Chapter 61 Chapter 61 The sun is still shining brightly in the morning...
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, but before noon, dark clouds rolled in and strong winds howled.
The strong wind overturned stalls, uprooted trees, and passeders-by were swept up by the wind, uttering miserable cries.
"How could this happen?" Li Yian's face looked grim as he looked at these tragic scenes. He wanted to stop it but was powerless to do anything.
Mu Yang walked up to her, his face pale.
"Because the Wind God Baihe is severely injured, the wind is uncontrollable. The closer we get to the Wind God's habitat, the more bizarre the wind becomes. We must return the Wind God to his habitat as soon as possible. We must set out now."
He held the Cicada Shadow Shield out of the window and shouted, "Get up!"
I saw the Cicada Shadow Shield fly into the air and expand at an extremely fast speed until it covered the entire town.
As the umbrella fully unfolded, a soft halo of light suddenly blossomed from its edge, spreading outward like a wave. Wherever the halo passed, the air became stagnant, and the hurricane's force subsided.
After a while, the town that was hit by the hurricane returned to peace.
Li Yian looked at Mu Yang beside him with some surprise.
He was growing up faster than she had imagined.
At that moment, the elusive Li Xuan appeared on the rooftop opposite. He tossed the unconscious Li Xia to Li Yian with one hand and said calmly, "I'll give it back to you."
Li Yian caught her.
Although it was troublesome to travel with a sleeping person, Li Yian had gotten used to it.
It’s better for her to fall asleep, just don’t bother her all the way.
She tucked Li Xia under her armpit and was about to turn around and leave when she heard Mu Yang say, "Cousin, you and the little princess stay in the inn, and Li Xuan and I will go.
After settling Bai He down, let's continue with the rest of the topic, okay?"
Li Yian's expression was a little upset. He didn't want her to go to the front line, but she wanted to continue chatting with him?
What is there to talk about? It would be better to let her run around the hill ten times than to have an awkward chat.
But when she saw the life lock on her wrist, she hesitated for a moment, but finally softened her heart and nodded randomly.
----------------
"Where's Mu Yang!" Li Xia's scream echoed throughout the inn.
"Brother San Wang is too much! He actually knocked me out! I want to go too!"
Li Yian sat on the beam and used her sword to open the teacup that Li Xia threw at her, pretending not to hear her noise.
"Take me there! Don't pretend you can't hear me!"
Li Yian looked at the sky outside. It was almost dusk. The inn was only half a day's journey from the habitat. They had set out in the morning, so they should have returned by then.
Li Yian stood up, jumped down, packed his things, and said to Li Xia, "I can take you there, but don't cause me any trouble."
Li Xia's eyebrows were originally raised, but she suddenly smiled happily.
The town was in ruins after the hurricane.
Li Yian walked in front with a sword in his arms and luggage on his back, while Li Xia lagged behind and was almost tripped by fallen trees and broken debris several times.
Li Xia, who had originally promised not to cause trouble, started clamoring for Li Yian to carry her on his back.
Li Yian felt a buzzing in his ears and wanted to knock her out like Li Xuan did.
She turned around and glared at her, "Quiet, come here!"
Li Xia quickly jumped onto Li Yian's back. In order to prevent her from buzzing in her ears again, Li Yian pressed her mute point when she wasn't paying attention, and Li Xia finally shut up.
Soon a group of children blocked Li Yian's way.
They were all disheveled and surrounded her, refusing to let her leave, and clamoring for food and money.
"I haven't eaten in ages! Please!"
If it was a group of men with knives, Li Yian would knock them down with one punch without blinking an eye.
But these were a group of weak children, so she stopped in embarrassment, and with her free hand she fumbled around her waist, then fumbled around the lining of her sleeves, and even searched Li Xia's body, but she couldn't find a penny.
The wallets are all with Mu Yang!
Her face suddenly became unnatural, and she said with a tense face, "I don't have any money."
"Where's the dry food? There's none, too?"
Although Li Yian was anxious, he still looked through Li Xia's bag again. There was nothing there except some spare clothes.
"No."
She said this coldly and was about to leave, but a group of children hugged her thighs and made a lot of noise.
She held the hilt of the sword at her waist with her right hand, feeling embarrassed and anxious, but she couldn't draw the sword.
Mu Yang and his men had been taking the white crane to its habitat for so long and hadn't returned. She was afraid something might have happened, so one more person would mean more help, so she needed to rush over to help.
"I have some money here. Come here and everyone will get a share."
As a clear voice rang out, the group of children who were pestering her rushed towards the source of the voice.
Li Yian looked towards the source of the sound and saw several people in white clothes. The leader was a man in his early twenties with a delicate face, a pair of upturned almond-shaped eyes, and lazy long curly hair.
It was Qiu Sheng.
Li Yian quickly turned his face to the other side and walked forward pretending nothing had happened.
"Li Yian."
The voice like a clear spring called her.
After Qiu Sheng shared the food in his hand with one of the children, he stood up and shouted to the indifferent woman, "My name is Qiu Sheng, I am Cheng Qiu's friend, and I have no ill intentions."
When she heard "Cheng Qiu", she paused.
"Are you going to the abode of the wind god? We have a carriage here that can take you there."
Li Xia on his back was struggling frantically, and Li Yian had no choice but to look back at him, only to see that he had a beautiful and bright smile.
She couldn't help but feel touched.
She is still the angel with a good family background, enthusiasm and kindness in her memory.
Although in the novel the original owner turned evil and ate his soul, when she saw him she felt as if she saw a wronged soul seeking revenge.
But now she hasn't turned evil, and it's really not good for her to always avoid him.
The troublemaker Li Xia nodded desperately again, and pressed Li Yian's head, making Li Yian nod as well.
Never mind, the carriage is always faster than her.
The carriage was moving forward at a high speed. The boring journey made Li Xia, who was noisy at the beginning, drowsy and she fell asleep directly leaning on Li Yian's shoulder.
After a brief greeting with the group from Wenyuan, I learned that they were sent by the High Priest to look for immortals.
This is also mentioned in the novel. Nowadays, evil is everywhere, and it is difficult to clean them up if we rely solely on the theological society.
If we can unite the scattered immortals around the world and work together to deal with evil, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Qiu Sheng and his companions were sent here to search for the white crane, so they happened to be able to go to the habitat of the wind god together.
After learning the necessary information, Li Yian sat upright, his back straight, his eyes fixed, and he gave off an air of not wanting to chat.
But Qiu Sheng ignored her deliberate indifference and pulled out a chessboard. "It's still at least half an hour away. Shall we play a game of chess?"
Li Yian refused without a second thought, "Not interested."
Qiu Sheng laughed out loud, "They say that the martial arts academy is illiterate and has a single-minded mind. Are you afraid?"
Li Yian raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashing with aroused indignation, "Come on, compete."
The cold girl was aroused by his words and became competitive. She rolled up her sleeves and snatched the chess cup.
…
With a click, Qiu Sheng's black chess piece fell, blocking her path.
Li Yian held the white chess piece between his fingers, stared at the chessboard, and did not move the chess piece for a long time.
Qiu Sheng looked at the scenery outside the car window, his lips slightly curled, "Take your time to think about it, I don't mind waiting another quarter of an hour."
"Shut up!" the woman said coldly. She stood up angrily, bent over and stared at the chessboard, muttering something under her breath.
The companion riding next to him couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Qiu Sheng's bad taste.
At this moment, the horses suddenly neighed, as if they had smelled a terrible scent. Their hooves began to move in panic, causing the carriage to sway.
Li Yian quickly put down the chess pieces, drew his sword, and walked out of the carriage quickly.
I saw a few people staggering towards me, both men and women, with disheveled clothes and messy hair, but their faces were pale.
The fellows from the Academy of Literature seemed to want to approach and talk to him, but Li Yian shouted coldly, "Don't get close to them!"
The golden ring given by Mu Yang on Li Yian's wrist glowed, making her realize that the person in front of her was an evil person in disguise.
Any evil that dares to come out in broad daylight is a monster that has cultivated intelligence and is not easy to deal with.
"All of you get into the carriage and don't come out!"
