28. Conflict
Lu Bowen sent a message to Du Yusheng: "Senior, we found a piece of black cloth in the place where the disciples of the sect fell, according to Uncle Xuanzhu's analysis, this incident should be done by the Demon Sect. ”
Du Yushang frowned, she didn't know about the Demon Sect, but Lu Bowen once said that the Demon Sect was not a thirst for killing, and for hundreds of years, two disciples of the Chongxian Sect had died at the hands of the Demon Sect, but this time four had died at a time, could it be that there was something wrong with the Demon Sect? If it was really the Demon Sect's doing, then how could she explain the demon beast breath she had sensed before?
"Don't draw conclusions too early, isn't it too hasty to be sure that it was the Demon Sect just based on a piece of cloth?"
Lu Bowen thought about the vast number of detective films he had seen, and then thought about the situation at the scene, and felt that what his predecessor said was very reasonable, but he searched for a long time and found nothing, and he didn't have much say in this temporary search team, plus he was trained when he mentioned demon beasts before, so he could only put his suspicions into his stomach, and it was not good to speak casually.
Since Xuanzhu Zhenren came to a conclusion and found the so-called clues, he naturally didn't stay for long, and hurried back to the sect to submit the results, Lu Bowen and Li Hai, the two disciples of the foundation building period who couldn't fly, could only go back on their own, anyway, it was in the jurisdiction of Chongxianmen, and it was not dangerous to go together.
If there is no flying magic weapon from Shilipo back to Chongxianmen, it will take seven or eight days to say the least, although Li Hai is only a disciple of the foundation building period, but he is different from Lu Bowen, he built the foundation more than ten years earlier than Lu Bowen, during this period he did many tasks in exchange for remuneration, and he had some chances, and his net worth was many times richer than Lu Bowen, so he did not need to save spirit stones, after Xuanzhu Zhenren left, he sacrificed the flying magic weapon and said: "Senior Brother Lu, let's go back to the sect to recover our lives." ”
What can Lu Bowen do, and he can't tell him, "I'm poor, I have to save the spirit stones", nor can he say "I'm not in a hurry to go back to the sect yet", so he had to take a look at the single-digit spirit stones in the storage bag, and said stubbornly: "Okay, Senior Brother Li." ”
Because of the flying magic weapon, the seven or eight days of travel were completed in one hour.
After the two returned to the sect, they each went to the affairs hall to submit tasks, and this time Lu Bowen handed over two tasks at a time, and the reward was dozens of low-grade spirit stones, which made him out of abject poverty.
He happily carried the spirit stone, planning all the way to replenish some equipment so that the next mission could be smoother. He had already decided to pay equal attention to cultivation and tasks, after all, only by constantly taking on tasks could he relieve his financial pressure and have the opportunity to meet opportunities.
However, his joy did not last long, and in front of the courtyard, he met Chen Ling'er who blocked the door.
Senior Sister Ling'er is still wearing a white disciple uniform, and her hair is tied into a bun on the top of her head, which looks crisp and crisp.
"I've seen Senior Sister Ling'er. Lu Bowen's tone was very polite, after the matter of Senior Sister Qingyun, he no longer had any hope for himself and Chen Ling'er, between life and a girl who had a good impression, of course he chose life.
Women are naturally keen, Lu Bowen is not as enthusiastic as she used to be to her, Chen Ling'er naturally noticed it immediately, she raised her eyebrows and wanted to lose her temper, but inexplicably felt that if she still lost her temper today, Lu Bowen probably wouldn't come to coax her again, so she took a breath, smiled on her face, and said softly: "Senior brother's trip will go smoothly?"
Lu Bowen nodded and responded: "Thank you Senior Sister Ling'er for your concern, it's going well." ”
"It's okay, I'll go with you on the next mission?" Chen Ling'er asked with a little shyness on her face.
Lu Bowen shook his head with a look of embarrassment and said: "The task of the foundation building period is different from that of the qi refining period, if you can't receive the same task, there is no point in being a peer. ”
Chen Ling'er glared: "Do you think my cultivation is low?"
Lu Bowen said helplessly: "Senior Sister Ling'er, I didn't say that, but we really can't take on the same task." ”
"You just think my cultivation is not as good as you!"
"I didn't. ”
"You are what you are!"
......
Du Yushang was lying in Lu Bowen's arm and watching the play with a smile, she already liked her current identity a little, and it was not too convenient to watch the excitement.
"Hey, young man, you are very ruthless, the last time you saw this little girl, your eyes were still shining, why are you so ruthless today?"
Lu Bowen said a little angrily: "Senior, don't laugh at me anymore, I only want to cultivate now, and I don't want to think about anything else." ”
"Tut-tut, sure enough, men are ruthless, you see that the little girls are about to cry. Du Yushang didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he was still secretly poking at the arch fire.
Lu Bowenqi said: "Why do seniors say that, aren't you also a man?"
Du Yushang hurriedly remedied: "So, I am also ruthless, I will turn my face now." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her claws and scratched them twice, scratching Lu Bowen's sleeve into strips of rags, but there was a contract, and she couldn't hurt him.
Lu Bowen wanted to reach out and press her bird's head, but he didn't dare, so he had to say helplessly: "Senior, don't make trouble, I have a headache now!"
"Senior Sister Ling'er, you and I are sisters and brothers, how can you dislike it or not? Senior Sister Ling'er is the palm bead of the master, how can I be qualified to dislike the senior sister?" Lu Bowen directly spread out the words and said, long pain is better than short pain, he and Chen Ling'er have never explained it before. He used to have a good impression of her, so he always liked to talk to her, and there was a little ambiguity when he came and went, but before this ambiguity fermented, a Qingyun sister was inserted halfway.
Lu Bowen's words were not too tactful, Chen Ling'er immediately turned red, and she wanted to cry: "Are you blaming me for the matter of Senior Sister Qingyun?"
Why did you get involved with Senior Sister Qingyun again? Lu Bowen couldn't understand Chen Ling'er's train of thought at all: "What does it have to do with Senior Sister Qingyun? The deceased is gone, why involve her again." ”
"You see, you're blaming me for her death!"
???
I can only say it more clearly: "Senior Sister Ling'er, you and Senior Sister Qingyun are just the same as me, I can't talk about dislike or dislike, and I can't say who is to blame or not, Senior Sister has time to cultivate well, I came back from this mission, I have gained a little, and I have to retreat and practice, Senior Sister is leaving." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at Chen Linger's big tearful eyes, turned around and entered the courtyard to bolt the courtyard door, and returned to the practice room to lay out the formation, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, with a little annoyance on his face.
Du Yushang smiled: "That little girl is still crying outside the yard, do you really bear it?"
Lu Bowen stood up and wanted to go out, gritted his teeth and sat back down: "When you break the judgment, you will continue to suffer from it, since you have decided, you should not repeat it, otherwise you will harm others and yourself." ”
Du Yushang looked very sad when he saw him, so he stopped laughing at him, found a corner on the soft collapse and lay down quietly, and was taking out the elixir to prepare to gnaw, when suddenly a bell rang over the sect.
"Dang, dang, dang......" The bell rang six times in a row, representing all the disciples in the sect, and immediately went to the main hall to gather.
Lu Bowen's face changed, and he said: "The sect doesn't know what is going on, and it actually rings the bell to let all the disciples gather, do you want to go with me?" He is now very accustomed to Du Yusheng's existence, and he is willing to talk to her about big and small things, even if he is always beaten with blood.
Du Yushang thought about it, he had nothing to do anyway, and it was good to go and see the excitement of Chongxian Gate, so he said "go together".
Lu Bowen changed the disciple's uniform on his body with the sleeves that were rotten into rags, and said with some pain: "Senior, the disciple's uniform is very expensive, please be merciful to your seniors." ”
Du Yushang "cut" and said: "It's just a low-level disciple uniform, where is it expensive? The Gengjin I gave you is enough for you to change into a new low-level disciple uniform every day until you soar." After she finished speaking, she threw Lu Bowen a piece of goose egg-sized Gengjin, and said: "The long sword I refined for you should not be taken out in front of the same sect for the time being, I didn't pay attention at the time, the refining was too ruthless, you take this piece of Gengjin to exchange it with the sect for some fire crocodile skin, and I will refine a special disciple uniform for you when you go back." ”
Lu Bowen hugged Gengjin and didn't accept it, and explained: "Senior, I didn't mean to ask you to compensate......
"You have to have the courage to ask me to compensate, okay, don't be verbose, just take it for you, and hurry up to see the excitement. Du Yushang urged.
Lu Bowen was a little helpless: Senior, you said in front of my sect disciple to see the liveliness of my sect, is this really good?
Forget it, you're a thigh and can't afford to mess with.
Lu Bowen changed into his disciple clothes, picked up Du Yusheng, who wanted to see the excitement, and hurriedly went out, Senior Sister Ling'er had already left outside the courtyard gate. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards the main hall.
Chongxian Gate is built on the mountain, and the foot of the mountain is the outer gate area, including the outer gate disciple dormitory, the outer door affairs hall, the outer gate Yanwu Hall and other outer gate buildings. Further up is the inner gate area, the inner door disciple dormitory is at the bottom of the inner door area, the more the core of the building is higher, but the main hall is more special, because it is a common building for the inner door and the outer door, so it is located on the mountainside, not too far from the inner door disciple dormitory where Lu Bowen lives.
When Lu Bowen arrived at the main hall, most of the people had not yet arrived.
Du Yushang looked up, this hall is still the same as five hundred years ago, tall and empty, the dome of the carved beams and paintings is more than ten zhang high from the ground, and the ground is dozens of zhang square, and one or two thousand people will not feel crowded when they stand in.
The disciples who had already arrived gathered together in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, guessing that something big had happened that caused the bell to ring, and there were also disciples who were familiar with Lu Bowen who came to listen to the news, in the eyes of others, Lu Bowen was a disciple of Daojun after all, and the news must be more well-informed.
Of course, there were also disciples who didn't care about the major affairs of the sect, so they came up and asked, "Is this your spirit beast? Why is it so small? It doesn't look very powerful." ”
Lu Bowen could only reply.
