After enjoying a delicious meal in the cafeteria, I prepared ten days' worth of dry food, dried meat, etc., and carried a kettle and the stainless steel sword with three notches on my back as a spare. Chu Mu held another stainless steel sword in his left hand and left the wooden house. Under the curious and adoring gazes of some outer disciples, he prepared to go to the chore hall to register information about going out for training.
However, after only taking a few steps, they felt two sharp auras coming in like unsheathed swords. The outer disciples trembled involuntarily, feeling cold all over their bodies and their skin hurt.
I saw two young men and women in blue robes striding over, carrying long swords on their backs, with cold expressions and a hint of aloofness in their brows.
"Where is Chu Mu?" The female disciple raised her chin and said in a cold and arrogant voice. She did not ask anyone, but her eyes swept over and landed on Chu Mu's face with a hint of compulsion.
"What do you two want from me?" Chu Mu said without hesitation, wondering what happened recently. Inner disciples came to him at every turn.
"You are Chu Mu!" The male disciple's eyes flashed, like two sword lights shooting out and falling on Chu Mu's face, but Chu Mu did not move at all: "You have some skills, we are law enforcement hall disciples, we are looking for you. We need to investigate some things. Now follow us back to the Law Enforcement Hall to meet with the Law Enforcement Elder."
As he spoke, the male disciple gently waved his sleeves, and saw a silver pattern of crossed swords embroidered on the sleeves.
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt that this matter might be related to Wang Lei: "You two, senior brother and sister, please lead the way."
"Hmph." The female law enforcement disciple snorted, very dissatisfied with Chu Mu's attitude. You must know that law enforcement disciples have at least the eighth level of Sword Qi realm, and their status is slightly higher than that of ordinary inner disciples. This Chu Mu was just an outer disciple. He didn't care when he saw that they didn't fawn over him, but his expression was dull and he simply didn't take them seriously.
"Let's go." The male disciple smiled slightly, turned and left, and Chu Mu followed.
"This is really tragic. Being taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Mu will definitely be punished."
"I guess it must be related to Wang Lei's matter. After all, amputation of the tendon is not a trivial matter."
"According to my guess, it must be related to Senior Brother Wang Feng. Wang Feng wanted to kill Chu Mu that day but was blocked by Senior Brother Xiao Qianfeng. However, he had a grudge against Chu Mu and wanted to use other methods to deal with Chu Mu. Maybe this time, Senior Brother Wang Feng went to the Law Enforcement Hall."
"But I heard that our Sword Sect's law enforcement hall is very fair."
"Justice should also be divided into targets."
…
The female law enforcement disciple was very fast, as if she was deliberately trying to make it difficult for Chu Mu to keep up and make a fool of herself. The male law enforcement disciple seemed to know what she was thinking. He just smiled bitterly and slowed down a little to prevent Chu Mu from being unable to follow. superior.
Chu Mu said nothing, adjusted his breath, and walked forward quickly. His steps seemed messy, but the frequency was very high and the speed was very fast. It was precisely by applying the random steps to the daily rush that he was not at a disadvantage. .
This point once again surprised the male law enforcement disciple.
"Junior brother Chu, after the law enforcement hall, junior brother will answer whatever the law enforcement elder asks, and the elder will naturally make a fair judgment." The male law enforcement disciple suddenly said.
"Thank you for reminding me, senior brother." Chu Mu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said immediately, and the female law enforcement disciple snorted again, seeming to express her dissatisfaction.
The Law Enforcement Hall is far away from the outer disciple area, and is juxtaposed with the inner disciple area on the left and right sides of Qingfeng Hall.
Outside the law enforcement hall, there is a gravel road. The red door is open. There is a pattern of a sword on the left and right. When it is closed, it becomes a pattern of two crossed swords. After entering, there is an ordinary courtyard of several hundred meters, paved with square bluestones. There is also a palace in the courtyard. On the left and right sides of the palace gate, there are two statues as tall as one person, each holding two crossed swords. The plaque on the door has three bright red characters, written in a dragon and snake style, and contains a hint of sharpness and severity: Law Enforcement Hall.
Chu Mu followed the two law enforcement disciples into the law enforcement hall. The entire law enforcement hall was decorated a bit like a yamen, with a huge and thick screen. There was a plaque hanging on the screen, with two powerful blood-red characters written on it: Justice. .
Under the plaque, there is a chair and a large table. Sitting on the chair is a person, an old man who looks to be in his sixties. He has a solemn face, a broad nose and a square mouth, his eyes are closed, and he sits upright with his hands on the table. He wears a black gown and has an awe-inspiring majesty on his body. At first glance, it looks like a mountain has stood forever.
Chu Mu's eyes first fell on the old man, and he felt an aura that was suffocating him. It was as thick as a mountain and seemed to be crushing him. Chu Mu was horrified in his heart and secretly guessed at the old man's cultivation level.
"Elder, Chu Mu, the outer disciple, brings you here." The male law enforcement disciple looked serious, with unconcealed respect and admiration in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.
In an instant, the old man's eyes slowly opened. A pair of black and white eyes, which seemed to penetrate all illusions and ignore the distance, fell on Chu Mu's face, and a strong righteousness blew towards his face like a strong wind.
If someone is timid or has a guilty conscience, under such a pair of righteous eyes, he will definitely retreat, panic, or even have weak hands and feet. However, Chu Mu is not timid or guilty, his expression remains unchanged, and he never takes a step back.
"Outer disciple Chu Mu, you seriously injured the outer disciple Wang Chang Wang Yi, and cut off the hand tendons of the outer disciple Wang Lei. Can you admit this?" The law enforcement elder spoke, with a strong cadence, and his voice was as majestic as the sound of a bell. , the righteousness is overwhelming, every word penetrates into Chu Mu's ears. If you are a weak-minded person, you will definitely panic.
"Disciple admits it." Chu Mu bowed his hands and replied calmly.
"Tell me your reasons?" the law enforcement elder said again.
"Wang Lin of the Wang family and I..." Chu Mu spoke calmly and explained the matter in a simple yet focused manner: "Elder Law Enforcement, the disciple's action was really passive. It was not the disciple's initiative to cause trouble. Please The elders are wise."
"Are there any witnesses?" The law enforcement elder's tone was still upright.
"Yan Kuan, the deacon of the miscellaneous affairs hall, and Xiao Qianfeng, an inner disciple, both saw it with their own eyes. Many outer disciples also knew that Wang Lei took the initiative to stir up trouble." Chu Mu was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Lu Xue, summon Wang Feng, Yan Kuan, and Xiao Qianfeng to the law enforcement hall." The law enforcement elder ordered: "Yan Ling, you go to the outer disciple area to investigate this matter."
"Yes, elder." The male and female law enforcement disciples immediately turned and left, leaving Chu Mu facing the law enforcement elder. The law enforcement elder closed his eyes again and said nothing. The atmosphere in the entire law enforcement hall was very suppressed.
Chu Mu stood motionless, his thoughts clear and unaffected.
"It seems that this matter must be related to Wang Feng." Chu Mu thought to himself: "However, this law enforcement elder is upright and should be worthy of the word justice."
After a while, Lu Xue returned, along with three people: Wang Feng, Xiao Qianfeng and Yan Kuan. Wang Feng's eyes paused for a moment on Chu Mu's face, which was full of cruelty and resentment, while Xiao Qianfeng just nodded slightly, and Yan Kuan smiled at Chu Mu.
"I've met the law enforcement elder." The three of them saluted the law enforcement elder.
"Xiao Qianfeng, Yan Kuan, are you two willing to testify for outer disciple Chu Mu?" the law enforcement elder asked first.
"Disciple is willing." Xiao Qianfeng and Yan Kuan didn't think much about it, which made Chu Mu a little touched.
"You saw the conflict between outer disciple Chu Mu and Wang Chang Wang Yi Wang Lei with your own eyes that day. If you saw it with your own eyes, please tell me in detail what happened." The law enforcement elder said.
Xiao Qianfeng didn't speak much, just a few sentences to explain, while Yan Kuan spoke more, but he spoke vividly, as if the scene of that day was reappearing. The veins on Wang Feng's forehead protruded and beat constantly. He not only resented Chu Mu, but also hated Chu Mu. Xiao Qianfeng and Yan Kuan.
At this time, Yan Ling hurried back and strode in.
"Elder, after investigation by the disciples, the facts are consistent with what the outer disciple Chu Mu said." Yan Ling said.
"Now that the truth has come to light, this elder makes a verdict." The law enforcement elder glanced between Wang Feng and Chu Mu: "Outer disciple Wang Lei has done many evil things, and outer disciple Wang Chang Wang Yi bullied others and was injured and crippled. He is responsible for his own fault. After that, Expelling the three of them from the sect, inner disciple Wang Feng..."
While Wang Feng was feeling secretly resentful, he saw the law enforcement elder's eyes falling on him, and he quickly lowered his head and held his hands in his hands: "Disciple is here."
"As Wang Lei's brother, as an inner sect brother, you are not strict in discipline, and you fail to set an example. I will punish you to go to Li Feng Cliff for three days to reflect on your past. You can accept it," the law enforcement elder said.
"Disciple uniform." Wang Feng's teeth were almost broken, and the veins on his arms covered by his sleeves were bulging.
"Outer sect disciple Chu Mu, the attack was too harsh, but I want to protect myself, so I won't punish you this time, but you must remember that you must not bully others with strength, and you must not bully the weak with force. Otherwise, this elder knows that it will be as serious as Li Fengya's thinking, and serious Then you will be expelled from the sect, remember!" the law enforcement elder said.
"Disciple, please remember this," Chu Mu said.
"Okay, now that the verdict is over, you can leave." The law enforcement elder issued the eviction order.
After everyone bowed their hands and saluted again, they exited the law enforcement hall.
