Chapter 15: Reunion
Lu Yuan has experienced many changes, and he is no longer the childlike nature of the past. He met Gu Nanfeng's gaze and said coldly: "What requirements does the head of the sect have, I, Lu Yuan, will never give up!" ”
Gu Nanfeng said in a loud voice: "Okay! It's rare for you to have such filial piety. There is a mulberry village a hundred miles away from the west of my sect, and recently monsters have been particularly rampant, and my sect is now a little short of manpower. You go there and kill a monster and give me the demon pill. The antidote, naturally, will be given to you. ”
Go to Sangmu Village!?
When the disciples heard this, they were all shocked.
For some reason, a large number of demons have come to Sangmu Village recently, slaughtering all the villagers.
Xuantian Sect had also sent disciples to exterminate it several times, but those monsters were full of wisdom and were particularly cunning. When they saw the demon suppression team coming, they all hid their bodies and attacked unexpectedly, so the disciples suffered heavy casualties.
If you want to go to suppress demons, you usually go for a team of more than a dozen people, and there is absolutely no reason for one person to go.
The lowest level of the monsters there is nearly second-order, and there will even be third-order demons. This Lu Yuan's cultivation is clear at a glance, and he only has a first-order and two-star level. Such a test made it clear that Gu Nanfeng wanted to use demons to kill people.
Quite a few people have a playful smile on their lips. Anyway, they didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so they wanted to see what Lu Yuan would do.
"The monster in Sangmu Village is very powerful, and there are many casualties if we cultivate as a disciple who is higher than Lu Yuan, and if he goes now, he will be sent to death!" Mu Rong's face was gloomy.
Gu Nanfeng smiled: "It's not simple? If you're afraid of death, don't go. ”
Lu Yuan stood up, straightened his waist and arched his hand, "Thank you for this opportunity." ”
Crazy, this kid is crazy! Qiu Jizi said in his heart. Back then, when he was the second-order of Xuanli-Great Dao Master, he had been to Xuanze to practice, and there was no danger in Sangmu Village now, and he almost capsized in the gutter.
"Well, that's good. It's getting late today, so you can rest here all night and leave tomorrow morning. When you get back the demon pill, I will gather my disciples to give you the antidote in the Heavenly Meeting, and let you go in style! Gu Nanfeng said with a smile.
Lu Yuan laughed in his heart: It's for me to make another fool in the Heavenly Hall. He pretended to believe and said, "Good! The boss promises a thousand gold, and the kid will definitely get the demon pill! ”
……
The waning moon is slanting to the west, and the wind is as cold as a knife.
There are no lights in the rooms. Lu Yuan wanted to feel the moonlight quietly.
He still remembers where his bedroom was, and what happened that night......
After thinking about it for a while, when it came to the fourth watch, Lu Yuan pasted the concealment charm that his senior sister had given him before, slowly opened the window, and jumped out gently.
At this point in time, he made an appointment with Mu Rong before.
The small monitoring circle outside the door seemed to detect some noise, and it sent a wave of Xuanli to the window.
Mu Rong manipulated this magic circle during the day, and at this time, with the blessing of the concealment charm, coupled with the light and agile pace of his demon master, it was easy to avoid the detection of the magic circle.
He tiptoed and walked alone towards the Demon Tower.
The night insects chirp, and the mountain air is elegant.
Lu Yuan took a few big breaths of air, and felt the Xuan Qi in his body begin to flow rapidly.
Since he comprehended the "Zhengqing Heart Sutra", his ears and eyes have become extremely sharp, and he can clearly see distant things in the dark.
Walking to the periphery of the tower, Lu Yuan saw Mu Rong looking around at a glance.
He learned to make a worm call.
Mu Rong looked in the direction of Lu Yuan, nodded, and then walked towards a few patrol disciples on the side of the tower.
She said a few words to her disciples, and the patrol disciples all went in the other direction.
Lu Yuan quickly ran over: "I've been troublesome with my senior sister since I was a child, and I dislike myself." ”
"Silly boy, what stupid things to say. Let's hurry up, or the patrolman will come back. ”
The two walked quickly and quietly to the bottom of the tower.
In the night, only half of the Demon Suppression Tower was dilapidated. This tower used to have the majestic posture of standing up to the sky, and it was a forbidden place for big and small monsters to hear about it, but now it is like a twilight hero squatting lonely away from a corner, and the terrible fracture of the tower body seems to be silently complaining about the thunder of that night. Some bats build their nests in the decaying places, coming in and out, making them more and more desolate.
Lu Yuan didn't care to take a closer look, and walked to the outer corner of the north of the tower with Mu Rong.
A white tomb stood there alone.
Qing Xuanzi did not like extravagance during his lifetime, and his disciples built a simple tomb for him according to his usual habits. There are no fancy carvings in the whole tomb, only a line of vigorous characters engraved on the tombstone:
Therefore, the tomb of the ancestor head of the Qing Xuanzi.
When Lu Yuan saw the tombstone, he knelt down with a plop, tears welling up.
But he didn't dare to cry.
In Xuantian Sect, many good past events suddenly appeared in my mind like a river and a sea bursting its embankment. The care of the master will never be forgotten.
Lu Yuan plucked the soil as incense and cried quietly: "Master! Unfilial son Lu Yuan...... We've come to see you! You...... Are you okay over there? ”
Mu Rong immediately tapped his shoulder, signaling him to restrain his emotions and not make a sound.
However, she knew that Lu Yuan wanted to accompany the master alone at this time, so she stepped aside again and looked at the direction in which the patrol disciple left.
Master, Master, are you there?
Lu Yuan kept calling in his heart.
There was no response.
There is only a rustling evening breeze.
He was starting to get anxious. Will there be anything going on with the Master?
Lu Yuan continued to call, but still did not respond.
After a while, Mu Rong turned around and said softly, "Hurry up, they're back!" ”
Lu Yuan's heart sank, Shizun should have had an accident.
Just when his thoughts were in turmoil, a small firefly flew to Lu Yuan's Qiankun bag.
"Let's go!"
An old voice echoed in his head.
When Lu Yuan saw this firefly, he immediately reacted.
He gently put the worm into the Qiankun bag, and then quickly left the Demon Suppression Tower under the cover of Mu Rong.
Mu Rong sent Lu Yuan to a more secret place, held his hand and said, "Senior brother, it is extremely dangerous to subdue demons tomorrow, you must be careful." If you can't beat the monster, run away, your life is at stake. As for the antidote, we can still find another way, you know? ”
Lu Yuan nodded.
Mu Rong took out three talismans from the small Qiankun bag and handed them to Lu Yuan.
The talisman glowed faintly reddish. There are intelligible spells written on it, and a small red lotus is depicted.
"This is a primary-level mid-grade talisman, called the Red Lotus Talisman, it should be the highest-level talisman you can use at the moment, it can produce an explosion after being stimulated, and its power is equivalent to the full force of a first-level late-stage monk, and it is used to save your life at critical moments!"
Lu Yuan took it and couldn't help but recall the scene when he and his senior sister learned talismans before.
He clearly remembered that all magic weapons, talismans, pills, etc., were divided into six levels: primary, middle, high, wonderful, absolute, and immortal, and each level was divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The monk only needs to use less mystical power to activate the power of the talisman.
Mu Rong touched Lu Yuan's head, with a look of reluctance and worry.
"Senior sister, rest assured, Xiao Yuan is no longer the little guy who loved to cry before. Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den ahead, I will break through! ”
Mu Rong nodded, reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Yuan, and Miaoman's figure disappeared into the thick night.
Lu Yuan returned to the room, and after confirming the surrounding situation, he immediately jumped on the bed and hid in the quilt.
He carefully released the firefly from the bag, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was not a small worm.
It was a pale blue soul body that flickered and dimmed.
"Xiao Yuan, you're finally here." Qing Xuanzi's remnant soul said with relief.
