Chapter 347 You Have to Run Faster
Jian Yue and Jiang Yu set out from the mountain to pick up other disciples.
Those disciples who were being chased were still in the cave on the mountain. Jian Yue had to go pick them up. He walked outside from the peak of the mountain and soon found the disciples trapped in the cave. Having spent the night in fear, these disciples all looked a little ugly.
Jian Yue said to them, "I have already contacted the sect with the token, and support should have arrived. You can go back to the village now. There are people from our sect there, and you can get treatment in the village."
The leader asked, "Where is the Immortal Venerable going?"
Jian Yue said: "I have to go back to the sect to discuss some matters with the sect leader. The demons are coming with great force this time, and we must respond."
After hearing this, the disciples were very excited and said:
"They are so heartless!"
"It's time to get rid of them!"
"Everyone of the demon clan must be killed!"
“That’s right!”
Jian Yue listened quietly. When they were about to say something, he said, "Okay, it's not the demons who made the mistake, but the vengeful spirits who were used by others. We have to find the right target for hatred. How can we practice and attain enlightenment if we can't distinguish right from wrong?"
He still spoke sternly.
The disciples immediately softened and bowed their heads together: "We disciples know we were wrong."
They still respected Jian Yue very much. If it weren't for the Immortal Master Yuehua last night, they would not be in the cave now, but in the ground.
Jian Yue had no ill will towards them. They were just a group of poor people caught up in a conspiracy. They were resentful only because, from their perspective, the vengeful spirits did hurt innocent people and took lives.
Jian Yue said: "You guys go back to the village. I have asked my eldest disciple to pick you up at the foot of the mountain."
Everyone nodded quickly.
After Jian Yue made all the arrangements, he turned around and looked at Jiang Yu behind him. He lowered his head and said, "You go with them."
Jiang Yu wanted to say something else.
Jian Yue said: "The evil spirits of the demons are lurking around, and the village needs someone. You said you have power, but don't forget where your power comes from. Spiritual energy and demonic energy are all spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This world has energy because of the activeness of various living beings. When you have more powerful power than others, don't forget to protect those weaker than you, because without them, there would be no world."
A trace of confusion flashed across Jiang Yu's eyes, then he nodded and said, "Okay."
Jian Yue nodded and turned to leave. As they passed by, Jiang Yu opened his lips and said, "Master."
His voice was very soft, but it could be heard clearly in the woods.
Jian Yue paused.
Jiang Yu said: "You...you will come back to pick me up, right?"
The air in the forest was fresh after the rain. The first ray of sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves, and the breeze gently blew the corners of people's clothes. However, Jian Yue was inexplicably unable to breathe, as if he was trapped in an invisible barrier. He looked back and saw the sunlight sprinkling on Jiang Yu's shoulders.
He raised his hand.
Touching a plum petal on Jiang Yu's shoulder.
"I will definitely come back." Jian Yue said to him, "I am your master, how could I ignore you?"
This promise seems more important than anything else.
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his eyes to look at Jian Yue and finally smiled: "Disciple understands."
Jian Yue said, "Go ahead."
Jiang Yu clasped his fists and walked away. He turned and walked towards the mountain road not far away. The sun was shining brightly. There were still traces of water on the path, which sparkled brightly under the sun. He ran forward happily, his hair swaying in the wind. When he reached the end of the path, he turned around and looked at him, waved and said, "Master, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Jian Yue smiled and wanted to speak, but the man at the end of the path might have felt embarrassed and ran away. Jian Yue watched the corner of his clothes disappear at the end of the path, and the smile in his eyes slowly faded.
Run, run faster, run forward, away from yourself, away from Lingyun Sect, away from all the difficulties here, run faster, and leave all these behind.
The cranes flew over following the command.
It was already afternoon when Jian Yue returned to Lingyun Sect.
There was an oppressive feeling of impending rain throughout Lingyun Sect. The mountain protection formation was activated again. The entire mountain was covered with white snow. He stood in the front yard of the Sect Master's courtyard and walked over, leaving footprints with each step.
When I pushed open the door, the master's room was very warm, with charcoal burning, and the master was sitting on a chair reading a book.
Jian Yue said: "The master's room is really warm."
The headmaster had aged a lot after not seeing him for a few days. He smiled and said, "Isn't this all for you, Yuehua? Since you forcibly asked the sky, your cultivation has been gone. You must be uncomfortable with this kind of cold, right?"
Jian Yue squatted down slightly. It turned out that the master knew everything. He smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your consideration."
The room was very quiet, with sandalwood burning. When he came in, snowflakes were falling off his outer robe. Jian Yue walked to the couch inside and sat down. Since the head of the sect knew about it, he would not pretend anymore.
And he was sure that the leader already knew it.
Some of yesterday's disciples must have sent back messages. Among this group of disciples, there are not only those from Yuehua Peak, but also the master's spies. This is normal.
really--
The headmaster said, "Drink some tea and warm yourself up. I will tell you something."
Jian Yue directly picked up the teacup on the table. It was warm tea with a fragrant aroma. It was good tea, but he suddenly remembered the noodle soup last night, which was much better than this tea.
The head of the sect said to him, "We have found the stone that can stabilize the city."
Jian Yue saw the tea leaves in the cup floating in the water. He swallowed the tea in his mouth and slowly put down the cup: "It seems that the headmaster has sent me on this trip for a good reason."
The head of the sect said: "This is all for the safety of the entire world."
Jian Yue said, "I guess attracting evil spirits to slaughter the village is also for the consideration of the whole world."
The head of the sect said: "For the safety of the world, sometimes we need a small group of people. They are the guardians of the town stone. The town will definitely appear. Look, it has appeared, and the villagers are fine."
Jian Yue smiled gently and said, "You mean, you killed your fellow disciples, used them to refine their souls, and used the lives of so many innocent people to deliberately create chaos, also for the safety of everyone?"
The expression on the headmaster's face gradually faded. He said, "Yuehua, I am old. The Lingyun Sect is weakening, but the demon race is getting stronger. If Zhenshi is destined to be the demon king of the demon race, then the entire cultivation world will be destroyed in the future. The suffering you saw in the Heavenly Eye is not false, right? What I did may be wrong. I deserve to be torn to pieces for my sins. But if I die, and a few of our Lingyun Sect die, we can completely destroy the demon race. I don't hesitate!"
There was a mad look in his eyes.
It was a faint reddish color.
Jian Yue felt the feather in his pocket move. He remembered what the eight-tailed demon bird said, that once a person is possessed by a demon, the demon feather will be able to sense when someone with demonic energy is nearby.
The leader already has an inner demon.
It’s really ridiculous that the person who wanted to exorcise the devil ended up becoming the devil.
Jian Yue said: "What are you going to do?"
"Kill Jiang Yu." The head of the sect said, "He is not the Zhenshi yet. For the Zhenshi to appear, he needs to fall into a desperate situation, be betrayed, abandoned, and completely possessed by the devil. Only then will the power of the Zhenshi come out. At that time, as long as we kill him and seal him under the Liangjie Mountain, the power of the Zhenshi will be sealed forever!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yue's heart calmed down.
On the way here, he still expected it, so he was not actually surprised that the story and plot of the original work had finally reached this point.
Jian Yue said: "Is this the only way?"
"You can't stop it, Yuehua. You should know that you have no cultivation. Even if you gather all the strength of your clansmen, you can't compete with Lingyun Sect. I have made up my mind." The head of the sect looked at him and said, "Jiang Yu must die."
Jian Yue asked: "You asked me to come back, what do you want me to do?"
The head of the sect seemed very satisfied with his tact. "You are his most trusted master. If you kill him, he will give up the fastest. Once he is sealed, I have found a way to help you recover your cultivation. Yuehua, you are a ruthless person. Killing your disciples to prove your truth is a hurdle in your tribulation. As long as Jiang Yu dies, everyone will know that you killed your disciples for the sake of justice. Everyone will remember your behavior. I am old, Yuehua..."
He looked at Jian Yue.
When their eyes met, the headmaster's cloudy and red eyes contained a cold smile, and he said slowly: "This position of headmaster is yours."
Jian Yue was silent for a long time. He stood up, his clothes fluttering with his movements. He raised his hand and said, "I will follow the orders of the Sect Master."
The headmaster's eyes even jumped with excitement. He said, "Go back and get ready. We will set off tomorrow."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes."
He turned and went out. It was afternoon when he came in, and it was already evening when he came out. He didn't know when the snow stopped, but there was a hint of setting sun hanging in the sky, and that red color looked like blood.
The crane was waiting for him not far away.
Jian Yue walked up to the crane and touched its head.
The crane tilted its head to look at him, with questions in its dark eyes. Then it lowered its head for the first time and rubbed Jian Yue's face. Jian Yue finally smiled. He gently stroked the crane and said, "If I'm gone, you'll be free. You must be unhappy being restrained here. I just figured it out now. I've lost my cultivation a long time ago, so how can I restrain you? You come every time I blow the whistle. It's really hard for you, but you definitely won't leave if I say this."
The crane seemed a little annoyed and pecked him.
Jian Yue played with him for a while and regained some strength. He said, "If I hadn't come here, he would have reminded me. Let's go. We have to meet some people before tomorrow."
