Chapter 324 Who is the real disciple!
Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then gave his eldest disciple an affirmative look and left.
The crane was flying very fast. When it was flying high in the sky, Jian Yue was already looking at the time displayed on the system panel. The time was counting down bit by bit, and the blood-red numbers seemed like a death warrant.
He was delayed for more than half an hour on the mountain. It would also take time to get to the mountain in the northwest, especially since Jian Yue was still a little lost.
Fortunately, the crane was somewhat human-like. Jian Yue felt that he could communicate with it with his thoughts. Although he also found it strange, the owner of the crane should be the original owner. If it could communicate with thoughts, shouldn't it be the soul of the original owner? How could he communicate with it with his thoughts? However, he did not think much about it. Anyway, the most important thing now was to complete the limited-time task.
Cranes fly over the hills.
Finally we stopped in a very dense forest.
This is still the edge of the forest, but one can already feel that it is very cold here. The cranes at the edge of the forest are reluctant to go closer into the forest.
Jian Yue knew that it would not move forward and he had to go in alone, so he got off the crane and let it fly away secretly, then turned around and walked into the woods.
As soon as we entered the woods, fog started to rise all around.
But for some reason, his eyesight in this dungeon world was very good. He could see clearly even when there was thick fog around him. Jian Yue walked forward along the source of the fog. As he walked, he heard people talking:
“What to do with these?”
"Leave it here for now. We will send it there in two days."
"That one needs it urgently."
“I want to keep some for myself!”
Jian Yue recognized that one of the voices was indeed Jiang Cheng's, but the other one was unclear, probably Elder Chang Feng. He stood in the bushes and looked at the two people. With the faint light, he finally saw clearly that this was a huge ice cave on the west side of the snow-capped mountain.
Two people stood at the edge of the cave.
Jiang Cheng said: "This time, Yuehua is in charge of the disciple competition. Will it be more difficult than before?"
Elder Chang Feng was wearing a thin long coat in the middle of winter, looking like an immortal. He said, "That idiot Yuehua is just a weakling. What else can he do except for his face? His divine eye is indeed powerful, but he must know the backlash he will suffer if he uses it once. Don't be afraid of him!"
Jiang Cheng said: "From the way he looks today, he seems to be aware of the situation. Should we find an opportunity..."
The two men were plotting loudly.
Jian Yue was listening attentively when suddenly, there was a crisp sound of branches in the fog not far away, which aroused the vigilance of the two people who were talking. Jian Yue followed the sound of the animal and saw a person in the fog, hunched over and hiding behind a tree. He was covered in injuries and was still wearing a disciple's uniform.
I saw two people coming over not far away.
The disciple was frightened by the oppressive feeling emanating from the person with higher cultivation level and almost collapsed on the spot. Jian Yue frowned as he watched, and seeing that the two people over there were about to come over, he waved his hand, found a treasure cover with a shield from the original owner's treasure chest and threw it on the man.
When the two men approached, Jian Yue just covered them.
The huge treasure cover was just the right size to cover a person, so when the two people approached, they naturally couldn't see anything.
Jiang Cheng was a little confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Chang Feng looked around and said, "The demonic energy has been strong recently. It's possible that the nearby mountain beasts have been affected by the demonic energy. But we really need to be more careful recently."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Let's go back and take a look."
The two men then left.
The two people hiding under the tree and covered by the treasure cover could hardly breathe. Jian Yue pulled the person next to him, and waited until the two people walked away before he took the person under the cover and walked a little further away. This person was seriously injured, and his steps were bumpy all the way, but Jian Yue was still able to drag him aside with ease.
As soon as they reached the hillside, the young disciple vomited blood and vomited all over Jian Yue.
Jian Yue: “…”
The original owner liked to wear white clothes, but the red one was so dazzling that it was scary.
The young disciple looked at Jian Yue, spitting out blood and said, "Save me, save me... I'm so miserable, why am I so miserable, what kind of broken system is this, I haven't even finished the mission in the dungeon, and it's letting me die like this..."
Copy?
Is this a player?
That should give us a lot of clues. Jian Yue sighed, then took out some hemostatic medicine from his pocket and fed it to him. This should be a gift from the original owner himself. The effect was very good. The little disciple stopped vomiting blood soon after taking it.
"Are you okay?" Jian Yue asked with some concern.
The young disciple was moved and said: "Thank you very much, benefactor, I am much better now, if you have any request, please let me know!"
Jian Yue: "Then I'll tell you."
The young disciple stood in awe and said in an impassioned voice: "Please speak!"
Jian Yue: "Can you get off my legs? You're putting too much pressure on my legs."
Young disciple: “…I’m sorry.”
He got up from Jian Yue's legs, and Jian Yue asked, "Are you the tasker?"
The young disciple was stunned, and looked at Jian Yue in surprise, then quickly laughed and said, "Hahaha...what tasker? I don't know..."
Jian Yue said: "Actually, the pill I just fed you is poisonous. If you lie, you will bleed to death."
The young disciple said quickly: "I am the tasker, I really am the tasker, hero, oh no, Master, do you have the antidote? Please save me quickly. It's not that I don't want to say it, it's the system that won't let me say it!"
Jian Yue: "...Just say it directly, because I am also a tasker."
The young disciple looked at Jian Yue in shock. After a while, he jumped up and said, "Fuck! Then why are we disciples when we enter the dungeon, and you are also a tasker? You have so many magic weapons, and you are so powerful!"
Jian Yue: "The identity I randomly assigned will be abused by the male lead for a million words in the following plot."
The young disciple choked up and said, "Brother, you are the one who suffers the most."
Jian Yue waved his hand: "Brother, you still need to practice."
The young disciple felt much better. He said to Jian Yue, "Well, I still have to thank you for your help. To be honest, you look really beautiful, but your clothes are a little tattered. You don't know how scary you are. I thought you were some kind of immortal. Oh, this competition is hosted by an immortal. His name is Yuehua Immortal. That person is so arrogant and to put it bluntly, he has no real strength. He is useless except sitting there. Otherwise, how could someone die in our preliminary round?"
Jian Yue: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions about Yue Hua Xian Zun. In fact, if you still have any opinions about him, you can tell me."
The young disciple asked happily, "You still know him?"
Jian Yue: "I am him."
Young disciple: "..."
A somewhat dejected expression appeared on his face.
The audience in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy when they saw this scene.
After a while, the young disciple who had finally prepared himself mentally was about to go crazy. He said, "I'm sorry, Immortal Venerable, I didn't mean to target you."
Jian Yue said: "It doesn't matter. There are many people who deliberately targeted me. I have already seen them all. You are not the only one. In fact, what I care more about is where did you escape from?"
Speaking of this point.
The young disciple's face showed a frightened expression. He said, "My name is Wang Chen. I am a disciple participating in this competition. I was randomly assigned to this dungeon as a tasker. I have been in this dungeon for two or three days. I feel that the world of this dungeon... I don't know why, but I feel it is particularly strange. I asked around before coming here, and I knew that this dungeon should have been forcibly closed, but I was randomly assigned to this dungeon!"
Jian Yue said: "It was forced to close before, how do you know?"
Wang Chen curled his lips and said, "Why don't you go out and ask around to find out my name, Fengliu Thirteenth Brother, the administrator of the Newcomer Area of the Nightmare World Forum. I am well versed in all the gossip in the Nightmare World. Do you know the most popular Steward Wang in the Newcomer Forum? I have read all his copy replays and even know which gang he is in privately. If you want to know, you can ask me!"
Jian Yue: “…No need.”
Wang Chen said: "You don't believe me?"
Jian Yue: "...I am."
Wang Chen was strangely silent for a long time.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy this time:
"It's so embarrassing to be caught by the real owner."
"How can someone be so embarrassed twice?"
"Oh my god, there's so much going on."
"Forum owner, you've been chasing a star for so long and now you've finally met the real one!"
Jian Yue said: "Let's talk about the point. Wasn't this copy sealed before instead of closed? What about the people in the copy? Do you know?"
If the incense burner recalls the first copy he and Xiaoyu had, then the ending of the copy is also very important to him.
"I, I don't know." Wang Chen was frightened by Jian Yue's momentum. He said, "I just heard about it, because this dungeon has actually been around for a long time. I heard that when the Nightmare World just appeared, this dungeon was considered the first batch of dungeons. At that time, the difficulty of this dungeon was very high. I heard that a very powerful boss personally led a team into this dungeon. They were all among the top 100 in the Nightmare World, but in the end, none of them came out!"
Jian Yue was surprised and asked, "All of them?"
Wang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, for some reason, none of them came out of this dungeon. The live broadcast room was not open at the time. No one knows what happened in this dungeon. We only know that no one who entered the dungeon came out. I heard others say that they should all... all died."
Jian Yue's heart sank suddenly. He asked, "You mean, no one has ever left this copy?"
This statement touched upon Wang Chen's comfort zone, as he knew the past of these copies very well.
"That's right. In fact, I was very curious about this dungeon at the beginning, and I specifically checked its previous files. It was first opened by a few big guys, but no one came out." Wang Chen whispered, "I heard that after those people disappeared, the entire nightmare world was turned upside down. At that time, the nightmare world did not have so many sections, only the Moon Realm. Later, some people insisted on opening the dungeon to save people, and some people felt that there should be no unnecessary sacrifices, so they split up, and now we have the four realms working together."
It was the first time that Jian Yue knew that the history of the past was so rich. He was a little stunned. If no one had ever come out of this copy, then what about him? Why did the incense burner go back and let them return to this copy?
Something is wrong. This is so wrong.
Countless speculations contradict each other. This copy does not seem difficult, but the mystery behind it is getting bigger and bigger.
Wang Chen reminded him, "Butler Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Jian Yue came back to his senses and asked, "What happened later? This copy never appeared again, and there was no news about the people inside?"
Wang Chen shook his head and said, "No, to be honest, no one knows what happened in this instance back then. It was really sudden. I'm not very clear about the environment of the nightmare world in the early years, but I really want to meet the people at that time."
Two people sat under the tree, the white snow fell and the silence was endless.
"Think about it, when the nightmare world was first opened, I heard that there was actually no forum. It was the boss of the Moon Realm who said that a forum should be established and strategies should be released to ensure that everyone has a higher survival rate. That's when the forum appeared." Wang Chen said, "I can't even imagine how difficult it was to get the props used to build the forum. At that time, everything was in chaos and there was no order. They set a precedent, created territories and established tasker shelters. They didn't actually have to do these things, but they still did it."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "It sounds like this person is pretty stupid."
Wang Chen said: "But it's also great. Who in the world doesn't know you? There is no one in the nightmare world who doesn't know them. I just didn't expect that this copy would be restarted. Maybe we can find out the truth about them back then?"
Seeing his gossip spirit burning, Jian Yue asked, "Does your waist hurt anymore?"
Wang Chen finally reacted and covered his waist, saying, "Ahhh, it hurts! It hurts so much!!!"
Jian Yue: “…”
"What's going on in that cave?" Jian Yue asked.
Wang Chen paused, then looked at Jian Yue and said with a serious expression, "Inside are all the disciples who died in this competition. They should have been buried and sent back to their respective families, but they brought them here and want to take them away. I don't know where to take them. I was in there too, but my card saved my life, so I ran out."
Jian Yue asked: "Who did it?"
The two people looked at each other.
There was a moment of hesitation on Wang Chen's face, but in the end, perhaps because he felt that the person in front of him was really Butler Wang, and Butler Wang could be trusted, and he would never do anything treacherous.
"Jiang Cheng and Chang Feng, the elders of Lingyun Sect." Wang Chen said, "They were the ones who did it."
Jian Yue said: "Do you know what they are going to do?"
Wang Chen shook his head.
Jian Yue felt that if he wanted to find out the truth about the disciples' deaths, he had to know what they wanted to do by letting them die. He said to Wang Chen, "I want to go into the cave. Can you lead the way?"
Wang Chen hurriedly said: "What?! I finally escaped, I don't want to..."
Jian Yue: "Then I will just leave you here, and they will catch you back later."
Wang Chen: "How do you know that I like to lead a little way, please come this way, Immortal Lord!"
The two continued to walk inside using the Baibao Invisibility Shield. The cave was dark, icy and very cold. Both of them were shivering. Jian Yue had no skills to protect his body, so he was shivering from the cold. Wang Chen had a fire ability, and he would not have woken up if the card hadn't burned him awake. However, his card had no more uses after it was used, so he was also freezing.
"Those two people seem to have left." said Wang Chen.
Jian Yue nodded.
The two of them walked inside and soon reached the end. From a distance, they could see corpses lying on the ground. These were all disciples who had sacrificed their lives. Some of the disciples were very young, looking no more than ten years old. Jian Yue felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Wang Chen whispered, "These are all accidents that happened during the competition."
He looked rough.
Jian Yue squatted down and looked carefully. His professional habits made him observant. He said, "Hold the flashlight for me."
Wang Chen took the flashlight.
After exchanging gloves at the mall, Jian Yue looked carefully at the person in front of him. Just when Wang Chen thought that this person was no different from an ordinary person, except for some knife wounds on his body.
Jian Yue touched the man behind his ear and said, "There is a needle here."
Wang Chen was stunned.
Jian Yue said, "A normal corpse cannot have this skin color within five hours of death, but the complexions of the corpses here are too normal, so there must be something causing it. There should be other places with this needle."
After he said that, Wang Chen didn't dare to act rashly.
Jian Yue continued searching, and finally found needles everywhere, on his head and fingers.
"Look at the others." Jian Yue said, "Are they all there?"
Wang Chen looked at the others and his expression became serious: "All of them."
Jian Yue said: "I don't know what these needles are used for, but they must have a source and a story. Maybe after finding it, we can know their purpose and why they did this."
As soon as the words fell.
The system panel also refreshed: "
[Main Quest] The Secret of the Needle
[Task Details]: Please find the secret about the needle and the truth behind it
[Task Reward] Gas Mask"
Jian Yue:?
What.
Wang Chen said: "Can we help them remove these needles? They look so scary!"
As he spoke, he started to pull out the needles, and one of the needles came loose.
Jian Yue quickly stopped him: "Don't move!"
As a result, as soon as the needle moved, the light in the entire cave became wrong. Jian Yue stood up in a panic. He had lost his cultivation but could sense the danger: "Someone is coming, hurry up!"
They walked outside quickly. Jian Yue missed the teleportation card very much.
Fortunately, he had the invisibility cloak. Jian Yue quickly ran outside, walked a little further away, summoned Wang Chen and rode on the crane. When he looked back, he saw a figure standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him from a distance. The dark and deep gaze made people's hearts tremble!
Back to the mountain.
Jian Yue's heart was pounding, and Wang Chen was so frightened that his whole body was numb. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know. I just wanted to see the needle. I felt like I'd seen it somewhere."
"Forget it." Jian Yue said, "Where's the needle?"
Wang Chen handed it to Jian Yue, who took a look. The needle had complicated patterns on it, which would make it easier for them to find out the origin of the needle and the secret behind it. He said, "You stay at the top of the peak now. No one lives in my backyard. I'll change your clothes when it's daybreak. From now on, just say you're my fairy boy, and everything will be fine."
"Thank you, benefactor!" Wang Chen said excitedly: "I will sacrifice my life for you, even if it means death!"
Jian Yue said: "Then go back now and help me monitor the cave."
Wang Chen said quickly, "My benefactor, I will not refuse death, but you can't kill me now! It's so cold outside, please give me some clothes!"
Jian Yue waved his hand and casually took out a cloak from the package and gave it to him: "Let's go, let's go back with me."
Wang Chen followed quickly behind. When Jian Yue came out from the front, he found that it was already dark. There was a formation on the mountain in the northwest, so there was snow all year round and it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night. But it was so dark outside that he didn't know how long he had been delayed inside.
As I slowly walked towards the main courtyard, I noticed that the lights were on in the courtyard.
The gatekeeper spirit transformed from a spiritual weapon at the door bowed and saluted: "The Immortal Master is back."
Jian Yue said: "Yes, why are you here?"
"Someone is here to see the Immortal Master. I am here to inform him." The gatekeeper spirit.
Jian Yue was curious: "Who?"
The gatekeeper spirit is just a Dharma image, it has a simple mind and says whatever it wants: "It's a little disciple, he said he is the disciple of the Immortal Venerable, to thank the Immortal Venerable for the medicine, I told him that the Immortal Venerable is in seclusion and has no time to see him, so he has been waiting in the yard, and he hasn't left yet."
Jian Yue was stunned. Recently, in order to test the disciples, formations had been set up on various mountains and the weather was abnormal, so it snowed on his mountain tonight. He walked quickly towards the yard. There was already a thick layer of snow in the yard. A thin figure stood in the middle, with a layer of snow on his shoulders.
His footsteps finally seemed to wake up the little snowman.
The man was the apprentice he had just accepted today. He was covered in snow and looked back at him.
He saw Jian Yue coming in in surprise, and a strange little disciple wearing a warm cloak following behind him.
