Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 35: Night Talk by the Swamp
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng looked confused. "Wei Xi, he is hot."

Lian Gou pointed at himself and then at Wei Xi, "One of us must be not very smart."

"Shut up," Qin Feng didn't even glance at Lian Goujie. "Even though Lian Goujie can hide in the wall and act mysteriously, you can't say he's not human, right? After all, we crawled out of the silk cocoon together. I grabbed his arm, and it was solid."

Wei Xi looked at him coldly and said nothing more.

After being interrupted like this, Qin Feng didn't feel comfortable to continue her journey overnight, so she told the two silent people to pack up and prepare to spend the night.

Wei and Qin had much more experience in the wild than Lian Gou-yu. The two girls made a large pile of moss to pad the ground, set up a few branches, and covered them with fur. Lian Gou-yu built a fire in front of the makeshift tent and gathered some dry firewood nearby.

After Qin Feng finished dealing with the tent, he went to deal with the two rabbits, while Wei Xi dug a hole in the ground, hoping that there would be filtered dirty water from the swamp in the hole tomorrow morning.

"This rabbit needs to be roasted for a while. Let's go back to the sect and ask Zhao Dazui for some seasoning so that we can have something better next time." Qin Feng wanted to liven up the atmosphere. After all, the three of them had to leave the secret realm together, and it would not be good to have something unpleasant.

Who would have thought that even without Gou Xie saying a word, Wei Xi still acted as if he was isolating himself from the whole world.

For the first time, Qin Feng understood Zhao Dazui. It was indeed not easy to take care of a child.

"Qin Feng, I want to check the time." Wei Xi suddenly came back to his senses from his trance, and saw the time.

If Wei Xi hadn't said it, Qin Feng would have forgotten about it.

"Strange!" Qin Feng looked at the clock on his hand. "How come it's dark after only three hours?"

This kind of watch is finely crafted, and the Qiankun bag is sealed with a magic circle, so things placed inside will never be damaged.

There was only one possibility. From the time the three of them set out until nightfall, only three hours had passed, exactly three hours.

"There's something wrong with the sunrise and sunset here." Qin Feng muttered as he looked at the clock whose scenery had just changed.

"The secret realm is so dangerous," Wei Xi stared at Lian Gouyu, whose face was obscured by shadows. "If you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for us to escape."

Qin Feng: Is the fact that there's a problem with the sunrise and sunset some unnecessary discovery? Why are you still interrogating Lian Gou-ye?
"What truth or lie? If I'm not a human being, what am I?" Lian Gouqie retorted, stirring the fire.

Qin Feng looked at the clock on her wrist, confused as to what was going on. However, she believed that Wei Xi was not someone who spoke without thinking, so she held the hilt of her sword and waited for the outcome.

"How do I know what you are? I only know that you are not a human." Wei Xi looked as if it was a matter of course, with a straightforwardness that didn't care about Lian Gou's life or death.

Lian Gouye sneered and threw the stick he was using to stir the fire aside. "What do you mean? You keep saying I'm not human? I'm a few years older than you, and you're saying I'm not human? Show me the evidence!"

"You're not a monk, but you can hide in walls and cloth," Wei Xi said slowly, "normal people can't do that."

"Little sister, have you ever heard of a type of people called casual cultivators?" Lian Gouqie retorted, his face full of Wei Xi's unreasonableness.

"You haven't drunk a drop of water since we met, and you wouldn't dare to go into the swamp easily. People wouldn't be so afraid of water."

"Is it not okay if I am a cactus spirit?"

"One last thing," Wei Xi said, looking like a hunter who had caught his prey, watching its dying struggle with determination, "In the silk cocoon, the speed at which you were wrapped was different."

"The three of us were trapped for about the same amount of time. Qin Feng and I weren't entangled by the silk cocoon, but your calf was already wrapped around it when Qin Feng went to rescue you."

Qin Feng looked at Wei Xi, then at Lian Gou Xie, wondering what she could do. Lian Gou Xie pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Among the silk cocoons we dug up, there was a wrapped corpse. The area covered by the clothes was all silk mesh," Wei Xi said without bothering to hide her words, so her lips were motionless, looking very strange. "But his face was still clean."

"Wei Xi, if you didn't cultivate immortality, you would definitely be a constable," Qin Feng couldn't help but admire. "I'm mute, so I just observe more," Wei Xi said nonchalantly.

"Alright," Qin Feng turned his attention to the silent Lian Gouyue, "What exactly is going on? After all, Wei Xi has a valid point. You have to give us an explanation."

Lian Gouqie just looked at Wei Qin and the others coldly, as if he was suddenly feeling very lonely.

"I don't care whether you are a human or a ghost, but we are now grasshoppers tied together." Wei Xi's unfinished meaning was obvious.

"You are still monks, but I can't tell that you two are monks." Lian Gou Xie did not want to put himself down and started with a round of ridicule.

Qin Feng was about to retort, but Wei Xi said calmly, "We are both noobs, you saw it too."

"I hit the rabbit." Qin Feng tried to defend himself, but no one cared.

Lian Gouqie once again realized the shamelessness of the Qingcheng Sect and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's my bad luck," Lian Gou saw that the rabbit was almost roasted and tore off a rabbit leg, "I'm really not a human."

The foreshadowing had already been laid, and Qin Feng accepted it well. He began to distribute the rabbits and listen to Lian Gou'e's story.

"The old city lord of Baoxiang City likes to collect rare and precious treasures, and the people who come and go always find something that pleases him."

"Seventeen years ago, a shirtless painter came from Nanjiang. His nose was cut off. It was said that he was captured and tortured during a tribal war."

"This painter's paintings are also strange. He can draw whatever the people who come here want."

"But these things come at a price, and it all depends on the bare-chested painter's wishes. At first, the people of Baoxiang City didn't believe him, until a woman's mother became seriously ill. She had no other choice but to ask the painter for help. The painter gave her a herb. The woman searched the desert for three days and finally found the herb in the painting."

Lian Gouqie spat out the bone and took the rabbit head from Qin Feng.

"This painter only wants this person to dance, and that person is a dancer, so naturally she will be very grateful."

"The painter's fame is growing, and the rumors about him in Baoxiang City are becoming more and more outrageous."

"The old city lord invited the painter into his mansion. After the painter entered the mansion, he said nothing. The old city lord had a violent temper and almost threw the painter into the fighting garden to feed the monsters."

"The painter kowtowed three times towards the south and began to paint a picture of a beautiful woman."

"The Lord of Baoxiang City has had few descendants, and the old Lord himself has no children at all. The painter remained silent after finishing this painting of a beautiful woman."

"The old city lord attracted young women from the surrounding cities in the name of selecting a saint."

"Finally, he found the person in the painting. The woman was the sixteen-year-old daughter of the owner of a spice shop in Baoxiang City."

"The old city lord married a woman forty years his junior with great fanfare."

"After three years of marriage, they still had no children. The old city lord remembered the painting the painter had drawn and hung the painting of the beauty in his bedroom."

"Ten months later, the City Lord's wife gave birth to a boy." Lian Gouqie tore off two pieces of rabbit meat. "That night, the painting also gave birth to a painting."
