Yun Xian spoke cheerfully but walked quickly, and in no time he was next to Jimo Shu.
Although the saint is different from ordinary demons, she is still a demon after all, the enemy of Buddhism. Living people can recognize her, but those with obsessions may not be able to distinguish her when they are old. If a bolt of lightning strikes her, she will be doomed!
"I'm fine," Jimo Shu said expressionlessly, "I just haven't seen the Buddha statue much. Can't I take a closer look?"
Yun Xian: “…”
Jimo Shu: "What for?"
"If you hadn't said the first half, I might have actually believed it." Yun Xian frowned and said, "I didn't ask if you were okay, but you told me you were fine. So you must be okay, don't you think?"
Feng Ye said: "Yes, yes. Lady Saint, what happened to you? Were you beaten by the masters?"
What to say, Qi Xingye: "My master would have beaten me up a long time ago, why now?"
"..." Jimo Shu didn't know whether she should be happy or not. She turned around with a stiff face and walked away: "Leave me alone!"
Yun Xian raised his hoof and chased after her: "Stop! Lady Saint, how would we know if you don't tell us? It doesn't matter, don't be afraid! Even if Abbot Mingxiang hits you secretly, I will still support you! We are in the right and we have our heads held high!"
Abbot Mingxiang: "Ahem!"
Jimo Shu: "I told you to leave me alone!"
Yun Xian: "Just take care of it, then hit me!"
As expected, Yun Xian was beaten. A piece of silk was slapped into the soft pile of fallen leaves that the young monk had just swept up. It didn't fall anywhere, and the red leaves fluttered, instantly filling the entire field of vision.
The little monk exclaimed, Jimo Shu looked back at Yun Xian among the maple leaves and bit her lips lightly.
Spring in the cities, summer in the lotus seat, and autumn in Buddhism.
She had seen all the scenery she had never seen before, but she didn't know when the next winter would come.
The Saint Lady hurried back to her room, and Yun Xian was hurriedly pulled up, feeling a little dazed.
"To be honest." Yun Xian whimpered and got up, feeling aggrieved. "This is the first time she really hit me. Even my mother never hit me like this... Well, my mother hit me much harder."
Qiao Lingshan: "What happened to her?"
"I don't know." Yun Xian patted his clothes and suddenly said, "I always feel that she is leaving."
Although Jimo Shu had never really "come". Every time, it was either "an encounter", "coincidence", or "forced", in short, not once did she take the initiative to follow. She never let on that intention, even though everyone could see it.
Qi Zhiye frowned as he looked at the witch's incompatible back and asked, "Master, what happened just now?"
Mingguang just shook his head and said nothing.
Su Chi looked into the distance, his expression slightly changed.
Sure enough, Yun Xian's premonition was always correct, but the situation was better than she thought. Jimo Shu stayed for a few more days and left without telling anyone. However, when Yun Xian got up the next day, she found a letter and an ugly stone on her desk.
The letter didn't say much, just that he'd left and told everyone not to look for him. The stone was used to detect demonic energy. If someone within three feet of him was affected by demonic energy, the stone would heat up.
There were only two lines of words, and nothing else, just a blank.
Everyone looked at the letter and the stone in silence.
Qi Zhiye: "I really don't understand!"
Qiao Lingshan: "She's alone... no, a demon, where can she go?"
Feng Ye: "It's too sudden. At least tell us..."
Ji Rongxue said, "She has her own things to do."
Xue Lingxiu didn't say anything, but just said firmly: "This handwriting is uglier than yours."
Everyone was immersed in a faint sadness, but after hearing his words, they took another look. The Saint Lady's appearance was unparalleled, surpassing all the beauties, but her handwriting was incomplete, sometimes round, sometimes crooked. If they didn't know it was written by Jimo Shu, it would look like Wang Erya from the village entrance.
No wonder she transformed into a little novice nun when she was sitting on the lotus seat! If she went in with Yun Xian, she would have to copy scriptures. Copying scriptures would inevitably expose her identity. Given her temper, she would definitely say things like "blind your eyes" and "peel off your skin."
Yun Xian: “…………”
Oh my God, how could this attack her?
She put the letter into her storage ring, threaded the stone through it and put it on her wrist. She stood up and said, "We should be heading back soon."
That's all. She's always been open-minded. Fate will eventually lead to meeting someone, and she can't just let everyone become a pendant, tied to her belt.
Besides, she always had a certain confidence, that is, if Jimo Shu was not helpless, she would never refuse to see her. In that case, it was not Jimo Shu's fault. She could only wait or create an opportunity. That was all.
She also wants to investigate the matter of the Demon Cult. No matter what happens between a man and a demon, they will end up in the same destination and there will always be a chance for them to meet again.
However, it seems that even though Jimo Shu had been "on the run" for so long, she was still noticed by the Demon Cult.
No matter how you look at it, the situation is not good.
After staying for a few more days, the trip was successfully completed. The group said goodbye to the abbot and Mingguang, and took away the next abbot Qi Zhiye. The treasure ship was released, and outside the mountain gate, the tabloid reporters who got the news held the brushes in their mouths, their eyes shining, and started writing frantically!
Yun Xian took a look and found that this time the writing was very much to her liking:
Yun Xian is a guest at the Buddhist temple. Is the Buddha Sword thing just empty talk?
Five Years of Networking and Three Years of Simulation: The Far-Reaching Influence of Buddhism
"Number One on the Rising Star List is Homecoming!"
"These people have come from far and wide," Qiao Lingshan said speechlessly. "I've seen quite a few tabloid editors pretending to be pilgrims in the main hall these days. If they don't make money, who will?"
"Not only did he earn one, he earned two." Yun Xian said, "Zhong Changyao still had to buy press releases from them. Tsk, by the way, I wonder how Shu Jiuwei is doing in Xuanbao Pavilion?"
She had only left Shu Jiuwei in Xuanbao Pavilion, not restricting her movements. If the princess insisted on going out to look for Zhong Changyao, no one could stop her.
Xue Lingxiu went there and bought a tabloid, reading it intently.
"Hu Zi and Ya Jian didn't know each other until they fought. Now they call each other brothers. It's truly a noble brotherhood..." Xue Lingxiu said miserably, "This prince's name is Hu Zi? Too lame. Who gave it to him? Never mind, never mind. The monster's appearance is as lame as his name. Shu Jiuwei has disappeared..."
He turned the page and continued reading another page: "A rare snow fox appeared on the outskirts of Qiankun City. It had two tufts of clever fur on the tips of its ears. It was smart and cute. Fortunately, it was not difficult to deceive... It was captured by the crowd and sent to the Qiankun Auction House to be auctioned on a chosen day."
Yun Xian: "...Don't tell me that the white fox is Shu Jiuwei."
Su Chi said, "It's her."
Yun Xian: "Big Brother, how did you know?"
"I've seen the royal family of the Fox Tribe before." Su Chi said calmly, "Having sideburns around the ears is a royal trait."
"..." Yun Xian held his forehead with his hand: "Princess, you are smart and have thick fur, why are you so stupid!"
If her original form was a Tibetan fox, she wouldn't have been a big deal if she transformed back into a beast and wandered the countryside. Shu Jiuwei's original form was a royal snow fox, and she looked incredibly expensive. Given her temperament, if she were captured by a group of ordinary people, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to claim she was a princess. She'd probably insist she was just an ordinary fox and be sent to the auction house.
"Miss Liu is at the auction, and so is that fat fox." Xue Lingxiu said slowly, "It probably won't be auctioned, don't worry."
Qi Zhiye: "...Such a stupid fox can't be sold at a high price."
No one could refute it.
"Yun Xian, will Miss Liu fall in love with someone else and get tired of the old and love the new?" Feng Ye said weakly: "Look, the princess has all the looks she likes. She can understand what people say, she's a bit clumsy but can take care of herself, she'll pick up her hair when it sheds, and she'll drink water and eat when she's thirsty or hungry. In her original form, she's probably the most beautiful fox in the world, not fat and slender, so it's much easier to bathe her, blow-dry her, and hold her."
This is truly terrifying! Yun Xian immediately slammed the railing: "No! If you pass by Qiankun City, you must go to the auction house to take a look!"
“…”
The group's destination was back to the northern border.
After a conversation with Abbot Mingxiang, Yun Xian, Xue Lingxiu, Ji Rongxue, and Feng Ye each sent a letter to their respective sects, urging them to be vigilant and identify those infected by demonic energy. If any signs of abnormality were detected, they should be alert and respond accordingly. Although this method was not very efficient, it was at least a last-ditch effort; if only one person could be saved, then one would be saved.
The place where the treasure ship is heading now is near the junction of the northern and western boundaries. It is said that a disciple reported that a wandering cultivator suddenly went crazy and killed his entire family that night, including his baby. He also told the world in a crazy manner that he was the leader of the righteous path and that he would kill all nine generations of his clan... But it doesn't matter whether he is crazy or not. What matters is that demonic energy was found on the dead body, and this wandering cultivator is still on the run, causing panic among the people.
This might be an entry point, so everyone should go over there and take a look.
Unfortunately, at the junction of the northern and western boundaries, the largest sect that controls the surrounding area is the Body Forging Sect, which is separated from the Sword Sect.
The treasure ship was moving forward through the wind. Yun Xian saw Ji Rongxue leaning against the stern alone and asked, "Miss, are you alone?"
Ji Rongxue turned around, faced her, and nodded.
Yun Xian suddenly remembered that Ji Rongxue had never turned his back on anyone at any time.
This is not important. Yun Xian wandered over to her side and said, "You haven't told a joke in a few days."
"Actually, when Su Chi was talking about the differences among the royal family of the fox clan just now, I had thought about it, but I didn't say it." Ji Rongxue said.
"What?" Yun Xian asked curiously, "Tell me about it?"
Ji Rongxue said coldly: "Encyclopedia."
Yun Xian: “…………”
Even the winter wind is not this cold.
Indeed, she is still as sharp as ever. However, she is not old yet, but she is almost making people look old before her.
"I don't have many hobbies. As for why I like to talk about this." Ji Rongxue smiled faintly again and said, "I feel happy when I see others trying hard not to express themselves."
Her eyebrows and eyes were cold, and the corners of her lips were naturally downward, so even when she smiled, it was still cold, not warm.
But the spiritual energy of her skills is clearly of fire attribute.
"Delight... the word I used..." Yun Xian didn't know where to start complaining. After a while, he forced himself to change the subject and said straight to the point: "Miss, you have been very worried recently."
"Yes." Ji Rongxue did not deny it: "I was thinking about one thing. If I can't tell whether it is worth it or not, should I do it?"
Yun Xian moved closer to her: "But before you do something, you don't know whether it's worth it or not."
"Some things are obvious." Ji Rongxue continued, "Put your question in another way. If my friend is in trouble and needs help, and I'm also hesitant about whether I should pay an unknown price to help her—"
Yun Xian: "No help."
Decisive and decisive, no need to think.
Ji Rongxue looked at her in surprise, then her expression calmed down: "Why are you so sure?"
"If you hesitate, don't help." Yun Xian said, "Even if you hesitate for a moment, it means I will remember the price she paid, and sooner or later, I will want to get it back from her. If that's the case, it's better not to help—you also said that you don't know if she needs help."
"...That's a very Yunxian way of saying it." Ji Rongxue said gently, "You mean, if you don't do it willingly, you won't help others? And if you do help, you won't expect anything in return?"
Yun Xian: "Don't you believe it?"
Ji Rongxue: "I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, then why don't you give it a try?" Yun Xian smiled brightly at her. "What happened? I'm willing to help you."
Ji Rongxue looked at her intently, as if he was considering something. After a while, he said, "Yun Xian, this matter is very troublesome."
Yun Xian: "If it's not troublesome, there's no need for me to show up."
Ji Rongxue: "Important things should be repeated three times. I have also asked you three times since the last day. You can change your mind at any time."
Yun Xian said: "You say."
Frost suddenly fell outside the window, and the first snowflake floated down, brushing across Ji Rongxue's eyebrows.
"Half a month later, the Body Strengthening Sect will hold a funeral banquet. Everyone will return to the sect to pay their respects for ten days."
Ji Rongxue's voice was colder than the snow: "At that time - I want the position of the head."
