I blush... So Senior Martial Brother Duanmu also heard about my matter. Looks like Xiao Yu wasn't lying when she said that I had recently made it onto the Evergreen Sect's popular list …
However, I really want to get close to Senior Brother Duanmu, because he is handsome and his appearance suits my taste. Furthermore, Xiao Yu is also very cute. I want to know more about his character so I can gossip with Xiao Yu.
Duanmu Rong was more amiable towards me, not as cold as the rumors say. But perhaps it's because of Xuan Yue … Because they all belong to Yu Shui Tang, and have the friendship of schoolmates.
He asked me about some trivial matters regarding my training in the mountains, and even asked me who my current master is. The Evergreen Sect followed the tutorial system, and the instructor was the real master, responsible for the disciple's whole-hearted development; the disciples chose the five teachers, they were only responsible for the cultivation of magic. For example, although I am currently cultivating under the Cyan Wood Hall, Qing Ling is only one of my instructors while my real teacher is Xuan Yue. Thus, in terms of reputation, I can still be considered a direct disciple of Xuan Yue.
The reason why Duanmu Rong asked was because Xuan Yue's condition was special … He has ascended to the Immortal Realm, so no matter if it is cultivation or cultivation, I am currently guided by Qing Ling. Many people mistook me for Qing Ling's disciple.
I replied, "Even though Master has ascended to the Immortal Realm, with Martial Uncle Qingling personally teaching me, he took care of me a lot, so I'm still used to it."
Duanmu Rong nodded and then asked about Xuan Yue's ascension to the Immortal Realm. It was obvious that he was very concerned about her. I told him about my Master's ascension. Duanmu Rong was slightly moved by what I said. "He really used the Great Art of Celestial Immortal Soul Dispersal …"
With that, he revealed a look of admiration.
I have honor. However, thinking about how Master went through the tribulation because of me, and how he flew into the Immortal Realm for almost a year without any news, I couldn't help but feel sad. Senior Martial Brother Duanmu comforted me, then he looked at the bamboo basket on my back and pointed out, "When I came over from the front, I saw a particularly lush lemon grass at the low point in the river. You should hurry and harvest it; you better be careful not to fall into the water. "Also, we are now at the Sacred Pagoda's barrier. Ordinary disciples are not allowed to get close to it for no reason. Don't go any further."
I curiously asked, "Then what kind of demons are locked up in the tower? Why are our security so tight?"
Duanmu Rong said, "The Tower of Saints has many demons and many types. This is the result of our Evergreen Sect's Demon Slaying Masters slaying demons in all over the world for hundreds of years. Most of the demons had an immortal body, so because they couldn't be eliminated quickly and completely, they could only stay in the pagoda for the time being and use pure energy to slowly purify the demonic energy. You just started to practice your magic techniques, so your foundation is not stable yet. Stay far away from the tower as much as possible, otherwise you will be affected by the evil Qi. "
I asked, "Then what is Senior Brother Duanmu planning to do at the side of the pagoda?"
Duanmu Rong said, "It's my turn today. I'm here to change shifts."
After Senior Martial Brother Duanmu finished speaking, he floated in the direction of the pagoda. I saw the barrier lightly flash for a moment, as if he had said a spell and opened a small opening in the barrier.
Watching Senior Martial Brother Duanmu leave, I listened to him and went to the river front to pick up some lemongrass. After walking forward for about two miles, he finally saw the piece of low-lying pig grass that he had mentioned. In addition, it quickly filled up the bamboo basket.
After completing his mission, he happily hummed as he walked back. Suddenly, a mournful scream was heard from the direction of the Tower of Holy Light, "Help …"
That sound was extremely mournful, and the tip of my ear was exceptionally clear. I couldn't help but be shocked!
Following the sound, I saw a horrifying scene by the river... At some point, a transparent, square barrier had appeared in front of them. Within the barrier, snowflakes were drifting about like the winter in the Northern Kingdom. As for the river that was slowly flowing with a clear green color, a layer of ice had formed for some reason! The ice layer was thick, with a human-shaped statue erected in the middle. And the person who was frozen into an ice statue was actually Qin Juan and that handsome senior brother! The two of them hugged each other with a terrified expression, as if they had seen something especially terrifying. Their protruding eyeballs and distorted azure-white faces froze within the transparent giant block of ice just like that …
"What happened? What happened to them?! "
Surprised, I asked another senior brother beside me. That senior brother was with Qin Juan and the rest before. At that time, he was still holding a sickle in his hand. He was here to help Qin Juan weed the pigs.
At this moment, he was paralyzed outside the barrier. His face was pale, and the battle between the two seemed to have caused him to fall into some sort of frenzy.
"Monster, a monster has escaped the holy pagoda …"
That senior brother shrieked in panic and became a little unconscious. I stepped forward to support him, but the moment my hand touched his skin, I became even more terrified … His skin was bone-chilling cold!
Senior Brother was touched by me, but he abruptly flung me away as if he was made of chromium or iron!
He shrank back in fear on the ice, looking at me as if he had seen a ghost: "Spirit of the fox!" Don't come over, don't! Don't touch me! "
I was stunned, thinking, could it be that this senior brother was scared senseless?
I put down the bamboo basket and squatted down to say gently, "Don't be afraid, Senior. I am a white boy from the Qingmu Hall. We just met …"
That senior brother became more and more panicked and kept backing off, as if he was avoiding water and fierce beasts! Just as he was about to fall into the ice barrier, an icicle shot towards him from the side and hit his acupuncture points! He was suddenly unable to move. At the same time, a clear shout came from the front, "Be careful!"
It turned out that Senior-apprentice Brother Duanmu had brought several disciples with him as they rushed over from the direction of the Tower!
Seeing Senior Martial Brother Duanmu, I heaved a sigh of relief! There was a sudden change in the river, and I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. Senior Martial Brother Duanmu has quite a bit of status in the sect. With him taking charge, he should be able to relax a bit.
Senior Martial Brother Duanmu's figure flickered and arrived in the blink of an eye. He first dragged the disciple to a safe zone, then stood up to inspect the strange barrier.
Seeing the two people in the enchantment that had lost their lives, his expression became solemn.
"Report this to the Sect Leader immediately!"
A disciple agreed and Senior Martial Brother Duanmu comforted the frightened Senior Martial Brother.
That Senior Martial Brother finally calmed down. The first words he cried out to Senior Martial Brother Duanmu were, "Bai Shi has used a demonic technique to kill Senior Martial Sister Qin and Senior Martial Brother Yao!"
Ah?
The river froze and a barrier of ice sealed off the area. The heavy snow swirled around like a flower falling on a spring day.
Looking at the two of them frozen to death in the ice, the hairs on my body stood on end … The scene at the scene was extremely bizarre, and now that Qin Juan and her senior brother had suddenly died, someone had identified me as the murderer!
The surviving Senior Martial Brother finally calmed down and hugged Duanmu Rong's arm as if he saw his lifesaver. He continued to lament at them, "Just now, when I was working with Senior Martial Sister Qin and Senior Martial Brother Zhao on the pigweed, Bai Wuya suddenly sneak attacked us from behind! She created an ice seal and killed Senior Sister Qin! Senior brother Zhao was killed in order to protect Senior Sister … "
Everyone's expression changed slightly as they turned their heads to look at me. I had no choice but to put on an innocent look.
Perhaps my appearance was truly trustworthy, so someone asked the senior brother: "But the white man is our fellow disciple! Why did she sneak attack you? "
"I, I don't know either …" Could it be because of the duel yesterday? "Maybe she harbors a grudge against Senior Sister Qin …" The senior brother guessed.
"You …" I was immediately angered. "Don't slander me! I was two miles from here in the hollow! Besides, do you have any proof that I did it? I learned wood magic, so I can't even form an ice boundary! "
The senior brother's body shrank back, as if he was afraid of me, and he even shrank behind Duanmu Rong's back. Duanmu Rong patted his shoulder before he dared to continue. "Perhaps … maybe it was your master, Xuan Yue, that taught you … "Besides, you are a monster. Who doesn't know that the Green Wood Palace has extremely strong demonic powers …"
