Wearing Books as a Demon
Chapter 26
Zhang Shi was shocked and hurried in.Through the curtain, he couldn't see the face of the person inside clearly, he only felt a coughing sound, and then it became more and more intense.
"Brother Sect Leader, is your injury okay?" Although he claimed to other disciples that the Sect Leader's injury was not serious, in fact, he had not seen the Sect Leader after the incident happened.
All the situation at that time was informed by the servant boy, and even the skeleton was discovered by the servant boy.
"It's just a small injury, it's fine." Xie Tianji's face at this time was even older than the previous few days.The white hair can no longer be concealed, and the skin on the body is also showing signs of aging.
Recently, the strength in his body has been drained a lot, but one or two disciples can't fill the gap at all, he needs more...more youth.
"Reporting to the head of the sect, another disciple has died, and the cause of death is unknown. I am worried that if this continues, the security of the sect will be disturbed, so I ask the head to go out and preside over this matter." Zhang Shi was worried, and the current situation was beyond his ability. It's under control.
But hearing the headmaster's voice, it didn't look like a minor injury, and he couldn't help but feel even more worried.
"The head of Japan will leave the customs in a few days. You don't have to worry about tracking down the murderer. You just need to refine your elixir." Xie Tianji's words were full of dissatisfaction, and the anger was transmitted through the curtain.
Even the hoarse voice shocked Zhang Shi, and he immediately fell to his knees.Thinking of the safety of the entire sect, he still boldly continued to advise, "Brother sect master, alchemy is a small matter, and catching the murderer is the top priority. Otherwise..."
The following words were interrupted forcefully.
"You just follow the instructions of the head, and I will arrange other things." Xie Tian impatiently stopped the person from continuing, and slammed the table and chair.
The creaking sound was particularly ear-piercing, Zhang Shi did not dare to disobey, and stepped back respectfully.
The head explained that the elixir he made was only to replenish qi and blood, not a magic elixir.He really didn't understand why the head of the sect was so eager to ask for these medicines, even disregarding his disciple's life.
For the current plan, he can only hope that the head will get better as soon as possible, and then he will go out to take charge of the overall situation.
After these few days, the disciples in the ancient sword gate were all afraid of the coming of night, because night portends danger.Even though they were careful, some disciples still died.
This time, the three disciples who were watching the night died in the hands of the mysterious man, in the same manner as the previous disciples.
Now at this critical juncture, Elder Zhang has also retreated, and everyone in the inner sect is in panic all day long, living in fear of the unknown.
Even the disciples who deliver meals every day claim to be ill and don't want to go out again.
Even though it's broad daylight.
Ying Changlou sat at the door and waited for a long time, his stomach growled several times, but no one came to deliver the food.He had no choice but to go to the kitchen himself and ask what happened.
However, only Chen Ran was busy in the kitchen. Seeing him, he shrank back in fear at first, and then forced out a smile, speaking with fear.
"Junior Brother Ying, why did you come?" Chen Ran was preparing the meal, and almost knocked over the dish with a trembling hand.
Seeing his appearance, Ying Changlou thought of what Yao Bai had said, suddenly smiled and took two steps forward abruptly.
The sudden movement made Chen Ran tremble again. This time, he failed to keep the food in his hand and spilled it all on the ground.
"Junior Brother Ying, this is food for you." Chen Ran squatted down on the verge of crying, biting his lip while looking at the mess on the ground, showing a bit of anger on his face.
But he didn't dare to blame Ying Changlou.
Not only because of the identity of the other party's inner disciple, but also because of the secret.
"Make another one." Ying Changlou felt that he had played too much, touched his nose, took two steps back, and left in a hurry after speaking.
As for Chen Ran, he knelt on the ground alone to deal with the debris and residue all over the place.Even if you cut your hand, you can only endure it.
Ying Changlou returned empty-handed, met Shang Yaobai's questioning eyes, and was embarrassed to say that he bullied a child, so he could only make up a random excuse.
"The kitchen is too busy, and the food will be delivered later,"
"Go and change clothes." Yao Bai glanced at the man, closed his eyes and meditated again.He must reach the bigu stage before the head of the sect leaves the customs.
Now that the situation in the sect is getting more and more serious, it seems that Xie Tianji's rejuvenation technique has encountered a bottleneck, and this person will definitely absorb more skills from his disciples next.
Only by becoming stronger can he cope with this crisis.
But Ying Changlou didn't have such worries, he was still struggling with the soup stains on his clothes.In fact, it is only a trace of the size of a grain of rice, which cannot be seen at all unless you look closely.
But Yaobai insisted on changing his clothes.
Even though Ying Changlou was reluctant, he still followed his advice.
"Should we tell Elder Zhang about this?" Ying Changlou changed his clothes, moved a bench to sit beside Yao Bai, and discussed with others in a low voice.
"No need." Yaobai opened his eyes, with a calm and calm expression on his face, "We have no evidence, and even if we say it, no one will believe it. On the contrary, it will startle the snake and cause death."
Having said that, Ying Changlou still couldn't bear to watch these disciples die.Although he is not familiar with those people, he is still alive anyway, and he always wants to do something.
"Then what should we do?"
The corner of Yaobai's mouth twitched, showing a contemptuous smile, "Wait."
He closed his eyes to hide the cruelty in his eyes, "Their life and death have nothing to do with us, you don't have to pity them."
"Brother Yao, this is not good." Ying Changlou discussed and asked the young man for his opinion, "How about I remind them."
"So what if you remind me, will they believe you? Even if they believe you, what ability do they have to fight against the sect leader." Yao Bai's words are bloody, and although the words are ruthless, they are very realistic.
Ying Changlou was defeated.
He wanted to be a good person, but unfortunately, others may not appreciate it.
In the afternoon, someone brought lunch over.The person who came was none other than Chen Ran.
Ying Changlou took the food and thanked him rarely, which made Chen Ran startled, and looked back at Yao Bai.
"Brother Ying is being polite, I should be the one thanking you." Chen Ran seemed to sigh, said a few polite words and left.
The distant back is a little lonely, making people feel that this young man is more mature, not as frivolous as when they first met.
"Brother Yao, come over to eat." Ying Changlou shook his head and laughed, then turned to wipe the table, then arranged the food and called people to come over.
Yaobai didn't feel so relaxed.Because Chen Ran looked at him just now, obviously hesitant to speak.
"You eat first, and I'll come as soon as I go." Yao Bai picked up his sword and chased people away like the wind.
Ying Changlou blinked and put down his chopsticks with a blank expression.
He really didn't understand what Yao Bai was going to do in such a hurry.
Even with a sword.
Could it be to kill someone?
Thinking of this, Ying Changlou panicked, shook his chopsticks and ran out the door.He walked for a while in the direction of the outer door, but he didn't see the two of them.Turning back again, a hidden place appeared in my mind.
Sure enough, in the grove where he practiced swords, he saw two people.
With blood dripping from the corner of Chen Ran's mouth, he knelt down on the ground.And Yaobai's sword had a dangerous cold light, and at the moment when he was about to swing it down, Ying Changlou hurriedly stopped him.
"Brother Yao, don't kill him."
A sword shadow flashed by, Yao Bai put the sword back into its sheath, and said coldly, "If you tell this secret, I will kill you."
The composure and earnestness in his eyes were the same as before, but this time Chen Ran felt chills and fear.
Strangely, but not sadly.
Chen Ran clutched his injured cheek, he could feel that sword energy had cut through his flesh and hit his cheekbones.The warm liquid was left between his fingers, and he sat on the ground absentmindedly, staring blankly at the ground as if he didn't feel any pain.
Originally, he wanted to tell people about the identity of Yingchanglou Snake Demon, but he only said a word, and Yao Bai mercilessly injured him, and then drew his sword.If Ying Changlou hadn't come in time, he might have died.
In this way, the people he targeted everywhere saved him three times.
Chen Ran felt relieved suddenly.He has long understood that Yao Bai's tenderness towards him is all fake.It's just that I have been deceiving myself, thinking that this person will always be moved by me one day.
Now, he really recognized the reality.
Ever since Yaobai brought him to this secret place, he felt the last ray of hope in his heart was broken.So when the opponent shot, he didn't have any resistance.
I just want to seek relief.
However, he is still alive.
If Ying Changlou hadn't come in time, Yao Bai's sword would have relieved his worries.Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Ying Changlou's kindness.While eating, he kept a cold face and didn't answer.
"Brother Yao, I don't think Chen Ran will reveal my identity with such a white-eyed wolf." Ying Changlou consciously cleared the table when the young man was furious.
Normally, this kind of thing would be done by Yao Bai, and he could just sit and shake his legs after eating.
"If he can tell me your identity, he must be able to tell others." Yao Bai picked up the sword again, with anger and killing intent in his eyes.
Ying Changlou was wiping the table, and hurriedly ran over to stop him with his arms outstretched.The stains on the dishcloth he shook off in a hasty movement were all over the place, and then the familiar disgust appeared in people's eyes again.
"Take it away." Yao Bai took two steps back, frowning.
"Brother Yao, don't be impulsive. I believe Chen Ran will not say it, after all, I have saved it several times. Besides, if he wanted to say it, he would have said it long ago. Why wait until now." Ying Changlou put back the rag, consciously He stepped back slowly, and softened his voice to persuade people.
Yaobai didn't think these words made sense, he believed that only the dead could truly keep their mouths shut.But this person was so persistent, he hesitated for a while, and finally put down his sword and sat back.
Ying Changlou breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily what he said was useful to others.
"Brother Sect Leader, is your injury okay?" Although he claimed to other disciples that the Sect Leader's injury was not serious, in fact, he had not seen the Sect Leader after the incident happened.
All the situation at that time was informed by the servant boy, and even the skeleton was discovered by the servant boy.
