Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature

#186 - I Shouldn't Be Under the Bed

Duan Yun and the Murong brothers finally got their wish and became gatekeepers.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered that the life of a gatekeeper was not ideal.

Duan Yun thought the life of a gatekeeper would be leisurely: watching the gate, drinking tea, and secretly digging a cellar in his residence, so that when the Murong brothers encountered his sister, he could quickly capture her and get her treated.

If his sister could be saved, then as a righteous young hero, he would also try to save the entire Qiong Ling Sect.

His goal was to restore every female sword immortal of the Qiong Ling Sect to purity, to redeem those who had been sold into prostitution, and to insure those who hadn't, preventing them from ever being sold again.

The thought of saving so many female sword immortals suddenly excited the young hero Duan.

After all, he liked saving people.

Unfortunately, on their first day on the job, they encountered a very terrifying superior.

Just like many wealthy families have butlers, the Qiong Ling Sect also had a manager to oversee them.

It was a middle-aged woman with only one eye, half of her face missing, and one hand charred like a burnt branch.

When she emerged from the dark room, even Duan Yun and the two old devils, the Murong brothers, were a little scared.

First of all, the woman's appearance was truly frightening, and she also had a truly terrifying aura.

In Duan Yun's eyes, she looked a lot like the director of the teaching affairs office in his previous life's school.

And like her appearance, she herself was quite strict, even somewhat harsh.

"The Qiong Ling Sect doesn't support idlers. Everyone has to work hard every day. If you don't do well, you'll have to leave."

"Of course, there are no easy jobs. If you're idle, there will be other jobs."

"Everyone is treated equally."

This was the instruction given to Duan Yun and the other servants by the manager, Li, and she implemented it accordingly.

The Murong brothers and Duan Yun were stationed at different gatehouses.

Duan Yun guarded the Sword Pavilion area, while the Murong brothers were near the mountain gate.

The Murong brothers felt that this job was not easy. He had to respond to the Qiong Ling Sect members entering and exiting, recording their visits, and clean the surrounding roads and courtyards whenever he had time.

As a result, as soon as he finished his work and sat down, before he could even take a sip of water, the woman came again.

"There shouldn't be any distinguished guests visiting today. I'll watch for you while you go wash the clothes."

So the Murong brothers, as gatekeepers, had to carry a large basket of clothes to wash.

He, the dignified young master Murong, who hadn't moved much in two years, actually had to wash clothes for others.

The key was, he wouldn't have minded, even would have been happy, to wash clothes for fragrant female sword immortals who were sweating profusely from training, but the clothes in this basket were clearly those of servants.

Did that mean he had become the lowest of the low among the servants?

The Murong brothers couldn't help but wonder what Duan Yun was doing.

Surely he wasn't suffering here while the other was enjoying himself?

Outside the Qiong Ling Sect's mountain gate was a large turquoise lake. Inside the mountain gate, water from the turquoise lake was drawn in, forming a lake of considerable size.

At this time of year, there were some withered lotus leaves in the lake, suggesting that in the height of summer, it would be a beautiful scene of continuous lotus leaves.

The place where the Qiong Ling Sect washed clothes was located here.

The Murong brothers took out two stinky coarse cloth clothes and began to wash them, muttering curses as he did so.

But after a while, he stopped cursing, even smiled.

Because he saw Duan Yun also carrying a basket of clothes towards him.

It seemed that this guy was no better off than him, and had to wash clothes too.

"You were also called here to wash clothes?" The Murong brothers gloated.

Duan Yun couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, there's a lot to do as a gatekeeper. By the way, did you find anything on your side?"

The Murong brothers suddenly became excited and said, "Yes, several women came out and looked at me. Their expressions were also very gentle."

Duan Yun said, "Really? The ones I encountered were all cold."

The Murong brothers became completely proud.

It seemed that Old Devil Duan's handsomeness was not suited to this place, and this would ultimately be his territory.

But when he saw the clothes that Duan Yun took out of his basket, the Murong brothers' expression changed.

"Aren't these the clothes of the senior sisters?" The Murong brothers asked in surprise.

"Yes," Duan Yun said.

The next moment, the Murong brothers had already come to the bamboo basket, picking up the clothes one by one and sniffing them frantically.

Seeing this, Duan Yun was shocked and said, "What are you doing? Are you a pervert?"

The Murong brothers, while sniffing intensely, said, "You don't know, my sister and I are always attracted to each other, including by smell."

"Really?"

Duan Yun couldn't help but look at the Murong brothers' perverted behavior with the eyes of a pervert.

It had to be said that this was really too perverted.

So much so that Duan Yun didn't even want to say that he knew him.

The Murong brothers had already smelled almost twice over, and Duan Yun quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't smell anymore, I'm going to wash them. Did you get any results?"

The Murong brothers shook his head and said, "No, let me smell carefully again."

"Get lost!"

Duan Yun couldn't help but curse.

After that, the two began to wash clothes.

The Murong brothers asked, "What do you think of Yu Zhenzhen?"

Duan Yun said, "Do you think she's your sister?"

"No! Definitely not!" The Murong brothers said decisively.

Duan Yun asked in confusion, "So sure?"

The Murong brothers continued to ask, "I'm asking you! What do you think of her?"

Duan Yun pondered, "Not bad, at least she's not blind."

The Murong brothers couldn't help but cough and said with a serious face, "What do you think of me?"

Duan Yun looked at this face that he had whitened and scar-removed and said, "Not bad, could it be that you have ideas about this senior sister?"

The Murong brothers suddenly laughed and said, "I always feel that she's different from others."

"How is she different?"

"I think she's not a superficial person, she can always see my special qualities at a glance, otherwise why would she have decided to recruit me so quickly."

Hearing the Murong brothers' description, a strong warning suddenly arose in Duan Yun's mind.

She might be his sister!

The more this guy said that, the more he acted like it.

Looking at the Murong brothers' absent-minded appearance, Duan Yun couldn't help but joke, "Let me think, you're a young master of the Murong family, and the Murong family and the Qiong Ling Sect are old friends, wouldn't that make you a good match for this Qiong Ling Sect's eldest senior sister?"

The Murong brothers quickly said modestly, "No, no, these kinds of things depend on both sides being willing, how can you look at family background."

Duan Yun said, "It's said that a good horse should be matched with a good saddle, how can you not look at family background in this kind of thing, the Qiong Ling Sect's eldest senior sister can't be matched with a single man like me."

The Murong brothers suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Actually, you don't have to care about this, fate, when it comes, you can't stop it."

Duan Yun asked again, "She really isn't your sister?"

The Murong brothers denied, "No, absolutely not! Before, when I met my sister, the feeling of attraction was very strong. You know how turtles feel about green beans, that's the kind of feeling. But for the senior sister, I only have this special, faint feeling of affection."

Thinking that Yu Zhenzhen didn't even look at him, and recruited him as a gatekeeper, the Murong brothers felt a sweet feeling in his heart.

Only this kind of extremely individual and non-superficial woman could allow him to be ahead of Old Devil Duan.

For a time, the Murong brothers was in a great mood, washing all the stinky socks and clothes with great energy.

There were some carp in the lake, and they swayed away with the movement of the water.

At this time, the two noticed that there was also a black awning boat fishing on the lake.

This Qiong Ling Sect was also making a living off the water.

At night, in the deepest part of the Qiong Ling Sect's Sword Pavilion, there was a courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests.

This courtyard was called "Guanyin Zen Temple" and was the residence of the Qiong Ling Sect's master, Gu Xue.

Rumor had it that the Qiong Ling Sect was harmed by Old Devil Duan, which made it easier to encounter tribulations when cultivating, leading to rampant lust, so that several female sword immortals left to work in brothels, becoming a rare and amusing tale in the martial world.

Since then, the sect master, Gu Xue, began to believe in Buddhism, wanting to calm her mind with the image of Guanyin, in order to solve this sect's problem.

And this Guanyin Zen Temple surrounded by bamboo forests was said to be modeled after the real Guanyin Zen Temple in the South Sea.

At this time, when the wind blew, the sound of the bamboo was like waves, accompanied by the rising sandalwood incense, this courtyard really had a Zen-like feel.

The sect master, Gu Xue, was sitting on a prayer mat, in front of her was a Guanyin statue nearly three zhang tall.

The light of the Buddhist lamp could only illuminate the lower half of the Guanyin statue, its face was completely shrouded in the darkness of the shadows, thus adding a bit of mystery to this hall.

Gu Xue was sitting there.

From here, her snow-white hair matched with a snow-white dress sitting under the Guanyin statue, had an unspeakable beauty of charm.

Her face wore a white mask without any patterns, just like a faceless person, appearing quite terrifying in this night.

Gu Xue had not shown her true face in the martial world for ten years. Some said that she had been disfigured ten years ago, and since then she had worn the white mask. Others said that she was extremely beautiful, and could not bear to see her face aging, so she did not show her true face.

There was also a saying that the sect master, Gu Xue, was also affected by Old Devil Duan, and was the most deeply affected, so she also secretly went out to receive guests.

But she was, after all, the master of a sect, so how could she show her true face.

In short, there were many rumors about her.

After all, whether it was the "liberated" Qiong Ling Sect, or her, the "White Dew Sword Immortal," were now the most popular topics in the martial world.

But looking from here, you would never associate her with "liberated nature."

Because her temperament was too cold and aloof, like snow on the mountain peaks, and like a meditating monk, as if she possessed the same temperament as Guanyin.

How could such a person liberate their nature?

"Are you aware that your disciple, Lin Chaolu, has turned over a new leaf?"

A solemn voice suddenly sounded in the originally silent hall.

But in the entire hall, besides Lin Chaolu, there was no one else.

She seemed to have long been accustomed to this voice and replied, "According to investigation, it was Old Devil Duan who tampered with her when treating her, so that she lost the originally uncontrollable lust."

"Without desire, there is no tribulation, and without tribulation, how can one reach the other shore. You initially wanted to save some face by using Old Devil Duan as an excuse, but you never thought that this little devil would dare to disturb our plan. If he dares to commit another offense, kill him directly."

"I understand."

Gu Xue said, looking at the Guanyin statue.

The dim environment did not illuminate the face of the Guanyin statue, but Gu Xue's eyes were very focused, even faintly fanatical, as if the Guanyin statue was a living thing.

If it wasn't a living thing, why would Gu Xue have this look, and where would this voice come from?

Gu Xue hesitated, and finally sighed softly.

No one noticed that the soil outside the main hall moved, and then returned to normal.

After washing the clothes and sweeping the floor, the Murong brothers and Duan Yun were finally relieved by the people on duty and got a moment to catch their breath.

At this moment, they also talked about the Qiong Ling Sect's master, Gu Xue, and why she no longer showed her original face.

"What being disfigured, not wanting to see people, what being old and fading, not wanting to face herself, the rumors in the martial world are all these sayings. But I know a saying that others don't know."

The experienced Murong brothers sat on the wooden bed in Duan Yun's gatehouse and talked eloquently.

"What saying?" Duan Yun asked curiously.

"I heard my mother say before that Sect Master Gu Xue looked for the Divine Doctor Xue when she was just an adult."

"And then?" Duan Yun was still confused.

It wasn't a rare thing for a woman to look for a divine doctor for treatment.

"According to my mother's saying, Sect Master Gu Xue had a temperament like snow on the mountain peaks since she was a child, exceptionally pure and cold, but her face was not naturally beautiful, and there was a gap with her fellow disciples, so she secretly asked the Divine Doctor Xue of the Jiangzhong Sect to shave her bones and pull her skin, and that's how she became beautiful.

But no matter how magical the Divine Doctor Xue's medical skills were, there were still drawbacks after all. The reason why the Sword Immortal Gu Xue no longer shows her original face may also be related to this," the Murong brothers said.

"Her face collapsed?"

What the Murong brothers said was a small and private rumor, but Duan Yun thought it was very likely.

In his previous life, there were countless cases of plastic surgery collapsing faces, let alone in this relatively backward martial arts world.

He had to admit that the Divine Doctor Xue of this Jiangzhong Sect, although a big mouth, still had some skills, and dared to shave bones and perform plastic surgery one step ahead of him.

He was currently only in the category of removing moles and whitening, and did not dare to use a big knife.

Duan Yun and the Murong brothers were just about to say something else, but the two closed their mouths at the same time.

"Someone's coming!"

The two were in the small house where Duan Yun was on duty, and the Murong brothers lived around the corner on the other side.

At this time, Duan Yun's door was knocked.

"Xu Xian, Gatekeeper Xu, are you there?"

This sounded like the voice of a young woman.

The Murong brothers wanted to go out, but the house only had one door and one window, all on one wall, and going out at this time would only bump into the woman.

And this woman was looking for Duan Yun in the middle of the night, maybe there was something going on.

Could it be a room check?

In order to avoid alarming the snake, Duan Yun pointed, and the Murong brothers drilled under the bed.

"I'm here," Duan Yun replied.

Duan Yun opened the door and saw a girl standing at the door.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a little baby fat on her snow-white cheeks, appearing beautiful and cute.

"Girl, what can I do for you?"

At this time, the girl opened her mouth and said, "There's nothing to do, you can call me Senior Sister Xiao Li. This is a wool fur coat for you, the frost is heavy here at night, I'm afraid you'll be frozen and won't be able to guard the door."

Saying that, the girl walked in and began to untie the wool fur coat on her body.

The wool fur coat she was going to give Duan Yun was actually the one she was wearing.

She stood by the bed, untying it very slowly, even slower than an ordinary woman taking off complicated clothes.

The Murong brothers was lying under the bed, not daring to breathe, only able to see her pair of small feet wearing white boots.

He couldn't help but wonder, thinking to himself, "Although being a gatekeeper requires doing so many chores, the treatment, pay is not bad, actually having a senior sister personally send wool coat over."

At this moment, she finally took off her wool coat, and Duan Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing her so slow just now, he couldn't wait to help her untie it.

At this moment, this Junior Sister Xiaoli revealed her graceful figure, and seeing Duan Yun looking at her, she couldn't help but say, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? I'm delivering something to you so late at night, shouldn't you thank me?"

Duan Yun reacted and quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Xiaoli, I didn't expect the gatekeeper's treatment to be so good."

Junior Sister Xiaoli smiled sweetly and said, "Silly, only your gatekeeper position has this treatment."

"Ah, don't other gatekeepers have it?"

"I only have this one piece, and I'm giving it all to you. Where would I find another one to give to unimportant people?" Junior Sister Xiaoli muttered.

Duan Yun quickly thanked her again, while the other "unimportant" gatekeeper was lying under the dark bed, with a dark face.

Could it be that it's for Old Devil Duan?

"How are you going to thank me?"

At this moment, the girl walked to the door and actually closed it.

The Murong brothers, lying under the bed, couldn't help but complain in their minds, "Closing the door? What are you going to do?"

Duan Yun said, "I'm new to the sect and don't know how to repay Senior Sister's kindness."

"Then help me massage my feet. I walked so far that my feet are sore."

As she spoke, the girl had already taken off her shoes, sat on the bed, and revealed a pair of white feet.

The Murong brothers, lying under the bed, had red eyes.

Such a good thing?

Old Devil Duan encountered such a good thing on his first day as a gatekeeper?

"Senior Sister, wouldn't this be inappropriate?" Duan Yun hesitated.

"Are you afraid of violating the sect rules and being blamed? Our Qiongling Sect is about cultivating the heart, and cultivating the heart is about experiencing tribulations, but if you encounter a tribulation that you can't escape, Master will understand."

"And you are the tribulation that I can't escape."

The girl shook her feet and explained.

The Murong brothers, lying under the bed, said with a sour face, "You can't escape on the first day?"

"Old Devil Duan attracts shallow women after all!"

Duan Yun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I do know a little about foot massage techniques, so I'll have to accept your kind offer."

Since a patient has come to my door, I'll use it as practice to test the depth of this Qiongling Sect's "illness"!

Finger Force Charm!

"I don't mind what you do... Oh~~~~"

The girl was penetrated by the "Finger Force Charm", and her whole body was like being electrocuted, and her mouth opened.

For Doctor Duan Yun, who had experimented on Feng Ling'er many times, he was familiar with all of this!

"Senior Sister, I can also massage your head."

Beiming Divine Skill!

The girl's true energy slowly entered Duan Yun's hand, and the lightning at his fingertips was ready to move.

The first time he shivered on Fu Wanjun, Duan Yun noticed that the other party's true energy was not right, and then he learned to treat illnesses with true energy.

And if there is a problem with the Qiongling Sect's cultivation method, it may be possible to cure it.

Sure enough, during the shallow absorption, Duan Yun found that this Junior Sister Xiaoli's true energy contained a hidden heat.

Yes, overall, this girl's true energy is ice-cold, but strangely, this ice-coldness contains a hidden fire.

This hidden fire is not strong, but like a mastermind, it can control the direction of true energy.

"Let me resolve you!"

The electric light jumping at his fingertips instantly penetrated this Junior Sister Xiaoli's body and entered her true energy.

The electric light instantly fought with that hidden fire, and the two sides were wrestling, causing the bed to shake gently.

Suddenly, Duan Yun and Junior Sister Xiaoli shivered at the same time.

Under the bed, the Murong brothers' eyes were red.

Ever since Duan Yun shamelessly started massaging feet for this shallow Junior Sister Xiaoli, he felt that the bottom of the bed had been shaking and pressing down.

And it's getting more and more excessive!

At this time, the wooden board at the bottom of the bed was pressing on the top of his head, constantly shaking and shaking, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Old Devil Duan, do you have to treat shivering at this time?

Huh?

Have you ever considered the feelings of the handsome Murong young hero!

At this time, tears were about to fall from his eyes.
