As Mo Jun asked, a stream of light appeared on the curled fingers of the law enforcement elder in the hall of the Xianshan Sect.
Ready to go.
With Jiang Xia's level of practice, he could knock him back to his mortal form with just a hit of his finger. If he used a little more force, he would probably grind Jiang to ashes.
But this finger was ultimately not thrown out.
After a few breaths, the law enforcement elder closed his eyes and responded softly:
"Disciple Jiang Xia has not yet completed the ceremony of becoming a disciple, nor has he formally entered the sect. He is not bound by the sect rules and should not be punished. However, Master, there were many unexpected events during this talent selection ceremony.
Now , the thirteenth of the twelve disciples has appeared and has joined our sect. What should we do with him?
Please give me some advice, Master."
Mo Jun was silent for a few seconds, then he sighed and said:
"Thirteen people, just thirteen people, maybe it's fate."
“Twelve people entered our sect, the ceremony was the same as before, the exception was Bai Ze… She was allowed to join Sanbao’s sect, Sanbao worked hard for many years, and took the initiative to transfer to the outer sect.
This is a reward for the hard work and creation of this foundation.
As for Jiangxia.
This disciple has a wild and rebellious nature, and a tiger at heart. Chu Er will personally discipline him and temper his character. He may become a talented person for our Mo Sect in the future."
"Master, I don't want him!"
As soon as the head of the sect finished speaking, the law enforcement elder, whose face was as calm as ice, immediately said:
"That person loves to stir up trouble, which is not in line with my quiet nature. I am also trying to break through the barrier and reflect on my mistakes, so I can't spare the energy to discipline him. Let Senior Sister do it.
Anyway, didn’t Sanbao already make it clear with her before? "
"I don't want it either."
Elder Shi Yan said lazily:
"That person is obviously a troublemaker. Junior brother is quick to shirk responsibility, but I also have my own things to do. I am very busy every day. How about asking Master to discipline him personally?"
"Um?"
Mo Jun now snorted in confusion.
Elder Shi Yan, who knew the Master's character well, shuddered immediately and quickly replied:
"I was just joking, Master. You should continue to cultivate. I will take care of him and make sure he becomes a talented person for our Mo Sect."
"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Mo Jun's divine consciousness disappeared as swiftly and silently as it appeared.
Just one last reminder.
"One year later, on the day of Jingzhe, the elders and disciples of the inner sect of Mo Shuang will follow me and return to the ancestral land of the sect."
"Don't bother me if it's nothing serious."
"Farewell, Master!"
Shi Yan and Liu Chu leaned forward at the same time to say goodbye, sending Mo Jun's spirit fading into an unknown place.
After the Sect Leader's mind left, Shi Yan was the first to stand up straight.
The age of this elder who teaches martial arts is still unknown, but as Mo Jun’s first disciple, she is definitely a serious old monster.
However, judging from her appearance alone, Shi Yan is not gray-haired. Her skin is even better than her two female disciples, Bi Yue and Xiu Hua.
She was not wearing the standard Taoist robes of Mo Shuang Mountain, but a long dress with floral patterns. Her appearance was not much different from that of a noble lady in the mortal world, and she was also wearing a white fox fur coat.
The furry edges line the elder's slender swan-like neck.
The skin exposed only from the wrist can even reflect a jade-like light under the light, it is white and clean, and looks as delicate as porcelain or jade.
The so-called smooth and jade-like skin is probably just like this.
She also has a great figure.
Although a slender waist is almost a standard feature of female practitioners, Elder Shi Yan's waist is unusual. It is no problem to call her a beautiful snake.
Two long legs were hidden under the skirt, and at the delicate ankles there was a string of silver bells, just like the little girl's dress.
Finally, let’s look at the face.
Emmmm.
It’s not that it’s not beautiful, because you can’t see it at all.
She was wearing a veil, revealing only a pair of clear autumn eyes. The veil floated up and down, with a warm light on it. It was a magic weapon that concealed her face.
But judging from those lazy, fox-like eyes, the elder is definitely a beauty.
Compared to her, Elder Liu Chu beside her seemed much more ordinary.
At first glance, he looked like a very old-fashioned guy. He wore his standard Taoist robes neatly and was not as "ostentatious" as his own disciples.
In his hand he held a blank jade plate.
When standing, it's like a rooted pine tree, as if every bone is tense.
Frankly speaking, Elder Liu Chu's facial features are those of a "housewife killer", with a square face, a serious expression, an intimidating presence, and a light beard on his chin.
His gray hair was combed neatly, with two ends extending from his temples down and hanging down in front of his chest.
Song Fan's hairstyle is obviously imitated from his master.
Let’s not talk about other aspects of Mo Jun’s two disciples, but their appearance is really better than the other.
"Junior brother, don't leave yet, I want to tell you something."
Seeing that Liu Chu was about to leave the hall, lying on the chair like Ge You, Elder Shi Yan, who seemed to have no bones, suddenly spoke.
The elder looked dazed and sleepy at the moment. She said weakly:
"It was fine before, but now, Master has thrown a troublemaker to me. There are some things that I have to inform you in advance. I heard that Jiang Xia killed two of your descendants.
I ask you, do you hate him?"
"Senior sister, you are joking."
Liu Chu stood at the entrance of the sect's main hall. Without even turning his head, he said:
"Sister, do you still remember how long we have been disciples of Master?"
“I remember.”
Shi Yan half closed her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep, and her head started to pecking at rice like a chicken.
She whispered:
"It's been three hundred and seven years. I was only seven years old then, and you were just a four-year-old kid. When you met me and Master, you were still wearing open-crotch pants."
"Since it has been three hundred years, Senior Sister still doesn't know what kind of personality I have?"
Liu Chu did not show any embarrassment, he said in the same tone:
"Liu Ruyi, Liu Bao, their relationship with me is just a fate that was created by an accidental interaction with my Taoist companion when I was young and frivolous 260 years ago.
And my Taoist partner has already passed away two hundred years ago.
It is said in the mortal world that the kindness of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Senior sister, tell me, do I still have any relationship with them?
If Liu Ruyi had not taken out the relics left by my Taoist partner when he came to see me last time, how could I, as a law enforcement elder, have had any private thoughts because of him?
Senior sister, do you really think that he bribed me with those tens of thousands of immortal coins?
Why not just speak your mind?
Because I used public property for personal gain last time and broke the law knowingly, I should still be in prison and in self-punishment. After Senior Sister has finished talking to me, I will go into self-imprisonment again."
"That's what I said."
Shi Yan felt uncomfortable lying on the chair, so she simply pulled the table over and lay on it, trying to prop up her delicate chin with her left arm. She tried to open her eyes wide and look at her junior brother.
She said:
"I asked this question because I know what kind of person you are.
I believe you won't harm me.
You and I have practiced together for three hundred years, and you saved me from danger. We are closer than family members.
But Jiang Xia is my disciple after all, so I have to consider him more. I can afford to offend you, but he can't. After all, in this world, there are probably not many people who can afford to offend the Bi'an fate.
So, Junior Brother.
What I want to say is, for my sake, let’s just let it go.”
As she spoke, Shi Yan flicked her fingers on the table.
The two items were placed on the other side of the table.
A bottle of medicine surrounded by light mist.
A small mirror in the shape of a bagua.
"This top-grade Huitianbao medicine was a gift from Sanbao when he asked me to accept Jiang Xia. It can help Song Fan return to the peak of the True Realm within a year."
Shi Yan closed her eyes and said:
"I also heard that Jiang Xia took a magic weapon from your disciple. This 'Eight Treasures Universe Mirror' was made by me a few days ago for practice. It's not a good thing.
Just consider it as compensation to your disciple.
What happened between them...
Just stay out of this, okay?"
Liu Chu was silent for a few breaths, then nodded slowly. The two things on the table disappeared at that moment.
"Also, Junior Brother, you have been trying to break through to the Dao Seeking Realm recently."
Shi Yan added:
"You have found the heart of Tao?"
"Well, I barely felt a hint of fate."
Liu Chu did not hide it, he said softly:
“My senior sister and I reached the peak of the spiritual realm more than a hundred years ago. The reason we have been suppressing our progress and not breaking through is because we have seen what happened to our master and heard his teachings.
Before you find the heart of Tao, you must never break through to the realm of seeking Tao.
My master was already a great seeker of the Tao three hundred years ago, and he has been practicing in seclusion for more than three hundred years, but he is still trapped in this state, unable to break through... Alas, the difficulty of practicing is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Senior sister, you have been lazy and decadent for a hundred years. Haven’t you yet found that clue of destiny?
Or, Senior Sister, after you saw what happened to Master with your own eyes...
Are you scared? "
"nonsense!"
Shi Yan closed her eyes and curled her lips. She said as if complaining:
"Who wouldn't be afraid after seeing Master's demonic state back then? If we hadn't been lucky, we wouldn't have met Master Xu from the Imperial Academy who happened to pass by and helped us.
I'm afraid that more than two hundred years ago, you and I would have died and ascended to heaven.
After that, we stayed in this remote place on the southern border for more than two hundred years. Wasn’t it because we were afraid that our master would go crazy again?
Junior brother, you better take it easy this time.
I saw that Master was already very tired all by himself.
If there is another you with inner demons, I won’t be able to bear it.”
"No problem."
Liu Chu waved his hand. He looked at the sea of ​​clouds and the sky above his head. At this moment, he said in a very carefree manner:
"If I really am possessed by a demon, Senior Sister can just kill me with a sword, and that will be a relief for me. But instead of worrying about me, Senior Sister should worry more about what will happen one year later.
This time, Master has made up his mind to return to the West Sea, and I'm afraid he is also thinking of making a desperate attempt.
No one knows better than you and me what his inner demons are.
What I'm afraid of is.
When the master returns to the West Sea, he will be filled with resentment when he sees the sad scene again. If he attracts the disaster of the inner demon again, then the great sage Linzhu who guards the sin abyss of the West Sea...
I'm afraid he's not as easy to talk to as Master Xu was back then.
That's not a problem that can be solved by us bowing a few more times."
"Then why do you insist on kicking Sanbao out of the inner gate?"
When Shi Yan heard this, she was furious. She suddenly opened her eyes and asked:
"I think Sanbao is honest and reliable, and you are not a petty person. Why do you keep causing trouble for him after Sanbao joined the sect?"
"Senior Sister!"
Liu Chu emphasized his tone this time , and said word by word:
"I told you a long time ago that there is something wrong with Cha Sanbao! If he hadn't helped Master and you and me during the most critical moment of the sect, I would have kicked him out long ago.
He is a very reliable person.
But the secrets he kept deep in his heart...
It’s scary.”
"He didn't tell me, how do you know he has a secret?"
Shi Yan curled her lips and said:
"How come I don't know? When did you learn the soul-searching secret technique from the Qintian Academy?"
"I am of the Bi'an Fate Type, Senior Sister, I can smell the scent of secrets."
Liu Chu didn't want to say anything more and disappeared as a wisp of green smoke. His final reminder echoed in Shi Yan's ears.
He said:
“Be careful Sanbao, don’t get too close to him.
And your new disciple... The secret scent on him is stronger than the three treasures. My disciple Song Fan, with his mortal eyes, thought there were only two of them.
Wrong.
There are three outliers.
Jiangxia must also be an anomaly.
But since the head master has spoken, I will no longer stop him and will allow him to enter the mountain. I just need to teach him well in the future and not let him cause any trouble again.
After all, Mo Shuang Mountain is a place for spiritual practice, so it’s better to keep it quiet.
Senior sister, you also have to be careful. Master Xu predicted your fortune that year and said that your great catastrophe will occur this year. Try to avoid dealing with these dangerous people and don’t get yourself involved.
I also have to look after my master and the sect.
I really don’t have that much energy to save you.”
After a few breaths, Shi Yan slowly got up and stretched as if she had just woken up. She moved her neck and looked at the sea of ​​clouds and sky in front of her.
She whispered:
"Do I still need your help? Xiao Chu'er, your character of fighting has not changed at all. Aren't you tired of living like this?"
