The thick fog on the sea obscured the stars in the sky.
When Lingluo followed Yun Shouxi to the boat ladder, she suddenly stopped and said, "Master, I just remembered that I have something else to do. You go up first, and I will follow."
Yun Shouxi was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask what was going on, he saw her turn around and trot back.
Yue Liangze knew that Lingluo would not greet him in front of Yun Shouxi, so he walked away with the cargo box. After walking a few steps, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Senior Brother!"
"Brother Yue!"
Yue Liangze was stunned for a moment, looked back and found that she had returned.
Ling Luo glared at him angrily and said, "Why are you walking so fast!"
Yue Liangze was speechless.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm going down the mountain to practice now, and I won't be back for two months." Lingluo said, "I was going to find you to practice sword skills before I left, but I found that you were not there... What are you doing here!"
Yue Liangze replied in a good-tempered manner: "Uncle Chang's son injured his foot, I came to help him carry it."
Ling Luo: “…”
You are indeed a kind person.
"Give you money?" she asked.
Yue Liangze: "No need to give."
"…You are so kind!" Ling Luo said unhappily, "If anyone causes trouble for you while I'm away, just tell your cheap son."
"If they beat you, write down their names and I'll compete with them later."
She doesn't care about Yue Liangze.
The only one who can defeat Yue Liangze is Lingluo, no one else can.
Yue Liangze said: "I am not that easy to be bullied."
Do you dare to believe this when you say it?
Lingluo looked at him suspiciously.
"Chang Fei and his friends often come here to eat and drink for free. Remember to ask them to steal some more rice for you, otherwise it will be eaten up again." Ling Luo muttered, "I haven't received the teriyaki chicken rice I promised you before!"
"I'll make it for you when you come back from gaining experience." Yue Liangze said.
"Go home early after you finish moving. It's foggy tonight and it's not good to stay at the foot of the mountain." Lingluo turned and left. "I'm leaving. See you when I get back."
Yue Liangze: "Be careful on the road."
He watched the girl leave quietly. The porters separated them, and the ship leaving the port carried people farther and farther away from him.
The speed of the sea ship is much faster than other ships, and it doesn’t take long to get from Dongdao Tianji to Donghai City.
When they arrived at Donghai City, the night scene was at its most spectacular. The huge city displayed the prosperity and bustle of the world. As soon as the few people got ashore, the soldiers of Donghai City came to greet them.
The commander of the city, General Guan Chen, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord Sanxi, the city lord learned that you wanted to investigate Bai Linglong, so he sent me here to help."
"Thank you." Yun Shouxi smiled gently.
Lingluo raised her head and looked towards the highest point in the city.
That is the East Sea City Lord’s Mansion.
The world of immortal cultivation and the human world are inextricably linked.
There are even some immortal cultivation families who have served the royal families of various countries for generations.
But cultivators should not easily get involved in national politics and grievances.
Some of the twelve major sects also have strict orders prohibiting their disciples from interfering in the affairs of the court. Serious offenders will be regarded as traitors to the sect and may even be eliminated.
Both sides need to maintain a balance of power.
It's just a delicate balance.
But it is undeniable that the human world has a very good relationship with the twelve major immortal sects, especially the four masters with thousand-year-old foundations, and there are subtle exchanges of interests between them.
Donghai City is the closest to Tianji, and a word from Tianji's leader can make the Lord of Donghai City anxious and worried for days.
The difference in status between the two sides is therefore obvious.
There is only one road in and out of Tianji, through Donghai City.
Yun Shouxi takes Yu Xiu to Donghai City to investigate Bai Linglong, while Chu Yi wants to take Lingluo out of Donghai City to gain experience.
"The more powerful and annoying demons usually cause trouble in rural towns. Those places are secluded and sparsely populated, making them suitable for hiding after causing trouble."
Chu Yi led her walking on the bustling night market streets. The lights of the surrounding shops and restaurants were bright and dazzling, making it overwhelming.
While Chu Yi was talking about demons, Ling Luo stopped in front of a street stall, bent down and looked curiously at the various small gadgets placed on the ground.
"What is this?" she asked, pointing at a small black gourd.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a mustache. Hearing this, he replied, "This is a jade gourd that can contain the moon in the sky."
After hearing this, Lingluo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chu Yi, who was walking in front, looked back.
"The moon in the sky?" Ling Luo picked up the small black gourd and asked, "Where did the moon come from? How do I put it in there?"
"Let me show you." The man with the mustache took the jade gourd, broke it in half, and handed it to Lingluo, saying with a smile, "Young lady, please take a look."
The half-broken jade gourd was filled with clear water, and a full moon was shining brightly on the water.
"It's quite interesting." Lingluo asked, "How much do you sell it for?"
Moustache: "Fifteen silver coins."
Lingluo paid for it and took the black gourd to chase Chu Yi.
Chu Yi stood in front of her and waited for her to leave. He asked, "What did you buy?"
"I bought the Moon in the Sky." Lingluo handed him the black gourd and said, "Here you go, a meeting gift from my junior sister."
Chu Yi: “…”
Lingluo smiled with her eyes narrowed, in a good mood, and ignored him, running away to another stall to buy some snacks for herself.
The black gourd was small, only about the size of a baby's fist. Chu Yi took a look at it, then put it away and followed Ling Luo in front of him.
They were going to a small town called Simo in the deep mountains outside Donghai City. Because we are located deep in the mountains and the roads are difficult to travel, it is difficult to contact the outside world.
When Chu Yi returned to Tianji, he heard on the way that there was often a wind monster causing trouble in Simo Town. When people climbed the mountain walls with difficulty to go to the outside world to buy and sell goods, the monster would blow up gusts of black wind, blowing people off the high mountain walls and into its mouth.
The wind monster only likes to eat human eyeballs. If you are swallowed by the black wind, you will definitely lose your eyes even if you are lucky enough to survive.
On the way, Chu Yi said, "We must find a way to get rid of this evil demon that is causing trouble to the world."
Lingluo followed beside him without saying a word.
But she remembered many things.
Yun Shouxi has three disciples in total.
He taught his disciples a lot, both in terms of Taoism and techniques.
Ling Luo once wanted to be someone like her master:
Be kind, be strong, serve the people, uphold justice, and save the world.
Yun Shouxi is a good master. Ling Luo respects him, but also hates him.
The eldest brother is unruly, the second brother is gentle, and the youngest sister is well-behaved.
That's how it started.
But things change unpredictably.
Six days later, the brother and sister arrived in the mountains.
Ling Luo stood there looking at the roads that led out of the steep mountain wall with raised eyebrows. Chu Yi was flying his sword in the sky, with his hands clasped in his sleeves, looking down at everything below the mountain with disdain.
"Let's wait here until the wind monster shows up." Chu Yi said.
Ling Luo was wearing a cape and a hat. She turned around and looked at him, "Brother, if you were a wind demon, would you dare to come out when you saw two cultivators standing by?"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why not? Isn't it quite crazy?"
Lingluo thought to herself that it was because I believed your lies in my previous life that I waited for a month but there was no sign of the wind demon.
"I don't think it dares, because we are too powerful and it is scared." Lingluo said as she walked up the mountain wall.
Chu Yi followed beside him on his sword. After hearing this, he looked at Ling Luo with a strange look in his eyes: "Junior sister, compared with the two of you, you are obviously the crazier."
The road is so narrow that you can only move forward along the mountain wall. Looking down, you can't see the bottom. If a timid person goes up, his legs will become weak and he may not be able to walk at all.
Lingluo walked in small steps, ignoring the sarcastic tone in his words, and said, "I will try to pretend to be a passerby to lure it out. Brother, stay away from me and don't scare it."
Chu Yi snorted with laughter, flew away on his sword, and explored the way ahead of her.
Lingluo walked slowly along the entire cliff and arrived safely at the foot of the cliff.
Chu Yi also put away his sword.
Lingluo gathered up her sleeves and said, "Unlucky, I didn't encounter the wind demon."
Passing villagers: "..."
Not encountering the wind demon means you are unlucky? You are crazy!
Chu Yi noticed someone coming over, turned around, looked at the three people carrying backpacks in front of him, and asked, "Where are you going?"
One of the villagers was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment before answering, "Go to the nearby town to buy medicine for my wife."
"Are you not afraid of the wind monster?" Chu Yi said, "The sun has already set, and it will be more dangerous to travel at night."
"How can I not be afraid!" said another villager, "But my sister is almost dying of pain without medicine!"
"Then go ahead." Chu Yi flew up on his sword again, "I'll watch over you and make sure you're safe."
The villagers were stunned by the flying sword and shouted excitedly: "Hero! Daojun!"
Lingluo was looking up at the bottom of the mountain.
Under Chu Yi's protection, the wind monster did not dare to attack the villagers.
We have to find a way to make the wind demon take action, otherwise it will be the same as before. It has great endurance and can endure for more than a month, and finally takes the risk to come out and commit crimes because it is too hungry.
This is what Lingluo thought.
But the truth is:
Days after days, they escorted the villagers in and out of the cliff every day. Even if someone accidentally slipped and fell, he would be picked up by Chu Yi who was flying the sword.
But there was no trace of the wind demon.
Instead, we harvested piles of cakes and melons sent by the villagers.
People were very grateful for the protection of both men.
A month passed, and Lingluo had long since changed out of the cloak she had worn when she came. Now she was standing in the river with her sleeves rolled up, holding a melon and her skirt lifted up, stepping into the water to cool off.
She took the time to look in the direction of the mountain wall. Chu Yi flew down on his sword and looked at her speechlessly at the river: "What am I going to drink if you step in?"
"Why don't you just go upstream and drink?" Lingluo shrugged.
Chu Yi stood on the shore and looked at her expressionlessly.
Lingluo raised her hand and pointed again, "Or you can drink the water they brought."
Chu Yi went to the simple tent that the two of them had set up and took out a water bag to drink.
This tent is mainly used to store things sent by the villagers. Lingluo sleeps inside the tent and Chu Yi sleeps outside.
"Brother, in more than a month, we have almost become the patron saints of the villagers." Lingluo said while eating melon, "If we leave, this wind demon might come out right away."
"Then give it a try."
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he took action immediately.
The two pretended to leave the mountain wall for a few days, hiding in the dark and waiting for the wind monster to appear.
It turns out this guy is more cunning than expected.
Lingluo was convinced.
No matter in the past life or this life, she admired the patience of this wind demon.
But there was no way. If the wind monster wanted to hide, it would be difficult for them to find it.
He pretended to hide for several days, but was finally exposed when he went to rescue a villager who almost fell off a cliff.
Lingluo returned to the mountain river and sighed.
After escorting the villagers back, Chu Yi looked at Ling Luo who was treading water in the river thoughtfully: "If you don't save him, the wind demon might come out in a day or two."
He had asked the same question in his previous life.
Ling Luo's answer was the same as in her previous life: "Comparing the wind demon to a life, of course the life is more important."
Chu Yi said: "If the wind demon insists on not coming out, we can't stay here for a year or two. We can save it once, but there are always second and third times."
"Brother, the man almost died just now and it had nothing to do with the wind demon." Ling Luo bent down, stretched out her hands and sprinkled water on her arms to cool them down. "The reason why he almost died was the steep mountain wall, the mountain that is difficult for ordinary people to cross, and the fact that they don't have a flat and wide road leading to the outside world."
"As long as this mountain is not flat, killing the wind monster won't save them."
Chu Yi looked at her seriously, as if he was taking a serious look at the person in front of him for the first time.
But what Lingluo saw was the terrifying mountain wall dyed with gorgeous colors at dusk.
There are some supreme beings in the fairy world today who can cut the mountain wall in half with one sword. He doesn’t need to be far away, just the head of Tianji can do it.
But when they practice Taoism, they pursue the supreme realm.
It is the unity of sword and heart.
It is the great way to ascend.
It's not about cutting through mountains to build roads, but about building dragon cars to fly into the clouds.
Before becoming a demon, Lingluo had opened up mountains and built roads, constructed a dragon chariot to fly into the clouds, fought against hundreds of thousands of demons and eliminated thousands of harms, and guarded the city in danger for more than three months, saving countless lives.
At that time, she was the pride of the immortal sect.
She was truly dedicated to doing good and doing the right thing.
