The scene in the hall at the moment was extremely chaotic. If they were not concerned about their face, these academicians with extremely high status might have rolled up their arms and sleeves and started taking action.
But even with what it looks like now, if the students outside see it, their eyes will probably drop in shock.
Who would have thought that academicians who usually seem to be highly respected would now be quarreling like shrews in the hall, making their faces red and thick-necked?
Some of them went too far, arguing face to face, spitting spit on each other's faces. Could it be that they were used as weapons?
Although Meng Yifan had a headache, he still had to speak out to stop the argument. After all, looking at the looks of these guys, it was estimated that the argument would not come to an end by night, and he couldn't hold it in!
At the same time, he was also curious about what tonics these old men took on weekdays, and why did they talk so fiercely?
"Ahem... Academicians, please stop for a moment, stop for a moment!" Meng Yifan pressed his hands and said.
Then the arguing stopped for a moment, and the old men turned to look at him, and then continued to argue.
Meng Yifan put his hands on his forehead, speechless! I'm really convinced, why don't I give you face? In desperation, he could only speak again and shouted:
"Everyone, be quiet!" At this time, the square-faced old man in black and white Confucian clothes said to Meng Yifan:
"Vice President Meng, please wait a moment, wait until I take down this old man first!" Meng Yifan's face darkened when he heard this, thinking that you are too incompetent to speak, and you always talk about that old man.
Why do you keep the word "vice" on your lips? It really is! Besides, by the time you finish arguing, the day lilies will be cold!
Of course, he knew that this square-faced old academician was not a bad person, he just had a straight temper, spoke in a rude manner, had a short temper, and always offended many people inadvertently.
But because of his seniority and knowledge, not many people dare to cause trouble for him easily! As soon as the square-faced old man finished speaking, the skinny old man opposite him mocked disdainfully:
"Just you? It's not that I underestimate you, but you are hundreds of years too early to argue against me!" After hearing this, the square-faced old man became furious and said:
"I don't believe it yet!" Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Meng Yifan quickly separated them and at the same time winked at Xie Yuan who was below.
The latter understood it, cupped his hands and said:
"Dean Meng, fellow academicians, according to what the students said this time, it was indeed Xuantian Sect who set up the trap first, and we acted out of self-protection!" As soon as these words came out, all the academicians present fell silent. moment.
In fact, they knew the whole story of this incident from the beginning, and the facts were very clear. The reason why there is such a debate mainly comes from a letter, a letter sent from the Xuantian Sect Elders’ House!
As mentioned in the letter, the fact that Qian Duoduo, an expatriate disciple of the academy, was kidnapped by the Xuantian Sect is completely false. Instead, it is claimed that it was all caused by Liu Chuang and
The purpose of the conspiracy set up by the "Thousand Puppet Sect" is to obtain the imperial-level skills that Zhou Tuanxi and his party obtained in the ruins.
Lin Yan and Yuan Hao, whether they were kept in the dark or knowingly, participated in the actions against their Xuantian Sect, so the Presbytery requested the academy to hand over these two people for severe punishment!
Especially Lin Yan. According to Elder Wu De, he was very likely to collude with a mysterious master to brutally kill Elder Zhou Tuanxi. He must be allowed to reveal the person behind the scenes!
As for Liu Chuang, although he committed a heinous crime and killed Elder Shen Nian with great ferocity, he thought that he was dead and no longer targeted his body.
However, the academy must remove him and tell the world! As soon as the content of this letter was published, it immediately caused an uproar!
Different attitudes towards the matter have led to this controversy. The skinny old man snorted coldly and said:
"Xiao Xie, you are still too young! What the students said is only their side of the story. Even if we believe it, do you think people from the Xuantian Sect will believe it?" Xie Yuan, who was below, gave a bitter smile. His usual status in the academy Not low, at least much higher than Liu Chuang. After all, where is the strength of the middle stage Xiantian realm!
But facing these old guys, call him
"Xiao Xie" he could only hold his nose and endure it. If we really want to talk about it, he is just a junior.
Take the two old men who quarreled the most. The square-faced academician is named Tu Lie. He has a fiery personality and is from the academy.
"Conservatives" follow ancient rituals and worship the sages. They believe that literati have their own character and should follow the straight path.
And the skinny academician is Qin Zheng, who is from the academy
"Revolutionary". Unlike Tu Lie, he believes that today is different from the past. As the academy is declining, we should actively seek ways to reform and strengthen cooperation with other forces.
For example, the Xuantian Sect, which is at its peak, is a good choice. The two factions usually don't deal with each other very well. They have many differences and deep conflicts. This incident is undoubtedly the fuse that completely detonated it!
After listening to Qin Zheng's words, Tu Lie flicked his sleeves and said:
"Old man, don't teach the younger generation bad! Didn't you, an old boy, just get a letter from those old immortals in the Xuantian Sect's Elders' House? Why are you pretending to be so pretentious?" Qin Zheng was furious when he heard this, thinking this in his heart Didn't you slap him in the face?
Then he said angrily:
"Tu Lie, stop putting on airs for me! You don't know the weight of the joint letter from the Xuantian Sect Elders' House! Now that the dean is not here, do you really think you want to settle this matter without paying any price? "
"Once things get serious, will you bear the responsibility or me? If it turns into a dispute between the two religions, you will be a criminal in history!" Tu Lie pointed at Qin Zheng and said:
"Qin, please stop scaring me. I'm not scared to live at such an old age! What's wrong with Xuantian Sect? What about the Elder's House? Let me tell you, they are just trying to beat me up. They are extremely shameless. If you have the ability, come face to face. Confrontation!" Qin Zheng sneered and said:
"I'm not telling you that you are still so naive after living so old! Let me ask you, what's wrong with confronting you face to face? The disciples of Xuantian Sect insist that Zhou Tuanxi was deceived by people from the 'Thousand Puppet Sect' , and the person behind the scenes is Liu Chuang."
"Now, the two elders who are involved are dead. Is it possible that you can still dig them out from the soil? They can completely say that the testimony of our students is only one side of the story and is a prepared statement in advance. , I won’t recognize it at all!” Tu Lie clenched his fists, paced back and forth excitedly, and said:
"Confusing right and wrong and distorting facts, is there any royal law left?" Qin Zheng sneered and said:
"Wangfa? What is the status of Xuantian Sect? Ask the emperor of Li Tang if he dares to use his king's method to take care of this matter? Does he dare to take the initiative for the academy?" Tu Lie's face was ashen. But I also understand that it is difficult for secular royal laws to restrain the three religions.
If it's just some ordinary disciples, it's okay. Once it involves high-level officials, the secular dynasty usually stays out of the matter. At most, it acts as a mediator, in order to prevent the fight between them from causing dynasty turmoil, that's all!
If they have to interfere in the affairs of the three religions, make ugly remarks, and make judgments about right and wrong, it will be embarrassing!
At this time, Meng Yifan came out to smooth things over and said:
"There is still some time, and this matter will be discussed later. The top priority is to deal with the funeral affairs of Professor Liu Chuang and other students who sacrificed their lives. This is more important and cannot be delayed any longer!" Anyway, we can't reach a conclusion for a while. , academicians from both groups agreed to Meng Yifan's proposal.
Tu Lie was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Zheng's argument, but for a while he couldn't find any strong reason to refute it. In the end, he was so angry that he walked away and kept saying as he walked:
"That's not true! That's not true!" After a while, the academicians left one after another, leaving only Meng Yifan and Xie Yuan in the hall.
At this time, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was really those old academicians who were too difficult to deal with!
Although these academicians have been temporarily stabilized, the matter is still far from resolved. In the final analysis, Liu Chuang's performance this time is too amazing!
In fact, it stands to reason that Zhou Tuanxi of Xuantian Sect set up a trap to intercept and kill the academy group, and Liu Chuang and others were the real victims.
However, who would have thought that facing a group of masters, Liu Chuang would kill several enemies in a row, and even kill Shen Nian with a single step of innateness. This really shocked everyone, and at the same time made the old guys of Xuantian Sect feel sincerely afraid!
If Liu Chuang is allowed to continue to grow, he will definitely become a formidable enemy. Fortunately, Liu Chuang died, but they did not intend to expose the matter easily. Instead, they took advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits.
After all, two elders died this time, which can be regarded as a heavy loss! If this matter is revealed easily, doesn't it mean that anyone can come and touch the people of Xuantian Sect in the future?
So what's the point? As for who is right and who is wrong, this is not a question they consider. What they care about is Xuantian Sect's dignity that cannot be challenged!
The Council of Elders already knew about Lin Yan's unusual behavior from Zong Zhui and other disciples, and also understood Zhou Tuanxi's speculation about him.
And with the end of this interception, this guess has become infinitely close to the truth, and this truth is enough for them to take action regardless of their identity.
At this moment, Meng Yifan was also very angry, but he had no good solution. The reason why Xuantian Sect dares to be so arrogant is simply because their fists are big enough!
Meng Yifan sighed and thought:
"'A scholar who is useless is a scholar'! The ancients have never deceived me!" You try to reason with others, but they are unreasonable and use their power to suppress others. What do you think you can do?
At the same time, he was also very puzzled. What secrets did Lin Yan have that deserved Xuantian Sect to name him?
According to what I learned from Xie Yuan, there are many doubts about the death of Zhou Tuanxi and others. It is not necessarily Liu Chuangdao's hand, then there may be others.
Also, Zhou Tuanxi must have a plan for arranging this interception, and the object most likely is on Lin Yan's body.
"It seems like we need to talk to him again as soon as possible!" Meng Yifan thought, and ordered Xie Yuan to prepare for the funeral of Liu Chuang and other victims as soon as possible. At the same time, he must let Lin Yan come to see him again before the funeral.
Xie Yuan took the order and left, leaving Meng Yifan alone in the palace. He walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and he couldn't help but become more and more irritated.
I caught a glimpse of the letter from the Xuantian Sect Elders' House in the corner of my eye. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. Then I reached out to copy it and tore it into pieces!
He kept cursing:
"Damn Xuantian Sect! You've bullied people too much! You've bullied people too much!" Then he calmed down, looked at the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, and said:
"Dean, when will you come back?"
