The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 16 Betrayal
On the day when the results were announced, the martial arts arena was crowded with people, looking forward to it.Although everyone already knows the ranking, it will only be counted if it is officially announced at the end.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Daoist Qinghan stepped into the Yanwuping auditorium. He cleared his throat, looked around at the disciples in the field, and said loudly: "Disciples, everyone has worked hard this month. After a competition, everyone Only then can you be aware of your own shortcomings, and you can learn from each other in the future.

Qingcheng's young generation is very strong, which makes the elders very pleased.

According to the rules, the list of ten disciples shortlisted for the Big Dipper Array is now announced. No.1, Qin Yongjie. No.2, Fang Honglei. No.3, Zhao Yu. No.4, Qiao Gang..., No.10, Qi Dahong.The above ten disciples will be exceptionally promoted and entered into the Xuantian Cave Mansion, where they will practice for a period of one year.Practice Qingcheng's supreme classic "Su Shu"..."

After the list was announced, there was an uproar in the audience, and all the disciples talked about it.

It is unbelievable that Bai Fu, ranked third in the competition, and He Xiao, ranked No.10, failed the ranking.

Before announcing the list, Bai Fu had a plan in mind, and at first he didn't care, and fought with his fellow apprentices.After all, the result of the competition is third, so don't worry.But after the fifth place, he didn't think of himself, so he couldn't help but feel tight.When the list is finished, there is no self, and Bai Fu's nameless anger rises.

"Let's go, let's ask Taoist Priest Qinghan, what's going on?" Bai Fu was extremely angry.

He Xiao's expression was complicated, with joy and sorrow, he said: "Forget it, it's already been announced, so what's the use of asking? The elders must have thought about it."

"How can this kind of thing be forgotten!" Bai Fu didn't care about He Xiao's tone, pushed aside the crowd, and walked to the front of the stage.Bai Fu first gave a deep salute to Taoist Priest Qinghan, and said, "Uncle, according to the rules, this selection only uses martial skills as the only criterion. The results of the competition between me and Junior Brother He Xiao are No.3 and No.10 respectively. Why did you fail?"

"Well..." Daoist Qinghan looked at Bai Fu sympathetically and said, "When the elders made the final selection, they also took factors such as Taoism and morality into consideration."

"Then why didn't the criteria be announced before the competition, and why didn't other factors be publicly evaluated?" Bai Fu refused to let go.

"Bastard! How dare you question the Council of Elders?" Daoist Qingshi who was sitting on the side was furious.Seeing the climax of the development of the situation, many disciples who had already dispersed gathered again.

Bai Fu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Uncle Qingshi, I dare not. It's just that the selection is open and fair, and all selection conditions should be transparent. The results of the competition between the disciple and Junior Brother He Xiao are No. 3 and No. 10 respectively. Why? Failed, the disciple wants to ask clearly!"

Daoist Qingshi smiled instead of anger, and said: "Well, well, I wanted to save some face for you. But if this is the case, then I will tell you!"

Seeing the dispute between the two, Daoist Qinghan hurriedly smoothed things over: "Brother, wait a minute, this matter should be decided after the master returns."

Daoist Qingshi snorted coldly and said: "When the head master comes back, these bastards will not make a fuss! Since they want to be fair and open, let's be fair and open. Our elders will judge impartially, so why worry?" Yi Shen, walked to the front of the stage, and said to the disciples in the audience: "For all the disciples in Qingcheng, this selection is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is even a chance to change their destiny. Do you think the selection should be Just and fair?

"Should!" The disciples said in unison.

"Then if someone doesn't rely on real ability, but relies on crooked ways to get promoted, do you want to be severely punished?" Daoist Qingshi roared out of righteous indignation.

"Severe punishment!" The disciples raised their fists high and roared.

Bai Fu's heart tightened, and he took a peek at He Xiao.He Xiao's face was as calm as usual.Bai Fu felt relieved.

"Okay! Bai Fu and He Xiao played fake matches in the competition to cheat for promotion. Do you want to deprive them of qualifications?"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience exploded.

Bai Fu couldn't hold back his face, and asked loudly: "Uncle Qingshi, how can you spout blood?"

Daoist Qingshi glanced at him contemptuously, and said: "Bloody mouth? Okay, then I will show everyone the evidence!" After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket, unfolded it on the spot, and said loudly: "This is He Xiao The report on the fight against match-fixing in your own handwriting! He Xiao, come on stage and tell everyone, have you ever played a match-fixing match?"

He Xiao came onto the stage like a puppet, plopped down on his knees, and sobbed in a low voice: "I'm sorry, fellow disciples, I was so insane. In order to advance, I specially found Senior Brother Fu, and asked him to let me win, so I can guarantee to advance to the top ten!"

Bai Furu was struck by lightning, and there was a bang above his head, surrounded by all kinds of faces and voices. "So shameless, in order to advance to the anti-counterfeiting competition!", "It's a pity that the head of the family thinks highly of him on weekdays, so he is such a guy!", "I don't know how many benefits have been received from He Xiao? No, He Xiao's family is so poor, and he has the heart to accept his benefits." .”

Bai Fu didn't even know how he got out of the martial arts arena in the end, he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground.

……

After calming down, Bai Fu couldn't wait to find He Xiao, and said, "God knows this, how did Uncle Qingshi know?"

He Xiao knew that he was sorry for Bai Fu, sobbing, "Daoist Qingshi has a hundred mu of paddy fields at the foot of the mountain. I usually help him farm and subsidize his family, so we have some friendship. That day he called me into the inner house and asked me if I wanted to be shortlisted for the top ten." Of course I thought about it, but I also know that I am not good at martial arts, let alone the top ten, the top [-] may not be able to enter. Taoist Qingshi said that he can help me. The condition is that he will cultivate his paddy fields for free in the future for ten years. I can accept this condition, so I readily agreed.

After the start of the group stage, I made great strides all the way, and even defeated a few seniors who were usually stronger than me in martial arts, and successfully advanced.I just believed that Uncle Qingshi made arrangements for me behind the scenes.

Until the final confrontation with you, Uncle Qingshi said, you are the disciple of the head of the sect, he cannot command you.He also knew that we had always been friends, so he asked me to find you.This is what happened later.

Two days ago, Uncle Qingshi came to me and said that Daoist Qingzhu had found out about our fake match.If you strictly punish according to the school rules, your grades and mine will not only be invalidated, but you will also be expelled from the school.

I proposed the anti-counterfeit match, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the door regulations, but I ask the master to forgive you, and I will bear it alone.

Uncle Qingshi pondered for a long time, and asked me to go to Daoist Qingzhu to confess. He helped me mediate and try to deal with me leniently and not cancel your grades.

When things got to this point, I had no other choice, so I agreed and wrote a confession.

Brother Fu, if I know, he will also deprive you of your grades, I will definitely not agree!You have to believe me! "He Xiao's knees softened, he took Bai Fu's hand, knelt down to Bai Fu, and begged for forgiveness.

Bai Fu angrily scolded He Xiao for his stupidity and cowardice, and hated Daoist Qingshi's despicability even more: "Why are you so stupid! Once you confess in black and white, the evidence will be as solid as a mountain. Uncle Qingshi has always been a hypocrite, how can you believe his words! Really! Get mad at you!
However, as you said, Uncle Qingshi and Daoist Daoist benefited you first, this matter is not entirely our fault!It can be deduced from this that there may be other inside stories about the selection of the Seven Star Sword Formation this time, and the people behind the scenes are even more abominable!We sued the elders and asked the elders to give everyone justice.Even if the selection results are still invalidated, you can't be bullied anymore, and you still have to do it yourself! "

At this point, Bai Fu stared into He Xiao's eyes and asked seriously: "If I go to the elders to sue, are you willing to testify?"

He Xiao was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Fu, I am willing to testify."

"Good brother! Daoist Qingshi is so despicable! I'm going to find him to argue!"

As soon as he made up his mind, Bai Fu's blood surged, he pushed aside He Xiao's obstruction, and went straight to Songhe Hall!
