Seeing that Wen Hun really ran away, Su Li didn't chase him. She picked up the book that Wen Hun read just now and opened it. It turned out to be a Strange Essays, which had nothing to do with cultivation.
"Although Wen Hun and He Jiu are good to me, and the attitude of the disciples of the Sect is also kind, I always feel that the Sect … lacks something."
Su Li opened a page of essays and saw an illustration scribbled on it. It was a barren deep mountain with a thatched hut standing alone.
"Is it vitality?"
Su Li read the essays thoughtfully.
The essays were composed of many stories, and each story was quite scary. The first story was about the thatched hut.
The scholar went to the capital city for the examination and passed through the barren mountain. After entering the mountain, it rained cats and dogs. He had no place to rest. Suddenly, he saw a light in the distant deep mountain. He was overjoyed and ran to the hut to knock on the door regardless of the mud under his feet.
Squeak —
The door was opened a little, and a beautiful face of a woman appeared. Except for the face, everything else was immersed in the darkness.
"Husband, come in quickly to take shelter from the rain …"
Seeing that she was alone, the scholar immediately waved his hand and said, "It's really inappropriate for you and me to live alone in this deep mountain."
"Husband, come in quickly to take shelter from the rain …"
The woman's face was very stiff, and only her lips were moving, as if she could only say this sentence. The scholar felt a little strange, but he saw that the book box behind him had leaked the rain. He didn't care so much, and pushed the door and walked in …
Su Li turned the next page, but it was blank.
She was slightly stunned, and continued to turn the page. It was the next story. She turned it again, but it was also blank at the end. There was no ending.
"A story without an ending?"
Su Li pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Junior Sister Apprentice, it's late. You should go back to have a rest."
Her pupils shrank, and she jumped away like a frightened rabbit. The book in her hand was also thrown out, but was caught by the person who spoke.
Wen Hun turned around with a smile. The candlelight flickered, and could only illuminate his face.
"Junior Sister Apprentice, it's late. You should go back to have a rest."
"Senior Fellow Apprentice …"
Su Li called, and felt very strange. With her perception, she didn't find that Wen Hun had returned.
"Junior Sister, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
When the voice sounded for the third time, Su Li was shocked. Looking at Wen Hun's stiff and pale face like a dead man, she immediately thought of the strange story in the barren mountain she just read.
Ghosts really exist in this world?
But if there was, then what was she?
Her mind was filled with doubts. Suddenly, she sensed an instinctive thought from the evil ghost.
"Hungry …"
Hungry?
Su Li stared at "Wen Hun" with a stiff smile. It turned out that this thing was for eating?
She abruptly turned her gaze and looked at the huge library. Different from the day, the library seemed to have lost its color at night. It was so quiet that even the croaking of frogs and insects outside the door could not be heard.
How much food is there?
As she turned her gaze away, she didn't see her senior's face suddenly split open from the middle, revealing rows of densely packed teeth.
"Wen Hun" also didn't see that the shadow behind Su Li suddenly moved to his feet and opened its bloody mouth quietly …
"Junior Sister Apprentice!!"
An anxious voice traveled into the library through the gloomy sky. There was a strange vibration in the voice, and under this vibration, the library regained its lively colors. The oppressive atmosphere immediately faded, and various sounds poured into the ears once more.
She looked up at the outside of the attic. It turned out to be evening.
Wen Hun waved his hand nervously in front of Su Li. Seeing her eyes full of doubts, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He came just in time.
If the junior sister apprentice was harmed by the ghosts here because of his negligence, his Taoist Heart would inevitably have flaws and turn into an evil thought.
"Hey, Senior Fellow Apprentice? Didn't you say it was late? Why is it only evening? "
Su Li pointed to the Jinwu hanging in the sky outside the window, and began to test straightforwardly and straightforwardly.
Wen Hun looked serious. He glanced at the library which became gloomy because of Su Li's words, and took Su Li away without saying anything. Until they returned to the courtyard where the personal disciples lived, he let go of Su Li's hand and faintly breathed a sigh of relief. He warned seriously, "Little Junior Sister Apprentice, if I don't accompany you, don't go to the library alone."
Su Li touched her palm. The touch just now … was very cold, not like the hand of a living person.
Wen Hun's face suddenly became hot. He hadn't held a woman's hand before. In a hurry just now …
Fortunately, Su Li didn't care. She just blinked and said, "Why?"
Seeing the little junior sister apprentice was determined to get to the bottom of it, Wen Hun remembered the Master's entrustment in his heart. He wanted to say something several times but stopped on second thought. Finally, he couldn't help saying, "Our Immortal Cultivation Sect is not as simple as it seems. Don't ask so much. Practice hard, and you will know it later. There are several dangerous places in the Sect. Even I don't dare to go there at night. I will mark them for you. You should remember them! "
As he said, he took out a blank piece of rice paper and grabbed a writing brush …
Su Li stood quietly aside and stared at the bird's eye view of the Sect that slowly appeared under Wen Hun's pen.
As expected, this scene fell into He Jiu's eyes.
"Wen Hun trusts people too easily."
In the dark hall, He Jiu's face full of age spots showed a trace of helplessness, "However, it may be a chance for him to transform."
He accepted Su Yue as a personal disciple. Firstly, he wanted to give an explanation to Ni Sect and maintain the superficial image. Secondly … he wanted to test whether Su Yue was real.
If this woman was really a spy of Ni Sect in disguise, he could pretend for a while, but he couldn't maintain the illusion all the time.
After observing for a few days, he didn't think there was any big problem.
At least, this girl was indeed the little girl named Su Yue. Her bone age was also very young. She was simple and straightforward. As for whether she had been played any tricks by Ni Sect, he couldn't see it in a short time.
In the following days, Su Li obediently followed Wen Hun's words every day and practiced seriously.
She also learned the authentic mental method of Immortal Cultivation Sect — Immortal Cultivation Tactics under the guidance of Wen Hun.
She didn't do anything out of line. After all, the Sect was full of weirdness. It was hard to guarantee that He Jiu would have a way of prying that she couldn't detect.
There were still nine years before the ten-year period. She still had enough time, so she didn't need to rush at this time.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, it was finally the time to receive the monthly salary.
Su Li followed Wen Hun and came to the only large square of Immortal Cultivation Sect. At this moment, there were hundreds of disciples standing sparsely in the square. It looked very deserted in the large square, which seemed to reflect the decline of Immortal Cultivation Sect.
A woman in black whom Su Li had never seen stood in front of the long stone table with a cold look and stood silently. On the long stone table, there were hundreds of wooden boxes, each of which was half a meter long and wide.
Seeing Wen Hun coming over, she showed a kind smile on her face. But in Su Li's eyes, it was a little ferocious.
"Well, everyone is here. Yue, give out the monthly salary. "
He Jiu stooped and stepped forward.
The woman in black showed respect on her face and nodded slightly. She waved her hand and scattered hundreds of wooden boxes on the table. Every wooden box fell into the hands of every disciple accurately, including Su Li.
She took the wooden box floating in front of her, and her hands suddenly sank.
The things in it weighed at least a hundred kilograms. For the sake of prudence, she didn't use her divine awareness to check.
"So many!"
"The amount of this month is so enough!"
"I can finally eat my fill. I'm so happy …"
The disciples in the square said joyfully, which made Su Li feel more and more strange. But she didn't ask more because of the occasion.
"This month's salary is brought by your Senior Sister Apprentice Yue. Thank her quickly."
After He Jiu spoke, everyone immediately came to their senses and saluted to the woman in black.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Apprentice Yue!"
The woman in black still looked cold. She just nodded slightly and glanced at He Jiu. After getting his consent, she turned around and disappeared into the mountain.
"Senior Sister Apprentice Yue is …"
Su Li couldn't help but transmit the sound to Wen Hun. Although the young man felt it was wrong to whisper under the nose of the Master, he still replied, "She is an elder of our Sect. She usually practices in the deep mountain. As for the title of Senior Sister Apprentice, it is requested by Senior Sister Apprentice Yue. She is still young and doesn't want to be called old."
Su Li was about to ask something else, but He Jiu's voice suddenly interrupted her.
"It's not easy for our Immortal Cultivation Sect to persist from ancient times to today."
He Jiu walked to the stone table and looked at the disciples below. His kind face was a little more dignified, "Now the inheritance of the Sect is broken, and there are only the first three hurdles of the Immortal Cultivation Tactics. The highest level is Yuanying Realm. You have to explore by yourself. It's fate for you to join our Sect. The Sect can't provide you with a place for cultivation, so it's fate but not fate. If anyone wants to leave the Sect today, I will never blame you. Now … if you want to go down the mountain to find another chance, come out. "
As He Jiu said, a pair of turbid eyes suddenly fell on several people in the field.
Those people immediately sighed and stood up unwillingly. They then bowed to He Jiu and took their leave. There were even some who were reluctant to leave. They wiped their tears as they walked down the mountain.
Su Li was confused. She could see that these people didn't want to leave the Immortal Cultivation Sect at all. If He Jiu didn't call them out, they would definitely not stand out.
What was worth staying in this Immortal Cultivation Sect?
Could it be as He Jiu said, that it was true love?
With all kinds of doubts in her heart, Su Li returned to her residence. She opened the wooden box and saw the fresh meat with blood in it. Then she was lost in thought.
A piece of meat?
"No wonder some people say that they can eat their fill."
Su Li suddenly understood and felt it was absurd. She had never seen such a weird Sect.
What was worth staying in a Sect that couldn't even eat their fill?
"Little Junior Sister Apprentice, are you there?"
Wen Hun's voice came from outside the yard. Su Li happened to be confused, so she dragged him into the house without saying anything.
"I know you are confused now. I was the same when I first came here."
Wen Hun looked at Su Li with a smile.
"Little Junior Sister Apprentice, how long have you not eaten?"
