"Hello, elder." The disciple at the sixth level of the Golden Core was a little uneasy.
"Well, I heard that there was an attack here a few days ago?" Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to be unintentional.
The Jindan disciple's heart skipped a beat and he respectfully replied:
"Replying to the elders, this is indeed the case. However, the disciples and several bodyguards tried their best to resist at that time. Although the thief was lucky enough to break through the restrictions on a box, he was injured and retreated without having time to check. This matter has also been reported to the sect."
"Well, I heard about it, yes, you did a good job!" Zhang Xiaosheng patted the shoulder of the sixth-level golden elixir disciple heavily and said:
"Where are the bodyguards? Call me and let me take a look."
"Go back to the elders. Set them up in the courtyard next to them. There are two junior brothers there to take care of them. I will call them now." After saying this, the sixth-level disciple of Jindan was about to turn around and leave, thinking that he had to settle them down properly. .
"There's no rush, no rush, you come with me, then go and call that person." Zhang Xiaosheng pointed to another disciple of the fifth level of the golden elixir next to him.
Zhang Xiaosheng walked slowly and chatted about something. The sixth-level Golden Core disciple followed closely behind him. He felt inexplicably nervous. He was not so nervous even when the sect sent someone to check some time ago.
Not long after, six or seven people hurriedly came in at the courtyard gate. Zhang Xiaosheng looked back and saw An Thirty-Nine of the Five Elements Sect at a glance. However, An Thirty-Nine did not recognize Zhang Xiaosheng and even lowered his head. walk.
In fact, these people were all like this. When they suddenly heard that the elders of the eighth level of Nascent Soul of the Chongshui Sect summoned them, they were extremely uneasy. In addition, they already had something in their minds about what happened some time ago, so they were naturally even more frightened.
When several people came to Zhang Xiaosheng, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and said in unison:
"The villain has met the elder."
Zhang Xiaosheng glanced at them lightly and did not ask them to get up. Instead, he turned to the sixth-level golden elixir disciple and said:
"I hope you didn't lie to me."
"Ah...disciple doesn't...dare." The knees of the sixth-level disciple of the Golden Core softened and he almost fell to the ground, but he could only continue to hold on.
Zhang Xiaosheng nodded silently, pointed at an escort and said:
"You, come in."
The escort was the prince of the Longwei Escort Bureau. At this moment, he still had no majesty as a prince. He stood up tremblingly and followed Zhang Xiaosheng to the room. He wanted to look back at the disciple of the sixth level of the golden elixir, but he couldn't. Don't dare.
However, after entering, Zhang Xiaosheng sat cross-legged on the couch and began to practice. The prince could neither stand nor kneel, which was so embarrassing.
A full quarter of an hour seemed to him like ten years had passed. Finally, Zhang Xiaosheng said:
"Go out and call the next person in. If anyone asks you what I asked you, just answer it truthfully."
"Yes, I will resign, villain."
The prince, such as Ru Zhang Er, was confused and didn't understand which song the big brother was singing. But at this time, if he was granted an amnesty, he didn't care about many things and hurriedly left the room backwards.
When I got out of the door, I realized that my back was soaked with cold sweat. The wind outside made me feel chilly, and I couldn't help but shiver again, and then I walked into the courtyard.
He pointed at another person casually and continued to kneel down beside his companion. The elder only allowed him to go out but not leave. What's more, his people were still here, so how could he leave.
The disciples at the sixth level of the Golden Core didn't dare to ask, or even send a message. They just scribbled a few words on the ground and asked:
"What did you ask?"
"I didn't say anything," the prince said in a low voice.
The elders clearly told him to answer truthfully when asked, and he was naturally not afraid.
Unexpectedly, this moment frightened the sixth-level golden elixir disciple. After getting nervous, he began to think wildly. Did he really not ask anything or was the elder not allowed to say anything...
A quarter of an hour later, another person came out, and the answer was still nothing.
The disciples at the sixth level of the Golden Core were even more confused.
…
"The villain has met the elder."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I heard that you were seriously injured for this. Are you recovering now?"
"Thank you for your concern, elder. The sect rewarded me with some elixirs, and the villain has recovered."
"Don't eat those elixirs indiscriminately, they are poisonous." Zhang Xiaosheng said, taking out a few top-quality spiritual elixirs and handing them to the thin man called Monkey.
After the monkey took it, his heart suddenly trembled, and he raised his head in disbelief. There was still an elder of the Chongshui Sect in front of him, and he was obviously the sect leader!
"Intelligence Outer Hall An Thirty-nine has met the sect master!" Hou Hou hugged his fists and bowed heavily. When he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with tears.
The sect leader is actually here, how can we prevent him from being shocked and excited!
"You've done a great job. Now there's one more thing I need your cooperation with." Zhang Xiaosheng got straight to the point.
"But according to the orders of the sect master, my subordinates will not hesitate to die!"
"It's not that exaggerated. You should take care of yourself outside and don't talk about life and death lightly." Zhang Xiaosheng scolded him lightly at first, and then said:
"This mission is not that complicated. It just requires you to identify a person at the appropriate time."
Zhang Xiaosheng briefly stated his plan. The monkey was stunned for a while, but he quickly responded:
"As you command!"
"Well, go out and call the Chongshui Sect disciple in. If anyone asks you, just say nothing."
"My subordinate understands."
…
"What did the elder ask?"
"Sir, I didn't say anything..."
When the sixth-level Golden Core disciple saw the monkey coming out, he knew that it was his turn to go in. As the two passed by, he hurriedly asked, "There were several people here, and the elder had already noticed it, so he no longer worried too much."
But the reply he got was still "nothing", but just like that, it made him even more uneasy.
His master is only at the sixth level of Nascent Soul, and his status in the sect is not as good as Elder Shui Wenxing. If this elder insists on making a fuss about this matter, his master can't stop him. What can he do? Is good.
Entering the room with mixed emotions, the sixth-level Golden Core disciple bowed respectfully, but did not receive any response.
He raised his head slightly and found the elder staring at him coldly. He couldn't help but panic in his heart and his legs were shaking a little.
"I'll give you one last chance to tell the truth."
This...do you want to tell the truth?
If he had said it, the previous report to the sect would have become a lie, and the burden of the crime was beyond his ability to bear. If he had not said it...
He reported that there were three attackers. He managed to protect the sect from losing anything in a deadly battle, and the sect received some rewards. But how did the bodyguards explain it?
Did he say three people according to the original statement, or did he say that he was sent away from the mountain, but in fact only one person came to attack?
With such an attitude, does the elder know the truth, or is he deliberately deceiving himself?
The disciples at the sixth level of Jindan were extremely confused and did not dare to place their bets.
"Why, have you forgotten what happened just a short time ago?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." The sixth-level Golden Core disciple responded quickly, and with a sudden change of heart, he decided to report according to the original version.
He couldn't bear the responsibility of deceiving the sect, not to mention that the master had turned around. If he changed his tune at this time, wouldn't he be handing over the blame to the elder in front of him?
And having said that, if he insists on his original statement, then even if he disagrees with these bodyguards, the elder cannot punish him based on the testimony of a group of bodyguards. He must report it to the sect. As for whether the sect will believe him This inner sect disciple still trusts a few escorts, so that's a stretch.
The most important thing is that nothing is leaked. This is your greatest protection.
The process of reporting was naturally different from the situation in the Dark Thirty-Nine Jade Slips. Zhang Xiaosheng knew as soon as he heard that this was the result of this person avoiding the important and taking the easy in order to avoid culpability, but he didn't care at all.
The disciples of the sixth level of the Golden Core racked their brains to highlight their achievements as discreetly as possible. After narrating the story, they nervously waited for the elder's decision.
"Yes, if all the disciples of the sect are as brave and resourceful as you, why can't they become more powerful!"
Unexpectedly, what he got was a very high compliment. The sixth-level disciple of Jindan felt that happiness came too suddenly!
You bet right!
Those bitter escorts didn’t dare to tell the truth!
That's right, what good fruit can they get from telling them?
"It's all the elders who have taught me well!" The disciples of the sixth level of Jindan flattered him, and everyone carried the sedan chair, right?
"However, the restriction has been broken. No major incident has occurred at this time, so naturally it will be revealed for the time being. However, if there is an accident in this major incident of the sect, there is no guarantee that we will continue to investigate and trace the root cause. When the time comes..."
"Elder, please teach me!" The sixth-level Golden Core disciple was also extremely alert. When he heard the elder speak like this, he knew that he was deliberately protecting himself. Although he didn't know why, it was always a good thing.
"You previously reported to the sect that three people attacked, causing the restriction to be broken. This statement is extremely inappropriate." Zhang Xiaosheng said matter-of-factly:
"If three people come to challenge instead, after you defeat them one by one, the other party will become angry and then attack together. In the end, everyone fights and breaks the restriction of a box."
The disciples at the sixth level of Jindan's eyes lit up when they heard this, how wonderful!
Three people came to challenge, so the purpose was not an important item escorted by the sect. First of all, the nature of the matter became very light.
Then he defeated them one by one and highlighted his abilities.
In the end, he accidentally broke the box's restrictions during the melee. This turned into an accident instead of a long-planned plan. Even if things don't go well for the sect in the future, he can't be blamed on himself.
No wonder he can cultivate to the eighth level of Nascent Soul, no wonder he has a high status in the sect, this elder is the elder!
The sixth-level Golden Core disciple had not been happy for too long. He suddenly thought of something and unconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"The elder is wise and the disciple admires it very much, but there is still a loophole in this matter. Those people outside..."
As he spoke, he made a slight stroke with his right hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
"No, if something happened to those people, wouldn't it look like they were hiding something?"
"But what if someone from the sect comes to check the confession again and something is leaked..." The sixth-level golden elixir disciple tried his best to sound like he was asking for advice rather than questioning.
"Since I'm here, do you still need to ask for the confessions of several bodyguards?" Zhang Xiaosheng was extremely disdainful.
That's right, the sixth-level disciple of Jindan suddenly realized that he still didn't have enough structure. With the support of the elders, there was nothing to be afraid of.
No, I have to report to the Master immediately and use the same tone to prevent the Master from spilling the beans. It is true to say that the Master is not as good as this elder. Why can’t I think of such a way to get the best of both worlds?
Seeing the excitement on the faces of the disciples at the sixth level of the Golden Core, Zhang Xiaosheng sneered in his heart and said gently:
"Okay, let's go out. Let's put this matter aside for now. After all, it is my responsibility. I don't want to be criticized. Some elders in the sect have very poisonous eyes!"
"Yes, disciple, resign." Hearing this, the sixth-level Golden Core disciple no longer had any doubts in his heart. The things he was responsible for transporting did belong to the elder's management. If something went wrong here, the elder would be somewhat responsible.
Presumably this is to avoid being told the truth. After all, the relationship between this elder and several other elders of the sect is very delicate...
The sixth-level golden elixir disciple who walked out of the door shook his head. He didn't dare to think too much about the grievances between the bosses, but with the elders taking care of him, his affairs were safe.
Although I have been affirmed by my master these days, I am still a little nervous. Now that I have received the blessing of an elder, I still don’t know that I am as stable as a mountain. And with this friendship, I am afraid that when I am promoted to a core disciple, this person Even if the elders cannot strongly support it, they cannot oppose it, right?
The sixth-level golden elixir disciple who was in a good mood even hummed a little tune. Suddenly he saw several bodyguards kneeling in the courtyard, and he turned his eyes and said:
"You guys come with me."
…
"Elder Yao, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaosheng glanced at Silver Moon Fox, then at Yao Fu, and asked in surprise.
"When the news about this fellow Daoist Yinyue arrived, the Valley Master was extremely angry. Sect Master Zhang's kindness in sending the letter was unforgettable to Yaowang Valley. However, Sect Master Zhang had arranged for Yaowang Valley in advance and not to act rashly, so as not to alarm the snake and make it inconvenient for the Valley Master to make a big show. I just secretly dispatched manpower to be on guard, and sent me to assist Sect Leader Zhang.”
The medicine master's attitude was extremely respectful, and Fang's surprise when he saw Zhang Xiaosheng was fleeting.
This person is now at the seventh level of Nascent Soul, and the speed of breakthrough is unheard of. What's more, several people in Yaowang Valley who want to ascend to the top are still counting on this person. Moreover, the Hengduan Mountains have surrendered, and the strength of the Five Elements Sect is no longer as strong as that of Yaowang Valley. Weak, how could he regard him as a former junior in front of the leader of a sect.
"That's very good. With the help of Elder Yao, I'm sure of it!" Zhang Xiaosheng laughed, seemingly surprised, but he had already made up his mind. In this case, if Yaowang Valley doesn't send anyone here, the old man of Yaopuzi will be really old. Confused.
"The Valley Master has ordered that this outing will be entirely at the discretion of Sect Master Zhang, but if there are instructions, I will definitely obey them."
"Elder Yao is so polite. We have known each other for a long time. Yaowang Valley and the Five Elements Sect are in the same spirit and are helping each other. We are just cooperating with each other and there is no instruction."
The medicine master's expression became much calmer, and he couldn't help but think highly of Zhang Xiaosheng again.
After Zhang Xiaosheng explained the new plan to the two of them, he naturally received another wave of strange looks, especially from Silver Moon Fox, who seemed a little unbelievable.
Zhang Xiaosheng said a little embarrassed:
"When the two parties are fighting, don't worry too much about the means. It's just that I have to trouble the Master of Silver Moon Hall to make one more trip."
Silver Moon Fox rolled his eyes and cupped his hands and said:
"Yes, Sect Master."
…
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, at dawn, a man holding a long knife came outside the courtyard. His breath looked like he was at the sixth level of the golden elixir, and he shouted loudly:
"I'm here to challenge again. Does that Heavy Water Sect disciple from last time dare to come out and fight again?"
