Chapter 129 A Trip to Penglai (22)
Chapter 129 A Trip to Penglai (22)
The demons have declared war on the human race.
An unprecedented war.
Almost all the disciples from various sects and aristocratic families were sent.
Luo Zai Shui is an exception; this is the third month she has been in a coma.
This was a rare day when she was lucid.
A strange feeling welled up inside her; she could clearly perceive what she was thinking and doing, as if she were looking at herself.
When Su Wusi entered, this was the scene she saw: her senior sister, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly had a rosy complexion and was quietly watching the falling leaves outside the window.
She was very happy. Her senior sister should be fully recovered by now. She called out to her senior sister joyfully.
Luo Zai Shui only became aware of Su Wu Si's presence when Su Wu Si called her.
Her eyes darkened slightly, then brightened again. She beckoned Su Wusi over.
Su Wusi set aside the freshly brewed medicine and gently took her hand: "Senior sister, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Senior sister, why are your hands still so cold?"
Luo Zai Shui gently shook her head, a smile as always on her face: "It's alright now. I have an ice spirit root, you know I'm always cold-handed."
She subtly withdrew her hand: "By the way, where are Senior Brother and the others?"
Su Wusi obediently replied, "Master and Senior Brother have gone to suppress the demons, they should be back soon."
"Demons?" Luo Zai Shui was somewhat surprised. The demons and humans had maintained a superficial peace for so long, and now they had broken off all pretense?
"Yes, the Wen family said that the demons' cruelty to their disciples shows they don't respect the human race and that they must be taught a lesson. Some aristocratic families followed suit, and the demons also seem to be planning a war. It started as a small skirmish, but somehow it got more and more intense. Master and my eldest brother went to help for the sake of the people's peace."
Luo Zai Shui vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She rubbed her temples and asked, "Who else is on Xianyun Peak?"
"All the elders have gone. Apart from me, my third senior brother also stayed behind to take care of my senior sister."
Su Wusi handed the cooled medicine to Luo Zaishui: "Senior Sister, drink the medicine first, and I'll go find Third Senior Brother to take another look at you."
After saying that, she ran out, unable to resist sharing the news of her senior sister waking up with others.
Luo Zai Shui shook her head helplessly. She put the medicine bowl aside and got out of bed.
That bowl of medicine was full of spiritual energy; it must have contained many precious herbs.
pity……
Luo Zai Shui tried to condense a ball of spiritual energy in her palm, but in no time, all of her spiritual energy dissipated into the air.
There's something wrong with her dantian (lower abdomen).
And she, too, is probably dying soon.
She can now clearly sense the loss of her life force, as if something is being slowly drawn out of her body.
Although I already knew it, I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
She wanted to do something before she left.
Oh right, Tinghan still hasn't learned many talismans, so I need to organize these things for him.
Luo reached the study and took down the books from the bookshelf one by one.
Wusi probably hasn't read this book of mental cultivation techniques yet; I'll have to give it to her later.
This is a collection of talismans that she compiled, which Tinghan will need in the future.
Xue Xin should be interested in this book of alchemical writings in the future.
This sword manual...
Luo Zai Shui paused for a moment, then put the book in her arms aside and pulled out the sword manual.
This is a very basic sword manual, which is sold by vendors at the foot of Xianyun Mountain, but it was bought for her by Senior Sister Ji.
Turning to the first page, you see three little figures. The slightly taller one is Senior Sister Ji, and the two smaller ones are her and Shi Ming.
Each page of this sword manual is covered with different things. Some are little birds she scribbled when she was bored, some are annotations made by Ji Yun where she thought they were unreasonable, and some are strange things that Shi Ming was forced to draw on the book to keep up with her boring games.
As they turned the pages, they relived their carefree childhood.
The last page of the sword manual was Ji Yun's signature: "When you read the last page, congratulations to my dear junior brothers and sisters for having finished learning the first sword manual. It is an honor to have been able to give you some guidance. You are undoubtedly geniuses, and your senior sister is proud of you. I wonder how long it will take for you to discover what I wrote on this page. If you discover it in just a few days, please tear this page up and burn it, it's too embarrassing. If it takes a long time, I suppose you will be quite happy to see this page. I also wonder what your cultivation level is now, and whether you can compete with me. But none of that matters, because these words are just something I wrote to pass the time. I hope you will discover them soon."
Luo Zai Shui couldn't help but smile. After their senior sister finished teaching them, they had never opened the book again. They didn't expect to find such a little surprise. They would definitely show it to their senior brother later.
"Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother can't possibly be from the Demon Clan!"
Although Su Wusi lowered his voice outside the door, Luo Zai Shui still clearly caught the key words: Ting Han, Demon Clan...
"Shh, don't let Senior Sister know about this. She needs to rest now." Xue Xin's voice was very soft, but his tone was also filled with urgency. "Of course I know he's not a member of the Demon Clan, but so many people have seen the demonic aura on him. Master and the others wrote that Ting Han might return to Xianyun Peak. We need to be careful and make sure to hide him well. Don't let this matter get out of the way, understand?"
"understood."
"What do you understand?"
Luo Zai Shui quickly pushed open the door and appeared in front of the two.
"Senior Sister..."
Su Wusi is not good at lying. For example, right now, the involuntary trembling of her left ring finger is proof that she is about to lie.
Luo Zai Shui took a deep breath: "What happened to Ting Han? What's going on at the front?"
Xue Xin wasn't sure how much Luo Zai Shui had heard, so he could only reassure her, "Senior Sister, don't worry, Ting Han is alright..."
"How could I not be worried when he's in trouble? What on earth happened?!"
Luo Zai Shui could not hide the urgency in her voice. The other disciples did not know Ji Ting Han's identity, but she knew that the demon bloodline in Ting Han's body had been almost completely washed away and would not be easily discovered.
Xue Xin knew that continuing to hide it from his senior sister would only make things worse, so he explained, "Senior sister, don't panic. Here's what happened: When Tinghan went to suppress the demons, several members of the Wen family who were with him suddenly exploded and died. Someone happened to see demonic energy swirling around Tinghan, so they assumed he was a demon. The Wen family wanted to execute him, but luckily Tinghan escaped in time, so it wasn't a big deal. Once the investigation is complete..."
Luo Zai Shui was struggling to stay upright and braced herself against the edge of the table. Su Wu Si quickly stepped forward to support her: "How is he now?"
Xue Xin answered truthfully, "We don't know his whereabouts yet, but don't worry, Senior Sister. Once he gets away, he should return to Xianyun Peak immediately. When he comes back, we'll hide him and investigate the matter thoroughly, and then everything will be fine."
Luo Zai Shui felt extremely cold all over. An ominous premonition rose in her heart: Ting Han probably wouldn't be coming back.
Xue Xin said a lot more after that, but Luo Zai Shui was in a daze and didn't hear clearly. She was helped down onto the bed by Su Wu Si.
"Alright, I understand. I appreciate your help with the recent matters within the sect."
Take a nap. When you wake up, you'll find that it was all just a dream.
She comforted herself with these words and slowly drifted off to sleep.
