Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Snake is sick
The next day, dawn came.
It rained last night and the sky outside was wet. Mingyueyi woke up and sat on the bed, touching his neck.
The smell of perfumed powder in the room had not yet dissipated, and there was no trace of a snake crawling on the windowsill or the ground. The evil snake should not have been there, but there was still a cold and sticky residue on her neck from where it had rubbed against her.
Is it just a dream?
Or was there really a snake here?
Mingyueyi put down his hand and stood up from the couch.
Although everything in the room was normal, she still replaced all the items in the room with new ones.
Today I went to Chongritai to practice sword again, and met Pu Yuemin again.
The boy seemed to be asking about her every day and knew her whereabouts very well.
But this time he didn't go forward, but sat not far away and watched her practice sword.
Ming Yueyi's eyes would occasionally pass over him when she was practicing sword, and every time she saw him, a strange thought would cross her mind.
He sat so well, with his legs crossed and his body straight, and his appearance was so beautiful that it often gave her a strong sense of inhumanity.
Can a normal person sit still for several hours?
The body can be maintained, but what about the eyes?
Moreover, Mingyueyi felt that he was more like having a tail coiled under him than sitting.
One day, when she had almost finished practicing and saw her putting away her sword, Pu Yuemin would always come forward to hand her a handkerchief and a water bottle. His thoughtfulness was so considerate that it gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It wasn't until about five days later that she finally remembered why she felt familiar.
It was very similar to the scene before she transmigrated into the book, when she was in school and saw the boy she liked playing with a round ball. During the intermission, she offered him water. As for what kind of ball the boy was playing with, she really couldn't remember, only a vague afterimage.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall who the boy she liked was and what he looked like, but she found that she couldn't remember at all. She even forgot what her parents looked like.
While bathing at night, she lay in the bathtub, looking up at the two words engraved on the dome.
go home.
Those were the words she had to carve every time she was reborn, but in fact, she had long been unsure whether these two strange yet familiar words were carved correctly.
Maybe it was right, or maybe she didn't even notice that there was a mistake.
She had really been here for too long, long enough that the words she had learned had become rusty and she couldn't write them anymore.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she can go back, back to the peaceful life she wants, even if she loses her cultivation and the nourishment of spiritual energy, and will grow old, get sick and die, it doesn't matter.
That was the real life she was supposed to have.
-
Ming Yueyi named the sword technique he learned from the thunder in the sky: Thunder Sword Style; although he had never formally competed with others, judging from the power of the sword technique alone, it must be very strong, even far surpassing ordinary sword techniques.
After practicing for a few days, her sword skills have improved to the point that she can swing her sword freely without thinking too much just by raising her hand. At the same time, she has finally arrived at the next plot.
He Wujiu is back.
After being away for half a month, He Wujiu returned from Futu Sea.
He not only brought back news about Futu Sea, but also brought back a female monster.
But the people of Qingyun Sect could not tell that the woman was a monster. She came from Futu Sea and was born with a strong ability to conceal her aura. Only Mingyueyi, who knew the plot in advance, knew this.
The seemingly innocent and gentle girl following He Wujiu is actually a demon.
Or a snake demon.
When He Wujiu came back, he did not go back to the cave to rest, but went to see Juezhen Daojun first.
Daoist Lord Juezhen summoned her and Pu Yuemin, who were still at Fenjing Peak, to go to the main hall together.
This time, He Wujiu went to Futu Sea to investigate the matter of his uncle Cassiae and the escaped swamp butterfly monster.
There is no doubt about the death of Master Cassiae, but his purpose was not for the swamp butterfly monster, but for another thing, so the abnormality in Yun Town was not caused by the swamp butterfly monster.
"But I don't know what it is. I only know that the monsters in Futu Sea seem to have received some news and all believe that my uncle has brought something back to Qingyun Sect. So, the great monster Zhu Yan, who now controls Futu Sea, ordered his swamp butterfly monsters to hide in the major sects in an attempt to find it."
He Wujiu told the news he had gathered during this period.
Daoist Master Juezhen frowned, "But Master has already used the tracing mirror to examine Cassia Seed, and he has no memory of what he obtained from it."
He Wujiu said, "My junior sister, junior brother, and I all lost our memories in Yun Town, so perhaps my uncle was also affected by something and lost that memory."
Lord Juezhen Dao knew about this matter.
"Perhaps." Daoist Master Juezhen sighed, then turned to look at the two quiet disciples on the side and asked, "Have you discovered anything else unusual in Yun Town?"
Ming Yueyi shook his head: "Master, not yet."
Puyuemin gave the same answer.
Taoist Juezhen asked casually and was about to turn around to continue discussing matters with his eldest disciple when the disciple who had just shaken his head suddenly seemed to think of something and spoke again hesitantly.
"Master, there is something unusual."
Several people looked at Mingyueyi who spoke.
Ming Yueyi said calmly, "In Yun Town, I was nearly captured by the young master who died of tuberculosis in the Ming Mansion. That young master should have turned into a vengeful ghost because he died unwillingly, but I found that he didn't become a vengeful ghost, but a monster instead."
He Wujiu explained: "Maybe he was possessed by the butterfly demon inside."
Mingyueyi had also thought about it, but what he wanted to talk about at the moment was not Mingyi.
"Since Mingyi was stabbed to death by Senior Brother with a single sword strike, we don't know for now whether he was possessed by a butterfly demon. But Senior Brother, do you remember that besides Mingyi, there was also a snake demon in the coffin?"
He Wujiu lowered his eyelashes and thought carefully, it seemed that he really ignored the monster that had never even shown its face.
"I feel that the monster might have something to do with the great monster Zhu Yan from Futu Sea, and the amnesia and abnormalities we encountered in Yun Town might all be due to this monster." Mingyueyi uttered the whole sentence slowly.
She knew that the abnormality in Yunzhen was not caused by the monster, but Shang'er. By analogy, Zhu Yan might also want the vajra, so she now directed the abnormality to the monster.
Indeed, after careful consideration, He Wujiu felt that she was right. "That's right. The snake demon's cultivation was not small, but it never came out again after I struck it with my sword. Perhaps the abnormality in Yun Town was caused by it."
Daoist Master Juezhen turned his head to look at the young man beside him and asked, "What do you think, Min'er?"
Pu Yuemin seemed to be extremely interested in what she said, a smile forming at the corners of his eyes. When his master asked him about it, there was still a hint of laughter in his tone: "I think the same as Senior Sister. The Yunzhen was the work of that demon that escaped the net."
He spoke more confidently than the other two, and Mingyueyi couldn't help but turn his head.
The young man has a dignified appearance, beautiful hair, and the upright character of a monk.
Daoist Master Juezhen nodded and said, "Since you all agree on this, then let's wait until Wujiu has rested and Yueyi's cultivation has stabilized before we begin investigating the demon. We'll call it a day for now and each of you can go about your business."
"yes."
The three of them left the meeting hall.
As soon as she went out, before Mingyueyi had time to ask He Wujiu about what happened in Futu Sea, a beautiful figure flashed before her eyes, passed her directly, and ran straight towards He Wujiu.
"No blame."
The familiar voice was so sweet that Mingyueyi's eyes were attracted and followed it.
The girl standing in front of the young man was wearing a long Liuxian dress and her hair was combed into a bun. She seemed to have a slender figure, but her eyebrows and eyes were charming and attractive.
This is the old acquaintance that I meet in every life - Xia Niang.
"Junior sister, this is Xia Niang."
He Wujiu's voice overlapped with the name in her memory.
Mingyueyi blinked away the mist in front of her eyes and looked at the female demon, Xia Niang, who was hiding behind him not far away and looking at her with her head tilted.
Xia Niang was a female demon whom she once envied more than jealous of. He Wujiu treated her very differently. Even if she put the evidence that Xia Niang was a demon in front of him, he would only say "Junior sister, stop making trouble."
At that time, she thought that He Wujiu had been bewitched by a monster. After dying several times, she realized that He Wujiu didn't care whether Xia Niang was a monster or not.
Ming Yueyi smiled at the woman: "Miss Xia, my name is Ming Yueyi."
Xia Niang smiled timidly at her: "Xia Niang."
The atmosphere between the two was too bland. Xia Niang had little interest in Ming Yueyi. Instead, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the lonely and arrogant young man beside her.
When she saw his face clearly, Xia Niang's eyes flashed with surprise.
What a beautiful skin.
"Wujiu, is this the junior brother you mentioned before?" Xia Niang took the initiative and even turned around to ask He Wujiu urgently.
Junior brother is handsome. No matter whether they are from the sect or others, they will show this expression when they see him. He Wujiu has long been accustomed to it.
He said, "This is my junior fellow apprentice, Pu Yuemin."
Bodhisattva.
Xia Niang whispered the name between her lips and teeth, her body becoming uncontrollable with excitement.
I want to spit out my tongue, turn into a snake’s tail, I want to worship…
Xia Niang felt a prick in the tip of her tongue from the sharp teeth that popped out, and she immediately came back to her senses from her recent loss of control. Seeing Ming Yueyi, who was chatting with the young man, with his eyes on her, a cold sweat rose on her back.
Have you been discovered?
Probably not, her teeth are not fully exposed yet.
Xia Niang carefully hid her excited fangs.
Ming Yueyi seemed to be just casually glancing at him, not noticing the demonic expression on Xia Niang's face that almost revealed her true form. He turned his gaze to He Wujiu and said, "Brother, you just came back. Go back and rest first."
"Okay." He Wujiu turned his head and called to the dazed woman, "Xia Niang?"
Xia Niang came back to her senses and gave him a brilliant smile, "Wu Jiu, are we going back?"
Xia Niang was brought back by him, so naturally she lived in his cave.
He Wujiu nodded: "I'll take you to your residence first."
Xia Niang smiled obediently and followed him.
Before leaving, she waved to Ming Yueyi and said, "See you next time, Ming Daojun."
"Yeah." Mingyueyi smiled faintly.
Xia Niang's eyes swept across her calm and indifferent face, and she muttered in her heart, how come she doesn't care at all.
Xia Niang followed He Wujiu and walked a little further away before quietly sticking close to him. She asked worriedly, "Did your junior sister find out?"
He Wujiu didn't lower his neck to cooperate with her, his voice was gentle and cold: "No, Junior Sister hates monsters, especially snake monsters. If you are discovered, there is no way you can survive."
Xia Niang curled her lips and glanced at the female cultivator who had turned around behind her. She couldn't help but poke He Wujiu's waist again and continued in a low voice, "I've heard you talk about your junior brothers and sisters before, and among them, this junior sister named Mingyueyi has been mentioned the most. I thought you two were having an affair, but I didn't expect her to be so calm when she saw another woman with you. It seems that she doesn't like you either."
"Xia Ji."
It was unknown what words had displeased the man. His usually calm brows furrowed into a cold arc, and his tone hinted indifferently that she had said too much.
Xia Niang rolled her charming eyes and covered her mouth, pretending to know she was wrong. "You don't have to argue with me, Taoist Wujiu. I was just saying it casually."
He Wujiu's expression eased slightly, and he said calmly, "Junior sister has been with me since she was a child. We only have a brother-sister relationship. Don't say such things next time, especially in front of her."
Xia Niang nodded vigorously: "I know, I know."
She agreed verbally, but secretly complained that it was a brother-sister relationship, but she didn't think it looked like that.
But Xia Niang would not remind him, and would be happy to see the cold and aloof swordsman who is now Wuchen be in trouble because of love one day. It would be very interesting at that time.
Xia Niang licked her lower lips excitedly.
He Wujiu glanced at the evil aura that Xia Niang was hiding, and reminded her to cover it up well, because if it was exposed, he would directly take her inner elixir.
Xia Niang nodded obediently, but she disagreed in her heart.
She didn't mention what happened just now along the way, but He Wujiu was thinking about it.
His junior sister didn't seem to care much about him. He thought that his junior sister would behave abnormally to some extent, so he had already thought of an excuse when he decided to take Xia Niang to Fenjing Peak. However, he hasn't used a single word so far.
He Wujiu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he stopped thinking about it.
Mingyueyi, who was still outside the meeting hall, looked at the young man who had stood beside him without him noticing: "What's wrong?"
Pu Yuemin lowered her eyelashes, and her beautiful eyes and eyebrows were filled with indescribable joy: "Senior Sister, I will not bring anyone back."
He is very obedient and only knows how to kill. He kills all the monsters and people that make his senior sister unhappy. He listens to his senior sister more than anyone else in the world.
This was a strange thing to say. Mingyue glanced at him and turned around and said, "It doesn't matter whether you bring anyone back or not. In fact, you should also make more friends with female monks like the eldest brother."
Instead of following her around all day and always saying that he wanted to practice dual cultivation with her.
Apparently, the young man beside her did not seem to have listened to her cryptic words, and only picked out the first half that he wanted to hear.
He raised his eyebrows, "Really? Senior Sister doesn't care about the people Senior Brother brought back?"
Ming Yueyi nodded and looked up at him sincerely: "Yes, it's true."
Whether she didn't care about He Wujiu bringing people back, or suggested that he make more friends with female cultivators, these were her heartfelt words, and she really didn't mind.
Pu Yuemin received the affirmation and stopped asking. Instead, he asked, "Senior Sister, are you still going to Chongritai to practice sword?"
"Yes." Mingyueyi nodded.
You can go without food for a day, but you must practice sword fighting.
She was used to having Pu Yuemin by her side when she practiced sword, and now that he was with her, she tacitly allowed him to go along.
It is a day off today, so there are not many monks practicing sword skills on Chongritai.
Ming Yueyi had just taken out his sword to practice when the young man who was sitting on the stone platform not far away as usual suddenly bent over and fell down, making an unusually rapid sound in his throat.
“Senior Sister…”
Ming Yueyi turned around when she heard the voice, and saw the young man sitting on the ground with a rosy face, looking at her with his pure black eyes, and his thin lips seemed to be stained with a rosy charm.
Because of the distance, Mingyueyi couldn't hear what he was saying. Seeing that something was wrong, he hesitated for a few seconds before putting down the sword in his hand and walking towards the stone platform where he was.
Mingyueyi knelt down and helped him up: "What's wrong with you?"
"Senior sister, you're sick again." Pu Yuemin leaned against the stone and whispered to her with an indifferent smile on his lips.
Calling the fox demon poison "disease" was a secret code used by the two to prevent exposure.
More than ten days later, the second attack came so suddenly.
