Chapter Ninety-Six: Running Away from Home
Shangguan Xiuer was startled, but was squeezed aside by Chao Dongyang and didn't dare to squeak.
Chao Dongyang approached Li Wei and asked, "What did you just say, what are the tasks and secret news of the Demon Hunting Palace?"
Li Wei was stunned, not understanding why Senior Brother reacted so much, and after a pause, he said uncertainly: "Explore the ruins, find the spiritual veins, hunt down the evil cultivators, and dig up rare treasures?"
Chao Dongyang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked again, "And then?"
And then ...... Receiving the quest and completing it can be exchanged for contribution points in the Demon Hunting Palace, which can also be used to purchase related secrets or individual secret treasures. Li Wei shrank back, for fear of being kissed by Chao Dongyang within this ambiguous distance.
"What's the most important thing, you know? After the master becomes a one-star preacher, if you want to go one step further to become a two-star or even three-star preacher, you have to keep accumulating contribution points. ”
Seeing that Chao Dongyang retreated with a heavy heart, Li Weicai continued to say with great interest.
"I see. Shangguan Xiu'er bowed slightly, "In this way, after becoming a one-star missionary, it is not just as simple as testing the ability to preach, but also making enough contributions to the Taoist Hall or mankind." ”
"No wonder ......" Shangguan Xiuer then remembered his father Shangguan Hongyun.
"It's no wonder that after Daddy became a one-star preacher, he had no plans to go further. Shangguan Xiuer secretly slandered himself.
"With his little pitiful courage, he entered the ruins, killed evil cultivators, and broke into forbidden places, and I am afraid that he would not even dare to mention it. ”
Of course, Shangguan Xiuer can also generously admit that he disdains to do these things.
That kind of thing, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is full of danger, and the ghost is interested.
Isn't it fragrant to stay in the human territory guarded by the big array and the strong like clouds, cultivate with peace of mind, and look at the beauties?
"Let's go to sleep when I'm done, it's not too early, and I have to go to practice with Master tomorrow. Chao Dongyang, who had regained his calm, spoke up and interrupted the discussion between the two.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Chao Dongyang and the four of them still followed Lu Tong to the Little Pine Forest Preaching Platform on time.
It's a pity that this place is no longer as lively as yesterday, and it has once again returned to its desertion.
Lu Tong didn't care, and took the four of them to practice the Stacking Wave Dao Method for an hour step by step.
Immediately, Li Wei and Su Chengcheng retreated, and only Chao Dongyang and Shangguan Xiuer were left in the preaching platform.
"Senior brother, I injured my muscles and bones yesterday, so I don't have to fight today. Shangguan Xiu'er made a preemptive strike, and said with a bitter face and a limp.
Chao Dongyang ignored him, but came to Lu Tong, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, and solemnly and respectfully said: "Master, the disciple wants to go to the Taoist Hall today to see around, and I ask the master to agree." ”
"Go ahead. Lu Tong didn't open his eyes, but said lightly.
"Master Xie!" After Chao Dongyang was solemn again, he reluctantly took a few steps back and turned to leave.
"Senior brother, I ...... too" Shangguan Xiu'er secretly felt strange, but as soon as he spoke, he was glared at by Chao Dongyang.
"If you hurt your muscles and bones and have difficulty moving, just stay here with Master. Chao Dongyang said categorically.
Before Shangguan Xiu'er could fight again, Chao Dongyang's voice turned soft again, "When I'm not there, you have to take care of Master." ”
Immediately, Chao Dongyang no longer hesitated, strode out of the preaching platform, and went straight to the direction of the twelve partial halls.
"Inexplicable!" Shangguan Xiuer stroked the ends of his hair and reluctantly sat back in place.
"This guy, should you ......" Just after sitting down for a few breaths, Shangguan Xiuer suddenly glared.
"Wouldn't it be that you opened your mind and went to talk to those girls in broad daylight?" Shangguan Xiu'er thought of this, and almost ran away.
"Impetuous and impetuous, what are you doing, you are not good at cultivating? If someone comes to the door to provoke today, you will take the battle. Lu Tong suddenly opened his eyes and let out a low snort.
Shangguan Xiuer hurriedly sat down with his legs on his feet, not daring to be distracted anymore, his heart was full of sourness.
After a peaceful day, no one came to challenge, and Xiao Yulang, who swore yesterday, did not bring anyone back.
Even Chao Dongyang, who went out, was gone.
It wasn't until it was dark that the Taoist Hall was about to close, and Lu Tong woke up from his cultivation.
"What about Dongyang?" Lu Tong glanced at the bored Shangguan Xiu'er and asked casually.
"I haven't come back, maybe something has delayed. Shangguan Xiuer replied respectfully.
He was still thinking that when he went back, he would definitely go to track down the traces of the senior brother and have a never-ending arrest.
"Let's go first, he should go back to the inn by himself. Lu Tong didn't doubt him, got up and walked out.
When Lu Tong and the two returned to the inn, Shangguan Xiuer went to his and Chao Dongyang's room as soon as he slipped away, looking around, his nose twitching.
Lu Tong had just returned to the room, and before he could sit down, he heard an exclamation from the next room.
Immediately after, Shangguan Xiuer hurriedly ran over and exclaimed, "Master, it's not good, senior brother, he betrayed ...... No, he ran away from home. ”
Lu Tong suddenly turned around, stared at Shangguan Xiu'er, and shouted softly, "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Xiuer held the letter paper in his hand, handed it to Lu Tong, and said, "Senior brother said that he would go out of the city to practice for a while, and he didn't explain much else. ”
Lu Tong took the letter with a solemn expression, and glanced at it, it was indeed Chao Dongyang's handwriting.
The letter only said that he would go out of the city to practice, but did not say where to go or what to do.
Also, Master should not worry, and when he has something to gain, he will rush back as soon as possible.
Lu Tong looked up at Shangguan Xiu'er and asked, "What unusual behavior has Dongyang had in the past two days, or has he heard some strange rumors?"
It was the first time that Chao Dongyang said goodbye like this, and Lu Tong was a little worried that he would act impulsively.
After Shangguan Xiu'er pondered for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, senior brother shouldn't have gone to the Demon Hunting Hall and received some task?"
"Why do you say that?" Lu Tong frowned.
Shangguan Xiuer roughly repeated Li Wei's words last night, as well as Chao Dongyang's abnormal reaction.
After hearing this, Lu Tong sighed slightly, he understood that Chao Dongyang was stimulated to find the rumored rare treasure medicine that could improve the root bones.
This is Chao Dongyang's heart disease all along, especially after Lu Tong accepted Shi Miao and Shangguan Xiu'er, he felt that his senior brother was inferior to others in this regard.
This point can be judged from Chao Dongyang's current thirteen zhang square circle.
And this disadvantage will become more obvious with the breakthrough of the catastrophe again and again in the future.
It is also because of this that Chao Dongyang cultivated harder, increased his actual combat ability, and made up for his shortcomings.
It wasn't until he entered Jiuxuan City and encountered a peer like Xiao Yulang that Chao Dongyang was even more stimulated.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that there was a scarce elixir to raise the root bones, he left alone without hesitation.
"Why bother with this......" Lu Tong sighed, but he had no intention of going back to Chao Dongyang.
This is the path he has chosen, and as a master, Lu Tong feels that he does not have to impose obstacles.
