Following the words of the leader Qi Hengtai, several people in Hongyun Palace looked at Qi Zhengfeng. Qi Zhengfeng was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked around, looking at the few people who were waiting for him to speak. His face seemed gloomy.
Frankly said:
"The matter involves my unscrupulous disciple, Yan Shujia. Previously, the leader sent him to Tianlimen Zhuojian City to serve as a stationed deacon, hoping that he could get training from various common affairs, but things went against expectations. This time the Seven Alliance
During the chaos, she failed to assess the situation and report in a timely manner, which not only put herself in danger, but also caused a lot of trouble. If Elder Yisheng had not made a prompt decision and turned the tide, I am afraid that our country, Qi, would not only suffer from this chaos.
, and also gain a bad reputation.”
"Therefore," Qi Zhengfeng paused, "I request to be punished as a punishment. As a master, I also made an oversight and neglected my responsibilities of discipline, so I asked for a two-year fine."
It seems that you alone have to tell the whole story. Tian Yicheng on the side couldn't help but thought to himself. At the same time, he also thought that Qi Zhengfeng had really good intentions when he became a master. He actually punished himself first and shouldered the responsibility, and helped his beloved disciple.
The suspicion of acquittal is obvious.
"Yicheng, you personally led the team to Luoyingmen to deal with this incident. What do you think about this matter?" Qi Hengtai saw that the other two people had nothing to do with him and remained silent, so he named Tian Yicheng.
"This incident is indeed sudden. Although Yan Shujia is talented and intelligent, he has never experienced such a chaos. It is understandable that he has no good plan to deal with it in the future." Tian Yicheng's longevity eyebrows trembled slightly as he spoke and carefully observed Qi Hengtai's emotions.
Seeing that he did not show any anger, he continued, "However, I have already stepped down. The specific punishment methods need to be determined by the current law enforcement elder Tian Guixin and others according to the terms of the sect."
"It makes sense. There is no rule without rules. You must follow the terms and confirm carefully. It should not be unfair, nor should it be too harsh and discourage the disciples from working hard for the sect."
Qi Hengtai nodded. Since Tian Yicheng had downplayed the matter and did not criticize Yan Shujia too much, it was consistent with his original intention. He did not need to specifically excuse him. The current law enforcement elder was indeed Tian Guixin, but the person in front of him was
This is Tian Yicheng's nephew, which is one of the reasons why he called Tian Yicheng here. Presumably after leaving here, they will decide the method of punishment based on the "atmosphere" here. This is not what he, the leader, should carefully consider.
thing.
"Talk about something else."
"Yes!" Tian Yicheng understood, took out a heavy lapis lazuli pestle from the storage bag, and handed it to Meng Wenxiang, the chief of the weapon refining hall. However, Meng Wenxiang's small mouse eyes suddenly let out a bright light,
Immediately, there were several strange-shaped objects in his hand, which were stimulated by the spiritual power condensed in his hand and bloomed with various colors of light.
"In this magic weapon, there is an ancient demon weapon spirit." Meng Wenxiang presented the green gold pestle to the leader Qi Hengtai, "However, this ancient demon is not born, but the product of demon refining. From what I can see, the refining
The craftsmanship is very rough. As expected, this weapon spirit is not very intelligent." He turned to look at Tian Yicheng. Since this magic weapon was provided by the other party, there would naturally be some additional clues.
"The weapon spirit is like a horse and a deer. It is indeed not very intelligent and can easily be deceived by tricks. Moreover, unlike ordinary weapon spirits, it seems difficult to grow in this area."
"No!"
Meng Wenxiang, who is good at refining weapons, shook his head and immediately denied Tian Yicheng's assertion, "It's not completely hopeless. If you can use the blood of violent beasts to continuously concoct this thing, you can awaken some of its instincts. That's not bad."
It's worth it. It just costs a lot. Whether it's worth it or not needs to be carefully verified based on the test conditions."
"Whether it's usable or not, I'll do some research on this thing before I make a decision." The leader, Qi Hengtai, stretched out his hand to stop the two of them from continuing to talk, "My question is, where does this thing come from?"
"Master, according to my analysis, in the Hokuriku, the only remaining ancient monsters, even if they cannot transform, have been banned from hunting. As for the fusion method, although there is no order to prohibit it, it is also limited by cost and is rarely used. Therefore,
This thing may come from the southern continent, or the Whale Sea Islands." Meng Wenxiang took the lapis lazuli pestle again from the master's hand and carefully identified the complex magic circle on it, but saw no signs of regional characteristics. "The refining techniques are all the same.
The general method used shows that a lot of effort has been put into it and the source is not exposed.”
"The probability of the Whale Sea Islands is low. It is mainly the territory of the demon tribe. The rules are different from those in the southern and northern continents." Qi Hengtai, as the leader, seemed to know more about this, "In this way, it is
Coming from the Southern Tianyuan Continent, where our clan’s power is flourishing, it is common to raise and cultivate demonic beasts, but how did such a high-level magic weapon bypass the supervision of the Nine Old Men and get into the hands of Tu Shan?”
"Although it is high-level, it is not very practical. I think Tu Shan was probably deceived." Meng Wenxiang asserted.
"Irregularity is the main thing." In meetings with Meng Wenxiang, who focuses on refining weapons, the head Qi Hengtai often needs to change the topic again, otherwise it will quickly turn into a debate about the techniques for refining weapons and the quality of magic weapons.
"Yes, why don't you submit it?" Tian Yicheng raised his hand slightly, but everyone in the room understood what he was talking about.
"The key question is whether it is related to Liu Tingjian." Qi Hengtai did not say it so vaguely. "If it is related, it would be embarrassing for us to present it so abruptly. After all, he has just done us a big favor. Although it is in line with the rules, it is not what we have been doing for many years."
A kind of reward for worship.”
"Let's do this, Yicheng, since
However, many people present saw you getting this seemingly good magic weapon, so there is no way to hide it. If anyone mentions it in tomorrow's discussion, just say that you accidentally lost it."
"lost?"
Tian Yicheng's long-spanned eyebrows twitched, and he immediately felt that this reason was unbelievable. Am I an old fool? I took a magic weapon and lost it. Wouldn't it become a joke within the sect, "Will everyone believe this?"
"I believe."
Qi Hengtai was the first to say, "I will go and find out about this matter first. If Liu Tingjian doesn't know about it, it will be considered a credit if he submits it. This magic weapon can be transported from the southern continent to the northern continent without anyone noticing.
The participation of people from the Nine Old Men is a good bargaining chip for our worship of Liu Tingjian. He will definitely give us something in return. If he is involved, then we will pretend that this matter does not exist. Sometimes, we know too much
Too much is not a good thing."
"yes!"
The remaining three people agreed together. Although the reason "lost" is a bit silly, it is still a countermeasure. It is better to keep this secret matter to a very small range. It just seems that,
There will be some embarrassment at the Presbyterian meeting tomorrow. Tian Yicheng pursed his lips, feeling that he had really brought back a hot potato. If he had known this, he would not have coveted it and let it run away.
However, if Liu Tingjian really does not know about this matter, then he has his own contribution to this matter. When the time comes, he will call a few people today to evaluate together what he should get from the sect's treasury in order to be worthy of this contribution.
Enemy, by the way, he has been coveting the pair of fourth-level low-grade flying swords in the treasury that are comparable to magic weapons and inherited from his master's uncle for a long time.
Everyone dispersed, leaving Qi Zhengfeng alone.
"Have you been there recently?" Qi Hengtai asked.
"where?"
"There are no outsiders. How is she lately?"
"Oh," Qi Zhengfeng finally understood what the leader Qi Hengtai was referring to. He was still thinking about the treasure just now, but he forgot about some common agreements between the two of them. "I went to see it when I left the customs, and she laughed at me.
She said that I have no connection with Dao Dao, but my mood only improved for a while. Why don’t you go and see her in person?"
"Of course I didn't have the shame to go, and some people looked too closely. They might get into trouble if they went to the backyard. Speaking of which, Jia'er looks very similar to her, so every time I'm summoned, just treat it as if I'm watching."
"She hopes we can treat Yan Shujia normally."
"How is that possible?" Qi Hengtai forced a smile, "You and I have both been thinking about how to make up for the debts we owed back then. I'd rather forget about this punishment. Just like you, I'll be fined for two years and banned from going out. You can think of another one at your own time.
Apply for reasons, send her out, and save up enough credit for opening the mansion as soon as possible."
"But we really can't let her go out."
"Why?"
"She seems to have gotten involved with a young demon clan leader, the leader of the Qianshan Sect, a boy named Jiang Feng."
"Qianshan Sect?" Qi Hengtai just blinked slightly, not paying attention to such a small sect. "It is not a good thing to hang out with the monster clan. Does Mingxin already know it?"
"I haven't said it yet."
"Then forget it. It's better not to say anything. Otherwise, based on her temperament, she will probably agree."
"yes!"
"Did Jia'er notice anything unusual?"
"Not yet. However, if she is not punished in any substantial way every time she makes a mistake, she will probably know about Mingxin's relationship with you and me sooner or later. These old things within the sect are not unknown to anyone."
"It's my relationship with you. It's a relationship that can't be explained clearly, and it's still a mess." Qi Hengtai said half teasingly, half warning.
"This..." Qi Zhengfeng hesitated, thinking that you obviously can't let go, but I have already let go.
"I am the leader, so I still need you to take care of this matter."
"Yes." Qi Zhengfeng suddenly felt heavy-headed, but he has been carrying this blame for a long time. It doesn't matter if he carries it for a few more days. As long as Chu Mingxin doesn't mind, he will be happy to do it. The leader was in chaos and finally gave up.
However, if the past events that he has never forgotten are revealed rashly, it would indeed be inappropriate. What’s more, there is a jealous woman in his family. The real situation in this matter can be hidden for a day, so it is better to hide it for a day. Chu Mingxin will not tell it.
, then it’s okay.
As for Qi Hengtai's desire to promote a happy marriage between Yan Shujia and his nephew, he just wanted to compensate for Chu Mingxin's obsession in disguise. From his point of view as a master, the happy master who likes to recite poems and compose poems is not a good match for Yan Shujia.
, However, this does not mean that the little leader of the demon clan can take advantage of the situation.
Looking back, it seems that the warning at that time was not severe enough. He should have been allowed to cultivate for at least a few months. Unfortunately, his apprentice refused to let him, so there was nothing he could do.
Girls are really outgoing, and he could only shake his head at this.
…………
Chixiamen, Pujiang Town Medical Center.
Jiang Feng turned around and put away all the fragments of the magic weapon that had been judged useless. He remembered that there seemed to be a crude refining method that could combine the fragments of the magic weapon into one and gain some use. These fragments could corrode the magic, and perhaps
It should be used against the enemy in unexpected ways.
To expect the "seven-cornered gray crystal" to have similar functions and directly destroy the Dharma's appearance, the conditions are still too harsh.
Previously, Jiang Feng accidentally discovered a mortal young man named "Zhao Yuan" here. In his double dharma, he had exactly what he needed to refine the ancient treasure Eternal Tower.
"Wild ghost roots and vines", so he was left here. Since he had no other livelihood, he had been helping here. Jiang Feng asked Zheng Lufan, and the other party mentioned that this person was quite smart and capable, and he was very dedicated to learning medical skills. Now he is able to work alone
After sitting in the court for consultation, he had already raised this person's monthly salary.
"Call this person."
Jiang Feng decided to adopt the "Wild Ghost Root Vine" remnant form, and then leave here as soon as possible and return to Luochuan. But before that, he planned to ask some things clearly, such as why he claimed to be a member of the Chixia Sect despite his Yanqiling accent.
Why, Jiang Feng suspected that this person might be a descendant of a large family who escaped when Yanqiling was destroyed. Judging from his words and deeds, this possibility is extremely high.
Zhao Yuan was brought up quickly. The young man was still wearing a doctor's robe. He looked elegant and tidy, and he seemed to have some medical skills. However, Jiang Feng knew the real situation here, including Zheng Lufan.
All of them are dabblers and have no medical skills at all. They only rely on a few monk elixirs with mild effects to defraud money. The more important function is to provide themselves with a place to stay and to detect information.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yuan didn't know that Jiang Feng was the leader. He only knew that Jiang Feng was a friend of the owner of the medical center and the person who provided the owner with prescriptions.
"Let me ask you, who are you from?" Jiang Feng's earth-level aura leaked out, wrapping the other party tightly in it.
"The villain..." Zhao Yuan was about to respond according to the original routine, but he only felt that his whole body tightened and his breathing became difficult. For a moment, the feeling of dying emerged in his heart. He tried his best to say, "The villain is Chixia."
Door……"
"to be honest."
Jiang Feng's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. It resounded in Zhao Yuan's heart and cleared all the messy thoughts in his mind. Is this the power of a monk? He could not help but sweat on his back.
When he emerged, his clothes were suddenly soaked.
"The villain... is from Yanqiling." Zhao Yuan had no choice but to say honestly, but he immediately thought that Yanqiling had already destroyed the sect for more than a year, so it would not be a big deal if he said so.
"What exactly?"
"An ordinary well-off family is not worth mentioning."
"Huh?" Zhao Yuan only felt that his body was floating up, and was suddenly thrown to the ground like a rag. He quickly changed his words, "My father is Zhao Puzhi, the deacon of the inner sect of Yanqi Ridge." Before he finished speaking, he felt
A piece of bloody jade on his chest flew out uncontrollably and was held in Jiang Feng's hand.
"To be honest, I will give you a destiny so that you have the opportunity to become a monk." Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of this magic weapon. It was an accident. Just then he inadvertently turned on the "Linglong Baoguang" and discovered that this person was wearing a magic weapon.
A purple-light magical artifact, which was at least a third-level high-grade artifact, was not something he, an ordinary mortal, or a mortal from a deacon family, could possess. In other words, the identity of the person in front of him could not be that simple.
"Senior, can you give me the elixir for awakening?" When Zhao Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right. But you must swear an oath to be loyal to me for the rest of your life."
"Yes, if senior can grant me a destiny, I will be loyal and never forget my great kindness." Zhao Yuan suddenly knelt down and kowtowed several times in succession, "This villain is the son of Zhong Jun, the head of Yanqiling. His real name is
Zhong Yuan.”
That's right. Jiang Feng smiled in his heart. Only the son of the head could have an artifact of this quality. However, he immediately thought that after Zhong Jun's death, all members of his main family were slaughtered. How could there be such a thing?
A fish that slipped through the net, "When the Yanqiling Gate was breached, weren't all your brothers and sisters killed by the Chixia Gate?"
"My mother and I do not live in the sect. However, my father is also very good to us. Sooner or later I will avenge him!" When this young man who is actually "Zhong Yuan" mentioned this, a look appeared on his face.
He showed some determination, but he didn't seem to be confident. Obviously, this mortal body did not bring any possibility to his thoughts.
"Hatred will blind your eyes. When you become a monk, you will know this truth." Although the illegitimate child in front of him is the enemy of Chixia Sect, he is still too weak. After being promoted to the earth level, Jiang Feng's original thoughts changed.
There have been a lot of changes. If Ye Mo were here now, he would never have any thoughts of cultivating potential opponents for Zeng Baoxian and deliberately awaken the Dharma for him.
It takes a long time for a seedling to grow into a giant tree, but the road to the road requires seizing the day. You still have to plan this kind of thing yourself, and relying on others to do it will only delay the opportunity.
Thinking about this, he remembered that Ye Mo, the little seedling from before, had no idea what he had grown into. He had never seen him again since he helped him awaken the Dharma.
…………
Nearly a hundred miles away in Huangshui City, the Ye Family Chamber of Commerce.
"Madam, please rest first. I will look at some accounts again. Recently, the sect's territory has expanded, the transactions between various chambers of commerce have become very chaotic, and the accounts receivable are in a mess."
"Then husband, please rest early." A gentle voice came from the side, and her jade hand carefully filled another cup of spiritual tea. She leaned over to help him straighten his collar, and then Yingying quietly left, leaving Ye Mo alone.
In a slightly empty and cold study room.
Ye Mo didn't speak, pretending to look through a few pages of accounts. After the voice faded away, he took out a directory from the storage bag. It was the same directory he had obtained from the Chixia Sect's head's inner palace.
Looking through it carefully, he was convinced that the true circumstances of his father's death lay in this.
