Chapter 38: The Four Families
Danxun Peak, Qingluo Palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the middle of the magnificent hall, a bluestone square platform one zhang high, a golden lacquer cloud pattern throne on the square platform, a simple round tripod behind it, Sun Jin is sitting on it, and his face is majestic.
Under the square platform, there are thirty seats on the left and right, and more than fifty white-robed monks sit in it.
There was a person standing in the audience, personable, dignified, it was Zhou Ming, and the words had just stopped at this moment.
"Zhou Ming, as the leader of this North Peak training, but as a result, the disciples who participated in the training were almost killed and injured, are you guilty?" a young man with a pointed nose and small eyes and a gloomy face slowly stood up and said gloomily.
This person is one of the law enforcement elders of the Qingqi Gate Ming Punishment Palace, Wang Gui of the Wang family, who cultivated in the early stage of foundation building.
"That's right! Zhou Ming must give you an explanation for this matter!" An old male voice, slow and indifferent, was none other than the Great Elder of the Qingqimen Gongfa Palace, Li Jie, the head of the Li family, full of silver frost, eagle-eyed falcon nose, and the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building.
"What is the truth of this? In my opinion, Senior Brother Zhou is not only without fault, but has merit! Beifeng suddenly changed, Senior Brother Zhou disregarded his personal safety, fought with all the demon beasts to the death, rescued dozens of disciples in a row, and returned with blood, and now he has brought such important information back to the sect, what is the crime?" A loud voice came from a middle-aged man with a burly appearance and a lofty instrument, Lu Jing in the middle of the foundation building, one of the elders of the Gongfa Palace, and Zhou Ming's best friend in Qingqimen.
"What's the benefit of being noisy? A middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance and charm still existed, and said to Sun Jin on the square platform, it is the great elder of the Dharma Protector Hall in the Qingqi Gate, Zhao Xinying, the head of the Zhao family, who cultivated in the later stage of foundation building.
The inner guardian hall has the right and responsibility to protect the safety of the sect, and is in charge of all the daily affairs of the outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples.
Sun Jin nodded, looked at Zhou Ming, and asked: "Senior Brother Zhou Ming, according to what you just said, after the seventh day of the North Peak training, you found that something was wrong, so you set off from the edge of the North Peak and went deep into the dense forest, and then you found many demon beasts that could not have appeared in the North Peak, even including powerful demon beasts with a psychic period, so why didn't you report to the sect and ask for rescue first? You have been fighting with many demon beasts for many days, in your opinion, where did these demon beasts come from?"
Zhou Ming took a step forward and replied, "Senior Brother Hui, it's true! Although the North Peak is big, it is for mortals, and we monks, even if we are disciples in the Qi Condensation Period, seven days is enough to search the North Peak. According to the previous training of the North Peak, seven days later, when there were disciples returning to the gathering place one after another, but at that time, there was no trace of even one disciple, and the forest was surprisingly quiet, and there was a faint trace of blood. ”
Zhou Ming paused slightly, as if recalling, "I felt uneasy in my heart, so Edgeworth went deep into the dense forest, and soon found a large number of beast corpses and a lot of miscellaneous disciple corpses, I wanted to tell the sect, but unfortunately there was no transmission note, and because I was eager to save people, I searched around, and then I encountered many demon beasts." As for the origin of the demon beasts, I really don't know, I only know that these demon beasts are all ancient demon beasts, and their strength is strong, and they will never appear in the North Peak, or even in the Nankun Wasteland. ”
Sun Jin thought about it, but before he could speak, a cold snort suddenly came from the audience.
"Hmph! It's clean!" Wang Gui sneered, pretending to be grief, "Anyway, the disciples who have experienced the training have suffered heavy casualties, especially the four of us, and have lost a lot of genius children, Zhou Ming is to blame, please order the senior brother in charge to order severe punishment." ”
Lu Jinggang wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhou Ming waving his hand, Zhou Ming said: "Senior brother in charge, I know that I can't be blamed, and I am willing to be punished." ”
Sun Jin nodded and said: "The north peak has suddenly changed, and the ancient demon beasts have appeared strangely, something unusual will happen, or there will be a big disaster, or there will be a heavy treasure in the world." This matter must be blocked from the news, we and other foundation building period monks, as soon as possible to join forces to enter the North Peak, find out the truth, if there is really a treasure, we must not let other sects know, or even take the lead!"
After a pause, he then said loudly: "Senior Brother Zhou Ming, the leader of the North Peak has been trained, although there is a mistake of improper guarding, but the cultivation of monks is a matter of going against the sky, and difficulties and dangers are constants, not to mention the experience of expeditions? Compared with merit and demerit, let Senior Brother Zhou Ming manage the Qingqi Medicine Garden for the sect for free for 100 years and alchemy for 50 years. ”
At this time, a middle-aged man stood on the left side of the audience, his face seemed to be sallow, but his eyes were restrained and shiny, and he said: "Senior Brother in charge! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, and the middle-aged man who spoke was none other than the law enforcement elder of the Ming Punishment Palace, the head of the Wang family in the later stage of foundation building, Wang Hong.
It's just that although Wang Hong and Zhou Ming have been in the same family for many years, they have no friendship, and in this experience, the children of the Wang family have also suffered a lot of casualties, so it stands to reason that he would not intercede for Zhou Ming, at least not as deeply righteous as he said on the surface.
Sure enough, Wang Hong spoke again, "As for the punishment, everyone is the same family, and this time the North Peak accident, the fault is not all on Senior Brother Zhou Ming, as long as Senior Brother Zhou Ming refines a bottle of gold pill for my Wang family as compensation, my Wang family will no longer be held accountable, and I also ask Senior Brother in charge to give a light punishment." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted differently, some snickered, some sneered, some were angry, and some were indifferent.
The golden pill is a high-level treasure pill, extremely precious, the golden pill period is taken by the following monks, which can increase a trace of the monk's induction power to the metal aura or spiritual objects in the short term, and the lucky ones can even increase it permanently.
However, there are a lot of raw materials required for the golden pill, and the success rate of the Cheng Dan is extremely low, and the most important thing is that to refine the golden pill, it is necessary to add a wisp of the natal power of a monk with a metallic spiritual root.
And the power of natal life is the origin of the spiritual root of the monk, the foundation of cultivating immortals, if the natal power is lost too much, it is likely to damage the spiritual root, cultivate to fall, and even become a mortal.
It is extremely difficult to refine the golden pill, but Zhou Ming, as a Xuanling root monk with three colors of gold, wood and earth, although his cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation building, he is extremely skilled in alchemy, and he happens to know how to refine.
"If there is a golden pill, my Li family is willing not to pursue it anymore, and at the same time, I ask the senior brother in charge to take it lightly. Li Jie said slowly.
"Everyone is in the same family, why bother to deceive people too much! Since the decree of the senior brother in charge has been issued, then obey the order of the senior brother in charge!" Lu Jing said loudly with anger on his face.
Sun Jin and Zhao Xinying looked at Wang Hong and Li Jie, and then glanced at each other, their eyes were understanding, and Zhao Xinying said: "Senior Brother Lu is reasonable, and we will follow the will of Senior Brother in charge." ”
At this moment, Qingyue's voice sounded in the audience: "Can you listen to me." ”
