Chapter Ten: A Woman's Wrath is Like a Tiger
Qin Hao is indeed very despicable, but he has no choice. Who made him a useless body? Otherwise, with his personality, he would have killed these bastards long ago. Although he hasn't killed anyone before, he has seen many dead bodies, and it's terrifying to the extreme, especially in such a world where having a body like Tang Monk's is a blessing.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the good fortune of having a disciple like Sun Wukong who could do all the dirty and tiring work for him. The only one was a fat guy, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and might have even turned into a sculpture.
Qin Hao was unaware that everything he did was under the observation of Mingyue Xiang. Originally, Mingyue Xiang didn't want to do anything sneaky either, but because Qin Hao ran out with his belly exposed, she found it strange at the time and used her own mark on the symbol record to investigate the past, finally understanding what Qin Hao wanted to do.
"This kid is really shameless, but Li Chen deserves to be taught a lesson." Mingyue Xiang said, as expected, her disciples soon arrived at the Mingyue Hall. Today was the day she was supposed to start her closed-door training, and all her disciples were required to gather. She still had things to entrust to them, but things turned out completely differently.
"The disciples pay their respects to the master." The crowd arrived at Mingyue Hall and said in unison, most of the disciples' faces had palm prints on them, apparently Qin Hao had slapped them. Moreover, they looked at Shizhi Fang Xue with a completely different expression than usual, all with hostility.
"Get up." Mingyue Xiang pretended not to know: "What's going on with your faces?"
"Master, you have to take charge of us, Eldest Sister she..." The one called Xiaoyu had a tear-stained face, she was the first victim, beaten half to death and stripped naked.
"Big Sister actually took advantage of us while we were meditating, and did such a shameful thing......" The disciples all said in unison with tears in their voices.
"You... you're talking nonsense, that wasn't me who did it, I'm also a victim, there's someone else..." Fang Xue was speechless, but the others were unanimous in their accusations. It was clear that Qin Hao's plan had succeeded. Once women got angry, they became more impulsive and less rational than men - this was Qin Hao's thinking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until the soundproofing array dissipated before making his move on Dashi.
"It's not who you are, in Mingyue Peak, except for you and Master, everyone else has been... but only you haven't, and even the clothes were found in your room. Do you still want to quibble?" Little Jade was really sharp-tongued!
"You... you..." Facing the accusations of the crowd, Fang Xue's injustice was evident, but she had already healed the wounds on her face. Except for a slightly unusual complexion, everything seemed normal, and everyone thought it even stranger when they saw her unusual complexion. Moreover, they found their clothes in the room, and everyone thought that this senior sister must be trying to take advantage of Master's upcoming closed-door training to assert her authority and make them remember who was the true master of Mingyue Peak.
Moreover, in the usual course of events, Mingyue Peak was already full of intrigue and infighting. Xiaoyu was Second Sister's person, and now that she had found such an opportunity, she would naturally blame Fang Xue. Most importantly, she really had been beaten half to death, and hadn't fabricated anything.
"Master, Fang Xue wants to make a name for herself and has done such a despicable thing. Please be fair and give us justice." The second sister stood up, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, untouched by dust. She hadn't been beaten by Qin Hao, but she was the one who led the way to Fang Xue's place. At that time, they thought Fang Xue had also been attacked, but they found her clothes in her room.
"Please, Master, have mercy." The crowd chorused.
Fang Xue suddenly knelt down on the ground, she was furious with that scoundrel, but unfortunately she couldn't find out where he was, and she had been beaten up too, her chest still hurt from being pinched hard, even now it still hurts, how could she not take off her clothes to tell people, "Look, I'm also injured, just in a different place?"
Of course, she would never do such a thing, and I estimate that the master's severity will directly demote her to an ordinary person. Even if she doesn't strip to prove it, the master won't let her off lightly.
"Master, I really didn't do it, I really didn't do it." Fang Xue was almost in tears, she couldn't prove her innocence, and she would definitely be punished for it. She hated the person who had stripped him so much that she wanted to tear them apart limb from limb.
"Master, it's all because of her, it's all because of her..." Second Master Qingxuan led the other girls in accusing her. This time, she was lucky to have escaped disaster. If Fang Xue were punished, then she would definitely become the eldest master sister of Mingyue Peak in the future, and her cultivation would also be at the level of a famous teacher, only slightly weaker than Fang Xue's.
"That's enough!" Mingyue Xiang's voice was stern, and everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound. She understood the cause and effect of this matter better than anyone else. If she wanted to intervene, she would have done so when Qin Hao made his move. It was just that this disciple had disappointed her too much, still bickering with each other at this point. She didn't even want to bother with them because she knew a group of unlucky people would be coming soon.
"Alright, I'll investigate this matter clearly. Fang Xue, do you know your mistake?"
"Master..." Fang Xue wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, she could only admit defeat: "Disciple knows her mistake, hopes Master will let this one slide for Xiaoxue's sake, Master..."
Qing Xuan, remember this: I will be back.
She couldn't have imagined that it was Qin Hao's doing, in her eyes that good-for-nothing was not capable of such a feat, so she could only attribute it to the machinations of Qing Xuan and others, intentionally letting Master punish herself before he went into seclusion, at which time Master would definitely not be in charge of Ming Yue Peak on the day of his seclusion, this would make her lose a lot, for example, the opportunity to enter Ming Yue Pavilion to comprehend the Tai Xuan Jing.
The Tai Xuan Jing is the true human Taoist secret method, the treasure of the Xuan Men's gate, and the twelve peaks of Xuan Men compete for it once a year. The peak master who wins gets to control the Tai Xuan Jing for a year. This year, Ming Yue Xiang defeated the sect leader and seized the opportunity, but if Master were to retreat and cultivate, next year's Tai Xuan Jing would definitely not fall into the hands of Ming Yue Peak again, perhaps for a hundred years. Although they have basic cultivation methods, they are too low-level.
In the Tianxuan, there is a saying that the high or low level of a secret method determines the long-term path of a person's cultivation. Even if one is a genius, without the assistance of a secret method, it would be impossible to cultivate, and the probability of going mad is extremely high. Moreover, the quality of a set of skills also determines the number of geniuses. The Tianmen has very few talents because there is only one Tai Xuan Jing, and even the Taishang Laojun finds it difficult to grasp the outline of this scripture, let alone replicate it.
But even higher-level ones are not to be mentioned, such as the orthodox secret method, which only has a large school and will never be leaked out. The small door of Xuanmen is simply impossible to obtain, and obtaining it is also a disaster. As for the heavenly secret method, it is said that there are only three volumes, but they have already been lost. Inside, it contains the law of the Heavenly Way, and can even make people achieve the highest secret realm of creation, Sheng Huang.
So the secret method is divided into human way, earth way and heavenly way. The Dharma treasure is also like this, each containing a kind of pulse of heaven and earth, but absolutely not all.
As for human cultivation, it is the same. If one does not attain the Dao, they are not considered a cultivator. Even if they have a clear and fragrant reputation, if they do not break through to become a renowned master, they are still not considered a cultivator. Once they attain the Dao, they become the king among humans, which is the realm of the monarch. This is the Human Dao. Above the Human Dao is the Earth Dao, which is the realm of the Great Emperor. Above that is the Heavenly Dao, which is the realm of the Holy Sovereign.
To achieve these realms, the secret method is indispensable. The secret method represents a person's underlying strength, and it can be seen that one person's secret method in a small sect is very important. If there is a true secret method, you can transcend the level to perceive the high-level pulse of the situation, and the road to cultivation will naturally be less bumpy and safer, and the achievement will be higher.
Qing Xuan wants this too, it's the ultimate goal of the Tai Xuan Scripture in a year's time. Even Li Chen wants it, which is why he's trying to win over Fang Xue, and Fang Xue won't give up on such an opportunity either. This concerns their future, after all, this is a world where strength is revered, without strength one can only be bullied, if someone slaps you, you have to smile and fawn like a servant.
"Alright, Fang Xue, I sentence you to half a year of confinement and contemplation. You are not allowed to take even half a step out of your room. Can you accept this?" Ming Yue Xiang said.
"Disciple, admit defeat..." Fang Xue gritted her teeth, but was utterly helpless.
"Famous residence, Xing Feng Li Chen brought people here, and also took......" Suddenly a woman walked in, who was the manager of Ming Yue Peak.
"Oh, what's that you're holding?" Mingyue Xiang pretended not to know.
"Holding..."
"Don't be ambiguous, if you have something to say, then say it. Are you afraid he won't make it? He can do as he pleases on other peaks, but not on my Bright Moon Peak." said Mingyue Xiang.
"No need." A sudden voice came, and several people wearing Taoist robes walked in, laughing continuously. However, when they saw the scene in Mingyue Hall and Mingyue Xiang's expression, they immediately became respectful: "Greetings to the famous master."
When Li Chen came in, he was holding a vest and explained the situation to the manager. The manager hurriedly went in and communicated with them. To save face for these sisters, Li Chen had someone put away all the vests. However, what they didn't expect was that when Mingyue Xiang's divine power moved, the vest hidden by Yang Shidi appeared. Xiaoyu, who had sharp eyes, immediately discovered it - wasn't this her vest? There was also a familiar scent, but she didn't dare confirm it. She patted her sisters and then stared at several people.
"What brings you here? What are you carrying?" asked Mingyue Xiang sternly.
Li Chen noticed the atmosphere was off, his old friend Fang Xue had a tear-stained face and didn't dare look at him. However, he didn't take it to heart and instead replied: "I've come to apologize for yesterday's incident, I hope Master Ming won't hold it against me and won't take it to heart. If Master Ming's anger hasn't dissipated, Li Chen is willing to accept punishment."
The most beautiful words, Li Chen was very pleased, and he didn't hit a smiling face. Moreover, once Mingyue Xiang closed her door, his luck came, as long as he killed that waste.
But what he didn't know was that all of Mingyue Peak's disciples were staring at them, their eyes almost popping out.
"What's in your hands?" Mingyue Xiang asked.
"This..." Li Chen didn't know how to respond, at this moment he also felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"Master Mingyue, we found this thing at the foot of the mountain..." A disciple proudly pulled out a vest, and instantly all the disciples of Mingyue Peak blushed with shame. One of them was so enraged that he rushed forward: "You daredevil libertine!"
That disciple wanted to explain something, but was directly slapped and flew out. With great difficulty, he got up: "You cheap people, I kindly helped you pick up your vest, you..."
"Shut up!" Just then, Fang Xue took action. The resentment in her heart had finally found a vent. It turned out that all of this was their doing, it was all the doing of her old lover Li Chen.
A woman in anger is a tigress, but this is an angry crowd of women...
