407 Punishment
Inside was a valley, and two white-haired old people sat across a pool of water, both with their eyes closed, not moving.
I didn't see any aura fluctuations in the air, but there were two golden rays in the air that were as fast as lightning bolts, and the light and agile Buddha Nine Heavens Xuannu was dancing.
One of them, Su Mu, recognized that it was the elder who asked him why he was carrying a knife more than ten years ago. Now he naturally knew that he was the famous Second Elder of Tianyi Pavilion, and every disciple of Tianren Pavilion was able to enter the Immortal Gate with his permission.
The man on the other side had a big mouth and a square nose and fiery red hair, wasn't it the legendary Three Elders?
What are the two of them doing?
They were using the form of fighting to practice a spell called Combined Attack, combining the strength of the two of them, and trying their best to make it difficult for Master Ye Shuangran to resist.
"Senior brother, it seems that Gu'er is gone. ”
The second elder used his divine sense to transmit the voice.
The third elder slowly opened his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and his expression was quite respectful and humble, and said, "The foolish brother is also wondering, they have always been sensible, and they dare not leave their posts without permission even if there is a big matter. I have called them three times with my mental power, but there has been no answer. ”
The second elder smiled bitterly and suddenly said, "What's going on outside?"
"It's nothing to you and me. ”
The second elder was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It's really nothing to you and me, but as soon as Gu Er'er is gone, it's a pity that this combined attack technique will die before it can be released." I thought that I would have no regrets about this fall, and that this method could be widely spread by the two of them for the world to practice, but now I am afraid that I will regret it. ”
The third elder said, "Senior brother, our lives are on the line. Since the second son is not there. What do you think of them?"
The second elder listened before he opened his wrinkled eyelids like Shar Pei. He is older than he was twelve years ago, twelve years was nothing to him before, but for him now, who is almost running out of oil, every minute is precious.
Twelve years ago, the third entrance test was the last time he was an examiner, and he had asked countless people over the past few hundred years, and his cultivation was profound, and his mental power was as strong as he could hardly remember who the ancient tree in front of him was.
He didn't care who these two people were, on the occasion of their death. If you bump into it, it's a chance. With a slight wave of his hand, the prohibition around the two of them was removed.
Su Mu mistakenly entered this place, and saw that the two masters and uncles were concentrating on the exercises, so he didn't dare to disturb, and watched carefully with bated breath.
He was a little ashamed to disturb the meditation of the two uncles while being respectful, Zhou Qiyue was different, from the moment he came in, he realized that the situation was not good, and then when he saw the realm cultivation of the two of them when they cast spells, he was so frightened that he was silent. He had been to Tianyi Pavilion several times, and had heard a lot of stories about the four elders who were hidden in the back of Pinglan Mountain, and all of them were profound. I didn't expect that I was so unlucky, and chasing and killing others became a sheep.
His mind was full of thoughts. Thinking about the two of them, he hoped that he could find a way to spare him from dying.
At this moment, Su Mu spoke: "Nine Doors Su Mu visited the two masters. The disciple didn't know that the uncle was cultivating here, just because this pungent dog thief in Wuyang Palace had some old grudges with me, and chased after me. ”
The second elder muttered, "Su Mu...... Is it Su Mu who accepted Man Miao as a maid?"
Su Mu said with some surprise: "I didn't expect Uncle Shi to remember me." ”
"The old man remembered Man Miao, and by the way, he had a little impression of you. She should have the power of divine lightning now, are you still majestic as a young master?"
Seeing that he attached so much importance to Qiu'er, it was necessary to explain, and said: "The disciple treats her like a sister, and has never let her do what a maid should do, and has never let her be wronged by my side." ”
The second elder glanced at Zhou Qiyue and said, "He's chasing you?"
Su Mu hurriedly said: "Uncle Wu probably doesn't know yet, Wuyang Palace and Wuji Gate Rashomon attacked together, Uncle Daoxin rebelled, they should cooperate with the outside and beat us off guard, and suffered heavy losses! He is Zhou Qiyue, the second son of the head of Wuyang Palace, what is the situation outside, you can know a thing or two from the fact that he can unscrupulously chase and kill me on Pinglan Mountain." ”
The second elder was not shocked when he heard this, looked at Zhou Qiyue with a calm face, and nodded: "It is a beautiful and good material, and it can be of great use." ”
The third elder said: "The foolish brother also thinks like this, it is better to just the two of them." ”
The second elder said, "Well, why not. Su Mu, Zhou Qiyue, even if the two of you have had something to do with each other in the past, from today onwards, inherit the mantle of the two of us, and use it together, carry it forward, and no longer worry about some trivial things. ”
When Zhou Qiyue heard the joy, not only did she not kill him, but she also passed on the gong to him, which was simply pie in the sky.
"What?" Su Mu widened his eyes and said unwillingly: "No, Uncle Shi, you must have just been distracted, let me say it again, he is a person from Wuyang Palace, Wuyang Palace is fighting against Tianyi Pavilion for life and death, and this person's small-bellied chicken intestines are despicable and shameless, and he is really the best among the scum." Uncle Shi is a master of Taoism, how can he pass on his lifelong cultivation to this kind of villain?"
The second elder said: "There is fate, and when he meets, it is fate." ”
Zhou Qiyue is a smart person, and she didn't argue with Su Mu at all, so she immediately knelt down and said, "The disciple will definitely show the world the combined attack technique of the seniors, and will not bury the hard work of the two predecessors who have been hidden in the mountains for many years." ”
The second elder nodded with satisfaction, and said to the third elder: "Senior brother, if the two of us pursued the upper realm two hundred years ago, now I am afraid that we have already advanced to the immortal realm, and the longevity will also be extended, how can it be so sudden that the rain will stop, and the time will be exhausted, do you regret it?"
The third elder smiled lightly and said, "The foolish brother can study the Dao method with the senior brother in this life and create the unfinished things of a hundred generations of immortals, which is really a great blessing in life, how can I regret it?"
The second elder also smiled.
Su Mu saw that they were going to be serious, so he dissuaded again: "The two masters and uncles listen to the disciple's words, if you want to let the uncle's hard work be passed on to the world, there is an easier way, just burn it in the disciple's mind, and the disciple will relay it to the master and uncle." This person is a wolf, don't let him get a glimpse of his uncle's supreme skills, so as not to leave a disaster to his family. ”
The second elder said: "Come and come, go and go, floating and busy, clear Taoist heart, right and wrong, grievances, love and hatred, all have no cause, no reason." Teacher and nephew. I hope you can understand the old man's good intentions. ”
Su Mu naturally knew what this meant. Monks like the second and third uncles who have lived for more than a thousand years. The body's functions are all maintained by mana, and once the power is dispersed, it will be wiped out.
"Gu Xiaoshu, Zhou Qiyue, listen, the reason why the two of us were able to practice this combined attack technique was thanks to the guidance of the third uncle back then, and now that he has succeeded, he must be pleased to hear it. This news is to be the first to sue him. It can be regarded as the old man's last wish. ”
"Where is the third uncle?"
"Uncle Shi has traveled all over the world, and his whereabouts are ethereal, and if there is an opportunity, he will meet him. ”
The two of them passed on their lifelong cultivation to them separately.
In this way, Su Mu got the mantle of the second elder.
Zhou Qiyue strayed into the forbidden land of Tianyi Pavilion, but it was either a curse or a blessing, and she was already so happy that she couldn't help herself, with a floating smile on her mouth.
After the two elders dispersed, they turned into nothingness.
Su Mu respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Feeling the powerful vitality fluctuations in his body, Zhou Qiyue's eyes radiated crazy excitement, he had always longed to surpass his brother Zhou Qiri. But no matter how hard he tried, his father gave him many rare and exotic elixirs. has always been far away from him, and he has always been unwilling.
Now it's finally happening.
The three elders of Tianyi Pavilion have already added a thousand years of cultivation to his body, and he only needs to slowly refine it for his own use, and he can leap into the immortal realm!
He could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "I'm going to become an immortal realm monk......!"
He only cared about dreaming, but he didn't know that only when the two of them attacked together, could he reach the immortal realm cultivation. At any other time, no matter what spell is used, it is still in the original state. This is the magic of the two elders' combined attack technique, as long as this set of exercises is transplanted to the two True Yuan Realm cultivators, the combined attack can produce a short-term anti-heaven effect.
The two of them can join forces to create a joint attack, and Zhou Qiyue took advantage of this to make everyone mistakenly think that he had learned a spell from the Wuyang Palace.
Zhou Qiyue is already in the small tribulation realm, two realms higher than Su Mu, and the ability to control the mana in the elder's transmission body is much stronger than Su Mu, and the spiritual power of the two has many commonalities. Therefore, Gu Xiaoshu's golden light, which was originally like a disciple of Wuyang Palace, was abducted by Zhou Qiyue and shot away with a hatred of Dao. Dao hated to see the opportunity early, and immediately dodged, and the two disciples around him suffered, and the bones that were immediately roasted by the golden light were gone.
Everyone who saw it was amazed that the spiritual power emanating from the two of them was exactly the same, and if they didn't look at their faces, they would think that it was the same person.
When the effect was achieved, Zhou Qiyue added another fire, and shouted: "Su Mu, I hate that old puppet is not so easy to deal with, don't be anxious, clean up the others first." ”
"Su Mu, it turns out that you are also a spy!" a Qianmen disciple roared angrily.
Su Mu was captured by Dao Yuan and waited to be released.
After the war, there were a total of seventy-six spies who were captured, including the Dao Heart that Ye Shuang was the most painful. Counting the dead spies, there are more than 300 people!
Xue Jingjing glanced at Su Mu, looking a little puzzled.
Inside the main hall.
The head looked at these spies with a grim expression.
First of all, the second senior brother of Kanmen, announced that each of the seven crimes he confessed to could not be forgiven, and immediately carried out the punishment of soul-splitting. There are fifty-two spies in Kanmen, eight in Zhenmen, and sixteen in Kunmen. The punishment of falling and sinking will never be exceeded.
The head of the sect really couldn't bear to kill Dao Xin, and even several elders were moved by compassion. They don't know when he was controlled by the Wuyang Palace, they only know that they have been companions since childhood, following the master to the world, sharing weal and woe, and being like brothers.
Dao Xin was imprisoned in the Demon Cave in the back mountain and could not leave for the rest of his life.
There was only one Su Mu left. He knelt in the main hall, with the same door on the left and right, and in front of him was the master of the Dao hatred and the ancestor of the head of the family.
Thousands of disciples' eyes were focused on him, he didn't know what he was going to face, he only knew that he would never compromise because he hadn't done anything to be sorry for Tianyi Pavilion.
Then, he blushed and inadvertently lowered his head.
Those spirit herbs and elixirs, those spirit beasts and spirit cores......
Ye Shuangran suffered blows again and again, and Dao Xin's betrayal made him even more uncomfortable, his most painful disciple actually did such a thing as a pig and a dog, is it because he can't teach well or because he is a wolf with ambition?
He was tired and closed his eyes slightly. Just the throbbing eyelids showed that he had no intention of resting at all.
Seeing that the master was silent for a long time, Dao Hate took a step and said, "Su Mu." When did Zhou Qiyue first meet you?"
Su Mu said: "Twelve years ago, Jiumen was sent to Hachi Island. It was the first time I played against Zhou Qiyue. ”
The Elder Dao Xiang squinted at him with narrow eyes: "Why don't you call yourself a disciple? You already think in your heart that you are not a member of Tianyi Pavilion, right?"
Su Mu knew that this old guy had been working against Jiumen. Try your best to pick no, it's just a normal reply, and it can be put on such a big hat by him, it's really a bit angry.
Dao Hate also felt that Dao Xiang Senior Brother was a little picky, and continued, "You fought alone at that time, but he didn't kill you. ”
Su Mu said: "When he saw that his disciple's cultivation was low, he pretended to make a gesture, saying that he didn't bother to make a move. ”
"Is that so?"
The nine disciples came out together. Song Shinian said: "Uncle Shi, the little junior brother has an innocent background, and he has devoted himself to cultivation after getting started, although his personality is a little unruly, but he respects his teacher, and it is impossible to do anything contrary to the common sense. ”
Dao Xiang snorted coldly, "Which of the nine gates is not a crooked melon and cracked jujube? It's just a raccoon dog, Su Mu is still investigating, do you think you can get rid of it?"
Dao Yuan flicked up, and the halberd pointed and shouted: "Dao Xiang! You are also an elder." There is a debtor and a debtor, so why should the grudge between you and me always affect the younger generations? The two of us made a contract in front of the head of the family and uncle, and there was a battle of life and death, in short, Tianyi Pavilion has you and me!"
Dao Xiang knew that his kung fu couldn't beat him, but his beautiful words were far better than him, and said: "I don't have time to worry about personal grievances with you, Tianyi Pavilion is in trouble, and I want to do a little more." ”
Ye Shuangran, who had been closing his eyes, frowned.
Dao Hate said with a cold face: "Don't quarrel with the two junior brothers, what the senior brother said is that now that it is an eventful season, let go of your grievances for the time being." Su Mu, has Zhou Qiyue contacted you privately over the years?"
Su Mu said: "Uncle Shi can use the Mind Stealing Technique to see the past in the disciple's mind to know the disciple's innocence. ”
Dao hated and said: "It is okay to use the art of stealing thoughts on mortals, but monks are in danger of dementia if they are stolen by others, do you want to become an idiot? ”
Su Mu said: "I have never been in contact with Zhou Qiyue in private. ”
"You two know the same exercise, how do you explain that?"
Su Mu said: "This can't be explained, I promised others, but I can't say it now." ”
Dao Yuan saw that he still dared to contradict him at this juncture, and scolded, "Bastard, your uncle asks you something, even if it is a big secret, you have to tell it truthfully, say it quickly." ”
Su Mu said: "If a person has no faith, he can't stand, and the disciple can't say it." ”
The disciples looked at each other, surprised by Su Mu's attitude, and muttered to each other.
The little white rabbit hurriedly said: "Su Mu, this is the most critical place, you will be fine if you make it clear, otherwise how can you prove your innocence?"
Su Mu said without thinking: "This is his old man's last wish, I promised him not to sue others now." ”
Dao hated and said: "I can't say it now, when can I say it?"
"When the disciple finds the senior uncle, he can say it. ”
"What if you can't find it in your life?"
"The disciple does not say anything in his life. ”
"How do you convince me that this is not a reason for you to shirk?"
"Or, Uncle Shi can catch Zhou Qiyue, maybe he will say. ”
Dao Hate said in a deep voice: "You know that this is impossible. The conspiracy matter will be dealt with today, and if you can't prove your innocence, you should know what kind of punishment you will face. ”
Su Mutian was fighting, his face was in pain, and he couldn't help but want to tell him what happened, he really didn't know what punishment he was going to face, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.
He believes that the pure will be self-purifying, and the bright will not be eroded by the darkness, but after a long time of purification, others still think that he is a spy, how can this be good? Of course, credit is important in his heart, but it is far less than life, and life is gone, and credit is useless? The key is how to punish himself now, and if there is no worry about his life, he would rather not say it. And just now in front of everyone, five people and six people said that people don't stand without faith, so they changed their words after a while, and they will be shameless in the future?
Dao Hate sighed and said, "It seems that you insist on not saying anything." ”
He turned around and bowed his head, "Master......"
Ye Shuangran reclined on the seat, supporting his forehead with one hand, still closing his eyes, and raised his hand tiredly.
Dao Hate whispered, "Yes." ”
Su Mu's heart immediately hung in the air, and then I am afraid that I will know how the master will punish him.
Dao hated and said: "The law enforcement disciples of Qianmen Kunmen are out of the ranks. ”
"The disciple is here. ”
Wang Shilin Xiangting came out in response.
"Su Mu's identity is unknown, and he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. and refused to confess. Repair him to the point of abolition. Expelled from the Celestial Pavilion. ”
Xiangting Wang Shilin received Su Mu's great favor in Xianyuan Mountain, and after he came back, he concealed the truth, and he was always ashamed of him.
The seventh princess of Kunmen, Caimo and Jin Qiaoqiao, stood together, and couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the sound, and they couldn't tell what it was like.
And all the people were talking. Some people don't understand why Senior Brother Wang and Senior Sister Xiangting hesitated, some people think that this punishment is too light, and some people think that this punishment is too heavy, after all, the truth has not yet been ascertained.
At this time, a thin figure walked out of the queue and knelt down side by side with Su Mu, and a slow but firm voice sounded in the main hall: "The disciple is willing to vouch for his life that Su Mu is innocent." ”
Looking at the petite woman with a delicate face kneeling beside Su Mu, the discussion in the hall was suddenly close to boiling, like a swarm of bees suddenly flying in. Buzzing.
Su Mu looked at her with some distraction, what kind of person was she? Her monkey stealing peach startled him to completely change his opinion of women, but he still regrets that he shouldn't have retaliated in the first place......
In my impression, she has never been serious, but at this moment, she is kneeling quietly beside him, her expression is flat and stern, as if she is doing the most serious thing.
Dao Rou's heart suddenly moved when she heard that familiar voice, and she turned her head to look at the stupid apprentice who knelt down at some point, thinking that if she had a little errand, the difficult master would be the first to settle accounts with her, and immediately shouted: "Rabbit, go back!"
The expression on the little white rabbit's face was as calm and indifferent as the spring breeze in the early spring morning, and said, "The disciple is willing to be punished with Su Mu." ”
Dao Ju said: "Don't you want to die? Come back!"
The little white rabbit seemed to be saying the most ordinary thing, and said to Daoju: "He is not a spy. ”
Facing this slightly complicated situation, Dao Hate sighed and glanced at the little white rabbit.
"Rabbit nephew, this matter has nothing to do with you, so step back for the time being. ”
The little white rabbit was silent, just kneeling calmly.
Xue Jing looked at Su Mu and Feng Baitu kneeling in the main hall seriously, and carefully smacked the sentence 'The disciple is willing to guarantee with his life......
Su Mu no longer hesitated, he really didn't have any friends in his life, and he had one today.
He looked up at Dao Hate and said, "Uncle Shi, the disciple has something to say." ”
Dao Hate breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Say." ”
Su Mu glanced at the exhausted master of the sect with concern, and said, "That day, Zhou Qiyue chased me all the way, and the disciple fled in the back mountain in a panic, strayed into a large hall built against the mountain, passed through a moon door, and saw the second master and the third master practicing spells, and then said that they would teach the two of us the combined attack technique that they had practiced together for two hundred years. The disciple didn't understand what the combined attack technique was, only that the power generated when I worked together with Zhou Qiyue was particularly strong, and the disciple later understood that whoever had a high level of cultivation could dominate the direction of the attack, and the disciple was dull and was used by Zhou Qiyue without knowing it. Before the two masters taught, the second master said to the disciples that this method had been gradually effective after the guidance of the third master and uncle, so he asked the disciple to tell the third master and uncle the news that this work had been accomplished. ”
Ye Shuangran opened his eyes halfway through hearing this, full of panic.
Dao Hate also realized the problem, and said hurriedly: "Where are the second senior brother and the third senior brother now?"
Su Mu said: "The two Shi Boxian have passed away. ”
Hearing the news that the second elder and the third elder had gone away, Ye Shuangran's face was expressionless, his eyes were silent for a long time as if he was looking at a wall, and he slowly walked towards the back mountain like an old man with vicissitudes of life.
"You have proved your innocence, but you have used the exercises without permission, used them by others, and harmed the lives of two fellow disciples, and you deserve to be punished. ”
He nodded slightly to Wang Shilin: "Take him to Chongyang Mountain." ”
Chongyang Mountain is the only snow-capped mountain in the back mountain, and there is a ferry at the bottom of the mountain, which is jokingly called the Tiger Mouth Ferry by the inner disciples.
The climate here is extremely harsh, and you can experience four climates in one day: spring in the morning, summer at noon, autumn in the evening, and winter in the evening. Every noon, the snow-capped mountains melt, and the huge torrent crashes downwards violently, like a fierce tiger biting.
Su Mu was locked up in the center of Hukou Ferry.
He had been imprisoned for more than a month, and no one had ever visited him.
At noon, the sun was blazing.
The thick layer of snow on the top of Chongyang Mountain began to melt softly, and the water flowed into a river, rushing straight down, hitting the ancient trees at the foot of the mountain.
Freshly scorched by the sun, he shivered as soon as he touched the cold and biting blood, gritted his teeth, and prepared to endure the fierce washing for up to three hours.
With a rumbling ring in his ears, he was all focused on maintaining the vitality on the surface of his body, resisting the cold from invading his body. I didn't notice a pale golden light from the sky. (To be continued......)
