The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 17 Fragmentation
Bai Fu was furious, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, no matter what He Xiao stopped him, he rushed to the Songhe Hall.

At this time, Daoist Qingshi was discussing with several other elders of the Presbyterian Church.

Seeing Bai Fu barge into the hall, several elders were quite surprised.Daoist Qing Pu had the best temper, got up and asked: "Bai Fu, the elders are discussing matters, why did you barge in? If there is nothing important, get out quickly."

Bai Fu bowed to all the elders, weeping: "Senior Uncle Qingshi framed me, and I ask my uncles and uncles to make decisions for me!"

The elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Daoist Qingshi was furious, jumped up from the couch, and shouted: "What a bastard, talking nonsense. How can I ruin your reputation, you can talk about it!"

"Just say it, you dare to do it, why don't I dare to say it!" Bai Fu straightened his neck, raised his head and stood up, reporting what He Xiao said just now to the elders.

After listening, all the elders looked dignified.The law enforcement elder, Daoist Qingya, was the most upright, and asked: "Bai Fu, what you said now involves slandering the teacher. If there is no evidence, you will be severely punished! Do you know?"

Bai Fudao: "Everything my disciple said is true, please ask He Xiao to confront him face to face."

Taoist Master Qingya looked at Taoist Master Qingshi.Daoist Qingshi smiled instead of anger, and said: "Qingya, you also believe this kid? How could I do such absurd things?"

Taoist Master Qingya hurriedly stopped, and said: "Junior brother dare not. But since there is a misunderstanding, why don't you invite He Xiao to come over and explain the whole story clearly, so as to avoid rumors in the future."

Daoist Qingshi said seriously: "That's right."

While waiting for He Xiao, Daoist Qinggang took out a stack of account books from the inner room, and said: "This is the distribution of the fields under Qingcheng Mountain. Brother Qingshi's [-]-mu paddy field has not been found. It is Bai Fu's name that there are [-] mu of paddy fields It was a gift from the Zheng family when Bai Fu went down to the mountain for a free clinic last year, and he cured the disease of Zheng Yuanwai. Since the Zheng family gave it to Bai Fu by name, it was not included in Qingcheng's account books." The elders began to discuss one after another.

Daoist Qingshi snorted coldly, and said: "It's good to check, so that the master will not come back and say that I framed his disciples." The elders heard the words and quickly tried to persuade them.Bai Fu stood upright in front of the hall, thinking: "When He Xiao comes, let's see how you argue!"

He Xiao came to Songhe Hall and saw all the elders there, his feet softened, and he knelt down on both knees.Daoist Qing Miao frowned, and said: "He Xiao, it's about the reputation of Master Qingshi and your brother Bai Fu, what is the truth, you have to tell the truth, if there is a lie, you will be punished severely!"

He Xiao quickly kowtowed and said, "I don't dare! This disciple must know everything and talk endlessly. On the first day of the final selection, I took the initiative to find Senior Brother Bai Fu. I told Senior Brother Bai that although I am ranked No.9 now , but if I lose to him the next day and Yang Xiong wins against Chen Xuefeng again, I will become No.11 and lose the top ten. But Senior Brother Bai is different, he has only lost one game so far, and he will definitely enter the top ten, even if he loses , will also qualify as No.3, nothing to lose.

Senior Brother Bai disagreed at first, but the disciple's family was very poor, my parents were running around all day long, suffering from hunger and cold.The old grandmother was almost blind due to overwork.Being shortlisted for the top ten, I can receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver every month. For me, this subsidy is more important than life!Brother Bai was grateful for my filial piety, so he agreed to help me cheat the next day. "

Priest Qingya asked Bai Fu: "Is it true?"

Bai Fu couldn't refute, and said, "It's true."

Daoist Qingya continued to ask: "Then how do you explain that martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds recently? Even defeated many martial arts masters?"

He Xiaodao: "Master, on the night when the selection was announced, the disciples were upset and anxious, and couldn't sleep all night. I went to practice swords in Wuping in the early morning, and was seen by Master Qingshi who was watching the night. After listening to my grievances, Master Qingshi sighed with emotion for a long time, and finally broke the rules. My set of Liuyun footwork helps me quickly improve my actual combat skills."

Hearing this, Dao Qingchi sighed: "That's true. I was watching the night with Senior Brother Qingshi that day. I was in tears when I heard about He Xiao's family situation. It's not easy for children! The last three moves of Liuyun's footwork, I taught it. I said at the time that although Liuyun footwork is amazing, it is miserable to practice. If you can master it within a month, you will definitely improve your martial arts. He Xiao, roll up your trouser legs and let everyone have a look."

When He Xiao heard this, he rolled up his trouser legs, and the deep bloodstains on his calves were the strangle marks from the lead weights and bamboo sticks tied to his legs when he was practicing Liuyun's footwork.Among the elders, many of them had practiced Liuyun's footwork, so they nodded together.

Taoist Master Qingya turned his head to look at Taoist Master Qingzhu: "Junior Brother, you are the chief examiner of this selection, is there any difference in He Xiao's other competitions?"

Daoist Qingzhu had called out the test papers at this time, and after reading it carefully with Daoist Qinghan and the main examiners, he recalled: "He Xiao indeed defeated several senior brothers who were usually stronger in martial arts than him. The key to victory lies in He Xiao is fast. Liuyun footwork really plays a key role. Junior brother Qinghan and I have also exchanged opinions before. Although He Xiao learned Liuyun footwork in an unconventional manner, it does not conflict with the selection rules, so we finally judge He Xiaosheng .But He Xiao’s match against Bai Fu was indeed a coincidence, and the other games are no different.”

Taoist Master Qingya looked majestic, and asked word by word: "He Xiao, I would like to ask you one last time seriously, did Master Qingshi hint that he would help you advance to the next level at the price of a hundred acres of paddy field work? Please answer honestly! There are false words, abolish martial arts, and drive out of the mountain gate!"

He Xiao trembled all over, and replied tremblingly: "I really don't know where Senior Brother Bai said what he said. Uncle Qingshi and I have never had any contact, and he never asked me to work in the paddy field, let alone help me get promoted."

Taoist Master Qingya looked directly at Bai Fu, "Bai Fu, are you convinced?"

Bai Fu was so suppressed that his veins bulged, his eyes spewed fire, his fists were clenched tightly, and he glared at He Xiao, "He Xiao, why did you frame me?"

He Xiao didn't say a word, just kowtowed to the elders, tears streaming down his face.

Daoist Qingshi pretended to be magnanimous, and said with a smile: "Qingya, since the matter has been clarified, I don't need to explain it anymore? After all, Bai Fu is the disciple of the sect master. Considering his youth and ignorance, let me forget it."

When Taoist Qingya heard this, his brows trembled slightly.Immediately, his complexion darkened, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Bai Fu, you have selected falsely, slandered the teacher, and disturbed the mountain gate. According to the gate rules, you will be punished with fifty sticks, and you will be expelled from Qingcheng for a year to see the effect!"
