Today's Xianmen elegant pig slaughter

The world seems to have become different.
But it seems that there is no difference.

At noon the next day, the scorching sun rose in the east, and when the first ray of morning light shone in front of the Taohualing Cave, Nan Fuguang, with dark circles under his eyes from staying up late, walked to the butcher who had gotten up at some point in his life.

The man had a keen sense of hearing, like a monk. He knew the moment Nan Fuguang's footsteps approached, but he did not turn around. He just moved his back slightly to let her know that he had heard her movements.

Not like a monk.
Nan Fuguang thought expressionlessly.
It is a large cat that becomes nothing more than a lazy skeleton once the sun rises.

Seeing that this person was alive and well today, Nan Fuguang felt relieved.
She was like a pitiful dying cat that was picked up in a storm and was only breathing its last breath. She was worried day and night that it would die without any notice.

"Today's news?"

He reached over the man's shoulder from behind and took away today's latest copy of "Three Realms Gossip" from his hand.
Ever since she left a random message on the mobile version that caused Xie Yunxing to be banned, she no longer wanted to lend her her copy, so Nan Fuguang had to pay for a copy himself.

I opened today's "Three Realms Insider" and quickly browsed through the news of the day. As expected, it was all related to the "Wild Hunting" phenomenon last night. It was not just a nightmare. All the people in the immortal world watched and witnessed this grand phenomenon from the sky last night.

Rumors spread everywhere, and the face of the "leader" of the "hunt" was magnified countless times and placed on the most conspicuous front page headline. The title "Divine Phoenix or Valkyrie, Warning or Year of Harvest" was eye-catching enough.

After checking the mobile version, I saw all kinds of comments. People generally accepted the "auspicious sign" statement, and comments warning of "falling stars" were drowned out by the rapid pace of the latest discussions.

Lu Sang therefore gained a new title in the Three Realms: the Valkyrie symbolizing a good harvest.

Very loud.

Nan Fuguang tapped the butcher's shoulder with the rolled-up bamboo slips in his hand: "Do you know that the Dayi Mine is a famous ice-free port in the Mishi Land? In the twelfth month, when the Kunfa Continent is covered with heavy snow, it is only slightly cooler there... The people there may have never seen snow in their lives."

The man finally turned around and gave her a puzzled look.

Obviously, I don't know why she mentioned the geography and climate of the Da Ri Mine when she was watching today's "Three Realms Gossip" -

There is no sudden addition of a geography and climate section on today's bamboo slips.

"One day, the Ice-Free Port finally freezes over, and even the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Do you think this is surprising enough? How does it compare to the ominous sign of the 'Wild Hunt'? Or the image of the leader of the 'Wild Hunt' is materialized, and people discover that she has the face of the savior of the immortal world? Compared with these things, which one do you think is more worthy of being on the front page of 'Three Realms Gossip'?"

"what are you saying?"

I mean, did it really snow at the Great Sun Mine?

Nan Fuguang knew that this matter probably had no beginning or end, and it didn’t even have anything to do with the “Wild Hunting” phenomenon or Lu Sang.

She just had too many questions.

She walked around the butcher and came to him, threw the bamboo slips back onto his legs and sat cross-legged. Because of the height difference, she tilted her head slightly to look at him: "How are you feeling today?"

"Not bad, just one step away from death." The butcher stared into her eyes and answered calmly, "Are you going to keep talking illogically like this all morning?"

"No, I was going to take you to breakfast, but I was afraid you'd feel like vomiting again, so I asked first."

"I won't feel like vomiting unless your master shows up."

"…You are in his territory."

"Oh, so what?"

The butcher suddenly paused and his expression became a little strange again. Nan Fuguang asked him what was wrong, and the latter simply reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled it towards him.

I was really shocked when my wrist fell into the warm palm.

But the feeling was different from when Yan Ji'an came close to him without any warning before. Perhaps it was because direct contact had temperature. In addition to feeling slightly surprised, Nan Fuguang also felt his eyelids and heart thumping unusually and abruptly.

Soon, Nan Fuguang stopped wondering what the specific difference was.

Because the butcher, who had no regard for her personal privacy, took her hand and placed it in the hole in his chest that was getting bigger day by day.

Nan Fuguang opened his mouth and wanted to scream.

But before she could make a sound, she felt as if her hand was stretched into a cold pool. Her hair stood up and something furry in the pool nudged the back of her hand.

Nan Fuguang took a deep breath.

The screams early in the morning almost blew off the roof of the Taohualing Cave.

……

Nan Fuguang's face was as white as paper.

As she was frantically trying to recall what she felt on the back of her hand, she vaguely heard the butcher's explanation that it seemed that in the final battle at the Dayi Mine, one of the giant beasts was seriously injured and hid in his stomach when in danger.

So the fact that his wound is so strange now is not entirely Nan Fuguang’s responsibility.

Nan Fuguang wondered why it wasn't entirely her responsibility?
If it was the one with nine tails, she summoned it.
If it was the one who was injured by the nine tails, then it was the thing she summoned that injured him.

She retracted her hand, still in a daze. Until today, she firmly believed that the butcher was playing some morning sickness trick on her, but she didn't expect that he really had a -
Her scalp tingled when she thought of the horror novels or documentaries she had read in the past, where she saw how those unlucky guys were ripped open by alien creatures, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"You look like a scumbag who just found out his lover is pregnant and doesn't want to take responsibility and wants to abandon him. Why?" the butcher asked, "Because your master finally asked you to marry him in public yesterday, so it's not convenient for you to get pregnant with another man for the time being?"

"..."

Oh yes, there is also this. Thanks for reminding me.

This person is very good at bringing up things that are not related to the topic.

Nan Fuguang’s headache hurts even more now.

"Is this a necessary joke?"
Even though he had just woken up in the early morning, Nan Fuguang already felt tired.
"I don't know if you have the common sense and awareness you should have. If you have something like this in your stomach, you might die."

"I don't think it's malicious."

"..."

Nan Fuguang stared at the butcher in silence, guessing that the one in his stomach must be the one with only one eye.
After all, that thing can easily drive people crazy, and make them commit suicide for it without hesitation or sacrifice themselves in various postures.

Just like what the butcher is showing now.

"I won't let you die over it."

"Thank you. I didn't intend to do that, but you seem a little less of a scumbag by taking responsibility for no reason."

"...Please don't put other people's hands in your stomach anymore."

"Ok."

“………………My hands can’t do that either.”

"Ok."

Judging from the speed with which the man agreed and his expression, Nan Fuguang suspected that he didn't hear a single word he said.

……

The hour of Chen has arrived.

Nan Fuguang led the butcher away from Taohualing. Before she summoned the Qingguang Sword and was about to fly it, she hesitated for a rare moment and turned her head to look in the direction of the main peak. She found that the mountain range that was surrounded by white mist and full of spiritual energy in the past seemed a little different today...
The fog seems to have thinned a little.
The peaks of several mountains, whose true appearance had not been seen for decades, can now be seen.

It could also be an illusion.

Arriving at the dining hall, although she couldn't open her mouth to persuade him that he was now one body with two mouths, such outrageous words. Today's dining hall was no different from the past, and even more lively. Everyone was talking about all the gossip that happened yesterday.
About "Wild Hunt".
About the face of the junior sister of Yuntian Sect who appeared in "Wild Hunt".
About "making a covenant".
Concerning the "covenant" relationship in which Immortal Yunshang actively sought union with the eldest senior sister of Yuntian Sect and was abandoned by her.
About "moving".
About the junior sister who is currently living in Taoting, she is suddenly going to move out of Chixue Peak today and go to live alone at Chiyue Peak which is opposite to Chiri Peak.

……Um?

Among various topics, Nan Fuguang caught the freshest one. He never expected that Yan Ji'an would actually let Lu Sang move. Didn't they fail to reach an agreement on this matter yesterday?
People around were chatting happily, and they seemed to want to finish gossiping or come to a conclusion in the cafeteria with a bowl of soy milk before leaving.

When Nan Fuguang stepped over the threshold of the dining hall, a small silence broke out again. The looks cast at him were similar to those of the previous few days, mixed with curiosity, contempt, or understanding.

"It's Senior Sister."
“Ahhh, Senior Sister, are you really going to form a contract with the Immortal Lord? Then Junior Sister Lu Sang—wuwuwu!”
"Shut your mouth, my junior sister is still here!"
"Is this confirmed?"
"I really didn't expect that the Immortal Venerable was the one who took the initiative to confirm in the end?"

Nan Fuguang responded with a perfunctory “uh uh” and just said that the matter needed further consideration.

"Then it was you who asked Junior Sister to move away from Scarlet Snow Peak, right?"

Everyone gathered around and asked about Nan Fuguang's wedding date. After all, they didn't dare to ask Yunshang Xianzun whether he felt threatened by the butcher brought back by the senior sister, so they could only ask her indirectly...

Nan Fuguang said "no" as his eyes wandered towards Lu Sang, and found the little junior sister huddled in the shadows in the corner, not saying a word. Her face was pale and there were bruises under her eyes. Contrary to her usual practice, today the little junior sister was not surrounded by all the messy fellow disciples and was alone.

As if she felt Nan Fuguang's gaze, she raised her head, and their eyes met. She paused, then lowered her head again in silence.

"Did you see the strange phenomenon in the sky yesterday, Senior Sister? My Three Pure Ones, I never thought I would see this in my lifetime! My senior brother said that this phenomenon is completely foreign, so rare that if you are not well-read, you may not even have heard of it!"
"Yes, yes! It's called the 'Wild Hunt' phenomenon. I only found out about it from today's 'Three Realms Gossip'. We discussed it all night last night, but no one could guess what it was, hahahaha!"
"You seem quite happy."
"Is it okay to be touched by my own ignorance?"

Someone mentioned the strange phenomenon that happened in the sky last night, and everyone's attention was diverted and they started discussing it again.

Nan Fuguang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that these people had such erratic thoughts. Although it was a good thing that they no longer bothered about the bond between her and Yan Ji'an, "bond" and "yesterday's strange phenomenon in the sky" had nothing to do with each other. What connection could make them mention it at the same time?

"Did you see it? The leader had the face of Junior Sister Lu Sang. Just after the Immortal Venerable proposed a formal contract with the Senior Sister."
"Yes, the Divine Phoenix is ​​indeed majestic. Have you seen today's "Three Realms Gossip"? They gave it a new nickname: Valkyrie."

Nan Fuguang moved her lips, ready to happily join the discussion that was gradually drifting off into something that had nothing to do with her.

Nan Fuguang said tactfully: "This nickname is quite interesting."

There were immediate voices of opposition around me.

"What do you mean by 'Valkyrie'? This nickname is quite stupid. Are you going to give my junior sister new titles year after year like Yunshang Xianzun did? What's that expression on your face? What do you want to say?"

His eyes were focused on the inner sect disciple who was fired upon. He looked like an ordinary person, and his cultivation level was also ordinary. Nan Fuguang did not recognize him.

He responded positively to the provocation: "I didn't mean to say anything. The appearance of 'Wild Hunt' has its own meaning. It reminds us that the True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix have been born one after the other and everything is steadily getting better. But it may also be a warning to someone. The True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix have been born together since ancient times and cannot be separated or reversed...Ah! Why are you hitting me!"

The inner disciples who were beaten felt very aggrieved.

The one who beat him was another female disciple from the Weapon Refining Pavilion whose name Nan Fuguang couldn't even remember. She was the first one to start the fight. Now she glared and cursed, "Why are you being so sarcastic? The senior sister is standing here. Does that mean she's trying to steal your love?!"

The male disciple who had been chattering away before shut up, but his eyes rolled around in grievance, and he muttered for a while: "I just want to say that Junior Sister Lu Sang was disappointed in love this morning, but was deified that night due to a strange phenomenon. She is favored by the heavens, and she is worthy of being a divine phoenix."

Nan Fuguang listened to their discussion quietly, and then he suddenly realized that many people interpreted yesterday's strange phenomenon as the Grand Master, Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree, or the Jade Emperor, or anyone in short, trying to get back at Junior Sister Lu Sang who had lost her Taoist partner in her previous life.

——Now Lu Sang has lost his love, but has gained deeper respect and love from the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

Nan Fuguang: “…”

Today is magical.

Nan Fuguang didn't know what to say about this. She looked through the crowd and found the person sitting in the corner. She was curled up in an inconspicuous place with a small bite of fried dough stick in front of her...
Lu Sang obviously heard the argument.
At this moment, he was lowering his head and tearing the fried dough stick into small pieces and throwing them into the bowl. His face was flushed from face to neck.

She was obviously overwhelmed as well.

This farce.

Nan Fuguang retracted his gaze and asked with a sluggish face, "Why, do you like to gossip about these things in front of me?"

The crowd seemed to finally realize what was going on, and they dispersed with a smile and laughter.

Before leaving, a few of them were still unwilling to give up and stole a peek at the man behind her. Today's series of discussions had nothing to do with him at all. However, this butcher, who was originally considered to have a humble job, has now gained a new identity in the rumors: the lover of the eldest senior sister of the Yuntian Sect.

This person is also the culprit.
Without his encouragement, it would be unknown when Immortal Master Yunshang would be able to personally ask for a formal contract with the Senior Sister.
That way Shen Feng wouldn't have to face the loss of her love so quickly.
The Heavenly Dao is not that anxious to use the strange phenomena to help the Divine Phoenix regain its ground...
By the way, what does the face-to-face assistant do?
Maybe on the second day after the eldest sister and the Immortal Lord formed a covenant, she would give the Immortal Lord respectful tea?
........................
Anyway, that’s how stories are told in mortal worldly stories.

Nan Fuguang wanted to block the strange gazes of the many inner disciples, but she was unable to do so. After all, the man behind her was as strong as a mountain, and she was the one who was overshadowed by the mountain. She turned her head, stared at his tall nose with difficulty, and asked him what he wanted to eat in a tone that was obviously changing the subject.

"Rice porridge."

There is no emotion in these two words.

Nan Fuguang handed him the rice porridge and
Argument: "I didn't expect so many people. They should have gone to morning classes by now."

What she said was true.

She had guessed that there would be a lot of discussion today where there were crowds of people, so she dawdled for a while at Chiri Peak before reaching the canteen. Now she was a little confused that she had arrived during the morning rush hour.

After Nan Fuguang even sat firmly, he immediately cast a spell to check the time, and then found that the golden light floating in the air took a long time to gather into a decent word, and it slowly showed "Chenshi".

There are no specific moments afterwards.

"?"

The eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect had a lot of question marks on her forehead. The spell was just the simplest time-telling spell in the world of immortal cultivation. Many children born in immortal cultivation families might be able to master it before they learn to speak fluently. She never thought in her life that she would have the day to cast the missing spell.

She's a little confused.

"What's wrong?" asked the butcher.

Nan Fuguang rubbed his fingers and said, "When you chop the pork bones, do you worry about chopping your hands?"

The man raised an eyebrow, as if she had asked a stupid question.

Seeing his matter-of-fact look, Nan Fuguang became even more uncertain: "Just now, I seem to have been chopped."

The butcher certainly had no idea what she was talking about; that could be seen from the way he looked like he was listening seriously but was actually not paying attention.
Nan Fuguang pointed out his hypocrisy, and the latter said innocently: "Maybe it's just your ancestor reminding you to work hard and not be absent or late for the morning class today."

Nan Fuguang gritted his teeth, feeling that he was being provoked.

——No one can question her efforts. She is sure that she is the only cultivator in the Three Realms and Six Paths who has good resources (such as Yunshang Immortal and his dragon treasure house) and can reach the Golden Core stage without relying on herself.

Your sincerity is evident.

She is definitely not just a fool with a title.

"If you say one more thing like I'm not diligent and my cultivation is declining, you will be beaten."

"Oh."

"..."
Again.
"You're always trying to piss me off."
Nan Fuguang felt it was very unfair.
"But the first thing I worry about when I wake up is whether you are dead or not. I worry about how to successfully convince everyone to go to the Track Star Pavilion to borrow the treasure to heal you. I am also afraid that they will look down on you as a mortal and speak rudely to you."

The butcher was stunned for a rare moment. It was obvious that this kind of emotion was very unfamiliar to him, so he restrained his usually annoying lazy smile.
He suddenly felt the existence of his body, as if the hole in his chest was causing him real pain and decay.
The skin becomes strangely sore and swollen.
It was as if vinegar was rushing out from all his orifices.

He had no way of telling Nan Fuguang that he actually felt that cultivation, magic, and breakthroughs were meaningless to him.

But at this moment, he did not argue, but just looked down into her eyes full of grievance and said softly: "I'm sorry."
