Living under someone else’s roof

The moment he was touched by the light, Chu Yao thought he was going to die.

The result was unexpected: she did not die, but was taken to another place.

She was rolled up by a strong force. As a Yuanying monk, she could recognize that it seemed to be a force of space, but it was far beyond the reach of ordinary Yuanying. The next second, she was brought to a place by the light.

In a small room.

The light seemed to be alive, turning into a huge sphere and wrapping her inside. Chu Yao tried to use his spiritual power and consciousness, but the effect was completely lost, and then even his body was sealed and unable to move.

Hooks of tubular links stretched out from all sides of the room's walls, grabbing Chu Yao's limbs, stretching her into a "big" shape, and pulling her to float in the air.

There is no other way, she has lost her cultivation, now she has no power to restrain a chicken, she is not even as good as a mortal, she can only be slaughtered by others.

She could only try to observe her surroundings, but she didn't gain anything useful. The room was pure white, spotlessly clean, and there were no windows.

Even a century-old monster would be confused when encountering such a surreal thing. Chu Yao could only judge that she should have been teleported into the interior of the "ship".

Two more "tentacles" appeared in front of him, but they didn't have hooks and claws, and the ends were long "stones". Red light emitted from the stones, sweeping across Chu Yao's body from head to toe, and a numbing feeling spread all over

Then Chu Yao suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his gauze skirt fell down in response.

What are you doing, you have to peel off the skin before eating it, right? Are you aliens so disgusting? Can you give me a good time?

The light in the stone turned green again, sweeping around Chu Yao's body, and then a strange voice came from the corner of the room. Chu Yao couldn't understand its meaning, but he could only vaguely feel that it had a cold meaning.

Two more tentacles appeared, with two half-pieces of silver and black rings, and they were clasped around Chu Yao's neck. The rings were heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Then the muscles on her buttocks felt pain, and they

He gradually lost consciousness after being injected with an unknown liquid.

——

Chu Yao had a long dream.

In the dream, she returned to her childhood, to the day when she first left her hometown village. Her uncle in the city took her into a tavern, where she greeted the guests every day and occasionally learned the craft from the chef.

However, this time she did not go to practice Taoism. As she grew up, she also saved some money, so she opened a small shop selling food in the city. She was favored by regular customers and the business was booming.

When she was twenty years old, the store welcomed a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. The two hit it off and fell in love with each other. The scholar promised to marry her after she passed the exam. She knew that the scholar was a man with great ambitions, but

Dare to covet a lot, but only cherish a few days of tenderness.

Unexpectedly, three years later, he actually won the first prize. On the day he picked her up, he was riding a tall horse in the spring breeze. She sat shyly in his arms, blushing and feeling the envious eyes of others.

On the big day, through the red hijab, she saw her parents' faces glowing red...

In her dream, she lived a simple and complete life.

It had been a long time since she had dreamed. As her cultivation deepened, sleep became no longer necessary. She spent the long nights meditating and falling into trance. When she woke up leisurely, her eyes seemed to still be on her hometown deep in her heart.

The out-of-focus eyes gradually returned to their original state, and what came into view was a gray ceiling. Chu Yao did not stand up rashly, but looked around with his peripheral vision, judging that this should be a relatively spacious hall, with twos and threes of people sitting in the corner.

The people around her noticed her movements and patted her shoulders. A familiar voice came:

"You're awake, Junior Sister Chu."

Senior Sister Bai!

Chu Yao sat up excitedly and almost couldn't control himself and wanted to pounce on his senior sister, but in the end he remained restrained.

"Senior Sister Bai, I thought I would never see you again... Phew, what are you wearing?"

Bai Yuejian was sitting next to her, wearing a beige suit. Regardless of the color, she looked like a waiter in a tavern. At the same time, she saw that her senior sister was also wearing the same one as hers on her neck.

Iron ring.

"Why are you laughing? See if you are like this yourself." Bai Yuejian tapped Chu Yao's forehead with her finger, making her laugh and shake her head.

Although others don't know much about this quirky junior sister, she still knows her very well. Although she may seem indifferent and a bit undisciplined on the outside, she is very considerate of those close to her.

Chu Yao scratched his head and saw the two senior brothers beside him, regaining his usual calm demeanor:

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Lu."

The two returned the gift. Chen Muchao was a slightly wealthy middle-aged man, the eldest brother of the leader Chen Qingyu, and was in the middle Nascent Soul stage; Lu Hua was an old man with gray beard and hair, who had been in the Tianyin Sect for many years, and was also in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Chu Yao, Bai Yuejian, Chen Muchao, Lu Hua, the four supreme elders of Tianyin Sect, are all here.

"So what's going on now?" Chu Yao asked, looking around with his eyes.

The circular hall was as white and flawless as before, and no doors or windows were found. There were quite a few people around, some sitting alone and some in groups, all dressed the same as them.

She quickly discovered something fishy, ​​because there were actually people she knew among those people. For example, the three people not far from them were actually the elders of the Chongyun Sect next door.

Chongyun Sect and Tianyin Sect are not far apart, and there are occasional frictions between the disciples, but the relationship between the elders is relatively harmonious.

Chu Yao checked carefully and found that there were seventy-nine people in the hall, and he immediately knew what was going on.

"Fairy must have noticed it too." Old man Lu Hua said, with an ancient air, neither close nor indifferent. "These people should be all the Nascent Soul cultivators on my Feng Yuan Continent."

Chu Yao nodded, feeling even more wary.

This unknown force from the starry sky can actually wipe out all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire continent. This strength is simply unbelievable.

"I just don't know what the purpose of arresting us is... However, since we are all fine, the disciples must have just been kidnapped, so we can rest easy for the time being." Chen Muchao also spoke at the side.

"I wonder how long you have been here?"

"I have just woken up not long ago. The first one should be Fairy Bai."

"I should be the first one to wake up." Bai Yuejian nodded.

"I wonder if after you were swept by that strange light, you were first confined to a room, uh... swept around by that light."

"One red light, one green light." Chu Yao continued.

"Then it seems that we encountered the same thing. After that, I was given some medicine and fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw everyone lying on the ground, and I found you and pulled me together."

The four of them were lost in thought.

"No matter what, since we only capture but don't kill, we must still be of some use, and maybe there will be help from us. Although Tianyin Sect is no longer what it used to be, there were once cultivators who ascended to the upper world. I think they must have

For my own sake, you can also give me Tianyin Sect some thin noodles."

Chu Yao looked at Lu Hua with a strange expression. If he really regarded the Tianyin Sect as an honored guest, would he be able to put on clothes like prison uniforms and a collar? Why don't you prepare a banquet and hot tea?

Waiting. Could it be that this old man stayed in the sect for too long and made his brain stupid?

But she didn't say anything. At this time of crisis, she couldn't say anything that would undermine unity. So she asked softly:

"Have you seen the monk who transformed into gods?"

"No."

Then tell me a hammer!

"But our Tianyin Sect has indeed had more than one god ascended! In the year 364 of the Yuan calendar..."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Muchao interrupted Lu Hua's Tianyin Sect history popular science class,

"Now we are living under someone else's roof, and our cultivation has been blocked. Although we are safe for the time being, we don't know what will happen in the future. Let's think about whether there are any means left."

"What Brother Chen said is absolutely true." Chu Yao flattered her silently. Originally, she and Old Man Lu didn't get along very well.

Lu Hua opened his mouth, but Mu Yao really made sense, so he had to hold back all the words, shook his head and blew his beard.

So the four of them sat cross-legged and began to think about countermeasures.

Everyone here is an old monster from Nascent Soul. Even the youngest Chu Yao has three hundred years of experience. He has seen countless side-study and heretical methods, but they are all hidden deep in the memory and need to be peeled off.

, sort it out slowly.

Chu Yao quickly fell into trance. He first looked inside himself and found that the Nascent Soul in his body was still firmly on the spiritual platform, and the spiritual power in his body was still there. This meant that they were not knocked down, but for some unknown reason, maybe because of the light.

, or it may be that because of drugs, the communication between one's own consciousness and spiritual power is cut off.

Beside Yuanying, a small sword with purple and gold patterns floated gently - this is Chu Yao's natal magic weapon, the Zihuang Sword. The golden elixir was forged with its own elixir fire. In the early years, she fought with her in battles, and now there are more

It uses its own spiritual power to warm and nourish it in the body.

Her storage bag had been destroyed along with her clothes in that room, and the only magical weapon left was the Purple Sword.

Chu Yao calmed down and searched for available methods in her memory. She knew a lot of spells, but unfortunately they all needed to be driven by spiritual power, so they were all useless. After thinking for a long time, she found a "Ghost-Calling Technique" that she learned during Qi refining.

, I immediately picked up the magic formula and prepared to try it, but after waiting for a long time, not even a ghost came.

However, this attempt confirmed some of her thoughts. The magic of summoning ghosts does not require spiritual power. It only requires verbal incantations to communicate with wild ghosts in the world. However, there is a prerequisite, which is that "the soul stands above the Nine Netherworlds." To put it bluntly, it means standing on the ground.

The failure of the magic to attract ghosts just proves that they were indeed taken captive to the ship in mid-air, rather than being transported to other places.

If you think more deeply, the ship might have flown far away...

She opened her eyes and met Senior Sister Bai's eyes. The latter shook her head silently, and Chu Yao felt a chill in her heart.

But she did not give up, but went into silence again and fell into deep thought.

Chu Yao actually has a strong stubbornness in her heart. She is determined on one thing and will never give up until she gets some results. Her character is like this, otherwise she would not be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm.
To be continued...
