Chapter 310: Gambling Contract!
"Elder Tu is polite. ”
This sect elder is afraid that he has reached the age of ancient proper, his old face is full of furrows, but his back is quite straight, he looks old and undecrepit, and his spirit is good. Seeing Elder Tu saluting, she showed a fleeting smile, and then she lowered her face, "The sect sent an old man to come here, and there are a few questions to ask. ”
Elder Tu straightened up and said flatly, "Elder Zhong, excuse me." ”
"May I ask the elder, who wants to use this batch of medicinal materials?" the elder surnamed Zhong of the sect said in a slightly cold voice.
"It's a junior. Without waiting for the master to respond, Liu Heng replied first. He has already been prepared for the storm, and there is no reason for his own affairs to let the master stand in the way of the storm, so naturally he will block it first, so that the master can have room for maneuver.
"Good!"
Elder Zhong snorted sharply and turned to Liu Heng, "Elder Tu's identity token is a heavy weapon of the sect, is it because you are in a hurry to do your own thing and steal the token to do this great crime?"
Liu Heng felt a pang in his heart, something was wrong!
When Elder Zhong entered the door, he felt quite kind, but now he is trying to see the dagger, and without saying a word, he has already characterized the matter as a crime!
Menacing!
Without waiting for him to speak, this time the master spoke first and said flatly: "The old man's own token is carried by him every day, if it is stolen by someone, won't it become a joke? ”
If it was said that the token was stolen by Liu Heng, then the guilty would be great, but when Elder Tu said this, he took the whole matter on himself.
"Elder Tu, the identity token represents the reputation of the sect, how can you be so cheap?"
Sure enough, as soon as Elder Tu spoke, Elder Zhong, who came from the sect, immediately aimed the spearhead at him again, and his voice suddenly sharpened, "The disciple is not sensible. Not only did Elder Tu not scold, why did he accompany him to do such a ridiculous thing?"
Faintly, she also blamed Elder Tu on everything, as she said, Elder Tu is arrogant and indulgent disciples to do wrong, and the crime of teaching children without a way has been implemented.
Anyway, it's going to be condemned!
Liu Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. was about to speak coldly, but Elder Tu still didn't give him a chance to speak, and said expressionlessly: "The identity token is the old man's own thing, as long as it is not taken out and sold, or lost for no reason, it has not violated the door rules." How to deal with it is the old man's own business, and outsiders have no right to question it. ”
Elder Zhong's increasingly powerful momentum was suffocated, and he was almost blocked speechless, because there was indeed no mention of whether the pawn violated the door rules in the door rules. If so. I really can't find fault with the two of them, this can't achieve the purpose of her here.
"Could it be that in Elder Tu's heart, his sense of identity with the sect is already low to the point that as long as he doesn't violate the rules of the sect, it is enough?" Elder Zhong looked indignant and asked sharply, "As an elder of the sect, you should set an example and become a model for the younger generations of the sect to follow. Didn't Elder Tu think about the consequences of doing this? If the news spreads, if everyone in the sect follows suit in the future, they will behave like this. What prestige will my Butterfly Flower Sect have in the future?"
She was full of emotion, denouncing the "big mistake" made by Elder Tu. It's a pity that no matter how serious it is, it still can't move Elder Tu. He was silent, as if he was groaning, and after a moment he said indifferently, "Actually, this is not bad. ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the people from the sect were stunned, but Liu Heng was also stunned.
Suddenly. He remembered when Elder Tu handed him the token. At that time, he was just asking for something of sufficient value, but if I remember correctly, it was the master himself who gave him the token first. At that time, Liu Heng faintly felt that the master's move had a deep meaning, although he hadn't guessed it yet, he did not hesitate to act according to the master's will. Now it seems that Master really had a good intention.
"When the old man was young, there were always times when he was tight on money but needed money urgently, but he couldn't think of a solution. Now that I think about it, I can either pawn my important belongings like crazy, or I can only watch myself and the opportunity to pass by by mistake, because the missed opportunities are unknown, and the more I think about it, the more regretful I feel. ”
Just when everyone was shocked, Elder Tu spoke lightly, but his expression was very serious, "Presumably Elder Zhong should have had the same remorse from time to time, right?"
Elder Zhong was stunned, opened his mouth and moved, but suddenly lost his words.
"Since even we and the others have such remorse, the other fellow disciples must be the same, because I am afraid that there will be more opportunities to miss in my pocket. ”
Elder Tu sighed, as if he wanted to deepen his emotions and infect everyone, but unfortunately his habitual and unwavering look was destined to fail to achieve the effect he wanted, but instead made the corners of his mouth twitch, "The old man is thinking, in this case, why don't the sect members reach out to help at a critical moment?
"But, it'......" Elder Zhong didn't know how to refute, and even she was faintly moved by Elder Tu's words. Yes, if there had been many times when the sect could pull her, maybe she wouldn't have missed so many opportunities, and she would be much stronger than her current self.
Pushing others with oneself, how can most people not be like this?
She could see that the two sect deacons who followed her had already been moved by the words, and she had to admit, "This is indeed a good suggestion, but Elder Tu, the identity token is very important, even if you want to do this good deed, you don't have to use the identity token to do child's play, right?"
Elder Tu looked at her and asked, "Imagine that in this situation, without affecting their own combat strength, what important things can the sect people come up with to pledge a large amount of usable money?"
Speaking of which, in addition to being related to identity, identity tokens also have the so-called prestige of the sect, which does not have more role and has the least impact on people, but it can make anyone feel very important, and it is not the best pledge.
Elder Zhong had nothing to say, and tried to find the flaw in it, "If everyone uses their identity tokens to pledge as Elder Tu said, how can they prove their identity?"
"Simple. ”
Elder Tu had obviously already thought of a countermeasure, "After the pawn, you don't have to collect the token, you just need to write down the time of the pawn, and the token is still held by yourself." ”
As soon as these words came out, Elder Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up. The momentum returned and sneered: "In this way, if the time is up but you can't get the redeemed money, what should you do?"
Elder Tu's expression became solemn, "Naturally, you should take back the token, depending on whether the situation is serious or not and whether your attitude is good or bad." In the worst case, he will be removed from the house, and at the lightest, he will be stripped of his identity and beaten as a miscellaneous disciple, so that he can make up for his mistakes or repay more money, and then consider whether to let him return to his rightful status. In this way, it can reflect the importance of the sect token, and can it deter more people from taking advantage of opportunistic thoughts, and they will not easily use this method until it is important. ”
Good. All the flaws have come back, and this is an extremely perfect sect good deed.
Liu Heng thought about it, only to realize that the master's mind was so far-reaching, in fact, he was still trying his best to benefit the sect. I'm afraid that the master has already had this thought, but he didn't encounter a good opportunity to launch it, and this time he just took advantage of his own business to bring it up.
Elder Zhong was distressed in his heart, it was really leaky, and he couldn't find a way to target it at all. In the end, he simply tore his face and sneered: "Of course Elder Tu said it easily. With the status of the elder in the sect, even if there is no money to redeem it at that time, what can the sect do with the elders? There are still many figures like the elder in the sect, and once this opening is opened, won't everyone be able to follow the same example. It's nothing more than one more reason to be greedy for money from the Mo Sect!"
"Naturally, it can't be like this. ”
Elder Tu said indifferently: "If this happens, then the old man is not only not seeking the well-being of the sect, but will become a sinner for the ages who will bring the sect to ruin." ”
"Since the elder also knows that it is powerful, this thing is destined not to be done, of course it is wrong. Do you still want to admit your mistake?" Elder Zhong shouted.
Elder Tu shook his head and said word by word: "Elder Zhong also said that as an elder of the sect, you have to set an example, how can you knowingly commit a crime. If you want to do this, you must do it according to the rules I have set for you, and no one will be exempted. ”
"What about the Elder himself?" Elder Zhong sneered.
Elder Tu looked at her fixedly, "This matter is raised by me, of course it should start with me, how can it be an exception." ”
Elder Zhong was stunned, he couldn't see the slightest abnormality from Elder Tu's expression, he seemed very serious, "I heard that when the hidden vein went to pledge this time, he said that it would be redeemed in two or three years, even if it was three years. After three years, what if you can't get the redeemed property?"
How could Liu Heng make the master embarrassed, and immediately responded: "This is a matter for the juniors, and the master is only helping, if the time comes, if it can't be redeemed as promised, the juniors should be punished tenfold with the door rules set by the master, so as to set an example!"
When Elder Zhong heard this, his face showed such a sneer, "If the teacher is wrong, the disciple will obey his responsibility, and he will be punished tenfold, which is really a good idea! It seems that the old man will have to find a few more good apprentices in the future." ”
Everyone could tell that she was talking the opposite.
Elder Tu glanced at Liu Heng and knew that he was responsible, and he also wanted to take over the matter by himself. But Elder Tu shook his head at Liu Heng, signaling him not to interfere.
Because, his weight is not enough!
"Whoever can't redeem his token when the time comes, he will naturally bear the punishment, and no one can be an exception. Elder Tu's voice still couldn't hear the slightest fluctuation, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "The old man is pawning his own token, and it is the first case to be used as a model, if he can't redeem it at that time, he should naturally be punished more heavily." ”
Elder Zhong was stunned for a moment and then sneered, "What Elder Tu said lightly, it is difficult for the sect to succeed, and you can really break up your only overlord and cultivate it into a martial art, and you can't get rid of it?"
This is obviously self-defeating martial arts, no sect would do such a stupid thing, in Elder Zhong's mind, it is with this confidence that the demon slayer will be so fearless.
Moreover, a loose cultivation overlord who does not have a sect, as long as it is known to the world, there will be countless sects that offer better conditions to invite sincerely. Maybe he will really be expelled from the door, and no one in the sect can abolish his martial arts, which will be in line with his true wishes.
Elder Tu shook his head again, "No, when the time comes, I will ask the sect to demote the old man to a miscellaneous servant, even if he pays the redeemed money in the future in three years, he will not be allowed to return to his original identity, and he will serve tea and water to you for the rest of his life." With such a punishment, I wonder if Elder Zhong can be satisfied?"
These words were like thunder, and as soon as they came out, they shocked people's hearts and forgot their words.
How humiliating is it to serve tea and water to someone who is originally equivalent and never change it for the rest of his life?
If Elder Zhong tried to change himself, he was afraid that he would be eager to rebel immediately, or commit suicide, and he would never be willing to bear such humiliation. They have long been accustomed to being high, and they are all big people in the sect who can turn the clouds and rain with their gestures, and it is better to die if they suddenly fall into the quagmire from a high altitude!
So ruthless!
This is probably a more severe punishment than immediate execution for the powerful people of the sect!
Elder Tu said to this point, who else can say anything, a dignified overlord surrenders himself to the status of a miscellaneous servant, and this is enough to gag everyone's mouths.
"Tu, Elder Tu, the stakes are very high, the old body does not dare to deal with it alone, so he can only report to the head of the family and make a decision. Unconsciously, Elder Zhong's speech also became stumbling, which showed that his mind was already in turmoil.
Elder Tu clasped his fists and saluted, "It should be so, the old man's proposal, please also ask Elder Zhong to report it to the head of the house on his behalf." ”
Elder Zhong nodded unconsciously, then glanced at Elder Tu with a complicated expression, and also clasped his fists and saluted without saying more, and hurried away with the two sect deacons who were even more shocked and sluggish.
After sending the three of them to the bottom of the mountain, the silent Liu Heng returned to the Master's Cave Mansion, and suddenly asked, "This Elder Zhong." I'm afraid it's not the person in charge, right?"
He said he was asking, but his tone was affirmative.
The head of the sect and the Ma family, represented by the Great Elder, are fighting in secret, and almost all the sects from top to bottom, including the miscellaneous disciples who have just started, also know it, which shows how fierce the struggle for power between the two sides has been. It can be said that the master, the overlord, is already the biggest confidence on the face of the master, and if the elders who are close to the head come here, it should never be this kind of attitude.
So it goes without saying which side Elder Zhong is.
Elder Tu glanced at the only disciple and said indifferently: "You don't need to get involved in these sect matters, it's just a waste of time." ”
"But Master, how can you be forced to such a point for the sake of the disciple's affairs?" Liu Heng couldn't help but said: "The matter of medicinal materials is not urgent, there is no need to be like this, it is better for the disciple to take the token back first and find another way." ”
He was both ashamed and moved in his heart, ashamed that it was his own inconsiderate thinking that allowed Master to fall into the trap of others. But the master did not hesitate to stand up and take the matter on his own, and still sheltered him from the wind and rain, how could he not be moved?
"The arrow from the string, how can there be a reason to take it back?"
