Chapter 14: The Midnight Phantom
"Steward Du, he's dead, Steward Du?" Hu Daniu and Wang Shan came to Du Fan, and they couldn't help but be startled when they saw his appearance.
At this time, Du Fan's face was pale, without half a bit of blood, his eyes were blank, and he was even more sluggish, his expression was numb, if it weren't for the wooden stick in his hand still shaking up and down, people would think they were looking at a dead person.
"Is it dead? Oh, you can deal with it. Du Fan put down the wooden stick in his hand, but his eyes were still sloppy, and he sat on the ground without saying a word, leaning his back against the tree trunk, calmly making people hairy.
Hu Daniu and Wang Shan have killed people, and they have seen many dead people, but Du Fan at this time made them chill from the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time, they felt even more terrifying.
"Brother Wang, you go to Commander Han to see if there is anything you need help with, and I will talk to Brother Du for a while. ”
"Good!"
After a long time, a terrible scream suddenly came out, echoing in the surrounding sky for a long time, and Du Fan finally appeared on his face and gradually recovered.
......
Half a month later.
"Brother Du, the continuous immortal mountain ten miles ahead is where the Purple Mountain Sect Mountain Gate is located, and it is expected to be reached within half an hour. Hu Daniu spoke loudly, passing by the Black Tiger, and at this time, there was already a touch of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Du Fan.
"That's very good, finish this matter quickly, and get back as soon as possible. It's just Brother Zhang, alas, ......" Du Fan remembered Zhang Yan, a disciple of the Yao family's outer sect who died tragically half a month ago, sighed, and didn't say any more.
Parallel to Du Fan were Hu Daniu and Wang Shan, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but look gloomy.
Half a month ago, Zhang Yan died tragically in the war, and the body was not buried on the spot or sent back to Yao's house for burial, but used a cremation talisman to burn it, this talisman is a pseudo-talisman, not highly aggressive, not very valuable, almost every person who cultivates the truth will carry it with him.
This talisman can be used to light a fire for heating and boiling water for cooking, but its biggest role is to cremate fallen cultivators, because there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world that after the fall of a cultivator, there is no need to bury a grave, and the person who kills it should be cremated on the spot.
Those who cultivate the truth, in order to pursue immortality, have the saying that they practice against the heavens, but in the final analysis, they all change their lives against the heavens, violate the taboos of heaven and earth, and in the end they will not die well. Therefore, the cultivator seeks this life and looks forward to the next life, and after being cremated into ashes, this life and this life will be destroyed and re-enter reincarnation.
On that day, the Yao Jiajia guards were fighting against mortals, they were the elite of the mortal world, so the casualties were minimal, and the military discipline was strict at this time, the queue was neat, and there was no trace of a fight.
Half an hour later, the Yao family and others came to the gate of the Purple Mountain Sect. Standing here and looking forward into the distance, the whole mountain is almost surrounded by clouds and mist, and the pavilions and attics are faintly visible in the fairy mist, with red bricks and yellow tiles, just like a fairyland. Bursts of fragrant breath slowly floated from the mountain, and when you inhaled it, there was a feeling of relaxation and pleasure, and occasionally, there would be a few faint wisps of piano flute sound, with the sound of the waterfall hitting the water, people couldn't help but indulge in it.
"What an immortal sect!" Du Fan thought in his heart.
There are 3,000 disciples of the Purple Mountain Sect, dozens of foundations, and their strength can be called the first of the three major sects of Tianxiang Kingdom. It is rumored that the contemporary ancestor of the Purple Mountain Sect, Master Ziyan, is a powerful person in the Jindan period, and his cultivation is one of the best in the cultivation realm of the Tianxiang Kingdom, and he has the magical power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and has been powerful in the Tianxiang Kingdom for more than 200 years, overpowering the two factions of Thunder Cloud and Qingniu. And as everyone in the Yao family, they are absolutely not qualified to meet this Ziyan Master.
"It turned out to be from the Yao family, and you are one day later than the scheduled date. ”
The majestic mountain gate slowly opened, and a rumbling low sound suddenly came from under the earth, and after it was fully opened, an old man in gray walked out from inside. The old man had a childish face and an arrogant expression, looking at everyone with an expression like an ant.
"Master, we are from the Yao family, and we encountered some trouble on the road a few days ago, so we delayed the time, please ......" Hu Daniu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and bow, explaining.
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, follow me!" The gray-clothed old man's face sank, interrupted Hu Daniu's words, flicked his sleeves, and turned around and walked towards the mountain.
"Yes, Master!" Hu Daniu said respectfully in his heart, beckoning everyone to follow him up the mountain.
After a long hiking trail, a pool of water the size of a thousand feet, and two squares, the group was taken to the pharmacy of the Purple Mountain Sect. During this period, they felt that there were disciples of the Purple Mountain Sect walking around from time to time, due to the attitude of the old man in gray before and the pressure on the name of the Purple Mountain Sect, everyone did not dare to look around, held their breath, and followed cautiously, so after entering the Purple Mountain Sect Mountain Gate, they did not carefully observe the demeanor of the Immortal Gate, but felt that the area of this Immortal Gate was extremely wide.
In the Purple Mountain Sect Pharmacy, more than a dozen teenagers who looked like medicine children came out, and under the leadership of one person, they were ready to hand over the spiritual herbs to the people of the Yao family.
"Brother Du, you can assist the Jiawei brothers in handing over the spiritual herbs. Hu Daniu glanced at Du Fan and said meaningfully.
"No problem, Brother Hu rest assured. Du Fan instantly understood what Hu Da Niu meant, and went over to assist in handing over the spiritual herbs.
An hour later, a large number of spiritual herbs were successfully handed over under Du Fan's mellowness, and the gray-clothed old man showed a somewhat satisfied look and said: "It's getting late, you wait to stay here, you are not allowed to enter and leave the rest of my Purple Mountain Sect, and leave the mountain quickly early tomorrow morning." Ali, you take all the people of the Yao family to your residence. ”
"Yes, disciple obeys!" a young man hurriedly took the order.
The old man in gray didn't even look at everyone, snorted coldly, turned around and left, never putting anyone in the Yao family in his eyes.
"Come with me, everybody. ”
......
The moon and stars are scarce, and when the night falls, Du Fan is dry and has no intention of sleeping, so he came to the courtyard alone and was accompanied by the starlight.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried broken footsteps in the distance, from far to near, and it was very close to the courtyard where Du Fan was in a short time, Du Fan subconsciously turned around and hid behind the wall.
Through the wall, Du Fan saw a woman with a panicked look, this woman was dressed in a white palace dress, with a beautiful face, a bewitching body, and a slight flush on her charming face, revealing a look of nervousness and expectation, her expression was a little complicated, but she could still see that she had something in her heart.
Du Fan originally planned to go back to the room to rest after this woman walked over, but he had a feeling that he should follow the past to see, and this feeling was extremely strong, Du Fan was taken aback by his thoughts, he had never been a person who was curious about gossip, and this place was the hinterland of the Purple Mountain Sect, this move should never be, but why did he have such an idea at this time.
This thought became stronger and stronger, gradually overcoming Du Fan's reason, and before he knew it, he had taken a step.
Du Fan had never felt this way, and at this time, he carefully followed the woman in the palace costume with a horizontal heart, and at the same time memorized the route he was taking.
This follow-up was half an hour, and the road to Du Fan was already a little vague, and when he was hesitating whether he should return the same way, the woman in front of him looked left and right for a while, and turned into a rather luxurious courtyard in a panic. Du Fan gritted his teeth and followed.
After entering the courtyard, Du Fan saw the woman go straight to the main attic in the courtyard, and Du Fan quietly hid behind a tree to observe the woman.
I saw the woman in the palace dress sneakily walked to the door of the attic, and knocked on the door very regularly, and after a while, the door suddenly opened, and a person poked out.
Under the illumination of the starlight, Du Fan could see the people in the room clearly at a glance, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This is a handsome and immaculate man's face, wearing white pajamas at this time, his eyes showing an obscene light, this person is the proud son of the Purple Mountain Sect who has a relationship with Du Fan, Wu Hao! Not long ago, he and his father sent a dowry gift to the Yao family and proposed to marry Yao Ruoxi.
The image of the handsome young man in white, with a refined temperament, and both ability and political integrity, instantly appeared in Du Fan's mind, and it was difficult to overlap with the Wu Hao he saw at this time. Du Fan was a little skeptical about whether he was wrong.
In a moment of astonishment, the door was closed, and the sound of laughter and obscenity in the room was heard.
Thinking of Yao Ruoxi, Du Fan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that he was wrong, this person was not Wu Hao, so he quietly approached the house.
Lying under the window, the voice of the words inside was clear to the ear.
"Senior Brother Wu, do you miss me?" the woman's voice was delicate.
"I think about it, I think about it every day, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, so I touch it first. Wu Hao's voice was debauched, and he had no vulgar temperament, and after he finished speaking, there was a sound of flesh rubbing, which caused the woman to scream.
"You're lying, you want me to marry that lowly woman, well, lightly ......" the woman gasped.
"Hehe, don't you know that I am breaking through the bottleneck, if I use the power of the woman's Yuan Yin to break through, it will get twice the result with half the effort, if I don't take her Yuan Yin, do you take yours?" Wu Hao smiled and teased.
"Bah, who gave you Yuan Yin! Yuan Yin is extremely important to us female cultivators, and you want to marry her because of this? Why do you want to do anything to go to the outside world and directly catch a female cultivator, and don't let you take what you want, hey, don't bite me! Hello **......" The woman smacked lightly, and the last scream that suppressed the volume was extremely tempting, as if it aroused Wu Hao's bestiality, and the sound of fluttering in the room was even more intense.
"Don't you just like me, hehe, you don't know, Yao Ruoxi's qualifications belong to the top grade, and there must be few in the casual cultivation, and because of the door rules, this matter can't be taken on the table, and after arresting a female cultivator, it must be dealt with immediately, otherwise it will cause trouble." The bottleneck I will face in the future is not once, and I can't go out to find a female cultivator to come back every time I break through, so after I discussed with my father, I paid attention to captivity, and directly married Yao Ruoxi back, and every time I broke through, I took a share of her Yuan Yin, until her Yuan Yin was killed by me. And you will always be my favorite, as for those mortal marriages, do people like you and me still need to care? Hehe, come here......" After an exclamation from inside the room, there were no words, replaced by the sound of flesh slapping and panting.
Under the window outside the house, Du Fan clenched his fists, his heart was full of anger, and his lips trembled uncontrollably violently.
"Brute!" Du Fan scolded angrily in his heart, but he must not make any moves at this time, he must be calm at this time, and he needs to think long-term, otherwise his life will not be said here, Ruoxi will also be in a catastrophe, and even because of his recklessness, he will bring disaster to the entire Yao family.
Thinking of this, Du Fan tried his best to control his emotions, and his footsteps began to move back quietly, but at this moment, a cold snort suddenly came out.
Du Fan's heart tightened, and he suddenly stopped.
