Chapter 295: Being Sentenced to Guard the Demon Emperor's Tomb
No, there is still a slight difference.
At least the gatekeeper doesn't have to be responsible for sanitation tasks, nor does he have to be cannon fodder.
When evil cultivators invade, the ones most vulnerable to disaster are the little cannon fodder of this team.
After arriving here, Lin Qi finally understood why Chen Bai and his sister were worried.
When she took the scroll to report, she only saw a simple thatched hut nearby.
There was only a little girl in the room, with a thin face and bright eyes.
In the dark room, her eyes were the brightest, and they seemed to glow when she stared at Lin Qi.
"Who are you?" The other party asked Lin Qi first.
Lin Qi: "Lin Qi, a disciple of the Tianyi Sect, is ordered to guard the Demon Emperor's tomb. I wonder who you are?"
Upon hearing this answer, the light in the other party's eyes disappeared immediately, and he looked at Lin Qi indifferently: "He Mei, my name."
After a pause, she raised her head again and said, "He is also responsible for guarding the Tomb of the Demon Emperor."
"Is the report looking for you?"
"Report? I forgot there was such a thing."
He Mei lazily got up and ran to a pile of sundries to rummage around, "I'll look for it for you..."
Soon, she found a seal from the corner and waved to Lin Qi, "Bring the scroll!"
Lin Qi handed over the scroll, and when she got closer, she realized that He Mei was about the same height as her. He was probably too thin, which made him look smaller.
Hemei took the seal and stamped it on the scroll, "Okay!"
He casually threw the seal back into the trash pile.
Lin Qi was a little stunned. Is this okay?
"this……"
The other party waved his hand nonchalantly, "You were thrown here because you offended someone, right?"
Lin Qi swallowed what she wanted to say and nodded hesitantly.
He Mei was not surprised at all, "Don't worry, this task is easy."
It's just that life is in danger from time to time.
"You will know when you stay here for a long time. Don't make a fuss about anything and learn to get used to it."
Seeing her mature, calm and lazy look, Lin Qi suddenly wondered if she had really been tricked?
She found a clean place to sit down, put down the small package on her body, and asked curiously: "Are you the only one here?"
"No, there are four people in total."
"What about the rest?"
Lin Qi looked around the whole room and found no one else, "Are you going on patrol?"
"Patrol?" He Mei seemed to have heard some big joke, and glanced at Lin Qi, "The captain is sick. He is currently recovering at home. There is also a teammate who ran away. I don't know when he will be back.
"
"Run away?!" Lin Qi suspected that she heard wrongly.
"Yeah." Hemei responded a little impatiently, "As I said, if you stay here for a long time, anything will happen to you. Just get used to it."
"Then what are we going to do?"
"do what?"
He Mei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then raised his head after a while, "You don't have to do anything, just wait for the evil cultivators to come and run away."
Lin Qi: "..."
This time she saw that what she said to Mei was serious.
"I know..." Lin Qi didn't show any curious eyes this time.
Looking around the dark thatched house, I suddenly felt worried about the future.
But for a person like Lin Qi, who is full of fighting spirit and has a sharp sword hanging above her head, worry can only last for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, she finished cleaning the house with a cleaning technique and began to sit cross-legged on the floor and meditate.
She had just made a breakthrough, and since she had nothing to do now, she just took the opportunity to stabilize her cultivation.
He Mei glanced at her in trance, curled her lips lazily, turned over, and didn't care.
People who come here will initially pretend to be practicing seriously, but most people will find ways to leave within less than half a month.
The first day passed without incident.
Early on the next morning, Lin Qi meditated all night and opened her eyes. She felt refreshed and went out to practice sword practice with her sword in hand.
Recently she is learning the third section of Tai Chi Swordsmanship - Four Symbols.
This move is a relatively fierce one in Tai Chi swordsmanship. The sword is as fast as a cheetah, the sword is as fierce as a tiger, and the sword is as light as a crane when withdrawing.
Every move contains the principle of combining strength and softness, making it both sizzling and elegant.
He Mei, who was sleeping, heard the sound of swords clanking, and opened his eyes in confusion. It took him a while to realize what was going on outside.
She rubbed her eyes, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lin Qi had been practicing the sword for two hours. The sun was already high above her head, so she and Mei Cai stood up lazily.
When I walked to the door, I stretched myself.
Just as Lin Qi finished practicing her sword, she stopped.
She put the small wooden sword into its sheath, wiped her sweat, caught a glimpse of He Mei leaning on the door frame, and nodded as a greeting.
Lin Qi raised her feet and was about to leave. He Mei called out to her: "Where are you going? Evil cultivators may appear in Beilin at any time. Don't go to too remote places alone."
Although he didn't think Lin Qi could stay here for too long, He Mei still didn't want her to die so early. After all, she finally found a new teammate.
This one is dead, I don’t know when the next one will arrive.
Lin Qi waved her hand, "I'm just going to walk around here to get familiar with the place, and I'll be back soon."
Hemei wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
It was obvious that she had an agenda, so she had better not be annoying.
Lin Qi used her body skills in the jungle, and used her lightning skills to the extreme. Her whole figure was like a streak of lightning rushing through the surroundings.
She didn't lie to Hemei.
When going out for a walk, one is to practice lower body skills, and the other is to familiarize yourself with the terrain and take a look at the surroundings, so as not to know which way to run when encountering evil cultivators in the future.
Of course, I also wanted to find out about Senior Sister Yuan Xi.
Sometimes, Lin Qi had to lament that people who are unlucky will have bad luck wherever they go.
She had only walked less than a hundred meters when she saw an evil cultivator in black squatting on a tree.
This man was probably responsible for being a scout. He looked around with vigilance, and happened to meet Lin Qi's eyes.
Their eyes met, the surroundings were too quiet, and it felt a little awkward for a moment.
The evil cultivator flew towards Lin Qi without thinking, and Lin Qi immediately drew her sword to deal with it.
The opponent had the foundation-building Dzogchen cultivation level. Lin Qi shattered his wrist with a sword, then swept across like the wind and cut the opponent's throat.
After the blood fell to the ground, it was accompanied by the sound of a human body falling to the ground.
Lin Qi jumped to the opponent's original position, followed his posture and looked around, not missing the dozens of evil cultivators hiding in the woods.
Are you preparing for a sneak attack?
Isn't it too arrogant to go into the woods in broad daylight?
Moreover, the evil cultivator's stronghold in Huangcheng has been taken away recently. Why are there still so many minions?
Before Lin Qi could figure out her problem, she was discovered by the evil cultivators.
"Oops, exposed!"
Both sides came up with the same idea at the same time.
A group of evil cultivators had serious faces and attacked Lin Qi without even thinking.
They were probably also curious, how could they provoke Lin Qi if they acted so covertly?
Moreover, isn’t there no one in the North Forest Area during the day?!
