Chapter 102 102 Wei Shizhou, I’ll wait for you to catch up.
Something happened to the Jianchen Sect?
The information Qingxuan received was not detailed. The Jianchen Sect would block the news as soon as something happened. The information that each sect could get was limited, but it was certain that something serious had happened.
Once this matter becomes known to the outside world, it will have a huge impact on the Jianchen Sect.
Considering the long-standing friendship between the two sects, Qingxuan did not continue to send people to investigate.
Qingxuan pondered, "The only thing I know is that a disciple of the Jianchen Sect has been possessed by a demon. I'm afraid it's the work of those hidden demons."
The Jianchen Sect is now busy cleaning out the demons within the sect and has no time to care about the outside world.
An inexplicable sense of panic arose.
Shi Hua couldn't tell where this panic came from.
"How is Chen Quan now?"
Chi Qingxuan: "I am trapped in the restriction and cannot escape."
There was one thing she forgot to tell them.
One of Chen Quan's souls was imprisoned in Jianchen Sect. She originally thought that with Cang Yan there, Chen Quan's soul wouldn't cause any trouble, but now it seems that they were careless.
Qing Xuan frowned, "I can't find out the status of Chen Quan's soul fragment in Jian Chen Sect. Immortal Venerable is on good terms with Cang Yan, so perhaps I can ask him something."
Shi Hua was now exhausted and needed a few days of rest to recover his damaged soul. He nodded his chin in agreement.
Chi Qingxuan winked at him, and he bowed and left.
"Senior Sister, you should rest well these few days. I will take Shi Zhou downstairs to recuperate..."
"Don't worry," Shi Hua glanced at the man sleeping on the couch, having cast a spell that had put him into a coma. "There's something I need to hear your thoughts on."
"Me?" Chi Qingxuan was surprised.
"Qingxuan, you and I have known each other for thousands of years. There are some things I know I can't hide from you. This time when I was unconscious, I saw my master."
Chi Qingxuan showed no surprise, as if he had guessed the result.
"In the years you've been with Master, what kind of person do you think he is?"
In Shi Hua's eyes, Chen Xu is tolerant and loving, but sometimes very erratic, and completely lacks the dignity of an immortal.
Looking back on the years they had spent together, she didn't find it strange at all, as if this kind of Chen Xu was the real her.
But now, Shi Hua couldn't see through her anymore. The meeting in her consciousness made her realize one thing - the Chen Xu she knew was not real.
"What kind of person?" Chi Qingxuan was startled. Something was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it. After thinking carefully, he said, "Actually, I don't know much about Master. The Master I know may be a bit of a joker, but he's always decisive when it comes to important matters. He's like a stabilizing force, always reassuring."
"Compared to my reverence for Master, I care more about Senior Sister. To me, Senior Sister is like family. I am very grateful and fortunate that Master accepted me as his disciple, so I respect and fear her, and regard her as my teacher. But Senior Sister is different. I like her from the bottom of my heart, like a family member."
This feeling is very heavy.
Shi Hua never knew that Chi Qingxuan was thinking this way.
She thought Chi Qingxuan was the same as herself, but now she felt that his feelings were correct.
She had a bit more blind admiration for Chen Xu.
"Sister, I don't want to lose my family. We can fight side by side in the future. I will practice hard and help you share the burden."
The escape of the demons is a warning.
Chi Qingxuan didn't want her to be like Chen Xu, sacrificing herself for the sake of the people. There must be a way to have both.
"OK."
Shi Hua agreed with a smile.
In fact, Chi Qingxuan is more mature than her.
After all, he had resolved his own inner knot, but she was still trapped in her inner demons and unable to get out.
The Heavenly Dao sealed her memory, and she lost the emotions of that memory, and her inner demon became silent. Now that the seal has been lifted, her inner demon has awakened again, and she can't think of a way to deal with her inner demon for the time being.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
"Qingxuan, from now on, just pretend that our master died in that great battle ten thousand years ago."
Chi Qingxuan's eyes were shocked.
He knew Shi Hua's obsession with Chen Xu better than anyone else.
Something big must have happened to make her say this.
"Senior Sister, you promised me that we would share the burden together."
Shi Hua lowered her eyes to look at his stubborn gaze and sighed, "You fainted that year. Do you still remember that Chen Xu was possessed by a demon before her death? I killed her with my own hands. The possessed Chen Xu was no match for anyone. For the sake of the immortal world, I had to kill her, but now a trace of her spirit remains..."
"Is that spirit the master who has been possessed by the devil?"
Shi Hua nodded silently.
Chi Qingxuan understood.
That was no longer the Immortal Master Chenxu that he knew.
"Don't overthink it, Senior Sister. There will be a solution. Rest well and recover your consciousness. I'll have Qingxuan make some more spiritual incense and send it over."
He came to Wei Shizhou's bed and lightly touched his forehead with his fingertips.
Wei Shizhou suddenly woke up and sat up, blinked, and looked at the two of them without saying a word.
"Come back with me, your body needs to be recuperated."
Wei Shizhou didn't ask any questions, but bowed and said, "Yes, Uncle Master, I'll take my leave."
Shi Hua pinched his eyebrows.
She had a hunch that the Jianchen Sect incident this time was related to a famous scene in the plot.
*
That night, the clouds were light and the moon was dim.
In the misty fairy palace, everything is quiet and silent.
Shi Hua hasn't slept for a long time.
She woke up in the morning and chatted with Chi Qingxuan for a while. She was already exhausted. After he left, she slept soundly for the whole afternoon and woke up only after dark.
At this moment, his spiritual consciousness has recovered a lot.
Shi Hua felt relaxed physically and mentally. He sat down by the window and enjoyed the leisurely night breeze.
Suddenly, someone entered the room. "It's so late, you should rest in your room."
"You sleep too much during the day, and you can't sleep at night. I guess you can't sleep while painting, so I came here specially to cheer you up."
To entertain her?
I can see through what's going on at a glance.
Shi Hua closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze brushing his cheeks.
"What do you want to ask?"
"There's nothing to ask," Wei Shizhou sat down opposite her. "Something's happened to the Jianchen Sect, and Huahua should have had a premonition. I came here to tell you that you can just follow the plot. Huahua must be ruthless when the time comes, and don't be soft-hearted."
Shi Hua: "When have I ever been soft-hearted towards you?"
Wei Shizhou smiled and said, "I know Huahua is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. If that day comes, I hope Huahua will severely whip me... I don't want to give Tiandao a chance to threaten you."
This statement was said with great sincerity.
Shi Hua opened his eyes and looked at him.
Those things deep in her consciousness seemed to have changed the person in front of her a little, but only a little, and the changes were not big, so she couldn't see through it for the time being.
"Are you...sympathizing with me now?"
Wei Shizhou was surprised. "Why do you think so? Huahua is very talented. I have been working hard to catch up with you and become a Taoist companion worthy of you, although the road is difficult. Does Huahua think that I feel sympathy for you because of those memories I saw?"
How could that be? He felt more heartbroken.
Wei Shizhou smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up: "I know you don't need anyone's sympathy. As powerful as you are, this is what you hate the most. I just feel that I am closer to the real you."
Shi Hua was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile.
She understood what he hadn't said yet.
"Okay, Wei Shizhou, I'll wait for you to catch up. You should know that where I'm standing is something you'll never be able to reach even if you spend half your life... But with your physique that cultivates both immortals and demons, perhaps you have a chance."
She gave Wei Shizhou the opportunity to pursue her, originally out of a coping mentality, but now looking back, she suddenly felt that this opportunity was quite good.
After standing on the high place for a long time, she became curious about the scene of Wei Shizhou chasing her.
"I won't let you down."
Wei Shizhou knelt devoutly at her feet, gently took her left hand, and lowered his head to give her a restrained kiss.
Where Shi Hua couldn't see, countless crazy and obsessive emotions were surging in his eyes.
The soft, moist touch on the back of his hand did not disgust Shi Hua.
His eyes calmly gazed at the man kneeling on one knee at his feet.
She was like a king, looking down at the man kneeling at her feet to see if he was worthy of standing by her side.
Well, maybe it's a good experience.
*
During this period of recuperation, Shihua had a rare chance to relax and unwind.
Occasionally, she would receive a message from Wei Shizhou, saying that he had practiced hard today and what he had gained from reading books at Wuya Book Pavilion. He also asked her if she was bored and asked to bring her some small things from the foot of the mountain.
Shi Hua did not refuse and lay on the beauty bed to sunbathe.
Such days did not last long.
Cang Yan's heavy voice came through the thousand-mile voice transmission.
"What's wrong?"
She rarely heard Cang Yan so serious.
"The soul fragment of Chen Quan that was imprisoned by the sect was discovered missing a few days ago."
When something happened in Jianchen Sect before, the people in the sect were busy cleaning up the demons and injured disciples, which gave Chen Quan the opportunity to escape. They neglected this point.
Two years ago, Chen Quan's soul was captured. In order to prevent the two souls from merging, Shi Hua had them imprisoned by the Jianchen Sect. Unexpectedly, it still happened.
Cang Yan told her in detail what had happened in the Jianchen Sect in the past few days.
At first, the patrolling disciples found wreckage in a remote corner, but they were unable to recognize the identities of the corpses because they were severely damaged and decayed. As more and more corpses were discovered, they realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately blocked the sect from all angles, strictly prohibiting the leakage of the news.
After examination, it was discovered that these corpses had the same characteristic - scars left by attacks by demons.
This made Cang Yan think of what Shi Hua had said.
There are fallen demons in the Jianchen Sect.
The investigation into the fallen demon had not made any progress. The man was hiding very deeply, and they could not find any clues, so they had to put it aside. Now the appearance of the corpse might be related to this fallen demon.
There are demons hiding in the Jianchen Sect, and the fallen demons might join forces with them to kill these disciples.
If it involves the demon clan, it must not be leaked to the outside world.
Cang Yan and the Jianchen Sect's Sect Master contacted each sect separately.
Shi Hua pondered, "I have suspicions about the Fallen Demons, but I have no evidence. This matter is definitely related to them. Have you learned anything from Chen Quan in the past two years?"
"Chen Quan is stubborn and has used every trick in his power. He takes advantage of us not wanting to kill him and sometimes deliberately provokes us."
Shi Hua was not surprised by Chen Quan's behavior.
He also maintained a stalemate like this in the Xuanyin Immortal Sect.
Cang Yan came to her to seek a solution.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the system's voice rang in her mind, and the words on her lips were silent for a moment and changed their meaning.
"We can't make this a big deal and let the demons hiding in other sects know about it. I'm sending Wei Shizhou and a few others to help you. Their strength is trustworthy."
Cang Yan frowned slightly. The highest cultivation level among these youngsters was only Wei Shizhou, who was at the level of a spirit being. Would it be a problem to send them here?
He didn't ask these questions out loud.
He unconditionally believed in every decision Shi Hua made.
"good."
