Chapter 20 Corpse
On the outskirts of Huanjing City, in a county town with stretching villages.
The disciples of the Tianshan School were gathering around to discuss matters.
"Senior brother Xu, I heard that senior brother went down the mountain yesterday?"
"Yes, I also received a message from Master."
"With the senior brother sitting in the formation, that little Yaoxie will be able to catch it!"
Under the Tianshan School, there are countless peaks, large and small, but each peak opens an enchantment, and it is an independent division system.
Each peak has its own set of procedures for recruiting apprentices, including outer disciples, inner disciples, and closed disciples.
As long as you have spiritual roots in your body, you can basically worship the peak you want smoothly.
Most of the outer disciples have five spiritual roots, and most of the inner disciples have three or four spiritual roots, and only those with double spiritual roots can become closed disciples.
At the beginning of cultivation, it depends on the spiritual root. After the real entry, it depends on the understanding and the speed of cultivation.
As long as they can reach a certain level within the specified time, everyone is likely to climb up step by step from the outer disciple, and it is not impossible to even become a closed disciple one day.
In addition, each peak also has its own chief disciple, who is elected every three years through a competition. If you have the strength, you can continue to be elected until you break through to Yuanying.
Because after arriving in Yuanying, you can freely choose to travel down the mountain, or serve as an elder in the elder peak, and what's more, you can also set up another peak.
Therefore, when it comes to the chief disciples of the Tianshan School, there are actually dozens of them, but there is only one person who can be collectively called a senior disciple by them, and that is Jiang Chenlan from the Suzerain Peak.
Hearing that this experience can alert the senior brother to come down the mountain to help, all the disciples were very pleasantly surprised.
This time they received a mission to help the village drive away evil spirits.
Although Yaoxie and Yaozu have the same word "yao", their cultivation methods are very different.
The base camp of the monster clan is in the boundless forest. Most of the animals and plants in it are cultivating adults. They follow the path of serious cultivation, and they will be able to ascend the Tao smoothly in the future.
But evil spirits are different. They practice by sucking human blood and flesh. They are cast aside by practitioners and punished by everyone.
This time, I heard that there are many traces of mummified corpses in the [-] villages under Huanxia County. The county lord can only turn to the lord of Huanjing City for help in panic.
The city lord of Huanjing City also needs to be responsible for maintaining peace inside and outside Huanjing City, so after continuing to report, he decided to send help from the nearby Tianshan Mountains.
Their group of disciples rushed over non-stop after receiving the mission. At the beginning, they listened to the villagers' introductions, and combined with the fact that these deceased had been to the mountains recently, they preliminarily concluded that the evil spirits in the western mountains came down to do evil.
They divided the disciples into several pairs, and went to the mountain to inspect in turn. After half a month, there was no trace of evil spirits, and the village was calm.
Brother Xu, who took the lead, had no other choice. After seeking help from his master, he got a spiritual weapon, which can be used to chase the traces of evil spirits.However, after casting the spell, it was discovered that the strong evil spirit shrouded the village had been circling and circling above, and it did not seem to overflow and dissipate in the slightest.
Only then did the disciples realize that they had been investigating in the wrong direction all along, and that this evil spirit was actually hiding in this village!
Brother Xu made a prompt decision, while arranging for the younger brothers and sisters to continue patrolling the mountain, he also arranged for people to quietly go to each house for questioning.
But I don't know where it was exposed, the evil spirit tore off his face overnight and planned to escape.
It's just that the timing was not very clever, and the disciples who came back from the mountain patrol caught him right away.
In a hurry, the two demons fled to the deep mountains, and the other one looked at the direction, and it should be going to Huanjing City.
"Brother, when Uncle Chen came over a few days ago, we just killed a demon, and another one was fleeing in the mountains. The mountains have been surrounded by our formation."
"Yes, but there is a question. Should we go to make peace with the senior brother first? Or stay here and wait for the senior brother to come?" The disciples spoke one after another, discussing with each other.
Senior Brother Xu hesitated for a while, "Don't worry, after I communicate with Senior Brother, I will make plans!"
The evil spirits trapped in the mountains know some formations, which is why they were seriously injured before and needed to call Master Chen to help.
It's just that this is the experience of their disciples after all, it's not easy for Master Chen to intervene to help, so he can only protect the disciples, and then bring them back to the sect, and then send the disciples to join them again.
They are worried now, if they all leave, will the evil spirits break through the formation and escape?
But if they are separated, there is still one scattered outside. What if they are accidentally ambushed?
Senior Brother Xu took out the communication talisman, and after inputting spiritual power, the communication talisman lit up, followed by a deep and powerful voice, "What's the matter?"
The disciple quickly kept silent, not daring to disturb.
Brother Xu spoke concisely, and after explaining the cause and effect of the matter, he asked him how to arrange it.
Jiang Chenlan, "Just stay over there."
Senior Brother Xu was a little confused, "But, there is still one fleeing, what if more people are killed?"
"Don't worry, it's in Huanjing City, I'll take care of it." Jiang Chenlan said calmly.
Knowing the whereabouts of the other one, Senior Brother Xu finally felt relieved, "Since Senior Brother has made a move, we can rest assured."
After hanging up the communication talisman, a disciple had a sneer on his face, "It thought it escaped from the sky, but it just ran into the hand of the senior brother!"
"Exactly! I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune." The other disciples were also happy.
The worry before was that the monsters in the mountains would be treacherous, and if the days dragged on, the other one would be allowed to do harm to the people.
Since... then they should concentrate on dealing with this one.
……
On the other end, in the city lord's mansion.
Because Shen Jilan went to bed early, she woke up early the next day.
He asked the servant to boil hot water for him early in the morning, and after taking a nice bath, he wrestled with his clothes in the room for a long time.
By the time he finally stepped out of the room, an hour had passed!
Shen Jilan looked at the sky, it was about ten o'clock.Too late for breakfast, too early for lunch, no brunch here yet.
He didn't know what other people were doing, and he didn't want to deal with them in the past, so he hesitated for a long time, thinking whether to go back to the house for a day and forget it!
As a result, a young man hurried into the yard and called him, "My lord! Something has happened! Butler Shen asked the young man to notify you."
All right, someone has made arrangements for him, so Shen Jilan doesn't have to worry about it himself.
He followed the boy into the hall, and was surprised to find that except for his parents, everyone else was there, sitting in neat rows. When he entered, they all turned their heads to look at him.
Seeing him immediately wanted to lower his head and straighten his clothes...
Seeing him coming in, Shen Qi looked a little better, and said, "Young Master, please sit down! Something happened in the mansion last night!"
"What's the matter?" Shen Jilan sat down obediently, a little strange, he was so ignorant, why did Shen Qi ask him?Shouldn't we go to the wise and stalwart city lord?
Shen Qi saw his casual curiosity, and explained, "I have already reported to the city lord, but the city lord said he wanted to stay with his wife, and also said that the young master has grown up, and he should learn to help the family."
That's right, the young master was dismissed from the sect, so he can't cultivate, so it's better to help manage the affairs of the city, um... Although the young master probably won't survive the city lord.
hiss!After a hundred years from the young master, wouldn't the city lord have no successors? !
Shen Qi suddenly found that he had a new trouble.
It seems that we have to find an opportunity to let the city lord and his wife have another one.
His thoughts wandered in an instant, as if he saw a hundred years later, the city lord and his wife were heartbroken because of the young master's early death, and then they had no intention of doing anything about the city, and the tragic ending of the entire Huanjing city's decline!
It was related to the employment issue after a hundred years, Shen Qi looked at his heartless young master with a little sympathy, and finally he was drawn back to the matter in front of him by his good professionalism.
Don't worry, there's still a hundred years left... It's more important to settle this matter first.
He finally straightened his face and told Shen Jilan what happened last night.
Because of Lao Tao's temporary stay at the Shen family during these days, he had the idea of vowing to train the servants in the mansion to become the number one elite servant in the cultivation world.
So Shen Qi lived up to his name, and his brain circuit was very magical to formulate a series of rules and regulations for the servants.
The most eye-catching thing is that every morning, he will bring the little servant with him, uh, speaking of which, the little servant is actually the position of a group leader.
He adopts the management system in the army, and for every 20 servants, a team leader must be elected.There are six to seven hundred servants in the mansion, so there are thirty or forty team leaders.
Every morning, when the sun rises, he will line up people to ask questions. The content is nothing more than reviewing what he did yesterday and what he is going to do today.
When it's over, you have to shout a set of slogans and add a set of drills.
Hearing this, Shen Jilan was dumbfounded!
Huh?Is this person really not time-traveling?How to play the set of the modern service industry so well?
There seems to be a set of sales mixed in here?
Shen Jilan could barely retract the doubts that he was about to blurt out, he touched the table beside him with shaking hands, and poured himself a cup of warm tea.
After drinking the tea, his mood gradually calmed down, and he continued to listen to Shen Qi's narration.
But today, when Shen Qi was questioning, he found that one of the servants had a very strange expression.
He spoke vaguely about what he did yesterday, and he didn't understand what he was going to do today, and he needed reminders from those around him.
Shen Qi was furious at his inattentive attitude, and planned to take him under the knife and kill the chicken for the monkey to see!
But just when he was about to call someone to suppress the boy, the boy was sweating profusely and finally knelt down, crying and saying that he saw a black shadow appearing in the mansion last night.
The black shadow moved extremely fast, and seemed to be holding something on its shoulders.
I saw him looking back and forth, hiding under the corner to avoid the crowd, and when he came to a well in the yard, he put down the things he had been carrying on his shoulders.
The boy hid in the bushes, didn't dare to breathe out, covered his mouth tightly, saw him take out something, and threw it directly into the well.
The well made a dull "plop sound", as if something was slowly sinking down.
Shen Qi was shocked!
What if something is thrown into the well and the whole family eats and drinks?
Although there is more than one well in the mansion, who knows!
So I didn't care about the boy, and took people over to investigate, and it turned out...
A corpse was actually fished out of the well!
