Liang Wanli glanced at Lin San, who was still kneeling on the ground, his face suddenly sank, and he scolded sternly: "Feng Chen, do you know your guilt?"
Lin San was stunned: "What crime have I committed?"
"Humph," Liang Wanli snorted coldly: "You fabricated facts and framed Elder Ding, and finally made Elder Ding so angry that he passed out. Your scheming is really deep." When Elder Ding was so angry that he spurted blood and passed out, , Liang Wanli knew that Elder Ding was wrongly accused.
Lin San had a confused look on his face: "I didn't frame Elder Ding, everything I said was true." At this point, even if Lin San was beaten to death, it would be impossible for him to admit that he framed Elder Ding.
"You still dare to quibble," Liang Wanli said with a gloomy face: "Elder Song,"
An old man standing on the right side of the hall came out and saluted Liang Wanli: "What orders does the master have?"
Liang Wanli pointed at Lin San: "Teach him a lesson, I don't believe he doesn't tell the truth."
Elder Song hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards Lin San.
Lin San's face changed drastically: "Master, I am really wronged," as he spoke, he could not help but slowly retreat.
Elder Song flipped his wrist, and a white stick as thick as an arm appeared in his palm. Waves of cold air emanated from the white stick, almost freezing Lin San to death.
Lin San was so angry. He was obviously the victim, but Liang Wanli wanted to torture him. It was really unreasonable.
"Hey," Elder Song raised the white stick and smashed it directly towards Lin San's back. The stick flew through the air and made a muffled sound of "Woooo...", which was enough to show how powerful the stick was.
Lin San clenched his fists and stared straight at the falling white stick, looking like he was ready to fight at any moment.
An arm suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the white stick directly in his hand.
Lin San looked up and found that the person who saved him was actually the Great Elder Dong Hanxiang.
"Senior Brother Dong, what do you mean?" Elder Song frowned.
Liang Wanli also stared at Dong Hanxiang with an unkind expression.
Dong Hanxiang turned to Liang Wanli and said: "Master, the whole story of the matter has not been found out yet. It is not appropriate to torture Feng Chen now."
"Elder Ding was so angry that he fainted. Can't he explain the truth of the matter?" The meaning of Liang Wanli's words was very simple. If Elder Ding had not been wronged, how could he have been so angry that he fainted.
"Maybe Elder Ding is just faking it," Lin San suddenly muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Liang Wanli shot Lin San with his sharp eyes.
By now, Lin San didn't have much scruples anymore. He rubbed his neck and said, "I said Elder Ding was pretending to be faint in order to evade responsibility."
"Hiss..." Many elders took a breath. This Lin San was very courageous. He actually dared to dismantle the leader Liang Wanli in public.
Liang Wanli laughed angrily: "What a pretender. In your eyes, is Elder Ding so shameless?"
Lin San curled his lips and said nothing, but looking at his expression, he seemed to agree with Liang Wanli's words. Lin San was not a religious man. If he finally got a chance to punish Elder Ding today, Lin San would definitely do it to death.
"I'm asking you something, answer me," Liang Wanli seemed to be in love with Lin Sanmao.
Lin San licked his lips: "In my heart, Elder Ding is indeed a shameless villain."
"How dare you dare to humiliate Elder Ding like this," Liang Wanli slammed the table next to him.
"Crash..." The table suddenly broke and fell to the ground.
Lin San looked directly at Liang Wanli: "Elder Ding robbed my master's relics, and then tried to kill me to silence him. Isn't this kind of behavior shameless?"
"Nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that Elder Ding robbed your master's relics," Liang Wanli shouted.
Lin San sneered: "Does the master have any evidence to prove that Elder Ding did not rob my master's relics?"
"Uh..." Liang Wanli was speechless when asked. However, as the leader of a sect, Liang Wanli still had a very high level of intelligence. His face sank, and he pointed at Lin San and said, "You, a little disciple, actually dare to It's really daring to openly contradict me..."
Dong Hanxiang took a step forward: "Yes, Feng Chen will be severely punished for contradicting the leader. Let's do this. I will take Feng Chen back to the Alchemy Pavilion and punish him as a coolie."
Liang Wanli frowned and said nothing.
"Master, don't you believe me," Dong Hanxiang asked.
"Well... of course not, I just think..." Dong Hanxiang is the great elder, and Liang Wanli still needs to have some respect.
"That's it, I will take Feng Chen back right away and punish him severely." After saying that, Dong Hanxiang picked up Lin San who was kneeling on the ground and strode out of the Tiantai Temple.
Looking at the backs of Dong Hanxiang and Lin San leaving, Liang Wanli looked very ugly. He was not stupid. On the surface, Dong Hanxiang seemed to be helping him vent his anger, but in fact, he was trying to protect Lin San in a different way.
…
On the road.
As Lin San walked, he secretly looked at Dong Hanxiang.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Dong Hanxiang said suddenly.
Lin San suddenly stopped and bowed respectfully to Dong Hanxiang: "Thank you, Elder Dong, for saving your life."
Dong Hanxiang smiled: "Whoever saved you, I will take you back to work as a coolie."
Lin San shook his head: "If it weren't for Elder Dong's protection, I would have been executed by the leader by now."
"You are overthinking, the leader is not such a cold-blooded person," Dong Hanxiang said.
Lin San didn't want to talk about the leader Liang Wanli anymore, so he deliberately changed the topic: "Elder Dong, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say," Elder Dong waved his hand.
"Why does Elder Dong defend me?" Lin San asked the question in his heart. You must know that Dong Hanxiang and himself have nothing to do with each other, let alone any friendship. Logically speaking, Dong Hanxiang should not defend himself in this way.
Dong Hanxiang pondered for a moment: "I saved you because of Elder Zhu's face,"
"My master," Lin San was stunned.
"Your master and I are brothers in the same discipline after all. I can't just watch his apprentice suffer injustice," Dong Hanxiang sighed.
"Elder Dong, thank you," Lin San said sincerely.
Elder Dong smiled and walked forward.
Lin San hurriedly followed.
Less than half an hour later, Lin San, led by Dong Hanxiang, arrived in front of a magnificent manor. The manor covered a large area and was surrounded by a bluestone wall more than ten feet high. At the door were two bronze doors. , a gatekeeper disciple stood on both sides of the gate, and a plaque hung on the door beam with the three characters "Alchemy Pavilion" written on it.
"This is the Alchemy Pavilion, and I am the elder in charge here," Dong Hanxiang introduced.
At this time, the disciples guarding both sides of the door came over and bowed to Dong Hanxiang.
"No courtesy," Dong Hanxiang waved his hand.
The two disciples straightened up and returned to stand guard at the door.
