The Demon Sect was not originally called the Demon Sect, but so many people called it that in the world that their original name was forgotten.
They drove the carriage across two bridges, a forest, and crossed a stream. They walked into the dead of night and saw the entrance of a valley with the word Yayoi engraved on it. Yun Zhi was so moved that she wanted to shed tears. Tears are back, finally back.
She really doesn't want to follow the Saint anymore in the short term. Her mission is to follow the Saint to protect her safety, but the Saint always shows up but never ends. It's too difficult for her to be on tenterhooks every day!
"It's Sister Yunzhi! The Saint is back! Go and report quickly, the Saint is back!" The guard at the door knew Yunzhi and let them in after routinely checking people and cards.
The Demon Sect is located in a mountain, which is more like a secluded mountain villa than other sects.
After entering the gate and passing through a bridge, the view becomes wider, with fields, streams and trees on both sides. This location is very large, with a horse farm, a school field, and complete facilities. Walking inside is the living area, with houses of different sizes and yards, and the layout is very random. The largest and most gorgeous courtyard among them looks like a palace. It is the courtyard of the leader and the saint. In front is the main hall, which is like a meeting hall. When you go through the back door, you can see that it is connected to another courtyard and Room.
Even though it was already late at night, there were still people patrolling the Yayoi Cult, and servants came to help take away the carriage and move things back to the saint's residence, in an orderly and orderly manner.
Yun Zhi went to settle the newly brought girl by Ruan Xianbei. She was busy for half an hour in the middle of the night, but the news of the saint's return had spread throughout the devil sect in an instant. The big devil returned after being away for half a month. Some people were happy. Someone is worried.
But Ruan Xianbei went back through the side door. Who could walk through such a big hall all day long? It was scary. As a beneficiary of theism, Ruan Xianbei naturally firmly adheres to the core values of society and does not believe in ghosts and gods.
As soon as she returned to the room, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late." Ruan Xianbei got up and opened the door and saw Ruan Yan's maid, Ziyao, standing at the door.
"Holy girl." Ziyao saluted Ruan Xianbei and said, "The leader asked you to go find him again tomorrow morning."
Ruan Xianbei looked helpless: "Sister Ziyao, why is my brother still up so late? How about I go find her now?"
Ziyao smiled and said: "The saint should rest first, the leader is still busy."
Ruan Xianbei scratched his head, wondering where he could sleep here: "Ah... Big brother likes this. It makes people nervous and annoying."
Ziyao smiled lightly, said that the saint should rest early after hard work, and then left.
…
On this sunny and breezy morning, Ruan Yan had just finished washing and opened the door. The first person he saw was Ruan Xianbei, who was kneeling at his door with a note on his face that read: Brother, I was wrong.
Ruan Yan was startled by her, frowned and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
No wonder the maids just came in and out with unconcealed smiles on their faces, it turned out that she was playing tricks.
Ruan Xianbei stopped showing off her disguise when she returned to the church. With big dark circles under her eyes, she moved over pitifully and hugged Ruan Yan's legs: "Brother, I was wrong. I just had an extra meal."
"The food at home is not enough for you?" A simple meal? Ruan Yan laughed angrily when he heard what she said. He ate one simple meal after another, and the distance back was twice as long. It seemed that she had completely forgotten what she had sent back first.
"I was wrong." Ruan Xianbei thinks that his greatest advantage is that he admits his mistakes very quickly. As for whether to change it or not, that is a matter for later.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Xianbei got stuck, raised his head, glanced at Ruan Yan's expression, and replied weakly: "Uh... are you back late?"
very good.
"Ziyao, close the door."
Ruan Yan shook off her hand and decided to ignore it.
"Sorry, Saint." Ziyao covered her mouth and smiled, and had no choice but to close the door obediently. When she turned around, she blinked at Ruan Xianbei. She closed the door slowly but not completely, which still left her a glimmer of hope.
"Woo! Brother!" Ruan Xianbei shouted instantly and rushed over, patting the door and putting her head in. She was outside the house, and the paper on her face floated up and down with her movements. It was so funny.
The maids and servants outside have long been accustomed to this scene. The saint is so lively, cute and ghostly. How can the leader be really angry with her?
Ruan Yan frowned and glanced at Ziyao, wanting to say that he was spoiled by you all. Ziyao smiled at him and said, "Master, I'm going to get breakfast."
Ziyao came in with several maids carrying breakfast food, set the table, and then left.
"Come in and eat." Ruan Yan said.
"Thank you, brother! You are truly my dear brother!" Ruan Xianbei stood up quickly, sat on the table and stretched his face in front of Ruan Yan, "Brother, please help me tear it up, it means you are not angry anymore."
Ruan Yan tore up the paper with a cold face, and saw that there were still a few words on the back. It said crookedly, "Brother, I love you!" For a moment, his stern face softened a bit, I was really annoyed by her!
Ziyao brought a basin and towel to clean Ruan Xianbei's hands. After all, it was a bit unhygienic to eat directly while rubbing on the floor.
"I heard that you brought another woman back?" Ruan Yan asked.
"Wow, this is my favorite silver roll!" The silver roll is stuffed with vermicelli, cucumber shreds and carrot shreds. It tastes refreshing and crisp. After washing his hands, Ruan Xianbei couldn't wait to take a roll and stuff it into his mouth, with a look on his face. He looked at Ruan Yan blankly.
"Brother, were you rude just now?"
This little sister can't be beaten. There's no need to be angry. Ruan Yan took a breath and then repeated what he just said.
Only then did Ruan Xianbei hear it clearly and said: "Oh, yes, the concubine of the landowner's house who has more than ten rooms. This one is only fifteen years old. She is very young. She owed a lot of debt to her father for medical treatment, so she was sold to him. .”
"No one is home?"
"Ang, my father is dead, and my mother has remarried with her younger brother. I don't know where she went, and I haven't contacted her. Let's just treat him as dead together." She curled her lips. Look, if you want to be rich, have fewer children and more trees. Otherwise, if you can’t afford it, you’ll have to sell it!
"Although it doesn't matter if you have one more person, isn't it too much to bring someone home every time you go out?"
"So I was like this before?" Ruan Xianbei accidentally said what was in his heart and quickly covered his mouth. He confidently opened his eyes and lied: "Eh? What should I do? I'm not doing something good by eating someone else's meal for free. !" After saying that, she finished the roll in her hand and turned to look at Ziyao: "Sister Ziyao, I also want to have a piece of double-skinned milk, is that okay?"
"Ah, by the way, it needs milk and sugar!"
It is said that double-skinned milk was created in the late Qing Dynasty. It was made by a local farmer in Shunde, Guangdong, who accidentally mixed water in buffalo milk while cooking breakfast in the early morning.
Ruan Xianbei didn't know what kind of dynasty she was in. Anyway, she told the cook how to make the food she liked. The cook was very good. She only had to try to cook it a few times and she would get it right.
"Holy Maid, wait a minute, let the kitchen do the cooking now." Ziyao is the maid after all, so she doesn't have to go by herself. She gave a few instructions to the maid outside, and then let people go to the kitchen, while she waited outside. .
"Brother, eat more." Ruan Xianbei ignored Ruan Yan's eyes that revealed whether your brain was broken, and put a piece of carrot cake in Ruan Yan's bowl.
Ruan Yan snorted at her, feeling full of anger.
"Oh, brother, I'm angry. This woman's father is a poor scholar. When his father was alive, he also learned some knowledge and could do embroidery. If his father hadn't passed away, he wouldn't be in such a situation. You don't want to be taught by a teacher. Can the children find a teacher? She can do it. I passed her test yesterday and the most basic literacy is still acceptable."
"Literacy?" Ruan Yan heard another new word.
"Eradicate illiteracy! You don't even know this. Illiteracy means that the person is blind and can't read Chinese characters." Ruan Xianbei's overly natural explanation made Ruan Yan suspicious of himself. His sister always said something when she went out. New stuff, should he go out for a walk?
"Okay, okay, you put the people in place and you can handle this matter." Ruan Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with her on this topic. Since it would save him the trouble of sending someone to kidnap a teacher outside, he could It’s ready-made, so let’s use it first.
"By the way, you asked Yun Cai and Elder Wang to come back first and ask about the number of people in the church." Ruan Yan finally got to the point of the question.
"It's like this. Something happened at this martial arts meeting. It was like this, like this, like this... So I wonder if the problem is within us?" After Ruan Xianbei's simple description, Ruan Yan understood. A rough idea.
"No one has been out for the past half month." Ruan Yan said solemnly.
"It's strange... Then why does that person know the tricks of our sect?" Ruan Xianbei bit his chopsticks and thought for a long time. He was puzzled and suddenly thought of something when he caught a glimpse of Ruan Yan's expression.
"It can't be──" Ruan Xianbei pointed at his face.
"Ruan Ruan!" Ruan Yan interrupted her.
Ruan Xianbei shut up at the right time, pulled up his mouth like a zipper, smiled flatteringly at Ruan Yan, and concentrated on eating.
After a while, Zi Yao knocked on the door, took the plate from the little maid's hand, and came in with the double-skinned milk she asked for.
Ruan Xianbei glanced at Ruan Yan and asked with his eyes, do you want to eat?
Ruan Yan raised his forehead and said, "You eat, you eat."
"Oh oh oh! Okay!" Ruan Xianbei scooped up a spoonful of double skin milk and blew it into his mouth. Ouch! tasty! The temperature is just right and the milk tastes just right! The aroma is rich and melts in your mouth. It is best to eat and drink. It is really too tiring to use your brain, so it is better to just do it.
Ruan Xianbei knew that she should be in the Tianxuan realm, so was Shen Xuan, and so was Ruan Yan. Anyway, as long as she couldn't see clearly, there was a high probability that her cultivation level was higher than hers.
Ruan Xianbei finished the double-skinned milk and ate some before putting down his chopsticks.
"Have you finished eating? Go in and talk." For the convenience of the bedroom, Ruan Yan opened a door next to the study room, so he could go there directly. After speaking, he told Ziyao: "The Saint and I have important matters to discuss."
"Yes." Ziyao took the maid away, closed the table, closed the door and left.
Ruan Xianbei praised Ruan Yan repeatedly when he saw that he opened the door from the bedroom and went directly to the study.
"As expected of my big brother!"
"Men who work hard are the most handsome!"
"Brother is so great! Although your work is good, don't work too hard~"
Ruan Yan finally laughed out loud when he saw her dog-legged look, and his stern face could no longer look fierce. He nodded her forehead and said, "If you don't cause me more trouble, I won't have a hard time."
Ruan Xianbei laughed and moved his chair to the desk, sat down, and asked: "That thing just now...is it related to my face?"
Ruan Yan did not answer her words. He walked to the table and took out a drawing and spread it out. It was a map with some red dots marked on it. He said: "These are the things people in the world said in the past five years who have seen the demon sect." The place of the middleman.”
Ruan Xianbei lowered her head and said, "Oh, what a good fellow, it's a densely packed area." She said with a sigh: "We commit murder, robbery, arson, and all kinds of evil???"
"What are you thinking? Most of them were not done by us. None of the people I sent out to investigate this matter or to fight with them in private did not come back alive, and there was very little information in hand. And every time we have The casualties will eventually turn into public opinion that we are the ones who killed."
Ruan Yan looked at her seriously and said: "Of course, we have also lost a lot of people on the other side, and it is obvious that the other side is also checking where we are hiding. And you are in a very dangerous situation now."
"Why do I?"
Ruan Yan looked at her word by word and said, "Because someone has seen you before."
Ruan Xianbei was stunned.
