"It should have been a while since the disciplinary document was published, right?" Elder Chen thought after the newspaper was published.
He didn't read what was written on the newspaper, but in his opinion, nothing should go wrong.
It was just publishing what he wrote in the newspaper, how could it cause any big trouble?
If there was any trouble, then their Hengshan Sect would be a waste.
"Senior Brother Chen!" When Elder Chen was pacing in the room, someone called him outside. A man ran over hurriedly and asked him, "Senior Brother Chen, have you written the new precepts of the sect that I told you about before?"
"Yes, I wrote it and published it in the latest issue of our sect's newspaper." Elder Chen smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"This morning, the other elders were asking about this matter again. Senior Brother Chen is really efficient. He completed it so quickly." The man smiled and said, "In that case, I will inform the disciples below to let them memorize the precepts quickly. We will conduct a random check in a few days." "
What the hell..."
When the disciples of Hengshan Sect heard the elders say that they would conduct a random check of the precepts, they cried out in a terrible way.
"Why do we have to check this kind of thing!"
"It's unnecessary. They don't do their work every day, but always work hard on this kind of face-saving things."
"I bet that among all the elders, only Elder Chen can memorize it."
They sighed and searched for the newspaper they hadn't read for a long time from every corner. If it weren't for this random test, they might never have found that newspaper in their lifetime.
"Let's see, what is the content of this random test?" A disciple was speechless. He turned the newspaper over and subconsciously saw the article on the front page. The large font and bold font made it particularly eye-catching.
Well, Elder Chen's words of admonition should be placed on the first page.
Then, the disciple slowly read the title on it.
"Master...admonition?"
...
"Slurp slurp slurp..." Feng Qing was drinking her fat otaku happy water in the guest house with great reluctance. She looked at the group of guests who knew nothing and felt that they were really innocent and happy.
But she didn't know how long such happiness could last.
She looked down at the information in her hand. After a long and careful thinking, she finally confirmed that the innocent and cute little girl An Huo in her family seemed to be unusual.
After all, she watched An Huo walk back bleeding that night, and the next day she was full of energy, as if nothing had happened.
Because An Huo gave Feng Qing the greatest sense of contrast at that time, she has been investigating An Huo's true identity recently. As a result, she didn't know until she checked, and she was shocked when she checked.
"There's no news about this in the martial arts world." Feng Qing complained.
She just remembered that the innkeeper had a powerful mountain manor owner and a swordsman under his command, but there was no mention of the owner of Huaci Tower.
"However, Huaci Tower seemed to be in a lot of trouble recently." Feng Qing didn't forget the things she heard in the book.
She was also a little worried about An Huo, wondering if she should install a camera on her one day?
"The shopkeeper seems to have bought a new piece of land." Li Qi said to the people around him while eating today, "Do you know?"
"I don't know." The people around him shook their heads, "Why did the shopkeeper buy the land?"
"Are we going to open a branch?" Chu Changzui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really?" The other employees were also shocked.
"Really?"
"We are now at the stage of opening a branch?"
What the employees didn't know was that when they were overjoyed that the inn was going to open a second branch, their shopkeeper Feng was upstairs looking at the newly acquired land deed and heaved a sigh of relief.
...Okay, the place to escape is also ready.
If she still couldn't come up with a good solution before the Five Mountains' leader arrived, she wouldn't have to worry about being hacked to death in her dream. They could just run away together.
——If the waiters saw the useless look of Feng Qing, they would probably smash their filters to pieces.
"Shopkeeper, do you want to eat something?" Li Qi asked quietly while lying at the door of Feng Qing's room.
The shopkeeper's schedule has been a little abnormal these days. Li Qi was worried that the weather would warm up and the shopkeeper would have no appetite, so he made delicious food in different ways every day.
He knocked on the door for a while before he saw the shopkeeper coming out slowly. She still held the black sign that she never left in her hand and said a word lightly.
"Eat."
"Okay." Li Qi ran downstairs in a flash.
Feng Qing followed him with a slightly heavy step, sighing in her heart.
Anyway, it would be a waste if she didn't eat. In the current situation, she didn't know how many meals she could eat.
When she walked downstairs, she still had headphones in her ears, and she could hear the sounds coming from the surveillance camera. There were many whispers coming from all directions and drilling into her ears.
"Look at how calm the shopkeeper is. I'm afraid that the leaders of the Five Mountains are not her opponents."
"Yes, the shopkeeper must have a way to deal with the leaders of the Five Mountains."
"The shopkeeper is really amazing. You see how calm he is. How many people can have such a demeanor?"
Feng Qing was sweating profusely when she walked down from the second floor to the lobby.
She listened to all kinds of words in the headphones and felt that it was just a mouthful of poisonous milk, desperately fed into her mouth.
For a while, she wanted to shout to the group of people behind her, "Stop milking! Stop milking! If you milk again, something bad will happen!"
She was just an ordinary shopkeeper. How could she have any messy methods?
Before she knew the truth, she didn't feel so nervous every day, but once she knew the truth, why did she feel so worried?
"Boss, do you have any solution?" The worst thing was that after Feng Qing sat down, even her clerk asked her the same question.
"If you have any plan, you must tell us, shopkeeper." Feng Xiruo said, "A group of people have been harassing me recently. I'm upset. I'll find a chance to shut them up and let them be quiet."
Feng Qing swallowed slightly.
She actually prepared a lot of plans when she came down today. The general meaning was that she had considered some strategic and practical issues recently and wanted to move to another place temporarily. At present, direct conflict with the Five Mountains was not conducive to the future development of their inn (actually, she was just scared). As a result,
before she could say her plans, people around her praised her so highly for no reason.
This is not okay. Isn't this just flattery? Feng Qing thought with a cold sweat.
She didn't want to take on a bunch of false reputations for no reason and then be unable to get off the stage. If necessary, she would still focus on the actual situation.
After all, Feng Qing was not such a vain person.
Feng Qing sat there and was about to speak out her speech when a man suddenly came in from outside, gasping for breath, and shouted wildly into the inn:
"——Something happened, something happened! Something happened to Wuyue!"
A group of people in the inn turned their heads and looked at the man who trotted in.
The room seemed to be silent for a moment, and an inexplicable emotion spread in the lobby.
After a long time, everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper had sat up straight without anyone noticing.
She smoothed her hair slightly, feeling calm and at ease.
It was as if nothing in this world could escape her palm.
She opened her red lips and smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
"Hmph... I knew it."
"The Five Mountains, is nothing more than this."
...
Time went back to the day of the Hengshan Sect's assessment.
That day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
Elder Chen came to the venue refreshed, and then took a long breath.
Ah, he liked this time when he was tested on reciting the sect's disciplines. He even liked the air at this time.
A group of disciples stood obediently below, with their heads bowed. From above, they looked like a group of dark and oppressive people. Elder Chen particularly liked this kind of occasion.
After all, before he became an elder, all he thought about every day was to see a group of disciples in the sect greet him respectfully, rather than him nodding and bowing to a group of elders.
Ah, he accidentally said too much.
Elder Chen stood in front of the highest platform, and next to him sat the current acting leader, who was also the former deputy leader and the younger brother of the current leader of Hengshan Sect.
He stood next to the deputy leader, cleared his throat and said to the crowd below, "Okay, now we are going to take the sect discipline test. Is there anyone who can recite it completely? If there is, you can set an example for other people in your own sect."
No one responded.
"Tsk tsk, each generation is really worse than the previous one." Elder Chen sighed bitterly.
"That's right, back then, our few rules were nothing." An elder next to him also chimed in, "They are just child's play."
After he said this, a disciple standing in the first row trembled inexplicably, and was then held down by someone next to him.
"Yes, that's right." Elder Chen also sighed. After looking around, he sighed in a voice that everyone present could hear, but not too loud:
"Look at you guys, some of you have dark circles under your eyes. I'm afraid it's because you stayed up late last night to recite the precepts?"
... The disciple who just shivered accidentally nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, shaking so much that he almost had a concussion, but he didn't dare to look up at Elder Chen.
Elder Chen felt strange, but he didn't think much about it. He just felt that the disciples of the sect didn't seem to be in a good mood today.
In fact, it wasn't just him, all the elders present had this feeling.
So the elders next to him helped to motivate him.
"In our time, let alone these things, we have memorized more things than this."
"That's right, at that time, let alone one night, sometimes we had to memorize for several nights."
"That's right, if you don't memorize well, the master will punish you."
As he spoke, he smiled at the elder who had just spoken to him.
The two old men with gray beards had a strong sense of brotherhood in their eyes.
Many disciples below were already shaking like they were having epilepsy. Elder Chen cursed them in his heart, "Waste", and then pointed at a person below and said, "You go first!"
"Me?" The disciple's voice changed as if he was about to cry.
"Yes, it's you." Elder Chen said.
"That is the product of my hard work. How can you waste my efforts?"
