Chapter 30: apprenticeship
"Today's apprenticeship ceremony, everything is normal, Xiaowu has officially become a disciple of Xuanqingzong. Four elders, you stay, and the rest of the disciples will go back first."
Mu Yanze looked at the crowd, and said word by word, the momentum exuding from his body was even a little fierce, suppressing everyone, and did not dare to refute easily.
After he finished speaking, his eyes passed over Shu Xiaowu, who was at a loss for what to do, and then he looked ahead and continued to speak, but his tone had softened a lot: "Ling'er, you bring Xiaowu to my room, wait for me. I will come. Nao'er, you lead the rest of the disciples back."
"Yes, Master."
When Shu Xiaowu was taken away by Liu Ruling, his face was stunned, and he couldn't understand the situation at all. She just dropped blood and recognized her teacher. In this short period of time, something happened that she didn't notice?
Immediately after the Sect Master's order was issued, all the disciples left quickly, and within half a stick of incense, there were only five people left in the entire hall.
The heavy door slammed shut behind several people, Mu Yanze thought, and a transparent barrier enveloped them.
When the four of them saw this situation, they didn't say a word, but they had already thought about the importance of the matter in their hearts.
When everything was ready, Mu Yanze looked at the expressions of everyone, and said calmly: "When I retreated before, I saw the destiny." He left the customs earlier this time, and at the same time his cultivation level was successfully improved, he sensed a vision.
As soon as the voice fell, the hearts of several people fell into the hot oil pan at the same time, rolled a few times, and looked at him with unbelievable eyes.
The reincarnation of heaven has its own rules and conclusions, and his words must not allow any of them to talk.
"Is it about that girl?" Liu Zheguang's throat seemed to be choked with a huge hard rock, and every breath felt like he was going through a life-and-death struggle. The destiny of the world, which is so solemn, makes him not dare to touch it too easily.
Mu Yanze gave him a deep look, his expression was cold and solemn, as if he had broken through the events of life, and he seemed to be overlooking the world closely.
"The destiny has a word: to protect her, to protect all living beings."

"Sister Ruling, just tell me what happened before?"
In the wing room, Shu Xiaowu pulled Liu Ruling's sleeve and begged bitterly. When she left the hall, the strange eyes of everyone, no matter how big her heart was, could not be ignored, but when she asked, the answer she got was "no"?
Shu Xiaowu didn't believe it.
"Xiaowu, don't think too much." Having been stopped by her master, Liu Ruling naturally would not talk to her about what happened in the palace.
╭(╯^╰)╮ perfunctory
Since she can't ask her, Shu Xiaowu doesn't want to entangle any more. Anyway, she can ask her new master later.
Thinking like this, she grabbed the sect token placed in front of the table, and looked at it boredly. While watching, she tried to use some information she knew to make use of clichés.
"Sister Ruling, is there any difference after the sect's token drips blood?"
Knowing that the thoughts in her heart had not fallen, Liu Ruling bit the corner of her lower lip lightly, and answered with consideration: "After the token drips blood, it will leave a name on the disciple's stone, and the token will also be connected to the mind of the person who dripped blood."
The above answer is the truth that all the disciples know. Even if Liu Ruling wanted her to know, she would have such an answer if she asked someone casually.
"My name is also on the disciple stone now?"
"…"
Liu Ruling hesitated before answering. When she left Zhuditang before, she deliberately glanced at Disciple Shi, but did not find Shu Xiaowu's name lit up.
Originally, when Shu Xiaowu asked this question, it was just for her to continue to ask, but she did not expect that at the beginning, her question went wrong.
Could it be that her name did not appear on the disciple stone...
Just when Shu Xiaowu wanted to discuss this issue further, he was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.
"Master."
As soon as Liu Ruling heard the movement, she immediately stood up to greet her, letting out a faint sigh of relief. The development of today's situation made her completely incomprehensible, and Shu Xiaowu still insisted on it. Now that the master has come, she has found the backbone.
"Xiaowu has just arrived, and various matters in the sect will need you and Nao'er to explain to her afterwards." Mu Yanze looked at Liu Ruling with a calm expression and instructed.
"Master, don't worry, senior brother and I will take good care of junior and senior sister Xiaowu." There are not many disciples of Master, and there are only a few dozen people in total. Nowadays, many senior brothers and sisters go out for travel and retreat and practice. It's just her and her brother.
"Okay, you go back first."
"Yes."
As soon as Liu Ruling left, only Shu Xiaowu and Mu Yanze were left in the room.
Thinking that yesterday, he was still cautiously staring at the person in front of him, and today he called his master in a blink of an eye, and Shu Xiaowu really felt dreamy. However, dreams are dreams, and what happened before should be what she should pay attention to most now.
Shu Xiaowu followed in Mu Yanze's footsteps, and just when he stood at the table and turned around, ready to speak to ask about today's affairs, he saw him raise his hand, almost like yesterday, a sign appeared in his palm. new items.
Because of his actions, Shu Xiaowu was instantly attracted, and temporarily put the previous inquiries behind him.
"This is a gift to you from the teacher. It is the same as yesterday's jade bracelet, and it can have storage space. At the same time, I have integrated a ray of spiritual knowledge into it. If you have an accident, use this jade. Fasten the sound transmission, and the master will arrive at your side immediately." Since she is a man of destiny, he naturally wants to protect her safety as much as possible.
"Thank you, Master." Shu Xiaowu took over the lustrous white zeyu buckle made of green silk rope as a pendant, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. Now she can be counted on to rely on, in addition to a jade bracelet that can protect her, there is another magic weapon that can be summoned to rescue soldiers at any time, which is really fortunate.
However, when these two objects disappeared one day, she realized that her happiness at this time was useless.
"Xiaowu sit down first. Master asks you a few questions this time. You must answer them truthfully." Mu Yanze said suddenly, and there was no excess emotion in his calm male voice.
The style of painting changed suddenly, and before Shu Xiaowu's joy in his heart dropped, he made a "crack" and changed his taste.
Zhan Zhan sat down on the carved wooden bench following Master's instructions in a panic. She even felt that the jade button she was holding in the palm of her hand had turned into a hot potato at this moment, making her want to throw it but she didn't dare.
"Master, if you ask, I will try my best to know everything and say everything..." She just tried her best. It really involves her life, so it is better for her to bury it carefully.
At this time, she had long since threw aside the question that she was eager to ask before. She only hoped that the master didn't want to dig out her own bottom line, and then care about how to treat her.
But I really didn't expect that the first thing I wanted to do was to uncover the bottom of the happy time when I was looking forward to being able to enjoy the shade by relying on a big tree.
Seeing his little disciple's fear, Mu Yanze changed his previous gentleness and didn't say a word of consolation. He didn't want her to answer the next question with a relaxed attitude.
Shu Xiaowu looked at the resolute and cold face of the master, and felt a little heartache: that can't be done, it was the hole that the master dug for herself before, and she just jumped in and changed her face?
"Where did Xiaowu live before he arrived in the Demon Realm?" Although his tone was still kind, his tone was no longer gentle.
Seeing his attitude, Shu Xiaowu didn't dare to prevaricate any more, licking his lips that suddenly felt dry, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to speak.
It doesn't look like she's going to have a good day today, so let the storm come more violently.
"I'm not actually a human being, I'm an ordinary grass demon..." Shu Xiaowu glanced at Master's expression, saw that he was still immobile, and continued to speak in fear, "Staying in a forest for a thousand years Later, I met Yu Shu, who took me to the Demon Realm, and spent a hundred years with him and Limo. Then, when I met Gu Nao, I asked him to take me out of the Demon Realm."
She roughly finished her story in one breath, plain and simple, just waiting for his next question.
"How did Xiaowu become a human?" Mu Yanze easily caught the loophole in her words.
Shu Xiao was embarrassed. She had finished speaking all at once, so that he would not ask any more questions, but it seemed impossible.
"Yu Shu said that he gave me a thousand years of Taoism and turned me into a human form." She said embarrassingly, what a beautiful thing she thought at the time, and she said it on such an occasion, she really hoped that it never happened. Pass.
Mu Yanze lightly wrinkled his forehead, his expression changed, "When you turned into a human form, what other feelings could you have?"
other feelings? One hundred years have passed, and she doesn't seem to remember.
She racked her brains for a while before she came up with something.
"It seemed that I felt something penetrated into my body, like from the top of my head to my heart, but it didn't hurt at all." She shook her head, grinned reluctantly, pretending to be relaxed, and wanted Master to skip this topic as soon as possible. .
However, when she thought she didn't think there was any information, it turned out that Mu Yanze heard it as if thunder flashed, "boom boom", and the combo hit his brain.
"Come here, Xiaowu, I'll take a closer look at you... You have a ban imposed by the devil in your body." If he guessed correctly, at that time, the ban had already entered. And this restriction successfully imprisoned her breath, and also imprisoned her spiritual power.
Ban? Suddenly hearing this exogenous word, Shu Xiaowu was startled, and his mind was a little dizzy. She has been in the Demon Domain for a long time, and even when she came out, she didn't find anything abnormal in her body at all?
But seeing Master's serious and nervous appearance, she felt a little shaken in her heart, then got up and walked over.
"Xiaowu, wait, no matter what you feel, don't resist my power, okay? I won't hurt you." Mu Yanze said quietly, he didn't know what would happen next.
Shu Xiaowu nodded. If Yu Shu really put the ban on her, then she must be eliminated by Master quickly.
Mu Yanze agreed and no longer hesitated. The spiritual power of the whole body gathered on the palm of his right hand in the moment of luck, and the dazzling light spread out in his palm. After condensing to a certain brightness, he slowly, like a slow rhythm, pushed the palm of his hand towards her heart.
At the same time, he could feel that his spiritual energy had soaked into her heart, entangled with another breath in a place that was invisible to the naked eye.
Shu Xiaowu saw the leaping green light blooming on her chest. To be honest, she was a little embarrassed
After all, she's a girl, and she would be embarrassed if she pointed her hand at someone's chest so suddenly.
Fortunately, his palm stopped just a punch away from her chest and stopped moving forward.
But when he stopped moving forward, Shu Xiaowu felt very uncomfortable. There was a faint pain lingering in her heart, which made her close her eyes and frowned.
His vision returned to darkness, and the feeling in his body became clearer. She could feel an air flow that was completely different from her body constantly pouring into her heart, disrupting the original pace and causing the air in her body to disorder the air flow.
The airflow scoured her fragile atrium one after another, causing pain from time to time, and the pain seemed to be endless, and her heart couldn't help curling up in pain.
Shu Xiaowu wanted to open her eyes immediately and tell her master to stop and stop the sudden pain, but her body seemed to freeze and she couldn't move. She could only hold her breath as much as possible, exhaled in small mouths, and endured it silently.
I don't know how long it took, just a short moment, or after a long fleeting time, the pain in my heart was finally soothed. The air flow slowly turned into a gentle stream, and when it gurgled, it turned into a nourishment for the body and slowly flowed into the heart.
All pain is finally gone.

In the Demon Realm, Yu Shu, who was lying still on the soft mattress of the wool quilt, slowly opened his eyes, and his ochre pupils flickered, as if there were flames beating.
He slowly lowered his head, and at the same time the corners of his mouth were raised, his fair lower jaw drew a beautiful arc. When the firelight in the phoenix's eyes sensed the calm there, he squinted slightly obediently, and the sneer at the corners of his mouth became more and more serious. wanton.
With just his little mana, it would be a fool's errand to want to damage his seal.
However, if he is willing to contribute his strength, then why would he not do it!
The author has something to say: In order to comfort the little angels who want to see the male protagonist, I decided to arrange a small theater on the days when the male protagonist does not appear
