Chapter 3: Mortal Calamity
At the outer gate of the East Courtyard of the True Martial Arts Academy, Yan Ruxue and Liu Yiyi walked side by side, followed by the whispers of several fellow brothers.
"Look, Senior Sister Yan and Senior Sister Liu are so beautiful!"
"Who do you say is more beautiful, Senior Sister Yan or Senior Sister Liu?"
"I think Senior Sister Yan, Senior Sister Yan's eyes are so beautiful!"
"I think it's Senior Sister Liu, Senior Sister Liu's skin is so white!"
"I heard that the "Outer Gate Shuangshu" has passed the inner gate assessment, and will enter the inner gate in three days, I heard that this time Elder Hong will also accept a disciple!"
"I heard that Senior Sister Yan has been appointed by the Inner Gate Elder, and it seems to be Elder Hong!"
"The brothers of the inner gate are blessed, alas, I don't know which pig will be arched!"
......
A day later, in the evening, Liu Yiyi, who was covered in blood, stumbled into the mountain gate and shouted: "Elder, save like snow!"
By the time the outer gate elders guarding the mountain gate, under the leadership of Liu Yiyi, found Yan Ruxue in the Source Beast Forest outside the mountain gate, Yan Ruxue had already fallen under a big tree, and her death was very miserable, blood flowed all over the ground along the wound on her chest, and she had stopped breathing.
Liu Yiyi told the elder what happened:
Yan Ruxue recently wanted to learn alchemy, and began to be keen on studying some basic-level medicinal herbs, so Yoliu Yiyi went to the Source Beast Forest to see what medicinal materials could be found.
The two of them also found some usable medicinal materials, and looked at the sky and walked back, but when they were about to walk out of the source beast forest, they were suddenly attacked by a black-clothed masked man, and the masked man stabbed Liu Yiyi first, Yan Ruxue saw that the two of them couldn't beat the masked man, so she blocked the masked man herself, and asked Liu Yiyi to hurry back to the mountain to call people, but Liu Yiyi was still a step late when she rushed back with the elders.
Yan Ruxue had actually been internally appointed by Elder Red of the Inner Gate, and although she died unexpectedly before she was accepted as a disciple, Elder Hong still asked someone to arrange the funeral of this unfortunate disciple.
Elder Red An personally brought in the chief elder of the outer gate, and asked the outer gate to investigate the black-clothed man who attacked the disciples of the True Martial Academy, Elder He Bi, who was in charge of the affairs of the outer gate, was full of promises, but after checking for half a month, he had no clue, everyone thought that it might be just a person passing by, who had already stayed away from the realm of the True Martial Academy, but some people wondered why they attacked Yan Ruxue and Liu Yiyi if it was just a passing person, was it just because the two of them were really unlucky!
During this period, looking at Elder Hong's face, the True Martial Arts Academy specially arranged for Wu Meng, an outer gate steward, to take Yan Ruxue's body and relics home, and Elder Hong also arranged for one of his disciples, Li Changqing, to go back to Changsheng County with him, and personally explain the matter to the king of Changsheng County. You must know that in this kind of martial arts-dominated country, the rise and fall of the royal family can be dominated by the sect, and the county lord of a small place like Changsheng County will not be regarded by a sect like the True Martial Sect at all, and can send a steward to deal with it, mainly for the sake of the face of the elders of his own sect.
When they came to Changsheng County, Li Changqing and Wu Meng first visited the county king's mansion.
When the King of Changsheng County and the Princess of the County heard that the people from the True Martial Academy had come to Changsheng County, they smiled and planned to entertain their daughter's fellow disciples, but they didn't want Wu Meng to tell Yan Ruxue the bad news, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and then Li Changqing expressed Elder Hong's words of care, and the King of Changsheng County didn't listen to it at all, and was stunned as if he was stunned.
Li Changqing was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice sound: "Mine is like snow!"
It turned out that the princess of Changsheng County also rushed to meet the guests with a thought of missing her daughter, and the princess who didn't want to rush to the princess happened to hear that Yan Ruxue had died, and suddenly she was extremely sad, and she was about to collapse when she shouted, and the maid next to her hurriedly supported the princess.
When the king of Changsheng saw the appearance of the princess, he endured the pain in his heart, walked over and hugged the princess, but he choked up and couldn't speak.
The housekeeper of the county palace led people to carry Yan Ruxue's body and relics into the courtyard when Yan Ruxue lived in the palace, and the immortal county king and the princess came to the mortuary room, and the princess saw her daughter's body and cried and pounced.
The King of Changsheng County was also extremely sad, but when he saw the princess like this, he could only go over and hug the princess and comfort her in a low voice.
Seeing this, the housekeeper Yan An asked someone to lead Wu Meng and other people from the Zhenwu Sect to rest first, and while arranging the funeral matters, he asked someone to quickly take Yan Wuji back to the palace.
It turned out that Yan Wuji was not in the palace at this time.
The immortal county king and his wife were very fond of Yan Wuji, especially after Yan Ruxue was sent to the True Martial Arts Academy, the county king and his wife also transformed their thoughts of the big county lord into love for the little daughter around them, and they were almost obedient to Yan Wuji.
Wuqi Continent advocates martial arts, people who practice martial arts are superior, and it is a glorious thing for ordinary people to be able to open the martial arts vein and become a martial artist, and a family like the county king's mansion is naturally not stingy to spend a lot of money to cultivate the martial arts cultivation of the children of the family, Yan Ruxue opened the spirit-level martial arts vein and entered the True Martial Arts Academy to practice martial arts, which made the immortal county king extremely glorious, and also made the surrounding counties respect the immortal county king more than before.
Yan Wuji has been very smart since he was a child, and the king of Changsheng County and his wife thought that Yan Wuji could surpass his sister in martial arts, but Yan Wuji did not dare to be interested in martial arts at all, and later the princess mentioned that when Yan Wuji caught Zhou, what he caught was a talisman pen, and the king of Changsheng County asked someone to spend a lot of money to hire a talisman master, and Yan Wuji really loved it very much.
In the Wuqi Continent, Fu Shi and Dan Master are relatively rare high-end professions, but it takes much more resources to cultivate one than to cultivate a martial artist, so the status is extremely high.
This talisman surnamed Lian, although he is only a second-level talisman master, is already the highest level of talisman in a small place like Changsheng County, although Mr. Lian promised to teach Yan Wuji, but he did not enter the house to teach.
The Changsheng County King and the County Princess saw that the little county lord liked to draw talismans, thinking that the identity of the talisman master was only higher than that of martial arts practitioners, so they arranged for the guards to send Yan Wuji to Mr. Lian's house every day to learn to draw talismans. When Li Changqing and others visited the county king's mansion, Yan Wuji happened to go to Mr. Lian's house to learn to draw talismans, and he had not yet returned to the county king's mansion.
Yan Wuji handed the talisman paper used for practice to Mr. Lian, Mr. Lian nodded, praised a few words, and asked the guards to escort her back to the county king's mansion.
Yan Wuji rode his little white horse, and the four guards followed on both sides, walking slowly while looking at the stalls and vendors on both sides of the road, and when he was passing by a teahouse, he met the housekeeper Yan An who sent him to find the county lord, and the family saluted and said: Miss Wuji, the prince told you to hurry back to the house!
At this time, a man in red who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the teahouse suddenly turned his head to Yan Wuji and the others, listening to the conversation between Yan Wuji and Jia Ding, with an evil smile, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
The red-robed man's sleeves flicked, and a golden thread rushed towards Yan Wuji's horse like lightning, and a guard beside Yan Wuji seemed to hear something, and looked around, but found nothing. When the guard was secretly pondering, he heard Yan Wuji's "ah", and his body shook and he was about to get off the horse, and the guard hurriedly flew to catch Yan Wuji, but found that Yan Wuji's face was blue, his eyes were closed and he couldn't speak.
A guard hurriedly picked up Yan Wuji and rushed towards the county king's mansion, with the family following closely behind.
At this time, someone shouted "snake, snake", everyone saw a small golden snake quickly swim away, two guards from the county king's mansion opened the crowd to chase, the little snake quickly disappeared, and the guards had to hurry back to the house.
In the county king's mansion, the immortal county king and the princess were still sad and sad in front of Yan Ruxue's corpse, and they saw a family member rushing to the backyard with a guard holding Yan Wuji, shouting while running: "Oh no, Miss Wuji has an accident!"
