Zhu Xie was frightened, but he didn't dare not answer: "It's because we failed in doing things, so we let the Holy Lord punish us."

Shen Gurong's eyes were as cold as frost on his eyelashes, but his aura and pressure were still unabated.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say a word.

Fortunately, Shen Gurong didn't have the same experience as these juniors. After a moment, he said coldly: "If we don't do this next time, burn the talisman as soon as possible. Make sure there is no mistake."

Zhuxie hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Seeing that Shen Gurong was tired and closed his eyes, Zhu Xie did not dare to stay any longer. After bidding farewell respectfully, they all dispersed and went to put up spells that could suppress the plague ghosts everywhere.

After the outsiders left, Shen Gurong breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

He wanted to scare me to death!

Shen Fengxue's memory was in chaos. Shen Gurong searched for a long time in the broken memory, and finally found the right seal of distraction at the critical moment and appeared in time.

If it had been even half a moment later, the situation would have been embarrassing.

Moreover, pretending to be cool is much more difficult than pretending to be innocent when his mother catches him painting pictures of beautiful ladies. Fortunately, Shen Fengxue's name can suppress them.

At this moment, the corner of his clothes was gently pulled.

Shen Gurong lowered his eyes slightly and saw Yu Xinghe carefully tugging at the hem of his clothes. Looking up at him, it seemed like stars were really falling in his eyes.

"Master."

Shen Gurong was silent, thinking that although the villain's behavior in the book was extremely abominable, but the current Tuanzi villain was very well-behaved, and no one could imagine that he would disrupt the Three Realms in the future, causing a bloody storm. .

Yu Xinghe respected the master who came like a savior. His little face was full of joy, but because of the fear in his heart, he did not dare to go too far. He only dared to hold the corner of his clothes with his little hands a little.

That cautious look was a bit like Shen Gurong's sister. Shen Gurong couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his head.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Mu Ban, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly grabbed Yu Xinghe's hand and pulled him back to avoid Shen Gurong's "devil's claws".

Yu Xinghe was a little confused.

As if she were banishing a young adult, he pulled Yu Xinghe to kneel down and kowtowed, his voice a little cold but gentle: "Thank you, Master, for saving me."

The word "alienation" is written all over the little protagonist.

Shen Gurong retracted his hand, wondering what the master had done to be struck by lightning to make such a young child so afraid of him.

The disciples around him must also be extremely afraid of him. Even after the outsider left, he still knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

Shen Gurong avoided being spotted by others, maintained a superior posture, and disappeared in mid-air without saying a word.

The white mist dissipated, leaving only a lotus lying quietly on the sand.

As soon as Shen Gurong left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Suo coughed a few times, walked over with a fan, touched Yu Xinghe's head, and said softly: "Little brat, I just asked you to find the headmaster or anyone on our mountain who can fight. How do you do it?" Has the Holy Lord been invited?"

Yu Xinghe said: "But the most capable person on our mountain is Master, and Fan Jiangju is the closest."

Li Suo: "..."

This statement makes sense, but it should still be fought.

Li Suo tapped Yu Xinghe's head with a fan and warned: "Don't be so presumptuous next time. The Holy Lord is busy and shouldn't go down the mountain in person for such a trivial matter."

Yu Xinghe held his head and felt a little aggrieved, but he still said yes.

Lisuo: "Didn't you find the headmaster?"

"I heard that the headmaster personally went to Xianyun City to seek medicine, but he didn't return for three days."

Li Suo nodded vaguely, caressed Yu Xinghe's head, and walked away leisurely.

Yu Xinghe was hit so hard that his head hurt. He pursed his lips and lowered his head in grievance, asking Mu Ban to rub it for him.

Mu Ban reluctantly touched his head and saw that there seemed to be a red mark on his forehead, and frowned: "What's going on?"

Yu Xinghe touched it, hissed, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's the white chicken next to Master..."

"That's the white crane." Mu Ban paused and frowned, "Did it peck you?"

Yu Xinghe felt aggrieved by the peck and nodded.

Mu dismissed him with a slap in the face, and his milky voice seemed to be frozen, inexplicably like a young adult: "Don't go to him next time."

Yu Xinghe looked at him blankly: "Who are you looking for? Master?"

"Um."

Yu Xinghe: "But he is our master."

Mu Ban lowered his head and looked at the lotus in Yu Xinghe's arms. He didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly raised his hand to snatch the lotus and threw it into the mud.

Yu Xinghe was startled and hurriedly knelt down to pick up the lotus.

Mu Ban watched with cold eyes.

In his opinion, Shen Gurong was there from the beginning, but waited until the situation was uncontrollable before taking action, which was extremely sanctimonious.

The flower in the mud is a hundred times better than him.

Yu Xinghe picked up the flowers and patted them. Seeing that Mu Ban seemed a little angry, he could only mutter in a low voice: "Mu Ban, no matter what, your escape this time was all because Master arrived in time..."

Mu Ban glanced at him and said, "What do you call me?"

Yu Xinghe reluctantly said: "Senior, senior brother."

Yu Xinghe is a few months older than Mu Ban, but because he started school late, he can only call him Senior Brother Mu Ban. Every time he thinks about this little Xinghe, he gets very angry.

Mu Ban raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. Yu Xinghe fell forward due to the slap, chirped twice, and stopped talking.

The cinnabar hadn't been purchased yet, so Lisuo didn't dare to take Mu Yuxinghe to play in the city anymore, so he asked a junior brother to lead the two dumplings back to the mountain first.

In the town not far away, bright yellow flames slowly burned in all corners, only to dissipate in the air in an instant.

Li Suo closed the fan and saw the fleeting light of fire filling the sky. He said softly: "The charm to ward off the plague ghost has been burned out, and the plague ghost is no longer in the city - let's go buy cinnabar first."

Everyone said yes.

Shortly after Lisuo took the people away, a black mist mixed with red lines sprang up from the ground, slowly circled in place several times, and then slowly climbed towards the steps of Liren Peak.

It disappeared in an instant without being noticed.

***

On Liren Peak.

There was a sudden spin, Shen Gurong opened his eyelashes, and he was back under the bodhi tree.

The white crane was pecking its feathers in the lotus lake. There was a sound of footsteps. Shen Gurong looked up and saw a man in a black robe walking quickly towards him not far away.

Shen Gurong blinked lightly, quickly searched in his memory, and finally found this person's memory.

"Xi Guxing, the headmaster of Liren Peak, is a fellow disciple of Shen Fengxue. Because of the matter of succeeding as the headmaster, he and Shen Fengxue had a fight with everyone in the family."

Shen Gurong only had time to understand this, Xi Guxing had already arrived.

Since both of them want to compete for the position of headmaster of Liren Peak, the relationship must be very bad and they need to be cautious.

As Shen Gurong thought like this, Xi Guxing had already walked closer in a few breaths.

Xi Guxing looked cold and unceremoniously gathered his robe and sat down.

Shen Gurong could have stayed away from him, but found that where Xi Guxing was sitting, a strand of his hair was held down.

Xi Guxing seemed to be blind, not paying attention to the strand of hair, and said coldly: "Don't you know how to write the word "death"? How dare you go down the mountain while being seriously injured?"

Shen Gurong was slightly stunned, seriously injured?

Is the original owner still injured?

Then he couldn't get up because of the soreness all over his body. It was not because his legs were numb after meditating for too long, but because of the injuries on his body?

Shen Gurong didn't want to show his doubts. He just pursed his lips and tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't want to talk to Xi Guxing.

Xi Guxing frowned: "You are only half a step away from becoming a saint. As long as you stay in seclusion for a few years, you will surely ascend to become a saint and escape from reincarnation. You are only one step away from reincarnation, so why don't you listen to my advice?"

Shen Gurong thought to himself, just wait a moment, I have to go through my memory again before I can chat with you normally.

Seeing that Xi Guxing had said so much, Shen Gurong remained silent, holding back his anger and throwing a red sandalwood box in his hand onto his robe that was trailing the floor.

"This is the elixir sent by someone from Xianyun City. If you don't want your centuries-old cultivation to be ruined, take it as soon as possible."

Shen Gurong had slender fingers and gently picked up the red sandalwood box and opened it. With a flick of his finger, the box opened in response, revealing a mist-like elixir inside.

At first glance, it is not ordinary.

Shen Gurong instinctively said: "It must be very expensive."

After he said this, he regretted it. He was used to talking about things, but after changing his identity, he still couldn't change it for a while.

Fortunately, Xi Guxing just glanced at him and sneered: "Liren Peak owes Xianyun City so much foreign debt, it's not even a little bit short."

Shen Gurong: "..."

How does such a large mountain gate still owe foreign debt?

Shen Gurong was originally worried that this enemy of the original owner would poison him, but the instinct of his body vaguely told him that although Xi Guxing was not on good terms with him, he would not resort to such despicable means as poisoning.

His meridians all over his body were sore and slightly achy, and he was used to fine clothes and food, so he never wronged himself, so he just pinched the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

The elixir turns into a cool white mist at the entrance, and penetrates into the limbs and bones along the throat.

In just an instant, the dull pain in my meridians, which seemed ready to burst at any moment, was soothed by a spring breeze, and the pain disappeared.

Seeing that his face looked much better, Xi Guxing said: "Your backlash injury will not be completely healed in a while. During this period, you should take care of your injuries peacefully and don't use your spiritual power rashly."
