Chapter 41 Rewards
Chapter 41 Rewards
Surrounded by his apprentices, Meng Yijue gently closed his eyes.
With them, the body is not cold, and the heart is warm.
He suddenly felt that staying in this world for more than a year, accompanied by everyone, was actually not that hard.
Meng Yijue leaned his neck back a little, looked at Ling Yuan and joked, "Then you have to keep your word. You are the worst among the master's apprentices. If you want to save the master from suffering, you have to be obedient." .”
Ling Yuan leaned over and pecked at the soft long hair on the back of his head, "Master, I know." Suddenly, his body shook slightly.
Meng Yijue noticed it keenly, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Yuan's face turned pale, and a trace of blood slowly seeped from the corner of her mouth.He raised his hand and flicked it lightly, "It's okay. I'm too tired from fighting, and I've consumed a lot."
Meng Yijue felt distressed, so he quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully for Ling Yuan.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of black marks on Ling Yuan's raised left forearm.
He has learned runes for a long time, so he is very sensitive to patterns such as spells and spells.Just now he accidentally glanced at it, and he always felt that the pattern on Ling Yuan's forearm was a bit like some kind of forbidden technique.
Cultivators can draw spells on the ground, in the air, or on their own bodies when they lack talisman paper.
Thinking of this, Meng Yijue was taken aback.
However, when he looked over again, the boy had already pulled down his cuffs without any trace, looked at him with a nonchalant smile and smiled, hugged him gently, and put his chin in the socket of his shoulder.
"Master, I'm fine."
Meng Yijue nodded in a daze.Feeling the young man's powerful body embracing him, he felt full of peace of mind.
But at an angle that the master couldn't see, Ling Yuan lowered her eyes and looked at her left arm.
In this matter, he did conceal something from Master.
When the battle just started and the puppet group approached, he marked Zhong Wei's puppet body with water bubbles.
Zhong Wei was just an ordinary inner disciple with weak strength.Lingyuan's water bubbles are not only for tracking Zhong Wei's whereabouts in the melee, but also for protecting Zhong Wei in the battle, leaving behind for possible accidents.
Sure enough, not long after the start of the battle, Zhong Wei's puppet was broken by other cultivators of the sect during the battle.
After the puppet is broken, the remnant soul in it will disappear immediately.
But at this time, the bubble left by Ling Yuan played a role, successfully gathered Zhong Wei's remnant soul in time, fixed it in the bubble, and left the last chance for Master to be rehabilitated.
After the battle, Ling Yuan immediately called back the water bubble.
Since he devoured the magic pill of the previous Nether King and received its memory, he also saw how to use the "Returning Soul Curse" from the memory of the Nether King.
The soul-returning spell is a forbidden technique, and it is very difficult and dangerous to use.
And the most important thing is that this kind of resurrection spell is extremely harmful to Yin, and there is a risk of backlashing the user's soul.
The body of the new king of Nether is full of ghost energy. After casting the soul-returning spell, his own soul will still be torn apart.
But Shui Lingyuan had no other choice.
Holding Zhong Wei's remnant soul in his hand, he knew that there was only one chance.If I miss this time, the day of Master's redress will be far away.
He no longer wants to see his master being bullied and living a life of humiliation.
When others didn't notice, he did not hesitate to imitate the Nether King's method and launched the soul-returning spell. Using the remains of the Nether tribe and the remnant souls in the water bubbles, he successfully remade Zhong Wei's puppet, allowing Zhong Wei Hao Yuezong told the truth in front of everyone.
All this happened without Meng Yijue's knowledge.
If Master knew about this matter, he would definitely be so distressed that he would teach him a lesson.
Ling Yuan hugged her master tightly and lowered her eyes.
Sorry, Master, I lied to you again and did something dangerous.
However, "No matter what method I use, I will protect Master!" The young man suddenly said harshly.
Meng Yijue didn't know the cause and effect of this sentence.At this time, when he heard the imposing sentence, he thought it was a child who had no place to express his ambition after winning the battle, so he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, my dumpling is the best. Don't talk too much now, okay Rest, dear."
The young man lay beside the master's ear and sighed deeply.
What his master didn't know was how much hardship and secret love were carried in this sentence that sounded so youthful and ridiculous.
Ling Yuan suddenly trembled slightly, and her whole body glowed.
Meng Yijue blinked, watching the boy who was hugging him a moment ago quickly shrink down, getting smaller and smaller. In the end, there was only a round and crystal water ball holding his ankle in a daze.
"Pfft..."
Seeing that the younger brother who had just said the declaration of protection in a deep voice suddenly turned back into a dumpling, and the small one grabbed the master's calf and spit bubbles, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family couldn't help laughing through their tears.
Qing Xi picked up the water dumpling and poked its bulging face, "Our junior brother killed demons today, and it's been hard work."
As if thinking of something, Qingyang stretched his hand towards the water bottle on his waist, "By the way, Junior Brother doesn't seem to drink much water today?" He opened the water bottle and shook it in front of Tuanzi, "Junior Brother, do you want to drink water?"
Shui Tuanzi snorted, and immediately opened his mouth wide.
Qingyang laughed, holding the water bottle with both hands, pouring water into Tuanzi's mouth.
Gudong Gudong, Shui Tuanzi bulged his mouth, drinking very happily, and the small pointed tail protruding from the back of his round body swayed from side to side.
Meng Yi felt playful, and grabbed the tail of the dumpling with his fingertips, but the thing was slippery, like jelly in his hand, and he couldn't hold it firmly.
After drinking the water, Shui Tuanzi squirmed nimbly and slid back into Meng Yijue's arms.Belly up, eyes closed, and fell asleep.
The master and apprentice walked in the direction of going home, laughing and laughing.
Halfway along the road, Qingyang, who was walking in the front, suddenly saw a tall, thin, motionless figure standing at the end of the road.
He was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, "Shui Yingying?"
The girl nodded.
"Where did you go before? I didn't see you during the war, so I thought you had left." Seeing her standing there timidly, Qingyang tentatively reached out to her, "What are you going to do now, come with us Let's go back?"
Shui Yingying's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "Go back...where?"
Qingyang was taken aback, and pointed in the direction of Haoyuezong, "Back to Haoyuezong, our sect, our... home, is also Lingyuan's home."
Meng Yijue followed from behind, and seeing the girl standing alone by the road, he unconsciously said softly, "Yingying, if you have nowhere to go, would you consider coming to Zongmen, Lingyuan and all of us to live together? "
He knew that the water demon clan was completely wiped out, and Shui Yingying would not be able to survive if she stayed alone in the Demon Realm, so he might as well go back to the fairy gate with them.
Shui Yingying looked at the sleeping ball in his arms, and then at Meng Yijue's clear black eyes, as if hesitating.
Qingxi stepped forward and held her hand generously, "Sister Yingying, come back with us, besides Junior Brother Lingyuan, there are many demon cultivators and devil cultivators in Haoyuezong, everyone can get along harmoniously."
Seeing everyone looking at her sincerely, Shui Yingying finally grinned and said thank you softly.
After returning to Haoyuezong with the main force, Meng Yijue went straight to Zhulinyuan with the dumpling in his arms, washed up in a hurry, went into the house and fell asleep.
Thinking about it, he was too tired, and this sleep lasted for a day and a night.
Seeing him working hard, the disciples also kept silent and let the master rest in the room.
When I woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day.Meng Yijue turned over from under the quilt in a daze, feeling soft under his body, as if sleeping in cotton candy.He unconsciously reached out to touch it, and unexpectedly encountered a slippery mass.
Surprised, he pulled it out whole, "Tuanzi?!"
"Gudu..."
Shui Tuanzi blinked in a daze, and made a bubble.
Probably because it has been placed under Meng Yijue's back for a long time, its bulging body has spread out into a pancake.
Meng Yijue got up from the bed, and kneaded the cake-shaped water ball a few times to make it slowly return to its original shape.
Slowly kneading it into a round shape like kneading dough, he flicked its jelly face reproachfully: "Silly boy, Master fell asleep and crushed you, why don't you know how to make a sound."
Tuanzi chuckled, and closed his eyes to enjoy Master's morning massage.
After successive battles with two Nether Kings, the water dumpling was consumed too much, and the growing body hadn't adapted yet.In the past day and night, it was also immersed in a dreamland and slept for a long time.
Meng Yijue in his sleep is extremely dishonest.
He tossed and turned in the bed, curled up in various positions, and even turned the ball over and over.For a while it was buried in his bosom as a pillow, and for a while it was placed under his shoulders and neck, immersed in the soft softness, he slept soundly.
However, the water ball was not angry at all.Its jelly-like body can withstand arbitrary stretching, and it is more comfortable for Master to hold it than anyone else. If it accidentally pushes it away when turning over, it will pout and wriggle back into Master's arms.
After kneading back to the original shape, Shui Tuanzi and the master stretched their arms together and stretched in unison on the couch.
While stretching his body, Shui Tuanzi squinted at the master secretly.
The master just woke up, his sleepy eyes were still hazy, and there were drops of water hanging on his long eyelashes.His face was flushed red as if dyed with a layer of bright red, and he liked it very much.
When Meng Yijue put on his clothes, Tuanzi climbed up to Master's shoulders, grabbed some strands of Master's long hair, and began to braid him.
Tuanzi is obsessed with Shizun's long hair, because Shizun's hair is so thick and soft, it seems like a waste not to do something on it.
It fiddled with its two little claws flexibly.Not long after, Meng Yijue had two thin braids in his long straight hair on the left and right.
With a new hairstyle, Shizun looks a bit exotic.
Tuanzi rolled his eyes and played with the master's long hair in his little claws, scratching his heart.
"By the way." Meng Yijue remembered, "Lingyuan, your sister Yingying also came back to the sect with us. Qingyang arranged for her to live in the empty room next door. Do you want to go and see her?"
The water dumpling slipped to the ground and slowly condensed into a human form. "Um."
After dressing and washing, Meng Yijue and Ling Yuan went out.
There is smoke from the stove, accompanied by the sweet smell of food.
As they approached, the chatter and laughter in the room gradually became clearer.
Meng Yijue poked his head inside and saw Qingyang cooking a pot of porridge over the stove, and the one talking and giggling with him was not the expected Qingxi, but the shy Shui Yingying.
Hearing the movement, the two looked over, Yingying quickly stopped laughing, and stood up cautiously: "Meng Daoist."
"Yingying is welcome, just treat this as your home." Meng Yijue waved his hand casually and asked her to sit down, "And don't call Meng Daochang, it looks unfamiliar. If you don't mind, call Meng Ge, or Yijue Brother, whatever you want."
He is nineteen years old, he is not much older than Qingyang Qingxi, and the age gap with Yingying is even smaller, so it should be appropriate for her to call him brother.
Glancing at Qingyang again, "You chatted well with her."
Meng Yijue said it casually, but Qingyang's ears were really red, he laughed and said: "Master, I don't think she always laughs, tell her jokes."
It happened that the porridge was almost done at this time, Yingying smiled, and said a little nervously, "Brother Yijue, Lingyuan, the fresh fish porridge is ready. You have been sleeping for a whole day, you must be very hungry. "
She got up and took out two bowls, and helped Meng Yijue and Ling Yuan refill a bowl full of porridge.
Meng Yijue took the bowl and looked inside, "Hey, let's have an extra meal today."
Usually they live in poverty, and they only have green vegetable porridge to eat every morning.Today, the porridge is filled with a lot of things, such as fresh fish, fungus, beef balls, shrimps, and a few herbs...
"Our Bamboo Forest Garden is rich! We won't have to worry about food in the future, Master can eat whatever he wants." Qingyang smiled mysteriously, "During the time Master is sleeping, the situation outside has changed a lot!"
Meng Yijue heard that he had a lot of surprises to shake, so he hurriedly urged several people to sit around on the stone table outside with porridge and eat, chatting while eating.
After sitting down, he suddenly remembered that there were still people not coming, and looked around, "Hey, where is Qingxi?"
Qingyang replied: "Qingxi has gone down the mountain, and she may return soon. Immortal Ziyun wrote early in the morning, asking us to go to the Wisteria Garden to collect the post-war rewards."
Meng Yijue was taken aback, "Get the supplies so soon?"
The so-called post-war supplies are actually compensations given by the sect to the participants after the battle.
According to Hao Yuezong's regulations, after each large-scale war, the Zongmen's finance department will make an overall statistics of the consumption of weapons, herbs, and exotic animals in each line, and then finely distribute the spoils collected from the enemy.
After the liquidation is completed, the post-war supplies will be distributed one by one to the main peaks of each vein, and each master will distribute them to each practitioner under his sect.
This is a complex and lengthy process that takes a considerable amount of time.
According to past experience, it takes seven days at the fastest to get the supplies, but this time they only finished the battle in two days, how did the reward supplies arrive so quickly?
"Actually, the aftermath of the Zongmen has not been finished yet. This batch of post-war supplies was directly distributed to our Zhulinyuan by Master Ziyun." Qingyang explained, "This time, Master and Junior Brother Lingyuan are the main contributors to the fight against King Nether. , naturally the first reward. And..."
He lowered his voice, "Master, I speculate that Master Ziyun sent our supplies so quickly, which may have something to do with An Jinhua's incident. All the things he sent are pretty good, and the quantity is also large. A full 6000 yuan."
Meng also felt it.
This batch of generous supplies may actually be the personal statement of Zhenren Ziyun.Perhaps after the truth was revealed, Ziyun felt that she owed everyone in Zhulinyuan and wanted to make up for the damage she had suffered.
Qingyang was in a good mood, and happily talked about the two days' events: "The sect's actions are really fast. After we came back, Yuexuanzun personally went to the Interrogation Division to interrogate An Jinhua. An Jinhua didn't quibble anymore. Everything will be explained soon. I heard from Senior Sister Yun that the higher-ups will come up with punishment measures in the next two days, whether it is killing or cutting, the result will be sentenced soon."
Meng Yijue lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.
Killing for life is justified.
An Jinhua held Zhong Wei's innocent life in his hands, and almost all the sufferings Meng Yijue and the original owner had suffered in the past two years were thanks to him.
Two years ago, Meng Yijue's original body was framed by An Jinhua. At that time, although the entire Haoyue Sect believed that Meng Yijue was the villain in the story, there was no physical evidence. In addition, Meng Yijue had lost his inner alchemy. The Trial Division was not used to continue punishing him.
But this time the situation is different.An Jinhua's crimes are bad and the evidence is sufficient, and he himself admitted it himself.After the investigation by the Judicial Division, he himself may not escape heavy punishment.
The result is undecided, and Meng Yijue doesn't bother to think about it.Anyway, Yuexuanzun personally supervised the case, and the mad Zhong Heng stared at him relentlessly. Even if An Jinhua didn't die, his fate would be no better than death.
After breakfast, Meng Yijue followed Qingyang to the warehouse to count the supplies newly sent by Immortal Ziyun.
The 6000 yuan spirit stones were neatly stacked in the wooden box. In addition, there were two baskets of herbs, twelve volumes of high-quality talisman books, and several magic weapons. There were many mid-level or even high-end goods inside.
Qingyang pointed to a small cluster of shining flowers, with a smile in his eyes that he couldn't hide: "Master, look, this is a shining flower, but it is a rare thing worth thousands of gold, and it is very healthy. Wait until the sun comes out." , I will dry it and grind it into powder to use as medicine, and cook a pot of medicine soup for Master to make up for it."
Meng Yijue rubbed his head with a smile, "You have a heart. By the way, do you still want to go to the fairy doctor?"
Qingyang replied: "In the past two days, the medical center has been full of wounded from the Nether War. The manpower is very short. The fairy doctor also said that I should go there to help. I planned to discuss it with you when you woke up..."
Meng Yijue said: "As long as there is nothing wrong here, you can go to the fairy doctor at any time. He intends to train you, so you should seize the opportunity."
Qingyang let out an "hey" and responded crisply.
The two put the supplies back in place when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
Meng Yijue frowned, thinking that he was hallucinating - why did he seem to hear the howling of some kind of beast?
Pushing the door out of the house, I saw a pile of new supplies in the originally empty bamboo forest garden - namely, the screaming alien beast and the round alien beast egg.
"This is……?"
Meng Yijue was taken aback when he saw the last tall strange beast slowly walk into the small courtyard.Qing Xi jumped off the beast's back and walked in beaming.
"Master! These are the post-war supplies that Master Ziyun gave us in Zhulinyuan. They are so rich!" She pointed to the pile of beasts and eggs, "There are one contracted beast of third rank and two of fourth rank. There are five alien beast eggs."
Meng Yijue was speechless.
The middle-level quality alien beasts, together with the spiritual stone artifacts in the previous warehouse, I am afraid that Master Ziyun has moved out all the savings of Zifeng Mountain in recent months.
This time Wisteria Court really spent a lot of money, piles of high-quality supplies were sent to Zhulin Garden, it seems that Master Ziyun really tried his best to make up for him.
Moreover, this pile of gifts also contains a deeper meaning, that is, this uncle has officially accepted him as Zifeng Mountain's own person, and he will try his best to win his forgiveness at all costs.
But since the other party was willing to bring something, Meng Yijue readily accepted it.This material is rich, but it can't cover the suffering he has suffered in the past year.
Everything he lost before will be slowly and fully recovered from now on.
