Chapter 27: The Three Great Artifacts, Shen Cub.(1/2)
Shen Gurong looked back at him expressionlessly.
Wen Liubing didn't think at all that "Master couldn't avoid the splash of blood" and looked back in confusion.
Shen Gurong gently wiped away a drop of blood on his cheek and said calmly: "Sanshui, where is your second junior brother now?"
Wen Liubing thought for a while: "Second Junior Brother should still be in Fenglu City. Does Master have anything important to do with him?"
Shen Gurong said coldly: "Tell him next time you meet him. From now on, he will be the senior brother."
Wen Liubing: "..."
Wen Liubing was too straightforward, and he struggled to understand what his master meant by expelling him. He was horrified and said in a deep voice, "What did Sanshui do wrong?"
Shen Gurong: "..."
What the hell did you do wrong?!
Shen Gurong was so angry that his chest hurt. When he saw Wen Liubing was still there, "Master, I hope you can tell me, Master," she almost spat a mouthful of blood on his face.
Shen Fengxue has not expelled Wen Liubing from the school so far, he is really good-tempered.
Shen Gurong took a deep breath and silently recited the first three lines of the Qing Jing Sutra - because he only remembered the first three lines, he recited it many times before calming down.
Wen Liubing was puzzled and could only persuade him in a low voice: "Master, the second junior brother has not yet reached Nascent Soul and cannot bear the responsibility of senior brother. Master, you should think about it again."
Shen Gurong glanced at him and did not discuss this anymore. Instead, while the water ghost's barrier had not dissipated and he could still speak in person, he asked: "What is the hundred-year agreement that the water ghost said?"
Wen Liubing's upright character and his lack of hesitation in his master's words were very suitable for him to inquire about information that was not in Shen Fengxue's memory.
Wen Liubing glanced at him strangely, and as expected, without thinking deeply, answered truthfully: "Master surrendered a demon cultivator thirty years ago and used Lin Xiachun to seal him in the Liren Peak Bone Tomb..."
That demonic cultivator was carrying a divine weapon and had reached the top of his cultivation. He had been doing evil for many years due to his violent temperament.
When Shen Fengxue subdued him, a strange phenomenon came from the sky.
When Shen Fengxue was young, his spiritual talent was not strong, so Lord Nanshang collected countless heavenly and earthly treasures and piled them up forcibly. As a result, he was ridiculed by people in the three worlds as an embroidered pillow that did not live up to his name. Some even maliciously called him Lord Nanshang's whore. pet.
And when Shen Fengxue used a shocking sword with overwhelming murderous intent in full view of everyone and completely defeated the demon cultivator, those who had scolded him behind his back all praised Shen Fengxue for his heroism and righteousness.
It was at that time that the name of Shen Fengxue's half-step sainthood spread throughout the Kyushu, and he completely took off the hat of embroidered pillows that could only hide under Nan Shangjun's wings.
When the demon cultivator was sealed in the crypt by Shen Fengxue, everyone in the three realms discovered that he no longer had the rumored artifact on his body.
Lin Xiachun was inserted into the chest of the demon cultivator. His black robe was covered with blood, and his limbs were forcibly trapped in a corner by countless chains, unable to move an inch.
When asked about the location of the artifact, the demon cultivator smiled and said faintly: "Isn't the artifact right there?"
Where he looked, Shen Fengxue was standing tall and tall in white clothes.
All three worlds were shocked.
Shen Gurong suddenly interrupted Wen Liubing: "What artifact is the magic cultivator talking about?"
In Shen Fengxue's memory, there are at most three major artifacts in the Three Realms and Kyushu, the Demonic Cultivator's Gou'er Pearl, the Fenglu City Nine-layer Jade, and the Huaying Sword kept by the mortal royal family. Where did this Demonic Cultivator get the other artifacts?
Wen Liubing shook his head: "No one knows about this. They only know that it is a divine weapon that defies the heavens. He insisted that the master took away the divine weapon from him, and others believed it."
Shen Gurong: "What then?"
"Each of them forced Master to hand over the artifact in the name of serving the common people in the world, but no one was willing to listen to Master's excuse." Wen Liubing frowned, as if he was extremely disgusted with those who forced Shen Fengxue back then, "In the end, it was Master who Zu came forward to ensure that Master did not obtain the artifact, and made a hundred-year agreement with the Demon Lord. If you leave the mountain halfway, you will be carrying the artifact by default."
Shen Gurong: "..."
What kind of gangster logic is this?
The demon cultivator Wen Liubing mentioned... is probably the culprit who bewitched Yu Xinghe into becoming a demon in the book.
Originally, Shen Gurong thought that in this book, as long as he carefully raised the two little boys in Liren Peak to be good children with upright roots and avoid making mistakes in the banishment of Mu, Yu Xinghe would become a demon. Why did he suddenly get pregnant? Negative artifact?
What did Shen Fengxue want from him when he brought him here?
Shen Gurong was a little confused, and had a hunch in his heart that he might not leave this world so easily.
After Wen Liubing finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Master, why are you going down the mountain now?"
Shen Gurong: "..."
Shen Gurong said softly: "Let all your junior brothers come back. Anyone who can beat you up can replace you and become senior brother."
Wen Liubing was horrified: "Master, Master!"
Shen Gurong was forced out of the water ghost barrier by his "master".
The first thing Shen Gurong did after waking up was to dive into the basin of the inn and take a bath.
When Wen Liubing's Lanting Sword pierced the water ghost's chest, Shen Gurong was at the side. Not only did he look into the water ghost's dead eyes, but he was also splashed with the blood of the ghost he feared most.
The touch of the water ghost's blood on his body was like a sinister wind passing through his body, which made Shen Gurong's hair stand on end and made him want to pluck out all his feathers.
Mu Ban was the first to wake up and went to call Li Suo over. As soon as they came in, they saw Shen Gurong fluttering in the basin and chirping and cursing.
Mu Ban hurriedly got up and walked over. Seeing that his master still had the energy to curse, he knew that the water ghost had been dealt with. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Master, do you want to take a bath?"
When Shen Gurong saw him, he suddenly felt aggrieved. He thought to himself: "Disciple, I wrongly blamed you. It turns out that you are not the most troublesome to Master, your two stupid senior brothers are."
Mu Ban: "..."
Mu Ban didn't know what happened to Shen Gurong, but seeing that he wanted to rub his own feathers off in the water, he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and help him wash.
At first, Shen Gurong was a little unnatural, but Mu Ban's movements were too gentle. After a while, Shen Gurong completely rebelled. He leaned on Mu Ban's palm with his belly raised and let his apprentice wash his feathers comfortably. The claws would kick twice from time to time.
Mu Ban endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He raised his hand and gently squeezed Shen Gurong's little paw.
Shen Gurong was feeling comfortable when he was suddenly pinched. She opened her eyes and looked at him blankly, her eyes unguarded: "Chirp?"
Mu Ban pinched it twice more and then said without changing his expression: "Master's claws are dirty."
Shen Gurong looked down and found that he was too fat and couldn't see his paws even if he lowered his head. So he believed his apprentice's words and even raised his paws and waved them for Mu Ban to wipe them for him.
Mu Ban: "..."
This is...too good.
Wen Liubing woke up and exchanged a few words with Li Suo, then walked over and asked, "Master, what you just said was just a joke, right?"
When Shen Gurong heard this, the anger he had finally suppressed burst out again. He was wet all over and struggled to peck Wen Liubing, but Mu Ban hurriedly held him down.
Shen Gurong: "Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!!!"
Mu Ban conveyed it to him.
Only then did Wen Liubing realize why there was so much blood on his master's body. He was a little confused: "Master has a protective barrier on his body. Logically speaking, this kind of attack will be isolated from the barrier."
Shen Gurong was stunned. It turned out that the protective barrier that suddenly appeared when fighting Xue Manzhuang was actually placed on Shen Fengxue by Lord Nanshang.
But the question arises again. Shen Fengxue is the number one person in the Three Realms. Logically speaking, no one can hurt him easily. Why would a master bother to put such a cumbersome barrier on him?
Mu Ban listened on the side and probably knew why Shen Gurong was in such a hurry to take a bath. He spoke for his master and said calmly: "Is the ghost blood an attack?"
Wen Liubing glanced at him and probably knew that Shen Gurong doted on this child very much, and he was surprised that he did not argue with Mu in front of his master.
He thought about it and realized that he was wrong.
"Disciple knows his mistake." He will not change it next time.
Shen Gurong glared at him.
Mu Ban gently combed his feathers and stroked the down on his chest to calm him down.
Half a day later, Shen Gurong lay down on the soft cushion feeling refreshed and let Mu Ban wipe the water droplets from his body with a cloth.
It's dawn outside.
After Mu Ban wiped Shen Gurong's body, he suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a bamboo slip from the bed.
Shen Gurong glanced lazily: "Chirp?"
Mu Ban said: "This is the pole that Master got. I don't know why it turned into a bamboo slip when it came out."
Shen Gurong took a look and saw that the bamboo slip was about the same length as the palm of his hand and was very thin. There was also a line of small characters on it, which looked like it had been carved casually and could not be read at all.
Wen Liubing took it and took a look, his brows suddenly furrowed: "This is the word of a demon cultivator."
Shen Gurong: "What did you write?"
Wen Liubing: "The elder only taught you a few words about the magic cultivator, so I don't know much about them, but I remember these last three words appeared in the place where the demon cultivator was sealed at Liren Peak."
He pointed to the three words at the bottom of the bamboo slip.
"Oceiary."
Shen Gurong was stunned.
Wen Liubing rubbed the words "Ocean Tomb" on the bamboo slip and pondered for a moment: "Perhaps... the water ghost escaped from the cave not to find the master, but to be guided by the Ossuary Tomb..."
Shen Gurong frowned: "A ghost cultivator, guided by a demon cultivator?"
Wen Liubing was not sure. He held the bamboo slips and said, "As soon as daybreak, let Lisuo take Master back to Liren Peak, and leave the rest to Sanshui to investigate."
Shen Gurong felt that although his great apprentice had a face full of trustworthiness, he always had problems when the critical moment came. He looked at Wen Liubing suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust.
Wen Liubing finally found a way to regain his master's favor, so he naturally refused to give up.
He raised his hand to create a bunch of barriers in the inn room. After thinking that Shen Gurong had Nanshangjun's protective barrier on his body, even if people from all three realms arrived, they would not touch him at all, and then he felt completely relieved. He took the bamboo slips and rushed out.
