Lin Xixue saw Zhou Sheng's anxious look and couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
After all, there is still some hope in being taken away by the "immortal". If I really want to tell the truth, I don't know if this dull boy can accept it.
Moreover, it may not actually be true that Hong Yanzi was deceived.
After all, most of the slaves in the cave were hungry people fleeing famine, and they were stunned by just one steamed bun.
These hungry people do not have much family background, so naturally no one will trace them, and they will not attract attention, which is safer for Hong Yanzi.
If someone with relatives like Zhou Sheng's sister is taken away in person, the risk is obviously higher.
Moreover, as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. Generally speaking, criminals will choose to commit crimes far away from their regular dens. Hong Yanzi probably wouldn't choose to commit crimes near his den.
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Xixue felt that such things without conclusive evidence should not be talked about.
She reassured: "Practice has no time. Seven years is indeed a long time for mortals, but for monks it is only a blink of an eye. So it is not impossible for your sister to practice in seclusion after going up the mountain."
"However, you saved my and my senior sister's lives, so we should repay your kindness. Does your sister have a name? If we really find her in the future, is there a token to recognize her?"
Walking deep into the mountain, he took out a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on himself. After spreading it, he handed the rest to Lin Xixue.
"Shangzhen."
Lin Xixue took a closer look and saw that the old woman's unsightly hair was tied into a dish by the batik sea-blue headscarf, and she didn't know how many teeth were left in her mouth.
She didn't lie either. After all, Bai Qing was a serious disciple of the Immortal Sect, so she naturally knew more secrets about the world of immortality that she didn't know.
I don't know why, but her skin has completely adhered to the bones. The direction of the blood vessels under the skin and the gaps between the bones can all be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Zhou Sheng picked up the charcoal and wrote some strange words on the papyrus paper. Then he tore the papyrus paper into pieces and swallowed it alive.
The two of them climbed over the top of the mountain and saw a temple made of stone. The roof was paved with glazed tiles and the exterior walls were painted with lime powder. In this deep mountain fishing village where supplies were scarce, it was indeed a quite luxurious building.
She looked Lin Xixue up and down, leaned her cane against the wall, folded her hands in front of her chest, and leaned over to salute.
"Shangzhen, why are you and I so arrogant? I know she is not your senior sister, and you should also know what I am talking about." Da Wu Zhu's voice was still calm and gentle, as if he was confident.
Not long after, the temple door opened, and an old woman on crutches slowly moved out.
However, Lin Xixue did not pay special attention to it. In troubled times, wars and chaos, starvation and death on the road, and the loss of merchants and scholars' families also happened from time to time.
The sound of his footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only the cool breeze lapping at the bamboo sea.
Zhou Sheng did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
After resting and packing his luggage, he took Lin Xixue to a rather remote mountain road.
Lin Xixue took the rattle and shook it twice, but the drum surface had no elasticity and could not shake.
However, the word "Shangzhen" with respect sounded particularly harsh to Lin Xixue's ears.
The stooped Da Wu Zhu also showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and nodded gently: "Good boy, things here have nothing to do with you, go back quickly."
"If you sprinkle insect repellent powder on your body, mosquitoes will not dare to come near you. The insects in the mountains are very poisonous."
Perhaps because she has no teeth, her speech is not very clear, but her tone is quite respectful.
The flesh and blood between the skin and bones seemed to have been swallowed up out of thin air by something unknown.
Zhou Sheng thought for a moment, opened a large box in the corner, and took out a rattle with peeling paint from under a pair of old clothes.
Lin Xixue could hear Zhou Sheng's voice was a little more awe-inspiring, and his words no longer jumped out word by word. Instead, he became a little more formal, and he no longer looked like an ordinary fisherman.
Lin Xixue took advantage of the topic and directly asked Zhou Sheng to take her to find Bai Qing.
"Just try your best, don't dare to ask for anything more."
She solemnly put away the rattle and reminded her again: "I need to make it clear to you first. Yunzhou is so vast. Although you gave me a token, I may not be able to find your sister."
"Since I promised to help you find your sister, I will pay more attention when traveling in the future. It's just that my senior sister knows the sect's customs in Yunzhou better, so if I want to find your sister, I have to go find my senior sister first."
Lin Xixue drew out her magic sword and held a sword flower in her arms. She held the sword with both hands in front of her chest and took a stance.
At least, it seems like I have read some classics.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, then sprinkled the powder on her body. She was not afraid that Zhou Sheng would have any evil intentions. After all, if he really had evil intentions, there would be no need to save her.
But the great witch Zhu stood still and didn't seem to have any intention of hostility. She lightly tapped her cane and said in a deep voice: "Shangzhen, put down your sword. I'm an old bone. You don't need to do anything. I'm afraid
It didn’t take long before they dispersed on their own.”
The batik navy blue clothes, paired with the silver jewelry all over the body, make it feel heavy just by looking at it.
The thing he was holding on was not so much a cane as it was a dry vine covered in pulp. The whole person was as stooped as a standing shrimp.
So even if you have read some books, it is not surprising that you live in this fishing village and make a living fishing.
This so-called Great Witch Zhu, like Hong Yanzi, are both people who serve monsters. Even if they are not the monster Tianzun, they are at least the same type of monster.
There must be something wrong with this kind of monster who calculated in advance that Bai Qing would come and named her to be brought here.
She turned her head and said to Zhou Sheng behind her: "If you can help me lead the way, I will discuss some matters with the great witch Zhu. When the matter is settled, I will return to the village to find you."
He is now a seventh-grade immortal official taught by the monster Tianzun himself. There is only one kind of person who can call himself Shangzhen.
I think this is the so-called Wuzeng Temple.
The temple door is closed, and through the door, you can smell the bitter herbal smell coming from inside.
There is a table at the door, with paperweights, charcoal pencils and straw paper on it.
Zhou Sheng bowed to each of them and hurried down the mountain.
Moreover, she had an unreasonable feeling that even if there was really something wrong with the powder, given her current physical condition, there was a high probability that it would not be affected in any way.
"My sister's name is Qiao'er. If you meet her in the future, give her this rattle. She will understand it when she sees it."
"What did you do to my senior sister?" Lin Xixue's tone became colder, "Or rather, what did the monster you serve do to her?"
"Answer my question, what did you do to her?"
Lin Xixue's black feather coat fluttered, and the jade album clattered into a jade belt, with a black halo hidden behind it.
Bai Qing can't die, at least until she lifts the restrictions on herself and before she tells what happened after she fell into a hallucination, she absolutely can't die.
The great witch Zhu smiled and said nothing. He raised his crutch and took off the colorful cloth covering the temple's nave, revealing countless clay dolls of various sizes in the temple.
The second chapter has been delivered. Please recommend me, please give me character refills, please give me monthly votes, and most importantly, please continue to read!
But this seems to be a logical paradox. If you can read this passage, it is already a follow-up reading. If you need to be reminded to follow up, you can't seem to see this passage. Should I go to the first chapter for follow-up reading?
