Chapter 64
Feng Jue sensed something was wrong, but this could not stop the heat on her face. She pursed her lips, put on a haughty expression, trying to hide the gleam in her eyes, and paced over.
The quiet room was narrow, and 03 was squatting near the door. Feng Jue had to pass by her to get out. 03 tilted her head, looking up, but didn't speak yet.
Feng Jue clenched his fingers and tapped lightly on the top of 03's silver head.
"oops!"
03 She deliberately lowered her head and closed her eyes. Two stars, one big and one small, appeared, fell from the top of her head onto her shoulders, and turned into star-like lights that scattered.
"snort."
The gentle voice dissipated in the spiritual mist. 03 opened his eyes again and looked back. He saw the floating spiritual energy swaying with the swaying of Feng Jue's clothes, trying to cover up the vermilion.
Feng Jue didn't look back and said, "Practice well. Don't forget, there is still a Yuding Sect in Zhongzhou waiting for you to deal with."
[Mission: Destroy the Yuding Sect]
Access
[Task Status: In Progress]
Before 03 could give a thumbs-up, the door of the quiet room slammed shut.
03 waited for a while: "Huh!"
Is she alone?
03 hurried over, but the door was locked from the outside by Feng Jue. Three exclamation marks popped up above 03's head. He leaned against the door and begged, "Feng Jue, help!"
I have never slept on a boat in my life. I am very curious and I beg to be released!
Outside the quiet room was Feng Jue's bedroom. She was sitting at the table, and a palace maid was making tea for her. She remained calm when she heard the noise in the quiet room, and retreated respectfully after Feng Jue waved his hand.
A palace maid left, and a dragon came in with a show of strength. Feng Jue sipped his tea, glanced at her ruthless steps, and frowned, "What's that like?"
Ling Shi's pigeon toes immediately turned into pigeons, and she changed her attitude from not recognizing six relatives to not recognizing five relatives. She came over awkwardly, lay down on the table, and called out sweetly, "Master."
"What's your request?" Ling Shi's eyes sparkled, her cyan pupils like glass beads as she asked excitedly, "Are you going to kill someone or set a fire?"
Even Jiao is fine!
Especially good at setting fires!
Phoenix Technique: "..."
After she confirmed the contract with Ling Shi, she never instilled this idea into her! She said unhappily: "Be honest."
Lingshi shrank her neck, sat down obediently, and looked around.
Where are the beads?
The blue sky outside the window is like flowing silk, and the cloud shadows are like embroidery, sometimes continuous, sometimes blank.
Inside, one could hear the laughter of the disciples on the deck.
Feng Jue swallowed the tea and raised his hand to set up a barrier.
The noisy sounds were immediately hidden outside the barrier, not daring to disturb the people inside in the slightest.
So, Feng Jue asked, "When you mentioned your former master earlier, you were so frightened that you couldn't tell me what happened in the past. Now that you have transformed, how did you get trapped at the foot of Red Dragon Mountain, how did Xue Bufan fall off the cliff, and how did your former master repair his spiritual veins? Can you tell me?"
The three words "former master" made Ling Shi tremble. She suddenly felt cold and a little creepy. She forced herself to repeat "I am a fire dragon" three times before she suppressed the fear.
Feng Jue, who was sitting opposite her and saw her fear clearly, frowned, raised his hand to Lingshi's forehead, and injected spiritual energy into her to calm her mind. Lingshi finally recovered and swallowed her saliva.
"Is that old man so scary?" she whispered.
"Grandpa?" Ling Shi's eyes showed doubt. Loyalty overcame fear and she whispered, "Master, the previous master was not a human, but a fragment of his soul."
Soul fragments?
Feng Jue raised his eyebrows.
Ling Shi's face wrinkled, a blank look flashing across her cyan pupils as she struggled to recall, "I seem to have been born in a volcano. Later, I met my former master, who subdued me and brought me to Dongzhou. He had me hide beneath the cliffs of Red Dragon Mountain, while he hid his own soul fragments in a ring... He had a cold personality and a terrible temper."
Feng Jue frowned and said in a cold voice: "Has he ever hurt you?" Ling Shi was so afraid of that spiritual consciousness, she must have been bullied a lot.
However, Ling Shi nodded and said angrily, "Yes, his methods are very cruel! He has caused me so much pain many times that I wish I were dead. Fortunately, after going to Hongjiao Mountain, he sleeps in the ring every day. But every time he appears, he mocks me with words. He is so annoying!"
Lingshi slammed the table hard.
The teacup on the table jumped, and Lingshi was so scared that she quickly put her hands behind her back.
"Do you remember the name of that spirit? Or its appearance?" Feng Jue asked.
Ling Shi racked her brains and whispered, "I only remember it was a black mass with no face."
There is no body either.
There was no way to find him. Feng Jue frowned and listened to Ling Shi again: "My master told me that if anyone passed by the cliff, I should bring them back. But I was sealed under the cliff for many years and never saw anyone. Until more than a year ago, I heard a fight on the cliff. I waited for a long time below and finally saw someone fall. I quickly picked him up!"
A red lava dragon tilted its head back and looked at the cliff, its big watery eyes full of anticipation.
Lingshi clapped her hands and said happily, "This is the scene!"
Feng Jue looked at the panel hovering in front of him, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Did I allow you to come out?"
03, whose legs had definitely not left the quiet room, had a flowery head and laughed heartily. Feng Jue shook his head, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for 03. 03 walked over happily, took out peanuts and sunflower seeds from his storage ring, placed them on the table, and said to everyone, "Please."
This is the time to have a snack.
Feng Jue picked up a peanut and said slowly, "Continue."
Ling Shi gathered a handful of melon seeds in front of her and muttered, "Then my master appeared very happily and took out something—'Pah'"
In the pitch-black cave on the panel, an equally pitch-black object, holding a question mark, "slapped" onto the stick figure with its eyes crossed out. Ling Shi raised her hand and said cheerfully, "Xue Bufan's spiritual roots are fine!"
Feng Jue: “?”
03 nodded: "Oh!"
Feng Jue raised his hand to his forehead and calmed down.
03 asked for it: "What does that thing look like?"
Lingshi shook her head and said, "I was almost dead at that time, so I didn't see clearly what it was."
"Alas!" One, three and one dragon sighed at the same time.
Feng Jue, who was holding up his forehead, paused for a moment, his long eyelashes trembling, and asked doubtfully, "How old were you when you were captured?"
Ling Shi raised her hands to cover her face and said shyly, "We dragons have different ages than humans. Although I'm almost a thousand years old, I'm not even an adult among Fire Rock Dragons!"
"But the master asked me how old I was when I was caught..." Ling Shi rolled her eyes and shook her head, "I can't remember clearly."
Can't remember?
Feng Jue found Ling Shi's words a little strange. Could it be that the person who had captured Ling Shi and taken her to Hongjiao Mountain had done something to her? How could she not even remember these things?
03 pulled up the panel and supplemented Ling Shi's information. She said, "The Fire Rock Dragon must devour the Flame Stone every thousand years. If you remember when you were captured and taken to Red Dragon Mountain, you can at least rule out the cultivators who were born during the years you were trapped."
Lingshi tried hard to think, but all she could remember was a vast expanse of fire and Lingzhi's cold eyes. The bone-eating pain that entangled her soul made her groan involuntarily. 03 and Fengjue showed surprise and hurried over to comfort her.
"Forget it, if you can't remember, then don't think about it." Feng Jue patted Ling Shi's shoulder.
03 also clapped his hands, peeled two peanuts and placed them in Lingshi's hand.
Lingshi stuffed a handful of peanuts into her mouth, chewing them while whimpering and saying angrily:
"If I meet him again, I will make him feel the pain I went through!"
"Oh, okay, go out and play." Feng Jue said gently.
Lingshi said okay and became carefree again. She reached out and swept the melon seeds given by 03 onto the hem of her clothes, put them in her pocket and went out to play.
After she left, 03 looked up and met Feng Jue's gaze.
Feng Jue just expressed his suspicions: "I always feel that Ling Shi's words are too concise. I'm afraid that the spiritual consciousness is deliberately disrupting Ling Shi's memory in order to conceal it."
03 He opened the two panels with question marks on them and fell into deep thought.
Putting aside the question of who this soul fragment was, why did he have Ling Shi hide under the cliff to capture someone, just to possess their body? 03 hesitantly asked Feng Jue, "I've only been around for a short time and lack experience. Feng Jue, please tell me, there's a young person lying before you, with exceptional talent, whose spiritual roots haven't been destroyed. He's seriously injured and unable to resist. You have the means to repair his spiritual roots. If you want to possess this person, why wait until he's stronger in the future, instead of taking action now that he's injured?"
Is there some other plot obstacle?
Feng Jue shook her head. How could she, a complete and intact person, know what a soul was thinking?
She sat down again, frowning and saying, "Ling Shi said that the soul fragment has a cold and bad temper. I think he was not an easy person to get along with when he was alive. I don't know if he pretended in front of Xue Bufan. I saw the consciousness left by Chongshan Immortal Venerable in the Chongshan Secret Realm. He was unrestrained and uninhibited -"
He is a tough guy, but he is also an open-minded person.
"Comparing the two, Xue Bufan didn't find anything wrong?" Feng Jue was full of doubts. He raised his hand to press against the solar plexus and kneaded it.
03 saw it and hurried over, pulled out a diagram of the human body's acupuncture points, pressed his white fingers on the acupuncture points, and gently massaged Feng Jue. Feng Jue was stunned for a moment, his brows relaxed, and he chuckled softly, leaning back on 03.
The golden hairpin immediately drew a fold on the white clothes. Feng Jue closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Not bad, it's on the right track."
"reward."
With a crackling sound, the peanuts in her hand cracked. Feng Jue picked up a crispy, fragrant peanut and held it up casually. Wide sleeves fell from her wrists like a rosy cloud, and a jade bracelet dangled above it, framing her delicate, snow-like skin.
The peanuts pinched by the white fingertips make them look noble.
03 leaned over, moved closer, thought for a moment before opening his mouth, and said with a smile: "Feng Jue, stingy."
Feng Jue opened her eyes in surprise, only to feel her fingertips soften. The woman with her head lowered opened her pink lips and took the peanut from her fingertips. The heat returned, and Feng Jue grabbed 03's wrist in annoyance, pinching the peanut.
He cracked the shell and poured the remaining two peanut kernels into 03's palm.
Who are you calling stingy?
03 Huahua appeared on his head, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Don't be afraid. When the second round of the competition comes, I will go to check on Xue Bufan's situation."
Yes, you are Xue Bufan’s senior sister.
Feng Jue crossed her arms and continued to enjoy 03's massage while thinking. After a while, she paused and asked, "Are you going to use Jiuxiao for your investigation?" Or should she go to the study and write a declaration of war, embarrass the opponent with calligraphy first, and then draw her sword and attack?
03: “Hahahaha!”
The clear and gentle laughter fell from the top of his head to his ears, and Feng Jue sighed helplessly.
What are you talking about? You are an idiot who would rather act than talk!
After twelve days of sailing west, the spirit ship finally arrived at Yunliang Road.
The disciples selected from Dongzhou were excited at first, but later became calm. Anyone would become calm if they looked at the same scenery every day. However, when Lan Zhi said that Yunliang Road was right before their eyes, the calmness immediately turned into excitement.
The Five Continents Competition is selecting 3,000 people. All 3,000 of these talented individuals have gathered here, awaiting the second round of competition! Looking across China, there are so many talented people. I wonder how many will stand out in the competition, the Academy asked.
On the big ship of Lanyang Palace, Mu Rong scratched her face and looked at the big ship of Wendao Academy in front of her.
The sail hanging on the big ship of Wen Dao Academy was inscribed with the same words as on the jade plaque: "Hearing the Tao morning and evening, warm and moist."
Mu Rong said with a smile: "Are you asking us to be humble and polite? That's great. We Lanyang Palace disciples are the most humble and polite!" She is a disciple of Liyang Peak, and she is the only one who can be polite!
Xue Mengtao was leaning against the railing, looking down. She fell silent upon hearing this and said softly, "I think it's more polite than what Senior Sister thinks."
"Really?" Mu Rong thought deeply.
The interior of the top cabin of a large ship.
03 She sat obediently on the bed facing the wall, with a golden gauze covering her head. Her long silver hair under the golden gauze was like a sparkling river at sunrise, reflecting the light of the waves.
“Wow.”
03 moved his ears.
“Crash.”
03 tilted his head, and the bells attached to his hair jingled.
"Phoenix Secret." 03 asked, "Why am I facing the wall with a scarf on my head?"
On the other side of the bed, behind a screen painted with the four-season scenery of Qihuang Peak, Feng Jue emerged from the water and lay down beside the tub. He snorted softly and said slowly, "No reason."
03The question mark on the top of the head split from the middle and turned into bubbles, and the balls inside all looked up and cried.
Qi said: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
Feng Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "I am a dangerous wall?"
She turned around, the sound of water splashing, and Feng Jue asked again: "Are you a gentleman?"
You're a ball.
03 Shaking her head: "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent." She raised her hands to cover her ears.
"Heh." Feng Jue raised her hand, and a string of water droplets flew towards 03 through the gap in the screen. 03 opened her hands that were covering her ears and snapped her fingers. The water droplets suddenly stopped, gathered into a whole ball of water, and floated around 03 and in front of her.
03 opened his eyes, held the ball of water in his palm, and said honestly: "Feng Jue, this little water is not enough for my body to take a bath."
“Crash!”
Behind the screen, the sound of water quickened, and there was the sound of feet hitting the ground, followed by the rustling of clothes. Feng Jue emerged from behind the screen and strode towards them. She raised her snow-white arm, and pinched the golden scarf on 03's head with her index and middle fingers. With a cold snort, she pulled the scarf back and tied up her long hair.
03 Ask: "Can I move now?"
"Um."
03 breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned back with the water ball.
After her bath, Feng Jue's entire body was filled with moisture, like a lotus emerging from the water, extremely beautiful. 03 curved her eyes and said, "I want to take a bath too."
"Feng Jue, you don't have to face the wall when I wash you. Just cover yourself with a handkerchief and close your eyes."
Feng Jue said slowly: "Why should I do this?"
03: "Huh?"
"Surprise!"
Because she was asked to do so. 03The balls in the bubble puffed up their cheeks.
Feng Jue curled her lips into a smile and snapped her fingers. The water ball held in 03's palm instantly turned into steam and evaporated. She bent down and tapped 03's nose, smiling, "Don't worry, I won't look at you. I'm just going to the outer room to dress up."
03 thought carefully and said, "It's okay if you want to see it, but you also have what I have--"
have.
03, whose mouth was covered again, curled his eyes, and the balls in the bubble squeezed his eyes, with stars next to them.
Qiuqiu gave a thumbs up.
Feng Jue pressed down the thumbs up raised by 03 and snorted coldly, "Who wants to look at you!"
"Yeah," 03 nodded and whimpered, "Yours is good."
Possessing a perfect figure that is very consistent with human aesthetics!
03The other hand gives a thumbs up and a red heart lights up above the head.
Phoenix Technique: "..."
Her face flushed, and she snapped
The other restless hand slapped it down, angrily asking, "You know this again?"
03 said: "Read widely."
She has extensive experience working in human society. Although she only had work in her eyes before, and the humans in the mission world treated her like code, she is now a human being as well.
Hahaha.
Maybe this is what people call the changing fortunes?
03The bubble on top sometimes shows an ellipsis of thinking and sometimes an exclamation mark.
"Sometimes I really don't know what you are..." Feng Jue's words disappeared on his lips. Someone knocked on the door. It was the palace maid who was dressing Feng Jue.
The exclamation point becomes a question mark.
03 stared at Feng Jue's back, thinking: She didn't cover Feng Jue's mouth, why didn't Feng Jue finish his words? Only then could she answer Feng Jue's questions.
Two palace maids lifted the curtain and walked in, bowing to 03.
03 quickly said, "Hello."
The palace maid just smiled without saying anything and went behind the screen to clean the tub. 03 thought for a moment and said, "Feng Jue, you are a clean Feng Jue. I don't think there is any need to change the water. I don't mind using the water you have used for washing."
It also saves time and water.
The clean Feng Jue's opinion of her was: A golden shadow came over and slapped her head with a "slap". 03 took off the golden handkerchief, shook it in his hand, looked at it reflecting different shades of light, and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand."
Zhongzhou has a vast territory, larger than the other two continents. Yunliang Road is located to the west of Zhongzhou, connecting Xile, Nanyang and Beijiang. It has a flat terrain, cities connected to each other, and is extremely wealthy.
The richest city among them is Zhongzhou Luoxia City.
Luoxia is both a city and a sect. The Chengxian Chamber of Commerce, which trades across the five continents, is the industry of Luoxia City.
In this Dongzhou competition, Luoxia City hosted the second round of competition.
03 She changed into a cyan dress, accessorized with a jade hairpin, and had a silver peony painted on her forehead. She descended from the rooftop like a cloud. The Lanyang Palace disciples who had gathered on the deck hurriedly saluted her, their faces lit with smiles. They thought, "Sister Ruxi is such a peerless beauty, no matter how many times you look at her, you never get tired of it. She is truly a beauty beyond the clouds, not to be desecrated!"
The beauty from the clouds said quickly, "Hello." She walked to the bow with a calm face, looked down, and almost had an exclamation mark on her head.
"Wow!" 03 turned around and said to Feng Jue who was leaving the house after her, "Feng Jue, this place looks very rich."
Feng Jue said "hmm" and walked to 03's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
I saw that Luoxia City under the spirit ship was extremely vast, even if I stood on the ship,
Even if you look up, you can't see the end. Looking out from afar, the river runs through the city. In addition to the river, there are several large lakes located in different parts of the city. In the sunlight, they are like transparent mirrors. Large ships with various mythical beasts carved on them sail on the rivers and lakes, showing a prosperous scene.
Peach, plum, pear, tung, willow, cedar and bamboo are scattered throughout the city, like the phoenix hairpins on a woman's head, decorating the golden houses and jade tiles. In the staggered courtyards, there are also graceful mountains rising one after another, surrounded by flying pavilions and flowing rivers.
Siyi pointed to the mountain in the center of Luoxia City and said to Xue Mengtao, "Luoxia City was built on a plain, and the mountains here were all created by human hands. Although powerful cultivators have the power to move mountains and create seas, this mountain was built bit by bit by the Luoxia City Lords over the generations."
"Rumor has it that this mountain is hollow, and that it contains the wealth of Luoxia City."
Xue Mengtao looked at the mountain that looked like a giant dragon lying in the city and couldn't help but take a breath.
03 Quietly asked Feng Jue: "Is Luoxia City richer than Lanyang Palace?"
Feng Jue whispered, "Maybe."
"Why are we talking like this?" Feng Jue raised his eyebrows.
03 Pat Feng Jue on the shoulder.
Don't show your wealth to others.
She might just have some loopholes, so the items provided to her by the main system are of very high value.
Learn from experience and lessons.
Feng Jue chuckled, took out two spirit beads from the storage ring, handed them to 03, and said, "If you are not in a hurry, I will take you for a walk in the city after the boat stops." Speaking of which, this was her first time in Luoxia City.
Siyi saw the two of them coming over after they finished talking and said with a smile, "Palace Master, do you still remember that on the way back to Lanyang Palace from the Chongshan Secret Realm, some blind cultivators rented the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce's large ship and were mowed down by the Palace Master with a single blow of his sword?"
When talking about the sword sweeping down, Siyi looked at 03.
03: “Hahahaha!”
Feng Jue hummed, then said, "How is it? Are they causing trouble for me?"
Siyi laughed and said, "How could that be? The Chengxian Chamber of Commerce dared to rent a large ship to these cultivators to block our path. If the ship was destroyed by the Palace Master, they should be held responsible. However, afterward, the president of the Chengxian Chamber of Commerce, who is also the Lord of Luoxia City, heard about this and, as a token of his apology, personally wrote a letter of apology and sent it to Lanyang Palace."
"Hmm?" Feng Jue raised his eyebrows and glanced at Siyi.
What?
Siyi said softly, "The city lord meant that they were just opening for business. I didn't expect those people to rent a boat to intercept Lanyang Palace's boat. I hope this incident won't cause dissatisfaction for Lanyang Palace. I hope Lanyang Palace will come to Luoxia City to do business more often in the future."
"In addition to the letter, the city lord also personally wrote the four words '招财进宝' as an apology gift." Siyi chuckled.
Feng Jue's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
03 blinked, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "It means wealth and fortune, a very good omen."
Siyi covered her lips, the smile in her eyes deepening as she said, "Yes, what a wonderful and auspicious words. My fellow Daoist, the City Lord of Luoxia City has the bloodline of the Pixiu, which is an auspicious beast. If you like it, I will give you the painting that the City Lord drew."
03, like Feng Jue, remained silent. She didn't know the Lord of Luoxia City, but she did know Siyi. Siyi wasn't someone who liked to talk nicely, so 03 needed to think tactfully.
She pondered, “Is it bad to regift someone else’s gift?”
It is also the handwritten inscription of the lord of a city.
"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Xi, the City Lord of Luoxia City won't mind. If we ever get the chance to meet and are asked about it, I'll have someone go to any shop in the city and order one." Siyi said softly, "If Fellow Daoist Xi doesn't like 'Attract Wealth and Treasures,' you can ask for other auspicious words. Cultivators who enter Luoxia City only need to spend a thousand spirit stones or more to receive the Luoxia City theme words. If the hospitality is poor, the apology will still be the Luoxia City theme words."
There are many sects in the five continents. Which sect does not have a hundred or eighty pieces of calligraphy by the Lord of Luoxia City?
03Open your mouth.
Wow!
Feng Jue glanced at it, raised his hand to close it for her, and chuckled, "No need to change it, just frame it to attract wealth and treasure, and hang it around her neck."
Thinking about that scene, Feng Jue couldn't help but laugh. He stroked 03's chin with his fingers and said elegantly, "Who made us so arrogant? What we lack most now is wealth and treasure?"
The author has something to say
03: It’s points.
