Xuan Qing Zhenren walked over and put a few shredded potatoes into his mouth. "It smells so good, Xiao Lili."
Seeing this, Li Shu's eyes flashed with helplessness, "Master, you're using your hands again!"
Xuan Qing Zhenren licked his fingers and said, "What's wrong? I just washed my hands!"
Li Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, turned around with the plate in her hand and walked to the table behind her. After putting the plate down, she picked up the plate of leftovers on the table.
Then she squatted down and took out two eggs from the basket under the table.
"Fried rice with egg?" asked Master Xuanqing.
Li Shu nodded, stood up with the things in her hand, went back to the stove, and started to make fried rice with eggs.
Master Xuanqing circled around her twice and then left the kitchen.
After Li Shu finished cooking the fried rice and served it on a plate, the drizzle outside stopped.
She walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates, stopped under a big old tree in the yard, and placed the plates on the stone table.
Li Shu looked up at the tree, but there was nothing there. She said, "Master, come down to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Qing Zhenren's figure appeared on the thick tree trunk. "Xiao Li Li, how did you find out?"
"I guessed it." Li Shu retracted her gaze, turned around and walked towards the kitchen again.
Zhenren Xuanqing put his hands behind his back, jumped down from the tree, and then sat down on the stone bench.
Li Shu came back again, sat down opposite him, and shared the bowl and chopsticks in her hand with him, "Eat, Master."
Master Xuanqing took it and started eating.
After eating a few bites, he looked at Li Shu and asked, "Little Li Li, why aren't you eating? Why are you looking at me? Aren't you hungry?"
"Master, you eat, don't worry about me." Li Shu picked up the chopsticks at hand and put some shredded potatoes into his bowl, "Eat more."
"Okay, then if I finish eating, please don't say anything to me." said Master Xuanqing.
Li Shu nodded, "No."
After Xuan Qing Zhenren finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said leisurely: "I'm full, but I just need a pot of wine."
"I'll prepare it for you when we get back." Li Shu replied.
"Go back?" Xuan Qing Zhenren asked with some doubt, "Go back where?"
"Go back to where I belong." Li Shu stared at him, her eyes fixed. Her palm transformed into a knife, and she swung it directly at Master Xuanqing without mercy. She said slowly, "Master, goodbye."
In an instant, Master Xuanqing was cut in half and then turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.
The scene before him shattered like a mirror and also began to dissipate.
Li Shu was still in the woods where she was chased from beginning to end, while Jing Chen had disappeared without a trace long ago.
It goes without saying that the illusion I just experienced was caused by Jingchen.
But she always felt that the purpose of his doing this was not just to support her and buy him time to escape.
Could it be...
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Shu's face changed slightly, and she immediately turned around and disappeared on the spot.
…
The other side.
After Jingchen used the illusion to temporarily trap Li Shu, he returned to the direction of Qingfeng Temple.
He planned to take advantage of the time when Li Shu was trapped to deal with Wenxuan who was hiding in Qingfeng Temple.
Jingchen walked into Qingfeng Temple with ease and saw the main hall with lights on at a glance.
He quickly walked to the door of the main hall and saw Wenxuan kneeling in front of the golden statue with his back to him.
Wenxuan inside seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look over. When he saw who was standing at the door, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was truly devastated.
So even Sister Li...
Wenxuan slowly stood up from the ground. He no longer had any desire to live. He looked at Jingchen expressionlessly and said in a mechanical voice, "You can kill me or cut me up. Come on."
"You said you hurt so many people at once, are you happy?" Jingchen walked up to him and stopped.
Wenxuan clenched his fists at his sides and said nothing.
Jingchen raised his hand and grabbed his neck, "Don't worry, Uncle Shishu will be gentle, it will be over in a moment."
Wenxuan closed his eyes, "You are not my uncle."
"Heh." A cold light flashed in Jingchen's eyes, and he clenched his five fingers.
Just as he was about to strangle Wenxuan's neck, a golden light shot out from the golden statue and attacked him.
Jingchen frowned and immediately let go of his hand to dodge, but the golden light was too fast and just brushed past his sleeve, leaving a scratch on the cuff and also cutting the arm inside.
He raised his eyes to look at the golden statue of Xuanqing Zhenren in front of him, and thought of what Li Shu had said before about her master ascending to heaven. So was this a manifestation of the spirit?
No wonder Li Shu asked Wenxuan to come to Qingfeng Temple, it turned out to be because of this.
But if it's not in front of this golden statue, it should be fine.
Thinking of this, Jingchen's eyes moved slightly, and he planned to trick Wenxuan out of the hall first.
Wenxuan had his eyes closed, so he didn't know what happened. He just felt the hand on his neck being pulled away, and the expected death did not happen.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Jingchen standing a few steps away from him. "What do you want to do? Can you please give me a quick death?"
Jing Chen subtly withdrew his gaze and returned it to him. "Actually, Li Shu is not dead yet. Do you want to go see her?"
Wenxuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Are you serious? Sister Li is really not dead?!"
Jingchen hummed, "I can let you meet."
Wenxuan hesitated, "Can you be so kind?"
"The choice is yours. If you don't see her, you will never have the chance to see her again. I beat her so hard that she is hanging on to her last breath." Jingchen said.
Wenxuan's face changed slightly, thinking that he was going to die anyway, so why should he worry or hesitate.
If what he said was true, then I would definitely go. Even if it was a lie to deceive me, it didn't matter.
"Take me to see Sister Li!"
Jingchen turned around and walked out of the hall, "Follow me."
Wenxuan quickly followed.
As the two of them walked out of Qingfeng Temple one after the other, Jingchen suddenly turned around and attacked Wenxuan.
Wenxuan's pupils contracted when he saw this, and he stood there in a daze.
Although he knew that Jingchen would not let him go, why didn't he take action in the temple just now, and why did he suddenly attack him after leaving Qingfeng Temple?
Before Wenxuan had time to think about it, the scene in front of him changed again.
Li Shu suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked Jing Chen's attack.
Wenxuan came back to his senses, his eyes and eyebrows showing unconcealed excitement and surprise, "Sister Li, you're okay!"
Li Shu hummed, without turning around, and said in a firm tone: "Go to the hall first, don't talk nonsense, and don't make me say it again."
Wenxuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, responded and immediately turned around and returned to the Taoist temple.
