Chapter 9, The Last Night
Two days, soon arrived.
Xia Fanxing lay at the foot of Zhixuan Peak, and the warm twilight sprinkled down. Behind her sat a confused Senior Sister Jin Ru, and there was no more diligent Uncle Luo at the foot of the mountain. After the news of the twenty-four disciples returning to the Inner Sect this morning was passed down by the Supreme Elder Heart Soul Dao and Heart Yin Dao, it seemed that all the five generations of disciples were rushing to the top of the various spiritual mountains, and they were very busy.
Before midnight tonight, pack up all the things you brought to the bottom of the Spirit Mountain, and return to the respective bedrooms of the Inner Sect Mansion.
That's what the words say. However, the two of them chatted boringly for an afternoon at Zhixuanfeng, which was not far from the Inner Sect, but they did not see any of the twenty-four disciples who were familiar with each other carrying things back to the Inner Sect. It seems that everyone wants to stay under the Spirit Mountain until the last moment for the same reason.
The twilight under the Spirit Mountain is always so magnificent. The sun sets, and the blood-colored glow spreads across the heavens. I had already talked to Senior Sister Jin about why she suddenly asked them to return to the Inner Sect. Senior Sister Jin is kind-hearted and simple-minded, it's normal not to understand the reason, and Xia Fanxing doesn't plan to explain this reason to her.
But he thought that there would definitely be many other smart disciples, like himself a few days ago, who had guessed why they were asked to return to the Inner Sect immediately. Maybe it was a premonition that a big war was coming. Although the elders did not have a special reaction to this, the six generations of disciples all wanted to contribute to the sect again and keep it until the last moment.
Xia Fanxing sighed softly, not knowing what the mood and expressions of the fellow disciples who were distributed under the Spirit Mountain would be at this moment.
After seeing the best sunset view that can only be seen under the Spirit Mountain, the two didn't say anything else, and just stayed like this for a long time. Until the stars in the sky were dotted and the moon was spreading, Jin Ru's soft voice was also a little uneasy and melancholy, "Senior brother, it's time for us to clean up our things." ”
"Hmmm......"
These days, the place where they rest is a cave at the foot of the mountain. There are three chairs inside. There is an alchemy furnace next to it, which is Uncle Luo's. Originally, Xia Fanxing also had one, but he didn't take it out again after he brought it to the secret realm and came back. There was a lamp hanging in the cave that had not been extinguished for three months, a few small bags were placed on the ground, and there were some spirit stones scattered around, as well as some cultivation aids.
The two of them were silent and packed their belongings into their bags. Xia Fanxing carried two bags on his back and sat on a chair.
His mood is a little complicated.
"Are you going to put the lights out?" Jin Ru asked.
He smiled, "Keep it, Uncle Luo will come back." ”
Xia Fanxing sighed and looked back at Jin Ru. She also sat in a chair with several small bags next to her. There are indeed a lot of things that girls carry with them. "Senior sister, no matter what happens, you must be well. ”
This tone is naturally not like what the junior brother should say. Jin Ru smiled, she had always been so optimistic. "What are you talking about, I think, we must have lost a lot of time in the past three months, so Master and they let us go back. There will be nothing else. ”
"Stars, don't think too much. She smiled at Xia Fanxing.
"Yes, when the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is over, everything will return to its original state. He didn't believe it himself, but he just wanted to say it. In fact, after the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, the real troubled times are estimated to have just arrived.
He remembered these three months. Although most of the time is spent in the outside world to experience storms that have never been experienced. But the days of guarding the mountain with Senior Sister Jin and Uncle Luo still made him feel very warm. In the past so many years, he did not know Jin Ru deeply. Only now do I realize how safe it is to be with her. Although, her own cultivation is much higher than hers.
In the first few chaotic days, she was the first to discover every situation, and she was more reliable than her uncle. Every time, she stood in front of him. Every time, she was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to be heavy on those who came to make trouble.
As the first batch of six generations of disciples with Hou Ying, Wang Yunming and others. Her cultivation is now the lowest, and she may also have the lowest status. But he also has the most friends in the sect. It really seems like her home. Xia Fanxing understands that the positive she has become a bright spot in his life. is different from the best friend, different from Senior Sister Hou, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, different from his tender Liu Er, and even more different from Qin Blind and Li Wan, who are scheming but have a true temperament. She is like a sister who can talk to anything.
Although, there are too many things that Xia Fanxing can't bear to tell her.
"After returning to the Inner Sect, Senior Sister can't take care of you. You have to work hard, after a period of time in the sect conference, you will definitely be able to surpass many people. ”
"Definitely, senior sister, you too! Everyone must ...... well" Xia Fanxing tried to squeeze out a smile, trying not to think about what might happen in the next few days.
"Hi... What's wrong with you? Jin Ru smiled, a little uncomfortable with Xia Fanxing's strange attitude.
"Wow, can't I care about my senior sister?" Xia Fanxing stood up and said pretending to be aggrieved. "In a few hours, our mission is over. Let's stand the last post together. ”
"Okay! These three months should be regarded as the first experience of our six generations of disciples. Start and finish well, do your own thing, and leave the rest to our masters. Jin Ru stood up and walked out of the cave after Xia Fanxing.
Time passed quickly, and the time was approaching.
As the two expected, it was another quiet night. It was even quieter than the previous two days.
Until, when they were going to go back to the cave again, back to Neizong with their bags on their backs.
Not far away, about ten miles away, there were bursts of fighting. And, the sound of the fight soon became louder and louder. The most obvious is the sound of the explosion and impact of the weapon when it breaks through the air, each one ringing louder and louder, and it seems that the fight is very intense.
After hearing the sound of the fight, Xia Fanxing's face sank, he thought for a moment, and said categorically, "Outside the two spiritual mountains, there is no mountain!"
Not far from the foot of the mountain, there is the west mountain gate of the Tu Feng Sect. Seemingly... Someone has infiltrated the sect!
The next moment, Guanmei Peak in front of him flew a white shadow at an extremely fast speed in the direction of the mountain. Xia Fanxing doesn't have to think about it to know who it is, Senior Sister Hou who is half-step knotted!
At the foot of each spirit mountain in the three directions of the southeast and north, one figure after another ran in that direction. Disciples with high cultivation are directly flying, and those with slightly lower cultivation are also urged by Shenxing Technique. A black shadow jumping left and right also passed through Zhixuan Peak and headed towards that side at a high speed. This must be his little junior brother Zheng Hong, who has amazing foot strength.
"Senior sister, let's go and have a look!" With that, he spread his footsteps and ran towards the two spiritual mountains in the west. Jin Ru immediately followed, and the two of them went all out, and the speed was also very fast.
I don't know what the elders of the five generations are doing now. This afternoon I left the foot of the mountain and gathered halfway up the mountain and higher. At this moment, no one heard the movement near the mountain and came to check.
Quickly rushed to the vicinity of Bu Tilt Mountain. Xia Fanxing's keen eyes saw that almost all the twenty-four sub-disciples had gathered here. Most of them were two people standing together, watching a fierce fight at the foot of the mountain on the empty flat ground on the west side of the mountain. At this time, an indifferent voice sounded in my ears,
"Don't come to help! I'll subdue him myself!"
This indifferent voice is very familiar, it is the voice of the third senior brother in the third place, Ming Shen.
Look at the foot of the mountain, two lights and shadows are in full swing. Under the dim moonlight, the faces of the warring parties could not be seen without looking closely. Holding a double-strand sword, with an angry face on his face, it was Senior Brother Mingshen. On the other side, after the fierce impact of the golden Zen staff and the double-strand sword, it was a monk with no hair on his head, not very old, frowning. The two sides slammed into each other with their weapons, taking a few steps back from each other.
Moreover, this person's cultivation, he could feel that at most he had just entered the middle stage of foundation building. He already had seven spirit tripods, and he could still sense that the other party's foundation building level was almost the same as his own. And Senior Brother Mingshen is also a monk of similar level, but the foundation building grade is a little lower, only six tripods. But it may be slightly higher than the other party. So it's not wrong that the two fight so fiercely that it's hard to tell the difference.
The remaining twenty or so sixth-generation disciples who surrounded the foot of Lingshan Mountain around them, as he said, did not rush to intervene.
Ming Shen has a similar personality to Hou Ying. It's as cold as iron, but it's worse than Hou Ying, and there are hardly any friends in the sect. And everyone never dared to have any opinions on the second senior sister, but for Ming Shen, many junior brothers looked at him a little unpleasantly.
This bald donkey from nowhere could fight with him so fiercely, not to mention that he asked people not to help. No one was going to help him. It's more because, even if Ming Shen can't beat them, there are so many of them, can't they catch a monk in the foundation building period?
It is estimated that only behind Xia Fanxing, Jin Ru, who is the most kind-hearted, is really anxious for Mingshen. She watched around as her fellow disciples moved, but found that no one had helped. There was no way to help, so I had to stare dryly, watching the two of them raise their weapons again at the foot of the mountain.
Xia Fanxing suddenly thought that since Han Ningxue was taken away by Shoujun last time, his disciple Pan Tao Tongzi smashed the hand of his best friend Zhou Zhu, after a period of cultivation and the medicine given by Shoujun, Zhou Zhu would have been able to continue to guard the mountain a long time ago. And the one who sits at the foot of the mountain with Mingshen seems to be Zhou Zhuyi?!
As soon as he thought about it, he was slapped behind him, which startled him. When his best friend saw him coming, he immediately ran to his side.
"Zhou Zhu, what's going on here?"
Zhou Zhu was not nervous at all, and explained with a smile - it turned out that not long ago, when the two of them were packing up their things, they suddenly heard a movement at the foot of the mountain. Ming Shen immediately rushed over and stopped the monk who was about to go up the mountain.
"And then I rushed over too. The two of them seem to have quarreled. I don't know what I said before, the atmosphere is already tense. I chime in and said what he's here for. As a result, he replied to me that he was going to Guanmeifeng to find someone. I just wanted to say that this is not Guanmei Peak, but the third senior brother seems to be very angry, and he stabbed him a bald donkey. As a result, the bald donkey poked the sore spot of the senior brother, because he had sensed the cultivation of the senior brother, so he said that he was a waste of the six tripods. Mom, the third senior brother is angry, and there is no chance for me to interject at all, so he directly fights, and it has become the current situation. ”
"Didn't this bald donkey say where he came from? I think it should be the West Pole Sect, right?" At the foot of the mountain, the two of them, Ming Shen's whole body was surrounded by purple Seven Killing Star Qi, and the monk had words in his mouth, and the golden Buddha light overflowed from the rosary on his neck, protecting his whole body. Keeping some distance from each other, they didn't rush straight up like they had just done. Instead, he chose to confront each other for a while.
Xia Fanxing said, and Zhou Zhu also agreed, "The monks of the big sect are only the ones in the West Pole Sect. I don't know why he wants to go up to Meifeng. ”
At this time, Jin Ru interjected worriedly, "Hey, there are so many of us, really don't we help Mingshen?"
