During the period when Zhan Chen and the others were trapped in the Illusory Demon Cave, the news of their disappearance also caused an uproar in the Linghe Sect, and the first place where the incident fermented was Yunwo Town, when Li Qiong and Chen Junlan found out that Zhuang Xiaodie and the others had not come back after a month, they were all panicked, and asked for leave from the Disciple Pavilion, and looked for them along the way, but how could they find any clues?

After coming back, the two of them had to report the situation to the guard elder Xu Jianye, because Zhuang Xiaodie was the daughter of the sect master, Xu Jianye felt that this matter was serious, and temporarily suppressed it, and mobilized more disciples to find the four, but to no avail.

Seeing that time passed day by day, in the second month, Xu Jianye felt that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he had to report it to the sect, after Zhuang Weiye learned about it, he loved his daughter very much, put down the affairs of the sect, and came to Yunwo Town with Zhuang Xiaodie's mother Lan Cuiping, waiting for his daughter, at this time he chose to be a father instead of the sect master.

Let's say that the couple climbed high and looked forward to welcoming their daughter's return every day, for nearly three months. On this day, they finally saw three black dots flying in the direction of Yunwo Town in their field of vision.

Zhuang Weiye had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Immortal Yuan, and he was the first to see the situation clearly, he was overjoyed and excited, and shouted to his wife Lan Cuiping: "That's our Butterfly, Butterfly is back!"

Lan Cuiping couldn't believe her ears for a while, after all, after three months of waiting, hope turned into disappointment several times, so this time she watched for a while, and saw that it was really her daughter, so she happily greeted her.

Zhuang Xiaodie saw her mother and hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Lan Cuiping tightly, and shouted: "Mother-"

The mother and daughter shushed for a while, and the people on the side were moved, especially someone like Zhan Chen, who had already lost his parents.

At this time, Zhuang Weiye stepped forward, his face was very stern, as if he had recovered the prestige of the master of a sect, and asked Zhuang Xiaodie, Zhan Chen, and Li Junchen, "What's the matter with you? Why haven't you returned for a long time, and Chen Ruping?"

Zhan Chen was about to step forward to answer, but Zhuang Xiaodie broke free from her mother's arms first, came to her father, and shouted, "Dad." ”

"What's it called?"

"Sect-master. ”

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's all because I ......", Zhuang Xiaodie explained the cause and effect of the incident without concealing it.

Zhan Chen and Li Junchen also had nothing to say, because if they really wanted to investigate the guilt, it would indeed be regarded as Senior Sister Zhuang's "fault", if it was also wrong to save people.

After learning what happened, Zhuang Weiye snorted coldly: "Hmph! I'll settle accounts for you when I go back, and now I'll go with me." ”

"Lao Zhuang, what are you doing here, do you really want to be ruthless to your daughter?" Lan Cuiping stood up to protect her daughter.

Zhuang Weiye scolded: "It's because you are used to her, it will lead to such serious consequences, she is almost dying this time, how long are you going to protect her? It is because we connive at her everywhere, so every time the sect sends her a task, there are always problems, and what bad reputation this has caused to the sect? I must punish today, and I must punish it severely, so as to set an example!"

After that, even if Lan Cuiping tried her best, she couldn't make her husband change his mind after all.

Several people returned to the sect, Zhuang Weiye did what he said, made a big fuss, and immediately convened a temporary elders' meeting, let Zhuang Xiaodie, Zhan Chen, and Li Junchen make statements about the matter separately, and discussed with the elders, and finally punished the three of them.

First of all, Zhuang Weiye said to Zhuang Xiaodie: "Zhuang Xiaodie, you are mainly responsible for this incident, I will punish you to go to the cliff face of the sword to think about it for fifty years!"

"How could it be—" Li Junchen looked at Zhuang Xiaodie in shock.

Zhan Chen didn't understand what this Hanging Sword Cliff was, but looking at Li Junchen's appearance, he knew that this Hanging Sword Cliff would not be a good place to go, and Zhuang Xiaodie was going to stay there for fifty years, so he couldn't help but worry about her in his heart.

However, Zhuang Weiye immediately called him again: "Zhan Chen, Li Junchen, although the two of you do not need to bear the main responsibility, you must also be punished, and you will be punished for serving as a duty disciple in the sect for twenty years, and the three of you can be convinced of the punishment made by the sect!"

"The disciple is convinced!" Zhuang Xiaodie was the first to answer, and Zhan Chen and Li Junchen also had to answer: "The disciple is convinced!"

"Just be convinced, execute it immediately!" Zhuang Weiye said mercilessly, and at the same time, he turned his head to an elder named Hong Xu on the side and said, "Hong Xu, the disciple hall is currently in charge of you." ”

"Yes!" replied Hong Xu.

"Then, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen's duties will be arranged by you. ”

"Yes!"

Hong Xuan stood up, came to Zhan Chen and Li Junzhan, and said to them, "You guys come with me." ”

The two followed him out of the main hall with apprehension and came to the elder lounge of the disciple hall Hongxu, after Hongxu sat down, he smiled at the two of them: "Zhan Chen, Li Junchen, although the sect master said that he would punish you, but this punishment is only the lightest, the sect master still values you very much, and I will give you some proper care in private." ”

"Thank you, Elder Hong!" the two said.

"Okay, here is a list of duty tasks, the two of you take a look first, choose the one that suits you best, and deal with it casually, twenty years will be as fast as it is, and it will pass in a blink of an eye!" Hong Xuan said as he handed each of them a list.

After taking the list, Li Junchen swept it slightly, and quickly made a choice, saying, "I have chosen, I want to go to the Gonggong Pavilion." ”

Hong Xuan nodded and said: "Well, the Chuangong Pavilion is a good place, although you can't get Taoism and exercises, but there are many miscellaneous records of cultivating immortals there, which can enrich knowledge, and I used to be a guard disciple there when I was still an inner disciple." ”

Zhan Chen didn't choose right away, but carefully looked at the list, and found that one of them was the medicine boy who served as the elder of Yan Yan in the Lingyan Pavilion, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he thought, "Yan Yan, isn't that the alchemy master in our sect?" I seem to have heard that this Elder Yan has his own hand in alchemy and refining, and he is the only elder in the sect who can refine the elixir under the immortal rank, I first entered the Spirit Crane Sect, in fact, I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but unfortunately I heard that this Yan Yan never accepted apprentices, so he had to give up, but now there is a position of a medicine boy here, isn't it a godsend?!"

As soon as he thought of the Immortal Rank Pill, Zhan Chen was ecstatic in his heart, not to mention the Immortal Rank Pill now, he had never even seen the Ninth Rank Advanced Pill and the Nine Rank Top Pill, and this elder named Yan Yan must have many such pills in his hands, if he was under his hands, maybe he would have the opportunity to get a few, and from then on, his cultivation speed would be doubled and doubled again!

With his mind already decided, Zhan Chen said to Hong Xu: "Elder Hong, I've thought about it, I want to go to Lingyan Pavilion to be a medicine boy for Elder Yan!"

As soon as these words came out, Hong Xuan and Li Junchen's faces changed.

Seeing their strange expressions, Zhan Chen asked, "Is there any problem?"

Hong Xuan said: "Zhan Chen, I advise you to think about it again. ”

"What's wrong?"

"This medicine boy's position is quite thankless, not only do he have to stay in the Dan room all day long to do chores and take care of the pills, but he is also often reprimanded by Yan Yan's old man. ”

"Is Elder Yan having a hard time?"

"Isn't it difficult? It's very difficult! He has a hot temper, he is arrogant and arrogant, he loves to reprimand people at every turn, and when he doesn't like it, he will hurt people, and several disciples can't stand him before, so he escapes from Lingyan Pavilion! That's why the position of this medicine boy will be vacant for a long time. ”

Zhan Chen could see that even Hong Xuan was quite unaccustomed to this colleague, presumably this Yan Yan was indeed difficult to approach, but this was also a rare and good opportunity, in order to improve his alchemy skills, in order to get the high-grade elixir pill, he wanted to try it anyway, so he smiled and said, "Elder Hong, thank you for your concern, but I still want to try it." ”

"Zhan Chen, you've thought about it!"

"You've figured it out!"

"Okay, I'll do the formalities for you, and you'll go to Yanxia Peak to report in three days!" Hong Xuan sighed.

Coming out of the disciple hall, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen returned to Bijian Peak and went to Mei Qing to say goodbye, but found that Li Qiong and Chen Junlan were there, but there was a little desertion in the main hall.

After the two stepped forward to greet the third girl, they heard Mei Qing shake her head and sighed: "Hey, Zhuang Xiaodie is also self-inflicted, I have repeatedly warned her before, don't worry about it, but she just didn't listen, and now she finally got a fate that she thought about on the cliff of the hanging sword, which is quite light, I hope she can learn a little lesson through this matter, don't do it again, if you do it again, the next time you lose your life." It's just a pity that Chen Ruping fell into the hands of demon cultivators, I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck and a little ......"

Several people listened to her words, and they all showed sadness and were silent for a while, after all, after so many years of being in the same family, there is always friendship.

However, Zhan Chen's impression of Chen Ruping was relatively shallow, and he quickly recovered and asked, "By the way, what is the place of the Hanging Sword Cliff?"

Mei Qing replied: "The Hanging Sword Cliff is a lonely peak more than fifty miles away from here, and it is also a Jedi, where there is no life, only hard rocks, and fierce winds blow all year round, making people unrestful, and it is difficult to enter the state of cultivation. It has always been a place in the sect to punish disciples who have committed major mistakes. ”

"Then these fifty years are not a delay for Senior Sister Zhuang?" Zhan Chen asked worriedly.

Mei Qing shook her head and said, "Not really, if Zhuang Xiaodie can bear that crime, then the Hanging Sword Cliff can also be regarded as a good place to temper his will, according to statistics, after the disciples who were punished there came out, their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, but Zhuang Xiaodie has suffered all these years." ”

A flash of realization flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he finally understood Zhuang Weiye's good intentions.

"Okay, I'm an elder in the sect, it's inconvenient to visit Zhuang Xiaodie, a few of you will go to the Hanging Sword Cliff tomorrow and visit Zhuang Xiaodie for me." Mei Qing said again.

"Yes, master, don't you say we'll do the same. Li Qiong replied.

......

Early the next morning, Zhan Chen and the other four gathered at the foot of the Hanging Sword Cliff, preparing to go up the mountain to visit Zhuang Xiaodie, who was already being punished.
