Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Snake Charm
Mingyueyi sent the man back and took the body to find his master.
When I arrived, a meeting was going on in the main hall.
The masters of the four major peaks, the twelve elders, and even the sect leader were all present.
Not knowing what had happened, so many people came. Mingyueyi waited outside the hall. After the elders and the heads of the peaks left, she followed the sword spirit into the inner hall.
The master was standing in front of the incense burner, deep in thought.
"master."
Daojun Juezhen came back to his senses, turned around and sat on the chair, waving his hand for her to sit down as well: "Why are you so anxious?"
Mingyueyi knelt down on the mat and took out the corpse from the mustard seed.
Taoist Juezhen paused for a moment when his gaze fell on the half-demon corpse.
Mingyueyi told the story of what happened not long ago. After hearing it, Daoist Master Juezhen was silent for a long time, muttering absentmindedly, "How could it happen again?"
Mingyueyi didn't know what he was referring to and looked at his dazed master in confusion.
Daoist Master Juezhen ordered his attendant spirits to carry the body away and asked, "Besides you, does anyone else know about this?"
Not long ago, there was a rumor that a great demon had appeared in the world. The demon has not been found yet, and now a swamp butterfly demon that can parasitize the human body has appeared. Once the news gets out, it will definitely cause chaos.
Ming Yueyi thought for a moment and said truthfully, "There is also a blind inner sect disciple from Fen Jing Peak."
"A blind inner sect disciple?" Daoist Master Juezhen frowned, revealing a hint of confusion.
A blind person is still suitable for sword cultivation. If he can become an inner disciple, he will definitely be a top-notch cultivator. But he didn't know it.
Fenjing Peak had many disciples, and he didn't intend to understand every one of them. Therefore, he didn't dwell on it for long. He nodded and said, "Master already knows. Please don't spread this matter to anyone else for now."
"Disciple knows." Mingyueyi understood the pros and cons.
Taoist Juezhen asked her to go down first, and looked at the demon corpse alone in the hall. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his hands trembled slightly.
More and more disciples have been parasitized. If this continues, they will probably be parasitized and devoured by the monsters in the Futu Sea before the world-destroying monster predicted by their ancestors appears.
Is this retribution from heaven?
With this in mind, Taoist Juezhen went to the Demon Locking Tower. Only after he was sure that no one had moved the things suppressed underneath did he feel relieved.
Ever since Mingyueyi found the monster that parasitized the human body, she noticed that strange things were happening frequently in the sect.
I don't know who started the rumor, but someone was raising monsters at the foot of the sect's mountain. Many disciples had vaguely seen snake monsters at night when they went out. The snake monsters would lure them into dense bamboo at midnight and suck the spiritual energy out of their bodies.
This incident alarmed the clan leader, who ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
When Mingyueyi learned about this, he thought the snake demon was alive again.
Based on what the disciple who had just been brought back from the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain said last night, she went down the mountain at midnight and waited outside the forest.
The main peak of Qingyun Sect is Fenjing Peak, standing on the top of a high mountain. It is said that the peak was formed from the flesh and bones of the ancestor, and was named after the ancestor Fenjing. Therefore, the fairy air is in contrast to the mountain below which is not covered by spiritual energy.
It was a cold and gloomy midnight, with thick fog spreading. Although Mingyueyi's vision was obstructed, the vision of a cultivator was far superior to that of an ordinary person.
She saw a young man holding a lantern standing in the dark bamboo forest.
The hazy candlelight seemed to have seeped into ink, and the surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog and permeated with a chilling cold.
He walked step by step into the black fog, the jade token on his waist buzzing.
That is the jade token of a disciple from Fenjing Peak.
Ming Yueyi didn't expect that before he could see the snake demon, he would run into the disciples of Fenjing Peak holding lanterns and walking into the forest by themselves.
She saw that her disciple's steps were staggering and unsteady, which seemed abnormal. Perhaps he was confused by the monster in the bamboo forest.
Mingyueyi thought for a few moments, first sent a message to He Wujiu, and then followed quietly behind him.
The damp and cold air deep in the bamboo forest is much worse than outside. The deeper you go, the more you see a small bamboo house. Two red lanterns are hung under the plaque outside the door.
Ming Yueyi watched the young man standing in front of the door. He raised his pale hand, placed it on the door frame, and pushed it forward.
The door opened a crack due to the force.
He didn't pick up the threshold and go in. Instead, he stood there and asked softly, "Is Miss Qing here? Senior Brother Gu is busy today, so I'll take his place and deliver the lantern to you."
There was no sound coming from the house. Mingyueyi, who was hiding in the dark, felt vaguely that his voice was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere. Before she could think about it, the young man raised his voice and asked again because he didn't hear anyone's response.
"Is Miss Qing in the mansion? If she is not here, I will return to the mountain gate first."
Finally, there was a noise in the house.
An eight-foot-long green snake suddenly broke out of the door, and its snake face, spitting out its tongue, appeared in front of him, forming an enchanting contrast with the cold and gloomy energy in the forest.
He was unaware of it, and smiled as he saw her finally come out. "Miss Qing, I've already put your lantern at the door."
The snake demon's face moved closer to him again. He didn't even try to retreat. He just paused and said inexplicably, "Miss Qing, is that you? There seems to be something strange about you."
blind.
Mingyueyi finally realized that the boy was blind. The green snake demon also discovered it and opened its bloody mouth to swallow him.
Just as the snake demon was about to devour the boy, a sword intent attacked the snake demon, and it barely dodged it by moving back in time.
The snake demon seemed particularly annoyed when the food that was about to reach its mouth was suddenly interrupted. However, when it turned its head in anger and saw the young man falling from the sword, its pupils suddenly turned into black lines.
He Wujiu's boot tip landed on the ground, and Bai Ji held it in his hand. He glanced coldly at the snake demon not far away, and said in a calm tone: "Demon, don't harm others."
After saying that, he swung his sword again.
The snake demon knew that it was no match for the young man, so it wanted to wrap its tail around him and run away with him.
But before the tail could touch the boy, the tip of the tail was cut off by another sword.
The snake demon screamed.
Mingyueyi promptly pulled the confused young man standing in front of the door behind her, and looked at the green snake that had lost its tail with vigilance in her beautiful eyes.
The snake demon didn't expect that the two cultivators were coming. It glanced at the young man behind Mingyueyi and had to give up first to save its life. It shook its broken tail to make the fog in the bamboo forest bigger.
The vision of several people was obstructed, and the air was filled with a strong and damp demonic aura. Before He Wujiu went to chase the demon, he told Mingyueyi to cover his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the demonic aura.
After the thick fog dissipated, the bamboo forest had returned to normal, and He Wujiu and the snake demon were nowhere to be seen.
Mingyueyi put down his hand and wanted to turn around to talk to the boy, but he fell speechless when he saw his face clearly.
The boy has long eyebrows, thin eyes and rosy lips. It is clearly an ordinary face, but for some reason he looks like a piece of beautiful jade.
This person was the junior fellow student I met before.
He lowered his eyes to meet hers, his eyes dull. He raised his hand to touch the outline of her face as if to identify her features. After feeling out her bones, he raised his voice in surprise, "Senior Sister?"
Mingyueyi's heart sank instantly.
The boy said his name was Xiao Yi. He was originally meditating in his room, but his senior brother who lived with him told him that he had something to do and could not go down the mountain to return a lantern he had borrowed from a girl, so he asked him for help. Unexpectedly, he encountered a snake demon.
The young boy Xiao Yi smiled gently and said, "Luckily I met Senior Sister. Thank you for saving me."
His face was filled with gratitude, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he looked as childish as an extremely shy little boy, his face turning red after talking to others for a few words.
Entrusting the lantern to a blind man, Mingyueyi fell silent upon hearing this.
The young man drooped his long eyelashes shyly, trembling slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister, I'm afraid I will encounter the snake demon on the way back. I wonder if I can ask you to take me back?"
"Okay." She agreed. After all, the snake demon had He Wujiu, and she also wanted to go back to Fenjing Peak.
Mingyueyi once again sent him back to the inner disciples' courtyard.
Just as she was about to leave, the boy grabbed her wrist for no reason.
His body temperature was icy cold. Mingyueyi shivered when he touched her bones, and now her scalp was numb from the cold.
She turned her head calmly: "Junior brother, is there anything else?"
The boy's dark pupils were dull and lifeless, but there were faint ripples at the corners of his peach blossom eyes. His red lips curved up, "Nothing, I just wanted to thank you, Senior Sister, for sending me back. Senior Sister, would you like to come with me into the house for a cup of tea?"
He was wearing thin clothes, and when he raised his hand, his collar opened, revealing the skin below his collarbone, which was as white as cream, and his earlobes were lovely red.
He looks like a clean young man.
Mingyueyi stared at the skin under his clothes and didn't say anything for a while.
The boy bit his lower lip, slowly took her hand, and led her into the house.
"Senior Sister, you are the best person I have ever met. They all despise me because I am blind and don't interact with me. I can't do many of my homework and I can't practice sword well. Senior Sister, come in and have a cup of tea with me. I will help you relax first and then you can teach me how to practice sword, okay?"
"Do you like practicing sword?" Mingyueyi followed him.
He nodded obediently: "Yeah."
Ming Yueyi said: "Since you like it, I can let my senior brother teach you swordsmanship. He has the best swordsmanship."
The young man paused, shook his head at her with a rosy face, and said softly, "I only like to practice swordplay with Senior Sister. I want to practice swordplay with her, which is a style that only men and women can practice."
Ming Yueyi stared at his increasingly strangely beautiful face and asked, "Why?"
He rubbed her palm with his cold thumb and said with some difficulty, "Because ever since I met Senior Sister, I often dream of practicing sword with her."
The boy's cryptic description made Mingyueyi silent again.
"Senior Sister." He raised his eyes, his lips red and teeth white, charming. "I have never practiced sword with others. I am very clean. Not only can I relieve Senior Sister from the fatigue of daily training, but I also have no friends because I can't see. I only have Senior Sister."
Ming Yueyi took a deep breath, suppressed his composure, and politely declined: "Sorry, cultivation is the most relaxing thing in the world for me. I never feel tired, and I have many friends."
"Is that so?" He looked disappointed. "Then how should I thank Senior Sister for saving me?"
Ming Yueyi pulled away the young man's hand and said, "Fellow disciples, there's no need to thank me."
The warm and soft hand was completely pulled away, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and his hand subconsciously chased after it.
Ming Yueyi avoided his hand and said, "Junior brother, please have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."
"Hmm..." He stood in front of her with a dignified demeanor, his temperament as gentle as jade.
Mingyueyi glanced at his face and turned away.
After she left for a long time, he still stood there. Fireflies emerged from under the grass leaves, lingering around him, and also made his dim eyes look strange.
The senior sister called him junior brother.
He raised his hand, smiled, and bit the finger that had touched Mingyueyi. He exerted force between his teeth, and the sharp snake teeth pierced the thin flesh. Blood flowed from the bite wound across the pale wrist.
He seemed to have lost his perception, chewing his fingers, with reluctance in his radiant peach blossom eyes.
But this hand that had touched his senior sister could not satisfy his hungry desire. His sickly pale face under the cold moon was flushed by the suppressed desire, and his breath was disordered.
Finally, he couldn't help but fell to the ground, dug out the eyeballs that had seen her, and kissed them carefully on his lips.
