"Have you heard about the internal strife in the Demon Sect? The demon leader Dong Tu had his inner alchemy cultivation destroyed by the demon leader Nan Lu, and he became a useless person—"
"Ah—it's indeed a demon. Destroying someone's inner elixir, isn't this simply blocking their path to cultivation?"
"There are demons on both sides, why do you pity him..."
Lu Cai took the fried beans given by the innkeeper and sat at a table on the side. He ate the beans while listening to the gossip of the people around him.
She went down the mountain with the four fellow disciples and waited in this inn to meet up with the disciples from other sects. However, after waiting for three whole days, no one showed up.
These three days were not entirely fruitless. At least Mr. Lu became familiar with the proprietress and could often get snacks from her.
She liked to order a few plates of dim sum and sit in a corner to listen to the guests discussing various rumors, which was also considered as listening to the news broadcast on a regular basis.
Not long after they started listening, three figures came to the table. Except for Du Hanyun who liked to stay in his room, the other three had seen Lu Cai sitting idly in the lobby of the inn every day, and over time they got used to it.
After all, Lu Cai was using his own spirit stones, and no one else could interfere.
"How much have you eaten in the past three days?" Qiu Yiyi began to nitpick as she approached. "For cultivators, fasting is fundamental. How could they indulge in such a gluttony like you?"
Lu Cai had already figured out their personalities. Although Qiu Yiyi was unhappy with her, she had no bad intentions.
"My cultivation is low, not as good as my junior sister's, so I still need to eat some food to fill my stomach." She said indifferently.
Zhang Sun Jing was accustomed to practicing Tai Chi, and he immediately said with a smile: "Junior Sister Lu is neither impatient nor anxious, and her mind is calm and steady. If the master knew, he would definitely be pleased."
Oh my god, the little apprentice sister was just picked up by the headmaster and brought back to the Zhengqing Sect. I'm afraid he didn't even have the chance to see his little apprentice's appearance clearly before he went into seclusion until now. How can the master-disciple relationship make him feel happy...
He is said to be the master's disciple, but in fact he is just a figurehead. The relationship between the master and the disciple is as plastic as it can be.
Lu Cai just smiled and didn't say much.
Su Ye heard the conversation at the next table: "Nan Lu is currently in the limelight. If he really unifies the Demon Sect in one fell swoop, the Immortal Sect will be in trouble."
"The four great masters of the Demon Sect have equal cultivation levels. Now Nanlu has abolished Dongtu and returned Taozhi Mountain to Luofu Territory. Xishi and Beisha will definitely join forces to protect themselves, and Nanlu will not gain any benefits." Changsun Jing said to comfort him.
"There are constant unusual movements in various places in the Northern Wilderness. Why don't we take this opportunity and head north?" Qiu Yiyi was eager to try, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Cai listened to their conversation with great interest, feeling that they were indeed a group of passionate young men. The situation in the Northern Wilderness was turbulent, and it was also the territory of the Demon Sect. How could these few new recruits dare to go there?
At this moment, someone outside the gate laughed and said, "New thing, a young monk was harassed by a prostitute outside the brothel's waterside pavilion—"
"Is this really true?" another person asked in surprise.
"Yes, the monk's robes and beads don't look cheap. I guess he's not a serious monk—"
Su Ye frowned: "Monk? Could he be a Buddhist from Chanyin Temple——"
"The young monk dressed so expensively could be him." Qiu Yiyi nodded.
Chang Sun Jing looked at Lu Cai and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Lu, would you like to go take a look together?"
——
The streets were bustling with activity, and with the farce of Hua Niang pestering the monk, there was a crowd of people. When Lu Cai and his three fellow disciples arrived here, they had to squeeze in.
Finally, as he squeezed into the crowd and approached the front row, Cai Lu heard a familiar voice.
"I advise you to get out of the way. He looks kind, but he's really vicious when he's doing it—" It was a young man.
Lu Cai raised his eyebrows, pushed through the crowd, and saw a figure standing in front of the flower building with red silk hanging high. It was indeed a monk.
The monk was only about nineteen or twenty years old, with a fair complexion, and looked like a naive college student.
He wore a white monk's robe inside and a dark grey cassock outside. The fabric was smooth and embroidered with gold thread. The white boots also had golden patterns. Looking at his tightly bound belt and well-fitting hem, he must have walked with great agility. It was obvious at a glance that he was a wandering warrior monk.
About one meter in front of the monk stood a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, looking at him pitifully with an expression of deep love and no regrets.
Next to her was a young man with a smirk on his face. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with tan skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He carried a magic sword on his back. He was the one who had just been persuading Hua Niang not to bother her.
"It's really Master Wen An..." Qiu Yiyi's eyes widened as she looked at the crying woman. "He wouldn't really..."
When Lu Cai heard her tone, he felt that this junior sister was as excited as if she had fallen into a melon field.
However, Lu Cai had not expected that Guan Chengyu and Wen An were also in this copy. It was true that enemies often meet in a narrow road.
A gust of air exploded and the crowd was pushed back.
Lu Cai steadied himself and looked at the monk. It was probably Wen An who was angry just now.
Sure enough, the young girl in front of him showed fear on her face and turned around to leave.
The monk raised his hand and threw out a string of Buddhist beads. The ink-colored beads hung in the air, the chanting sounded humming, and the Buddha's light flashed. The girl fell to the ground, and was enveloped by the golden light cast by the Buddhist beads in the air.
"You monk! How dare you hurt someone!"
There were people in the crowd who knew the girl, and seeing her attack, they could tell she was a skilled Taoist. But when a cultivator attacked a delicate woman who had just pleaded with the monk, the monk naturally thought he was being exposed for his treachery and was furious.
The monk was completely oblivious to the discussions around him. He simply raised his hand when someone approached, and that person was stopped five steps away.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't shocked. Lu Cai didn't expect Wen An to be so powerful. The last time he saw him at the Animal Farm, he was just an inconspicuous dwarf rabbit.
The woman on the ground could no longer hold on. Amid the Buddha's light and the sound of chanting, crystal clear water overflowed from her cheeks and the back of her hands, and gray-black scales gradually appeared.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air.
"It's a carp spirit." Guan Chengyu laughed twice, "It really doesn't know what's good for it. With such little cultivation, it dares to come and try to scam me."
The carp demon also realized that he had encountered a powerful opponent, and begged in a mournful voice: "Master! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again——"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Qiu Yiyi made a "tsk" sound, seeming to be very regretful.
The woman kept begging, but the monk showed no mercy. In a moment, the fish monster changed back to its original form and was sent back into the river with a wave of his sleeve.
"Master Wen An is truly compassionate." Chang Sun Jing saw that the matter had been resolved, so he walked forward with a smile, "I think that evildoer will practice meditation in the future."
After Chang Sun Jing finished speaking, he looked up and saw Wen An looking past him and behind him.
Lu Cai felt the other party's scrutiny and couldn't help but look back.
Wen An held the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "Dark horse."
Lu Cai nodded to him as a greeting. She had only met him once, when they were both in animal form, yet he had managed to recognize her.
After being surprised, I felt that there are many hidden talents among the players of KB games, and the ones who should have a headache should be the game management.
Guan Chengyu, who was standing next to the monk, turned his head suddenly when he heard the word "dark horse" and was stunned when he saw Lu Cai.
"It's you?" He looked at Lu Cai, seeming to have some doubts.
Lu Cai forced a smile and said, "Sorry for the last copy."
She didn't have any deep hatred with him, so there was no need to confront him. Of course, if he still looked like he was going to kill 666, Lu Cai wouldn't mind tying him up again.
But the other party seemed unwilling to coexist peacefully with her. When Guan Chengyu heard her voice, his brows immediately frowned. He drew out his magic sword and the sword energy swept out.
Lu Cai looked at the incoming sword energy. In her eyes, the invisible aura turned into green numbers. She stared at the numbers intently, and the green turned into red, and a hole was torn in the sword energy.
She didn't move and just brushed past the crack.
Two thin figures suddenly rushed forward, swung their swords to cut through the sword energy, and blocked Lu Cai on the left and right.
It was indeed surprising that Qiu Yiyi and Su Ye would protect her.
"The Dangshan Sect is too arrogant--" Qiu Yiyi pointed the tip of her sword at the ground and glared at Guan Chengyu angrily.
Guan Chengyu sneered: "An NPC dares to come forward——"
The voice was cut off, and a faint red thread slashed across and hit his face.
The young man swayed, a blow to the side of his face sending him stumbling a few steps away, his sword clanging to the ground. He covered his face with his hands: "You sneak attack!" She glared at Lu Cai, who shrugged innocently.
Is there anyone who doesn't know that the junior sister of Zhengqing Sect is a loser?
"If she had bothered with you, you would have chopped off your head." Wen An lowered his eyes and looked at Guan Chengyu in the distance, with no sadness or joy on his face.
Guan Chengyu was devastated: "Wen An! Teach her a lesson!"
"Why?" Wen An was puzzled.
"Because we are partners! She is in cahoots with the scavenger!" Guan Chengyu gritted his teeth in anger.
Wen An still had no expression on his face. Even though he didn't say anything, one could tell from his face that "scavengers have nothing to do with me."
Lu Cai put away the red silk thread and heard Qiu Yiyi whispering to Su Ye beside him: "What's wrong with him?"
"There is a master nearby!" Su Ye said seriously.
Lu - nearby expert - judge: "......"
"Master Wen An is three days late." Chang Sun Jing walked forward with a smile.
Wen An nodded: "There was some unusual movement in the Northern Wasteland. I went to take a look and found the Demon Nightmare."
Chang Sun Jing's smile disappeared instantly: "Are you serious?"
"I still have the remains of the Nightmare Demon in my spiritual bag." Wen An carefully untied the cloth bag from his waist and handed it to Changsun Jing.
The others approached, and Chang Sun Jing looked at the cloth bag in his hand and said, "Let's go back to the inn first."
Everyone looked unhappy. Lu Cai only heard the word "demon nightmare" and didn't know the inside story. He approached Su Ye and asked, "Senior Sister Su, what is a demon nightmare?"
Su Ye tilted her head to look at Lu Cai, her words elusive. "The Nightmare is a monster bred in the cold, dark lands of the Northern Wasteland. It resembles a tiger, but its body is the size of a hillock. It has a mouth full of sharp teeth, a body covered in sharp armor, and a long tail with barbs. It is ferocious and bloodthirsty." She was silent for a moment. "Fortunately, there aren't many of them. Each 'Nightmare Tide' only has about twenty or so."
"Kill the nightmare and you will be rewarded with points." Before they knew it, Wen An happened to be walking side by side with them.
The fact that there are points rewards means that the Nightmare is the central and key point of this copy.
Lu Cai glanced at him sideways: "You trust me."
"The forums are filled with photos of people in red-eyed Tang suits and black cloaks," Wen An replied. "I hope you're friends with the players."
Lu Cai raised an eyebrow and glanced at Guan Chengyu in the distance: "As long as your companions can calm down, I won't cause any trouble."
"He's stupid, but he's not a bad person." Wen An said calmly, "He was brainwashed some time ago, and I'm trying to save him."
