Chapter 194: Getting Ready to Go to Feng Wu
Long Qi never expected that Lingxiang would actually go to Fengwu Mountain. That place did not leave him with any good memories, especially the old mountain god who looked sloppy and unkempt.
"What are you going there for?"
Lingxiang was genuinely confused by Long Qi's reaction. She had read about Yunmeng Lake in her mother's notes, and after much research, she had finally discovered the Kunwu Sect's close connection. However, when she had previously visited Kunwu Sect, the old man, Xuanhuai, had only known one aspect of the matter and had no idea where the entrance to Yunmeng Lake was.
Senior Brother Chi Yanzi knew the entrance to the Water Mirror, but he had probably brought Maidong back to Yuanqing Sect. It was impossible for me to go back and ask him to lead the way. Otherwise, I might be caught by Senior Brother Six as soon as I stepped into Jiuque Mountain.
Fortunately, Chi Yanzi told Lingxiang some things before leaving, which could be of help.
…
"On the way here, there's a chance that the witch Yinghuan will cause trouble again, so you have to be extra careful, senior brother." Lingxiang said as she packed Chi Yanzi's bag.
Chi Yanzi had nothing, but Lingxiang was worried and went out shopping for some clothes for him. After all, he was her mother's only disciple. Ever since Lingxiang learned of Chi Yanzi's identity, she considered him, like her fellow disciples in the Yuanqing Sect, a family member. And it wasn't just that; Lingxiang simply couldn't bear to watch.
Ever since she knew Chi Yanzi, she had never seen him change his clothes. Even when he went to Yuanqing Sect in rags, he actually patched up the tattered clothes and wore them.
After all, Chi Yanzi knew the city lord and the governor. Even if he was an outsider, he wouldn't have such messy hair and rough clothes, right?
Chi Yanzi, wearing a new robe, was meditating on the couch, regulating his breathing. Although he didn't respond, he was listening attentively. He felt more and more that Lingxiang was like his master. Although he was always smiling and playful, he was actually thinking about others in his heart.
Forget it, even though I don't want her to take risks, I think even if I keep it a secret, she will find a way one day. It's better to tell her what I know so that she can avoid taking detours.
"Since you are going to Yunmeng Fairyland and you have the Penglai Jade Branch, do you know where the Water Mirror is?"
Lingxiang paused for just a moment and then continued to pick up the things.
"As Senior Brother said, Mother wrote down everything about her trip to Yunmengze in her notes, but she didn't mention the whereabouts of the Water Mirror."
On the way here, Lingxiang asked Chi Yanzi because she guessed that he would know, but she didn't expect Chi Yanzi to change the subject. Later, when they arrived at the clinic, the matter was left unresolved.
Although it was only a moment, Chi Yanzi saw Lingxiang's beating.
This Lingxiang actually plotted against him. Her roundabout nature was exactly the same as her master's.
Chi Yanzi sighed and closed his eyes again. "Master took me to Shuijing, but the location is secret and protected by divine power. Even if I told you, you might not be able to find it. Now I have to escort Maidong back to Yuanqing. Even if I wanted to take you there, I would be too busy to do so."
Lingxiang said nothing, tied her bag and placed it on the small table, then sat down and waited for Chi Yanzi to continue.
"However, if you can find someone, he will definitely bring you to Shuijing safely. But that person is a bit strange. Only Master could subdue him back then."
"Brother, you really do have a way," Lingxiang propped up her cheek, her eyes smiling into two crescent moons. "Who has such ability?"
Thinking of that person, Chi Yanzi actually laughed. "It's better to say he's a god than a human. He was originally an immortal in Yunmeng Lake. Because he offended someone and was afraid of being harassed, he followed his master out. Now he has proclaimed himself the god of the mountain, hiding in the mountains and rarely coming out."
…
The god of a mountain?
Long Qi's eyelids twitched, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart: "The mountain god that old man Chi Yanzi mentioned, could it be the mountain god of Fengwu Mountain?"
This time it was Lingxiang who was surprised. Judging from Long Qi's tone, it seemed that he knew him.
“I know him…” Long Qi gritted his teeth and said, “Even if he turned into ashes, I would still recognize him!”
Seeing Long Qi like this, Lingxiang was even more confused. She hurriedly looked at Xinyi, but saw that his eyes were full of ridicule.
Seeing Lingxiang looking at her, Xinyi told her about her encounter with the merman Luoli at Fengwu Mountain, not forgetting to mention how she stripped Long Qi naked.
Long Qi was initially angry at the mountain god for not reacting, but when he came to his senses, he stepped forward to hit Xinyi.
After hearing what Xinyi said, Lingxiang was a little surprised, sighing at how subtle fate could be. But what surprised her even more was Xinyi.
Based on her understanding of Xinyi, she was a person who had always been an iceberg. She had never been so playful and joking before. She even dodged and teased Long Qi at the same time.
Just as Lingxiang was feeling extremely surprised, Liu Yaoyi came out from outside the house and brought over the dry food she had prepared for Lingxiang.
Ever since she told Lingxiang about the matter, she has been a little worried about Lingxiang. She is just worried that her journey will not be smooth, and she has been thinking about everything for her.
Lingxiang thanked Liu Yaoyi, and seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, she said, "Since Madam is familiar with my mother, she must be Lingxiang's family. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."
Liu Yaoyi pondered for a moment before saying, "You must have a creature of my generation in your sleeve, but it's just experiencing a breakthrough, so it's unconscious. If you take it to Yunmeng Fairyland, I'm afraid it will be dangerous..."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yaoyi could actually detect this. The person Lingxiang had hidden in her sleeve was none other than Adao. Adao had been cultivating with Lingxiang until now, and was now realizing the path of demons. He was now like hibernating.
"Madam, please be at ease," Lingxiang said soothingly with a smile. "I also intended to take it to Yunmengze. I heard that under the governance of Yunzhongjun, it still retains its ancient state and is very rich in spiritual energy. Although I originally wanted to train it into a spiritual beast, I didn't expect it to have spiritual roots. Now it is considered my disciple. Bringing it into Shuijing is also an opportunity for it."
After hearing Lingxiang's explanation, Liu Yaoyi was still worried and said, "Demons are very cunning. You must be careful and don't let it fool you."
Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this, stroking the warmth in her sleeves. "Madam, your intentions are good. Lingxiang understands. However, just as my mother trusts you, I also trust it deeply. People have good and evil sides, and so do demons."
When Liu Yaoyi heard Lingxiang say this, she was stunned. Many years ago, someone had said this to her.
…
"People have good and evil, and so do demons. No matter where they come from or where they go, all living things are governed by the mind."
…
Liu Yaoyi smiled and looked at Lingxiang, thinking to herself, "Tumi, your daughter is exactly like you, so innocent, so kind..."
So beautiful...
