Qi Lingyun, with her short legs, wanted to run to her father and act like a baby, to see if she could avoid punishment.
As a result, before she could run over, Qi Yuan glanced at her and said, "There's no point in acting coquettishly. You two, just go and stand by the wall."
"……yes."
Qi Lingyun pouted her pink and tender mouth and stood against the wall with He Ling'er, but they all opened their big watery eyes and looked at Qi Yuan with a pitiful look, which made Qi Yuan
He moved his butt a little uncomfortably.
However, he soon put on a majestic look, glared at them both fiercely, and shouted: "Turn around, face the wall and think about your fault."
"Hmph, bad daddy!"
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful had no effect, Qi Lingyun muttered dissatisfiedly, and had no choice but to obediently turn around and face the wall with He Ling'er.
However, these two little girls were also secretly winking at each other.
They have been with Qi Yuan for hundreds of years. Although their character has not yet matured, their minds are very sharp. They are also aware of some of Qi Yuan's habits. When they see him like this, they naturally know that he must be here again.
He is pretending to be majestic.
Qi Yi and others pretended not to hear the little girl's murmur, and sat upright, not daring to show any other expressions.
Qi Yuan coughed lightly, looked at the two disciples Deng Chanyu and Duan Lei, and said, "Tell me about your journey."
"Yes, Master."
Deng Chanyu then spoke and said: "This time, Junior Sister and Ling'er went to Dayezawa..."
She told Qi Yuan the story of her trip in detail, and if there was anything missing, Duan Lei was there to fill it in.
Finally, Deng Chanyu said: "Master, when we were fighting with the Red Flame Demon King, we also sensed two obscure eyes exploring us. They should be the two people from Lei Ze and Heze.
But they didn’t interfere in our fight, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Red Flame Demon King.”
"Um."
Qi Yuan nodded lightly: "Although we in Emei take slaying demons and subjugating demons as our own mission, our main purpose is to protect the human race, not to make enemies everywhere to hone our sword skills. We should ignore those alien races who have never done evil.
Among the Nine Zes, Lei Ze's thunder dragon is lazy by nature, doesn't like to go out, and is not nosy.
Moreover, although the dragon clan occupies many water veins, they do not violate the will of heaven. Many dragon clans even cause clouds and rain, which is actually quite good for the people everywhere.
Therefore, remember to warn your disciples in the future not to provoke the lawful dragon clan. Besides, my relationship with the dragon clan is not bad, so there is no need to antagonize the dragon clan.
Of course, if you really encounter an evil dragon that is causing trouble, you should do whatever you want. There is no need to worry about anything, because if a dragon really does evil, it is definitely not a direct descendant of the dragon. In all likelihood, it is evolved from other monsters.
He is a perfect demon dragon, otherwise he would not have so blatantly disobeyed the dragon clan’s orders.”
Qi Yi bowed and responded: "Master, don't worry, disciple."
"That's good."
Qi Yuan continued: "As for the lotus fairy in Heze, I have met her at the Yaochi Peach Fair, but I have never made friends with her.
I heard from Empress Shiji that this is an immortal who is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and he is devoted to cultivating alone and does not care about worldly affairs. In the future, if any disciples travel abroad, they should avoid these two swamps."
A long time ago, Qi Yuan asked his disciples to pay careful attention to all the forces they encountered along the way, whether they were monsters, monsters, sects or lay people in the monastic world. He would ask his disciples to record these.
Even for this purpose, a map was specially made that could transform most of the scenes in the Three Realms, with the various forces marked on it, and placed in the main hall of the sect's Sutra Collection Hall for the disciples to view.
This is to enhance the disciples' horizons and knowledge, and also to prevent them from accidentally intruding into the territory of some powerful forces and causing trouble when traveling abroad.
Although the records are definitely not comprehensive enough, and even the records for places outside Nanfanbuzhou are even more vague, the vast majority of disciples have never been outside Nanfanbuzhou, or even outside Kyushu. There are these records
, already very good.
After Qi Yuan understood what happened, he stopped discussing the matter and asked about other things.
Qi Yi reported what had happened to the sect recently, and then asked his master for some insights on how to break through Taiyi Xuanxian, and then left with Deng Chanyu and the others.
After Qi Yi and the others left, the cave suddenly became quiet.
The two little girls stood on the side of the cave, facing the stone wall and seemed to be very well-behaved. In fact, they were still winking secretly, conveying the happiness that only belonged to them as children.
"snort!"
Qi Yuan snorted lightly.
Although there was no emotion or anger to be heard, the two little girls who were winking at each other immediately calmed down.
Qi Yuan glanced at them and said angrily: "You two, come here."
Hearing this, the two little girls immediately turned around happily and ran over. Before Qi Yuan could refuse, they quickly climbed up the stone platform and came to his side. One pinched his legs and the other hit his shoulders, showing great courtesy to him.
Qi Yuan rolled his eyes, is that what I meant?
I asked you to come here to be punished, not to show your courtesy!
However, looking at the two little girls' cute and pleasing faces, he couldn't bear to drive them away again.
"well……"
He sighed helplessly: "You guys, remember not to go out at will anymore. I'm not letting you go out, but you two are still young and not very experienced in the world, so it's easy for something to happen.
Just like this time, Ling'er wants to go back to Ohnoze to have a look. It's okay, but you two shouldn't leave without saying hello. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I sent Chanyu and Duan Lei to follow you.
, maybe you won’t be able to come back.
Although it is said that you have become immortals and have some good practices, there are countless people in the Three Realms who are stronger than you. You must not act like this again in the future, do you understand?"
"knew."
The two little girls nodded obediently in agreement. Anyway, at this time, they would never refute anything Qi Yuan said.
As for whether they heard it and took it to heart, only they themselves know.
Qi Yuan had taken care of these two girls for hundreds of years, and his little thoughts on theirs were obvious at a glance, so he immediately said: "Since you have realized your mistake, I will give you a lighter punishment."
, go to a quiet room to retreat for three years, meditate on your own mistakes, and if you do it again in the future, you will not be leniently punished."
"ah?"
The two little girls were immediately dumbfounded.
Is this still a lighter punishment?
You must know that when Qi Yuan punished them in the past, the longest period of time was not more than a month. Now they are in seclusion for three years. Is this really a lighter punishment?
With their character, they have never been in seclusion for so long.
Qi Lingyun quickly begged for mercy: "Dad, we really know that we were wrong. Can you please not punish us in solitary confinement for so long?
And the reason why we went back to Ohnoze this time was because Sister Ling'er missed her fellow clan members too much. You don't know, those Linghes had a miserable life, and many of them were tortured to death by the subordinates of the Red Flame Demon King.
We finally defeated the Scarlet Flame Demon King and rescued those spirit cranes. If you punish us in seclusion for so long, those spirit cranes will definitely be worried if they can't see Sister Ling'er."
"Well, there is some truth to this."
Qi Yuan pretended to be thoughtful and touched his chin: "But, if you are not punished, what will happen if you secretly leave the mountain again in the future?"
When Qi Lingyun heard this, he quickly said: "No, dad, we must be obedient in the future!"
"Humph, you are the most disobedient person."
Qi Yuan couldn't help but hit her on the little head: "If you hadn't encouraged her from the side, how could Ling'er have followed you to do this nonsense?"
The little girl stretched out her white and tender little chubby hands to cover the place where her father had hit her, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't know Ohnozawa was so far away. I thought it was very close, so I just wanted to be with Sister Ling'er."
Go take a look and come back quickly."
"Ah……"
Qi Yuan chuckled helplessly. This girl occasionally went to the Sutra Collection Hall to cause trouble, but she didn't want to take a look at the map of the distribution of forces in the Three Realms?
Of course he would not lock these two little girls in a quiet room for three years. When their minds are not calm enough, it is not suitable for long-term retreat. Otherwise, not only will it not have any effect, but it will also easily make them lose their true nature.
.
The reason why the punishment is so serious is just to make them remember it. Otherwise, if there is no punishment at all, they may do it again in the future.
He touched his chin pretending to be in deep thought, and then said: "Those of Ling'er's compatriots have just arrived in Emei, and it is indeed inconvenient for you to be in seclusion for so long, but you must be punished.
So be it, then I will punish you to go to Chaotian Peak to open a stone staircase leading to the top, and come back when you finish."
"ah?"
The two little girls were stunned.
Chaotian Peak is as steep as a giant sword standing in the sky. It goes straight up and down. It is difficult for apes to climb and for birds to land. What is the use of opening a road on such a mountain?
So, Qi Lingyun asked: "Dad, why are you opening a road on Chaotian Peak? That peak is too steep, don't everyone fly up with swords?"
"Don't you think it would be quite special to open a stone staircase on that mountain peak?"
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "And it can also be used to test the character of the outer disciples to see if they dare to climb this mountain?"
Because swordsmen often have to fight with others, if you don't even have the courage to do so, then it's better not to practice swordsmanship.
Although the two little girls didn't understand what it would be like to open a stone step on Chaotian Peak, they didn't dare to refute it. Although it was a bit boring to open a stone step, it was much better than being locked in a training room and practicing hard.
.
With their Taoist cultivation and flying swords, they don't think this is a difficult task, it just takes time.
Qi Yuan warned again: "Remember to go to the House of Internal Affairs to find someone to help you plan it, otherwise if you open it up randomly, you might collapse the entire mountain peak."
This is really possible. The two of them don't understand this. Maybe when they are playful, their sword energy is too strong, and those rocks really can't withstand their sword energy.
Qi Yuan felt that maybe they should first place a ban on the mountain, and then have someone plan a path for them to open up stone steps.
"Okay, you go."
Qi Yuan waved his hand at them: "Ling'er, go check on your fellow tribesmen first. If you are really seriously injured and need any elixir, come and tell me."
"Thank you, sir."
He Ling'er nodded happily, and then was pulled out by Qi Lingyun.
