After the master's ascension

"Hopefully..."

In the endless darkness, faint calls came from afar.The darkness seemed to tremble slightly, and finally had a strange thought.

someone is calling me...

As he thought this way, the darkness was like a thick black cloth, a corner was quietly lifted, and a ray of light shone in like this.

The scenery in front of me gradually became clear.

It was like a drowning person who was finally pulled out from the suffocating deep sea, broke through the barriers of the five senses, and returned to the world.

The tip of his nose was instantly filled with a strong smell of medicine and a touch of blood.

He smelled the rusty smell a lot, whether it was someone else's or his own.

Lu Wangyu's thoughts came back, and his eyes finally had focus.

He saw a face he should never see again.

"Brother..."

He opened his lips slightly, but he couldn't make any sound. It was as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, and it was extremely difficult to even breathe.

Seeing that he finally opened his eyes, Lu Qilan's face was full of surprise.The blood in his eyes hadn't faded, and his eyes were black and blue, as if he hadn't slept for a few days.

He rushed over in a hurry and asked repeatedly.

"Wangyu, how do you feel? What's wrong?"

Lu Wangyu closed his eyes, he swallowed the surging blood in his throat, the bones all over his body seemed to be crushed, and he felt a sharp dull pain.

"I'm fine...I'm not, am I dead?"

Lu Qixuan gritted his teeth, hating that iron could not become steel, and said: "You almost died! Fortunately, my master and I guarded Feisheng Pond all day long, and we fished you up immediately, otherwise..."

Lu Qilan looked at the tired expression on his junior brother's face, and suddenly stopped his rambling.

He lowered his voice and asked: "Wang Yu, what happened, why did you ascend so quickly, and, with your natural nature, how did you almost die under the lightning calamity..."

He paused, and still asked the unavoidable question.

"What about the contract?"

After the voice fell, there was a suffocating silence around.It seemed that the air at this moment was also frozen, and could no longer flow.

Seeing his junior, Lu Qilan slowly opened his eyes, and there was an extremely strange emotion in those eyes.

After a long time, Lu Wangyu's tired answer finally came from his ears.

"The executive contract is gone, I didn't protect him well."

Lu Qilan was stunned, his throat seemed to be blocked, his lips parted slightly, but he couldn't speak a word.

His hands had nowhere to rest, and his eyes didn't know where to fall.Really didn't know how to face this news, so he could only hastily find an excuse to leave.

"Don't think too much about it... I'll go to Master and tell him you're awake."

Lu Wangyu's gaze fell slightly on the back of his senior brother leaving.He stared at it for a long time, and finally closed his eyes slowly.

After a while, the senior brother came back carefully holding a bowl of medicine, and Wei Qian followed behind him.

Lu Wangyu looked at them without any expression on his face, he greeted softly: "Master..."

Wei Qian also looked tired, and he presumably got the news from Lu Qixuan.

He didn't ask anything, just stepped forward silently, feeling the pulse for the apprentice.

Withdrawing his hand, he sighed softly, and said: "Bones are broken, and the inner breath collides... You have to take care of it for ten days and a half months before you can get out of bed."

Lu Wangyu just leaned quietly on the head of the bed, there was no light in his dark eyes.

He replied softly: "Thank you, Master."

Lu Qilang carefully held the medicine and stepped forward, the hot steam was dense, and for a moment, the bitter smell spread throughout the room.

He carefully scooped up a spoonful of medicine, intending to put it to his junior brother's mouth.

But Lu Wangyu just watched him quietly, ignoring the soup and medicine delivered to his mouth.

He opened his lips slightly, and asked softly: "Brother, why do you say that you and Master guard Feisheng Pool day and night?"

The sudden question interrupted Lu Qilan's movements, his hands froze, and there was imperceptible panic in his eyes.

After a short pause, he still stumbled and explained: "Isn't this to meet you and execute the contract?"

"But senior brother just asked me why I ascended so quickly..." Lu Wangyu was not perfunctory, "This shows that senior brother has not considered the possibility of our ascension at present, so how can we respond?"

Lu Qilan was completely speechless, he put the spoon back into the bowl, and cast his eyes for help to the silent master behind him.

Wei Qian just watched Lu Wangyu quietly.He is a disciple with a firm heart and an extraordinary mind.

Under such a situation, amidst such pain, he could still maintain his rationality and be keenly aware of the clues.

Lu Wangyu didn't stop, his eyes were dark, and he vaguely felt some terrifying thoughts in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion easily.

He felt that his heart was suspended by a thin thread in the sky, crumbling, but still clinging to a glimmer of life.

"Besides, after I said that the executive contract was gone, your reaction was very wrong. The master and brother I am familiar with will never keep silent about this matter, and will never... be so calm."

He said seriously, word by word, "It was as calm as if you knew he was still alive..."

There was still silence, Lu Wangyu stared at the person from years ago.There was a slight bitterness in his mouth, but his heart was beating violently.

He didn't know what master and senior brother knew, and how they knew it.

However, their various reactions seemed to point to that impossible result.

The result that he could not even dream of.

Lu Wangyu didn't continue to press, he turned his head and talked about the scene at that time: "When the last thunderstorm fell, I saw the contract."

As he spoke, he stared at Lu Qilan with his dark eyes, not letting go of any detail on his face.

"He said, congratulations, senior brother, for being certified."

His eyes were moist, and he repeated word by word what the contract executive said at that time.

"The road is smooth."

Lu Wangyu's voice was already trembling badly, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, and he almost uttered the last four words through gritted teeth.

"Nothing to worry about..."

The spoon in Lu Qilang's hand stopped.He lowered his eyes, his eyes were already wet, but he never said a word, and couldn't bear to look at his junior brother's desperate expression.

Lu Wangyu's voice was hoarse, and he asked the most critical question.

"Brother, what are you guys hiding from me? How can I ascend? How can I survive that thunderstorm and Chengyang Peak's Spirit Extinguishing Formation..."

"What the hell do you know..."

Lu Qilan pursed his lips tightly, he couldn't answer, so he was about to take the medicine and leave in silence.But never thought that Lu Wangyu struggled to get out of bed.

He didn't have the strength to get up at all, and just fell straight off the bed.

The unhealed wound on his body was torn open again, and a large swath of dark red blood instantly bloomed on his white obscene clothes.

Lu Qilan turned around in shock, only to find that his always proud junior, his always calm and calm junior, had deep pleading in his eyes.

He gave up all his arrogance and all his calmness, just for the possible answer in his heart.

"Brother, to enforce the contract...is it to enforce the contract..."

Lu Wangyu struggled to prop up his body, his whole body was trembling, and the corners of his eyes were red.In his eyes, a faint hope was once again ignited.

That hug may not be his near-death hallucination, not his dream... but a warm, touchable figure.

It's the person he misses the most...

Could it be that the Prayer Tower is a false nightmare, and the contract is still somewhere in the world, waiting for me to take him home.

Lu Qilan hurriedly helped him up, his throat moved slightly, and his eyes were full of struggle.

He looked at the hope in his junior brother's eyes, it was no longer the abyss-like silence, but a starlight that suddenly lit up in the dark night.

However, whether the truth will make this bit of starlight a prairie fire to rekindle life, or let it be completely extinguished, everything is unknown.

Lu Qilan turned his head to look at his master, only to see that real Wei Qian was also helpless, he sighed, and nodded slowly.

Therefore, Lu Qilan had no choice but to speak carefully: "Wang Yu, Master and I were discussing it, and we will tell you when your injury is better..."

He clenched his fists, met Lu Wangyu's gaze, and said seriously: "The contract may really still be there."

Lu Wangyu stared at him blankly, the tears in his eyes finally fell.

His heart felt as if he had stepped on an empty cliff, and after a moment of relaxation, it tightened again.

He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Then why did he hide it from me...Even if he only has a soul body left, I can still practice the ghost way..."

"Why didn't he tell me..."

Lu Qilan didn't answer his question directly, he avoided Lu Wangyu's sight and spoke slowly.

"Wang Yu, have you ever thought about... what exactly is a contract?"

He looked at his younger brother and said word by word: "We always thought that he was the Jade Demon from Cangshan Mountain. But it wasn't until Master and I ascended that we realized that the monster race is just like the human race, and is bred and inherited by blood."

"How can jade have blood, and how can it be a demon?"

Lu Wangyu was stunned, and he remembered what the son Rong Sheng had inadvertently mentioned when he was in Nanling.

"The Void Prison should allow all monster races to pass through, but Mr. Wei's body is quite rare. At least, I have never seen it in the Hundred Monsters Illustrated Book I read... So, I don't know whether the Void Prison Formation can accept him. Dare to jump to conclusions."

Seeing that Lu Wangyu frowned, he was quite worried, and he added: "However, it may be because of the lack of Yaozu's classics, so the Major General need not worry too much."

Therefore, Lu Wangyu thought about using the Thousand Chance Mirror and Cangshan Baishi to try the virtual prison formation.

After finding that they could not be accepted, he gave up the idea of ​​tricking the contract into it.

Except for the monster race, the only ones who can transform into form are spirit monsters.But the execution of the contract is absolutely impossible to be a ghost.

Although spirits and monsters can be plants, trees, flowers and stones, they absorb the aura of heaven and earth. After getting a great opportunity, they need to open their spiritual wisdom first, and then they can practice transformation.

Therefore, when they took shape, they were spiritually mature and basically looked like adults.

Lu Qilan affirmed his judgment, and said: "We all grew up watching the execution of the contract. When he first took shape, he was just a child, so naturally he couldn't be a ghost..."

Not a monster race, not a spirit monster...

Who is the executive?

Lu Wangyu looked at the serious expressions on the faces of his master and his seniors, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

But the covenant is alive... that's enough.

No matter what he is or where he is, I will bring him home.
