Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 45: The Sky Falls, There Are Senior Brothers
Gong Lili would never have imagined what kind of storm would be waiting for them when they returned.
It is said that the teachers were very angry about Wu Su's presumptuous behavior!
Although Wu Su was surprised that his whereabouts were revealed so quickly, he quickly made all the plans. On the way to the Shamo Temple, he whispered to Peng Lili that no matter what his uncles asked, he should remain silent.
Although Ping Lili was curious, she planned to do as she was told. After all, she had just arrived and if she let the cat out of the bag, she would be in trouble.
The two were quickly brought to the Shamo Temple. Even when they knelt in the center of the temple and were violently scolded by the four legendary elders of the Shamo clan, Ying Lili still felt as if she was in a dream.
She didn't actually hear anything the four senior teachers said in scolding. Although she lowered her head, she was looking around restlessly out of the corner of her eyes.
The legendary Shamo Temple is indeed worthy of its reputation. Twenty-four stone pillars about twenty feet high support the entire temple. The beam above the head alone is almost ten feet long. The whole temple looks quite magnificent. On each stone pillar is the pattern of the traditional Shamo sickle-shaped mark. I don’t know how it was carved. Although it looks like the material is still stone, it feels vaguely that the sickle-shaped mark is emitting a fascinating spiritual pressure. As a result, as soon as you enter the temple, you feel an inexplicable majesty coming towards you, which immediately makes people feel awe-inspiring.
But when it comes to luxury, the Shamo Temple is far from enough. At least compared with the palace of the Ruoye tribe in Yonghui City, it can only be considered quite simple.
The four legendary elders are even more interesting. The one on the far left, who was previously called Uncle Qingchen by Wu Su, is dressed in a dark wizard robe, has a ruddy complexion, and kind eyes. If you just look at his face, he really has the demeanor of a compassionate immortal. Moreover, from the beginning until now, he has been silent, without saying a word, and his face is extremely calm.
The elder next to him, second from the left, named Qingsong, wore a blue robe, had a purple face, and big ears, looking quite impressive. Although he wasn't a talkative person, every word he said was powerful and resounding, and with just a few words, he put Wu Sukuai to shame.
The man next to him seemed to be called Uncle Master Qingyang. He was wearing a gray short shirt, with a red face and eyebrows, and eyes like bells. He looked truly fierce. And his mouth was just as fierce as his face, extremely unpleasant to Ying Lili. It seemed that since they entered, this man had been the one roaring the most fiercely. He spoke eloquently and non-stop, scolding Wu Su and Yao Ji so harshly that Ying Lili could even feel the uncle's saliva spraying into his face.
And what was the name of the one on the far right? Uncle Qingfeng? He looked the shabbiest. His moon-white robe was speckled with red and purple, perhaps grease or some other stain, but it was a real shame. His hair and beard were a tangled mess. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a slovenly, unkempt old man. Of course, the most disgusting thing about him were his small, gleaming, rat-like eyes. Although he hadn't uttered a word yet , Gong Lili couldn't help but feel his eyes lingering on her, giving her goosebumps and making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
These four individuals seemed to have vastly different personalities, but who was the most influential? Or, more accurately, who did Kamami trust the most? Given Kamami's foxy nature, Yinglili instinctively assumed that at least one of these four individuals was deeply trusted and entrusted with important tasks. Her mission was to find that one.
While Ying Lili was secretly speculating in her heart, she was suddenly drawn back to attention by a cough.
"Wusu, as the eldest senior brother, you should set an example yourself, but you insisted on going your own way, secretly taking Yao Ji down the mountain, and violating the rules of the Shamo Temple without authorization. Do you know your crime?" The uncle named Qingsong may not be able to stand Uncle Qingyang's eloquent words, so he finally stopped Uncle Qingyang's roar and convicted Wusu with a few brief words.
"I know my crime and am willing to accept any punishment. However, this matter was done by me on my own initiative and has nothing to do with my junior sister. I just took her away by force. I hope that my uncle will show mercy and forgive my junior sister this time. Wu Su is willing to bear all the punishment." Wu Su knelt respectfully in the center of the temple, prostrating himself on the ground, and confessed his crime directly with a very pious attitude.
But his words not only failed to calm the elders, but instead seemed to add fuel to the fire. Everyone knew that he had been particularly protective of Yao Ji since childhood, but they didn't expect that he still showed no remorse. The seemingly kind-hearted Master Qingchen finally couldn't help but speak, but the words that came out of his mouth suddenly chilled the atmosphere of the entire Shamo Temple: "Since you wish to admit your sins, then I will grant your wish. Go to the 'Demon Abjuration Cave' to reflect on your sins for ten days!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the temple was shocked, except for Gong Lili who was already kneeling on the ground. All the brothers and sisters present knelt down and pleaded for mercy for this eldest brother who usually had a very good relationship with others.
Ping Lili stared blankly at the kneeling crowd in the hall, listening to them plead with Elder Qingchen not to send their eldest brother to the 'Demon Abjuration Cave,' citing the one-way trip there and the fact that his brother bore the future of the Shamo Clan, and that if anything happened, he would regret it. Only then did she realize that things had gotten really bad, and the consequences were grave. Although she had no idea what the 'Demon Abjuration Cave' was, she knew from the reactions of her fellow brothers and sisters that it was no place to be.
What Gong Lili didn't expect was that Wu Su took all the responsibilities on his own.
No wonder he'd urged her to remain silent before. So that was the case. Had he intended to shoulder all the blame himself from the very beginning? At that moment, Yinglili felt incredibly envious of Yao Ji. This kind of happiness, having a senior brother to hold up even if the sky fell, was probably something that only belonged to Yao Ji.
Of course, although she was envious, Ying Lili did not consider herself the kind of person who was afraid of death and dared to do things but not to take responsibility. It was just that after she came in, her attention was all on the Shamo Temple and the four senior teachers, and she even forgot to ask for forgiveness. Now, seeing that Wu Su was going to bear all the consequences alone, she felt guilty.
Wusu himself, however, didn't react much at this point. He even seemed somewhat relieved that the Senior Sensei hadn't suggested punishing Yaoji. For him, this was already the best possible outcome. He stopped his fellow apprentices from pleading for mercy, kowtowed deeply to the Senior Sensei, and prepared to accept his punishment. Then, a clear voice rang out from within the hall: "Wait a minute, Senior Sensei, you've wronged me. This incident was caused by me. I was willful and kept pestering Senior Sensei. Senior Sensei Wusu had no choice but to do so. Therefore, Yaoji doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness from the Senior Sensei, but I beg you to let me accompany Senior Sensei in the punishment."
When these words came out, not only Wu Su was stunned, but the brothers and sisters beside her were also stunned. Everyone seemed to think they had misheard. What did she just say? She wanted to be punished together with Brother Wu Su? Was she crazy? Everyone knew that the eldest brother volunteered to be punished in order to protect her, but she actually asked to go to the "Demon Cave" to be punished?
Wu Su's expression suddenly changed. Is she crazy?
The expressions on the faces of the four senior uncles were even more interesting at this time, and the first one to speak was the rat-eyed senior uncle Qingfeng: "Since you two are so in love and want to be punished together, let's go to the 'Demon Cave' together!" The look on his face when he said this was a little unfathomable.
As soon as these words came out, the other three elders glanced at him with displeasure. Yao Ji's identity was different from Wu Su's. After all, she was one of the reincarnated spirit children. If something happened in the 'Demon Cave'... the consequences were not something any of them could bear. However, Qingfeng was also a dignified elder of the Shamo clan. Once he said something, it was like water spilled on the ground. It could not be taken back. Moreover, for some reason, this uncle Qingfeng was unusually persistent in his opinion this time. The other three did not know what to say.
'Demon Cave'.
Moreover, Ping Lili also made an unexpected discovery. Among the senior sisters who had just begged for mercy, there happened to be one who was wearing a very familiar golden headband. She was a woman with a somewhat cold look in her eyes. If it were not for the headband, Ping Lili might have subconsciously thought that she was a woman who was not interested in fighting with the world, because there was no desire or hatred in her eyes. There was an extremely indifferent and peaceful look in her eyes. She was very peaceful when she looked at herself and Wu Su.
However, if Gong Lili remembered correctly, when she was attacked before, the attacker she saw while pinching the Life Spirit Technique was wearing such a golden headband.
Is this a coincidence?
Moreover, looking at the figure of that senior sister, it is almost completely consistent with the attacker in the memory. The age of this so-called senior sister is very similar to mine, no, to the current Yao Ji. They both look to be fifteen or sixteen years old. If I am not mistaken, she should also be one of the candidates for the reincarnation?
This made Ying Lili have to have some doubts in her heart. Could it be that there is some more sinister private competition ? However, looking at the face of this senior sister, it really makes people not want to doubt her. The human heart is indeed unpredictable.
Ying Lili sighed secretly in her heart. Although she knew that Yao Ji and herself had little interest , that position was a hot commodity in the eyes of many people. It was entirely possible that someone would do anything for it, regardless of the interests of their fellow disciples.
Shamo City is indeed a place full of dangers and dangers, and we cannot be careless at all!
Uncle, sister, and brother—none of them were easy targets. How should he cope with this? Ping Lili suddenly felt like she was surrounded on all sides, and her scalp tingled slightly…
No, this couldn't happen. If she fought alone, her fate would definitely not be any better than Yao Ji's. She might even die faster than Yao Ji! She had to find reinforcements among these people!
Ping Lili's gaze naturally fell on Wu Su, who was staring at her with a reproachful look. His originally deep and desolate eyes now held a flame. She knew that this was not resentment, but pity. Deep in his pupils was pity.
If she had to choose a reinforcement from among these people, she would rather choose Wu Su.
At least when she was acting as Yao Ji.
