Chapter 141: The Sloppy Eyes in the Council Hall
While Taoist Xuantan was in a daze, Lingxiang had already walked behind Taoist Fuyin. Seeing her like this, Taoist Fuyin really couldn't understand what she was up to, so he looked at her to inquire, but Lingxiang quickly leaned over to help him.
"Oh~ Oh~ Master~ Your eye disease has recurred again? This is so bad. You have to suffer this every spring. Your disciple is so distressed~" The tone was so gentle and tortuous that even Master Zhaoming, who was used to listening, could not help but shudder, not to mention Taoist Xuantan and the group of male disciples he brought with him.
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin's face froze and he coughed lightly to cover it up.
"For... For the master... For the master, it's fine. Maybe it's the dust that blinded me. It's not a big deal."
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was being succinct. There was no wind in the hall, not even a speck of dust. The sect's disciples swept the place cleanly every day.
Lingxiang couldn't help but complain inwardly: This Sixth Senior Brother is really something, he can't even say anything to fool people.
Her eyes rolled, and she hurried to Master Fuyin: "Oh my! You have ashes in your body. Let me blow them out for you. I am deeply saddened by your suffering!"
In this way, Lingxiang happened to be facing away from Taoist Xuantan, and when Master Fuyin saw her like this, he was about to dodge, but he saw Lingxiang winking at him, and he immediately knew that she had something to say to him. Just as he was thinking of finding an excuse, he heard Master Qianyuan say:
"Since Sixth Junior Brother's eye disease has recurred, Maidong should help your master go back together and apply some moxa leaves to relieve the disease to prevent it from getting worse in the future."
Taoist Qianyuan's words really touched Lingxiang's heart. She turned around and saluted him, then pulled Taoist Fuyin's sleeve. But after a moment, she seemed to feel something was wrong, so she bent down and supported his arm, pinching it secretly.
Master Fuyin stood up with great pain and apologized to Taoist Xuantan: "It is true that my old illness has come back. I cannot accompany you, Taoist brother. I hope you will forgive me."
As Taoist Xuantan just stood up to return the greeting and said it was okay, Lingxiang pulled Zhenren Fuyin out of the hall, as if she couldn't wait any longer. When she passed by Maidong, she just nodded at her imperceptibly.
Maidong just put down his teacup and glanced at her, as if it was just an unintentional glance.
After Master Fuyin was dragged out of the meeting hall by Lingxiang, he saw that there was no one around and asked her what she was doing, but he saw that Lingxiang had a serious expression on her face.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I want you to take me to the Kunwu Sect in Haoyang City."
Master Fuyin was extremely confused and asked why, but Lingxiang just said that human life was at stake and urged him to fly the sword quickly and they would explain it in detail on the way.
……
"My name is Hongying, and I'm a disciple of Kunwu Sect. This time I've come here specially to visit Elder Fucang, only to ask her to give me a pill so that I can go back and save my master." The woman started talking as soon as she sat down.
"Save your master? Who is your master?"
"I am a disciple of Master Xuanhuai, the head of Kunwu Sect. Some time ago, the head was poisoned and was seriously injured while subduing a demon. Now he is in danger. I heard that Elder Fucang of Yuanqing Sect is very good at medicine, so I came here without following the rules." Hongying said with tears in her eyes, and she looked really anxious.
Lingxiang heard this and hurriedly comforted him, "Since your master is a cultivator, how could he be poisoned? Moreover, he is the head of a sect, how could he personally go down the mountain to subdue the monster?"
Upon hearing this, Hongying quickly replied, "It was the head uncle who put poison in Master's food. Senior Brother saw it with his own eyes. Master is now unconscious and Senior Brother is under house arrest. I only found out about this after I came back from the mountain to subdue the demon and noticed that the atmosphere in the mountain was not right. I went to see Senior Brother and found out."
"A few days ago, Uncle Xuantan asked people to guard Master's yard, and someone else ordered people to close Senior Brother's yard. When I returned to the mountain, I felt something was wrong, so I immediately went to find Senior Brother secretly, and then I found out the whole story." "So it was your Senior Brother who asked you to find Elder Fucang?" Lingxiang frowned.
"Yes, he heard that Master Xuantan was coming to Yuanqing Sect to ask for the life-extending pill, so he asked me to go ahead, saying that if the pill fell into the hands of Master Xuantan, Master would definitely not have a chance of survival." Hongying said, then grabbed Lingxiang's hand and said, "Although we just met, I see that you seem to be much younger than me, so I will go beyond the rules and call you sister. Good sister, since you know Elder Fucang, I hope you can say a few good words in front of her and save my master!"
Seeing this, Lingxiang hurriedly comforted her, "Saving lives is the duty of a cultivator. So, if you trust me, go back and wait at the gate of Kunwu Sect. I will help you talk to Elder Fu Cang, and she will definitely help you save people."
Hongying seemed hesitant when she heard that, but seeing Lingxiang's sincere look on her face, she nodded.
"Then I'll leave everything to my sister!"
……
"So you think there's something fishy going on, and that's why you switched identities with Maidong?" Master Fuyin said as he increased the speed of flying his sword.
The distance from Guyang City to Haoyang City is not far. We have already wasted a lot of time just now. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. If it is true as Lingxiang said, we have to hurry.
When Lingxiang saw Master Fuyin exerting force, she quickly covered her ears - the wind was really uncomfortable, so Shoucheng's earth escape technique was more convenient.
"Brother, please don't panic. I just think there is something strange going on."
Master Fuyin was very puzzled. She had just said that she was in a hurry to save people, so why was it so strange?
"Brother, look, since Hongying went first, how come she came to Yuanqing Sect with Taoist Xuantan? This is one reason. The other reason is that Taoist Xuanhuai is the head of a sect, so how come he would be guarded by someone from the sect? Are all the disciples of Kunwu Sect good-for-nothings?"
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin slowed down his sword-riding speed and pondered for a moment.
"You mean, the woman named Hongying lied?"
"That's not the case. Judging from her face, she doesn't look like a cunning or treacherous person. But this matter is so inconsistent, there must be another hidden story. But no matter what, if the head of a sect is really in danger, it is indeed a big deal. Brother, you should hurry up, otherwise you will be late and help the villain to delay."
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin exerted force with his hand gestures and the flying sword became much faster. Lingxiang was frightened so much that she hurriedly grabbed the hem of his clothes to avoid falling.
About quarter of an hour later, the two finally landed. As soon as they landed, Lingxiang ran to the side and kept patting her chest.
This Senior Brother Fuyin is really something. Even if he was in a hurry to save people, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. He would send her to hell before rescuing the outsider.
Fortunately, I don’t know how to wield a sword!
When Master Fuyin saw her like this, he smiled and walked forward to pat her on the back. After some massage, Lingxiang felt much better.
"Look, this is Tulun Mountain. The gate of Kunwu Sect is right in front."
