Lucky Star
The night is so dark that it cannot be dispelled.
Ning Guanyin threw a scholar who couldn't resist the temptation into the cold spring. She watched him struggle twice and then sink, and suddenly felt bored.
Suddenly she realized that there was someone else in the cold spring and threw out the red silk.
The red silk flew across the water and was torn into pieces by the black crystal.
An evening breeze blew.
Across the scattered red hail, Ning Guanyin stood up, "Big Brother?"
A human head slowly emerged from the cold spring.
It was Wenren Yi.
His hair was wet and stuck to his face.
From a distance, it looks like a water ghost.
The relationship between these four people from the Jueqing Sect is very ordinary.
The four of them tacitly abide by the principle of "if you don't care about me, I won't care about you".
But Wen Renyi thought this was too scary.
Hiding in a cold spring and coming out in the middle of the night, isn't this something Gong Ziyu would do?
Also, the cold spring on this small green hill is bone-chillingly cold.
Ning Guanyin bent down, scooped up a handful of spring water, and immediately threw it away.
My fingertips were pricked and hurt.
How could he bear it and still soak in it?
"Don't throw people into the water." Wen Renyi said calmly, "The water will stink."
Ning Guanyin mocked, "Why, Master has been gone for so long, and now you want to act like a senior brother?"
Wenren said nothing and sank into the spring. After a while, he fished out the dead scholar and threw him onto the shore.
A few crows came following the scent.
I don't know where they got the strength from, but they came in groups of three or five, hooked their claws on the scholar's clothes, and carried him away.
Ning Guanyin was about to leave when she heard someone say, "What do you think of my junior sister?"
Ning Guanyin tilted her head slightly, "That girl? To be favored by Master... she must not be a good person."
Wenren's face also half sank into the water.
"I think she's pretty good."
A bubble appeared on the surface of the water, and then he disappeared.
Ning Guanyin frowned her delicate eyebrows.
not bad?
What kind of evaluation is this?

At dawn, Yu Xiaoye opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Another very restful night.
He couldn't help but feel that his eldest brother's headache had really healed. If it didn't reoccur in the future, he would be very happy.
After Yu Xiaoye finished washing up, he saw that Ruan Zhaozhao had not gotten up yet, so he went to the kitchen to cook today's meal.
Today is the day to deliver meals to our senior brothers and sisters.
When he put all the food into the lunch box, a little head popped out from the window, grabbing the windowsill, "Brother Xiaoye, it smells so good."
Yu Xiaoye handed the noodles to her, "Zhao Zhao, this is yours."
Ruan Zhaozhao saw the four-layer food box and asked, "Are you going to deliver food to your senior brothers and sisters?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded.
Ruan Zhaozhao's eyes rolled around, "Then wait for me, I'll go with you."
Yu Xiaoye originally wanted to tell her to eat slowly.
But he suddenly thought that Ruan Zhaozhao was not as fortunate as he was to receive guidance from the headmaster. Although he had joined the sect, he did not know how to practice next.
Should I start by studying Taoist scriptures like him, or is there another way?
He was just a menial disciple and didn't dare to teach casually.
You should ask the senior brothers.
Ruan Zhaozhao quickly finished his noodles and put the bowl on the stool.
Yu Xiaoye picked up the lunch box and said, "I'll wash it when I get back. Let's go."
Wenren Yi's courtyard was quiet.
Yu Xiaoye put the lunch box at the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Big Brother, Zhao Zhao is already a disciple of the Jueqing Sect. How should she practice?"
After a while, Wen Renyi's rather cold voice came, "Go ask about Master's spirit tablet."
Yu Xiaoye scratched his head, "Then..."
Then, Wenren Yi added something for the first time: "If Master has nothing to say, I will start by studying the Dao Canon like you."
I feel that the eldest brother cares about Zhao Zhao very much.
Yu Xiaoye nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The two continued to walk up. Someone came to pay their respects, and paper money flew everywhere, scattering all over the road.
Yu Xiaoye was so scared that he closed his eyes and didn't dare to let go of Ruan Zhaozhao's hand.
There were still a few crows standing on the dead tree. They didn't fly away, but kept staring at Ruan Zhaozhao.
System reminder: "Crows are very vengeful."
Ruan Zhaozhao wanted to bend down to pick up a stone from the ground and throw it intermittently.
Now the crows dared not move.
After successfully walking this distance, Ruan Zhaozhao put the stone into his palm.
Yu Xiaoye was puzzled as to why the crows didn't come to harass him, considering they would tease him every time he came.
He couldn't help but look at Ruan Zhaozhao.
Could it be that Zhao Zhao is really a lucky star?
Yu Xiaoye put the food box in the basket next to the courtyard gate.
The crow standing on the courtyard wall flew down, hooked the basket with its two claws, and carried it into the yard.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered, "I almost forgot, tomorrow is the fifteenth."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Fifteen?"
Yu Xiaoye: "Well, Second Brother said that you shouldn't go near his compound on the nights of the 14th and 15th."
Ruan Zhaozhao let out a long "Oh".
After delivering the remaining meal, the two returned to the main hall.
Yu Xiaoye lit some incense for Ruan Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, please ask the Sect Master for instructions."
System: "Go ahead and worship."
Ruan Zhaozhao held up the incense and bowed twice casually.
The clay statue of the ancestor lit up, and a ray of light flew out and penetrated into Zhao Zhao's eyebrows.
Ruan Zhaozhao repeated the system's words, "The Grandmaster has given me a technique that can lead to direct enlightenment."
Yu Xiaoye was surprised. "You don't have to start by studying the Dao Canon?"
Ruan Zhaozhao nodded.
Yu Xiaoye murmured, "This is a technique given by the Grandmaster himself. It's a privilege that even the eldest brother and the others have never had..."
The system felt it had made Ruan Zhaozhao too special, but it had considered this approach. The four people were familiar with the Sect Leader and might have become suspicious, wavering. "Host, isn't this too conspicuous?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "No, I think it's just right."
Yu Xiaoye thought about it and came up with a possibility.
——Ruan Zhaozhao is truly a lucky star, a lucky star who has been certified by the founder and allowed the Jueqing Sect to flourish!
The movement in the hall naturally attracted the attention of the four people.
But they didn't come this time. Everyone knew that Ruan Zhaozhao was favored by the Grandmaster, so it was reasonable for her to be given a unique martial arts technique.
·
That night.
A disc hung in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell like a veil, covering the coffins parked in the yard.
A man stood in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes closed, his hands pressed against his legs, his fingertips trembling slightly.
All the crows gathered on the crooked tree in the yard, without making a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Gong Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot.
He walked towards the house, his steps slow and each step felt like a heavy lead weight on the ground.
When he arrived in front of the house, he raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
At the same time, a head sneakily poked out from the courtyard wall.
Ruan Zhaozhao grabbed the courtyard wall with both hands and floundered with his legs underneath.
The crows in the tree noticed her, and just as one of them was about to scream, it was hit by a stone and fell stiffly to the ground.
The other crows fell silent.
They recognized her. The girl who threw the stone was the one who had thrown her companion like a meteor hammer.
I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.
Ruan Zhaozhao turned his gaze.
She saw Gong Ziyu standing in the yard, and suddenly walked into the house, dancing and gesticulating.
There was clearly no one in the room, but he raised his head and spoke loudly.
How strange.
Ruan Zhaozhao focused his attention on the coffins.
The system reminded: "Host, his 'Cause and Effect Killing Value' has increased."
Gong Ziyu's "Cause and Effect Killing Value" suddenly soared by ten points.
Seeing that he was on the verge of losing control, Ruan Zhaozhao calmly climbed into the yard, groped to the nearest coffin, pushed open the coffin lid, raised his chin and looked inside.
Inside lay the corpse of a woman, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face. Judging by her complexion, she had been dead for a long time.
The strange thing is that her joints are wrapped with thin threads, which are as thin as hair and cannot be seen unless you look closely.
Ruan Zhaozhao murmured: "Corpse puppet?"
The system always pays attention to Gong Ziyu's "Cause and Effect Killing Value", "Hmm?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "What's wrong?"
System: "It's descending again."
Ruan Zhaozhao stood on tiptoe and looked over the coffin, and sure enough, he saw that the value above Gong Ziyu's head in the room had returned to normal.
But his condition was not much better. He injured himself and was covered in blood.
Ruan Zhaozhao turned around and said, "Let's go."
The system was confused: "Leave?"
The crows spotted her, and one brave one thought twice and swooped down towards her.
Ruan Zhaozhao reached out his hand without looking back and held its mouth.
The man and the bird looked at each other.
Ruan Zhaozhao recognized that this was the first time he tried to scare her.
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Bye."
She threw the crow out again, without even looking at it as it turned into a meteor, took two steps back, rushed forward, kicked the wall, and jumped out of the courtyard wall in three or two steps, landing perfectly.
Ruan Zhaozhao walked quickly towards his residence, and on the way he kept asking: "System, did he find out that I was here?"
The system shook its head: "No."
Ruan Zhaozhao was a little surprised. "No one noticed what I did these past two days? They are villains after all."
System: "They haven't turned evil yet, so they're not considered true villains yet. Host, have you heard the saying, whitewashed people are seven times weaker."
Host, you seem to have the mental and physical qualities of a villain...
Ruan Zhaozhao complained: "It's still too bad."
System: "However, when they became disciples, they separated a wisp of their soul and placed it in front of the ancestor. They will know what happened in the hall. And..."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Hmm?"
System: "This shouldn't affect your mission. They also put it on Yu Xiaoye, but he doesn't know."
Ruan Zhaozhao went back to her room to sleep, and the next day she went to the main hall to meditate with Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye's way of enlightenment was to recite Taoist scriptures repeatedly.
Even if he didn't understand the meaning of the book, he would read it a hundred times and its meaning would become clear. He firmly believed that he would be enlightened one day.
He held the book and read softly and earnestly, while Ruan Zhaozhao dozed off as he listened.
In her eyes, all decent books were written in tadpole script, which she couldn't understand. Although it didn't sound uncomfortable, it was very boring.
At noon, after dinner, Ruan Zhaozhao suggested going to the charity cemetery to see the old man.
The two of them went down the mountain together, followed the path opened up by the ox cart to the back mountain, climbed up the steps, and saw a farm.
Ruan Zhaozhao looked up and saw Gong Ziyu's residence, confirming that the manor she saw above was the charity manor.
From the perspective of the charity cemetery, you can see more clearly the road that goes through the mass grave and leads directly to the mountain.
Yu Xiaoye originally didn't dare to enter the charity cemetery, but when he saw Ruan Zhaozhao swaggering in, he made up his mind and lifted his sore legs to follow him in.
More than a dozen coffins were placed on both sides, and an old man sat at the end, smoking a pipe and sighing.
Seeing the two children coming, he quickly opened the back door to let the smell out.
"Why are you two here?" The old man smiled happily and stuffed two oranges into their hands.
Yu Xiaoye: "Let's come and see Aong."
Ruan Zhaozhao walked to the back door and peeked outside. The back door also led to the mass grave. "Will Grandpa stay here tonight?"
