Chapter 48: Second Enactment of Musashi's Murder Plan

The second martial arts performance finally arrived. Some disciples looked confident, while others were panic-stricken and had no idea what was ahead.

Han Yang brought the sixty-four outer disciples to the foot of Yinyu Peak. At the entrance to the mountain, the two elders Danyang and Danzhu had been waiting there for a long time. After all the disciples paid their respects, the two elders began to read out the instructions for the martial arts performance.

The topic of this martial arts performance is Jade Spirit Fruit. Once you enter this mountain formation, you will have one day and one night to come out. Each Jade Spirit Fruit is worth one point. If you pick one of a different color, you can get five more points. Whoever gets the most points will win.

Or if someone has good luck and can catch the 50-point Youyun Zisu and break the core of the formation, he can end the martial arts performance early.

But if other spiritual plants are picked, the corresponding points will be deducted.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked: firstly, they had never heard of deducting points, and secondly, there was no mention of Youyun Zisu in the scrolls posted in the Hufeng Hall before.

Just as the outer disciples were whispering to each other, the two immortals Danyang and Danzhu twisted their hands and opened the mountain formation.

"As long as you enter this formation, you may be teleported to any place in the formation. If you are lucky enough to land in an area where jade spirit fruits grow abundantly, you may even come out on top." Zhenren Danyang said and nodded to Hanyang, indicating the start of the martial arts performance.

Not even together!
The disciples prayed in their hearts and lined up to enter the mountain formation. Each of them hoped that they would be lucky enough to fall into the pile of jade spirit fruits as Danyang Zhenren said.

On the Wangxian Terrace, Shangqing Zhenren and five other Zhenren were observing the Dust-peeking Mirror together. Even Lingxiang had a place there.

But today she was a little different: since she obtained the Fire Spirit Pearl, she had worn much thinner clothes, but now she was wrapped in thick cotton clothes again, which really puzzled Master Zhao Ming.

Could it be that this girl lost his precious pearl?
Thinking of this, my heart ached and I asked quickly.

"Look at what Fifth Senior Brother said. Am I the kind of person who would lose treasures?" Lingxiang smiled and rolled up her sleeves. "It's just that I don't have it with me now. Besides, since you gave it to me to play with, why do you want to take it back now? You and I had an agreement that day. Senior Brother, are you going to break your promise?"

After hearing such thorough words, Master Zhao Ming really did not want to ask about the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Pearl.

A Taoist values ​​trust and loyalty, so he cannot easily take back his promise. However, he has not yet recovered from the pain of losing his treasure.

Zhenren Chengxin deeply understood his experience, but he could only shake his head and pat Zhenren Zhaoming on the shoulder to comfort him.

Who said she was my junior sister?

When Lingxiang saw Master Chengxin acting like this, she sneered and started singing.

"A poor girl like me, traveling the world without any skills, finally got some magic weapons, but people still covet them, or someone secretly took my hard work to support their own disciples..."

She pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and pretended to wipe her face while singing:

"How unfair God is to treat me like this, woo~"

The elders were wondering what she was up to, but they saw her wiping her tears and glancing at Master Fuyin from time to time.

Fu Yin was stared at with horror: Lingxiang hadn't done anything at the foot of the mountain, but she had learned most of the singing styles of operas, and then added a pretentious attitude and the method of making indirect accusations, which really made him helpless.

"Ahem!" Master Fuyin cleared his throat. "You are staring at me like this, but I don't know where I have offended you. Why don't I just tell you directly so that I can apologize to you?"

"This is what you said, Sixth Senior Brother! All the senior brothers can bear witness to this." Lingxiang said as he took out "Zhucao Bielu" from his sleeve.

When Master Fuyin saw this book, he thought it was bad: this book was the one he found when he went to Xianyunju to look for Lingxiang when she came down the mountain. He saw a picture book on the table, picked it up and took a look. He thought it was very well written, so he made some corrections and took it down the mountain to print a few copies. He just wanted to circulate it to the disciples of the sect to increase their knowledge, but he forgot to tell her about it...

"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Six would have thought of the title for me. I don't know whether I should be grateful or not." Lingxiang said, pinching her orchid fingers to weigh the book in her hand. "Ahem!" Master Fuyin coughed again, "This... Senior Brother printed your book without your consent. It's really wrong for Senior Brother. It's better to use my secret room..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a slight cough from Shangqing Zhenren.

Master Fuyin was startled and quickly changed his words, "Why don't you take out a magical treasure and make amends to you?"

This condition is tempting, but...

Lingxiang hesitated for a long time before she spoke with difficulty: "Forget about the apology, but don't rush to ask for accusations about what Senior Brother saw in this Dust-penetrating Mirror later."

When Master Fuyin heard her say this, he was relieved: his spiritual treasures were not as many as Senior Brothers Chengxin and Zhaoming, and they would be gone after a few times. But then he thought again: Accountability? Could it be that this devil girl had done something and was using this matter to ask for a favor?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were just as he imagined. He glanced at Lingxiang suspiciously, then stared at the Dust-Seeing Mirror carefully.

However, the elders only focused on the performance of the disciples, but ignored some minor details. Only Shangqing Zhenren was uneasy, but he didn't know where the mistake was...

……

On Yinyu Peak, a man dressed in the clothes of an outer sect disciple was wandering aimlessly. No one knew what method he used, but all the spiritual energy was gone from his body. In his hand, he was holding a disc-shaped object of unknown use.

When the man walked into the depths of the dense forest, he stood still, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he looked at the thing in his hand, as if hesitating whether to throw it away, but also seemed reluctant to do so.

He just stood there, staring, motionless.

……

"You're here?" The man in white didn't even turn his head, but kept fanning himself. In this cold winter season, this behavior seemed extremely incongruous.

"Yes!" The person who came was the one wearing the outer sect disciple's uniform. He bowed to the man in white and asked, "I wonder what the messenger wanted me to do when he asked me to come here five days ago?"

Now that the martial arts performance is approaching, the schoolwork is tight, and the outer disciples are traveling together, it is extremely difficult to get away.

The man in white didn't care about the situation of the person behind him, as if he didn't care about the life or death of the person behind him. He just paused for a moment and then took out something from his arms, which was the disc-shaped object.

“This is a compass engraved with the summoning formation. Place it on the Yinyu Peak before practicing martial arts. When the Paishan formation is activated, it will activate along with it.” After saying that, he threw the compass to the person behind him.

The man took the compass and felt conflicted, but he didn't show it on his face.

But who is the man in white? He is the leader of the Demon Lord's capable generals. Although he did not turn around, he could still feel the man's hesitation.

"You must remember that your mother's life is still in my hands. Only by working hard for me can you ensure her safety!"

……

The man dressed in outer disciple's clothes stood there for a long time, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he threw the compass into the bushes, turned around and left.

But he didn't notice that there was someone behind him, staring at him silently for a long time.

I won’t read that book because I have a fan who really annoys me and I hate him too much.
