Chapter 60 Not Very Polite

When the bells rang, Lin Du was practicing spiritual skills with his master.

The winter in the Supreme Sect is exceptionally long, but for both the master and the disciple, it is an excellent season for cultivation.

The bell rang only once, but Lin Du quickly stood up.

"The sect has summoned me, Master. I'll go first."

Yan Ye nodded perfunctorily, "Hurry up and come back soon. If you come back injured because of such a low-level mission, I will really look down on you."

That is the bell used by the Supreme Sect to summon all the existing disciples in the sect. One ring is for low-level cultivators, three rings are for cultivators above the third level, and so on.

Lindu is within the forbidden area, some distance from the main peak, and will be the last one to arrive.

He Gui's expression was not as kind as when they first met at the Zhongzhou election. Instead, he looked solemn and was talking to those disciples. When he saw Lin Du coming, his eyes softened slightly.

"Actually, it's okay if Junior Sister doesn't come."

Lin Du waved his hands, "Don't try to be so rude. I'm not a porcelain doll that will break if touched. What's the matter?"

He Gui continued to talk. After all, the danger was not too high, otherwise he would not have asked disciples of lower realms to do it.

"The nearby Heding Village sent a distress signal to the sect, saying that a demon beast had come down the mountain and injured people. You should go check it out first and protect the village and their spiritual fields. If you catch it, tie it up and bring it back to the beast farm for you to practice fighting."

In winter, it is common for hungry beasts to come down the mountain and injure people. Generally, there are no big monsters around here. They are all monsters that have not yet transformed and are in the stage of awakening intelligence.

As a large sect, it enjoys the nourishment of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth and concentrates the resources for cultivation, not just to train a group of powerful cultivators who are more powerful than anyone else, but to protect the spiritual world, the sect's territory, and those ordinary people with poor spiritual roots.

The high platform of the righteous path is always littered with corpses, and saving the world and saving people is the Taoist tradition passed down from generation to generation.

They have the responsibility to protect people and the world.

"What if we can't tie it back?" Yuan Ye asked.

A man-eating monster is not a good beast that can be captured obediently. Even if it is the pigs and Shu Yan they raised, it will take at least half an hour to catch and kill them.

"Then just kill the chef for extra food." Lin Du replied with a smile. She was very familiar with this job.

He Gui smiled and glanced at Lin Du, "Junior Sister is right."

Ni Jinxuan followed up and said, "Master Junior is right!"

Heding Village was not far away. The group of six did not even take the flying boat. The four people who had not yet reached the third level of Tengyun Realm summoned their flying instruments and followed Mo Lin and Tian Wu all the way, their robes rustling in the wind.

It had just snowed heavily, and the ground was covered with thick frost. The sky was still gray and had a hazy halo.

Flying in such weather was not too dazzling. Tian Wu was not afraid of the children laughing and whistling in the wind, so he forced them to wrap scarves around their mouths and noses.

"This is the first time we have received a mission from a sect." Yuan Ye was inexplicably excited, and he did not forget to speak even though he was covering his face with a scarf.

Yan Qing calmly replied, "I don't know whether it's a blind bear or a golden tiger, but we can finally have a proper fight."

Lin Du tilted his head and glanced at the oldest of the four new disciples. "I remember you said you were a scholar."

"Young Master, you don't understand. In the northern part of Zhongzhou, all the cultivators who have practiced physical skills want to kill a tiger to prove themselves." Yan Qing spoke in a muffled voice through the gauze scarf.

Scholars can convince others with reason, but they have to be human beings.

Mo Lin nodded in agreement.

Lin Du really doesn't understand these two straight men.

She turned to look at Yuan Ye, who was not a local a year ago. His eyes were particularly bright at the moment. "Great, fight the tiger! I want to ride on a tiger and fight!"

Lin Du: ...Forget it, they are just a bunch of naughty kids.

"But I'm afraid I'll be disappointed when I get there, after all, ferocious beasts are rare. The last time I came here, I found that the village was only opened because the neighbor's dog liked to steal the chickens and eat them in a rude manner, leaving chicken feathers and blood all over the floor. As a result, the villagers thought it was a wild beast from the mountain that came down to hurt people."

Mo Lin sighed, and his face suddenly showed a bit of weathered look.

Yuan Ye was a little disappointed. "Then what?"

"After we investigated for a day and caught the dog, the two families started arguing and almost came to blows. In order to mediate, our senior brother stood between the two families and ended up having eggs and rotten cabbage leaves thrown on his head."

There is no opening to supplement the road in summer.

Lin Du glanced at the tall and handsome young man standing in the front and tried to hold back, but then he thought of the man wearing the veil and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Thank you, Second Junior Brother, otherwise it would be somewhat impolite.

Heding Village was indeed not far away, only a dozen miles away from Dingjiu City, and the group arrived there quickly with laughter.

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

The strong smell of blood in the air indicated that an attack had just taken place.

The six people took out their own magic treasures at the same time, with cold expressions.

The strong wind blew across the snow-covered path, blowing up a swirling cloud of snow powder. Seen from high above, the scattered low countryside courtyards should have been peaceful and tranquil, but now the snow piled up in front of the house and no one had cleared the way out. The cold light reflected from the snow was somewhat dazzling.

A short, empty and helpless cry was heard.

“Ah…Ah…”

The sound was like the sound squeezed out of the throat of a stunned person, who had lost the ability to speak and was left with only the original instinct.

Lin Du has lived in Luoze for many years and was not affected by the cold light. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and locked onto one place.

“There.”

She took the lead in using her mind to mobilize the magic weapon and move it towards the chaotic area. The tip of the dark green bamboo leaf bent in the air, leaving a white spiritual tail in the air.

"I am Lin Du, a disciple of the Supreme Sect."

Lin Du landed in the courtyard, paused, and just stated his identity without saying anything else.

The door was wide open, and a middle-aged woman was kneeling on the ground, trying hopelessly over and over again to pick up some traces of her relatives from the broken flesh on the ground.

Lin Du did not move, but stood quietly at the door for a long time before speaking, "Sorry, please accept my condolences. We will catch the monster."

Because it was just the Chinese New Year, red Chinese characters for "Fu" and couplets were still hung on the door of the house. This is a custom in the village and is rarely seen in the city.

At this moment, those joyous blessings have turned into a sarcastic and eye-catching red, and a corner of it was blown away by the cold wind.

The people in the house suddenly turned around, and their faces, which had turned purple from the snow and wind, showed a sense of emptiness and despair. The woman murmured in a low voice, "My child, my child!"

She came to her senses and finally burst into tears.

"You, why are you also late!!! My child!!!"

Lin Du turned his head away in silence, arriving a step too late.

There are always many things in life that come late.

But she soon noticed the words in that sentence, what did...also mean?

Yuan Ye stood in the courtyard, took a look inside, and then frowned.

He has never liked blood and gore, and even after watching it countless times, he still can't get used to it.
