My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 222 Worms

After leaving the Law Hall, Chen Lang came to Moon-Watching Mountain.

Zhong Yuling was still in the yard, holding a large brush and practicing calligraphy. When she saw Chen Lang appear, her eyes flickered and she turned around and shouted, "Dad, Chen Lang is here to see you."

Soon, Zhong Haoran went downstairs and saw Chen Lang in the room. He took a quick look and said with a faint smile, "It seems that you have made some progress again."

"Is it the credit of the Twin Deliverance Flowers?" Zhong Haoran asked.

Chen Lang nodded, "It should be."

"Did you get it from the girl from the Yan family?"

Chen Lang shook his head, "No, Su Qingchan gave it to me."

"Yeah, I almost forgot."

Zhong Haoran said, "When I accepted you as my apprentice, I took her in as well. I thought she was just an ordinary girl, but I didn't realize that she was also extraordinary. Forgive my poor eyesight."

"What's wrong?" Chen Lang felt that there was something else behind the words.

"She was chosen by the Yan family and inherited Yan Guiqin's mantle. It is said that she may be related to Yan Guiqin. She may be the fruit of the Dao of the one who cut off the Dao and rebuilt it." Zhong Haoran said, "By the way, Yan Guiqin is the ancestor of the Yan family, a Yuanying cultivator."

Even though the Yan family quarreled fiercely about this matter, it should be a sure thing for Su Qingchan to accept this opportunity. This is an unimaginable chance, and once it takes off, Chen Lang may not be able to catch up with him.

It's that matter. Chen Lang didn't care. Her matter is not as important as mine. "Does the sect have any missions recently?"

"It seems you have already inquired about it."

Zhong Haoran nodded, "Yes, we recently joined forces with the Qingmu Sect, the Vajra Hall and other six sects to wipe out three branches of the Pingtian Sect."

This surprised Chen Lang. He didn't expect that he had only been practicing for such a short time and such a big problem had happened.

"But we didn't find much useful stuff afterwards. Those guys were very smart. They packed up and ran away as soon as they smelled something. But the Pingtian Cult had accumulated a lot of wealth after looting for so many years. They couldn't consume all of these things, and the rest couldn't run away."

“In addition, we have received intelligence that a large amount of money and property will flow to the Tianluo organization. They will make a deal in a place called Dachai Town in the near future. The date has been set, and someone needs to intervene and intercept it.

As elders, we are not suitable for such trivial matters. Usually, it is done by the disciples under the elders of each family. This time, there will be a joint action by the four sects. You are now a cultivator on the Heavenly Ranking. I have secured a position for you. When the time comes, you can go with the others. Someone will make arrangements. "

Zhong Haoran briefly recounted the specific incident, "You can ask Zhong Sheng for the details. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Lang said.

"This operation is different from the previous ones. We will not only face the Pingtian Sect, but also competitors from other sects. You must not make any more mistakes." Zhong Haoran knew that such a reminder was useless, but he still warned.

Chen Lang always stirs up disputes within the sect, which are not difficult to settle, but disputes outside the sect require the sect’s negotiation.

Chen Lang automatically filtered, he opened the system panel to compare, the sects’ joint action was consistent with the system task, so it should be this task.

Just kill and that's it.

At this moment, there were suddenly hurried footsteps outside, and someone was talking.

"Elder Zhou, please stay. I'd better report first, okay?"

However, before waiting for the report, Zhou Tianzheng had already arrived at the yard and entered the room.

Following behind him was the deacon of the Law Hall. He looked anxious and thought to himself, "That's exactly what I wrote. I clearly have fully understood the hall master's instructions, so why did something go wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Zhong Haoran asked.

Zhou Tianzheng threw the document in his hand on the table and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Zhong Haoran picked up the document and read it out: "The Lu family colluded with foreigners to harm Zhongxian, while Chen Lang single-handedly achieved extraordinary achievements. This is a fair comparison. Is there a problem with this?"

Zhou Tianzheng looked serious, "Do you think this is the right way to deal with it?"

"Then how do you want to deal with it?" Zhong Haoran asked.

Zhou Tianzheng said: "You should know what Chen Lang is doing. He is not doing meritorious deeds. He is slaughtering people and destroying the whole family."

Chen Lang was slightly surprised. He thought that the case was closed by the Law Hall. Is there still something else to do? Zhou Tianzheng was not afraid of Chen Lang's presence. He looked at Chen Lang and said, "Listen carefully to what I say next. If there is anything biased or untrue in what I say, you can interrupt and correct it at any time."

Zhong Haoran said: "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say."

The deacon was sweating profusely. Aren't these two elders usually on good terms? Why are they fighting? He was afraid that the two would fight and kill him. After all, he was just a humble deacon.

"Dad, it's so windy outside that all the papers have been blown away." Zhong Yuling shouted, then carried the cardboard and the brush into the house, sat in the corner, covered her face with the large drawing board, and continued writing.

"first."

Zhou Tianzheng said: “You and I know this case best. The Lu family sent assassins to kill Chen Lang. We captured them and confirmed that they were related to the foreign land. I did not delay the case for a moment and immediately submitted it to the Law Hall for handling.

The Law Hall did not delay and immediately began to investigate. Everything was in accordance with the law, but why did Chen Lang go directly to the Lu family and wipe out the entire family? Chen Lang, do you think the Law Hall will protect them and not give you justice? "

"No." Chen Lang replied.

Zhou Tianzheng nodded and continued, "Secondly, killing Lu Ming is fine. This is your personal grudge. Even if you kill Lu Ming's descendants, it is understandable from a personal perspective, but why do you want to slaughter everyone? There are thousands of people in the Lu family, including migrant workers and ordinary people. Did they do anything wrong?"

"No." Chen Lang replied.

Zhou Tianzheng paused for a moment and continued, "Even if you dealt with such a serious matter so lightly, I know the reason, but you shouldn't treat it as a matter of justice. People have memories. How many monks will be misled and how many people will be encouraged to kill like him without regard for right and wrong?
If our Tianjian Sect is just like the Pingtian Sect, only using fists to reason, what is the meaning of this sect?"

After hearing this, Zhong Haoran said, "Do you think I am manipulating all these things?"

Zhou Tian was looking at him.

Zhong Haoran shook his head. “No, I didn’t do anything. They treated me leniently. First, it was because the Lu family was gone and it was useless to pursue it. Second, it was because they were scared.”

"They are afraid of it. It's their own business." Zhou Tianzheng looked at Chen Lang, "You've been listening for so long, don't you want to express your opinion?"

"Do you need me to express my opinion?"

Chen Lang thought for a moment and said, "Elder Zhou, how about I tell you a story?"

"I don't listen to stories, only facts."

"It's a story about myself." said Chen Lang.

"You said."

So Chen Lang said: "Maybe I have lost my memory. When I first came to this world, I don't remember anything. At that time, I was still an ordinary person, with no cultivation and no property."

"I endured it for a few days and almost starved to death. Later, an old man and an old woman found me and gave me some food, which I ate. They were planning to go to a temple to burn incense, hoping that their son's spiritual practice would go smoothly."

"Then, just as they finished worshipping the gods and walked out, a group of Qi-refining monks came in and killed them."

"and then?"

"There's nothing more to it. This is my story. It's over." said Chen Lang.

Zhou Tianzheng's eyes moved slightly. "You mean, they are evil, why should you exercise justice, right?"

"Do not."

Chen Lang said: "They are worshipping the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor. You should all know that there was a Heavenly Emperor in this world. He took away many things, causing the world to enter the Dharma Ending Age and causing all races to perish. Then everything became what it is now."

"The people they worship have never cared about them. The heaven and earth were sucked dry by the cultivators, and the Dao was ruined by the Emperor of Heaven. The only person who gave birth to me and raised me is this heaven and earth. If I want to respect something from the bottom of my heart, it should be this heaven and earth, not order, Dao, or any person."

"Because they are all termites, you are, and so am I. The so-called 'emperor' is just a bigger one that was born earlier. No one should look down on anyone else."

A smile gradually appeared on Chen Lang's face. "What you call cultivation is just countless termites gnawing at a huge piece of rotten wood in my eyes. It is a boring thing in itself. I just need to gnaw at it seriously. Why should I gnaw at it with full emotion?"
