The outer square of Wuyoumen was crowded with people today, and almost all the disciples were gathered here. On a high platform in the square, a man and a woman knelt facing each other, like a husband and wife worshiping each other. However, this was not a marriage, but a separation between life and death.
Most of the disciples looked at the man and woman blankly, not knowing what happened. They only knew that they were temporarily summoned to the square.
Many disciples in the square were whispering.
"Senior Brother Wang, who is that man? Why is he kneeling in front of Senior Sister Shuiqing?"
"I don't know. I was in seclusion when Master called me out. I'm still confused now."
"Do you think that man is Senior Sister Shui Qing's lover? Look at the way they look at each other, how do they look alike?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister Shui Qing is Uncle Yunlin's proud disciple. Uncle Yunlin has trained Taishang Wangqinglu to a very advanced level. How can her disciple be involved with people in the world."
. . . As a light cough sounded, all the disciples in the audience stopped talking and looked at the nine elders on the stage.
An elder in the middle looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said angrily: "Zhang Shuiqing, as a disciple of Yunlin, you don't practice Taishang's Forgetting Love Record properly, but instead you often wander around in the world, and you are still with the common people. A man has a private life, have you forgotten the sect rules that when a disciple of the Wuyou Sect enters the door, it is the time when the relationship is cut off?" The elder's words were full of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel.
There was an uproar in the audience, and discussions broke out one after another.
"This is too ridiculous. Senior Sister Shui Qing actually made a lifelong private contract with an ordinary person."
"There must be some misunderstanding in this. Although the man is good-looking, he has no cultivation. Can Senior Sister Shuiqing like him?"
"I guess he's good at rhetoric!" . .
"Zhang Shuiqing, do you know your mistake?!" another elder shouted. Zhang Shuiqing raised his head with firm eyes, glanced at Wu Hao in front of him, and said while holding back his tears: "I'm right! Why does the Supreme Being forget his feelings? Is it the same as being ruthless? A disciple can't do that!"
"Do you want to leave Wuyoumen?"
"This disciple has never thought of leaving the sect!"
"Then tell me, what is the first rule of the sect?!"
"I..."
"Tell me!" At this moment, Xiang Qingshui could no longer suppress the tears in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes and slowly recited the commandment: "Any disciple who practices Taishang Wangqinglu must not be emotional, otherwise he will destroy himself. Cultivate yourself and be expelled from the sect." The elder continued to scold: "Since you still clearly remember the sect's precepts, why are you still passionate about ordinary men? Have you forgotten who raised you and taught you? Is this how you repay her for her cultivation?!" Zhang Shuiqing looked at one of the cold-faced female elders, her eyes full of guilt: "I have not forgotten Master's kindness in raising and teaching, but I really I love Wu Hao, Master, I'm sorry!" Zhang Shuiqing knelt down in the direction of Elder Yun Lin, and his cry of grief was touching.
Wu Hao's face was full of tears at this moment, but his mouth was sealed and he could not speak. His whole face was red with excitement, and he could only whimper in pain.
. . The elder who had been asking Zhang Shuiqing continued to ask: "Since you are extremely talented in cultivation, I will give you two choices: either you kill this man yourself, or I kill him for you."
"No! Great Elder, please let Wu Hao go. I promise not to have anything to do with him from now on. Please, Great Elder!" Zhang Shuiqing knelt down in front of the Great Elder and cried heartbreakingly.
Wuyou Sect was founded by Taoist Wuyou three thousand years ago. His famous secret skill is Taishang Wangqinglu. To practice Taishang Wangqinglu requires cutting off the seven emotions and six desires. The more ruthless the heart, the stronger the power of the technique.
The elders of the Wuyou Sect have all cultivated Taishang Wangqinglu to an extremely high level, so they have long lost all emotions and desires. Even when they saw Zhang Shuiqing bursting into tears and begging, they remained indifferent.
Seeing that Zhang Shuiqing was reluctant to kill Wu Hao, the elder stood up and prepared to do it himself. The head of the sect has been in seclusion for three hundred years. The Great Elder has always been in charge of sect affairs, and he is a hard-hearted person. No matter who breaks the sect rules, he will be punished.
When Zhang Shuiqing saw the Great Elder walking slowly, she hugged Wu Hao directly, then looked at her master and begged: "Master! I know I was wrong, please persuade the Great Elder to let Wu Hao go." Hao Ba, my disciple promises not to step out of the sect for three hundred years, cut off the world of mortals, and concentrate on cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Love." There was a hint of unbearability in Elder Yunlin's eyes, but his expression remained indifferent.
Zhang Shuiqing was almost desperate. With a look of determination in her eyes, she looked at the Great Elder and shouted sternly: "Wu Hao and I truly love each other. If you let him die, I won't be able to live anymore. Kill us both!" A rare look of anger appeared on the face of the Great Elder Gujing Wubo. He said in a deep voice: "You unscrupulous disciple, you are so stubborn! You are willing to die for a man. It doesn't matter if you don't want this kind of disciple, then you will do it in the underworld. A pair of desperate mandarin ducks!"
"No! Please be gentle, senior brother!" Elder Yunlin finally couldn't bear to see his disciple die and began to beg the elder.
"No! The commandments cannot be violated!" the great elder said mercilessly. Most of the disciples in the audience couldn't bear to see Zhang Shuiqing die like this. After spending so much time together, they already had a deep friendship as fellow disciples.
Almost all the more than 4,000 disciples knelt down and begged the Great Elder to show mercy, but he remained unmoved. Some of the brothers and sisters who were brothers and sisters with Zhang Shuiqing flew up to the high platform to protect her.
"Great Elder, please open your eyes and let Shui Qing go. If you don't want to, we are willing to live and die with Shui Qing!" Their eyes were firm and their attitude was decisive!
Zhang Shuiqing was deeply moved when she saw her comrades spending time together day and night pleading for mercy for her. However, she did not want to injure them and cried, "Get down quickly! I will bear all the trouble I caused myself!"
"No! We grew up together and have been like brothers and sisters for a long time. We can't just watch you die. You just fell in love with a mortal. What's wrong with this!" These people insisted on not leaving. They knew The sect's precepts cannot be violated, but I also want to try my best one last time, even if I don't succeed, I won't regret it!
"Okay! Very good!" The great elder was completely angry, and with a wave of his sleeve, all the disciples who came to the stage to plead for mercy were blown away.
"Come here! Lock them all in the remembrance room and release them in half a year!" shouted the great elder.
Then a law enforcement elder, with more than twenty law enforcement disciples, flew to the high platform and took away these people who fell to the ground.
Elder Yun Lin suddenly stood up. Although her face was still cold, there was a trace of regret in her eyes. She said to the elder: "Senior brother, I have to raise the disciples by myself!" Although her voice was calm, Neither happy nor sad, but if you listen carefully you will find a tremor in her voice.
The great elder thought for a moment and nodded before retreating. Zhang Shuiqing opened the seal on Wu Hao's mouth, and said with guilt and heartache: "Wu Hao, I'm sorry! It's all me who has caused you trouble! I'm sorry..." Wu Hao's breathing was not smooth because his mouth was sealed for a long time. He took a big breath and after his breathing stabilized, he looked at Zhang Shuiqing who was crying, wiped her tears, and said softly: "Shui Qing, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Even if I die because of you, I I will never regret it!" After saying that, he hugged Zhang Shuiqing tightly, and the pair of fateful mandarin ducks cried heartbreakingly on the stage.
Everyone in the audience was infected by their sincere love. Many people secretly wiped away tears. Then everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "I beg the Great Elder to show mercy and spare their lives. We are willing to do so." Take the punishment on your behalf!" The voices of four thousand people combined together, resounding to the heavens and the earth, deafening, even the Great Elder was shocked, but he remained indifferent.
Elder Yunlin walked up to Zhang Shuiqing and looked at her beloved disciple with reluctance in her eyes. She said softly: "Do you know why I named you Shuiqing in the first place? I just hope that your state of mind will be as flawless as clear water. Ku, your talent and state of mind could have cultivated Taishang Wangqinglu to the extreme, but now you have true feelings for a man, your state of mind is lacking, and I am very disappointed as a teacher!"
"I'm sorry, Master! It's all my disciple's fault. As long as I spare Wu Hao's life, my disciple is willing to do anything!" Zhang Shuiqing hugged Elder Yunlin's legs and cried, begging.
At this time, Wu Hao looked at Elder Yunlin and asked sincerely: "Elder, as long as I die, Shui Qing will be fine? I want a definite answer!" Elder Yunlin still nodded indifferently.
Wu Hao glanced at Zhang Shuiqing tenderly, and then said to Elder Yunlin: "Elder, please take action. Wu Hao is willing to die in exchange for peace and tranquility!" After that, he closed his eyes.
The Wuyou disciples in the audience have a much better impression of Wu Hao. Now they admire him from the bottom of their hearts. They ask themselves, if the same thing happened to them, would they die generously for their significant other?
There was a hint of surprise in Elder Yunlin's eyes. She didn't expect that the man her disciple fell in love with would be so responsible, and she was a little reluctant to do anything.
Zhang Shuiqing, on the other hand, hugged Wu Hao tightly.
"Wu Hao! Don't do stupid things. We will die together. If you die, I will never live alone!" Then she looked at Elder Yunlin, bowed deeply, and said guiltily: "Master! My disciple is unfilial. I have failed to live up to your expectations and your kindness in raising me. I will never be able to repay you in this life. I can only wait for the next life!" After saying that, she and Wu Hao hugged each other, closed their eyes, and waited for death to come.
Elder Yun Lin's body trembled, and two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down. Although he has practiced so much that he forgets his feelings, who can truly forget his feelings, especially when facing a disciple who was raised by his own hands and treated like his own daughter.
But the sect's precepts are greater than anything else, and no one can change them unless the leader personally intervenes. She slowly raised her hand, ready to finish off the pair of fateful mandarin ducks.
The disciples in the audience were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, let alone see this scene. At this moment, a young man stepped on a red sword, drew a rainbow in the sky, and flew towards the square quickly, shouting anxiously: "Senior, please show mercy!"
