Chapter 4 Chapter 4 They are all dead
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue stared at Pei Zichen blankly, a little dazed.
Is he talking to her?
Talking to a tiger in such a coquettish manner?
Jiang Zhaoxue looked around, and this action made Pei Zichen smile. The moment Jiang Zhaoxue turned around, Pei Zichen pointed his finger directly and landed on Jiang Zhaoxue's forehead.
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned, and then she felt spiritual power pouring into her body. When she realized what Pei Zichen was doing, Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and ran away!
My goodness, what decent person would cast a shrinking spell on someone the first time they meet?
However, it was too late. The moment Jiang Zhaoxue turned around, her body became empty and she turned into a cub falling from the sky. Pei Zichen raised his hand and grabbed her, then held her in his arms and dropped her to the ground.
"Senior brother," the boy she had mistaken for at first rushed over and said happily, "You're back?"
As he spoke, other disciples also came over one after another. Among them, three disciples who were wearing the same white robes with blue cranes as Pei Zichen arrived the fastest. They surrounded Pei Zichen and excitedly said, "Senior Brother!"
“Senior Brother!”
"Brother, how are you? Is everything going well?"
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Pei Zichen nodded to the four of them, skillfully adjusted Jiang Zhaoxue in his hands, and held her firmly in his arms.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at him helplessly and did not confront him forcefully.
We are all going to the temple together anyway, so there is no need since we are already here.
She leaned against Pei Zichen, listening to him calmly ask the boy who had come running over first, "Jinglan, is everything going well?"
Jinglan? Gu Jinglan?
Jiang Zhaoxue took a look at the young man and roughly recognized him. He seemed to be the disciple who entered Shen Yuqing's sect in the same year as Pei Zichen?
"I'm almost dead." Gu Jinglan listened to Pei Zichen's words, untied the token from his waist, handed it to Pei Zichen, turned around and looked at a middle-aged man not far away, and complained, "That Gao Wen, he goes east and west when I tell him to go, causing trouble all the way. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise we would all be finished!"
After hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue finally understood why the mission token was in Gu Jinglan's hands.
The token will have a connection with the team leader's disciple. Pei Zichen must have separated from the team to do something, and in order to make it easier to find him, he gave the task token to the disciple named "Jing Lan".
After confirming his identity, Jiang Zhaoxue felt that he was in trouble.
If this person is Pei Zichen, then he is much stronger than she imagined. If he doesn't use magic or a human body, how can he get him into the barrier?
While Jiang Zhaoxue was thinking, Pei Zichen took the token from Gu Jinglan and nodded, saying, "You've worked hard."
"You know I've worked hard, so treat me to a meal when you get back." Gu Jinglan and Pei Zichen were obviously very familiar with each other. He started jokingly, then his eyes fell on Jiang Zhaoxue and he asked curiously, "Brother, why did you bring back a big cat? Do you want to raise it? Does Huang Tianhoutu in your yard agree? This is a big cat. I don't want it to eat those two local dogs when you're not around. How about this," Gu Jinglan stretched out his hand excitedly, "I'll help you raise it!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "..."
The abacus beads hit her in the face, little kid.
Fortunately, Gu Jinglan was unreliable, but Pei Zichen still had some sense. Seeing Gu Jinglan reaching out, Pei Zichen raised his hand to stop him and said seriously: "Its aura is pure and righteous, it should not be a spiritual creature that belongs here. I will take it out of the mountain later and let it go. Rare beasts in the forest have their own home."
Hearing this, Gu Jinglan was a little disappointed, but he still withdrew his hand and said unwillingly: "Okay. I will find Li Nu to propose marriage myself in the future."
Jiang Zhaoxue sighed inwardly as he listened to them studying how to raise cats.
Thinking that the Lingjian Xian Pavilion is really getting worse with each generation, I have no time to do any work and just want to raise a cat.
Even this Pei Zichen, who spoke in high-sounding terms, but looking at his proficiency in petting cats...
Haha, seventeen years old, just the age to tease cats and dogs, just a child.
But this has little to do with her. Her main goal now is to coax Pei Zichen into the temple. The tree demon was dealt with so easily that there were no villains to deal with Pei Zichen. How should she get Pei Zichen into the temple?
Jiang Zhaoxue was pondering. Seeing the obedient white tiger in his arms, Pei Zichen turned his gaze away from Jiang Zhaoxue, put on his badge, and looked around. Seeing that the disciples had gradually stood up, he announced to everyone in a gentle but clear voice, "My fellow disciples, the formation has been broken. If we move forward, we will no longer be affected by it. Let's continue on."
"Oh," a man's voice rang out upon hearing this, complaining, "It won't be affected, it won't be affected. That sounds better than singing. You're never here when something happens. Are you kidding us?"
Jiang Zhaoxue heard the voice and looked towards the person who spoke.
He was a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an ordinary appearance and a rather plump figure. His cultivation level was a golden elixir, but his spiritual energy was weak, and it was obvious that his golden elixir was formed by the impact of drugs.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Jinglan immediately started yelling, "Gao Wen, are you done yet? I told you not to go east, but you went west, and it was you who provoked the tree demon. Now it's you who's chattering non-stop. If you're unhappy, get out of here! Stay away from us, or we'll be killed!"
Hearing the name Gao Wen, Jiang Zhaoxue had some impression of him. He seemed to be the uncle of Shen Yuqing's junior sister Wen Xiaoan?
In the past, she always wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Yuqing. Although she didn't know other people, she knew a lot of relatives related to Shen Yuqing.
Fortunately, Shen Yuqing grew up in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. All her relatives were from the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. Most of her fellow disciples died in the battle of Cangming Sea, leaving only two junior sisters whom she raised. One of them died before she got married, leaving Wen Xiaoan as the only child.
So she didn't need to know many relatives, so she got to know Wen Xiaoan's relatives as well.
But there is no impression of Gao Wen or Gu Jinglan in the book. What happened to them later?
Jiang Zhaoxue subconsciously recalled and suddenly heard Anan sigh.
"Dead."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. Anan glanced at the group of people and sighed, "By the time Shen Yuqing arrived tonight, everyone here would be dead except Pei Zichen."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat. Anan Fei, perched on the tree closest to Jiang Zhaoxue, advised, "But Master, don't overthink it. These are their fates. Don't worry about it. You can't do anything about it. Think about how to get Pei Zichen into the temple."
Jiang Zhaoxue knew that Anan was right.
Do not interfere with other people's fate unless necessary, otherwise you will pay the price.
This is the first sentence every fortune teller learns when he or she begins the path of cultivation.
Therefore, when a fortune teller asks for divination, he knows countless future events in his mind and never changes them unless necessary.
Jiang Zhaoxue wasn't interested in the unchangeable future, so she rarely paid attention to it. She just lived each day to the fullest, and other people didn't have much to do with her.
The best way to protect yourself is to stay away from dying people.
Without emotion, there will be no desire to change.
Jiang Zhaoxue interrupted his thoughts in time, looked up at the dilapidated temple, listened to Gu Jinglan and Gao Wen arguing, and began to think about how to let them discover this temple naturally and reasonably.
The two men quarreled fiercely, and each of them stood on one side with two groups of disciples.
This time the group was obviously divided into two factions. Jiang Zhaoxue listened briefly and roughly understood that one faction was composed of disciples from Luoxia Peak headed by Pei Zichen, and the other was composed of disciples from Lanyue Peak headed by Gao Wen.
It was obvious that the two sides had been disagreeing for a long time. Once Gu Jinglan and Gao Wen started arguing, they kept arguing. They stood not far from the barrier, scolding each other and chattering non-stop.
"The Pavilion Master asked us to follow him, so he has to take care of us. He wants to take all the credit for himself. As the leader of the team looking for Lingxiaohua, he should act like a leader. You want to chase me away with just one word? You people from Luoxia Peak are really overbearing."
"We're being overbearing? You guys at Lanyue Peak are the ones who want to take advantage of everything! It was Senior Brother who broke the formation, it was Senior Brother who killed the monster, and all you do is sneer and mock, and when you go back you just want to take the credit. Who doesn't know you're just here to get assigned missions?"
"Who's behind this? It was your Luoxia Mountain's mistress who poisoned my junior sister. We saved your Luoxia Mountain's junior sister. Do you want us to risk our lives?"
"Then don't come!"
"Okay, let's go our separate ways now!"
Gao Wen seemed to be extremely angry. He turned around and walked out, sword in hand, calling out to everyone, "Let's go!"
The direction he turned was exactly the direction of the barrier. Jiang Zhaoxue saw that it was a great opportunity. Without saying a word, she jumped off Pei Zichen and bumped into Gao Wen hard before everyone was prepared!
Although her size had shrunk, her strength had not decreased at all. Gao Wen was hit hard from behind by her like a battering ram, and he flew out in an instant and crashed into the barrier.
Everyone was startled by her collision. The disciples of Lanyue Peak reacted instantly and drew their swords. After Jiang Zhaoxue finished her task, she quickly ran back behind Pei Zichen and blocked him in front of her.
Her movements were so smooth that by the time the people from Lanyue Peak shouted, "Senior Brother Pei, you're letting the tiger do this, that's going too far!", she had already dodged perfectly behind Pei Zichen.
Pei Zichen said nothing, looking at her helplessly. Instead, Gu Jinglan smiled and said happily: "As expected of the tiger that Senior Brother has taken a fancy to, he has great potential and a destiny to become an immortal!"
"you!"
The disciple of Lanyue Peak spoke angrily, but only looked at Pei Zichen and did not dare to take a step forward.
Pei Zichen thought for a moment after seeing this, then said calmly, "Don't vent your anger on this ordinary tiger. It was my intention for it to hurt people. We are all here tonight to find the trumpet creeper, so we should work together. Fellow disciples, please stop arguing. Call Senior Brother Gao and find a safe place first. We can continue searching for the trumpet creeper at dawn when the yin is weak and the yang is strong. If you don't want to," Pei Zichen raised his eyes, "then we can go our separate ways. That's fine too."
As he spoke, Pei Zichen turned around, picked up Jiang Zhaoxue, and turned to leave.
Everyone looked at each other.
The Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion had dispatched numerous personnel to search for the Sky-High Crescent Flower, each team led by a disciple at the Golden Core Stage or above. The only truly capable member of their group was Pei Zichen. Without him, they were somewhat apprehensive to remain alone in the Black Moon Forest. But they also didn't dare abandon Gao Wen.
While these Lanyue Peak disciples were hesitating, Gao Wen suddenly laughed loudly in the distance: "Great!"
Hearing this, everyone turned around in confusion, but saw nothing in the distance, as if Gao Wen had disappeared.
Pei Zichen frowned, and Gu Jinglan asked cautiously, "Gao Wen?"
"Here it is!"
Gao Wen spoke loudly, and just as he finished speaking, the surroundings slowly lit up, and a dilapidated temple with bright lights appeared in everyone's sight.
The dilapidated temple is not big, with mottled vermilion, broken doors and windows, and a copper bell hanging under the eaves of the temple. Along with the creaking and knocking sounds of the doors and windows, the crisp tinkling echoes in the wilderness under the moon, which seems particularly weird.
Gao Wen stood at the gate of the dilapidated temple, sword in hand, and said proudly, "Junior Brother Pei, if you want to leave, go ahead. We'll rest here tonight. The temple is a place favored by the gods, so it's the safest place. We'll wait until daybreak and then set off again."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen looked back warily.
Gao Wen raised his lip. "I found this temple. First, I need to get the trumpet creeper. There are a thousand ways to do it, but I don't have to follow Junior Brother Pei. Junior Brother Pei, don't take yourself too seriously. You should know that there are thousands of geniuses in the world of cultivation. There are countless carp that can reach the Dragon Gate, but only one can jump over it. What about the rest?"
Gao Wen leaned forward slightly, as if cursing, "It's like a tall building. When it rises, thousands of people praise it. But when it collapses, it turns to ashes in an instant."

Pei Zichen: "It's a cat, so cute, I can't help but smile."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Oh, it's really a little brat, catch him!"
