The Secret Daily of Sword Spirit

I was surprised, "If there is a ghost... shouldn't I tell the master more?"

But Master Langya shook his head firmly, and did not say the reason.But I couldn't sell a single step anymore, a certain thought made me suddenly shiver.

"impossible……"

"I'm just guessing..." Daoist Langya interrupted me, as if he was afraid that I would say that idea, "Actually, after Qiao Jiashu broke into the Zhenming Tower, I felt that something was wrong. Last time I talked with you As I said, in order to be able to grasp the situation in the Zhenming Pagoda, I need to activate the Tianwang Baojian every day. However, since using this magic mirror over the years has greatly consumed me, I have to enter meditation every ten days to adjust my breath for one day .Actually, this is not only because Tianwang Baojian consumes a lot of true energy, but also has something to do with my physique."

He took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table, "Although I am born with excellent bones, I am suitable for cultivating the psychic art of guarding the Tower of Life, but due to my natural yin veins, my qi and blood are vacant, so I have to do it every once in a while." Take this Changbai pill for ten days. On the day of taking it, you must enter the meditation and adjust your breath before the other medicine will take effect. Before I tell you, only three people know about this matter: the head teacher, Yu Xin who prescribed the medicine for my regular pulse diagnosis (kidney deficiency), and Wenxiu, who has been by my side since childhood."

I digested what he said in my mind, "You mean, the reason why Qiao Jiashu was able to enter the tower smoothly at that time was that someone who knew your weakness specially asked you to take the medicine and let him enter the tower?"

"That's right, but it's more than that. When we entered the tower, you saw that the seals between the first dozens of floors had been cracked. That is to say, before Qiao Jiashu came, this person had already made a little effort to suppress the life tower. It has been tampered with. Moreover, everything must be done within the time I take the medicine, otherwise I will definitely notice the movement in the Tower of Life. So this person must know the rules of my medicine well."

I fell into an ice cave, "Then...why didn't you investigate..."

"I was grounded at the time, and the head teacher should have done some investigation, but nothing was found. So I thought at the time, maybe I was overthinking. It's just that a series of things later made me have to pick up this book again. idea."

"Maybe Jiuli found out the news? Doesn't it have to be the ghost?"

"But is Jiuli capable of lurking in Shushan for a long time to break the seal in the pagoda?"

"If Jiuli uses the painting skin technique you mentioned, wouldn't it be possible?"

Master Langya nodded, "This is indeed a possibility. I also hope so. However, now that you have heard about strange things, I have to investigate. Yajiu, are you willing to help me?"

My throat was dry, and it took me a lot of effort to utter a few words, "How can I help?"

……

The next morning, I entered Zhaohua Hall with a large bouquet of roses.I know that the master will lead all the disciples to spend an hour in the Sanqing Hall to clean up after breakfast every morning. When I go at this time, I only meet two maids who are responsible for cleaning the house for the master.The little girl who has been serving the master all year round asked me with a smile if I had quarreled with the master, and I haven't seen me for so long.I also grinned stupidly, "Yeah, this is not an apology."

"But the head teacher won't come back until an hour later."

"It's okay, I'll just leave this flower and this letter of apology in the house, just don't throw them away~"

The two little girls smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, we will speak nice words for you~"

I carried the flowers into the house, found a vase and put them in, then I jumped onto the beam, and in the northwest corner of the room, I put the small piece of broken mirror given to me by Master Langya on the beam.

The mirror reflected the whole room, including the study, which was separated by a curtain.

After I left Zhaohua Hall, I was still not at ease, and when I returned to Cangjian Pavilion, I kept looking out the window in a daze.Danzhu called several people to start a game of Pai Gow, and they came over and shook my sword stand with their feet, "Sleep and get paralyzed!"

I stretched out my hand and slapped his face like chasing a fly, "Goofball, I'm meditating!"

"You meditate with a sword!" Dan Zhu stunned and pulled my spirit body out of the sword.I had no choice but to conjure up a few layers of clothes and play a game with them.However, because he didn't focus on this, he lost only one unlined garment in a short time.Jiao Ling laughed at the side, "Senior Brother Yajiu, are you impatient to let us admire your 'carcass'?"

I threw a card in his face, "I won't play anymore!"

After I finished speaking, I went outside.Regardless of the complaints that followed one after another, "Why don't you just leave?" "If you lose, you don't play, it's so boring!"

I squatted on the steps of the door to eat melon seeds, and felt someone sitting down next to me.

Danzhu said disgustedly, "Why do you spit melon seeds indiscriminately, do you have the quality?"

I forcefully shot a piece of melon seed rind from my mouth onto his clothes as if in protest.He quickly slapped it off as if disgusted, "Pojun! Come out and sweep the floor!"

Po Jun poked his head out unwillingly, "Why me? Why don't you sweep?" Dan Zhu tilted his head slightly, and gave him a charming smile, "I'm not as clean as you!" , Obediently picked up the broom to sweep the melon seeds.

How did Po Jun's IQ get picked up by his master...

Danzhu grabbed a few melon seeds from my hands and knocked them, then asked casually, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"No……"

Danzhu sighed, "You took everything I told you before, didn't you?"

"... What did you say..."

"What is a qualified sword? A sword is different from a human being. Don't always think that you are a human being, okay?" Danzhu shouted impatiently, "Even if the master or others treat you as a human being, you can't treat yourself as a human being." Do you understand? As long as you are loyal to a sword, you have nothing to worry about, why do you think so much?"

Sure enough, it was his rhetoric about the way of the sword again... I rolled my eyes, "Then when the master plans to throw you into the sword-making furnace, will you jump in obediently?"

After I finished speaking, I was taken aback, and he was also taken aback.

When I say this, isn't it equivalent to admitting in disguise that I have doubts about something...

Sure enough, the way Danzhu looked at me changed, "Yaojiu, no matter what you are investigating recently, you have to stop immediately."

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

"Are you crazy?! Suspect the master!" Dan Zhu looked at me, as if I had done something outrageous.I frowned, "I didn't suspect Master...but don't you think it's strange? When did Master break through the Formless Realm? Why did he ignore so many strange things happening in Shushan recently? And...his attitude towards me has also changed. It's strange... I just want to find out what he's hiding." Dan Zhu expressed disapproval, "Master doesn't need to reveal everything to others, does he? Who doesn't reveal their own secrets? It's a waste of him I value you so much, you actually think of him like this."

"I also know I shouldn't!" Dan Zhu's words pierced my heart, but I didn't want to admit it, "I just..."

"Is it just not reconciled that he suddenly turned cold towards you again?" Danzhu answered my words, and I couldn't refute.

I admit that besides worrying about the safety of the disciples in Shushan, I have a more selfish reason for being so active in investigating the Shushan incident.For some reason, I always feel that if I can find out the secret hidden by the master, I can understand why he suddenly took me thousands of miles away.

"Danzhu..."

"Ok?"

"Do you still remember where the master picked you up?"

Danzhu's expression softened a little, and he smiled, "How can I not remember? In fact, I had spiritual consciousness about 100 years before he picked me up. I didn't know where I was or what I was. I didn't even know that I existed. It was pitch black around me, but it was very hot. Then one day, a beam of light suddenly shot into the darkness, and then I saw the master..." Speaking of this, Danzhu's eyes were entwined with deep "I still remember the way the master walked towards me at that time, I thought he was a god..."

That feeling, I think I can completely understand.Even today, more than 60 years later, I still remember how blindingly that ray of light descended from the depths of the ocean.

"I remember that the master brought you back from the desert in the Western Regions."

"Yes, to be precise, it is the ruins of an ancient city that has been buried by yellow sand for hundreds of years."

I recalled that time, it was the second year after the encirclement and suppression of Qingqiu.The master hasn't traveled far since the war, only that time, he went out by himself without me.The sword attendant at the time said that the master went to the Western Regions to visit a friend in Loulan, but I was still wondering, when did the master know someone from Loulan?

Thinking about it now, he might have gone looking for Danzhu on purpose.

That is to say, since then, every time he leaves Shushan, he will definitely bring back a new sword.Behind Danzhu are Yingluo and Baili, followed by Pojun, Jiaoling and so on.It was also during that time that the master first started to neglect me and rarely took me out again.

Before that, the owner only had one sword for me, and I didn't show any interest in other swords. Why did I suddenly start collecting so many swords?

I always feel like I've overlooked something important...

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Danzhu exhaled a long breath, stood up, and seemed to be planning to end this short conversation, "No third person will know what we said today. But I have a hunch that if you don't stop If so, sooner or later you will push yourself into a corner..." I looked down at the ground, where a group of ants were working hard to carry the melon seeds I just hung on the ground.They who are busy and working hard don't know that as long as I run over them, they will be smashed to pieces, and they don't even know how they died.

Now I have such an inexplicable fear.

After nightfall, I used an excuse to go to Liushuang Palace to find a nymphomaniac to drink and left Jiange again, hiding in the dead courtyard where Duan Lu lived.My movements are so light that even a vigilant wild cat cannot detect them.Sneaked into a room at random, sniffed the breath of those sleeping disciples.The breath was long and long, these disciples were in a deep sleep, even if I patted their cheeks, there was no response.

If it's just one or two people, it's fine, there are several rooms, and the people in each room are like this.

This is absolutely not normal.

Even if a normal person is sleeping soundly, it won't be as deep as a dead person, right?

Finally, I came to the Sanjin courtyard, in front of which was the dormitory of Duan Lu, the oldest disciple in this courtyard, and several other disciples.When I approached the window, I heard voices inside.

"His Majesty the Demon Emperor wants us not to act rashly..."

"But His Royal Highness the Fox King is coming soon, is it true that he just does nothing like this?"

"How can we guess His Majesty's mind, let's obey orders for now."

Of these two voices, one of them I can confirm is Duan Lu, and the other seems to be a disciple.

In this way, Master Langya's guess about the painting skin technique is confirmed...
