Chapter 273: Second Shikigami: Hot Spring Aftertaste
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, godfather."
Chiba Xuexu, her mother and her two daughters were extremely grateful to Li Xiang. The two delicate little girls kissed Li Xiang on the cheek, one on each side.
Chiba Xuexu's injury had not yet recovered, so Li Xiang stood up and said, "Have a good rest. We can talk about other things after dawn."
Now Chaolu and Xiwu are both first-level transcendents and are capable of protecting their mother.
"Master..." Chiba Xuexi wanted to keep him, but Li Xiang waved his hand and gently closed the wooden door when he left.
He walked around the hot springs, using his earth-related abilities to repair the damaged ground.
"Dishu Yanshilu" is extremely convenient for doing this job. Wherever Li Xiang passes, it is restored in minutes, and some places are even reinforced with rock armor techniques.
Nothing happened that night. When Chiba Xuexu woke up the next morning, he was stunned to see the ground restored to its original state. He knew it was Li Xiang's masterpiece and was moved at the same time.
"Thank you, Master." Chiba Xuexi bowed and wanted to go up and hug Li Xiang, but she was a little afraid.
"I have some wood here. You can find someone to repair the floor and the roof." Li Xiang waved his hand and released a lot of precious wood. These were all boards that had already been processed by the wood processing factory and could be used directly.
"Is this... red sandalwood? Huanghuali? Oh, my God, there is also golden teak?" Chiba Xuexu is also a connoisseur. After taking a quick look, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, "Master, this is too precious."
"Not worth mentioning." Li Xiang waved his hand.
He had no idea how much wood there was in his system warehouse. Now the warehouse was seven times larger than before, and could hold more supplies. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a drop in the bucket.
Chiba Xuexu accepted it with peace of mind, as it was a gift from the master. Besides, no matter how precious the wood was, it was still a common thing, not as precious as elixirs and breathing techniques. Chiba Xuexu made a phone call and asked a familiar construction company to come over and help repair the house.
When she finished her work and returned to the room, she saw Li Xiang teasing his two daughters.
"Mom, our godfather has given us a lot of delicious spiritual fruits again." Chiba Chaolu and Chiba Xiwu snuggled up to Li Xiang, one on each side, and were eating happily.
Li Xiang waved his hand, motioning Chiba Xuexu to come over and sit down, then he taught them how to practice and answered some questions they had during their practice.
Li Xiang has a high level of cultivation and often communicates with cultivation geniuses like Luo Feifei, so it is no problem for him to guide these three novices.
Chiba Yukio mentioned that since Aoandon was a nun, she had been studying some Buddhist scriptures recently. She had a new realization while healing her wounds last night. Maybe Aoandon did not disappear completely, but was in hibernation. Maybe, she could come back one day.
Since Qing Fangzhu likes Buddhist scriptures, if she takes the initiative to study this knowledge, perhaps Qing Fangzhu can recover soon.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Xiang recommended to her several Buddhist scriptures that were widely circulated in China, such as the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Mahavairocana Sutra, etc.
These scriptures were all available on the Internet. Chiba Xuexi quickly searched and downloaded them.
However, these scriptures were rather profound. Although she understood Chinese, her Chinese level was naturally not as good as Li Xiang's. Therefore, she bowed and asked Li Xiang to stay for a few more days to teach her how to recite the scriptures.
Li Xiang: “…” Then he reluctantly explained the meaning of some scriptures to her.
Fortunately, he was fast and only took an hour to get home, so he would come to Chiba Yukio's dormitory late at night every day and teach her to recite Buddhist scriptures.
However, Li Xiang only stayed for a short time each time, only an hour or two, and then left in a hurry.
Because even Buddha couldn't stand such a beautiful young woman reciting scriptures. Li Xiang felt that he would make mistakes if he stayed for too long.
Since the damaged buildings were all made of wood, they were repaired in just three days, and "Yukio no Yado" resumed business.
Li Xiang observed for a few days and found that business was good and no one came to cause trouble.
By the sixth night, Chiba Yukio not only recovered from his injuries, but also achieved a breakthrough.
The new crimson mark below her collarbone suddenly lit up: "Second Shikigami, Red Prajna, appears!"
The flaming folding fan opened with a "swish", and a girl-like shikigami in a scarlet kimono stepped out of the fire, with pointed red horns in her hair, a bit like sheep horns, and also like deer horns.
Li Xiang asked what abilities this shikigami had. Chiba Xuexu did not dare to hide anything and immediately explained everything, demonstrating as he went along.
"Red Prajna" is a fire-attributed combat shikigami who can summon the Karma Fire Red Lotus barrier. The folding fan he holds is the "Burning Sky Seven Bone Fan", which can decompose all things into fire elements.
In addition, there is a "Karma Fire Silver Bell" hidden in the hair of the "Red Prajna" Shikigami - when it shakes, sparks will fall and condense into petals of the other shore flower.
Li Xiang considered carefully and felt that there were actually differences in the anger among Chiba Xuexu, Chiba Chaolu, and Lei Xiaohui.
Lei Xiaohui's fire is Taoist fire, full of Taoist charm and spirituality, while Qianye Chaolu's fire comes from the smoke of volcanic lava deep underground. It is domineering, vicious, fierce and poisonous. As for Qianye Xuexu, his fire is somewhat gloomy and is called "ghost fire".
According to myths and legends, the Red Lotus Karma Fire comes from the eighteen levels of the Avici Hell. It is fueled by sin and karma. Once touched, it cannot be extinguished and one can only wait for the karmic fire to burn out all the sins. The pain during this period is unbearable for ordinary people.
However, whether it is Qingfangzhu or Chi Prajna, they are both extremely beautiful and have amazing bodies.
It is worth mentioning that after Chiba Xuexu's breakthrough, she sensed Aoandon again. And this time the "connection" was stronger than before. As she had expected, Aoandon did not completely disappear, but fell into a deep sleep. Chiba Xuexu estimated that it would take at least a hundred days before he could be summoned again, and perhaps even longer.
Although the first Shikigami, Aoandon, is temporarily dormant, with this second Shikigami, Chiba Yukio has become a second-level transcendent, and his strength has not declined but increased, becoming even more powerful than before.
With her two daughters also achieving breakthroughs, Chiba Xuexi was even more grateful to Li Xiang.
To thank Li Xiang, this beautiful young woman personally prepared a cypress medicinal bath late at night and helped Li Xiang bathe and change clothes.
She took off her outer robe and knelt by the pool in her plain white jacket, scooping water with a wooden spoon and pouring it over Li Xiang's shoulders. Chi Prajna knelt on the other side, demonstrating the tea ceremony and feeding the brewed fragrant tea to Li Xiang's mouth.
Li Xiang took a sip and found it to have a unique taste.
The private hot spring late at night was filled with the aroma of cypress. Chiba Xuexi knelt in the mist, her fingertips brushing across Li Xiang's back muscles.
"Master, do you know the story behind this cypress bath?"
She gave Li Xiang a massage, and the sound was as soft as falling snow.
"Before the warriors of the Warring States Period went to war, their wives would use 100-year-old cypress wood to boil soup to purify themselves and pray for their husbands."
Li Xiang closed his eyes and enjoyed it. He had to say that Chiba Xuexiu's massage technique was good and Chi Prajna's tea art skills were also first-rate.
"If the master is tired, Xuexu's lap pillow will always be kept for you." In the misty water vapor, Xuexu lowered his eyes and whispered.
