Chapter 332: The Cause of the Disaster
Charlotte's spiritual perception has always been on the open, and at this moment she only felt bursts of yin qi rushing towards her face, constantly impacting the transparent protective wall she had set up outside her body, as if she could break through it at any time, injecting all the cold and bone-chilling breath into her body, destroying her weak body.
"Found it! This place must be the source of the yin qi. Lulu is worthy of being an ancient spirit animal, her perception of these visions is much sharper than mine, and she can also completely shield herself from the invasion of yin energy, and she will not be disturbed by it, if only these abilities could be distributed to me through the contract, but unfortunately I don't know anything about the art of the contract.
However, whether it is from my perception or Lulu's instructions, I can confirm that the specific location of the source seems to be deep underground, and now my spiritual power is shallow, and it is not enough to perform the Escape Technique, how can this be good?"
"The clue is underground, and I can't go and explore, this feeling of powerlessness has not been experienced in a long time. Charlotte sighed and muttered helplessly.
"The effect of the shield will soon be gone, I can't stay like this anymore, can today's operation only end here?
Charlotte's face suddenly changed at this time, as if she sensed something unusual, she showed a look of disbelief, and concentrated her consciousness again, allowing her spiritual power perception to penetrate the rich yin qi and find the familiar aura hidden behind the yin qi.
After a while, Charlotte's face looked a little gloomy, and she secretly thought: "There is actually a remnant of Master's breath here, although it is faint, but I will definitely not admit it." Fang Cai was unable to notice it because he had focused all his attention on the Yin Qi, but now he felt it more and more clearly.
This shows that Master must have been here before, what is her purpose? Does she have anything to do with the Yin Qi here? I hope that all the speculations in my mind are nonsense, otherwise we may have turned from master and apprentice to rivals in an instant, which is really cruel. ”
Charlotte had always thought that she knew her mentor very well, but at this moment, all her previous thoughts were overturned, which undoubtedly cast another layer of fog over the disaster in the village, and things seemed to become more confusing.
For Charlotte, the worst outcome is that her master's stay in the village has ulterior motives, and his actions will become the trigger for disaster in the future. If this is indeed the case, Charlotte's character will definitely turn against her master, and the past love will come to naught in an instant. It's embarrassing to think about that kind of situation.
Just as Charlotte was in a melancholy mood and couldn't extricate herself, she felt Lulu touch her body lightly, this touch made her wake up immediately, she knew that Lulu would not easily make physical contact with her, this action must prove that there was an emergency nearby.
Charlotte's first move was to look at Lulu, knowing that Lulu would give her direct instructions.
Sure enough, Lulu pointed her paw behind her, a movement that instantly startled Charlotte, who felt that an unknown danger was approaching her.
Charlotte immediately turned around and looked ahead, only to see a figure walking in this direction.
It was a beautiful woman with long blond hair, elegant temperament, beautiful appearance, a light blue satin dress was very elegant, and the whole person exuded unparalleled charm.
This woman looked like the daughter of a wealthy family in any way, and it seemed out of place in such a remote place that was inaccessible, and she seemed to have not been born to belong to this land.
The moment Charlotte saw this person, she exclaimed, "Master, why did you come here?"
It turned out that this beauty was Charlotte's master, the mysterious woman who stayed in this small village for her, and her name was Fett, a word that represented fate.
Fit was also very shocked the moment he saw Charlotte, and asked rhetorically: "Xiao Xia, you don't want to rest at home in the middle of the night, what are you doing in such a wild place?"
Charlotte saw that the master did not answer her question directly, but took the lead in questioning herself, and she was slightly unhappy in her heart, but because of the difference between master and apprentice, she did not dare to express her dissatisfaction to the master in person, so she had to respond with words.
So Charlotte pointed to Lulu beside her and whispered, "Master, I rescued this injured kitten by the woods in the north of the village today, and it seems to be homeless, so I decided to adopt it. I took it home, but when I got up at night, it was nowhere to be found, and I hurried out to look for it, but I found it in many places, but there was no sign of it, until I came here..."
However, Fett's sudden remarks interrupted Charlotte's "explanation" at this moment.
"Xiao Xia, you don't have to lie to me. Although you and I have only been a master and apprentice for one year, I already know your personality and habits quite well, and you will never speak in such a low tone. I really want to know the real purpose of your coming here, can you tell the teacher?" said Fett in a serious tone.
"Master... I..."
Charlotte was speechless for a while, after all, the truth was too complicated, and it was impossible to explain it for a while, even if she didn't have any problems with Fett, it was impossible for her to explain the matter like this.
"Even if I tell Master the truth, she won't believe it, how should I respond now?" Charlotte was a little confused, not knowing how to continue the conversation.
At this time, Fett saw Charlotte hesitant, but he didn't continue to ask, but waved his right hand lightly, laying a transparent spiritual barrier around Charlotte's body.
"The yin qi here is too heavy, your body can't resist it, let's leave here for the time being, and then return to the village to think about it in the long run. Fett said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Master, let's go. ”
Although Charlotte is very concerned about the root of the yin qi underground, but now that she is a shallow cultivator, she has nothing to do, and it is useless to continue to stay here, it is better to try to get some information she needs from the master's mouth.
Charlotte is now very concerned about Fett's identity, thinking that she must know the source of the yin qi, and it would be nice to know the cause of this disaster from her mouth. However, all this is premised on the fact that Fett is not the culprit behind the destruction of the village, and is willing to explain the truth to Charlotte.
"If Master had been very knowledgeable about the spread of Yin Qi, I might not have to go to that ghost place again
。 Once you know the causes of the village's suffering, it will be much easier. ”
Charlotte was walking side by side with her master at the moment, while Lulu the black cat was following her.
Charlotte was surprised by Master's sudden appearance, so she didn't take a closer look at Fett's current state. But the moment Charlotte focused her attention on Fett, she felt even more shocked.
I saw that Fett's face was now pale, almost bloodless, his face was very haggard, and his breath was much more rapid than usual, as if he had just had a serious illness.
Moreover, Charlotte also noticed that the master kept looking back to look at Lulu, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was worried about something, and it seemed that this worry was probably related to Lulu.
Charlotte's mind suddenly had many unknown doubts.
"Wait a minute, what should I ask Master? Now I should sort out my doubts. For one, Master should have noticed the spiritual shield around my body just now, but he wasn't surprised. I remember very well that I learned many of the spells from the 'Elemental Secret Codex' she left behind, and at this time she had not yet passed on this spiritual power protection method to me, but she did not say anything about it.
Second, Master seems to have suffered serious internal injuries, the exact cause of which is unknown, and she should not have left the village in the last few days.
Third, she always observes Lulu repeatedly, and seems to have learned Lulu's identity, but what does that worried look mean?
Finally, why did her aura merge with yin, and did she have any plans there?"
There are many mysteries, each of which needs to be explained, and for the survival of the village, she must get to the bottom of it, even if it is her master.
Respect does not mean complete trust, and Charlotte has no time to take into account Master's position in the face of such a major right and wrong, she must ensure that all suspicions are detected in advance, and any complex clues become transparent and do not leave any hidden dangers.
"Heaven, please, don't make Master my enemy. ”
Charlotte prayed to the heavens again, because she knew the strength of her master, and that perfect cultivation was difficult to compare with even a hundred years later, and fighting against her was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, which was obviously the last thing Charlotte wanted to encounter.
At this moment, Charlotte's thoughts were extremely clear, so she took the opportunity to open her mouth and said to Fett in a worried tone: "Master, your face seems to be very ugly, is it not feeling well?"
Fett shook his head lightly and replied casually, "Thank you Xiao Xia for your concern, I'm fine." The slight disappearance may be because I have been obsessed with cultivating spells for the past few days and have not had a good rest. After two days of adjustment, I think it will be restored. ”
If Charlotte had been in the past, she would have believed what her master said, but now she is not as simple as before.
How could Charlotte be convinced of such a flawed lie, but she didn't want to debunk it now, so she chimed in: "I see, then Master should rest a little earlier, and we can talk again tomorrow." ”
"Xiao Xia, do you think Master is lying to you?"
