Chapter 12 12. Evil Cultivation
Chapter 12 12. Evil Cultivator
Dongshan Town is the territory of the Qingyun Sect. Ordinary evil cultivators dare not stay here. After all, these are all achievements. If the disciples of the major sects capture the evil cultivators, they can receive different rewards based on the crimes they committed. As a reward, isn’t the evil cultivator coming to Dongshan Town just to deliver food?
After breaking the control threads on several Waguis and dispersing the Waguis who were still spying on her, Yuyao fell into today's trance.
Although he entered meditation, his efficiency was not high. Yuyao felt somewhat restless, as if something was about to happen.
The dream that had never come since she decided to go down the mountain also came again.
The streets are still filled with smoke, the green tiles and white bricks are still unclear, and the turbulent flow of people is still unclear. Everything seems to be unchanged as before, but something seems to have changed.
A child carrying a lantern appeared in the still crowded crowd. The faint red light of the lantern shone on the sleeves of the young man in white who was following her.
Yu Yao couldn't see the young man's appearance, only his slender palms with distinct joints. The purple blood vessels on his fingers were clearly visible, and they were so pale that they were almost transparent, as if they were not what human hands should look like.
Mortal ghosts?
Seeing this scene, Yu Yao was in a trance for a moment. When he regained consciousness, the child holding the lantern had already left. Yu Yao tried hard to look back, but found that he seemed to be imprisoned there, unable to move.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
It's the ancient bell that rings in the morning.
Yuyao felt as if his spiritual energy had been drained, his body felt uncomfortable, and his body was sweating profusely like a mortal.
"Dong dong!" It was a knock on the door.
While she was still making breakfast in the early morning, the mute girl received a notice from the Bell and Drum Hall. The new fairy from Dongshan Town hired her to grow flowers and plants. I heard that the new employer was a beautiful fairy, so the mute girl had not yet had time to leave the stall early in the morning. I came to my employer's house first.
Recalling the beautiful but changeable fairies she met at her last employer's house, the mute girl felt a little uneasy. She glanced at her little brother who came back late from playing with the kids next door last night and was still sleeping soundly. The mute girl turned her parents around One of the remaining pair of parrots was taken away.
Before her employer woke up, she heard the sound of the ancient bell. The mute woman's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly left and went home to find her sleeping brother.
Awakened by the ancient clock in the morning, Yu Yao immediately saw the movement in front of the door and found that the mute girl suddenly turned around and left. She was still confused when she felt the jade slip in the brocade bag shaking.
This jade slip is a jade slip that all monks will buy when they go out. The information in this jade slip is announced by Tianji Mountain of Qingyun Sect. Generally, if there is no important matter, it will not be used. Once the entire Qingyun Sect is used, Disciples outside can receive it.
"Evil cultivators appear in Dongshan Town?" Looking at the notice on the jade slip, Yu Yao was confused, "Why is it at this time?"
Evil cultivators who practice evil heretics generally do not go to towns close to the Immortal Cultivation Sect such as Dongshan Town at this time. After all, there are many disciples at this time, and there are elders patrolling the mountain, so it is easy to be discovered when they appear.
"Isn't it right? Elder Huang doesn't seem to be back?" Yu Yao suddenly remembered that Elder Huang, who was supposed to come back from the Demon Cave this year, seemed to have not appeared yet. Logically speaking, he should have arrived before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but this year he was suddenly late.
Could it be that something happened again in the Demon Cave?
Yu Yao frowned. The Demon Cave has become much more active in recent years, especially after a Qingyun Sect disciple accidentally caused an accident in one of the Demon Caves a few years ago. The Demon Cave has become increasingly unstable and seems to be expanding.
After thinking for a while, Yuyao decided to go to the Bell and Drum Hall to have a look. There might be some news there.
At the same time that Yuyao left for the Bell and Drum Hall, the other disciples who received the notice from the jade slips also set off one after another. No matter where they knew, the news was not as true as the official one.
When Yuyao arrived at the Bell and Drum Hall, several waves of people had already come to the Hall. The Hall also gave explanations to everyone’s doubts.
This evil cultivator who escaped was once a local cultivator in Dongshan Town. He was still a mortal in his hometown, but because his parents were monks, he committed many evil deeds in Dongshan Town. Later, the whole family was expelled from Dongshan Town.
When he saw this, Yu Yao discovered that the house that the evil cultivator once owned in Dongshan Town was actually next door to her, where the two siblings lived.
Although Yuyao didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't allow others to snore and sleep in the bed. The monk's methods were beyond the comprehension and discovery of ordinary people, so there might be something wrong with that house.
Yu Yao inquired about relevant information in the Bell and Drum Hall, and was seen by many disciples of the Qingyun Sect. After discovering that Yu Yao had no intention of talking to them, they hesitated without disturbing Yu Yao and left directly.
This made the mortal workers who worked in the Tambourine Hall feel that today's atmosphere was a bit strange. The immortals who usually gathered in the Tambourine Hall to chat with each other when they arrived at the Tambourine Hall didn't say anything today.
When they discovered that they had glanced at a corner of the information wall intentionally or unintentionally before leaving, the guy discovered that there was an extra fairy in the corner of the information wall.
This fairy was dressed in mortal clothes, and her black hair was only held up by a simple wooden hairpin. Compared with other monks in cassocks, she was a little low-key.
Although you can't see his appearance, you can see his extraordinary demeanor from a distance.
Even so, it looks a bit unpleasant.
After Yu Yao got the news she wanted, she was about to leave, but was stopped before she could leave the Bell and Drum Hall. The person who stopped her was the nun who took her to that house a few days ago.
"Master Yu, I'd like to excuse you, do you have any intention of taking on a small mission?" The female cultivator looked at Yu Yao, who was expressionless, and asked tentatively, "It's just to protect two mortals, it's very simple."
Two mortals? Could it be those two siblings?
Yuyao thought about it for a moment. Today, he always felt as if something had been plotted against him.
But should you refuse?
The female cultivator noticed Yu Yao's hesitation, remembered the hall master's instructions, and quickly took out a box from her bag, "This is the reward, why don't you take a look and decide?"
Without waiting for Yu Yao to refuse, he opened the jade box. After Yu Yao took one look at it, he could no longer take his eyes away.
Is this a sapling of White Jade Fruit? Or is it the same plant but with different colors?
Yu Yao thought of the few white jade fruits he had left and swallowed without leaving a trace.
White jade fruit is a rare spiritual fruit. When immature, the fruit tastes crisp and refreshing. When it matures, its juice can be used to make a spiritual material called crispy bobo. When added to drinks, the taste is more delicious than eating it alone.
However, its growth environment is extremely harsh. Once it begins to take root, it cannot be moved. Therefore, every year, dietitians have to travel over the mountains and ridges to pick the ripe fruits where the white jade fruit grows.
After all, without complete inevitability, who can resist the charm of crispy bobo?
Reason and sweet tooth, sweet tooth still prevailed. Yuyao knew something was wrong, but still stepped into this pit resolutely.
