Shangguan Wuhui was surprised. He had never heard of Situ Mingyue, but Jiang Qiushi was one of the top three elite disciples of the Yin Yang Sect. He really didn't expect that one day his life would be saved by the best person in the sect.
"It turns out to be Senior Sister Jiang, Senior Sister Situ. Wu Hui is so polite." Shangguan Wu Hui hurriedly saluted, but he heard Situ Mingyue say, "Don't be so cliché. I help you fight and have to send you back. It's really troublesome."
As soon as Situ Mingyue spoke, Shangguan Wuhui immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and blushed. This made Situ Mingyue very happy, "Don't be embarrassed, after all, everyone has his own opportunity. I guess you haven't practiced for long."
"Senior sister, I became an inner disciple twenty days ago." Shangguan Wuhui replied sheepishly.
"What?" This time Situ Mingyue was surprised. Because the so-called outer sect disciples are just servants who do odd jobs in the sect, and at most they only know some unskilled skills. Only when you become an inner disciple can you start practicing martial arts and techniques. Candidates who can become inner disciples must either have amazing talents, or have strong family background and have trained them since childhood. She had seen that Shangguan Wuhui was a talented person, but she could not imagine that he could grow to such an extent in just twenty days.
"Sister, is he...?"
"Junior sister, don't be suspicious. Send Wuhui to a safe place first." Jiang Qiushi remained calm.
This place was five hundred miles away from the sect. It was impossible for Shangguan Wuhui to find the place where he cut down the diamond wood, so he had to choose to return to the mountain gate first. Jiang Qiushi also nodded in agreement, and then he held out a flying sword. The flying sword was full of light, just like the diamond carvings of Shangguan Wuhui's previous life. It was extremely beautiful. The flying sword quickly grew in size and stopped at Jiang Qiushi's feet. She signaled Shangguan Wuhui to jump on it. Shangguan Wuhui was a little at a loss.
"What are you talking about? If Senior Sister asks you to go up, just go up. I will send you back as soon as possible so that we can continue to play." Situ Mingyue said, and he also flew into the sky with his own bright yellow jade ring.
Shangguan Wuhui never thought that he would ride a flying sword and experience traveling thousands of miles a day. He arrived at the distance of five hundred miles in less than half an hour, as if he was dreaming. Thanking the two senior sisters again, Shangguan Wuhui watched them leave, thinking that one day, he would travel across thousands of mountains and rivers with his magic weapon.
He now understands Yunzong's footwork, and his speed is no longer what it used to be. He first returned to his residence, put the books back, and after checking that there was nothing he could leave behind in the room, he went straight to the Hall of Merit, the main peak of Tianji Peak. The Merit Hall is a special place where disciples are rewarded and punished for their merits and demerits, and where they receive and return tasks in exchange for merit points. On the main peak of Tianji Peak, this is the only place where inner sect disciples can enter and exit, but in other areas, only those who are eligible to go up must be summoned. .
As soon as he entered the Merit Hall, he happened to see the water manager who was hosting the martial arts competition that day. Shangguan Wuhui saluted immediately, and the old man asked, "Wuhui, today is not the time for punishment. Are you in trouble when you return now?"
"Director, I'm really ashamed. I haven't cut down enough diamond trees yet, and I've lost my token to enter the mountain. I'm here to plead guilty and ask Shui Lao to punish me."
"Haha, the water manager has always been unselfish. If you were punished and went back to the mountain without permission, it is already an extra level of crime. And losing the token to enter the mountain is a serious crime. Not only will you be removed from the list, but you will also have to destroy your cultivation." The person who spoke was speaking. It's Han Jiao. He hates Shangguan Wuhui with all his heart.
"Han Jiao is in charge. Isn't it too hasty to punish the disciples without asking any questions? Do you want to turn our Merit Hall into a one-word hall?"
"Yang Qingfeng, you, why are you always against me? I'm just an inner disciple. He makes mistakes one after another. If he doesn't get punished severely, won't he ruin the sect's atmosphere? Let the water manager make a decision."
"Okay, stop arguing. Shangguan Wuhui, can you plead guilty?"
"Sir, this disciple pleads guilty."
"According to your fault, you will be deprived of martial arts and expelled. Can you accept the punishment?"
"Absolutely not! Chief Water Manager. How could Shangguan Wugui lose his token when he was so good? How did he return to the sect? Where did the token go despite its positioning function? If you don't understand these problems, you will punish a disciple at will. , I'm afraid it will make people laugh. Besides, Shangguan Wuhui has excellent qualifications. If he abandons his martial arts, I'm afraid it will be our sect that will be damaged."
"Hmph! Yang Qingfeng, I have tens of thousands of inner disciples in Tianji Peak. Do you still care about Shangguan Wuhui?" Han Jiao was simply furious because he never expected that Shangguan Wuhui could come back alive.
"Yes. In that case, Shangguan Wuhui, please tell me what happened." The water manager heard this.
Shangguan Wuhui told the story of how he entered the back mountain, how he was hunted down and his token was broken, how he abandoned the diamond wood and fled. He didn't say a word about how he killed the assassin and met Jiang Qiushi and Situ Mingyue. carry. Shangguan Wuhui's words were more true than false, and there were no flaws, so they had no choice but to believe them.
"That's nonsense! How could you, a mere inner sect disciple, be hunted down? I'm afraid you deliberately destroyed the token and then fled back to the sect to avoid punishment." Han Jiao was aggressive.
"Hmph! Shameless!" Yang Qingfeng snorted coldly. No one could guess why Shangguan Wuhui was being hunted, but there was no evidence.
"Two stewards, I think Shangguan Wuhui is indeed telling lies. His own experience is really not what we want to see. This matter will be investigated and dealt with afterwards, and the truth must come to light. But as far as Shangguan Wuhui's fault is concerned, first of all, he has not completed it The task, and the loss of the token, can be described as adding mistakes to mistakes. As for punishment? There is no way to escape being removed from the list, but it would be too harsh to abolish his martial arts and cut off his livelihood. So I decided to remove Shangguan Wuhui from the list, and then let Han Manager Jiao will flog him." Manager Shui finally made the decision, but Shangguan Wuhui was not happy. Because he has seen that these stewards are fighting overtly and covertly. The water manager arranged such a light punishment as flogging. Firstly, he did not know the respective forces behind Han Jiao and Yang Qingfeng, and secondly, he wanted to test whether Han Jiao was related to the assassination, and he Shangguan Whether he lives or dies without regrets is just a victim of their game.
"Disciple is willing to be punished."
"Shangguan Wuhui, you, you are doing well. Alas!" Yang Qingfeng could only sigh often when he saw that he could not protect Shangguan Wuhui.
"Okay! Without further ado, Han Jiao is in charge, you come to give the whipping. Qingfeng is in charge, you come to jail." Shangguan Wuhui's last trace of impartiality to the water manager was gone at this moment.
"Qingfeng is in charge, please." Han Jiao looked like a villain who had succeeded. As he spoke, he used his magic power to lift the bamboo board on the torture rack beside him. At this moment, Shangguan Wuhui had confessed his crime and was already ready to be punished. Han Jiao's face turned cold. There was a "pop!" sound, and his back seemed to be broken. "Wow!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was unconscious. personnel.
"No regrets, no regrets, wake up..." Shangguan Wuhui felt a warm spiritual power coming from his spine, and he faintly woke up. He raised his eyes and looked around. The water manager and Han Jiao were gone. It was Yang Qingfeng who saved him.
"You finally woke up. I couldn't save you because I was incompetent." Yang Qingfeng apologized, and Shangguan Wuhui felt a warm current in his heart. Because as Yang Qingfeng, there is no need to feel guilty about himself. Shangguan Wuhui felt his body and felt like he was struck by lightning because he couldn't feel his lower limbs! His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he didn't expect that the tragic experience in his previous life would happen to him again!
"Thank you, Manager Yang. My spine is broken and I have become a disabled person. You don't have to feel sorry for me. This is my life! Please send me down the mountain." Shangguan Wuhui regained some energy after his face turned ashen. Because his soul is still strong, he can still accomplish many things compared to his previous life.
"No, no regrets. It's my fault that I failed to protect you and allowed the gangsters to harm the disciples of the sect. But please give me time to heal you before leaving." Yang Qingfeng said, regardless of whether Shangguan Wuhui or not. Agreeing, he picked him up and drove the flying sword back to his residence.
Shangguan Wuhui really didn't expect that he, a useless person, would be cared for so much by the sect's steward. At this moment, he couldn't act independently and could only let it be arranged.
Yang Qingfeng placed him in his side room and checked his injuries. Shangguan Wuhui also used his soul to check the condition of his spine, and found that it was not completely disconnected. This was probably because of the absorption system and the effect of the chalcedony pill, which saved the last bit of hope.
"Wugui, although your injury is serious, you are still expected to stand up again. You inner disciples have only received martial arts secrets and some simple cultivation spells. I will make an exception today and teach you the marrow-cleansing and hair-cutting techniques that only inner disciples can learn. "Yin Yang Marrow Cleansing Technique". You can leave after recovery, but do not tell others that you have learned this method."
"Thank you, Manager Yang." Then Yang Qingfeng explained the essence of the Yin-Yang Marrow Cleansing Technique in detail, and used Qigong to help him move the heavens. Shangguan Wuhui has practiced the whirlwind ax technique these days, and also used the Yunzong footwork desperately when escaping. The strength of his body and meridians has been greatly improved. However, the spinal cord in his waist was seriously injured at this time, so Yang Qingfeng was helping him move. When you are done, use your own spiritual power to slowly repair it. Shangguan Wuhui felt all this and was extremely moved.
After an hour of exercise, his spirit improved a lot, but spinal cord injuries are very difficult to repair. Yang Qingfeng also told him many things to pay attention to in basic practice. However, what makes Shangguan Wuhui strange is that the absorption system no longer has any prompts, as if it has been shut down. Perhaps Han Jiao's blow was too powerful and the absorption system couldn't bear it and collapsed, Shangguan Wuhui thought.
"No regrets, just stay here and recuperate while I go out to deal with some sect affairs." Before leaving, Yang Qingfeng left another pill and told him that the injury would be completely healed in half a year at most, so he should be more open-minded.
