beaten to the point that his skin was open, he crawled on the bed and couldn't move, Guo Qin brought warm water herbs and helped Liu Xuanyu apply the medicine while crying, crying and saying: "Senior brother, are you in pain?
