Chapter 5 Like Falling into the Sea of ??Smoke(1/2)
Fortunately, Shen Gurong was thick-skinned enough. He glanced at them coldly as if nothing happened and said, "What's the matter?"
Perhaps Shen Gurong's gesture was too bluffing, and Yu Xinghe was shocked again, and began to suspect that he was blind.
He said "Ah" and hurriedly knelt down with Mu Ban: "Master, Xinghe has come to apologize."
Shen Gurong was not used to these two children kneeling down all the time, and frowned slightly: "What are you apologizing for?"
However, Yu Xinghe misinterpreted Shen Gurong's meaning and hurriedly kowtowed: "I offended Master yesterday and made Master embarrassed..."
Mu Ban had no expression on his face. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying in a low voice: "It's my fault. If Master wants to punish me, just punish me."
Shen Gurong: "..."
A little thing can scare two children like this. Shen Fengxue is really guilty.
Shen Gurong gathered up his robe and pretended to be cold and said: "Everyone, get up."
Yu Xinghe was startled for a moment before he staggered to his feet and pulled Mu Ban up.
Mu Ban raised his head, blood was already oozing out from his forehead. You can imagine how hard he kowtowed just now.
Shen Gurong thought to himself that this child, who was so cruel to him at such a young age, would definitely be a cruel person when he grows up.
At this time, the morning bell of Liren Peak was rippling in the distance.
Shen Gurong glanced at the flock of birds flying not far away: "What time is it now?"
Yu Xinghe whispered: "It's three o'clock in the morning."
Shen Gurong said: "No."
Yu Xinghe scratched his head, wondering what his master meant.
Mu Ban spoke up: "It was the third day of the seventh lunar month in the thirteenth year of Yongping."
Shen Gurong stared at the horizon thoughtfully and said, "Leave if you have nothing to do."
He needs to calm down and figure out the main plot of the book.
Yu Xinghe bowed slowly, pulled Mu Ban and turned around to leave.
Shen Gurong stood among the evening mist flowers in the courtyard, slightly raising his head and looking at the sky.
He didn't remember the details of the plot of that miscellaneous book very clearly, so he had to dig through his memories to find it.
In the thirteenth year of Yongping, it was the fourth day of the seventh lunar month.
Mu was relegated... He was seized by the plague ghost and killed Li Suo, a disciple of Xi Guxing in Liren Peak.
Shen Gurong opened his eyes suddenly.
If he remembered correctly, the name of the disciple who was unusually coquettish with a fan yesterday seemed to be Li Suo, and when Xi Guxing talked to him about ghost cultivation yesterday, he seemed to have mentioned that Li Suo was in the golden elixir stage.
After seizing the body, he can easily kill the monks at the Golden Core Stage. That ghost cultivator must not be underestimated.
Shen Gurong suddenly said to the two young apprentices who had walked out of Fanjiangju, "Stop."
Yu Xinghe was walking quickly, but when he heard this, he was shocked all over. He looked at each other and broke into a cold sweat.
Mu Ban seemed to be used to it and turned around numbly.
Shen Gurong said: "Mu is relegated to stay."
Yu Xinghe's face was full of despair, but Mu Ban looked like he had expected it, and nodded calmly: "Yes."
Yu Xinghe stamped his feet and said anxiously: "Mu's banishment..."
But Mu Ban shook his head: "Go back."
Yu Xinghe pulled his sleeve pitifully.
Every time Shen Fengxue left Mu Ban alone, he would always be covered in scars when he returned to Piianfeng. Yu Xinghe was frightened by the blood all over his body.
Mu Ban shook his head at him, rather giving up on himself: "Let's go, it'll be fine."
Yu Xinghe had no choice but to walk back three times.
As soon as Yu Xinghe left, Mu Ban walked slowly towards Fan Jiangju.
Shen Gurong led him into the side room of Fan Jiangju and said, "You will stay here today."
Mu Ban said: "Yes."
Shen Gurong had a robe draped over his shoulders, and his figure was slender. When he lowered his eyes slightly, he seemed to be misty and charming.
But in Mu Ban's eyes, this person was just a skin, but in fact he was just a sanctimonious hypocrite.
Just as Shen Gurong was about to go back to the inner room to look for Xi Guxing, he heard Mu Ban say calmly: "Master, do I still need medicine?"
Shen Gurong was slightly startled and turned to look at him: "What kind of medicine?"
Mu Ban gave a short smile, as if he was laughing at him for knowingly asking: "The elixir that cleanses the tendons and cuts the marrow."
His face is childish, and when he smiles coldly, he actually looks like an adult who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, which seems extremely inconsistent.
Shen Gurong was stunned again. In Shen Fengxue's memory, when he took the elixir to cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow, his body was like being broken into pieces and reorganized, and the pain was comparable to Ling Chi.
Shen Fengxue didn't know how much hatred she had against this young disciple, so she gave Mu Ban a bunch of elixirs that could cleanse muscles and cut marrow, and asked him to take them from time to time.
But Mu Ban's spiritual veins were so weak that even if he washed his muscles and cut his marrow many times, he still had no spiritual power in his body.
Shen Gurong looked into the eyes of a shepherd who had been banished to a secluded pool, and felt that the child had "animal" written on his left eye and "animal" on his right eye, which were all a sign of ridicule and disgust for him.
Probably because Shen Gurong had been silent for too long, Mu turned his head and called him: "Master?"
Shen Gurong woke up from a dream and said with a complicated expression: "No, you can just rest here."
Mu Ban was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe that Shen Gurong would let him go so easily, but he was not a masochist, so he just nodded and said indifferently: "Yes."
Shen Gurong left in a hurry.
After he returned to the inner room, he thought over and over in his mind the plot of the pastor being banished and his body taken away from him for a long time, and then he gently tapped the chalcedony in his hand.
This chalcedony is a spiritual weapon token sent by the disciples of Liren Peak. It took Shen Gurong a while to understand the use of this chalcedony.
After a while, Xi Guxing's voice came from the chalcedony: "Are you going to die again?"
Shen Gurong raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this person's temperament was really awkward. He was obviously worried about Shen Fengxue, but he was not lenient at all. He had to respond to him every time before he gave up.
Shen Gurong said: "Headmaster, I have something important to do. Please come over to Fanjiangju."
As expected, Headmaster Xi got angry: "Shen Shiyi! Are you looking for death?!"
Shen Gurong felt relieved when he heard that he was so angry and said: "Come quickly."
Xi Guxing cursed him angrily, and Chalcedony fell silent.
Shen Gurong held up his chin and stared at the sunset flowers in the courtyard in trance.
In the book, after Mu Ban killed Li Suo, Shen Fengxue used all his spiritual power to suppress the plague ghost in Mu Ban's body. As a result, he was seriously injured and fell into coma for several years. Mu Ban was also imprisoned in the crypt by Xi Guxing for killing his fellow disciples.
Ten years later, Yu Xinghe formed an elixir and broke into the bone mound with a spiritual weapon he obtained from unknown sources, seemingly trying to rescue Mu from banishment.
Mu Ban didn't have any cultivation skills, but he didn't know how he survived for ten years in the tomb where demons and monsters were rampant.
After growing up, Yu Xinghe had the same smile on his face after seeing Mu Ban.
He smiled harmlessly, but he held the sword in his hand, his eyes were crooked, and he only said one sentence.
"Senior brother, give me that thing."
The book seems to be written from Shen Fengxue's perspective. Some other details are not clear at all. At first glance, it seems a bit foggy. This is why Shen Gurong has never understood what such a thing is and whether it is worth worrying about. Xinghe directly faced Mu Ban's sword.
Afterwards, the two of them didn't know how to negotiate. Yu Xinghe released the demon cultivator from the bone mound, volunteered to become a demon, severely injured Mu, and immediately betrayed Liren Peak.
Mu Ban was also a blessing in disguise because of Yu Xinghe's blow that almost destroyed his Dantian, he awakened his spiritual veins and formed an elixir in one leap.
Li Suo's death is tomorrow. If Mu Ban is now possessed by the plague ghost, then just let Xi Guxing come and suppress the plague ghost;
But if Mu's banishment has not yet been confiscated, then staying in Fanjiangju today can easily avoid the disaster.
Shen Gurong had made his plans and felt that he could easily solve this dilemma without using his brain. He could go home soon - he just hoped that Headmaster Xi could be more reliable.
Thinking of this, Shen Gurong felt more and more happy, leaning lazily on the soft couch, tapping on the small case with his fingers, and still humming an unknown ditty in his mouth.
In the side courtyard, Mu Ban lowered his eyes and stared at the lines on his palms, not knowing what he was thinking.
Where he didn't notice, the red birthmark on half of his face was slowly changing, crawling up between his eyebrows as if it were a living thing.
Mu Ban felt something strange on his face, so he raised his hand and touched it gently.
The vine-like birthmark that looked like a living thing stopped momentarily an inch away from the eyebrows and never moved again.
The next moment, Shen Gurong suddenly came out of the inner room, holding a slender bamboo pole like a sharp sword, and pointed it directly at Mu Ban's eyebrows with a cold aura.
Even though Mu's heart was calm after being relegated, he was still young after all. When Shen Gurong appeared with murderous intent, he was frightened and took half a step back, his pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at Shen Gurong.
Shen Gurong pointed at him coldly, his wide sleeves fluttering.
Mu Ban pretended to be calm: "Did the disciple offend Master in any way?"
Shen Gurong's eyebrows were full of coldness and awe-inspiring.
He maintained the aura of a master and thought: "Huh? Uh-huh? Why did I move suddenly?"
