Chapter 048
But even though he's domineering, his habit of setting a flag isn't very good. It feels like when he said this, it was as if he was saying: Our master is gone...
Cheng Hui covered his face silently.
"What is your Xuan corpse...doing?" Senior Brother Zhang stared at Cheng Hui in confusion.
Why is this little junior brother's Xuan corpse so strange? He has never seen such a strange Xuan corpse that likes to wander around...
"It's nothing, senior brother, don't worry about the details." Lin Qingyang casually dealt with Zhang Yifan.
At this time, Cheng Hui felt that the two men had arrived, and hurriedly pulled Lin Qingyang's sleeve.
Lin Qingyang's heart moved, and he said seriously: "Big Brother, they are here."
"Okay, I'll capture them right now. I want to see who is so brave." Zhang Yifan rubbed his hands together, and when the woman in the green skirt controlled the woman in the yellow skirt to enter the yard, he slapped her to the ground.
The woman in the green dress was severely injured and bleeding profusely. The woman in the yellow dress also suffered a certain amount of backlash. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, her dull eyes became bright. She glanced around at the situation and suddenly showed an expression of relief.
"You've done well." Zhang Yifan praised: "Rest well these few days, and this bottle of Pure Yuan Pill is yours as a reward! If you can establish your foundation within ten years, I will accept you as a registered disciple."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang." The woman in the yellow skirt was overjoyed. Becoming Zhang Yifan's disciple was like a leap to heaven for them, the menial workers.
Although Zhang Yifan proposed that she would accept him only after she had established her foundation, but just based on this sentence, no one dared to bully her again, at least within these Thirteen Peaks.
"Go ahead."
The woman in the yellow skirt tactfully left, carefully storing the bottle of Pure Yuan Pill. It was pricey, and since she already had other medicine for injuries, she naturally didn't want to use it. She thought she'd take it back and trade it, perhaps she could get a more suitable pill for her current needs.
Cheng Hui was still thinking about what means he should use to get the information they wanted from the woman in green dress. After all, a woman like this who was blinded by love was quite determined, and ordinary means might not work.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Yifan had no intention of interrogating her at all. He raised his hand and grabbed the woman in the green dress, and slapped her with one palm to search her soul.
The woman in the green dress wailed miserably, as if she was suffering from some painful torture.
This is indeed the case. Cheng Hui has never experienced the feeling of having his soul searched, but he knows that people whose souls have been searched are unlikely to have a good ending. The best outcome is that they will become idiots, but if they are not careful, their souls will be scattered.
The woman in the green dress screamed extremely miserably, which was very creepy to hear. Cheng Hui did not sympathize with her, he was not that naive.
Just looking at Lin Qingyang's calm face, he felt a little uncomfortable.
In his opinion, even if Lin Qingyang was a little precocious, he was only an eight or nine-year-old child. Wasn't it a bit too much for Zhang Yifan to expose such a cruel scene in front of a child?
Aren’t you afraid of leaving a shadow on your child?
He walked stiffly in front of Lin Qingyang, blocking his view.
Lin Qingyang was stunned, then realized Cheng Hui's thoughts, and couldn't help feeling a little funny. He had experienced more cruel things in the Blood Shadow Sect, so this was nothing.
But besides being funny, I also feel a little sad. No one has ever protected me like this before.
He wanted to tell Cheng Hui, "I'm fine. This little thing can't scare me." But after thinking about it, he decided not to say it. Not only did he not say it, he also grabbed the corner of Cheng Hui's clothes and buried his face in his arms.
Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment, then he hugged the person tightly in his arms.
This child... is actually very scared, right?
But even though he was afraid, he had to be strong because everyone who could protect him was dead.
Cheng Hui's heart softened. Looking at Lin Qingyang, it was as if he saw himself as a child, the self who was abandoned after his parents divorced.
At that time, he also had to be strong because he knew that from the day his parents divorced, he had completely lost them.
"Be good, don't be afraid..."
He could now barely speak, but his voice was as slow as his body, and it seemed as if his tongue had also become stiff.
Zhang Yifan looked at his junior brother's natal Xuan corpse strangely. There weren't many Xuan corpses that could possess intelligence in the wandering corpse stage, but that was all. He looked stupid at first glance. How could my junior brother be afraid? Does he need your comfort?
Looking at the junior brother again... Well, this junior brother seems to be enjoying it.
Forget it, why should he worry about other people's family affairs?
Bang!
The sound of a skull breaking was heard, and after Zhang Yifan searched her soul, he killed the woman in the green dress.
Cheng Hui glared at him angrily. What was wrong with this guy? He actually killed someone in front of a child? This was too much!
Zhang Yifan looked at his junior brother's corpse, which rolled its eyes at him, in confusion. He asked, "Junior brother, is your corpse okay? Did his eyelid twitch?"
Cheng Hui: ...
Lin Qingyang: ...
Lin Qingyang slowly turned around from Cheng Hui's arms and said expressionlessly, "My Huihui is doing very well, Senior Brother, please don't say anything nonsense."
Zhang Yifan: ... emmm, okay, as long as you are happy.
"Brother, have you found out anything?" Lin Qingyang asked.
"Well, things are a bit troublesome." Zhang Yifan frowned: "If I go over there, I won't be afraid of what the enemy will do even if I attack them directly on the top of the mountain. But... my master hasn't come back yet. If I go..."
Lin Qingyang's large, distinct black and white eyes stared at Zhang Yifan intently: "Big Brother, is there something wrong with Master?"
Zhang Yifan shook his head. "It's hard to say. I just saw in this woman's memory that when the man surnamed Xu was talking to this woman, he showed that kind of villain's success didn't seem fake. And... although I don't like that man surnamed Xu, he has a good father. Maybe he really knows some of the puppet faction's conspiracies."
"So what are we going to do?"
Zhang Yifan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Leave it to me. I'll contact Master first. Please don't leave the peak for the time being. If you hadn't discovered this woman's whereabouts, I wouldn't have noticed that something was really wrong recently."
"Okay." Lin Qingyang knew that it was impossible for him to get involved in such a major event involving the sect, so he just kept quiet and didn't ask any more questions.
Cheng Hui was a little curious, but he knew in his heart that with his current strength, he was not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. If he didn't want to die, he would just stay put, so he didn't ask anything.
Zhang Yifan left with a worried look on his face. Lin Qingyang stood there for a while, sighed, and activated the formation in the courtyard.
He was very satisfied with the environment in the Corpse Puppet Sect, and was even more satisfied with his master Wuyouzi, who was not a troublemaker. He hoped that he could return safely.
Zhang Yifan was right. The atmosphere within the entire Corpse Puppet Sect had changed.
Lin Qingyang was very obedient and never left Thirteen Peaks. Cheng Hui, on the other hand, often strolled out and eavesdropped everywhere.
Anyway, no one cares about a wandering corpse that stumbles when walking. After all, people like him can be found everywhere in the Corpse Puppet Sect.
"Hey, isn't this Huihui?"
"Sun...Mr..." Cheng Hui greeted slowly.
Old Sun, the old gatekeeper of the library who was once mistaken by Cheng Hui as a master, looked at him with a smile.
"Reading again?"
"Yeah." Cheng Hui walked over and stood beside Mr. Sun.
"What do you want to see today?" Old Sun treated Cheng Hui with great patience and didn't care that he was a mysterious corpse.
The most important thing is that he did not stop Cheng Hui from entering the library to read, even though he did not have the jade talisman to enter the building.
"Look...Yi...Wen..."
"Go ahead and watch. Then you can go back and tell the story to your little fiancé. Haha!" Old Sun liked to tease Cheng Hui and his eight-year-old fiancé.
Cheng Hui had a blank expression on his face. “As long as you let me read, I can pretend I didn’t hear anything you say.”
"Okay, go ahead." Old Sun patted his shoulder.
"Recommend..." Cheng Hui had to speak word by word.
"Hmm...then go take a look at the Dingyou bookshelf on the third floor. There are all kinds of anecdotes about our Xuanheng world there, some true and some false. Just treat them as stories."
"Thank you!" Maybe it was because talking frequently had trained his tongue, but Cheng Hui could occasionally say two words in one breath.
"Hey, don't be so polite, go ahead." Old Sun helped Cheng Hui open the door, and Cheng Hui staggered in.
Going up the stairs to the third floor, Cheng Hui went straight to the Dingyou bookshelf. In the past month, apart from wandering around and eavesdropping on news, he came here to read books and was already familiar with all the layouts.
There are no windows in the library, and the ceiling is inlaid with some shiny beads. Those beads emit a soft white light, illuminating the room.
Cheng Hui liked this place very much. Before he traveled through time, he liked reading books, especially miscellaneous books. Those strange stories not only broadened his horizons, but also brought him a lot of joy.
After crossing into the world of cultivation, he discovered that his memory had greatly improved, almost to the point of photographic memory, so he liked reading more.
He likes all kinds of books, even those miscellaneous books that are worthless in the eyes of many monks, he can read them with gusto.
He couldn't enter a proper scripture repository. One had to have a specially issued jade talisman to enter that kind of place. Even Lin Qingyang only chose a secret book when he first entered the sect, and he could never enter again after that.
However, this library is different. Although jade talismans are also required here, the management is not strict, and not many people come here usually. Even if someone finds out, Old Sun can use the excuse that Cheng Hui is just a low-level wandering corpse who can't understand anything at all to get away with it.
So, this place has become Cheng Hui’s favorite place recently.
Here, he learned a lot. Although most of the books here were of low value, it was precisely because of their low value that the records on them were very basic things.
When Cheng Hui traveled to the Xuanheng Realm, he was completely in the dark. It was so difficult for him to find a place where he could acquire a lot of basic knowledge. It was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. He wished he could spend 24 hours a day there.
After a month of tutoring, he finally had a general understanding of the Xuanheng Realm.
The Xuanheng Realm is an intermediate realm, which manages a large number of small realms below it, and is above it and belongs to a large realm called the Nanming Realm.
To put it simply, if someone from the small world below ascends, they will come to the Xuanheng Realm, and if someone from the Xuanheng Realm ascends, they will enter the Nanming Realm.
It is said that a long time ago, the Xuanheng Realm was also a big realm. Unfortunately, a great battle broke out between the forces of good and evil, and some evil demons from outer space also interfered, which turned the big realm into several pieces.
At this time, the Xuanheng Realm was a relatively large fragment that remained, and therefore it could only be downgraded from a large realm to a medium realm.
