Chapter 575 Xuanwei
The snow feather lay quietly in Yun Qingqing's hand, like a long pure white feather coiled in a ring.
There was a faint glow on it, light and dark intertwined like breathing, and the spiritual charm flowed slowly.
Since the last time Hao Qing chose a master in Fahua Temple, Xue Ling was awakened once, but then fell into a deep sleep again and has not woken up until now.
Yun Qingqing tried to communicate with the spirit of the weapon, but it still did not respond.
Xue Ling was a magical treasure of immortal quality that she had obtained by chance in a secret place in her previous life. It was the only one of its kind in the world.
However, Master Jingxin of Fahua Temple said that Xueling and Haoqing are a couple.
The last time Xue Ling woke up briefly, Yun Qingqing only sensed the name "Hao Qing" and had no chance to confirm with it whether this statement was true.
If so, it means Hao Qing has also reached the immortal level.
Yun Qingqing's gaze fell on Xiao Changheng's wrist. Both spiritual treasures were white, but the materials were actually different, and the colors were also slightly different.
The white color of the snow collar is like the first snow under the sun, pure and flawless with the warmth of the sun.
Haoqing's color is light and cold. Looking closely at its material, color and shape, it is better to say that... it is very similar to the pure white jade tree at the bottom of Xiao Changheng's consciousness!
But its leaves had shrunk a lot, as had the small flower on the top of the branch. Yun Qingqing looked carefully and confirmed that it was the same flower that had fallen from the jade tree into her hand before.
Yun Qingqing was not too surprised. If Hao Qing really used the jade tree as the material to refine it, then it would not be surprising that it was a fairy-grade spiritual treasure.
She looked at Xiao Changheng and asked:
"Can you communicate with Haoqing's spirit now? Can you ask it what its connection is with Xueling?"
Since you can't guess, why not ask the person involved directly?
Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes and stared at Hao Qing for a moment, a little bewildered:
"I can sense how to use it, but I can't seem to talk to it."
"Unable to communicate?"
Yun Qingqing was a little surprised.
She pondered for a moment, then picked up the snow feather and gently touched Hao Qing.
After waiting for a while without any response, Yun Qingqing could only sigh and put away Xue Ling. It seemed that awakening these two spiritual treasures would require further planning.
"...won't you try another method?"
Seeing that she gave up, Xiao Changheng asked.
"No need." Yun Qingqing said, "Immortal spiritual treasures won't fall into a deep sleep for no reason. I think the time has not come yet. Let's wait and see."
Yun Qingqing glanced at the sky and stood up.
"The battle between Xilan and Beicang has been decided. There won't be any more activity in the short term. Do you want to return to the Imperial Capital?"
Xiao Changheng also stood up and nodded:
"I'll leave once I've made the arrangements."
"It just so happens that I have something else to say, so why not arrange it all at once?" Yun Qingqing said again, taking out a scroll and handing it to him.
Xiao Changheng took it, opened it, and read the contents. He was slightly stunned:
"Xuanwei?"
Yun Qingqing nodded and said in a deep voice:
"In fact, before the spiritual energy began to dry up, although the Xuanmen often entered the world to gain experience, there was an unwritten rule that they would never interfere in mortal warfare. If they violated the rules, they would be killed by the major gatekeepers and anyone could kill them."
"But now the Xuan Sect is gradually declining. Instead, some evil sects have begun to use extraordinary methods to intervene in mortal wars for their own selfish interests, slaughtering people thousands of miles away at will."
"Like the evil Cang Ming who appeared in the previous battle in the northwest, and Qiu Tong who was possessed by a fierce ghost this time... Such incidents may not be impossible to repeat in the future."
Xiao Changheng knew that she was right, so his expression turned serious and he continued to read the contents of the scroll.
Yun Qingqing said seriously:
"If we just wait until something happens before rushing to solve it, we will not only be passive, but there will always be a time when it is too late."
"So I plan to establish a special team, all members of which are true Xuanmen people. This is half of what I can arrange, and the other half is up to you to decide."
Xiao Changheng understood:
"As long as each garrison is equipped with a team of 'Xuanwei' according to its size, it can be deployed immediately in the event of an emergency... Excellent!"
Yun Qingqing nodded and added:
"In addition, the true identity and function of the Xuanwei must be kept top secret. They can usually disguise themselves as elite soldiers directly under your command and operate independently in separate battalions."
"This will prevent those practitioners with ill intentions from being on guard and secretly targeting the Xuanwei, or from upgrading the scale of the Xuanshu, which would cause unpredictable consequences."
Xiao Changheng made a prompt decision:
"Okay, that's settled. I'll arrange it right away."
He immediately summoned Nan Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Liangyan garrison, and several trusted lieutenants, and arranged what he had just said. He also specially assigned an officer to the Xuanwei team to be responsible for coordinating the reorganization of the Xuanmen master team.
Yun Qingqing brought a few people to a secluded backyard and drew a teleportation array on the ground. A flash of light appeared, and more than 20 Xuanmen disciples walked out of the array.
This was something she had arranged with the various forces under her command a few days ago, asking them to each send out a few teams of young disciples with good strength, which would also serve as an opportunity for them to go down the mountain for training, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing more than twenty people emerging from the formation on the ground out of thin air, the commander of Liangyan City and his confidants almost popped their eyes out.
Only then did they realize that the "special team" that the Regent had mentioned was actually so special.
With the prince and princess's experience of suppressing evil spirits, these generals immediately understood the importance of "Xuanwei" and obeyed the order without saying a word.
This group mainly consisted of twenty disciples from the Seven Stars Hall, led by Yuan Si, a direct disciple of Elder Tianshu.
There were also several other disciples, who were representatives sent by Tianxuan Sect, Shuihua Sect, and Yixian Valley.
Yun Qingqing gathered Yuan Si and representatives from various factions in front of him, explained the organization of the Xuanwei to them in detail, and handed them a list of garrisons in various places, allowing them to allocate them themselves, with each sect only needing to claim a certain number of garrisons.
Among them, the most special one is the Medical Immortal Valley, because the disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley specialize in medical skills and have little combat power, but they are indispensable auxiliary personnel.
Therefore, Yun Qingqing’s requirement is that each Xuanwei team should be equipped with disciples from the Medical Immortal Valley at a ratio of one to ten, so as to ensure that casualties are minimized as much as possible in the event of an accident.
While Yun Qingqing was making arrangements, Xiao Changheng quickly wrote several secret letters and sent them to the commanders of the garrisons under his command in various places, asking them to coordinate and cooperate.
After dealing with these things, the sun had already set.
Xiao Changheng glanced at the sky, then turned to look at Yun Qingqing:
"It's getting late today. Why don't you have dinner and rest for the night before returning to the Imperial Capital tomorrow?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.
Xiao Changheng rarely saw her hesitant like this, and couldn't help but ask:
"Why? Is there something urgent that you need to rush back for?"
Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes and shook her head, her voice a little soft:
"I've never been to the Imperial Capital's Lantern Festival. I want to go back and see it."
Xiao Changheng then remembered that the first month of the lunar year was already halfway through and today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
His black eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise:
"You...want to visit the Lantern Festival?"
It was no wonder that he felt surprised. Ever since he had known Yun Qingqing, whenever she had free time, she was either practicing or on the way to practice. Whenever she was not practicing, she must be solving some problem again.
Xiao Changheng had almost never seen her show any interest in worldly matters.
When Yun Qingqing mentioned the Lantern Festival, a scene almost subconsciously appeared in Xiao Changheng's mind -
A fairy-like girl was walking through the bustling streets with a lantern in her hand. She turned back unexpectedly, her bright eyes reflecting the lights of the first month of the year, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
Yun Qingqing didn't get a response, so she looked up and saw the man staring at her with an unfathomable look.
She secretly clenched her fingers, took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said calmly:
"If you have something to do, just stay and take care of it. I can go back by myself."
Having said that, she turned around without hesitation and strode into the yard to prepare the teleportation array.
The girl's cold voice was carried by the wind into Xiao Changheng's ears:
"I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Xiao Changheng came back to his senses, his eyebrows curved slightly, and he followed with big strides.
Yun Qingqing had just taken out the Dawn Breaker and was about to draw the formation when she paused and looked back at him:
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Changheng held down her sword-holding hand and curled his lips calmly:
"Who said I won't go back? According to the tradition of previous years, we have to visit the Lantern Festival. If you want to go, it's perfect for us to go together."
Yun Qingqing's eyes lit up slightly, and she turned back with her lips pressed down:
"...Oh, then let me go. I'm going to set up the formation."
Xiao Changheng pressed her hand again and whispered in her ear:
"I've seen this formation many times. Why don't you... let me try it?"
