My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 39 Compensation
"Boy! Where did you get the earth escape talisman?"

The elder suddenly stood up and tried to grab Chen Lang.

What would happen if he ran away? He just promised.

However, Chen Lang learned his lesson and was well prepared this time. Before the elders took action, he took the earth escape talisman back to the system warehouse.

But in the elder's view, the thing disappeared in an instant and could not be found.

The elder's face was very serious, and he threatened: "If you dare to run, Su Qingchan will have to bear the responsibility. I don't believe that she can run away, right?"

At the same time, he was searching with his spiritual sense, but he still couldn't find where Chen Lang had hidden the earth escape talisman.

Chen Lang said: "I will spread your words and tell the world that you are the Law Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which is known for its virtue, but you did such a despicable thing."

The elder was silent, he was really frightened. After all, he had done such a heaven-defying thing, so what else was there that he dared not do?

"Forget it, I won't bother with you. You seem very confident. Are you waiting for someone?"

"Who?" Chen Lang asked.

The elder sneered, "Elder Zhong, he is here to see you."

A moment later, Zhong Haoran arrived. Surprisingly, he was accompanied by a little girl, who was tall and slender with waist-length hair. She must be his daughter. I remember her name was Zhong Yuling.

"Be careful, Elder Zhong! He has a talisman that can help him escape underground! We don't know where he has hidden it." He said immediately when he saw Zhong Haoran.

Zhong Haoran waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll talk to him alone."

The elder wondered, "When I come back, he won't have run away, right?"

He had occasionally heard about the welcoming banquet. Zhong Haoran was this kid's master. He had committed a serious crime today, so he might cover up for him again.

He even suspected that this thing was given to him by Zhong Haoran.

"Don't worry." Zhong Haoran responded.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." The elder did not doubt him. Zhong Haoran was highly respected in the Tianjian Sect, and he was not qualified to question him.

After the elder left, only Chen Lang, Zhong Haoran and the little girl were left in the room. The last time they met was at Wangyue Mountain, and it was sad to see them meet again in this solemn interrogation room of the Law Hall in just a few days.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Zhong Haoran asked.

Chen Lang said: "What? I don't have anything to say. Is there any follow-up to the Tianchi incident?"

"Aren't you the follow-up?" Zhong Haoran was surprised.

"I mean, what about those disciples?"

"This year's marrow cleansing must be cancelled. It is not easy for the sect to prepare for it. It requires a large number of treasures." Zhong Haoran sighed. This evil disciple now has the leisure to pay attention to those people. He didn't know what to say.

"That's great." Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the marrow washing is not repeated, the mission can be completed for sure.

Zhong Haoran: ...

"I didn't expect you to be so brave." Zhong Haoran sighed. He thought that Li Rui's incident was enough to keep this kid busy for a while, but he didn't expect him to make such a big mistake right away.

Chen Lang smiled and said, “You should have been mentally prepared when you accepted me as your disciple.”

"That's right." Zhong Haoran nodded, and then said:
"I can't protect you this time."

“Got it.” Chen Lang nodded. This was confirmed. This identity was ruined. It was time to change his alias and start over.

In the game "Xiantu", if the character dies, you can return to the main interface and use the resurrection scroll to read the game file. During this period, you can reshape your face and even change your gender.

By the time the name is changed, the appearance is changed, and the style is changed, who will recognize it?

"Also, it's fine that you destroyed Tianchi, but why are you unwilling to admit your mistake? You had to humiliate so many people in such an occasion. They are not ordinary people. They come from major forces in the world. You can't afford to offend them. You will die."

Chen Lang asked, "If I apologize, can I be spared from death?"

"It's difficult, but you have an attitude, and I can find a way to speak for you."

Chen Lang shook his head, "Forget it, it's not necessary."

Although he seemed to be impulsive, he actually thought clearly. Disrupting the Tianchi ceremony was an unforgivable crime and he could not escape this disaster. What was the difference between kneeling down to apologize to others in broad daylight and killing someone and then saying "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it"?
If you want to blame someone, just blame the fact that the cost of completing the task with ten carts of feces is too low. If you don't do this, do you believe that you can transform into the most powerful Taoist fruit by just shaking your tiger body?
No matter what sin or cause and effect, they are all secondary. He only knows that he must get the task reward first, so that he can have the confidence to fight against all cause and effect. He can practice in the deep mountains and forests without offending anyone, but is that useful?

Zhong Haoran was also silent. He was sure that Chen Lang was determined to leave and had no intention of asking him for help, because after talking for such a long time, he didn't even call him Master.

This master-disciple relationship started and ended in an outrageous way, and that’s about it.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhong Haoran asked.

Chen Lang thought for a moment, "Now can you tell me why you accepted me as your disciple?"

Zhong Haoran said: "Open the shackles."

Chen Lang guessed, "Can I still help you open the shackles? Do you want to break through?" Zhong Haoran nodded, said no more, got up and left.

Chen Lang didn't doubt it. He was the protagonist, so it was reasonable for him to have some peculiarities.

"Goodbye." Chen Lang said with a smile.

He still didn't call him master, and it was not good to drag an honest man into the water.

It’s better to cut off the relationship cleanly.

However, he did not activate the escaping talisman and leave immediately. He was still worried without seeing the information about the completion of the mission. He thought that ten carts of feces could not be wasted.

Zhong Haoran did not say how the Tianjian Sect would deal with him, but judging from the case-trial process, he could still jump around for a while, and it would not be too late to leave if the situation was not right.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and found that the girl had not left yet. She was looking at him with strange eyes. It seemed that she had been looking at him like this from beginning to end.

"Kid, why aren't you staying here?" Chen Lang asked.

Zhong Yuling took a few steps forward, with an indescribable look of admiration on her face, and leaned over to whisper in his ear:

"father."

Then he jumped and ran away.

Chen Lang:?
Are you sick? Your father is outside.

……

At this time, the sect’s top leaders were having an in-depth and unfriendly exchange.

"Look at what you have done? Who is in charge of the Tianchi Lake? Such a big person sneaked up there and polluted the water, and no one of you noticed?" someone shouted.

The elder who gave the speech stood up, his face flushed, "Don't try to make excuses. The day before the Tianchi Lake opens, the mountain must be closed and no one is allowed to go up the mountain. This is a rule we all set. Now you blame me?"

"Then someone is pulling a manure cart up there. It should be your responsibility, right?"

"How should I know? That guy used Zhong Haoran's name, and the deacon didn't even report it to me!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Elder Zhou Tianzheng spoke up to stop the argument. "It has already happened. There is no point in arguing about it. We should strengthen management in the future and put up a sign at the foot of the mountain to prohibit people from bringing feces up the mountain and urinating and defecating around Tianchi.

In addition, supervision will be strengthened in the future, and anyone who goes to Tianchi will be subject to a full body search."

After some debate, the quarrel gradually died down, but the elder who had been quarreling the most fiercely was still sneering:
"Do you know how this matter spread outside? They said that our Tianjian Sect had a master named the Dung Immortal, and that we had a secret method that could make one become an immortal by tempering the body with dung. Once the sword was unsheathed, it could kill people a hundred steps away."

Many elders looked unhappy. The Tianjian Sect had been very protective of its reputation and had been building up its reputation for many years, but now it had been ruined in an instant and became a laughing stock outside.

"Let's think about how to compensate." Zhou Tianzheng said.

Marrow cleansing is not a blessing bestowed upon disciples by the Tianjian Sect as the elder said, but a pot of precious medicine that was collected by many families through joint fundraising and salary payments.

The loss from this pollution was too great. Although they had handed over the water for recycling, they had no hope. How could chicken soup produce a live chicken? The spiritual and medicinal properties inside would soon be lost.

"There are 412 families in total." Elder Shi, who had been silent, spoke up. He took out a general account and said, "I roughly estimated that it is worth about 260 million spirit stones. We can't compensate them all. I tried hard to negotiate with those families and asked them to pay at least half. It's not easy for those small families to make money. If it's less, they will cause trouble."

Half, which is 130 million spirit stones, is still a considerable amount for the Tianjian Sect.

"How to compensate?" The elder who was giving the speech didn't care anymore, as long as he wasn't the only one to pay.

"The master is in seclusion."

Elder Shi said, "It shouldn't be a problem to extract a few precious herbs from him. I've estimated that 30 spirit stones will be enough, but the rest will be up to us. You've accumulated a lot of things over the years, so don't hide them. Take out what you need."

Subtract another 30 spirit stones, and it would be a total of 100 million.

"That's not difficult, just share it equally." said the elder who was giving the speech.

Elder Shi threw away the information and said, "I was not involved in this matter, so I have no responsibility at all."

"me too."

In the end, no one wanted to pay.

Zhou Tianzheng was in a dilemma, "Don't be like this, I'll go out first."

He took out a Qiankun bag, which was bulging with blood. "There are about 50,000 spirit stones in it. If it's not enough, I can get more."

Following his example, the other elders also took out their savings and easily pooled together three or four hundred thousand yuan.

At this time, Zhong Haoran came.

"Why are you so late?" Elder Shi saw him and sneered, "But it's just right. The disaster was caused by you. You should pay for it."
