Chapter 5: Shadows
"Have you heard? Today, Senior Brother Shen went to exorcise the demon, and that person named Bai Weige actually missed Senior Brother Shen's sword, and let the demon run away like that! I heard that Senior Brother Shen's nose was crooked!"
"What a fool, I don't have the ability to drag others back, if I want to say that this kind of person shouldn't stay in the Red Sky Sect!"
"But that Bai Weige entered the sect because he killed a demon with particularly strong demon power, and for this, the five doors robbed him at the beginning, but he broke his head. β
"Where did you kill the demon for what, I think it was those female cultivators in the sect who saw that he looked like a dog, and they were reluctant to let him go. β
"I think it's the same, isn't he just a little more pleasing to women, in terms of ability, who is better than him. β
"Hahahahaha-"
The content of their conversation all reached the ears of Nangong Demon.
She didn't know anything else, but Bai Weige was indeed the best in the world, and she couldn't find fault at all.
I thought that she could stare at Bai Weige's face for a whole day.
"He pretends to be tall all day long, but the female cultivators in the sect still eat his set. β
"The day after tomorrow is the Demon Hunting Conference, should we take the opportunity to teach him a good lesson?"
"Okay, let him know which green onion he is, and dare to provoke our Senior Brother Shen!"
"Two girls, this is your pear blossom tea!" Xiao Er brought the tea.
Lihua Tea ...... Nangong Demon was stunned.
It's really not appropriate to go out today, Bai Weige's shadow is everywhere!
"But it's because he's got a few good results. β
"That's not bad, it's just luck, you can't go far without real skills, and in the end it's not as rotten as a lump of mud. β
"Speaking of this, I think of a person, the legendary woman of the Xue family seventy years ago, was called a once-in-a-millennium genius back then, hey! The Xue family treasures her, holding it in her hand for fear of falling, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, then Sect Master Xue has to show off wherever she goes...... Tut-tut, in the end, it wasn't that he violated the ban and colluded with the demon clan to betray the Xuanmen, and ended up with such a fate. β
"It's not that she did it herself, thinking that she was a genius and that she was amazing, ignoring the ban, and in the end she lost her life, and she didn't even have a grave, and it became a negative example of educating future generations. β
"I think it's a pity, if she hadn't violated the ban, she would have been a famous ancestor-level figure now, maybe she could become an immortal!"
Pei Ruoli held Nangong Demon's hand and looked worried: "Demon Sister......
Nangong Demon smiled: "I'm fine, things have passed for so long, and I won't be sad because of their words." β
Pei Ruoxi said angrily: "It's too much, is this the cultivation of the people of the Red Heaven Sect?"
Back in the snow house, Nangong Demon lay on the table staring at the mask in a daze.
Pei Ruoxi walked past her, almost stepped on something, picked it up and looked at it, and asked, "Is this your thing, Sister Demon Demon?"
Nangong Demon raised her eyes, wasn't that the registration post for the demon hunting conference given to her by the owner of the demon collection shop?
"It's mine!" Nangong Demon went to get it, but Pei Ruoli hid it behind him and didn't get it.
Nangong Demon said: "What's wrong?"
Pei Ruoxi said: "This is the registration post for the Demon Hunting Conference. β
Nangong Demon pretended to be stupid and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Pei Ruoxi said solemnly: "Demon sister, don't forget who almost killed you in the first place, you can't get close to those people anymore, and Master will not agree to you to participate in any demon hunting conference!"
Nangong Demon said: "I haven't forgotten, how could I forget...... The registration post was given to me by the owner of the demon collection shop, and he was out of kindness, thinking that I couldn't make much money by hunting demons and selling demons, so he suggested that I go to the hunting conference to improve my worth. I couldn't refuse the boss, so I accepted it first. β
Pei Ruoxi was skeptical: "Is this really the case?"
Nangong Demon hurriedly said: "It's true! I was beaten so badly back then, hanging on the pillar for the children of the major families to watch, I will never forget that feeling for several lifetimes, how could I have anything to do with their descendants again." You see my name hasn't been signed yet, don't worry, I won't participate!"
On the second day, Nangong Demon took the registration sticker and quietly slipped out while Pei Ruoxi hadn't woken up yet.
When the time came, the people of the Red Sky Sect set up a stall, and the Nangong Demon put the registration on the table and patted it: "I want to sign up!"
The monk glanced at her and flipped through the registration post: "Nangong Demon...... The conditions are met!"
Another monk threw her an iron sign: "Put it away, this is the pass card to enter the conference tomorrow, tomorrow morning, gather at the Broken Sky Mountain!"
"I remember, it's hard work!" Nangong Demon put away the sign and shook off the stall selling steamed buns.
At first, she was hesitant, just like Pei Ruoli said, the major families were indiscriminate, and they condemned her without listening to her justification, and finally survived, so they should stay away from their descendants.
And she didn't need to rely on a demon hunting conference to improve her ranking, as long as she wanted to, she could do it at any time, let alone join the Red Sky Sect.
She decided to sign up last night, and the reason why she made up her mind was because of one person-Bai Weige.
First of all, she wanted to know why Bai Weige was a demon in the Red Sky Sect. Secondly, the monks in the teahouse last night said that they wanted to teach Bai Weige a lesson, she hadn't seen Bai Weige embarrassed yet, and she wanted to see and have fun.
As for the fact that she didn't keep her promise and sneaked out...... Just said that he watched Pei Ruoxi cook hard, and came out to buy some steamed buns to eat. By tomorrow, it would be useless to say anything.
If Master comes back and gets angry, then just bow his head obediently and admit his mistakes, and just fool around.
On the day of the demon hunting conference, the empty mountain was shattered, and the time was shining.
In front of the mountain gate, it was very noisy and lively, and the Nangong Demon estimated that there were hundreds of people who came to participate in the demon hunting conference. After the collapse of various families more than 60 years ago, those children and protΓ©gΓ©s were scattered everywhere, retreating from the world or giving up cultivation to live the life of ordinary people.
Ten years ago, the Red Heaven Patriarch founded the Red Heaven Sect, and it took seven years for a prosperous era of cultivation that could be compared with seventy years ago, and now those monks who have escaped from the world and cultivated have entered the world, squeezing their heads to enter the Red Heaven Sect. Entering the Red Heaven Sect is a "guarantee" for them in this life, which is equivalent to having a "name", and there is a feeling of "carp jumping over the dragon gate".
In front of these "nameless, no division" young generation of monks, stood the monks of the five heavenly gates of the Red Heaven Sect, who were responsible for supervising this demon hunting conference.
Nangong Demon put on the mask again, she didn't want to recognize Bai Weige so quickly. She craned her neck in the crowd to look, but she didn't find Bai Weige.
As the monks in the teahouse said, Bai Weige's face was like a crown of jade, graceful, fresh and handsome, elegant and profound, and when he went to that station, he attracted everyone's attention, how could there be anyone else. These monks of the Red Heaven Sect must not have wanted Bai Weige to steal the limelight, so they hid him in the mountains.
Standing in the middle of the five Heavenly Gates was a disciple of the Jiatianmen wearing a golden school uniform, and the one headed by him walked to the front, glanced down, and said, "I am Cao Zhongyi from the Jiatianmen, and I am responsible for supervising today's demon hunting conference. I know that you are all young monks with beautiful visions, who have been cultivating hard since you were a child, looking forward to the day when you can kill a hundred ghosts and demons. More than sixty years ago, Xuanmen went through a very dark period......"
