Chapter Twenty-Four: Under the Mask

Time always flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the new disciples enter, all the new disciples are gathered in the desperate hall, the dragon is hidden in the immortal, and it is easy to rely on the immortal, including the Muzi immortal who has never shown his face, and the head of the family are all present Standing on the high platform of the main hall, the scene is very grand, but for some reason, Nangong Ling is wearing a flower carving mask to show the public today, as if he intends not to let everyone see his appearance!

"The initiation ceremony of our Heavenly Immortal Sect is selected by these three immortals from among you, which immortal you are selected, you are the disciple of which immortal, three months later, there will be a three-day competition, and the person who wins in the end will worship under the head of my sect, okay, now please Longyin Shangxian, Yi rely on Shangxian and Muzi Shangxian to choose new disciples!" Wuxian stood on the side of the high platform dragon hidden immortal and said.

Long Yin Shang Xian, Nangong Ying Shang Xian, Yi Cheng Shang Immortal and Mu Zi Shang Immortal stepped down from the stage together and came to the new disciples to look up and down, carefully observing each new disciple, it didn't take long for the four Shang Immortals to be selected, only one person, he is Long Yi, Long Yin Shang Xian, Yi Yi Shang Xian and Mu Zi Shang Immortal all want Long Yi to worship under his own door, Long Yin Shang Immortal and Yi Yi Shang Immortal pulled Long Yi's arm left and right, only Mu Zi Shang Xian stood quietly in front of Long Yi, watching them pull Long Yi, And Nangong Ying Shangxian watched the three of them fight Long Yi on the sidelines, as if they were watching a farce.

"Haha, you two are really kids! It's easy! Let Long Yi choose for himself, he can go to whoever he wants, let him make his own decisions! Muzi Shangxian looked at Long Yin Shangxian and Yi Shangxian and said.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Long Yin Shangxian and Yi Yi Shangxian let go of Long Yi's arm at the same time, and Long Yi sighed softly.

"Okay, you choose!" Muzi Shangxian said, and the three Shangxian stood in a row in front of Long Yi for him to choose.

"Well, I choose... , I choose to be easy to fight on the immortal! Long Yi thought and thought, and seemed to be thinking about something in his expression.

"Haha, look, Long Yi still chose me!" Yi relied on the immortal to turn to the dragon and show off proudly.

"Hmph, it's boring!" Long Yin walked away angrily.

"Alas, there is no way." The fairy on the wood sighed, unwilling.

"By the way, the head of the Immortal Venerable, why are you wearing a mask?" Xue Ru asked curiously, pointing to Nangong Ling's mask.

"Oh, the head of the family occasionally felt a cold yesterday, and he didn't want to infect everyone, so he wore a mask." Nangong Ying explained, as if she was defending Nangong Ying for something.

"Now that they are all assigned, I invite the four immortals to teach your disciples well, I am looking forward to the competition in three months!"

Nangong Ling pretended not to pay attention to Xue Ru, and left the main hall after speaking.

"The voice is so familiar, I look like I've heard it somewhere!" Xue Ru felt very confused, but she didn't think much about it.

"Young Master Long, we are all under the door of Yi Cheng Shangxian, and we can meet every day in the future! Hehe! Xia Zili walked to Long Yi's side with a smile on her face as soon as she saw the head of the house leave.

"Oh!" Long Yi had an expression full of indifference, and he didn't even look at Xia Zili.

"Brother Long Yi, I have been assigned to Nangong Ying Shangxian, I can't accompany Sister Xiao'er for the time being, you can help me talk to her,

I'll go see her whenever I have time. Xue Ru said in frustration.

"Well, you can rest assured! I will take good care of Xiao'er and will go to accompany her often. Long Yi patted Xue Ru's shoulder and said.

"Hmm." Xueru was very relieved of Long Yi's words.

"Hmph." Xia Zili saw that Long Yi ignored her, and stamped her feet away angrily.

After the head left, Long Yin Shangxian, Nangong Ying Shangxian, Yi Cheng Shangxian and Muzi Shangxian respectively took new disciples to their respective fields, these new disciples followed the teachings of their respective masters, and practiced swordsmanship and mantras every day, after more than ten days, Han Xiao's body gradually recovered, and after recovery, Han Xiao directly worshiped under the door of Yi Yi Shangxian, and practiced sword with Long Yi every day, sometimes the two of them also made a bet together in Mei Manor to see who practiced the most plum petals on the sword when practicing the sword, and the relationship between the two people was deepened little by little.

"Young Master Long, let's have a competition too!" Xia Zili didn't care whether Han Xiao was there or not, so she walked directly to Long Yi, pulled his arm and said, as if she didn't take Han Xiao in her eyes at all.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Long Yi shook off Xia Zili's hand and pulled Han Xiao away.

"What! It's okay to accompany Han Xiao to practice swords, but it's not okay to accompany me to practice swords, is my Xia Zili uglier than Han Xiao? Xia Zili was rejected by Long Yi again and again, and she felt very sad, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow out, and she couldn't figure out which point she was worse than Han Xiao.

"Sister Xiao'er, Brother Long Yi, I'm here to see you, hehe!" Xue Ru happily jumped up and down Laimei Manor to find Han Xiao and Long Yi.

"What are you doing here?" Xue Ru walked up to Han Xiao and Long Yi and asked.

"Hehe, Xiaoxue, you're here!" Long Yi looked at Xue Ru with a grin.

"Hehe, we're enjoying plum blossoms! The weather is so good today, it's a pity not to appreciate the plum blossoms! Han Xiao looked at the plum blossoms, closed his eyes, and raised his head slightly to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Oh, you have so much time, you just don't go to see me, huh!" Xue Ru was disappointed and a little angry.

"Hehe, Xiaoxue, you misunderstood us!" Han Xiao took Xue Ru's hands and said.

"Misunderstanding?" Xue Ru's eyes were curious, wanting to know the reason.

"Well, in fact, Long Yi and I were hiding from a person just now, so I came here to enjoy the plum blossoms." Han Xiao explained to Xueru.

"Hiding from someone? Who is it? Xueru asked.

"It's Xia Zili, she saw me and Long Yi practicing swords, so she came over and pulled Long Yi to compete, Long Yi didn't want to compete with her, so we came here." Han Xiao looked at Long Yi, then turned to Xue Ru and said.

"Oh, okay, that Xia Zili is really pestering, by the way, Sister Xiao'er, Brother Long Yi, I'm here to bring you delicious food this time, give, this is the fruit that I and the other senior brothers inadvertently picked, it's very sweet." Xue Ru said as she took out a few red, round fruits from her pocket.

"Wow, that's sweet! Thank you! Light snow. Han Xiao took a bite of the fruit given by Xueru, which was sweet.

"If you like it, then I'll go first! I couldn't be out for long. After speaking, Xue Ru waved to Han Xiao and Long Yi and left.

"Well, be careful, bye-bye." Han Xiao and Long Yi also waved their hands to Xue Ru.

A month later, the head of the sect, Nangong Ling, summoned the four immortals and the disciples under their respective sects to gather in the main hall and looked at all the disciples

I've felt a lot more mature this month.

"I called you here today because I have something to say." Nangong Ling stood in front of all the four immortals and all the disciples and said, still wearing a mask.

"Gong Ling, what is it that is serious enough to call all four of us?" Long Yin Shangxian stepped forward and said.

"Actually, there is a disciple who has been investigating outside for a long time, his name is Lin Song, today he flew a pigeon to pass a book to me, saying that a place called Miao You Town is very strange, there seems to be a monster at work, one night, he accidentally saw a man, but the nose is not a human nose, and the mouth is not like a human mouth, because it is very dark, the specific is not clear, plus his manpower is not enough, there is no way to investigate further, That's why I called you here to select a Shangxian and five new disciples with better martial arts from among you to go to Miao You Town to investigate and solve this matter. Nangong Ling said with a serious expression.

"I see, when it comes to subduing demons and eliminating demons, among the four of us, only Yi Cheng Shangxian is the most powerful." Muzi Shangxian was still so quiet, and said slowly and rationally.

"Well, I agree with that." Long Yin Shangxian nodded and said.

"Hehe, I don't have an opinion." Nangong Ying smiled and said.

"Well, I said you were too modest!" Yi Shangxian said with a long sigh.

"Haha, how is it possible, the last thing the three of us can do is be humble!" Long Yin Shangxian laughed, and Nangong Ying Shangxian and Muzi Shangxian also laughed secretly beside them.

"Well, it's just you, the next thing is to choose five new disciples with the best martial arts, what do you think?" Nangong Ling looked at Yi Cheng Shangxian and said.

"The best disciple in martial arts, I think we should all have a candidate in our hearts!" Muzi Shangxian looked at Long Yin Shangxian, Nangong Ying Shangxian and Yi Shangxian, and the four Shangxian looked at each other.

"Who are they?" Nangong Ling looked at the four immortals and asked.

"They are, Long Yi, Yang Hanxiao, Yu Xueru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili, these five people's martial arts are undoubtedly the strongest among all the disciples." The Dragon Yin Immortal faced all the disciples, and the person who called out the name walked in front of the Dragon Yin Immortal.

"Well, the skills of these five people are really good, okay, Long Yi, Yang Hanxiao, Yu Xueru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili, the five of you and Yi Cheng Shangxian went to Miaoyou Town together to meet Lin Song." Nangong Ling walked in front of the five people, and then turned his gaze to Yi Cheng Shangxian.

"Yes!" Long Yi, Yang Hanxiao, Yu Xueru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and Yi Shangxian replied at the same time.

"Okay, you guys go down first, pack your luggage today, and you will set off for Miaoyou Town early in the morning." After Nangong Ling finished speaking, he left.

"Dragon Prince.." Xia Zili walked towards Long Yi, and just as she wanted to say something, Long Yi turned around and ignored her, and walked to Han Xiao and Xue Ru on the other side.

"Xiao'er, Xiaoxue, get up early on a cloudy day! Don't sleep like a pig! Hehe! Long Yi walked up to Han Xiao and Xue Ru and said, scraping Han Xiao's nose with his hand.

"Brother Long Yi, why do you say that about us! Hum! Xue Ru grimaced at Long Yi angrily, pulled Han Xiao up and walked out, "Sister Xiao'er, let's go, don't pay attention to Brother Long Yi, he is too bad, he knows how to bully me." ”

"Hehe, Xiaoxue, Long Yi is joking with you, do you really take his words seriously?" Han Xiao smiled as he walked.

"Hehe, okay, Xiaoxue, don't be angry, I'm joking with you, after all, I haven't seen each other for more than ten days! I'm relieved to see you so energetic! Hehe! Long Yi caught up with Han Xiao and Xue Ru, grabbed Xue Ru's arm, and stopped to explain to Xue Ru.

Han Xiao, Xue Ru and Long Yi were noisy no matter what time it was, and they couldn't be quiet for a moment, and after a while, they all went back to pack their luggage, and the three of them could only be quiet after they were separated.

The autumn wind is swaying, the night is falling, I always feel that the wind tonight is gloomy, Nangong Ying Shangxian came to Yi Chengshangxian's room, as if he was looking for Yi Chengshangxian to discuss something.

"Yi Cheng Shangxian, there won't be any problem for Han Xiao to go to Miaoyou Town with you this time, right?" Nangong Ying Shangxian and Yi Cheng Shangxian sat face to face.

"Hmm~~, there shouldn't be any problems, I'll take a good look at her, and if there's any problem, I'll give her a pill." Yi Cheng Shangxian stood up and turned his back to Nangong Ying Shangxian, and took two steps in the direction of the door.

"Well, that's good, I just think it's best not to let Han Xiao have any emergencies recently, it's not good for us." Nangong Ying also stood up and walked in the direction of the door.

"Well, I'm in my own hands, so you don't have to worry." Yi Cheng Shangxian turned to Nangong Ying Shangxian, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Well, be careful on the cloudy road!" After Nangong Ying finished speaking, he left Yi Shangxian's room.

After Yi Cheng Shangxian left in Nangong Ying, he looked at the round moon in the sky at the door, like a big jade plate, very beautiful, but the breath of this night was still annoying, and after a while, Yi Cheng Shangxian turned around and walked into the room with a gloomy smile, as if he had turned off the lights and rested, what would happen in the future? No one knows about this question.

In the morning, the weather is cloudy, quietly listen to the birds' calls, squeak, like singing, the melody is very beautiful, it is very comfortable to listen to, Long Yi, Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili are all gathered in Yi Yi Xian's An Yi Mountain, after the assembly, Yi Yi Shangxian took the five of them to fly to Miao You Town and Lin Song to meet Lin Song.

"Auntie, may I ask, do you know if something happened in the town in front of you?" Early in the morning, Lin Song couldn't inquire in Miaoyou Town, so he went to the next town "Fushui Town" to inquire.

"I don't know." The eldest lady shook her head and said, as if she was running away from the question, her expression was scared by the question.

"Grandpa, may I ask, do you know what happened in Miaoyou Town in front of you?" Lin Song stopped the old man who thought he was gray-haired and asked.

"I don't know, I don't know." When the old man heard the words Miao Youzhen, he left in a panic and on crutches.

"Alas, there is still nothing to be found today!" Lin Song sighed and muttered to himself, walked into a teahouse and sat down to drink tea.

Soon after, Yi Cheng Shangxian led Long Yi, Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili to Fushui Town to meet Lin Song, Lin Song took Yi Cheng Shangxian and the five disciples to the inn to stay, Lin Song and told them all the things they had found, and also discussed the next step.

"Long Yi, when it gets dark, you can go to Miaoyou Town with me to have a look, Lin Song, you will show us the way." After Yi Shangxian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

"Yes." Long Yi replied with Lin Song.

"It's easy to be an immortal, what about us? What needs to be done? Suddenly, Xue Ru stepped forward and asked Yi Shangxian.

"Han Xiao, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili, and you Xueru, the four of you will go to this Fushui Town in one night to take a look around and see if there is anything special." Yi Chengshang Immortal stood up and faced Han Xiao, Zhou Rou, and Xia Zili, and Xue Ru said.

"Yes." Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili replied at the same time.

"Okay, let's all go back to our respective rooms and rest for a while, and then split up." After Yi Shangxian finished speaking, he sat down again.

"Hmm." Everyone spoke in unison, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The night gradually darkened, Yi Shangxian, Long Yi, Lin Song, Han Xiao, Xueru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili all changed into black clothes, covered their faces, Yi Shangxian, Long Yi and Lin Song went all the way to Miaoyou Town to investigate, Han Xiao, Xueru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili investigated in Fushui Town, tonight's Fushui Town is dark, every household is closed, the doors and windows are closed tightly, the lights in the houses are turned off, the streets of Fushui Town are pitch black, and there is a strange atmosphere everywhere.

The situation in Miaoyou Town seems to be a bit complicated, the streets in Miaoyou Town are the opposite of the situation in Fushui Town, and the night in Miaoyou Town is bright and noisy.

"Yi is an immortal, this is Miao You Town." Lin Song pointed to the place where there was a light in front of him and said.

"Well, I can't see the figure here at all, let's go a little further ahead." Yi Cheng Shangxian's footsteps moved forward gently, and suddenly stopped, Long Yi and Lin Song also stopped, they saw at the same time, saw people walking back and forth on the street, there were human hands, human feet, human heads, human ears, human eyes, only the mouth and nose were not human, the nose was a pig's nose, the mouth was a rabbit's mouth, Long Yi and Lin Song couldn't figure out what was going on, even Yi Yi Shangxian couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Long Yi, Lin Song, let's go back for the time being and then think about it in the long run." Yi looked at the monsters on the street and turned away.

"Yes." Long Yi and Lin Song replied at the same time.

Long Yi, Lin Song and Yi Shangxian all returned to the inn in Fushui Town, but Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili had not yet returned, and they were still checking around outside.

"Sister Xiao'er, why is this family closed? And it didn't take long after dark, shouldn't it be lively! Xue Ru looked at Han Xiao who was looking around and said.

"This breath is really annoying, eerie, and creepy!" Xia Zili hugged her arms and trembled.

"Well, this night does give people an eerie feeling, the people in the town seem to be afraid of something, and they are guarding against something, is it related to the Miaoyou Town next door?" Han Xiao said as he walked.

"Possibly! We can't find anything out of this, so let's go back to the inn first! Report the matter to Yi Cheng Shangxian and see how Yi Cheng Shangxian decides. Zhou Rou suddenly stopped and said to Han Xiao, Xue Ru and Xia Zili.

"Well, let's go!" After Han Xiao finished speaking, the four of them went back to the inn.

Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili returned to the inn, and when they returned to the room, Yi Shangxian, Long Yi and Lin Song were already waiting for them in the room.

"How's your guys investigating?" Yi Shangxian asked while sitting on a chair and drinking tea.

"Back to Yi Shangxian, we went to more than a dozen streets to check, but every house was closed, the doors and windows were closed tightly, even the lights were turned off, and the night in Fushui Town gave people a gloomy and weird feeling." Han Xiao stepped forward, looked at Yi Shangxian and said.

"Well, I've already understood the general situation, now you all go back to your room to rest, what to do, I'll tell you on a cloudy day." Yi Shangxian put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.
