Chapter 408: Hanging and Beating the White Lotus (7)
Lu Cha hid to the side and witnessed the whole process, and when she saw the white point of light entering Bai Lian'er's mouth, her heart did not show a happy look as before, but her body trembled, as if the white point of light entered not Bai Lian'er's mouth, but her mouth! Bai Lian'er didn't know, but at this time, Lu Cha, who also had that white point of light in her body, knew that it was not a white point of light at all, but poison!
"Is the play good?" Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in Lu Cha's ears. Lu Cha's body was stunned, and he turned his head stiffly to see that Zhongli was standing behind her at some point, looking at her with a quiet gaze like water, and there was no anger in his eyes, as if he was already a dead man!
Lu Cha was shocked, took two steps back, turned around and ran out in a panic.
"Master, do you want to chase after you?" Behind Zhongli standing, a shadow-like figure silently appeared and made a motion to wipe his neck. Zhongli waved his hand and motioned for him to step aside. Heh, it's just a grasshopper in the palm of his hand, and it won't last long, and let her live a few more days.
After being humiliated by Zhongli, Bai Lian'er returned to her small courtyard in embarrassment, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She has been held in the palm of her hand since she was brought back to Tingyulou by the previous head, and she was pampered when the previous head was alive. Later, the previous head died, and she successfully became a saint, and others followed her. Later, she was a good color, and she was the saint of Yulou, how many people in the rivers and lakes wanted to ask to marry her, but she only listened to the special rules of Yulou, so she didn't get married. But those people weren't in a hurry to treat her well.
Not long ago, she still enjoyed the days when she was surrounded by all kinds of men and the stars holding the moon, and only Zhongli was just a little kitchen steward, and she dared to say such a thing! She naturally looked down on Zhongli, but it was the first time she had been so humiliated since she had grown up! This made her even more resentful. Bai Lian'er clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger, Zhongli, I am inseparable from you!
Zhongli's request to marry Bai Lian'er caused a stir in Tingyulou, and after a few days of precipitation, everyone's curiosity about Zhongli finally subsided. And these did not have the slightest impact on Zhu Yao, she still followed the previous model, allocating time for herself every day to practice, eat, rest, and brush up on her sense of existence. It's just that because of what happened last time, the place where she brushed her sense of existence in the past few days has been changed from the back kitchen to the back mountain of Tingyulou.
The mountain behind the rain building is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter, and this rule is said to have been passed down from the head of the faction. As for why it became a forbidden place, the reason is also different. One of the most widely spread is that there is a large array in the back mountain, which is sealed with very powerful monsters, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties of disciples, the back mountain is simply sealed. As for the truth of this, that's something that no one knows. After all, Tingyulou has also been established for hundreds of years, and those who knew the truth before have long been ancient.
"Zhongli, do you say that this back mountain is really sealed with monsters?" Zhu Yao and Zhongli sat side by side on a boulder in the back mountain, swaying their little feet, their eyes full of curiosity. The legend about the back mountain was recently heard by others in the practice room, and then she remembered it in her heart. If there is any change in Zhongli in this life to the present, it is his feelings for Bai Lian'er.
That day, Zhu Yao heard at first glance that he was like the head of the family asking to marry Bai Lian'er, and thought that the plot was going to unfold along the previous life again, but she didn't want to be suspicious before the evening. Zhongli's attitude towards her was so strange that she had to be suspicious. So she boldly guessed that Zhongli must be staying in Tingyu Tower now for the purpose of the side, and asking to marry Bai Lian'er was a way to cover up herself.
It wasn't until I heard about the legend about the back mountain in the past few days that Zhu Yao's mind suddenly opened up. Zhongli should be the monster that was sealed here in the back mountain! You know, his true identity is the left protector of the demon world.
"Who knows. Why are you interested in this? Don't you want to go and see it?" Zhong Li's expression was faint, so that Zhu Yao couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
Zhu Yao rolled his eyes, approached Zhongli, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Zhongli, otherwise, let's go and take a look, maybe there are really monsters, I haven't seen what monsters look like." ”
"Don't go!" Zhongli stretched his waist and simply lay lazily on the boulder, rejecting Zhu Yao's proposal.
Zhu Yao scratched her head, wrinkled her face, and looked entangled. Alas, the mission goal is too smart, and it's obviously not the same rank as yourself, so it's hard to deceive!
When Zhu Yao felt that he had enough sense of existence, and after returning to his small courtyard, he was still lying on the boulder, and Zhongli, who looked lazy, immediately got up, and his face also changed, and said coldly: "Hurry up and find out that sealing array, time is running out!" After speaking, Zhongli squinted his eyes dangerously, he had already felt the demonic energy on Bai Lian'er's body that day, presumably that sealing array would not last long!
The world still has misunderstandings about the demon world and monsters, and always thinks that the people in the demon world are monsters, but in fact, they are fundamentally different from monsters. The world doesn't know that monsters can devour everything in the world, even people in the demon world are not immune.
Therefore, once that monster is about to be born, it will be the entire rivers and lakes that will suffer!
At the beginning of August, it had been half a month since Bai Lian'er's accident. And the sect's punishment for Bai Lian'er was finally posted, and the notice only vaguely pointed out that because Bai Lian'er was confused for a while, she did something sorry to listen to Yulou, so Bai Lian'er's position as a saint was revoked. And the notice also clearly stated that because Bai Lian'er's vacant position of saintess will be selected among the new disciples this year.
As soon as the news came out, the entire sect began to be lively, especially the new disciples. On weekdays, few people come to the place where Zhu Yao and her new disciples live, but since the announcement came out, there has been an endless stream of people coming and going here every day. Zhu Yao couldn't bear to be disturbed, and spent most of her time in the practice room every day, and the other part was spent on brushing her sense of existence, and she would only return to the room when she was resting every day. However, Xiao Yuanyan took this opportunity to meet a lot of other senior sisters, and heard a lot of gossip, just waiting for Zhu Yao to go back every day to start the buzzing mode in her ears.
Then the information collected by Xiao Yuanmian made Zhu Yao know a little about the senior sister he had seen in Bai Lian'er's yard before. This person's name is Lu Cha, and when he first heard this name, Zhu Yao squirted out a mouthful of tea in his mouth. Lv tea, hehe, green tea......
Sure enough, the white lotus and the green tea table are true love......
Judging from the information learned from the little round face, Lu Cha started earlier than Bai Lian'er, and became a saint earlier than Bai Lian'er. Her master was the same saint as this year's head before, but her master failed to become the head later. Later, after the head of this session succeeded to the throne, her master trained her to become a saint as well. originally planned to train her as the next head, but who knows, she suddenly killed a white lotus halfway. Therefore, since then, she has hated Bai Lian'er.
According to the gossip collected by Xiao Yuanyan, the last time Bai Lian'er and Lu Cha went out on a mission together, they were killed by Lu Cha! Of course, this kind of thing is unfounded, and everyone guesses based on the grievances between the two in the past, and no one will really tell this suspicion to the master. Zhu Yao felt that this matter was true nine times out of ten!
Based on the information given by Bai Lian'er in the system, plus her previous understanding, she didn't think that Bai Lian'er was half similar to her name. On the contrary, everything she did could even change her last name to black.
is such that Bai Lian'er and Lu Cha went on a mission together but had an accident, but Lu Cha, who went out with her, came back intact. Oh. No, it is said that Lu Cha was also quite embarrassed when he came back that day. It's just that compared to Bai Lian'er, her injuries are negligible.
Oh, what a good show! Zhu Yao made up in his mind the scene of Bai Lian'er and Lu Cha fighting for a hundred rounds, and his intuition was comparable to a palace fighting drama.
In this way, Lu Cha is now the victorious side. However, Bai Lian'er was not so easy to be defeated, at least from her preparation to recover the little round face and her own actions, it can be seen that she will not admit defeat. Therefore, Lu Cha's chess piece can be used. After thinking about it in his mind, Zhu Yao had another plan. After all, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. However, if this momentum continues, Zhu Yao feels that he can still add fuel to the fire. Having made up her mind, Zhu Yao went to Bai Lian'er with a little round face the next day.
The little round face was a little reluctant, and his face was clearly written unhappy. She was still thinking about Bai Lian'er's attitude towards the two of them last time, and this time she took the initiative to find Bai Lian'er without any worries, and she resisted from the bottom of her heart.
"Oh, Zhu Yao, why did we come to her, you forgot her attitude towards the two of us last time. All the way, the little round face was muttering and complaining. Zhu Yao dragged her hand, just smiling good-naturedly, as for the little round face, she would have already entered her left ear and her right ear out.
"It's here!" Suddenly, Zhu Yao let go of the hand that had grabbed all the way and stood still. Xiao Yuan's face looked up, and sure enough, he had already arrived outside Bai Lian'er's courtyard.
"I won't go in, you will go in by yourself, I'll wait for you outside. The little round face kicked the small stone under his feet, wrinkled his nose, and said with a snort.
Zhu Yao looked at the quiet courtyard but didn't go in immediately. The courtyard was quiet, and standing outside, I couldn't feel any sound coming from inside, as if there was no one living in the courtyard. But Zhu Yao remembered clearly that Bai Lian'er had been staying in her small courtyard since the announcement was posted, and she heard that even the daily meals were cooked and brought to her by others, and she didn't know if she felt that she had no face to see people, so she hid.
"Senior Sister Bai, is Senior Sister Bai here?I'm Zhu Yao, is Senior Sister Bai here?" Zhu Yao shouted a few times in a row, but no sound came from inside. Zhu Yao was uneasy, and always felt that the current situation was a little weird.
Xiao Yuan's face pursed her lips slightly, rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "She must think that she has no face to see people! Oh, let's go quickly, if she doesn't come out, forget it." With that, the little round face was about to pull Zhu Yao away.
At this time, the door creaked open, but Bai Lian'er still made a little sound, and even next to the open door, Zhu Yao didn't see Bai Lian'er's figure.
Zhu Yao and the others came from the practice room, it is said that it is almost noon at this time, and the sun is abundant, and the room should also be full of sunshine. But through the wide open door, Zhu Yao saw that Bai Lian'er's room was pitch black, standing at the door of the small courtyard where Zhu Yao was, he could only see the open door, which was pitch black, and nothing else could be seen. The open door is like a big mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door.
On a hot day, Zhu Yao felt a trace of coolness rushing up from the soles of her feet. She couldn't help but reach out and grab the hand of the little round face next to her, until the temperature of the sticky palm of the small round face in the palm of her hand passed through, and Zhu Yao's heart had a trace of warmth. Zhu Yao calmed down, swallowed his saliva, pretended to be calm and moved his gaze from the door of the black hole to Xiao Yuan's face, and said with a trembling voice: "It seems that it is unfortunate that we came today, Senior Sister Bai is not here, let's go back, come back another day." After speaking, he pulled out a stiff smile, pulled a small round face and turned to leave. The body was tense, and there were even cases of the same hands and feet.
With a creak, as Zhu Yao and Xiao Yuanmian left, the door of the black hole closed again, this time even the door of the small courtyard was closed, cutting off everyone's sight.
Zhu Yao listened to the creaking sound behind him, the hairs on his body stood up, and the pace under his feet accelerated. The little round face was pulled by her and almost fell.
"Little junior sister is here, I just went to the practice room to look for you. The two little sisters are here to find me, go to my place for a cup of tea. Just when Xiao Yuan's face was pulled by Zhu Yao and almost fell, Bai Lian'er turned around from another road. As soon as he saw Zhu Yao and Xiao Yuan's faces, he said with a smile, completely missing the decadence of the previous few days.
Thinking of the abnormal movement in the small courtyard just now, Zhu Yao secretly quietly became vigilant. She looked at Bai Lian'er in front of her and looked at it carefully, Bai Lian'er she didn't have much contact with, and more impressions were unearthed from the system. So if there was really something wrong with Bai Lian'er at this time, she really couldn't see it. However, one thing Zhu Yao is sure of, that is, there must be something wrong with Bai Lian'er's small courtyard!
