Chapter 76 Falling to Earth (9)
"Boom boom boom——"
Luo Zai Shui knocked on Su Wu Si's door, who was writing a self-criticism.
"Senior sister..."
Su Wusi stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow, casually picked up what she had written, and glanced at it quickly: "You're actually seriously writing this stuff?"
"Huh?" Su Wusi was taken aback. "Senior sister, aren't you going to write it? Do you want me to write it for you? After all, it's my fault for making you stand in the rain for so long. What if you develop a chronic illness..."
Luo Zai Shui suddenly laughed out loud, raised an eyebrow, took out a small booklet from her storage bag and tossed it to her: "I didn't expect you to be so honest about this matter."
Su Wusi opened the booklet and casually flipped through a few pages. He saw various self-criticism articles marked with titles such as "A 3,000-word self-criticism for degrading one's own body" and "A 3,000-word self-criticism for adventuring and hunting monsters."
"This is……?"
The handwriting looks somewhat familiar.
"Your senior brother and I have compiled our early self-criticisms. I don't know how Senior Sister Nie learned how to write self-criticisms from Senior Sister Ji. Fortunately, your senior brother and I wrote a lot of self-criticisms in the early years, all kinds of self-criticisms, big and small. Basically, you can just use the content in the collection."
When Luo Zai Shui talks about the past, she always has a smile on her face.
Su Wusi suddenly noticed: "It seems that Senior Brother wrote more self-criticisms."
Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "That's because I didn't want to write it back then, so my senior brother wrote it for me. Then it was discovered, and he was punished again."
Everywhere you look, there are all sorts of trivial matters concerning the senior brothers and sisters, such as secretly taking junior sisters down the mountain, junior sisters secretly following them when they go to hunt monsters without reporting to their master, and secretly bringing candy to junior sisters, etc...
Those were the senior brothers and sisters that Su Wusi had never met before.
"Before you came up the mountain, your senior brother and I were the most troublesome people on Xianyun Peak." Luo Zaishui sat casually on a stool, leaning against the table, tilting his head back, as if reminiscing about the past.
“At that time, my senior brother and I were the same age on the mountain. I was physically weak, but I was also very active. Our master and the others didn’t have time to take care of us, so Senior Sister Ji took care of the two of us by herself. I often encouraged my senior brother to lead me to do some bad things.”
"We picked plum blossoms from the back mountain, beat up that crane that kept squawking all day, secretly cut off our sect leader's beard, and stole my master's wine to bribe my senior sister to take us down the mountain..."
Su Wusi suddenly understood why the noisy crane had become so quiet when it saw its senior brothers and sisters; it had been disciplined before.
Perhaps Luo's experience in the water was indeed interesting, because a smile unconsciously appeared on Su Wusi's face.
“So…” Luo Zai Shui turned around, sat up straight, and looked at her quietly, “Xianyun Peak is not only your home, but also mine. I will not allow anyone to lay a hand on Xianyun Peak.”
Su Wusi replied without hesitation, "Senior Sister, I believe you!"
"Do you know why I wanted you to say it?" Luo Zai Shui suddenly asked.
"No...don't know..."
She seemed to have never understood her senior, didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't know why she did what she did.
“Because I want to take a gamble.” Luo Zai Shui tapped the table rhythmically with his fingertips. “I suspect that Heaven deliberately sent me here. Since it needs my help, it shouldn’t mind if I have an extra bit of assistance.”
"The Way of Heaven?"
Su Wusi was somewhat incredulous; how could such an unseen and intangible being do such a thing?
“Yes.” Luo Zai Shui explained her guess in detail. “I jumped into an underground river in the abyss in a moment of panic when I got here. But my senior brother told me that they had searched the underground river carefully and found no passage to the human world. Moreover, I had some doubts when the incident happened here. Now that I think about it carefully, the bird that suddenly rushed towards me and my senior brother was also abnormal. The demon beasts were all rushing towards that unknown rock, but that bird was intentionally approaching us… Is all of this really just a coincidence? Or was it deliberately arranged by someone?”
“Or perhaps…” Luo Zai Shui suddenly looked at Su Wu Si, “Your arrival is also an arrangement of Heaven, as is mine. Therefore, it should not stop things that are beneficial to it, or it may stop them symbolically without causing us any real harm.”
Su Wusi was skeptical of Luo Zaishui's bold guess; her arrival was indeed inexplicable, but...
"Our last lightning strike..."
Luo Zai Shui suddenly smiled: "The lightning was indeed powerful at the time, but thinking about it carefully later, even without the talisman, we wouldn't have been in any danger. I later heard my master say that the lightning was strange. Although it looked like lightning for tribulation, it wasn't much different from ordinary lightning. It was just that there were more of them, which made it look scary, but it didn't have much of an impact on us."
Su Wusi was stunned. Did Heaven really allow her to say it?
Luo Zai Shui smiled and pulled out a lightning-avoidance talisman, waving it in front of her: "Want to give it a try?"
Looking at Luo Zai Shui's smiling face, Su Wu Si felt inexplicably at ease. Her throat bobbed, and after a moment of hesitation, she spoke: "Back then, quite a few things did happen in the mortal realm..."
Thunder did indeed fall, but it was just ordinary thunder. However, Luo Zai Shui clearly sensed that Su Wu Si trembled.
Seeing that no lightning struck, Su Wusi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "At that time, Xianyun Peak had already... Senior Brother Ye Xiao took me back to Wanjian Sect because of you, Senior Sister. In order to avoid the Wen family's search, I disguised myself as a man and served as a menial disciple of Wanjian Sect for a period of time. Then one day, there was suddenly news that the Ghost King had descended upon the human world."
"The Wen family had no intention of rescuing anyone, and even forbade other sects and aristocratic families from coming to rescue them, but quite a few disciples and aristocratic family members still came with the help of Senior Brother Chu."
Luo Zai Shui frowned, pondering the current situation. It seemed that this matter had been premeditated.
"and then?"
“At that time, Senior Brother Ye was one of them. I thought that as a disciple of Xianyun Peak, I should also stand up, so I went with him... At that time, the human world had become a purgatory.”
Luo tapped the edge of the table: "So how did you finally deal with the Ghost King?"
Su Wusi seemed to recall the terrifying scene at the time, her hands trembling slightly: "The seal was sealed by Senior Brother Chu. At that time, Senior Brother Ye, several other senior brothers and sisters from the sword path, and I restrained the Ghost King together. Senior Brother Chu was responsible for setting up the seal, and that's how the matter was resolved."
Luo Zai Shui nodded. With Chu Ye Li's talent, sealing the Ghost King would indeed be no problem after a few more years of training.
"Didn't you investigate afterwards?" Luo Zai Shui still hadn't gotten the key information he wanted. "How did they break the barrier? Didn't you investigate?"
Su Wusi gave a wry smile: "I did investigate. Just a few days later, the Wen family received the news that the Chu family and Linghai Sect had followed in the footsteps of Xianyun Peak, and Senior Brother Chu was also seriously injured… Fortunately, Senior Sister Nie was there…"
Luo Zai Shui's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the surging emotions in her chest: "Aren't there any other useful clues?"
Su Wusi pondered for a moment: "Yes!"
"Back then, Senior Brother Chu sealed the Ghost King in Chizhou. He said he would put him back in wherever he crawled out. Therefore, the broken barrier is located in Chizhou!"
Upon receiving this news, Luo Zai Shui roughly planned his itinerary; it seemed he would have to head to Chizhou.
"Alright, you should get some rest." Luo Zai Shui got up and ruffled her fluffy head. "You've worked hard. Also, I apologize for what I said today. Get some rest."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
We need to hurry, much faster, we must stop this.
