When the bell rang, Lin Du was practicing the spiritual consciousness technique with his master.
The winter in the Supreme Sect is extremely long, but for the two masters and disciples, it is an excellent training season.
The bell only rang once, but Lin Du quickly stood up.
"The sect is called, Master, I will go first."
Yan Ye nodded perfunctorily, "Go quickly and come back early. I will really look down on you if you come back injured because of such a low-level task."
That is the bell used by the Supreme Sect to summon all the current disciples in the sect. One ring will call for a low-level monk, three times will call for a third-level monk or above, and so on.
Lindu is within the forbidden area, some distance away from the main peak, and is the last to arrive.
He Gui's expression was not as kind as when he first met during the Zhongzhou election. Instead, he had a solemn expression. He was talking to the disciples, and his eyes softened slightly when he saw Lin Du coming.
"Actually, it's okay if Junior Sister doesn't come."
Lin Du waved his hand, "Don't do this. I'm not that porcelain doll that breaks at the touch of a touch. What's the important matter?"
He Gui continued to talk. After all, the danger was not too high, otherwise low-level disciples would not be asked to do it.
"The nearby Heding Village sent a distress signal to the sect, saying that there are monsters coming down the mountain to hurt people nearby. You go and investigate first, and protect the village and their spiritual fields. If you catch them, tie them back and throw them away if you can. The zoo will give you sparring practice."
In winter, it is common for wild beasts to be hungry and come down the mountain to hurt people. There are generally no big monsters around here, they are all monsters that have not yet transformed and are in the enlightenment stage.
As a large sect, enjoying the nourishment of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and concentrating cultivation resources, it is not just to raise a group of powerful monks to compete with who is more powerful, but to protect the spiritual world, protect the sect's territory, and protect those with poor spiritual roots. Ordinary people.
The high platform of righteousness is always littered with corpses, and saving people is a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
They have this responsibility to protect people and the world.
"What if I can't be kidnapped?" Yuan Ye asked.
Monsters that can eat people are not good beasts that can be tied back obediently. Even the pigs and Shuyan they kept in captivity had to be chased and intercepted for at least half an hour when they were captured and killed.
"Then just kill the cook and add food to the meal." Lin Du answered with a smile. She was familiar with this job.
He Gui smiled and glanced at Lin Du, "Junior sister is right."
Ni Jinxuan then spoke, "Uncle Junior is right!"
Heding Village was not far away. A group of six people didn't even want a flying boat. Four people who had not yet reached the third stage of Soaring Cloud Realm sacrificed flying magic weapons and followed Mo Lin and Tianwu as they galloped all the way. Their robes were blown away. Hunting sound.
There had just been a heavy snowfall, the ground was covered with thick frost, and the sky was still gray with a hazy halo.
Flying in such weather would not be too dazzling. The children were laughing and choking on the wind, so they were forced to wear gauze scarves to cover their mouths and noses.
"This is the first time we have received a sect mission." Yuan Ye was inexplicably excited, covering his head with a gauze scarf and not forgetting to speak.
Yan Qing answered calmly, "I don't know whether it's a blind bear or a golden tiger, but we can finally have a serious fight."
Lin Du turned his head and glanced at the eldest of the four new disciples, "I remember that you said you were a scholar."
"Young uncle, you don't understand. In the northern part of Zhongzhou, all the monks who have practiced physical skills want to prove themselves by beating a tiger." Yan Qing spoke a little dullly through the gauze scarf.
Scholars use reason to convince people, but they have to be people.
Mo Lin nodded in agreement.
Lin Du really didn't understand these two straight men.
She turned to look at Yuan Ye, who was not a local a year ago. His phoenix eyes were particularly energetic at the moment, "Okay, let's fight the tiger! I want to ride a tiger and fight!"
Lin Du: ...Forget it, a bunch of naughty kids.
"But I'm afraid I'll be disappointed when I arrive. After all, ferocious beasts are rare. When I came last time, I found out that the village was just because the dog next door liked to steal chickens and ate them rudely. There were chicken feathers and blood all over the place. As a result, they were killed. The villagers thought it was a wild beast coming down from the mountain to hurt people.”
Mo Lin sighed, and his face suddenly showed a bit of vicissitudes of life.
Yuan Ye was a little disappointed, "Then what?"
"Then we investigated for a day and caught the dog Zheng Xing. The two families got into a quarrel and almost fought. In order to mediate, the elder brother stood between the two families. In the end, eggs and rotten cabbage leaves were smashed on the head."
Xia Tian Wu opened his mouth and added.
Lin Du glanced at the tall and handsome young man at the front. He couldn't bear it anymore and thought about wearing a veil. He couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.
Thank you, Second Martial Nephew, otherwise it would be somewhat impolite.
Heding Village was indeed not far away. It was only a dozen miles away from Dingjiucheng. A group of people arrived quickly, laughing and joking.
But soon they stopped laughing.
The thick smell of blood in the air indicated that an attack had just occurred.
The six people all took out their own spiritual treasures with condensed expressions.
The long wind blows through the accumulated snow road, blowing up a swirling snow powder. From a high altitude, the scattered low-rise courtyards in the countryside should be peaceful and peaceful. At this moment, the snow piled up in front of the house, but no one has cleared the road out. The cold light reflected from the snow was a bit dazzling.
A short, helpless scream sounded out.
"Ah...ah..."
The sound was like the sound of a stunned person squeezing out of his throat. He had lost the ability to speak, and only his original instincts remained.
Lin Du had lived in Luoze all year round and was not affected by this cold light. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and locked onto one place.
"Where."
She took the lead in mobilizing the magic weapon with her mind and moved it chaotically towards that place. The tips of the dark green bamboo leaves bent in the air, leaving a white aura tail in the air.
"I am Lin Du, a disciple of the Supreme Sect."
Lin Du fell into the courtyard, paused, and just revealed his identity without saying anything else.
The door of the room was wide open, and a middle-aged woman was sitting on her knees on the ground. She was hopelessly trying over and over again to pick up traces of her relatives from the minced meat on the ground.
Lin Du did not move and stood quietly at the door. After a long time, he finally said, "Sorry, please forgive me. We will catch the monster."
Because the Chinese New Year had just begun, red Chinese characters for blessing and couplets were still hanging on the doorways of the houses. This is a custom in the village and is rarely seen in the city.
At this moment, those happy blessings had turned into a sarcastic and eye-catching red, and were blown apart by the cold wind.
The person in the room suddenly turned around, and his face, which was purple due to the snow and cold, showed an empty and desperate sadness. The woman murmured in a low voice, "My child, my child!"
She suddenly came to her senses, and then finally burst into tears.
"You, why are you too late!!! My child!!!"
Lin Du turned his head in silence, arriving a step too late.
There are always many delays in life.
But she quickly noticed the words in those words, what does it mean... too?
Yuan Ye stood in the courtyard, glanced inside, and then frowned.
He has always disliked blood, and even after watching it countless times, he still wasn't used to it.
