Chapter 68 Waiting for a Lonely Rabbit
A dilapidated temple in the suburbs.
Hua Zao put Bai Xiaoxiao from the top of his head to the ground, shook his tail twice and it turned back to normal size. Bai Xiaoxiao covered her chest and calmed her breathing. Although she still felt a little dizzy and her legs were weak after standing on the high place, it was much better than before.
One day, she will be able to learn to fly with a sword.
She reached out and stroked Huazao's head, then took out a bag of pine cones and threw them to it. Huazao held them with his two paws, rubbed her fingertips happily, and then flashed back to the mustard seed space.
"Host, what are you doing here?"
666 looked at the dilapidated surroundings of the ancient temple, feeling quite puzzled.
Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the ground and said in an enigmatic manner, imitating Qi Rong's expression, "Wait."
666:?
666: 'Waiting for what?'
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and started meditating to practice.
The ice-blue and light-green halos began to swirl around Bai Xiaoxiao. Although he had been busy with Que Tianwen's affairs these days, he had never stopped practicing. However, just as Master Qingli had said at the beginning, practicing two spiritual roots at the same time would greatly consume spiritual energy, thus causing his practice to stagnate.
But fortunately...
The master gave her a virtual spirit bead that could hold spiritual essence, which could temporarily make up for her shortcomings.
Bai Xiaoxiao took out a golden bead, turned it with her fingertips, and ice blue and light green halos immediately wrapped around the bead, intertwining with the crude and ancient Sanskrit words that burst out from the bead.
666 had already left with great tact.
There was no one else here, so she could practice in peace for a while.
But then again, Qingli was too secretive in giving her the magic weapon. He actually put the treasure directly into her sea of consciousness without saying a word.
Why...
It can’t be because of the three senior brothers, right?
By the time Bai Xiaoxiao had completely absorbed the spiritual essence from the Xu Lingzhu, the sky outside the temple had already darkened. Perhaps because of the extraction of the spiritual essence, the orb that was glowing with golden light had become somewhat dim.
It seems that when she has time, she will have to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to replenish the energy of the spirit beads and use it as resources.
"Host, have you finished your training?"
The voice of 666 came again at the right time.
Bai Xiaoxiao held her chin up and said, "You're quite considerate of me for not disturbing my practice."
666 said with some pride: "Of course, our service tenet is to do our utmost to give every host ample room to develop their talents."
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted softly.
"Then host, how do we find Que Tianwen?"
"Do you know where to find Que Tianwen?"
"I don't know..."
"Wait, wait and see is the best option."
666 was about to say something else, but Bai Xiaoxiao quickly made a gesture to silence it. A rustling sound of footsteps was heard outside the ancient temple, and the man slowly approached. Bai Xiaoxiao looked over in the moonlight. He was wearing simple clothes and carrying a bamboo basket. It was none other than Duan Shusheng whom she met yesterday.
"My name is Duan, and I'm a candidate going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Now that it's getting late, I'm thinking of staying overnight in the ancient temple. Please forgive me if I'm bothering you."
Duan Shusheng seemed to have not expected that there was someone in the ancient temple, so he hurriedly bowed and explained his purpose.
But, he seemed not to remember her.
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes swept over Duan Shusheng: "You, don't recognize me?"
Duan Shusheng was stunned, as if he hadn't expected Bai Xiaoxiao to ask him this. The doubt in his eyes didn't seem fake. He scratched his head and said uncertainly, "I don't understand what you mean, young lady. A fairy-like figure like you, even if you only meet once, you will never forget it. Ah, no... I didn't mean to offend you."
As he spoke, he lowered his head shyly and embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, sir. I recognized the wrong person."
Bai Xiaoxiao observed that his expression was indeed as awkward and distant as when they first met, so she continued speaking.
Scholar Duan seemed to be relieved. He did not ask Bai Xiaoxiao why she was alone in the dilapidated temple. He put down the bamboo basket, took out the book, and began to read it carefully.
'Host. '
666's voice came out again: "Even if you want to have a tryst... can you wait until you find Que Tianwen?"
"I'm making fun of you. If you understand, just watch. If you don't understand, get out." Bai Xiaoxiao retorted without any hesitation.
666 didn't know whether to refute that it actually had a very high IQ or to explain that it didn't have any eggs at all.
The best time for a dispute is often the first three seconds. Once the time is up, even the strongest momentum will vanish. However, it was obvious that 666 did not understand this principle, so after it fell silent, Bai Xiaoxiao impatiently dismissed it.
Bai Xiaoxiao sat back and looked at Duan Shusheng.
It was obvious from Chuchu's previous conversation that she and this Duan might be a pair of infatuated lovers. Otherwise, given Chuchu's delicate appearance, she wouldn't be so angry.
have no idea,
What a story they have.
Bai Xiaoxiao closed her eyes. Chuchu only came to meet her lover near dawn yesterday. Now, she could only wait.
But the night grew darker and darker, and Chuchu still did not appear.
Even Duan Shusheng, who was reading, seemed to sense that something was wrong and kept looking outside the ancient temple.
"Brother Duan."
Bai Xiaoxiao called him, causing Duan Shusheng to drop the book he was holding to the ground.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
"What are you looking at?"
Bai Xiaoxiao asked directly, leaving Duan Shusheng stunned.
He stared at the dusty book that had fallen to the ground, picked it up hesitantly, and brushed off the dust with his sleeve. "I don't know either..." His gaze was fixed on the outside of the ancient temple. "I just feel very panicked, as if something big is going to happen, but I don't know what it is, I..."
He paused, his voice very soft and gentle: "I seem to... want to see someone."
Bai Xiaoxiao tilted her head: "Do you know Chuchu?"
"neat?"
There was doubt in Duan Shusheng's eyes, but then his breathing became more rapid and his heart felt very dry. He didn't understand what state he was in, but there was a voice in his mind that kept urging him to see her, to see her, and to must see her.
"Go find her?"
Bai Xiaoxiao walked over and directly invited Duan Shusheng.
Duan Shusheng didn't even think about it and said, "Okay."
The two of them walked into the dense forest.
It is cloudy today and there are no stars hanging in the sky.
The lush treetops made the surroundings dim, and Bai Xiaoxiao held up a small lamp decorated with night pearls to illuminate the surroundings.
She followed Duan Shusheng, wherever he went, she followed.
Soon, they came to the depths of the dense forest.
"Look there!"
Duan Shusheng suddenly exclaimed.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised the lamp and looked over, and saw a huge, inky black cocoon floating in the air, with strands of black threads wrapped around the treetops, sucking the life essence of nature.
