Lu Yuan has gone through many changes and is no longer the child he used to be. He met Gu Nanfeng's gaze and said coldly: "Whatever the master demands, I, Lu Yuan, will die without mercy!"
Gu Nanfeng said loudly: "Okay! It's rare for you to have such filial piety. There is a Sangmu Village a hundred miles west of my sect. Monsters have been particularly rampant recently, and our sect is currently short of manpower. Go there and kill one. Monster, give me the demon pill. The antidote will be given to you naturally."
Go to Mulberry Village! ?
The disciples were all shocked when they heard this.
For some unknown reason, a large number of demons have arrived in Sangmu Village recently, killing all the villagers.
Xuantian Sect also sent disciples to exterminate them several times, but those monsters were very intelligent and cunning. When they saw the demon-suppressing team coming, they all hid themselves and launched an unexpected attack. As a result, the disciples suffered heavy casualties.
When going to slay demons, usually a team of ten or so people go there, there is absolutely no reason to go alone.
The lowest level of monsters there is nearly second level, and there are even third level monsters appearing. Lu Yuan's cultivation level is obvious at a glance, he is only one level two star. Such a test made it clear that Gu Nanfeng wanted to use the demon to kill people.
Many people had playful smiles on their lips. They just wanted to see what Lu Yuan would do.
"The monsters in Sangmu Village are very powerful. Even our disciples who are higher than Lu Yuan will suffer casualties if they go there. If he goes there now, he will die!" Mu Rong looked sullen.
Gu Nanfeng smiled and said: "Isn't this simple? If you are afraid of death, then don't go."
Lu Yuan stood up, straightened his back and said, "Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity."
Crazy, this kid is crazy! Qiu Jizi said in his heart. When he was a Grand Master of the second level of Xuanli, he went to Xuanze for training. It was not as dangerous as the current Sangmu Village, and he almost capsized in the ditch.
"Well, that's good. It's getting late today, so you can rest here all night and set off tomorrow morning. When you get the demon pill back, I'll summon my disciples to give you the antidote in Tianmeitang, so that you can walk away in glory. !" Gu Nanfeng laughed.
Lu Yuan laughed in his heart and said: Let me make a fool of myself again in Tianmeitang. He pretended to believe it and said: "Okay! If the leader promises a thousand dollars, the boy will definitely get the demon pill!"
…
The waning moon is setting in the west, and the wind is as cold as a knife.
There are no lights in the guest room. Lu Yuan wanted to quietly feel the moonlight.
He still remembers where his bedroom was and everything that happened that night...
After thinking wildly for a while, at the fourth watch, Lu Yuan put the concealment charm that his senior sister had given him before on his body, slowly opened the window, and jumped out gently.
At this time, he and Mu Rong had made an appointment before.
The small monitoring array outside the door seemed to detect some noise, so it fired a burst of mysterious energy waves towards the window.
Mu Rong manipulated the magic circle during the day. At this time, Lu Yuan, with the blessing of the concealment talisman and the light pace of his own demon master, easily avoided the detection of the magic circle.
He tiptoed and walked toward the Demon Suppression Tower alone.
Insects chirp at night and the mountain air is elegant.
Lu Yuan took a few deep breaths of air and felt that the profound energy in his body began to flow rapidly.
Since he understood the "Zhengqing Heart Sutra", his ears and eyes have become extremely sharp, and he can clearly see distant objects in the dark.
Walking to the outside of the tower, Lu Yuan saw Mu Rong looking around at a glance.
He learned an insect cry.
Murong looked in the direction of Lu Yuan, nodded, and then walked towards several patrolling disciples beside the tower.
She said a few words to the disciples, and the patrolling disciples all went in the other direction.
Lu Yuan quickly ran over: "I have troubled Senior Sister since I was a child, and I even despise myself."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Let's leave quickly, or the patrolman will come back."
The two walked quickly and quietly to the foot of the tower.
In the night, only half of the Demon Suppression Tower was left in dilapidated condition. This tower used to have a majestic appearance and was a forbidden place where monsters big and small were frightened. But now it is squatting lonely in a corner like a late hero. The terrible fractures on the tower's body still seem to be silently accusing the thunder that night. Some bats built their nests in the dilapidated areas, coming in and out, making the place look increasingly desolate.
Lu Yuan had no intention of taking a closer look, and walked to the outer corner of the north side of the tower with Murong.
A white tomb stood there alone.
Qing Xuanzi did not like extravagance during his lifetime, so his disciples built a simple tomb for him according to his daily habits. There are no fancy carvings in the entire tomb, only a line of vigorous large characters engraved on the tombstone:
Therefore, the tomb of Qing Xuanzi, the leader of the former master.
When Lu Yuan saw the tombstone, he knelt down with a plop and burst into tears.
But he didn't dare cry.
Many beautiful past events in Xuantian Sect suddenly came to mind like rivers and seas bursting their banks. Master's love and care will never be forgotten by him.
Lu Yuan pinched the soil to make it sweet and cried softly: "Master! My unfilial disciple Lu Yuan... came to see you! Are you... are you okay over there?"
Mu Rong immediately pressed his shoulder lightly, signaling him to restrain his emotions and keep quiet.
However, she knew that Lu Yuan wanted to be alone with his master at this moment, so she walked aside and looked at the direction in which the patrolling disciples were leaving.
Master, Master, are you there?
Lu Yuan kept calling in his heart.
No response.
There is only the rustling evening breeze.
He began to feel anxious. Will something happen to Master?
Lu Yuan continued to call, but there was still no response.
After a while, Murong turned around and whispered: "Hurry up, they are back!"
Lu Yuan's heart sank, something must have happened to his master.
While his thoughts were in turmoil, a small firefly flew to the mouth of Lu Yuan's Qiankun bag.
"Walk!"
An old voice echoed in his mind.
When Lu Yuan saw this firefly, he immediately reacted.
He gently put the bug into the Qiankun bag, and then quickly left the Demon Suppression Tower under the cover of Mu Rong.
Mu Rong sent Lu Yuan to a more private place, held his hand and said: "Junior brother, it will be extremely dangerous to subdue monsters tomorrow, you must be careful. If you can't defeat the monster, run away quickly, your life is at stake. As for the antidote, we will You can still think of another way, you know?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
Mu Rong took out three talismans from the Small Universe Bag and handed them to Lu Yuan.
This talisman faintly exudes a light red light. It had unreadable charms written on it and a small red lotus painted on it.
"This is an elementary to mid-level talisman. It's called the Red Lotus Talisman. It should be the highest level talisman you can use currently. It can explode when activated. Its power is equivalent to a full-strength strike of a late-level monk. It can be used to save your life at critical moments. !”
Lu Yuan took it and couldn't help but recall the scene where he and his senior sister learned talismans together.
He clearly remembered that all magical instruments, talismans, elixirs, etc. were divided into six levels: elementary, middle, high, wonderful, absolutely, and immortal, and each level was divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The monk only needs to use less profound energy to activate the power of the talisman.
Mu Rong touched Lu Yuan's head, with a look of reluctance and worry on her face.
"Senior sister, don't worry, Xiaoyuan is no longer the crybabies he used to be. Even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den ahead, I will still break through!"
Mu Rong nodded and said goodbye to Lu Yuan reluctantly, and her graceful figure disappeared into the thick night.
Lu Yuan returned to the room. After confirming the surrounding situation, he immediately jumped on the bed and hid under the quilt.
He carefully released the firefly from the Qiankun Bag, and after taking a closer look, he realized that it was not a small insect.
It was a light blue soul body that flickered on and off.
"Xiao Yuan, you are finally here." Qing Xuanzi's remnant soul said happily.
