When Dong Qinghe arrived at the Ministry of Water, Elder Fu Feng and a group of disciples were already waiting outside. When they saw the two of them, they both folded their shoulders and shrank their heads, not daring to look up.

Dong Qinghe ignored them and went directly into the small thatched cottage. It was his first time here, and he saw that there was nothing in the empty inner room except wooden beds, tables and chairs, and a broken cabinet. The debris was overturned and scattered all over the ground in a mess, with a few bloody wild fruits in the middle that were particularly eye-catching.There were two people lying side by side on the bed, their faces were black and lifeless.

Dong Qinghe went to the bed and touched the young man's neck, but there was no pulse. He touched his chest again, but there was no heartbeat, and he touched his dantian, but there was no breath.

Dong Qinghe didn't give up, and lifted Chang Jiaci up, supported his shoulder with one hand to make him sit still, and pressed his back with the other hand, sending an endless stream of true energy into his body.

No one dared to speak indoors or outdoors. After half a stick of incense, Chang Jiaci suddenly convulsed, violently coughed up a mouthful of pus and blood, and fell down in pain.

Dong Qinghe let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to catch him, and turned to look at Po Ge beside him.

Po Ge's hand was lowered from Chang Wang's back, but he shook his head at Dong Qinghe.

"He doesn't have any magic power to protect his body, and he has no way to recover."

Dong Qinghe lowered his eyes, and hugged Chang Jiaci in his arms.

Po Ge got up quickly: "Master, I'm coming."

"No need," Dong Qinghe shook his head, and asked again, "Have you informed Elder Qiu?"

Seeing Po Ge nodding, Dong Qinghe walked out with Chang Jiaci in his arms.

The people standing outside still maintained the appearance just now, seeing the sect master hugging the little mortal with a serious expression, several of them were so frightened that their legs went limp.

At this moment, a few more people came from a distance, the leading man was tall and solemn.The facial features are carved like a knife.

"Elder Qiu," Po Ge nodded to him.

Qiu Mu Wang glanced at the young man in Dong Qinghe's arms who was full of vigor, then looked at the small thatched cottage, and frowned.

Dong Qinghe said coldly: "Check it out for me."

Qiu Muwang nodded: "Yes."

********

Dong Qinghe brought him back to Pianshiju, found a room, and continued to heal Chang Jiaci's injuries for more than an hour. At first, the boy didn't respond, until Dong Qinghe patiently poured out his true energy over and over again. After entering his dantian and breaking through the Qi veins blocked by the poisonous mist, Jiaci seemed to feel pain and moaned mournfully.

His face turned pale from the pain, his whole body trembled, and he muttered nonsense vaguely, as if he was calling his sister, his father and mother, and finally Mr. What.

Dong Qinghe listened silently, but did not dare to slack off in his strength, and did not rest until several mouthfuls of pus and blood from Jiaci were forced out.

Without support, Jia Ci fell into his arms without strength, his forehead hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to his face, looking extremely pitiful and miserable.

Dong Qinghe looked at the weak man in his arms, with a trace of anger flashing between his brows, he couldn't help but raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat.Sitting beside the bed for another half a minute, after confirming that Chang Jiaci was fast asleep, he got up and walked out.

The head of the door left in a hurry just now and didn't bring any servants with him, but now he came back in a hurry and brought another person back, which really surprised Qing Lang and the others, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just stood by the door and let him go. ordered.

Dong Qinghe said to them: "Qingyi goes to Elder Jin to get two bottles of Yuanyuan Pills, Qingyue goes to prepare some clean bedding and supplies and puts them in this room, Qinglang, you go and clean up the people inside and change them New clothes."

After finishing speaking, Dong Qinghe looked back at the closed door and strode out.

It wasn't until the sect master left for a moment that the three servants came back to their senses.

Qingyi was surprised: "Return Yuan Dan? Return two bottles? Elder Jin will cry..."

Qingyue said: "New...clothes? I haven't worn new clothes for many years..."

It was still Qinglang who said calmly: "What are you talking about, don't hurry up."

……

Dong Qinghe left Pianshiju, turned around and arrived at Xingbu, Xingbu Qiu Muwang was in charge of rewards and punishments, and the punishment hall of Qinghemen was also here.

Pushing open the door, Qiu Mu Wang was sitting in the upper seat, while a row of people kneeled below.

Dong Qinghe walked over and looked at the things on the hall, a few half-withered wild fruits, a few fruit stones, and a little weed clippings.

Qiu Muwang only said three words: "Wu Tiao Cao."

At this time, the two tall and burly servants pulled the kneeling two to the front, and Dong Qinghe asked the one in front: "What's your name?"

The man was stunned for a while before answering in a trembling voice: "Yue, Yue Songfeng..."

"You picked the fruit for the brothers of the Chang family? Where is it?"

"Yes, it's me..." Yue Songfeng recognized it but hurriedly shouted for grievances, "It's just some wild fruits in the front room of the Ministry of Water, and the disciples usually eat it themselves. I didn't poison it. kill them, no..."

Dong Qinghe looked at the other person again: "What's your name?"

The other shivered: "Liang, Liang Jing."

"What did you put in the fruit?"

Liang Jing opened his mouth: "I... I didn't poison you either, I didn't..."

"I asked you what you put!" Dong Qinghe mentioned in his usually gentle voice, which shocked everyone in the hall.

"I... I just took some laxatives, it's laxatives, I didn't use sativa, it wasn't me..." Liang Jing also shouted, and the eyes of the manly man turned red, "We thought about punishing them But this fruit was only delivered a few days ago. After Senior Brother Bai Jian came, we didn’t dare to have any other thoughts!! Sect Master, Elder Qiu, it’s not me, it’s not me, I don’t know how they died ..."

Dong Qinghe didn't speak anymore.

Qiu Mu looked aside and opened his mouth.

"Pull it down," he waved to the Xingbu disciples beside the hall, his voice icy, "Three hundred lashes, and drive them out of the Qinghe Gate!"

"Don't... sect master, we are wronged, sect master, Elder Qiu..." The howling sound resounded in the hall, but they couldn't stop the dragging force, and the two were dragged away from the place in embarrassment all the way. , but the sound of begging for mercy lasted for a long time.

Qiu Muwang glanced at the other trembling Shuibu disciples in the hall again, and said in a deep voice: "Bullying others with power, bullying the weak with the strong, scheming like a rat, with bad intentions... Both are disciples of the Qinghe Sect, even if they didn't do anything personally... Harms others, but also violates the sect rules, forgets morals and violates righteousness, and cannot be forgiven. All the disciples of the Ministry of Water can be whipped fifty times, and there will be no spiritual supplies for one year. If they commit the crime again next time, they will be like Nayue and Liang. !"

As soon as the words fell, a group of disciples rushed out from Xingbu again, and took those kneeling down. Except for a few people in Shuibu, no one dared to speak out.

In the end, only Fu Feng was left standing there in the hall. His disciples made mistakes, and he, as a master, should be responsible. The elder of the department is still Shen Yuanxiu, he finally survived until that person left, and he became the head in charge, now for the sake of two mere mortals, the head of the sect wants him to hurt his muscles and bones, Fu Feng is really unwilling.

But he looked at Dongqinghe, and saw the door master sitting there with his face sinking like water, showing no intention of forgiving him at all, while Qiu Muwang on the other side said bluntly: "Elder Fu, do you still want me to invite you?" You?"

Fu Feng's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that this matter was just an introduction. Dong Qinghe seemed to be kind and kind, but if he really touched his rebellious scales, he had always acted swiftly and resolutely and never softened his heart. Now it seems that he is not soft-hearted towards himself. I'm afraid it will be dissatisfied for a long time.

Fu Feng hesitated a little between accepting the punishment and leaving the Qinghe Gate, and decided to choose the former. Even if it is just a small steward inside the gate, it is better than being a casual cultivator outside. Can swallow them all the time.

"The disciple is not effective in disciplining the disciples. I am ashamed of the sect master's trust and willing to accept the punishment. I..."

Just as Fu Feng was about to kneel down and cry to express his loyalty, Qiu Muwang didn't intend to give him a chance, so he stopped talking and asked his senior disciple Fu Chuan to get the old man with a sad face out.

"Pull it down, whip five hundred, and remove the position of the elder of the water minister."

Fu Chuan took the order and dragged the man out of the door.But just after he left the gate of the star department, he bumped into Fangtai who was poking his head over there, and behind her stood the same anxious Miwu.

Hearing that something happened to the little mortal, the head of the sect was furious. Mi Wu, who had had a quarrel with Chang Jiaci, was worried that she would also be involved, but Qiu Muwang didn't immediately invite her to the Xingbu for questioning. Qiong didn't say anything about the fact that she wanted to use the sleeping needle on that little mortal that night, so Mi Wu was slightly relieved.But I also thought that there were many disciples who saw the scene of Xiangtai making a big disturbance in Lingtian, and I couldn't hide it, so Mi Wu took the initiative to find out.

She regrets it now, forgetting that the sect master has always pitied these mortals, she was really reckless.

In the end, before she could ask a question, Fu Chuan said bluntly: "Elder Miwu, you can go back."

"Why, why? Did the sect master or Elder Qiu say anything?"

Fu Chuan said: "It's the head of the sect. The head of the sect told the elders to think about their mistakes in the department."

"What?!" Mi Wu was surprised, saying that she was thinking about her mistakes, wasn't she meant to be imprisoned in the ministry?Over the years, when has Mi Wu been treated like this, "When did the sect master say to think about it?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that I can't leave without his order..."

Mi Wu wanted to ask again, but Fu Chuan had gone away with Fu Feng on his arms, without turning his head, Mi Wu was so angry that he almost smashed Shi Qilin next to the star department.

In the hall, Dong Qinghe was still looking at the wild fruit on the table, and only looked at Qiu Muwang for a while.

"what do you think?"

Qiu Mu looked at the stripless grass, and said: "Taking the 梼杌 Neidan can replenish the soul and improve the cultivation base. In the eyes of many people, it is indeed a good thing, enough to make people jealous. But if Is it because of this murderous intent? My disciples of the Qinghe Sect... are not so stupid and vicious. Could it be that they don’t know that the inner alchemy is not theirs after killing someone? You still have to blame me.”
