How can you still give merit to saving sentient beings?

Chapter 5 Yihe Monster
The woman thought hard for a moment, shook her head and said, "Everything happened suddenly, there was really no warning."

Ning Shuang nodded and asked again: "I heard that there is a Huaiyue Pavilion nearby, and I once sent disciples to protect it. Do you know about the situation of this sect?"

The woman's eyes lit up. She had indeed heard some rumors. She approached mysteriously and said, "Huaiyue Pavilion is said to have originated from a group of thieves. Although it was guided by immortals who traveled far and wide, in the end it was still the same as the one that had been passed down for thousands of years. There are many differences between the big sects, but being able to protect us for a while is already pretty good."

If this is true, this Huaiyue Pavilion can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person.

Now she plans to pursue the investigation along Fengming Village. As long as she can solve the strange phenomena in various places, the crisis in the sect will naturally be solved.

Ning Shuang politely rejected the woman's idea of ​​calling everyone to say goodbye. After asking the woman to help look after Shuo Ming, she immediately left for the next location.

In view of the strange nature of evil spirits, Ning Shuang deliberately cast a spell to hide the scent of Xuanli Candle on the road.

Although the leader of the evil spirits that invaded Fengming Village is dead, hiding the candle is not a long-term solution, but it can at least help her delay it for a while.

Unfortunately, the information I picked up along the way had nothing to do with evil spirits.

Hearing that Yihe Town, which was not far from her, had recently been infested by monsters, Ning Shuang rushed there after asking for directions.

The monsters here are different from the ones she encountered when she first arrived. The people in Yihe Town are neither missing nor dead. At most, they will be slightly injured and can recover in a few days of rest.

If it weren't for the bad conditions in many areas, Ning Shuang would have guessed that this demon only went down the mountain to find busy places to cause trouble in order to relieve the loneliness of living in the mountains and forests for so long.

But at this time she had to be more vigilant and investigate for herself.

Along the way, Ning Shuang helped a lot of people, treating illnesses and injuries, and finding lost things. All in all, it was extremely smooth without Shuo Ming following along.

The Qing Jie System didn't find her either. It was probably because they were happy to see the progress was improving, so they gave her some more time to breathe.

At noon, Ning Shuang chose a stall to fill her stomach, but she heard a man at the next table talking excitedly about monsters to a few people around him.

I don’t know if the man meant to scare people or if it was true, he actually said that the monster was hiding in the fairy gate.

The monster wants to get as far away from the Immortal Sect as possible, so how could it take the initiative to enter...

and many more!

Ning Shuang suddenly remembered what she had personally experienced before.

The situation she encountered at that time was a fight within the demon clan. In order to save their lives, the weaker party did go to the immortal gate for help.

Most immortal sects in the mortal world only distinguish between good and evil regardless of living beings. Even monsters will protect each other as long as they are kind-hearted.

I don’t know what the situation is like in the mortal world here.

Ning Shuang had already inquired about the nearest immortal sect, which happened to be the Luo Qing sect mentioned in the Qingjie system.

She didn't care about eating anymore and planned to check the situation herself.

The barrier set up by the Luo Qing sect on the outermost perimeter was used to ward off monsters, so Ning Shuang was naturally not restricted. She walked around the barrier first, but could not find any trace or aura of the monster.

Ning Shuang was about to visit her when a beautiful and agile woman in a yellow and red dress suddenly appeared a few meters away.However, compared to his appearance, the several circles of silver-white bead chains wrapped around the opponent's wrist attracted Ning Shuang's attention more. They didn't look like decorations, but more like magic weapons.

"Who are you?" the woman asked before her.

Ning Shuang saw that the other party was ready to fight, and nodded with a smile: "Xia Shuangchen is a loose immortal who travels all over the world. Recently, I heard that the people in the town are being disturbed by monsters, so I came here to inquire about the situation. I wonder who you are?"

"So that's why." The other party immediately became much kinder and showed a bright smile to her, "I am Liu Can, the daughter of the head of Luo Qing."

Hearing this, Ning Shuang was slightly startled. Didn't the system say that the leader's daughter's name was Liu Ruqin?Could this be another daughter of the leader?
However, inquiring into the system yielded no results. Ning Shuang thought to herself that it might suddenly be busy with something like before, but it didn't matter if she knew about the other party's situation. She suddenly said: "It turns out to be Miss Liu. Nice to meet you."

"It looks like the girl is getting ready to go down the mountain, so I won't..."

Just as she was about to say goodbye, Ning Shuang stepped forward to hold her arm. Liu Can looked at her with a smile: "I know everything about monsters that Immortal Shuangchen wants to know about. Why don't you come with me and listen while walking?" ?”

Faced with the kindness of the daughter of the sect leader, Ning Shuang had to politely refuse the other party's kindness. She came here specifically to visit and investigate because she heard that monsters were hiding in the fairy sect. How could she just turn back.

Unexpectedly, a wave of demonic energy overflowed from Liu Can's body in an instant. Ning Shuang hurriedly avoided it, cast a spell to set up protection around her, and at the same time looked towards Liu Can.

However, Liu Can had lost consciousness, closed his eyes tightly, and did not show any pain. His body was supported by a wisp of light orange demonic energy.

Before she had time to think about it, the demonic aura that intended to attack rushed forward to entangle Ning Shuang.

Ning Shuang's intuition told her that this aura was specially left by the monsters causing trouble nearby, but why was it related to the daughter of the leader of the Luo Qing sect in an unknown way?
"Don't get excited. Why don't you calm down and explain it to me." Ning Shuang didn't intend to attack the nearby monster without asking the reason. How did she know that the other party would get excited first.

The monster maintained its energy and seemed unwilling to stop.

Ning Shuang was more than capable of dealing with it. She was able to devote her energy to observation. After dodging a few moves, she discovered that this was just a spell left by the monster to protect the person being cast when it sensed danger.

It seems that the whole story is not simple.

She thinks it is necessary to investigate in detail. If it is a monster with a good nature, she will advise it not to disturb mortals in any way. If there are other reasons, she will decide how to deal with it based on the details.

After casting a spell to force the spell back, Liu Can suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Eh? What happened? Immortal Shuangchen, didn't I already hold you?"

Ningshuang was not sure whether Liu Can knew about the monster, so she pretended to respond indifferently: "You suddenly felt a little dazed. Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

The woman in front of her seemed to be relieved, and realized that she was being watched tenderly. She quickly patted her chest again: "I was scared just now. I thought something had happened. I am worried that I may not have slept well recently."

A gust of wind blew down a few young leaves and fell between the two of them. Liu Can then waved to her and said, "Since the immortal has his own thoughts, I won't waste your time. See you again if we are destined!"

All kinds of unnatural little reactions were reflected in Ning Shuang's eyes. However, at this time, it was best to see through without telling them. She followed the other person's words and nodded with a smile: "Okay, see you again if we are destined."

The woman left in a hurry, and Ning Shuang turned around and walked up the hundred stone steps again.

After all, the Luoqing sect was a larger sect. Even in the unattended outskirts, there were specially built roads, so she didn't have to walk through the woods.

As a result, after taking just a few steps, Ning Shuang was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen egg-green men in simple clothes and fierce looks.
