Chapter 606 Punishment

Chapter 606 Punishment

Hearing Deputy Hall Master Xu's questioning, Lu Chaoxian glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, wondering if he should tell the truth. Zhang Xiaohua saw it, took a step forward, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I've met Deputy Hall Master Xu, I'm from the Tianmu Peak Cao Department. The medicine boy is free."

Deputy Hall Master Xu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with great interest and said, "I'm not asking for your names. I just want to know why you are so bold and dare to come openly late."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Before I give my reasons, I would like to say something first."

"Well, you go ahead." Deputy Hall Master Xu nodded.

"This is my senior brother from Kusanabe. He didn't come late just now. He just found out that I wasn't here when he arrived, so he went back to look for me. I think that if the master of the hall is guilty of extra sin, he will bear the responsibility. You see how?"

Deputy Hall Master Xu gave a high-five and said: "Okay, since you, a little medicine boy, know how to repay kindness, why can't I, the Hall Master, distinguish right from wrong? Since he can remember that you, a junior brother, are absent, I'm afraid No matter what punishment you received, taking the risk to find you is something worthy of praise in itself. This is exactly the care I just talked about. His reasons are so good, naturally I will not punish him."

Then he turned back to Lu Chaoxian and said, "Is what he said true? Have you been to this yard just now?"

Lu Chaoxian said in panic: "Everything Junior Brother Ren said is true. When I came to this courtyard just now, I didn't know that it was Deputy Hall Master Xu who wanted to lecture us. It wasn't until I saw you sitting here drinking tea that I realized Knowing that the matter is serious, I quickly went back to find Junior Brother Ren."

"Okay, you are a loyal man." Deputy Hall Master Xu patted Lu Chaoxian on the shoulder and said, "You can go back now. Since you can tell that I was tasting tea just now, you naturally arrived at the courtyard on time. This reason is very good. obvious."

Lu Chaoxian looked at Zhang Xiaohua, his eyes flickered a few times. He had just said something to Deputy Hall Master Xu, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say it. He lowered his head and hurried to the back of the crowd.

At this time, Deputy Hall Master Xu smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "What about you? Do you have any high-sounding reasons?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said: "When Deputy Hall Master Xu summoned us, I was indeed not in the house, but I didn't go far. I was in the woods behind the courtyard. I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Baiyue Peak and forgot about the time. "

"Hehe," Deputy Hall Master Xu said with a smile, "You are so arty, but you can actually appreciate the beautiful scenery of the woods? I pass by that woods countless times a year, why have I never noticed the difference?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "The beautiful scenery is all inadvertently. Deputy Hall Master Xu only worries about the affairs of the hall.

Where else can I relax and look at the wild flowers on the roadside? "

"Well, what you said is correct. The matter in the ** Heart Hall is that you go to Orchid Grand Canyon. I also want to tell you some precautions. How can I see the beautiful scenery in your eyes?" Deputy Hall Master Xu He nodded and said: "Since you didn't come to the field on time, and you were still wandering around, violating the rules of the station, what do you think I should do to punish you?"

Hearing this, the pile of torture instruments in the dungeon at the top of Baiyuefeng flashed in Zhang Xiaohua's mind for no reason, and her eyes narrowed: "I have just arrived at Chuanxiang Cult not long ago, and I don't know the rules thoroughly, so I asked Deputy Church Master Xu to teach me. "

"Look, I know that you should have learned these rules from the first day you entered Chuanxiang Cult. You should have firmly memorized the rules in your heart. If you could memorize the rules earlier, how could you have committed the crime today? mistake?"

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. After coming to teach the incense religion for so long, who had ever mentioned a word about the teachings to her? This is not my fault, so I just need to bow again and say, "What Deputy Hall Master Xu taught me is, please forgive me, Deputy Hall Master Xu."

Deputy Hall Master Xu was very satisfied with his attitude. He twirled his beard and said: "Well, although you made a mistake, you can correct it after you know it. Your attitude is very good. Depending on your mistake, it can be minor or serious, and at the smallest it is a neglect of the teacher. , he will be punished with hard labor for a few days, or in severe cases, he will be punished for disobeying the hall master's orders, or he will be whipped for eighty years, or his hamstring will be broken."

With the sound of "Si", Zhang Xiaohua took a breath of cold air and said to herself: "No wonder there are so many torture instruments in the dungeon. This punishment is too harsh. But if you are just a little late, you will break your hamstring. It is really inhumane. Listen to him His tone seems to be that there is still room for things to happen, hehe, it’s best not to make me angry, otherwise I’ll make a big fuss about you, Bai Yuefeng.”

Now that things have happened, Zhang Xiaohua no longer cares about keeping a low profile, and her heart is filled with fear. As long as Deputy Hall Master Xu dares to take him down, he will show off his power and kill Bai Yuefeng.

Sure enough, Deputy Hall Master Xu's tone changed and he said: "But I think you are still young and new to the teaching. You lack the key points and don't understand the rules in the religion. Well, the key point is that punishment is not the purpose, but just a means. Punishment can avoid past mistakes and treat future problems to save talents. This is our purpose. In addition, you have to participate in the 'Orchid Dusk Refining'. This hall master will allow you to make meritorious deeds. As long as you collect the century-old 'Ice Soul Grass', I will exempt you from punishment."

"A century-old ice soul grass?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Even the disciples in the audience were looking at each other. Although there was an incredible look in their eyes and some murmurs in their mouths, under Deputy Hall Master Xu's Under the majesty, no one dared to whisper to each other.

Ice Soul Grass is one of the main ingredients for refining the "Jade Return Pill". This is what Zhang Xiaohua knows. But whether it is easy to find the century-old Ice Soul Grass in Youlan Grand Canyon, Zhang Xiaohua doesn't need to use his brain. Looking at his heels, well, or looking at the expressions of everyone on the court, Zhang Xiaohua knew that this was definitely not an easy thing. However, it seems that Zhang Xiaohua has no choice. He can either agree to Deputy Hall Master Xu's suggestion and "be punished with meritorious service", or he can accept the punishment of Deputy Hall Master Xu and accept torture as heavy as "breaking his hamstring". Needless to say, the latter will definitely Will force Zhang Xiaohua to kill Bai Yuefeng, completely disrupting Zhang Xiaohua's original plan.

There was no need to think about it at all, Zhang Xiaohua immediately chose the former. Although the century-old ice soul grass is rare, it may not be found in the Orchid Grand Canyon. Of course, if it really doesn't exist, then there will be a big fight. ,it is also fine.

So Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Deputy Hall Master Xu for his great kindness and permission to make up for his mistakes."

"It's easy to say, Ren Xiaoyao, I like to support the younger generations the most. If you can collect the century-old Ice Soul Grass, I will immediately exempt you from punishment." Deputy Hall Master Xu chuckled, with an imperceptible taste in his eyes: "Of course, If you can’t collect qualified ice soul grass, then don’t blame us for the impartiality of our incense teaching rules.”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

"Okay, go ahead. I hope you can live up to my expectations." Deputy Hall Master Xu waved his hands, but he didn't know whether he hoped that Zhang Xiaohua could collect the Ice Grass, or that he could not collect the Ice Grass?

Zhang Xiaohua bowed and saluted again, raised her head and walked back. Along the way, her eyes were full of gloating. It wasn't until she came to the disciples of Zhongtian Eye Peak that her eyes changed to worry.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohua stood still, Deputy Hall Master Xu on the stage announced the disbandment and asked all the disciples who participated in the trial to go back to their rooms. It seemed that the purpose of this lecture was to cause trouble for Zhang Xiaohua.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaohua didn't speak, just walked with his head lowered. However, Lu Chao was now blaming himself alone, complaining that he was stupid from time to time. He didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to come to the woods behind the yard, and complained that he shouldn't pull Zhang Xiaohua anymore. When they came to the venue, if they hadn't come, how could the hundreds of disciples find that two people were missing? Or if he doesn't come to look for Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua will naturally not come to the venue. If this person doesn't come, Deputy Hall Master Xu may not be able to know even if he has a sharp eye.

The disciples next to him were also worried, but did not speak. When they arrived at the hut where Zhang Xiaohua and Lu Chaoxian lived, several disciples looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then they said: "Junior Brother Ren, you are in such a miserable state. Although this Orchid Grand Canyon is... It is rich in spiritual grass, but we have to go in and pick it every five years. If it is old, we will pick it long ago. Let alone the ice soul grass that is a hundred years old, even those that are fifty years old are rare."

At this time, Lu Chaoxian said again: "It's all my fault, Junior Brother Ren. If I didn't pull you over, this matter definitely wouldn't have happened. I...I..."

Lu Chao found "I" for a long time, but he didn't say a complete sentence.

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, you are doing this for my own good, how could I not know? It's too late for me to be grateful to you, so how can I blame you? What the senior brothers said is very reasonable, but since the hall master will Wherever the problem is, I have no choice but to accept it. If I want to blame it, I can only blame it on my whim and wanting to go out for a walk. It can only be regarded as fate."

All the disciples were sighing after hearing this. In fact, hundreds of people usually stayed in this courtyard, which was very depressing. Many disciples had gone out to hang out, but they didn't find anyone who would label them as violating the religious rules. Zhang Xiaohua didn't go out on weekdays, but she was caught in the act just after such a trip. It's not an exaggeration to say that "if you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?" But Deputy Hall Master Xu spoke even more grandly, and all the disciples, including Zhang Xiaohua, were speechless.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua comforted everyone: "Don't worry about me, everyone. Since the former senior brother Lu Li and Honglu were able to collect hundreds of years old ginseng in the Grand Canyon, maybe I can also get the century-old Ice Soul Grass." .”

A thin disciple next to him listened and interjected: "I occasionally heard the seniors in the grass department say that it was very accidental that Senior Brother Lu got the old ginseng. After he collected some herbs in the medicinal area, he felt that nothing was too rare. Lingcao, I took the risk and relied on my martial arts skills to force my way out of the safe area and ran into a forest very far away."

"But even in that forest, some brothers who heard the news went back and found nothing. Moreover, after several people were injured by wild beasts, they no longer dared to leave the safe area."

"Oh? That's it." Zhang Xiaohua understood somewhat.
