Chapter 6 [006] Patrolling the Mountain at Night

Shi Qing practiced swordplay at Shuangjianfeng, and returned to Yujing Peak to regulate his breathing at dusk.

The residence of the headmaster Shi Yue is called Qingge, located in the Sanqing blessed land.

She hadn't seen the sect leader for a long time. Ever since she heard the news that the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm was about to open, she had been traveling between Fenglei Tower and Jinping Peak.

Before going back to regulate her breathing, she first went to Qingge.

Shi Yue was dressed in a green robe, looked handsome, and was holding a whisk. He looked like an immortal as he stood beside the alchemy furnace in front of Qingge.

Shi Qing flew down on his sword and bowed to the man, "Master."

The man looked up at her and said, "You got out of the Wind and Thunder Tower pretty quickly this time. Your thunder tribulation is coming soon. It's best for you to stay in the Three Pure Ones Blessed Land for the rest of your life."

Shi Qing is about to break through to the golden elixir stage. When the thunder tribulation comes, she will need someone to help protect her. The master said this because he is worried about her.

"Avoid lightning." She said, "Wind and Thunder Tower."

Fenglei Tower is also a good place to avoid lightning.

Hearing Shi Qing's response, Shi Yue chuckled, looking helpless: "It was indeed good to be in the place of overcoming tribulations in the past, but now there are more and more demons being suppressed. It is hard to guarantee that those guys will not absorb the power of the thunder and break through the suppression array. I know you are determined to improve yourself, but you should also take care of your body."

"I'll pay attention." Shi Qing said.

She blinked and said, "You need to regulate your breathing."

Shi Yue understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "Go ahead. But remember to patrol the mountain tonight. It should have been your turn a few days ago, but since you were still in the Wind and Thunder Pagoda, your other junior brothers and sisters took over. You have to make up for it when you come back today."

"Okay." Shi Qing responded.

The so-called mountain patrol is actually a night patrol, but it is not the entire Sanqing Mountain Gate, but the area around the Giant Python Peak.

Elder Yuxu of Sanqing Mountain has been in seclusion there for nearly a hundred years. During this period, the head of the sect ordered that no one was allowed to disturb her. However, some fearless disciples liked to challenge the sect rules and secretly climbed up the Giant Python Peak at night, wanting to see different scenery. As a result, they disturbed Elder Yuxu's seclusion one time, causing her to fly into a rage and almost causing the Giant Python Peak to collapse.

Later, those fearless disciples were driven out of Sanqing Mountain, and the head of the sect, Shi Yue, also ordered that all disciples must be sent to patrol the peak every night. Anyone who stepped into the Giant Python Peak, no matter who it was, would be punished.

At night, a cold wind blows from the mountains.

The Sanqing Mountain is surrounded by huge peaks, clouds and mist, and has steep cliffs, making the view in front of people hazy.

When the moonlight breaks through the dense clouds, the night pines, cypresses and bluestones can finally be seen.

The top of the Giant Python Peak is flat, with a slightly thin neck and an extremely abrupt shape, resembling a giant cobra. Many people think that this is how it got its name.

Shi Qing sat cross-legged at the foot of the giant python peak, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

Her patrolling of the mountain was different from that of other disciples.

While other junior brothers and sisters were patrolling around along certain routes, Shi Qing stayed in a fixed area. When night fell, she spread out her spiritual awareness. She could immediately detect any movement at the edge of the Giant Python Peak and rush over quickly.

The midnight hour is calm and peaceful.

But just when the moonlight finally broke through the clouds, Shi Qing suddenly opened his eyes.

The girl's pupils moved slightly, and she looked in a certain direction calmly and indifferently.

The next second, the sitting figure disappeared.

There are disciples patrolling at Sanqing Mountain at night. Zhongli Jin has inquired about the disciples' patrol routes in advance, so he just needs to avoid them.

The night was cold and people were shivering.

However, even so, he must obtain the condensing grass.

If he took such a risk just for the Qisheng Pill, it would not be worth it. What he wanted was not so simple. The most important raw material for the pill that the boy was going to make was the Condensation Grass.

At present, alchemists generally regard it as a medicine for making elixirs and do not take it seriously, so other effects of Condensing Grass have not been discovered.

He didn't find the coagulation grass in the medicine store during the day, so he went to ask Cangying about the resurrection pill.

He didn't have time to wait for the experienced disciples to bring the characters back to him. There was not much time left before the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm was opened, and each sect could send out a team.

As a disciple of Sanqing Mountain, Zhongli Jin cannot enter the secret realm, so he will enter as a disciple of Xuanxiao Sect.

Zhongli Jin pulled up the black mask, leaving only his eyebrows and eyes exposed on his face. His pupils, as bright as stars, were shrouded in a cold color at night, which was different from that during the day.

It was pitch black in the gorge of the Giant Python Peak, and the moonlight was completely blocked by the surrounding towering mountains.

He took out the night pearl to light up, and his figure quickly passed through the canyon blade and soon arrived at the vicinity of the Giant Python Peak.

The rock that seems to be isolated from the world stands upright between the peaks, contrasting with the Goddess Peak.

Its appearance really does resemble a giant python, majestic, vigorous and graceful.

At this point, the patrolling disciple should be on the other side of the mountain, and he would have enough time to pick the condensed grass before leaving.

The mountain was too high and Zhongli Jin couldn't fly the sword, so it was difficult to climb up.

But the young man has another way. With the help of the Wind-Controlling Stone, he can fly in the air for a short period of time, and then he just needs to climb up the rock.

The appearance of the coagulation grass is similar to morning glory and it grows in the cracks of rocks between mountains.

Zhongli Jin was just about to smash the Wind-Controlling Stone to take action, but suddenly a strong mountain wind came from far away and approached his ears!

Then something seemed to be blowing through the forest and approaching quickly.

[Something is coming, it will be in front of you soon, get out of the way!] The old voice warned with a bit of anxiety.

The young man was startled, and just before the strong gust of wind was about to hit him, he quickly dodged to the side!
——Discovered?!

how come? !

Zhongli Jin's eyes were cold. Logically speaking, the patrolling disciples should be on the other side of the mountain at this point!
A voice came from my head: [It seems that tonight is not going to work, let’s go! ]

[I understand.] Zhongli Jin said.

He also knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he turned around and fled.

But the next second, his ankle seemed to be entangled by something, pulling him and causing him to fall to the ground!
[Junior! How are you? ! ]

[I'm fine!] Zhongli Jin gritted his teeth and responded while enduring the pain of hitting the ground.

He was about to get up when he suddenly felt that the thing wrapped around him was still moving.

Zhong Lijin was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened. He looked back at his legs, and saw a snow-white bandage like a nimble little snake, going up along his body, from his ankle, to his calf, and then to the base of his thigh...

The boy's expression changed, and a hint of shame and anger appeared on his face beneath the mask.

The bandage was wrapped very tightly, as if to prevent him from escaping, and it left some red marks on his skin.

Zhongli Jin wanted to break free, but it wouldn't give in. It continued to move upwards, across his chest, and finally to his neck, pulling off his mask!

The bandaged head looked like the eyes of a snake. After he and the boy looked at each other, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him - "Zhongli Jin?"

　Good morning! Please add a comment and vote for recommendation! !
