Volume 2 The Reader 28 Transfer the mission and go down the mountain
Many of the brothers and sisters have left the academy.
"Senior Brother Qu, take care all the way. Zhuang You said sincerely, still remembering the scene when Qu Yuan took him to the hospital three years ago, and he was also the first person he knew in the academy.
Qu Yuan patted Zhuang You on the shoulder and said, "Senior Brother Zhuang, when you come out later, you can consider the Heavenly Cardinal Court, maybe we can still do things together." ”
The academy has cultivated a lot of people, these people are talents needed by various forces, and Qu Yuan obviously chose the Heavenly Privy Academy, wanting to gain a foothold in the Great Qin Temple, the Heavenly Privy Yuan is an unavoidable behemoth.
Zhuang You didn't speak, but his face didn't change, he changed the topic and chatted with Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan grabbed the nameplate, patted his head, and said hurriedly: "I forgot about this!"
"What's wrong?"
"I have a task to complete here. ”
Speaking of which, Zhuang You has not done a single task when he entered the academy, and the credits on weekdays are all provided by the room, and now he can already receive the task, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but itch, he said: "Senior brother, why don't I help you complete it." ”
Qu Yuan nodded helplessly, "I have to trouble you, I have to report to the Heavenly Council now, I really can't get out, and this task is ......urgent."
Saying goodbye to Qu Yuan, Zhuang You picked up the nameplate, and when he was really angry, he saw the task that Senior Brother Qu received, which turned out to be a thirty-point, big task!
After understanding the beginning and end of the task, Zhuang You went to Mr. Qi's wooden house, and saw Mr. Qi lying on a rattan chair under the tree to cool down, chewing on Zhuang You's filial piety in his mouth.
After telling Mr. about the task, Qi Donglai waved his hand, "Go, go, go." ”
Then go to Tianmen Peak to say goodbye to Mr. Lu, Lu Jiyi was in class, and saw a group of teenagers grinning with ebony sticks, Zhuang You said goodbye to Mr. Lu from a distance.
said goodbye to Han Xiaoguo, Yuan Yuanyuan and others, and when he couldn't find Tuoba Hao, he had to leave a note in the schoolhouse, Zhuang You was alone and went down the mountain.
Descending the mountain for the first time in three years, Zhuang You was quite excited, but soon calmed down, the scenery along the way changed, the sun was very poisonous, but Zhuang You didn't care much.
Walking out of the Changliu Mountain Range and stepping on a loess avenue, Zhuang You left the academy, and the Three Realms Dacheng, which had not changed on his body, was a little loose.
Mr. Lu gave himself three sword qi as a test, and at the same time he also sent a creation to himself, for many days, Zhuang You pondered Mr. sword qi day and night, swordsmanship has made considerable progress, and at the same time, the realm has been slowly promoted, if you are not mistaken, you will be able to reach the whole body realm in less than a month.
Met a tea shop on the road, Zhuang You walked in, asked for a pot of tea, the guy on the tea quickly, the entrance, the tea is sour, but the victory is cool, Zhuang You drank freely, this tea is very similar to the herbal tea sold in the town before, a bowl of copper, in the hot summer, very comfortable.
put down the copper on the table, called the guy to ask for directions, and the guy smiled and said: "Master, I know this place, but it is far away from here, and it is estimated that it will take a month to walk......
Along the way, barren mountains and mountains, remote villages, bustling capitals, Zhuang You walked slowly, looking at the stars in the woods, begging for a glass of water in the village, meeting hospitable villagers do not have to sleep in the open, and even slaughtering a chicken to take some game to entertain, before leaving, it was not easy to let the other party accept the money, and the kind aunt took the money and said: "Son, give more miles!"
Zhuang You smiled and said, "Not much, it should be." He found that everyone called him Childe along the way, this title is new, he used to be called a little brother at most, but now he is actually a child, which is also interesting.
After staying in the study of Bailu Academy for three years, he has washed away the smell of loess, and he is a tall reader, with poetry and books in his belly, but Zhuang You did not feel how he was, and it was the help of the master that he could read by chance.
Zhuang You is not as excited as many years ago in the bustling capital, standing in the crowd, looking at the bustling, there is a sense of coolness, there is no time on the mountain, he is a little uncomfortable with this red dust.
walked like this, trekked through mountains and rivers, and along the way, I didn't meet the green forest hero in the novel, and finally, I came to my destination.
Linyuan City, a river outside the city flows slowly, has spread far away, Zhuang swam into the city, this city is not big, but there is still some prosperity, the street wine shop hooks the bar, shouting one after another, the air is filled with dust and all kinds of smells.
Without stopping, Zhuang You went straight to the north, and the task indicated that it was in the north of Linyuan City.
stopped halfway to ask a few people, but the people who were asked were all shocked, looking at Zhuang You with strange eyes, and fled in a hurry, Zhuang You frowned, so he had to look for it by himself, until the sun set, and finally stopped.
In front of him, a mansion is quite magnificent, but it is almost night, there is no movement in a huge mansion, and even the surrounding houses are quiet, as if no one lives, but fortunately, the lights are lit in the mansion, and Zhuang You stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Squeak" The door opened, and a cloudy eye appeared, "Who?"
"My name is Zhuang You, yes"
The door suddenly closed with a "bang", leaving Zhuang You speechless, knocking on the door again, his subordinates used some strength, and the sound spread far away in the street, empty and dull, and there were even lights out in a few houses.
The door opened again, this time it was an old face, Zhuang You's eyes widened, and he immediately calmed down, and said quickly: "Uncle, I am a student of Bailu Academy, I heard that something happened in the mansion, and I came here on purpose, is this the Lin Mansion?"
The old man looked at Zhuang You up and down a few times, muttered "so young", but opened the door, Zhuang You stepped over the threshold and entered, but the July day was cold all over the body, you know, Zhuang You has not invaded the cold and heat, this cold, unusual.
The mansion is very large, as soon as you enter the door, it is a courtyard, which is very in line with the courtyard pattern of the northern land of Daqin, different from the garden in the south, there are two trees on each side of the yard, and the branches are luxuriant, but you always feel weird, Zhuang You can't help but look at it twice. The water surface of the brown fish tank is full of fallen leaves, and the stone benches on the ground are scattered, and a layer of ash has fallen on them, and it seems that no one has cleaned them for a long time. On the opposite side is another room, the door plaque "wealth is extensive", four green screens reflect the afterglow of the sunset, the courtyard is generally faint afterglow, and the other half is deep.
Follow the old man through the yard, what catches his eye is a small lake, on which is located a long pavilion corridor that twists and turns, the old man holds a lantern in his hand, and takes Zhuang You through the corridor, Zhuang You noticed that most of the residual lotus in the lake is July. Raising his eyes, there is a small four-corner pavilion not far away, there is a person in the haze, the water surface is full of fog, I can't see it really, but I can vaguely see that it is a woman. Zhuang You didn't speak, and continued to walk with the old man, and the footsteps of the two echoed in the corridor, making it even more silent.
Turning left and entering a room, the old man called, "Master, here you go again." Zhuang You noticed the word "again", could it be that there were cultivators who came here before?
The door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out, rich and rich, dressed in gold-soled boots, with a slightly convex belly, and before he saw it, he knew that he was a rich businessman with a big belly, and the task also mentioned that the Lin family was a wealthy gentleman who started as a silk village.
But at a glance at this person's face, his cheeks were deeply sunken, two pieces of skin were drooping on his cheeks, his eye bags were drooping, his messy beard seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and his bloodshot eyes were full of despair, and the hope that ignited in his eyes after seeing Zhuang You made him a little popular, and he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Linpu, may I ask what the son is called?"
"Tour in Xiazhuang, from White Deer College. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a senior disciple of White Deer Academy, I think I went to worship the mountain back then. ”
Lin Pu hurriedly led Zhuang You into the house, "Lin Bo, pour tea." ”
As soon as you enter the house, several round Gaogeri are all porcelain antiquities, a few paintings on the wall are famous at a glance, the soft carpet on the ground is also from an exotic land, and then look at the table in the room, the pen holder with exquisite shape is all kinds of good pens, the inkstone carved with the four friends of Zhulan and plum chrysanthemum is also the end of the inkstone, and then look at the collection of books behind the table, neat but all for unpacking, it can be seen that the owner here is a guy who likes to write and ink but is flashy.
Thinking away, Zhuang You and Lin Pu chatted for a while, it can be seen that Lin Pu is suppressing his irritability and talking nonsense with Zhuang You, and Zhuang You will not break it, and he also bragged with Lin Pu all over the world, during which Lin Bo sent tea, Zhuang You thanked him, and in the tea room, Lin Pu said: "Childe, are you a cultivator?"
Finally ushered in the main topic, Zhuang You said: "I am practicing below. ”
"Then how many buildings do you go to the Earth Immortal?" Although the world is not full of cultivators, they still enter the world to practice, everyone knows about cultivation, but not everyone has a chance.
Zhuang You laughed a few times dryly, and said, "Uh, I am the Three Realms of Tongmai. "Come up to the local immortal, could it be that this mission requires this kind of Bai Yujing-level fierce man? No, it's a B-level mission."
Lin Pu laughed a few times, and the scene fell silent, Zhuang You knew that Lin Pu was disappointed, as gentle as he also roared in his heart, please the earth fairy is not full of cabbage, what is wrong with your family and the earth fairy, is there a thousand-year-old demon or a thousand-year-old ghost?
"Master Lin, do you want to tell me about the matter first, the mission said that your mansion is haunted, but I don't know the specific details, can you tell me in detail." ”
As soon as he heard the word "haunted", Lin Pu's eyebrows trembled, he looked left and right a few times in horror, and said in a low voice: "Childe, the voice is so loud, smaller, quieter." ”
Seeing that Lin Pu was so scared, Zhuang You also comforted: "Master Lin, I'm here, don't be afraid!"
As soon as the words fell, a scream pierced the night, and Lin Pu panicked: "It's Man'er~"
Here Zhuang You has already rushed out of the door, his feet do not touch the ground, and he goes straight to the screaming place, and the sound is from the previous water pavilion!
In a few breaths, Zhuang You has swept across the lake, such as a swallow landing, straight into the pavilion, a woman in white lying on the ground holding her head is crying, Zhuang You squatted down and said: "Girl~"
Just as she was about to reach out and hold the woman's shoulder, the woman holding her head turned her head, her face was blue, her hair was scattered, her eyes were all whites, and her neck was bruised, as if she was vomiting but couldn't vomit out of extreme pain, and before she could react, the woman spoke, full of madness: "Boy, I advise you not to do too much, leave the Lin Mansion as soon as possible, the things here are not for you to interfere in, life matters!"
The voice is a mixture of male and female timbre, mixed with metal friction, very weird, obviously, the ghost is like the title, and the ghost is possessed.
Zhuang You Ding Zi Science Taoist article, Bing Zike practiced sword with Mr. Lu, Ding Zike just accepted the task of Senior Brother Qu without learning anything from Mr. Lu, and he was a little at a loss at this moment.
The Taoist priest's talisman spell formation does not know anything, remembering the yin soul of the mountain, Zhuang You simply agitated his true qi, ready to cross into the woman's body, and tried to see if it was feasible.
The woman on the ground rushed to Zhuang You all of a sudden, and at the same time, an extremely cold breath permeated, Zhuang You's cold hair stood up, and her true qi was shocking, but the woman was soft, fell into Zhuang You's arms, and a ball of black gas floated outside the pavilion, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't react at all.
The yin spirits in Bishan are delirious and the realm is extremely low, but the ghosts outside are obviously difficult to deal with.
Holding the pale-faced woman, Zhuang You looked around, and after a while, hurried footsteps came from behind him, it was Lin Pu and Lin Bo carrying the lantern.
In the dark night, on the quiet lake, in the narrow pavilion, the candles in the cage flickered, reflecting on the pale faces of the two.
