A month later.
In the depths of Taiqing Island, a certain prison.
The soldering iron fell on the chests of the two prisoners on the execution rack, and the prisoners let out a scream.
Behind a clean desk not far away, Zhao Yuanjiao looked coldly at the torture scene in front of him.
"Senior brother, we have checked the information registered by these new disciples one by one, and finally found the flaws, and finally found out these two demon sect masterpieces." A junior brother reported.
"Did you ask anything?" Zhao Yuanjiao said in a deep voice.
"They have a low status in the Demon Sect and don't know much, they only know that after worshiping my Taiqing Immortal Sect, there will be miscellaneous disciples to contact them, and they don't know the specific identity. However, they said that someone in the Demon Sect already occupies a high position in my Taiqing Immortal Sect."
"I really don't know if I don't check, the Demon Sect, has penetrated my Taiqing Immortal Sect to this extent?" Zhao Yuanjiao said with an ugly face.
"Senior brother, this matter is not trivial, do you want to report it to the pulse master?" The junior brother was worried.
"I have already reported it, and I am fully responsible for a thorough investigation of this matter. I must let them pay their debts!" Zhao Yuanjiao said coldly, "This matter should not be publicized, just inquire quietly, pry open the mouths of these two demon sects, I don't believe there is only such a little news."
"Yes!" The junior brother responded.
"By the way, is there any movement over there in the Sutra Pavilion?" Zhao Yuanjiao looked at the junior brother.
"Senior brother is concerned about Junior Brother Nanfeng, right?"
"Junior brother? Hmph, I haven't found out his details yet, it's too early to call junior brother now. What is he doing this month?" Zhao Yuanjiao asked in a deep voice.
"Senior brother knows about the competition with Junior Sister Xiaoyu that day?"
"Well, Xiaoyu is not familiar with marching boxing, under the suppression of cultivation and fixed boxing techniques, naturally not as familiar as the kid who practices marching boxing every day, losing to him is nothing. Do you think reading a few more Taoist scriptures will scare people? I memorized more scriptures than he had ever heard, Junior Sister Xiaoyu was too sincere, and she gave him three hundred taels of gold?" Zhao Yuanjiao said coldly.
"However, Elder Ku seemed to be extremely concerned about that kid, and personally taught him "Ba Quan" for five days before starting the retreat. Moreover, Elder Ku used to like to punish people for endorsements, but this time, he didn't punish that kid once." The disciple of the Taiqing Immortal Sect smiled bitterly.
"Did you teach him for five days in a row?" Zhao Yuanjiao frowned slightly.
"That's right, for the next twenty days, his life was very regular, practicing Baquan in the morning, and reading books in the Sutra Pavilion from the afternoon to the evening."
"Reading a book in the Sutra Pavilion? Have you ever been on the second floor?" Zhao Yuanjiao's eyes narrowed.
"No, he is not qualified to go to the second level at all, and he seems to be reading Taoist scriptures, which is very fascinating."
"Fascinated?" Zhao Yuanjiao looked at his junior brother in astonishment.
You know, I have memorized a lot of those obscure scriptures, and I still haven't understood them thoroughly. Can that thing also be fascinating?
"Yes, it's just a waste of time to eat and sleep." The junior brother said.
Zhao Yuanjiao: "......"
"That kid has read no less than 300 Taoist scriptures this month, most of which are related to boxing." The junior brother added.
Zhao Yuanjiao raised his eyebrows: "What did you say? In a month, he has read three hundred books? Read ten books a day on average? Are you kidding me?"
"It's true!"
"Even if you read it casually, it is impossible to read ten books a day, he must be pretending, this kid is deliberately confusing us." Zhao Yuanjiao snorted coldly.
"But...... That's what the person in charge of monitoring him said."
"Fart, let you read it, how many books can you read with relish?" Zhao Yuanjiao said angrily, "He must have guessed that someone would spy on him, so he deliberately pretended to be trying to deceive us. It's a pity that although he pretends to be like him, he acts too hard and reads ten books a day? Are we all blind?"
"Senior brother, then ...... now"
"Keep staring at him and see who he is in contact with, he will definitely have a connector. He will definitely evade our surveillance and conspire with the connector. If you encounter this situation, arrest and torture it immediately."
"Arrest him? However, he is a disciple of Elder Ku, we ......"
"Catch!" Zhao Yuanjiao's eyes widened and he said resolutely.
"Yes!"
In the early morning, the Sutra Pavilion.
Under a ray of sunlight, Xiao Nanfeng sat cross-legged, swallowing the breath of the morning sun. After a stick of incense, a cloudy breath was exhaled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Surrounded, there was still non-stop chanting, and Xiao Nanfeng enjoyed the environment here very much.
At this moment, a handyman disciple came to his side with a food box.
"Senior Brother Nanfeng, you are lucky, a batch of golden demon eels came to the kitchen yesterday, I have cooked a slightly smaller one according to your requirements, and now you can eat it, this golden demon eel costs one hundred taels of gold." The miscellaneous disciple said respectfully.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Nanfeng said politely.
"I'm just a handyman disciple, listen to Senior Sister Xiaoyu's dispatch, and just call me Tang Xiaoyi directly!"
Xiao Nanfeng took out one hundred taels of gold and handed it to Tang Xiaoyi, this month he had spent 1,300 taels of gold to buy ingredients for the Yang attribute, this was the last hundred taels.
He sat at the dining table next to him, opened the food box, and ate it in front of a plate of golden demon eel.
"I knew that these golden demon eels must be indispensable to you, are you going to eat them to death? Cluck!" Xiaoyu's laughter suddenly came.
"Senior sister? Why are you here?" Xiao Nanfeng looked for a voice.
But she saw Xiaoyu dressed in tight black clothes, her outlined upper body was extremely prominent, her slender waist was squeezed, and she walked over in a good mood.
"I'll come and see how you are a loser!" Xiaoyu smiled and said, Xiaoyu pointed to the people who had thought about endorsing the cliff, "Those senior brothers and brothers who thought about the endorsement under the cliff, it was already miserable enough to be punished for endorsement, and now they have to endure hunger and smell the aroma of your meat? Have you considered their feelings?"
"Gurgling!"
Sure enough, the disciples who had several endorsements let out a rumbling in their stomachs.
"Brothers can also buy it, and they don't fast during the chanting." Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.
Xiaoyu rolled his eyes: "The resources of one thousand taels of gold in the sect every year are for you to spend for a year, and you have spent it all this month, so the rest of the days are over? Do you think others are the same as you?"
Not far away, the senior brothers who were chanting the sutras cast a burst of schadenfreude expressions, just like you eat this way, for the next eleven months, you just wait to eat soil.
"I can't help it, if I don't eat, my cultivation will grow too slowly." Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly.
"I hope you buy more so that I can make money! This demon eel, but I exchanged my life for it, this time I went out with my brothers to suppress a sea demon cave and caught a lot of golden demon eels." Xiaoyu said proudly.
"Huh? Co-author, the dish I bought for a hundred taels of gold, all the money ended up in your pocket?" Xiao Nanfeng was surprised.
"That's not the case, the people we went out to hunt monsters this time will only earn a thousand taels of gold based on how much credit we put in." Although Xiaoyu was humble, his eyes were full of pride.
"If you go out and have monsters to eat, and you still have money to make?" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes lit up.
"Aren't you envious? Do you want to take you out to make money?" Xiaoyu bewitched Xiao Nanfeng.
"No, my current cultivation is to die when I go out, so I should stay in the sect and practice hard." Xiao Nanfeng shook his head decisively.
"Cut, you have eaten up 1,300 taels of gold this month, can you still practice a fart? If you don't have the Yang spirit to eat, you don't know if your Chaoyang Gong will be improved until the Year of the Monkey and the Month of the Horse." Xiaoyu said with a disdainful face.
"This, senior sister, you don't have to worry about it, even if there is no spiritual object in the Yang Spirit, I still have countless scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, reading makes me happy!" Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and continued to refuse.
Light rain: "......"
I thought that Xiao Nanfeng was flattering Elder Ku that day, but this month, Xiao Nanfeng actually really endured it and read Taoist scriptures there every day.
Does reading make you happy? Are you sick? Can you say such cheeky words?
"Senior sister, is there anything wrong with me?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? I choose the best chef to deliver food to you, and you don't want to see me like this?" Xiaoyu glared at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly: "Senior sister has said too much, if there is anything wrong with senior sister, just say it, if you can help, I will never refuse."
"What I am waiting for is your words." Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Xiao Nanfeng: "......"
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I just want to apprentice Elder Ku and let you help me blow the wind in my ears." Xiaoyu said with an earnest face.
"That day, I heard that you wanted to learn the piano from Master, is Master's piano very powerful?" Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know?" Xiaoyu was surprised.
"I know Master is powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is, can you tell me?" Xiao Nanfeng said curiously.
Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Nanfeng with a strange expression: "You are really a fool and have a stupid fortune, and I picked up a big bargain for you."
Xiao Nanfeng: "......"
"Let's put it this way, Elder Ku entered the Tao with music, and in terms of the Qin Dao alone, he was absolutely the first in the sect, and even the sect master couldn't compare! Oh, by the way, it seems that someone can compare with Elder Ku in this regard before, but that person has not been heard from for decades." Xiaoyu recalled.
"Oh? Who?" Xiao Nanfeng said curiously.
"It seems to be called...... Xiao Hongye? A certain elder of Huangmai." Xiaoyu recalled.
"Xiao Hongye?" Xiao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Hongye? Isn't that my father?
