Chapter 40 Wen Jing: No one except my brother can find the demon

"Has anything happened these days?"

"Yes, our turtle is missing."

Jun Yanzhi looked down at him and said, "Missing?"

"It hasn't come back for several days."

The two talked all the way. Jun Yanzhi brought Wen Jing to the small hall, but saw a man in black talking to Liu Qianmo. He looked ordinary like a passerby. It was Zhu Jin. Zhu Jin seemed to have just sat down, with a respectful expression on his face. He stood up and greeted Jun Yanzhi.

Jun Yanzhi said gently, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and Senior Brother Zhu are all here."

Liu Qianmo also stood up and said, "Have you reached the first level?"

Jun Yanzhi nodded.

"That's great. Senior Brother Zhu is here to see your progress."

Zhu Jin said briefly and politely, "The sect leader asked Junior Brother Jun to go to Tianheng Peak as soon as he reaches the first level. Peak Master Lu has gathered all the unconscious disciples in the main hall, waiting for Junior Brother Jun to cast a spell."

The situation was urgent and no time was allowed to pass. Jun Yanzhi nodded and said, "Although I have already reached the first level, I don't know if it is feasible."

He turned around and glanced at Wen Jing, his mind paused, but he apologized. He said to Zhu Jin, "After I broke through the first level, my skills are still shallow. I need to prepare a plant of Su Xin Grass for each disciple, mash it into juice, and feed it to them. Brother Zhu, can you go to Tian Heng Peak first to prepare this herb?"

Zhu Jin pondered for a while and said, "It takes two hundred years to grow a plant of Su Xin Grass, and there are only thirty or forty plants in Yurong Peak. It will take some time to prepare such a large number. I'll go first." After saying that, he went out.

Zhu Jin's figure disappeared from the door. Jun Yanzhi said to Wen Jing, "Let's go look for the big turtle first."

Liu Qianmo interrupted, "What turtle?"

Wen Jing said, "Senior Brother Jun's spiritual turtle."

Liu Qianmo frowned and said, "Isn't that turtle crawling all over the mountain? What if we can't find it for a while?"

Wen Jing said, "It hasn't come back for several days."

Liu Qianmo: "..."

Wen Jing opened his mouth and explained awkwardly, "The turtle has never been missing. I was worried that it had an accident."

Liu Qianmo coughed lightly, "Peak Master Zhao, seventy-four disciples of Tianheng Peak, and sixteen disciples of Gujing Sect, a total of ninety-one people are unconscious and in danger. That turtle... let's look for it in a few days."

He Ling sat there drinking tea as if it had nothing to do with him.

Wen Jing said, "Senior Brother Jun has been using magic for them for half a month or a month. It takes such a long time. If something happens to the turtle, I will regret it." Xiang Xiang said, "Since you want to save people, why don't you feel where it is and tell me the general direction, and I will go find it myself."

The turtle never went home without telling anyone. Wen Jing felt that something had happened to it.

Jun Yanzhi lowered his head and said, "Zhu Jin needs to prepare herbs, and it will take a while. I will go find the turtle first. This short half day won't delay too many things."

Liu Qianmo had no choice but to say, "... Go quickly and come back quickly."

Jun Yanzhi and Wen Jing went out together. Liu Qianmo lowered his head and drank tea, but his expression was a little bitter. He said, "I calculated that Master should be out of retreat in the next few days."

He Ling said nothing.

Liu Qianmo said to himself again: "... So many years have passed, this should be the last time of seclusion."

"Yeah."

"I feel like it's finally over. Master finally doesn't have to be in seclusion anymore, and Junior Brother Jun is going to become a benefactor of the Sword Sect. I feel that when the mountain gate opens next time, Huishi Peak will be much more lively."

He Ling said: "Focus on cultivation."

Liu Qianmo smiled and said: "My qualifications are not as good as yours, and I can't form a pill in this lifetime. You just concentrate on cultivation, and I will take care of the big and small things in Huishi Peak."

He Ling was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The longer you can live, the better."

"Everyone has his own aspirations, just like Sect Master Xi, who only has the Qingxu Sword Sect in his eyes. There are too few people who can become immortals, and most people will die eventually. There must always be someone or something that can make you worry." Liu Qianmo laughed again, "You are devoted to the Tao, so you must not take this kind of thing to heart - it is a good thing to concentrate on it."

He Ling said nothing.

Liu Qianmo asked again: "When do you plan to retreat again?"

He Ling pondered for a while and said: "... Wait until this matter calms down."

Jun

Yanzhi sensed for a while in the open space in front of the stone house, and pulled Wen Jing up: "Let's go." After

flying for a while, the two entered the back mountain of Tianheng Peak and stopped in front of a dense forest halfway up the mountain. The forest here is dense and full of thorns. A waterfall falls from the cliff, but the water splashes are small and crooked. It doesn't look like an immortal, but looks a bit shabby.

Jun Yanzhi dragged Wen Jing through the dense forest for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of dragon roars, low and deep, coming from the depths. Wen Jing was surprised, and rushed towards the sound of the dragon roars, ready to fight a big fight.

Turtle meat prolongs life, was it eaten by some monster?

After walking for a while, they had reached the end of the dense forest, and saw a small green dragon, about the size of a human, with a soft glow on its body, lying on the ground with its back to them. The sound of dragon roars came from this dragon.

Wen Jing was anxious: "Is this Elder Lu's Jade Dragon? Where is our turtle?"

Jun Yanzhi said calmly: "It's still alive."

Wen Jing rushed forward and stopped 20 or 30 steps ahead. He saw the green dragon turned over, lying on its back, its white belly turned up, its two front paws slightly hooked, and it seemed to be sleeping soundly. The

big turtle squatted beside it, as if it knew it was imprisoned, and its eyes stared at it motionlessly.

Wen Jing frowned: "What did the Jade Dragon catch the big turtle for?"

"I guess it had nothing to do in the mountains, so it found a playmate."

"Why did you come back?"

Jun Yanzhi glanced at Wen Jing and emitted a stream of spiritual energy from his hand. This spiritual energy slowly lingered, gradually enveloping the whole body of the green dragon. After a short while, the dragon's limbs drooped and it fell into a deeper sleep.

Wen Jing stepped forward lightly, held the big turtle in his arms, and whispered, "Let's go."

The two of them quickly followed the original path out of the dense forest. Jun Yanzhi said, "I'm going to the Tianheng Peak Hall. Do you want to follow me or go back and put the big turtle down first?"

The big turtle moved unusually and turned its head.

Wen Jing said, "I'll go back and lock the big turtle in the room. This dragon is too abominable. I don't know how it caught the turtle. Go quickly and don't let them wait anxiously."

Jun Yanzhi nodded, said nothing more, and left first.

The big turtle's limbs moved randomly, and it seemed very uncomfortable. Wen Jing couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

The direction of the turtle's struggle pointed to the cliff. Although Wen Jing was puzzled, he carried it to the side of the cliff. The cliff was not too high, only a few dozen meters. The branches and leaves of the forest at the bottom of the cliff were dense, but there was a faint sound, as if there was someone.

The big turtle tried desperately to crawl to the bottom of the cliff. Wen Jing couldn't persuade it. He weighed his ability and felt that the cultivation level of the person at the bottom of the cliff was not high, about the same as his own. He thought there was no need to be afraid, so he flew down with the big turtle in his arms.

After passing through the branches and leaves and landing at the bottom, Wen Jing looked around and was slightly stunned: "It's you."

In front of him was a young man in dark blue clothes, squatting beside a mountain stream under the waterfall, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked up at Wen Jing, his eyes slightly smiling: "It's you again. Do you remember my name this time?"

"...You Si."

A person whose character value always fluctuates between positive and negative.

"Well...what are you doing here?" You Si smiled.

The big turtle struggled desperately towards Yousi. Wen Jing asked anxiously, "What do you have? This turtle never behaves like this."

Yousi lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and took out a bunch of small white fruits that looked like grapes from his arms, "This is a bunch of 'vegetarian fruit' that I won in a bet a few days ago. Eating it can improve your cultivation. Do you want to eat it?"

The big turtle became even more anxious, with its mouth slightly open.

Wen Jing said awkwardly, "Will you sell this fruit?"

This foodie could actually smell the scent of this small white fruit on the cliff...

Yousi smiled and put the fruit on the ground, "Come and eat it."

Wen Jing put the big turtle down, and sure enough, it crawled over and opened its mouth in front of Yousi.

Yousi squatted down, picked the small white fruits one by one, put them into the big turtle's mouth, and touched its little head.

Wen Jing frowned and asked, "You are a disciple of Beiyan Peak, what are you doing here?"

Yousi turned his head to look at the waterfall falling from the cliff: "Nothing, check the water source near Tianheng Peak."

Wen Jing looked at him and asked tentatively: "Why check the water source? What's special?"

He had read the original text, so he naturally knew Xi Fang and Lu Zhishan's inference that most demon cultivators use water as a medium to spread a small amount of their own blood. If someone drinks it, they will be controlled by the demon cultivator and go crazy.

Could it be that Yousi also knew this?

You Si smiled: "The water here is fine, but the water on the other side of Tianheng Peak seems to have some problems."

"What's the problem?"

You Si's mouth was always curled up, and there was always a faint smile, but it was hard to figure out: "Tianheng Peak has two mountain streams. This one is on the mountainside, connected to more than 20 springs. More than 100 disciples including Wen Renmu drink water from this stream. The other one is connected to more than 10 springs, which is the source of water for the more than 70 crazy people."

Wen Jing couldn't help but look at You Si seriously: "Do you suspect that there is a problem with the water source on that side?"

"...I just thought it was a bit coincidental, so I checked it out."

"What did you find out?"

You Si glanced at him, but his smile deepened: "I have read many ancient books and know that the demon cultivator can use blood as a medium to control people's minds. If the stream on the other side is mixed with the blood of the demon cultivator..."

He really knew about the blood as a medium.

"It has been a long time. Even if there is blood, it has long been dispersed by now. It can't be found..."

Xi Fang had sent Zhu Jin to investigate secretly, but found nothing.

You Si smiled and said: "Among the disciples of Tianheng Peak who drank from this stream, more than 20 people did not go crazy. I inquired for a long time and found out that they either went down the mountain or entered into meditation at the same time, so they did not drink water on the mountain for several days. Based on this, we can infer that the demon cultivator mixed blood in the stream on a certain day."

Wen Jing looked at him, but was slightly stunned.

What's wrong with this person? He actually has the potential of a detective? Why is he not mentioned in the original text?

You Si smiled again: "Unfortunately, even if I know, I have no way of knowing who it is. I only know that it should be the day before the peak test." Wen

Jing's heart moved, and he remembered something.

The day You Si mentioned was the day when the system reminded him that it had detected the demon cultivator...

Such a coincidence, indicating that that day was the time when the demon cultivator committed a crime.

In other words, when the demon was committing a crime, could the system detect it?

This news must be let Brother Jun know.

Wen Jing glanced at You Si, thinking that this mysterious young man was very good, but he was a little hard to figure out and unsure, and always felt a little unfathomable.

Not to mention, Wen Jing had selfish motives.

Even if he had to find the demon, he wanted Brother Jun to find it.
