This was the first time someone praised her name for being nice. Bai Ruyan didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at the handsome young man in front of her. She held the wet white silk handkerchief tightly in her hands and said nervously: "I want to go back to the palace." I'm going, thank you sir!"
She thanked him again, then bent down to pick up the pebbles she had found in the stream, and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Han Zhu stopped her again, and Bai Ruyan was startled, looking up at him stupidly, not knowing what was wrong with him.
Han Zhu said: "I almost forgot, I'm here to ask for directions. Miss Bai, do you know how to get to Wild Cat Ridge?"
"Wild Cat Ridge? Master, are you going to Wild Cat Ridge?"
Han Zhu nodded, Bai Ruyan was a little surprised, and then said: "There is a cat demon in the Wild Cat Ridge. It is a dangerous place. Why do you want to go there?"
Hanzhu smiled and said, "I'm going to hunt the cat demon."
"Hunting the cat demon? I heard Master said that there is a cat corpse demon in the Wild Cat Ridge that has been around for thousands of years. This cat demon has boundless magic power and is very powerful. It has killed many passers-by, so the Cat Demon Ridge has now become a taboo. Why do you have to go to this land?"
Han Zhu said: "I came here to hunt down the cat corpse king. The cat demon has a ten thousand year demon pill. This is my first killing mission."
"First kill?"
In order to train disciples, all major sects and families will arrange for their disciples to perform first kills. The success or failure of the first kill mission will determine the future fate of this disciple.
But why is this young man's first hunting mission so difficult? You need to know that even her master Songyue Sanren is afraid of the cat demon, let alone a young boy like him.
Bai Ruyan said hurriedly: "Mr. Han, you can't kill the thousand-year-old cat corpse king. I advise you to find another prey!"
Han Zhu smiled slightly and said: "Of course not. This is the first hunting mission my master has given me. How can I fail?"
Han Zhu's master, Wang Cangchuan, was a weirdo. Han Zhu had never hunted any monster before. He saw that demon disciples of the same age had already completed their first kill mission and were constantly undergoing hunting trials, but he had been practicing martial arts.
Except for his master Wang Cangchuan, he didn't even fight anyone else.
His cultivation can be described as closed-ended. Now, as soon as he takes action, the master asks him to hunt down the Ten Thousand Years Cat Corpse King, and tells him that he can complete this task with his ability.
The master has high expectations for Hanzhu and has always taught in his own way. First of all, he does not let Hanzhu fight with anyone other than himself, nor does he let him hunt. The purpose is to make Hanzhu have no standard of reference. , he can only practice alone. In this way, he will not know what his own strength is, and there will be no comparison and slackness. He will continue to improve, constantly improve himself, and only compare with himself.
In fact, his ability has long surpassed that of young disciples of his generation, and the master asked him to hunt such terrifying monsters because he wanted him to have a higher starting point than others and reach a higher peak in the future.
So what if the first kill is early? What if you kill many monsters? His first kill was a powerful monster like the Cat Corpse King, so he would naturally be more outstanding than the demon disciples of the same age.
And one of the things Master says most often is, Hanzhu, Master believes in you, you can definitely do it! As long as his master's words were there, Han Zhu would never believe that he was incapable of success.
Hanzhu has always believed in his master. Since his master thinks he has the ability to hunt down this dead cat king, he will definitely be able to do it.
He smiled and said to Bai Ruyan: "You don't have to worry, I can kill that dead cat!"
After the young man finished speaking, he left with a face full of confidence.
Bai Ruyan looked at her in a daze, feeling that this young man was not from the same world as herself.
Back at Xuanshuang Palace, Bai Ruyan happened to bump into her master Situ Xuanshuang. Situ Xuanshuang was called Songyue Sanren and was an extremely stern person.
When she saw Bai Ruyan walking in covered with water stains, she immediately felt indecent and couldn't help but frown. Bai Ruyan was startled and hurriedly hid the pebbles in her arms, and then her hands were hard to grasp. All the cobblestones, including a few warm stones, fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing the few geese rolling on the ground, Situ Xuanshuang's expression became even worse. She said coldly: "Ayan, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
Bai Ruyan stopped and said timidly: "I...I went to the stream with my fellow apprentices."
"They have all come back, why are you coming back now?"
Bai Ruyan looked at her master's stern look and couldn't help but lower her head in fear. The master had a beautiful face, but why was he so stern? I heard that Master was a very easy-going person when he was young. Will everyone become like this after becoming a palace master?
Bai Ruyan said: "I met a young master by the stream."
"A young gentleman?"
Bai Ruyan did not dare to tell Han Zhu about returning her silk handkerchief, but said, "He asked me for directions and said he was going to Wild Cat Ridge."
"That's nonsense. There is a cat demon causing trouble in Wild Cat Ridge. What is he doing there?"
"The disciple told him the same thing, but he said that he was ordered by his master to hunt down the Cat Corpse King. This was his first killing mission."
Situ Xuanshuang frowned more and more, and scolded: "That's nonsense. How can a young man kill the Cat Corpse King? Ayan, you are talking more and more nonsense now!"
Bai Ruyan shrank her neck and shivered with fear. Even though the master never punished female disciples like them, she spoke sharply and they treated her like a mother. Seeing Yan's mother angry, she naturally felt scared and uneasy. If it were a male Disciple, you will never be so nervous.
But Bai Ruyan is a female disciple, and she is also an extremely well-behaved and sensible female disciple. She does not want Master to dislike her in everything she does. Master's happiness and anger are her standards for life. If she makes Master unhappy, then she is doing something wrong. of.
She hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Master, please believe what the disciple said. The young man said that his name was Han Zhu, and he was ordered by the master to complete the first kill mission... Master, I see that the young man is thin and only carried one weapon." With a long sword, no elders to accompany him, and no beasts to drive him, he is going to Wild Cat Ridge, he doesn’t know how high the sky is, he is afraid that his life will be in vain!"
Situ Xuanshuang was nicknamed Songyue Sanren. Although she was strict and old-fashioned, she was a compassionate woman. She frowned slightly, put her hands behind her back and said, "If what you said is true, I'm afraid that young man's life will not be saved. The Ten Thousand Years Cat Corpse King is no small matter. He is new to the world, and this is his first time hunting. He has no experience, and he is afraid that his life will be in vain! But he doesn’t know if his master has a grudge against him? How could he do this?"
Seeing that the master was moved by compassion, Bai Ruyan stepped up his persuasion and said, "Master is right. I feel that the young man's master has a grudge against him and wants him to die at the claws of a cat demon at such a young age. Master's Wildcat Ridge is not far from our place, and you are the most compassionate person, why not save his life!"
The Wild Cat Ridge is fifty miles away from Xuanshuang Palace. Although there are cat monsters in the mountains that cause mischief, they were banned by an expert twenty years ago, so these cat monsters can only cause trouble in the Wild Cat Ridge and cannot leave.
However, with the passage of time, the restrictions have gradually begun to loosen, so it is inevitable that some people who mistakenly fall into it will die at the hands of the cat demon.
Situ Xuanshuang called a few capable female disciples and then walked up to the Wild Cat Ridge with his sword.
Bai Ruyan was naturally among them. She was worried about the boy's safety, but she didn't dare to show it for fear of being laughed at by her fellow apprentices.
The master didn't think much about it. He stared into the distance, thinking that he was just a young man. He must not be far away. If he rushed here, he might be able to intercept him halfway. But they searched all the way and saw no one.
Senior Sister Meng Qiao turned around and asked: "Sixth Junior Sister, are you lying? Why can't anyone find traces of Xuan Lingzhu?"
The Xuanling Pearl is the spiritual treasure of the Xuanshuang Palace. It has powerful spiritual power and has been the possession of all the masters of the Xuanshuang Palace. At this moment, the white Xuanling Pearl is flying in the forest. If it senses that there are people near the forest, it will It will emit purple light.
Bai Ruyan said: "Sister, I'm not lying. Didn't you also see that young man just now?"
Meng Qiao was choked by her and was speechless for a moment.
Second senior sister Ning Xing said: "Master, has Master Han entered Wild Cat Ridge?"
Although Situ Xuanshuang thought it was unlikely that they were flying with swords and logically should have caught up with the young man, but he did not rule out that the young man had the ability to travel thousands of miles and had already entered the Wild Cat Ridge.
Situ Xuanshuang was still very calm on the surface. She looked at the dark mountains, and then said to the disciples of Xuanshuang Palace next to her: "Forget it, this will be your test. You will go in with me for inspection later. Don't leave the team rashly and impulsively. If you have a teacher along the way, you don't have to worry even if you encounter the Cat Corpse King."
"Yes - Master!"
With a "Crack" sound, Situ Xuanshuang drew out the sphenoid bone sword in his hand, and then flew into the legendary Wild Cat Ridge with a group of female disciples.
Although Wild Cat Ridge is fifty miles away from Xuanshuang Palace, these female disciples strictly abide by the palace rules and have never entered rashly. Today is the first time they have visited it, not to mention entering it at night, and they suddenly shuddered.
However, Situ Xuanshuang seemed quite calm. To these female disciples, Wildcat Ridge was a strange place, but to her, it was a familiar place. She had never forgotten that she hunted cats with that man in Wildcat Ridge. As for the demon, that person finally sealed this place with a ban.
That man was just a passing Taoist master. She never even knew his name. He just laughed and called himself Wu Ming. She remembered that he once said something to her. He was wearing a weapon called Full Moon Tribulation. The bell, and then... there was no later.
Situ Xuanshuang gathered her mind to prevent herself from being distracted by other things, and then focused on looking ahead. Here, this forbidden place, this forbidden place in her heart.
The group of female disciples following her looked around, only to feel that the surroundings were eerily silent, and some people began to whisper.
