Chapter 15: Causes
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely long at this moment, Sun Liuhou obviously felt that he had counted several ten breaths, but he imagined that the scream of the little junior brother before he died was not issued for a long time.
"Was it swallowed alive?" he couldn't help but open his eyes, and that bloody and tragic scene had not happened.
Feng Diao took a few steps back, stared at Wei Zhen with a pair of huge cyan eyes, and stretched out his long beak like a blade to sniff at him a few times.
Slowly, the vigilance and doubt in its eyes completely disappeared, and it was replaced by a loving expression that seemed to be a mother beast seeing a little beast, with a left wing, gently rolling Wei Zhen under the left wing, and the big head began to rub against Wei Zhen's face.
"What the hell!" Sun Liuhou could hardly believe his eyes, and pinched his thighs hard, seeing that Wei Zhen was blinking at him under the wings of the wind eagle, and spit out a subtle pronunciation between his teeth.
He was a quick-witted person, and he already knew what Wei Zhen meant by looking at the shape of his mouth, and he suddenly knew everything in his heart. Wei Zhen ate the black-shelled Wind Eagle Egg, and there was the breath of a black egg in his body, so the Wind Eagle mistook him for his own fledgling.
Wei Zhen gestured one after another, signaling Sun Liuhou to go back and move the rescuers first, and then come to save himself.
Sun Liuhou thought about it for a while, and felt that there was only this way at present, let the little junior brother fool around first, and open the "distress charm" as soon as he went up, waiting for the rescue of the sect.
Who knew that as soon as he took a step, the giant eye of the wind carving immediately glared, and he was about to pounce, Wei Zhen's body jumped out to block the front, and the wind carving instantly became hesitant, and a low whistling sound came out of his throat. After all, it was still just a young demon beast, and its spiritual intelligence had not yet been fully opened.
Sun Liuhou dared to hesitate for half a minute, knowing that the opportunity could not be lost, and hurriedly climbed along the tree vines.
"Little Zhenzi, you wait! Senior brother will be back soon!"
Twenty minutes later, he climbed to the top of the cliff panting, and without resting, he took out three red paper talismans, and connected them with his fingers, and the three red lights rushed into the clouds in an instant, looking like fireworks in the sky.
In a secret room in the Maoshan Palace, three figures sat upright, a long candle was lit on the table, the candle flame flickered, reflecting the faces of the three people.
The person in the middle is Mao Yiqing, he seems to be indifferent, but the gloom that has been accumulated at the bottom of his eyebrows for a long time looks a little thicker at this time.
The person sitting on the right is the shopkeeper Yue of the Pingyang Inn, which is his identity on the surface, but it is just used to hide people's eyes and ears and facilitate the investigation of news from the outside world. He hurried back to Maoshan Sect at midnight yesterday, and the sect knew that there were not many people who had come back. He held a cigarette gun in his left hand, smoking it without a mouthful, the smoke was so thick that people couldn't see his face clearly, and only the occasional flash of smoke and fire would briefly reflect the old face hidden under the smoke and covered with black spots and wrinkles.
Sitting opposite him was Mo Zongnian, his expression gloomy and uncertain, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"I didn't think that these people had already traced down to the Red Ground Realm, and they really wanted to kill them all before they stopped. I don't know what the master did back then?"
Mao Yiqing's somewhat blurred voice broke the solemn silence in the secret room.
A month ago, Shopkeeper Yue was ordered by him to go to Wild Dog Town to secretly investigate the real cause of Old Man Wei's death. The reason why it was delayed for a period of time before sending people was that they were afraid that someone would pay attention, and when the time came, they would not find out the reason but enter the urn that they had prepared a long time ago.
Wei Zhen was young after all, and he was not present at the time of the incident, so some specific details could not be said. On this trip, the shopkeeper Yue secretly visited Du Locksmith and Zhao Langzhong, and finally made it clear what happened that day.
Old man Wei was provoked by others, and rashly used the "invisibility talisman", on the surface, it seemed that he died from his strength. And the two mysterious young men who deliberately provoked Old Man Wei, in the eyes of Du Zhao and the others, although they were not locals, they were just the sons of a noble family who came here.
But in the eyes of Mao Yiqing and others, this matter is by no means so simple. When the signs of the decline of the Maoshan Sect first appeared, there was a fierce dispute within the sect, and the disputants were divided into two distinct factions, one faction believed that it should be conservative and continue to focus on the study of the method of the Fu Array, and it was impossible to forget the ancestors. The other faction believes that it is necessary to follow the general trend of the outside world, focusing on the study of spiritual skills, supplemented by the study of rune arrays, in order to maintain the long-term prosperity of the sect. As a result of the dispute, neither of the two factions was convinced of the other, so there were fifteen sects. The Qishan Sect belongs to the sect of Heavy Spirit Technique, and it is getting farther and farther away from the way of the Fu Array, and all the disciples no longer refine their own "Fu Pan", which is equivalent to discarding the identity mark of the disciples of the Fu Sect. This is also when the old man Wei used the "invisibility talisman" that day, the two mysterious young men did not realize that he was the person of the Maoshan sect, but only regarded him as a wild cultivator who used tricks to deceive the foolish people in the countryside.
"Sect Master, how sure are you about this?" Mo Zongnian's question pulled Mao Yiqing back from his somewhat distant trance-like memory.
Mao Yi glanced at him lightly, lowered his eyebrows, and said unhurriedly: "One day ten years ago, I didn't know why I felt so frightened, so I violated the ancestral training of my master and used the secret technique of my sect - the technique of heavenly evolution, to damage my yang life for twenty years, and forcibly calculated, barely calculating that within a few years, the disaster of destroying the sect would come, but I didn't expect these people to move so fast!"
Hearing the words "Heavenly Evolution Technique", the corners of Mo Zongnian's eyes shrank obviously, and in an instant, they returned to normal, and said in a deep tone: "Is this really the will of heaven?
He clenched his fists and gurgled, and there was a sudden sense of grief and indignation in his momentum.
"Everything has a certainty!" Shopkeeper Yue, who had not spoken for a long time, knocked on the cigarette stick in his left hand and said indifferently: "I am already an old bone, and I should die here, and I don't want to die in a foreign land when I am dying." ”
"Could it be that this is our hometown?" Mo Zongnian's voice suddenly rose a little.
Shopkeeper Yue didn't argue with him, but said, "Sect Master, the matter has come to this, we should also prepare in advance!"
Mao Yiqing pondered for a while, and was about to answer, when a rapid alarm suddenly sounded outside the secret room.
The three of them frowned, stepped out of the secret room, and returned to the main hall.
The eldest disciple Huang Longzheng was waiting there with an anxious face, and when he saw the three of them, he hurriedly spoke: "Sect Master, Luo Shan sent three 'distress charms' to a disciple. ”
Mao Yiqing and Yue Mo glanced at each other and saw each other's thoughts, could it be that the enemy was found so quickly?
At this time, he didn't allow much thought, he hurriedly ordered, "Everyone is ready to meet the enemy", the light on the soles of his feet flashed, and the people had already flown into the air, and hurried towards the direction of Luoshan. Flying with a spirit weapon is a skill unique to the spirit captain.
Halfway through the flight, Mao Yiqing suddenly realized that something was wrong, this direction should be where the wind carving's lair is located. He thought for a moment - could it be that those two stinky boys went to provoke the wind carving again?
When I arrived at the top of the cliff, I saw Sun Liuhou sitting there with his head downcast, and when he saw him, he was overjoyed, and then lowered his head again.
"Hmph!" Mao Yiqing snorted coldly. "Where's your junior brother?"
"He's still down there". Sun Liuhou drooped his head and didn't dare to raise it, and his voice was as low as a little daughter-in-law who met someone for the first time.
"You senior brother is really good!" Mao Yiqing's tone couldn't help but become a little heavier.
Sun Liuhou was really angry when he saw that the master was moved, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly explained the cause of the incident in detail.
After Mao Yiqing heard this, his brows furrowed, but he also knew that Wei Zhen's life was not in danger for the time being, and the worry in his heart was reduced a little.
"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. ”
He stepped on the talisman light and landed steadily towards the bottom of the cliff.
After a while, he saw from a distance that on the long rock that protruded from the mountain, a fire had risen at some point, and a hundred-pound wild boar was roasting on the surface of the fire, and the little disciple Wei Zhen was busy back and forth.
Seeing such a scene, even with Mao Yiqing's light temperament for many years, he couldn't help crying and laughing. The pair of wind eagles were also aware of his arrival at this time, and their hostile and wary eyes were looking at this place.
Mao Yiqing had to smile bitterly and flew back to the top of the cliff.
"Your junior brother will not be in danger, you just stay here, and go back and settle accounts with you!" Mao Yiqing dropped a sentence and flew straight back to the sect.
Although it is only a false alarm here, how should we face the next wind and rain?
Sun Liuhou couldn't appreciate the burden of his master's heart, only to hear that his brother's life was fine, and his master's tone loosened a little, and his mood was much more relaxed.
When the sun was about to set, Sun Liuhou looked a little sleepy, and a strong wind suddenly blew under the cliff, blowing so that he couldn't open his eyes, only to see Wei Zhen sitting on the back of a wind eagle, squeezing his eyebrows at him.
"Senior brother, I'll go back first!" Wei Zhen waved his hand at him in a trembling manner, and a person and a sculpture disappeared in an instant.
"Uh!" Sun Liuhou didn't care whether Wei Zhen could see it or not, and smiled and grimaced at the cloudy sky. "What a blessing my junior brother!"
After this incident, Sun Liuhou was grounded for a whole month, but Wei Zhen was the only one who sat outside the valley formation all day because of that pair of wind carvings, Mao Yiqing was extremely kind, but there was no restriction on freedom, which made Sun Liuhou and the rest of the family even more envious.
In their eyes, this pair of wind carvings that are separated by a distance even if they usually wait and see, have become the personal spiritual pets of the little junior brother, not only can they take him to the world at any time, but their combat power is far beyond their own, and they are definitely qualified bodyguards. Even if such a spiritual pet is in some big sects, it is good to be able to have one, but the little junior brother actually has two at the same time, so he can't help but be jealous of his good luck. As for the reason for this, except for a limited number of people, no one can know.
