Chapter 141: Sloppy Eyes in the Council Hall
While Taoist Xuantan was stunned, Lingxiang had already walked behind Taoist Fuyin. Seeing her like this, Taoist Fuyin really couldn't understand what she was up to, so he looked at her and asked her in detail, but Lingxiang quickly leaned over to help him.
"Oh~ Oh~ Master~ Your eye disease has recurred? This is terrible. You have to suffer this every spring. Your disciple is really heartbroken~" The tone was so gentle and tortuous that even Master Zhaoming, who was used to listening, could not help but shudder, not to mention Taoist Xuantan and the group of male disciples he brought with him.
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin's face froze and he coughed lightly to cover it up.
"For...for the master...for the master, it's all right. Perhaps it was the dust that blinded him. It's nothing serious."
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was being disingenuous. There was no wind, not even a speck of dust, to mention the wind, in this hall. The sect's disciples swept it clean every day.
Lingxiang couldn't help but complain inwardly: This Sixth Senior Brother is really something, he can't even tell lies to fool people.
Her eyes flashed as she hurried to Master Fuyin and said, "Oh my! You've got ashes in you! Let me blow them out for you! I'm heartbroken that you've suffered so much!"
In this way, Lingxiang happened to be facing Xuantan Taoist priest on her back. When Master Fuyin saw her like this and was about to dodge, he saw Lingxiang winking at him. He immediately knew that she had something to say to him. Just as he was trying to find an excuse, he heard Master Qianyuan say:
"Since Sixth Junior Brother's eye disease has recurred, Maidong should help your master go back together. Apply some moxa leaves to relieve the pain and prevent it from getting worse in the future."
Zhenren Qianyuan's words really touched Lingxiang's heart. She turned around and saluted him, then pulled Zhenren Fuyin's sleeve. But after a moment, she seemed to feel something was wrong, so she bent down and supported his arm, pinching it secretly.
Master Fuyin stood up with great pain and apologized to Taoist Xuantan: "It is true that my old illness has come back. I cannot accompany you, Taoist brother. I hope you will forgive me."
Just as Taoist Xuantan stood up to return the greeting and said it was okay, Lingxiang pulled Taoist Fuyin out of the hall, as if she couldn't wait any longer. When she passed by Maidong, she just nodded at her imperceptibly.
Maidong just put down his teacup and glanced at her, as if it was just an unintentional glance.
After Fuyin Zhenren was dragged out of the meeting hall by Lingxiang, he saw that there was no one around and asked her what she was doing, but he saw that Lingxiang had a serious expression on her face.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I want you to take me to the Kunwu Sect in Haoyang City."
Master Fuyin was extremely confused and asked why, but Lingxiang just said that human life was at stake and urged him to fly the sword quickly and tell him more on the way.
…
"My name is Hongying, and I'm a disciple of Kunwu Sect. I've come here specially to visit Elder Fucang, hoping she can give me a pill so I can go back and save my master." The woman began to speak as soon as she sat down.
"Save your master? Who is your master?"
"I am a disciple of Master Xuan Huai, the head of Kunwu Sect. A few days ago, the head was poisoned and was seriously injured while subduing a demon. Now he is in danger. I heard that Elder Fu Cang of Yuanqing Sect is very skilled in medicine, so I came here without regard for the rules." Hongying said with tears in her eyes, and she looked really anxious.
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang hurriedly comforted him, "Since your master is a cultivator, how could he be poisoned? Moreover, he is the head of a sect, so why would he personally go down the mountain to subdue the demon?"
Upon hearing this, Hongying quickly replied, "It was the head uncle who poisoned Master's food. Senior Brother saw it with his own eyes. Now Master is in a coma, and Senior Brother is under house arrest. I only found out after I returned from the mountain to subdue the demon and noticed that the atmosphere in the mountain was not right. I went to see Senior Brother and found out."
"A few days ago, Senior Uncle Xuantan had someone guard Master's courtyard, and someone else had someone close off Senior Brother's courtyard. When I returned to the mountain, I felt something was wrong, so I immediately went to secretly look for Senior Brother, and that's when I learned the whole story."
"So it was your senior brother who asked you to come and find Elder Fu Cang?" Lingxiang frowned.
"Yes, he heard that Senior Uncle Xuantan was coming to Yuanqing Sect to ask for the life-extending elixir, so he asked me to go ahead. He said that if the elixir fell into Senior Uncle Xuantan's hands, Master would definitely not be able to survive." Hongying said, then she grabbed Lingxiang's hand and said, "Although we just met, I see that you seem much younger than me, so I will go out of my way to call you sister. My dear sister, since you know Elder Fucang, I hope you can say a few good words to her and save my master!"
Seeing this, Lingxiang hurriedly comforted her, saying, "Saving lives is the duty of cultivators. So, if you trust me, go back and wait at the Kunwu Sect's mountain gate. I'll talk to Elder Fu Cang on your behalf. She will definitely help you save the person."
Hongying seemed hesitant when she heard this, but seeing Lingxiang's sincere look on her face, she nodded.
"Then I'll leave everything to my sister!"
…
"So you think there's something fishy going on, and that's why you switched identities with Maidong?" Master Fuyin said as he increased the speed of flying his sword.
Guyang City is not far from Haoyang City. We have already wasted a lot of time just now. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. If it is true as Lingxiang said, we have to hurry.
Seeing Master Fuyin exerting force, Lingxiang quickly covered her ears - the wind was really uncomfortable, so Shoucheng's earth escape technique was more convenient.
"Brother, please don't panic. I just think there's something fishy going on."
Master Fuyin was very puzzled. She had just said that she was in a hurry to save people, so why did it become so strange?
"Brother, look, since Hongying went ahead, how did she end up at the Yuanqing Sect with Taoist Xuantan? That's one thing, but the other is that Taoist Xuanhuai is the head of a sect, so why would someone from the sect be in charge of his compound? Are all the disciples of the Kunwu Sect good-for-nothings?"
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin slowed down his sword-riding and pondered for a moment.
"You mean, the woman named Hongying lied?"
"That's not the case. Judging from her face, she doesn't look like a cunning or treacherous person. However, this matter is so inconsistent that there must be something else going on. But no matter what, if the head of a sect is really in danger, it is indeed a serious matter. Brother, you'd better hurry up, otherwise you will be late and help the villain's delaying tactics."
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin exerted force with his hand gestures and the flying sword under his feet became much faster. Lingxiang was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed the hem of his clothes to avoid falling.
It took about two quarters of an hour for the two to land. As soon as they landed, Lingxiang ran to the side and kept patting her chest.
This Senior Brother Fuyin is really something. Even if he was in a hurry to save someone, he wouldn't rush like this. He would send her to hell before rescuing the outsider.
Fortunately, I don’t know how to wield a sword!
Seeing her like this, Master Fuyin smiled and walked forward to pat her on the back. After some massage, Lingxiang felt much better.
"Look, this is Tulun Mountain. The gate of Kunwu Sect is right in front."
