Each group of disciples from Catching Tower came to Zuowang Peak.
First, we discussed with Jin Zhixiu and heard what Jin Zhixiu said.
Several disciples became furious and took Zhang Kezuna away directly.
Some other disciples went around to inquire about the news.
Wuziyuan.
Ye Zhengqing is discussing with Liu Zhisao and others how to get in touch with Zhang Ke.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then the door was pushed open forcefully.
"Oh no!"
Sang Mu's face was full of panic, and he rushed in panting.
Ye Zhengqing frowned and said, "Don't panic! Sit down and talk!"
Sang Mu stamped his feet anxiously.
"Oh! Why are you still sitting here! Senior Brother Zhang was taken away by people from the Shanmen!"
Ye Zhengqing was startled and stood up immediately.
"what happened?"
Sang Mu didn't care about the number of people in the room and directly revealed the news he had received.
"I heard from Mr. He from the Affairs Hall that Senior Brother Zhang insisted on going his own way, which resulted in many casualties among Taoist disciples."
"He is the main culprit. I'm afraid something is going to happen!"
Ye Zhengqing calmed down and asked, "Where are Zhao Dahai and Cao Yuxuan?"
In the past few days, they have also inquired about it.
Something happened to both Gengziyuan and Xinziyuan.
Sang Mu shouted angrily: "The Office of Affairs has put all the blame on Senior Brother Zhang."
"Not only do these two people have no faults, they also contributed to saving the disciples!"
As soon as this statement came out, the disciples who were discussing matters in the room were furious.
They all cursed.
Ye Zhengqing waved his hand and said: "Don't panic!"
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Zhang is in trouble this time, everyone has to reach out! You do as I say!"
Wait until he has arranged the things properly.
Said: "I'll go to the wind catching platform first! Sang Mu and Liu Zhinao, you two, quickly deliver the things you have prepared in the past few days!"
"be quick!"
Sang Mu blurted out and asked: "Elder brother! What are you going to do?"
Ye Zhengqing turned his head and said with a smile: "We will know in the future!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After leaving Wuziyuan, he used his body skills and quickly rushed towards Zhonggu Mountain.
Don't look at him being extremely calm in front of all his junior fellow apprentices.
In fact, he was extremely anxious at the moment.
He took over the task of felling yellow cedar trees, but it was Zhang Ke who was specifically responsible.
Now that Zhang Ke is implicated because of this incident, how can he feel at peace in his heart?
He has made up his mind and will give everything he has.
We also need to rescue Zhang Ke.
Now that my junior brother has been arrested and taken away by Fengtai, there is no time to lose.
Once this matter is determined, it will be difficult for Junior Brother to overturn the verdict.
Now, after much thought, there is only one way.
"Dengwen Drum"
This is a place specially set up by the sect to imitate the secular world.
Any disciple who thinks he has been wronged can sound this drum.
However, this drum cannot be beaten lightly.
First of all, anyone who sounds this drum will be whipped for one round regardless of the reason.
Second, if it is proven that it is not an unjust case, he will be guilty of the same crime as the criminal!
Therefore, although the "Dengwen Drum" system has been established for hundreds of years.
But few disciples would ring the bell.
Ye Zhengqing was also forced to have no choice but to make this decision.
Not long after, we arrived at the Bell and Drum Mountain, the Wind Catcher Tower, and the entrance to the Haezhi Hall.
At the entrance of Haechi Hall, two stone statues of Haechi mythical beasts lie on the left and right.
Staring at every disciple who came in and out, he glared and bared his teeth.
There is a stone platform next to it.
On a dozen steps, a large leather drum with a diameter of more than three meters stands beside it.
Ye Zhengqing took a few steps to the drum and swallowed.
He picked up a pair of drumsticks and took a breath.
"Hey!"
He used all his strength to hit the drum head.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Continuous, thunderous drum sounds resounded throughout the world.
At this moment, even some of the soul masters in the mountain gate were alarmed.
At the same time, in the Haezhi Hall of the Catching Platform, each team reported the investigation status to Master Chongxiao.
Master Hanshuang summarized the situation of each group and said: "Report to the commander! After investigation, a total of nine Taoist temples participated in this Huangshan wood service mission."
"The total number of participants is 641, and most of them are participating as individuals!"
“The other three courtyards, Wu Ziyuan, Geng Ziyuan, and Xin Ziyuan, have the largest number of participants!”
Master Chongxiao snorted and said, "What's the loss?"
"Ten people died in Wuziyuan, thirty-seven people died in Gengziyuan, and seventy people died in Xinziyuan!"
Chong Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Who is leading the team?"
"Zhang Ke from the Wu-ziyuan, Cao Yuxuan from the Geng-ziyuan, and Zhao Dahai from the Xin-ziyuan!"
"Seize these three people and have them interrogated by the Wind Catcher, the Discipline Academy, and the Presbyterian Church tomorrow!"
"yes!"
After several days of recovery, Zhang Ke recovered from his injury.
Although the injuries during this mission were not minor, the rewards were huge.
Especially the forward and retreat attacks within a small space are quite enlightening.
I was practicing boxing indoors when the door creaked!
The two deacon disciples opened the door and walked in without knocking.
He said seriously with a straight face: "Junior Brother Zhang! Master Chongxiao has an order to go to the Wind Catcher Tower for investigation. Let's go!!"
Zhang Ke's eyes narrowed and he said: "Okay!"
He simply organized his luggage, put his backpack on the bedside, and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them came to the storm platform.
This is a unique building.
It is embedded in the mountainside of Zhonggu Mountain and cannot be seen inside.
From the entrance, the whole building is built with blue stones.
It is square and square, with lines all over the bluestone, and shimmering light from time to time.
The entrance gate is 5 meters wide and 4 meters high. It is made of fine iron and has stone lions standing on both sides of the door.
When Zhang Ke walked in, he always felt that the stone lion's eyes were turning to follow him.
I couldn't help but take a few steps.
Entering the Haezhi Hall, I saw three people sitting at the head of the hall, each with a majestic and dignified appearance.
There were many deacons and disciples wearing black robes standing on both sides.
Zhang Ke saw Cao Yuxuan and Zhao Dahai standing in the hall with their hands down!
Master Chongxiao said: "Now that everyone has arrived, let's begin! Junior Brother Hanshuang is conducting questioning!"
"yes!"
Master Hanshuang first introduced the situation, highlighting the losses of the Taoist disciples.
Then he asked: "Is what I said true? I'll wait for your reply!"
Cao Yuxuan took a step forward and said: "What the real person said is the truth, and the disciples dare not question it."
"I'm just asking, if I make a mistake this time, how are you going to punish me?"
"I hope the real person will say it clearly!"
Master Hanshuang said: "Due to your mistakes, your fellow disciples were injured or killed."
"The commandments within the sect: Twenty strikes with a stick are required to expel you from the Taoist Academy!"
Zhang Ke and the others were shocked.
Zhao Dahai couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "I just heard what the real person said, and I am not at fault."
"It was actually caused by an accident. Why are we being treated like this? My disciples are not convinced!"
Zhang Ke also said: "I dare to ask the real person, if the real person was in my situation at that time, would there be a solution?"
Master Chongxiao roared angrily: "Bold!"
The second word exited, the sound shook the roof tiles, and echoes filled the empty hall.
Zhang Ke's face turned pale and he remained silent.
Master Chongxiao said: "This situation is special, I allow you to just argue!"
"We will deal with it carefully as to how to punish it! If you don't accept it, then speak out!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Yuxuan said: "Thank you, Master!"
Cao Yuxuan said: "Zhenren Rong: This mission is to issue a mission for Lotus Peak, and you will be rewarded with Linggu."
"Linggu has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the vitality."
"So I waited for the Taoist disciples to accept the mission because they were greedy for the spiritual grain reward, but..."
Cao Yuxuan said seriously: "Although this disciple is greedy for spiritual valley, it is not for personal selfishness."
"You real person needs to know that thanks to the love of the disciples of the Taoist Academy, I was elected as the senior brother of the Gengzi Academy. Why?"
"It's just because the Taoist temple has an unwritten rule."
"The senior brother of the Mortal Academy must awaken his innate supernatural powers, only in this way can he be convincing."
"The disciple awakened his supernatural power at the age of fourteen: "Six Ding Mountain Creation Technique"!"
"And the family will send me a hundred catties of spiritual grain every year. The disciple's body has been polished and solid, and he is just waiting for the Taoist entrance examination."
"It's just that many of the disciples in our academy need spiritual grain to refine their bodies."
"That's why the disciples have organized and completed their service. I hope that in the future they can add more talented people to our Qi Sect."
"And that's when the soul-dispersing wind came."
"When the disciple discovers that something is wrong, he immediately informs his fellow disciples to take shelter. Otherwise, no one may be able to survive."
After he bowed and stepped back, Master Chongxiao and others could not help but nod their heads after listening.
Master Hanshuang said: "Zhang Ke, Zhao Dahai, can you two argue?"
Zhao Dahai said: "My disciple, Senior Brother Xin Ziyuan, awakened his magical power at the age of sixteen: "Throw mountains and shoot rocks"! The rest is the same as Senior Brother Cao!"
Master Hanshuang smiled: "That's right! The two of you were able to rescue our fellow disciples in times of crisis, which is indeed a great contribution!"
"Jin Zhixiu of the Affairs Hall also told the patrolling disciples about this matter, and greatly appreciated the actions of the two of you!"
Having said this, his face suddenly darkened.
He said sternly to Zhang Ke: "Zhang Ke!"
Zhang Ke was shocked: "The disciple is here!"
"The Office of Affairs says that for your own selfish desires, you insist on going your own way, bewitching, and inciting your fellow sect members to serve."
"As a result, many Taoist disciples were killed and injured. Do you know your guilt?"
Zhang Ke's mouth was bitter and his mind was racing. He took a step forward and was about to explain.
Master Hanshuang continued: "The sect has an order: Remove your status as a disciple of the Taoist Academy and strike twenty times with the stick! Expelled from the Taoist Academy!"
"Come here! Bring Zhang Ke down here!"
Someone on the left and right responded and stepped forward to take Zhang Ke down.
Zhao Dahai and Cao Yuxuan looked at each other and saw the luck in each other's eyes.
Zhang Ke shouted: "Disciple is not convinced!"
Master Hanshuang ignored it and waved his hand, ordering the deacon disciples to take action.
Master Chongxiao suddenly said: "Slow down!"
The two disciples let go of Zhang Ke.
Master Chongxiao asked: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
Zhang Kedao: "My disciple led the team and ten people died, why only me was punished severely!"
Master Chongxiao turned around and said: "Well! That makes sense! Junior Brother Hanshuang! Why is this?"
Master Hanshuang said: "Jin Zhixiu of Zuowangfeng Shishitang once said: Zhang Ke held his fellow disciples hostage for his own selfish desires!"
"Zhao Dahai and Cao Yuxuan did it to help their fellow disciples, so naturally the punishments vary."
Master Chongxiao nodded and said: "This is the right reason! If this is the case, then..."
Sudden.
"Boom!"
"Dong dong dong dong!"
A thunderous drum beat sounded.
The tea bowl on the table in the Haezhi Palace was shaken and made a clattering sound.
Everyone's expressions changed instantly.
This is
"Dengwengu!"
After decades, someone actually sounded the "Dengwen Drum"!
Suddenly, Master Chongxiao waved his hand, and a disciple hurriedly walked out of the hall.
After a while, two people came in from outside the hall, carrying something.
Zhang Ke didn't dare to look back.
I only heard someone say: "Disciple Wu Ziyuan Ye Zhengqing (Liu Zhisao) pays homage to all of you!"
