Chapter 231 Go to Maoshan Mountain Gate
Lin Xi shuddered and let the ghost wipe... I really couldn't imagine that scene. She quickly gathered her mind and organized her words, "Since I... um, since I left the Taoist temple that day..."
Without talking about unnecessary nonsense, I briefly talked about the mission of Liuzhou City, and focused on the emergence of the way of heaven, the imminent disappearance of the rules of heaven and earth, and of course the fact that my lifespan is not long.
Although he said it relatively calmly and conveyed it in one sentence, Zhang Zhihua and Taoist Master Xuanmiao still felt heavy.
"It's not too late. Let's set off directly tomorrow morning. You take Xiaobao straight to the gate of Maoshan Mountain. Then I will stay here. I will protect Jingqi and Jingyan. You can wait until Xiaobao finishes studying.
Come back." Zhang Zhihua made the decision immediately.
After getting along with each other for many years, she knew how quickly Lin Xi learned the skills, and Maoshan mainly focused on the magic of talismans and seal scripts. The number of middle-grade and high-grade talismans was far less than the basic talisman encyclopedia.
After all, three months is enough. Even if you add in the "Heavenly Book and Thunder Seal" that Lin Xi is thinking about, half a year is completely enough.
According to her calculations, it would be at least half a year before the rules of heaven and earth completely expired and the demons tried to test her, so there was still enough time.
"Okay!" Taoist priest Xuan Miao did not hesitate. As for Lin Xi's lifespan, although Lin Xi said it very euphemistically, he just said that everything he got was at the cost of the task. If he could not complete the task, he could only live to twenty-eight.
Years old, there are still ten years left, so there is no need to be too hasty.
But Taoist Master Xuan Miao doesn't think so. He thinks it's just right to finish it early, otherwise it will be like a sharp sword hanging above your head, and you will always be in panic.
If you finish it early, you can still enjoy the beauty of life without any worries, and you will still be standing at the height of the top of the mountain, even more freely.
However, Lin Xi did not just complete the task so that she could enjoy life here, but returned to her previous life, so she would die if she did not complete the task, and leave after completing it. After all, she would say goodbye to this world.
So Lin Xi saluted Zhang Zhihua and Taoist Master Xuanmiao with a slightly complicated expression, "Thank you Aunt Zhang and Master!" He was ready. No matter whether he completed the task or not, he would finish everything before the time was up.
Make it clear to both of them.
"There's no need for this. Xiaobao, go and talk to Jingqi and the others. After all, we will be apart for a long time when we leave tomorrow. Senior Zhang and I still have something to talk about." This was the first time that Taoist priest Xuan Miao took the initiative in front of Zhang Zhiping.
Arrangement, it seems that there is indeed something important.
Lin Xi nodded, stood up and replied: "Yes, Master, Aunt Zhang, I will go over first. To be honest, I haven't had a good chat with them for a long time."
The chat this time was very lively, especially Jingyan, who was all boiling. He had already accepted the gap between him and Lin Xi. He was boiling because Lin Xi could fight with the third grade and achieved a breakthrough.
.
This is the real character in the novel, full of legend, and this is what he yearns for. With a pot of wine in his waist, all injustices can be settled.
But Li Wenzhe has been absent-minded. Except for expressing his surprise and desire at the beginning, he spent the rest of the time looking for something, but found nothing.
Lin Xi looked at his expression and couldn't help feeling satisfied, because when she went back to the room to wash up, she had already told Lu Qianqian not to see Li Wenzhe.
Although Lu Qianqian's expression was rather weird at the time, she still happily agreed. She was very happy, which made Lin Xi feel baffled, but just agreed, and the scene now was what she wanted to see.
Jingqi is still as calm and taciturn as ever. He is always talking to everyone. He occasionally responds a few times, but most of them are Jingyan and Liu Ying talking. After spending more time together, they have become familiar with each other, and Liu Ying also
Restored his former personality.
It wasn't until the end that Jingqi made a long concluding speech, "Xiaobao, we can't help you in terms of strength. Please be careful in everything from now on. If there is anything you can help me with, please speak up among me!"
Lin Xi nodded gratefully, because except for Liu Ying, he had never seen him speak in a formal speech with so many words, which could be considered a long speech.
It was already late at night when everyone dispersed. Lin Xi didn't need to worry about packing their luggage. Lu Qianqian, who had nothing to do, had already packed it up. Now she just had to wait for dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, Taoist Master Xuan Miao, who had packed up, had been waiting for Lin Xi in the dining hall for a long time. It seemed that he was even more anxious than Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi arrived, before he finished the ceremony, he said directly: "Eat quickly and get on your way after eating!"
At this point, Lin Xi almost didn't even want to eat. Is this going to kill her?
Perhaps feeling that there was something wrong with his words, Taoist priest Xuan Miao added, "This trip is quite far. Let's rush directly to Qingzhou, and then take a boat to Suzhou. It's faster than taking the land route, so let's hurry up."
, this way we should be able to get to the dock in three days.ā
After listening to Taoist Xuan Miao's explanation, Lin Xi felt much better and sat down to concentrate on eating.
The rice should be made by Jingqi, and you could tell by the taste, but for some reason, Jingqi, Jingyan and others were missing. This made Lin Xi feel strange, but she didn't ask much.
As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put away, Lin Xi asked: "Master, shall we set off now?"
"Well!" Taoist priest Xuan Miao stood up directly. His personal equipment was still the same, including a luggage bag, a rattan box, and a small satchel. The rattan box was still the same one six years ago, and even the faded rough edges were still so familiar. It seemed that Taoist priest Xuan Miao
He looks very frugal.
"Okay, Master, I'm going to call Qianqian to gather now!" After answering, Lin Xi was stunned as soon as she left the house.
Because Zhang Zhihua took the lead and stood in the courtyard, calmly and quietly, Li Wenzhe and Liu Ying stood in a row, each holding a gift box in their hands. Although they were of different sizes and were not neatly dressed, Lin Xi was inexplicably attracted to them.
There was something touching.
Could this be the important matter that Taoist priest Xuan Miao and Zhang Zhihua were talking about?
He quickly walked up to Zhang Zhihua and said hurriedly: "Aunt Zhang, I'm flattered by what you've done!"
Zhang Zhihua changed his usual ferocity and smiled gently, and then said: "Originally, you need to celebrate well when you reach the third level, but your situation is different and you have to leave in a hurry, so Jingyan and the others found me and said
Iām sending you a farewell. Consider this time my congratulations to you.ā
After saying that, he stuffed the box in Lin Xi's hand. The box was not heavy and he couldn't feel what was inside.
Lin Xi took it respectfully, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for taking the trouble!"
Zhang Zhihua smiled, then nodded, shifted his position, and then Jingqi and Jingyan, including Li Wenzhe and Liu Ying, presented gifts, and Lin Xi accepted them one by one.
He didn't care about the importance of the gift, but he cherished the deep affection. He didn't reveal it at all during the chat last night, but he didn't expect to prepare a surprise for him today, as if it was his birthday.
For the sake of Li Wenzhe's gift, Lin Xi secretly called Lu Qianqian over in the name of getting the gift box. In fact, it was to let Li Wenzhe meet Lu Qianqian and get what he wanted.
Sure enough, the moment Li Wenzhe saw Lu Qianqian appeared, his eyebrows flew up, and he shouted in surprise, "Sister Qianqian!"
However, Lu Qianqian still remembered Lin Xi's instructions yesterday, and just smiled politely at Li Wenzhe, then held the gift box, shook her steps lightly, and left calmly.
Li Wenzhe was confused as to why his sister Qianqian came back this time as if she was a different person, and looked at Lin Xi in confusion.
Lin Xi smiled coquettishly, "Well, that Qianqian's strength has improved too quickly recently. Now she is unstable and her control is not very good, so she can't get along with everyone for a long time. She is afraid of hurting everyone. That's why she behaves like this. She will stabilize her state later.
Okay, well, I hope everyone can understand me."
Li Wenzhe believed it, "Ah, that's it. No wonder Sister Qianqian didn't come to see me this time!"
After hearing this, Lin Xi felt that he should not be soft-hearted and let him meet Lu Qianqian once. He smiled perfunctorily "haha", which made this farewell come to an imperfect end.
Zhang Zhihua gave Lin Xi a look full of meaning. She could still tell whether Lu Qianqian's strength was stable, but she didn't think about exposing it. After all, the dignity of a third-level master still had to be taken into consideration.
So he said: "Okay, Wenzhe, Xiaobao and the others are in a hurry. We will have more time to talk later."
Several people once again sent their farewell blessings, and Lin Xi and Taoist Master Xuan Miao set off.
The time was about the same as Taoist Master Xuan Miao had estimated. Three days later in the evening, the two arrived at the Gyeongju Pier and successfully contacted the merchant ship heading to Suzhou the next day.
After adding some money, the steward of the merchant ship gave them two rooms on the ground floor and told them that this was not a passenger ship and it was best to solve the problem of eating by themselves. The canteen on the ship only had dry pancakes with fish soup.
It will dock once every night, and every time it docks, it will be unloading and loading. If you find it too noisy and unstable, you can live on the shore and set off at dawn the next day. If you can't catch up when the time comes, you won't wait.
It's really cool. It doesn't have the attitude of the service industry at all. This is something I did well in my previous life.
Taoist priest Xuan Miao didn't get angry, he responded with a smile, then turned to Lin Xi and said: "Xiaobao has never been here before, I will take you around to feel the charm of the sea. Haha, I am also at the mountain gate.
I only had the opportunity to see it when I was practicing. I haven't seen it since I went to No. 169 Maoshan. At that time... Well, let's not talk about it. Let's go and take a look. Even though it is night, you can still have a look.
"
Although he was no stranger to the sea, he still did not reject Taoist Master Xuan Miao's kindness, "Okay, then Master, let's go around!"
There is really nothing to see in the sea at night. Apart from the sound of the tide and the fishy smell of the sea, almost nothing can be seen, so before walking too far, Lin Xi found a topic to chat with. It had been a long time since he had a private chat with Taoist Master Xuan Miao.
.
"Master, can you tell me about your past experience at Shanmen? After all, this is my first time to go to Shanmen, and I want to get some impressions of Shanmen from you." He knew very well that his master's pause might be because he remembered the past, and now he wanted to
I am going to bring the topic to Uncle Xuanmiao, and the figure of this uncle should not be missing from the previous stories.
Xuan Miao paused and looked at the dark sea blankly, as if lost in memories. After a long time, he said: "That's it, okay, anyway, I can't see anything now, so I will tell you about it!"
Chapter completed!
