Chapter 29: Si Xiang City (I) It is truly unforgettable for him
On the wall, Zhu Ciying was dazzled by the papers of different sizes and colors.
She picked and chose, and finally chose a task that seemed very important and difficult.
"Are you sure this is the one?" Yu Chunyan asked.
Zhu Ciying nodded.
Yu Chunyan moved her fingers, and the paper detached from the wall and landed on the table.
She stamped the seal with "Zhi Xing Si" and handed it to Zhu Ciying, saying, "Junior sister, after you have resolved the matter according to the client's request, return to Shaoyang Sect and find me to destroy the task list."
"Yeah, I've got that in mind."
"Come, let me see what the task is?" Zhou Mingran obviously couldn't wait any longer.
Zhu Ciying handed her the task list and asked her to look at it herself.
"At this time, demons are wreaking havoc on the city. Their methods are cruel and beyond description. Women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two in the city are often captured and sacrificed by them. Their purpose and reason are unknown. I hope there are capable people in the sect who are willing to lend a hand and save the people from suffering."
Zhou Mingran read out the words word by word: "The location is in Sixiang City, Yuzhou."
Over the past hundred years, the world of cultivation has been dwindling in talent, while the demons and monsters have colluded with each other, secretly cultivating their power and becoming increasingly rampant.
"You think I'm bullying you because there's no one left in the cultivation world?" Zhou Mingran didn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. "Yingying, let's go now and meet these monsters."
Yu Chunyan warned, "Be careful! Yuzhou Sixiang City is full of tricks. Two cultivators from our sect have never returned since they accepted a mission there."
Zhu Ciying's heart immediately sounded an alarm. Judging from what her senior sister said, there must be a lot of tricks in this task list.
Zhou Mingran calmed himself down and suddenly thought of someone.
So, she asked Yu Chunyan, "Where's that guy Ji Feibai? Yingying has already returned from Penglai Island, and there's no sign of him. Could he have died out there?"
The two of them are used to bickering with each other on a daily basis, so whenever they mention each other, what they say is not very nice.
Yu Chunyan said solemnly, "Ji Feibai accepted a mission from Yuzhou Sixiang City, a mission to find someone. And the person he's looking for is none other than the Shaoyang Sect cultivator who went missing, named 'Xu Shuguan'."
Looking for someone...Xu Shuguan. Zhu Ciying remembered what Ji Feibai said before leaving. The price offered by the client was very high, a full 10 million spirit stones.
"Senior Sister, let's go look for Senior Brother Ji when we get to Sixiang City, right?"
Zhou Mingran scoffed: "Why look for him? It would be better if he died outside, so that he wouldn't come back to oppose me."
Zhu Ciying knew she was saying one thing and thinking another. After thanking Yu Chunyan again for her kind reminder, she pulled Zhou Mingran out of the Zhixing Division and said, "Okay, since Senior Sister agrees, let's go."
"Hmm... Hmm? What did I promise you to go find Ji Feibai? Well, Yingying, you actually dared to set a trap for Senior Sister..."
——Feijue Peak.
Master Yuyin carefully trimmed off a leaf from the orchid. He put down his scissors and looked up. "I've checked the seal. There's no sign of loosening or anything unusual."
"But I did hear his voice, and he was trying to tempt me to become possessed again," Zhu Ciying said.
"Perhaps it was just a fantasy inspired by your desire to survive before you died."
The congratulations were full of long eyelashes.
According to Master, if everything was her fantasy, then the senior brother who came to save her that day was also fake.
A hint of disappointment welled up in her heart. No wonder, since he looked so much like her senior brother, she had once firmly believed that he had come to rescue her.
"Disciple understands."
Zhu Ciying concealed her emotions and regained her former spirit: "Master, I have received a mission from the Zhixing Division and need to go to Yuzhou Sixiang City. Don't worry, I will accompany you."
Yu Yin Zhenren smiled and nodded: "Please pay more attention to your safety."
"yes."
Zhu Ciying left the room.
Senior sister was busy packing, but her things were still in the storage bag, so she didn't need to pack anything else.
When she had some free time, she took out the jade slip, and Qu Wanqing happened to send her a message.
[Qu Wanqing]: Junior Sister Yingying, when I was collecting my token at the Zhixing Division, I heard you accepted a mission from Yuzhou. Sixiang City is such a dangerous place, can you and Senior Sister Zhou handle it?
After spending some time together on Penglai Island, Zhu Ciying began to understand that there was something else behind her words.
[Zhu Ciying]: Senior sister, do you mean to say that you are worried that we don’t have enough strength and want to lend us a helping hand?
[Qu Wanqing]: Yes, yes, haha, the one who understands me best is Yingying!
[Qu Wanqing]: As the saying goes, one more person means more strength. I will bring Junior Brother Xu with me as well.
Xu Feihuai? Zhu Ciying paused, thinking that he probably wasn't the type to meddle in other people's affairs.
[Zhu Ciying]: Will he come?
[Qu Wanqing]: Of course. As you said before, we're a team, and it's our duty to help each other. Besides, he might appear aloof on the surface, but deep down he's always warm and welcoming to his friends.
Zhu Ciying was moved for a moment by her sincere words and replied: Okay, you all come together.
In the afternoon, when Qu Wanqing and Xu Feihuai arrived at the designated place to meet up, they brought with them someone that Zhu Ciying had not expected - Yun Bujin.
Qu Wanqing explained, "Senior Brother heard that we were going to Sixiang City and wanted to take a ride."
"I'm sorry for coming here without Junior Sister's permission," Yun Bujin said, bowing to Zhu Ciying. "I have a friend who went to Sixiang City and lost contact with me. I haven't been able to contact her since. I'm worried that something happened to her, so I wanted to go to Sixiang City to look for her."
Sixiang City, I can’t get in touch with you, what a coincidence?
Zhu Ciying asked him, "Is your friend called Xu Shuguan?"
Yun Bujin was stunned and asked, "How did Junior Sister know?"
"Senior Sister Yu told me," Zhu Ciying said, "Senior Brother Ji also disappeared after receiving a mission to find someone. The person he was looking for was none other than your friend Xu Shuguan."
Yun Bujin's heart was shaken, and then his brows furrowed tightly. "It seems that the situation in Sixiang City is not simple."
Qu Wanqing's curiosity peaked at this moment: "Come on, let's go to Sixiang City and turn it upside down to see what's going on."
Zhu Ciying stopped her from getting on the flying boat and said, "Including Senior Brother Ji and Senior Sister Xu, there are eight of us in total. A flying boat only has six rooms, which is not enough for us. Fortunately, we still have the flying boat that Uncle Yu gave us, so we can take two flying boats."
Zhou Mingran came over, hooked his arm around theirs, and said, "Yingying is so thoughtful. We girls will be in a group of one flying boat, and you will be in a group of three."
It was a very reasonable arrangement. The six people each boarded the flying boat and set off one after another.
On the fifth day, the flying boat arrived in Yuzhou.
——Four Elephants City.
After getting off the flying boat, Qu Wanqing took Zhu Ciying's arm and whispered in her ear, "You said before that Senior Brother Jiang had a strange temper, but after spending some time with him recently, I feel that he has a very gentle temperament and is very polite in his dealings with others."
"Besides, he used to wear a mask all the time, and I thought he had a facial scar he didn't want to show. Now that I see him, he's clearly handsome and elegant, but the strange thing is that after just one glance, I can't remember his face at all."
Zhu Ci frowned and his heart skipped a beat.
When Xie Rangchen took off the Qilin mask and returned it to Zhou Mingran, he repeatedly assured him that he had cast a spell on his face and would not show his true face to anyone, and that anyone who had seen his face would not remember what he looked like.
But this magic was ineffective against Zhu Ciying, Zhou Mingran, Yuyin Zhenren and Lingniao, because they had seen Xie Rangchen's face and had already determined what he looked like.
Zhu Ciying looked up at Yun Bujin. As Xie Rangchen's senior brother, they must have met and talked a few times, but he didn't recognize Xie Rangchen at all.
Then... now that Xie Rangchen has recovered his spiritual roots and spiritual power, what level has his cultivation reached?
Fusion period?
Or it could be the Dharma Image Period.
Zhu Ciying is unpredictable.
She vaguely felt that with him in charge of the rear, the trip to Sixiang City would be safe.
She continued to follow her fellow disciples and walked into the most prosperous street in Sixiang City.
The Sixiang City is surrounded by mountains and was originally one of the poor areas of the Thirty-Four States. Since the passage of flying cars and flying boats, the area has become a commercial capital overnight, with all kinds of shops springing up everywhere and business is booming.
Zhou Mingran and Qu Wanqing were dazzled by the sight, their eyes shining, unable to restrain their urge to spend, and rushed into the store.
Xu Feihuai said nothing about this, his mentality was surprisingly calm. He took the initiative to shoulder the burden of finding a hotel.
Yun Bujin looked serious and kept looking at his jade slip, as if waiting for Xu Shuguan's reply.
The store is located near the snack street. The aroma of various foods mixed together makes the spirit bird itchy. Its foodie nature is completely unleashed. Zhu Ciying follows it and buys things for it along the way to satisfy its cravings.
She bought herself a bunch of grilled mushrooms, generously sprinkled with cumin and chili peppers.
One bite, and the oily, spicy flavor filled my mouth. It was delicious. Zhu Ciying squinted her eyes in comfort.
"Oh." Xie Rangchen sighed softly.
Zhu Ciying swallowed the mushroom and asked, "Brother, why are you sighing? Are you having trouble repairing the jade flute? Just ask, I'll definitely help if I can."
He shook his head, his voice filled with helplessness: "People in Yuzhou like spicy food, but I can't handle spicy food."
"Actually, spicy food becomes more delicious the more you eat it. Try it a little at a time, and you'll get used to it after a few times." Zhu Ciying said, "Brother, I forgot to ask you these days. How much do you remember about the past?"
When the past was suddenly mentioned, Xie Rangchen's mind went blank and he subconsciously said, "No."
"I see..."
We will have to find a way to cure his amnesia in the future.
As Zhu Ciying was thinking this, her sleeve was suddenly tugged by a small hand.
Zhu Ciying lowered her eyes and saw a little girl with two buns, big grape-like eyes and thick bangs.
"Beautiful sister." She called Zhu Ciying and pointed to her own stall. "Those are the shoes made by my grandma. They are very beautiful. Would you like to buy a pair, beautiful sister?"
Zhu Ciying looked at her short sleeves and old-fashioned clothes and walked towards the stall.
Just as she said, Apona's shoes not only have good color matching, but also unique patterns.
only……
Seeing her staring at the shoes without blinking, the child rolled his eyes cleverly: "Beautiful sister, do you like them?"
"dislike."
"Huh?" The little girl was stunned. This was the first time she heard someone say they didn't like the old lady's shoes.
"Sorry, these shoes are very nice." Zhu Ciying looked away and took out a bag of spirit stones for her. "It's just for my personal reasons. Your grandma is old, please take good care of her."
"Brother, it's getting late. Let's go meet up with Senior Sister and the others."
She turned around and left without looking back, which looked like she was running away in Xie Rangchen's eyes.
Before leaving, he took two more glances at the pair of embroidered shoes that Zhu Ciying picked up and put down.
At just one glance, Xie Rangchen recognized that his junior sister Aying also had a pair of shoes exactly the same as it.
In fact, she was wearing this pair of embroidered shoes when she died in his arms.
Xie Rangchen closed his eyes.
It was truly an unforgettable experience for him.
