cannon fodder
As expected, Xingyun was beaten up by Pei Xilai.
There was cheering all around, and when Pei Xilai walked down the ring with an expressionless face, he actually had the air of a hermit.
Chang Xia brought Li Bai and looked at him with a smile: "After you are done, I will tell you that the man you just beat up is the Buddhist disciple of Xiaoling Mountain, the future Zen Master."
Pei Xilai looked blankly at the monk on the stage who was still grimacing in pain and gasping for air, and uttered a word softly: "Ah"
Then he fell into deep isolation.
Over there, Xingyun cleaned himself up and jumped down as well. He looked at Changxia speechlessly: "How could Pei Jianshou raise him to be so naive?"
Chang Xia thought for a moment and said, "It's enough for people of Sanchi Dao to have high martial arts skills. They don't need to have brains."
Anyway, no matter what conspiracy or trick it is, just cut it off with one sword.
Changxia often solves problems in this way.
"You're not strong enough yet to appreciate the benefits of doing things without having to think."
Xingyun: ...
These words sounded like she was scolding someone else, but also like she was scolding herself.
Sometimes Xingyun had to admit that his kung fu skills were not good enough and he could not learn Changxia's art of speaking.
He took out two volumes of scriptures from his storage bag and handed them to Li Bai who was next to Changxia.
"I should have given it to you last time we met, as a meeting gift."
Oh, I was regretting that I didn’t give the Zen Master a meeting gift before, but now it’s here.
The greatest treasure of Buddhism is the wordless scripture.
Li Bai didn't know whether to answer it or not, and looked at Changxia eagerly.
The latter held up his hand to block it: "I only have this one junior sister who can still meet people normally. Don't try to change her temperament with these books."
Xingyun looked at her thoughtfully, then put the scripture away nonchalantly.
Instead, she took out a string of shimmering beads, the kind a little girl would like.
"If you don't want it, I won't give it to you either. You rejected me once, but you can't refuse me again this time. I spent a lot of time picking this out in the store and I'm going to give it to my unborn niece."
Seeing that the materials used for these beads were very common, I knew that these should be ordinary jewelry sold to female cultivators in the Chamber of Commerce. However, they were made more exquisitely and must have cost a lot.
Compared to the Buddhist and Taoist treasure, the Wordless Sutra, the beaded girl's gift was obviously much more appropriate, and Changxia finally nodded.
Li Bai received the signal, happily accepted it, and said sweetly thank you, young master.
Those who came to watch the game and to gamble gradually dispersed.
Changxia also sent Li Bai to the corner to comfort Pei Xilai, and suddenly only she and Xingyun were left at the ring.
Xingyun looked at the girl's back as she walked away, and said to Changxia with a smile: "Protecting her like this..."
"Our Libai is still young, and can't bear the wordless scripture of Xiaoling Mountain."
Xingyun: "Then I can handle Master's Mountain and Sea Scroll."
Chang Xia: "So I want to help her slowly pay off the debt she already owes, and not add any new debts."
In the days that followed, Chang Xia decided to be a bad guy and try his best to cut off the cause and effect of the connection between Li Bai and Cang Xuan.
The more benefits she accepts now, the more she will have to pay back in the future. Changxia is afraid that she will not be able to pay it back.
Now everyone wants to establish a cause and effect relationship with Li Bai. No matter whether the immortal world or Cang Xuan wins in the future battle, Li Bai must return the luck he has obtained now.
When the luck returns to the heaven and earth, those who are karmic connected with her can share the luck based on this karma. Naturally, the deeper the karma is now, the more luck they will share.
Her junior sister is now a popular commodity who can be used for both offense and defense.
Xingyun chanted the Buddha's name softly: "Amitabha, Senior Sister, this road you are on is not easy."
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit. Destroying other people's interests has always been an irreconcilable hatred.
Chang Xia smiled nonchalantly: "What does it matter? They can't beat me."
The only person in the world who can completely defeat her is Bie Jingchun, and coincidentally, he is her master.
Xingyun looked at her with a complicated expression, opened his mouth to say a few words, but stopped himself.
Changxia didn't pay much attention to his gaze.
Zuo Qin’s judgment on her was correct, she would definitely protect Li Bai.
Because she was powerless once more than a thousand years ago, she will do her best to prevent it from happening again in the future.
This is not kindness.
This is more like a pilgrim who goes to Xiaoling Mountain regardless of wind and rain.
This is her way.
She couldn't change it.
Xingyun changed the subject: "I just heard from Young Master Pei that you, Senior Sisters, are planning to go to the Western Territory."
Chang Xia replied: "Find a sword for my junior sister."
Xingyun: "Just now, Senior Sister said that she would not add new debts."
Chang Xia: "Who said I would look for her in the Sword Tomb?"
Moving Clouds:
Why would you go to the Sword Tomb if you don't choose a sword there?
Moreover, considering the luck of this junior sister Cang Fengshan, if she really went there, all those swords would come to her for her to choose from.
Chang Xia saw his unfinished intention, her eyebrows flew up, and her expression was unusually perverse: "Don't worry, if I want, no sword in the sword tomb will choose anyone else."
Xingyun was slightly stunned. The yellow-robed swordsman's demeanor and words were extremely arrogant, yet it was impossible to refute them.
She was so radiant.
So dazzling.
Xingyun lowered his head and said, "It's rare to see Senior Sister so confident."
Changxia curled the corners of his mouth, put his hands behind his back and walked forward.
"I rarely say anything I want to say, except for two things."
She didn’t say the rest of the words - those two things, one is swordsmanship, the other is Xie Fengxue.
Chi Zhouhai is not bigger than Cang Xuan, and Cang Xuan originally occupied only a small part of Chi Zhouhai's land. It only takes half a day to walk from the northern outpost to the eastern outpost at a leisurely pace.
Changxia found a random excuse to throw Li Bai and Pei Xilai to Yu Hanzhu, and went to keep the appointment with Duan Lingya.
This man seems more energetic than a few days ago.
Instead of wearing the purple Star School uniform of Morning Star Mountain, he wore a gorgeous green dress.
Changxia thought to himself that no one looked better in green than his senior brother.
Duan Lingya bowed to her and said, "Senior Sister."
Changxia nodded as a response.
"Awake"
Duan Lingya didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I'm awake now."
He asked: "Is it really okay to talk about things here?"
There was no isolating formation, nor was there any shielding against the Heavenly Dao. He just covered the sky and the earth with his tent. He didn't think Chang Xia would be such an imprudent person.
Changxia touched the hilt of Caishou's sword, his eyelids drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.
“It’s a bit risky, but I want to verify something.”
She raised her head and looked at Duan Lingya with certainty: "Go ahead."
After hearing her say this, Duan Lingya didn't care anymore.
He had glimpsed a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, and he had no regrets in this life. It would not matter if he lay in a coffin now.
The moment he did it, he considered himself dead.
Now every hour you live is earned by yourself.
"Uncle Master, although you are not a fortune teller, you should know that destiny is predetermined. Once the future is seen by a fortune teller, it is fixed and cannot be changed."
"I have spied on the fate of everyone in Cangfeng Mountain, but found nothing until that day."
He chuckled softly.
"The day your junior sister entered the mountain, the main star of Yunting moved half an inch. I suddenly remembered the idle chat among my senior brothers. They said that Cangfeng Mountain is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Every new disciple who enters the mountain will cause the stars to deviate from their orbits."
"And just then, I suddenly had a bold idea."
Changxia held the sword in her hand, she already had a premonition of what Duan Lingya was thinking.
She closed her eyes and heard the young man's inexplicable and eerie voice ringing in her ears——
"Uncle, have you ever thought that the shifting of the stars might not be caused by your fellow apprentices at all?"
Just like sorting out a tangled ball of thread, in the end, the result becomes extremely clear.
Duan Lingya's sinister smile still lingered on his face. "Uncle Master, you don't seem surprised."
Chang Xia's hand holding the sword had begun to turn white, but his face was still as calm as water.
"What's so surprising?"
She repeated, "Why be surprised? Being surprised doesn't solve the problem at all."
She loosened her hand, and Caishou turned into a purple light and disappeared.
"Go on."
"After this idea flashed through my mind, I grabbed it and excitedly prepared to verify it. So I found you through meditation."
"Uncle, my target has never been your Junior Sister, but you. I need a cause and effect relationship with you to be able to calculate your fate."
The subsequent contacts and provocations were all for the purpose of obtaining more causal entanglements.
But Duan Lingya never had the chance to deduce.
Changxia's fate was concealed by a powerful fortune teller, and his fortune telling skills were only considered excellent among ordinary people.
Compared to Changxia's master behind the scenes, he is nothing.
I know that the Zen master of Xiaolingshan offered sacrifices to heaven.
Not only was Zuo Qin's mind occupied by the formation, but the mysterious fortune teller also seemed to be hindered by something.
Most importantly, they unlocked the barrier to the Heavenly Dao.
"The right time, the right place, and the right people." Duan Lingya looked at Changxia infatuatedly. "Uncle-master, for the past two years, I haven't dared to stop deducing your fate for even a moment. It's for this moment that I've finally peeled away the fog and seen your predetermined destiny."
"You should have died long ago, using your life to pave the way for the one truly favored by God."
"But for some reason, not only did you not die, but you are living better and better."
Changxia thought she would be shocked, surprised, confused or have some other emotions, but the fact was that she had none of these.
Her mind was as calm as water, and she even thought of the Sixth Junior Sister's storybook.
The protagonists in the book are blessed with everything they want and can achieve whatever they want, but the enemies who oppose them will be plagued by bad luck and their plans will fail.
She is like neither of them. She is like a supporting character in a storybook who gives the protagonist skills, money, and magic weapons, and then dies for the protagonist at an appropriate time.
Why does Sixth Sister call this kind of character?
Oh, cannon fodder.
Originally she was a cannon fodder.
But someone helped her change her fate.
She doesn't know who this person is yet.
Duan Lingya still laughed crazily, "Master, do you know what your existence means?"
"Fate is predetermined. This is a convention. Every generation of fortune tellers has tried to change the predetermined outcome they see, but no one has been able to do it! And you! The thing that Cang Xuan fortune teller has been unable to do for tens of thousands of years, to defy fate, has actually been accomplished in you!"
"Master, you are a treasure, the most unique treasure in the world, a treasure that is enough to make the whole world crazy about you!"
