I respect him so fragrant

Three months later, ghosts fell into the city.

Li Qihan stood on the city wall, watching the people coming and going below the city.

After the last battle, the Guiluo market was under the command of the Four Immortals Sect, and the Four Immortals Sect was responsible for guarding it every three months.

So far, the originally mysterious and distant gray area dubbed "Killer Bazaar" has finally cleared its roots and returned to the right path. Everyone in the world is happy and celebrates.

"Look, this is the way of heaven, and evil cannot prevail against good." Not far away, a short and fat man sitting on a small bench at a tea stand showed two gold teeth, and plausibly said, "I have been sleeping more than before in the past few months." Sleep soundly!"

"Come on, Wang Jinya," said another person sitting in the tea stand with a smile, "You forgot your two big gold teeth, or was it rewarded by the ghostly city lord? It's really whoever is in charge, who's flattering! "

Everyone around laughed.

Wang Jinya didn't care, instead he laughed with everyone: "Anyway, you won't die if you slap a few words, maybe someone will hear it, and you will reward me with two gold ingots just like that ghost-fallen city lord!"

Everyone laughed louder.

And all of this was seen by Li Qihan standing on the city wall.He twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether to smile or not.

An impressive stroke in the history books was originally just a few jokes from other people's tea stalls.The life of the people in the city remains peaceful, and the outside of the city is also as prosperous as before.The only thing that changes are the flowing seasons.

It's winter again.

"Qihan, it's very windy here." At some point, Immortal Sixue came behind him with a cloak in his hand, "I..."

"Reporting to Master, this disciple is not cold." Li Qihan turned around and saluted respectfully upon hearing this, "Master, I'm sorry."

Immortal Jiaoyue heard the rejection in his words, and pursed her thin lips slightly: "This is my cloak."

It wasn't brought here just for you.

"The disciple knows."

The smile on Li Qihan's face couldn't reach his eyes: "Master cares about the world, so he should take good care of his body. Tomorrow's shift ends, and the disciple has something else to do, so he will go back first."

He put away his smile, and looked over the person in front of him indifferently.

"Li Qihan."

Immortal Master Si Xue called him, with a sullen expression on his face: "You really want to be so estranged from me?"

"Unfamiliar?" Li Qihan stopped and said without turning his head, "How dare you, disciple?"

"The disciple just keeps in mind that he is just an ordinary peasant boy. If his words and deeds are inappropriate and his background is suspected, he is afraid that something bad will happen one day and he will lose his life in vain."

"Do you suspect that I will harm you?"

"The disciple dare not."

"Why don't you dare?" The immutable iceberg-like face of the Snow Immortal Venerable finally showed some anger, "You have been avoiding me these past few months, even refusing to see me. You must guard against me." Tight."

"If the master thinks that the disciple is wrong, just punish the disciple severely." Li Qihan's face remained unchanged, "If the body is damaged by anger, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the people of the world? After all——"

He suddenly laughed lightly, with a sad tone: "After all, there are all living beings in this world, but Master spared no effort to protect them."

"you!"

Xianxue Xianzun wanted to say more, but seemed to think of something, and finally lost his temper.

"That's it."

Immortal Master Sixue threw away the cloak in his hand, walked to Li Qihan's side, did not turn his head to look at him, but said coldly: "Patriarch Fang's birthday will be in a few days, prepare a birthday gift for him, don't go back to accompany Xuemen gone."

Li Qihan immediately refused: "The disciple will not go."

"If you have the ability, don't go back to accompany Xuemen for the rest of your life." Immortal Master Ruxue left this sentence coldly, and left.

***

The next rotating fairy gate is Wanyue Gate.

Li Qihan saw Mu Ye standing with his hands behind his back in the corridor of the palace, arranging his disciples to be on duty.

Mu Ye also noticed him, raised his hand to say hello, and shouted, "Master Li!"

Li Qihan stepped forward, nodded and saluted: "Master Mu."

Both of them are young and promising immortal cultivators in the eyes of the world, and they are well-known.But the first real acquaintance was because of Jiang Gu's relationship.

We meet again now, but the old man is no longer there.

Thinking of this, Li Qihan felt a little sentimental in his heart, and couldn't help but ask a few more words: "Shuiyue Xianzun...how is it?"

He asked in a low voice, but Mu Ye heard it clearly, with a mournful expression on his face, and said: "What can I do, the news has already spread, and you know it, it will be tomorrow."

If the news of Jiang Gu's disappearance was reported at the beginning, Immortal Jiaoyue could still suppress it, but after a long time, the news has spread widely.

Who is Jiang Gu?Suspected to be the legacy of the Hanjiang clan, and the only apprentice of Shuiyue Xianzun.The combination of these two identities alone can attract the attention of countless people.

But no matter how it attracts criticism, it is still ink and wash in the painting, and it will fade after a long time.After all, apart from unconfirmed rumors and identities, a disciple with no merits or faults and no reputation has nothing to discuss.

But not long after, an explosive news suddenly spread in Zhufang——

The Shuiyue Immortal Venerable who hadn't shown up for a long time went to Weinan's house alone after declaring that he was in seclusion.

Then set fire to the hill holding the wind gate.

If the head of the Wanyue Sect hadn't brought his disciples to arrest him overnight, I'm afraid this immortal will continue.

But even if it doesn't continue, the first two encounters are enough to alarm the sects of various families.

Fang Xuan, the head of the Fang family, was away on business, and rushed back overnight after hearing the news. When he saw the plaque that had been divided into two, he was furious on the spot, and said that if the Wanyuemen did not give the Fang family an explanation, the Fang family would be like the Wanyuemen from now on. Water and fire are irreconcilable.

And the head of Zhifeng Sect even said that Dao Shuiyue Immortal Venerable is so reckless and impulsive, disregarding the affection between the immortal sect, he is really not worthy of being the master of the same sect.

For a time, Shuiyue Immortal Venerable Xie Yao became the target of the Immortal Family and even Zhufang.

And the reasons behind his various abnormal behaviors have also attracted countless speculations.

"If you ask me, it must have something to do with his apprentice." The chat in the tea stall was still going on, Wang Jinya clicked his tongue twice, and said, "When exchanging hostages before, I saw that disciple named Jiang Gu from afar, hey hey... ..."

This well-timed pause immediately aroused the curiosity of others.Seeing that Wang Jinya was about to speak but stopped playing with a playful face, the impatient tea customer urged him away: "Hey, what are you talking about, hurry up and talk, don't be foolish."

"He looks so handsome." Wang Jinya took a sip of his tea and kept smacking his lips, "Anyway, I've lived for decades, and I've never seen such a man. He's so good-looking."

"So, this is called being angry with the crown and becoming a beauty?" The person with good deeds teased.

"The master can do such earth-shattering things for the apprentice, and the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary."

There were bursts of laughter again in the tea stand.

"I just received sixty lashes a month ago," Mu Ye sighed at the palace road department. "The master personally imprisoned him, and he was forced to punish him once. He even ordered his disciples to be punished with severe force. Useless."

"Immortal Venerable has a tough temper, and he didn't yell out after so many blows. If I had known that it was a special whip specially used for execution, the rows of barbs on it would be scary to look at. Ordinary people are whipped once, and half their lives may be It's gone."

"Then how much should the Immortal Venerable suffer tomorrow?" Li Qihan asked.

"Sixty whips." Mu Ye said, "The head also invited other heads of the Three Immortals and the head of the Fang family to supervise. He said he wanted to give an explanation."

"Isn't Fang Xuan's birthday the day after tomorrow?" Li Qihan said, "Master even asked me to back up the birthday gift to send it there. Can he make it in time?"

Mu Ye sneered: "Isn't that just following his wishes? Personally supervise the Shuiyue Xianzun to be tortured, and go back to celebrate his birthday ostentatiously. Since the battle of Guiluo, look at his complacent appearance, a birthday can be passed It is even more beautiful than the old Patriarch Gu in Nanping, which is really off-putting."

Li Qihan was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Damn it."

Mu Ye was stunned, thinking he heard it wrong: "What?"

"Fucking Fang Xuan." Li Qihan clenched his fists, "Even if I don't go back to accompany Xuemen for the rest of my life, I won't give this old dog a birthday present."

***

The night in Wanyue Xianshan is not cold, but very lonely.

To be precise, it is lonely in front of the Huishuo stele.

Xie Yao was dressed in white and knelt alone in front of the stele, his face pale.

There are thousands of disciplines on the stele, and the rules and regulations are telling him that he has done something wrong, stabbed him, and he will be punished.

Therefore, the 120 lashes are reasonable and well-founded, and the nine-day punishment of kneeling should also be punished.

This is fair.

He deserved it.

But Xie Yao didn't recognize it.A month ago, he pointed to the discipline on the stele and asked the people around him which one could bring justice to Jiang Gu. If there was one, he would accept a hundred lashes or a thousand lashes.

No one answered him, only the voice of Immortal Cangyue scolding his disciple why he attacked so lightly.

Sixty lashes whipped him bloody.

Tomorrow is another sixty whips.

Xie Yao knelt in front of the stele.The night wind blew a corner of his white clothes up slightly.He closed his eyes, only to feel the qi and blood in his chest surging, worse than before.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on the Huishuo stele, many people had already gathered around him.

Xie Yao's vision was not clear, but for some reason he could see everyone's expressions clearly.

He saw Qingfeng Xianzun's complicated face, Yunxu Xianchang sighed and stroked his beard, Bixue Xianzun looked indifferent, Fang Xuan seemed regretful but actually proud, Ying Wu shook his head in puzzlement, Senior Brother Jiaoyue was full of anxiety.

He also saw the brother in charge of the sect holding the long whip for execution, and seriously explaining something to the disciple in charge.

Then the senior brother in charge walked up to him and asked, "Shuiyue Xianzun Xie Yao, are you guilty?"

Xie Yao nodded and shook his head: "I don't know."

Right and wrong, he has his own benchmark in his heart, and he never follows others' decisions.

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Never."

Immortal Cang Yue closed his eyes and said, "Hit!"

With the first whip, Xie Yao's already pale face turned even paler.

With the second whip, fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

On the third whip, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

……

For the tenth stroke, Xie Yao covered his heart and supported the ground with his hands to prevent himself from falling down.

No.11 Whip...

No.12 Whip...

No.13 Whip...

No. 20 whips, Xie Yao finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground.

Immortal Jiaoyue's complexion changed when he saw this, and finally his eyes were red: "Shuiyue!"

He rushed to knelt down in front of Cang Yue Xianzun, and said, "Senior brother! It's really not going to go on like this! It's really not going to work!"

Fang Xuan put on an understatement: "Why should the Bright Moon Immortal be so excited? It's only a few dozen lashes. The Shuiyue Immortal has such a deep cultivation, so I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it?"

Immortal Jiaoyue resisted the urge to scold, and still begged bitterly: "Brother, if this continues, Shuiyue will not be able to hold on."

"Then you ask him, did he ever realize his mistake? Did he repent?"

Xie Yao raised his eyes reluctantly, but still refused to admit it: "I did nothing wrong, and I don't regret it."

"Shuiyue, Ah Yao..."

"Then continue!"

No.20 fell down again with a whip.

The author has something to say: Hold on, Master! ! ! ! !

Your apprentice is coming soon! ! ! ! !

To help everyone recall: Yun Xu, the head of Zhifeng Sect, and Ying Wu, the head of Xihua Sect.
