Dharma

The next morning.

"Senior Sister, is it really okay for us to live in the inn like this for more than half a month?" Xiang Li and Yu Shuguang walked in the corridor of the inn and asked in a low voice.Seeing Yu Shuguang raised his eyebrows slightly, he immediately explained, "I'm not questioning the enchantment of senior sister, I just..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Shuguang raising a hand, "I know, you are just a little anxious, worried that we will attract too many people's attention by doing this, and it is not safe." After having bad memories of being chased and fleeing, I am not used to putting myself in an environment where people care about me.Now the Jiuhua faction lives alone in the inn, and the monks who pretend to pass by outside can fill up half of Jiangyun City. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are attracting attention. At this time, their little brother Xiang Li will probably lose his basic sense judgement.Yu Shuguang knew very well that he must have completely skipped those good situations last night, and listed at least fifty of the worst situations in fear, and tossed and turned for fear that these situations would come true, and could not sleep all night.

Based on his deep understanding and understanding of the younger brother, Yu Shuguang patiently explained to him as he walked, "Now is not a good time for the major strongholds to split, the current situation has evolved to the point where we have to unite and work together. When doing something. And there are still people who want to be the leader of the alliance. At this time, even if Brother Xia appears, the monks in the four strongholds will not be able to unite to deal with us. We just need to prevent them from coming Yes. Junior brother, you really don’t have to worry too much.”

"I'm really not too worried this time, I..." Xiang Li moved his palms, trying to explain, but before he finished speaking, Yu Shuguang turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Believe in the master!" Brother, he will never let us be in a desperate situation, right?"

Hearing this, Xiang Li became a little depressed in an instant. He nodded, lowered his hands, and replied listlessly: "That's right, the senior brother of the sect leader will never tell us to take risks. But..."

"There are not so many, but, Junior Brother, you can't always be like this, you have to learn to think about the good side, right? I know that the rumor was definitely not leaked by you, but you can't just start the rumor just because there is a rumor outside. Doubt over and over again that I accidentally leaked it somewhere? Senior Brother Sect Leader brought you out this time, and I hope you can learn not to think of everything in the worst way. In fact, those things you think of Bad situations, basically, basically can't happen, you know?"

"Okay... But Senior Sister, I think I may have remembered something weird that night. Do you remember that orange cloth lantern, the one closest to the barrier? I looked at it a few more times and felt It was weird, and now I finally know what's wrong."

Yu Shuguang stopped in his tracks, "I didn't pay attention to that lantern, what's wrong?"

"The painting on that lantern is not quite right. The portraits on other lanterns are all lighter in color. I saw that one the other day. It was very thick, as if a similar painting was reprinted on it. Sister, I thought about it yesterday, maybe someone He had the same suspicion as us, and left a talisman there for investigation."

"Well, I will report this matter to the senior brother in charge later. If it is true, you will be much more relaxed? You see, not all the worst situations will come to you." Yu Shuguang smiled and bent his eyes, encouraging look at him.

"It's much more relaxed...Fortunately, I probably didn't accidentally leak it." Xiang Li replied absent-mindedly. He seemed to be a little bit happier, but on the whole, he was still more depressed, "If I The troubles caused will disappoint the sect master brother."

"Except for yourself, no one thinks that way, Junior Brother." Yu Shuguang pulled Xiang Li and stopped in the corridor where no one was around, "I was with you the whole time, and I know you didn't make any mistakes. And didn't you find something wrong? Now you just need to check if there are traces of spells left by the lantern. Not only will you not disappoint the senior brother in charge, but you will also surprise him. In fact, I already feel that This is a surprise. If you hadn't noticed the lantern, we would have spent several days to check all the registered disciples who knew about it and everyone they had contact with. You are far from what you think It’s so bad, Junior Brother. Do you know?”

Yu Shuguang stared at Xiang Xiang Li's eyes, Xiang Li blushed slightly under her serious gaze, then nodded, "I see, Senior Sister."

Yu Shuguang smiled again, tilted his head slightly, and signaled him to go on with him, "Now, we just need to happily meet Brother Xia together. It doesn't matter if you don't have much impression of him , Senior Sister, I still remember him. In fact, Senior Brother Xia is a very nice person, I think you may have a lot of... well, you can talk about it together."

"Really?" Xiang Li finally let go of his frustration, and asked, "What does Brother Xia like?"

"I don't know what Senior Brother Xia still likes now. But you don't have to worry, Senior Brother Xia is a talkative person. As long as you talk to him well, he will like you."

"Oh."

"So the head brother intends to let you protect him, and I feel at ease. He has been imprisoned for more than ten years. No matter what the outside world says, our official disciples of the Jiuhua Sect are only a few people now, and we have to keep him Look at it as a senior brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Shuguang lowered her voice and said to him, she always regarded Xiang Li as her younger brother, and if the senior brother entrusted him with such an important task, she naturally had to give him more instructions.But Xiang Li was obviously concerned about another important point. His eyes widened and he barely jumped up. He said in disbelief, "What? Brother Sect Leader asked me to protect him? How can this work? I, I can't do it! I I'm only in the middle stage of Golden Core, how can I keep Senior Brother Xia from a group of monks who are probably Dongxu Mahayana?"

"As long as you don't run around, there's no need to do this? I asked you to protect Senior Brother Xia just in case. Besides, isn't this your strong point, Senior Brother? No matter what the situation is, as long as you can bring Senior Brother Xia to find Hide in an absolutely safe place, stall for time, and wait for us to rescue you.”

"But Senior Sister, I never thought that there would be any absolutely safe place in this world. What if I not only failed to protect Senior Brother Xia, but we were also arrested? How could I escape them like that South Sea Xuan Weng yesterday? s eyes?"

"Junior brother, you really should have more confidence in yourself. Believe in the senior brother, the senior sister, and yourself. It doesn't matter whether there is an absolutely safe place in this world. The important thing is that you always have the ability to find it. One place. Brother Sect Leader may encounter an invincible enemy, and my barrier may be broken by Gao Xiu in an instant. Only you can dodge it skillfully. Therefore, you are more suitable than Senior Brother Sect Leader and I to protect Senior Brother Xia .”

"But I don't think that's just in case. It's really possible...I mean, what if Brother Xia just loves to run around?"

"Senior brother Xia has been imprisoned for 12 years. What is safer than being with us? He won't do that. Don't worry, the bad things you worry about won't really happen."

"but……"

"No but, come with Senior Sister." Yu Shuguang took a few steps forward, and waved to him with a smile.

Xiang Li is worried too much, this is his shortcoming, but sometimes, it can also be an advantage.After discussing with Liu Xiangchen and Yu Shuguang, Yu Shuguang also felt that they are the most suitable candidates for this little junior brother who always feels unsafe everywhere and likes to think of the worst. Mistakes hit, always thinking about the worst-case scenario to avoid those worst-case scenarios.

This was supposed to be a security measure implemented this morning, but the operation was beyond Yu Shuguang's expectation. The senior brother in charge actually thought that senior brother Xia might not agree to it, so he couldn't force it.

In fact, Yu Shuguang didn't quite agree with this point. She always thought that Senior Brother Xia was easy to talk to. She remembered that Senior Brother Xia was shy and delicate when he was a child, and looked like a little girl. He was also bewitched by Xia Jingge, and once thought that all senior brothers would like wreaths as much as he did, something that only little girls like.

Moreover, Yu Shuguang recalled that Senior Brother Xia was a bit like Junior Junior Brother in one way, and he basically had no confidence in his aptitude and ability.Even though the junior brother was frightened when he was a child and couldn't break it back, senior brother Xia really didn't have high cultivation qualifications... But who cares about the cause, the result is like this, she thinks that the two of them can have a lot to talk about.Of course, when I think about it, I can't really say this to hurt the hearts of my junior brother and Xia senior brother.

Although he didn't quite agree with Liu Xiangchen's decision, Yu Shuguang still followed his advice and took Xiang Li away first, so that their brothers and sisters could get to know each other first and cultivate some brotherhood before mentioning the matter.

Yu Shuguang stood still in front of Xia Jingge's room door, raised a hand and gently knocked on the door. "Senior Brother Xia? I am Shuguang, have you woken up yet?"

"Senior sister, I want to tell you something." Xiang Li stared at the door and swallowed.

"Let's go in and talk. We're at the door of Brother Xia's room." Xiang Li stopped talking, and Yu Shuguang waited for a while, but there was no reply from the room.Yu Shuguang's smile gradually froze, turned into a worried expression, and raised his voice, "Senior Brother Xia? Are you still sleeping?...Brother Xia?"

Still no sound.Yu Shuguang decisively cast a spell and broke in.

The room was clean and tidy, but empty.Yu Shuguang ran into the room to check the situation and clues, feeling anxious for a moment.She has always been very confident in her enchantment, so someone can sneak in under her nose without anyone noticing?

At this time, Xiang Li hesitated behind her: "Actually, I couldn't close my eyes all night last night. I kept thinking about some bad situations, and then I heard some voices from the magic room next to me. It seemed...it seemed In the middle of the night, Senior Brother Xia ran to find that demon. I think Senior Brother Xia should still be there, right?"

"No, they are no longer in that room." Yu Shuguang frowned and picked up a note on the table that was pressed by the teacup.

She began to realize that this senior brother Xia 12 years later was different from the little senior brother Xia in her memory who was worried that she would not be able to run far, that she could not perform spells well, and that she could not play games well enough to spoil other people's interest.

He was not worried at all about being kidnapped and locked up by a strange monk. At this moment when everyone was staring at the inn, how could he still have the courage to go to the Cloud Sword Sect to hand in the task of exorcising evil spirits with his other one?

What caused such a change in a young boy who had been locked up for more than ten years?

...Is it because of that demon?

Yu Shuguang put away the note, and said: "Go to the exorcism list mission to find Senior Brother Xia, and when you find him, you must persuade him to come back immediately, and I will go to Senior Brother Xia."

"Ah?" Xiang Li looked at the note in her hand, and immediately turned into a bitter face, "Didn't you say that such a bad situation will basically never happen? Now it really happened. What else is there?" possible?"

Yu Shuguang said calmly: "Junior brother, what if means that it happens once in ten thousand times. Now that the worst 'what if' has happened, is there a worse situation that can happen? Is it more likely than you?" It’s still too low to run into another monk with a flying sword. Go find them.”

"I'll just go. Seriously, I really think something worse will happen. Then senior sister, I'm leaving, you and the sect master brother should hurry up and save me~" Xiang Li had a bitter look on his face. It flew out like a whoosh.

Yu Shuguang just looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, endured it, endured it, turned around and went back to the room to get the sword.She had to keep this place as it was, and then quietly go to the Yunjian faction to find Liu Xiangchen.
