While Zhan Chen and others were trapped in the Magic Cave, the news of their disappearance also caused an uproar in the Linghe Sect. The first place where the incident occurred was Yunwo Town. When Li Qiong and Chen Junlan discovered that a month later, Zhuang
Xiaodie and others haven't come back yet, so they all panicked. They asked for leave from Disciple Pavilion and searched for them along the way, but how could they find any clues?
After returning, the two of them had to report the situation to the elder Xu Jianye. Since Zhuang Xiaodie was the daughter of the sect leader, Xu Jianye felt that the matter was important, so he temporarily suppressed it and mobilized more disciples to find the four people. However,
All to no avail.
Seeing time passing day by day, by the second month, Xu Jianye felt that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he had to report it to the clan. After Zhuang Weiye learned of the incident, he loved his daughter eagerly, put aside the clan affairs, and met Zhuang Xiaodie's mother Lan Cui.
Ping came to Yunwo Town together to wait for his daughter. At this time, he chose to be a father rather than a clan leader.
Let’s say that the couple climbed high and looked far away every day, looking forward to welcoming their daughter back for nearly three months. On this day, they finally saw three black dots appearing in their field of vision, flying towards Yunwo Town.
.
Zhuang Weiye had the cultivation level of Immortal Yuan Dzogchen. He was the first to see the situation clearly. He was extremely happy and excited and shouted to his wife Lan Cuiping: That is our Die'er, Die'er is back.
Lan Cuiping couldn't believe her ears for a moment. After all, after three months of waiting, her hopes turned into disappointment several times, so this time she waited a little longer and was happy to see that it was really her daughter.
Welcome him.
When Zhuang Xiaodie saw her mother, she rushed forward, hugged Lan Cuiping tightly, and called out: "Mother"
The mother and daughter exchanged greetings, which moved everyone watching, especially people like Zhan Chen who had lost their parents long ago.
At this time, Zhuang Weiye stepped forward, his face was very stern, and he seemed to have restored the majesty of the leader of the sect. He asked Zhuang Xiaodie, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen: What is going on with you? Why are you so late?
Come back, where is Chen Ruping?
Zhan Chen was about to step forward to answer, but Zhuang Xiaodie broke away from his mother's arms first, came to his father, and shouted: Dad.
what's it called
metropolitan.
Tell me what happened
After it was all because of me, Zhuang Xiaodie told the whole story of the incident, without hiding anything.
Zhan Chen and Li Junchen had nothing to say, because if we really wanted to investigate the culpability, it must be Senior Sister Zhuang's fault, if it was also wrong to save people.
After learning the whole story, Zhuang Weiye snorted coldly: "I'll settle the accounts with you when I get back. Come with me now."
Lao Zhuang, what are you doing? Do you really want to be ruthless to your daughter? Lan Cuiping stood up to protect her daughter.
Zhuang Weiye scolded: It's all because of your pampering that led to such serious consequences. She was almost dead this time. How long are you going to protect her? It's because we indulge her in everything, so every time
Zongli assigned her tasks, but always went wrong. This caused such a bad reputation for Zongli. I must punish her today, and I must punish her severely to serve as a warning to others.
After that, even though Lan Cuiping tried her best, she could not make her husband change his mind.
When several people returned to the sect, Zhuang Weiye kept his word and made a fuss about it. He immediately convened a temporary elders' meeting and asked Zhuang Xiaodie, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen to make statements on the matter respectively. They also discussed with the elders and finally made a fuss about it.
Three people were punished.
First of all, Zhuang Weiye said to Zhuang Xiaodie: Zhuang Xiaodie, you have to bear the main responsibility for this incident. I will punish you to go to Xuanjian Cliff and face the wall to think about it for fifty years.
Why? Li Junchen looked at Zhuang Xiaodie in shock.
Zhan Chen didn't know what kind of place this cliff was, but looking at Li Junchen, he knew that this cliff wouldn't be a good place to go. Moreover, Zhuang Xiaodie was going to stay there for fifty years, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Become worried.
However, Zhuang Weiye immediately called him again: Zhan Chen Li Junchen, although you two do not need to bear the main responsibility, you must still be punished. You will be punished as obligatory disciples in the sect for twenty years. The three of you have done something to the sect.
The punishment is convincing
The disciple is convinced. Zhuang Xiaodie was the first to answer. Zhan Chen and Li Junchen also had to answer: The disciple is convinced.
Just be convinced and execute immediately. Zhuang Weiye said mercilessly. At the same time, he turned to an elder named Hong Xu and said: Hong Xu, you are currently in charge of the disciple hall.
Yes, Hong Xu answered with his hands raised.
Then, I will leave it to you to arrange the duties of Zhan Chen and Li Junchen.
yes
Hong Xu stood up, came to Zhan Chen and Li Junzhan, and said to them: Come with me.
The two of them followed him out of the hall with an uneasy feeling and came to Hong Xu's elder lounge in the disciple hall. After Hong Xu sat down, he smiled at the two of them and said: Zhan Chen Li Junchen, although the sect leader said that you will be punished.
, but this kind of punishment is only the lightest. The sect leader still values you very much, and privately told me to give you some appropriate care.
Thank you, Elder Hong said.
Okay, here is a list of duty-keeping tasks. The two of you take a look at it first, choose the one that suits you best, and deal with it casually. Twenty years can be said quickly, and it has passed in the blink of an eye. Hong Xu said as he handed it over
Two people each make a list.
After taking the list, Li Junchen scanned it a little and quickly made his choice. He said: I have chosen, I want to go to Chuan Gong Pavilion.
Hong Xu nodded and said: Well, Chuan Gong Pavilion is a good place. Although you can't get Taoist skills, there are many miscellaneous notes on cultivating immortals there, which can enrich your knowledge. I used to be a guard there when I was an inner disciple.
Professional disciple.
Zhan Chen did not choose immediately, but looked at the list carefully and found that one of the items was the medicine boy who served as the elder Yan Yan of Lingyan Pavilion. He couldn't help but thought: Isn't Yan Yan the master of alchemy in our sect?
I seem to have heard that Elder Yan is very good at refining alchemy and refining weapons.
He is the only elder in the sect who can refine low-grade immortal elixirs. When I first entered the Linghe Sect, I actually wanted to become his disciple. Unfortunately, I heard that Yan Yan never accepted disciples, so I had to
Give up, now there is a drug boy position here, isn't it a God-given opportunity?
When he thought of the immortal-level elixirs, Zhan Chen was filled with ecstasy. Let alone the immortal-level elixirs, he had never seen even the top-level ninth-level elixirs, and the elder named Yan Yan definitely had them in his hands.
There are many such elixirs. If you were under his command, you might have a chance to get a few of them, which would make your cultivation speed increase exponentially again.
Having made up his mind, Zhan Chen said to Hong Xu: Elder Hong, I have thought about it. I want to go to Lingyan Pavilion to work as a medicine boy for Elder Yan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of Hong Xu and Li Junchen changed.
Zhan Chen saw their strange expressions and asked: Is there any problem?
Hong Xu said: Zhan Chen, I advise you to think about it again.
What's wrong
The position of this medicine boy is quite thankless. Not only does he have to stay in the alchemy room all day doing odd jobs and taking care of the elixirs, but he is also often scolded by the old man Yan Yan.
Is Elder Yan difficult to deal with?
Not only is it difficult, but it is also very difficult. He has a hot temper, is arrogant, loves to scold people at every turn, and will hurt others when he doesn't like him. Several disciples could not stand him and escaped from Lingyan Pavilion. So
This position of drug boy will be vacant for a long time.
Zhan Chen could tell that even Hong Xu was quite dissatisfied with this colleague. It must be that Yan Yan was really difficult to get close to, but this was also a rare opportunity. In order to improve his alchemy skills, in order to obtain high-level elixirs
He wanted to give the medicine a try no matter what, so he smiled and said: Elder Hong, thank you for your concern, but I still want to give it a try.
Zhan Chen, have you thought about it?
Think about it
"Okay then, I'll go through the procedures for you. You can report to Yanxia Peak in three days," Hong Xu sighed.
After coming out of the disciple hall, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen returned to Bijian Peak and went to Mei Qing to say hello. They found that Li Qiong and Chen Junlan were both there, but there was just a hint of desertedness in the hall.
After the two of them came forward to chat with the three girls, they heard Mei Qing shake her head and sigh: Hey, Zhuang Xiaodie is doing this on her own. I have repeatedly warned her before not to worry about anything, but she just didn't listen.
Went in and now finally got a go to Hanging Sword
The fate that Ya Mian Bi thought about was relatively light. I hope she can learn some lessons from this incident and not do it again. If she does it again, she may lose her life next time. It's just a pity that Chen Ruping fell into the hands of the demon cultivator.
I'm afraid it's more bad than good
After listening to her words, several people looked sad and were silent for a while. After all, they have been in the same school for so many years, and there is always friendship.
However, Zhan Chen's impression of Chen Ruping was relatively shallow, and he quickly recovered and asked: By the way, where exactly is Xuanjian Cliff?
Mei Qing answered: Xuanjian Cliff is an isolated peak more than fifty miles away, and it is also a deserted place. There is no life there, only hard rocks, and strong winds blow all year round, making people uneasy.
It is difficult to enter the state of cultivation. It has always been a place used by the sect to punish disciples who have made serious mistakes.
So for Senior Sister Zhuang, wouldn't these fifty years be a delay? Zhan Chen asked worriedly.
Mei Qing shook her head and said: Not necessarily. If Zhuang Xiaodie can bear the crime, then Xuanjian Cliff can be regarded as a good place to temper his will. According to statistics, after the disciples who were punished there came out, their cultivation level improved.
On the contrary, they have made rapid progress, but Zhuang Xiaodie has been suffering in these years.
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he finally understood Zhuang Weiye's good intentions.
Okay, I am an elder in the sect and it is not convenient for me to visit Zhuang Xiaodie. You guys will go to Xuanjian Cliff tomorrow and visit Zhuang Xiaodie for me. Mei Qing said again.
It’s master, we would have done it even if you didn’t tell us. Li Qiong replied.
Early the next morning, Zhan Chen and four other people gathered under the cliff and prepared to go up the mountain to visit Zhuang Xiaodie who was already being punished.
