Chapter 46 Shi Jian leads the team to the wilderness
"Disciple, you are here?"
"Master, the Third Elder has just said that I will lead a team to Jiuquan Town to quell the ghost disaster."
Wu Chenzi sat leisurely in front of the stone table. After hearing what Shi Jian said, he smiled slightly, drank the tea in the cup, and then stared at Shi Jian!
"This matter was decided by the master himself, and the purpose is to let you, the 72nd generation of disciples, experience more of these evil things.
but……
For you, there is not much value in training. As for those evil spirits, I know that with your cultivation level, they can be shattered into ashes with just a wave of your hand."
"Then Master?"
Shi Jian was puzzled. Since it was of no value to him, why should he let him lead the team on this trip?
Wu Chenzi seemed to see the confusion in Shi Jian's heart at the moment, and saw Shi Jian's rejection of the idea of leading the team down the mountain.
Sighing slightly...
“Disciple, you are almost thirteen years old this year, but you have been practicing in Maoshan since you were six years old.
It is true that my disciple, you have extraordinary abilities, but do you think that the most terrifying things in this world are really those demons and evil spirits?
In fact, compared to demons, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. Some people are even more cruel than demons!"
As he spoke, Wu Chenzi unintentionally revealed a hint of murderous intent. Even though Shi Jian knew that this was not directed at him, he still felt a deep chill in it.
Wu Chenzi's words fell into Shi Jian's ears, like a heavy hammer hitting him hard!
"yes!
The demons in this world are openly confusing the people. If they are right in front of us, we just need to kill them.
But are those sinister and cunning people really less evil than demons? "
Shi Jian muttered to himself, deep down he clearly knew that it was not the case.
Seeing his disciple lowering his head, Wu Chenzi asked again!
"Disciple, if I ask you to leave the mountain and not touch any demons but only kill the foreigners, do you dare to do it?"
After hearing this, Shi Jian nodded. When he heard about killing the foreigners, he felt very cold in his heart.
He will not show any mercy, even...
It will be more cruel than Wu Chenzi imagined!
"Master, are you saying that my mission this time is to deal with these foreign missionaries?"
Wu Chenzi did not expect that his disciple did not overreact, but seemed to be ready to make some moves?
"That's right. If these foreign missionaries cooperate obediently and get out of China afterwards, then we will spare their lives. If they are stubborn and continue to oppose us, then we will kill them!
How can we allow these scoundrels to run rampant in China!"
Wu Chenzi did not say anything absolute. According to his thinking, as long as foreign missionaries set foot in China, they should be killed. If he took action, he would kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
In the struggle for orthodoxy, Maoshan will not show mercy...
As for whether it is inhumane, that is not something Wu Chenzi should consider. After all, Maoshan's precepts do not include foreigners.
What's more, the world is in chaos and human lives are worthless. It is better to kill the wrong people than to let them go. Foreigners invaded China, so don't they deserve to die?
Shi Jian was surprisingly calm. He saw the domineering look of his master and had his own thoughts in mind.
Whether the foreign missionaries should die was actually decided the moment Shi Jian was chosen to lead the team down the mountain.
In the fight for the orthodox doctrine, Shi Jian will not show mercy!
"Master, please rest assured. I know what to do. It is not the turn of these barbarians to point fingers in China."
After saying this, Shi Jian's expression returned to calm.
Wu Chenzi didn't know what his disciple was thinking deep in his heart, but since Shi Jian was so calm, he must have made his own decision, so he didn't need to say much.
Soon, within the time it takes to stick an incense stick of time, Shi Jian had packed up and was ready to go down the mountain.
..........................................
All the disciples had gathered in the Talisman Hall. After Shi Jian arrived, he saw that the solemn look on everyone's faces was no longer there, but full of joy instead.
"Are you all ready, fellow disciples?"
"Reporting to the elder brother, we will follow him down the mountain to kill the evil spirits as soon as he gives the order!"
Shi Jian smiled faintly. They were only twelve or thirteen years old, but now they had already taken on the wings of responsibility...
"Since everything is ready, let's set off!" After saying that, Shi Jian took a step forward, and everyone followed closely. In the hall, the third elder watched this scene and nodded repeatedly.
"Young people are formidable. In the blink of an eye, these little guys will grow up..."
After Shi Jian led a group of fellow disciples and sisters to leave Maoshan and head down the mountain, the Great Elder also set out and followed them secretly.
Jiuquan Town is not that close. At least according to Shi Jian and his group’s speed, it might take about two days to get there.
After all, not everyone is as tireless as Shi Jian...
By nightfall, Shi Jian and his companions had walked forty or fifty miles and arrived at a dense forest.
In the sky, the moonlight is bright, shining on the earth.
The rustling sound of wind blew through the leaves, and the forest seemed especially quiet.
"We'll be there in half a day."
Shi Jian thought about it and decided to camp here tonight!
"My fellow disciples, please stop here and rest. It won't be too late to continue your journey tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother!"
They were already tired, but due to the authority of their eldest senior brother, no one dared to stop halfway.
Simu sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Fengjiao and Qianhe sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice quietly...
As for the other disciples, after collecting the surrounding dead wood and lighting a fire, they took out the food and water they had prepared and began to replenish their bodies.
Shi Jian naturally didn't need it. Ever since he entered the Qi training realm, he needed less and less to take in food. It was enough to consume the true Qi in his body through fasting.
After resting for a while, Simu finally recovered a little and took out food and drinks to replenish his energy. However, when he saw his senior brother sitting quietly, Simu had some new ideas!
Standing up, Si Mu slowly came to Shi Jian...
"Big Brother, these are some food that I brought. Big Brother, would you like to try some?"
Hearing this, Shi Jian slowly opened his eyes and looked at Simu's smiling face, and couldn't help being speechless.
"Junior Brother Simu, I appreciate your kindness. I have been fasting for a long time, so please enjoy it yourself."
"this……
Well then, if you have any instructions, I will definitely look for you, and I will go through fire and water for you!"
The corner of Shi Jian's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Simu to be so funny. He was only twelve years old, but he was so well-versed in human nature and tactful in dealing with things, but it was a little unexpected.
"Junior Brother Simu is so thoughtful. From now on, I will take care of all your needs..."
As if he could see that his eldest senior brother was not in a good mood at the moment, Simu was also very sensible. After a few subtle words, he returned to where he had just sat and started to taste the food.
As for Shi Jian, he was also very happy to see this scene. With his eyes slightly closed, he did not relax at all and remained on high alert.
This place is not Maoshan. Although it is not far from Maoshan, some unexpected things are inevitable.
What's more, Lin Fengjiao and the others are only twelve or thirteen years old. If anything really happens, they have to rely on themselves.
After everyone finished eating, they started chatting, exchanging ideas about Taoism and their aspirations for this trip.
As the night deepened, all the disciples soon fell into a deep sleep, except for Shi Jian, Lin Fengjiao, and Qian He who remained awake...
Several thousand meters away from the place where Shi Jian and his companions were resting, a huge rock stood tall. Under the moonlight, a snow-white fox began to swallow the moonlight. With every breath, a large amount of moonlight was devoured by it.
However, the fox did not notice that behind it, a pair of green eyes were staring at it!
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, a giant black wolf pounced. The fox with snow-white hair did not expect to be attacked. The moment it heard the wolf howling, the white fox turned around, and a hint of surprise flashed in its human-like eyes.
In an instant, without any chance to react, the white fox was bitten on the hind legs by the giant wolf!
The white fox howled, a hint of determination flashed in its eyes, and its claws fiercely scratched the giant wolf's head. After a shrill scream, the giant wolf let go, and one of its eyes was already broken.
The white fox seized the opportunity and jumped down from the boulder. When the giant wolf realized what was happening, it was extremely angry and also jumped up and started chasing after it...
It would be nice to raise a little fox to play with...
