Chapter 548: Barren Land
Tao Zi opened her eyes and saw the wind chimes swaying above her head.
Wait, why does that wind chime seem alive?
Before she could confirm, the wind chimes screamed with a melodious tinkling sound: "The dead are alive! The dead are alive!"
Tao Zi felt a pain in her ear, so she took out a hammer and smashed it out.
A person appeared beside the bed, caught the wind chime, and threw it onto the table behind him, saying, "Finally woke up."
Tao Zi looked closely and saw that it was his brother.
She tried to get up, but her brother held her shoulder and said, "Rest first, let Li Xiu come and check on you."
She said, "No problem."
I was stunned when I spoke. For some reason, my throat felt uncomfortable and my voice was a little hoarse.
Cheng Wuchou sighed deeply and said, "You've been sleeping for four years."
Tao Zi's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
"How much? Four years?"
Before Cheng Wuchou could say anything, Li Xiu pushed the door open and walked in carrying a medicine box.
Tao Zi heard him muttering before she even saw him: "Don't move, don't move, let's check first. Brother Cheng, please make way."
Brother Cheng?
Li Xiu has such a good relationship with her brother?
Do you have any objection to this title?
Tao Zi watched Li Xiu squeeze past Cheng Wuchou to sit next to her and began to check her physical condition.
After a careful examination, Li Xiu quickly came to the conclusion: it was nothing serious and he just needed to rest for a while.
Cheng Wuchou breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to speak: "Tell me, that Ghost Record has such serious side effects, how dare you use it?"
Tao Zi nodded, then asked, "Where are Xi Jing, Yue Shan, and Zhao Xue? How are they doing?"
Cheng Wuchou felt a slight headache, and Li Xiu continued, "In the second year since you were in a coma, Yueshan and the others were taken away to the demon world and the devil world respectively. Don't get excited! Little Phoenix and Fox followed Zhao Xue away, and Shaohua went to the devil world with Yueshan, saying that they wanted to see what those people were going to do."
Tao Zi took a deep breath, knowing that they should be fine for now, and continued, "Where's Xi Jing?"
Li Xiu was silent for three seconds, and Tao Zi suddenly sat up. Cheng Wuchou was so frightened that he immediately grabbed Li Xiu and threw her aside, saying soothingly, "Xi Jing is fine. Lie down quickly. You haven't moved for four years, so you don't have to worry about spraining your waist."
Tao Zi:......
She is a cultivator, not an ordinary mortal.
Despite thinking this, she still lay down and continued to ask, "Where's Xi Jing?"
"Xi Jing can now temporarily transform into a human form, but it's just a shadow and can't touch anyone. And..." Cheng Wuchou paused before continuing, "She always unconsciously mentions people she only knew in the past, such as Sister Li, the boss lady, and so on. But when Yu Niang appears in front of her, she doesn't recognize her and only feels familiar."
Tao Zi's expression softened and she said, "That's good enough. By the way, where is this place?"
"A wasteland."
Tao Zi was a little surprised when she heard the name, and said, "But I don't sense a lack of spiritual energy. On the contrary, it's quite abundant."
Cheng Wuchou said: "We were taken in by the master of the desolate mountain. This is one of the few places with abundant spiritual energy and far away from the heavenly way."
"Lord of the Desolate Mountain?"
Cheng Wuchou nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that this place used to be Sword Mountain. This owner of the desolate mountain should be related to the Sword Immortal, but no one knows what the specific relationship is."
Tao Zi looked at him and, considering that this was someone else's territory, asked more subtly: "Doesn't that person know either?"
"The Lord of Desolate Mountain never reveals his true face. Even until now, I have never seen him. It is always a woman who comes to deliver messages."
Tao Zi frowned: "What is this person's purpose?"
Cheng Wuchou shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Xijing's improvement has something to do with him."
Tao Zi didn't think about it any more. There was too little information at the moment, so little that she couldn't make any analysis. She just asked, "Where's Xi Jing?"
"He went to the demon world to play."
Tao Zi's expression tensed, and Cheng Wuchou immediately said, "It's okay. The mountain master brought something over, and the Tiandao Sect can't detect it. But you, on the other hand, can't get out."
"Um?"
"Although the storage device and other items were quietly transferred out, your body was put together by the Tiandao Sect." Cheng Wuchou paused, then continued, "Your current body contains dragon bones and even some monster flesh, causing your soul and body to be inconsistent. This may be the reason why you slept for so long. Of course, the biggest reason should be the Ghost Record. You and that little ghost are not strong enough to use this method."
Tao Zi was silent. She knew the reason. The Tiandao Sect had the corpse in their hands, so she really couldn't show up.
Cheng Wuchou said with emotion: "A lot has happened during this period. You should take a good rest first. I will tell you slowly later."
Tao Zi nodded, acknowledging this, and then said, "Now that I'm awake, I should go and pay my respects to the mountain master."
Cheng Wuchou nodded in agreement: "He may not see you, but you should go. I'll pass on the message first. It won't be too late to go after you have rested for a day and can walk again."
Tao Zi denied it without hesitation: "It's best to go now, brother. I'm not an ordinary mortal, and this body is not ordinary either. It's best to go there immediately while I can still move."
This is the territory of the mountain master. It is best to be cautious and not be too arrogant.
Although Cheng Wuchou always subconsciously regarded Tao Zi as someone who needed care, he also understood the principles he should understand. After confirming that Tao Zi could indeed walk normally, he agreed.
That afternoon, guided by the wind chime, Tao Zi walked towards the location of the mountain master.
Yes, that’s right, it’s the wind chime that makes a startling sound.
It is specifically responsible for leading the way.
There was white fog outside the room where Tao Zi was. When she lowered her head, she couldn't even see her own feet.
When the wind chimes are inside the house, the sound will guide people outside; when outside the house, it will lead people away from the white fog.
Tao Zi followed the ringing of the bell for almost an incense stick of time before leaving the range of the white fog.
As soon as she left the white fog, a familiar feeling came over her. In a trance, she thought she was in an enhanced version of Xing Feng.
Cheng Wuchou and Li Xiu were more accustomed to this feeling than she was. Li Xiu said, "It's okay once you get used to it."
As soon as the wind chime reaches here, the whole bell seems to be useless. Not only can it not speak, it can't even make a tinkling sound.
At this moment, a strange woman appeared in front of Tao Zi. She looked at her and said, "Miss Tao, you can call me Madam Chen. The mountain master has received the news that you have woken up, but he is away from the mountain due to some matters. He specifically asked me to show you around so that you can get familiar with the environment here. Please follow me."
Tao Zi thanked him and looked at Cheng Wuchou beside him. Cheng Wuchou shook his head slightly, indicating that they did not deserve such treatment.
Li Xiu also frowned. The three of them felt something was wrong. Why did the mountain master ask someone to take her around to see the place?
