“Ji！”
After seeing the bathtub behind Xu Taiping that exuded a strong medicinal smell, the little monkey Ping’an shrank in fear and backed away again and again.
“Just throw the letter to me.”
Xu Taiping stretched out his hand to the little monkey Ping’an with a bit of helplessness.
A few days ago, after he poured the acupoint-opening soup into the bathtub, he went out because of something. Unexpectedly, the little monkey happened to slip in. Out of curiosity, it actually jumped in and soaked for a while. As a result, it was so painful that it was paralyzed in it and took several days to recover after being raised in the gourd.
From then on, whenever it saw the bathtub, it would walk around it.
“It’s, it’s the messenger of the Seventh Peak Master, who, who sent it.”
The little monkey stretched out its hand long and handed the letter to Xu Taiping.
Because Xu Taiping didn’t intend to deliberately hide the existence of Ping’an, so generally when he was not there, it was Ping’an who was looking after the yard. So now when there is a letter delivered, it will take a few merit coins to get it by itself.
Is the Peak Master sending a letter again? Could it be related to Elder Sansan? Come to think of it, I’ve been practicing swordsmanship for eight or nine days and haven’t even seen Elder Sansan. Could it be that he’s not satisfied with my performance?
Xu Taiping guessed worriedly.
After opening the letter, what came into Xu Taiping’s eyes was still a line of very scrawled big characters.
It took him quite a while to finally recognize it –
Old Xi was chopped. All of you who haven’t secluded yourselves, come and gather at Baicao Hall on the peak for me！
Compared to the sloppy handwriting, the writing style of the letter was much more popular.
Old Xi？ Senior Brother Xi？ Senior Brother Xi was chopped？
Xu Taiping had a look of surprise on his face and was also completely confused.
His Senior Brother Xi on the Seventh Peak was originally named Zhou Liang. Later, because he was crazy about knives, he first changed his name to Zhou Yidao.
Although the two of them didn’t have much contact, as far as he knew, Senior Brother Xi’s cultivation had already reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Wangyou Realm, and his knife skills were extremely excellent. There were actually not many opponents at the same realm.
Go and take a look and you’ll know.
He shook his head and decided not to think about so much for the time being.
So he quickly put on his clothes, and while releasing Bai Yu from the gourd, he also told it and Ping An, “I’m going to the Hundred Herbs Hall on the Seventh Peak. You two stay at home and don’t let anyone in. If someone tries to break in, you go into Fan Lou and lock the door of Fan Lou.”
“Okay, Xu Taiping.”
Ping An nodded obediently.
“Got it！”
Bai Yu, on the other hand, was lying on Ping An’s head, yawning continuously.
“Oh right, I still have to leave a message for Elder San San. In case he comes today and doesn’t find me, that would be bad.”
Just as his body had just rushed out of the Rainbow Bridge, Xu Taiping turned around again.
He saw that he rushed back to the courtyard in a hurry, took a relatively flat and clean wooden board in the courtyard, and then while quickly carving words on it, he rushed towards the Moon Fishing Pool.
……
The Seventh Peak.
The Hundred Herbs Hall.
The disciples of the Seventh Peak who were injured would almost all come here for treatment.
When Xu Taiping arrived, almost all nine disciples of this generation of the Seventh Peak were present.
He even saw the eldest senior sister who had never shown up before.
In addition, Xu Taiping saw at a glance the unconscious Senior Brother Xi, Zhou Yidao, lying on the hospital bed.
“Senior Brother Xi was actually injured so severely？”
Xu Taiping was really quite surprised.
He was able to sense that Senior Brother Xi’s aura was extremely weak at this time, but strangely, there was only a knife wound on his chest.
“The knife energy at the wound on his chest is a bit strange. It is constantly eroding the true qi and blood in his body.”
The voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind.
“No wonder he is so weak.”
Xu Taiping suddenly understood in his heart.
“However, his wound has been treated by the doctors of your Seven Peaks. After enduring for a while, he should be able to wake up.”
Fairy Lingyue continued.
Xu Taiping nodded slightly and let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Although they were not very familiar, as disciples of the Seven Peaks, naturally they didn’t want to see anything happen to Senior Brother Xi.
“Taiping, come here, come here.”
At this time, Zhao Linglong finally noticed Xu Taiping and immediately waved to him in a low voice.
“Senior Sister.”
Xu Taiping quickly walked over.
“Senior Sister, what exactly happened to Senior Brother Xi？”
He asked Zhao Linglong in a low voice.
At this time, the Peak Master was still discussing something with Second Senior Brother Qingxiao and Senior Sister. It seemed that they had no intention of paying attention to them for a while.
“I don’t really know what exactly happened. We have to see what Daddy and Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother have to say.”
Zhao Linglong shook her head.
She had been in seclusion practicing swordsmanship during this period and didn’t know much about the outside world.
“Cough cough cough…”
At this time, the peak master Zhao Qian suddenly coughed a few times, suppressing the commotion in the hall, and then waved to everyone and said, “Come to the main hall, don’t disturb Old Xi’s rest. Let’s talk outside if there is anything.”
……
Inside the main hall of Hundred Herbs Hall.
“Since everyone is here, you, the second one, tell everyone about Old Xi’s matter.”
After coming to the main hall, Zhao Qian looked at Qing Xiao beside him.
Qing Xiao nodded, and then cleared his throat and said：
“Everyone, at midnight yesterday, a disciple patrolling the mountain found Old Xi seriously injured and unconscious on Ziyun Slope. When he was brought to Hundred Herbs Hall, he almost couldn’t be saved.”
“Even more strangely, Doctor Liu of Hundred Herbs Hall only saw one wound on Old Xi, and it was a not very serious knife wound.”
“Later, after Doctor Liu’s careful diagnosis and treatment, he finally discovered that there was a strange saber qi on this knife wound, which was constantly eroding Old Xi’s true qi and blood qi.”
“After discovering this, Doctor Liu and the peak master joined hands and finally snatched Old Xi’s life back from the gate of hell.”
After hearing this, the disciples in the hall were in an uproar.
Xu Taiping, on the other hand, secretly admired Fairy Lingyue in his heart. After all, just as she came in, she was able to say almost all of Senior Brother Xi’s injuries by sensing with her spiritual soul.
“So, the one who seriously injured Senior Brother Xi is also a person who uses a knife？”
Zhao Linglong said in surprise.
“Judging from the wound, the other party indeed used a knife, but whether it is a person is not certain.”
Qing Xiao said with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked again, feeling that Second Senior Brother’s words had a hidden meaning.
“Second Senior Brother, do you mean that the one who injured Senior Brother Xi is not a human, but a demon？”
The eighth, Wu Liang, couldn’t help but ask.
Qing Xiao didn’t answer, but looked at the eldest senior sister beside him.
The eldest senior sister of the Seventh Peak is named Jiang Zhi. She is a woman with a very petite figure and a delicate face like a porcelain doll. If Zhao Linglong hadn’t introduced this eldest senior sister to Xu Taiping, you could say that she is Zhao Linglong’s younger sister, and Xu Taiping would believe it.
“You haven’t been in the Seventh Peak for a long time, and you probably haven’t heard the legend of the Red-haired Saber Ghost, right？”
The eldest senior sister asked Xu Taiping and the others with her extremely clear and pleasant voice.
