In a grass nest somewhere in the Haoqi Immortal Sect, He Ling struggled to pull out his head that was buried in the soil, and looked at his deacon token, which contained a sect announcement:
Liu Nian incurred divine punishment and caused heavy losses to the sect. An elders meeting was held to punish Liu Nian. All the elders and deacons in the sect could participate.
Location: Xianmen Main Peak Hall
He Ling's dusty face was filled with anxiety, and he said to himself: "No, I have to help him, he did nothing wrong!"
Somewhere in the mountain stream of the Haoqi Immortal Sect, he crawled out of the scorched earth in a state of embarrassment. Looking at his elder token, he lost his voice and said: "The sect is going to hold an elders meeting to punish Senior Liu Nian. How can this be done!"
Liangran was not worried that Liu Nian would reveal his identity as an accomplice, because in his eyes, Liu Nian had become a saint without flaws.
The main hall of Haoqi Xianmen
"Liu Nian, do you know your sin!" Bai Xingqie sat on the leader's throne and shouted angrily.
In the center of the hall, Liu Nian was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed and his face was haggard. His clothes were in tatters and black wounds were all over his body. He didn't react at all to Bai Xingque's stern questions.
The elders and deacons of the sects standing on both sides of the hall raised their eyebrows. Whether they were members of the outer sect on the left or members of the inner sect on the right, most of them did not look neat and tidy. They were all gray and gray, like survivors in a fire area. As usual, the culprit who caused them to be in such a mess was none other than Liu Nian, who had incurred the punishment from heaven.
Looking at Liu Nian who didn't answer, an old outer sect elder on the left stepped forward and said, "Master, this boy is too lawless.
The things this boy has done have angered Heaven and brought punishment from Heaven. He must be a very treacherous and evil person.
Today, the sect suffered an unreasonable disaster. Countless treasures within the sect were destroyed, and the sect's many years of accumulated foundation were in vain.
Until now, this son still has no repentance. He ignored your inquiries and ignored the sect's etiquette.
How could a person who behaved like this deserve the position of elder of the sect's "inner sect"?
Pindao begged the head of the family to remove this son from his position as the elder of the "inner sect", abolish his cultivation, and expel him from the sect. "
"Pindao seconded the proposal."
"Pindao seconded the proposal."
A group of outer sect elders on the left side of the hall echoed incessantly. After all, Liu Nian's identity was among those arrogant inner sect elders, and he couldn't get along with the outer sect members like them.
What happened today happened to be the time for them to defeat those members of the inner sect who prided themselves on being noble.
The members of the inner sect on the right side of the hall listened to the other party's words and deliberately emphasized the word "inner sect", making it clear that they were using Liu Nian's irregular behavior to represent the members of their inner sect.
Although Liu Nian is not very popular among the members of the inner sect because he was once possessed by a demon, Liu Nian can be considered an older member of the sect. As the saying goes, the inner sect is like a family. Even if they don't want to see Liu Nian, the inner sect members don't really want their family members to be bullied. It's just that it's not worth scolding these guys from the outer sect over Liu Nian.
A middle-aged male cultivator on the right walked out of the queue. He was dressed neatly, with a handsome mustache and a serious and cold appearance. He was He Ling's master and the sect's punishment elder, Bai Qiuming.
Bai Qiuming received news from his apprentice He Wen: His precious daughter has been staying with Liu Nian for the past two days! He didn't really care what happened to Liu Nian, but he was afraid that this disaster was related to his daughter, which would cause trouble. Therefore, he couldn't directly determine whether this disaster was related to He Ling or not.
Bai Qiuming came out of the queue and bowed his hands: "Master, the cause of the matter has not yet been ascertained. Why did the incident of heavenly punishment come about? Whether it was due to a treacherous and evil act that resulted in heavenly punishment needs to be confirmed again and again.
Thousands of years ago, Drunk Immortal developed the "Secret Art of Long Cultivation" by himself, which attracted the jealousy of Heaven and punished him. Drunken Immortal was not a treacherous person, nor did he do any evil. He was punished by Heaven only because of a set of heaven-defying techniques.
Senior Brother Liu Nian has incurred heavenly punishment today. It may not be due to evil deeds. Please investigate clearly. "
"Please let the leader investigate clearly!"
…
Many inner sect elders echoed, showing a spirit of unity to the outside world. After all, the eldest brother of the inner sect, Bai Qiuming, had spoken, and no one was allowed to obey.
"What a joke! Zuixian is such a person. His cultivation vision has already surpassed that of the world. He has discovered the secrets of cultivation. Who is Liu Nian? How can he be compared with Zuixian!" A young monk from the outer sect on the left sneered and looked at The members of the inner sect were protecting Liu Nian, so naturally he could not lose his own momentum.
Bai Qiuming put away his salute, turned around, held his head high, and stood proudly, facing the members of the outer sect on the left side of the hall: "Senior Brother Liu Nian, the elder of the 'inner sect' of my sect, found his spirit at the age of nine, and at the age of twenty-one Establishing the foundation, he became a real person with golden elixir at the age of thirty. To this day, no one can break the record of golden elixir at the age of thirty.
You foreign cultivators, who have been building foundations for at least a hundred years and have little knowledge, can imagine what such a genius looks like. "
As soon as these words came out, the inner sect elders straightened their backs and looked at the group of outer sect members opposite with arrogance.
In short, I have such a classmate, I am proud, I am proud!
The achievement of the golden elixir at the age of thirty is very impressive to them...
There is some panic at the outer door...
"It turns out that he is the youngest golden elixir monk in the legend..."
"Could it be fake?"
"Impossible. Although these guys from the inner sect are unpleasant, they never bother to lie."
…
The members of the outer sect who learned Liu Nian's identity for the first time unconsciously began to whisper. They really didn't expect Liu Nian to have such great achievements.
It turned out that the child from someone else's family was the man in front of him who was covered in charred black.
The member of the outer sect who made the sarcastic comment did not expect Liu Nian to have such great achievements. He intended to ridicule the members of the inner sect, but unexpectedly he made them blush and felt very unhappy:
"No matter how brilliant his achievements are, we cannot rule out the possibility that he has incurred divine punishment for his evil deeds. Moreover, the fact that divine punishment has caused heavy losses to the sect will not change the fact no matter how you inner sect members defend him. Not this!
In my opinion, since Liu Nian belongs to the inner sect elders, it would be best if all the sect’s losses should be borne by your inner sect members! "
When a group of people from the inner sect heard this, they retorted sharply: "Fart! Why should we, the inner sect, bear the loss?
Moreover, I heard from many disciples that they saw Liang Ran, a member of your outer sect, running around carrying a coffin in the sect, and he was followed by Heavenly Punishment, which also caused a lot of losses to the sect!
Maybe you, the outer sect, brought this heavenly punishment upon you, and you plan to blame it on us, the inner sect? "
"That's nonsense! I heard from my disciples that the people running around the sect carrying coffins and carrying heavenly punishments are obviously people from your inner sect, He Ling. Now you are actually beating up people from our outer sect and falsely accusing us. What are your intentions? !
Master, please allow me to have a fight with him on the martial arts stage. I want to teach this person who speaks without words. "
"Why go to the martial arts arena? You can fight here! Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
"Come here!"
"Why don't you come over!"
"Immortal old man!"
"You hairless little brat!"
…
What was originally a solemn elders' meeting turned into a quarrel suitable for all ages...
"Quiet!" Bai Xingqie's calm and authoritative voice brought the hall back to calm.
Bai Xingqie lowered his head and stared at Liu Nian, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and said, "Senior nephew Liu Nian, if you continue to remain silent, this matter will never end."
Liu Nian opened his slightly gray eyelids, and his clear eyes were so upright: "I have nothing to say."
Bai Xingji sighed: "So, you intend to plead guilty!"
"What am I guilty of?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was in an uproar!
"Isn't it a big enough sin to incur divine punishment and cause heavy losses to the sect?"
Whether they are members of the inner sect or members of the outer sect, their words and deeds this time are surprisingly consistent. Because they had only one purpose in attending this elders meeting, to find someone to compensate for their losses.
Being able to say such unconscionable words shows that the control of Liu Nian's mouth is in Liu Danian's hands.
Liu Danian's purpose is very clear, and he will never admit it!
In this world of spiritual practice without surveillance, the best option is to shamelessly deny it. If others cannot find evidence, you will be wronged!
The losses caused by this natural punishment are too great, and he cannot afford to pay for them!
If you want to blame it, blame it on God who turned into a ginkgo!
Liu Nian laughed loudly: "Hahaha, there's no need to blame someone if you want to.
I know that there are many people in the sect who don't like me. Whether they are from the inner or outer sect, they always have a grudge against me.
Today, the sect suffered such a disaster, and you put the responsibility on me. I just spoke with empty teeth and open my mouth. How can I defeat you? "
Liu Nian's words were decisive and firm, and his smile was flawless, as if he had really been wronged.
The monks nearby even had some doubts as to whether he had really been wronged.
"Master! Everyone like us saw with our own eyes that the clouds of heavenly calamity gathered on Haoqi Mountain, and that Haoqi Mountain was the birthplace of this son. The person who incurred the punishment of heaven, even if he was not him, must be related to this son.
This son is eloquent and does things that he dares not to do. How can he deserve to be the elder of the sect? I hope the leader will punish this son severely. "An old monk spoke up.
well said!
That calamity cloud came from his house!
Now the evidence is solid, let’s see how he quibbles!
Hearing this, Liu Nian sneered disdainfully: "If the calamity cloud is with me, does it mean I'm the one who caused it?
As you all know, I have been concentrating on seclusion this year and have never slacked off. If an outsider incurs divine punishment on my Haoqi Mountain, I may not be able to detect it in time.
Everything must be based on evidence. We cannot just listen to your guesses. Even if the calamity cloud appears above my head for the first time, it may not be because of me. After all, I am not the only one under the cloud.
Unless there is something to prove that I did something to cause the heavenly punishment to appear, otherwise it is just your empty talk and you want to frame me. "
"You...you...shameless!" The old monk was choked by Liu Nian's words and had no way to refute, so he could only curse shamelessly.
Liu Nian put on a proud look!
Hey, I'm so shameless, what the hell! Slightly, slightly...
Everyone also saw that Liu Nian was cheating!
The kind of evidence he was talking about? Can't find it at all!
This is obviously looking for excuses to absolve oneself!
It's just such a nonsense excuse, how can anyone believe it!
"What Senior Nephew Liu Nian said makes sense..." Bai Xingqie said seriously with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Some people really believe it!
Both the inner and outer sect members are a little anxious. What is the most important thing about this elders meeting?
It's definitely not about who has the loudest voice when quarreling between the inner and outer doors!
The most important thing, of course, is the loss you suffer.
Who will pay? How to compensate? How much compensation?
But now Liu Nian, the biggest suspect, actually found such a shameless excuse.
The most important thing is that the leader believes in him! …
According to the sect's regulations: If the sect's public property is damaged and the culprit cannot be caught, whoever is responsible for which area will pay for it!
If Bai Xingqie shouted loudly the next second: Acquitted!
Who can these victims go to for explanation?
Regardless of whether what Liu Nian said was true or false, someone had to compensate for their losses.
At this moment, a loud voice came.
"Senior! Don't panic, I'm here!" Liangran shouted loudly while carrying a coffin.
Seeing Liang Ran coming from the distance, the happiest thing was the many elders and deacons on the field. They didn't panic at all. The one who lost money was here!
