Three days later, in the same position, looking at the same group of people.

But this time, Hong Niansheng, who was sitting at the top of the sutra hall, was in an indescribably happy mood.

Originally a direct disciple of the master of Dieyun Peak, he devoted himself to cultivation and brought in disciples in his spare time. He lived a relatively leisurely life.

But just one day ago, when the retreat and refining of the weapon, which he originally planned to win, was about to be completed, he was not careful, and the formation failed to be closed, and all the previous efforts were completely wasted.

In this way, not to mention a lot of materials, the broken magic weapon may have to be spent on spiritual stones, favors, and repairs and rescues by experts in the sect.

Including the three months wasted in vain, it is almost a loss to grandma's house.

If you want to memorize words while walking, your teeth will be choked by drinking cold water.

Just after he came out of seclusion, there was a problem with Yuan Zi Ke under his command - some disciples wanted to replace him with a senior brother in the department.

Speaking of Lin Xiao, Hong Niansheng was also filled with boredom.

I thought I had picked up a good seedling. With a little bit of training, I might be able to gain glory as a master by teaching him skills in the future.

But who would have thought that a mission to the mountain gate would lead to him being seriously injured and ruining his future.

The sound of accusations in my ears continued, and the disciple in the hall who kept confessing that he was "wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the public" was still talking.

Hong Niansheng felt a little irritated inexplicably in his heart. Finally, he cast his gaze on Lin Xiao, who was bowing his head and saying nothing. He couldn't help but secretly said, "Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, my teacher has given you a lot of time. If you want to blame me, go ahead."

It's just bad luck and ruthless road..."

Thinking of this, Hong Niansheng raised two fingers of his right hand lightly. "Okay, stop it."

The voice was not loud, and Li Enyu, who was in the middle of speaking, immediately stopped talking, bowed and said yes, his cheeks buried in his arms turned green and red, and he was terrified.

Hong Niansheng's eyes scanned the entire audience, and the deacon at the bottom immediately picked up the topic. "Master Yuan Zi Ke has asked for your decision."

"Master, please make a decision." Dozens of disciples in the hall said in unison.

"Yeah." Hong Niansheng turned to look at Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao..."

"Ah? Oh, the disciple is here!" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, seemed a little absent-minded, and immediately bowed and answered.

This move caused Hong Niansheng to frown slightly. "Lin Xiao, it's not because he doesn't care about old friendships or credits as a teacher. He's just a senior brother in one subject. He should be a role model for his disciples, and those with the highest level of cultivation should be the ones to be assigned."

"I know that you are injured, but it is related to the internal examination of the mountain sect and the teaching skills of various peaks. Given your current situation, I am afraid that your strength and skills are not up to par. It is better to recover from your illness and temporarily give up the position of senior brother.

, what do you think?"

Hong Niansheng's words were reserved, but all the disciples in the hall understood them clearly.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Xiao continues to hold the position of senior brother, it will not look good if he loses the face of the mountain master when teaching skills in the future. It is better to get down now.

The master at the top of the list spoke, and all the disciples at the bottom of the line now knew what was going on.

Just when everyone was waiting for Lin Xiao to express his stance and resign, he said the opposite word.

"No, no..." Lin Xiao said every word in a trembling voice.

What? What did Lin Xiao say? He actually said "no"?!

All the disciples were immediately shocked on the spot. Some even forgot about the etiquette in the hall and looked up directly at Lin Xiao's back, with expressions on their faces like "Isn't he crazy?"

Hong Niansheng, who was at the head, was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the deacon who was passing on the exercises. The latter also had a look of astonishment on his face.

Hong Niansheng frowned at first, and then slowly let go. "Lin Xiao, what did you say?" With years of Qi-nurturing skills, he controlled his tone as much as possible, "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."<

/p>

As soon as Hong Niansheng finished speaking, Lin Xiao, who had lowered his head and remained silent the whole time, suddenly raised his head, and saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was filled with a ferocious and terrifying look!

"No! My cultivation was once the first among undergraduates! I was bleeding and injured for the sect! Now, if my cultivation is no longer there, why wouldn't even I be allowed to be a senior brother?! Why? Why!..."
p>

Lin Xiao roared, his beard and hair spread out, he spread his arms like a wild beast, and looked around for someone. Suddenly, his eyes focused on a person.

"It's you! You're such a talented person! I proposed to my master that I should remove my senior brother! I want to help Zou recommend that guy to the position! Right or wrong!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao took a lunge and rushed straight towards Li En and He who had not yet returned.

"Hey! Senior Brother Lin, you, you..." Li En and He had never seen such a scene before. Their mouths trembled and they trembled. Before they could use the true energy to protect their bodies, they saw a fist getting bigger and bigger in front of their eyes.

Bang——!

The fist penetrated the flesh, there was a muffled sound, blood rushed to the sky, and the figure turned upside down.

Seeing that Li Enyu was knocked down by a punch, Lin Xiao was still angry. He yelled and cursed loudly and got on top of him, tearing and beating them and rolling together.

Everything happened so fast, and I really didn’t expect that it would turn into what it is now.

When all the disciples reacted, the entire sutra hall immediately exploded. The timid ones ran away, while the rest became a mess and made a lot of noise.

"Lin, Senior Brother Lin is crazy..."

"Run, run!"

"Stop fighting, come quickly and pull them apart!"

"What are you still looking at! Come on, come on..."

"..."

The deacon who was standing next to Hong Niansheng looked pale, not because he was scared, but because he really didn’t know how the current situation would end.

He quietly glanced at his master and saw that the latter's forehead was trembling slightly and his veins were beating wildly. It was obvious that he was really angry.

Hearing a "click", Hong Niansheng smashed the armrest of the chair with his palm, became angry and shouted loudly.

"Enough!"

This sound used the power of true energy to turn thoughts into threads, shaking the sea of ​​consciousness of all the disciples in the hall. Everyone stopped moving as if a immobilization spell had been cast.

Even Lin Xiao, who was still beating people, seemed to have woken up from a dream. He was holding Li En and the torn collar in one hand, and clenching his fist in the other hand, and was stunned on the spot.

The next moment, Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at Li Enyu, whose face was stained with blood and seemed to have been knocked unconscious. Then he looked at the disciples around him who quietly retreated to both sides, bowing their heads and not daring to speak. Then he let go and staggered.

,Two steps back.

"I, I..." Lin Xiao looked at his black and red hands, covered with dirt and blood, and was speechless for a moment.

"Lin Xiao——!"

Hong Niansheng's roar made Lin Xiao tremble all over.

Just listen to him continue, "Open your eyes and take a good look at what you are like now!" Hong Nian's face turned red with anger, "Unkempt hair and disheveled clothes, how dare you start a fight in the hall in front of my master?

, Beat up fellow disciples! Are you crazy?"

"I, I..." Lin Xiao's lips trembled slightly, but his words were lost.

"If you act like this and let you stay in Hanxi Mountain again, I, Hong Niansheng, will be incompetent as a disciple and will humiliate the mountain gate!" Hong Niansheng raised his hand and roared: "Lin Xiao, from now on, I will expel you as my teacher...

…”

At this point, Zou Jian, who was standing in the corner, raised the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, a louder voice came out of Lin Xiao's mouth, directly interrupting Hong Niansheng's words.

"Master——!"

Lin Xiao seemed to have no strength left. He swayed and lay on the ground. Then he wiped his face with his big sleeves. When he looked up again, his face was full of tears. "Master, please don't expel this disciple from the school! Disciple bows to Hanxi."

Shan, I have entered the master's sect, and I never want to win glory for my Yuanzi department and grow up for my master. I have been doing this for more than five years, and I may not dare to forget..."

"It's a pity, it's a pity that this disciple is injured, this injury..." Lin Xiao said the pain point and looked up to the sky and cried, "The great road has abandoned me, the great road has abandoned me..."

For a time, there was only one voice in the hall, and this accusation fell into the ears of all the disciples. Everyone who heard it was heartbroken, and everyone who saw it shed tears.

After a long time, Hong Niansheng also let out a long sigh and said three times, "Let's let it go... I think of you and my master and apprentice. After all, we are destined to be together. As a teacher, I can't bear to have you wandering around the world... Lu An!"

"Disciple is here!" the deacon who taught the skills bowed and said.

"I ask you to go to the Internal Affairs Hall immediately, take my seal, cancel the genealogy of Lin Xiaoshan's disciples, sign another document, and send it to the outer sect's main hall to turn this boy into an outer sect disciple..."

"Yes, Master!" The deacon who taught the technique took Hong Niansheng's seal with both hands, took two steps back, and turned around.

Lin Xiao shouted in pain, "Master——!"

However, Hong Niansheng raised his hand to stop him. "You and I are masters and disciples. We are in the outer sect. I hope you will do your best!" After saying this, his eyes turned cold and he scanned the whole room. "All disciples in the hall, listen to the order and practice diligently in the future.

, don’t think otherwise, if anyone breaks the rules again, he will end up like this!”

After saying this, without waiting for the disciples to reply, he used his body skills to fly outside the hall. Suddenly, the light suddenly appeared and disappeared without a trace.

"Disciple, please obey your master's orders!" At this time, the replies from all the disciples in the hall had just begun.

When everyone stood up again, they looked at the messy sutra hall and Lin Xiao, who was slumped on the ground with lifeless eyes, sighing for a while with different expressions.

"Why did it end up like this..."

"Who can say otherwise? The former Senior Brother Lin was so amazing and talented."

"Yes, alas, what a pity..."

"Okay, to put it bluntly, isn't this just a case of losing power and losing your mind and going crazy."

"Yes, this is correct. When he stood on the top of the mountain, why didn't he think that there was someone climbing up behind him?..."

"..."

"Okay! Leave them all alone!"

Zou Jian's sudden shout instantly cut off everyone's murmurs. Before he could continue speaking, many disciples immediately shrank their necks and walked directly out of the door in groups, for fear of walking too slowly and touching the future.

The bad luck of the "new senior brother".

Looking at Li Enyu whose face was covered with blood, Zou Jian's face was gloomy. He never expected that things could reach this point, and he even asked Lin Xiao to comment on his own matters in public. This is what he said.

How not to be angry.

When he thought about this and was about to take action, he realized that he was also angry. He was still in the sutra hall, and he didn't want to make the master more angry at this time, so he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulders.<

/p>

"You brat, don't think this is the end of the matter. Even if you escape to the outer gate, I can still find a way to cure you!" After saying that, he pushed hard, and seeing Lin Xiao still looking like he was unconscious, his heart became even more angry.<

/p>

He stood up and yelled at his subordinates. "What are you doing here poking at me! Lien and find someone to treat you quickly! Let's go!"

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and walked out first.

The people behind them looked at each other, hurriedly set up Li En and Yu, and followed Zou Jian and ran out of the Sutra Hall.

After a while, Lin Xiao was the only one left in the huge sutra hall, who was slumped on the ground.

At this time, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, quietly turned away his spiritual senses, and found that there was no one else nearby. He cursed secretly, "Is there too much ginger powder on these sleeves..."

He casually took out the kettle that had been prepared, poured it on his face, and wiped it with his hand. What appeared again was his bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and his graceful appearance. How could there be a hint of foolishness?

Yes, this is the strategy he came up with to break the situation - make a big fuss in the sutra hall to avoid trouble in the outer sect.

In fact, as early as the moment when his finger bones turned green and he was stared at by someone, Lin Xiao knew that he could not stay in Hanxi Mountain any longer.

There are many masters inside the mountain gate. Living here, I will inevitably come into contact with people. If someone breaks the weird finger bones on my body, I am afraid I will not be able to escape the fate of being kept in captivity for research. Whether I can survive by then is a matter of two things.

.

But to say the least, even if you think of ways to escape, there are still skills.

If the quarrel is too minor, not only may you not be able to go out, but you may also suffer some physical pain and be locked up for a period of time.

If you make too much noise, you will be expelled from the school and become a casual cultivator. It is too difficult to practice on the great road.

After all, casual cultivators may sound nice and carefree, but such casual cultivators are all capable seniors who have made it through the years. With their high cultivation, they no longer need to rely on the resources of the sect.

The more realistic situation is that the vast majority of casual cultivators are struggling at the bottom of the Immortal Sect. Many people spend their entire lives unable to even touch the threshold of foundation building, and end up with hatred and souls destroyed.

Therefore, for Lin Xiao, it is necessary to leave, but the skin of Hanxi Mountain cannot be lost.

After much deliberation, the best option fell on downgrading the outer disciples.

After the path is finalized, all that’s left is execution.

Making a fuss in the sutra hall, violently beating up favors, showing people that they are crazy, and not being able to get to the bottom of things is the first step.

To seize Master Hong Niansheng's great achievements, to save face, and not to bear the blame for his disciple's incompetence, which will bring shame on himself, will only lead to a lighter punishment, and the second step is to deal with things hastily.

Now that both links were completed, Lin Xiao looked at the blood stains on his hands and thought that half of the big deal was done, and the remaining half depends on someone...

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Lin Xiao slowly stood up and looked at the empty sutra hall with mixed feelings.

He still remembers the first time he stood here, listening to scriptures and learning skills. At that time, he really believed that one day he would become famous and become an outstanding person among his peers.

The real fact is that, let alone yourself, even the vast number of low-level disciples in the entire Hanxi Mountain Sect are nothing more than earth and gravel under the powerful glory of the Mountain Sect.

Those who cannot keep up with their cultivation will be eliminated, those with limited resources will be eliminated, and those who are unexpected will be eliminated...

Time flies by, and no one cares about where those eliminated have gone. It seems that no one will remember what happened to an "injured disciple" named Lin Xiao at the foot of Dieyun Peak.

"I'm an ant, so what?"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and a voice shouted crazily in his heart.

"What I'm afraid of is not being trampled to death, but facing my fate. One day, I will be so weak that I even look down on myself!"

Finally, he raised his head and took a deep look at the plaque hanging high in the middle of the sutra hall.

On it are four characters in gold paint on a black background, "The road lies in the sky".
Chapter completed!
