I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"After all, they don't know this."

Xi'er also sighed as she looked at the talented people around her. Most of them were geniuses from various sects. They all came to Taixu Mountain with their own wishes. It was a pity that no matter what your reasons were, Fu Hua would not care. This maze was set up to prevent people from entering, not the "test" they said.

"let's go!"

The Herrscher of Consciousness waved his hand and directed Xier to move forward.

"Hey, hey... I'm the one who has to climb the stairs... Xiaoshi, you're just sitting there..."

Xi'er couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly when she heard the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge. Sure enough, this guy just wanted to laugh at her...

If Xier were to say what she gained the most from the two-month journey, she would think it must be the fate with the Herrscher of Knowledge. During the two-month journey, Xier and the Herrscher of Knowledge had a rapid development in their relationship. After all, who doesn't like a little sister who can tolerate them at any time and speaks in a non-annoying way? So, of course, the Herrscher of Knowledge was conquered by Xier and became the most important person in her heart besides Fu Hua.

Of course, the Herrscher of Knowledge herself would not admit what Fu Hua said. In her words, "What's so good about that old antique! I don't want to see her at all! Not at all!"

Xi'er could only sigh, "Tsundere ruins your life..."

Without further ado, when Xier was about to go up the mountain alone, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"The girl in front!"

"Ok?"

Xier turned her head and looked behind her, only to see two men in white clothes following her.

"Is there a problem?"

Xier looked at the two carefully. They seemed to be wearing clothes from the same sect, but Xier didn't know which sect they were from. Xier didn't look at the two too much. First, it was not polite to do so, and second, Xier didn't care about the two at all.

"My lady, I see you are climbing the mountain alone, are you alone?"

One of them asked in a polite voice.

"Yes, I am the only one."

Xier answered softly, but what she was thinking at this moment was

(Yes, I am the only one. Xiaozhi is a Herrscher, so she is not a human.)

"Girl, how about we travel together?"

After hearing Xier's answer, the man happily closed his fan and said to Xier, "But, girl, don't misunderstand me. We have no bad intentions. It's just that this mountain road is difficult to travel. If you are alone at night, the beasts in the mountains may not give up easily. If we can travel together, we can take turns to guard at night, which will reduce the danger a lot."

"That's a good suggestion, but I'm sorry, I'm enough for one person."

Xier apologized to the two of them and continued walking upstairs.

"Hey! Wait! Girl!"

When the man saw Xier turn around and leave, he panicked and quickly called out to Xier.

"Anything else?"

Xier looked at the two men speechlessly. Why were these two guys still pestering people?

“Um…” The man scratched his head awkwardly, as if he had something to hide. After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, “Girl…it’s like this…we…we don’t know martial arts…”

"what?"

Xi'er was stunned for a moment. What are you doing if you don't know martial arts? See the scenery of Taixu Mountain?

The man also noticed Xi'er's surprise. He smiled bitterly and said, "We are not here to seek immortality. We just made an appointment with someone to paint all the famous places in the world. We have been traveling for several years, and now only the Taixu Holy Land has not been painted."

"Why don't you just paint at the foot of the mountain?"

Xier was surprised. It turned out that this guy really came to see the scenery. But she didn't know why he had to go up the mountain when he could obviously paint at the foot of the mountain.

"I know..." The man suddenly clenched his hands and said, "But! If that happens, I will always have a regret in my heart. If the work I have worked so hard on for all these years leaves a regret in the end, I am afraid I will never forgive myself in my life. Moreover, due to family matters, once I go home, I can hardly come here again, so I want to achieve my wish perfectly!"

"Very good spirit, but what does it have to do with me?"

No matter how kind Xier is, she won't suddenly help a stranger. If it's to save a life, then there's no problem, but even if it's not her, this kind of thing can be done, so why would Xier go to the extra mile?

"I see that the girl is climbing the mountain alone. She must be confident that she can survive under the claws of wild beasts. In this case, I would like to hire her to protect us."

The man's face turned red. It was so embarrassing for him, a grown man, to ask a little girl to protect him.

"Oh?"

Xier raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't there many other teams? Why did you come to me?"

"To be honest, I have asked many teams, but they don't want to delay their journey to immortality because of me. After all, if they bring two of us along as a burden, the speed of progress will be much slower, so I can only wait here. The girl is already the fifteenth person I have met..."

The man had a bitter look on his face, and it looked like he had indeed been rejected many times.

"That's it..."

Xier looked at the man's lowered face, then looked at him carefully again, then turned and walked up.

Watching Xier leaving, the man felt a bitter feeling in his heart. Yes, his wish must be too insignificant compared to the wishes of others, and no one could give up his or her opportunity.

However, Xier walked out a few steps and suddenly turned back and shouted: "Hey! Why don't you leave? I'm leaving you behind!"

"what!"

The man suddenly raised his head and looked at Xier in surprise. He asked tremblingly, "Miss... did you agree?"

"Let's go. It won't delay me even if I take you with me."

Xier said casually.

(Someone actually risked losing the opportunity to help us!)

The man and his companion looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Okay, let's go! You two are gay!"

Xi'er didn't know what they had imagined, but bringing these two along wouldn't affect her. After all, Xiao Shi had promised her that she could definitely get through the maze. If she couldn't, she could just force her way through. After all, she wouldn't be blocked by that kind of thing. But this guy only had this one chance to fulfill his wish. Since she could help him a little, Xi'er wouldn't care about those things.

"Thank you so much, girl!!"

The two of them quickly followed Xier's footsteps.

"By the way, girl, what is this gay you mentioned?"

"Ah, this... is the symbol of friendship! Yes... the symbol of friendship!"

"Really? Then we can be called good friends!"

“Pfft! Yes… yes…”

Chapter VII

"Miss Xier...wait...wait for us..."

Hearing the panting sounds coming from behind, Xier turned her head speechlessly and looked back. The two people who had been ambitious to climb up Taixu Mountain to paint were now more than fifty meters behind Xier.

"Hahaha……"

The man looked up at Xier above him breathlessly, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. After all, the two of them were people who had traveled all over the country, and in terms of physical strength, they were not worse than some people in the martial arts world. In fact, because they had been traveling to various scenic spots all year round, they were even faster than those people in the martial arts world when walking on mountain roads.

However, Miss Xier in front of them was much faster than the two of them in climbing the mountain. Just keeping up with her speed had already consumed most of their physical strength.

"are you tired?"

Seeing the two of them panting, Xier couldn't help scratching her head and cheeks. She hadn't used much strength yet...

"It's okay... no problem!"

The man forced himself to smile and said, "Keep going!"

It was he who delayed Miss Xier for his own wish, so how could he dare to say he was tired now!

"All right……"

Although Xier said this, she slowed down a little. She could see that the two were exhausted. In order to take care of them, Xier deliberately slowed down her pace so that they could keep up.

"Hahaha, you're still climbing Mount Taixu like this..."

However, at this moment, a rather harsh voice sounded beside Xier and the others.

A man with a sword on his back looked like a human being. He looked at the two panting people with contempt, then glanced at Xi'er and said, "If it's just this extent, I advise you to get off early..."

Of course, he said this to those two people. As for Xier, he did not underestimate her strength for the time being.

"Oh?"

Without waiting for the two to reply, Xi'er spoke first, "Excuse me, did my two friends offend you?"

"Ok?"

The Yin-Yang Master looked at Xi'er in surprise, then sneered and said, "No, you didn't provoke me. It's just that if it's just this serious, you'd better go down early. Although immortals don't kill, wild beasts are ruthless. It doesn't matter to you, but these two people... Humph, I'm afraid that by then we won't even be able to see their corpses."

"Well……"

Although the man knew that what the man said was correct and he also knew his own strength, so he did not refute it, but he still felt sad to hear it said so bluntly.

"Then don't bother, Your Excellency. I brought them up here, so I can naturally take them down."

Xier glanced at the Yin-Yang Master, then spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh?"

The man looked at Xier but still couldn't figure out her background. You know, most of the people who come to climb the mountain are famous talents, but this person's appearance has never appeared in his intelligence.

"let's go."

The man took one last look at Xier and continued walking up.

"Ms. Hill...we are sorry to trouble you..."

The man said very frustratedly.

"Ok?"

Xier raised her eyebrows and said in a strange voice: "What did you call me?"

"Xi...Xi'er? Miss?"

The man was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that his words had angered Miss Xier. He quickly thought about his words carefully.

"Well... that's right, my name is Xier, don't call me by the wrong name!"

Xier nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "We will reach the maze if we continue to go up. Are you sure you want to go up?"

Under the guidance of the treasure navigation, Xier accurately learned that after going up a distance, crowdfunding group 456127940 will reach the maze set up by the Red Kite Immortal. She didn't care at that time, but the two people could not pass through the maze and could only be trapped inside.

"Well, just like we were talking before, Miss Xi'er escorted us to the maze. As long as we make sure there are no beasts there, we will stay there."

The man looked at the road in front of him with a hint of excitement in his eyes. The location of the maze was right on the hillside, where there was a small platform for them to sketch. As for going up the mountain? They had no intention of going up the mountain from the beginning. He just wanted to record the appearance of Taixu Mountain to the greatest extent, so that his wish would be fulfilled.

"Ok."

Xier didn't say anything else. It was just a simple favor. Since they had made the decision, there was no need for her to do anything else.

After walking for a while, Xier and the other two arrived at the maze.

There was a wooden sign standing next to the steps paved with bluestone slabs. Although the sign itself was a little damaged after years of wind and rain, the words on it were extremely clear. Legend has it that the words would last for a thousand years, and they contained the true meaning of immortals, which could enable people to attain enlightenment overnight.

'That's it, no one is coming.'

The eight majestic characters were hung brightly on the wooden sign. From time to time, a hint of sword intent was revealed between the edges of the characters, which made passers-by look sideways.

There were also sword practitioners gathered around the wooden sign, trying to comprehend something from the words on it. After all, this was the authentic work of the Red Kite Immortal. Someone had tried to strike it with a weapon, and the wooden sign would burst out with a powerful sword intent, repelling the invader.

"Ah... these guys really don't change their bad habits..."

Looking at the group of people gathered in front of the wooden sign, the Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's all their fault for carrying it with them every day. As a result, I have to write on it again every time I come back from exorcising demons. Otherwise, this wooden sign would be worn out by them..."

"Hey? Isn't this the sword intent you left behind deliberately?"

"What's the point of leaving it here intentionally? Every time I came back from exorcising demons, I saw that the words on this sign were blurred, and I didn't have a pen, so I used some strength to write it down. It's not as mysterious as the legend says, leaving a test for the right person. I hope no one comes to disturb me..."

The Herrs of Knowledge said indignantly, "And this group of guys actually chopped down the wooden sign. I don't know what that bastard said about being able to get the true meaning by destroying the wooden sign. If it's that easy to 'know the foul language', why would we practice the Taixu sword energy? At first, I could always see the road sign lying on the side, so I had to pick it up. Later, I used some tricks to fix it to the ground for convenience."

Xier listened to the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge foolishly. The legendary image she had just heard from those people collapsed in an instant, leaving only a miserable image of holding up road signs every day and guarding against others destroying them. Is the life of an immortal so miserable...

"It's not that bad..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge felt the sympathy from Xi'er and said speechlessly: "These are just some insignificant things caused by the ignorance of mortals. There is nothing to worry about."

"By the way...Xiao Shi, is this method really feasible..."

Xier raised her hand to cover her chest, feeling the holy mark hidden under her clothes, and said uncertainly.

"Don't worry, your stigmata are the product of the previous generation. Mei conscientiously formulated many plans to ensure that humans can defeat Honkai. Even an old antique knows one or two. Anyway, just put the blame on Mei!"
