Chapter 171 Entering the Mansion and Seeing the Desolate Scene
Now money is not important to her at all. What is important is her master. To be honest, she doesn't seem to care much about money. Only her master always talks about money.
Hua Zhe's words were full of anxiety and worry. Qi Ningzhu originally wanted to say some polite words, but she never expected Hua Zhe to directly extend his hand.
She grabbed Qi Ningzhu's wrist and dragged her towards the mansion, her steps brisk, afraid of slowing down.
Hua Zhe thought in his heart: No matter what, the people under my command are more powerful than me, so let them go and see how the master is doing first, and try to waste as little time as possible. After all, if the time is delayed too long, the master will be in greater danger.
These two arrived just in time, so the master should be fine...
She kept comforting herself in her heart, but she couldn't help but glance at the gradually declining Jinli Mansion.
When I came back, the mansion was still full of spring scenery, but the master's injuries gradually worsened. The spring scenery of Jinli Mansion had long disappeared. In addition, it was winter now, and the desolate state made people feel uncomfortable.
Master...you must hold on, it will be fine, everything will be fine.
"Hey? My last name is Qi Ningzhu. The one outside the door is my master. You can call her Yingsu Xianjun. Don't be anxious, my friend. Walk slowly."
Qi Ningzhu signaled her not to be anxious, after all, Bai Yunshu was still at the door, and before she could react, she was dragged away, staggering and almost falling.
But Hua Zhe ignored her request and just kept pulling her to walk faster and faster.
Before these two people arrived, she was waiting here, and from time to time she went back to look at her master, running back and forth, for fear of wasting time.
After all, the master could no longer take the medicine... Even if she forced him to eat it, he would vomit it all out.
Looking at the two figures rushing inside, Bai Yunshu narrowed his eyes, followed slowly behind, and looked at the Koi Mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a lotus pond. There is a broken bridge over the pond. It seems that there is no trace of life in the mansion. It is too desolate. Only the whistling sound of the wind makes it less quiet.
The lotus flowers and leaves in the lotus pond have all withered, and only bare trunks are left of the trees beside the pond. Because the weather is too cold, a thin layer of ice has formed in the pond, making the desolation even worse.
She sensed a little bit of demonic energy, but more of a bloody smell.
The scope of tasks undertaken by Qianji Pavilion is very broad, but few of them are related to monsters.
After all, demons and monsters are considered one family, and demons will not ask for letters casually. She took on this task for Ningzhu because the reward written on it was very generous.
The letter was signed by a mortal, and his aura was also mortal, so I didn't think too much about it. Now it seems that this mortal's request must be related to the monster.
If the demon is kind and has never done anything evil, there is nothing wrong in giving it a helping hand.
Bai Yunshu walked in the direction where Hua Zhe and Qi Ningzhu left, and sighed that the scenery was actually quite unique.
Most of the scenes here are created by demonic power. When the monsters are injured, the scenes will change accordingly. It will go from being full of vitality to no longer prosperous in just a moment.
It seems that the monster was seriously injured, and many scenes in the mansion are gradually collapsing. I guess... it won't live long.
I don’t know if this mission can be accomplished... It seems like I have dug a hole for my little disciple, but it’s okay, my little disciple probably won’t blame me.
Hua Zhe, who was hurriedly waiting in front, heard Qi Ningzhu's words and nodded in annoyance, saying, "I understand, but I have something more important to ask of you right now, so...try to cut out irrelevant nonsense."
Qi Ningzhu frowned: "How can this be called irrelevant nonsense... I know you are anxious, but being anxious won't solve the problem now."
Hua Zhe ignored her, but after seeing another wall in the mansion collapse, the pain in his eyes gradually deepened.
She pulled Qi Ningzhu into the room and to her master's bed.
Because his own cultivation was not as strong as Bai Yunshu's, Qi Ningzhu only now noticed the faint demonic energy and could not help but look at the bed.
On the bed decorated with gold and red colors, there lay a woman with an extremely pale face, who looked not very old.
There were many red scales on her cheeks, which were barely visible.
Hua Zhe's master? A demon? And he looked like a young demon... This was too strange. She had never received a request for a demon-related letter before.
Shouldn't a demon's apprentice be a demon? Why is he a human? And the way Hua Zhe looked at him didn't seem like he was looking at his master, but rather at the person in his heart.
For a moment, Qi Ningzhu couldn't help but feel curious, but still started asking questions in a very professional manner.
"What's going on with her? Tell me in detail..."
In fact, before she saw the person on the bed, she really wanted to say to Huazhe that you pulled the wrong person, you should have pulled my master, she is more powerful than me.
But then she thought again, these tasks were taken on by Bai Yunshu for her, so in a sense they were hers. It didn't matter whether Bai Yunshu was there or not, she could try to solve them.
When asked the reason, Huazhe had a sad expression on his face and spoke slowly.
"The power of the fallen immortal, seriously injured and the demon core shattered, I want to seek a demon core to remedy it."
There was deep sorrow in her tone. Qi Ningzhu opened her mouth, but she swallowed the words back silently: "It would be better to let her die."
She checked the demon pill of the person on the bed and found that there were many traces of stitching on the demon pill that was broken into pieces. But probably because she found it useless, she directly made a barrier to wrap it up and forcibly prolong its life.
"Rumor has it that the shattering of a demon core is extremely painful. It's like being torn apart by ten thousand swords. Many demons choose to end their lives to alleviate the pain. I'm actually not sure how to repair it..."
She explained to Huazhe, and Huazhe's eyes suddenly became fierce and his whole body became gloomy.
Qi Ningzhu looked at her changes and began to feel inexplicably afraid.
It's strange... This feeling is similar to Bai Yunshu, but not as strong as Bai Yunshu.
I won't be as paranoid as Bai Yunshu, will I?
In fact, Qi Ningzhu guessed something.
If the person in front of her wasn't so paranoid, her master would have died long ago. The only reason he's still alive is because of evil methods that prolong his life, cutting flesh and bleeding to feed the demon, allowing it to exist for a while.
After all, the cultivation of demons is not satisfied with absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Demons that cultivate too slowly will eat human flesh and blood to make themselves stronger.
"It was originally a five-hundred-year-old koi fish demon, called Huazhe, right? It's a unique name, but not a good one..."
Bai Yunshu's voice came from the door, and Qi Ningzhu and Hua Zhe turned their heads at the same time.
The white snow on the umbrella remained outside the door. Bai Yunshu slowly closed the umbrella and looked at the two people in the room.
