Chapter 104
“Crash.”
The pink peach blossom paper was scattered, and the ink marks flew around. The lingering spiritual energy had its rhythm disturbed, and it floated away, looking at the letter paper that fell to the ground in shock.
A spiritual heart was pressed at the bottom, happily hidden away.
Dark, I like it.
In the dead silence, the drifting spiritual energy gathered again, filling the narrow sky and earth with a vast expanse of white, and also covering the pair of dark and confused eyes hidden in the spiritual mist.
“0…3!”
The deep voice, shrouded in spiritual mist, carried a hint of gnashing teeth. Feng Jue closed her eyes, reached out and picked up a piece of peach blossom paper that had fallen on her red skirt, staring at the serious yet crooked handwriting on it, her sharp gaze almost piercing through the back of the paper.
What is she doing again?
Feng Jue's fingers tightly gripped the letter paper, and the thought of "03 being possessed by someone" even emerged in his mind. Among the pile of letters filled with gluttony, this untimely invitation seemed so out of place and - offensive.
The swirling spiritual mist fell between her hair, and the rich spiritual liquid that condensed into water covered her hair, skin and clothes with moisture. The wet hair stuck to her ear bones, and her originally fair skin had turned red at some point, shyly hiding under the deep black, not daring to speak.
Either she's finally made a mistake, or she's learned something strange from somewhere and is giving it to her. Maybe this idiot is even feeling smug about it. Feng Jue thought with a cold face, turning the contents of the paper over and over again, wondering, "Is she praising my good looks?"
“…”
I've been led astray by that stupid thing again. I might as well wait for her to come back and ask her directly! Feng Jue suppressed his strange feelings in his heart, snorted coldly, and threw away the letter.
It is a rare opportunity to enter the Wendao Secret Realm to practice, so you should seize the time to practice.
"Feng Jue, 03's mind is not clear, and yours is not clear either? Stop getting embarrassed!" Feng Jue cursed himself in a low voice, pinching his fingers to draw spiritual energy into his body.
She closed her eyes again.
Half a minute later, Feng Jue's trembling eyes suddenly opened, and he made a "tsk" sound in annoyance. He haphazardly gathered up the letter papers on the ground and put them into his storage ring. Out of sight, out of mind!
Suddenly the world lost its dark spirit and died peacefully.
Bright and unhappy.
Pingjin City, alley.
03. Meng Xiangfei and a female cultivator named Tan Yue from Taiyan Sect have been investigating outside Pingjin City for several days. They have not found any demon cultivators. Tan Yue's master is also missing. Not only has no news been sent back, but the message sent by Tan Yue has been like a stone thrown into the sea and has not been received for a long time.
reply.
Tan Yue was worried, fearing her master had fallen prey to the evil cultivators, and she fled out of the city every day. One day, Meng Xiangfei stopped her and said in her gentle and charming voice, "Sister Yue, you must be careful. If your master meets with an accident, with your ability to find him, you will only die in vain. You should stay calm and think of other solutions."
Hearing Meng Xiangfei's "comfort", Tan Yue's face turned even paler and she sat on the bench at a loss. The broken house was full of holes and the north wind blew in, making her feel cold.
In this desolate and bleak winter scene, Meng Xiangfei sat on a tiger that was caught from somewhere. Her bare feet were wobbling, and her body was wrapped in purple gauze, revealing large areas of her fair skin.
Seeing Tan Yue's depressed look, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She thought to herself that Tan Yue was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all, but he was so unable to withstand such a hardship. The Taiyan Sect claimed to be the largest sect in Zhongzhou, but the disciples under it were nothing special.
Meng Xiangfei fiddled with her fingers, glanced out the window, and pointed at 03 who had walked in. "Look at fellow Daoist, even if the sky fell, she wouldn't stop eating and having fun. She's so carefree and unrestrained. It's really admirable."
03 held Jiuxiao in his hand and said, "Thank you for the compliment. What are we going to do today?"
Tan Yue forced a smile and said to 03, "Senior, I have sent a message to the sect. I think there will be news back in the next two days. During these two days, just like we did before, one person will stay behind to guard the city, and the other two will go out of the city to search."
"Oh." 03 said, "I'm the one guarding the city today, so I'll go back first."
She made friends with the little girl next door, and the girl's parents cleared out a guest room for her to sleep in. 03 was very satisfied to have a draft-proof room in which to write her love letters.
She went out, playing the jade flute, and after taking two steps, she turned into the next door and ran into Liu Ya's mother, who was out buying vegetables with a basket. When she saw 03, she showed a reserved expression and whispered, "Fairy, I'll buy a fat goose today and stew it for you."
"Okay!" 03 nodded.
Stewed goose is good, delicious!
She waved happily to Liu Ya's mother and watched her walk out to the market.
The mortal world is unaware of the worries of the immortals. The arrival of the Taiyan Sect's people only brought a few days of panic to the people of Pingjin City. However, they found that these immortals neither killed nor set fire to people, nor acted in a domineering manner. Instead, they lived their lives in an orderly manner.
Liu Ya's family benefited greatly. They were originally just an ordinary small family in Pingjin City and could not afford to eat meat and vegetables several times a year. Since a fairy who was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her landed in the deserted house next door, not only did they have enough food and drink every day, but they also had thick quilts to cover themselves. They could live well.
This winter.
03 stood in the yard and called out "Liu Ya". Soon a little girl in new clothes ran out of the house, stood in front of 03, and looked up at 03 timidly.
When Meng Xiangfei passed by the door, she heard 03 say in her cold and gentle voice to the little girl who was not even as tall as her legs, "Let's play a game." She snorted and wondered what was going on in this world. A peerless swordsman in the Spirit Transformation Stage could play with a five-year-old mortal child, and Feng Jue was still protecting her like this. Did the dignified Palace Master of Lanyang Palace like to be someone's mother?
She sneered, sat on the back of the spirit tiger, and controlled it to leave the city. All the mortals she met on the road retreated in fear, ran into the houses and closed the doors, seeing her as if she were a devil.
“…”
Meng Xiangfei glanced at these fleeing mortals with sarcasm, and rode her spirit tiger all the way out of the city. During this period of time, they had turned Pingjin City upside down within a thousand miles, and also visited the surrounding sects. According to Tan Yue, there were also disciples of Taiyan Sect in Wangjin City, which was even farther away. Meng Xiangfei planned to go to Wangjin City and exchange information with the disciples of Taiyan Sect there.
But when she was riding the tiger and running through the mountains and forests, she had just run ten thousand meters away when she suddenly felt a pain all over her body and fell off the tiger. Meng Xiangfei screamed and fell to the ground, covered in cold sweat from the pain.
The severe pain did not come from the body, but from the soul. It was as if thousands of cold knives were stabbing into the soul one after another, leaving cuts, or like thousands of long needles piercing the nerves, stirring in the brain. The severe pain almost killed Meng Xiangfei. She rolled her eyes in vain on the ground. For a moment, she wanted to kill herself.
The tiger roared, dug its front paws into the ground, and leaned over to touch Meng Xiangfei's head.
On a cold winter day, Meng Xiangfei was sweating profusely, as if she had been fished out of the water.
"Hehe." The pain came and went quickly. Meng Xiangfei climbed up weakly and leaned on the spirit tiger. She looked in one direction without a trace of hatred in her eyes. After taking a fearful look in that direction, she climbed back onto the spirit tiger's back and drove it to run in that direction.
There are many mountains in the world.
Tigers and leopards roamed the wild mountains, and no mortal would come here. If it were a mountain without spiritual energy, even cultivators would not be interested in passing through. Meng Xiangfei jumped off the tiger's back, rubbed the spirit tiger's head, and whispered, "Go."
The bottom of the spirit tiger's round pupils slowly straightened into a line, as if it did not recognize the human being it had carried here for thousands of miles, and a threatening roar immediately came from its throat.
Meng Xiangfei smiled slightly, and released a little pressure. The tiger, which had no intelligence, immediately became timid and turned around and ran away in fear. Meng Xiangfei watched its golden fur disappear into the forest, turned her head, and glanced at
A touch of white.
"Brother Wen, you're such a bad guy." Meng Xiangfei patted her chest and said dissatisfiedly, "You have a million ways to get people out, why did you embarrass me like this and almost kill me?"
"If you want me to die, there are plenty of comfortable ways. Why do you have to torture my soul?" Meng Xiangfei smiled delicately, raised her hand and bit her finger, looking at Wen Chunsheng with hesitation.
Wen Chunsheng was standing on a high cliff, looking towards the distant town. He frowned when he heard this and said to Meng Xiangfei, "Filthy words."
"Hey, I didn't say anything, Brother Wen, don't get me wrong." Meng Xiangfei had an expression that said I don't know what you are talking about. She slowly walked up the high cliff and stood behind Wen Chunsheng. She followed Wen Chunsheng's gaze and saw Pingjin City in the distance sitting on a bare plain.
Concubine Meng Xiang's pupils shrank, and after a pause, she smiled and said, "But why did Brother Wen come all the way to Zhongzhou? You withdrew from the Five Continents Competition without saying a word. I can't see Brother Wen at the Wendao Academy. You have no idea how sad I am."
Wen Chunsheng smiled gently and whispered, "Didn't you see it this time?"
"..." Meng Xiangfei forced a smile and said, "Could it be that the demon cultivator was really the one who made this noise, Brother Wen?"
Wen Chunsheng looked back at her and asked with a smile, "Why, you don't like them?"
Concubine Meng Xiang lowered her eyes and said coquettishly, "Of course I don't like it. I am a righteous cultivator. It's just that you are attracted by my beauty and insisted that I obey you, so I had no choice but to do it."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and tapped Wen Chunsheng's arm, humphing, "Don't use your spirit to summon me again in the future. It really hurts me to death."
Wen Chunsheng curled up the corners of his mouth and looked at Ping Jincheng again.
A cold wind blew in from the north, driving the dark clouds in a hurry. It seemed that the first winter snow of the year would soon arrive. Wen Chunsheng looked at the city with drifting green smoke and said gently, "If it weren't for their help, how could I have met the elite students of Wendao Academy?"
Meng Xiangfei was shocked and said with her hands covering her lips: "Brother Wen wants to..."
Kill these people?!
In an instant, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Meng Xiangfei's mind, making her uneasy and extremely frightened. Her face turned pale uncontrollably, and she smiled stiffly, "The Wendao Academy has Venerable Xingmo in charge. Brother Wen, do you already have the means to fight against Venerable Jing?"
confrontation?
Wen Chunsheng smiled softly and said, "You think too much. I will not do such a stupid thing. And you know, I always cherish talents." As soon as he finished speaking, two figures fell down one after another.
Standing quietly behind Wen Chunsheng.
He waved his hand, and the two figures flew towards Pingjin City.
Meng Xiangfei took a breath when she saw one of the familiar people.
"What do you want to do?"
Her voice was filled with fear and her body began to tremble.
Wen Chunsheng was still smiling, and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I rarely kill people. It's just that I've never seen someone as talented as Xi Lingren, and I'm very curious about her. Xiang Fei, after spending a few days with Xi Lingren, what kind of person do you think she is?"
Concubine Meng Xiang swallowed her saliva, smiled, and said, "I'm not familiar with her. I just think she's capable, fearless, and a bit naive." A very aggressive naivety. Concubine Meng Xiang thought of the calm and indifferent expression of the man who had casually offered her a challenge without giving her any face, and it was difficult to describe.
"I don't know the world."
Fearless, innocent, and unaware of the world.
Wen Chunsheng savored these two words, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Fearlessness is the absence of hardship, and innocence is the absence of darkness. The Lingshan Sect has never revealed its presence in the Five Continents. Ling Ren is a well-protected genius, whose reputation has been established after a few years in the world. To deal with a naive person, breaking her defenses is the easiest thing.
Wen Chunsheng dropped his hands, turned around, and left. Concubine Meng Xiang was surprised and asked, "You're leaving now?"
"Yes." Wen Chunsheng whispered, "If you want to see it, you can watch it from here, but Pingjincheng..." He smiled and said, "You can't enter it either."
Meng Xiangfei immediately turned her head and looked at the city shrouded in dark clouds.
"clatter."
03 pulled out a wooden stick, shook his legs hanging under the bed, and looked towards the kitchen through the newly pasted window paper.
Curls of smoke floated in the sky, and the aroma of meat lingered in the courtyard. The woman in the kitchen called out "Ya Ya". Liu Ya, who was lying on the other side of the small table playing stacking with 03, quickly jumped out of bed, put on her newly made cloth shoes and ran to the kitchen.
03 took this opportunity to pull out the letter paper. This time, she used bamboo leaf paper, with a few light green bamboo leaves embedded in the paper pulp, which looked particularly elegant. 03 wrote on the elegant paper: "Feng Jue, hello, today I'm having stewed goose and flatbread. Pingjincheng's flatbread is very thick and tastes like flatbread. Please try it."
She picked up the brush and carefully drew a circle on the letter paper and dotted it with sesame seeds.
When 03 finished writing the "love letter" and looked up, Liu Ya's honest father came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of stewed iron goose, and Liu Ya's mother was standing at the kitchen door, smiling gently and lowering her head to stuff the meat into Liu Ya's mouth.
Willow Bud smiled happily while tapping her feet.
Mother's legs.
03 watched intently, and was even happier when Liu Ya's father brought the meal to her room. The Liu family didn't eat with her, so 03 sat cross-legged on the bed, rolled up his sleeves without any airs, and began to fight the goose.
"I should write a love letter to Feng Jue, describing the flavor of farm dishes in detail, and then write a taste analysis report of farm dishes to the main system." 03 said with satisfaction, thinking that Feng Jue would surely be moved by her thoughtfulness, and she could also earn points from the main system, which was really great!
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, 03 went out with his clean bowl in hand. Liuya came out with a basin to fetch water for washing dishes. The well on this street was at the entrance of the alley. 03, being a polite little system, took the initiative to help Liuya carry the bucket, and the two of them went out together.
There were two people waiting in line to draw water at the well. When they saw 03, they quickly made way for her, looking very afraid of her. 03 nonchalantly put down her bucket, looked into the well, and said, "Hello."
The well was silent, and the echo of 03 could be heard.
Very interesting!
03 raised her jade flute and blew it towards the well. Liuya, holding the bucket, stared blankly at 03 and reached out to push her. 03 then stepped aside, playing the jade flute, and stood behind Liuya, watching her hang the bucket on the hook and throw it into the well.
Liuya turned to look at 03, her grape-like eyes filled with anticipation. 03 nodded, snapped his fingers, and used his spiritual power to drive the rope, slowly pulling the bucket of water up. Liuya, standing in front of 03, covered her ears with her hands and stamped her feet.
03 laughed loudly, put down the jade flute and went to pick up the bucket. Just as she bent down, something strange happened. A black shadow suddenly rushed out of the well and attacked 03. 03 raised Jiuxiao without changing her expression.
The translucent long sword spun rapidly at her fingertips, and the scabbard fell the moment the sword was drawn. An icy air spread, attacking the black shadow that had been hiding in the well for who knows how long.
At the moment when the sword light cut through the black shadow, a small palm came from behind 03 and slapped her back. 03 suddenly jumped up, turned around, and slashed with the long sword. Liu Ya looked at 03 with her black eyes and showed a cruel smile. Her body was knocked away by the sword energy. The smile on her face disappeared immediately. She fell to the ground, making a hoarse sound from her mouth, and gradually became silent.
"It's my senior!"
"Bud!"
Two voices sounded together.
At the door not far away, the woman who went out to pick up her child let out a shrill cry, and the wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang". She rushed forward in fear and hugged the fallen child.
Tan Yue and a man flew over and looked at 03 in shock.
"Senior! How can you be so careless?
"To attack an unarmed mortal, and such a young child at that!" Tan Yue said in panic. The man behind Tan Yue drew his sword and pointed it at 03 vigilantly.
"You are a disciple of Wendao Academy? Why are you destroying people's lives? This is not a righteous way!"
"Why did you hurt my child!" Liu Ya's mother shouted in shock and anger, her eyes full of pain. She lowered her head and looked at Liu Ya, whose eyes were closed and whose body was getting colder and colder, and tears fell down.
"Bud! Willow Bud!" the woman screamed in panic. "The immortal has killed someone! She killed my child!"
In the yard, Liuya's honest-looking father ran out with a hoe in his hand, rushing towards 03 with red eyes. 03 scratched his face, flew up and landed on the wall. She looked up at the sky, looking at Liuya's crying mother and angry father with a little curiosity.
Someone who had heard the noise came out to ask what was going on. The two people who had been hiding to let 03 and Liuya fetch water first fell to their knees in fear when 03 drew his sword. Pointing at him, they exclaimed in shock, "She suddenly went crazy and drew her sword. Liuya, frightened, reached out and slapped her, and she killed her with one blow!"
"She was staying at Liuya's house for a while, playing with Liuya. Who would have thought that she would chop Liuya to death just like that?"
"Ya'er!" Liu Ya's mother cried so hard that she almost fainted. She held Liu Ya's cold hand tightly and was already in infinite sorrow.
The alley was soon filled with people. The mortals of Pingjin City stared at 03 in fear and anger. Someone said, "Liu Ya was born mute, which was pitiful. His family was poor, and they thought an immortal would come to give them a good life. Who would have thought it was not an immortal, but the King of Hell!"
"Liu Ya was only five years old this year. She was the only daughter in their family, and she died just like that!"
"What immortal? Get out of Pingjin City!"
"Yama!"
"Murderer!"
Tan Yue's chest heaved as she whispered, "Master and I just returned to Pingjin City and saw what happened just now. Senior, I respectfully address you as Senior. Please explain what happened just now, or don't blame us for being rude!"
"Our family treats you as a guest of honor, why did you kill my child! Pay for my Ya'er's life!" Liu Ya's mother also shouted, picked up a stone from the ground and angrily threw it at 03.
03 tilted his head to avoid the flying stones, glanced at Liu Ya's hands hanging on the ground, and said calmly: "She started it, I defended myself."
"Oh, ridiculous! How could she, a little child, lay hands on you!" Tan Yue's master said angrily, "She just reached out and touched you, and you brutally killed her. How is this different from the behavior of a demon cultivator? You are so stubborn!
If it doesn't work, don't blame me for telling the Taiyan Sect's headmaster about this. Ask her to pass on a message to Venerable Xingmo, and I'll hold you accountable!"
After he finished speaking, he glared at 03 coldly.
03 didn't speak.
A minute passed and 03 still didn't speak.
Tan Yue's master frowned, the tip of his sword still pointed at 03, and urged, "Speak! Or do you still not have an explanation?"
How should I explain it? 03 blinked, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "I just wondered if I kept silent, would it be awkward for you?"
"Ha ha!"
"How dare you laugh!" Liu Ya's mother said angrily, her face flushed with anger, "Ya'er loved you so much, and you killed her without saying a word. Are you still human?"
Although I am not a human being, you are wrong.
03A calm face.
At this time, Tan Yue glanced at 03 and said, "Master, it seems that she has no way to refute this matter. Please keep an eye on her while I go to Taiyan Sect to report the news!"
"Okay!" Master Tan Yue nodded, raised his sword and stood behind Tan Yue, looking like he wanted to protect her from leaving.
03 I glanced at the ground and wondered where I had lost Jiuxiao's scabbard again?
Forget it.
03 snapped his fingers, and there was a "crackling" sound in the air. Everyone subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, only to see ice cracks on the body of the child held by Liu Ya's mother, and ice cubes falling "clattering". Liu Ya's chest rose and fell, but she kept her eyes closed.
"I didn't kill her," 03 said. "I just froze her temporarily. It seems like she's been possessed by demonic energy and is being controlled by someone."
Seeing the two people standing behind the well opening their mouths to speak, 03 raised his sword and pointed it at them, saying gently, "Please shut up and listen to me first. You may not have seen the black shadow because of poor eyesight, but I have evidence."
03 took out a photo stone from his storage ring and said with a smile, "It just so happened that I wanted to record my days in Pingjin City for my sweetheart, and the scene just now was all recorded in the photo stone."
Everyone below the wall was stunned and looked at the stone in her hand in surprise.
She used her spiritual power to control the image stone to hover in the air and said calmly, "Before the video is played, I just want to ask that demon cultivator: are all the people in the city under your control?"
The surroundings were silent, with only 03's cold voice softly saying, "The acting is all very poor."
"Let's look at the evidence first."
As the photo stone just started to glow, a black spiritual power rushed over and hit the photo stone with a "bang", shattering it.
Willow Bud, who was lying on the ground, slowly stood up, his black eyes staring straight ahead.
Staring at 03, he smiled coldly.
03 clapped his hands and said, "This is also very timely."
She curved her eyes and looked at Master Tan Yue and his disciple. They were startled, feeling that she was hinting at something. However, seeing her expressionless face, they could only say awkwardly, "It turns out that we misunderstood you, fellow Daoist."
Willow Bud spoke, the child's body emitting the voice of a mature woman. She asked, "What's so clumsy about it?"
03 said: "Everywhere."
Liuya laughed and said, "You're lying."
03 shook his head and said, "No, you're better at Gobang than Lingshi. I don't believe it."
Oh.
Liu Ya narrowed her eyes, wondering if she'd only played chess twice with this person, and he'd already seen through her? And after being seen through, he still pretended to be nothing and watched her continue to act like nothing happened? The demon cultivator's heart sank, and he clapped his hands. Those people with angry faces fell to the ground, and one by one, black mist drifted in, forming human bodies.
Tan Yue's master was shocked and said, "No wonder I couldn't find this demon cultivator. She's hiding in so many mortal bodies!"
03 Looking at the demon cultivator, she was naked, wearing a golden necklace on her chest, which looked like a magical device to conceal her demonic aura. The demon cultivator shook his head and said, "You're more difficult to deal with than I thought. Now that you've discovered me, I'm going to beat you half to death first, then steal your storage ring. By then, you'll be left with nothing, so what can I use as evidence?"
The demon cultivator smiled and said, "The entire city is under my control. I'm going to kill everyone here and pin the blame on you. How can anyone trust you then?"
"We are not pitiful at all. We are all people who are devoted to the Tao. Why should we be condemned by everyone? It's time for a child of destiny like you to experience the difficulties we poor people face."
This demon cultivator was very strange, but demon cultivators were all very strange creatures. 03 accepted it, and the Nine Heavens in her hand spun around, and she held it.
03 sighed and said, "You finally came out willingly. I'd better kill you first. Let's make this quick and easy. I'm in a hurry."
I haven’t finished writing today’s love letter yet. It would be bad if Feng Jue had to wait.
