Li Shuidao and six others were taken out of the trial canyon by the disciples from the white-clothed auditorium and entered a spacious room.
While the other six people were waiting, Li Shuidao was invited into another room alone.
There, an older disciple took Li Shuidao's information and checked it carefully.
After a while, the old man finally found the target. He smiled at Li Shuidao and said, "Congratulations, you have obtained 700 meritorious deeds in this canyon trial."
The old man continued to explain: "Voluntarily sign up to participate in the canyon trial and get one hundred meritorious deeds. The first game is a card wrestling battle. If you win, you will be rewarded with one hundred meritorious deeds."
The old man continued: "In the second card wrestling match, you defeated two white cards and gained two hundred meritorious deeds."
"In the third game of wrestling with license plates, you fought one against three, and won the battle, earning three hundred meritorious deeds."
"Do you have any objection to getting seven hundred meritorious deeds in this trial?" the old man asked.
"No objection." Li Shuidao shook his head.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and handed Li Shuidao a signature: "Then sign it."
Li Shuidao took the signature, read it carefully, and then signed his name without hesitation.
"Your merit file will be kept in the merit hall, and you and your successors can check it at any time." The old man packed up the signature and said.
"Senior, how do you transfer your merits?" Li Shuidao asked.
"You want to transfer the merit to the family?"
Li Shuidao nodded.
"Go to the Hall of Merit to handle it," the old man said.
"Thank you, senior."
"Go." The old man waved his hand, and Li Shuidao left the room and waited in the big room.
Then came the second person...
Everyone sat in this large room, silent and cautious.
hall!
not simple……
Law enforcement hall = Yamen police officer.
Auditorium = Yamen Master + Official Master.
Just as Li Shuidao was sitting upright, waiting for the formalities to be completed in the auditorium, a demure female disciple in white slowly walked into the hall.
She glanced at everyone and asked softly: "Excuse me, who is Li Shuidao?"
Li Shuidao was stunned for a moment, stood up and replied, "I am Li Shuidao. I wonder what happened to the girl?"
"Come with me, someone wants to see you." The female disciple said with a smile.
Li Shuidao frowned and didn't even take a step, obviously he had doubts.
The female disciple in white obviously saw that Li Shuidao had doubts, so she smiled and explained: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, it's usually a happy event to find someone in our auditorium. Please come with me."
Li Shuidao relaxed a little and followed the female disciple in white out of the big room.
The two walked along the stone path, passed through the winding courtyard, and gradually went deep into the courtyard. The red light of the setting sun shines on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the light and shadow are mottled.
After a while...
They came to the door of an elegant study room.
The female disciple in white gently opened the door, and Li Shuidao walked into the study. The study room was peaceful, with paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls and bookshelves filled with ancient books. A calm and elegant atmosphere filled the room.
Behind the desk, a woman wearing black plain robes sat quietly.
She was gently twisting an ancient book with her slender fingers, her eyes focused and deep.
Li Shuidao felt that this woman exuded a unique temperament, like an orchid blooming in the dark night.
Li Shuidao was slightly shocked, feeling a little confused and curious. He walked up to the woman, bowed slightly and saluted: "Li Shuidao has met you, I wonder what you want from me?"
The woman in black and plain robes raised her head, her bright eyes like stars, gentle and mysterious. She smiled and said to Li Shuidao: "Fellow Daoist Li, please sit down."
"I don't dare." Li Shuidao stood aside respectfully.
The woman in plain clothes smiled faintly: "My name is Lan Huaying, and I am a spiritual practitioner like you. You don't need to be too formal. You can just call me Senior Sister."
Li Shuidao: But you have a high official position.
Lan Huaying?
This name seems to have an impression, but I can't remember it at the moment.
Li Shuidao frowned and sat down.
"May I ask Fellow Daoist Li, which family he belongs to?" Lan Huaying asked with a smile.
"Shenmu City, Li family." Li Shuidao answered with his fists clasped.
"Who is the disciple?"
"The disciple of the golden-faced man."
"Years?"
"Sixteen years old."
"How long has it been since you started?"
"Two years."
"Why the same ginseng?"
"toad."
"What exercises do you practice?"
"Toad Hard Qigong."
"Is there a match?"
"some."
"That famous lady?"
"My wife is a mortal, not a descendant of a cultivating immortal family." Li Shuidao explained.
"Do you have any heirs?"
"Not yet."
"Yes, my family background is innocent." Lan Huaying nodded and looked very satisfied, then took a deep look at Li Shuidao, and then continued to ask: "So, are you familiar with the rules of this sect?"
"The family set up a school and asked the disciples to learn the sect rules from an early age. The disciples were very cautious and never exceeded the rules in the slightest."
The woman nodded, with a look of approval on her face: "In that case, I want to take the exam."
"What is the first rule of this sect?"
"Be loyal to the Five Poison Sect and always put the interests of the sect first, followed by the interests of the family and then personal interests."
"Article 2?"
"Respect your teacher, be respectful in your words and deeds."
"Article 3?"
"Except for trials, fellow sects are not allowed to kill each other, and they are not allowed to kill fellow sects without authorization."
…
Li Shuidao looked focused and answered fluently. He was obviously very familiar with the rules.
"Very good... It seems that you are indeed memorizing everything. Then I will test you with a somewhat difficult question. If you can answer it, senior sister will be rewarded." Lan Huaying said with a leisurely look.
"Senior sister, if I can't answer the question or give the wrong answer, is there any penalty?" Li Shuidao asked carefully.
"Of course not. Our auditorium is not a law enforcement hall, and we will not deal with the disciples at will."
"Then please ask Senior Sister to give the question." Li Shuidao said respectfully.
Lan Huaying pondered for a moment and said slowly: "A disciple of our sect was robbed of a fellow disciple by a fellow sect, so he went to the Law Enforcement Hall to file a complaint, but instead he was extorted 100 jade coins by the Goukan Guards. How should this matter be handled?"
Li Shuidao blinked.
How to deal with this?
You have been blackmailed, how dare you file a complaint?
If this matter is taken care of, will the Five Poison Sect still be considered a demon sect?
This idiot deserves it!
Li Shuidao thought for a moment and then said: "This hook and sickle guard violated Article 76 of the sect rules. The monks of the Law Enforcement Hall must be impartial and must not violate the law for personal reasons."
"Then what punishment should he receive?" Lan Huaying asked.
"It should be disciplined by the Law Enforcement Hall." Li Shuidao replied.
"Do you think the Law Enforcement Hall will discipline its own hook and sickle guards?" Lan Huaying asked.
"Then it depends on what the superior in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall thinks." Li Shuidao said after considering his words.
"Then what do you think Shangxiu should think?" Lan Huaying asked again.
"The purpose of cultivating our sect is naturally to put the interests of the sect first."
"Slippery! Let me ask you, will your sect's superior cultivator take care of it?"
"I will take care of it." Li Shuidao replied after thinking for a while.
Lan Huaying looked into Li Shuidao's eyes and asked very seriously: "How should we manage it?"
"This... of course we should arrest this person and punish him as a warning to others." Li Shuidao replied cautiously.
"How do you think the punishment should be?" Lan Huaying asked again.
Li Shuidao looked embarrassed. The rules of the Five Poison Sect were very broad and there were no specific details at all. All interpretation rights belonged to the auditorium.
"Although this person only extorted one hundred jade coins, his behavior was extremely bad. He should be ordered to apologize, return the money, and be fined double." Li Shuidao thought for a while and said.
"Hmph! What kind of punishment is being so frivolous?" Lan Huaying said with a cold snort.
"Then what does Senior Sister think we should do?"
"In troubled times, we should use heavy codes. I think killing him can serve as a warning to others." Lan Huaying said coldly.
"Senior Sister Lan is indeed very clever. She hit the nail on the head. In troubled times, heavy codes must be used." Li Shuidao followed her words and said.
Li Shuidao: I will never quarrel with an official and bring trouble to myself. Whatever you say is whatever it is, I agree with everything and support it with both hands, as long as I am not allowed to kill people.
"Yes, not only do you have a clean family background and are familiar with the rules of this sect, but you also have good knowledge. What's even more difficult is that you are upright. Let me ask you, do you want to join the Law Enforcement Hall?" Lan Huaying asked solemnly. .
