You Ziji descended from Tianyu Peak and walked for several miles. He felt as if someone was following him. He stopped and looked around. He saw only luxuriant grass and lush old trees, and not even the birds that could be seen on the branches at any time. There is no trace of anyone else in his body shape.
Thinking about which master had hidden his whereabouts, You Ziji was unsure. He walked faster and faster, thinking of getting away as soon as possible and getting rid of the unknown monk hanging behind him. After his last training, his body skills were no weaker than those of the man in black he met two days ago, but the feeling of being watched still lingered in his heart, and the people behind him seemed to be following closely.
The sun was setting in the west, and the light in the dense forest was already dim. You Ziji did not dare to delay. He held up the wind and sped away, thinking of returning to Tiangui Peak. Even if someone with evil intentions really took action, the brothers and sisters would not Won't stand idly by.
He put his feet on the wind and used the force of the wind to slide forward. Although it was not as good as flying with a sword, it was still faster than swinging his legs on the ground and rushing forward.
Perhaps one of the seniors was very interested and wanted to tease him. Seeing You Ziji riding the wind, he also speeded up and followed him.
You Ziji sighed helplessly. Unexpectedly, in just a few days on Xuanming Road, he would always encounter these masters who had never seen the beginning or end of the dragon. He stopped and shouted to the empty mountain behind him: "I don't know which senior it is. If you have any instructions, please show up and speak."
I shouted several times in succession, but got no response.
Just when You Ziji believed that there was a senior with extremely bad taste behind him, You Ziji finally saw a black figure. It was petite and its face could not be seen clearly. Its movements were so light that it was weird. Its feet could not touch the ground, and it could only gently move. You can turn and accelerate with just one click without making any noise. You Ziji even suspected that it was a clumsy illusion, because except for his eyes, his other senses could not sense its existence at all.
"Ghost? It doesn't look like that."
It looked familiar to You Ziji. It was the man in black who stole the herbs that day.
"Well, you delivered it to your door yourself, and you pretended to be Senior Brother Ji to mislead me. I want to see who you are!"
The black shadow saw You Ziji stop and stare with scarlet eyes, as if he was about to take action. He also saw You Ziji on full alert, showing his mouth full of jagged and neat fangs, mumbling something unknown.
…
Hua Yunying did not return to Tianyu Peak until the evening. She spent the whole afternoon training Dongfang An and Xiaomiao, hoping that they would skillfully perform the lines she wrote before the monks from Qingjingzhai arrived.
In the countryside on the top of the mountain, she was already in the state of looking at the moon, and her spiritual consciousness was vast. She could see the situation clearly. She was a little surprised. The speed at which You Ziji cleaned up the pests was really beyond imagination. Yesterday, only one third of it was completed, and today there are only half of it left. The fields below have been basically cleared.
Is Samadhi True Fire really suitable for killing insects? If this is indeed the case, she will have the idea of taking the real fire of Samadhi. Naturally, the junior brother cannot be harmed, but if he catches a mysterious monster secretly, no one will know.
It had never occurred to her that You Ziji could master Xiao Zhou Tian's secret technique proficiently in one day.
Hua Yunying is attentive. After being busy during the day in recent days, only night is the time that truly belongs to her, and she can practice completely quietly.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, fell into concentration, and practiced the exercises. A vision soon appeared on her body. She seemed to be in the vast sea, and the mist was steaming, covering her figure. But all this was illusion. Light and shadow are not objects. There is a ball of clear water in his Dantian, which is very aura, as if it is the spiritual source of life, going back and forth inside and outside the body over and over again. The water mist on Tianyu Peak fell with her breathing, like clouds turning and rain turning, forming a cycle of reincarnation.
The originally ordinary water vapor was affected by Hua Yunying's breathing, containing a lot of spiritual power, and turned into fairy nectar that nourished all things. After a long time, it became calm again.
This is exactly the water movement among the five movements and six qi of Xuan Ming Dao, and the spiritual source of emptiness that is as famous as Chang Yunbai's Five Directions Zhen Tan Ban. After the cultivation is completed, spiritual sources will be generated in every movement of hands and feet, which is the initial source of energy for all living beings.
When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning, the sun was shining high, and the sunlight shone on her face through the window, showing a solemn scene, like a goddess.
Solving the problem of Qingjingzhai in the past two days has been the top priority. She does not need to teach morning classes with Gu Xuan.
He stood up and stretched, his sleeves fell down to reveal his white lotus-rooted arms, supporting his graceful curves. With a flick of her jade hand on the bronze mirror, a picture appeared on it. The hidden pest that You Ziji had not found and its nest suddenly appeared on the bronze mirror.
She cast a magic trick with one hand, and streaks of lightning emerged from the air and turned into sharp needles and silver threads, piercing through them in the direction guided by the bronze mirror to kill the pests. The other hand was not idle, so he went to the closet and took out a set of clothes to put on. It was cyan as a base and paired with a purple blouse, which made him look very mature. He wanted to be more dignified in front of his uncle, which would be more conducive to teaching.
As for the clothes I changed, I used a set of small Zhoutian secret techniques to serve them directly. I prayed for rain to clean them, prayed for sunny days to dry them, and then put them away in the closet. My movements were fluid. I think this was not the first time I had done this.
Hua Yunying is naturally beautiful and does not need too much modification. Her eyebrows are just a little heavy, showing a bit of heroism. She took out her eyebrow pencil and carefully painted on her face to make her face softer before going out.
She came to the mountain gate and continued to teach Dongfang An how to perform, but there was an explosion at Tiangui Peak. Until the end of the morning class, she did not see You Ziji arrive.
At first, Gu Xuan thought that Hua Yunying had arranged other things for his junior brother, but then the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. If Hua Yunying really had this idea, she would definitely communicate with him, and even if it was too late, she would explain it to him in the morning. There has been no movement for half a day, so something must have happened.
He reached out and grabbed his own shadow, picked up a lump of black material, and moved his fingers to turn the object into a crow, which flew towards the mountain gate and found Hua Yunying.
"Is this a message from Second Senior Brother?"
Hua Yunying and Dongfang An were shocked when they saw Crow, wondering what important matter Gu Xuan had.
The crow landed on a rock, and the sunlight shone directly, making its body almost transparent, and no shadow was cast under it. It opened its mouth and faced the two of them and said in Gu Xuan's voice, "Junior sister, did you see my junior brother last night?"
"No, he didn't go back last night?" Hua Yunying immediately guessed that something happened to You Ziji.
Dongfang An was very concerned when he heard that it was You Ziji's matter, "What's wrong with my nephew?"
"He has not been seen all morning. I asked Xiaogui and he was not seen when delivering food last night." Gu Xuan told all the information he had obtained.
"A lot of pests have been eliminated on Tianyu Peak. There should be a problem when we went back. I will go back and look for clues." Hua Yunying was annoyed in her heart. If she had taken more care, this kind of thing would not have happened. When something goes wrong with her junior brother, she cannot escape the blame.
"I'm going to help too." Dongfang An couldn't sit still when he heard this.
"Then I'll excuse you. I'll take the other junior brothers and sisters to look for it at Tiangui Peak."
After the crow conveyed Gu Xuan's last words, it seemed as if the ice had melted, turning back into a black shadow and dissipating in the air.
…
Searching directly in the mountains and forests was like finding a needle in a haystack, so Hua Yunying and Dongfang An had no choice but to return to Tianyu Peak to look for some clues. The traces left by You Ziji are very clear, and coupled with the progress of pest eradication, the scope of You Ziji's activities in the mountaintop pastoral is basically defined.
Although Hua Yunying goes in and out of Tianyu Peak every day and uses her spiritual consciousness to scan the general situation, she has not yet observed the details. She was thoughtful when she saw insect corpses all over the ground in the vegetable garden.
On the other side, Dongfang An came out of the flower forest with Xiao Miao. He held a few pieces of insect armor in his hand, "These should be left by the pests in the yard. I don't know why these are the only ones left."
Hua Yunying explained: "Junior brother generally uses the Samadhi True Fire to get rid of insects. Some beetles may have thick bodies, and the Samadhi True Fire passes through them instantly. Although it kills them, it cannot burn them all to ashes, so only the beetles are left. Down these carapace.”
Dongfang An An nodded, agreeing with this statement, but then he asked: "What about this vegetable garden? Why are the insect corpses everywhere here."
"This is also my question. It seems that the wound was caused by the silver thread, but he has only been exposed to Xiao Zhoutian's secret technique for less than two days, and can he use it so skillfully?"
Hearing Hua Yunying's question, Dongfang sighed secretly: "If I hadn't personally tested him in front of the mountain gate, I wouldn't have regretted his talent, and I couldn't believe that he still has such an outrageous physique in this world."
As he spoke, he stared intently at the insect corpses on the ground, and sure enough, he noticed something strange.
"Why are the insects here missing their limbs? Could it be that my nephew is unfamiliar with his magic and made a mistake?"
Hua Yunying also came over and frowned after reading, "Silver thread cannot cause this kind of wound, it's more like being torn apart by a sharp weapon."
"As we all know, my nephew doesn't know how to use weapons." Dongfang An added.
"There is a second person present!" Hua Yunying was confused after coming to the conclusion, got up and walked straight into the flowers. She found a flower tree with flowers like crabapples, white with pink.
Hua Yunying stroked the tree trunk with her palm and felt its feelings quietly. After a long time, she turned back to Dongfang An and said, "There are indeed other people in this yard, but Haitang can't describe the appearance of that black shadow."
Dongfang secretly knew that the old flower tree in front of him had developed intelligence after it had lived for who knows how long. Hua Yunying often took care of it and could communicate clearly with each other. Its description must be the closest to the truth. Could it be that You Ziji was a man who hid his whereabouts? Someone hijacked it?
He snorted viciously, "Someone is actually playing tricks in Xuanming Dao. I want to see who it is."
"There was nothing wrong with my junior brother before he left Tianyu Peak. He must have been kidnapped on the way back. Let's look for clues along the way."
"Let's leave now."
