The three of them turned around and were shocked. Tian He said in surprise,"" Martial, Martial Uncle?!" Four hours had passed since they descended the mountain on their flying swords. The three of them were busy playing and saving people, so no one expected time to pass so quickly.
Murong Ziying snorted coldly,"You still think of me as your Martial Uncle?" I don't know when I ordered you to go down the mountain to do something!”Seeing that he was going to get angry again, Lingsha quickly smiled and said,""Ziying, don't be angry. Didn't you say that the disciples of Qionghua Sect should help the poor? It's all thanks to our accident that we discovered such a water-deficient village at the foot of Mount Kunlun. Shouldn't we help them first?”
When Ziying heard this, his expression eased slightly and he said coldly,""Although this action is pitiful, it is different from leaving the mountain without permission. After returning to the sect, we will punish him.”After he finished speaking, he ignored Lingsha's grumbling and turned around to bow to the village chief, asking,""Elder, I am Murong Ziying, a disciple of Kunlun Qionghua Sect. Can you tell us why this village is so dry? If we can help, we will definitely do our best.”
The village chief was surprised and happy, as if he had seen hope."You, you are indeed people from the immortal mountain. The heavens really pity us!”Sighing, he told Ziying and the other three from the beginning,""Sigh, speaking of which, this was a long time ago. At that time, our Crescent Village was once a beautiful oasis. A Crescent River flowed down from Mount Kunlun and fed the entire village. There was a forest at the source of the river. Although it was not very big, it was particularly lush. However, in my grandfather's generation, a lot of Central Plainsmen came to the village to do business. They said that the forest was the legendary 'Holy Wood of Kunlun', and that they could sell it for a good price after cutting it down. They encouraged us to cut down the trees…"
Lingsha was shocked." That's…that's sacred wood. How can you chop it?"!”The village chief sighed and said,"Yes, sigh, if only everyone thought like you." Unfortunately, at that time, although the priest in the village strongly opposed it, the others wanted to become as rich as the merchants from the Central Plains, so they agreed to cut down the trees in the end…After those trees fell, the water in the Crescent River slowly dried up…Everyone in the village regretted it and thought of many ways to restore the water source. They even built a new altar and prayed to the heavens, but it was useless. The gods had been angered…In recent years, the Crescent River had completely dried up. They all died of serious illness. " There are also young and strong people who left here to live elsewhere, but they never came back…" The more she spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she only sighed endlessly.
Murong Ziying also sighed,"Old man, why don't you move to another place? This place was surrounded by dust and it was not something that could be changed overnight. Moreover, with the current conditions, it was really not suitable to settle down.”"Sigh, it's not that I haven't considered the idea of moving." The village chief shook his head. However, how can the orphans and widows in the village withstand the long journey…More importantly, Crescent Moon Village is the place where our ancestors settled down for generations. As the village chief, don't tell me, don't tell me that I can't even protect this homeland…"
Lingsha was very anxious and could not help but ask,""Then, is there no other way?”Village Chief sighed." There is a way. I heard from the old priest who has passed away that there is a treasure called the Water Spirit Pearl in this world. As long as we have it, the water source can be restored, and everything will return to its original state. However, where can we find such a peerless treasure…"
Ziying was pondering. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he said happily,"Old man, are you sure that the Water Spirit Pearl will work?”" That's right." The village chief nodded affirmatively." That's what the old priest told me."”Hearing Ziying's tone, Meng Li seemed to have some hope and asked anxiously,""Martial Uncle, do you know something?”
Ziying nodded and said happily,"If it's the Water Spirit Pearl, then there's a glimmer of hope, because it's our sect's treasure!"”
When the three of them heard this, they were overjoyed. The village chief was like a terminally ill person who had suddenly seen a miraculous pill. He was overjoyed and felt like he was in a dream. Hope appeared on his old face as he tightly grabbed Ziying's hands and asked in a trembling voice,"Y-you're telling the truth?"
Ziying nodded solemnly and said,""Elder, please rest assured. I will report this to the sect master and see if I can borrow the Water Spirit Pearl. "The old priest should be right. The Water Spirit Pearl is a supreme treasure in the world. I believe that with the power of the water spirit, it will definitely be able to revive the source of the river and restore the vitality of the past here…" After saying that, he also took off his water bag and dry food and placed them on the table."Old man, we'll leave these water and food here first. We'll go back to the sect and inform the sect master of this matter.”
The village chief was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly,"Thank you! You are indeed the emissaries of the gods! To be able to meet you guys, the gods really didn't abandon us!”Wu Lan also put her hands together and prayed silently, thanking the God for bringing them hope.
Seeing that there was no time to lose, everyone immediately flew back to Qionghua Sect on their swords. When they reached the gate, they saw that the gatekeepers had changed to two disciples. When they saw Lingsha coming over, their faces showed dissatisfaction. Fortunately, the four of them were in a hurry and no one noticed. In the blink of an eye, the four of them had returned to the front of Qionghua Palace. Ziying asked Tianhe and the others to wait outside the palace while he stood at the door, bowed forward and said loudly,""Sect Master, this disciple is presumptuous. I have something important to ask for an audience!”
Tian He and the other two waited outside for a moment. Zi Ying's expression relaxed, and he turned to the three of them.""Alright, follow me in.”As he spoke, he walked into the hall.
Tian He was baffled and asked Lingsha,""Lingsha, did the Sect Master say that he would let us in? Why didn't I hear anything?" "How do you know she didn't say anything?" Lingsha said disdainfully. What kind of status did the sect leader have? Could he shout at the door? Perhaps, she had told Ziying through secret sound transmission.”
"Secret voice transmission?" What's that?" Meng Li explained at the side," I've heard that secret sound transmission is a very profound skill. Simply put, only each other can hear each other's words. Other people can't hear it.”
Lingsha nodded repeatedly." Right, right, right. Mengli, you're really knowledgeable. Hmph, unlike some savage…""This is fun. We can use it to whisper. I want to learn it in the future!" Lingsha was both angry and amused when she heard this, thinking to herself," This savage is spouting nonsense again. How can such a profound martial art be learned just because you want to..." Meng Li heard this, but she was really touched by Tian He's childlike innocence that did not disappear with age, and could not help but laugh.
A light snort came from inside the door. Almost at the same time, Ziying shouted,"Hurry up and come in. It's so noisy outside.”Lingsha pursed her lips and the three of them walked into the hall. Ziying bowed slightly and said to Su Yao,""…This is the situation. Yuaya Village has been suffering from water shortage for a long time, and the villagers are on the verge of death. I dare to ask, can you take out the Water Spirit Pearl and use it to relieve the people's worries?”
Su Yao's face still didn't show any joy or anger, she said lightly: "Ziying, you told me so much just for this matter?”
"Yes!" Ziying bowed. I beg the Sect Leader that if you can use the Water Spirit Pearl to cast spells, it should not be difficult to solve the drought in Crescent Moon Village. This matter concerns the lives of dozens of villagers of Crescent Moon Village, Sect Master, please grant us your wish!”
The corner of Su Yao's mouth moved, but she didn't say a word. For a moment, the entire Qiong-Hua Palace was silent. Tian He and the others who were standing on the side were anxious. They didn't know what the Sect Leader was thinking. Thinking of the tragedy that almost happened not long ago, he still shuddered. Thinking about whether the villagers of Crescent Moon Village could be saved from now on, it all depended on the sect master's thought, he couldn't help but feel even more worried.
Finally, Su Yao paused and said,""I won't allow this."
These five words were said very softly, but to the four of them, it was like a thunderbolt. The feeling in their hearts was no different from a heavy boulder smashing down. Surprise appeared on the four of their faces, and the three words "why" appeared in their minds, lingering. Tian He was about to ask when Ziying said in shock,"" Sect Leader?!" His voice was filled with surprise, fear, and confusion. Ziying was mature and steady, but his tone was so serious. It was enough to show the shock in his heart.
Su Yao looked at the four of them and said seriously,""The Water Spirit Pearl is the supreme treasure of our sect and is extraordinary. How can we do such a 'loan'? Moreover, the Demon Realm was watching them covetously and was about to attack at any time. At this time, there should not be any complications.”
"But, Sect Master…I really can't think of any other way to help the villagers when they're in trouble. Please reconsider, Sect Master…" Su Yao said gently."Ziying, you have to know that this world is full of difficulties. We are immortals and should help the poor, but how can we manage the affairs of the world? What's more, now is an extraordinary time. Our Qionghua Sect can't even take care of ourselves. How can we have the ability to care about others?”She spoke indifferently, and the expression on her face was also very indifferent. It was obvious that she was unwilling to help.
" Sect Master, you…" Su Yao suddenly glanced at him, her eyes suddenly revealing a rare sharpness, and she said in a deep voice,""I've made up my mind. Don't mention this matter again! The few of you can leave now!" Tian He was still unwilling to give up and said anxiously,"" But, that Aquatic Forest Pig…" Lingsha and Meng Li pulled him back and waved their hands. Murong Ziying sighed and said helplessly,""Sect Master, this disciple will take his leave."
The four of them walked to the door and were about to go out when they heard Su Yao behind them,""Ziying, come back for a moment." Hearing this, Ziying waved at the three of them. Seeing them leave, he returned to Su Yao and bowed,""Sect Master, is there anything else?"
Su Yao smiled and asked," Ziying, you taught them for the whole day. To be fair, what do you think of their aptitude?"”Ziying was slightly stunned. She didn't know why the sect leader suddenly asked this, but she answered truthfully,"In my humble opinion, the three of them have dabbled in immortal techniques before entering the sect. They have comprehended the sword control technique and basic mental cultivation techniques very quickly. From this, it seems that their aptitude is above average. "It's just that…" He paused for a moment and said,""It's just that Yun Tianhe seems dull, but he's very strange.”
"Oh?" What do you mean?" Ziying continued," The ancients said that swordsmanship is like the music of the zither, the thoughts of the mind, the flowing rivers, and the heaven and earth. It can be born with all things. Therefore, the cultivation of swordsmanship must also conform to the four seasons and swallow the sun and moon. The achievements here cannot be achieved overnight. As far as the disciple could see, although Yun Tianhe didn't know any profound swordsmanship, his movements were clear and natural. It seemed that he could only reach this realm after many years of meditation. I really don't understand the reason…"
Su Yao smiled and looked straight into Ziying's eyes, asking,""In that case, given time, Yun Tianhe's cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and he might even surpass you.”Ziying's face turned slightly red." I don't know if that's true." Besides, I don't know much about the sect leader, so what I said just now was just superficial…But…"He wanted to say something, but he stopped.
Su Yao looked straight at him and said," It's okay. What else do you have in mind? Tell me, I want to hear it."”"Yes," Ziying replied. There is one thing that I don't know. As far as I know, our sect's sword-forging techniques are unrivaled in the mortal world. However, the slender blue sword that Yun Tianhe carried with him was so exquisite that it made the disciple feel ashamed. Although I didn't look closely, I know that the sword's quality is definitely not black gold or black iron. To make it so cold and transparent without hurting the person holding it, I must at least get the waver purifying stone at the bottom of the East Sea, the cold Luo jade soul under the ice pool of the Heavenly Mountain, and the ancient Nether Spirit Wood in the northwest wilderness. And these few things are hard to obtain by one person, even if you exhaust the power of millions of people, you can only come across them by chance…"
Ziying paused for a moment and continued," Moreover, this sword looks slender. It must be as solid as black ice. This is the legendary 'Hundred Refinement Technique'. It must be repeatedly refined more than a hundred times. There can't be a single mistake in it before it can succeed! " It's hard for me to imagine what kind of magical skills the person who forged the sword had…" Speaking of the way of forging swords, Ziying was also a great expert in Qionghua Sect. However, when facing the divine item " this is a sword ", she couldn't help but admire it and sigh that her skills were inferior to others.
Su Yao seemed to sigh slightly and Ziying said,"" Since Yun Tianhe has such a rare sword and can control it, he must have a great background..." Then, he looked at the Sect Leader with some doubts.
Su Yao nodded." You're right. That sword is indeed extraordinary. But…as far as I know, the person who forged the sword has passed away. Yun Tianhe knows nothing about the origin of this sword."”Ziying was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt regretful. He hated that he was born at the wrong time and could not ask the master for advice on sword forging.
Su Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed to a serious tone and asked Zi Ying,""I heard that Yun Tianhe and the other two left the mountain when they first joined the sect.”
Ziying quickly bowed and apologized." It's my fault for not disciplining you properly. Please punish me, Sect Master!"”In fact, he had already warned the three of them not to walk around casually, and not to leave the mountain for no reason. They could not bear the words " bad discipline." However, he had always been strict with himself. Since the three of them had made a mistake first, he, as his martial uncle, had to take responsibility. He admitted his mistake, lowered his head, and waited for the sect master's punishment.
Unexpectedly, Su Yao didn't say anything, after a long time, she said,""You must remember that you can only teach the three of them simple breathing exercises. You don't have to touch on other profound sword techniques. When talking about the secrets of our sect, you must be careful. However, if they had violated the sect rules, if it wasn't serious, they didn't need to care. Wherever they wanted to go, there was no need to stop them. They just needed to pay attention in secret.”
Ziying was shocked. Since Su Yao took charge of Qionghua Sect, she had always been strict with the sect rules and never showed mercy to the disciples who violated the sect rules. She didn't expect that she would deliberately indulge Yun Tianhe and the others. She couldn't help but say in surprise,""Sect Leader? "This…" Su Yao waved her hand and said solemnly,"I'm not afraid."You don't have to ask. I let them enter the sect because of another opportunity. You will know in the future.”"Yes," Ziying replied. "If there's nothing else, you may leave."”
Ziying bowed and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around slightly. Su Yao saw this and asked,"Why? Is there something else you want to report?"”Ziying lowered her head and asked in an extremely sincere and expectant tone,""Sect Master, this disciple dares to ask again. Is there still room for discussion about the Water Spirit Pearl?”
Su Yao's face darkened, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes as she said coldly,""Oh? In that case, are you not convinced by my decision just now?”
Zi Ying hurriedly bowed. " Disciple only feels that although cultivators of our generation are not capable of everything, we can still save one person. Disciple really can't bear to see those villagers suffer like this…" Thinking of the miserable state of the villagers of Crescent Moon Village, his tone carried a sense of desolation, but it was also filled with anticipation. He only hoped that the sect leader would change his mind and agree to this matter.
Su Yao was unhappy and shouted,""Murong Ziying!" Zi Ying quickly knelt down and replied,"I'm here!"”Su Yao was furious, she shouted," Do you remember what kind of oath you made in front of Elder Zong Lian?"”
Ziying's heart ached." I dare not forget for a single day. I swore that I would cultivate for the rest of my life and protect the world. I must not have any rebellious thoughts towards my sect!" If there was any violation, they would be struck by lightning and their souls would be destroyed!”His martial arts, celestial arts, and sword-forging techniques were all taught by Elder Zong Lian. Ziying regarded him as his master. Elder Zong Lian had passed away at such a young age. Before he died, he had asked him to make this oath. Over the years, Ziying often thought of the scene when he made the oath. It was unforgettable.
Su Yao sneered and said sternly," Your master was killed by a demon and passed away early. Although Elder Zong Lian is your grandmaster in name, he treats you like a disciple. He even taught you his secret sword-forging technique. He hopes that you can become a pillar of our sect one day." However, your performance today has truly disappointed me! He really did not know what Elder Zong Lian would think if he was in heaven.”
Ziying repeatedly kowtowed.”"You say you're ashamed, but you don't know why you're ashamed!" Su Yao said angrily. Do you know that there are millions of people in pain in this world? Even if you save one person a day, how many people can you save in decades? How could it compare to when he cultivated into an immortal body and had boundless magical power, saving thousands of people in an instant? You can't even understand such a simple logic. I've really misjudged you!”
Ziying grew up in the Qionghua Sect, but it was the first time she was reprimanded by the elders of the sect. She couldn't help but blush and sigh,"" Sect Leader, Sect Leader is right. It's just that…I can't calm down for even a moment when I think of the pain of those villagers. I don't know what to do with such a chaotic mood…"
Su Yao sneered," If you really don't know what to do, then think back to nineteen years ago, when our sect fought against the Demon Realm, so many disciples were buried. Even the previous sect leader was not spared. Your grandmaster, Elder Zong Lian, was also seriously injured and died…This time, if there's an emergency, the magical power contained in the Water Spirit Pearl might be able to help us resist the Demon Realm. What you're doing now is only for the present. You're losing big because of small things. When the time comes, our sect will be weak and the lives at the foot of Kunlun Mountain will be in misery, far more than the disaster at Yuaya Village! If this really happens, you will become the sinner of our sect, the sinner of the world! How foolish!"
The more Su Yao spoke, the harsher her tone became, until she was already angrily scolding him. Even with Ziying's calmness, her body couldn't help but tremble. She said softly,"" Sect Leader is right, I was too short-sighted…" Su Yao saw that he admitted his mistake and her anger subsided slightly. After a long silence, she asked in a slightly mocking tone,""Ziying, you were never like this before. Have you been infected by Yun Tianhe's impetuousness in such a short time?”
Zi Ying was shocked and wanted to say something, but Su Yao waved her sleeves and said,""Alright, that's all I have to say today. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own luck. You may leave." Ziying could only bow and leave the hall.
Tian He and the other two retreated to the outside of the hall, feeling extremely stifled. They knew that there was a way to save the villagers of Crescent Moon Village, but there was nothing they could do. Tian He could not help but complain,""Father said before that one can't be too stingy. It's not like we borrowed it and didn't return it. Why is the Sect Leader so adamant on holding onto that 'Aquatic Forest Boar' and not letting go?”
Meng Li sighed and said," I see that Sect Master's mind is firm. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to change your mind." We can only think of other ways. If it doesn't work, we'll find an opportunity to go down the mountain in the future and send some water and food to the people of Crescent Moon Village.”"Yes, that's the only way for now." Lingsha nodded. Sigh…" She sighed, her heart filled with regret.
Tian He was still complaining." I don't know how valuable that 'Water Forest Pig' is. The Sect Master is so fixated on it. At most, we can exchange our 'Earth Forest Pig' with hers. It sounds similar anyway."”Lingsha shook her head." You savage, you're obviously much weaker…Forget it. Let's go back to our rooms first. We'll see if we can sneak out tonight and help the villagers."”
Just as the three of them were about to leave, Murong Ziying walked out with a dejected expression. The three of them had originally harbored a sliver of hope that the sect leader would change his mind at the last moment and agree to their request. Now, seeing Ziying's expression, it was obvious that there was no hope. "Martial Uncle, Sect Master, she…" Meng Li asked.
Ziying waved his hand and sighed." There's no need to say anymore. It's getting late. You guys can go back to your rooms."”
Meng Li hesitated slightly, wanting to say something but not saying it out loud. Beside her, Tian He asked straightforwardly,""Martial Uncle, since the Sect Leader doesn't allow us to borrow the Water Forest Boar, then we can go down the mountain to deliver water and rations, right? Those villagers did not have any water. If they were not sent to them in time, they would die!”Thinking about how the villagers of Crescent Moon Village were still suffering, he really couldn't stay any longer. Even if he could sneak out at night, he couldn't wait any longer. Meng Li nodded slightly. Clearly, this was what she wanted to say too. Lingsha was a little worried. Although she knew that Ziying also sympathized with the villagers, with his rigid personality, if the Sect Leader had said something that was not allowed, she was afraid that he would not agree.
Ziying shook his head, but what he said surprised and delighted the three of them."You don't have to go anymore. I'll instruct Huaishuo, Huaining, and the others to send enough water and food to the villagers every day.”He sighed slightly and continued, The Village Chief is reluctant to leave her homeland, but the Sect Leader has made up her mind. Perhaps…sigh, perhaps after the matter of the Demon Realm, she will agree to lend the Water Spirit Pearl…""Now, we can only wait and see. Don't act rashly.”
Tian He and the other two finally felt relieved. They didn't expect that Ziying's anxiety was the same as theirs, and she had thought deeper. When she was rejected by Su Yao, she had already thought of the aftermath. They felt that Ziying, the cold and indifferent martial uncle, had suddenly become gentle and amiable, and the distance between them had narrowed a little. Lingsha clapped her hands and laughed. Little Ziying, I really couldn't tell that you're such a good person. You're more thoughtful than us!”
Ziying looked at her and saw her smiling like a flower. He couldn't help but smile. However, after a moment, he revealed some guilt. He looked at the foot of the mountain and whispered,"What merit do I have today? I'm ashamed of myself, and I can't forget it all day.”
Liu Mengli praised," This is a poem by Bai Letian of this dynasty. Martial Uncle has a good memory."”
Ziying shook his head and sighed." The Qionghua Sect's success today is not entirely due to the blessings of the immortals. It is actually due to the help of many secular people." The purpose of our generation of cultivators is to cultivate the immortal path one day, to help the people in danger and save the people from water and fire. It is both saving the world and repaying kindness, but today…sigh! Many of our Qionghua Sect's disciples were originally from the foot of Kunlun Mountain. If they knew that they couldn't benefit the elders at the foot of the mountain with their cultivation, what would they think? If the villagers of Yuaya Village knew about this, what would they think of us cultivators?"
" It's not your fault, Uncle Master," Tian He consoled." If you want to blame someone, blame the Sect Master for being too stingy…" Before he could finish, Zi Ying waved his hand to stop him and said solemnly,""As a disciple of Qiong Hua Sect, how can you talk about the Sect Leader like this? The sect leader must have her own difficulties, but it's not enough for us disciples.”The expression on his face turned serious again as he waved his hand and said,"Alright, I've said everything that needs to be said. You guys can go back to your rooms and rest.”
Tian He and the others had to return to their rooms to rest, while Ziying sighed and left. Although the lives of the villagers of Crescent Moon Village were not in danger for the time being, as long as the Water Spirit Pearl was not lent out, the water source would not be restored. The villagers would still have to endure the pain of hunger and thirst, waiting with an increasingly anxious mood. This, in the hearts of the four people, was a lingering shadow.
At night, Murong Ziying silently came to the Hall of Deities where the memorial tablets of the Qionghua Sect's seniors were placed and knelt in front of Elder Zong Lian's memorial tablet.
" Grand Master, I still don't understand what happened today…You always told me that cultivators should help the world, but now, the suffering people are at the foot of our mountain. Why did Sect Master…"
Zong Lian's memorial tablet stood there in a daze, and the surroundings were cold.
In the month after the Water Spirit Pearl incident, Tian He and the others practiced with Zi Ying every day. However, Zi Ying seemed to be deliberately slowing down the progress of teaching the three of them. She only taught them some basic sword control and sword techniques repeatedly. Tian He and the others did not know that this was actually Su Yao's intention. They repeatedly asked Zi Ying why she was teaching so slowly. Zi Ying always gave the excuse that the Demon Realm was coming and there were too many things in the sect, so she could not teach too many profound Tao techniques at the moment. Finally, she explained it so that no one doubted it. However, he was originally a very open and aboveboard person. Now, because of the sect leader's instructions, he had to find many reasons that did not actually exist to appease everyone. He was also very unhappy. In the end, he simply reduced the time he spent teaching the three of them. Sometimes, he would say that he had something to do and not see the three of them for an entire day.
Tian He and the others often had nothing to do. When they were free, they would chat with Huaishuo and the other disciples to relieve their boredom. They even pretended to be under the orders of their Uncle-Master to go down the mountain with the other disciples to deliver water and food to the villagers of Yuaya Village. The strange thing was that this was clearly a violation of the sect rules, and they had done it again and again. Many people in Qionghua Sect already knew the truth. Many disciples of the senior uncle's generation were quite dissatisfied with this, and some even threatened to report it to the sect master. However, Ziying didn't care about it. When they met, he didn't even mention it. The three of them were a little afraid at first, but as time passed, they became accustomed to it and acted more and more without any scruples.
Of course, they didn't know that the reason why Zi Ying, who had always kept her cool, was so indulgent towards them was because of Su Yao's arrangement.
On this day, Tianhe and the other two were bored and wandering around the sect. Suddenly, they saw Huaishuo walking towards the mountain gate alone. He looked like he was in a hurry, as if he had something to do. "Huaishuo, where are you going?" Tianhe greeted him with a smile. Are you going to send something to the villagers?"
Huaishuo looked at the three of them and smiled.""That's not it. Mingchang and Mingchen already sent it this morning. I came down the mountain this time because of Martial Uncle Ziying's instructions.”
"Oh, really?" Lingsha asked with a smile. Ziying even let you go down the mountain alone? Is there something big?" Qionghua Sect had strict rules for disciples. Disciples with the lowest seniority like Huaishuo and Tianhe were not allowed to leave the mountain unless instructed by their masters. When the masters sent their disciples down the mountain, especially when they ordered a disciple to go down the mountain alone, it was usually because they had important things to do. It was difficult to complete it without sufficient cultivators. This time, Ziying asked Huaishuo to go down the mountain alone to do something, which could be said to be a great affirmation of his ability.
Huaishuo was a little embarrassed." It's not a big deal. Martial Uncle Ziying was observing the weather in the sect two days ago. He found an evil aura about a hundred miles to the southeast. It's very strange." Martial Uncle was originally worried that there were evil spirits there, but after careful inspection, the aura there was quite different from ordinary demonic qi, so he ordered me to go and check. If there were really demons that harmed the people, I would get rid of them.”
Meng Li was a little strange and asked," But why doesn't Martial Uncle go personally?”Huaishuo said," Uncle-Master wanted to go personally, but he has to go to Nvluo Rock in Shouyang in the next two days to check if the evildoer there has revived. He really can't get away. In addition, I pleaded beside him, so Uncle-Master agreed to let me go on his behalf."”After saying that, he smiled. It had been six or seven years since he had joined the sect, but he had not gone down the mountain many times. Most of the time, he had gone down the mountain with dozens of other disciples to do some unimportant things. On the contrary, he was often pestered by Xuanji, who could not stand the loneliness, and was forced to sneak down the mountain to play quite a number of times. Today was the first time he was sent out by Martial Uncle Ziying to complete a mission alone. He couldn't help but feel happy and nervous.
When Lingsha and the others heard that Ziying was going to Nvluo Rock, they were a little nervous. However, on second thought, more than a month had passed, and Huai Mi and the others should have left long ago, so they were relieved. Tianhe scratched his head and asked," Oh right, Huaishuo. Won't Xuanji go with you?"”Embarrassment flashed across Huaishuo's face as he smiled bitterly."" Sigh, Tianhe, you know that she's probably only focused on catching the Summer Song Worm these days. She doesn't even think about me…"
It turned out that on the second day after Tianhe helped him catch the Summer Cry Worm, Huaishuo went to Xuanji excitedly and gave the worm to her. He thought that he could make this willful junior sister happy, but he did not expect Xuanji to be so picky. One moment, he said that this worm was ugly, and the next moment, he said that the worm did not sound good. After picking and choosing, Tianhe and Huaishuo spent an entire night catching the Summer Cry Worm and did not like any of them. They said that if they gave such a bad worm to Uncle Ziying, they would not laugh at him. She was so embarrassed. In the end, she taunted Huaishuo and only asked for Huaishuo's insect cage. Then, she asked Huaishuo to tell her how to catch insects, and she ran to the side to catch them. Based on Huaishuo's words, Xuanji probably hadn't caught any satisfactory bugs these past few days, so of course, he wasn't in the mood to run around with him.
Liu Mengli saw his awkward expression, but her heart felt warm. She sighed and said,""Senior Brother Huaishuo, you're so good to Junior Sister Xuanji. You're always thinking for her and following her wishes. Junior Sister Xuanji always likes to do things according to her own temperament. Don't take it to heart.”Huaishuo blushed and waved his hands."Hai, as a senior brother, of course I have to help junior sister! Junior Sister is still young, so it's normal for her to have a temper. Why would I be angry with her…"
" Oh right," Tian He said with a smile," we're free too. Why don't we go together?"”Huaishuo was a little hesitant." This…isn't very good. After all, Martial Uncle didn't let you go down the mountain…""What does that matter? How many times have we gone to Yuaya Village this month? Ziying didn't even mention it. Perhaps he has already acquiesced to us leaving the mountain!”
Huaishuo thought about it and shook his head." But this time, it's different from delivering things to the villagers of Yuaya Village. You might encounter demons and be in danger."It's precisely because it's dangerous that we have to go together! Although our cultivation is a little weaker, after all, one more person means one more strength. Perhaps we can even help you. We also have a lot of experience, hehe.”
" Yeah," Tianhe said." If we all go together, it'll be easier to fight the demons. We can also help the commoners get out of their predicament earlier."”Huaishuo saw that both of them wanted to go together, so he turned to Meng Li and asked," Junior Sister Liu, what do you think?" Meng Li nodded." I'll go with Young Master Yun and Lingsha. If they want to go, I'll go too."”
Huaishuo thought for a moment and nodded." Alright, since you're all willing to accompany me on this trip, I have no objections. Let's go together."”This was the first time he had been ordered to leave the mountain alone. He was originally quite nervous, afraid that his cultivation was not enough and he could not complete the mission. He would disappoint his martial uncle. Seeing that the three of them were willing to help, he was happy to agree.
"That's great! Let's go!" Lingsha said happily.”Huaishuo nodded. The four of them walked to the door. The gatekeeper disciple came up to ask. Huaishuo hesitated for a moment before saying that his martial uncle had asked the four of them to go out to eliminate the demon. The gatekeeping disciple saw that Tian He and the other two had been coming in and out these days and was already used to it. He didn't check whether what he said was true or not (in fact, he couldn't verify it since Ziying wasn't in the sect) and just waved his hand to let them pass.
Tian He's group of four came to the door and looked at the direction of the sun. They pointed to one side and said,""This direction is the southeast. According to Martial Uncle's speculation, the place we're going to should be about a hundred miles away. If we fly on our swords, we'll arrive in a moment. However, we don't know anything about the situation there, so we have to be careful…"
Lingsha looked unconcerned and smiled.""Alright, alright, there's no need to be so careful. Let's fly over first!”These days, she and Huaishuo had gotten to know each other better, and their relationship had become much closer. She no longer respected him as much as she did before they entered the sect, and her tone was much more cordial. As she spoke, she took the lead and flew up. Tianhe, Huai Shuo, and Meng Li also followed on their swords. The four of them flew towards the southeast.
After these days of practice, Tian He and the others had made great progress in their sword control skills. Lingsha, who was trembling in the sky, was now flying freely. Tian He and Mengli were even more skilled. Their sword control skills were almost no less than Huaishuo, who had cultivated for many years. Huaishuo watched the three of them fly and secretly praised them for their talent. They had actually learned the most basic sword control technique in the sect to such a level in such a short time. In fact, they had to thank Ziying for not teaching the three of them any other immortal techniques these days, allowing them to concentrate on practicing the sword control technique. As a result, their level had greatly improved in just a short month.
Looking from afar, four white shadows were seen shuttling through the clouds. Some were elegant, some were bold, some were graceful, and some were graceful. From time to time, the laughter of Lingsha and the excitement of the Heavenly River could be heard from the clouds. The four of them flew in an extremely carefree manner. They could not help but laugh in unison when they were enjoying themselves, throwing the unhappiness and worries of the past few days to the back of their minds. The spirit of youth flew freely.
