Chapter 11: Observing the Inner Vortex From Now On

In the Chuzhu Hall, not long after the bell rang for the second time, Sun Zhijie, wearing a Feiyun crown, Tai Chi fairy clothes, and a white jade ruler around his waist, with a dragon and tiger in auspiciousness, smoke and clouds, walked in with a serious face, and sat on the table On the futon of the head.

During the last internal discussion, Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang finally reached a consensus not to pursue Liu He's impeachment of Wu Yi for the time being. He is still unhappy thinking about this matter.

If Ge Xuanlang, an old man like this, joins forces with me, there will be no outsider like Wang Chuchen in charge of the affairs within the temple. It is true that people become more and more stupid as they get older. Sun Zhijie cursed in his heart, wishing he could kick Wang Chuchen and Ge Xuanlang out and take charge of the Liucheng Yiqi Taoist Temple.

After roughly estimating the time, Sun Zhijie glanced at the disciples below, and before the bell rang for the third time, he said, "Morning class starts today. Has everyone arrived today?"

It was originally just a casual question, and Sun Zhijie didn't expect anyone to answer it. He was known to be strict in front of his disciples. The new disciples would not dare to miss his class, while the old disciples would not dare to come. Most of the people who took his class had already practiced the first four changes to the extreme, but he didn't care whether they came or not.

Unexpectedly, someone actually replied: "Reporting to the master, Wu Yi is missing among the new disciples."

Hearing this, Sun Zhijie raised his thick eyebrows on his temples and couldn't suppress his anger, "Huh, Zhuzi, you dare to openly violate the rules in less than a month. I don't know what the deacon has done."

The combination of old and new grudges made Sun Zhijie furious on the spot, while the disciples below him either ignored the matter as it had nothing to do with themselves, or did not say a word because the matter involved the master in Guanzhong. The hall was silent for a while.

After venting his anger for a while, Sun Zhijie suddenly understood that this was a good opportunity to deal with Wu Yi's sins. At the same time, he could also take the opportunity to do something big and drag Wang Chuchen down with him. A trace of yin could not help but appear on his face.

When the disciples below saw the change in his expression, they pretended not to have seen it, except for one person, the one who exposed Wu Yi for not arriving.

"Liu He, you did a good job and dared to speak out. It's very good."

Yes, the person who exposed Wu Yi was the same Liu He who impeached Wu Yi before. If Wu Yi was present, he would definitely have found out that this Liu He was the junior brother Liu who was beaten by another brother named Li Tian during the morning class. How could Wu Yi have thought that being a casual observer would cause him such trouble.

The morning class ended calmly, without even pretending to return a greeting to the disciples. Sun Zhijie took Liu He who had exposed Wu Yi's "illegal activities" and hurried to Wuxu Peak. Wuxu Peak is one of the three major temples in Guanzhong. Where the deacon lives, the three of them occupy such a huge mountain, so they naturally decorate their home with great luxury, like a prince's compound on earth.

Sun Zhijie came to Li Gu's residence and called out: "Li Gu." Without waiting for the boy servant to enter, he rushed straight in.

Entering the door, there are corridors on both sides, and a hallway in the middle, lined with a few rocks and pots of flowers, including rich crabapples, delicate peach blossoms, blooming chrysanthemums, and elegant plum blossoms. Flowers of different seasons bloom together.

However, Sun Zhijie was not in the mood to appreciate this. He rushed straight to Li Gu's practice room. At this time, Li Gu heard the noise outside and went out to check. When the two met, sparks flew in their eyes.

At this time, the powerful men and servants in Li Gu's mansion rushed over and knelt down to apologize to Li Gu.

Li Gu waved his hand in disgust, and the servants and other servants left quickly as if they had been granted amnesty, leaving only a few strong men with round arms and thick waists to surround Sun Zhijie at the scene.

These warriors are not ordinary handymen who just deliver food like Lin Li and his son. They are chosen by the master to protect them, similar to the existence of Dharma protectors.

Most monks are physically weak, and it takes time to cast spells. These warriors are responsible for buying time for the monks, even using their lives. Maybe they can't affect the situation of the battle, but they can delay the enemy for a moment, and this moment is enough for the monks to end the battle. This is why most monks are keen on raising strong men.

Li Gu put his hands behind his back, looked at Sun Zhijie coldly, and said calmly: "Sun Zhijie, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will not give up even if you sue the temple master." In line with Li Gu's words, Li Shi also They tightened their encirclement one after another, causing pressure on the momentum.

Liu He, who was slightly behind Sun Zhijie, couldn't help but fight with his two legs. Although these warriors were piled up with foreign objects, they were raised by Li Gu after all, and their momentum could not be faked. They were all at the peak of Qi refining, and he couldn't deal with any of them. , let alone swarming them.

When Sun Zhijie heard Li Gu's words, he laughed angrily, grabbed Liu He behind him with one hand, and said, "Come on, tell us what happened with our dedicated deacon."

Li Gu raised his eyebrows and remained silent, watching with cold eyes what good show they were about to put on.

Liu He was a little tongue-tied as he recounted what happened this morning. In fact, the matter was not complicated, but after Sun Zhijie muddied the water, there was a risk of involvement.

Li Gu nodded while listening. No matter how quarrelsome he was with Sun Zhijie, at least as a deacon of ceremonies, he still had to act fair and selfless on the outside.

After hearing the end, Li Gu said: "Even so, there is no need for me, Professor Sun Da, to make the trip in person. Are you worried that Deacon Li's argument is unfair?"

Sun Zhijie really wanted to reply that I came here in person because I didn’t believe you. However, he still smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of wronging the disciple? Besides, since the deacon is confident that his opinion is fair, he should make it public to the public, just to stop Youyou's mouth, you say yes or no."

Having seen Sun Zhijie's shameless side, Li Gu knew that he couldn't get rid of him anyway. He had just used his authority as a deacon to suppress Sun Zhijie a few days ago, and today he had to be prepared for him to return the favor. Besides, this was also a matter within his scope of responsibility, so he should go there.

So he said to Sun Zhijie: "Okay, you go with me, but I will be the master of everything." Although he knew that Sun Zhijie would definitely intervene, Li Gu still mentioned it.

Seeing that the first step of the goal had been achieved, Sun Zhijie didn't care whether he would comply at that time, and agreed: "That's right, that's right." He was thinking about how to make Wu Yi confess his crime and be punished.

Seeing that his eyes were erratic, Li Gu knew that he didn't take it to heart, and shook his head helplessly. He could only hope that Wu Yi had a reasonable reason, but he just wanted to get away with it.

In fact, Li Gu knew exactly why Wu Yi didn't come to the morning class. Compared with other disciples, he entered the class more than five months later. The professors no longer taught the most basic content. Instead of wasting time in class, it was better to explore on his own.

But why did he bump into this guy? Li Gu couldn't help but sigh. If a general disciple violates the law, such as Wu Yi's morning class, he would say that it was important to practice and he had no time to be distracted. As for being asked why his cultivation did not improve, it was ridiculous. How could cultivation improve so easily? But if someone made a big deal about a problem that was not taken seriously at ordinary times, it would naturally be difficult to get away with it.

Li Gu and Sun Zhijie each brought a ceremonial vehicle, riding a jade sedan, and strong men and servants lined up on both sides, some holding screen fans, and some holding weapons. When they met any idle people, they would scold them one by one.

This is the majesty of the deacon professor when he is on official business. It must not be sloppy, otherwise it will be underestimated by the disciples and lose face.

The group came in a mighty procession, with dust rising high, and soon arrived at the foot of Lingxiu Peak.

Lingxiu Peak is so steep that ordinary people would be terrified even if they walked up it, but the strong men carrying the jade sedan chair were already familiar with it, and they walked up the mountain with great speed, fast and steady, which was amazing.

Wu Yi lived on the top of the mountain, but even so, the group came up steadily.

Seeing that the door of Wu Yi's cave was closed, Sun Zhijie's face sank, "The door is closed in broad daylight, I wonder what shameful things he is doing."

Through the hanging white jade necklace, Li Gu glanced at Sun Zhijie, and Sun Zhijie knew that he had spoken too early, so he kept silent.

Li Gu sat upright on the jade sedan chair, his eyes slightly closed, picked up a purple-gold bell on the cloud couch, raised it and waved it gently, the mysterious sound was clear and spread all over the place, the strong men and servants who had been breathless when they went up the mountain, their blood and qi were surging, but now they were calm, and some people who were originally wandering in the sky were also concentrating on watching.

This purple-gold bell was handled by the deacon of the ceremonial department of each generation. Unlike the simple sound of the bell for stopping and calling the bell during the morning class, the purple-gold bell has the function of forcing the disciples to wake up, but because of its ability to calm the mind and stop the thoughts, it will not have much impact on the disciples who are at the critical point of cultivation. It can be said to be a must-have for inspection, and some disciples tried to get away with it by saying that they were too busy to meet at the critical point of cultivation.

When the sound of the purple-gold bell stopped, a strong man in front of Li Gu shouted to Wu Yi's cave: "Disciple Wu Yi, the deacon of the ceremonial department is in front, come out to meet." After calling three times in a row, the sound of response was heard from inside.

After a while, Wu Yi moved the stone to seal the door, opened the door, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Disciple Wu Yi, I didn't know that the deacon of the Imperial Household was here. I hope you will forgive me for being late."

Li Gu pushed aside the necklace and looked at Wu Yi carefully. He saw that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His every move was in accordance with the rules. He nodded and said: "Wu Yi, do you know why I called you today?"

Wu Yi lowered his head and said: "My guess is right. It should be because I didn't go to the morning class today."

Li Gu laughed and said: "You know it in your heart. Then you were delayed because of cultivation?"

Sun Zhijie saw that something was wrong, Wu Yi Li Gu The two chatted enthusiastically, leaving him aside and interrupted: "You must answer truthfully. If you lie, it will be forbidden by the rules."

Wu Yi seemed to have just noticed that there was another cloud couch, and hurriedly bowed to Sun Zhijie and said: "Every word I said is true, I dare not lie."

How could Wu Yi not see the two cloud couches? It was just that the two sides were clearly divided and it was obviously difficult to deal with. In this case, instead of trying to please both sides, it would be better to test one side first and then decide which side he could borrow. He was lucky and succeeded in the first try, so naturally he "didn't see" the other cloud couch.

And Sun Zhijie's tone further confirmed Wu Yi's guess. How could he foolishly listen to him? Besides, Li Gu had already pointed him out. If he didn't know how to follow the trend, wouldn't it be stupid?

So Wu Yi roughly recounted his cultivation process. Of course, some things were omitted if possible, especially highlighting the importance of this morning's process. Although the facts were indeed so, it was undoubtedly more convincing through Wu Yi's rendering.

Li Gu nodded frequently while listening on the cloud couch, while Sun Zhijie on the other side wanted to rush up and sew Wu Yi's mouth shut. Every word Wu Yi said was a slap in his face, because no matter what, cultivation was the most important thing, so no one could blame him for not going to the morning class.

Finally, Li Gu smiled at Sun Zhijie and said, "I wonder if Professor Sun is satisfied?"

Sun Zhijie's face was livid, and he was so angry that Wang Chuchen had no intention of doing anything. He even wanted to get himself out of it, so as not to leave a bad reputation that would not be tolerated by others.

But I still have to show this brat some power, Sun Zhijie was angry.

"Wu Yi, you just got angry today, right?"

He had said this before, Wu Yi had to answer: "Yes."

Sun Zhijie showed a sinister smile of conspiracy, and said: "In this case, I guess you haven't completed the task in the temple. I am honored to be your professor. I heard that Dahuai Town has not been very peaceful recently. Why don't you go out and check it out, spread the reputation of my temple, and save the people from the water and fire."

Li Gu's face changed, and then returned to normal. Wu Yi, who had been watching Li Gu's face, realized that this trip was dangerous, but the risk should be within the controllable range, so he agreed generously and replied: "I am willing to be in the temple."

The matter was roughly resolved, and Sun Zhijie didn't want to stay here and embarrass himself. He simply praised Wu Yi and left.

Li Gu stayed where he was, and after Sun Zhijie left the cloud couch, he said to Wu Yi with a serious face: "For some reason, the Yin Qi in Dahuai Town was scattered a few years ago. I have sent many people in my temple to check and clear it, but it is easy to dispel the Yin Qi, but it is not easy to eradicate it. Every time a period of time, the Yin Qi leaks out again."

"Well, I will give you a few days with Sun Zhijie, and you should get familiar with your current state. This is a Yin Talisman. If you encounter Yin turbidity, use it to save your life."

Li Gu took out a talisman made of locust wood from his sleeve, carefully handed it to Wu Yi, explained the instructions for use, and then went down the mountain.

Many readers said that this chapter should have a cool point, which is also a routine of current novels, but in the setting of Sanren, the pig's foot is just a disciple who entered the door the latest, and has the lowest cultivation among all the disciples.

The excitement is mainly derived from comparison. Of course, if Sanren is imagining, he can write that the protagonist strikes back and teaches his senior brothers a lesson, but that is not Sanren's style. It is not so easy to defeat the enemy in the path of cultivation. Moreover, force is just a means to achieve the goal. It is a pity that many so-called masters do not realize this.

Just like Sanren's only top comment said, many novels are now written for children. Sanren does not allow himself to write such articles, even if it sacrifices some readers. Those who agree will come, and those who don't agree will leave.
