Encounter
Changxia asked Libai where he wanted to go next, and Libai said he wanted to go to Wumao City to see Fengxia Jian.
Changxia: ...
Unlucky kid.
But when Li Bai pulled Zhou Xiaosu and A Yang together, and the three of them looked at her with eager eyes at the same time, Chang Xia still couldn't resist and agreed with a softened heart.
During the following days of traveling, Changxia always wanted to slap himself in the face.
Wumao City wasn't as prosperous as Ziyou City, a boundary city. Far from Xiaoling Mountain, it even seemed a bit desolate. Li Bai and the other two didn't mind that. After spending so much time in the mountains, the mud at the foot of the mountain was fun to play with.
As soon as they got off Sanli San, they started running like crazy.
Changxia was too lazy to care about them. After giving them enough money and casting layers of restrictions and protective sword energy on each person, he let them go.
Before she entered the Tribulation Period, Chang Xia was confident that the two people who could break her sword energy were named Bie Jingchun and Pei Miaoyi.
Then--
Changxia, who was lying on Sanlisanbei basking in the sun, received a message from Libai saying that they met a strange uncle. Although he did not carry a sword, he made people feel like a cold and sharp blade was unsheathed.
The uncle seemed to be very interested in the sword energy on them. After asking a few questions, he gave each of them a jade dagger as a gift.
Chang Xia: Oh wow!
After hearing this description, she knew it was Pei Miaoyi.
Sanchidao's way of practicing sword is somewhat different from Cangfengshan's. In the later period, Cangfengshan hid the sword in a box, returning to its original simplicity. Even if people see her holding a sword, they will not feel that it is sharp.
The Three-Foot Dao is to hide the sword in your body and become one with the sword.
After mastering it, even if you don't have a sword in your hand, your whole body is actually like a sharp blade out of its sheath.
To sum it up in one sentence, people cultivate in Cangfeng Mountain, and swordsmanship is cultivated in Sanchidao.
So purely in terms of sword skills, except for the freak Bie Jingchun and Changxia who was raised by the freak, the sword skills of Cangfeng Mountain as a whole are not as good as Sanchi Dao.
But precisely because the people in Cangfeng Mountain practice other things besides swordsmanship, their overall strength may be higher, unlike Sanchi Dao who only has one sword in his life.
It is impossible to say which one is better or worse, we can only say that each has its own merits.
The only person who could be so sharp without a sword and see the sword energy in those three children was Pei Miaoyi.
Li Bai had heard A Kui talk about the sparring between Pei Jianshou and his master.
A Kui is very courageous and has a special relationship with Pei Xilai. She dares to say anything when she is bored during the journey. Therefore, Li Bai also knows that Pei Jianshou seemed to have been beaten badly by his master.
After learning the identity of the strange uncle from her senior sister, she asked nervously: "Senior sister, should we hide?"
Chang Xia didn't care: "It's okay, your senior sister is now in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Pei Jianshou can't beat us as he pleases."
Under the influence of Xie Fengxue, Li Bai actually understood what Chang Xia meant: "That means he can still beat her if he thinks of a way."
Changxia: ...
After a while, she sent back: "Don't worry, it won't be difficult for you."
Although he had boasted, Changxia still sat cross-legged on Sanli San's back after putting down the kite, thinking about whether he should withdraw first to avoid the limelight.
In the end, the idea of taking care of a few children prevailed.
At worst, Pei Jianshou would teach her a lesson, and she would ask her master to teach her back another day.
If she can't do it, there is still her master. Cultivating immortals is not just about fighting and killing, it also depends on one's identity and background.
But until dark, when Li Bai and the others had enough fun and came back, Chang Xia still hadn't seen Pei Miaoyi.
They didn't stay in the inn. Changxia also had her own cave, but it was not as well furnished as Xie Fengxue's. When Xie Fengxue was around, she usually used his. Now that she was away, she could clean up her cave and make it habitable.
Chang Xia sent a few children to make a fire and cook. He couldn't help but start thinking about what Pei Miao was doing in Wumao City.
The leader of a sect would not be as idle as her.
Wumao City is different from Ziyou City. Diaoxue is suppressed there and the boundary marker is also there, so it is considered a relatively prosperous city in the Northwest Second Mirror, with people coming and going all year round.
Anyway, as far as Changxia knew, there was nothing in Wumao City, and the only thing that could attract Pei Jianshou to come here specially was the Fengxia Sword.
I don't know what he wants to do with the sword.
Changxia intuitively felt that it was related to the Qianqiu Banquet.
If she were alone, she could join in the fun, but now that she was traveling with three children, she couldn't help but start thinking about the dangers she might encounter on this journey.
So she took out the kite and sent a message to Zuo Qin.
"I'm bringing Li Bai to the Qianqiu party, are you coming?"
Zuo Qin was always secretive, sometimes replying and sometimes not, so Chang Xia didn't expect to get a quick answer from him. After waiting for a while without a reply, she sent another message to Shen Siyan, saying that she had come to the southern border with several children and didn't want to reveal her identity.
But without revealing his identity, he couldn't take the child to Xiaoling Mountain to see the Zen master and ask him if there was any way to get a few jade seals that could be used to go to Xiaoling Mountain.
Three quarters of an hour later, he replied thoughtfully, "On the third day of the third month, come find me at the foot of Xiaoling Mountain."
Changxia finally put his mind at ease.
Asking for the jade order was naturally an excuse, because Master and Zuo Qin often went in and out of Xiaoling Mountain. She knew how to draw the formation for entering and exiting Xiaoling Mountain hundreds of years ago, so it was not a problem to smuggle a few people up there.
But the Sect Leader was leading the Qianqiu Banquet this time, so no matter what Shen Siyan did, he had to get through to the Sect Leader.
It goes without saying who the child she will bring to Xiaolingshan is.
Since he could give it, it naturally meant that the leader tacitly allowed her to take Li Bai with her.
Given Li Bai's importance, the Sect Leader dared to let her go because he naturally felt there was no danger.
As for the important matters concerning Cang Xuan and the inside stories that Chang Xia might not know, the Sect Leader must know them. As for the inside stories that even the Sect Leader does not know, it is even less likely that Pei Miaoyi would know them.
Then Changxia can rest assured about what he did in Wumao City. It won’t be a bad thing after all.
At least not for Li Bai.
That night, the kids caught some fish in the river and grilled them. The one in charge of the fire was naturally Zhou Xiaosu, the food cultivator.
He had a pretty complete set of stuff, including all kinds of spices and seasonings, and even a small fire control array.
This made Changxia once again amazed by Yunting's chef.
Even a kid is so awesome.
After eating and drinking, they got their rooms. Changxia sat on his bed and closed his eyes to analyze the formation that had appeared in Ji Sheng's dream before.
She has been busy with this since she woke up.
When Ji Sheng said they would meet again, Chang Xia knew that this formation was not a one-time thing. For more than a year, her sword energy had been wandering.
However, because she had little experience in formations, the analysis required disguising the sword energy as vitality, which had to go through several rounds of transformation before Changxia could interpret it, so progress had been very slow.
In more than a year, she only received one piece of news.
The foundation of the formation is in the western border.
She plans to find an excuse to go there sometime.
But there are new differences these days.
As the analysis deepened, her understanding of the formation became deeper and deeper.
For example, these days she has been feeling that the time when she will see Ji Sheng next time is approaching.
Changxia sat cross-legged on the bed, with a ball of purple sword intent in his palm.
The last time I entered the dream, it was because of Ye Shuxing, a mirage that was deeply connected to the lineage of the Human Emperor. What could it be this time?
And, how old will Ji Sheng be when she meets him this time?
————
Zuo Qin replied the next day. He simply said "Have fun" and then gave her a bunch of formation plates through the Thousand Mile Teleportation Formation. She glanced at them and saw ten of them.
Long Summer:
Zuo Qin: Like being on the battlefield, this is a newly developed gadget that has imaging capabilities in addition to kites. With it, you can chat with people face to face.
Chang Xia: This thing is worth your thousand-mile teleportation array to send it here
Zuo Qin: If the chat isn't going your way, you can project yourself over and give them a beating. It's like being there in person, hence the name. Because it's a projection, there are no restrictions; you can even enter Chi Zhouhai's Demon King's Lair.
Changxia: ...
Well, it was definitely worth using the Thousand Mile Teleportation Array. After all, the Demon King's Lair was in the turbulent flow of space, its location was constantly changing, and there were no coordinates. All teleportation arrays currently on the market couldn't reach it.
But can I just give her this kind of thing so easily?
Give back so much at one time.
It's rare that he's here, so Chang Xia asked again: What are you doing mysteriously lately?
Zuo Qin replied: You will know when the time comes.
After saying this, he disappeared again.
Changxia: ...
I can only say that I'm used to it.
Just as we finished chatting here, Changxia's kite started beeping again, this time it was Xie Fengxue.
He and Zuoqin moved so synced that it was hard not to suspect they were doing something behind her back.
Xie Fengxue was more direct. He used a thousand-mile teleportation array to send a bunch of spirit stones over, and also gave a few jade tokens for entering and exiting Xiaoling Mountain.
Chang Xia: Is this how you guys use the Thousand Mile Teleportation Array?
Xie Fengxue replied: During the time when we were not able to cross the bitter waters, people from all four realms started to place orders with Zuo Qin after they had seen the Thousand Mile Teleportation Array, so Zuo Qin and I made some more.
It's billions, otherwise it can withstand such a
Changxia asked: Why don’t you send me some?
Xie Fengxue said: The Thousand Mile Teleportation Array cannot teleport to the Thousand Mile Teleportation Array.
Changxia: ...
It's both inexplicably reasonable and inexplicably wrong.
Shaking her head, Chang Xia decided not to think about it. She turned her attention to the jade token Xie Fengxue had given her.
He knew that Changxia could enter and leave Xiaoling Mountain freely, so doing this seemed unnecessary.
She never needed to be polite to Xie Fengxue, so she asked directly, "You seem to really want me to go to Xiaoling Mountain to attend the Qianqiu Banquet."
As soon as the words were typed out, the kite suddenly lit up with a blue light. Chang Xia was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he saw Xie Fengxue suddenly appear, leaning lazily on the chair with a slight smile on his face.
Like going into battle.
But I don’t know how he hid the background, so only he himself could be seen.
He seemed to be living very casually these days. Even though his wide-sleeved blue shirt was wrinkled, he didn't even bother to change it.
Chang Xia patted his chest and said, "You scared me!"
Xie Fengxue said: "I will compensate you if you come to Xiaoling Mountain."
Chang Xia folded his hands and sneered, "You could be more obvious in your hints."
Xie Fengxue: ...
"I tried my best."
It's not about trying to make things more seamless, but about trying to make more clumsy hints.
It would be best if it was so clumsy that it could be exposed at a glance, but it was still protected and condoned by his junior sister.
Anyway, no matter what, she will believe him unconditionally, right?
Changxia didn't know what he and Zuo Qin were doing, nor did he think they wanted him to go to Xiaoling Mountain. It was probably for Li Bai.
She pinched her brows with her hands and said calmly, "Xie Fengxue, you are using me."
Xie Fengxue admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes, I am using you."
He would never lie to his junior sister.
It was obvious that he and Zuo Qin had done this together, but Chang Xia inexplicably felt a sense of grievance that he hadn't felt just now: "But you didn't tell me anything."
Xie Fengxue's lips curled up. He was born with a pair of affectionate eyes. When he smiled, they were like a crescent moon in the sky, full of infinite tenderness.
"Yes, I hid everything from you. What should I do, Xia Xia, do you want to blame me?"
Chang Xia thought of many cruel words, but finally swallowed them all. He closed his eyes and seemed to accept his fate: "How can there be someone as shameless as you, Senior Brother?"
