All those who came back from the back of Shushan mountain entered the Shushan hall. In the main hall, almost all Shushan elders have been waiting in it.
There was not much nonsense. After the people took their seats, Qin Haotian opened his mouth.
"Let's talk about major events first. This time, when the Shu ruins were opened, there were unprecedented blood souls. We are in Shu mountain, but we can't sit still!"
"Fortunately, the blood soul was killed after all, which is a blessing for Shushan and even for all the people in the world! In this matter, the leader Gu Zheng of Emei and the elder Xiaochen of Ziyun palace played a key role. They are all models of justice in the world and well deserved heroes to kill demons!"
With Qin Haotian's praise, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zheng and Chu Xiaochen. In such an environment, Chu Xiaochen smiled back at his eyes. Although Gu Zheng did the same, he sneered in his heart.
As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Zheng gave birth to a feeling of being peeped. This is that some immortals are paying attention to him with divine thoughts. Gu Zheng was not surprised by this. After knowing that the three supreme elders of Shushan left this morning, he had the consciousness of being spied.
"If I were an ordinary cultivator, I really couldn't find it if you observed me secretly like this." Gu Zhengxin said.
"Now let's invite the ancient leader to give a detailed account of what happened in the cave."
Qin Haotian put forward such a request. It's not surprising that Gu Zheng. Not only that, he also knows that Qin Haotian will ask many questions on this hall. In fact, it's not suitable to ask here.
Gu Zheng said the "facts" aside. The Hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were all kinds.
"Oh, this is an unprecedented event in the ruins of Shu! It's such an important thing to give up allies and flee, or to pursue and kill blood souls! Lord Cai, how do you teach the disciples? They are dead. If they don't die, even if the blood souls can be killed smoothly this time, they can't escape the blame and punishment!"
Under normal circumstances, Qin Haotian is happy and angry, but today he patted the table and stood up. His angry appearance scared the needle falling in the whole hall.
"The lesson of leader Qin is that after this moment, I must discipline the disciples well!"
In the face of Qin Haotian's anger, Cai Jin, the leader of Lingjian sect, quickly stood up and said his position.
"Hum, if such a thing happens again, Lingjian sect will never set foot in the ruins of Shu again!" Qin Haotian glared at Cai Jin, and then glanced at the people coldly: "the warning just now is not only for Lingjian sect. If you dare to imitate Lingjian sect in similar events in the future, you will lose your qualification to enter the ruins of Shu!"
"Yes!"
Representatives of all sects responded collectively.
"The unprecedented emergence of blood souls, except that Qingcheng sect and situ family did not participate in the pursuit, Emei sect, Ziyun palace and Lingjian sect all participated. This overall attitude is commendable first! Shushan has always been a school with clear rewards and punishments. The branch school that pursued blood souls this time should be rewarded!"
"Reward all branches and sects chasing blood souls and exempt the tribute from the Shu ruins!"
Qin Haotian's voice fell to the ground. People from the five branches and sects expressed joy and pain on their faces.
Every time the Shu ruins are closed, you enter the branch sects and pay tribute to Shu mountain after you come out. This tribute is given to the resources in the Shu ruins. The fewer people you enter, the less resources you need to pay tribute, and vice versa.
For such a reward, the most happy sects are Emei and Lingjian sect.
Emei is happy because they entered the Shu ruins this time. The four people need a lot of tribute resources. In particular, Gu Zheng has been to the cloud and fog Valley! As long as you have been to a sect in Yunwu Valley, you need to pay tribute to a certain amount of fairy fruit, and fairy fruit is also the only irreplaceable tribute resource!
Lingjianzong is happy because some of the resources they harvested in the Shu ruins were squeezed by the ancient struggle, and some were wasted with the death of Han Yi and others. The rest is really very few! But if they pay tribute according to the head, they have entered the Shu ruins, and there is probably nothing left after paying tribute.
As for Ziyun palace, they are happy, but certainly not compared with Emei and Lingjian sect. Their happiness is relatively normal. In situ's family and Qingcheng sect, everyone's face was full of pain! Their people evaporated in the Shu ruins and did not participate in the pursuit of blood souls. Naturally, there was no reward. However, they don't need to pay tribute. After all, they didn't get resources from the Shu ruins this time.
"Everyone's reward has been said. Next, naturally, there should be a personal reward. For the sects where the two demonic heroes belong, each will be rewarded with a quota that can enter the spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak! This quota can be used recently or during the grand meeting in the next ten years!"
Qin Haotian's voice fell to the ground. The people of the other three branches immediately fell on Emei and Ziyun palace with envy, jealousy and hatred.
The spirit sword area that can hide the sword peak does not necessarily harvest flying swords, but the qualification to enter the spirit sword area has always been particularly precious.
For the branch sects, there are only two ways to obtain the qualification to enter the spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak.
First, in the ranking event, the sect ranking first in the branch has the qualification to select one person to enter the spirit sword area of Tibetan sword peak, and this person must be one of the three people participating in the ranking competition. In other words, through the ranking of sects, there is only one place in the spirit sword area among the branch sects every ten years.
Second, every time the Shu market is opened, all branches and sects can also get a place in the spirit sword area if they pay the most tribute to Shu mountain after leaving the Shu market! In other words, if you want to get this quota, you need to pay a lot of resources, especially when multiple sects want this quota, it's like an auction.
For the quota of Lingjian District, Gu struggle is inevitable. He is already ready to compete with resources. But the plan can't keep up with the change. Such a reward is really good for him. It can save a lot of resources!
"Shushan has always been clear about reward and punishment. I haven't finished the reward, and this reward will be linked to punishment."
Qin Haotian glanced at Cai Jin, which made Cai Jin immediately have a very bad hunch. Sure enough, Qin Haotian, who spoke again, said rewards and punishment, which made Cai Jin fall into a chair.
"In view of the outstanding performance of the disciples of Lingjian sect in the Shu market, I decide to deduct two places for the next Lingjian sect to enter the Shu market. If Lingjian sect ranks fourth in the next ranking event, they will lose the qualification to enter the Shu market! If Lingjian sect ranks last, they will lose the qualification to enter the Shu market at the same time, Till the next Shu market opens! "
"The two places deducted by Lingjian sect will be rewarded to Emei sect and Ziyun palace! If the next Lingjian sect ranks fifth, his place will be used by Emei sect first."
A trip to Shu ruins can provide a sect with training resources for the next few years. A big sect like lingjianzong did not bring much resources this time, which was an extremely heavy blow. Now two more places have been deducted. In the next ranking event, the sect strength of Lingjian sect is bound to decline sharply.
Regardless of how depressed the people of Lingjian sect were, Qin Haotian finally asked a question that was not suitable for this occasion.
"Ancient leader, in addition to killing blood souls in the ruins of Shu this time, many of your performances are amazing!"
"The decoction made from Yeming flower, spring withered grass, sweet grass, purple flame flower, silver frost leaf, blue star fruit, burning sun flower vine and gold and silver root can really cure the loss of pure Yin Qi! How did you do that?"
"And in the underground cave, the amber paste you brewed with many kinds of herbs and food materials can make the practitioners in the later stage of the fifth floor more resistant to high temperature! How did you do this?"
Qin Haotian's eyes were full of curiosity, and he secretly explored the ancient dispute. At this time, he was particularly "careful".
"To cure the loss of pure Yin Qi, I not only used those herbs, but also put some ingredients in the medicine soup. Since ancient times, medicine and food are not separated, and the right food can also cure diseases! I can use things that leader Qin thinks incredible to achieve incredible effects, which can only be said to be the correct method I used. As the saying goes, there is expertise in art. How do I do it, Qin What does the headmaster want me to say? "Gu Zheng frowned and asked.
Although all the branches are from Shushan, they have been separated after all. Although they also listen to the instructions of Shushan, they also have great freedom in many things.
Qin Haotian has the right to answer or not to answer what Qin Haotian asked. After all, the problem itself is exploring other people's secrets.
On the bright side, the ancient dispute has given an explanation, which can be regarded as a great face! If the leader of Shushan didn't ask the same question, other people asked the same question. Gu Zheng didn't need to explain at all! After all, it's easy to annoy people by asking others' secrets in public.
However, from the perspective of the bright side, the ancient dispute also does not give face! He did give an explanation, but the explanation he gave was not much different from that he did not. The person asking questions is the leader of Shushan mountain. He is not only the representative of a sect, but also the leader of Emei sect! The big man's intention is obviously not to want this specious answer.
Under normal circumstances, even if the boss is curious, he won't ask such words in front of so many people. But now that the boss has asked, the person asked should usually answer honestly.
Therefore, when Qin Haotian asked a question, no matter whether others heard a different taste, there was an incredible look in the eyes of Lingjian sect leader Cai Jin, Ziyun palace Princess Chu Li, situ family leader situ Zhengliang and Qingcheng sect leader Pang Xin.
After Gu Zheng answered, the helmsmen of the four branches were obviously surprised or shocked.
For a moment, the scene returned to the quiet smell of needle dropping again.
Qin Haotian looked at Gu Zheng and his expression was very flat. Gu Zheng sat down directly after answering the question. He didn't seem to know that his answer was inappropriate.
As far as Yu guzheng is concerned, when Qin Haotian asked those words, the contest between him and Shushan sect has begun!
Qin Haotian's words are inappropriate, but it is also an attitude, and his attitude is also an attitude to see the ancient dispute.
For such a test, Gu Zheng did not choose to refuse, and naturally would not choose to confess. His most appropriate choice should be to give a relatively euphemistic explanation. However, Gu Zheng did not choose to be relatively euphemistic! His explanation was perfunctory and did not say, but chose to frown! How can such an attitude not surprise the other branches?
Similarly, Gu Zheng's attitude also frightened worry free elder, so that after he sat down, worry free elder with sweat on his forehead gently stabbed him in the arm.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at carefree elder with unknown eyes. Carefree elder motioned him with eyes to see Qin Haotian's face.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Qin Haotian's calm eyes and scratched his head: "headmaster Qin, is there something wrong with what I just said?"
Gu Zheng's eyes are naive, but his words are enough to scare people to death. The helmsman of the four branches is called a tight frown! Carefree elder frowned and closed his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong. You have given an explanation. I'm just still a little curious, so I can't help imagining the combination of ingredients and herbs. However, the innocence of the ancient leader really surprised me!"
Qin Haotian smiled and was very happy, just like being amused by an urchin.
The cocks of the four branches still frowned. No matter what they are thinking, they certainly don't believe Qin Haotian's saying that Gu Zheng is innocent! After all, at the ranking event, Gu Zheng has used his "innocence" to make people know him.
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and Gu Zheng also breathed a sigh in his heart.
If you don't choose to answer Qin Haotian's question with a euphemistic attitude, Gu Zheng is actually gambling!
Not to mention that the ranking event is suspicious, there are too many suspicious places in the medieval debate in Shu ruins! For his abnormalities, Shushan just asked, but once they asked, it would not be as simple as asking casually.
After coming out of the ruins of Shu, when Gu Zheng learned that he was going to talk in detail in the main hall and that there was a ghost in his heart, he felt that Shushan might want to "interrogate" him.
Later, Gu Zheng learned from elder Wuyou that the four Supreme elders of Shushan sect left Shushan for three this morning!
It's not a major event. The supreme elders of Shushan will not leave Shushan, let alone three as soon as they leave Shushan. Only the most angry supreme elder Han Songzi is left to guard the mountain! Moreover, with the supreme elder, the person in charge of detailed discussion should not be the leader of Shushan.
These doubts made Gu Zheng feel that such abnormalities of Shushan sect were all aimed at him!
Then Gu Zheng asked about the sect, and the worry free elder replied that Shu mountain was closed a few days after they entered Shu ruins.
Get this news and let Gu Zheng conclude that all the doubts are aimed at him. There is no reason to meet so many coincidences! He also had some speculation about the whole incident.
"During the ranking event, 'wind speed, food repair' and even my performance attracted the attention of Shushan sect. It was obvious that Shushan was open-minded about these things, but actually Shushan investigated me and even Emei."
"The investigation of Shushan must have startled * * *! It is precisely because the existence of * * * has played a great deterrent role that Shushan has the 'reason' of closing the mountain to cut off the contact between Emei's people who stay here and the outside world."
"I don't know what's going on outside. Naturally, I don't know that people in Shushan have been looking for * * *, so I won't be very defensive! Then, in the face of their 'interrogation', I'm likely to reveal flaws and let them know what they want to know!"
"* * * is an expert who can turn the gods back to the virtual realm. There are only two of these levels in the whole Shu mountain! It is precisely because of * * * that Qin Haotian will come forward for their 'interrogation' of me this time. If Qin Haotian can't ask anything, the next person to appear is afraid that it should be Han Songzi."
"Han Songzi is an immortal. He can use the means that the cultivator does not have, so as to know what he wants to know!"
"Shushan sect doesn't know that I've killed the people of Qingcheng sect and situ family in the Shu ruins. This is a capital crime! It's also because they don't know that I've committed a capital crime, so they don't want to do it well, so they left Han Songzi to 'interrogate' me twice."
"Once han Songzi interrogates me, the means used by the immortals are too high. On the * * * side, he has fallen into the pretext of bullying the small! But because Han Songzi has a hot temper, Shushan can get rid of it and take it as a reason for being too much to me."
With a guess in his heart, Gu Zheng naturally hopes that his guess is correct. Choose not to answer Qin Haotian's question according to common sense. In fact, Gu Zheng is gambling. Is his guess correct!
If his guess is correct, in view of his scruples about * * * and the fact that he is still a demon killing hero, Shushan sect will not pay special attention to his soft knife this time when there will be no bad development in the event. After all, a * * * has made Emei sit firmly above any branch sect, and Shushan doesn't want to offend him easily.
But if he guesses incorrectly, Shushan doesn't know the existence of * * * at all. All doubts are really coincidence. The visits of the immortals in the hall, including Qin Haotian's attitude, are just the big man's doubts and his way of controlling people! Then it's embarrassing. He fought against the big man with a soft knife, or did the big man not embarrass him in public, but it's really a strange thing!
Fortunately, Gu Zheng bet right. His guess was correct. Otherwise, Qin Haotian would never laugh it off.
However, Gu Zheng understood that the confrontation had just begun, Han Songzi had not appeared, and the whole thing had not ended.
The silence in the hall didn't last long. It was broken by Cai Jin, the leader of Lingjian sect.
"Leader Qin, I want to ask leader Gu about something."
Cai Jin made such a request after observing his words and expressions.
"Ask!" Qin Haotian nodded.
Cai Jinwang argued with Gu: "the ancient leader and Han Yi escaped and died. I don't know if the ancient leader saw their bodies all the way later?"
"The suzerain is the suzerain, and the level of questioning is higher than that of the disciples!" Gu Zheng sneered at Wei Xinlin, who asked the same question in the Shu ruins, and then looked at Cai Jin: "I didn't find the bodies of Han Yi and his three brothers."
Later, Gu Zheng didn't mention Han Yi when he talked about what happened in the crypt. He also deliberately gave the people of Lingjian sect a chance to ask.
Anyway, no matter what Gu Zheng said in the story, the spirit sword sect, which suffered heavy losses, will certainly ask for more details. Gu Zheng still needs to give another explanation anyway!
Since the common sense is like this, Gu Zheng simply doesn't mention the trace of Han Yi in the story. When someone of Lingjian sect has enough weight asks, he can answer it at one time.
After listening to Gu Zheng's answer, Cai Jin, with complex eyes, looked at Ziyun Palace: "elder Xiaochen, don't you see Han Yi's body?"
"No." Chu Xiaochen said coldly.
"Hey."
Cai Jin sighed and sat down. Their trip to the Shu ruins was really a big loss.
Not many resources were brought back. Three people died at once, and four immortal weapons were lost at once. Shushan severely punished them! Cai Jin already had the feeling of having no face to face the ancestors of lingjianzong.
"Leader Qin, situ and I have questions to ask," said Pang Xin, the leader of Qingcheng sect.
In the month when Gu Zheng and others entered the Shu ruins, it was inevitable that Qingcheng school and situ family, both of whom had the same quota in the Shu ruins, felt pity for each other. Now their people have died in the ruins of Shu, which makes them feel pity for each other. They are promoted to the same spirit!
"Ask." Qin Haotian nodded as usual.
"We want to ask Emei leader, have you seen situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin in Shu ruins?" Pang Xin asked.
"No." Gu Zheng said faintly. Then when he looked at Pang Xin, he frowned: "I also wonder why leader Pang asked me such a question first?"
"Because the orchard of Emei is closer to the orchard of Qingcheng sect and situ family, I asked the ancient leader first."
Pang Xin and situ Zhengliang did not doubt that Zhao Xin and situ Mingguo were killed! After all, when they enter the Shu ruins, they have to bring back resources for the sect, so they can't take risks. There are no too dangerous things around the Shu ruins. As long as they are not stupid, they will never die in the Shu ruins.
Killing people in Shu ruins is a capital crime. Framing others to kill people in Shu ruins is not a small thing! Because of this, even if Pang Xin guessed, he didn't dare to lead in that direction when there was no evidence.
"Leader Pang is mistaken? Situ's orchard is the closest to Emei orchard, but Qingcheng school's orchard is not close to Emei school's orchard!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Well, I remember wrong. The orchard of Qingcheng sect is the closest to the orchard of Ziyun palace!" Pang Xin stepped down the slope and looked at Ziyun Palace: "elder Xiaochen, have you seen Zhao Xin and situ Mingguo?"
Chu Xiaochen didn't answer immediately, but stared at Pang Xin for a while. Then he said, "do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
Pang Xin answered immediately. He saw pity from Chu Xiaochen's eyes. Maybe Zhao Xin died miserably!
"I haven't seen Zhao Xin or situ Mingguo. However, Ling Xue and them have seen situ Mingguo. According to them, situ Mingguo has bad rules. They went to the orchard of Ziyun palace to seek cooperation. They said that he and Zhao Xin have formed an alliance and promised rich returns to Ling Xue and them. As a result, Ling Xue ran away and Shan Shan left the orchard of Ziyun palace. They haven't seen him since then "Pass him." Chu Xiaochen said in a loud voice, and then spoke to Ling Xue behind him: "tell leader Pang what happened at that time."
"Yes."
Ling Xue answered and told the truth.
In the process of Ling Xue's narration, Chu Li, the leader of Ziyun palace, gave Chu Xiaochen a resentful look. As for the meaning in that eye, it is naturally clear that the two sects have already done so. Why do you have to say such a thing? Isn't it falling into a well and being resented?
Chu Xiaochen naturally knows that Chu Li is looking at her, but she just doesn't squint. For Chu Xiaochen, she could not have said these things, but who let Pang Xin and situ Mingguo have a festival with Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng is kind to her?
After listening to Ling Xue's words, there was a whisper in the hall for the first time. Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin broke the rules and wanted to fan Ziyun palace to break the rules together! Fortunately, they are dead, otherwise it will be a matter of trouble this time.
"Impossible, how could this be possible? Zhao Xin is not that kind of person!"
Pang Xin saw Khan on his forehead. Although Zhao Xin was dead, the punishment of Lingjian sect was ahead. He was really afraid that Qingcheng sect would enjoy similar treatment.
"The Taoist friend of Lingjian sect, I wonder if Zhao Xin has come to you to lobby?"
Situ Zhengliang couldn't sit still, and his pleading eyes looked at the people of Lingjian sect.
Based on situ Zhengliang's understanding of situ Mingguo, he felt that with the unyielding character of situ Mingguo, it was entirely possible to do such bad rules when stimulated. Now people in Ziyun palace have accused Qin Haotian. Looking at Qin Haotian's face, it is unlikely that this matter will be solved this time, unless the people of Lingjian sect can speak for them.
Situ Zhengliang had ulterior motives in asking questions. Zhao Xin was a stable man, so he asked the people of Lingjian sect whether he had seen Zhao Xin, not situ Mingguo! Based on his understanding of the state of situ Ming, without the help of Ziyun palace, situ Ming is likely to try his luck at lingjianzong.
Looking at situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin's pleading eyes, Cai Jin really wants to release water. After all, it is difficult to pay off the human debt. However, after Han Yi's escape, the Lingjian sect now is no longer the former Lingjian sect. Shushan is unhappy with them, which makes him dare not do anything special at this time.
"Wei Xinlin, have you seen Zhao Xin and answered truthfully." Cai Jindao.
"Master situ, I didn't see Zhao Xin, but I saw situ Mingguo. As Ling Xuedao said just now, situ Mingguo did lobby in the orchard of our Lingjian sect! However, before situ Mingguo finished talking, he was scolded by the Korean leader!" Wei Xinlin said.
"This, this is not true, this is certainly not true!"
Situ Zhengliang argued in a low voice. He and Cai Jin looked at Qin Haotian together and silently begged him to open up.
"This must be true!" Yan Rui, a Shushan disciple who had been experienced by Gu Zheng and talked a lot, also spoke at this time: "Situ's orchard is far away from Lingjian's orchard! But when we cleaned up the spirit beasts in Shushan orchard and collectively looked for medicinal materials, we saw an unhappy situ Mingguo near Lingjian's orchard. I wondered why he appeared there at that time. Now think about it, he should have just been scolded by Lingjian's people!"
"I'd like to add that Yan Rui only saw the unhappy state of situ Ming after he left the forest. But at that time, I climbed on the top of the tree to pick fruit in the forest, but I saw situ Ming leave the orchard of Lingjian sect with my own eyes." Luo Xiao also spoke.
Yan Rui and Luo Xiao have special identities in Shu mountain. Among the Shu mountain disciples who have entered Shu ruins, only he and Luo Xiao dare to speak without asking for instructions at this time.
Yan Rui will testify against situ Mingguo because he seeks truth from facts. Luo Xiao will testify against situ Mingguo because she heard the strange ridicule of situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin when they first entered the Shu ruins! Therefore, she scolded him when she passed by situ Mingguo.
"Hey!"
Qin Haotian sighed and wiped his forehead with his hand: "this is a troubled time! Why did the scum appear in the opening of the Shu ruins?"
After glancing at situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin, Qin Haotian said again: "I have punished sect leader CAI for his neglect of discipline, and now I can't favor you! However, in terms of plot, the mistakes made by situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin are lighter than those made by Han Yi and others. The punishment for your two sects will naturally be different." Qin Haotian said sternly, "Qingcheng sect and situ family, you two didn't have to pay tribute this time, but now I'll punish you! Pay tribute resources according to the proportion of three people in a family and hand them over to Shushan within a month!"
"Yes."
Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin answered at the same time. They seemed to have lost their energy and spirit. During their trip to the Shu ruins, their two families died and lost their immortal tools. They didn't get any harvest. They had to accept punishment. It was really miserable.
His eyes swept through all the branches again, and Qin Haotian stood up again.
"This is the end of the trip to Shu ruins. You can have a good rest after you return to your guest room."
"As for paying tribute to strive for the number of places in the spirit sword area, it is still customary to go to elder Lin to pay tribute and register within two days."
"According to the Convention, the closing banquet should have been held at noon, but this session is different! Among us practitioners, the ancient leader is a great cook. Elder Feng and elder Qin, who have tasted his cooking, are full of praise for his cooking!"
"Therefore, I decided to make the dishes at the banquet by the ancient leader. The lunch was changed to a dinner. I don't know if the ancient leader has any opinion?"
Looking at Qin Haotian's smiling eyes, Gu Zheng also smiled: "I have no opinion at all. It's my honor to be able to hold such a banquet!"
The people in the hall left one after another, peeping at the ancient struggle of God, and broke after he left the hall.
"Hoo..."
Gu Zheng breathed out a long breath. Although everything was expected, the trip to the main hall was really not easy.
However, Gu Zheng also understands that the "interrogation" is not over. The "interrogation" from Han Songzi will be in the afternoon at the latest. There are some things that Qin Haotian didn't ask in the Shu ruins. Han Songzi will certainly ask at that time.
