The four or five disciples next to Liu Jun also said together: "We saw it really clearly. It is indeed the one surnamed Lu."
Lin Fuzhang hurriedly said: "Master nephew, do you dare to confront Master Lu Xian?"
"Then why not?"
Zhou Shu thought for a while and said: "This is a serious matter, so we should not jump to conclusions. I don't think Lu Xiaoyou is an evildoer. But there is no harm in being cautious, and a confrontation is not a bad idea - Elder Lin."
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go and ask Master Lu to come over, and you must be kind to him. If he refuses to come..."
"Master, if that kid refuses to come, disciple, go and tie him up!"
Zhou Shu glanced at Liu Jun:
"If he refuses to come, I will personally visit him."
Liu Jun felt regretful:
You brat, you actually bothered Master to come to the door in person, I really belong to you!
Zhou Shu said: "Elder Lin, you are busy. Bring little friend Lu to my study - let's stop here today and let's break up the discussion."
Liu Jun lowered his head and smiled, and winked at the disciples around him.
…
Lu Yuan Cave Mansion.
"Oh? The leader invites me to his study?"
"Well," Lin Ling blushed and said a little shyly, "Originally, grandpa came to tell you. But he had something to do, so he asked me to come."
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I'll go right away."
He asked Lin Ling to lead the way and soon arrived at Zhou Shu's study.
The study is simple and elegant, burning with fine golden sandalwood incense.
Lu Yuan entered the room and took a look.
Zhou Shu, Lin Fuzhang, Elder Miao and five or six other elders who had met at the banquet were all sitting on chairs drinking tea.
Seeing Lu Yuan coming, Zhou Shu smiled and said:
"Little friend Lu is here, please take a seat."
After speaking, he pointed to an empty seat next to him and asked him to sit down.
"I've met the leader. I've met all the elders."
Lu Yuan bowed his hands in salute, sat down calmly, and drank tea.
Zhou Shu looked around at everyone and said:
"Let's wait for Liu Jun. Let's discuss it together when he comes."
After Lu Yuan took a sip of tea, he gently put down the teacup and said with a smile:
"Master, Liu Jun won't be here for a while."
"Oh? Why?"
"Haha, he saw me come out and was rummaging through things in my cave."
Lin Fuzhang wanted to snicker, but then he suppressed it.
An elder next to him asked: "Little friend Lu, how do you say this?"
"What should I say? I have to ask Senior Brother Liu Jun about this. Oh, he won't come until very late. Why don't we ask someone else."
"Ask someone else?" Everyone was surprised.
"Little friend Lu, important materials were stolen from Tianyuntang today. Some people said they saw you going there. The matter is so important that I still have to ask you to come and find out. It's just that Liu Jun went to your cave to look for it, and I really didn't know about it. "
"Haha!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "No matter how hard he looks, he can't find it, because I brought it."
"Bring it?!" Elder Miao said angrily, "Boy, do you know how delicate those fairy grasses are? If you put them in Rong Ring, you will die. They can only be placed in special fairy grass bags!"
"Don't worry, I still have this bit of common sense. So I only said to bring it with me, but I didn't say to take it with me."
Lu Yuan clapped his hands, and then a blue light flashed between his eyebrows.
Ten breaths later, a figure flashed in from outside the door.
A young man with short purple hair and sharp eyes appeared in front of everyone.
He was also holding a monk by the collar.
The monk was wearing black clothes and had two small light green bags hanging on his waist. He was a little dizzy and couldn't stand.
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled at Ji Mie, then looked at the people around him: "Everyone, do you recognize this monk in black?"
Elder Miao took a closer look and said with a livid face: "Eh? Why are you a disciple of my Tianyuntang?"
Ji Mie released the black-clothed monk: "Tell everything. It's absolutely safe here."
The monk trembled and knelt down, stammering:
"Master, spare your life! Elder, spare your life! I...I...don't...others force me!"
Zhou Shu asked: "Why are you forcing me?"
"Force me...to put...the dry sun grass and the netherworld flower...in the cabinet...in the cave of Master Lu's cave."
"ah?!"
There was an uproar in the study, and everyone found it unbelievable.
"Yesterday I... I took the talisman that the man gave me and asked me to wait for Master Lu to attend the banquet... sneak in and break... break Master Lu's protective formation... As soon as I entered, I was... attacked by this red The monk was... caught.
"I was imprisoned in the Immortal Master's Cave for one night. This morning, the red-haired monk... took me to hide outside again, saying that... he would go out together after hearing the Immortal Master's signal.
"Head! Elder! I didn't do anything! Spare my life! Spare my disciple's life!"
After saying that, he took out the two fairy grasses from the pouch on his waist and placed them on the table.
Zhou Shu's eyes were bright: "Who instigated you?"
The monk looked at the people around him in fear, his lips were trembling and he did not dare to speak.
"Say!" Zhou Shu's eyes flashed with mystery.
The monk immediately felt a huge spiritual pressure, so heavy that he could hardly breathe!
"Yes...yes...Senior Brother Liu Jun."
"Liu Jun?!" Everyone burst out in disbelief.
Zhou Shu stood up slowly, looked at the door and whispered: "Liu Jun...Liu Jun!"
He stabilized his emotions and said: "Elder Lin, Elder Miao, Elder Huang! Liu Jun should be in Master Lu's cave at the moment. Go and bring him quickly!"
"Yes!" the three of them replied together.
"In addition, those people who echoed Liu Jun this morning and said that they saw Master Lu going to Tianyuntang were all isolated for questioning!"
Elder Wu, who was in charge of the sect's punishment, immediately took the order and started investigating.
…
"Master, this disciple has been wronged!" Liu Jun was very arrogant.
"Stop making excuses. The witnesses and material evidence are all there. Do you have anything to say?"
When Liu Jun saw his former accomplices and the disciples in black walking in from the door one after another, and saw Elder Miao placing two fairy grasses on the table, he was immediately dejected and speechless.
Lu Yuan looked at him with cold eyes, no expression on his face.
Zhou Shu said again: "Liu Jun. You should know that as a direct disciple, there are many fiery eyes watching you from behind. You must withstand the test! Once you go down, there will immediately be many disciples to take your place. I hope You take care of yourself."
Hearing the words "replace the position", Liu Jun knelt on the ground and trembled:
"Master...Master, this disciple will never dare to do it again!"
"As a master, you will be punished by guarding the northwest border of Jingrong Prefecture for one year. When you return, the sect's reward will be reduced by two levels."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
There is boundless desert in the northwest of Jingrong Prefecture, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters. It is a terrifying and dangerous place.
An elder whispered: "Master, will the punishment for guarding the border be..."
"You don't even ask for mercy! It's not easy for me to control your behavior outside, but I will never allow such strife within the Xuanji Pavilion!"
Zhou Shu paused and then said:
"And the most important thing, Liu Jun, kneel down and apologize to Master Lu!"
