Chapter 81 Weishengxue: A little brat, a military genius?

"parking."

A gentle command made the entire convoy stop.

Wei Shengxue got off the carriage and looked at the nearly overgrown path ahead. "Prepare some offerings for me." Her expression was complex, and her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself. "At least I can finish what I started."

"Master, are you going to worship the mountain god?" Princess Yangzi jumped off the carriage and wondered when she saw her looking at the mountain forest with exceptionally lush vegetation.

Wei Shengxue didn't answer, but simply said something incomprehensible, "In nature, near poisonous weeds there's bound to be a life-saving antidote. Perhaps it's the law of cause and effect."

The guards brought out five plates of wine and cakes that they had hastily gathered together, and followed behind with the food boxes.

When the immortal was going to worship, others certainly couldn't just stand there and watch, so they immediately lifted their clothes and followed.

The mountain road is difficult to walk on, but if you look carefully, you can find dense footprints hidden under the grass, as if people had frequently come and gone here in the not-too-distant past.

Could it be that there was a mountain god temple inside, but it was abandoned later?

Fusu and the others followed quietly behind him, and for a moment the only sound was the rustling of clothes through the grass and bushes.

I don't know how long I walked, but behind some not-so-tall trees was a dilapidated temple. Inside, only half of a wooden statue remained, and even the cloth on the altar had been taken away. However, there were no bonfires or beggars like in ordinary dilapidated temples, and the thin traces of ash covering the altar were also very fresh, indicating that someone had come to clean it up not long ago.

Perhaps this was the place where the immortal's good friend lived, but later the mountain god died for some reason, and when the immortal came to visit his friend, he could only clean up the remaining place for his old friend.

No wonder we had to take a detour to Changyi, it turns out there is such an old connection.

They were happily imagining things behind each other, suppressing all curiosity and revealing just the right amount of sadness and regret.

Wei Shengxue stepped into this dilapidated temple with mixed emotions.

The last time she came here was more than a month ago. It was here that she found the body of Patient Zero and also here she systematically analyzed and came up with an effective prescription for treating the epidemic.

It is really fate that brings about fate and everything has its own destiny.

Refugees who first suffered from floods and then famine hid in this dilapidated temple. People with various diseases gathered here and there, perhaps because of illness, or perhaps because of the infection and mutation from each other. Diseases that could be recovered by enduring them became serious diseases that are both fatal and contagious.

People in the dilapidated temple died or left, but the disease, which had already become an epidemic, spread.

Wei Shengxue stood in the main hall for a while, then went around to the backyard, where she saw the person she had buried that night and the monument she had erected.

It wasn't a complete corpse, but a simple urn. To prevent the spread of the disease and contamination, she burned the body before burying it.

Fusu followed him in and saw an anonymous wooden tablet with only a few people written on it, and the rest was blank.

Wei Shengxue poured wine slowly in front of the tomb, "If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be reborn thousands of years from now."

After thousands of years, this place will have developed to the level of the industrial age of the mother planet.

"The prescription for treating the epidemic was analyzed from them." Weishengxue skipped the background and only mentioned the second half.

If other people knew about this, there was no guarantee that someone who had suffered the same misfortune would come to dig up their graves and seek revenge. Death is like the extinguishing of a light, so it is better not to disturb their sleep.

Fusu only heard half of this, his face moved, and he also poured a glass of wine, saying solemnly: "This is a great act, I should also offer a glass to you."

The people traveling with him also offered a cup of wine and wet the soil in front of the tomb.

Before leaving, Wei Shengxue waved his sleeves to set up a barrier to cover the area in the backyard.

Perhaps soon more homeless people will come here and find a brick and a half-tile shelter, but these people in the backyard could not own a house of their own during their lifetime, so let them quietly occupy a small place to live after death.

Everyone returned to the official road in the direction they came from. The lush grass and shrubs were spreading out, covering up the traces of human footsteps again.

…

"Where are we going next?"

"Go to Shanfu County. I have a little friend there." Thinking of that clever little girl, Wei Shengxue smiled. "She's really a smart girl."

Princess Yangzi was silent for a moment, with a hint of sourness in her voice, "What kind of little girl is it that the Immortal Master can't forget about her so much?"

Wei Shengxue frowned, not knowing how to describe it. After thinking for a long time, she said, "If he is taught properly, his abilities will not be inferior to your brother's."

Since she was not familiar with the other young masters, Yang Zi quickly found the corresponding brother.

"Elder brother?"

How is that possible!

Her first reaction was denial.

Her elder brother, the eldest son of the Qin Emperor, was being trained as the future king. How could a little girl from a remote place be compared with him!

But thinking that this evaluation was made by an immortal, she swallowed her rebuttal.

Could it be that the girl really has such a good talent that the immortal who only spent a short time with her gave her such a high evaluation?

"It's only been half a year, she should still be there." Wei Shengxue said uncertainly.

Princess Yangzi said, "We have an agreement with the immortal. Even if we move our entire family, we must leave three or two old servants there to guard it."

What's more, what could be more important than the covenant with the immortal? As long as it is not a disaster that can kill the whole family, I will definitely not leave.

We stopped and walked along the way, sometimes going into the city to replenish supplies, but most of the time we hid there, and we walked like this for several days.

Halfway through the journey, we learned that the road had been destroyed by a landslide and was under repair, so we switched to the water route. This time, we missed Shanfu County, which was closer, and instead reached the Sishui River.

"Si Shui." Fusu was a little excited.

The last time he was enshrined in the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, he stayed in Xianyang and missed the chance to witness the birth of the Nine Cauldrons. Now, traveling around can be considered as a way to feel a sense of participation.

"Your Majesty sent over a thousand people to search the Sishui River, up and down, but they couldn't find it at all. I even jumped into the water several times, but it seemed the Yuzhou Ding wasn't even there."

As one of the only two people in the team who was present at the time, Wang Li has become quite noticeable these days, with everyone surrounding him to ask about what happened.

"Could Your Majesty have retreated under those circumstances? If we couldn't find the Nine Cauldrons after mobilizing so many troops, wouldn't that mean that our Great Qin... cough cough cough... In short, at the critical moment, the Immortal took action!"

"She walked a few steps around the Si River, and suddenly, a dazzling radiance and auspicious aura appeared. Then, with a loud bang, the Yuzhou Ding emerged from the water, right in the spot we had searched for so many times."

"Such a large and heavy tripod was floating in the air. Everyone's eyes were wide open."

"What is a miracle? This is a miracle!"

Wei Shengxue, who was drinking water nearby, said: ...

Wu Yuzi, can you please not spread rumors in front of the person involved?

She finally understood how she, a good cultivator, was treated as a deity in the world of immortal cultivation. It was people like you who were just bragging!

There were thousands of rays of auspicious light and a thousand auspicious auras, but even her ascension didn't make such a big noise!

If she went over to correct him, Wang Li would actually say something like "You are the one who casts the spell, how do you know what we see?"

Wei Shengxue:???

How could I not know what my own spiritual aura is like?

However, her dry description was much easier to read than Wang Li's legendary "miracle", and it sounded just like what they imagined.

So she, the person involved, was thrown aside, and everyone listened to the onlookers "spreading rumors" in person.

A bunch of annoying things.

Wei Shengxue knocked on the cup in disdain, left a note on the spot to explain where he was going, and then got up and left.

The last time I was here, I found a place that was very suitable for meditation. I wonder if it has been destroyed now?

The sunlight in late spring was already slightly scorching. Wei Shengxue walked slowly along the shade of the trees. The sunlight shone through the not-yet-lush branches and leaves, occasionally casting round golden spots on her body, as if adding new decorations to her clothes, or as if giving her a layer of light golden light, dreamy, lively and ethereal.

All traces of footsteps along the Sishui River have vanished, leaving only the thick and thin patches of wild grass and flowers stretching along the bank... Hmm? There are footprints.

Perhaps because he was really bored, Weishengxue squatted down and began to analyze the footprints.

Judging from the size and depth, the owner of the footprints should be around ten years old, taller than average, but light in weight. His footsteps were messy and of varying depths, probably because he was stumbling after running out of strength.

Is the child in danger? Or has something happened to him?

Weishengxue followed the footprints and found an unconscious person curled up in the grass in the forest.

Judging from his figure, he seems to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, but his face still has baby fat and is childish.

"system."

【I fainted from hunger.】

Wei Shengxue: ...

With that height and muscle mass, he doesn't look like someone who can't even make a living.

[Ding! Talent*Military Prodigy Found, Host Recommended to Collect.]

Wei Shengxue lowered her head, "Is this the little brat who made herself faint from hunger?"

"Why do you call everyone a military prodigy? That Peng Yue before was also a military prodigy, and this one is also a military prodigy."

[A top student gets 100 points because he can get 100 points, a genius student gets 100 points because the test paper is only worth 100 points.]

[Host, capture him and cultivate a great military talent. You deserve it!]

After saying this, the system played this sentence in a loop, with the main point being that if persuasion failed, it would annoy her until she agreed.

"You're using a cultivation system like a human trafficker system."

[Which legend in the world of immortal cultivation doesn't have three, five, or six powerful minions? Host, capture him!]

Weishengxue looked at his dirty clothes and couldn't bear to touch him, so she simply tied him up with vines and carried him away.
