Chapter 1: Snake's forgotten junior brother returns
Yao Feixi/Works
early morning.
Fenjing Peak is the highest immortal residence of Qingyun Sect. There are cranes chirping on the top of the peak all year round and auspicious clouds lingering around. It has a more deserted and immortal aura than the other three peaks.
Mingyueyi came back and handed the jade token to the disciples of the mountain gate. While waiting for the task to be completed, he couldn't help but lower his head and sniff the scent on his body.
The smell of snake demon blood.
The snakes in Baihua Valley will start to go into heat in spring. Once your body is stained with snake blood, no matter how much you wash it, you will always feel the cold fishy smell of heat all over your body.
Mingyueyi couldn't stand the smell, so he dragged his tired body and planned to go back to clean the snake venom off his body.
Returning to the cave, she dripped some deodorizing scaly flower juice into the bathtub, took off her clothes stained with snake blood, and stepped into the pool naked.
The fatigue of several days was finally relieved a little in the hot water. Mingyueyi leaned on the edge of the pool with his head raised, opened his eyes in the swirling mist and looked at the two words engraved on the dome.
go home.
Unlike the complex fonts commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation, it is as simple as a casually carved array pattern.
Although these two words are simple, she is the only one in this world who knows them.
Mingyueyi has always been hiding a secret that no one knows.
First, on the day she started practicing the ruthless path, she decisively cut off her emotional ties in order to keep the path clear.
Secondly, she is not from this world, and the world before her does not really exist. It is just a novel that she happened to enter just after reading the ending.
The title of the book is "Senior Brother's Journey to Immortality", a male-oriented immortal cultivation novel told from the perspective of the male protagonist He Wujiu.
And she, Mingyueyi, was the cannon fodder junior sister who was sacrificed as a sword when He Wujiu was practicing the ruthless way at the mountain gate in his early days.
Initially, she learned that she was just a stepping stone for the male protagonist to succeed. She tried to struggle several times, but failed every time. She returned to the day when she first entered the book and was accepted as a disciple by her master, becoming the male protagonist's junior sister.
The first time she entered the book, she knew nothing and followed what was written in the book. She was accepted as a disciple by her master, met the male protagonist, and was sacrificed with a sword.
The second time she was reborn after death, she learned her lesson and avoided being accepted as a disciple by her master. However, she had only been hiding for a few days when she encountered monsters everywhere and was nearly eaten by a monster without leaving even a bone. On the way to being rescued by the male protagonist, she successfully completed the sword sacrifice.
The third time she was reborn after death, she decisively cut off her emotional ties and devoted herself to the Tao. She avoided the master she was supposed to worship and turned to worship another master who was not a sword cultivator.
Unexpectedly, her senior brother is still the male lead.
She was sacrificed to the sword.
She was reborn after death for the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh time... Today, this is her tenth rebirth.
The previous nine times he was repeatedly reborn by the sword sacrifice, as if he was under some kind of curse that he could not escape or break.
Fortunately, every time she was reborn through the sword sacrifice, it was not in vain. She had roughly figured out the reason and how to avoid the cycle again.
Ming Yueyi leaned against the edge of the pool, carefully thinking about the things that had happened recently and had happened several times. On the surface, they seemed no different from the previous times, but in fact, there had been subtle changes.
She not only secretly saved her junior sister, who had always been jealous of her in her previous rebirths, but also warmly cared for her for half a year during the recent illusion experience, even though her junior sister had always been indifferent to her and mocked her from time to time.
But ever since her junior sister accidentally saw from the photo ball that she 'accidentally' dropped that it was her who saved her in the illusion, she no longer treats her like she did in the previous times.
This time, when he heard that her mission was to go to Baihua Valley to eliminate the snake demon, he sent her a greeting letter out of concern.
And countless other small things—not big changes, but changes nonetheless.
Since many things can be subtly influenced by small things, she thought that the ending of the sword sacrifice could also be changed.
So now as long as the male protagonist dies, she will become a god and break away from the rules of heaven.
Ming Yueyi was lowering her eyelids, counting the things that had changed recently in her mind, and she did not notice that the window that was originally tightly closed was pushed open by something.
Several small white snakes came in from outside and spread in all directions like shadows stretched by the spring morning.
The snake's slender body crawled out of the window and into the blue shirt and white satin skirt that was casually thrown beside the bathtub and was stained with snake blood.
Blood……
It is the blood of snake hair after estrus.
The little white snake squirmed in the satin skirt, its red eyes gradually standing up, but it was not obsessed with the smell of snake blood, but directly passed through the clothes and flowed into the pool like a drop of invisible water.
Mingyueyi finally figured out what had happened recently. Just as he was about to go look for He Wujiu after the smell of snake blood had dissipated, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes falling on him.
That gaze was gloomy and sticky, as if it had transformed into a pair of real hands, caressing every part of her body excitedly.
It was so strange that she shivered all over while soaking in the water.
That kind of gaze again.
After coming out of the Hundred Flowers Valley, she always had this strange illusion, as if she was being stared at by something invisible.
Ming Yueyi's eyes became fierce, and without thinking, he summoned the sword hanging on the rack and slashed at the surroundings indiscriminately.
The sword passed by like a long shadow, and soon many snakes that were chopped into pieces fell from the curtains, the dome, the seats and the corners.
Looking at the snakes on the ground, Mingyueyi frowned.
Where did the snake come from?
She remembered that although the cave was close to the purple bamboo forest, snakes, insects, ants and beasts could not enter because of the barrier set up there.
Could it be...hiss!
Ming Yueyi suddenly gasped, and lowered her eyes sharply through the misty water surface, and saw a snow-white snake as thin as a thread wrapped around her thigh.
The snake that had come into the water from somewhere was licking her skin with its tongue and water.
When she saw the snake, her scalp went numb. She hurriedly reached out to grab the snake, pinching the snake's vital points with her tiger's mouth and trying to pull it out of the water, but the snake's tail tightly gripped the soft flesh on her thigh.
She hated these boneless, slippery and cold snakes. Seeing that she couldn't pull them away, she simply cut the snake wrapped around her thigh into two pieces.
But even though the snake's body was cut off, the tail wrapped around her thigh was still tightly wrapped around her, lingering as if it wanted to slowly kill her.
Mingyueyi threw the snake's head onto the edge of the pool and cut off the remaining tail without moving his brows.
After dealing with the snake, she got up from the water, put on the dress placed on the screen, walked to the window, opened it, and looked outside.
There is no barrier.
Because she came back in a hurry and was only concerned with washing the snake blood off her body, she didn't notice that the barrier she had set up earlier had loosened.
No wonder snakes came in. They probably smelled the snake blood.
Mingyueyi made new seals and set up a new barrier, then turned his head to look at the mess in the house, holding his forehead with a headache.
Although these unintelligent snakes did not have a strong odor like the snake demons in estrus in Baihua Valley, the sight of snake carcasses all around was also disgusting.
Fortunately, she had just returned from Baihua Valley and still had some realgar powder on her.
Mingyueyi found realgar powder from the mustard bag and sprinkled it around the cave, then summoned the spirit servant to clear out all the snakes in the house.
After taking another bath and the strong smell of snake blood was no longer on her body, she walked out of the cave and headed towards He Wujiu's cave.
In front of Liusen Cave.
Mingyueyi stood at the door and looked up at the plaque above.
The Lusen Cave Mansion was not called Lusen before, but had no nameplate like her. She asked He Wujiu to change it to the name she came up with, and he has been using it until now.
Mingyueyi withdrew his gaze and stepped over the stairs.
He Wujiu's sword servant was squatting in the yard playing with his sword. Suddenly he felt someone breaking in, so he raised his finger and slashed with the sword in his hand.
The cold sword drew a sharp chill in the air, heading straight for Mingyueyi who was coming in.
Before she could raise her hand to block the sword, a slender hand suddenly emerged from the air and grabbed the sword that was stabbing at her.
The sword made a buzzing sound and then disappeared from the spot.
All that remained in the yard was the lingering sound of swords and a sword servant kneeling on the ground with a sad face.
Everything that just happened happened so fast that Mingyueyi stood there and blinked before realizing what had happened.
He Wujiu has become stronger again. She has only been away for two months, but he can already tear through space through the air and make it look real.
In a few years, I'm afraid it will be even worse.
Mingyueyi lowered his eyelashes and looked at the sword servant in front of him.
The little sword servant is a bamboo spirit, who was collected by his senior brother from the purple bamboo forest outside her cave. However, she had not yet joined the Qingyun Sect when he collected her.
Ming Yueyi asked him to get up and asked, "Xiao Zhu, isn't my senior brother here?"
Xiao Zhu shook his head: "No, I was summoned by the Sword Master not long ago."
"Master, what does Senior Brother want to do?" Ming Yueyi was puzzled and took out the green rice dumpling he bought in the mortal world at the foot of the mountain from his storage bag and gave it to him.
Xiao Zhu happily took it and took a bite, squinting his eyes and said, "The Sword Master's new disciple has been vomiting blood for no apparent reason, so the Sword Master summoned the Master to take a look."
Ming Yueyi looked over in confusion: "Which junior brother?"
How could she not remember that her master had an apprentice who was more important than He Wujiu, and who was even willing to spit out blood in order to make him go there in person?
Xiao Zhu uttered an "ah" and explained to her while biting the green ball, "Ming Dao-jun just returned. I didn't know that not long ago, Jian Zun brought back a young man from outside and accepted him as his disciple. So, he is now the youngest disciple in our Fen Jing Peak. Where is your junior brother?"
The youngest junior brother...
Mingyueyi remembered.
She seemed to have a junior brother, but in the cycle of constant death and rebirth, the master only accepted a fragile junior brother in the first life, who almost became one of the biggest obstacles in the early stage for the male protagonist to break through the realm and become an immortal with the ruthless way.
It’s not because the junior brother is a villain, but because his talent is so terrifying and weird, even better than the male protagonist. He is a genius who can break through the realm even by drinking water or eating.
However, such a genius disappeared very early. Without the talent of his junior brother to suppress the hero, the hero broke through his cultivation level all the way, found the big monster that was rumored to be able to destroy the world, saved the world of cultivation, and became the only true god who cultivated the ruthless sword to achieve the great way.
The book did not elaborate on why the junior brother disappeared, but Mingyueyi knew.
In order to ensure a smooth journey for her senior brother, she lured him to the basement of the cave without telling anyone else, and imprisoned him with a soul-locking chain. Not only that, she also strangled him from the spiritual to the physical.
She didn't release him until her senior brother sacrificed his sword for her.
The junior brother who was not released had no spiritual power and became a mortal who was subject to birth, old age, sickness and death. After her death, no one released him, and he probably died in there. In the next few lives, she was busy breaking the ending and no longer paid attention to him.
Upon learning that He Wujiu had been sent away by his master, Mingyueyi originally planned to return to the cave and wait for the person to come back to find him.
Before she left the Lusen Cave, Sword Master Juezhen's crane landed on her shoulder and summoned her over.
Ming Yueyi sighed softly and patted Xianhe's head, "Tell Master I'll be right over."
The crane cried out to the sky and flew away with its wings spread.
Mingyueyi followed on his sword and soon landed in front of the door of a newly opened cave.
This is a newly opened cave, and even the barrier has not been set up yet, so it is also nameless.
Ming Yueyi hesitated and walked for a few steps. When he stood at the door and was about to push it open, his raised hand suddenly stopped.
She had only imprisoned her junior brother in her first life. In the following lives, she was concerned about how to change the outcome and avoid her senior brother. She never took the initiative to provoke him, so she gradually forgot about him.
What is your junior brother’s name?
Ming Yueyi thought carefully for a long time and finally found the name of his junior brother from the depths of his forgotten memory.
Bodhisattva.
