Master from the Lunatic Asylum [Transmigration Book]

After leaving the second peak, Shi Gu did not go back to Sixteen Peaks, but turned around and went to a small hill.

This hilltop is located on the outskirts of Cangyun Sect, it is extremely remote, often there is not a single person seen for ten days and half a month, but right now, there is a person standing there quietly, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

Sensing Shi Gu's approach, the man hastily turned around and bowed to Shi Gu with a junior salute: "Elder Shi."

Shi Gu nodded slightly, and looked curiously at the person in front of him.

But I saw that this person was dressed in a blue inner disciple's costume, his movements were correct, his eyes were serious, his long hair was combed meticulously on the top of his head, even the hair crown was more correct than others, but his face was bruised, and he walked with a limp It makes him look awkward and funny.

"What's wrong with you?" Shigu asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Qingyuan showed a wry smile on his face.

"Qingyuan is incompetent, and he failed to protect the juniors when he went to Qinghezong this time, so he was... punished by the master."

The time is clear.

Qing Yuan's master is Yuan Ce.

No wonder he was beaten so badly.

"Speaking of which, Elder Shi made an appointment to meet with disciples this time, but what's the matter?"

Qingyuan said, revealing a slightly puzzled look.

Is there any shameful thing that needs to be met in private?

There was a pause.

Afterwards, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qing Yuan.

"I want to ask you...to help me with a medicine."

Qingyuan was taken aback.

On paper... is a prescription.

His mood suddenly became a little complicated.

The other disciples may not know it, but at the beginning of Shigu's illness, when he muttered about taking medicine, Qingyuan was always there.

Because of this, he was very sure that there must be something wrong with Shi Gu's body.

But he didn't dare to ask about this kind of thing if he didn't talk about it from time to time.

To be honest, after the Qinghezong raid, Qingyuan also thought for a long time about his past attitude towards Shigu.

And the final conclusion is: Although there is no deliberate oppression, it is definitely not good.

But he never expected that Shigu would ask him for help.

As we all know, the more powerful the seniors are, the more secretive they are about their own weaknesses.

Even for those with a more ruthless personality, Qing Yuan felt that it would not be too much for Shi Gu to kill him to silence him.

This is not just a kind of help, but also a kind of trust.

So he put away the prescription carefully, and saluted Shi Gu seriously, and said sincerely: "Elder Shi, don't worry, Qingyuan will definitely not disappoint your trust."

When he heard the word "trust", Shi Gu's eyes moved slightly, and he took a look at Qing Yuan.

But soon, he hung down again, showing no emotion on the surface.

What Qingyuan didn't know was that, at some point, a mark appeared on the back of his neck.

It was an extremely small imprint, which fell on the joint between the side of the neck and the back shoulder, very concealed.

If there were other people here, they would be able to recognize it. It was a partial technique, the silent curse, taught by the Ninth Elder Xu Shanxian during the unified lecture in the preaching hall some time ago.

But generally speaking, this spell can only be effective when facing mortals, and it will not leave any traces at all when it is used on monks.

But the one on the back of Qingyuan's neck is extremely black and deep.

……

After bidding farewell to Qingyuan, who was moved by himself, Shi Gu still did not return to Sixteen Peaks, but went to Jinshi Peak.

Jinshi Peak is the place where disciples of each peak teach collectively, and it is also a place to receive daily tasks and receive daily necessities.

I'm ashamed to say that I came here because I came...to receive the monthly salary of the elders.

In the past, Shigu stayed on the mountain all day long and didn't need any other expenses except food, but it's different now.

He couldn't let Qingyuan pay for his medicine by himself.

There were not many people at Jinshi Peak today, so after wandering around for a long time, I finally found the place responsible for distributing the monthly salary, and received my monthly salary fairly smoothly.

It's just that in the process of receiving it, I received countless strange looks.

So after a lapse of one month, Shigu once again heard the familiar whispers.

"Damn it, it's the first time in my life that I've met an elder on a monthly salary."

"It's hard to say about other elders, but it's normal for Shi Elder."

"Isn't it? After all, he has no assets of his own."

Putting the received monthly salary into the Qiankun bag, Shigu ignored those people's gossip, but patted the bag lightly.

——This Qiankun bag was given to him by Yu Zhan before. It is pure white with gold rims. It is very beautiful, and Shigu likes it very much.

"Hey? Have you heard? This year's sect competition has changed the rules, and the elders have to participate."

"What else?! Is it true?"

"Wouldn't the elder be..."

The crowd either gloated or looked suspiciously at Shi Gu.

"What's the matter, is it embarrassing for our Cangyun sect?"

"Fuck, forget about this one."

Shi Gu was also a little surprised.

He only knew that disciples needed to compete on stage, but no one told him that elders also needed to.

After thinking for a while, Shi Gu decided to go back to Sixteen Peaks and ask Fan Hongyin for a question.

Soon, Sixteen Peaks arrived.

Unexpectedly, before he could find Fan Hongyin, the news came over by himself.

Looking at the handbook sent by a disciple in his hand, with exquisite materials and exquisite appearance, Shigu was silent.

The elders are actually forced to participate...

Pursing his lips, he felt a little headache.

But the headache was a headache, so Shi Gu found a smooth stone in a shaded place, sat down cross-legged, and looked at it quietly.

The noon sun is always hot and strong, but the position where Shi Gu sits is breezy and comfortable.

I don't know why, but I'm always not very sensitive to things like words. When I look at them, I feel blurred and sleepy.

After almost falling asleep for an unknown number of times, Shi Gu stretched a little and barely regained his energy. Then, holding his chin, he forced himself to read the rules in the manual in his hand.

What he didn't know was that in the bamboo house not far away, there was also a man sitting by the window, with his face on his hands, staring from a distance.

The sect competition is one of the most watched events in Jiucheng Market for hundreds of years. It is held every four years. The venue is held by the four major sects in turn. All monks belonging to the four major sects and their affiliated sects can participate. At the same time, it is also the best time for talented disciples of various sects to emerge.

This sect competition is divided into three rounds, each round has a different competition method, and the duration of each round is ten days, a total of one month.

Among them, those who achieve outstanding results in each round can not only get generous prizes, but also get the opportunity to go to the Jiusheng Tianzun Seat to dive for half a month, which can be called a supreme honor.

Among the three rounds of competition, the first round consists of all participating monks being randomly divided into groups, drawing numbers to select opponents, competing round by round, and eliminating round by round. This is the most intense, common, and most concerned part of the sectary competition .

The second round is grouped according to age, divided into five groups: under 50 years old, under [-] years old, under [-] years old, under [-] years old, and under [-] years old, and they will compete separately in order to select the best Genius disciple.

The third round is divided according to the attributes of monks, such as sword repair group, knife repair group, instrument repair group, formation repair group, medicine repair group, and so on.

Among them, the compulsory participation of the elders of the sect is the second round, which is based on age.

The idea is a very good one. After all, when one is over two hundred years old, there are very few disciples. The reason why such a rule is added is to let the disciples see the strength of the elders and encourage everyone to practice.

Of course, the elders who are compulsory to participate do not include the elderly elders over five hundred years old, the head elders and the elders who are too high.

Shi Gu looked at the writing in his hand and fell into deep thought.

……

The Cangyun Sect became lively visibly with the naked eye.

There is no other reason, three days later, it will be the day when the sect competition will start.

The mountain peaks that were a little empty in the past are now filled with many elder disciples from the affiliated sects of Cangyun Sect. While the atmosphere is extremely lively, it also greatly increases the psychological pressure of everyone, and they all start to strengthen their cultivation nervously. The martial arts arenas of each peak are also crowded with disciples who have competed in various competitions and are familiar with the venues.

Everyone held their breath, not only because they wanted to win a good ranking for themselves, but also because this year's sect competition was extremely important to Cangyunzong.

Six years ago, Qinghe Sect successively poached Ye Xun, the elder of the third peak of Cangyun Sect, and Zhai Bin, the elder of the fifth peak. It directly led to the loss of a large number of outstanding disciples of Cangyun Sect.

Because of this, in the sect competition four years ago, Cangyun Sect lost so badly that it was even the laughing stock of the other sects for a long time.

And this time is undoubtedly the best time for them to regain their breath.

But when everyone was nervous about practicing, Shi Gu stayed leisurely with Yu Zhan at Sixteen Peaks, learning simple spells one after another.

In fact, it stands to reason that the Sixteen Peaks should also be requisitioned as one of the venues for the Grand Competition, but it's a pity that the place is so barren, there is not even a decent martial arts arena, and it will be nothing in the end.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t need to be expropriated, Shi Gu and Yu Zhan are happy to be at leisure. The only fly in the ointment is that due to the recent increase in the number of outsiders from the Cangyun Sect, some figures have appeared near the usually deserted Sixteen Peaks, which is more or less an eyesore. .

Fortunately, these people generally don't come to the mountains, so they won't affect the two of them.

However, Yu Zhan has been a little irritable recently.

Shi Gu also had to compete on stage, he just heard Fan Hongyin talk about it yesterday, when he said it, he added fuel and vinegar, and he talked nonsense about the possible fate of Shi Gu. Finally couldn't help it, rewarded Fan Hongyin with kicks and kicks, and then angrily drove him out of his bamboo house.

Although he knew in his heart that Fan Hongyin's nonsense was mostly meant as a joke, but Yu Zhan had to admit that he had successfully affected his mood.

So Yu Zhan, who had no idea about this competition and was even a little lazy to participate in it, read the rules carefully, and the more he read, the more he frowned.

Shigu is 210 years old.

Yu Zhan thought.

Two hundred and one, that means he has to compete with people in the range of two hundred to three hundred.

And who is in this range?

Guang Yuzhan knew about the Fourth Elder Yuan Ce, the Sixth Elder Pei Zimo, and the Ninth Elder Xu Shan.

This gap is impossible to catch up even if you flatter a horse.

However, when he got up this morning, Yu Zhan still couldn't bear it, took Shi Gu over, and half-forced him to teach him a few basic spells.

Shigu didn't resist this, and was even quite active in learning. While eating preserved fruit, he pinched a simple water-draining technique to make the flowers and plants on the Sixteen Peaks inside and out. It was poured over and over.

Seeing his diligent appearance, Yu Zhan felt rather uncomfortable.

"Don't be afraid." An awkward voice suddenly sounded from above, Shigu raised his head in doubt, but saw Yu Zhan's troubled face.

This person probably didn't say a few comforting words since he was a child, so occasionally he said something weird, and he didn't even look at it. He just stared straight at the distant stones, as if he could stare at a flower. come out.

"If you really can't beat it, you just admit defeat. In short, I will watch from the audience and won't let you get into trouble."

Shi Gu's hand that pinched the formula stopped.

The grass in front of him swayed slightly, as if he didn't understand why the water source that had been going on just now suddenly disappeared, Shi Gu's gaze fell directly on Yu Zhan, without turning away.

Maybe Yu Zhan himself can't see it, but from the perspective of Shi Gu, everything is clear.

He clearly saw that the back of Yu Zhan's neck was slightly reddish for some reason.

Shi Gu suddenly felt sad.

It was the sweet preserved fruit in his mouth, and he couldn't restrain his sadness.

He couldn't remember how long...he hadn't heard such comforting words.

However, if he knew that he was different from what he imagined...

Shi Gu blinked, feeling strange and sour emotions in his heart.

He is not a lamb.

I thought from time to time.

he is mentally ill...

A few white clouds covered the sun, and sometimes it lowered visibly with the naked eye.

It didn't matter that he was depressed, but Yu Zhan thought that his comfort was counterproductive, and frightened Shi Gu instead.

Yu Zhan frowned.

Hesitation and hesitation, thinking and thinking.

In the end, Yu Zhan put his hand on top of Shi Gu's head.

Then gently and soothingly, rub it.

Shigu turned to look at him.

Yu Zhan looked up at the sky uncomfortably.

The wind blew the hair of the two of them, and they were entangled together, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

Shi Gu suddenly felt that it was not so sad.

So he pursed his lips and rubbed tentatively on Yu Zhan's palm.

The hair is soft, very thin and soft, like a coquettish little animal.

Yu Zhan only felt that his heart softened along with it.

Unfortunately, in the soft summer, there is always someone or something out of season.

"master--!"

A loud shout came from a distance, and Yu Zhan, who was already distracted, trembled in fright, and hurriedly retracted his palm from the top of Shigu's head, staring at Fan Hongyin with anger in his eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Your eyes are so wide." Seeing this, Fan Hongyin covered his chest with a face full of horror.

"You'd better pray, you really have something to ask me."

When he said this, Yu Zhan paused every word, every syllable seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, it was extremely cold.

"Ah, so what." Fan Hongyin looked puzzled, not knowing where he had done something wrong, pointing in the direction of the Cangyun Sect's gate, and said, "Just now a disciple came to report that the eighth elder of the Cangyun Sect had returned after a hundred years of experience. , let everyone go out to greet them."

Hearing this, Yu Zhan immediately "tsk" impatiently.

"I can't help it." Fan Hongyin spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless, "The great sect likes to engage in these formal things."

With a cold snort, Yu Zhan turned around and finally walked down the mountain.

Just walking and walking, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. After all, he couldn't hold back, so he grabbed Fan Hongyin and beat him up.

Fan Hongyin: "..."

How did he provoke this ancestor?

With such doubts, Fan Hongyin painfully clutched his butt that had just been kicked, and turned to look at Shi Gu beside him.

When Shi Gu heard the words, he turned his head quietly and stared at him for a while.

For some reason, Fan Hongyin felt creepy.

Hey, it's an evil door.

He scratched his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

……

All the way without talking, the three of them came to the mountain gate of Cangyunzong together.

At this moment, many people have surrounded the mountain gate. At first glance, they are all human heads, making people want to cut them off.

Shi Gu was taken aback, and quickly threw his inexplicable thought out of his mind, and while eating the preserved fruit, he quietly stuffed half a white tablet into his mouth.

It seems that Qingyuan needs to be urged to find someone to dispense the medicine quickly.

Sometimes I am a little worried.

The medicine on his body can last about half a month at most, and this is based on the fact that he broke a piece of medicine in half.

"Hey, I heard that when the Eighth Elder left, he was still in the early stage of Yuanying, and after only a hundred years of practice, he has already broken through to the state of leaving his body!"

The whispering disciple interrupted Shi Gu's train of thought.

"So powerful? Why have I never seen this elder?"

"You don't know about this. The eighth elder went out to travel a hundred years ago. Not to mention you, most of the disciples present have never seen his real person."

There are countless similar conversations, and it seems that everyone is very curious about this eighth elder.

Shi Gu and Yu Zhan were not impressed by the elder who was about to appear, they just stood aside doing nothing, and went through the motions.

In fact, according to common sense, Shigu should stand at the forefront like the other elders, but after he thought about it, even if he stood in the front, he would only be disgusted by others in vain, and there was no practical significance.

So he chose to hide in the corner with Yu Zhan.

The benefits of a bad reputation came to the fore at this time, at least when the seats next to it were crowded with people, the surroundings of Shi Gu and his group were extremely empty.

Soon, a figure appeared in the sky.

It was a tall and strong man, with resolute facial features, his face was as sharp as a knife, although his complexion was a bit dark, but coupled with his tough and wild appearance, he was inexplicably quite attractive, with the masculinity of a mature man and Junyi.

It's just that for some reason, Shi Gu felt that this person looked familiar.

Yuan Ce was waiting at the mountain gate early in the morning, looking around from time to time, as if he was looking forward to this person's return very much, but because of the elder's face, he couldn't make it too obvious.

But the moment this person appeared, he threw all the face of the elders aside, and Yuan Ce went up to meet him almost immediately, and hugged him fiercely without waiting for the man to land.

"Xiao Heng!"

Yuan Ce's voice carried the joy of reunion after a long absence.

In mid-air, two unusually strong men hugged each other.

Regardless of whether it is hot or not, Shi Gu went through the information in his head first.

Xiao Heng...

Yuan... Heng?
