Chapter 124: Leaving the Seclusion "Two Chapters in One" (1/2)

Chapter 124: Out of the Gate "Two Chapters in One"

Although he encountered strange things one after another, Bai Zhi took Bai Huahua and Jiuwei to walk down the mountain again, considering that it was rare for him to go out once. When he saw that it was getting dark, he went back home.

As for the suspected spiritual place at the bottom of the waterfall, Bai Zhi sensed the existence of a barrier, so it was not easy to rush in. He planned to wait until his strength recovered and then choose another day to explore.

Back at the Saint's Mansion, Bai Huahua slipped to the bottom of the lake to sleep, and Bai Zhi told Yang Shi Ning what he encountered during the trip today. Of course, he omitted the ghostly clip of the three spiders courting and the "Immortal Reincarnation Gu" mentioned by Jiugong Lu Ling.

"Ye Chuyang is back?" Yang Shi Ning's face was slightly surprised.

"Is it really the Saint Son of your teaching?" Although Bai Zhi was prepared, he still didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

"Well, the body characteristics of the three spiders are very consistent with Ye Chuyang's contracted monsters, and Jiuwei also knows him." Yang Shi Ning said with certainty.

"Didn't you say he was out traveling?" Bai Zhi secretly curled her lips, thinking to herself, can you, the saint, be more reliable? Why is she so isolated from information?

"It seems... it is related to the fact that the leader is about to come out of retreat." Yang Shi Ning thought for a while and said.

"... What did you say?"

"Sorry, Lord Bai Zhi, I just heard the elders' notice. I didn't expect that the leader, who has been in retreat for more than three years, would suddenly come out tomorrow. Ye Chuyang has also been away from Jiuli Cave Heaven for three years. He has been out for training since the leader went into retreat. He only came back after hearing the news..." Yang Shi Ning said embarrassedly.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but worry a little. If the leader found out that Yang Shi Ning was his human servant, it would be a bit troublesome for him to attack him.

This feeling is a bit similar to... it secretly abducted someone's daughter, but was discovered by the daughter's father.

"Experience... He is just like you in the school, scaring people everywhere and creating weird legends?" Bai Zhi said suddenly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yang Shi Ning's jade face:

"He went out mainly to experience the world, solve secret supernatural events, and find strange people and monsters to join Jiuli Sect. If his purpose is more for Jiuli Sect, then the purpose of my choosing to study at Xingchuan University is for myself. Of course, I hid it from the leader..."

"To be precise, it is to... find back my lost memory."

"What memory?"

"Probably... it's a memory from when I was very young. This memory is very important to me, but I only remember that there seems to be a 'Nine Dead Silkworm' in it. I once asked the holy object for a solution, and learned that the key to the memory is in Xingchuan University in Yong'an City..."

The Nine Dead Silkworm again!

Without waiting for Bai Zhi to ask, Yang Shi Ning rushed to explain:

"The Nine-Death Silkworm is in the hands of the leader. It is said to have the characteristics of immortality. The specific ability is unknown, but it will cause great harm to the owner. Almost no one can own it for a long time. The previous owners of the Nine-Death Silkworm all died tragically, until the leader became the owner of the Nine-Death Silkworm and ended this bad luck."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel curious about the Jiuli leader, "Why can he control the Nine-Death Silkworm?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but the elders once inadvertently revealed that the reason why they were able to suppress the backlash of the Nine-Death Silkworm may be related to the leader's dragon."

Yang Shi Ning began to introduce Bai Zhi to the man who holds the supreme power of the Jiuli Sect.

The real name of the leader of the Jiuli Sect is unknown. He has an extraordinary demeanor and is introverted and deep.

He has been in charge of the sect for decades. He became the leader long before Yang Shi Ning joined the sect. It was also he who personally named and cultivated Yang Shi Ning and Ye Chuyang to become the saint and son. To some extent, the leader of Jiuli Sect is both a master and a superior to Yang Shi Ning, and he has the grace of knowing and meeting her.

And he was able to sit on the position of the leader and get the recognition of the Elders' Council, naturally because of his outstanding talent, and he cultivated a dragon as a contracted monster, subdued the Nine Dead Silkworm, and his strength was the best in the whole sect.

Nine Dead Silkworm...

Dragon...

Two trump cards, one is an immortal insect, and the other is a giant beast with a thousand pounds of force.

He is worthy of being a person who can compete with the leader of the Wu Gu tribe and stand at the top of the extraordinary world of the Federation...

After listening to Yang Shi Ning's story, Bai Zhi's impression of the leader stayed on the dragon he raised.

When Yang Shi Ning was just injected with the mutant venom by Bai Zhi, the former said that unless the leader came out of retreat, no one in Jiuli Sect could threaten Bai Zhi, so Bai Zhi even had the idea of ​​fighting with the leader of Jiuli Sect and the dragon.

Of course, it was just imagination. For Bai Zhi, whose soul consciousness was secretly injured, the most important thing was to rest.

At the same time, it was more curious about the Nine-Death Silkworm and the Immortal Reincarnation Gu bred by the Nine-Death Silkworm.

"By the way, I also encountered a white deer at the waterfall..." Bai Zhi suddenly said, and described the appearance of the Nine Palace Deer Spirit to Yang Shi Ning.

"What?"

Yang Shi Ning immediately took a breath and said in surprise: "Master Bai Zhi actually saw it?"

"What is its identity?" Bai Zhi's tone was a little anxious.

"It..."

Yang Shi Ning suddenly hesitated, "It is the 'holy object' in the church that I once mentioned..."

The holy object is alive! ?

As if guessing Bai Zhi's doubts, Yang Shi Ning continued:

"Since I became a saint, I can count the number of times I have seen holy objects on one hand. It is a statue of a fairy deer made of white jade. I heard from the leader that the fairy deer occasionally 'comes alive' and wanders around in Jiuli Cave Heaven, showing its holiness and enlightening those who are destined to see it."

"Holy objects contain the way of 'creation', transforming the ordinary into the magical, including assisting in cultivation, helping monsters to open their spiritual wisdom, and even advancing to transformation. In addition, they can also predict the traces of fate and clues of opportunities..."

It turns out that the holy objects of Jiuli Sect really help transformation. Yang Shi Ning didn't lie to me before... Bai Zhi suddenly realized.

......

One day later.

Jiuli Cave Heaven, on a green mountain adjacent to Qiushan, sits a hall, built like a fairy palace, magnificent and majestic.

The three words "Jiuli Hall" are written on the door lintel of the hall. It is made of blue glazed tiles with vigorous strokes. I don't know which master wrote it. Tassels made of gold, silver, pearls and jade were also hung at the four corners of the hall. When the breeze passed, the gold and jade were struck, as if a piece of heavenly music floated from the palace of pearls in the sky.

Under the stage of the hall, ten figures faced the main seat on the high platform with different expressions, some nervous, some uneasy, some expectant, and some confused. Among these people, Yang Shi Ning and Ye Chuyang were included.

"Ning'er, I haven't seen you for so long. Have you missed me?"

As soon as he saw Yang Shi Ning, Ye Chuyang came over with a smile.

"Your Highness, please don't call me like that. Do I know you well?"

Yang Shi Ning looked straight ahead without any deviation.

"Alas, after only three years of separation, the Saint Lady was so ruthless that she completely forgot about my good brother." Ye Chuyang sighed and acted melancholy.

"Bah! Tell me, how many girls have you harmed in these three years?" Yang Shi Ning glanced at him.

"Ah, Ning'er, in the past three years, I only have you in my heart. I've been thinking about reuniting with you and getting married all the time..." Ye Chuyang said with a sad face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"You are such a playboy, I thought you were drifting out and lost contact, and you were reluctant to come back." Yang Shi Ning said sarcastically.

"Uh..."

Ye Chuyang's mouth twitched, "Can you please not pronounce the second tone of the word 'bia'? Besides, I have been busy eliminating demons and protecting the poor scholars in the past three years. How can I have time to flirt with women. .."

Yang Shi Ning still mocked herself: "You have a bad heart, so you are naturally guilty. Besides, the world is stable now. It is enough for the Secret Guard to clean up the weird evil spirits. Why do we need Jiuli Sect to interfere?"

Ye Chuyang touched the corner of his mouth, "...You are still so disrespectful to me. I finally came back. It's rare for us to get together. Why don't we have a drink together tonight?"

"I don't drink with losers." Yang Shi Ning raised his chin.

Hearing this, Ye Chuyang's eyes flashed with excitement, as if some mechanism was triggered, and he said in a muffled voice: "Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, the three-year period has come, don't bully the poor young man!"

Yang Shi Ning said "Oh" indifferently.

After two seconds of silence, Ye Chuyang couldn't hold it anymore and said with a sad face:

"Is this how you treat your long-lost brother? When I came back, I went to Xingchuan University to find you, but it was completely sealed by the barrier. When I sneaked in, I was almost discovered by the Secret Bureau."

After a while of hesitation, Yang Shi Ning sighed, "There was a riot in Yong'an City, and I had to return to the church early to avoid danger..."

Ye Chuyang's expression became serious, and he said with interest: "It seems that you really know something, tell me quickly..."

At this time, the elders exclaimed beside him: "The leader is coming out."

Yang Shi Ning and Ye Chuyang stopped talking and looked up at the high platform.

Behind a string of deep bead curtains, a tall man walked in sideways and sat on the leader's high seat.

After sitting down, the beaded curtain fell to the man's knees, as if it had some kind of magic, making the man's upper body very blurry. One could only roughly see the broad shoulders that seemed to support the entire world, and feel the deep and heavy breath emanating from it.

"Welcome the leader to come out of retreat!"

Everyone bowed and said in unison.

Yang Shi Ning and Ye Chuyang looked at each other inadvertently, and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes:

The leader's breath has changed a lot, and even a little strange.

"Everyone, I haven't seen you for three years."

A deep and magnetic male voice came from the other side of the curtain.

"I am very happy, not only because I came out of retreat smoothly, but also because I see that the number of people in the hall has not decreased, and their cultivation has improved. It can be seen that during my retreat, the development of Jiuli Sect has been stable and progressing."

Although the words were praise, the voice of Jiuli Sect Leader was neither happy nor sad, neither hurried nor slow.

"Especially Qiangwei, you have worked hard to manage the entire sect for me."

After that, a petite and pretty girl stood up and bowed to the leader, saying: "This is all Qiangwei's responsibility, and it is also thanks to the trust and cooperation of the leader and the elders and the followers."

During the retreat, the leader of Jiuli had something to notify the public, including the news of this retreat, which was conveyed by Qiangwei.

"Chuyang, Shi Ning, how is your practice progress?" Everyone vaguely noticed that the leader of Jiuli's eyes fell on the saint son and the saint daughter.

"Report to the leader."

Ye Chuyang stepped forward, his face full of reverence: "I now not only have three 'half-demons' under my command, but also successfully made a previous 'half-demons' advance to 'real demons'."

Hearing this, Yang Shi Ning lowered her head slightly because she felt embarrassed...

She had just said that he was useless, well, now the three-year period is up, his strength really surpassed hers...

The Jiuli leader said "hmm" without commenting, and his eyes in the dark moved to Yang Shi Ning.

The latter stepped forward and said ashamedly: "Report to the leader, I am not as talented as the Holy Son, and Jiuwei is only at the 'half-demon' level..."

"Three years have passed, and you still only have Jiuwei as a contracted monster?" Jiuli leader's voice was hidden with a trace of fluctuation, revealing a little dissatisfaction.

Yang Shi Ning said with a stiff face:

"No... there is also... a spider in the 'real demon' realm..."

She couldn't say that she secretly enjoyed her college life at Xingchuan University and didn't do her work...

The leader of Jiuli said "Oh" again, and then said: "I remember that before you went into seclusion, you only had one contracted demon, Jiuwei. So, the spider you mentioned was in the 'real demon' realm when you subdued it?"

The implication is that it is impossible for a subordinate's 'half-demon' to advance to a 'real demon' in three years.

Yang Shi Ning remained calm and nodded solemnly, "That's right, I convinced it with reasonable conditions."

Ye Chuyang's face suddenly became a little strange...

It seems that the white weaving is Ning'er's contracted monster, but I must not let Ning'er know that I have initiated some kind of illegal transaction with her contracted monster...

The leader of Jiuli Sect nodded slightly, and did not ask Yang Shi Ning any more questions.

He turned to the people in the hall and said in a deep voice:

"Maybe you are suspicious of my sudden exit this time and summoning the disciples outside to return to the sect."

"Here, I will tell you the reason..."

"Not long ago, the sacred deer spirit told me that Jiuli Cave Heaven and Jiuli Sect will have a disaster, a disaster comparable to the "great pollution" a hundred years ago."

Instantly, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"..."

After a few breaths, huge shock and astonishment exploded in everyone's hearts. I don't know who was the first to gasp, and then set off a frenzy of discussion.

"Master, please don't scare us. Our sect is growing stronger day by day, and Jiuli Cave Heaven is also thriving. How can there be any sign of a catastrophe coming?" A fat middle-aged man with a receding hairline said puzzledly.

"As the saying goes, prosperity must decline, and extreme prosperity will lead to failure. Our sect seems to be worry-free, but this is actually the time when we are prone to relax..." The one who said this was the pretty girl, Qiangwei, who was praised by the Jiuli Sect Master just now.

"Master, even if there is a catastrophe, can it be compared to the one a hundred years ago?" Ye Chuyang looked solemnly at the main seat on the high platform.

The people below the stage were in doubt, because the disaster that occurred in Jiuli Cave Heaven a hundred years ago was the reason why the previous Jiuli Sect Master died!

For a long time after that, Jiuli Sect was in a state of being leaderless and precarious, until the current Sect Master suppressed dissent with tough means and the strength that looked down on the whole sect, which made Jiuli Sect return to a normal development track.

Yang Shi Ning's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help asking:

"Master, did Lu Ling tell me the source of the disaster?"

The figure behind the bead curtain raised a hand and lowered it.

The hall was instantly quiet again.

A deep voice without a single ups and downs came from the master's high seat:

"The inside and outside have the same source."
