Chapter 554: Seeing Xi Jing
Tao Zi and others stayed in the settlement for only two days before leaving.
Originally, Tao Zi wanted to go to a place near Guishan Mountain to kill some aliens to relax, but was rejected by Cheng Wuchou, who wanted to wait until the mecha was completed before going there.
She had to suspect that Cheng Wuchou did it on purpose.
Finally, Cheng Wuchou decided to take her to Xing Zhan and the Cheng family's stronghold here.
Because the base was on the edge of the wasteland, they went back to the wasteland to get a talisman to conceal their breath, and came back immediately once the talisman took effect.
On the way, Li Xiu said uncertainly: "Tao Zi has been dead for four years, who would still keep an eye on her?"
Cheng Wuchou said: "Let alone four years, there might be people watching us even for four hundred years."
Li Xiu reflected on it and felt that it was because he had lived too short and seen too little of the world that he asked such questions.
Tao Zi understood what they meant and asked, "Did the Tiandao Sect conceal this?"
Cheng Wuchou said: "At the beginning, we hid it. The whole world of immortal cultivation didn't believe that you were dead, except them."
"Then what?"
"After coming out of seclusion, the Tiandao Sect member determined that you wouldn't die so easily, and tracked you down for quite some time, even leading you all the way to the Desolate Land. It was the Lord of Desolate Mountain who protected you, otherwise, the Sword Sect and the others wouldn't have been able to conceal you."
Tao Zi's speculation about the barren mountain deepened further.
Li Xiu said, "It's strange. Huangshan claims to be indifferent to worldly affairs and only guards the border, but he rescued you."
She smiled, but it was a little cold. "Who knows? Maybe someone in the desolate mountains has some special hobbies."
Why do I suddenly feel a little cold... Li Xiu closed her mouth.
Cheng Wuchou said, "I also think some of Huangshan's actions are particularly strange, but the master said that Huangshan is absolutely reliable."
"Sir, do you know the man from the deserted mountain?"
Cheng Wuchou shook his head and said, "I don't know him, and I'm also surprised that Huangshan would take action, but I'm sure that Huangshan is reliable."
Li Xiu was speculating wildly: "Is it because of Tao Zi's specialness? If so, why wait until now to make a move? Could it be to train Tao Zi? If so, then the desolate mountain is really not a good place."
As for what was special about Tao Zi, Li Xiu didn't know either, but she was special anyway.
Tao Zi interrupted these speculations: "Don't guess, you will know sooner or later."
When we arrived at the stronghold, a group of people were busy there.
Xing Zhan and Liu Yue are not here. Liu Yue is in another hidden place leading people to make mechas.
Xing Zhan and Wu Yue were still guarding the same place as before. That place was the center of the wasteland, and basically everyone went there for anything.
The stronghold maintains the connection between the wasteland and the outside world.
Seeing that they were busy, Tao Zi simply continued to wear the mask and followed Cheng Wuchou into the room.
Seeing that it was the people brought by Cheng Wuchou and Li Xiu, they didn't ask any more questions.
After all, this place was mainly built by the Cheng family, and the people inside are mainly Xing Zhan and others.
When they were almost at Cheng Wuchou's yard, Tao Zi suddenly heard a question in her ear: "Why change it to pink?"
Someone replied: "Big Sister means that pink will be our signature color from now on, just like the pink hammer is Big Sister's logo."
She couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Entering the yard, she stared at Cheng Wuchou expressionlessly.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "Azi, your idea is very creative, isn't it?"
Tao Zi said with a forced smile, "Thanks to my brother for the advice."
When she thought of the physical trainers in the Punishment Hall driving pink mechas, she felt a black screen before her eyes, but after thinking about it, she felt that a group of people doing this was better than one person.
After a while, someone brought in a stack of papers and some photo stones.
Cheng Wuchou explained, "These are the records of those who were executed... executed over the past four years. Take a look. By the way, we can't continue to call them the Punishment Hall. You have to give them a new name."
Tao Zi picked up the information and asked casually, "What have Xing Zhan and the others called themselves when they were out there these years?"
This time it was Li Xiu who answered, "Yisan Sect. By the way, many people from Yisan Sect have returned. Most of the physical cultivators have returned, while less than a third of the ghost cultivators have returned. There are also some mortals. These people are managed by Lu Shaobai, Zhou Qiandan, and Xu Chengcheng. Someone named Wu Yue occasionally intervenes."
She paused for a moment before saying, "Then continue."
"Okay, then I'll tell Senior Sister Liu Yue now."
By the time she had finished reading the information from the past four years, the sun was about to set.
Cheng Wuchou and the other man stood at the gate, seemingly waiting for someone.
Tao Zi stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "You are waiting..."
"Senior Sister!"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and in her perception, a figure teleported in front of her from a hundred meters away.
"Wow, Senior Sister, you're really awake!"
Looking at the familiar face of the person in front of her, Tao Zi's eyes became sore. Many words rolled in her throat, but in the end she just called out, "Xi Jing."
"Hello, hello." Xi Jing introduced herself cheerfully, "I am the sword spirit of the Xijing Sword, but the Xijing in my name is not Xijing!"
Tao Zi said "hmm" softly and repeated, "You are Xi Jing, not Xi Jing."
When Xi Jing heard this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, but this feeling was like a breeze blowing across the stream, almost disappearing without a trace.
She became cheerful again and said, "Yes, you must know. They all say you are my senior sister. She must know my name."
Tao Zi looked at her happy expression and reached out to touch her head, but found that Xi Jing was still a shadow and could not be touched.
She pretended to touch it as if nothing had happened, then asked, "Have you met the two brothers?"
Xi Jing nodded and said, "I've seen them. They're all very entertaining."
"Are you happy?"
Xi Jing nodded again: "Happy, why not? I'm already very happy today, and seeing Senior Sister makes me even happier!"
Tao Zi asked with a smile, "Are you this happy every day?"
"Yeah, if you're unhappy, just beat Xiyan up!"
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Cheng Wuchou's voice in her ears: Wuyan's current name.
Xiyan, jokingly.
Just as they were talking about this, Wuyan, or Xiyan, appeared in front of everyone and said, "Auntie, don't run so fast, I can't keep up."
Xi Jing curled her lips, not wanting to pay attention to him, and said, "Senior Sister, do you like cake? I can make cake!"
Tao Zi was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "I love to eat."
"I knew it!" Xi Jing floated up happily and said, "When I made the cake, my first thought was to give it to you, so I guess you must like it! I'll go to the kitchen now, wait for me for a while, Senior Sister."
Watching her departing figure, Tao Zi suddenly repeated a question: "Is she this happy every day?"
Xi Yan nodded and said with a smile: "She is easy to coax. If she is unhappy, just give her some money."
