Being Uneducated Is Terrible

Shen Leyan took his senior brother to the yard.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he told his senior brother everything about how he was teased by the demon and how his neck felt cold.

Then he earnestly advised his senior brother to contact the sect and send cultivators to the village to investigate.

As for them, it was better not to care about matters involving demons. Anyway, the food and herbs were delivered, so they could leave the way they came.

Shen Leyan was so dry-mouthed when he spoke. After he finished speaking, his eyes were bright as he waited for his senior brother’s reply.

Instead of waiting for “then let’s go now”, he received a loud knock on the head.

The senior Brother was very disappointed: “Shen Leyan, I know you are not in good health. It’s your first time to help the sect and you are not used to it. But you can’t lie and make such an excuse if you want to rest!”

“No, I–“

“Can you joke about demons?!”

“No–“

“Just now in the house, you were scratching your neck like a monkey. You were probably bitten by flying insects when you went down the mountain.”

“No–“

“If there are demons in the village as you said, will the demons tease you?”

The senior brother glanced at the boy’s fair and elegant face and coughed lightly.

“… Even if demons sometimes tease good-looking young men, you are not the only one who noticed it.”

Shen Leyan: “…”

“You always sleep during class in the sect. You didn’t hear the instructor say that demons are best at hiding their bodies and changing their appearances. When they don’t use their demonic power, even cultivators are easily deceived, and mortals without spiritual roots are even more difficult to detect.

But once a demon uses its demonic power, the temperature of the surrounding area will drop sharply, and the mortals within a few feet will either suffer soul damage or lose energy.

You just said that you felt a demon blowing on your neck and the back of your neck was cold, so the demon must have used its demonic power. I’m so close to you, and there are so many injured people in the room, but no one feels anything.

Tell me, how can I believe what you say?”

More than 20 outer disciples of Yunxi Sect helped the villagers clean up the ruins of the burned thatched house. One team went to the forest to cut wood to build new houses, and another team stayed to take care of the injured and help the villagers wash clothes and cook.

 Shen Leyan was the youngest and was taken care of by his senior brothers and sisters. He was assigned the easiest job of boiling water and making medicine in the kitchen.

All he had to do was add some firewood regularly and pour out the medicine when it was ready to be served to the injured.

The young man sat on a small stool and took a palm leaf fan himself. It would take about half an hour for the medicine to be ready.

He was distracted and searched for the plot of the original novel in his mind.

A small village at the foot of Yunxi Sect Mountain.

A fire at night.

A demon who liked to tease young men.

Shen Leyan gently fanned his forehead with the palm leaf fan, not remembering that there was anything similar in the original novel.

It is also possible that these outer disciples were just passers-by in the novel, and the author did not write about them at all.

 But he was sure that his feeling was not wrong, there must be something unusual in the village… Otherwise, after finishing today’s work, he would find an excuse to leave the village and return to the sect.

He will speak to the sect’s instructor about today’s events and see if he can invite a cultivator?

“Dear host.”

Shen Leyan came back to his senses and checked the status of the system.

 “Dear host, Xiaodu is still working hard to repair it.

It is expected to be repaired in three hours.

The repair probability is 0.5%.”

“Why did you suddenly make a noise when it is not repaired? And why is the repair probability getting lower and lower? Wasn’t it still 1% in the morning?”

Xiaodu said aggrievedly: “The stronger the system is, the more difficult it is to repair. Who asked the host to come to this ghost place? It is really difficult to save the host’s life.”

Shen Leyan was shocked and said in a warm tone: “… Can you elaborate?”

“It is not repaired yet, so I can’t say.”

“What about you now?”

“I can only chat with you now, dear host——”

Shen Leyan cut off the connection with the system expressionlessly.

Although the system did not provide any substantial help, it helped him confirm that the village was not as peaceful as it seemed. Yesterday’s fire was probably not a simple accident.

He could not stay in the village any longer.

This morning, he was the only one who was teased by an unknown thing.

 What if that thing likes him very much and comes to him first when something happens?

It’s still light now. It’s still not too late to tell his senior brother that he wants to go back to the sect after the medicine is boiled.

Half an hour later.

“Boom!”

The dark clouds turned black and swallowed the scorching sun.

As the wind blew, the rice fields outside the thatched house rustled, and the seedlings in the field seemed to be blown up from the ground.

After a bright lightning flashed through the sky, rumbling thunder and heavy rain poured down.

Shen Leyan looked at the medicine bowl in his hand, and then at the dark rain curtain outside, and swallowed the resignation he had just prepared to ask for his senior brother.

He had no cultivation and could not fly with a sword. The road up the mountain on a rainy day was muddy and slippery, and there were many wild beasts. It was too dangerous for him to go back to the sect alone.

 The weather in summer is volatile, and it is not strange to have a sudden thunderstorm.

If this rainstorm is not caused by the evil spirits in the village.
