The branding iron fell on the chests of the two prisoners on the torture rack, and the prisoners let out a shrill scream.
Behind a clean desk not far away, Zhao Yuanjiao looked coldly at the torture scene in front of him.
"Senior Brother, we have verified the registered information of these new disciples one by one, and finally found the flaw, and finally uncovered these two devil sect's secret works." A junior disciple reported.
"Did you ask anything?" Zhao Yuanjiao said in a deep voice.
"They have a low status in the Demon Sect and don't know much. They only know that after joining our Taiqing Immortal Sect, there will be handyman disciples who will contact them. They don't know the specific identities. However, they said that there are already people in the Demon Sect.
Our Taiqing Immortal Sect occupies a high position."
"You really don't know if you don't check, the Demon Sect has penetrated our Taiqing Immortal Sect to this extent?" Zhao Yuanjiao said with an ugly face.
"Senior Brother, this matter is not trivial. Do you want to report it to the Pulse Master?" the junior brother asked worriedly.
"I have already reported it. I am fully responsible for the thorough investigation of this matter. I must make them pay with blood!" Zhao Yuanjiao said coldly, "This matter should not be publicized. Just inquire quietly and pry open these two demon sects for me.
I don't believe that there is only such a little bit of news."
"Yes!" the junior brother responded.
"By the way, is there any movement over there at the Sutra Pavilion?" Zhao Yuanjiao looked at the junior brother.
"Senior Brother, are you paying attention to Junior Brother Nanfeng?"
"Junior brother? Humph, we haven't found out his details yet. It's too early to call him junior brother now. What has he been doing this month?" Zhao Yuanjiao asked in a deep voice.
"Does Senior Brother know about the fight with Junior Sister Xiaoyu that day?"
"Well, Xiaoyu is not familiar with Marching Boxing. With suppressed cultivation and fixed boxing techniques, he is naturally not as familiar as that kid who practices Marching Boxing every day. Losing to him is nothing. I thought that after reading a few more Taoist scriptures, I can scare him.
I have memorized more scriptures than he has ever heard of. Junior Sister Xiaoyu is too honest, so she gave him three hundred taels of gold?" Zhao Yuanjiao said coldly.
"However, Elder Ku seems to be very interested in that kid. He personally taught him the "Ba Fist" for five days before starting to retreat. Moreover, Elder Ku used to like punishing people for endorsements. This time, he didn't punish the kid even once."
The Taiqing Immortal Sect disciple smiled bitterly.
"Did you teach him for five days in a row?" Zhao Yuanjiao frowned slightly.
"That's right, for the next twenty days or so, his life is very regular. He practices Ba Quan in the morning, and reads in the Sutra Pavilion from afternoon to evening."
"Reading in the Sutra Pavilion? Have you ever been to the second floor?" Zhao Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes.
"No, he is not qualified to go to the second level at all. Moreover, he seems to be reading Taoist scriptures and is very fascinated."
"Enthralled?" Zhao Yuanjiao looked at his junior brother in shock.
You know, those are obscure scriptures. I have memorized a lot of them, but I still don’t understand them thoroughly. Reading them is like a bible, and it has a hypnotic effect. Can you also be fascinated by it?
"Yes, I was so tired of watching it that I forgot to eat and sleep," said the junior brother.
Zhao Yuanjiao: "..."
"That kid has read no less than three hundred Taoist scriptures this month, most of which are related to boxing." The junior brother added.
Zhao Yuanjiao raised his eyebrows: "What did you say? In one month, he has read three hundred books? On average, he reads ten books a day? Are you kidding me?"
"it is true!"
"Even if you read it wholeheartedly, you can't read ten books a day. He must be pretending. This guy is deliberately trying to confuse us." Zhao Yuanjiao snorted coldly.
"But...the person responsible for monitoring him really said that."
"Fart, let me read it. How many books can you read with gusto in a day?" Zhao Yuanjiao said angrily, "He must have guessed that someone would spy on him, so he deliberately pretended to try to deceive us. Unfortunately, although he pretended to be like
, just acting too hard and reading ten books a day? Do you think we are all blind?"
"Elder brother, now..."
"Continue to keep an eye on him and see who he comes into contact with. He will definitely have contacts. He will definitely avoid our surveillance and conspire with contacts. If this happens, he will be arrested and tortured immediately."
"Catch him? But, he is Elder Ku's disciple, we..."
"Catch!" Zhao Yuanjiao said firmly with his eyes widened.
"yes!"
Early morning, Sutra Pavilion.
Under a ray of sunlight, Xiao Nanfeng sat cross-legged and breathed in the morning sun's air. After burning a stick of incense, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.
All around, there was still the sound of chanting without stopping. Xiao Nanfeng enjoyed the environment here very much.
At this moment, a handyman disciple came next to him carrying a food box.
"Senior Brother Nanfeng, you are lucky. A batch of golden demon eels came to the kitchen yesterday. I have cooked a smaller one according to your request. It is ready to eat now. This golden demon eel costs one hundred taels of gold."
The handyman disciple said respectfully.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Nanfeng said politely.
"I'm just a handyman disciple. I'm at the disposal of Senior Sister Xiaoyu. Senior Brother, just call me Tang Xiaoyi!"
Xiao Nanfeng took out one hundred taels of gold and handed it to Tang Xiaoyi. This month, he had spent one thousand three hundred taels of gold on purchasing ingredients with the solitude attribute, and this was the last one hundred taels.
He sat at the dining table nearby, opened the food box, and feasted on a plate of golden demon eels.
"I knew you would be indispensable for these golden demon eels. Do you want to starve them to death? Geez!" Xiaoyu's laughter suddenly came.
"Senior sister? Why are you here?" Xiao Nanfeng looked around.
But he saw Xiaoyu wearing tight black clothes, with an extremely prominent upper body and a slender waist. She walked over in a good mood.
"Let me see how you waste your family!" Xiaoyu said with a smile. Xiaoyu pointed at the people who endorsed Siguoyaxia, "Those senior brothers and juniors who endorsed Siguoyaxia, it was already miserable enough to be punished for endorsing, and now they have to do it again
Enduring hunger and smelling the fragrance of your meat? Have you considered their feelings?"
"Gululu!"
Sure enough, there were several disciples who endorsed it, and his stomach growled.
"Brothers, you can also buy it. You don't have to fast during chanting." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "The sect's annual one thousand taels of gold resources are for you to spend for a year. If you spend it all this month, then you will not be able to live for the rest of the day? Do you think others are like you?"
Not far away, the brothers who were chanting sutras all looked at each other with gloating expressions. If you eat like this, you will be eating dirt for the next eleven months.
"I can't help it. If you don't eat, your cultivation will grow too slowly." Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly.
"I hope you buy more, so that I can make money! I paid for this monster eel with my life. This time I went out with my brothers to destroy a sea monster cave and caught a lot of golden monster eels.
Here." Xiaoyu said proudly.
"Huh? Together, I spent one hundred taels of gold to buy this dish, but in the end all the money ended up in your pocket?" Xiao Nanfeng asked in surprise.
"That's not true. We who went out to hunt monsters this time will receive credit based on our efforts. I only earned a thousand taels of gold." Although Xiao Yu was modest, his eyes were full of pride.
"If you go out and eat monster beasts, can you still make money?" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes lit up.
"Are you envious? Do you want senior sister to take you out to make money together?" Xiao Yu beguiled Xiao Nanfeng.
"No, with my current level of cultivation, I will die if I go out. I'd better stay in the sect and practice hard." Xiao Nanfeng shook his head decisively.
"Tch, you've eaten up all the 1,300 taels of gold this month, how can you still practice? Without Zhiyang spiritual objects to eat, your Chaoyang Kung will have to wait until the year of the monkey to improve." Xiao Yu said with disdain.
.
"Senior sister, you don't have to worry about this. Even if there is no Zhiyang spiritual object, I still have countless scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion. Reading makes me happy!" Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and continued to refuse.
Xiaoyu: "..."
This was what Xiao Yu could not accept the most. She originally thought that Xiao Nanfeng was trying to flatter Elder Ku that day, but in the past month, Xiao Nanfeng actually could bear his temper and read Taoist scriptures there every day.
Reading makes you happy? Are you sick? Can you say such shameless things?
"Senior sister, is there something wrong with you coming to see me?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? I'll choose the best cook to deliver food to you, and you're so unkind to me?" Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, I have already said that if you have any questions, just tell me. If I can help, I will never refuse."
"That's what I've been waiting for." Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and she said with a smile.
Xiao Nanfeng: "..."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to be my teacher, Elder Ku, so that you can help me blow my mind." Xiao Yu said with an earnest look.
"The other day, I heard you said that you wanted to learn the piano from Master. Is Master's piano skills very good?" Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"I know Master is very powerful, but I don't know how powerful he is. Can you tell me about it?" Xiao Nanfeng asked curiously.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Nanfeng with a strange expression: "You are really a fool with a lot of luck, I got you a big deal."
Xiao Nanfeng: "..."
"Let's put it this way, Elder Ku entered Taoism through music. In terms of piano music alone, he is absolutely number one in the sect. Even the sect leader cannot compare! Oh, by the way, there seemed to be someone who could compare with Elder Ku in this aspect in the past, but...
There has been no news from that person for decades." Xiao Yu recalled.
"Oh? Who?" Xiao Nanfeng asked curiously.
"It seems like... Xiao Hongye? An elder from Huangmai." Xiao Yu recalled.
