Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 165 Four Strange Stories
Because they were too reckless in their first commission and almost killed themselves, the three were punished by Sui Guanxian to face the wall in the back mountain for a month, and were ordered to inform her in advance if there were similar things in the future, or bring Yan Feng with them.
Outer sect disciples came to watch, some were "gloating" over their misfortune, some knew the whole story and expressed sympathy for them, and they all brought some small gadgets to pass the time.
Feeling that he was still too weak to be able to stand on his own, Lu Jinzhao began to meditate and practice without stopping while facing the wall. He closed his eyes and accelerated the absorption of spiritual energy.
Su Pingxin came to deliver food to the three of them on time every day, rain or shine. Rong Ying took the food box and started eating, complaining that his life facing the wall was too boring and he needed to have some fun. Lu Jinzhao was annoyed by his noise, so he slapped him on the back of his head, got up, and went to another place to continue facing the wall.
Rong Ying's mouthful of rice almost got stuck in his throat, and he coughed it out after a long time. He pointed his chopsticks at his junior fellow apprentice and said angrily, "Practicing requires a calm mind. If you can't calm down, you will naturally think I'm making a fuss!"
Lu Jinzhao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"I asked you to face the wall, and you came to entertain me?" Sui Guanxian appeared beside the stone wall with his arms folded across his chest. Seeing the senior disciple who was honestly reflecting on himself, the junior disciple who was practicing seriously, and the second disciple who was eating happily and having a bunch of small toys to entertain himself, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Rong Ying's time facing the wall has tripled."
Sui Guanxian took away all those little gadgets. Rong Ying wanted to cry but had no tears: "Master, no!!"

Thanks to some big mouth, the people in the territory of Huoyun Valley knew about their destruction of Huoyun Valley and spread the word. Not only did they say that they had eliminated the tyrannical sect for the people, but they also spread the news that the people in the territory of Shangcang could live and work in peace and happiness, and their happiness level increased sharply.
As a result, the people there came to the sect to pay tribute and request the sect to take over the original jurisdiction of Huoyun Valley.
Originally, when a sect was destroyed and needed to replace the debts, it was usually divided up by several nearby sects. This was the first time that a sect that had nothing to do with the sect had come all the way to ask for jurisdiction.
Lu Jinchao casually sorted out the whole story and figured it out. He then started to tell tales in his mind: "It must have been Rong Ying who asked his sect disciples to do it."
Sui Guanxian also figured this out, and a rare expression of speechlessness appeared on his beautiful face: "Let him face the wall for twice as long."
"If you double that, it will be half a year." Qiansui counted with his cat's paws, "Yes, it takes a lot of people to spread the rumor throughout the entire jurisdiction in a short period of time. The rumor is all true, which means he knows our sect and is one of us. Moreover, this person has a high status, otherwise he would not have the courage to do such a thing. In summary, it can only be Rong Ying."
The eldest disciple's parents are both dead, the youngest disciple was born of heaven and earth, the family of three of the guardian beast are all here, the outer disciples don't know the inside story. Sui Guanxian can summon millions of clones to do it by herself, but she won't do such a thing, so there is only this second disciple left.
Chitose tilted his head: "What's his purpose in doing this?"
"Why don't you just ask Rong Ying himself?"
"Yeah, let me ask."
"Of course it's for reputation!" Rong Ying said unhappily, "If you do good things, you have to let the world know about it. Otherwise, how can anyone sign up and entrust you? There are less than 30 people left after enrollment. Every time I enter the school from the seven main peaks, there are three or four pairs of eyes looking at me. I even found out where their ancestral graves are! In three months, there's only one commission! And it was submitted by one of our own people! Good wine needs no bush, and gold buried in the mud won't shine!"
It sounds like he has a lot of resentment. I guess he feels bored because there are too few people. After all, he is the only social terrorist among the master's disciples, so it's no surprise that he likes to be in the crowd.
"That makes sense." Qiansui rubbed his paws, found a comfortable position on Rong Ying's shoulder, and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep. "But have you ever thought that those sects that covet the territory of Huoyun Valley will come to you out of jealousy?"
"I have thought about it, but Master and Uncle Yanfeng can easily beat them away. Then maybe we can catch them all at once and bring them all into our sect."
"Haha, have you forgotten that your master hates trouble? She knows it's you who caused the trouble, so she will punish you by doubling the time you spend facing the wall."
"What??????!"
*
Because he could automatically absorb spiritual energy all day long, Lu Jinchao advanced rapidly and soon surpassed his two senior brothers.
Rong Ying was still facing the wall. Upon hearing the news, he fell on his back and said, "This hurts my self-esteem. I am actually worse than a three-year-old child..."
Qiansui knew that he was a funny guy with no bad intentions, so after watching the show, he just wagged his tail and walked away.
Mingxiao, on the other hand, originally spent most of his time in cultivation every day, but he managed to squeeze out an hour from his busy schedule, not wanting to be outdone by his third junior brother in everything.
*
As the sect's reputation spread, commissions began to increase, and all disciples began to have something to do outside of class.
At the same time, gradually, many strange stories came out in the sect.
Qiansui came back from gathering information, whispered mysteriously into Lu Jinzhao's ear, "They said that in the back mountain of the sect, there are always faint cries and eerie laughter at any time of day or night. A certain disciple reportedly saw a ghostly figure emitting green light floating around in the back mountain. Several brave disciples went to the back mountain to check, but they all became dazed when they came back."
"By the way, you also know those people who went there together."
Lu Jinzhao finally opened his eyelids: "Bai Chao and the others?"
"And Ye Wuhen."
"What about other weird stories?"
"It is said that strange footsteps and the sound of turning pages are often heard in the library late at night. Some people also said that a white figure flashed by in the library. As a result, all the disciples dared not approach the library at night."
The library was the one that Lu Jinchao dug out from Canhuamen.
The Canhua Sect itself had a large inventory, and Sui Guanxian also put a lot of his own collection in it, so there were all kinds of strange books in it.
Lu Jinzhao specially opened a storybook area to save some novels that he liked after reading. Sui Guanxian would also put his newly bought storybooks in it, so this area was very popular among disciples.
Qiansui contributed an intelligent library management tool to facilitate disciples to register and borrow books.
After Sui Guanxian learned the news, he added some space magic to it, so that the books whose names were read could float out by themselves, and no matter how many books were added, the library would not be overcrowded.
The combination of the two is extremely convenient and has been widely praised.
The disciples would go there to read books and pass the time in their spare time.
But after the strange story appeared, the number of disciples going to the library obviously decreased a lot.
"Any more?"
"At the sect's martial arts training ground, every midnight, there are countless figures practicing martial arts, and the sound of weapons clashing is endless. The disciples are so scared that they dare not approach."
It was midnight. Lu Jinchao became interested and stood up to straighten his clothes. "Let's go and take a look."
Qiansui grabbed him with his front paws and said, "It's haunted! Aren't you most afraid of ghosts?!"
"I was afraid when I was a child. When I grew up, I found that people were generally afraid of female ghosts and ghost babies. Netizens said that it was because the feudal dregs persecuted many women and babies, and they felt guilty, so they were subconsciously afraid of them. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. After I figured it out, I'm no longer afraid." Lu Jinzhao held the cat in his arms and gently comforted it, "If there really is a ghost haunting the sect, it means there may be a grievance. We just need to resolve its knot and send it to reincarnation."
"Oh." Qiansui huddled in the host's arms: "But are there also six reincarnations here?"
Lu Jinzhao: "...You stumped me."
"Ask later?"
"Well, let's go to the library first today."
"Why is it the library? I want to go and see the one in the back mountain."
"It's too late. They must have rested. Let's ask them tomorrow and then go investigate." Lu Jinzhao walked towards the library with the cat in his arms.
His courtyard was adjacent to Rong Ying's courtyard, and he did not hide his aura, so he was easily discovered by Rong Ying when he passed by.
Rong Ying chased out and asked his junior brother where he was going so late instead of resting.
Lu Jinzhao said that he wanted to investigate the recent strange stories in the sect.
Rong Ying immediately expressed his willingness to join the expedition and go with him. If anything happened, he could protect his junior brother.
Qiansui looked disdainful: "It's you who needs protection now."
Rong Ying got angry: "Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic!"
My junior brother is a child prodigy, and he also has the cheating tool of a natural spiritual body. It’s not surprising that he can overtake others on a curve. Really.
He and Qiansui were arguing the whole time. Lu Jinchao quickened his pace and came to the door of the library. He saw that the lights were on inside the library, but there was only one person in the reading area, Sui Guanxian.
Sui Guanxian was leaning lazily on the couch with his hair loose, reading a picture book. When he saw his two disciples, he closed the book and put it aside, smiling and waving at them: "Come here."
Qiansui took a look at the white robe he was wearing and had a bad feeling: "The white-clothed ghost in the library late at night mentioned by the outer disciples, could it be you???"
"Ghost?" Sui Guanxian picked up his little disciple and sat him in his arms, pinching his soft face non-stop: "Is there a ghost in the sect?"
Rong Ying crossed his arms and said, "Could it be that the undead spirits from Huoyun Valley that Master had destroyed are causing trouble?"
"It's just a rumor at the moment." Lu Jinzhao blocked his mischievous hand and looked around: "An outer disciple claimed to have seen a ghost in the library, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
Sui Guanxian seemed to remember something, his eyebrows slightly raised, he stood up and walked to a row of huge bookshelves, took out a white object from the gap between the bookshelf and the wall, and placed it in front of the two disciples: "Is this what you are talking about?"
The white object that looked like neither fog nor liquid twisted and turned, and it was hard to tell what it was. Qiansui floated forward, stretched out his cat paw and patted it: "It feels good, like silicone, and looks like a living thing. What is this?"
I turned on the identification function, scanned it, and it showed that it was a spirit.
This spirit body is not that spirit body. It is completely different from Lu Jinchao's spirit body. This thing is a kind of life form similar to a soul.
"Book spirit." Sui Guanxian poked the thing and said, "It was born not long ago. I don't know who influenced it, but it's very shy and afraid of people."
Qiansui circled it twice, but couldn't see its face. He began to suspect that it had no facial features or limbs. "Why not just call it Nie Nie? It feels like it will burst if you squeeze it a little bit."
The book spirit was frightened by the cat face that suddenly enlarged, and crawled into Sui Guanxian's clothes, which were lying lazily on their sides. As a result, his deep V collar was stretched open, revealing a large area of skin. He himself didn't care much, but Lu Jinchao quickly stepped forward and took out the book spirit, tightened his collar, and said, "Sooner or later, I will sew all these clothes together."
Sui Guanxian smiled and pinched his face out of shape: "I seem to be running a sect, not a men's ethics class. How could I teach a little old-fashioned person like you?"
Lu Jinzhao put the book spirit down, stood on tiptoe and grabbed Sui Guanxian's face, hurting each other: "If I ask you to teach men's virtues, you will have to run naked around the world."
Qiansui secretly took a photo of this scene, and planned to put it in his host's memoirs. In terms of beauty, it had to admit that Sui Guanxian's appearance was indeed very attractive. Just now, it almost took out flowers to propose (not really.
Rong Ying said weakly: "Well, I want to pinch it too..."
The two of them pinched each other and looked at him: "No."
Rong Ying: “…” Biased.
Regarding the birth of the book spirit, Lu Jinchao posted a notice on the sect's bulletin board the next day, explaining this episode of strange stories in the library. As a result, many disciples saw it and made a special trip to the library to see the book spirit. They were so annoyed that they became even more socially anxious and refused to show up at all.
Having just solved a strange story the night before, Lu Jinzhao ran to the back mountain where strange noises were said to be heard.
The area of the back mountain is very large, including the residences of disciples, spiritual plant gardens, natural hot springs, livestock breeding areas, etc. In addition, there are still large undeveloped areas.
The place where this strange story occurred is near the hot spring where Sui Guanxian often bathed.
Thinking back to when nothing happened at Canhua Sect but only four months after coming to this sect, a book spirit was born in the library. Qiansui had a hunch that it might be because Sui Guanxian had too much spiritual energy in his body, so it was easy for spirits to be born where he was.
Therefore, there might be something similar near the hot springs.
It told its guess to its host, and Lu Jinzhao nodded in agreement, but still needed to find out more.
He went to ask the four people, Bai Lanli, during the day, and their statements were basically the same. They all said that when they got close to the hot spring, they would hear sounds similar to that of a baby crying and laughing, which had its own echo and it was impossible to locate the source.
Qiansui shrank into his host's arms in fear: "I swear I have never done anything bad to children, but I am still afraid of the suspected ghost baby. What should I do?!"
Lu Jinzhao was grabbed by the collar by it, and it was so choking that he couldn't breathe. He felt helpless and said, "How about you drink some Chinese medicine to regulate your body?"
"You want to use me as a guinea pig, right? I won't fall for your trick!"
As night fell, the forest was completely silent, with only a faint moonlight shining through. The hot spring was still the same hot spring, but somehow, it looked warm and pleasant during the day, but became eerie and gloomy at night.
Suddenly, a faint sound of a baby crying was heard, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
Qiansui was so scared that he didn't dare to look at it. Lu Jinchao let it release its entity and follow him. They circled around the hot spring but found nothing. He stared at the surface of the hot spring and finally decided to jump into the hot spring to find out what was going on.
Logically speaking, it was just a hot spring and shouldn't be too deep. You should be able to see the bottom at a glance. But after looking for a while, he found that the hot spring was much deeper than he had imagined.
Not long after diving, Lu Jinzhao discovered that there was something moving under the hot spring, and the baby's strange laughter also came from that thing.
After a closer look, he found that it was the sea beast egg that Mingxiao won in the martial arts competition. It had not yet hatched, but it could already use the egg shape to drill into the soft mud at the bottom of the water. It seemed that it was relying on this to connect from the artificial pool on the main peak to this hot spring.
The eggshell is blue-green all over and glows evenly, like a breathing light. This also explains the floating green shadows.
It seemed to be having a lot of fun, and it kept making clear laughter. After several echoes, it sounded like a baby crying, and thus became a strange story in the sect.
After figuring out the whole story, Lu Jinchao was both angry and amused. He caught the egg and put it back into the main peak pond. The egg was disobedient and jumped up to butt him. Lu Jinchao flicked it with his fingers, and water skipped across the pond, which obviously made the egg dizzy, causing Qiansui to burst into laughter.
Dan turned around and dived into the water, then suddenly rushed out of the water, splashing water all over Qiansui.
