Half Moon Pass (four)

Xie Lian withdrew his gaze and put the matter behind him for the time being.

What is more important right now is Shanyuecao. It won’t be too late to expose his identity after the matter is over.

"Is this the Half Moon Kingdom? It's so small, not even as big as a city."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lian turned back to explain Nanfeng's doubts. Mo Qiuyan then breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that His Highness's insight was truly terrifying.

After Xie Lian finished explaining the Half Moon Kingdom, he also gave a brief description of the Half Moon people, much to everyone's surprise. Ah Zhao glanced at Xie Lian and asked, "This young man knows quite a bit." Little did they know that Xie Lian and the others had already harbored some suspicions about him.

Xie Lian was about to start a random conversation when he heard Nan Feng pointing at a large earthen building in the distance and asking, "What is that?"

“The Sinner’s Pit,” Xie Lian said.

"You can think of it as a prison. It's a place for the guilty."

Nan Feng said, "There's not even a door, how can we imprison them? Are we going to just throw them down from above?"

Xie Lian was just trying to decide whether to speak when San Lang suddenly said, "Throw it down. Besides, there are poisonous snakes, scorpions, and hungry beasts down there."

Hearing him finally speak, Xie Lian felt relieved and glanced at him.

Mo Qiuyan: Is this Huahua's mysterious anger towards His Highness? :-D

However, Sanlang and Xie Lian exchanged glances for a moment before looking away. Nanfeng cursed, "This isn't even a prison! This is pure torture, so vicious. The Banyue people are either mentally ill or brutally cruel."

Xie Lian rubbed his brow and said, “Not entirely. There are some pretty cute people among the Ban Yue people…”

Not long after, there was a very subtle sound of footsteps around them. The four people immediately dispersed quietly and hid in the surrounding houses.

Not long after, a woman in white slowly emerged from the end of the street.

The woman was wearing a light snow-white Taoist robe and holding a whisk in her arm. She walked on the street, looking left and right with her eyes bright. Her expression seemed as if this was not an ancient city that had been abandoned for many years, but a small back garden that she could turn around at will.

Not far away, a woman in black walked slowly behind her, hands behind her back. A man in a light blue robe walked behind her. He wore a headband and had a more relaxed expression than the woman in black, but his right hand rested lightly on the unknown weapon at his waist.

Rather than saying they are in a master-servant relationship, it would be more accurate to say they are a group of three.

Xie Lian looked at the man in the light blue robe with a familiar look. He was just squinting his eyes to observe him carefully when he heard the white-clothed woman, who looked like Ban Yue Imperial Preceptor, swish her whisk and say, "Where have those people gone hiding again? They disappeared without a trace. Do I have to hunt them down and kill them one by one?"

Xie Lian thought to himself, as expected, as soon as they entered the city, they were immediately targeted.

Xiu Mao heard someone talking and quietly slipped out through the crack in the wall. He saw the man's complicated eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. But Xie Lian and San Lang didn't see any of this.

The woman in black walked up, looked at the woman in white with an expressionless face, and said, "You can ask your friends to help you kill her."

These "friends" could only refer to the extremely lethal group of Ban Yue soldiers. Ban Yue Imperial Preceptor smiled and said, "I don't like to call others, I just like to call you. Are you happy?"

The woman in black, however, didn't give him any face at all and said coldly, "I'm not happy about being asked to do something like this by you. Go away."

The man didn't say a word the whole time, he just followed behind with a speechless expression.

This conversation full of misunderstandings really makes people sigh with emotion when they know about it, while those who don’t know about it think it is a premeditated conspiracy.

Mo Qiuyan blinked softly. After lightly teasing Lan Yunqing about his masculine appearance in the spiritual array, she was about to retreat back into the house when she felt a chill. Slowly turning back, she saw the woman in black with sharp eyes, her gaze fixed on her.

The other two noticed that something was wrong with the girl in black, and turned around, their eyes meeting Mo Qiuyan's.

“…”

The three people and the cat looked at each other, and the air was silent.

The girl in white's eyes lit up.

"Oh! I didn't expect there are cats in the border of Ban Yue Country!" After saying that, he quickly walked over and stretched out his evil hand towards Xiu Mao.

Psychic Array

Wind Master: [Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Lingyun, I knew you would transform, but I didn't expect you to turn into a cat directly! !]

Yunfan Gu Lingyun: [:-D]

Playing ball :-D

So, before Xie Lian and the others in the house could react, the pitiful Xiu Cat was captured by a few big demons.

…

Xie Lian: “.”

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Saburo: "Sabu...your cat..."

Sanlang still looked nonchalant: "It's okay, it will be found."

Xie Lian: But this time it wasn’t lost, it was arrested :-D

Xie Lian: “…Oh.”

…

Mo Qiuyan was rubbed back and forth by the two old men, speechless. Even Heishui came up and slapped her on the head a few times. Finally, Mo Qiuyan couldn't help it. Seeing that she could no longer see the street, she quickly transformed back into her human form and escaped danger (?)

"I really want you guys to stop right there!!"

Shi Qingxuan withdrew his hand regretfully, shook the cat's fur, and said, "When I get back, I'm going to ask my brother to give me a whole cat."

Mo Qiuyan was speechless and secretly vowed not to turn into a cat in front of these people after this was over.

However, he broke the plot, and Nanfeng did not jump out to lure the others away, so at this time Xie Lian and the others were not separated from Nanfeng. I don’t know what impact this will have on the subsequent plot.

…

Pei Su said calmly, "Ban Yue was originally my subordinate, and she was only under my orders to hide in Ban Yue Country. She is from both Ban Yue and Yong'an, and she has chosen a side and remains loyal to it. There is no such thing as betrayal. Ban Yue has ulterior motives, and I will kill her without regret."

Suddenly, a voice from above the Sinners' Pit said, "What a shrewd way to kill someone! Do you dare to say the same thing to those pedestrians you've lured into this pit over the years and who have died there?"

The voice came from above everyone's heads. Xie Lian immediately looked up and asked, "Which master is here?"

There was no answer, but a strange sound was heard. A whirring sound, like the howling of a violent wind. When the sound got closer, Xie Lian finally confirmed it—it was indeed the howling of a violent wind!

This gust of wind came so suddenly and violently that before Xie Lian could figure out what was happening, his body tilted and he was floating up!

This sudden gust of wind rushed straight into the bottom of the sinners' pit from above, and actually blew everyone into the sky!

Soon, several people in the sinners' pit were blown up by the strong wind. Xie Lian landed and stood firm. At this time, two figures followed Nanfeng and walked over.

One of them was the nun in white, with her whisk folded in her arms. She greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello, Your Highness."

Although he didn't know who the other person was, Xie Lian still wanted to reciprocate. However, he didn't know how to address him, so he just smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist."

The girl in black glanced at him coldly without paying much attention to him. However, when she saw Sanlang, she paused for a moment, as if she thought this man was very suspicious.

The man in the light blue robe smiled at Xie Lian and said, "Your Highness, long time no see." He was still holding Xiu Mao in his arms, who was clinging to his arms and purring.

Seeing that Xiu Mao was not lost and was not on guard, he figured that this man was not in danger either.

But Xie Lian still blinked: "...Sir, have we met before?"

The man was startled, then made a gesture. His voice changed from a gentle male voice to a female voice, and his figure also changed into the one Xie Lian had just seen a few days ago. "Your Highness, it's me, Su Sheng."

Xie Lian was stunned: “Then what did you just…”

Lan Yunqing smiled: "It's just a male appearance."

Oh, right. Xie Lian was ashamed. I had been offline for so long that I had forgotten about it.

The gust of wind had carried several people from the bottom of the pit up. The other two passed by Xie Lian and headed straight for Pei Su. Pei Su wasn't surprised to see the newcomers. After all, he had already seen them in the city when he was disguised as Ah Zhao. He knelt where he was, bowed to the white-robed nun, and whispered, "Master Wind Master."

Upon hearing these four words, Xie Lian was stunned.

He had always thought it was some kind of demon, but who knew it was actually a priest from Heaven? And a Wind Master, the one who could disperse a hundred thousand merits in a spirit communication array!

Here, Lan Yunqing reluctantly returned Xiu Mao to Sanlang. Sanlang held the cat with a look of disgust, and his movements seemed to be almost carrying it. Xiu Mao also had dead eyes and looked reluctant.

Very good, both sides dislike each other (.)

Xie Lian chuckled at this, secretly regretting that he had no photos to record. Seeing the man and cat's gaze shift towards him, he coughed lightly and turned his attention to "Master Feng's Mediation Class: Pei Su and the Half Moon Nation's Indissoluble Bond" (?).

After the Wind Master finished explaining his instructions, he tucked his whisk into the back of his robe, stood up, and bowed to Xie Lian again, saying with a smile, "Your Highness, I have long admired you."

This was considered a formal greeting. To Xie Lian, "I've long admired you" wasn't exactly a nice thing to say, but it was just polite talk anyway, so Xie Lian smiled and said, "Not at all. Master Feng is someone I've long admired."

Feng Shi said, "I'm so sorry for what happened earlier."

Xie Lian was stunned and asked, “Before? What happened before?”

The Wind Master asked, "Didn't you encounter a gust of sandstorm in the desert earlier?"

Xie Lian still felt his mouth was filled with sand as he thought about it, and said, “Yes.”

The Wind Master said, "That was my idea."

“…”

The two continued chatting, and Feng Shi tacitly allowed Xie Lian to take Xiao Banyue, the real person in the audience, away.

They chatted for a while longer, and Heishui couldn't stay any longer: "Are you done? You left after you finished."

Mo Qiuyan: It's just like when I was little and I was going out with my mom (Shi Qingxuan:?), and my mom bumped into Aunt X on the way and started chatting with her, while you were just standing there in a daze :-D

Heishui: Really Shuan Q, Gou Huacheng has been smiling at me like a woman in the spiritual array for a long time.

I'm going to book a flight to Mars now :D

Mo Qiuyan: Wait, how do you know about Mars?! And where can I get a plane ticket at this time?!

Finally, after the incident, the few people finally remembered that they had not yet gone to get the Shanyue Grass.

Merchants: Thanks, at least we still have a role :-D

They hurried to the place where Fuyao drew the circle, but they all stayed in the circle obediently and didn't dare to walk around.

The old man who had fallen to the ground took the elixir given by Nanfeng, and his injuries were under control. He then took the Good Moon Grass externally and internally, and after resting for a while, he could walk again. However, Xie Lian felt that there was no need to tell him what the fertilizer for the Good Moon Grass was.

Soon, Tiansheng and his companions also rushed back. Because a certain cultivator had changed the plot, Nanfeng was still in Xie Lian's team and had not left. He and Xie Lian took action in time and saved a businessman who was supposed to die in the plot.

Seeing that Tiansheng and his companions were unharmed, the caravan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Xie Lian and his group, but it seemed that they never wanted to come to Banyue Pass again in their lifetime.

All in all, the matter finally came to an end after the caravan was escorted out of the Gobi Desert.

However, before leaving, Tiansheng came to him secretly and said that he wanted to build a very large temple for Xie Lian, dedicated to him.

Xie Lian smiled happily and said, "Thank you very much."

San Lang, standing nearby, chuckled for some reason. Xie Lian didn't think he was mocking Tong Yan's ignorance of his own limitations.

Although the child had no idea how big a deal building a temple was, he was still very happy to receive such a promise, regardless of whether it could be realized or not.

After being entangled in various ways, he had no choice but to leave a random name of "Ragged Immortal", waved his hand, and walked to the other side.

The south wind blew away the distance and sent them back to the Bodhisattva Monastery.

Opening the door, Xie Lian took the mat and spread it on the floor, then lay down on it, like a corpse, the whole movement done in one smooth motion. Sanlang also sat down beside him, looking at him with his chin in his hand. Xiu Mao crawled to the ground as soon as he returned, but he still looked over here.

Xie Lian sighed and asked, "How many days have we been walking?"

Sanlang said, "Generally speaking, it will take about three or four days."

Xie Lian sighed again, "It's only three or four days, why are you so exhausted?"

Ever since his ascension, he has often been as tired as a dog. This is really not an illusion.

The sadness of workersjpg.

After sighing, he looked up and said, "Hey, Nanfeng, why haven't you gone back to report yet?"

Nan Feng asked, "What report?"

Xie Lian asked, “Aren’t you a priest of Nanyang Palace? If you were gone for three or four days, wouldn’t your general look for you?”

"My general is not in the palace at the moment, so he has no business with me."

Xie Lian then climbed up and said, "Okay, it's fine if you stay."

Nan Feng asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Lian said with a pleasant expression, "I'll cook you a meal as a reward."

Xie Lian: Is Feng Xin really completely unaware that he's been exposed? :-D

Nanfeng's face changed drastically when he heard this. He raised his hand, put two fingers together, and placed them on the edge of his solar plexus. As if receiving a spiritual message from someone, he stood up and said, "I have something to do in the palace. I'll be leaving first."

Xie Lian held Er Kang's hand: "Hey, don't go, why did something happen suddenly? You've really worked hard this time..."

Nan Feng roared, "Something's really wrong!" Seeing him rush out the door, Xie Lian sat back on the mat and said to San Lang, "It seems he's not hungry."

Before Sanlang could answer, there was a "bang" and Nanfeng rushed back, blocking the door and saying, "You two..."

Xie Lian and San Lang sat side by side on the mat and looked up at him. "Three of us, and there's also a cat repairer."

Nan Feng held it in for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I will come back."

Nanfeng: There's definitely something fishy going on between these two.jpg.

Xie Lian smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome."
