Chapter 7 [007] Punishment (1)

Shi Qing didn't expect that the new disciple who violated the sect rules was Zhongli Jin.

But since he was already here, he had to punish him, so he walked towards the boy.

The cold mountain wind blew up the strands of hair in front of Zhongli Jin's forehead. When he heard Shi Qing's voice, the hands that supported his body suddenly clenched into fists.

Shi Qing?!
Why is she here? !
During lunch, he deliberately asked the senior sisters from Yujing Peak about the list of disciples on night patrol. Shi Qing should have been there a few days ago, not today!

The footsteps behind me gradually became louder.

The sound of feet walking on broken leaves fell into the boy's ears. When a cool and faint fragrance lingered around his nose, a pair of legs wrapped in bandages appeared beside Zhongli Jin.

What followed was Shi Qing's indifferent words: "You, violated the rules."

——"You will be punished."

The short skirt was blown by the wind, gently caressing his cheek, causing a slight itch.

The boy tried to move, but the bandages that bound him became tighter the next second, as if giving him a silent warning.

"..." Zhongli Jin raised her red lips and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, but... Junior Brother came here for a reason."

Shi Qing ignored this sentence. After all, who would step into the Giant Python Peak without a reason?

She drew out the long sword from her waist, and the sword body, as white as jade, suddenly softened in her hand.

Shi Qing swung the sword twice, and the long sword turned into a snow-white whip.

"You will be punished." She repeated the two words.

Looking at the snow-white whip hanging in front of him, Zhongli Jin's heart skipped a beat. His bones were already unstable to begin with. If he was whipped by more than a dozen whips with spiritual power, he would probably need another ten days or half a month to recover before he could get out of bed.

"Senior sister!" Zhong Lijin's smile became forced, "Senior sister, don't you even ask why?"

"Do not ask."

Shi Qing said: "Anyone."

"Everyone will be punished."

"No reason."

This is the order from Master.

Senior Sister Cangying said that Shi Qing never spoke more than three words. Zhongli Jin had not had much contact with Shi Qing, so he had to think about the meaning before listening to her speak.

Anyone who trespasses into a restricted area must be punished, no matter who it is or why.

No wonder they just started flogging without asking any questions.

The young man suddenly said, "Senior Sister said that anyone who trespasses into the Giant Python Peak for any reason will be punished. So what about you, Senior Sister?"

He raised his eyes to look at the girl. His black pupils were slightly highlighted by the shining whip, with a bit of sharpness and perverseness. He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Even if Senior Sister is a patrol disciple, aren't you in the forbidden area of ​​Giant Python Peak now? If you don't have to suffer punishment because of your status as a patrol disciple, then what you said just now is just a joke, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Shi Qing was stunned.

She really didn't expect this.

According to Master's original words, it seemed that I had indeed violated the rules, after all, the punishment was without reason.

"……"Um.

If she made a mistake, she would stand at attention and be spanked. Then, she nodded and said seriously, "I will."

Zhongli Jin: "..." What will happen? ?

He wanted to get rid of the bandages wrapped around his body. It was really uncomfortable to be wrapped by this bandage. However, as soon as he moved, Shi Qing reacted. The snow-white bandages seemed to have received some orders and bound the boy even more unable to move!

Zhong Lijin felt that the belt that crossed his thighs seemed to be tightened again. His originally fair face became even more ashamed and angry in the night. Other parts were fine, but that part...

He looked at Shi Qing, his tone becoming more impatient: "Sister, do you really have to tie me up?!"

"I was afraid you would run away." The girl said, "I haven't punished you yet." Zhongli Jin: "..."

Finally, he had no choice but to clench his fists, suppress his emotions and said, "Okay, I give up, I admit my mistake, Senior Sister, untie me, I won't run, I accept the punishment." No matter what, he had to let Shi Qing let him go first.

The young man surrendered, and the snow-white bandages were finally loosened. Shi Qing raised the whip and whipped him on the back.

The feeling of being bound was very bad. After regaining his freedom, Zhongli Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, the whip hit him, and the burning pain instantly spread from his back throughout the boy's body!
He had prepared himself mentally, his fists clenched, his eyes lowered, his pupils heavy, and he said nothing.

The pain almost penetrated his bones, but he didn't even groan.

[How cruel!] The old man's voice was indignant.

[It's OK, senior, don't worry.] Zhongli Jin tried his best to make his response sound less weak.

This pain is not even one thousandth of the pain caused by having one's spiritual roots destroyed by the devil.

After three whippings, Zhongli Jin guessed that he would not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

The punishment seemed to be over. Shi Qing put away the whip and said calmly, "Go back."

“Yes…” Zhongli Jin wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and slowly and stiffly propped himself up, slowly standing up from the ground covered with leaves. He chuckled and said in a sarcastic tone: “Thank you for enforcing the law seriously, Senior Sister.”

"Thank you," Shi Qing waved his hand, "It's not hard."

Zhongli Jin: “…”

He raised his foot to leave, but after taking two steps, the wound seemed to involve his bones, and the pain made it extremely difficult for him to move even a little.

[With your current body, it will take you at least an hour to walk from Giant Python Peak back to Jinping Peak.] The old man sighed, [It's my fault. I was too anxious and shouldn't have let you come tonight.]

[Don't say that, senior. It's me who is too reckless.]

Zhongli Jin forced himself to hold on to his body and slowly moved forward. His back was covered in blood and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the pain.

After walking a few more steps, my legs were so weak that I could hardly stand up.

[That girl was really merciless. She beat you so hard that your skin was torn and your flesh was bruised. Now take a resurrection pill first.]

The function of the Resurrection Pill is the same as that of the Blood Restoration Pill, both are used to treat injuries, but the Blood Restoration Pill is a kind of pill derived from the Resurrection Pill formula, and its efficacy is much worse than that of the Resurrection Pill.

The blood-recovering pill treats internal injuries, while the resurrection pill cures both internal and external injuries.

Zhongli Jin took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it. The effect of the pill was immediate. The pain in his body was relieved a lot and he was able to stand up slowly.

【Have a good rest tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. 】

[No,] Zhong Lijin refused: [I must refine the Hidden Breath Pill before the Demonic Martial Arts Secret Realm opens, otherwise I will miss this opportunity and I don’t know how long I will have to wait.]

[But you...]

[Senior.] Zhongli Jin interrupted the old man, his blood-stained lips curved slightly, and comforted him, [Don't worry, I know what's going on.]

[You...sigh.] The old man wanted to say something else, but in the end, all his words turned into a small sigh.

It seems heartbroken and helpless.

Zhongli Jin supported his body, which was barely able to walk normally, and soon disappeared at the foot of the mountain.

*
The next morning, at the blessed land of Sanqing.

The handsome man with an immortal look couldn't keep the kind smile on his face at this moment. He stared speechlessly at the girl in front of him who looked resigned to her fate and ready to accept your punishment.

Early in the morning, someone from the Punishment Pavilion sent Shi Qing back, saying that the eldest sister had a brain seizure early in the morning. She thought that she had accidentally stepped into the forbidden area of ​​Giant Python Peak with her left foot while patrolling the mountain last night, which was a violation and she must accept the punishment. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to seeking special treatment and violating the sect rules and teachings, which gave them a headache.

After several elders discussed it, they decided to send the man back to be dealt with by the sect leader.
