In the Zhuzhu Hall, not long after the bell rang for the second time, Sun Zhijie, wearing a Feiyun crown, a Tai Chi fairy dress, and a white jade ruler around his waist, with a dragon and tiger in auspicious shapes, smoke and clouds, walked in with a serious face, and sat on the table On the first futon.
During the last internal discussion, Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang finally reached a consensus not to pursue Liu He's impeachment of Wu Yi for the time being. He is still unhappy thinking about this matter.
If Ge Xuanlang, an old man like this, joins forces with me, how can there be an outsider like Wang Chuchen in charge of the internal affairs of the temple? It is true that people become more and more stupid as they get older. Sun Zhijie cursed in his heart and wished he could kick Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang out. In charge of the Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng.
After roughly estimating the time, Sun Zhijie glanced at the disciples below, and before the bell rang for the third time, he said, "Morning class starts today. Has everyone arrived today?"
It was originally just a casual question, and Sun Zhijie didn't expect anyone to answer it. He was known to be strict in front of his disciples. The new disciples would not dare to miss his class, while the older disciples would not dare to miss his class. Most of the people who come to his class have practiced the first four transformations to the extreme, but he doesn't care whether they come or not.
Unexpectedly, someone actually replied: "Reporting to the master, Wu Yi is missing among the new disciples."
Hearing this, Sun Zhijie's thick eyebrows on his temples stood up, and his anger could not be suppressed, "Huh, Shuzi, you dare to openly violate the rules in less than a month, I don't know what the deacon has done."
The combination of old and new grudges made Sun Zhijie furious on the spot, while the disciples either ignored the matter as it had nothing to do with themselves, or did not say a word because the matter involved the master in Guanzhong, and the hall was silent for a while.
After venting his anger for a while, Sun Zhijie suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to deal with Wu Yi's sins. At the same time, he could also take the opportunity to do something big and drag Wang Chuchen down with him. A trace of yin could not help but appear on his face.
When the disciples below saw the change in his expression, they pretended not to have seen it, except for one person, who was the one who exposed Wu Yi for not arriving.
"Liu He, you did a good job and dared to speak out. It's very good."
Yes, the person who exposed Wu Yi was the same Liu He who impeached Wu Yi before. If Wu Yi was present, he would definitely have discovered that this Liu He was the junior brother Liu who was beaten by another brother named Li Tian during the morning class. How could Wu Yi have thought that being a casual observer would cause him such trouble?
The morning class ended calmly, without even pretending to return a greeting to the disciples. Sun Zhijie took Liu He who had exposed Wu Yi's "illegal activities" and hurried to Wuxu Peak. Wuxu Peak was one of the three major temples in Guanzhong. Where the deacon lives, the three of them occupy such a huge mountain, so they decorate their home with great luxury, just like the palace of a prince on earth.
Sun Zhijie came to Li Gu's residence and called out: "Li Gu." Without waiting for the servant to enter, he rushed in.
Entering the door, there are corridors on both sides, and in the middle is a corridor, lined with several rocks and pots of flowers, including rich crabapples, delicate peach blossoms, blooming chrysanthemums, and elegant plum blossoms. Flowers bloom in different seasons at the same time.
However, Sun Zhijie had no intention of appreciating this. He rushed straight to Li Gu's practice room. At this time, Li Gu heard the noise outside and went out to check. When the two met, sparks flew in their eyes.
At this time, the strong men and servants in Li Gu's mansion rushed over and knelt down to apologize to Li Gu.
Li Gu waved his hands in disgust, and the servants and other servants left quickly as if they had been granted amnesty, leaving only a few strong men with round arms and thick waists to surround Sun Zhijie.
These warriors are not ordinary handymen who just deliver food like Lin Li and his son, but are chosen by the master to protect them, similar to being a Dharma protector.
Most monks are physically weak, and it takes time to cast spells. These warriors are responsible for buying time for the monks, even using their lives. Maybe they can't affect the situation of the battle, but they can delay the enemy for a moment, and this moment is enough for the monks to finish Fighting. This is why most monks are keen on raising warriors.
Li Gu put his hands behind his back, looked at Sun Zhijie coldly, and said calmly: "Sun Zhijie, if you don't give me an explanation today, even if you sue the temple master, I won't give up." In line with Li Gu's words, Li Shi also responded. They tightened the encirclement one after another, causing pressure on the momentum.
Liu He, who was slightly behind Sun Zhijie, couldn't help but fight with his two legs. Although these warriors were piled up with foreign objects, they were raised by Li Gu after all, and their momentum would not be faked. They were all at the peak of Qi refining, and he couldn't deal with any of them. , let alone swarming them.
When Sun Zhijie heard Li Gu's words, he laughed angrily, grabbed Liu He behind him with one hand, and said, "Come, tell us what happened with our dedicated deacon."
Li Gu raised his eyebrows and remained silent, watching with cold eyes what good show they were going to put on.
Liu He was a little tongue-tied as he recounted what happened this morning. In fact, the matter was not complicated, but after Sun Zhijie muddied the water, there was a risk of getting involved.
Li Gu nodded while listening. No matter how quarrelsome he was with Sun Zhijie, at least as the deacon of ceremonies, he still had to act fair and selfless on the outside.
After hearing the end, Li Gu said: "Even so, there is no need for me, Professor Sun Da, to go there in person. Is this because I am worried that Deacon Li's argument is unfair?"
Sun Zhijie wanted to reply that I came here in person because I didn’t believe you. However, he still smiled and said, "Aren’t you afraid of wronging the disciples? Besides, since the deacon is confident that his opinions are fair, he should make them public. It just so happens." Block Yuyou's mouth, you say yes or no."
Seeing Sun Zhijie's shameless side, Li Gu knew that he could not leave him no matter what. A few days ago, he had just used the authority of the deacon to suppress Sun Zhijie, and today he would be prepared to be punished in return. Besides, this is also a matter within the scope of his responsibilities, so he should make a trip.
Then he said to Sun Zhijie: "Well, you can go with me, but I will take charge of everything." Although he knew that Sun Zhijie would definitely intervene, Li Gu still mentioned it.
Seeing that the first step of his goal was achieved, Sun Zhijie didn't care whether he would abide by it or not, and agreed: "That's that." He was thinking about how to get Wu Yi to plead guilty and be punished.
Seeing his wandering eyes, Li Gu knew that he didn't take it to heart. He shook his head helplessly. He could only hope that Wu Yi would have a reason to explain the past, but also hoped that he could get over it.
In fact, Li Gu had a clear mind about why Wu Yi didn't come to morning classes. He started more than five months later than other disciples, and those professors no longer taught the most basic content. Instead of wasting time in class, he should It's better to explore on your own.
Just why was he bumped into by this guy? Li Gu couldn't help but sigh. If ordinary disciples violate laws and disciplines, such as Wu Yi's early morning class this time, he will not be distracted when he comes back to practice later. It is ridiculous to ask why one’s cultivation level does not increase. How can one’s cultivation level increase so easily? But if someone takes the issue that is usually not taken seriously by others, it will naturally be difficult to deal with it.
Li Gu and Sun Zhijie were each equipped with ceremonial chariots, high jade chariots, strong men and young servants, standing on both sides, either holding fans or weapons. When they encountered any idle people, they came in a row and scolded them.
This is the dignity of deacons and professors when they are on official duty. You must not be careless, otherwise you will be looked down upon by your disciples and lose face.
The group arrived at the foot of Lingxiu Peak in a mighty manner, with dust rising high.
Lingxiu Peak is so steep that ordinary people would be trembling with fear even if they were to walk up it. However, the warriors carrying the jade chariot were already very skilled and familiar with the way up the mountain, and their steps were as fast as flying, fast and steady, which is jaw-dropping.
Wu Yi lived at the top. Even so, the group of people climbed up steadily.
Seeing that the door of Wu Yi's cave was closed, Sun Zhijie's face darkened, "The door is closed in broad daylight. I wonder if they are doing something shameful."
Through the hanging white jade necklace, Li Gu glanced at Sun Zhijie. Sun Zhijie knew that he had spoken too early, so he kept silent.
Li Guduan sat on the jade chariot with his eyes slightly closed. He picked up a purple gold bell on the cloud couch, raised it and waved it gently. The mysterious sound was clear and spread all over the place. The strong men, boys and servants who heard the sound came up the mountain. His breath was unstable and his blood was surging. At this moment, he felt calm. Some people who were originally wandering around were also watching intently.
This Purple Gold Bell is held by the deacons of the past dynasties. Unlike the simple sound of the stopping bell and the calling bell that rings during morning classes, the Purple Gold Bell has the effect of forcing the disciples to wake up. However, due to its ability to calm the mind and stop thoughts, it will not The disciples who are at the critical moment of their cultivation have too much influence, which can be said to be a must for the inspection. This eliminates the idea of some disciples trying to get through by saying that they are at the critical moment of their cultivation and have no time to meet.
When the ringing of the Zijin bell stopped, a strong man in front of Li Gu called out to Wu Yi's cave: "Disciple Wu Yi, the deacon is in front, come out to receive you." After calling three times in a row, he started to hear something coming from inside. The sound of consent.
After a while, Wu Yi removed the stone sealing the door, opened the door, stepped forward and paid homage, saying: "Disciple Wu Yi, I didn't know that the deacon was in front of me, and I saw that you were late. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Gu opened the necklace and looked at Wu Yi carefully. He saw his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His every move was impeccable. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Wu Yi, do you know why I called you today?" ?”
Wu Yi lowered his head and said: "My disciple's expectation is good. It should be because I did not go to morning class today."
Li Gu laughed and said, "You know it well. Then you were delayed because of your cultivation?"
When Sun Zhijie noticed something was wrong, Wu Yi and Li Gu were chatting enthusiastically, so they put him aside and quickly interjected: "You must answer truthfully. If it is deception, the rules will not tolerate it."
Wu Yi seemed to have noticed that there was another cloud couch, and he hurriedly raised his hands to Sun Zhijie and said: "Everything my disciple said is true, I must not dare to deceive."
How come Wu Yi didn't see two cloud couches? It's just that the two sides are clearly separated and difficult to deal with. In this case, instead of doing well on both sides, which will end up being unpalatable to both sides, it is better to test one side first and then decide which side he can borrow. , he was lucky, he hit the target in one try, so naturally he "didn't see" another cloud couch.
Sun Zhijie's tone strengthened Wu Yi's guess as to why he would listen to him stupidly. Besides, Li Gu had already given him some advice. It would be foolish not to follow the trend.
So Wu Yi gave an overview of his cultivation process. Of course, some of the things can be saved, especially the importance of this morning's process. Although this is indeed the case, Wu Yi's exaggeration is undoubtedly more convincing.
force.
Li Gu nodded frequently while listening on the cloud couch, while Sun Zhijie on the other side wanted to rush up and sew Wu Yi's mouth. Every time Wu Yi said a word, he was slapping him in the face, because no matter what, cultivation is the most important, so
No one can blame you for not going to morning classes.
Finally, Li Gu said to Sun Zhijie with a smile on his side: "I wonder if Professor Sun is satisfied?"
Sun Zhijie's face was livid, and Wang Chuchen was so burned that he lost all thought. He even wanted to remove himself to avoid leaving an inhumane reputation.
However, he still wanted to show this guy how powerful he was, and Sun Zhijie felt furious.
"Wu Yi, you only felt angry today, right?"
He had said this before, so Wu Yi could only answer: "Yes."
Sun Zhijie showed a sinister smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, and said: "In this case, you must have failed to complete the mission in the temple. As Professor Ru, I heard that Dahuai Town has not been very peaceful recently. Why don't you go out and check it out?"
My reputation and prestige can save the people from water and fire."
Li Gu's face changed, and then returned to normal. Wu Yi, who had been watching Li Gu's face, realized that this trip was risky, but the risk should be within the controllable range, so he generously agreed and replied: "I would like to be in Guanzhong
One line.”
The matter was generally resolved, and Sun Zhijie didn't want to stay here any longer and embarrass himself, so he simply praised Wu Yi and left.
Li Gu stayed where he was, and after Sun Zhijie was far away from the bed, he said to Wu Yi with a serious face: "The Yin Qi in Dahuai Town has been scattered for some reason in the past few years. I have sent many people to check and clear it out, but the Yin Qi has been dispersed."
It's easy, but it's not easy to eradicate. Every once in a while, the yin energy leaks out again."
"Forget it, Sun Zhijie, let me give you a few days of grace so that you can familiarize yourself with the current state. This is a talisman of accepting yin. If you encounter something turbid and turbid, if you sacrifice it, it can save your life."
Li Gu took out a talisman made of locust wood from his sleeve, carefully handed it to Wu Yi's hand, explained the instructions for its use, and then went down the mountain.
