Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao checked himself and found that the poison of the viper had been completely eliminated, and the evil spirit was almost completely eliminated. He said sincerely: "With big brother here, I really don't have to be afraid of anything."
Xi Yunting was somewhat happy to hear this, but he was still immersed in the guilt of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, and he couldn't even force out a smile. He just lowered his eyelids and said, "The viper is a vicious beast after all. Even if its poison is completely removed, the damage to the body still needs to be healed. Take one of these nourishing pills every day for three days." Xi Yunting stuffed a big-bellied jade bottle into Chen Xiao's hand, "Keep the rest just in case. I know you can't take risks again, so you must be more careful in the future and don't get hurt and make your brother worry." In addition to the nourishing pills, Xi Yunting gave him another jade box. Inside was a whole set of pills for various injuries. To put it in a bad way, if Chen Xiao was poisoned by the viper again, he wouldn't have to lie there and wait to die.
Chen Xiao felt embarrassed to be blamed by Xi Yunting in disguise. After thanking his elder brother, he put away the jade box, opened the big-bellied bottle, poured out a nourishing pill and swallowed it. He had taken the elixir Xi Yunting stuffed him with in the morning, so he didn't need to take any more medicine today. Xi Yunting wanted to stop him, but he didn't say anything when the words came to his lips. How to explain that he was afraid that Xiaodi would have nowhere to vent his energy after taking it, and would have beautiful dreams after falling asleep?
After thinking about it, Xi Yunting simply didn't give him a chance to sleep. After he found out the whereabouts of the other two people and the children, he said to Chen Xiao, "Wash up, eat, and then set off to chase them."
Chen Xiao agreed immediately. He was also very worried about the other two. The poisonous snake happened to run into him. Zhao Jiao and his men had not appeared yet. They were probably searching for them in another direction.
Chen Xiao got up, dressed and washed. He asked Xi Yunting about the bedding on the ground and learned that it was specially prepared for him after he arrived in Jincheng. He felt warm and happy in his heart, so he packed up the bedding and planned to put it in his storage box.
Xi Yunting was building a fire pit at this time, intending to boil some hot water for Chen Xiao. He stood up and walked to the outside, picked up some branches, and dried them directly in his hands.
Chen Xiao's eyes drifted towards him involuntarily. His body was tightly wrapped in a robe, but when he taught him body movements before, Xi Yunting had only worn tight-fitting clothes. His figure was excellent, with standard broad shoulders and narrow legs. Although he was now dressed neatly, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of his tight chest and strong long legs in his dream.
Chen Xiao's face flushed and his throat tightened. It was over. It seemed that he had opened up a key that shouldn't have been opened.
Although the two were very close in the past, Chen Xiao always claimed to be a gentleman's friend. After having a messy dream, he suddenly discovered the sexy parts of the other person from an inappropriate angle. Even though Chen Xiao had never been in a relationship and didn't know much about same-sex love, he knew that it was not good to be excited about a man's chest and thighs.
Inwardly scolding himself for not doing this, Chen Xiao lowered his head and dared not look around anymore. He quickly packed up his bedding and sat down by the fire.
Xi Yunting was wearing a dark blue robe with black patterns that day. His hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his long black hair hung down from his temples. Although his facial features were handsome, his square chin made him look masculine. His aura was so majestic that everyone who saw him felt respect.
Only in Chen Xiao's eyes, he ignored his somewhat scary aura, looked carefully at Xi Yunting's facial features, and couldn't help but secretly admire the other's appearance.
The other person lowered his eyes, stretched out his slender and beautiful hands, took out a small pot, put some white snow in it, and started to boil water. This action, which was obviously full of the flavor of fireworks, sounded dignified when he did it.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but look away as he watched, and recalled his dream. It also made him feel strange. Even if he was dreaming, he should be the one taking the initiative. After all, this is the nature of men. No matter what, the other party shouldn't be strong, and he should be at a disadvantage!
However, as he was thinking, Chen Xiao's ears began to heat up again. He quickly grabbed a handful of snow from the side and rubbed it on his face to cool down.
Xi Yunting looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao?" Didn't you wash your face just now?
Chen Xiao rubbed his hands with snow to cover up and said, "Brother, let's share some." The quiet atmosphere made Chen Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to stand up and help.
After drinking some water and eating some rations, Chen Xiao pointed them in the right direction and they set off to chase after him.
Xi Yunting was much calmer than Chen Xiao. Although he was depressed, he didn't show it on the surface. The only flaw was that he didn't hold Chen Xiao so tightly. Chen Xiao was in turmoil because he realized that his sexual orientation was wrong. Facing Xi Yunting's inducement, he couldn't calm down at this moment and didn't realize that there was anything wrong at all.
They were delayed for half a day and a night, Xi Yunting flew in the air at lightning speed. He followed the correct direction to find him, but he didn't catch up with him after chasing for a long time.
Tang Ru was injured, and Tong Nuonuo was a road idiot, so either of them could cause an accident. Chen Xiao discussed it with Xi Yunting, and the two began to expand the search along this route.
After searching for them, they didn't find them, but ran into the reinforcements brought by Shen Yanxing. His uncle Wang was persuaded by him and led his guards into the mountain. They didn't know the mark, but just followed the clues left by Chen Xiao and the other two, and finally met them in this place. Both sides were very surprised to meet each other, and the situation was urgent so they quickly explained the situation.
Shen Yanxing's uncle is called Shen Yongqing. Although he was canonized as a king, in front of Xi Yunting, who is not from the country's immortal cultivation world, he is not judged by his status, but by his cultivation. Shen Yongqing is in the Nascent Soul stage, and Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao call him a senior.
Shen Yongqing was a man of bold and decisive character. Since he was invited by Shen Yanxing, he must be close to him. This time he came to kill this group of evil cultivators and establish the prestige of the new dynasty. On the other hand, it was also for Shen Yanxing's request to take care of his friends and make sure nothing happened.
Upon learning that two foundation-building cultivators had escaped with 70 to 80 children and their whereabouts were unknown, and that a Yuanying cultivator named Zhao Jiao and four Jindan cultivators were missing, Shen Yongqing quickly assigned two groups of people, one to search for the missing children and cultivators, and the other to encircle and suppress the evil cultivators.
Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao were of course more concerned about Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru than the evil cultivators like Zhao Jiao, so they chose to go look for them together with Shen Yongqing's men.
The snow started to fall again, covering up the few signs, making it even more difficult for them to find someone. Shen Yongqing's people looked at Chen Xiao and the others from time to time. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they didn't think Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru had much hope of survival.
Chen Xiao felt very uncomfortable. He blamed himself for not going with Tong Nuonuo. That way he wouldn't be so anxious at this time, not knowing whether the other party was alive or dead. He couldn't help but tell Xi Yunting about his inner regret. Xi Yunting didn't comfort him, but said in a low voice: "I don't know which one is better for Xiao brother. I just feel that if Xiao brother is missing with them at this time, I'm afraid that big brother will be even more anxious."
He was clearly not trying to comfort her, but it made Chen Xiao feel better. At least he was with Xi Yunting at this time, and it was better for the two of them to share the burden together than to be anxious on their own.
One of Shen Yongqing's men was an expert at finding traces, and he finally found traces of camping under a layer of uneven snow. The camp was very new, and after digging it up, it was found to be a bit messy, indicating that they had encountered a sudden incident and left in a hurry. Now the situation became clear, Zhao Jiao and his group must have caught up with or approached them.
After careful investigation by Shen Yongqing's men, they finally concluded that the petite one led the pursuers away, while the other group with many children ran in another direction.
Chen Xiao's heart sank immediately after hearing this. Both Tang Ru and Tong Nuonuo were in great danger.
Xi Yunting patted his hand soothingly and said, "Fellow Daoist Tong is a man of good fortune. The heavy snow helped to cover his tracks. Even if someone tried to find him, he would not be easily found. As long as he wanted, he could definitely get rid of the evil cultivator and escape!"
Chen Xiao calmed down a lot after hearing this. Yes, the road-challenged geek always has good luck at critical moments. As long as the aura strikes, just going in circles can make people dizzy. However, it is not sure if it is safe for Tong Nuonuo to be stranded in the wilderness with a group of children, which is also very dangerous. There is enough food, but keeping those children warm is a problem, so we have to find them as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao hurriedly asked the tracking expert: "Can this Taoist fellow tell how long they have been walking?" The man made an estimate based on the falling snow and told Chen Xiao that it should be more than three hours.
"Then those evil cultivators are also within walking distance at this time. Whether we can rescue Tong Nuonuo in time is 50-50." Chen Xiao finally decided to take a risky move, "Please collect fuel and light a huge fire."
Chen Xiao once told Tong Nonuo that if she got lost, she should stay where she was and wait for him to find her. If she had to move, she should find a safe place and raise a column of smoke as a signal. The same goes for the other way around. If she gave Tong Nonuo a conspicuous signal, even if he had a poor sense of direction, he would be able to find his way back after seeing the huge column of smoke, right?
The leader of Shen Yongqing's team said to him, "If you act like this, I'm afraid you will attract those evil cultivators."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "I understand. But if we can lure all the evil cultivators here, Nuonuo and the others will be safe."
The cultivation base of these people was at the Jindan and foundation building stages. They were numerous and were not afraid of a few evil cultivators. Seeing that Chen Xiao had made up his mind, he followed his idea and collected a large pile of wet fuel, lighting a huge column of smoke.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and the thick smoke column turned into a mushroom cloud, which was particularly bright and eye-catching even in the continuous snow and wind.
Chen Xiao looked around, suppressing his anxiety and waiting. He didn't expect that a column of smoke much thinner than the one they had piled up would slowly rise a quarter of an hour later. The smoke column was blown by the wind and hit by the snow, swaying and almost being blown away. Despite this, it was a signal that could not be more noticeable.
Chen Xiao was not happy but shocked, and cried out: "Oh no!" If this was done by Tong Nuonuo, not only did she pass the message to them, but she also exposed her location in front of the evil cultivator.
Xi Yunting immediately said: "Fellow Jindan Daoists, please come with us and rescue them quickly!" Without waiting for others to respond, he immediately took off into the air and flew towards the direction of the rising smoke column.
At the leader's command, several Jindan stage cultivators rose from the ground, those who could fly did so, and those who couldn't used their body movements to hurry on. Chen Xiao also rushed over there with the other foundation-building stage cultivators. These people were all in the foundation-building stage and were extremely fast. No matter how good Chen Xiao's body movements were, he couldn't catch up without the support of his true essence. Fortunately, he still had the magic talisman, which he used continuously on himself, so he didn't fall behind. It really impressed those foundation-building stage cultivators.
When they were halfway there, the smoke had gone out. Chen Xiao had an excellent sense of direction. Even without the smoke, he did not deviate at all. After running for a while, he could hear the sound of fighting and the sound of spiritual energy bombs exploding. Chen Xiao's heart tightened, his eyes turned red, and his body movement had actually improved, and his speed was even faster.
In front of them, spiritual energy and true essence intertwined, and spells of various colors collided fiercely. The remaining spells were like stray bullets flying around on the battlefield. Chen Xiao was stopped by someone around him: "Daoyou, there is danger ahead, and your cultivation is too low to protect yourself. You should wait here!"
After saying that, he no longer cared about Chen Xiao and the other people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who were holding up their true energy to protect their bodies, and rushed towards the place where the battle was taking place.
There were only three evil cultivators on that side, so they had no chance of winning against Xi Yunting, a sword cultivator who was invincible at the Golden Core stage. Not to mention that there were several Golden Core cultivators helping them, and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they were taken down before they could even make a move.
Shen Yongqing's order was to capture them alive if possible, and bring them back to serve as a warning to others, so as to establish the authority of the new dynasty. Xi Yunting gave Shen Yongqing face and stopped in time. Although these people were beaten half to death, they were still alive.
Chen Xiao hurried over after the aftermath of the spell on the battlefield dissipated. He searched everywhere and soon saw a fire in the corner that had been broken up. He ran over and searched nearby and soon found Tong Nuonuo. At this moment, he was covered in snow-white camouflage, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find him.
"Nunuo!" Chen Xiao was surprised and laughed. When Tong Nonuo saw him, she immediately took off her disguise and ran towards him, "Chen Xiao!" The two looked at each other. Chen Xiao was fine, but Tong Nonuo looked tired and not in good spirits.
Chen Xiao asked and found out that the children were in a very bad condition and Tong Nuonuo had no way to take them there. He could only risk setting off a smoke column to lure Chen Xiao's reinforcements over.
However, Tong Nuonuo was very clever in hiding the children, disguising herself and setting traps, and she managed to hold on until Xi Yunting arrived.
Chen Xiao was relieved, and he asked Tong Nonuo if she knew about Tang Ru's situation. Tong Nonuo said, "Well, I don't think you need to worry too much about her. Ah Rou is a spiritual plant master, and she has some tricks to trip up those who chase her. When she left, she only shouted two words to me, and I knew she would be fine."
Chen Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Which two words are so magical?"
Tong Nuonuo's face looked strange for a moment, and he said, "Cat beast."
Chen Xiao was stunned. When he heard the word cat beast, he immediately thought of its characteristics. It was said that it was very friendly to cubs, and there were even rumors that it would pick up human children and raise them. Tang Ru looked like a natural child without any disguise, and she didn't even need to wear makeup to pretend to be a lost child. Letting Zhao Jiao and other evil cultivators who were chasing after it face such a powerful beast like cat beast directly, it must be said that it was as cruel and decisive as Chen Xiao stuffing a strong stinking potion into the mouth of the poisonous snake!
