Chapter 4: The Past
It wasn't until Cen Duxiao left that the classroom returned to tranquility.
Yi Shugui was a little restless, and his mind was no longer in class.
As the name suggests, the Siguo Cliff is a place where only disciples who have made mistakes and have been punished will go, and no one has set foot on weekdays.
Siguo Cliff is a small peak in the east of Chaoyang Peak, there is only a pavilion with a gold system binding enchantment on the peak, as long as the disciples who make mistakes enter without the instructions of the head or the elders, they can't get out, and this enchantment can only block people from entering and exiting, what snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts, wind and rain are the enchantment can't stop. You don't have to worry about snakes and insects in the current weather, but it's cold.
Guo Huaiyang, who was on the side, saw Yi Shugui's thoughts, and seemed to be a little angry, but because he was still in class, he didn't say anything.
She has a good impression of Yi Shugui, a junior brother beyond the friendship of the same family, but she, a "sword idiot" who is praised by everyone, is arrogant and subtle, and hindered by the identity of the senior sister, plus this guy follows Cen Duxiao all day long, so she has never shown it in front of others.
She doesn't have a deep hatred for the demons, and her mind is also focused on swordsmanship practice, but the Taoist education she received since she was a child also makes her have no good impression of Cen Duxiao, an outlier. It's just because of Yi Shugui's relationship that I said a few more words to Cen Duxiao.
At the end of class, Yi Shugui stood up and was about to run out, but was stopped by Guo Huaiyang and said, "Are you going to think about the cliff?" She said such a ridiculous thing today, which annoyed Master Zhuang, aren't you afraid of being punished together if you go now?"
"I'm not going, Master Zhuang is angry, how can I be so stupid, I'm going to beg my father, see if I can let Xiaoxiao come out early, my father loves me the most, he will definitely listen to me." Yi Shugui stopped and looked back at Guo Huaiyang, "My father also knows Xiaoxiao's situation, she has always had a heart disease after the accident in Cen Jia Village, and she has always spoken like this since she was a child, but people still don't have bad intentions, my father must understand, right?"
After speaking, it seemed that he wanted to get Guo Huaiyang's approval, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, what Xiaoxiao said this time was too amazing, it was really unheard of, and even he couldn't predict what his father would think when these words reached his father's ears.
Knowing that Yi Shugui wanted to intercede for Cen Duxiao, Guo Huaiyang was even more unhappy in his heart, "Master, he doesn't understand the old man, I don't know, I only know that this girl's mind is not in cultivation at all, and it is really in vain Master's painstaking cultivation." ”
In the Qingxia Hall of Luoyan Peak, hearing about the farce in the demon elimination theory class, Yi Han fell into deep thought.
Ten years ago, on the eve of the Midyear Festival, Yi Han learned that Jinquan Town at the foot of Huashan Mountain seemed to have a soul devouring demon that had devoured the souls of several people. The demon who dared to be haunted at the foot of the immortal gate, he had seen it for the first time since he had practiced, so he personally went down the mountain to investigate.
After going down the mountain, I found that this demon came and went erratically, unlike ordinary Soul Eaters who had a beast body, and always wandered in Jinquan Town, devouring souls was also very regular, like people, three meals a day, the souls of three people a day, unlike ordinary Soul Eaters who were not content to frantically devour souls to increase their strength.
He followed it for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, but he still didn't catch it, so he asked for help from the other brothers in the sect to surrender together.
However, before the same door could reach Jinquan Town, on the day of the Midyear Festival, he heard about the tragedy in Cen Jia Village.
He rushed to Cen Jia Village first, and there were already corpses all over the field. Every household in the village has prepared river lanterns, candles and paper ingots for worshipping their ancestors. Cen Jia Village already has the custom of worshipping ancestors on the Midyear Festival, which is not surprising.
Fortunately, he found the only living mouth in this village - Cen Duxiao. The skinny little girl curled up under the bed in the room, clutching a sachet embroidered with a strange pattern in her hand.
He coaxed the frightened child, picked up the sachet and observed it carefully, and found that the pollen in the sachet had special spiritual power, not like ordinary things in the world, so he knew that it was the spiritual power of this sachet that prevented the soul eater from harming the child and saving her life.
He took the girl to check, the girl was not injured, Yi Han checked the surroundings and found no trace of the Soul Eater, and afterwards it seemed to have evaporated from the world, I had never heard of a similar Soul Eater doing evil, had it been killed?
What puzzled him was why this Soul Eater, who had only been wandering around Jinquan Town with a regular eating pattern, would come to Cen Jia Village, thousands of miles away.
In this way, with curiosity and doubts, Yi Han returned to Huashan with Cen Duxiao.
Two strange things happened to Yi Han, one is that Yi Han's son Yi Shugui was frail and sick before he was eight years old, and he often had nightmares, and he couldn't find a cure after searching for famous doctors, but since Cen Duxiao went up the mountain, Yi Shugui recovered like a miracle drug. The second is that Cen Duxiao suddenly fell unconscious one day a few days after going up the mountain, and even her breathing and heartbeat were gone, just when everyone thought that the person was dead and ready to be buried, she miraculously woke up again, and after waking up, she said some inconsequential words and cried and made trouble, and then this situation happened several times.
Because of these things, many people in the sect felt that Cen Duxiao might be weak in physique and easy to attract evil spirits. Yi Han knew that she was unusual, so he still accepted her into his own door, passed on the magic and pure heart tricks, and treated her as his own.
In the past, Cen Duxiao was only hit by the tragedy of Cen Jia Village at a young age, and she would always talk nonsense when she had a shadow in her heart, but now, she said that "the demon was originally a human", which suddenly reminded Yi Han of the Soul Eater Demon back then, is it really as she said, the Soul Eater Demon of the year was transformed by the soul of a person?
But according to his and even all the people of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, the soul of a person after death cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot have any impact on the human world, how can it turn into a demon and hurt people?
At this time, the eldest disciple Yuen Long walked in, saluted Yi Han respectfully, and said slowly: "Master, recently when I and the second junior brother were exterminating demons at the bottom of the mountain, I heard some rumors, I wonder if we can help the little junior sister?"
Yi Han motioned for Yuen Long to get up and continue.
Yuen Long straightened up and said: "Nangong Yu, the valley master of the Medicine Immortal Valley, was injured by a golden-winged beast before, he was delirious, and he hurt people everywhere. After that, Nangong Yu kept this master in the Medicine Immortal Valley and respected him as a medical immortal. It is rumored that the medical immortal can raise the dead and flesh and bones, if you go to the Medicine Immortal Valley to visit this medical immortal, ask the medical immortal to take a look, I think it will help the little junior sister's illness. ”
