Taoist chanting

Chapter 528
Heavy snow fell outside the hall, and the dead branches whimpered and cracked.

Zhang Wenfeng flipped through a stack of files that had been sorted out, and sitting across from Zhuang Yu who had come back from the snow outside, he deliberately chose to talk in the west hall on the top of the mountain to show his importance to this disciple who had been away for a few months, and said: "You don't have to be cautious. , pour yourself some tea."

Zhuang Yu bowed slightly to answer "Yes", took a sip from the teacup and put it down.

After looking through the evidence collected by Zhuang Yu, the timeline and witnesses can all be matched. There are also a few ink papers of the first draft of the Dingxi City Frontier Assistant Division handling the case. After closing the file, Zhang Wenfeng asked: "Is this matter involved? Gu Quan?"

Zhuang Yu sat upright, and said: "Analyzing from the timeline, Daoist Gu Quan is not involved. Before Senior Brother Wei and the others went to Dingxi City, Daoist Gu Quan had already retreated, and when the incident happened, Daoist Gu Quan had not left the seclusion .”

He discusses the matter on a case-by-case basis and does not involve personal feelings.

"Tell me about the next few months, how did things go?"

Zhang Wenfeng omitted the details and went straight to the core. What he needed was a result.

Zhuang Yu rearranged the previous dossiers because he was worried that empty words would cause Master's dissatisfaction. He made the chain of evidence self-consistent. Even if some parts are not perfect, it doesn't matter. The Taoist priest abolished the position of the master of Jinfeng Temple, and now he is wearing a sinful body, reduced to an ordinary disciple, and sent to guard the gate at the foot of the mountain."

"Oh, how did you do it?"

Zhang Wenfeng drank the cool tea in one gulp, and Zhuang Yu who was opposite him hurriedly got up to pour the tea.

A shy smile appeared on Zhuang Yu's face, and said: "The disciple arrived in the state city of Qizhou, wandered around Fangshi Street for a few days, met a few casual cultivators who set up street stalls, and through them met two During the casual practice of the apprentice, he overheard some unknown secrets, and the disciple processed them appropriately, and spread the truth and falsehood.

For example, Gu Chaowen assassinated the respected old temple master. Some details were quite coincidental, and some of the old temple master's disciples became suspicious.

Then came the unfavorable news that Gu Chaowen was guarding himself and stealing, eating more and occupying more.

The last one is the homicide case where Gu Chaowen raped his fellow apprentices before going to Dingxi City to practice, and destroyed the corpses. Anyway, no one was alive or dead, so all his brains were piled on that bad boy. Things broke out one after another inside Jinfengguan, making Jinfeng Feng Guan almost became a joke in Qizhou, and Daoist Gu Quan had to make a punishment for outsiders to see. "

How many shady tricks he has used in the middle, there is no need to explain in detail, lest the teacher's hearing be polluted.

Of the [-] Spiritual Qi Stones he was carrying, there were not many left.

Zhang Wenfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the end of the matter, or is there a plan for the future?"

He, a disciple who has not yet formally apprenticed to a teacher, has intertwined means, vicious and sophisticated, which can be seen.

Zhuang Yu was also a little uncertain about his master's preferences, so he said bravely: "This is just the first step. Let him be ruined first, knock down the dust, let the dust cast a shadow on his mood, interrupt his smooth cultivation path, and create a bottleneck for him. Obstacles, at least three to five years for him to advance."

"What to do next?"

"The second step is to find a way to eradicate the roots and not give him a chance to make a comeback, otherwise let him climb out of the ordeal, and sooner or later he will find clues that I was involved. That guy is very smart. He has already noticed that someone is fueling the flames, so I will come back first. Yes, avoid it."

Zhuang Yu glanced at the face of the temple master, he didn't dare to elaborate on his plan.

Through two casual cultivators, he got in touch with one of the apprentices of the deceased old master of Jinfeng Temple. He was generous with flowers and spirit stones, generous with gifts, and it was not difficult to make friends.

Zhang Wenfeng picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea for Zhuang Yu who was opposite, and said with a smile, "You did a good job."

Needless to say, the point is over.

Kindness must grow teeth, otherwise it becomes indulgence of evil.

Zhuang Yu understood, and the host agreed to his next method of cutting the weeds and roots. He immediately relaxed, and worried that he would be scolded by his master in exchange for hard work.

"Master, this disciple spent more than [-] spiritual energy stones lavishly. Take a look, I made a list."

Zhuang Yu shyly handed over a thin volume with both hands, and he recorded everything.

Zhang Wenfeng took it, flipped through it quickly, and handed the booklet back to Zhuang Yu, saying: "These things should be destroyed, including the file, without leaving the bottom. You must pay attention to protecting your own safety when doing things. This sum of [-] pieces of spiritual energy For Shi's expenses, I will greet the head of the mountain, you will ask him to cancel the bill tomorrow, and when Wei Jingjie and the others come back, they will beat you, I will not help you stop."

The remaining more than [-] spiritual energy stones were regarded as Zhuang Yu's rewards for his errands during this period.

In the end, I made a joke.

Zhuang Yu bowed his hands to thank the viewer, and said with a shy smile, "Senior Brother Wei and the others are good at making money, so they won't care about disciples."

Zhang Wenfeng looked at the prospective apprentice who was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and said: "I hope you can remember a sentence, 'When I am in the dark, my heart is toward the sunshine'. Practice and life are the same principle, and you must not forget your original intention and act."

"Yes, disciple, remember!"

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a teacher apprenticeship ceremony in the main hall, you are ready to go."

After sending Zhuang Yu, who couldn't hide his joy, down the mountain, Zhang Wenfeng got up and paced around the west hall for a while, then left the hall.

The vastness of the world became one color, and the snow became heavier.

Floating down the mountain, he heard the childish voices of Hu Qiang'er and the ancient plum tree ghost laughing in the wind. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He just heard the bad things in the world brought by Zhuang Yu. He needs to appreciate Some of the beauty in the world.

"Master, come quickly, Sister Lengxiang has opened a few bunches of red plums with the mouth of a cup, they are so beautiful!"

Hu Qiang'er stepped on the wooden sword and shouted excitedly.

The ancient plums are planted on the east slope of Xitan Ridge, close to Lingtan water and facing the sun, less than two hundred feet away from the ancient walnut tree on the southwestern slope of Xianling Mountain.

Leng Xiang was wearing a long plain dress. After more than a month of recuperation, her complexion was back to normal, and her little face was pink and tender.

Compared with the coldness and coldness before, there is now a sprite of the same age here, and the two have become friends who talk about everything. She also knows that the fairy temple is not like Xiaonier scaring her. He took good care of her, and even rewarded her with a pinch of divine soil.

The little girl was very satisfied after being taken captive to the territory of the An Dynasty and being able to have such a good belonging.

"I have seen the master."

"Get up, you can smell the fragrance from afar."

Zhang Wenfeng looked at the tops of the jagged and curved plum branches, among the wind knives and frost swords, there were several clusters of bright red plums blooming, as warm as jade carvings, against the white snow all over the sky, they were extraordinarily refreshed, and he was very happy to paint.

In this world, we need eye-catching scenery to wash away the dust in our hearts.
