I lost my brother

Sui Jian thought for a moment, and decided to start from the day she met A Hua.

Although he is physically tired, his mind is still clear-headed, and he clearly explained where he first met Ah Hua, how Ah Hua was besieged by the people of Baiyu Villa, why he brought him by his side, and went to Baiyu Villa when he was in Baifu. After a few night visits, how to rescue Wang Xia later, and analyze why the girl finally bit me back.

Xie Hanzi listened silently, and after a long while, he said in the gentle tone he always spoke to Sui Jian: "Master knows, although this incident was not your intention, it was indeed caused by you. You should reflect here, and punish me tonight." You are not allowed to eat."

Sui Jian raised her head and looked at her master in surprise, and met Xie Hanzi's serious eyes, as if she didn't expect that she would cause such a big trouble and the final punishment would be so simple - no, these are not even punishments

"That kid from the Devil's Cult has run away, right?"

Sui Jian bit the bullet and said: "I let him go privately, just because I think he is also a victim, and I can't arrest him just because of his identity."

Xie Hanzi said calmly: "That's fine, but you should know that the people of the Devil's Cult are used to being unrestrained, and you have to distinguish which is true and which is false." He sighed helplessly and said : "Master is really worried about you."

"Master..."

"By the way, don't kneel on the ground, didn't you see the mat over there?"

Xie Hanzi stopped looking at him, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.He has always pampered and cared for his apprentice without a bottom line, and no one can say a word. If he continues to watch it, he may not even be allowed to reflect on it here. Being caught by the braid and sued to Song Xiaoling is not only not allowed to eat Dinner is so easy.

In order to preserve the portrait of the old man Changqing, the ancestral hall is the only place in Wuwangzong that is not exposed to the sun all the year round, and only a part of the light can be stingy at the door.

Sui Jian looked at Xie Hanzi's figure against the light with complicated emotions. The gentle sunlight shone through his light yellow clothes, making his back seem to merge with the beam of light, and was about to dissipate in the three thousand worlds.

His chest was suddenly as heavy and breathless as if he had been pressed by a boulder, and he stretched out his hand in vain to try to grasp the back, but his fingers could not grasp anything except the fine dust floating in the air.

The gate of the ancestral hall was completely closed, and Sui Jian turned around and saw a cattail mat placed aside—his master had always remembered the trivial matter that his poisoned body could not catch cold.

At this time, Sui Jian really realized the seriousness of the problem. Looking into the smiling eyes of the old man Changqing in the portrait above, he murmured: "Master, what have I done?"

Xie Hanzi didn't return to Qingfengju, but consciously walked to Wuwangzong's meeting hall.It is impossible for Wang Jue to have not heard of such a big event in the martial arts conference, and Pang Ye, who is deaf to the outside world, and Mao Yunfei, who is happy to relax, still don't know anything.

At this time, Pang Ye, who "kept his ears off the window", and Mao Yunfei, who was "happy to be at leisure", had roughly learned about the matter of the Wulin League against Wuwangzong from Tang Yishu's narration.

Pang Ye suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that the senior brother's face is so dark these two days that he can drip water. You talk about him, and he didn't tell us about this kind of thing."

Mao Yunfei said angrily: "This Chang Guanhua who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, if he really dares to provoke Wuwangzong, I will break his leg!"

The dull bell rang suddenly, and the simple and simple ringing quickly echoed in every corner of Wuwangzong.This is the "self-examination bell" of Wuwangzong, and it will only be rung when the door is cleaned.

While the four of them were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of the self-examination bell, and there was a "buzzing" in their heads, and they each said in their hearts: "It's bad."

Sui Jian also heard the ringing of the bell. Although he had never heard the introspection bell ringing in Wuwangzong these years, he had heard its name. It is said that the last time it was ringing was 19 years ago. After the duel between Baijia and Candle Dragon Sect, Wuwangzong cleared out many disciples at once, and the powerful bell rang for a whole day, and the birds in the entire Jiuhua Mountain were almost wiped out.

His heart was in a state of turmoil when the bell rang, and he felt that he was the one who would be cleared when the introspection bell rang this time.

When Pang Ye and the others arrived at the conference hall, the atmosphere was dignified. Wang Jue sat on the chair at the top of the main hall, his always smiling face darkened at this moment, staring solemnly at Xie Hanzi standing in the middle of the hall.

Xie Hanzi looked at him without giving in. Song Xiaoling and Dou Wenxiu had arrived and were sitting on the row of chairs on the left, while Pang Ye and Mao Yunfei walked to the row on the right and sat down.

Tang Yishu and Jiang Yang voluntarily went to join Zhou Yuanzheng and the others who were standing aside.Jiang Yang met Shen Qiongrushui's eyes, and blinked quietly at her, motioning to listen to what the elders had to say first.

Wang Jue said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here. I believe everyone already knows about the Wulin League, so I won't repeat it. About the traitor Sui Jian..."

Xie Hanzi interrupted forcefully, "He's not a traitor."

The other four elders looked at each other and felt that today's Xie Hanzi was a bit too aggressive.

Veins popped up on Wang Jue's forehead, and he suppressed his anger and said, "I and the coaching elders have unanimously decided to expel him from Wuwangzong, and I want to hear your opinions."

Not to mention the master, the coaching elder alone has the absolute right to decide whether the disciples will stay or not. This is the power given to them by the elder Changqing.Xie Hanzi's attitude should be extremely tough, which is why he recruited them all to discuss the future of a disciple.

After all, that is no ordinary disciple, he is Xie Hanzi's personal disciple.

Song Xiaoling pondered and said: "The Martial Arts League will definitely insist on the fact that the Sui Jian is in collusion with the people of the Demon Sect, they will not stop there, and there will be other actions later, just in case, we have to expel the Sui Jian from the division first Shut up their mouths, lest they incite hundreds of sects and make Wuwangzong a target of public criticism."

What people didn't expect was that Dou Wenxiu, who had always been at odds with Xie Hanzi, stretched out her hand to brush her hair, and said mockingly, "When did Wuwangzong become a waste sect that can't even protect a single disciple?"

She glanced around the crowd, and finally landed on Wang Jue's face, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to speak for that surname Xie, whether his apprentice goes or stays has nothing to do with me, I'm just telling the truth That's all."

Shen Qiong breathed a sigh of relief after listening to her, she was afraid that her master would not get along with her, but fortunately Dou Wenxiu was a knife-mouthed bean curd.

Mao Yunfei was very angry and said: "The Wulin League wants to come and make trouble, let him come, come one Lao Tzu to fight one, come two to fight one pair!"

Wang Jue was a little annoyed and said, "All of you are open-minded, but I'm the bad guy." After thinking about it, he asked, "Where's the person from the Devil's Cult?"

Xie Hanzi said flatly, "Let him run away."

Wang Jue: "..."

Wang Jue took a deep breath, "Xie Hanzi, that's a member of the Devil's Cult, and the root cause of this incident, tell me you let him run away."

"He's just a gimmick, no big deal."

Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to become tense, Pang Ye said awkwardly, "We are all brothers from the same school, everyone, talk well, talk well."

Xie Hanzi said coldly: "Little Jane is not at fault, I will never expel him from the sect so hastily. If the Wulin League wants to come, just let them find me, Kunpeng Sword has not seen human blood for many years." He After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Wang Jue seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, stood up and shouted angrily: "Xie Hanzi! Do you like to fight against me so much!"

Xie Hanzi paused, and turned to look at him, "I never thought of going against you, brother sect master."

Wang Jue glared at his back and walked out of the conference hall. The storm of cleaning up the door was full of thunder and rain, but Xie Hanzi's tough attitude could not let it go.

Wang Jue glanced at Tang Yishu wearily. Tang Yishu understood and led the disciples out of the conference hall, leaving the masters to discuss what to do next.

The few people walked a little further, Shen Qiong patted her chest and whispered, "I was scared to death, I almost thought that Junior Brother Sui was going to be kicked out of the school."

Jiang Yang comforted her, "I knew from the beginning that Uncle Xie would not agree."

Neither Zhou Yuanzheng nor Yin Xueyao liked to talk very much, they just listened silently.

Tang Yishu pondered: "I didn't expect that Ah Hua to be a member of the Demon Cult." He said with some headaches: "Are those people in the Wulin League crazy, and they even set their minds on Wuwangzong?"

Zhou Yuanzheng asked suddenly: "Where is Sui Jian? A group of people are arguing about his departure and stay. Where has he been hiding?"

Everyone looked at Guan Yuxiao who was walking at the end, Guan Yuxiao frowned unaccustomedly, "Master took him away, I don't know where he is now."

Sui Jian is of course still kneeling in the ancestral hall.

He really couldn't stand the cold, but fortunately he could still bear the coldness of the ancestral hall. The wound on his arm hadn't had time to change the dressing, and he didn't tell the master that the pain had been stimulating his brain. He was punishing himself in this way. impulse.

Maybe Ah Hua is right, he is indeed a good-for-nothing dim sum, he is conceited about his high martial arts skills, so he fell into other people's tricks.

I don't know how Wang Xia and those children are doing now. Wang Xia is willing to turn against the water, either because she was forced or got some promises. Since she is now the adopted daughter of Baiyu Villa, her life is saved for the time being. .

It has been a long time since the introspection bell rang, and he waited tiredly and anxiously for someone to tell him the news, but he didn't wait for a long time, which shows that he is still a disciple of Wuwangzong for the time being.

The sky was getting dark, and above the ancestral hall, there was a fist-sized luminous pearl emitting a faint light.

His body slowly began to feel cold, his stomach was empty, and his mind was still full of messy thoughts. Sui Jian felt that he was in a terrible situation now.

It suddenly occurred to him that he won the first place in this martial arts conference, but the wishes owed to him by the martial arts alliance probably cannot be counted according to the current situation.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

A clear voice sounded in the empty and cold ancestral hall, "Tsk, you can still laugh after being made to kneel, Sui Shaoxia has a really big heart."

Sui Jian was in a daze, thinking that he was so exhausted that he had auditory hallucinations.

A warm shirt was draped over his body lightly, and the clothes still smelled of grass. Sui Jian turned her head and saw A Hua's beautiful and beautiful face under the light of the night pearl.

Sui Jian smiled wryly and said, "Didn't I let you go, why did you follow me here?"

Zhu Lin sat on a cushion next to him, propped his chin with one hand and said, "The legs grow on me, and I can go wherever I like."

Sui Jian wanted to return the clothes to him, "It's quite cold here, you can wear them yourself."

Zhu Lin pressed his hand in time, and said in a nonchalant manner: "I am old and old, I am still young, so you can use it."

Sui Jian felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, and said with a smile, "I'm only three years older than you."

Zhu Lin shrugged irresolutely, "It's better than my brain to do things bigger than me, so I've learned a lesson this time."

Sui Jian didn't speak.

Zhu Lin didn't feel that his behavior of piercing people's hearts was disgusting at all. He put his hands behind his back on the ground and looked lazily at the portrait of the old man Changqing.

In the portrait, the old man Changqing has a kind smiling face to everyone, even to him, the son of the person who hurt his life back then.

After watching for a while, Zhu Lin asked, "You haven't told me what you were laughing at just now."

Sui Jian also looked at the portrait of the old man Changqing, and half-truthfully said: "I was wondering if my master was a drinker. I heard that among his six apprentices, my master was the most satisfied, and my master I always like to warm a jug of wine and sit in the yard to drink, I wonder if I learned this from the old man Changqing."

Zhu Lin listened to his serious nonsense, curled his lips and said: "You still have the heart to care about whether other people like to drink, he is almost not your ancestor, Sui Shaoxia."

Sui Jian was a little dissatisfied when he heard his slightly sarcastic "Sui Shaoxia", but her attention was attracted by another meaning in his words, "What do you mean he is not my master soon? What did you see?"

Zhu Lin said: "I passed by the meeting hall when I came to find you, and I heard them discussing whether you will stay or not."

Sui Jian asked anxiously, "What happened?"

The more anxious he was, the more Zhu Lin didn't say anything, Sui Jian was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but his knees were numb until he knelt down, which made him even more embarrassed.

Zhu Lin stopped teasing him, and pretended to be serious: "You promise me one thing and I will tell you."

Sui Jian was not fooled, and looked at him in shock, "Ah Hua, are you really 19 years old? Did you say ten years too old?"

Zhu Lin heard him scolding himself for being childish, and grinned, "Just say whether you agree or not."

Sui Jian had never seen him smile like this before, and she was actually quite good-looking, prettier than all the little girls he had ever seen, her face was slightly red, and she secretly rejoiced that the light here was not good enough for the other party to see.He concealed: "Well, what did you promise you?"

Zhu Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Let's talk about it when I think about it." He stretched out his right little finger and shook it, "Lagou, I'm afraid you won't keep your word."

Sui Jian seemed to know him for the first time, and stretched out her right little finger to hook him with an indescribable expression.

Zhu Lin then said: "I heard from them that if you want to expel you, a rebel who colluded with the Demon Cult, from the sect, you won't be afraid that the Wulin League will come to find fault with you."

Sui Jian's face turned pale, her body swayed and she almost fell down.Zhu Lin pulled him and continued: "I haven't finished talking yet, your master disagrees, and left after arguing with them."

Sui Jian's mood went up and down in an instant, and she looked at Zhu Lin with a blank expression and said, "Really? Master didn't agree?"

Zhu Lin was frightened by his appearance, leaned over to support his upper body, patted his back with one hand and coaxed: "Really, really, you are still Sui Shaoxia of Wuwangzong, tsk, how old are you, why are you always like this?" Vulnerable."

Zhu Lin would definitely not do this kind of action in normal times. Maybe the ancestral hall was too quiet and dark, maybe Sui Jian's pale and frightened face was too innocent. , his hand paused in mid-air as if it had been scalded, and he looked at the top of Sui Jian's head with a complicated expression.

Sui Jian didn't bother to know what he was thinking, her mind was full of "Master did not give up on me", the warmth in her heart even dispelled the coldness in the dark night.

With different thoughts, they leaned together in the ancestral hall to keep warm. In the cold ancestral hall, only a portrait of an evergreen old man watched quietly, as if something had quietly changed in the two of them.

The author has something to say:

Darkness makes people free themselves.
