Zhenshanhai

The dossiers submitted by the monsters of the Xingtang have already clearly stated the life history, date of enrolling in the sect, and past deeds of the disciples who violated the law, and the mistakes they committed today are also recorded one by one.

Lin Pu pressed his hand on the scroll in front of the case, Hong Qiao stood in front of the steps and said crisply: "Who is kneeling in front of the peak, and why was he arrested?"

The escorted Lishi was about to answer, but the junior uncle interrupted: "Speak for yourself." The Lishi immediately shut up, bowed and retreated.

As soon as the wrestler moved away, the young disciple's heart rose to his throat.

Without a stalwart and tall warrior standing beside him, his pressure increased sharply.

The strong wind was howling, and facing the lonely peak alone, he felt that he was as small as an ant, and the gazes cast by the executioners above were like knives, slashing his body one after another, making his hair stand on end.

He didn't dare to look up at all, and said tremblingly: "Disciple, disciple Chen Zonghuan, from the seventh peak of the outer sect..."

An executioner on the steps came out, and with a flick of his whip, he stretched like a dragon.

The whip wind was piercing, and a long and deep trench suddenly appeared in front of the peak, and the blasted gravel drew several bloodstains on Chen Zonghuan's face, causing burning pain.

"Speak loudly! In front of the teacher, what a shame to cower!"

Chen Zonghuan held back his tears, his face flushed, and he loudly explained everything he had done.

Describe what you have done from a subjective point of view, it is inevitable that you will have your own emotions, and it is normal to beautify and explain your motives.

Chen Zonghuan is no exception.

However, he is not bad in nature. Except for some grievances and explanations of his own, the restoration process of the incident is very similar to the objective records on the scroll, and he did not overly cover up and distort the facts.

This matter is actually nothing, it is just a matter of young people's vanity, showing off and comparing themselves.

Chen Zonghuan has been in the sect for 36 years, and he has cultivated to the third level of the human rank and does not return to human beings. He is also considered to be the best among the group of outer disciples who entered the sect at the same time.

A month ago, he was favored and appreciated by the deacon elders of the Seventh Peak Disciple Hall, who recommended him to be included in the list.

One year later, if you pass the entrance examination school, you can be promoted to the inner sect.

There is also competition among disciples of the same generation in the same batch.

Chen Zonghuan has made rapid progress in practice, but in terms of fundamental aptitude and background, there are quite a few of his group of outer disciples who can overwhelm him.

But let him be the first to get the candidate for entering the inner gate, and the others are naturally dissatisfied.

Most low-level monks who are new to Taoism have a common problem.

When the difference in realm is not too big, there are always people who like to show off by relying on their family background and talk about their talents.

This is also a stinking problem brought out from the world of mortals.

Practicing martial arts and cultivating Taoism, disciples from a well-established family of cultivation, raised in the treasures of heaven and earth since childhood, and taught by the family enlightenment, the starting point of talent is often higher than the disciples from poor mountains and valleys.

But after passing through the fifth realm of true immortals and the initial congealing of the immortal body, the advantages brought by the innate family will almost wear off.

The cultivation methods are different, the experience and the degree of xinxing polishing are different, and the foundation of the Tao is also different.

After cultivators cultivate, the gap will widen and widen, and the strength of monks in the same realm will also vary greatly.

But if it is a minor cultivator in the first three realms of the human rank, the difference is often not big, and most of them rely on the physical foundation brought out of the earthly mother's womb.

At this time, the family advantage will be fully displayed.

Chen Zonghuan has a brother like this.

That senior brother was a secular descendant of a certain elder in the inner sect. His talent and aptitude were much stronger than Chen Zonghuan's, but he was too late to return home.

That senior brother has the style of a young master, and there are many people around him, so his temper is a bit domineering.

Seeing that Chen Zonghuanxiu is fast-moving, one step ahead into the three realms, and got the name of the outer sect elder appreciation record, and he thinks that his strength is not inferior to him, so he is a little jealous. When he sees him, he will always say some acid words, leading everyone to exclude him.

Practitioners follow the Tao and spend most of their time practicing.

According to the amount of experience, Chen Zonghuan can still be regarded as a young man at this time, sensitive and strong in self-esteem.

Jianyu is the first-class Tianzong sect in the world, and its disciples are already proud.

Now Chen Zonghuan is going to take a big step to enter the inner gate immediately, it should be the time when he is in high spirits and glamorous.

But on the one hand, there are envious and adoring eyes from the younger brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, the senior brother throws cold water on him from time to time, saying that he will definitely not pass the examination in half a year, which attracts comments from his peers who question his strength.

Chen Zonghuan has long wanted to hold back his energy to prove himself.

In addition, the sect is afraid that the disciples who have just stepped on the road will not know the severity, and will hurt the foundation of the fighting performance at will or cause damage if they can't control it, so they strictly prohibit the disciples below the three realms from competing with each other.

Chen Zonghuan wanted to challenge his brother to prove that he couldn't even do it.

So after learning a new technique, Chen Zonghuan secretly found a remote foothill in the back mountain to show off to his juniors and sisters.

"The disciple didn't report to the elders, and practiced the method privately. In order to avoid the patrolling warriors, he hid in the remote foothills outside the supervision of the evil spirits of the punishment hall, and performed the art of breaking the veins and controlling the water. The water channel was blocked, and the water in the downstream irrigation canal skyrocketed, flooding thousands of acres of fertile land outside the mountain..."

As he said that, Chen Zonghuan kowtowed, "The disciple disobeyed the order and violated the law, and let the elders punish him!"

Seeing the prostrating young man on the ground, Hong Qiao remained silent, and looked back at her master and uncle for determination.

The sect's regulations are strict and strict, but many of them are as general as the iron law of "not invading the human world" in the practice world.

Take the crime of disobedience committed by Chen Zonghuan in front of him as an example, it can be big or small, and the conviction and sentence are all at the discretion of the executor.

He and his brothers and sisters showed off their vanity, causing the ground water to divert, and the water from the rivers and canals overflowed the surface and flooded the farmland of the people outside the mountain.

What about another scenario?

If the weather is calm, his actions did not cause any bad consequences, or if it is even more serious, the flood floods and drowns people, resulting in a murder, how should it be decided?

See the consequences?no.

The cultivator has great power hidden in his body, and he frequently splits mountains and mountains, even if he subdues demons and demons, he will inevitably involve innocent lives.

The laws of the world of practice are different from those of the mortal world. If one judges a crime based on the result, whether it hurts someone or not, all the monks in the world are sinners.

On the contrary, it was Chen Zonghuan, who did not endanger human life, and this violation of the law did not cause too serious consequences.

As for the diversion of ground water and rivers to flood fertile land and create disasters, it is nothing to Tianzong Jianyu, and it is very easy to solve.

The crime of disobedience is treated equally?It's not fair either.

Today Chen Zonghuan flooded and destroyed the farmland. If Wang Zonghuan and Li Zonghuan killed people in the future, would it still be the same?

Elder Lu also looked towards the top of the peak, only waiting for the hall master to speak, but saw the young master staring at the disciples in front of the peak, and said in a cold tone: "Do you have any objections to disobeying the prohibition in the sect and acting on your own, convicting you of disobedience? "

Chen Zonghuan replied in a low voice: "The disciple pleaded guilty and received the punishment."

"Okay, let's take the punishment and die."

Chen Zonghuan suddenly raised his head in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning.

It's just flooding more than a thousand acres of farmland, so why should it be condemned to death?

But before he could cry out, the black sky thunder exploded, and countless vines climbed out of the soil under his feet to tie him up, and the heavy rain poured down, turning into a mighty and pouring Milky Way!

During the heavy rain, he cried and begged for mercy, and the rainwater poured into his mouth and choked his throat, "Elder, please be merciful! Disciple, I know my mistake, don't dare anymore!"

Crying and begging were drowned out by the sound of rain, and the huge iron chains and wooden vines that bound his body were suddenly untied and shrunk back into the soil, and Chen Zonghuan was immediately washed away by the soaring river.

The young people were ups and downs in the water, struggling and calling for help, drifting with the current.

The cold rain hit his face, and he was drenched and cold. When a big wave hit him, he sank into the water, and was carried by the undercurrent and bumped headlong into a boulder.

Amidst the severe pain, his eyes looked through the river, and the last blurry scene in front of his eyes was the grand master's uncle with his elbows on his side, his eyes indifferent, sitting high in the sky, stroking the ferocious head of the evil beast beside him, and looking down coldly He seemed to be looking at an ant.

Chen Zonghuan's body trembled suddenly, and he woke up profusely sweating profusely. There was a kitten squatting in front of him, looking at him with its head tilted.

Seeing that he woke up, the kitten flicked its tail and jumped back to the desk with a "meow", and jumped back to lie on the shoulder of the owner in two or three steps.

Chen Zonghuan's face was full of tears, and he looked up in horror, only to see that the dark sky of Shen Prison had disappeared completely, and the interior of the punishment hall still looked like a secular court.

Elder Lu sat next to him, seeming to be arranging the paperwork. Uncle Hong Qiao wrote something on the small case, and Uncle Grand Master...

"Since you have known the crime, you will not be sentenced to prison if you commit the first crime. You will be fined to change the waterway within seven days, and the farmland that has been watered must also be restored to its original state."

After finishing speaking, Lin Pu closed the case in front of him, looked up at the disciple kneeling down in the hall and smiled gently, "Okay, let's go back, let's not be an example."

"Ah? It's... the order of the disciple."

Chen Zonghuan answered blankly, got up and walked out in a daze, stopped after taking two steps, turned around and said: "Elder, elder, can this disciple really leave?"

Lin Pu smiled and stood up.

She handed over the file in her hand to Hong Qiao to close the case and seal it up, and after greeting Elder Lu, she stepped down the steps and signaled Chen Zonghuan to go out together.

On the way out of the execution hall, Lin Pu asked him with a smile, "How did you feel just now?"

Chen Zonghuan was a little dazed, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock of the waves before.

"So... did that really happen?"

"That's right." The smile on Lin Pu's face faded, "That's the perception of a drowned person randomly summoned by the holy beast under my seat, and it was simultaneously projected onto you."

"Just now, he died in the flood caused by the battle between cultivators. The moment you woke up, his soul was snatched away by evil spirits."

Chen Zonghuan looked complicated, and he followed behind her and replied in a low voice: "Disciple must think twice before acting in the future, so as not to harm the innocent."

"It's right to be cautious in your words and deeds. It tells you to put yourself in the place of beings and perceive the fragility of living beings, but it doesn't mean that you should be timid."

"Do you know why the law does not allow disciples within the three realms to move, and every time they move, they must be reported?"

Walking to the edge of Prison Peak, Lin Pu turned to look at him, "It's because your minds are immature at this time, and you don't know the importance. You have not learned how to cultivate your mind, and you have mastered power beyond others, and you still have a sense of awe in your heart." heart?"

"Cultivators seize spirits from heaven and earth, and surpass all living beings. You have to understand that this power was taken by us.

If there are no cultivators in the world, the world will continue to operate as usual, and there may be hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land, thousands of spiritual mines and countless spiritual treasures.The common people are not in my way, but we owe all souls. "

"Cultivators are not incapable of making mistakes, but we must avoid making mistakes. The power in our hands is too powerful. If a mortal makes a mistake, at most it will harm ourselves and others. If we make a mistake, we will be killed everywhere."

Lin Pu looked at the young man in front of him with a gentle expression, and as he chuckled, a gust of wind swirled by, sweeping away the dust from Chen Zonghuan's body, and the robes of the outer disciples immediately took on a new look.

Grand Master Uncle's eyes were bright, and he said encouragingly: "You may not understand some things now, it doesn't matter, the seniors of the sect have already concretized those principles into laws and regulations, and you take them as the rules and bottom line of the world. , so you are not afraid of making mistakes.”

"What is terrible in the world is not sharp blades and axes, but the unrestrained hands of sharp weapons that harm others and themselves.

The religious rules and precepts are constraints, and they are also a layer of protection, protecting you from making mistakes and forging ahead. "

Chen Zonghuan was stunned for a long time, and knelt down and performed the salute: "I would like to follow the teachings of my grand master's uncle, and I will study my homework well in the future, cultivate my moral character, follow the law as the law, and never go to the punishment hall!"

Lin Pu laughed and said, "That's not necessary. The punishment hall executes the law and punishes, and also upholds the law and protects the order of the sect."

"If you have any doubts in the future, or if you encounter unfair provocations again, don't keep silent and say that you are holding back your anger. No matter who the other party is, report it to the execution hall. If you are justified, there will be elders to uphold justice for you."

When Chen Zonghuan went back to the peak with his sword, Lin Pu turned his head to look aside, and said with a light smile, "Brother, have you passed the test?"

Ripples rippled in the air, and the figure of the old man appeared.

Deng Feng jumped onto Yunjiao, and the little uncle said cheerfully: "Brother, when did you come back?"

"Not long after I got back, I heard that Elder Lin was in charge of punishment today, so I came to see how your new hall master is doing."

Yun Jia drove slowly towards the main peak, He Hengyuan said with a smile: "It seems that this trip is not bad."

Not bad is great, Lin Pu put gold on his face with a smile, "Of course I did a good job, and I can do better than Elder Wu!"

She lowered her voice and grabbed her senior brother's sleeve to complain: "I found out that I committed crimes a few times before, and old man Wu did not arrest me for dereliction of duty."

He Hengyuan laughed out loud, pointed at her and said, "You still have the nerve to say that when you insisted on worshiping Guming Mountain, Elder Wu advised you to treat it according to the law, but you didn't listen to it. You were expelled from the sect, since then, who in the punishment hall will avoid you?"

At that time, Lin Pu insisted on worshiping the Mountain Demon Sect to take the witch away, but Elder Wu couldn't stop her, so he could only threaten to expel her from the sect with the law enforcement. He retreated, and blocked him back with a "loose cultivator".

The disciples of the younger generation force the elders to think that they are "loose cultivators" and withdraw from the sect. No matter what the reason is, it is the fault of the subordinates and superiors. Even the head teacher will be criticized by others.

Young Master Uncle is putting Elder Wu on fire.

If He Hengyuan hadn't been there that day, and didn't show up to drive the junior martial uncle out of the sect and return to the sect, just relying on Lin Pu's self-confessed "loose cultivator", regardless of the junior martial uncle, Elder Wu would have to take the blame and resign.

"Do you think the punishment hall dare not control you? They don't know how to control you. The second senior sister flew away from the world, you have a high status, and now your wings are hardened. If you are forced to mess up again, who can control you? "

Embarrassed, Lin Pu grabbed the old man's arm and complained, "Senior brother, don't make me look like an ignorant child who always gets into trouble. Except for that one time, when did I do something stupid?"

"Who stabbed himself with a sword and forced his family to surrender and beg for mercy?"

The little uncle was at a loss for words, and shut up resentfully.
