Just when Changsheng lowered his head and looked down, Zhang Mo pulled him and turned around slowly. This move was intended to show everyone that the clothes on his back were also damaged, and the shape of the damage was also a five-finger palm print.
At this point, the truth is revealed. Ge Zaoshan's Five Thunder Palms can penetrate the heart and move forward and backward. Although Changsheng took the elixir at the critical moment to save his life, and it was no longer possible to examine his injuries, but the clothes in his middle palm had withstood five With the power of thunder palm, this time Zhang Mo used a little power of thunder palm to impact Changsheng's whole body. The piece of cloth that had previously withstood the power of five thunder palms was overwhelmed and broke and fell.
"Luo Shunzi, do you want to come over and compare the shape and size of the palm prints?" Zhang Mo asked with raised eyebrows.
Luo Shunzi's face was ashen and he was sweating profusely.
Zhang Mo pointed at the palm mark on Changsheng's chest and asked angrily, "Look at where you used your palm and the force you used. What grudge does he have against you? You are so cruel. You will definitely kill him quickly, and then kill him peacefully..."
"Zhang Mo, shut up!" Zhang Bingyi scolded sternly.
"Father, my little sister didn't say anything wrong." Zhang Shan supported him.
At this time, the truth had come to light. Luo Zhengzi, Luo Xianzi and others were dumbfounded and had no shame to refute.
Unlike Luo Shunzi and others who were stunned and lost their composure, Master Dachun, the master of Gezaoshan, had an ugly face, but he remained calm. After a brief pause, he said in a deep voice, "Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. Unfortunately for the mountain gate, something like this happened. Poor The Dao is in charge of the mountain gate and should handle matters fairly, and all the Daoists in Gezao Mountain must obey orders."
Hearing Master Dachun's words, everyone in Gezao Mountain looked at each other at the same time and said, "I respectfully accept the teaching decree."
"Luo Shunzi's moral conduct has fallen short. He will be removed from the abbot's post immediately, his Taoist credentials will be removed, and he will be expelled from the school." Master Dachun said seriously.
When the truth came to light, Luo Shunzi knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life, so he fell to his knees as if he were mourning his heir.
Master Dachun continued, "Qiu Tianshun is the son-in-law of Pindao. Pindao has selfish motives. Although he expelled him from the mountain, he kept him in martial arts, thinking that he would protect himself after leaving the mountain."
Dachun Zhenren finished speaking, but no one answered. No matter how he answered at this moment, it would be wrong.
Master Dachun said to Luo Shunzi, "Qiu Tianshun, you can go ahead and take care of yourself in the future. Don't let me regret leaving you to cultivate."
Luo Shunzi was despairing. He looked at Master Dachun and stood up from his knees. Then he turned back to look at Zhang Mo and Changsheng. He wanted to say something but stopped talking. Finally, he lowered his head and turned around, leaving the scene in despair.
Although Luo Shunzi's fate of being ruined was purely his own fault and deserved it, Changsheng did not take pleasure in getting revenge. The reason why he rushed into the square desperately was not to avenge himself, but to seek revenge for his master Lin Dongyang. It's fair to say that now his original intention and purpose have been achieved. Everyone knows why Master Lin Dongyang risked the world's disapproval, and they all know that Master values love and justice. But even if everyone in the world knows the truth, what does it mean to Master? , the woman that Master likes has gone with someone else.
Seeing Changsheng's depressed mood, Zhang Mo frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you sympathizing with him?"
Changsheng heard the dissatisfaction in Zhang Mo's words, shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of Master."
Seeing that Chang Sheng's grievances were clear, Zhang Mo was relieved and patted Chang Sheng's shoulder gently, "Don't be sad, you have already deserved him."
After expelling Luo Shunzi from the school, Master Dachun said again, "Luo Xianzi and Luo Zhengzi are partial to others, bullying the weak and xenophobic, and demote Lu to the next level to serve as a warning to others."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the venue was shocked, especially those in the Taoist sect. They knew the inside story and knew how severe this punishment was.
There are three steps for a Taoist to enter Taoism. The easiest is to take refuge. After taking refuge, one becomes a Taoist monk.
After taking refuge, there comes the process of transmission. Transmission requires mentorship. After transmission, a layman is promoted to a Taoist priest. However, at this time, the Taoist priest can only practice Taoism and understand yin and yang, but does not have the power and ability to draw talismans and practice magic.
Above the transmission of teachings is the conferring of rituals. The so-called conferring of rituals means praying to heaven and granting Taoist priests the corresponding heavenly duties. Only Taoist priests who have been conferred with rituals can practice Taoism and pray for heaven.
The teaching is not accomplished overnight, but is divided into five levels, high and low, and it takes five times to complete.
The first time is the initial award, which is the "Du Gong Lu", and the heavenly title is the sixth or seventh grade.
The second time was for promotion, and he was awarded "League of Power", which was a heavenly title of fourth or fifth grade.
The third time was the additional award, "Five Thunder Barriers", and the title of Tianzhi was the third grade.
The fourth time was for promotion, and he was awarded "Three Holes and Five Thunder Barriers", which was the second rank of the heavenly title.
The fifth time he was promoted, he was awarded "Shangqing Lu", a title granted by heaven to the first rank.
The level of the conferring grade directly determines the level of the Taoist priest's heavenly title. The higher the conferring level, the higher the title, the more spells that can be used, and the greater the power.
There is also a time limit for the five conferments. The initial conferment must be at least three years before you can apply for promotion. The principle of conferring is that no promotion can be achieved without merit and no merit has been accumulated. Even if the initial conferment has been completed for three years, no promotion can be made.
It takes eight years to be promoted before you can apply for additional awards, which is also a waste of time.
If you want to be promoted after being awarded, you have to wait until twelve years later.
Luo Xianzi and Luo Zhengzi were both mountain cultivators with lavender spiritual energy. They were taught the Five Thunder Barrels of the third level. Being demoted to the first level was equivalent to depriving them of eight years of hard work. Such a punishment was indeed a heavy punishment.
Master Dachun continued, "All disciples and disciples who know the truth and fail to report it will have their promotions suspended for three years."
By this time, everyone already knew that the principle followed by Master Dachun in handling this matter was to be strict and serious, without showing any favoritism.
Just when everyone was secretly approving of Master Dachun's handling, Master Dachun said again, "The poor Taoist is in charge of the mountain sect. If something like this happens under the sect, the poor Taoist cannot escape the blame. And for Qiu Tianshun's handling, the poor Taoist is partial." Forget about selfishness, the Dharma conference is over, I have to face the wall for ten years, meditate and wake up."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Zhang Bingyi on the side hurriedly advised, "Junior brother Dachun, there are thousands of people on Gezao Mountain Road, and there are so many trivial things. How can you know everything in detail and know them all? Don't blame yourself."
After Zhang Bing finished speaking, Maoshan's headmaster Daren, who had been silent on the side, said, "Zhang Zhenren's words make sense. Brother Ge, now that the abbot of Ge Zaoshan is vacant, if you stay in seclusion for ten years, who will take charge of the big plans?"
After the two of them finished speaking, everyone in the audience also tried to persuade him, but Master Dachun had already made up his mind and insisted on facing the wall for ten years to reflect on himself and apologize.
Seeing that he could not change his mind, Master Da Ren of Maoshan could only use his trump card, "Senior brother Ge, the blood of the Shangqing lineage, the blood of the three mountains, do you have to force senior brother Zhang to issue the decree of the Heavenly Master?"
Hearing what Master Da Ren said, Master Dachun closed his eyes and shook his head. Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Gezao Mountain are all part of the Shangqing dynasty. Although the three mountains have their own way of doing things, the Celestial Masters of the Longhu Mountain all serve as Shangqing Celestial Masters. He is the leader of all Shangqing branch sects.
After some soft yet hard persuasion, Master Dachun finally decided to face the wall for three years and not miss the next Shangqing Dharma Assembly.
After the dust has settled, the Shangqing Dharma Conference continues.
Although Master Dachun handled the matter impartially, the disciples of Gezao Mountain hated Zhang Mo and Changsheng. Zhang Mo was very angry and did not want to look down upon others, so he took Changsheng down the mountain without waiting for the end of the Dharma assembly. .
When he arrived at a deserted place, Changsheng stopped and turned around, bowed to Zhang Mo and said thank you solemnly, "Thank you so much Mr. Zhang for speaking out and upholding justice for me. I know you don't ask for anything in return, and I can't do anything for you now, but I will definitely do it." Keep it in mind and look for opportunities to repay you.”
"I just did what I wanted to do and what I should do. You don't need to feel bad about it." Zhang Mo did not stop and continued to go down the stairs. When Chang Sheng caught up, he asked casually, "What are your plans next?" ?”
Chang Sheng did not answer. The development of the matter was completely beyond the expectation of Master Luo Yangzi. He had offended Ge Zaoshan at this time, and Luo Shunzi was expelled from the master. Naturally, he could no longer stay in Ge Zaoshan according to Master Luo Yangzi's request. .
"Follow me back to Longhu Mountain." Zhang Mo said.
Changsheng still didn't answer the call. No one likes to live without a fixed place and wander around, and he is no exception. But he doesn't want to go back to Longhu Mountain with Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo has offended Gezao Mountain because of him, and his identity It was also completely exposed. If he followed Zhang Mo to Longhu Mountain, people in the world would definitely slander and criticize him. They suspected that the reason why Zhang Mo helped him was to obtain the martial arts secrets that Luo Yangzi had collected over the years. He did not want to cause trouble to Zhang Mo, nor did he want to give him any trouble. Longhushan is causing trouble.
Zhang Mo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Everyone knows about Luo Yangzi. Many people with ulterior motives are secretly looking for the whereabouts of you and the other four people. You don't know martial arts, and you will be alone sooner or later." Something will happen.”
Changsheng still didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he didn't know what to say.
"What worries do you have?" Zhang Mo asked.
"If I follow you back to Longhu Mountain, people in the world will make irresponsible remarks. I don't want to cause you any trouble." Changsheng shook his head and said.
"You don't have to worry about this," Zhang Mo said casually, "You are still very young, but you keep your promises and love and righteousness. I respect you very much as a person. Come back with me. I will ask my brother to accept you as my direct disciple. From now on, you Just stay in Longhu Mountain."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Changsheng didn't answer.
Zhang Mo didn't rush him, and the two walked down the mountain.
There were a lot of people coming to Longhu Mountain this time. There were more than a dozen carriages and horses waiting in the square. When the carriage driver and his entourage saw Zhang Mo, they hurried over to meet and talk.
Zhang Mo ordered someone to get a set of clean clothes for Changsheng, and then took him to the east woods. He stayed at the edge of the woods and asked Changsheng to change out of the tattered bloody clothes in the forest.
After Changsheng came out, Zhang Mo mentioned the old words again, "Have you made up your mind? Are you going to follow me?"
"Thank you very much, but I can't go to Longhu Mountain with you." Changsheng shook his head.
"Oh, why?" Zhang Mo asked.
"I already have a master, I can no longer be someone else's apprentice." Changsheng said.
"But Lin Dongyang is no longer here." Zhang Mo said.
"No more, he is also my master." Changsheng said.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Zhang Mo said no more, but looked directly at Chang Sheng. There was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, but rather admiration.
Changsheng was a little embarrassed when Zhang Mo saw him, and looked away awkwardly.
"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions. I won't force you, so where are you going next?" Zhang Mo asked.
"I have no idea……"
