Chapter 23: Folding the Wooden Sword in front of the Demon Suppressing Monument, Wuyuan Pavilion
"What's this?"
Lu Chen turned pale with fright and instinctively retreated.
Over the past hundreds of years, Qingyun Sect has experienced similar demonic invasions more than once. He thought that a powerful demonic clan had suddenly arrived.
"quiet!"
Xuanjizi looked at many people who were scared to retreat, and his face darkened.
I saw Xuanjizi raised his hand, and in the palm of his hand, a ball of awe-inspiring aura emerged. That aura of awe-inspiring energy climbed up to the top of his head and hovered on the demon-suppressing stele. The demon-suppressing stele gave that aura of awe-inspiring aura, the aura of a heroic spirit, and turned into wisps of light.
The light and radiance flew accurately towards every disciple in the martial arts field.
Plop.
Plop!
Several people around Gu Yusheng, including Lu Chen, seemed to be suddenly pressed by a heavy force on their shoulders. They fell to their knees and could no longer stand up.
Xuanjizi said solemnly: "The disciples who retreated just now are disqualified from entering the Book Collection Pavilion. You are only allowed to go to the Book Collection Pavilion in Lingxiao Peak to select exercises. Get out!"
After that, with a flick of their sleeves, those who had knelt on the ground regained their freedom as if they were relieved.
"Wait a minute, Master!"
Lu Zhan saw his son Lu Chen kneeling on the ground, his expression turned extremely ugly.
"No need to say more!"
Xuanjizi held the leader's order, his aura was completely different from the past, and his words were also mixed with majesty.
"Other disciples, immediately enter the library and choose a technique. Which technique you can choose depends on your own destiny. For the rest, don't ask too much and think too much."
"yes!"
Many disciples were overjoyed when they heard this, and some were secretly glad that they were not timid just now.
This library looks extremely mysterious and obviously does not belong to Qingyun Sect.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, no one wants to miss it.
"No!"
Lu Chen looked unwilling.
"Master, I didn't retreat!"
"Yeah, I didn't retreat either!"
Those who just knelt down and had the heroic spirit mark of the Demon Suppressing Monument on their bodies expressed their grievances with unwilling expressions.
Everyone knows that the Demon Suppressing Monument has condensed the blood of countless heroic souls and cannot lie.
Xuanjizi had a sneer on his face, pointed at the sword on the turtle's back in front of the demon-suppressing monument, and shouted sternly: "Stop, turn around and look at that sword. That's a coward who doesn't dare to draw his sword when encountering a demon clan and just runs away."
The sword left behind, that sword of shame that you see every day, hasn’t made you remember it? Remember, the name Gu Bai is the code name for a coward!"
When Xuanjizi said this, he seemed to think of something. His eyes wandered across the retreating crowd. He frowned slightly and withdrew his gaze, finally landing on the young man under the old locust tree.
The people he thought would be timid are still standing, while some people who were looking forward to it have been eliminated.
Xuanjizi felt inexplicably irritable. He took a step forward and said to the young man in front of everyone: "Gu Yusheng, have you ever remembered the sword of shame on the turtle's back?"
The library is right in front of you, but there are still many people's eyes on Gu Yusheng, watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal.
Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Yusheng did not answer Xuanjizi's question, but said calmly:
"Gu Bai, my father, he is not a coward. When he knew that there was a big monster outside and still walked out of Qingyun Gate to face it without hesitation, he was already a hero. His name should be on the monster-suppressing monument.
The sword is the sword of protection!"
Many people laughed at Gu Yusheng's words.
Xuanjizi also had a cold expression and said sarcastically: "Oh? You mean, what we did was wrong?"
"Hahaha!"
Heard the harsh laughter all around.
Gu Yusheng looked around and gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will prove it to you."
"Yeah?"
Xuanjizi had a sneer on his face and his eyes fell on the wooden sword at Gu Yusheng's waist. With a move of his fingers, the wooden sword at Gu Yusheng's waist fell into his palm.
"The proof you are talking about? Is it based on this sword?"
Xuan Jizi's voice suddenly rose, and with a movement of his fingers, Gu Yusheng's wooden sword was gently pinched by him, and with a click, the wooden sword broke from it.
The young man's eyes were filled with pain and anger.
Xuanjizi raised the broken wooden sword high and turned his palm. The wooden sword fell in front of him and was stepped on by his feet.
The heart of the young man standing under the locust tree was bleeding.
He had never cared about the swords in Qingyun Sect, but the superior leader snatched away the worthless wooden sword in front of everyone, broke it, and trampled it under his feet.
This heartless and indifferent world.
Gu Yusheng held back his tears!
At this moment, the young man truly understood the cruelty of this world.
Since he was a child, he has heard that demons and ghosts are rampant, but the demons and ghosts have never hurt him in the slightest. He faces the world with an upward heart, but he is mercilessly stepped on by the cold and cold people in the dirt.
"No, it shouldn't be like this."
Gu Yusheng's voice was hoarse.
But now, who can hear his voice?
Even the wind was silent.
Xuanjizi still looked cold: "Gu Yusheng, I can give you a chance to tell everyone in front of everyone that your father is a coward. If you promise not to be like your father in the future, I will allow you to enter the library.
, in this library, there are holy land exercises that countless geniuses in the world yearn for, including earth-grade, heaven-grade, and divine-grade exercises. You only need to cultivate one, and you can become famous, how about it?"
"He's not!"
Gu Yusheng's eyes were bloodshot. In his eyes, Qingping Mountain looked so gloomy at the moment. It was no longer green mountains and green waters.
"snort."
Xuanjizi was furious.
"Qingyunmen Gu Yusheng, the following offenders will be expelled from now on..."
Before Xuanjizi finished speaking, an old voice appeared and took over Xuanjizi's last words: "He will be punished by planting three thousand peach trees. Within three years, he will not be able to obtain any sect contribution points and will not be allowed to leave Qingping Mountain!"
"Uncle Liu."
Xuanjizi handed over his hand to a slovenly old man and glanced at Gu Yusheng. He didn't understand why the sect's supreme elder would step in to protect a coward's son.
Liu Yuan walked quickly to Gu Yusheng and said: "What are you doing here? Follow me and plant peach trees. I know what you are thinking. Boy, you can't see the color of the sky because you haven't split the clouds."
Strength, when the day comes, your words will be the truth in the world."
After saying that, Liu Yuan waved his sleeve, and a breeze swept Gu Yusheng away.
"Get them all into the library!"
Xuan Jizi glanced around, and everyone including Chu Chen and others entered the library pavilion one after another.
The other elders had never seen their leader so angry before, and they didn't dare to express their anger. Lu Zhan, who originally wanted to fight for a chance for Lu Chen, could only remain silent and found a place to sit cross-legged, waiting for Qingyun.
The disciples of the sect came out of the library.
"Senior Brother Xiao."
Beside the Cloud Bridge, He Hongnian, who was wearing a solemn Taoist robe, stood side by side with the head of the Qingyun Sect, watching the clouds and mists rising over Qingping Mountain and the sea of clouds.
"Why do you have to criticize a twelve-year-old boy so harshly? Why should Gu Bai's fault be placed on Gu Yusheng? Every one of them will be judged accordingly. Back then, Gu Bai and I..."
Xuan Jizi suddenly turned around, stared at He Hongnian with a pair of eyes, looked bleak, and interrupted: "Junior sister He, I really don't understand what kind of magic power Gu Bai has. He is already dead, and you still speak for him.
To defend his son, can your Taoist robe really cut off the mortal world? Don’t forget, when he met that woman in Xianhuzhou, he never thought that you had been waiting for him in the wind and rain for a long time."
"It's all in the past. The past is like smoke. Senior Brother Xiao, you were not like this before. It's too cruel for you to treat that child like this today."
He Hongnian sighed.
Xuanjizi stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky, his expression gradually becoming indifferent.
"Junior Sister He, I am the leader, and the future of Qingyun Sect is in my hands. You have also seen that just the slightest movement of summoning the library made so many people subconsciously think that it was a monster invasion. If I don't
By doing this, how can we help the disciples of Qingyun Sect grow their memories?"
"Junior Sister He, you don't know, right? One month ago, the demon clan broke through the Shoujie Mountain. Tens of thousands of monks from the Xuanlong Dynasty died in the battle. Hundreds of thousands of monks escaped in the battle with the demon clan. Now, there are already countless demons.
The tribe is raging in the human territory, Qingping Prefecture, and there are not many peaceful days left."
Xuanji's executioners pinched each other tightly.
"For the sake of the human race, for the common people of the world, and for the people of the world, Gu Bai cannot appear in the Qingyun Sect again. If one day the great demon comes to Qingyun again, I will draw my sword without hesitation and die generously. This cruel world is filled with blood and wind and rain.
Qingyunmen, can't he be beaten for the rest of his life?"
He Hongnian also looked solemn.
"Senior brother, have we really reached this point?"
Xuanjizi was silent.
He Hong thought for a while and said: "Then you shouldn't break the boy's sword. That's almost all he thinks about."
After saying that, He Hongnian turned around and looked for the broken sword. She walked and stopped.
In the middle of the martial arts arena, there was a girl in white, bending down to carefully pick up the broken wooden sword.
A pair of bright eyes stared at the broken wooden sword, and his little mouth pursed, seeming very angry.
"Evening clouds."
"Ignore me."
The girl in white looked back, her face full of grievances.
"The world is so big. You can't kill demons to bring peace to the world, but you can only bully a person who only has a wooden sword. You are cowards."
He Hongnian stiffened and stood there for a long time.
After a long time, she sighed quietly, turned around and left.
Peach Blossom Forest.
The young man has been sitting under the eaves of the small courtyard for a long time.
The slovenly Liu Yuan appeared outside the fence, leaning on the bamboo, and said to the young man with lost eyes:
"Have you thought clearly? From today on, I will plant peach trees with you every day. I will teach you a skill. In a few decades, when you are able to slay demons and accumulate merits, and one day take charge of the Qingyun Sect, all justice will come.
At that time, what will today’s grievances mean?”
The young man stood up, looked at the sunset in the west, and said: "Decades are too long. Justice that is delayed is no longer justice."
"Ten years, then ten years."
Liu Yuan gestured with his fingers.
"Within ten years, I will teach you the ability to slay demons."
Gu Yusheng stared at the sky and said: "No, from now on, I want to learn how to kill people. I don't want to plant peach blossoms. One day, I want to kill all the peach blossoms in this mountain. If so, are you still willing to teach me?"
