Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty

When the two arrived, almost everyone was already there. Seeing that Zhuo Wangsun hadn't arrived yet, Gina was about to say hello to someone she recognized. Qin Yan gestured for silence, and quietly led her to the side and stood down.Just listen to the maid proclaiming: "Masters of the Palaces, Lords of the Moon, and Zhi Qi, respectfully invite the Pavilion Masters." Everyone shouted together: "Respectfully invite the Pavilion Masters!" I saw Zhuo Wangsun walking slowly from the back and walking towards the seat of the pavilion master in the middle. Gina felt that her eyes lit up. He changed into a dress today, with wide sleeves and a wide belt, embroidered with red and purple algae. It looked extremely gorgeous. Compared with the past, it was a bit less sloppy and idle, but it was more solemn and noble, shining like the sun. People, almost no one dared to look at him more.

The Huayin Pavilion was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In order to show respect for the ancient system, all the people in the pavilion, from the pavilion master to the ordinary disciples, used Tang Dynasty costumes as formal attire for ceremonies. Of course, Zhuo Wangsun has always been used to the rules in the pavilion. Whether he wears such a dress or not does not care whether the ceremony is grand or not, it all depends on his mood. Gina stared at him blankly, opened her mouth as if to say something, but was stopped by Qin Yan, and the audience bowed and shouted: "Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Zhuo Wangsun nodded slightly and sat down in the middle.He raised his eyes to sweep down the seat, but didn't look at Gina more. He said in a loud voice: "Today, I have called everyone here, and I have a few matters concerning rewards and punishments. The rules of Huaying Pavilion have always been that rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and rewards and punishments must be done before everyone, so that the justice of sanctions and rewards can be understood." Speaking of this, suddenly After a pause, the housekeeper Yan Daoming held a piece of paper, stood forward, and read aloud: "Feng, Jina, the position of concubine Shuoyue, the fourth extreme moon concubine. Punishment, Qin Yan, to the position of concubine Xinyue." Years, after the expiration of the period, rewards and punishments will be determined based on merit. Punishment, Han Qingzhu, will be punished with tarsal bone needles."

After the housekeeper finished reading, Zhuo Wangsun said: "Jina has only been in Huayin Pavilion for less than a month, and she only has a few days to learn Chunshui swordsmanship. She can actually defeat Qin Yan, Han Qingzhu, and Hong Shisan. You can come and go freely in the Moon Palace. May I ask how many people in the world have such talent and aptitude? Huayin Pavilion has acquired the world's talents and taught them, how can we easily give up such talents? Backward talents are indispensable. The pavilion has been inspecting Gina for many days with a pure heart, innocent and simple, and she treats people with sincerity. Demonstrate the determination of this pavilion to broaden the roads of virtuous persons, to reward virtuous persons and persuade them to advance. Give Gina a purple ribbon."

The ceremonial officer held the purple ribbon in the brocade box and bowed towards Gina.At present, there are two maids serving Gina to put on the purple ribbon, inheriting the post of Concubine Shuoyue.Gina didn't quite know what was going on, since Zhuo Wangsun asked her to wear the belt, she took it.He also said with a smile, "Thank you very much." Everyone knew that she was not very particular about etiquette, and they only acted with sincerity, so they didn't ask her too much. Zhuo Wangsun smiled and nodded to Gina, indicating an answer.When he raised his head, his expression changed to a cold one.In Gina's eyes, he seems to have changed from a gentle elder brother to a god who can live and kill at will with an ice knife and frost sword in his hand.He cast his eyes from afar, focused on Qin Yan, and said: "Qin Yan, do you know your mistake?"

Qin Yan took a step forward and said in a respectful voice: "This subordinate failed to complete the task ordered by the pavilion master, and is willing to accept the punishment." Zhuo Wangsun said: "In this way, you still don't know where you are wrong. A task is entrusted to you, and whether you complete it or not is not the root cause of punishment, but to see whether you have done it with all your strength. If it is entrusted to you The task is beyond your ability, so the responsibility lies with this cabinet and not with you. In all honesty, can you stop Gina on the 15th?"

Qin Yan whispered: "Yes. It's just..." Zhuo Wangsun sneered and said: "It's just that you don't want to destroy her longing for happiness, you are willing to be punished yourself, and you want to fulfill her this time, right? You have taken into account the relationship between sisters, and you have forgotten the law of Huayin Pavilion! Today You can do this, and in the future, the situation will be restricted. When you are required to deal with the traitors, will you be lenient, and you will not be able to kill them all? Let me ask you, if you are so selfish and disregarding the public, should this cabinet punish you? ?”

Qin Yan bowed his head and said: "The master of the pavilion is wise, and his subordinates are willing to accept the punishment." Zhuo Wangsun said in a slow voice, "I know that you have tried your best. But your efforts are far from enough. You are ashamed of the position of Concubine Xinyue, so you will be deprived of your position for a year. I hope you can figure it out soon. The advantages and disadvantages in it have not failed the expectations of this cabinet." Qin Yan agreed and returned to the original position. Zhuo Wangsun said: "Master Han Qing."

Han Qingzhu also took a step forward, and said in a respectful voice, "Pavilion Master." Although he tried to maintain his composure and continued to maintain his usual demeanor, he still couldn't help trembling slightly when he thought of the cruelty of the tarsal needle. Zhuo Wangsun said: "Do you know where the mistake is?" Han Qingzhu said: "This subordinate... this subordinate miscalculated, and accidentally knocked Gina into the palace. This subordinate... this subordinate deserves to die." Zhuo Wangsun stood up tall, and his figure covered the entire hall like a god, and said with a sneer: "Every time this pavilion judges punishment, we must first ask the person who is punished if he knows his fault, and he just wants to punish him. You have a chance to reform yourself. After you have made a mistake, if you understand it correctly, at least it means that you have seriously considered the mistakes you made, and you have some intentions to reform yourself. But you not only do not examine yourself, discover your mistakes, but also Blindly thinking about extricating oneself, so hard work, in the small place is to take advantage of the situation, wise and wise, but in the big place, it is ignorant of the righteousness, so it is ignorant. How respected is the deacon of Dongtian Qingyang Palace, do you ask yourself if you can take this position? "

Han Qingzhu was dripping with sweat, and said, "Subordinate...subordinate..." Zhuo Wangsun said: "I'll ask you again, do you know where your mistakes are?" Han Qingzhu said: "This subordinate refuses to go all out when facing the enemy, he is too coquettish, he does not take the orders given by the Pavilion Master seriously, and despises Miss Gina, so that all the things that are very sure are on the verge of failure. Subordinate... ...This subordinate deserves to die, please give the punishment to the pavilion master." Zhuo Wangsun said: "You are not stupid after all. But you still overestimate yourself. If Gina can hurt Hong Shisan like this, you may not be able to say victory. How can you take responsibility when you are so easily confused by illusions?" Big deal? I didn’t know how to adapt to the battle. After knocking Gina into the Void White Moon Palace, I didn’t dare to break in to stop her, and I didn’t dare to ring the alarm. Are you taking the orders from this pavilion as a game? If there are enemies in the future , It’s not part of your job, you just ignore it, don’t you?” The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, Han Qingzhu lowered his head and dared not answer, his body trembled like a sieve.

Zhuo Wangsun said: "Swallowing Wu for three years, and turning it into steel, you are a deacon of Qingyang Palace. This pavilion will not let you down. I will only punish you with tarsal needles. You should know the meaning of this pavilion, and work hard in the future. Up. Get the tarsal pin." Suddenly a crisp voice said: "Slow down!" When Zhuo Wangsun looked up, it was Gina. Zhuo Wangsun said: "What do you have to say?" Gina said: "You said you punished them both for me?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "You can say that, but you can't say that." Gina said: "You gave me this purple ribbon just now, but did you reward me?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "Of course." Gina said: "Then can I not want this purple ribbon, so they don't have to be punished?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "No. This pavilion clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. Those who deserve rewards should be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Those who deserve punishment must be punished at their roots. If merits and crimes can be offset, I am afraid that many people will take credit for their pride and act recklessly. Although there are rewards and punishments, they will not It's useful. You just entered Huayin Pavilion, and you don't understand these rules, so I forgive you for the time being. Step back." Gina said: "But..." Zhuo Wangsun's face darkened, and he scolded: "Back off!" Qin Yan hurried up and pulled Gina back. Zhuo Wangsun said: "Take the tarsal bone needle." The punishment hall disciples hurriedly brought them up, a row of four or five inch long silver needles were laid out on the shelf, the silver light shone like ice.Although the silver needle is long, it is as thin as a cow's hair, and there are even thinner barbs on it when you look closely. Han Qingzhu's body trembled even more, but Zhuo Wangsun didn't see him at all, and ordered: "Execute." The punishment hall disciple respectfully agreed.One disciple slashed Han Qingzhu's clothes, and another disciple took a tarsal needle and pierced Han Qingzhu's shoulder.The thin needle was just inserted into the flesh, as if it had consciousness, it drilled in bit by bit.The disciple of Xingtang didn't show any sadness or sympathy on his face, so he lifted another silver needle and stuck it on Han Qingzhu's back.After a while, twelve silver needles on the tarsal bones were stuck on Han Qingzhu's body. Han Qingzhu gritted his teeth, and bead-sized beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. He endured the pain, and the stone bricks under his feet were trampled to a gap more than a foot long.After a while, he scratched out bloodstains on his chest with both hands, and the silver needle was not in his body at this time, and he felt extremely cruel and vicious just by looking at it. Gina yelled, "Stop...stop...tell them to stop!" Zhuo Wangsun said: "I can't hold back. Now there is no other way but to wait for the silver needle to come out of his body." Gina yelled, "Why did you treat him so cruelly?" Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "Because he made a mistake." Gina said: "If you make a mistake, you can spank him, why torture him like this?" A sarcastic smile slowly appeared on Zhuo Wangsun's face, and he said, "This kind of punishment can't be discussed until you make a mistake." Gina stopped talking, walked over and knelt in front of Han Qingzhu, picked up his head and put it on her knees, tears dripped down on his dry lips. At this time, Han Qingzhu had no strength to move, and said weakly: "You...you don't need to plead for me anymore, I am very grateful to you, I...I was tortured voluntarily." Gina cried and shook her head and said, "No one would suffer such torture voluntarily. It doesn't count that he tortured you, but he forced you to say that it was voluntary...he..." Gina was emotionally agitated at this moment, remembering his indifference to her , the grievances he had suffered in the past few days surged into his heart, and he couldn't help blurting out, "He is so cruel!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.Zhuo Wangsun's face was uncertain, when he heard a ding sound, a silver needle fell out of Han Qingzhu's chest, and after a while, another one came out.Every time a silver needle came out, Han Qingzhu's face became lighter. When all twelve silver needles fell out, Han Qingzhu's tense body relaxed, as if all the vitality had disappeared, and he fell on Gina's knees and did not move again. no more. Zhuo Wangsun waved his hand, and the disciples of the punishment hall carried Han Qingzhu away. Zhuo Wangsun said: "This pavilion has always punished people for what it deserves, and it is the punishment of punishing the heart. Although the crimes committed by Qin Yan and Han Qingzhu are small, their righteousness is great. Huayin Pavilion has not been changed for decades, and its momentum is booming. The bad habits of the middle school disciples have also increased a lot. If you don’t strictly deal with it, it will inevitably accumulate. Therefore, the punishment in this pavilion must be cruel, and it is nothing more than killing one and trying to put an end to these trends as soon as possible. You go back and supervise your own disciples. Respect the rules of the pavilion, treat the rules as a trifling matter, do things ineffectively, and have selfish intentions, the pavilion will not be lenient. For the leader? If one day another sect rises, Huayin Pavilion will be regarded as the master, how can you feel embarrassed? Ask yourself, are you worthy of the predecessors and sages who made the world their own? Huaying Pavilion was not built by us , you must not fall in our hands! If you can be brilliant, you must not let him be a little dim! This pavilion is waiting to see what you do, and Huayin Pavilion will always be above all factions, just like you For the admiration of all the people in the world!" Everyone bent down together and said loudly: "The master of the pavilion is holy, and the Huayin pavilion will always be the master of the world!" Everyone's heart was aroused with great ambitions, and everyone who was agitated wanted to do their best and strive for the world's hero Heroic, the cruelty of the tarsal bone needle just now, but who else can remember?Even if someone remembers it, they don't think there is anything wrong with what Zhuo Wangsun did! Gina did not kneel down, but still stood in the hall, staring at Zhuo Wangsun with tears in her eyes.At this moment, he suddenly said, "Aren't you going to punish me?" Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, what should I punish you for?" Gina still had tears on her eyelashes, she blinked and said, "But just now I contradicted you and said bad things about you." She said something carelessly just now, and she regretted it a little bit, not because she was afraid of Zhuo Wangsun's punishment, It was because he was afraid that he would hate her. Zhuo Wangsun laughed and said: "The law is not made for one person. You have contradicted me, offended me, and have nothing to do with Huayin Pavilion. How can I punish you? Besides, I still have something for you to do. " Gina let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a tearful smile, "What's the matter?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "You take this piece of paper and read it to everyone." Gina ran up quickly, took a piece of paper and read aloud: "Xi Peng lifts the sea, Mu Xi has it and soars. Carry the sea with the wind, vibrate the north and turn the south. It is the most heroic spirit to look down at the world while tossing the nine girts. The servant’s heart is for it, but it’s a pity that I can’t follow it. Gentleman Jiaojiao, can you teach me? The ancient order is divided into four images, and the servant has the second. He has a weak virtue and a weak appearance. He dare not be exclusive. The platform is for the gentlemen. You also have the biscuit, can you be perfect? ​​Let the learning of the Qin lose its deer, and the world will chase it; the cauldron has no surname, so you can touch your fingers, or communicate with each other, and you will suddenly find peace. Return the sword and the dragon. , Hidden Crane Immortal Mansion, people share their joy. Invite us sincerely, on the eighteenth day of Junyue, we will meet on the top of Songshan Mountain, chatting and laughing four orders belong to each other. Servant, Yizhi nodded." Stuttering, still wrong In many places, I finally finished reading, and said with a long sigh of relief, "I don't understand a word of it!" Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "What do you think?" Yan Daoming pondered: "Yang Yizhi spread the post to the world and convened the martial arts conference this time. Although it is said that he is fighting for the Four Orders, no one knows what secrets are hidden in the Four Orders. So the seizure of orders is only superficial. Article. I’m afraid we were invited to gather the power of the Righteous Path to attack us.” Zhuo Wangsun nodded, and said: "Square Heaven's Order, of course it is necessary, not to mention that they post a post to meet, if they don't go to Huayin Pavilion, won't they make them look down upon it? Yue Linglong, you go first, take this invitation to the Go to Songshan, just say that I will arrive later. Before I arrive, Huayin Pavilion will not recognize everything. You are eloquent and eloquent, and you can deal with them calmly. I think you can still deal with them first. Go down and clean up , let’s go now.” Yue Linglong agreed, and Gina raised her hand high and said, "I want to go too, I want to go too!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said, "What are you going to do?" Gina said: "I..." but did not continue.She has been with Qin Yan for a long time, and she also knows that she can't say stupid things like "I want to be with you forever" in public, so she found a reason and changed her words: "The last time I participated in their martial arts conference at Dongting Lake, but It's fun. I overturned their desks, and they were so angry. I'm going to overturn their desks this time." Zhuo Wangsun said with a smile: "We are going here to overthrow their platform. Well, follow me." Gina was overjoyed, ran over to stand beside Zhuo Wangsun, and looked at the embroidery on his clothes with a smile on her face. . Zhuo Wangsun stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and said in a loud voice: "The turmoil in the world will rise again, and the Huayin Pavilion will ride the turmoil and go straight up. Everyone should work hard!" Everyone agreed abruptly, and the huge Danshu Pavilion seemed to tremble slightly.
