Big brother, he is frail

The intrusion of the heavenly spirit plant has aroused the great attention of the superiors of the Lingyun sect.This Blood Ganoderma lucidum was not grown in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, no one knew where it came from, and how it got into the Spiritual Medicine Garden under the supervision of the Lingyun Sect.

The remnants of the blood ganoderma were recovered, and Aoki was in charge of handling them.

Originally, Aoki was very pleasantly surprised to see the legendary blood ganoderma, but after just one glance, he found that the blood ganoderma was quite different from the description handed down from ancient times.

Although he had never seen the blood ganoderma with his own eyes, the appearance alone did not match the description in the Ling Zhi Pu.At the same time, Aoki discovered that the aura emitted by the blood ganoderma is also very strange, different from the pure aura, but with a hint of evil spirit.

Evil spirit is generally related to the dead.

This made Aoki think of something.

Then check the liquid flowing out of the blood ganoderma, it is indeed human blood, not its own juice.That is to say, there is human blood stored in the blood ganoderma, and this human blood can also help it increase its strength, how strange it is to think about it.From this Aoki came to a conclusion, this is definitely not blood ganoderma.Maybe it was, but now it's just a monstrosity.

The matter to be investigated is put aside for the time being. If you want to find out the ins and outs, you need to take your time.The whole incident is shrouded in an impenetrable fog, and now is not the time to reveal the truth.

The most important thing now is the present.There was an unexpected accident in this herbal collection task, so it was terminated halfway, and Aoki needed to deal with the funeral.

The first thing to deal with is Xuan Yihu Xuan Yaoshi, Aoki thought that he should not entrust such an important matter to Xuan Yaoshi who likes to drink.There is a habit of going to sleep after drinking a pot of wine on weekdays.Although Xuan Yihu became the person in charge of the herb collection task, he felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.But in the middle of the task, he couldn't stand the boredom, and felt that nothing would happen to the small task, so he poured a few cups, and then fell asleep.

After Yao Qing and his crew carried the fainted Shao Yan back to find Xuan Yihu, it took a lot of effort to wake him up.At the same time, the battle on Lu Xinglan's side had come to an end, and the blood ganoderma was defeated.

Secondly, what Aoki has to solve is Shen Xizhou.

He called Shen Xizhou over, with a straight face.It seems that Aoki is really angry this time.He said: "I told you to protect them, is that how you protect them?"

Bai Ren persuaded from the side: "Elder, can you keep your voice down, it would be bad if you wake up senior brother."

It turned out that the place where they were talking was Lu Xinglan's bedroom. At this time, Lu Xinglan was still lying on the bed, his eyes were closed tightly, and his lips were a little white. Fortunately, his breathing was steady and there was no serious problem.

Aoki said: "Wouldn't it be better to wake up, how many days has he passed out? It's time to wake up."

Bai Ren let out an oh and stopped talking.

Senior Brother Shen, please pray for your own blessings, he was already "beaten" by Elder Aoki with a whip yesterday, and he doesn't want to set himself on fire again.

"..." Facing Aoki's accusation, Shen Xizhou had nothing to say.He did not protect Lu Xinglan well. He knew that he was in poor health and had no fighting power, but he left them for the sake of the blood ganoderma, putting the two of them in a dangerous situation.

At that time, he struggled a lot between catching blood ganoderma and protecting Lu Xinglan and Bai Ren, and chose the former.

Because he really needs the blood ganoderma.

But looking at Lu Xinglan who was still in a coma now, Shen Xizhou regretted it.It's not just that he failed the trust of the big brother...

Seeing that Shen Xizhou accepted his accusation honestly, Aoki couldn't say anything more ruthless.Sighed slightly annoyed, and said: "I, Aoki, have rich experience, have met all kinds of people, and can somewhat guess people's psychology. But why don't I understand what you are thinking? Sigh, in fact, I didn't You should be allowed to participate in missions. If you lack points, you have the ability to do many high-point missions in the mission hall, so there is no need to come to the elixir garden to do low-level missions."

"If we don't accept this task, the disciples will be very dangerous." Shen Xizhou said.

Aoki choked.What Shen Xizhou said was right, without him and Lu Xinglan, the situation of the disciples participating in the mission would have become very bad.

Maybe they will all be wiped out.

"Go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive the punishment." Aoki waved his hand.

Lingyunzong pays attention to clear rewards and punishments.Shen Xizhou saved the lives of dozens of disciples and wanted to reward him; out of selfishness, he did not report the appearance of the blood ganoderma in the elixir garden at the first time, but acted with another group without authorization and wanted to be punished.

Yao Qing and the team members he led were also punished. As the team leader, Yao Qing was punished even more severely, probably not being able to get off the ground for a few days.One of the team members, Shao Yanhui, was seriously injured, but his bad behavior could not be offset, nor could he escape punishment.

Shao Yanhui's attack made Xue Lingzhi almost go berserk, almost causing irreparable consequences.

"Yes." Shen Xizhou replied without any excuse.He just took a deep look at Lu Xinglan before leaving the room, wondering what he was thinking.He said to Bai Ren, "If senior brother wakes up while I am being punished in the Law Enforcement Hall, tell him for me that I have something to say to him."

Bai Ren agreed, "Okay."

Aoki smiled lightly on the side, and said: "Don't worry, your senior brother will not escape punishment. As the senior senior brother of Lingyun Sect, you should be able to distinguish the situation and should not let you do anything."

At this moment, Lu Xinglan was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, sweating profusely, and his hands hidden under the quilt were quietly clenched.In fact, he had been awake for a while, but after hearing the conversation between Aoki and Shen Xizhou, he dared not disturb them, especially after what Aoki said, Lu Xinglan didn't want to wake up anymore.

What Bai Ren said is right, Aoki's serious side is very scary.

"We've finished what we have to say, let's go out and don't disturb Xiao Xinglan."

Others sweat... you were the one who disturbed me first, right?

Qing Mu and Shen Xizhou left the room one after another, and Bai Ren also went out after covering Lu Xinglan with the quilt.

After the door was closed, Lu Xinglan opened his eyes resentfully, and sighed heavily.

He also has reflections.

He was half responsible for the accident, and Lu Xinglan would not refuse.Fortunately, everyone was safe in the end.

"squeak--"

While in a daze, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, and Lu Xinglan immediately closed his eyes in fright.The person who came in gently closed the door, and walked lightly to Lu Xinglan's bed.

Lu Xinglan was still pretending to be unconscious.

"Xiao Xinglan, I know you're already awake, don't pretend to be asleep." Aoki's voice came faintly by his ears.

Aoki turned back unexpectedly.

Lu Xinglan stopped pretending, and simply opened his eyes, looking at Aoki.Aoki still has a gentle smile, but that smile is permeating no matter how you look at it.

It turned out that Aoki always knew that he was awake, and what he said to Shen Xizhou just now was also for him.

"Elder, cough." As soon as Lu Xinglan opened his mouth, he found that his voice was extremely hoarse.

Aoki scolded: "Are you really thinking about it? Your health has finally improved, so just give me this one."

"..." Lu Xinglan was ashamed and speechless.

Aoki continued: "I don't know what secret method you used to use aura for a short time. You must pay a certain price to use this kind of secret method. I checked you when you passed out. Fortunately, it is only your body You are too weak, and you have fainted due to excessive use of spiritual energy, there is no other major problem, just take a good rest."

Lu Xinglan nodded obediently.

Seeing Lu Xinglan's obedient appearance, Aoki suddenly had a feeling of resentment: "Don't think that you won't have to accept punishment! But for the sake of your physical discomfort, let's take a lighter punishment this time. Copy the ancestral rules of Lingyun Sect a thousand times by hand."

Lu Xinglan:! ?

My lord, what era is this, why is there still a penalty for writing!

"Yes..." However, Lu Xinglan couldn't refute at all.

"Also, the matter about the blood ganoderma has been blocked, so don't tell the outside world. Now our news is that the sky-level spiritual plant planted in the elixir garden suddenly went berserk, and you and Shen Xizhou worked together to subdue it. But you got hurt again."

His fate is really full of disasters, Lu Xinglan thought helplessly.

Wait, Lu Xinglan suddenly had an idea.

Did the blood ganoderma incident really not happen in the original book?Because Shen Xizhou did not participate in the herb-collecting task and did not take the line of the elixir garden, Shen Xizhou had no way of knowing what happened in the elixir garden when news of the blood Ganoderma lucidum was blocked.

If according to the plot in the original book, if they didn't kill the blood ganoderma, would some disciples die because of it?

It's very possible.

"There is nothing special other than that, you are staying in this room now, don't go anywhere," Aoki said, "I always feel that wherever you go, something will happen."

To be precise, it was not Lu Xinglan who had an accident, but Shen Xizhou.After all, every protagonist has this kind of physique for plotting, which cannot be avoided.

However, Lu Xinglan still has another concern, which is the blood ganoderma.It came out of nowhere, and it was very weird in itself, Lu Xinglan wanted to know more about it.It's a pity that Aoki said that he doesn't know much now.

However, Aoki is worthy of being an elder, with profound knowledge, he has a guess: "Little Xinglan, have you heard of Ganoderma lucidum?"

Lu Xinglan shook his head. He had never heard of this Lingzhi's name, but this name was very similar to Blood Ganoderma lucidum. Could it be a similar species?

"Wood ganoderma and blood ganoderma are only one word apart, but the grades are very different. The former is just a very common black-level ganoderma, while the latter is a rare celestial-level ganoderma. They are both called ganoderma. There are similarities. My guess is that if someone deliberately packs the wood ganoderma, and then uses some forbidden methods to mutate the wood ganoderma into a heaven-level spiritual plant, and let it evolve into a blood ganoderma, it is not impossible. After all, there are so many wonders in the world Well."

"So that blood ganoderma may actually be a mutated wood ganoderma?" And is it artificial?This reminded Lu Xinglan of some weird experiments in the movie, such as modifying biological genes...

"It's just a conjecture, it hasn't been confirmed yet."

So he hasn't told anyone about his conjecture yet.It doesn't matter to let Lu Xinglan know this idea.

"Ah, by the way, Elder." Lu Xinglan hesitated to ask, "Have our points met your requirements?"

"Unfortunately, the spiritual plants you picked were destroyed during the battle with the blood ganoderma." Aoki replied.

"Is that so..."

Seeing Lu Xinglan's slightly disappointed expression, Aoki said again: "But you later caught a heaven-level spiritual plant. Although it was an accident, I counted it as a reward of [-] points for you. Originally, the [-] points Your team and Yao Qing's team are divided into half, but Yao Qing told me that their team didn't do anything, so they didn't ask for the five thousand points."

"Well, let's say you barely pass."

The mission of the Spirit Medicine Garden was successfully completed.

Aoki didn't stay here for too long with Lu Xinglan, he still wanted to continue to study the blood ganoderma.The person who put the blood ganoderma in the elixir garden must have some purpose.Not to mention how he escaped the eyes of everyone in the Spiritual Medicine Garden with the blood ganoderma, if that person causes chaos in the sect in the same way later, everyone in the Lingyun Sect will absolutely not allow it.

After Aoki left, Lu Xinglan stared at the ceiling for a while, then fell asleep again.

This time he had a dream, the dream was the familiar elixir garden, the difference was that the blood ganoderma was not beheaded by Shen Xizhou and him, but the disciples who were attacked by surprise caused a rage and massacred in the elixir garden , blood stained the ground and trunks red, like hell on earth.Lu Xinglan wandered around here like a wandering soul, he could only watch the tragedy happen but could not stop it.After the blood ganoderma had killed enough, it lay beside the piled corpses, as if waiting for something.

Lu Xinglan's eyes suddenly widened. He saw a man in a black robe descending from the sky.Xue Lingzhi was very excited when he saw the man in black, and eagerly rubbed against the man.The man avoided the blood ganoderma in disgust, walked to the corpse, and stretched out his hand.

The palm of his hand glowed red, and the blood of the corpses was introduced into the body of the blood ganoderma little by little, and the corpses gradually dried up.Blood Ganoderma lucidum looked satiated, and the wounds on his body also healed in a good way.

Just when Lu Xinglan thought it was over, he saw the man in black put his hands on the cap of the blood ganoderma, and a strange pattern appeared on it, the light went from weak to strong, and finally emitted a dazzling red light, fully activated.The body of the blood ganoderma seemed to be cremated, slowly burning up, turning into streaks of blood, which were inhaled by the man in black.

Even in a dream, Lu Xinglan could feel the soaring strength of the man in black, which made him feel very palpitating.

"It's not enough, I have to be stronger..." the man said, and to Lu Xinglan's ears, his voice turned into a synthetic sound that was flickering from far to near, extremely weird, "More, otherwise, just Can't..."

His tone was a little irritable, and while talking to himself, he suddenly pointed his head at Lu Xinglan.

It was as if he had sensed Lu Xinglan.

Lu Xinglan woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

What kind of dream is this, what do you want to tell him?Lu Xinglan realized that he was already drenched in sweat.

For the time being, remember the tragedy in the elixir garden, the blood ganoderma, the mysterious man in black, and the weird spell.

The man in black should be the culprit who put the blood ganoderma in the elixir garden.

He uses the blood ganoderma as a medium to absorb the blood and spiritual power of others to improve his own strength.

There was a lot of information, Lu Xinglan planned to tell Aoki this important clue tomorrow, but Lu Xinglan didn't think it was just an ordinary dream.I hope Aoki can believe his words and don't treat him as a fool.

I don't know how long Lu Xinglan slept just now, but now, the room is already dark, obviously it's already dark.The cool breeze blowing in through the window gave Lu Xinglan the idea of ​​going out for a walk, which could calm down his mood.

Lu Xinglan casually put on a coat and went out.

The moon in Xiuxian Continent is so bright, it's like the moon itself is shining, but it's very soft.Under the moonlight, you can have a panoramic view of the panacea garden at night.

But being too clear is not a good thing.Lu Xinglan vaguely saw a black shadow behind a big tree over there.The heart that was finally relieved just now lifted up again.

The shadow has been quietly staying behind the tree, as if there is no hostility?Lu Xinglan boldly walked over slowly and softly.The closer you get, the clearer you can see.

It turned out to be Shen Xizhou.

He was leaning against the big tree, closing his eyes and resting his mind. For some reason, he didn't even notice that Lu Xinglan was approaching.

"Junior Brother Shen?" Lu Xinglan still planned to wake him up, why is Shen Xizhou sleeping here?

Shen Xizhou opened his eyes in a daze, his eyes revealed a deep sense of exhaustion, and his whole body softened.This was the first time Lu Xinglan saw Shen Xizhou in such a state.Usually he is calm and rational, and there is never any extra emotion on his face, let alone the expression of showing weakness now.

"Eldest brother?" Shen Xizhou's voice was very soft, as if he was very tired.

"it's me."

"Elder Brother, I'm sorry..."
