pilgrimage
After turning off the kite, Changxia made a note in his notebook.
It seems that the classic routines in Sixth Junior Sister’s notebook are not so effective.
Even though she looked like she was about to cry just now, Xie Fengxue still didn't show any mercy.
Even can use Heart Moon Fox on her.
Otherwise, her own temper would have already shattered Ru Lin Zhen when he said such disgusting words.
The sober Xie Fengxue said corny words, which was unacceptable!
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
As for the fact that she always managed to catch Moon Fox—a sword cultivator's spell resistance was low, that was perfectly normal!
After tidying up, when Changxia went out, Zhou Xiaosu was making wild vegetable porridge. Li Bai took a small chair and watched him cook.
Chang Xia asked: "Where is Ayang?"
Li Bai said: "I'm in the back room making medicine for my senior sister."
Then she said distressedly, "There is a stove here, but she just doesn't want to cook here. She says the air in the back room is better."
After she finished speaking, she sniffed her sleeve and asked doubtfully: "Senior Sister, is the air here bad?"
Chang Xia glanced at Zhou Xiaosu, who was occasionally looking up at Li Bai: ...
She said calmly, "I'll go see Ayang."
Of course it was fun to go out and play, the only trouble was that Ayang really strictly followed Lianhua's instructions and brought her medicine on time every day.
Sometimes he would even pretend to be a little kid and touch her head, saying seriously, "Master said that if you do this, you won't be afraid of hardship."
Even though Changxia was old and thick-skinned, his face turned red after this.
Why does the senior sister tell her apprentice everything?
Li Bai was very interested in this. She asked eagerly, "Sister, do you want me to touch you too?"
Chang Xia said with a cold face: "Do you want me to talk to my senior brother about your schoolwork?"
Li Bai shrank her neck and dared not speak.
The Qianqiu Banquet begins on March 7th and lasts for three days. On March 9th, the Zen master’s official birthday, he will hold a Dharma Assembly on the top of Xiaoling Mountain to offer sacrifices to God.
I made an appointment with Shen Siyan on March 3rd. Although I now have the jade order, since I have made a clear decision with him, I still have to meet him.
It was now February 21st, which meant they still had about ten days to travel around the southern border.
There was nothing much for Changxia to see. She had been here countless times and had already seen most of it.
It all depends on where Li Bai and the others want to go.
So they did not take the Sanli San bus, but walked and stopped all the way from Wumao City to Xiaoling Mountain.
The banquet was held on March 7th, but pilgrims who came to attend the banquet set out early, and from time to time there were lamas hurrying along the road, clapping their hands every three steps.
Li Bai looked at them curiously.
Changxia didn't have much thought about them, but since her junior sister was interested, she explained a little more.
"Pilgrims have their own beliefs. When they earn some money, they go to consult the Buddha in their hearts and gild the Buddha's body."
Li Bai asked, "Don't they keep some money for themselves?"
Chang Xia thought for a moment and said, "What is the purpose of your cultivation?"
Li Bai replied, "Master said to bring me here, so I came."
Changxia smiled.
She held Cai Shouhuan in her palm. In fact, Changxia herself had always had a gentle and bright temperament. She loved wearing goose yellow skirts and smiling at people. Anyone who saw her at first sight would think that she was a girl who would soften her heart if she pleaded with her more.
All in all, he seems like a good guy.
But the good guy chose a sword that was so strange and evil.
More than one person has said that Caishou is not suitable for Changxia. A girl like her should use a sword as clear as water, which would make even killing seem gentle.
Changxia, however, thought Caishou was great and no one was more suitable for her than Caishou.
She holds the sword to kill.
Changxia was just nine years old when he was picked up by his master.
Their village was on the border, and at that time the Four-sided Sword Formation had not yet been built, so the border could only be defended by the flesh and blood of the monks.
But Cang Xuan is so big, how can he defend against it all?
That year, a monster broke through the defense line and its sharp claws split her life in two.
Her mother smeared her body with smelly mud, hid her in the cellar, and told her that she could not come out until she counted to 100,000.
Changxia didn't count to 100,000. When she counted to 83,741, her master found her.
But she had no home anymore. Her home had become a pile of ruins, and her parents and brothers were in the belly of a monster.
The monster was chopped to ashes by Bie Jingchun's sword...
She couldn't even find a place to reminisce.
The master took her to Zangfeng Mountain.
The master asked her what she wanted to do in the future, and she said she wanted to kill monsters and avenge her parents and brother.
The master told her that the reason for holding the sword should not be so narrow, otherwise after revenge is truly achieved, the huge emptiness will suffocate her.
Changxia thought for three days on the top of Cangfeng Mountain, and finally told her master that she wanted to become powerful. She hated her powerlessness and wanted to kill all the monsters and ghosts who wanted to hurt the people she cared about, and then never let the people around her leave her again.
Bie Jingchun didn't say yes or no, he just took out a wooden sword and handed it to her hand.
"Then you must remember what you said today."
Changxia took it, and from then on he practiced the Killing Sword hard.
Killing to protect life, this is her way.
"The first time I saw Cai Shou, I thought this sword was amazing. As long as I can afford the price, it will continue to give me strength." In a battle many years ago, after Cai Shou had sucked half of her blood, she said this to Xie Fengxue.
Xie Fengxue asked: "What if you encounter an enemy that cannot be defeated even if you drain it dry?"
Chang Xia's face was pale at that time, but her eyes were still bright. She said, "I can run. I'm not stupid."
Then she whispered, "But if you were behind me, I wouldn't run. I would be happy, even if I died."
"Because I can use my last bit of strength to protect you."
She hated herself for having to count in the cellar, being powerless and protected by her mother and family, so from then on her path was to do her utmost to protect the people she cared about.
Cai Shou is the sword that allows her to fight with all her strength.
So, she now said to Li Bai: "Some people have advised me to give up cutting my life span, but how can I give it up? This is my Tao. They are the same. The Buddha of Xiaoling Mountain is their Tao."
As the saying goes, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.
It is perfectly normal for those who seek the Tao to devote everything to the Tao.
Li Bai seemed to understand, but Zhou Xiaosu said his way was to make the most delicious dishes, and A Yang said she wanted to save more people.
Changxia does not make any comments, just like Bie Jingchun did back then.
That is their own path, and they have to walk it alone.
The closer to Xiaoling Mountain, the more lively the place is. The name of the city at the foot of Xiaoling Mountain is very straightforward, it is called Huanling City.
Changxia didn't know who came up with this name, but she knew it definitely wasn't the Confucian scholars from Luhu - that group of people would like to use eighteen allusions in one sentence, and such a straightforward and simple name was beyond their aesthetic taste.
Due to the special nature of Huanling City, the entire city is divided into four urban areas: east, west, south and north, and Shen Siyan is in the north city.
Changxia felt that this might be some of the obsessions of the people in the north.
The place where Yunting is staying is not difficult to find. It is the one flying in the air.
Tunan Pavilion, one of the octagonal buildings in Yunshang Pavilion, is a walking palace in the air. It is also the most luxurious and imposing one among the octagonal buildings. Whenever Yunting visits other sects to receive important gifts, it will be opened to show its grandeur.
When she lined up her three children in front of Shen Siyan, the latter asked in surprise: "Are you addicted to taking care of children?"
Chang Xia said: "Taking care of a child is much less stressful than taking care of you."
Shen Siyan: ...
After throwing the messy things around for a long time, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Here you go, get out of here."
Chang Xia didn't even realize what it was. After taking a closer look, he found that it was a jade token for passing through Xiaoling Mountain. However, he didn't know who had done this, as the string of the jade token had been twisted and braided into a pigtail. Then, because the braider's skills were so poor, the pigtail became a tangled mess that couldn't be untied.
Changxia: ...
First of all, Shen Siyan is not ruled out. He really seems like someone who would do such a boring thing.
I really have this skill.
Seeing Chang Xia's hesitant expression, Shen Siyan quickly explained, "It wasn't me! It was your Third Junior Sister who did it!"
Huo Tinglan
Chang Xia asked in confusion: "Why is Tinglan here?"
"How should I know? My master asked her to come, and she did. But I don't know what she was thinking about the whole time. She was so absent-minded. I had my Jade Token safely stored in the jade box ready for you, and she messed it up like this."
Shen Siyan sighed: "I haven't had the chance to scold her yet, and she looked up at me with such a pitiful look, what else can I do!"
Changxia ignored the second half of Shen Siyan's complaint, she cared about the first half.
The leader asked Tinglan to come over, and Huo Tinglan really came.
As the master of a realm and the person in charge of Yunting, she would definitely not believe that the master did not know Huo Tinglan's true identity. But since he knew, why did he take the risk of letting her go down the mountain to attend a banquet in another realm?
The Qianqiu Banquet is rare, but it is not necessary to attend.
Unless something happens at this banquet, and it's so important that Huo Tinglan is willing to take the risk to participate.
What is the relationship between the Emperor, the Thousand Years Banquet, and Zen Buddhism?
The scattered beads in Changxia's memory were almost strung into a thread, but there was always a layer of separation.
She seemed to have missed some key information.
Shen Siyan asked, "Do you want to meet your junior sister? She is in Tunan Pavilion now. She seems to be troubled by something recently. You can go and persuade her."
Chang Xia looked at the crumpled silk thread and said softly, "Forget it, let's wait until this is over before going."
Chang recalled Tinglan's childhood. Her master promised to teach her swordsmanship, and Zuo Qin promised to teach her magic. She eventually obeyed and tried both. After a century of trying, she discovered that she didn't enjoy swordsmanship or magic, but was instead interested in the mechanical techniques of the Thousand Machine Tower.
But Tinglan does not have much talent for mechanical engineering, and she may never be able to reach the level of magic skills that she has practiced casually in her entire life.
The headmaster came over one time and casually said that she was wasting her talent and would not gain anything.
Tinglan was young at that time, and after hearing the words of the master, she did not dare to go to Qianji Tower to learn mechanical engineering.
Later, Changxia noticed that she was unhappy, so he dragged her to the Qianji Tower, and they sat under the mechanical bird at the door for a whole day.
The following days passed slowly, and suddenly one day, Tinglan made the first mechanical bird in her life and showed it to Changxia. The structure was quite tight, but it was not as good as those geniuses in Qianji Tower who could use their foundation-building cultivation to create golden elixir mechanical creatures.
She said to Chang Xia, "Senior Sister, I have been practicing casually these days and have already reached the late stage of foundation building, but the bird I made with all my strength can only be in the early stage of foundation building."
The creations made by a true genius in mechanical engineering can transcend the levels of cultivation.
"I want power, I really want it. I should focus on practicing magic, but...but..."
Changxia didn't say anything. She patted Tinglan's back again and again to comfort her.
Later, she divided her time into two halves, one half working harder on practicing magic, and the other half working harder on studying mechanical engineering.
She seemed to have split herself in two, taking two completely opposite paths.
When Tinglan was in the Nascent Soul stage, she was finally able to make a mechanical bird with the same level of cultivation as her.
This was already the top ten level among her peers in Qianji Tower, and some of the geniuses who rose to fame decades ago were still far beyond her reach, while others had already fallen into obscurity.
At that time, she officially gave up practicing magic and began to devote herself to studying mechanical engineering.
She said to Chang Xia, "Sister, I've figured it out. What's the use of talent? Rapid progress against the grain is no match for pursuing your heart's desire day after day."
Changxia thought Tinglan was very powerful back then, but now that he knows that she is a descendant of the Ji family and the contemporary Human Emperor, he thinks she is even more powerful.
The Ji family's bloodline talent is almost at the top level of Cang Xuan.
But when Tinglan proved that she could gain enough power without blood, she resolutely gave it up.
Her third junior sister is such a person. She can use decades to see herself clearly and prove herself.
Changxia played with the pile of jade orders, unraveling them one by one - what did it matter if it was a tangled mess, there would always be a way to sort it out.
Huo Tinglan never needs anyone to guide her. She is already the most sober person in the world.
Changxia just needs to listen to her whispers after the dust settles.
