From the date of being punished to think about it, seven days passed quickly. This is the day on which the punishment is officially received.

However, in Yin Zhiping's view, this is the day when he will start his retreat. This is also what he has always said to Li Mochou.

After the morning class of this day, Ma Yu stopped the people who were about to disperse and announced the punishment of Yin Zhiping in public. However, the reason for the disclosure is naturally not the matter of Lujiazhuang, the matter of Lujiazhuang is actually a private matter, and there are very few people who know the Tao. Moreover, there are a lot of secrets that are not easy to understand, and this cannot be openly used as a reason. The public reason is only to accuse Yin Zhiping of making unauthorized claims, missing for a year and not being heard from, although there is a reason for the incident, and the reason is legitimate, but this has no sense of responsibility as the first disciple, and it is not advisable to act casually.

Those who know about it, such as Liuzi and others, all know what the real reason for Yin Zhiping's punishment is. However, for the three generations of disciples below who did not know and the four generations of disciples outside the hall, many people felt that the master and a few real people were inevitably making a fuss, and it seemed that they were too harsh.

On the day Yin Zhiping came back, he helped subdue the four Sha Tongtian who had escaped, and avoided the possible casualties of the third and fourth generations of disciples who were chasing at that time. Afterwards, on the grounds of the safety of the detained disciples in the future, he tried to persuade the head of the sect to order the killing of the four Sha Tongtian, which not only avenged the detained disciples who were killed that day, but also eliminated the future troubles once and for all, so that they did not have to bother to guard them anymore, and they did not have to worry about the killing of the detained disciples again. Therefore, many people are very grateful to Yin Zhiping in their hearts, and now when they hear the punishment of Yin Zhiping announced by the head of the sect, they can't help but feel a little unfair for him.

It's just that as soon as the decree of the teachings came out. and they will not be allowed to refute it. And after two months of thinking about it, this punishment is not too heavy. So there was a buzz and a whisper for a moment. However, no one has raised doubts and rebuttals.

However, under the door of the first row of the king, Zhao Zhijing, the eldest disciple of the former faction. But he selfishly felt that the punishment for Yin Zhiping was too light, and the punishment should be heavier. He fundamentally hoped that Yin Zhiping would better disappear forever and never come back, so that he could have the opportunity to take the position of the first disciple. After getting the news of Yin Zhiping's disappearance, the entire Quanzhen Sect may be the happiest than him.

It seemed that he felt the resentful and jealous gaze of Zhao Zhijing next to him, and Yin Zhiping turned his head to look at it. Seeing that it was Zhao Zhijing, he smiled at him and nodded.

Then. After Ma Yu announced the punishment of Yin Zhiping, he left the hall with his six sons, and the three generations of disciples in the hall had not dispersed. After nodding to Zhao Zhijing, Yin Zhiping asked, "When did Senior Brother Zhao come back?"

In the past few days since he came back, Zhao Zhijing has not been in Chongyang Palace. In the past few days, Zhao Zhijing has not been seen in the main hall for morning classes every day, Yin Zhiping also curiously inquired about Li Zhichang, only to learn that Zhao Zhijing was also sent down the mountain to inquire about him on the rivers and lakes.

And after he came back from writing a letter to the longevity concept, Ma Yu and others learned that he had reappeared. And after being safe, he issued another order to all parts of the country, recalling the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect who were still searching for him on the rivers and lakes. But these people are close and far away from Zhongnan Mountain, and some of the places they go to do not have the view of the Quanzhen Sect. Or they are in a remote and inaccessible place, and there is no news, so there are still many people who can't get the news for a while. And some got the news. But because the distance was too far, he couldn't rush back for a while.

Zhao Zhijing is one of them. It's just that I don't know what the reason for his actual situation is. Anyway, since Yin Zhiping returned to the mountain, he has not seen Zhao Zhijing in the past few days. Until today's morning class. I suddenly found that Zhao Zhijing had returned, and sat back in the position of the eldest disciple in the row next to him, sitting in the same row as him.

But Fang was doing the morning class, although Yin Zhiping was a little curious about when Zhao Zhijing came back, he didn't ask, and then took the opportunity to ask casually.

Zhao Zhijing smiled back a little unnaturally, pulled back the sanctimonious and Taoist look, and replied, "I only came back last night." ”

Yin Zhiping nodded and said politely: "I acted inappropriately, and I was tired of Senior Brother Zhao running around for me, but I really can't help it!"

Zhao Zhijing was angry and hateful, and wanted to scold. If it weren't for Yin Zhiping becoming the first disciple, how could the Quanzhen Sect value him so much, and after learning that he was missing, almost all the disciples were mobilized to go down the mountain to look for him. He, Zhao Zhijing, was neither willing nor willing to go to Yin Zhiping, but he had no choice but to be sent down the mountain.

Failing to become the first disciple has always been a pain in Zhao Zhijing's heart. At present, Yin Zhiping said thank you so politely, but when Zhao Zhijing heard it, he felt extremely harsh, and he only felt that Yin Zhiping was showing off his identity as the first disciple in front of him. He was furious in his heart, and he wanted to stab Yin Zhiping to death under the sword with a sword, but at this time, he had to remain polite on his face, and said politely against his will: "Where and where, since we are brothers in the same sect, these are what I should do, and it is my duty, Senior Brother Yin doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Yin Zhiping was not interested in chatting with Zhao Zhijing more, but he was a little curious about when Zhao Zhijing would come back, so he asked casually. The kind words after that were just in passing, and they didn't mean anything else, and he didn't care about Zhao Zhi in his heart. It's just a lie, and he is polite on the face, but in fact, he hasn't even done a courtesy.

As for Zhao Zhijing's kind words in return, he also knew that it was not true. Just think of it as the wind in your ears, and forget it when it blows. At the moment, he was not interested in chatting more, and casually politely said two nonsense words that were not nutritious, and Yin Zhiping said goodbye and left.

Out of the hall gate, Cheng Yaojia caught up from behind and shouted, "Senior Brother Yin." ”

Yin Zhiping stopped and turned around to wait for her to come over. On the day he returned, he and Cheng Yaojia met for the first time in Chongyang Palace, and they had said that they would visit Cheng Yaojia another day. But there are a lot of things to do in the past few days, but I can't take care of it. In addition, he has given up on this girl, although he is very sorry and sympathetic to her current encounter and fate, but he also does not want to have more involvement and entanglement with her. It was because he said that he would visit the door that day, and he was mostly kind words. I didn't actually think to visit.

But now that people have found it, whether it's for this or not. After Yin Zhiping came over with her, he immediately apologized: "Senior Sister Cheng." I'm sorry, but Japan said that I was going to visit you separately, but I can't spare time for a lot of things these days. Now, I have time, but I don't dare to delay it longer. After that, I entered the Siguo Hall, and it was less than two months, and I couldn't come out easily. ”

Cheng Yaojia said apologetically: "Senior brother, don't be sorry, I said that there is no need to bother." I'm sorry. I have heard from the master that the real reason why you were punished was because of the incident in Lujiazhuang, which was caused by me. ”

Yin Zhiping couldn't help but shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the matter with you, junior sister, don't you always abuse good people, can't you?" I did something wrong under the impulse that day, and it is natural to be punished, and it really has nothing to do with you." You're all a victim, and there's nothing wrong with you, so don't do anything to you, okay?"

Cheng Yaojia lowered his head and snorted for a long time. He said in a sneering voice: "But this matter is always related to me, and I still feel sorry for you, Senior Brother Yin." ”

Yin Zhiping sighed helplessly: "Okay, if you can't stop it, you can't stop it, I'll go first." "Say it. Then you have to turn around and walk.

Cheng Yaojia hurriedly shouted, "Senior Brother Yin, you wait." ”

"Senior sister, what's the matter?" Yin Zhiping asked helplessly.

Cheng Yaojia said: "I, I don't know how to compensate my senior brother?"

Yin Zhiping wanted to say, "Why don't you let me push it down!" but he didn't say it. just sighed: "It really has nothing to do with you, what do you want to compensate for?"

Cheng Yaojia said: "But I ......"

Yin Zhiping interrupted: "Okay." If you really don't want to go, then you owe it first. I'll tell you when I'm ready. ”

Cheng Yaojia agreed to leave.

Yin Zhiping went to the dining hall for breakfast, and on the way back to the room, Yang Guo came over and said unjustly for him: "Master, I heard that you were punished, why, the ancestors are too unreasonable!"

He is a lay disciple and does not attend morning classes in the morning. Therefore, I didn't know it immediately on the spot, but I only learned about it after listening to a fourth-generation disciple who had a good relationship with Lu, and I immediately came to find it after knowing it.

Yin Zhiping said: "It is not allowed to criticize the ancestor. I didn't explain much to him, I just took him back to the room. When he returned to the room, he simply packed a few clothes, and Yang Guo accompanied him to Siguotang.

The temple is built on a lonely peak in the back mountain, the peak is not high, not big, but it stands alone, and is not connected with other places. The Siguo Hall on the peak is said to be a hall, but in fact, it is just a few houses built of bricks and stones, which are very simple, and there is no scenery on the peak. It is here that the disciple who is to be punished meditates without being disturbed and realizes the mistakes he has made. During the period of thinking, it is not allowed to easily descend this lonely peak, otherwise once it is discovered, it will be doubled.

Yin Zhiping came with a retreat mentality, looked around, but was quite satisfied. The conditions here are indeed quite difficult and simple, but they are also very quiet, and he is the only one on the entire lonely peak, which is very suitable for retreat.

After the arrangements were made, Yin Zhiping asked Yang Guo to go down the mountain without accompanying him. Yang Guo still said a few more words to him before leaving.

When Yang Guo left, he was alone and had nothing to do. Yin Zhiping lay on the bed for a while, thinking a lot of nonsense, and then put away his distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

Not far from this lonely peak, there is also a secret room in the back mountain that is specially used for retreat. At this time, in a retreat room, Zhao Zhijing was sitting cross-legged in it, but he was also in retreat. And unlike Yin Zhiping, who is called Si Guo, which is actually a retreat, he is in retreat, and he also comes in the name of retreat.

At this time, he sat cross-legged, but he was not practicing, but frowned deeply, looking down at the stack of handwritten manuscripts on the ground in front of him. On the first page of the manuscript, there are four specially written headings, which are the four characters of "Sunflower Treasure Book", followed by a slightly smaller line, which is the eight characters of "If you want to practice divine skills, swing a sword from the palace". Moreover, the font is quite different from the one used by the contemporaries, and it is somewhat plausible, and it seems to be a simplified word according to the current word.

This is when he was ordered to go down the mountain to find Yin Zhiping, he once got lost and walked to a deserted mountain, and then came from a "sunflower cave". At first, he thought that he had encountered an adventure and obtained the legacy of his predecessors, and he was very happy, but when he saw the practice of "wanting to practice divine skills, wielding a knife from the palace", he couldn't help but be poured a basin of cold water on his head.

But looking at the engraved content, he feels that it is quite profound and difficult to understand, and some of the places that he can understand are unfathomable, expounding many profound truths in martial arts, which is really a superior martial arts. He couldn't bear to give up, and he didn't dare to try and practice at will, so he first copied it as it was, and then destroyed the hole carving.

Looking at this "Sunflower Treasure Book" now, he is struggling with whether to practice or not. (To be continued.) )

PS: Well, not in advance, it's late again.

Why have I recently become a late-night party??? I must resolutely change it tomorrow.

Thank you for the monthly votes cast by the three book friends of the Voice of Invitation, My Heart is Mortal, and the Holy Light Flashes.
