Chapter 606 Punishment
Chapter 606 Punishment
Hearing the questioning of Deputy Hall Xu, Lu Chao looked at Zhang Xiaohua, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. When Zhang Xiaohua saw him, he took a step forward and bowed without being humble and arrogant, "I have met Deputy Hall Master Xu, and here is Ren Xiaoyao, the medicine boy from the Herbaceous Branch of Tianmufeng."
Deputy Master Xu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with great interest and said, "I'm not asking you your name, I just want to know why you are so brave and dare to come openly late."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Before I tell you a reason, I will say something."
"Well, tell me." Deputy Master Xu nodded.
"This is my senior brother from the Caoma tribe. He didn't come late just now. But after arriving, he found that I didn't come and went back to find me. I think, if the Lord Lord is guilty, he will have to bear it. What do you think?"
Deputy Master Xu slapped his high-five and said, "Okay, since you, a little medicine boy, know how to repay kindness, why can't I, the master of the church, distinguish right from wrong? Since he can remember that you are a junior brother absent, he is afraid that you will be punished, so he takes the risk to find you. This is what I just mentioned about the care. His reason is so sufficient, so I will naturally not punish him."
Then he looked back and said to Lu Chao: "What he said is true? Have you been to this yard just now?"
Lu Chao said in panic: "Everything that Junior Brother Ren said is true. When I came to this yard just now, I didn't know that it was Deputy Master Xu who wanted to give us a lecture. Until I saw you sitting here drinking tea, I realized that the matter was serious, so I hurried back to find Junior Brother Ren."
"Okay, a loyal man." Deputy Lord Xu patted Lu Chaoxian's shoulder and said, "You go back. Since you can tell that I was drinking tea just now, you were really in the yard on time. This reason is very obvious."
Lu Chao looked at Zhang Xiaohua, his eyes flashed a few times. He had just said something to Deputy Master Xu, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say it. He lowered his head and hurried to the end of the crowd.
At this time, Deputy Master Xu smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "What about you? Do you have any high-sounding reasons?"
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "When Deputy Lord Xu summoned us, I was not in the house, but I didn't go far. I was in the woods behind the yard, just trying to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Baiyue Peak and forget the time."
"Hehe" Deputy Hall Master Xu smiled and said, "You still listen to the art of elegance, but you can actually enjoy the beautiful scenery of the woods? I don't know how many times I have passed by that woods a year, but why have I never noticed the difference?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "The beautiful scenery is inadvertent. Deputy Lord Xu only cares about the affairs of the hall. Where can I have leisure to look at the wild flowers on the roadside?"
"Well, you are right. I am worried about the affairs of the hall. Even if you go to Youlan Grand Canyon, I will tell you the precautions. How can I see the beautiful scenery in your eyes?" Deputy Director Xu nodded and said, "Since you did not come to the venue on time and were walking around, violating the rules of the station, how should I punish you?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's mind flashed for no reason the torture instruments in the dungeon on the top of Bai Yuefeng Mountain flashed, and her eyes shrank: "I just arrived at the incense sect to spread the incense sect, but I have never understood the rules of this sect. I would like to ask Deputy Director Xu to teach you."
"Look, I know that the canon rules should be learned on the first day of entering the incense sect. We must keep the canon rules firmly in our hearts. If you can remember the canon rules earlier, how could you make today's mistake?"
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. She came to preach the incense sect for so long, but who had mentioned the word "traditional rules" to her? This is not her fault. Just bow again: "What Deputy Director Xu teaches is that he will ask Deputy Director Xu to give up."
Deputy Master Xu was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a beard: "Well, although you make a mistake, you can correct it when you know it. Your attitude is very good. According to your mistakes, you can be light or severe. At the least, you will be neglected by the teacher and punished for a few days of hard labor. At the worst, you will be disobeying the master's order, or whipping the master's orders, or picking off the tendons of the leg."
With a "say", Zhang Xiaohua took a breath and said to himself: "No wonder there are so many torture instruments in the dungeon. This punishment is too severe. But if you just come late, you will have to break your tendons. It's really inhumane! However, from his tone, it seems that there is still room for trouble. Humph, it's better not to make me angry, otherwise you will make a big fuss about Bai Yuefeng."
At this point, Zhang Xiaohua no longer cares about being low-key and makes a fuss in her heart. As long as Deputy Lord Xu dares to take him down, he will show his might and kill Bai Yuefeng.
Sure enough, Deputy Master Xu's tone changed and he said, "But I think you are still young and have just come here and have no key points and do not understand the rules in the church. Well, the key is that punishment is not the purpose, but just a means. Punishment is to prevent past mistakes and cure diseases and save people is our goal. In addition, you have to participate in the "Eight Orchid Refining". This master will allow you to make meritorious contributions. As long as you pick the "Ice Soul Grass" that has been born in the century, I will exempt you from punishment!"
"The century-old ice spirit grass?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Even the disciples in the field were all looking at me. I looked at you. Although there were incredible eyes in my eyes and a little muttering, under the might of Deputy Lord Xu, no one dared to whisper.
Ice Soul Grass is one of the main medicines for refining "Yuyuan Dan", which is what Zhang Xiaohua knows. But can it be easily found in the Youlan Grand Canyon? Zhang Xiaohua doesn't use his head, just use his heels. Well, or look at the expressions of everyone in the field. Zhang Xiaohua just knows that this is definitely not an easy thing. However, it seems that Zhang Xiaohua has no choice. He either agrees to the suggestion of Deputy Master Xu, "being guilty and making meritorious contributions", or accepts the punishment of Deputy Master Xu and accepts the torture of Zhongda's "cutting off the tendons". Needless to say, the latter will definitely force Zhang Xiaohua to kill Bai Yuefeng and completely disrupt Zhang Xiaohua's original plan.
There was no need to consider it at all, and Zhang Xiaohua immediately chose the former. Although the century-old ice-soak grass is rare, it may not be found in the Youlan Grand Canyon. Of course, if there is really not, then it is OK to fight at that time.
So Zhang Xiaohua bowed and said, "For this reason, I would like to thank Deputy Master Xu for his great kindness and great virtue, and for allowing me to make up for my mistakes."
"Okay, Ren Xiaoyao, I like to support my younger generations the most. If you can pick the century-old ice pot grass, I will immediately exempt you from punishment." Deputy Master Xu smiled and his eyes were filled with an unaware of the smell: "Of course, if you can't pick the qualified ice pot grass, don't blame our selflessness for preaching the incense and secting the rules of the incense and sect."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's what it should be."
"Okay, let's go ahead and hope you can live up to my expectations." Deputy Master Xu waved his hand, but he didn't know if he hoped that Zhang Xiaohua could pick the Ice Soul Grass, or could not pick the Ice Soul Grass?
Zhang Xiaohua bowed and bowed again, walked back with her head up. Along the way, there were countless eyes full of gloating. It was not until she came to the disciples of Zhongtian Eye Peak that her eyes changed to worry.
As soon as Zhang Xiaohua stood still, Deputy Master Xu on the stage announced his disbandment and asked the disciples who participated in the trial to return to their houses. It seemed that the purpose of this lecture was to cause trouble for Zhang Xiaohua.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, just walked down. However, Lu Chao blamed himself alone, and often complained that he was stupid. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaohua would go to the woods behind the yard and complained that he should not pull Zhang Xiaohua to the venue. If he didn't come, how could these hundreds of disciples find that they were missing two people? Or if he didn't come to find Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua would naturally not come to the venue. If this person is not coming, Deputy Master Xu may not know even if he has a sharp eye!
The disciples next to him were also worried, but did not speak. Until Zhang Xiaohua and Lu Chao lived in a small house, the disciples looked at the lack of people around him and said, "Junior Brother Ren, you are in trouble. Although this orchid Grand Canyon is rich in spiritual herbs, it has to be picked in less than five years. It has been picked for a long time. Not to mention the century-old ice-soak grass, even those born in fifty years 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 would definitely not happen. I...I..."
Lu Chao showed "I" for a long time, but he didn't say the complete words.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, you are doing this for my own good, how can I not know? I am grateful to you so much, so how can I blame you? The senior brothers are very reasonable, but since the master of the hall puts the problem, I have to take it. If you want to blame me, I will blame you for your whim. If you want to go out for a walk, it can only be considered destined."
All the disciples sighed when they heard this. In fact, hundreds of people were usually in this yard, and they were very depressed. Many disciples had gone out to stroll, but they didn't find anyone who would label them as violating the rules. Zhang Xiaohua doesn't go out on weekdays. She was caught just now. If she said that "If you want to be punished, why not worry?" It would be too much. However, Deputy Master Xu was even more generous in saying that the disciples, even Zhang Xiaohua, were speechless.
Then, Zhang Xiaohua comforted everyone: "Don't worry about me, since the former senior brother Lu Lihong Lu could pick hundreds of years of old ginseng in the Grand Canyon, maybe I could get the century-old ice-soak grass."
A thin disciple next to him heard this and interrupted, "I occasionally heard from the senior master of the Cao Tribe that it was very accidental for Senior Brother Lu to get old ginseng. After he collected some herbs in the area where he collected herbs, he felt that there was no rare spiritual herbs. Then he took the risk and relied on his martial arts skills to forcibly break out of a safe area and ran to a forest in a very distant place."
"But even in that forest, there were brothers who heard the wind and went there again, but they didn't find anything again. After being injured by a beast, they never dared to go out of the safe area again."
"Oh? So that's it." Zhang Xiaohua understood a little.
