Many disciples in Canglan Sword Sect have been alerted and came over after hearing the news.
People from three floors inside and three outside gathered around outside the Sword Holding Building. They watched a dark coffin wrapped with red thread being carried in by a group of servants. They looked at each other wondering what was going on. Some who knew the inside story whispered to their familiar fellow disciples.
.
The young girl stood on tiptoes and looked anxiously outside, but she couldn't see anything. She had to stick to the corner, squeezed through the gap between the brothers and sisters, squeezed forward, and saw that in the hall, people from the Tianshi Mansion were already there.
Take a seat.
In addition to the group of people dressed as Taoist priests, there were also people from the palace sitting on the other side. There was a figure dressed as a palace eunuch with a solemn face, his hands on his knees, and his eyes were not looking directly.
The eunuch was actually a little uneasy. After all, the room was full of monks. If it weren't for the Tianshi Mansion, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a place to enter the Canglan Sword Gate when he came to the mountain.
He glanced around with his peripheral vision and saw the coffin being carried into the hall and put down in the hall by his subordinates. The eunuch took a deep breath. After all, he represented the imperial court and the emperor, so naturally he could not show his timidity. He stood up and raised his hands towards Xu Qingfeng, who was at the head of the table.
"Everyone in Canglan, our family is ordered by the emperor to escort the head of your family back to the mountain with the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion. Please also examine the body!"
Over there, Ru Yue clenched the corners of her sleeves, and Xu Qingfeng pursed his lips and nodded. Even though he knew at the foot of the mountain that the person lying in the coffin was his family leader, he felt uncomfortable being mentioned again now.
Not to mention being escorted by eunuchs from the palace, he must have done something to anger the current court. He suppressed his mood, stood up and came over. With a wave of his hand, the tight red thread on it broke with a few "snaps".
Taoist Master Minghui closed his eyes and turned his face to one side.
Xu Qingfeng looked at the coffin lid, but pushed it open little by little, revealing a pair of dusty steps. As the coffin lid turned sideways and fell to the ground, the full figure lying inside was revealed, with messy buns.
The old man in shabby clothes has a face as hot as gold, but his body shows no signs of decay.
But Xu Qingfeng could feel that his uncle was dead and that his three souls and seven souls were not in his body.
"What mistake did my head make? Xu wants to apologize to you all."
Saying that, Xu Qingfeng took two steps back, spread his sleeves, cupped his hands in a circle, and finally landed in front of Taoist Priest Minghui of Tianshi Mansion. The latter opened his eyes, sighed, stood up and went over to hold him up.
"Xu Jianshou, this matter has nothing to do with the Tianshi Mansion. It's just that the head of your family went to the capital to seek revenge and indulged in lawlessness, which harmed the people and made the court furious. As for how your head died.
, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you!”
What Ming Hui said did not need to be proved. The eunuchs and a group of servants sitting over there had already proved it. However, he did not say who killed Li Congyun, so Ming Hui wanted to end the matter there.
"I don't want to let the grudge last forever, so it's better to stop it here."
Seeing that the Taoist Priest of the Tianshi Mansion was not afraid of him at all, the eunuch over there felt confident and raised his face slightly: "Fellow Immortals, today our family has been ordered by the Emperor to escort your master back. In fact, there is another
one thing."
"What else is there!" Ruyue shouted loudly.
The eunuch was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He glanced at the Taoist Priest of Tianshi Mansion, coughed dryly, raised his sleeves and walked towards the north, raising his voice in a sharp voice.
"According to the order of the Emperor, Your Majesty said: Canglan Sword Gate maintains the gate of monasticism. The country is in danger and has not carried the sword to fight against foreign enemies. However, it harbors personal grudges and the capital is recklessly violating the law and causing harm to the people. It has no thoughts of transcending the world and no thoughts of family and country.
I am determined to take back the records of the Canglan Jianmen Mountain Gate, and charge it to close the mountain and repent of its mistakes. It is not allowed to recruit disciples from outside, and it is not allowed to go out of the mountain without orders. The land in the gate is temporarily occupied by the Canglan people. If it is violated again, the land will be taken back by the local government.
Everyone is dismissed and returned to their original places!"
After the words fell, both Xu Qingfeng and the others in the hall, as well as a group of disciples outside the sword-holding tower, were silent at first, and then the disciples outside the door started to make a noise.
"Kill our leader and drive us out!"
"What should I do?"
"Let's see what Uncle Xu said?"
Shanmen records are opened by the state government and reported to the court. Generally speaking, they will not be withdrawn without reason. The court will turn a blind eye no matter what they do.
To be taken back now is equivalent to killing the lifeblood of Canglan Sword Sect. Without new disciples, as time goes by and decades pass, the sect will only become more and more withered.
What's more important is that you can't go out of the mountains without orders, which means you either have to rely on outside vendors to sell things for daily life, and the rest can only be cultivated by yourself...
If you don't accept the imperial edict, you will only be cut off from the path of cultivation by the Tianshi Mansion and other sects. After all, how many pairs of eyes are watching. Once they do not respect the imperial order, they will be famous.
"Junior Brother Xu..."
Ruyue is a woman, and most of the things in the door are handled by Xu Qingfeng in front of her. Now that she heard the emperor's order, she couldn't help but look in front of her. Xu Qingfeng lowered his gaze and stared blankly at the old man who had been dead for two months in the coffin.
For a while, his cheeks bulged, he slowly raised his hand, and a low, hoarse voice came out from between his clenched teeth.
"Canglan Sword Sect accepts the emperor's order and is willing to accept the punishment!"
The eunuch nodded with satisfaction, took the imperial edict from his subordinate, and handed it to the other person. He immediately said with a smile: "The monk is a fairy-like figure in the world. Our family can see so many at once, and it feels like a shame in my heart."
Longing, but Jian Shou should also know that all the nine states in the world belong to your Majesty. You, the leader, are relying on your power to go to the capital to cause trouble. If your Majesty doesn't do something, it will be cruel to the people. How can you do it?
Be patient, maybe your majesty will return the records to you in the future?"
The eunuch smiled and spoke in a gentle and easy-going manner, but his soft words were like knives, piercing the hearts of everyone in Canglan Sword Sect. However, they could not do anything to him, so they could only eat the Coptis chinensis.
"Since Jianshou is willing to accept punishment, then let's take admission."
The eunuch stretched out his hand, Xu Qingfeng pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Ruyue in the west courtyard. The woman sighed, turned around and led the people away, went to the sword-holding tower, and came back not long after, with a document similar to a memorial in Su's hand.
, hesitantly handed it over to the eunuch.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha." The eunuch chuckled and touched the small characters of Canglan Sword Gate on the cover of the book, and the four big characters of 'Shanmen Records' in the middle.
Smiling, he put it into his sleeve and cupped his hand: "We have accepted the registration, so we went outside to wait."
Taoist Minghui, who had been silent for a long time, nodded and escorted them a few steps, and then turned around: "Everyone from Canglan, the Tianshi Mansion's task of escorting the imperial envoys has been completed. What is left is to ask where the Canglan Sword Sect will go next.
?”
Things have reached this point, and Ming Hui doesn't want to push the other party too much. After all, it was once a famous fairyland gate. Even if it declines, he should give the other party a chance to change his ways.
"Close the mountain gate and think and reflect!"
Hearing what Xu Qingfeng said, Taoist Master Minghui looked at the unconvinced disciples outside and nodded with a smile: "The sword head can say this, I am happy, and I hope that all the grievances of your sect will be settled today."
, I can rest peacefully in the mountains and think about my mistakes, and hope that I can build the Sword Sect again!"
"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Qingfeng cupped his hand.
"Farewell!"
"No!"
Taoist Master Ming Hui glanced at him, flicked his fly whisk, and strode out of the sword-holding tower with a group of fellow disciples. He met up with the eunuchs and officials waiting outside and went straight to the mountain gate.
"It's all gone."
Xu Qingfeng stood under the eaves of the sword-holding building, watching the disciples in the surrounding sects wave their wide sleeves, and the moment they returned to the hall, they closed the door.
"Junior brother, do we really have to do what the court says?"
Ruyue stood next to the coffin, looking at Li Congyun in the coffin. Even though she didn't like him in her heart, the punishment from the court had nothing to do with her likes and dislikes, and she was mostly unconvinced.
"If we don't do this, the surrounding famous sects may follow the Tianshi Mansion to accuse Jianmen. We..." Xu Qingfeng lifted the coffin lid from the ground and gently lowered the coffin, "...it will be even harder for us to deal with it."
He took a breath, closed the lid of the coffin, looked away, walked to a chair aside and sat down. He was quiet for a while, and then said: "Actually, this is fine. Uncle Master is surly, and no one in the door can restrain him. So if he breaks in,
When such a disaster comes and affects the sect, the punishment is considered light. Now that my uncle has passed away, it is a good thing to choose another sect leader to reorganize and teach the disciples in the sect with peace of mind."
"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other... Just listen to junior brother." Mrs. Ruyue had no better idea. Senior brother Dongyuan was struck by a thunderstorm and became a cripple. Her knowledge was much less than that of junior brother. "Junior brother,
Why don't you take the position of leader? Senior sister believes in you."
Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a long time, nodded, and reached out to hold the outstretched hand.
"I will certainly live up to Senior Sister's expectations."
