Chapter 8: Falling back to the Immortal Sect
In the dead of night, snow falls again in Seki and the surrounding area, and this winter day is unpredictable, but it loves snow the most.
In the courtyard of the mansion next to the city lord's mansion, the snow can be heard falling quietly, and in a house, Ning Lingshang is still sitting next to Li Shuyun's bed, wiping Li Shuyun's forehead from time to time with a handkerchief soaked in water, looking well-behaved.
The wind is blowing more and more fiercely, as if to blow the snow that has been accumulated in the sky for a long time down to the mortal world, the small courtyard is swaying in this wind and snow, and under a flash, more than a dozen figures appear in the courtyard, it is Li Shuyun's senior brothers, who looked at each other and were silent but agreed, presumably the mastermind behind the stabbing Li Shuyun was nearby, and it was better to retain his physical strength to squat in the house, so they flashed to the house.
"In the past, I saw the water like snow, so I looked for a place to return, and now it is raining all over the sky, and I don't ask where it comes from, who knows the bitterness...... Senior brother, do you understand?" Yun Ziming was dressed in white, wearing a jade crown, and standing on a roof with his hands behind his back.
The heavy snow covered Yun Ziming's body after suppressing his sword eyebrows, but in the eyes of outsiders, there were only a few feet of snow quilt on the roof of the snowman, and nothing else, as if Yun Ziming had a barrier attached to his body, blocking the eyes of ordinary people, and not blocking these few flying snow.
It snowed overnight, stopped in the early morning, and was replaced by golden sunlight, and the cloud on the roof disappeared, as if it had never been.
Although the goose feathers covered the ground with a few feet of snow overnight, and the snow on the road was deep, the materials needed to be transported back to the sect, and Li Shuyun's injuries could be better treated in the sect, so the group set off immediately after discussion. It's just that the real culprit behind this has not yet been found, and after returning to the sect, the leader of the team is afraid that punishment is indispensable, but Li Shuyun is just an ordinary disciple, and he can always prevaricate when he gives some gifts to the elders.
Under the gate of the city, the city lord Xu Ling took a group of people to bid farewell to Liu Quan and others, and the convoy had one more carriage with a carport than when he came, and the carriage was covered with fox skins, so that Li Shuyun could lie comfortably inside, and the coachman was Ning Lingsheng.
In order to prevent all people who might be assassins from mixing around, Liu Quan refused the city lord's request to send a master to escort him, although the city lord assisted in the investigation of the murderer for the first time, but the civil power within a radius of 100 miles belonged to the city lord, and at this moment Li Shuyun's assassination was on the cusp, and no one could get out of it, let alone the city lord.
In Liu Quan's opinion, this matter is likely to be done by the city lord, and he also handed over a letter from a tall woman Tang Chutong the night before, the city lord alone did not dare to assassinate the disciples of the Falling Immortal Sect, but with Tang Chutong, it was different...... And when Tang Chutong came out of the sect, he explained that Li Shuyun and Ning Lingshang would go last......
After refusing the city lord, the group walked up to the road, leaving one person to open the way with a huge wooden plank, changing every half an hour, taking turns to go into battle.
"Master, don't ......" Li Shuyun woke up in a dream, sat up and pulled the wound, grinning in pain, and the coachman Ning Lingshang lifted the curtain and stuck his head in: "What, I have a nightmare again?"
"It's great that you're okay, I can't remember what the dream was, where are we?" Li Shuyun saw that Ning Lingshang was unharmed, feeling that he was still surrounded by the assassin, and he was nervous and asked a few questions, and lay down again.
"Now on the way back to the sect, there are senior brothers around to protect you, you don't have to worry. Ning Lingshang was silent for a moment and said.
Li Shuyun opened his eyes and looked at the carriage shed, and asked in thought, "The people who assassinated me have no aura, I'm afraid they are some people in the rivers and lakes, have you found out where they come from?"
"I asked the senior brothers about this, although they searched with all their might after your accident, but they did not find those people and accomplices, I am afraid that they will be sealed when they come, and you will directly kill those six people, and the people in the city also claim that they have not seen those six people, so there is really no way to investigate. Ning Lingshang looked guilty and said apologetically.
Li Shuyun had no choice but to give up temporarily: "I'm tired, I'll rest first, Lingshang, I've worked hard for you." ”
At this point, Ning Lingshang turned around, bowed her head and said nothing, whipped the horse with a whip, and continued to walk on the road.
If I don't kill them, they will kill me.
Touched the wound on his right chest, this is the first time to kill someone, killing these six wicked people, naturally I don't feel anything, but the familiarity of this murder and his own reaction at that time still make Li Shuyun feel incredible, is it possible that I am a bloodthirsty person in my heart, this is a precursor to falling into the devil's path, he thinks of his parents, thinks of his senior brother, thinks of Ning Lingshang, and the sect he has been familiar with in the past six months, if he falls into the devil's way, where should he go, and he must not kill people until he has to do so in the future.
Li Shuyun slowly closed his eyes, and ran the Qi Drawing Technique to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the whirlpool of dantian aura gradually grew, and at the same time accelerated the healing of the wound, after all, it was a mortal weapon, and there was no secret wound left after the wound healed. Li Shuyun didn't know that his own momentum, after going through the incident of Guancheng, after killing the six assassins in a decisive moment, had already changed, from the ignorant immaturity at the beginning to the current indomitable and firm mind, this kind of mind is indispensable for cultivating immortals, and Li Shuyun will be much easier than others to survive the catastrophe in the future. It's a blessing in disguise.
After returning to the sect, Liu Quan arranged for his disciples to carry Li Shuyun to his residence, and immediately went to the inner gate to find the elder of the Law Enforcement Palace, the elder was named Wan Yihan, and his appearance did not match the name, only to see a red-faced old man, round eyes and thick eyebrows, full of heaven, black and white inch short hair rushed to the sky, I heard that this person lived to more than three Jiazi, in the middle of the foundation, he was one of the best masters in the sect, and he was in charge of the life and death of his disciples.
Liu Quan didn't dare to breathe in front of him, pretending to be calm and explaining the matter, not daring to have a trace of involvement, and even telling all his guesses, the purpose was to help Wan Yihan find out the real culprit as soon as possible and reduce his punishment.
"Elder, the responsibility for Senior Brother Li's assassination this time lies with me, and I have not fulfilled the responsibility of a senior brother. The disciple is willing to make up for his mistakes, and lead people to Guancheng to find out about this matter, and give Senior Brother Li an explanation...... "Liu Quan burst into tears, and his words all hated the person who stabbed Li Shuyun, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Okay, you are fully responsible for this matter, but more than 30 people in my Law Enforcement Hall are all monks above the seventh layer of Qi refining, not you can instruct it, you lead me to order to go to the outer gate to find twenty people, and those who do this will be exempted from the first quarter of tax grain. In addition, in order to avoid accidents, I will send a law enforcement disciple of the eighth level of Qi refining to assist you. If you have nothing else to do, step down......" The red-faced old man had a dignified bearing and gave orders impartially.
Liu Quan heard that the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall had arranged for him a cultivator of the eighth layer of qi refining to suppress the formation, but he was not happy at all, how could his third layer of qi refining withstand this kind of torture, this eighth-layer monk of qi refining was obviously sent by this Wan Yihan to monitor him. The bitterness in my heart did not dare to show on my face, so I had to thank him with a grateful face and then withdraw from the hall, and before leaving, I did not forget to praise the old man two sentences, what is deep and righteous, fair and selfless......
"Senior brother, what are you laughing at......" Li Shuyun avoided the wound, lay on his side on the couch, and looked at Yun Ziming, who was smiling and silent, and felt inexplicably funny.
Yun Ziming shook his head and said, "I laughed at you for not cultivating well, and you were stabbed by a few hairy children, hahahaha." ”
Li Shuyun was speechless: "Say that people are hairy children, how old are you." ”
"I'm seventeen, but I've been cultivating immortals since I was a child, and I've been practicing outside from time to time, what's the difference between those few masters of the rivers and lakes in front of me?" Seemingly dissatisfied with Li Shuyun's questioning, Yun Ziming raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Shuyun looked at the seven-foot man in front of him, he was born in his early twenties and eighteenties like the twenty-four-five-year-old young man, even if he was dressed in a white robe, he was inevitably old-fashioned, so he nodded and praised: "Senior brother, you are so mature, not comparable to ordinary people, and saying that those people are hairy children can be regarded as lifting them." ”
Yun Ziming hadn't heard the teasing meaning of Li Shuyun's words, so he sat down with a wave of his robe, picked up the teacup and tasted tea.
Fifty miles away from the city, the city lord sent his cronies to secretly seal the people who knew about it, and even those who knew who the beggar was hanging on the city wall were secretly executed.
The person who can be the leader of the team has his own prestige in this outer gate, and this mission can be exempted from a quarter of tax and grain, twenty people quickly gathered, and some people even fought for this place, fortunately, the sect has strict precepts, and it is strictly forbidden for disciples to kill each other, so there is no death.
"Senior Brother Bai, everyone is ready, wait for your order, and we can set off. Liu Quan was speaking respectfully at this moment, and directly opposite him was a strong man with a height of eight feet. It was Bai Zhuang, the eighth-layer Qi cultivation master sent by the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to suppress the formation.
"You can decide for yourself, I won't interfere, just give me a carriage for my cultivation. Bai Zhuang closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Liu Quan hurriedly ordered to go down, and after a while, a carriage was pulled, and the group immediately rode off, at first there were people chattering about why someone can sit in the carriage and go on the road, but he was immediately reprimanded by Liu Quan, saying that he wanted to respect the senior brother of the eighth layer of Qi training, and that was the future of the sect. After knowing that the person in the carriage was an eighth-level Qi cultivator, the gossiping person immediately stopped talking, trembling along the way, for fear of saying something wrong.
Ning Lingshang sat in the room and seemed to feel something, her eyes penetrated the wall, and she looked straight at the team of more than 20 people, and muttered a thought: "If you really find out what is good, it will be bad for me." Raising his hand and flicking his fingers, a person walked out behind him, it was really the tall woman Tang Chutong, stretched out her finger to her point, only to see that her cultivation was climbing steadily, spanning two levels, until it was the fourth layer of qi refining.
"Ahead of them, kill Xu Ling, destroy the corpse. ”
"Yes, master. The woman's words were cold and emotionless, as if this sentence did not belong to her. If anyone who is good at this way looks at it, they will know that this tall woman has already been refined into a puppet, and she is a line of corpses at this moment.
Tang Chutong walked out of the house and walked out of the outer door, as if there was a disturbance in the dark, and no one noticed that Tang Chutong disappeared from the outer door.
