Chapter 72 Chapter 72 When you go to sleep, take your master with you...
When Bai Lu was sharing the divination about her parents with everyone, Huo Xuexiang had already finished regulating his breathing and heard everything.
If he had heard it before, he would probably have felt awkward and unnatural, and at the same time, unconsciously delighted. However, after his visit to Shenguan Bay, Huo Xuexiang had already made up his mind, and he just found it interesting.
When Bai Lu asked that question unconsciously, he couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Bai Lu's ears turn red and she kept drinking juice, Huo Xuexiang wanted to raise his fingers, but he held back. In the end, he just rubbed the inside of the ring and took the initiative to change the subject: "Jintingzhou also has rare flowers and plants that grow there. You can collect some when you go."
"Oh?! What exotic flowers and plants?" Bai Lu has always liked collecting all kinds of things, no matter they are decorative or practical.
But after he had reacted so strongly and shouted so loudly, he felt a little guilty and it seemed a bit unnecessary. It seemed as if he had seized the opportunity to divert his attention and shouted to everyone else to look over.
Although it has not been decided yet, I know that some of you may go to Jinting Island with the team, or you may just be interested in this place you have never had the chance to set foot on, so you can't help but prick up your ears and listen to Jian Zun's class.
Bai Lu was getting used to it. Every time the master gave a lecture, there were always a lot of people who wanted to attend for free. It was because of his kindness that he didn't charge tuition fees.
"In the past, when good and evil were fighting, the evil cultivators retreated to Jinting Island. There are many active volcanoes in Jinting Island, so the most common plants are the Heart-Eroding Chrysanthemum and the Red Blood Tree. They are everywhere, and they only grow in Jinting Island. They are drought-resistant and poisonous, but they can be used as medicine after being processed."
Okay, write down all the Bai Lus one by one and remember to collect some when the time comes.
"Master, have you ever been to Jintingzhou?" Bai Lu thought of asking. In most cases, the righteous would not go to Jintingzhou, just like the evil cultivators would not come to the righteous territory at will.
Those who come here are either here to do business or to cause trouble like Yan Changming did.
"I have been there. I stayed in Jintingzhou for a while while hunting a ferocious beast." Huo Xuexiang said. He traveled everywhere and naturally went to Jintingzhou.
"Have you seen the Demon Lord in Jintingzhou? Who is more powerful?" Bai Lu asked expectantly.
Huo Xuexiang had never fought with Yan Wuji, and now he was silent, as if he was thinking about the strength of both sides.
"That must be my uncle!" Liang Mangu couldn't help but answer, "What's so good about that?"
Bai Lu glanced at him and said in confusion: "Brother Liang, of course I know. What I'm asking is who is more powerful, me or that demon king."
Everyone: “…………”
...I guess you're asking which of the two Demon Lords is more powerful, right? How dare you ask!
Huo Xuexiang also paused for a moment, and said after careful consideration: "It's hard to say."
"Right, I also find it hard to say." Bai Lu was not blindly confident. He counted: "I am already in the late stage of the Thunder Listening Realm. Rounding it off, it is the... Sky Patrolling Realm."
That was a close call. I haven’t reviewed for a long time and almost forgot what realm comes after the Listening to Thunder Realm.
"Besides, we in Dianmei Peak have always crossed borders to kill enemies. I can at least cross two borders, right? What is the cultivation level of the Demon Lord in Jintingzhou?" Bai Lu listed them one by one, becoming more and more excited. "And I also have the two divine weapons, Chaotianzi and Qingdijue, and the unlimited supply of Jingtiansi Di Teng... Can he build the Great Wall?"
"Maybe he can summon ghosts, but I can also summon wood creatures and I'm not inferior. If you don't count his many years of experience, it's hard to say what the result would be in a one-on-one fight."
By the end of Bai Lu's speech, she was already in the fantasy stage, with her chin in her hands and stars in her eyes.
When we get to Jintingzhou, he will subdue Yan Changming's father... Oh, Yan Wuji, I remember now, Yan Changming's father is called Yan Wuji. I will subdue Yan Wuji in one fell swoop and end this war.
If he couldn't subdue him in one move, then the master could subdue him in one move, which would also be one move. Then Yan Wuji sighed and gave the Demon Lord ID to Bai Lu. He was the only Demon Lord in the world...hahahahaha.
Everyone looked at Bai Lu immersed in her own fantasy and couldn't help but sigh, what a great state she is in.
But if you think about it carefully, Bai Lu's ultimate move is really powerful, and I'm afraid she can really fight.
Pei Zhaoting said firmly: "Brother Bai can break through the Green Emperor Secret Realm when he is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, not to mention that he has now reached the Perfection of the Thunder Listening Realm."
"The late stage of the Listening to Thunder Realm is only a hair's breadth away from the Patrolling Sky Realm. Back then, my uncle was the youngest person to induce the Climbing Stars into the Kuidou phenomenon. Junior brother may break the record again."
"That's right, Yan Wuji couldn't build the Great Wall, we can rest here thanks to the Great Wall..."
"Brother Bai, go to Jintingzhou and capture Yan Wuji alive!"
Bai Lu's cheeks blushed slightly after being praised, and she waved her hand, "Tell me more."
“…”
Everyone was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
…
Bai Lu was thinking about charging into Jinting Island, and before setting off, he sorted out his inventory.
Many of the materials in his space ring had been used up, and his classmates donated some to him to replenish them. Those that had not been sorted out were just the right time to be put away.
Bai Lu poured out all the bits and pieces in the space ring and sorted them out. Anything that couldn't fit in could be put into Huo Xuexiang's mustard seed Sumeru.
Well, actually, there were originally some bits and pieces of Bai Lu in Huo Xuexiang’s mustard seed.
"I'm going to fight, so I'll put the materials I need here, and the clothes, jewelry and accessories can be given to my master..." Bai Lu has a very complete idea of storage.
But after putting them all on the floor, Bai Lu felt like something was missing. "Hey, I remember where I have a white statue. Master, do you see it? I use it to set up the altar."
Every time he did his homework, he would put up a bunch of blessing ornaments, many of which represented each element, and sometimes he would use local materials.
The longer he was in the world of immortal cultivation, the more things he accumulated and made. The little angel statue was also carved by him using light-colored wood in his spare time. He was also creative in making the curly-haired angel wear an oriental round-necked robe.
Huo Xuexiang looked around and asked, "Which one are you talking about?" Bai Lu had too many things.
The others also looked at the ground, afraid that it might have rolled under someone's feet.
"It's a little angel statue." Bai Lu described it. "It's very cute, with two wings and a long robe. I put it on my left side every time I do my homework. It doesn't have any spiritual power, it's just beautiful."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that the other people's faces looked a little strange.
Luo Luo shyly covered her face with her wing tips: "It's beautiful, but why, why is it carved..."
Bai Lu: “…………”
Bai Lu: "It's not you..."
What a huge misunderstanding! Although they both have two wings, Bai Lu swears that his angel was not carved after Luo Luo.
Luo Luo: “Impossible.”
It's definitely him.
Bai Lu was speechless: "...Then what am I, a pervert, carving a portrait of my classmate as a decoration?"
As he was speaking, the hungry Xuanshan Patriarch Wangcai Immortal Lord came over and licked his hand.
Everyone looked on in silence.
This way of treating the ancestor as a pet seems to be exactly the same as using the statue of a classmate as a decoration. Bai Lu herself was a little speechless when she saw it.
If you don’t come early, then you won’t come late…Bai Lu turned over some food to feed the ancestor.
Liang Mangu also said something fair: "The Feather Clan has another name called angels. Brother Luo Luo is the only one from the Feather Clan in our inner sect, and Brother Bai, haven't you always liked Luo Luo?" Liking Luo Luo's feathers is also liking him.
Huo Xuexiang, who had seen the little angel statue, said something fair: "The statue looks like a child."
It's a real little angel, not a trumpet angel.
Then it shouldn’t be Luo Luo. Even if it is from the Feather Clan, it must be another Feather Clan.
Luo Luo released the wing tip that was covering his face, still a little angrily, "Huh, it can't be my brother..."
When he found the statue in the corner, Luo Luo's mood improved a little. It wasn't him, but at least it wasn't his brothers and sisters either.
Bai Lu fed the old ancestor and put away all the things. She was still a little excited. She kept imagining what would happen when she went to Jintingzhou. She even couldn't help but rehearse how to fight in her mind.
We sword cultivators are like this...
"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Huo Xuexiang tilted his head.
Bai Lu, like everyone else, had not slept since guarding the city for days. This should not be a big deal for a cultivator, but Huo Xuexiang knew that some of Bai Lu's habits were spiritual, such as eating and sleeping.
More importantly, Bai Lu was in a somewhat high-spirited mood when she was chatting with everyone just now. She was very lively as usual, but Huo Xuexiang sensed some tension in her.
And according to Huo Xuexiang's observation, constantly collecting is also Bai Lu's way of relaxing on a daily basis, so Huo Xuexiang asked this question.
"No, I'm used to my bed. I can't seem to sleep well every time I'm outside. I don't get much deep sleep in the Qingdi Secret Realm." Bai Lu remembered that he didn't get a good rest during his previous trip to Huanhuazhou, so he made up for the sleep after returning.
But it would have been fine if Master hadn’t mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned it, Bai Lu actually felt a little sleepy.
Old Ancestor Wangcai was already sleepy after eating, and was sleeping soundly against Bailu. He was taken away by Ding Douhua and the others and petted a few times, but he didn't wake up. It can be seen how soundly he slept.
The Immortal King looked completely defenseless, but in fact, it was because he knew that he was wearing the Jade Mist Soft Armor and was surrounded by Xuanshan disciples...
"I'm not in the Qingdi Secret Realm. Can you try again?" Huo Xuexiang said slowly.
It was insecure to sleep well in the secret realm, but when he was with Huo Xuexiang, even if he was not in Xuanshan, he could trust Huo Xuexiang. Even if the sky fell, he could still sleep well.
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, feeling really tempted, especially when he thought about the last time he went back to Xuanshan to catch up on sleep, he fell asleep on his master's body, and he got used to the bed and fell into his master's arms...
As her thoughts flew, Bai Lu almost immediately remembered the touch at that time, and the memory was still fresh.
That feeling of stability, comfort, and satisfaction was so tempting at this moment when the mind was tense for a long time. Even though Bai Lu felt a little strange, it was hard to resist.
"That's fine." But Bai Lu looked at the fellow Taoists coming and going and felt that this environment was not very suitable. He was afraid that he would be stroked while sleeping like Old Ancestor Wangcai, or even be woken up by Old Ancestor Wangcai.
With a thought in mind, Bai Lu stretched out his hand, and vines and branches grew out of the cracks in the ground, tangling together and forming a green wall, forming a small single room that separated him and Huo Xuexiang from the outside world.
The monks outside saw this and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Brother Bai, do you want to have a small class? You are avoiding it? And you even have to enclose a piece of land."
"Let us hear it too, please."
Bai Lu said angrily: "I want to sleep."
People outside: “…”
It's even more outrageous, more outrageous than having to go to class.
What's the atmosphere in Xuanshan? You even included your master in the sleeping area?
There was a moment of silence outside.
Bai Lu looked back again and saw that her master had consciously moved his hands away from his knees.
In fact, it might be a casual move... But at this moment, Bai Lu felt that it was an unintentional guidance, instigating him invisibly. He originally wanted to take out the feather pillow...
Now, Bai Lu rubbed to the side, and rested her head directly on Huo Xuexiang's legs, curling up her body slightly.
Just like when he was in the Qingdi Secret Realm, when he was a little hesitant about whether he should confess everything, Huo Xuexiang comforted him and told him he could tell everything.
At this moment, even though he felt a little strange in his heart, Bai Lu knew that no matter what, he could still snuggle up to Huo Xuexiang with complete peace of mind.
Huo Xuexiang's hand gently stroked Bai Lu's back a few times, and a cool spiritual energy passed by, making Bai Lu's nerves that were excited because of the battle unconsciously relax. The faint fragrance of sword plum seemed to bring Bai Lu back to Shuchun Garden. Under the cover of a sense of security, even Bai Lu's limbs stretched out, no longer curled up so deeply.
"Ha..." Bai Lu yawned, her tone relaxed a lot, and she asked in a daze, "Master, when can I break through the Thunder Listening Realm?"
Bai Lu is already in the late stage of the Thunder Listening Realm, and is only a hair's breadth away from the Sky Patrolling Realm. Huo Xuexiang said in a gentle voice: "It's possible at any time."
"That's great." Bai Lu's previous words were inconsistent, and the next sentence was already new content, "Then when I go home, can you go with me? You have been to Jintingzhou, I will take you to see the cultural landscape you have never seen."
Huo Xuexiang's hand paused.
My heart beat violently several times, filled with a surging warmth, and a sense of sudden relief as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared.
For a long time, it was not so much that he had not thought it through, but rather that he could not face his own feelings. Even when he was forced to face it, he was already thinking about how to swing his sword to cut through the natural barrier.
Even though the sword cultivator is decisive, Bai Lu is a little different in comparison.
In this world, whether he is willing or not, all obstacles can be overcome. Even if he has not yet realized it, he naturally, confidently and calmly invited Huo Xuexiang.
"...Okay." Huo Xuexiang combed his hair with his fingers. The regular and soothing movements had a sleep-inducing effect, making Bai Lu more relaxed.
Bai Lu closed her eyes, her mouth was still moving, but she could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams, and she kept muttering: "Just wait, when the time comes I will turn the world upside down. If I can't recite the usage of microwave ovens and televisions, Master will punish me by making me stand in the corner..."
Huo Xuexiang smiled silently.
…
Bai Lu slept for about six or seven hours. She tossed over, feeling dazed and having a dry mouth.
Huo Xuexiang helped him up and fed him some warm water, and Bai Lu slowly came back to his senses. The light in the vine room was blocked, which was very suitable for sleeping.
The faint sound of fighting outside the city made Bai Lu gradually regain consciousness and quickly climb up.
"No hurry." Huo Xuexiang patted him, "You can all rest before going to Jintingzhou."
"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot that I joined the Death Squad." Bai Lu touched his face and remembered. He slept softly and comfortably, and he felt like he had been restarted, full of energy, stable and energetic.
Bai Lu began to braid her hair, tying it into a neat and tidy hairstyle. She looked around and saw no sign of Ancestor Wangcai. She asked, "Master, has the Ancestor fed you?"
"Don't worry, Qiusuo is here." Huo Xuexiang reached out and picked out a weapon hairpin for Bai Lu to match.
Bai Lu sniffed Huo Xuexiang and said happily, "Master, I think the smell of your body is very suitable for sleeping incense. I slept very well."
“Maybe you prefer the smell of Jianmei.” Huo Xuexiang said. He didn’t actually use any incense, but he got the scent from spending so many years in Shuchun Garden.
Just like Bailu, there is always a sweet and refreshing fragrance, which is left over from frequent dessert making and contact with plants.
That makes sense, this smell may just help me sleep better...
So that's it. Bai Lu thought for a while, said nothing, and waved her hand to collect all the vines.
Pei Zhaoting was strategizing the battle situation, the eldest sister was reading some documents, and You Yue seemed to have gone to fight again. A few fungus people just came back to rest and were talking about who killed more enemies.
Wangcai was chasing Luoluo, and Luoluo didn't dare to attack the ancestor, so he could only threaten him when no one was paying attention: "If you pounce on my tail again, I'll send you down to meet the enemy."
When they found Bai Lu, everyone paused for a moment. Who would be so kind as to lock himself up with his master for so long while sleeping?
But no one dared to say anything, especially since not only the master and disciple, but all the disciples of Xuanshan also looked calm, which made others suspect that they were making a fuss out of nothing, and they all greeted them in a natural way: "Good morning."
In fact, it's already noon.
"Good morning, everyone! How was the fight going?" Bai Lu also looked very normal. She grabbed the old ancestor from the ground and threw him to catch him, making the old ancestor so angry that he let out a "ji" sound.
"What changes can be made in such a short time? But the people going to Jintingzhou have been arranged. I'll go through it one last time." Ning Yanhu said without raising his head.
"Big sister, can't you take me with you?" Liang Mangu wailed, "I really want to get some military merit."
Ning Yanhu said without hesitation: "Get lost."
It's not that only top masters can go to Jintingzhou. How can they guard the border if they are all transferred away? But it is definitely impossible to bring disciples with too low cultivation level.
Although Liang Mangu was sinister, his cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage. Bringing foundation-building disciples to participate in such an event was somewhat reckless.
"But you can requisition all those magic weapons." Ning Yanhu thought of looting Liang Mangu's useful magic weapons. For a weapon cultivator, this could also be considered participating in the war.
"Okay, then I'll let Shen Yuntian follow you. Even if it's just to provide some shade, it's all my effort... remember I also contributed." Liang Mangu said resentfully.
He only hated himself for not being born earlier to practice. Otherwise, he could have become a wood tribe member. With Brother Bai around, he could have leveled up right away...
Following Liang Mangu's wish, Shen Yuntian floated above Bai Lu's head. Bai Lu couldn't help but take two steps to the left, and seeing Shen Yuntian catching up, she turned right... and made a sharp turn.
Shen Yuntian caught up in a flash.
Oh, that’s pretty clever.
Bai Lu was looking up and playing with the clouds when a disciple from Xuanshan suddenly landed beside her and reported, "Big Sister, we caught the demon cultivator!"
