Chapter 90: Bamboo Island Leaves
In the past, Ah Tao was afraid of being ridiculed, so if she didn't understand the affairs, she insisted on not understanding if she didn't understand. After more than a year of experience, I gradually want to take the initiative in life.
"What's different about me?"
Yu Qingming stared at the back of Ah Tao's head for a full quarter of an hour before he spoke.
"When I first met you, I found that you had a demon mark in your body, which contained extremely mellow demonic energy, so I guessed that you were related to the group of dragons in the Demon Palace.
I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would go out and talk nonsense without knowing the seriousness. More than a year has passed, and I'm sure you know what that means. ”
Ah Tao nodded, "If my family is really a Demon Venerable, when he finds me or I find him in the future, I will definitely let them give you an official and a knight, what position are you in the Demon Palace now?"
Yu Qingming had this idea, but what he wanted was to be friends with Ah Tao, and now he directly said his position to show that he was helping Ah Tao to do business.
"I am known as the Four Gentlemen of the Demon Dao along with the other three, and I don't have a specific position in the Demon Palace, and they all listen to the orders of the palace master. ”
Beiju Luzhou is less people, more demon beasts, because their demon path is the most authentic, so the other three continents of the demon cultivators, all of Beiju Luzhou as a holy place, and because the demon road of Beiju Luzhou has been unified by the Demon Palace, so the four gentlemen of the Demon Palace are also known as the four gentlemen of the Demon Dao.
Ah Tao also heard the story of the Four Gentlemen of the Demon Dao from the mouths of other monks during this year.
The Four Gentlemen of the Demon Dao are indeed much more elegant than the Demon Cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect of Vientiane City.
Ah Tao thought for a while, "How about making you the head of the Four Gentlemen of the Demon Dao?"
"I don't care about these false names, what I want to do most is to ascend to immortality. ”
"Do you also want to ascend to become an immortal?" Ah Tao felt that Yu Qingming really had the courage, "If you really ascend to the Nine Heavens, aren't you afraid of being beaten down by a decent old immortal?" ”
Yu Qingming really didn't think about this, "I don't think the heavenly guests will care about the affairs of the earthly people!"
In the Linglong Nine Song Formation, Ah Tao said the conversation of the heads of the Bone Painting Sect that he had heard, "They know very well what is happening below, but they mentioned Si Ming, as if they can't directly meddle in our affairs." ”
Yu Qingming thought for a moment, "I heard that there are also true demons in the Nine Heavens, and if I ascend, I will definitely be able to find like-minded people." ”
There has always been the rustle of people stepping on the leaves behind the big stones, and Ah Tao and Yu Qingming ignored it before, but this time there was obviously someone behind Xiu Wei.
Yu Qingming resumed his disguise again, "I'll go first, if you find a traitor, tie a small white flower to the welcome pine at the foot of the mountain." ”
Ah Tao has never heard of such a traditional contact method, "Can't you use a voice note?"
"There are many monks in the Bone Painting Sect, and there are even Immortal Venerables hidden in the sea of clouds, after all, I am an outsider, and I can't stay here for a long time. ”
"Good"
Yu Qingming's figure flashed farther and farther away, and soon disappeared in Ah Tao's eyes.
Ah Tao looked around and found that the white steward who disturbed her and Yu Qingming was teaching Shuying to practice swords behind another big rock.
"The woman dances the sword very beautifully, you will learn this set of swordsmanship, and you will be an inner disciple in less than thirty years. ”
Shuying said coquettishly: "Thank you for the stewardship." ”
Ah Tao was not far away, watching how the white steward guided the swordsmanship of Shuying hand in hand, and her hands unconsciously gestured.
Ripples came down the mountain with a basket in his regular clothes, and saw Ah Tao hiding behind a tree and peeking at Shuying practicing swords.
"Ah Tao, you also want to learn swords, why don't you go over?"
"If you happen to come across it, take a serious look. "If she is driven away by the white steward after passing over, it will be embarrassing, and she doesn't have to learn this swordsmanship, there is no need to do this.
"Aren't you embarrassed?" Ripple pulled Ah Tao, "I am teaching Shuying's swordsmanship, and today is a trip home for something at home, so the white steward came to take a look." ”
"How can Senior Sister Ripple teach the Shadow Swordsmanship?"
"I found that Shuying always didn't know the essentials when cultivating, and she was someone who was praised by the housekeeper's uncle, so I wanted to take the initiative to help her. ”
"Senior sister, you are so nice. ”
"I am older than you, and I have several younger sisters at home, and you will get along with me day and night in the future, and I should take care of you more. ”
Ah Tao asked, "I have something I want to ask, don't be angry when I hear it." The senior sister in the other rooms in our courtyard said, "You are abandoned in the Bone Painting Sect, how can you still have a family?"
Ripple smiled slightly, "I was abandoned by my family when I was six years old.
The people of Fusuta saw that I was a single spirit root, and they were willing to buy me for my father ten spars. My mother didn't want me to go to those pickled places and abandoned me here overnight, and soon after I became a disciple of the Bone Painting School, I learned that my younger brother was bought to a demon cultivator, and later my father and mother gave birth to a younger sister, so in order to keep my sister from being sold, I often gave them those spars back. ”
"Why don't you just take your sisters elsewhere?"
"It's not that I haven't done this, but my father and mother have made trouble with the bone painting faction. The Bone Painting Sect asked the disciples to put the sect in front of the family, and my father and mother made such a fuss, and the senior brother almost asked me to get out of the Bone Painting School. ”
Ah Tao stroked Ripple's back, and after meeting Ripple, she felt that it was reasonable for her to say this, and Ripple's heart was as gentle and pure as her appearance.

Following
Ripple didn't make breakfast, but woke Tao up from bed.
"Someone died last night, because we didn't get back to the courtyard until dawn, and now we have to go to the Dharma Protector Hall to reply. ”
"Hmm"
Last night, Ah Tao learned the sword from Ripple for a while, but because he didn't deal with Shuying, he meditated alone.
After Ripple and Shuying finished practicing swords, she returned to Qingsu Courtyard with Ripple, and someone had been with her all the time, so Ah Tao didn't worry about things going to her at all.
But after arriving at the Dharma Protector Hall, Ah Tao saw the deceased, one of whom she knew how he died.
Uncle Protector pointed to one of the skins, "Zhang Chi has the demonic qi in his body, but the skin is not contaminated with demonic energy, someone cut him open and used his skin." How many of you are still wandering around in the middle of the night, do you see anything suspicious?"
"I haven't seen Senior Brother Zhang Chi all day last night. ”
"I didn't think about Senior Brother Zhang Chi either. ”
Tao also chimed in, "I haven't seen this person either." ”
After a while, Bai Sleeve Zhenren and Bai Ze Zhenren also came to the Dharma Protector Hall.
Uncle Protector and the two real people whispered a few words, and then let the others leave, leaving Ah Tao alone.
After the others left, there were only Ah Tao and the three seniors left, and Ah Tao was very insecure.
"Uncles, what do you mean by leaving me alone. ”
The white-sleeved real person lifted the white cloth covering the other corpse, "Green Silk is dead, and now no one knows the news except the four of us and the senior sister."
Green Silk's three elder brothers don't know, but this news can't be hidden for long, in order to avoid being punished by the owner of Bamboo Island, they will find someone to take responsibility for Green Silk's death. ”
Ah Tao pointed to herself, "Uncle Shi left me behind, do you want to say that they will find me responsible for the death of Lu Xuan?"
The white-sleeved real person nodded, "You and Yinyue have a conflict with them, you will have a competition with Green Silk in a day, it is easy to think of you, where did you go after you left the Sleeve True Courtyard yesterday?"
"I went to the library building, and then found a quiet place to read, and I also saw the white steward, Shuying, and Senior Sister Ripples, and I have been with Senior Sister Ripples ever since. ”
"Has anyone seen the day's trip?"
Ah Tao mentally calculated the time she and Yu Qingming stayed together, "I haven't met anyone else for a quarter of an hour to a quarter of an hour, and I was looking for a quiet place at that time. ”
After saying that, Ah Tao nervously looked at the real reaction of the white sleeves, it was quite strange for her to run to the hillside to read a book alone, and it was not quiet there.
The white-sleeved real person still wanted to ask in detail, but was interrupted by Bai Ze Zhenren, "Even if someone testifies to her, the people of Bamboo Island will only say that we are covering up our own disciples." In my opinion, the third brother and the maid will be directly detained, and they will be let out when the matter is clarified. ”
The three uncles discussed in a low voice without talking, and directly left Ah Tao aside.
In the end, Bai Ze Zhenren searched Lu Juan's body, and all the mustard seed bags were taken out by him.
Bai Ze Zhenren forcibly opened the mustard seed bag of green silk, and all kinds of treasures were piled up in half of the room.
"With so many resources, the island owner really loves this cheap daughter!"
The white-sleeved real person asked Ah Tao to find out the magic weapons and magic weapons in this pile of things, and Ah Tao found that Chun Leiqin was not among them after sorting it out.
"Uncle Shi, there are seven magic weapons in the mustard seed bag, two Dan furnaces, and no Spring Leiqin has been found. ”
"Got it, go back!"
"Yes"
After returning to Seongsowon
The senior sisters who were fighting in the courtyard all gathered around.
"Why did you leave you alone, what happened?"
"Just asked me where I was. Ah Tao said a few perfunctory words and returned to the house.
I wanted to meditate to calm my mind, but I didn't expect my mood to be more irritable.
"Are you alright?" asked Yinyue.
Ripple was reading a book at the table, and Ah Tao whispered to Yinyue: "Lu Wan is dead, I originally thought it was none of my business, but after listening to a few uncles, I also felt that if I couldn't find the murderer, her three brothers would definitely use me as a substitute for the dead ghost." ”
"Don't be afraid, this is the territory of the Bone Painting Sect, and they don't dare to do anything to you. I practiced a few Divine Pills and came out, you can take them and eat them!"
"I told you that I was in a much better mood. ”
"You have a good rest, I have to go to the Alchemy Hall to alchemy. ”
Ah Tao waved his hand to let the screen separate his bed from the outside, and then set up an enchantment, and began to cultivate "Falling Netherworld".
After more than a month on the boat, she had already cultivated "Falling Netherworld" to the second chapter, first sitting with her legs in a lotus flower, pinching Lao Gong with her middle finger, naturally putting her hands on her knees, and then silently recalling the content of the book.
The practice of the second chapter is much more difficult than the first chapter.
I don't know how long it took for the two qi of yin and yang to turn from both hands to the gate of life, and finally converge to the lower dantian.
The lotus flower of the dantian opened and closed one hundred and eight times, bursting out with white light, and Ah Tao successfully entered the meditation.
After entering the meditation, Ah Tao felt that she was isolated in another world, and in this space where she was only seen with the naked eye, there were many murderous intentions.
Finally countless hidden weapons came at her, she relied on her intuition to dodge wave after wave, she felt that her body was becoming more and more flexible, but her head was getting heavier and heavier, if someone pulled her back to the real world now, she would definitely die of a headache.
