Just when this undercurrent was surging, there was a special dialogue between master and disciple within the sect.
Do you still remember that Senior Brother Peng?
It was when Yan Shuang encountered danger for her life for the second time that she was stalked by a guy with a weird yellow eye and red pupils. The man first stared at Yan Shuang with that weird eye, letting him fall into the illusion, and then followed up. He wanted to stab Yan Shuang to death with one sword! It was at that time that Senior Brother Peng risked his life to save Yan Shuang. Just when Yan Shuang was about to be pierced by a sword, he knocked him away. However, he was seriously injured by the sword, but he finally saved Yan Shuang. Come down.
Tang Ping saw this scene in her eyes at that time. At that time, she concluded that the senior brother Peng who rescued Yan Shuang was probably a spy, and it was also a spy who was inserted by Jiu Genyuan. Then she told Lu Shuang about this. Well, after Lu Shuang returns to the sect, naturally these things will be truthfully reported to the elders.
The person who was supposed to be heavily rewarded for saving Yan Shuang was suddenly suspected of being a mastermind. Naturally, the Wuling Sect was cautious and sent people to investigate and actually found out that the disciple named Peng had some irregularities in his origins. He then called him in for detailed questioning. In the end, Senior Brother Peng was unable to justify himself and finally admitted his identity as Xizuo.
Then there was a conversation between Senior Brother Peng and his master, a senior Jiuxuan named Lian.
In Senior Lian's cave, a black lacquered wooden chair was placed in the middle of the huge hall, and a serious middle-aged man with a black beard was sitting there.
Senior Brother Peng saw his master when he walked in. He knew that his final fate would be today.
Walking in and stepping forward, Senior Brother Peng respectfully saluted his master.
"Master"
Senior Lian didn't speak. He looked up and down at this disciple who had been with him for many years with two sharp eyes, looking at him carefully as if he didn't know him. After a long time, he said:
"The number of disciples I have accepted is quite small. I think I have a good grasp of the situation. I never look at the background of my disciples, only their character. As long as they enter my door, I will train them carefully. I dare not let this master and disciple down." Every time I think about this love affair, I feel quite proud of myself. I think that by fulfilling my duty as a teacher, I can always gain some dignity as a teacher. But who would have thought... humph... I actually became a joke!"
After hearing what his master said, Senior Brother Peng knelt down with a "pop" and said:
"To this day, the disciple does not dare to deceive the master. The disciple... indeed entered the Five Spirit Sect after being entrusted by Jiu Genyuan. I thought that the disciple would just be an idle chess player and would not achieve anything great. I don’t even dare to have bad thoughts towards Wuling Sect and Master. I was originally a foolish disciple, but I didn’t expect that my mentor would not give up and accept me as a disciple. For so many years, I have been practicing and doing things sincerely, and I have never dared to do anything like this. A trace of dissatisfaction. The teacher’s kindness is profound. What the master has done to his disciples over the years, the disciples naturally understand in their hearts and know that it is difficult to repay him. But this is what makes me, a disciple, feel more and more guilty in my heart and hate myself deeply. If it is not an innocent origin, the disciple will definitely follow the master wholeheartedly, but... But after all, the disciple is..., this time he was sent by the sect to protect the original girl Yan Shuang of Jiu Gen. If she had a millionaire First, it would cause great damage to both sects, so the disciple rescued her. The disciple knew that doing so would definitely arouse others' suspicion, but he couldn't care so much. Even if he died because of this, it would still be better than living every day. It’s much better to live in conflict.”
After hearing this, Senior Lian remained silent. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"The sect informed me of this matter when they found out your origin. I really didn't expect that the disciple I had high hopes for turned out to be a craftsman!"
When he said this, Senior Lian's voice became fierce and the hall was buzzing, but his tone soon softened.
"But looking at your past over the years, there's nothing wrong with it. Alas, if it hadn't been for all these things, you wouldn't have revealed your identity, and you would probably have stayed by my side in the Five Spirits Sect. If that's the case, who knows whether it's a blessing or a curse! It's also considered a good fate for you. Now that Wuling Sect and Jiugen have an original alliance, and you saved Yan Shuang at a critical moment, you will be considered a credit. In addition, that girl Yan Shuang begged the sect, so the sect will not deal with you. How to deal with you, the sect will completely leave it to me to decide, do you understand?"
Senior Brother Peng naturally understood, kowtowed to Master again and said:
"Master, please decide."
"You can also see that your senior brothers are not here today. I have sent them away. If I kill you, your senior brothers will definitely have to understand clearly, but I am still more or less It’s okay to care about the master-disciple relationship for many years! Listen carefully!”
Senior Lian was silent for a while and then continued:
"From now on, you are not allowed to call yourself my disciple again. This is one. Second, I want you to leave the Wuling Sect from now on and go back to where you came from. This is what I will do to you. You listen. do you understand?"
Senior Brother Peng's body stooped and trembled: he was expelled from the master, expelled from the sect, but he left himself a life!
He was about to be expelled just after he had made great achievements and was seriously injured before he recovered. It seemed cold but helpless.
After all, Senior Brother Peng is a master of craftsmanship. In the world of cultivation, no matter how big or small a sect or aristocratic family, no matter what extraordinary achievements a monk has made and how much glory he has received, as long as he is found to be a hidden practitioner, If you work carefully, your end will be much worse than that of Senior Brother Peng. You often have to undergo inhuman torture before dying to extract some valuable information. This is because of one reason: you are a craftsman who harbors evil intentions!
How great it would be if I had a clean origin!
Senior Brother Peng sighed in his heart, took a deep look at his master, and then thumped his head on the ground with a "thump" sound.
"Thank you, my mentor, for not killing me!"
"Well, then...just go!"
This senior brother Peng is also an honest person. He never thought about it from beginning to end: What if I didn't save Yan Shuang!
After kowtowing, Senior Brother Peng took off his master's jade pendant from his waist and placed it respectfully on the ground where his head had just been hit. Then he stood up, saluted solemnly, turned around and bowed his head. If you don't come back, just leave.
But as soon as he left the cave, Senior Brother Peng was pulled over by one of his close friends. The senior brother looked at him with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally stuffed a heavy, bulging small bag into his hand. Then he said:
"Master gave this to you to keep for future use."
At this point, Senior Brother Peng finally couldn't bear it anymore. His nose was sore and his eye circles were red. He covered his face and ran away from the Five Spirit Sect.
(The author reminds: Dear readers, please remember this Senior Brother Peng. Although I did not give him a name and only gave him a surname, please remember him because he will appear again later. Remember him so that he does not appear again. It appears abrupt when it appears.)
…
Almost at the same time that Senior Brother Peng was expelled from the sect by his master, there was also a pair of master and disciple talking in a cave in Jiuxuan.
The owner of this cave belongs to Senior Tian Zhi'an Tian, and this Senior Tian is Ma Hu's mentor.
At this time, Senior Tian, who was one of the "Five Unreasonables" in the Wuling Sect, was angry from somewhere and was about to vent all his nameless evil fire on his incompetent disciple.
Senior Tian also looks like a middle-aged man. His cheekbones are slightly higher than those of ordinary people, his forehead is slightly shorter, his eyebrows are sparse, his cheeks are fleshless, and his eyes are shining brightly. He has uneven black hair with a A wooden hairpin was tied haphazardly behind his head, and he was stroking the few black whiskers under his chin with his hands and staring at Ma Hu.
Often when his mentor had this expression, Ma Hu knew that he would at least be scolded, so even though he was injured, he put on a flattering smile and said carefully:
"Master, hey, who made you unhappy?"
"Who?" Senior Tian's voice was a bit sharp and harsh, and the sudden sound made Ma Hu tremble. "You have the nerve to ask me who I am? Come on, boy Ma, tell me carefully, your What's the future? Hmm! It's okay that I took two sword blows for a woman, almost died, and I haven't found any advantages. It's good now. I was called over to interrogate a prisoner, and I went through it. Those guys doubted you. Why do you think you and Yan Shuang are not related to each other, so why do you risk your life to save her twice? That’s why people suspect you are just a trickster, do you know that?"
"What!" Ma Hu immediately became angry when he heard this, "Which...which guy said that?"
In the end, he didn't curse, and he knew that he had to abide by some rules in front of his master.
"Hmph! They are all big shots with high status, they are powerful guys that your master can't afford to offend, let alone beat. They are all powerful old men in the sect!"
Tian Zhi'an said a series of sharp and mean words.
"How...they..."
Ma Hu's face really turned red, and his chest heaved up and down. He was obviously very angry, but he immediately thought of something and asked hurriedly:
"Then...what did Master say?"
"Me? Huh! I'll tell those old guys directly that my apprentice is just like his master. He is a lustful disciple. He can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. Naturally, he can't bear to be raped when he sees a stunning beauty. Of course, when someone is killed, they must be saved before they can continue to take advantage. A living beauty is better than a dead beauty, right?"
"Uh...Master is right!"
I have to say that it was quite satisfying for his master to rebuke those old guys like this, and it also touched Ma Hu's heart.
"Hmph! Don't talk about that for now. Boy Ma, you willingly suffered two sword blows for that girl named Yan Shuang. To be honest, do you have a crush on her?"
"ah?"
"to be honest!"
"Master! You have also seen that little beauty named Yan Shuang. She looks so... Isn't it normal for a disciple to be tempted? It would be a pity that she was killed!"
"You look like a loser!" Tian Zhi'an couldn't help but scolded Ma Hu when he saw the greedy and intoxicated expression on his face when he mentioned Yan Shuang, "Then I ask you, you have to think carefully before answering. Are you just trying to play a game?" Or do you want that girl Yan Shuang to follow you from now on?"
"this……"
"Think about it carefully. I can tell you that Yan Shuang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you want to just play a game and run away after tasting the sweetness, huh, I would advise you not to do this, lest you You’ll get yourself into a lot of trouble, but..."
Having said this, Senior Tian came closer to Ma Hu, stared into the eyes of his beloved disciple, and said word by word:
"If you really want her to follow you for the rest of your life, huh! My teacher has ways to help you!"
"ah!"
Ma Hu felt his heart pounding so hard that the injuries on his chest ached a little.
"Ah what!" Tian Zhi'an suddenly raised his voice, "I'm asking you, do you want that girl named Yan Shuang or not?"
"Yes! Hehe... yes, master!"
Senior Tian glanced at his precious apprentice strangely, and muttered with disgust:
"You're worthless, you're just hanging on a tree!"
"hey-hey!"
"Yeah, but that girl is not bad. Asking her to be your wife is not an insult to you. Since you agreed, well, I will make a good plan for you as a teacher in the future to ensure that you get what you want. When you give the wedding ceremony together, I want to see how those old guys who said my apprentice is a toad have the dignity to drink this wedding wine!"
"ah……"
Only then did Ma Hu realize that the master wanted to fulfill him just for a gamble.
"But, good disciple," Tian Zhi'an put on a smiling face again, "Why do you still practice Qi now? This matter will have to wait until you build the foundation, but your master, I can't hold back this tone for so long. , we still have a way to find out the bad luck of those old things, but I don’t know if you are willing!"
Ma Hu felt a chill on his back when he heard this, and asked with a trembling voice:
"Master, what can I do?"
"Come here with your ears..."
That day, Elder Tian Zhi'an, who was furious and furious, personally tied up his disciple Ma Hu, who had just made great achievements, had neither been rewarded nor was seriously injured, like a rice dumpling. Break into the meeting hall within the Wuling Sect!
After arriving at the hall, the notorious Elder Tian immediately threw his beloved disciple in front of the noble elders, shouting that he had captured Xizuo and let these old guys take care of themselves. Check, check carefully!
It doesn’t matter how long it takes to check!
No matter how much I check, it doesn’t matter!
Tian Zhi'an only wants the truth, innocence, and justice!
As long as it is proven that Ma Hu is a craftsman, he, the master, will cut off his head with his own hands in front of many elders!
But if the investigation is not true or this Ma Hu is not a craftsman at all, then Tian Zhi'an will be asking for an explanation!
Why are we, master and disciple, so wronged!
Why!
The scene at that time could be said to be a mess. Many elders with white hair and beards surrounded Tian Zhi'an in embarrassment and tried to persuade him not to continue messing around. However, more people were afraid of Tian Zhi'an's nonsense and dared to stay away from him. Watching the excitement, some people even gloated and snickered! A group of old men with white beards and white hair were noisy and chaotic, one after another, extremely noisy, coupled with Tian Zhi'an's sharp voice, Ma Hu was lying on the ground howling with great grievance and wiping away tears. The usually solemn and solemn meeting hall was as lively as a market, and finally forced several elders who suspected Ma Hu to apologize to Tian Zhi'an master and apprentice, and then the master and apprentice left with satisfaction in the fearful eyes of everyone. Got it!
