After hearing the disciple's report, Yan Li, who was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, almost choked himself. He swallowed the tea in his mouth, raised his hand to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth, widened his eyes and asked: "What did you say?
"
Guan Qingya, who was talking to his master Yan Li on the side, was stunned. The master and apprentice were talking about the arrest of Yuan Gang in the thatched cottage, when suddenly Niu Youdao came back. What a coincidence.
The joke was a bit too big.
The disciple was stunned for a moment and explained again, "Elder Niu Youdao is back and is waiting for the leader outside the meeting hall."
Yan Li suddenly stood up and said angrily: "That's nonsense! Just count it on your own fingers. How could Niu Youdao have come back just a few days after leaving the sect? Is the Holy Land a place where he comes and goes?"
The disciple was scolded and frowned, and explained sadly: "Master, you can't be wrong. It is indeed Niu Youdao who has come back. After I received the message from the disciple on duty outside the meeting hall, I didn't believe it, so I rushed to take a look.
, Yes, it is really Elder Niu. Of course, the clothes he is wearing are a bit weird, but the appearance and demeanor of his words and deeds are indeed Elder Niu himself without a doubt!"
Confirmed so clearly, Yan Li swallowed dryly, feeling like hairs were rising on his body, and his breathing was a little disordered. He muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How could he come back at this time? Did he know that something happened?
…That’s not right, the time doesn’t match.”
Guan Qingya tried to ask, "Master, will he cause trouble?"
Although he had been reminded by Yan Li before, the words in his ears and his real personal experience were two different things. Although he was a little scared before, he was not too worried. The sect had its own rules and he did not believe in Niu Youdao.
Dare to act recklessly. To put it bluntly, he has not realized the seriousness of the situation.
The truth of some things is not easy for too many people to know. Yan Li calmed down and waved his hand to the disciple who reported the news to retreat first, and then said to Guan Qingya: "Don't show your face now, find a place to hide first, so as not to
If you fall into Niu Youdao's anger, it won't be too late to wait until his anger has passed."
Guan Qingya hesitated and said: "Master, what's the matter? The sect's rules are beyond the pale, can he still be unreasonable?"
Yan Li glared at him, raised his finger and pointed at his nose to reprimand, "Do you understand him, or do I understand him? I told you that Yuan Gang's relationship with him is unusual. He hurt Yuan Gang like that, and also hurt Yuan Gang.
Gang was arrested, and you slapped Guan Fangyi with your own hands. That grandson will definitely be furious. It would be strange if he didn't settle the score with you! You idiot, when is it bad to cause trouble? The matter of training in the Holy Realm has not been settled yet.
Qing, you are just causing this trouble for yourself. If you don't hide now, do you really want to wait for him to peel off your skin? Let alone peeling off your skin, he is so angry right now that he may kill you directly!
"
Guan Qingya didn't understand, "Master, with the sect's rules, how can he still be so lawless? I don't believe that the dignified Zijin Cave can let him be so arrogant!"
He felt a little dissatisfied and felt that the master was too cowardly. After all, you are also the elder of Zijindong and the direct confidant of the leader. Can you be so afraid of Niu Youdao? When he heard that Niu Youdao was back, you were so scared.
, if outsiders know about it, it will make a joke and make all the disciples below lose face.
"Rules? Rules also depend on the person!" Yan Li almost yelled, "You tell him the rules? Are the rules in Zijin Cave or Piaomiao Pavilion more important? Don't you know what he has done? He killed someone in Tiangu
The elders of the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom could not take the rules of the Piaomiao Pavilion seriously under the noses of the Piaomiao Pavilion. Even the rules of the Piaomiao Pavilion could not control him. Can the rules of the Zijin Cave scare him? That guy is better than you.
It's even trickier to imagine. You still haven't taken it seriously, and everything I've said to you has just fallen on deaf ears."
When he mentioned the killing of the elders of the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom in Tiangu, it was really too outrageous to think about it. It was better not to think about it. When he thought of it and associated it with the incident in front of him, Guan Qingya's heart "thumped". Being hit by such harsh words,
It can be said that I was completely awakened, and I was really scared. In addition, Niu Youdao really came back, his face changed drastically, he was really panicked, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Yes, I know I was wrong, I will step aside now.
"
"Wait a minute!" Yan Li suddenly called him again, and reminded him in a low voice as he came closer: "As for those two witnesses, you'd better keep their mouths tightly shut. Once you say anything, people will know that you caused such trouble.
A big misunderstanding has come, and you are causing trouble. No one in Zijin Cave can protect you! You must let them two understand that if you dare to talk nonsense, even if you are unlucky, they will not have an easy time in Zijin Cave in the future.
, someone will let them know what life is worse than death, do you understand?"
"Yes! Disciple, I understand. I will go now. Does Master have any other instructions?" Guan Qingya was already flustered.
Yan Li only said one word, "Get out!"
"Yes!" Guan Qingya promised and ran away quickly.
Yan Li, who was standing there, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and quickly left, rushing to the direction of the meeting hall to see the situation.
The news of Niu Youdao's sudden return spread quickly. At least the relevant senior officials in charge of the sect knew the news immediately and rushed here quickly.
However, Niu Youdao, who was waiting outside, did not see them.
Niu Youdao, who was standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back, waited and waited but still didn't see Gong Lince show up. He felt suspicious, so he turned around and went up the steps.
Two gatekeepers outside the hall quickly reached out to stop him. One of them smiled and said, "Elder, wait a moment."
Niu Youdao raised his chin inward, "What's going on? Does it take so long to report the situation? Is the leader here? Can you just give me a nice word and don't let me wait outside?"
The man continued with an apologetic smile and said, "Elder, please be patient. The master is currently receiving guests. You may have to wait a moment."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said: "A guest who knows birds, what bird guest is more important than my return?"
This was a bit arrogant, but he was right. He didn't believe that anything else could be more important than him coming back from the Holy Land. Don't the people in Zijin Cave want to know what happened in the Holy Land?
Gong Lince's procrastination was a bit unreasonable. He was not ignorant. The slightest abnormality aroused his suspicion. After speaking, he rushed directly to the meeting hall.
Two disciples quickly stopped him again, and the other one said with an apologetic smile: "Elder Niu, the meeting hall houses the shrine of the founding father. You are not allowed to break in without official business, otherwise you will be suspected of blasphemy."
Niu Youdao: "Stop me? What do you mean? Are you saying that I don't do business?"
The man said: "Don't dare. But Elder Niu, you know the rules, so don't embarrass us."
Niu Youdao: "Tell me the rules? Is it your turn to tell me the rules? Are you the elder, or am I the elder? If you don't respect me, you don't respect me, the elder. How should I deal with you two according to the sect's rules? Who is your master?
, let him come to see me, I would like to ask your master, please, do you have any rules in this Zijin Cave?"
Isn't this nonsense? The man smiled bitterly and said: "Elder Niu, our duty lies here."
Niu Youdao: "Can I go inside and wait for the leader?"
The disciple said: "Elder Niu, this is really inappropriate."
"I said you two don't have hair, right? Are you blind or something? Why are you so sick? Get out of here, I'll take care of you if anything happens." Niu Youdao waved his hand and blocked the two of them.
He opened his arms and swaggered into the meeting hall, looking around in the hall with his hands behind his back.
The two disciples outside looked helpless. Naturally, they had heard about the incident in the Thatched Cottage and did not dare to argue about it. However, one of them quickly circled around from outside the hall and went inside to report. The other one was watching Niu You at the door.
Tao’s every move.
In the pavilion at the back of the palace, Gong Lince, who had not shown up for a long time, was there. He just didn't dare to show up to see Niu Youdao because of the incident in the thatched cottage.
When Yuan An arrived, Yan Li and others had already arrived one step ahead. Gong Lince sent people to intercept him halfway and led them in through the side door.
As soon as he saw Yan Li, Gong Lince felt angry in his stomach. He wanted to ask him, how do you control the people below you? When is it okay to cause trouble? But at this time, you actually cause trouble during the holy realm training. Isn't this adding chaos?
?
Some words can only be kept in the heart or privately with Yan Li, but cannot be said in public.
When everyone arrived, they met to discuss the matter in the thatched cottage, which was really a bit difficult to deal with.
It is easy to solve it. The best way is to click Niu Youdao and get rid of it directly, and then everything will be fine.
But it is not that simple. Not to mention other factors, Niu Youdao is the elder of Zijindong. It is impossible to kill an elder without any reason or any crime. Sect rules are not child's play.
Even if it is a young disciple below, it is impossible to kill him randomly for no reason.
There was really no solution, so another disciple came to report that Niu Youdao had forced his way into the meeting hall.
Seeing that he couldn't delay it any longer, Gong Lince sighed, "Sooner or later, we have to face it. Let's go and see what's going on. Why did we come back from the Holy Realm so soon?"
A group of people walked slowly and slowly towards the back door of the rear hall, passed through the rear hall and turned into the main hall. They immediately saw a man in red walking around the hall. Who else could it be if he wasn't Niu Youdao?
"Junior Brother Niu." Gong Lince, who came out in the lead, said hello with a smile.
Niu Youdao looked back, smiled and handed over his hands, "I've met the leader, I've met all the elders."
Without waiting for anyone to reply, he added meaningfully, "I waited outside for so long. Did something happen to the sect?"
Worried that his asking this would lead to a difficult reply, Gong Lince sighed: "Yucang and the heads of the three major sects of the Song Dynasty came, and they were delayed for a while. They were just sent away, leaving the junior brother waiting for a long time."
"Oh, it turns out that distinguished guests are here." Niu Youdao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said suspiciously: "What are they doing here at this time?"
"You went to the Holy Land. It's understandable that they have some ideas. You can probably guess it, so don't mention it." Gong Lince waved his hand, looked him up and down, and asked, "Why are you dressed in such a weird way?"
Niu Youdao sighed and said: "Forget it, the clothes issued in the Holy Realm are of no particular style at all. Not only me, but everyone who enters the Holy Realm has put on them."
"It doesn't look good." Gong Lince looked very concerned and suddenly said loudly: "Come here, go get some clothes for Elder Niu."
