Chapter 217 We Can't Let Him Run Away This Time
Lian Chengyue: "Old senior, I heard that Piao Miao Peak has a front mountain and a back mountain. I didn't expect that Senior Gui has such an extraordinary status in the back mountain of Piao Miao Peak. I think I should take this opportunity to curry favor with him."
Shi Ruzhuo: ...
Lian Chengyue: "And Senior Gui Ruoxue doesn't look impressive, but I didn't expect that he actually has five sea view rooms. And you, senior, only have one ring. And I only have a student dormitory."
Shi Ruzhuo: ...
Lian Chengyue: "Old senior, you said this was Gui Ruoxue's fate. Before this, what kind of transcendent status did Senior Gui have?"
——It was just that he was forced to either be promoted or leave within the two major sects, had no house or car, was hunted everywhere, and was subjected to illegal experiments everywhere.
——How come you are a senior! You snobby dog! !
Lian Chengyue: "It's not snobbish. It's because Senior Gui is trusted by Immortal Ning. I think I can get close to Immortal Ning through him. Old senior, Senior Gui has a better life after leaving you."
Shi Ruzhuo forced out a few words from between his teeth: "Gui Ruoxue, I'm going to kill you!!"
Lian Chengyue: "I can't let you kill him. Immortal Ning will be unhappy."
Shi Ruzhuo: "You little brat, I'm going to take your house!"
Ning Mingmei turned around and saw Lian Chengyue slapping him in the face - then he saw Lian Chengyue holding his right hand with his left hand, with a very focused expression.
...What a weird thing.
Ning Mingmei frowned again. If Qi Miancheng was the first strange thing he had ever seen, Lian Chengyue was the second strange thing he had ever seen.
He turned to Gui Ruoxue and said, "Good luck, take good care of your injuries, don't worry, don't be afraid."
Gui Ruoxue, who was soaking wet, sat cross-legged by the river and circulated her breath. An hour later, Gui Ruoxue said, "I remember now."
Ning Mingmei: "What did you think of?"
Gui Ruoxue: "Thinking about what happened just now, thinking about the reason for coming here, thinking about the liquid that was pumped out after the needle pierced the other party's water harp..."
Ning Mingmei: "That's good. You've recovered."
Gui Ruoxue: "I still remember what you said to me just now."
Ning Mingmei: “Hmm.”
Gui Ruoxue: "Ning Mingmei! You liar! You only told me that I had five apartments! I clearly have eight apartments!! If I hadn't recovered my memory, would you have kept the remaining three apartments?"
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses and ignored Gui Ruoxue's scream. Turning back, he looked at Lian Chengyue who had finished fighting with both hands, looked at the slap mark on his face and said, "What were you doing just now?"
Lian Chengyue said with a gentle and pleasing smile: "Immortal Venerable, don't worry about me."
Ning Mingmei: "...I was asking what you were doing just now."
Lian Chengyue said calmly, "Immortal Venerable. I thought about how I didn't catch up with that person first, and instead caused the Immortal Venerable's beloved general to be injured. I felt very painful when I thought about this. The Immortal Venerable was able to save his beloved general, but I could only slap myself twice."
Ning Mingmei: "..."
Lian Chengyue clearly heard Shi Ruzhuo vomiting.
Ning Mingmei observed for a while, and pulled out the system for the first time: "To be honest, I am shocked."
The system asked, "What?"
Ning Mingmei said: "Although I expected it, your male protagonist seems to be a little bit abnormal."
The system hasn't reacted yet: "You just realized he's a lunatic?"
Ning Mingmei said: "I didn't expect him to be so adaptable."
Seeing Ning Mingmei silent, Lian Chengyue said to Shi Ruzhuo, "This is the first time I've seen Immortal Ning remain silent for me. I've finally succeeded in touching Immortal Ning's emotions."
Shi Ruzhuo: ...
Lian Chengyue: "According to the principle of repeatability, I should slap myself again. And I saw in those scripts that in order to improve the master-disciple relationship, the disciple should play the victim and act like a green tea."
“…”
After saying that, Lian Chengyue slapped himself again. Then, he said: "Immortal Lord, I really..."
Ning Mingmei: "... Stop smoking."
Lian Chengyue said to Shi Ruzhuo again: "Immortal Ning loves me."
Shi Ruzhuo: "I think he's telling you to stop having seizures."
Ning Mingmei said: "Forget it. Just keep smoking."
Ning Mingmei fell silent and continued to observe Gui Ruoxue. Finally, he stretched out two fingers and touched Gui Ruoxue's cheek.
He also touched Gui Ruoxue's lips.
At this moment, Gui Ruoxue and Shi Ruzhuo were both shouting: "What are you doing?/What is he doing?!"
"Water, memory forgetting..." Ning Mingmei pondered, "Is the water from Wangchuan used by that ghost cultivator? I just don't know whether this water can work as soon as it touches the skin, or if you swallowed a little bit...wig?"
"You...you...!" Gui Ruoxue's face flushed deeply, but her chest moved with anger, "You actually touched..."
Ning Mingmei said coldly: "Not only do I want to touch you, I also want you to open your mouth. Open your mouth and let me see."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
Ning Mingmei: "Are you going to rebel?"
"Tell me before you touch me next time!" Gui Ruoxue said sullenly, but she also opened her mouth.
Ning Mingmei went to observe Gui Ruoxue's tongue coating. At this moment, there were two more people who said "How dare he?"
Shi Ruzhuo: "Ning Mingmei, how dare you..."
Lian Chengyue: "Gui Ruoxue dared..."
"What did Gui Ruoxue dare to do?" Shi Ruzhuo turned around and attacked.
Lian Chengyue: "How dare he let Immortal Ning worry about him!"
When Ning Mingmei turned around, Lian Chengyue was slapping himself again. This time, Ning Mingmei was silent for a moment again.
Lian Chengyue succeeded in fighting against the runaway old ghost in the Refining Void Stage again and smiled: "Immortal Venerable."
Ning Mingmei instructed coldly: "Go and chase them."
If Ning Mingmei just wanted to find a free guide at the beginning. But now, the value of this Lanqiao ghost cultivator to Ning Mingmei is somewhat different.
After all, this person can not only successfully obtain the water of the Forgotten River, but also use the water of the Forgotten River to make weapons.
Firstly, it is very difficult for monks to obtain the water of Wangchuan River. Second, near the Wangchuan River is the abandoned former Ghost King’s Palace. This is not a place that ordinary ghost cultivators can enter.
And the woman used a water harp. As soon as Ning Mingmei saw the monk playing the musical instrument, he felt that the other party should have some relationship with Yanyun Tower. Now he is from Qingji Sect, Gui Xiu is from Yanyun Tower, Gui Ruoxue is from Minghua Valley, and Shi Ruzhuo is from Yinbing Pavilion. It’s true that all the TOP4 are gathered together.
Gui Ruoxue had no time to dress up and could only wear a mask. At this moment, he was wearing a wedding dress, with disheveled hair and a mask, and he looked very much like a woman.
Mu Hanshan chased in a hurry, but Huang Zhutao was careful and left many road signs for them along the way. The three of them and one ring ran wildly along the road signs, and the scene around them gradually changed.
"Entering the ghost world." Lian Chengyue said in a low voice.
There are no selfless border guards in the ghost world. The few of them entered smoothly without any obstruction, and they didn't even have to hand in their passports. The bright moon in the sky was gradually obscured by white fog. Along the way, all people could see were endless rocky mountains and rivers.
Ning Mingmei and Gui Ruoxue, as cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, have a speed that is unmatched by other cultivators. However, what surprised Ning Mingmei was that Lian Chengyue's pace was not slow at all. Thinking of this, Ning Mingmei felt that he could let Lian Chengyue do a lot of errands and stamping work in the future. At least this kind of work does not require employees to be mentally normal to do it.
Finally, they arrived at a cave. But after walking a few laps, they returned to the same place.
"It seems that this is the lair of the ghost cultivator." Ning Mingmei said, "Everyone follow me closely."
This cave was extremely large, and Ning Mingmei could see skeletons hanging from the top of the cave from time to time. The deeper you get into the cave, the stronger the smell of blood becomes. Finally, Ning Mingmei heard the sound of fighting.
Found it!
Light and shadow flickered in the grotto. Sure enough, Huang Zhutao was fighting fiercely with the ghost cultivator inside, and the other disciples were also nearby. The ghost cultivator glanced in their direction, as if knowing that the situation was hopeless.
At that moment, Ning Mingmei's heart suddenly moved.
"Not good!" Ning Mingmei shouted, "She's going to self-destruct! Don't let her get away!"
In an instant, the entire cave exploded, turning into a firework in the dark night of the ghost world!
The huge shock wave also blasted a deep crack in the ground. This grotto was originally on the cliff, and now it was blown up everywhere. Huang Zhutao reacted in time and only had time to protect Wen Siheng and Duan Ying beside her.
It is said that ghost cultivators have cunning temperaments. That ghost cultivator must have set up a self-destruct mechanism in his lair a long time ago. This time they were blown away.
Fortunately, Huang Zhutao had a lot of experience in the world. She dragged the two of them back, feeling extremely anxious.
When the ghost cultivator self-destructed, besides herself, Wen Siheng and Duan Ying, there were three other people here: Old Eleven, Ye Xuefei and Mu Hanshan.
Now, they are not here!
The ghost cultivator’s lair is close to the cliff. Even though Huang Zhutao was protecting Wen Siheng and Duan Ying, she was almost pushed to the edge of the cliff with her cultivation level. I don’t know where the other three people went!
Finally, after much anxiety, she found Ning Mingmei.
Fortunately, Ning Mingmei and the other two were not only unharmed, but they also captured the ghost cultivator. Ning Mingmei let Lin Xue control her with some magic, but her brows were tightly furrowed.
Seeing Huang Zhutao coming, Ning Mingmei asked, "Are you three the only ones together?"
Huang Zhutao said: "Those three people are missing, I can't find them."
Ning Mingmei asked: "Who is missing?"
Huang Zhutao said: "Ye Xuefei, Old Eleven, and..."
"Mu Hanshan."
"The weather in the ghost world is dark at night and gray during the day. But it is better than at night." Gui Ruoxue said, "This rocky mountain is very vast. It is not easy to find someone at night. We can wait until the day to look for it."
After he said this, Ning Mingmei asked another question in return.
"We're making such a big noise here. Do you think no one will hear it?"
…
Mu Hanshan opened his eyes amidst the rugged rocks.
He happened to be standing on the edge of the cliff when the explosion occurred. The huge shock wave swept him off the cliff in an instant.
Fortunately, there is not an endless abyss under the cliff, but a river. Perhaps it is because Wangchuan is in the ghost world, and there are always many rivers in the ghost world. The river water reduced the impact force, but Mu Hanshan still took some effort to climb out of the river.
While climbing up the rocks, Mu Hanshan suddenly remembered the geography knowledge he had learned.
The rivers in the ghost world have two main branches. Part of it flows into the farther abyss, and part of it flows into the Forgotten River in the ghost world.
Going downstream into either of these two is not a good option. Above the abyss is the Gate of Heaven, and below the abyss is the place where the goddess once fought against evil creatures. The Wangchuan River is the "holy land" of the ghost world and a place that no cultivator wants to go to.
Mu Hanshan didn’t know whether Ye Xuefei and Lao Shiyi were also swept into the river. He searched along the river but came back with no success. He himself was also washed away a long distance by the river.
Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
So he carried his sword and walked into the stone forest, determined to find his original coordinates. However, there were no stars or moon in the ghost world's sky, and the compass in his hand was useless, so he could not determine his direction. Just when Mu Hanshan was extremely anxious, he suddenly looked down and saw a little bloodstain on the ground.
The blood was not particularly fresh, but definitely not old either.
Mu Hanshan was alert, yet worried that this was bloodstains left by his companions. He bent down and observed carefully, and found that the bloodstains did not belong to a ghost cultivator or a demon cultivator, but to a cultivator of the human race.
The human cultivator in the ghost world was injured... The possibility that he was his companion increased.
Could it be those missing disciples of Qingji Sect? Mu Hanshan felt that the blood-stained footsteps were very similar to the steps of the Qingji Sect. This made his heart tighten.
Mu Hanshan is very good at stealth. He gathered all his energy and searched forward. It can be seen that the owner of the bloodstains must have suffered serious injuries and did not even have the time to deal with the traces he left behind. You know, leaving your own blood in the dark forest is like leaving the bloodiest bait for wild beasts.
Finally, Mu Hanshan saw a cave. I think the injured person is in here. He didn't say anything, but just tiptoed in. The night was as dark as ink, and he saw a huge rock deep in the cave.
There was a trail of blood, extending from outside the cave to under the boulder. A figure was curled up there, not very strong, but rather slender. Mu Hanshan could only see a vague outline.
The man seemed to be extremely tired and seriously injured. Therefore, he didn't even notice Mu Hanshan coming in.
Mu Hanshan continued to move forward. At that moment, his heart suddenly started beating fast. The ghost world is shrouded in fog, and every night is a moonless night. But at this moment, he suddenly saw the man's face clearly.
“…”
Mu Hanshan had imagined countless times how he should behave at this moment.
He thought he would yell, he thought he would lose his cool, he thought he would rush forward recklessly, he thought he would draw his sword. He would question, cry, and catch him...
But he didn't expect that he was so calm.
It's like when all the most heart-wrenching obsessions come to an end, a mad person finally has the calmness that comes from self-knowledge. The ultimate of madness is calmness.
At this moment, Mu Hanshan thought that he only had two thoughts.
The first thought was.
"It's him."
The second thought is.
"We can't let him get away this time."
So everything seemed to be in order. He came up to the man and felt that the other person's face seemed as familiar as he remembered, but also seemed a little strange. This was the first time he looked at him from a completely new perspective - no longer a master and a disciple, but one person to another. Then he suddenly seemed to be aware of many details, such as what he looked like and how weak he was at the moment.
And he saw that the man finally noticed his arrival and opened his eyes a little.
He was seen in his groom's attire. This must be the case at this moment.
