Chapter 109 Duchen Fairy
Chapter 109 Duchen Fairy
It was already dark when we returned to the small village.
Xu Tang was standing by the stone tablet at the entrance of the village waiting. Shen Qiao could feel his "keep away from strangers" attitude from a distance.
And in this village, there is also an obvious fresh atmosphere of the dead.
"Let's go." Seeing the two people coming back, he had no intention of explaining and just said these two words briefly.
Shen Qiao noticed that his aura had changed, and the demon pill must have been retrieved.
On the way back, no one spoke a word. In the silent night, the only sound was the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.
Shen Qiao was bored along the way and couldn't help yawning. Perhaps because he hadn't recovered yet, he felt a little drowsy.
"I didn't kill him." Xu Tang finally couldn't help but speak, "He was already at the end of his life, the demon pill just kept him alive."
This sentence seemed to have been brewing for a long time before it was uttered, so that the words sounded a little hoarse.
"We know." Wang You responded, not seeming surprised.
This apparent response of trust gave Xu Tang the courage to continue. Shen Qiao heard him take a deep breath, "His brother admitted that he found the demon pill in the bronze mirror and used it without the guy's permission. When he saw the bronze mirror light up that day, he didn't want to do anything more. But his son was upset and secretly sent someone to your Tianxing Sect."
"He also said that before Duan Hegui died... he dug out the demon pill."
These words made Shen Qiao feel pained.
The inner elixir of the demon race can be integrated into the body of the contractor. If it is to be separated under abnormal circumstances, the only way is to dig out the mark of the contract between the two people from the body, and it must be done by one of the two parties to the contract.
In other words, Duan Hegui personally dug out his own flesh and skin just to force out this demon pill? Why? Is this man really not afraid of pain?
Xu Tang's entire body tensed up. He frowned agitatedly, his tone filled with confusion. "Don't humans value longevity the most? I offered him the same immortality as me, so why did he give it up so easily? Was it because I left without saying goodbye after an argument? Later, I was captured by the demons. Before I left, I desperately tried to send him a message telling him I would definitely come back. But he still..."
At this point, his voice was about to choke again.
After a long pause, Xu Tang spoke again, "I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out! If he hated me, why would he follow my instructions and ask someone to rescue me? But if he didn't hate me, why... why couldn't he wait for me to come back?"
Shen Qiao couldn't help wanting to say a few words of comfort as he listened to his increasingly agitated voice, but as soon as he poked his head out from under the cloak, Wang You pushed him back.
"Go to sleep. Children, don't get involved in adult matters."
Hey……
If you really add up the ages of her previous lives, she must be over a hundred years old!
Xu Tang kept chattering on all the way, and Wang You just listened, occasionally responding when needed, but he didn't actually give any further hints.
Shen Qiao was originally curious about why Wang You was so indifferent, until she heard Xu Tang talking more and more, and mentioned that Duan Hegui was engaged, and the two had a big quarrel.
Shen Qiao suddenly understood something.
No wonder Wang You didn't let her talk too much. This was, in a way, a "family matter," right? But Xu Tang didn't seem to realize what she was thinking.
Yes, the emotions of the demon race have always been straightforward and without the constraints of the human world, but this vague feeling is indeed... quite unpleasant for Duan Hegui, a human being.
She had almost guessed the reason for what happened next, so she stopped listening. She walked slower at night, wrapped her cloak around her, and couldn't help yawning softly. Her eyelids felt heavy and she wanted to close them.
In fact, she did so. Anyway, what happened afterwards was not very clear. When she woke up again, she had already returned to the sect.
Xu Tang should have gone back already. Wang You and Wu Jin are not here.
It was already the morning of the next day.
She got out of bed, tidied herself up, opened the door and walked out.
The lowest realm required to enter the secret realm this time is the Tengyun Realm. In her previous life, she failed to catch up because her realm was not high enough. She only heard that although the level of this secret realm is not high, it is quite dangerous. Li Yue, Shang Mian and others have all been there, and after returning, they all said that the place is weird.
"Weird."
Hearing this word always makes people want to explore more.
Following the path he sensed, he went to the place where he usually practiced.
The gurgling sound of water in her ears gradually calmed her mind. When she arrived under the waterfall, she used her spiritual energy to fly up, passed the section where the water was the fastest, and landed in the stone cave inside the waterfall.
With less than a month left, she felt that she was not far from reaching the Great Perfection of the Tengyun Realm. It would be best if she could break through before entering the secret realm.
She found a place to sit on the ground, slowly closed her eyes, put aside all the thoughts in her mind, and gradually got into the state.
"Tsk, where did I go?"
Wu Jin, who came a step slower, stood at a distance and tried to feel the clear fluctuations of spiritual power, but shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, come back and call people for dinner later."
For nearly a month after returning from the human world, Shen Qiao ran back and forth between these two points almost every day, and he also had to visit You Xiu every ten days to repair his eyes.
This fulfilling life gradually left her with no time to think about other things. In fact, she had almost let it go. Wang You was right. She should do what she could do with her ability. She was very clear about her current purpose, so she just had to achieve them one by one.
As time passed, the night before she set off for the secret place, Wang You helped her complete the final repair. After this time, she could almost see things, but things from a distance still looked blurry.
What made her miscalculate was that she didn't have time to break through her realm.
"Huh? So what if you haven't made a breakthrough? Your current strength is not much lower than that of the Great Perfection of the Soaring Cloud Realm."
"But remember this, if anyone carries you back again, you won't be able to come down the mountain for the next ten years."
The above are the words Wang You left for her before leaving the sect.
Carrying it back... That's not necessary, right? Anyway, if you encounter life-threatening situations in the secret realm, you will be automatically teleported out.
Let’s talk about the members of this team.
There were only a few disciples in the sect who met the requirements and had time. Zhu Yu and Mu Jiu had been forced to go on a mission together and couldn't make it back. Among the elders, Que Yue, Yan Zun, and Zhan Meng had been meeting with officials from other sects a few days ago. Wang You was dragged by Ze Lan to clean up the back mountains, and Yun Zhi watched his good disciple Luo Dai planting trees in the wilderness.
After counting, it seems that the only one who is still in the sect and has free time is the Fairy Duchen who hates to show up the most. In addition, her two disciples are also on the list of people entering the secret realm, so she will lead the team to the secret realm this time.
"Hmm? Are you curious why my senior brother didn't come?"
