Chapter 38



Qin Yunshang is different from Qin Yunyi.

Qin Yunyi has always been a Bodhisattva with a vicious heart, while Qin Yunshang is a straightforward person, and her badness and fear are obvious.

Xie Changji hadn't even started to attack, but he had already led his men away cleanly. It seemed that he was in trouble because of the shadow he had received from Xie Wushuang in Yunlai last time.

Xie Wushuang is like this, let alone his master Xie Changji?

Hua Xiangwan swallowed the glutinous rice balls, got off Xiaobai while eating, and walked to Yun Qingxu's side.

The young Taoist priest she met in Yunsheng Town was full of energy when she saw him before. He helped them escape from the predicament of being besieged by a group of elderly people in Yunsheng Town, so she gave him a defensive talisman.

I didn't expect this defensive talisman to take effect so quickly. When I saw him again, the little Taoist priest was no longer the same as before. He was carrying a bag and looked covered in wounds.

Hua Xiangwan looked him up and down, confirming that he was seriously injured. She turned to look at Xie Changji and discussed, "Why don't we stabilize the situation first and carry him to the inn?"

As she said this, she stuffed the last glutinous rice ball into her mouth.

Xie Changji turned to look at her and said, "We have never met before, why would you save me?"

This question confused Hua Xiangwan.

In her memory, Xie Changji has always been a nosy person. Whenever he sees something unfair, he will usually intervene.

Yun Qingxu is a disciple of the Dao Sect, which is considered a reputable and upright sect. Now that she is in trouble, Xie Changji actually asks her "why did you save her"?

She was stunned for a moment, and Xie Changji seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He turned to look at Yun Qingxu and said calmly, "I don't know the details, and I'm afraid of causing trouble."

"Don't worry," Hua Xiangwan smiled, "Qin Yunshang wouldn't chase a Daoist disciple for no reason. He must have something. Since he's been saved, it doesn't matter if she takes care of him for a while longer."

As she spoke, Hua Xiangwan called Xiaobai over and reached out to help Yun Qingxu.

Xie Changji was very sensible. He raised his hands to stop her movements, carried Yun Qingxu up by himself, and threw him on Xiaobai.

The two took Yun Qingxu to a nearby town and found a clinic to see a doctor. It was not until the next day that he finally woke up coughing.

Hua Xiangwan heard that he had woken up, and quickly got up and went over with Xie Changji.

Seeing Hua Xiangwan, Yun Qingxu was stunned. He was a little surprised: "Senior?"

"Awake?" Hua Xiangwan smiled brightly. She reached out to take the teapot and pour water. Xie Changji beside her took the teapot directly and lowered his head to make tea.

Hua Xiangwan's hands were free, so she moved a stool and turned around to talk to Yun Qingxu attentively.

"Are you okay?"

Yun Qingxu heard this, felt his condition, nodded and said: "I am much better now, thank you for saving me."

"What's going on with you?" Hua Xiangwan gestured, "Will this offend the people from Mingluan Palace?"

Hearing this, Yun Qingxu sighed. Xie Changji handed the water to him. He was quite helpless: "This is all a misunderstanding."

"What do you mean?"

Hua Xiangwan was curious. Yun Qingxu drank some water and thanked Xie Changji beside him. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke slowly, "They chased me because they thought I had the Demon Lord's Blood Order."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji looked at each other and didn't think it was too strange.

Yun Qingxu smiled bitterly and took out a piece of scrap iron from his arms: "This is it."

Hua Xiangwan reached out to take it, holding it in her hand and examining it carefully.

This is indeed the Demon Lord's Blood Order, and it even has the Demon Lord's aura on it. She looked up at Yun Qingxu and asked curiously, "Isn't this the Demon Lord's Blood Order? What do you think? What do they think?"

"Young Master Hua, you don't know," Yun Qingxu shook his head, "this is not the Demon Lord's Blood Order, it's a counterfeit."

"Fake?"

Hua Xiangwan was surprised. How could there be such a fake that looked so real?

"That's right," Yun Qingxu explained, "In fact, before coming to Yunsheng Town, I was going to deal with another matter. This matter originated from the theft of the Dao Sect's treasure, the Tracing Mirror, half a month ago."

"A tracing mirror?" Hua Xiangwan pondered. "Is it the legendary tracing mirror that can show the past of anything it shines on?"

"That's right," Yun Qingxu nodded, "This thief is very clever. After she stole the Tracing Mirror, she made a fake and placed it in the house. But a fake can't really be traced back, so it was soon discovered by our sect, and we sent disciples to track down the thief. We chased her for half a month before we found out her situation. Her real name is Gu Xing, and she is a weapon refiner in Yucheng Sect. I don't know when she got a magic weapon, which can make paintings come true, that is, whatever she draws, the objects in the painting will become real. Her cultivation is not high, but she always has wonderful ideas. With this magic weapon, she became very troublesome."

"What's the trouble?"

Hua Xiangwan became interested. Yun Qingxu raised his hand to support his forehead, as if distressed: "She would draw some monsters, such as a tiger in full armor, or an iron man who was invulnerable to swords and guns; sometimes she would draw an eggshell and lock us all inside; sometimes she would draw a door, and when you opened it, it was a cesspool; sometimes she would draw a rain of knives, with the world full of knives..."

"This is... interesting."

"She can just paint these things," Yun Qingxu said helplessly, "She can also freely enter and exit the painting, making her very difficult to catch. Every time I almost caught her, she would go into the painting and try to burn it, but after burning the painting, the tracing mirror was still on her, so it was burned along with it. All we could see was her eating and drinking in the painting, and she even painted in the painting. It felt like she could live in it for the rest of her life, and then if you weren't paying attention, she would draw a teleportation array and run away."

It was obvious that Yun Qingxu was almost driven to collapse by this painter.

"And what happened next?"

"Later, something happened in Yunsheng Town, so I volunteered to come here. Who would have thought that I would run into her again yesterday? I wanted to arrest her, but she suddenly threw this thing at me. Not long after, people from Mingluan Palace caught up with me, and no matter how I explained, she wouldn't listen."

"Then just give the item to them." Hua Xiangwan was curious, "It's a fake anyway."

"Although it's a fake, it's the only thing we've gotten from this painter so far," Yun Qingxu's thoughts were clear, "and we have to rely on it to catch up with her. She must have left all my fellow disciples behind now. If I don't catch up with her, the Tracing Light Mirror will never come back."

After hearing this, Hua Xiangwan nodded, thinking that what Yun Qingxu said made sense.

Seeing Yun Qingxu's sad face, she thought for a moment, and recalled the result she had checked with the Demon Lord's Blood Order in her hand in the morning, and suddenly explained in her heart.

This morning, she used the fragment of the Demon Lord's Blood Order to find the direction of the other fragments, and it turned out that the Demon Lord's Blood Order pointed to the direction under the jurisdiction of Hehuan Palace.

There's nothing wrong with this one, but the problem is that it has at least three hundred dots lit up.

In other words, there are at least three hundred blood orders in the direction of Hehuan Palace. Is this possible?

Is it possible that the Demon Lord crushed the Blood Order into particles and distributed them to everyone for them to find? A Blood Order is only slightly larger than a palm, how can it be divided into more than 300 pieces?

However, after listening to Yun Qingxu's words, she had an understanding in her heart. If this painter was holding the Demon Lord's Blood Order in her hand, and her power was given by the Blood Order, then she had painted more than 300 forgeries, and these forgeries all had the aura of the Demon Lord's Blood Order, so it was normal for them to be sensed by the piece in her hand.

She nodded, and looked at the blood order in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, I have an unwelcome request."

"Please speak, Senior."

"I want to chase this painter together with Fellow Daoist Yun."

After saying this, Xie Changji turned around and looked over. Yun Qingxu was stunned for a moment, and Hua Xiangwan smiled: "I will not hide it from you, Daoyou. We are here for the Demon Lord's Blood Order. Dao Zong must not be interested in this thing. So why don't we cooperate? I take the Blood Order, and Daoyou Yun takes the Tracing Light Mirror. How about that?"

Hearing this, Yun Qingxu was a little hesitant. Xie Changji lowered his eyes and looked at the blood order in Hua Xiangwan's hand. He seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.

He couldn't just say he could rob.

The little flower she gave him in his Qiankun bag was still blooming as before, and he lowered his eyes.

Yun Qingxu thought for a long time and finally said, "Senior, you saved me, which is a favor to me. Since you need me, if you don't mind, then let's capture Gu Ying together."

As he spoke, Yun Qingxu raised his head and smiled, "What are your names, seniors?"

"My name is Hua Xiangwan, and he is my..."

Hua Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, and Xie Changji took over the conversation: "I am her husband, and my Taoist name is Qingheng."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingxu's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at the two people in shock. After a pause, he nodded and said, "So it's Young Master Hua..." Yun Qingxu hesitated for a while before deciding on the title, "Lord Qingheng."

"With you two here," Yun Qingxu calmed down and said respectfully, "I feel relieved now."

Hua Xiangwan nodded, looked him up and down for a moment, and said, "You take a rest first, I'll go get ready, we'll set off after lunch. I'll keep this fake item here," Hua Xiangwan discussed with Yun Qingxu, "You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Yun Qingxu smiled bitterly.

But everyone present knew in their hearts that if Hua Xiangwan wanted to take it, there was nothing he could do.

"Okay," Hua Xiangwan stood up, "You take a rest first."

Hua Xiangwan then walked out with Xie Changji. She took the fake item and went to the guest room of the clinic. Xie Changji walked into the room and saw her extending her hand to him. He said familiarly, "Give me some spiritual power."

Xie Changji came forward, half-knelt down, and held her hand. She didn't realize that he was used to shaking hands to transfer spiritual energy. He lowered his head and took a tea tray, drew a magic circle on it, and muttered: "Go out and buy a car later and let Xiaobai pull it. He is in poor health and is not suitable for sword-wielding or riding a beast."

"I have some here."

When Xie Changji started talking, Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but look back at him, quite surprised: "Why do you have so much stuff in your pocket?"

"When you're out and about," Xie Changji explained, "you always have to be careful."

That's not being thorough, that's being rich.

Hua Xiangwan hid her complaints in her heart and lowered her head to draw a magic circle. Before, she used a blood order to find a blood order, this time she used a counterfeit to find someone.

The counterfeit was spinning in the tea tray formation, and after a moment, it pointed in a direction.

Hua Xiangwan smiled and said, "It's done."

Xie Changji looked up at her, and when he saw her smile, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He thought about it, and then remembered Yun Qingxu's hesitation: "What was Yun Qingxu hesitating about just now?"

"Um?"

Hua Xiangwan turned her head and asked: "When did you hesitate?"

"When he called me that."

Hua Xiangwan was reminded by him and then she remembered: "Oh, that's it, because according to the rules of the Western Territory, you should no longer be called by your original Taoist name after entering the Hehuan Palace."

Hearing this, Xie Changji frowned slightly: "But they keep calling me that."

"Because you have a high status and high cultivation, even though you are said to be the master of Hehuan Palace, no one dares to really regard you as a member of Hehuan Palace."

Hua Xiangwan spoke nonchalantly, picked up the tea tray that had been made into a hidden object finder, and walked out.

Xie Changji stood up, followed her, and continued to ask: "If I were Shen Xiuwen, what would they call me?"

"Call me as I say," Hua Xiangwan turned her head with a hint of slyness on her face, "Young Master."

Xie Changji's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Hua Xiangwan's playful eyes with a gentle look, and nodded gently: "Yeah."

Hua Xiangwan was startled by his response, but before she could think about it, Xie Changji reached out, took the "missing person instrument" from her hand, covered it with spiritual power, and walked out the door holding the missing person instrument in one hand and holding her in the other.

He took out a jade carriage from his Qiankun bag and put Xiaobai on it, and the Spirit Beast Jade Chariot was ready. Xie Changji then took her to the street to buy some things.

He seemed to know very well how to live this earthly life. He carefully selected the things he bought and brought back a lot of things. After putting them all in the carriage, he took Hua Xiangwan to pick up Yun Qingxu.

Yun Qingxu was already prepared, and the three of them had a quiet lunch together, then got on the carriage and followed the finder to the next town.

The three of them got on the carriage. Hua Xiangwan took the initiative to leave the bed for Yun Qingxu, the injured one. Yun Qingxu shook his head: "How can I be so embarrassed?"

As he said this, he pointed to the car frame outside and said, "I'll just drive. You two seniors can have a good rest."

"But you are injured..."

"Young Master," Yun Qingxu bowed his head, respectful but unwilling to be rejected, "I should be outside."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan understood what Yun Qingxu meant. She looked at him, couldn't help but smile, and nodded, "Okay, whatever you want."

As she spoke, she was helped by Xie Changji to get into the carriage. The two of them entered the carriage. Xie Changji set up a barrier so that they could hear what was happening outside, but people outside could not hear them.

Hua Xiangwan sat at her seat with a smile on her face. Xie Changji lowered his head to make tea and asked calmly, "What did he say to make you so happy?"

"I'm not happy, I just think it's interesting." Hua Xiangwan turned around and walked in front of Xie Changji. "Do you think he looks a bit like you?"

Xie Changji paused, Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment, stepped back, and pondered again: "But not really, he has a better temper than you. But it's just that he gets stubborn from time to time, which is very similar to you in the past."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and looked at the tea in the porcelain cup.

After a long while, he said softly, "Not like that."

There shouldn't be anyone like him.

The three of them followed the fake guide for three days, and the direction finally became stable.

The three of them looked at the plaque that read "Boundless City" and Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief: "This is it."

Yun Qingxu nodded and told the two men, "Gu Xing is very cunning. If you are not sure, you should not act rashly. If he runs away, it will be more difficult to catch him."

"If I take action..." Xie Changji raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qingxu.

Yun Qingxu shook his head: "My master is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and has already tried it. She is very cunning and it is not easy to succeed."

Xie Changji fell silent. It might be easy to kill him, but if he was to be captured alive, he would have many ways to escape.

Hua Xiangwan understood Yun Qingxu's concerns and nodded, "It's okay, let's go over and take a look at the situation first."

The three of them disguised themselves and entered the city. Following the directions of the fake blood order, they came to a pawnshop, where they saw a woman in red happily walking out of the pawnshop with a purse in her hand.

"That's her."

Yun Qingxu recognized Gu Xing as soon as he saw him and whispered, "She must be painting fakes to sell for money."

Maybe the more than 300 Demon Lord Blood Orders were used to sell for money.

Hua Xiangwan understood and nodded: "Follow me first."

The three people followed Gu Xing quietly. After following for a long time, the three people saw Gu Xing openly go to a place where a man was dressed in fancy clothes. A man raised his hand and held Gu Xing's hand. Gu Xing threw a spirit stone to the other party, and the man pulled her into the building.

The three of them stood in the alley and watched Gu Xing disappear. Yun Qingxu frowned and said, "Young Master Hua, what should we do now?"

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a man." Hua Xiangwan thought, "There is a most appropriate way."

"What method?" Yun Qingxu was curious.

Hua Xiangwan coughed lightly, as if a little embarrassed, and glanced at Xie Changji beside her.

Xie Changji did not respond, but quietly looked at the brothel not far away, as if he was observing something.

"We can send a good-looking man to approach her on purpose and drug her." Seeing that Xie Changji ignored her, Hua Xiangwan turned back to Yun Qingxu and told him her plan. "After she falls unconscious, we can capture her directly to prevent her from running away again."

Hearing this plan, Yun Qingxu frowned slightly: "Isn't this... a little... not fair enough?"

"You don't have to participate in this plan."

Seeing Yun Qingxu in trouble, Hua Xiangwan immediately said, "Wait until I tie her up, and I'll get the Mirror back for you."

"No," he thought about what Yun Qingxu said, "Since we are all working together, there is no reason to let the young master do all the bad things. There is really no better way now, but..."

Yun Qingxu hesitated: "She has seen me before..."

"So the beauty we are going to send out is not you."

Hua Xiangwan immediately resolved Yun Qingxu's worries, turned to look at Xie Changji who had been standing aside without responding, and coughed a few times.

Xie Changji heard the continuous coughing and finally turned around to look.

The two looked at each other, Hua Xiangwan blinked, and Xie Changji frowned slightly.

Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand, Hua Xiangwan walked up to him, raised her hands to smooth the wrinkles on his chest, and looked up at him as if he were a hero, full of trust: "Xie Changji, will you accompany me for drinks?"
