Yu Xingwu rolled her eyes inwardly.
Even the donkeys in the production team don’t work like this!
She had to complete the mission right after leaving the Sword Tomb. It was so hard for her!
And there was this second task, which was said to be released later. She knew without even thinking that this second task was definitely not a good task.
"Second Senior Brother, I want to go to Wucha Town with you. I've been missing you so much in the Sword Tomb for three years. Now that I've seen you, I can't bear to part with you. I'll go tell Master right away!"
[I'm really trying hard for points~ Ugh! I'm going to puke!]
Shen Zhuo: “…”
System: "Express love +1, points +200! Current points 6462!"
Yu Xingwu: “…”
[Only 200 points. Alas, even if it's small, it still counts! It doesn't matter. There are plenty of opportunities to earn points on this trip! ]
Shen Zhuo was thinking about cooperating with Yu Xingwu to get points, but when he heard her voice, he sneered in his heart.
Who likes to be used as a tool?
He said in a cold voice: "Let's go together. Master just sent a message to call me over."
…
On the way, Yu Xingwu saw that Shen Zhuo seemed to be indifferent to her, so she didn't bother to please him anymore.
She also took this opportunity to let the system fill her in on the story of Buwu Tea Town.
One year ago, a big monster wreaked havoc in Renjianwucha Town.
At the beginning, some fishermen encountered heavy rain and lightning while fishing in a boat.
Occasionally, a dragon would leap out of the river amidst the lightning and thunder, and soon the heavy rain and thunder would stop.
The fisherman believed that it was the dragon that saved his life, and the news of the dragon's appearance quickly spread throughout the town.
The people in the town have always believed in ghosts and gods, so they called the dragon mentioned by the fisherman the river god.
In order to seek the protection of the river god, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the people in the town would throw some poultry and animals into the river as a sacrifice to the river god.
During the initial period, the weather was good and the people became more and more devoted to the river god. They even built a river god temple on the river bank in the town.
Half a year later, Wucha Town was hit by a severe storm that occurred rarely in a century.
Overnight, houses collapsed, broken bricks and tiles were scattered all over the ground, large trees were uprooted, the streets and shops at the town’s dock were all destroyed, and every household suffered heavy losses.
The people all said that the river god was angry, and a witch proposed to sacrifice a living person to the river god.
Most of the people sacrificed were young women and baby girls, but the river god did not seem to appreciate it, and young men began to disappear in the town.
It was also because of the idea of favoring boys over girls in the world that people still believed in the river god when sacrificing women and baby girls. It was not until the sons of wealthy families in the town disappeared mysteriously one after another that the matter was reported to the immortal gate.
The major immortal sects are responsible for protecting the people on earth, and each sect has also made divisions. Wucha Town is under the jurisdiction of Tianlan Sect on earth.
The leader of Tianlan Sect concluded that a great demon was responsible and sent Fengchen Sword Master and the third elder with thirty disciples to the scene.
One is to eliminate harm and kill evil spirits for the people, and secondly, the disciples can also go down the mountain to gain some experience. This is where the mission comes from.
Yu Xingwu had also read the original novel, and after listening to the system's narration of the plot, she couldn't help but sigh.
In the original plot, the women and baby girls who were sacrificed in Wucha Town are, to put it bluntly, a reflection of the low status of women in feudal society.
The woman sacrificed her baby girl to suppress the matter and still placed her hope in the river god. She panicked when the man went missing and asked for help.
It's ridiculous that the people in these towns sacrificed baby girls and even made young women wear wedding dresses, saying that they were offering brides to the river god, but they didn't know that the big monster in the book was actually a female monster.
So, why send a young woman? It should be a man!
Although the book did not explain why the big demon abducted the young man in the town, she guessed that it must be related to the practice of absorbing yin to replenish yang. Most of the powerful female demons in novels practiced magic by absorbing yin to replenish yang.
The original author probably feared being locked up in a literary black box, so he didn't write about what this witch did after she abducted the young men.
Ahem...Of course, this is just her guess, just a guess!
…
When Yu Xingwu and Shen Zhuo arrived at the front hall of Zhaoyao Peak, it was already dawn.
Feng Chen originally had the habit of getting up early and practicing sword dancing on the peak. However, when he heard the news that Yu Xingwu had returned to the peak from the disciple guarding the mountain, he went to the front hall and waited for Yu Xingwu to come and pay him a visit without even practicing sword dancing.
What made Feng Chen very angry was that the first thing Yu Xingwu did when she returned to the peak was not to see him, her master, but to go to see Shen Zhuo.
What a bastard and traitor, he doesn't even respect his master!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he sent a message to a few people, asking them to come to the front hall.
Now that Shen Zhuo is here, he doesn’t believe that this bastard traitor won’t come to see him!
At the same time, he felt a little relieved that the traitor returned to Zhaoyao Peak first after leaving the Sword Tomb, instead of going to Xingluo Peak to meet Yun Ci first.
It can be seen that he is the Grand Master, and Yun Ci is only qualified to be the Second Master.
As soon as Yu Xingwu entered the hall, she saw Feng Chen, Ye Su and the heroine inside the hall.
Seeing that the male lead, the female lead, the second male lead were all there, and the villain had also arrived, Yu Xingwu was so excited as if she had seen a Shura field.
Although the dog system said that there is no progress in the relationship between the protagonists, don't panic! This trip to Wucha Town has made progress!
"Disciple greets Master. Disciple wants to go to Wucha Town with Master and Senior Brother. I hope Master will agree!"
Sword Master Feng Chen was originally very angry, but when he saw Yu Xingwu, his anger instantly subsided because he saw the dark red sword mark on Yu Xingwu's face.
As everyone knows, Sword Master Fengchen is also a protective person. He can't stand seeing his own disciples being bullied, nor can he stand seeing his disciples getting hurt, especially on the face.
In the eyes of Sword Master Fengchen, having a sword cultivator injured in the face by a sword is simply an insult to the sword cultivator!
Because his attention was on Yu Xingwu's face, he ignored her words about going to Wucha Town and asked in a very cold voice: "Where did the scar on your face come from? What happened in the past three years?"
Yu Xingwu did not hide the fact that she had contracted the Frost Sword and learned swordsmanship from Ancestor Yunlan. What she did not tell Feng Chen was that while learning swordsmanship, she also practiced the sword cultivation technique.
In the words of Patriarch Yunlan, there are similarities between swords and knives.
He also said that if she could integrate her knife skills and sword skills together, she would be able to achieve a combined sword and sword attack, and the power would be increased several times.
Also, although three months in the secret space is equivalent to three years in the outside world, she did break through from the initial foundation-building stage to the Jindan stage within three months.
After she formed a bond with the divine weapon, her cultivation level was indeed increasing every day.
Another thing is that she has natural spiritual roots.
The speed of cultivating a natural spiritual root is much faster than that of a single spiritual root, and before the Golden Core Stage, there is no bottleneck in breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that she practiced sword skills during the day and cultivated at night, day and night for three months, and also because the spiritual power in the illusion space is too abundant.
Because Yu Xingwu had a magical instrument that concealed her cultivation level, Yu Yuefu, who was standing by, did not know that Yu Xingwu had already entered the Jindan stage.
What made Yu Yuefu almost bite her teeth and was extremely angry was that the Frost Sword was actually contracted by Yu Xingwu!
She is the real daughter! The Frost Sword is obviously the real daughter's natal sword! Why is it that in this life, it is contracted by Yu Xingwu, the fake daughter!
Although Yu Yuefu hated him to the extreme, she hid her emotions very well and still looked pretty and charming.
Yu Xingwu looked at Fengchen Sword Master who was sitting on the main seat.
Seeing that he was still not answering her question about going to Wucha Town, she said arrogantly, "Master, do you allow me to go to Wucha Town?"
"If you don't allow me, I will go find Master Yun Ci and ask him to take me down the mountain for training!"
Feng Chen: "..." Traitor! Why is she so anxious! He was just wondering why the Frost Sword chose her as its master and was preparing to give her ointment to remove her scars, but he never said that he would not take her to Wucha Town!
He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "At noon tomorrow, we will gather at the sect square and set out. I am tired, so all of you should retreat and go back to prepare!"
Ye Su and the other two bowed and were about to leave when they heard Yu Xingwu's voice.
[Tired? You're tired so early in the morning? Are you suffering from kidney deficiency? You are the male protagonist! How can you suffer from kidney deficiency? What are you going to do with the female protagonist in the future? ]
[No, kidney deficiency is a disease and needs to be treated. I have to talk to Ye Su later and ask him to give the male protagonist some kidney-tonifying medicine. It should be able to cure it. After all, the male protagonist has kidney deficiency! It's not a big problem.]
Feng Chen: “…” Traitor, you won’t be satisfied until you’ve made me angry to death!
"What are you guys still standing there for? I read all night and have a headache. I will supervise your sword practice tomorrow."
[Come on, it turns out it’s a headache, not kidney deficiency! You should have said it earlier.]
"Disciple, I'm leaving."
