Chapter 209 Epilogue: Immortal Image (I) (Inverted V) [Nothing...
"Why not buy it? Carrying this with you can bless us with a safe journey!"
"That's not possible! If you really like it, you have to pay for it yourself!"
"Okay, then I'll buy them myself. I'll buy this lotus, this water drop, this bird, this little man, and... Hey, Miss He, come and take a look. Are there any styles you like?"
"Humph, you only pick useless things like this."
"How can it be useless? It's for keeping you safe, Miss Tang. It works!"
"Huh? Are you picking out ornaments?" He Yuezhe walked over.
Tang Xiqin stood aside with her arms folded across her chest. Although she said some words of disgust, she did not continue to stop Ban Weile.
Ban Weile was standing in front of a table filled with scattered ornaments, choosing them with great interest.
Hearing this, he immediately turned around, holding a moon in his hand, and greeted He Yuezhe with a smile: "Miss He, look, do you like this moon?"
"Uh..." He Yuezhe was about to say that there was a rabbit hanging on his dagger, but was interrupted by Ban Weile.
"Miss He, this is just a little thing. It's okay if you don't want to carry it with you. Just put it in your bag as a way to keep yourself safe!" Ban Weile said with a smile. "Besides, since this is our first meeting, none of us have had time to prepare a gift for you yet. Miss He, will you accept this little thing?"
"Okay." He Yuezhe had no intention of rejecting him. He nodded immediately and carefully took the moon. "Thank you."
"No need to be so polite!" Ban Weile said, "Miss He, let's go. Xiao Shu and the others should be almost in by now!"
"Come in? Aren't they going to buy some necessities for the journey?" He Yuezhe wiped the moon pendant carefully and put it into his clothes carefully. Hearing this, he asked in confusion.
Adding some small items they had picked out earlier, the three of them paid and walked out of the grocery store.
"Xiao Shu, hey, Xiao Shu is a little unrestrained when it comes to buying things. I asked Yuan Yang to go with her so that he can help keep an eye on her." Tang Xiqin held her forehead.
"Yes, Xiaoshu always buys several carts of things every time! But it's all her own money. I can take care of the food, and you can give the things you need to Brother Yuan. Miss Tang has a way to deal with the rest. There is never any waste!" Ban Weile scratched his head while holding the bag filled with those little gadgets. "Miss He, I think I said a little too much, but you must not misunderstand Xiaoshu!"
"Of course not." He Yuezhe shook his head and replied.
"That's good!" Ban Weile smiled.
The streets in the water town are planned in an orderly manner, especially the market area. A small market can occupy three or four streets.
He Yuezhe walked beside Tang Xiqin, and the two followed Ban Weile, asking for directions while walking in a certain direction.
"Ms. He." Tang Xiqin suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" He Yuezhe turned his head to look at her.
"Although you are Shi Lian, and you were once an immortal, for us, we will be the ones accompanying each other for a long time to come. I still want to ask you, can we..."
"Um?"
"Can we be friends?!"
"sure."
“…”
"Miss Tang?"
"No, nothing!" Tang Xiqin shook her head violently. "Nothing, nothing. Since we're friends, I'll give Miss He some gifts too!"
"Oh, oh, okay..."
"This, this, and this. There's medicine for external injuries, internal injuries, colds, and more. In short, we have all kinds of medicine. Take them and use them slowly!!!"
"Hey." He Yuezhe was frightened when Tang Xiqin suddenly stuffed a large bundle into her arms. She screamed, "So much."
"How can this be too much...Okay, Miss He, let's go. Let me help you get these things."
Tang Xiqin took the bag from He Yuezhe's arms, put it on her back, and walked forward.
"Thank you." He Yuezhe trotted a few steps to catch up with her and thanked her.
"You're welcome." Tang Xiqin muttered softly.
"Miss Tang, you said..."
"Hey, Miss Tang and Miss He, look at this sesame seed bun, doesn't it look delicious?!"
"Hungry?"
"No, no, no, I'm greedy!"
"I want to eat too."
"That……?"
"Since Miss He wants one, I want one too."
"Then, boss, please give me five sesame cakes, thank you!"
"Okay, five big, fragrant pancakes, here they come—"
“It’s delicious…”
"Yeah, I knew it, this pancake smells delicious! Brother Yuan, don't just look at it, try it too!"
"Mmm. Delicious."
"Hehe, my vision is still pretty good!"
"I don't know who treated us to a meal a few days ago..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Miss Tang, please be merciful and forgive me! Let's not talk about that matter again!!!"
"What's going on?"
"...Uh, oh, Miss He, it's, it's, it's, it's on the way back to the water town, we passed by an inn, but, who would have thought of them..."
Human flesh? Fingernails? Bones? Or something even stranger? Countless speculations flashed through He Yuezhe's mind.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore." Tang Xiqin waved her hand, interrupting Ban Weile's mysterious words. "Now that everything is almost ready and we have the horses, let's set off now."
"Well, has everyone packed up their things? If not, I have more here." Chen Shu was carrying a large bag, and the horse she was leading also had several large bags hanging on it.
"Everything is packed!" Ban Weile patted the bag on his back and said, "Xiao Shu, you and Brother Yuan prepared so much. There are also the horses prepared by Miss Tang and the route planned by Miss He. I had no choice but to buy some food for everyone, as well as these small pendants."
"Come here, that's perfect, Xiao Shu, one for you and one for Brother Yuan!" Ban Weile handed the water drop and bird-shaped pendants to Chen Shu and Yuan Yang respectively.
"Thank you, Brother Ban." Chen Shuo smiled and took the water drop pendant and hung it on his belt.
"Thank you, Brother Ban." Yuan Yang curled his lips for once, took the bird pendant and hung it on his belt.
"Okay, follow the route on the map, Miss He, our first stop is Baiyujing, right?" Tang Xiqin asked, holding the map and leaning next to He Yuezhe.
"Yes, but Baiyujing is not where the immortal statue is."
"So where are we going?"
"Go see one of my..."
"friend."

The five people greeted Shi Jiyu and Shi Jihuai. Shi Jiyu simply said that Awu was out for a trip, and the four people who didn't know the truth thought so.
Finally, they went to visit Shi Lian's temple, and then without stopping, they left the water town and drove towards Baiyujing.
He Yuezhe didn't know how she learned to ride a horse. After all, she had never come into contact with such a creature as a "horse".
His body controlled the horse naturally and skillfully, and He Yuezhe did not dare to make any unnecessary movements, for fear that something might go wrong and he would be thrown off the horse.
"Miss He, haven't you ridden a horse much before?" The few of them were moving slowly. Chen Shuo seemed to have noticed her stiffness and rode his horse to He Yuezhe's side.
"No, well, it's not like I haven't ridden it before. Probably, I've ridden it a few times." He Yuezhe answered vaguely.
Suddenly, there was a throbbing pain in his head. He Yuezhe didn't want Chen Shu to notice anything unusual, so he had to force a smile.
"Oh, I see..." Chen Shu nodded, then asked worriedly, "But I think Miss He doesn't look well. Is she feeling unwell? We can take a break first."
"You can't stay"
“…”
"Miss He?"
"You can't stop"
"Miss He!"
"We must move forward, even if we lose everything, even if we have nothing, we must move forward"
"Don't look back, even if your body is broken, even if your memory is blank, don't look back"
“…I’m fine!”
"Remember"
"That's good..."
"Remember!!!"
"Miss He, although... there's no although. Anyway, if you really feel uncomfortable, just tell us. We'll be with you on this mission anyway. You can rest if you want, and leave if you want."
Tang Xiqin also slowed down, rode her horse to He Yuezhe's side, and said with her head tilted down, "I'm not concerned about you, I'm just worried that the mission won't be completed. Don't think too much!"
"Well, thank you Miss Tang for your concern." He Yuezhe smiled at her.
"By the way, Miss He, it will take a full day and a half to get from the water town to Baiyujing even if we ride a horse. We may need to find a place to rest on the way." Yuan Yang said behind the few people, holding a map in one hand.
"As long as we don't go to the previous inn, I'm fine anywhere!" Ban Wei Le, who was at the front, turned around and shouted, "Even if it means being a savage!"
"Master Ban, if you want to be a savage, just say so." Tang Xiqin rolled her eyes at him. "But I think the inn we were in before, although its safety is uncertain, is just enough to stay for one night."
"That's right, that inn is..."
Before Yuan Yang could finish his words, Ban Wei Le immediately screamed, "No!!"
"Why?" Tang Xiqin asked in confusion.
“I just don’t want it!!”
"It's one room per person anyway, so what?"
“That’s not okay either!!”
"Why on earth is that?"
“I just can’t! That’s too scary! I don’t want to go through that scary situation again…!”
"What's so scary about that? They clearly told us what was in the dishes when they were served. The names on the menu were a bit strange, but they were marked with symbols. It was us who didn't understand."
"Oh, Miss Tang..."
"Anyway, we didn't eat in the end. We stayed overnight and nothing happened. Master Ban, what are you worried about?"
"...But Miss Tang, I'm really scared. What are all those torture instruments in that room?! If someone breaks into the room and uses them to torture me, wouldn't I be a hero dying young?!"
"Torture instruments?!"
"Hey, it seems to be that inn?"
"Well, we're here. If you want to stay, let's stop here."
"good."
"No no no no no no! I really can't go! Really, really!"
"Ban Wei Le, could you first explain to me what 'torture instruments' mean?"
"Uh, well, it's just that..."
Looking at the magnificent inn built in the wilderness, He Yuezhe immediately saw the big sign hanging on it.
——[Nothing Inn]
"Ban Weile, it's just an ordinary inn. At most, there are some weird foods, but torture instruments, are you serious?" Tang Xiqin frowned.
"Of course! I, I don't know why, but my room is full of all kinds of torture instruments, and there are only a few candles. It's like a murder scene!"
“…”
“…”
"Hmph, if you don't go in today, just wait for us to treat you well with those torture instruments!"
“No no no—don’t ahh ...
