I am a shooter
Chapter 25 Sanity and Breakthrough
As they ran away, a winding river appeared in front of them. Ning Shu was worried, her mind was full of the issue of exposing her face. She was very scared at the moment and just wanted to find a place to hide.
When I got closer, I saw dense weeds on both sides of the stream. I thought this would be a good place to hide, so I dived in!
Water calms the heart and soothes the anxiety. At this moment, Ning Shu hid in the weeds on the shore. His reason gradually returned and he began to analyze in his mind:
I don't know how many people can survive the sudden explosion in the cave! But those people saw my face, which led to their inability to defend themselves in time. If anyone loses his life because of this, then I will be the murderer.
Judging from their attire, we can tell that they are from the Divine Sword Sect. The Divine Sword Sect is a very large sect. If the survivors report back to the sect, then we will be the ones who killed the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.
Maybe they didn't know that it was me who showed up! As soon as I thought of this, I immediately denied it in my heart: If I find out about the sect's mission, I will know that I am the only one who has accepted the mission of collecting the Sky Leopard Claws. That will also make people suspicious. Maybe the other party has some means to check the situation at that time.
Ning Shu soaked in the river, trying to calm herself down, thinking quickly, what if she first pretended to be someone else and sold all the Sky Leopard corpses, and then went to buy them herself? But she quickly denied it again: selling and buying at this moment was too coincidental, and it would be easy to be suspected.
So if I give up this mission, can I avoid it? However, I was still denied: suddenly giving up the mission is also full of doubts, what should I do!
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She could go back again and pretend that she was on a mission for the first time. If she met the previous people, she could pretend that she was on a mission. If she didn't meet them, she could say that she was in a mess when she arrived. This way, she could confuse the facts. The most clever trick is to tell the truth, but not the whole story.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu immediately changed his clothes, took out the clothes of a Shaozong disciple, pretended to be in a hurry, and rushed towards Feile Valley again.
After a while, a person flew by on a sword in the air. Before he could see who it was, he suddenly stopped above Ning Shu. Although he was covered in dust, he still had a confident and domineering attitude. This person was Dongfang Mian.
Dongfang Mian saw a man wearing the uniform of a Shao Zong disciple below, and he shouted to Ning Shu in a haughty manner:
"stop!"
After hearing the shout, Ning Shu raised his head and looked in the direction of the sky. When he looked up, Dongfang Mian saw an ugly girl with two braids and a big black mark on her face, which almost made him stumble and fall off the flying sword. Worried about missing the trace of the fairy, he directly covered his eyes with his hands and asked:
"Have you ever seen a fairy pass by?"
When Ning Shu heard this, he knew something was wrong. He was indeed looking for trouble. But he remained calm on the surface and only replied in confusion:
"Little fairy? I have come all the way here and there are few people. You are the first person I met after entering the forest."
After hearing this, Dongfang Mian felt that a little girl in the Qi training stage would not dare to deceive herself, so she said again:
"I am the fifth prince, Dongfang Mian, and disciples of Shaozong, listen to my order: if you encounter a fairy with a longbow on your way, notify me immediately."
After that, he took out a piece of positioning paper, threw it to Ning Shu, and said:
"When the time comes, you just need to inject your spiritual power into it, and I will know the location."
Although Ning Shu was nervous inside, he still tried to test the situation respectfully:
"Your Highness, can you tell me what the fairy looks like? I'm afraid I've recognized the wrong person."
At this moment, Dongfang Mian had a silly look on his face, as if he was intoxicated by the memories, and said:
"A little fairy, with bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as white as jade, she is naturally stunningly beautiful. Judging from her figure, she should be a young girl, slightly shorter than me, but with an extraordinary temperament. In short, you can tell if she is a little fairy at a glance!"
After hearing Dongfang Mian say this, Ning Shu felt a little complicated. Hearing these compliments, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She could only complain to herself: It seems that I am a troublemaker before I even grow up!
However, he still responded respectfully to Dongfang Mian:
"Your Highness, if I were to encounter a fairy, I would definitely use the talisman paper."
Seeing this, Dongfang Mian did not forget to make plans and said to Ning Shu:
"If you do this well, this prince will definitely reward you!"
Only after seeing Ning Shu's grateful thanks did he fly away on his sword.
The older generation often said that young people tend to judge people by appearance, especially men in this world. If Dongfang Mian carefully observed the person in front of him, he would have seen that the person in front of him was highly similar in figure to the fairy he had seen. Unfortunately, he missed this opportunity and thought that the person in front of him was just an ugly girl based on her face.
After Dongfang Mian's "interrogation", Ning Shu was satisfied with the plan he had chosen. Now with the "witness" of the fifth prince, it would be easier to explain.
After coming to Feile Valley again, Ning Shu saw a mess. The group of sky leopards seemed to have fled from here. In the bombed cave, it seemed that two people were carefully moving stones, and two people were dead underneath. The two people who were moving the stones had blood at the corners of their mouths, and it was obvious that they were seriously injured.
These two people were Li Zhi and Wang Yuan from the Divine Sword Sect. Seeing this, Ning Shu stepped forward and asked:
“Two seniors, what happened? Such a scene.” As he said this, he took out a recovery pill from his arms and handed it to the two.
Li Zhi saw that the person who came was dressed as a disciple of Shaozong and looked like a young girl, but the huge black mark on her face was unforgettable.
The two took the pills Ning Shu handed over and swallowed them immediately. Li Zhi said:
"Thank you, Junior Sister Shaozong, for sending me the medicine. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
When Ning Shu heard this, he immediately shook his head and replied:
"You are too polite, Senior Brother. I have these pills with me for missions, but I don't think I will need them in this situation."
Following Ning Shu's gaze, Li Zhi also asked in confusion:
"Junior sister, what mission did you accept?"
Ning Shu replied:
"Collect the claws of the sky leopard."
Li Zhi was surprised:
"You are only in the Qi Refining Stage, how dare you accept such a dangerous mission."
Ning Shu reacted immediately and made up a story:
"Originally, I just came here to investigate the situation. Master, once I have found out the exact information, he will come to help me."
Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded, thinking in his heart that although this girl had an ugly face, she was kind-hearted and was a really good girl.
Then he said to Ning Shu:
"Junior sister is lucky. Many sky leopards have been blown to death. Junior sister can go and look for some."
After seeing this, Ning Shu did not hesitate to step forward again to collect some of the Sky Leopard corpses. He also left some healing pills on him to the two men and left.
At this moment, the two of them looked at Ning Shu's leaving back. Li Zhi seemed to have thought of something and asked again:
"Junior sister, could you please leave your name so that I can repay you in the future?"
Ning Shu replied:
"Ning Shu!"
Wang Yuan, who was standing by, seemed to have recovered a little and asked:
"Brother, two of our fellow apprentices died this time. How are we going to explain this when we get back?"
Li Zhi also said sadly:
"We can only report the truth and send a message back to the clan first."
Wang Yuan seemed to have thought of something, but did not speak.
Ning Shu felt relieved that he had overcome the difficulties and headed towards the sect.
At night, Ning Shu, who was about to travel overnight, suddenly felt dizzy and extremely tired. Ning Shu guessed that this experience made her mentally exhausted, so she stopped and prepared to find a big tree to rest for a while before continuing.
There are lush trees and many giant trees here. Ning Shu randomly picked a tree and climbed up. After reaching the top of the tree, he sat on a branch, leaned against the trunk and fell asleep.
Ning Shu fell into a coma and entered the consciousness space again. It was still the lonely figure, but Ning Shu felt that the figure was no longer crying, but just curled up. Ning Shu wanted to get closer to her again, but the barrier was still there and could not be broken through.
But I found that next to that lonely figure, two small flowers were leaning against each other. The black and white flowers looked like they were blooming on a vine, which was very beautiful. At this moment, a drop of rain fell on the petals of the petals inside the barrier, and then drops of rain continued to fall, creating a sad and beautiful picture. Ning Shu slapped the barrier, trying to get that figure away.
At this moment, in Ning Shu's Qi Sea, under the blessing of the powerful stalactite, the originally thick spiritual fog was like a dark cloud about to rain. Under the rotation, raindrops actually fell. Dense raindrops dripped from the spiritual fog and continuously gathered into a small pond.
At the same time, Ning Shu's body was also undergoing strange changes; the stalactites that had originally accumulated in his internal organs were gradually carried away by the circulating blood during his high-speed running, and continued to flow through Ning Shu's body along with the blood.
There were no such changes originally, but Ning Shu never stopped and kept moving at high speed, so the blood flow accelerated. The stalactites had circulated throughout the body along with the blood many times, and finally, driven by the boiling blood, they evaporated into gas and penetrated into the whole body, constantly squeezing out the impurities in the body. This process was very energy-consuming, so the drowsiness gradually worsened, and finally he could not resist and fell asleep.
The small black flower on the forehead became lighter in color and turned gray.
The skin of the body also began to change as the body changed. Cracks were seen creeping from the chest to the neck, to the face, and then all over the body. Then the cracks on the face became larger, a piece of leather immediately fell off, and then fell off in large pieces like a flood.
After the skin fell off, it looked like white jade, hairless and shiny, like a peeled egg. However, as the body changed, Ning Shu's whole body exuded a strange smell, which instantly attracted some poisonous creatures around, as if the smell was a tonic for them. Some snakes, scorpions, centipedes, poisonous insects, etc., passed through the tree trunk and attacked Ning Shu.
The gray flower on the forehead began to emit gray mist, which enveloped Ning Shu. The gray mist seemed to have consciousness, dragging all the poisonous creatures that attacked into the gray mist, and they were no longer visible, as if they were directly melted by the gray mist and completely dissipated.
The poisons that attacked from all directions were all transformed into energy and re-entered Ning Shu's body. The replenished energy acted like an accelerator, allowing his hands and feet, which had not yet completely peeled off, to undergo a complete transformation.
In the early morning, the sun shone on Ning Shu's face, and the wind blew gently through the branches over her body, slowly waking her up. When she opened her eyes, Ning Shu felt comfortable all over, having a rare good sleep. However, after waking up, she found that there seemed to be some dirt between her body and clothes, which made her feel uncomfortable.
He immediately took off his shoes, untied the straps, jumped, and shook out a pile of leather crumbs, which flew away in the wind under the sunlight.
After coming to his senses, Ning Shu discovered that his hands were as white as jade, flawless and without any visible pores, let alone sweat hairs.
This change immediately frightened her, and she quickly touched her face. Fortunately, her eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair were still there, otherwise she would really have turned into an egg.
He quickly took out the mirror from the storage ring. He had to admit that the face in the mirror was too beautiful to be real! It was like the skin after beautification in the Blue Star video. The black flower on his forehead also turned gray. Ning Shu was surprised and wondered what happened to him. He had changed so much.
After some thought, he finally guessed: It should be the stalactite combined with the Xisui Sutra he practiced before that caused such a change in himself.
The word "washing marrow" is the highest realm of body refining: from the skin, flesh, bones, internal organs to the meridians, they will all undergo qualitative changes. It was by chance that I reached the very rare skin jade flower of body refining.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu threw a punch, and the air brought by this punch actually knocked away all the branches and leaves in front of him.
The strength was increased again. It must be twice as strong as during the test, which is nearly 80,000 pounds.
Although this power is not considered a natural gift among monks, as a female monk, this change can make up for the disadvantage of insufficient strength.
She suppressed her inner joy, took out the black liquid and applied it on her face first. However, she found that it was fading off and had no color.
She immediately became anxious and searched for other disguise methods in her mind. Fortunately, she had read a lot in the library before. After thinking for a long time, she decided to make a human skin mask with animal skin. Thinking of this, she wanted to find a cave to hide and make it.
When leaving, Ning Shu took a step out of the tree and stepped directly to another tree. This change surprised Ning Shu. Could it be that his cultivation had broken through? He immediately calmed down and looked inward at the situation of his Qi Sea.
At this moment, in addition to the dense spiritual fog in the sea of qi, there is actually a pool of spiritual liquid water below it. Judging from the pool of water, I should have broken through to the spiritual transformation stage, but the spiritual fog above is still there, what is going on!
According to ancient records and what Master said: To transform spirit with Qi means to shrink the original spiritual fog in the Qi Sea into a spiritual liquid state, gather it together to form a pool of spiritual liquid water, which is the spiritual transformation stage cultivator, and to expand the pool to be like a lake is the sea gathering stage cultivator. But the whole process is initiated by the cultivator, not like Ning Shu.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu wanted to test whether he had broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He immediately used his spiritual power to control the broken knife, and the broken knife instantly flew out of the scabbard and hovered directly at his feet.
Ning Shu raised her foot and stood on the back of the knife. With her mind controlling it, she flew out in a flash, and her speed was not slow, unlike a cultivator who had just broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. At this point, she was finally sure that she had broken through, and she had broken through in her sleep. It seemed that she could only go back to the sect to ask her master about the strange situation of the Qi Sea.
The flying sword was indeed very fast. It quickly shuttled between the woods. Ning Shu soon found a cave and flew in immediately.
After blocking the entrance of the cave, Ning Shu took out the corpse of a sky leopard, peeled off the animal skin, and made a thin human skin mask. Although it was rough, it was not noticeable if you looked closely. Then he smeared black liquid on the human skin mask and put it on with confidence.
After doing all this, Ning Shu took out a piece of cloth, covered his mouth and nose, and flew towards the sect on the broken knife.
When he returned to the sect, he was teased by the disciples guarding the gate:
"Junior Sister Ning Shu, you finally covered your face. You have grown a lot after this trip and now you know how to consider other people's feelings!"
However, facing these sarcastic remarks, Ning Shu didn't care at all and quickly headed towards Diyin Mountain. The most important thing at the moment was to see his master first.
At this moment in the Divine Sword Sect, the Seventh Elder was furious and wanted to issue a hunting order: offering a reward for the woman carrying the bow. However, after Dongfang Mian paid some price, the order was dropped!
