Chapter 39: Return to the Academy
As soon as the rune paper was taken out, the golden fox immediately reacted, staring at the rune paper vigilantly, and there was a faint displeased roar in its throat.
Li Fei hurriedly said: "Don't mess with it! It roared just now, and everyone almost died!"
The black gauze girl moved everyone to the door, then turned back, and said softly: "The golden fox will roar, it can't be prevented, ordinary immortals can't resist, Ping Shao, you don't have to be reckless." β
Hu Jiaping didn't hear it, he threw out the rune paper gently, the strange thing is that all the spells could not work in the forbidden land, but this rune paper flew up on its own lightly, and slowly floated towards the golden sword.
As if facing a great enemy, it suddenly got up, opened its bloody mouth, and exploded with an earth-shattering roar, but fortunately, Li Fei got a gap to escape, and she was almost deaf again, and hurriedly covered her head and face. Who knew that this terrifying roar seemed to suddenly hit a wall, and it didn't take effect on Hu Jiaping and them, and the rune paper absorbed all the fierce roars, and it was still floating towards it slowly.
There was a trace of fear in Jin Qiyi's eyes, and he took a few steps back, Hu Jiaping's eyes were quick, and he picked up Li Fei and ran, this move really angered it, and he didn't care about the rune paper at the moment, and roared towards him. It was huge, and it caught up with Hu Jiaping after running a few steps, and slapped it with a claw on the head.
Hu Jiaping's movements were more agile than that of a monkey, and he rolled on the spot to dodge, shouting while running wildly: "Amu!"
The body of the black gauze girl suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke, and when the smoke dissipated instantly, there was a thin sword with a pitch-black body in mid-air, Hu Jiaping jumped up, grabbed the black sword in the air, and the cold light appeared, the long sword was out of the sheath, and the sword body was as dark as the scabbard, but this sword was not complete, and the tip of the sword was partially broken -- it turned out that the sharpening edge they were talking about that day was this sword, right? The so-called broken sharpening edge turned out to be the sword being broken.
Even if the sword attached to the spirit was broken, it was completely different from ordinary weapons, as soon as the blade came out of the sheath, it was a dragon roaring, and the dense and viscous demonic qi and miasma around it were also split by a sword. Hu Jiaping dodged Jin Xuanyi's second claw, shot like lightning, and slashed a sword on its leg, and in an instant, blood splashed everywhere, and the sharp edge was able to cut through Jin Xuanyi's thick fur with a sword.
Jin Fenyi roared bitterly, it only had two moves back and forth, Foxy Roar and Foxy Catch, both moves were useless, but they were hurt by people, and now they were finally a little scared, and shrank back with a low roar, but the golden pupils were reluctantly staring at Li Fei, very pitiful.
Ri Yan said that because the demonic energy of the nine-tailed fox with the seal on its back overflowed, causing this fox to be irritable and uneasy, so it wanted to leave Li Fei behind, so it was indeed pitiful. Li Fei originally planned to touch a demon zhu fruit to it, but as soon as his hand slipped, most of the fruits in his arms rolled on the ground, and more than a dozen fruits rolled to the feet of the golden fox, it lowered its head and smelled it, and it roared again, I don't know whether it was joy or anger, but the reluctance to chase gradually slowed down.
The sharp edge turned into black smoke again, and in a moment, the black gauze girl reappeared, and the two of them left the forbidden place where the monster was sealed in one go, and as soon as they came out of the stone gate, Hu Jiaping was really relieved.
"How is this stone door closed?" he asked.
The black gauze woman jumped into the pit at the end of the fork, and I don't know what she did, and the stone door was silently closed again, and her figure was supported by a small stone platform. It turns out that there is a stone platform in the cave, and once you touch the mechanism, it will fall, and if you touch the mechanism, it will rise.
Hu Jiaping checked everyone's injuries, but Ji Tongzhou was the most seriously injured, with miasma infection in front and a fierce roar in the back. Hu Jiaping immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "You can run anywhere, why did you break into the sealed forbidden land?"
Li Fei suffered a series of accidents this time, and now she suddenly escaped, and suddenly felt that her whole body was sore from head to toe, she was so tired that she didn't want to say a word, she sat on the side and was groggy, as if she was going to sleep.
The black gauze girl picked up Ah Jiao on her back, gently hugged Li Fei in her arms, and said in a low voice: "If there is anything to say, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." β
Hu Jiaping smiled when he saw the purple-clothed beauty on her back: "Oh, this is a fake Lin You, right? Tsk, it's actually a big beauty! No wonder Brother Mo is fascinated!"
The black gauze girl glanced at him coldly, and he immediately said, "You're right, let's go up quickly!"
The forbidden land could not resist the sword, and when he came down, he had already hung ropes on the cliffs on all sides, and followed the marks left in the forest all the way, and soon found the rope that hung down. After climbing up for a long time, the viscous miasma gradually became thinner, Hu Jiaping attracted the aura into his body, and suddenly there was a small white cloud under his feet, and he returned to the academy all the way.
When Li Fei woke up, her whole body was warm, her bones seemed to have become light and soft, and she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was an unfamiliar roof, not between her own thousand fragrances. Not far away, someone seemed to be talking softly, and her consciousness was hazy, but she couldn't really hear it.
Turning her head, she found that she was lying on a small bed, this room was very large, there were many beds, Li Fei saw Baili Singing Moon lying opposite at a glance, her whole body was covered by a layer of ice blue healing net, and there were large balls of dried blood on her clothes, and the whole person was still unconscious.
Li Fei was stunned for a while, and suddenly a spirit, a dazed sleepy insect suddenly woke up. She sat up suddenly, but saw that there were people on the other beds in the room, Ji Tongzhou and Lei Xiuyuan were shrouded in an ice blue healing net, and no one woke up except her.
The cot was close to the window, and the voice outside the window continued: "...... The academy is not a sect of its own immortal family, and the gentlemen are all elite disciples invited from other sects, Miss Ajiao, Mr. Lin You is hiding for you, even if it is me, I have no position to excuse you. Mr. Lin You is a member of the Fire Lotus Temple, and when this matter spreads, there will be a gap between the Shanhai faction. β
A Jiao's coquettish and brisk voice sounded: "I didn't hurt her, and I invited her to eat and live well for the past few months, you mountain faction people are so careful, it's really stingy!"
Mr. Zuoqiu said gently: "The girl's words are wrong, and she hid people for no reason, how is it different from provocation? What's more, the girl is a member of the Shanghai faction and has a special identity, so don't you think carefully before doing things?"
Ah Jiao hurriedly said: "Then what should I do? Isn't it okay for me to compensate them? This matter is my own willfulness and has nothing to do with the mountain faction and the sea faction! I will release Lin You immediately!"
Mo Yanfan also said: "Mr. Zuoqiu, this matter is indeed Ah Jiao's fault first, and the matter is also caused by the juniors, and the juniors are willing to work with Ah Jiao to apologize to the seniors of the Fire Lotus Temple, and let them be punished." β
Mr. Zuoqiu laughed: "Mo Shaoxia is a person from the Xingzheng Pavilion, you and Miss Ajiao went to apologize to the Fire Lotus Temple, but what did your teacher think? β
After a while, he suddenly said again: "Miss Ajiao's ...... of hurting the disciples of the academy with the Xingzheng Pavilion Character Nightmare Technique"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Yanfan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zuoqiu, the younger generation is willing to guarantee with his life, this matter is definitely not done by Ah Jiao!"
Mr. Zuoqiu smiled again: "I said that you were impulsive but you still didn't listen to it - Miss Ajiao used the Xingzheng Pavilion character spirit magic to harm people, and was injured by Mr. Zhenyunzi of Xingzheng Pavilion, and now she has escaped and does not know where, and the academy does not know her origin or name, but it can be confirmed that she is definitely not a person from Xingzheng Pavilion." Mo Shaoxia pursued all the way in the name of Zhengshimen, failed to arrest the demon girl, but accidentally rescued Mr. Lin You, the fire lotus accepted the love of Xingzheng Pavilion, this is a joy; the Shanhai faction does not have to give birth to a gap, this is two joys; Xingzheng Pavilion cleared the suspicion of crimes, this is three joys; you two love deeply, you don't have to be afraid from now on, this is four joys. Four happy events are coming, do you two still have such bitterness and hatred?"
"Mr. Zuoqiu......" Mo Yanfan's voice trembled slightly, he obviously understood his arrangement, the academy was willing to hide this matter and preserve Ajiao's identity as a Shanghai faction, it was really a great favor to sell it to Xingzheng Pavilion and the East China Sea Ten Thousand Immortals Association, at this time, it was superfluous to say anything to thank him, he only bowed his head deeply, and admired and thanked the founder of the academy in his heart.
Ah Jiao said softly: "Mr. Zuoqiu, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life." When I go back, I will tell my father that this year, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association will also come to participate in the selection of new disciples in the academy. β
Mr. Zuoqiu couldn't help laughing: "The people of the Shanghai Sect are willing to come, and the academy is naturally very welcome, but the cultivation methods of the Shanhai Sect are different, and you may not look down on the young disciples of the academy." β
A few people gossiped again, and Mo Yanfan left the academy with A Jiao and went to find Lin You. The room was quiet for a moment, and the door was suddenly opened, but it was Mr. Zuoqiu from the front hall who walked in, and Li Fei was inevitably embarrassed when he saw him, she always did this kind of inadvertent eavesdropping, it was really not intentional.
Fortunately, Mr. Zuoqiu didn't care, and first looked at the injuries of the other children, then pulled a chair and sat opposite Li Fei, and said gently, "What do you think?"
She shook her head, "I'm fine, I've been fine." β
He said: "These two children have signs of being injured by the miasma, and the internal injuries are extremely serious, Fang Cai Mo Shaoxia and Jiaping told me what happened, and it is also the negligence of the academy that you will fall into the forbidden land, so the academy will not pursue the matter of breaking into the sealed forbidden land." β
Li Fei nodded silently.
Mr. Zuoqiu looked at her with a soft expression, and said: "You are indeed fine, although you fell asleep when you came up, you were unharmed, but you scared Jiaping half to death, he said that you were pressed by Jin Xuanyi, and thought that you were going to break your hands and feet." β
Li Fei coughed twice and muttered: "It was the gentlemen who came in time, and I ...... at that time It's also scary. β
"Your constitution is very peculiar. Mr. Zuoqiu looked at her with a smile, "Mr. Dongyang will send you to the preliminary examination venue of the academy, presumably for this reason." Your constitution is not close to you, the thick miasma of the forbidden land cannot get close to your body, and you have purified a lot, and the roar of the evil cannot hurt you - and these things. β
He took out two shriveled purple and black fruits from his sleeve, Li Fei subconsciously touched his arms, the pocket of his clothes was empty, and the demon Zhu fruit that was originally contained was gone. At first, those monsters gave her more than a dozen demon zhu fruits, but then she accidentally dropped most of them at the feet of Jin Xuanyi, and the remaining two actually became so shriveled that she couldn't eat them when she looked at them.
"Do you know what this is?" asked Mr. Zuoqiu gently.
She knew that this was called Demon Zhuguo, but at the moment, she could only pretend not to know, and shook her head: "I don't know...... But Ji Tongzhou ate it and broke the bone. β
Mr. Zuoqiu said: "This thing, called Zhu Guo, has the divine effect of bringing the dead back to life for mortals and demons and people with low cultivation. Zhu Guo is not rare, the difficulty is that the place where it grows, it must be a place where the aura or miasma is extremely strong, and the aura of the academy can't grow, you see, it will be deflated as soon as it comes up. This thing, growing in a place with abundant spiritual energy, is called the fairy Zhu Guo, and growing in a place with rich miasma, it is called the Demon Zhu Guo, although the name is different, but the effect is completely different. In fact, the miasma is just the name of people who practice like us, the aura breeds immortals, the demon qi forms a miasma, the heaven and the earth are divided into yin and yang, and the two are mutually exclusive but cannot be separated, and yin and yang must even maintain a balance, just like immortals and demons, plundering and repelling each other, but in the end they are still interdependent. This is the Demon Zhuguo, only monsters can pick it, and it was given to you by the monsters in the forbidden land, right?"
Li Fei was taken aback, and his palms were sweatyβhow could he know?!
Mr. Zuoqiu said softly: "Don't be afraid, the reason is not difficult to guess, you have a special physique, you have purified the miasma, and those monsters in the forbidden land are a big threat, they are afraid of you, so they naturally want to send the most precious things to beg you to leave, this is the truth of the demon, we don't understand." It's a pity that the demon Zhuguo withered and dried up when it left the miasma, and it became like this, but it could no longer be eaten, so it could only be thrown away. β
Li Fei was still in shock, she hugged her knees tightly, in front of this old immortal, she felt that her secrets were like ice and snow exposed to the sun, digging out little by little. What if he still found out that Riyan was in her body? The forbidden land was also sealed with Riyan's demonic energy, and if they knew, they would definitely snatch Riyan away!
All along, it was Riyan who protected her and instructed her, she couldn't let him fall into the hands of these immortals, she had to protect him.
When Mr. Zuoqiu saw her stiff appearance, he said again: "There are some things I wanted to say when I first met you. Do you know it yourself? Compared to a single earth attribute spiritual root, your physique is the most precious thing, but it is precisely because of its rarity that it is easy to cause trouble. Although you are young, you are very sensible, and you do not preach the things of your physique everywhere, you must know that the husband is not guilty, and the things that are too rare exist in the body of the weak, which often brings great disasters. Jiang Lifei, I hope that no one will tell you about your special physique from today, and one day, when you grow up enough to protect yourself, this secret can not be a secret, otherwise, don't say a word. β
This is...... Li Fei couldn't help but raise her head, and Mr. Zuoqiu's smiling eyes were hidden behind her snow-white hair, gentle and kind, which reminded her of her master again. It was the first time someone so earnestly mentioned something about her physique, she understood that he was thinking about her, so she couldn't help but feel a slight fever in her heart, and nodded vigorously.
"Then, starting today, Jiang Lifei, a female disciple with a single earth attribute, because the gentleman who tested the spiritual root attribute last time was impersonated, your spiritual root test is not accurate. He took out an egg-sized bead from his sleeve, and the water was spotted with rain marks, except for a little loess at the bottom.
Mr. Zuoqiu squinted and smiled, actually a little playful: "Now that I have personally tested it, I have found that you are the spiritual root of the main water and auxiliary soil, which is also rare." β
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses, the spiritual root of the single earth attribute was too dazzling, and many eyes were focused on her alone, and it was inevitable that people would discover her special physique, and now Mr. Zuoqiu announced that the spiritual root test was wrong, in order to divert the attention of others, so as to teach her to be less conspicuous, which is safer.
Li Fei's gratitude to him in his heart was indescribable, and his eyes gradually turned red. Mr. Zuoqiu suddenly took out a string of beads the size of a projectile from his arms, but it was the incense beads that Dongyang Zhenren gave her to ward off evil spirits, before in the forbidden place, the evil beads were cracked and ineffective because the miasma was too strong, I don't know what method Mr. Zuoqiu used to restore them, and at this moment the pure spirit qi was attached to it again, even stronger than in the past.
He put the evil bead on Li Fei's wrist and said, "When others ask about it in the future, they will say that it is the function of the evil bead." I guess that Dongyang Zhenren also plans to give you the evil beads. β
Li Fei touched the beads, and the tears of her anger fell, she quickly wiped them away, and said in a low voice: "Thank you......"
Mr. Zuoqiu smiled slightly: "Now that you have recovered, go back to your room." The three children are only afraid that they will not be able to recover until tomorrow morning, so there is no need to worry. β
