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

The strong feeling of nausea forced her to open her eyes.

"This is……"

"you're awake?"

Xier, who was sitting next to Zhong Li Yan, smiled as she watched her eyes gradually open.

"Ms. Xi'er... I am..."

Zhong Liyan quickly stood up, but the intense feeling of weakness deprived her of all strength in an instant, and she fell down again just as she was halfway up.

"Be careful."

Xier quickly stretched out a hand to catch her, then gently helped her down on the seat and said, "Don't worry, do you remember what you did before?"

"What did I do before?"

After hearing Xier's words, Zhong Liyan began to recall his memories according to what she said.

"I remember... I was holding the hilt of the sword... and a formula suddenly appeared in my mind, and I recited it unconsciously... and then..."

Zhong Liyan pieced together her messy memories bit by bit, and finally figured out a clear thread. The smart girl also figured out her current situation.

"That is to say, we are going to Taixu Mountain now, right?"

"That's right. We are indeed on our way to Taixu Mountain now."

Xier looked at Zhong Liyan with some surprise. She didn't expect that the other party had guessed their current destination.

"Didn't you expect that I would go to Mount Taixu under such circumstances..."

Zhong Li Yan seemed a little helpless, but then his frown relaxed.

"What's wrong?" Xier couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Zhong Liyan like this.

"Nothing, just a little bit of emotion." Zhong Liyan said after a moment of silence; "In fact, if I hadn't met Miss Xi'er, my next destination might have been Taixu Mountain."

"Oh?"

Xier was stunned for a moment. The first moment she heard Zhong Liyan's words, she felt that she also wanted to become his disciple, but she immediately gave up the idea. After all, Zhong Liyan had almost no martial arts knowledge. Although he had extensive knowledge, it was only at this level. It was even difficult for him to even climb Mount Taixu.

"Hmm? Miss Xi'er, aren't you curious about why I want to go to Taixu Mountain?"

Seeing that Xier just stared blankly and did not continue asking, Zhong Liyan was a little surprised. She thought Xier would ask something.

"Won't you tell me now?"

Xier smiled, which made Zhong Liyan swallow all the words he had prepared, and then he showed an angry expression.

"Really? Miss Xi'er is actually joking at this time..."

Zhong Liyan sighed and said, "Well, my purpose of going to Taixu Mountain is to meet the Red Kite Immortal."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to become Chi Yuan Immortal's disciple, I just want to ask some questions."

Zhong Li Yan took out the hilt of the sword from his arms, and then looked at the hilt with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"As I said before, Xiang Shu was sealed by a hero, and the handle of the Fu Yu sword in my hand is what he left behind."

"Oh I got it."

Xier nodded and looked out the window.

"We're almost there. How about it? Can we walk on our own?"

"Well, it's probably okay."

Zhong Liyan tried to stand up. Although he was still a little weak, he could still stand up.

"very good."

Xier nodded, then walked over to Lin Chaoyu who had been sleeping and shouted, "Wake up!!"

"Hey hey!! Have you eaten? It hurts...it hurts."

Lin Chaoyu jumped up suddenly, but because she was still in the carriage, she bumped headfirst into the roof of the carriage.

"What do you mean it's time to eat? Get up, we're here."

Looking at Lin Chaoyu who was rolling back and forth with her hands covering her head, Xier tapped her head gently and then got off the carriage.

"Hey? Are we there yet?"

Lin Chaoyu rubbed his head and stared blankly outside the car. The scene outside was exactly the same as the scene at the foot of Taixu Mountain.

"Hey!! You're actually back!! I haven't had enough fun yet!!!"

Lin Chaoyu held his head with his hands and screamed.

"Stop playing tricks and let's go."

Xier gave half of the luggage in her hands to Lin Chaoyu, and then walked towards Taixu Mountain.

"Well... we're all back."

Lin Chaoyu picked up the package, sighed and followed Xier.

————————————————————————

Walking on the road in Taixu Town, Xier greeted the people around her while holding something in her hand.

"Hey? Isn't this Xi'er Zhenren? Come to think of it, I haven't seen you in recent days. Are you out hunting monsters again?"

A man carrying a shoulder pole greeted Xier.

"Well, I went out with my junior sister to do some things."

Xier smiled and nodded in response.

"Hey? Isn't this my little sister Xi'er? What are you buying today?"

"No, no, I just came back and now I have to go back to the mountain."

After saying goodbye to the man, Xier passed by a small stall. When the stall owner saw Xier coming, he immediately greeted her warmly.

"Hey, don't be so polite. Here, this bunch of vegetables is a gift to you."

When the stall owner saw that Xier was not here to buy vegetables, he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and handed Xier a bundle of vegetables.

"Hey, how embarrassing is this."

Xier quickly refused. How could she accept this?

"Come on, come on, don't be polite. This is my gift to the immortal. Besides, Miss Xi'er always comes to our house to buy vegetables, so this is a gift."

The stall owner stuffed the dish into Xier's hand, not giving her any chance to refuse.

"This... okay..."

Xier took the dish with a smile on her face and stuffed it into the imaginary space. People around her were no longer surprised by Xier's trick. Only a few newcomers would discuss it secretly.

"Ms. Xi'er is really popular."

Zhong Liyan couldn't help but sigh as he watched Xier interact with the people around her.

"No, they are all from the same village. They just hang out together more often. They are not that popular."

Xier waved her hands. She didn't think she could be liked by so many people.

"By the way, Miss Xier, how are we going to get up the mountain?"

Zhongli Yan had also heard that the gate of Taixu Mountain was restricted and ordinary people could not go up. For so many years, only the person in front of him could walk in through the gate with dignity.

"It seems you have also heard about the maze that Master created."

Xier smiled and said, "That thing is not meant to be walked on. Master didn't intend for people to walk there."

"Eh? But isn't that where the Red Kite Immortal selects his disciples..."

"You yourself said it was just a rumor, how can it be believed?"

Xier pointed to the path beside and said, "Come on, this is the real road."

Chapter 74

Leading Zhong Li Yan onto the path, Xier couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her hesitant look and said something.

"What's wrong? Do you think Master is different from what you thought?"

"Ah this..."

Zhong Liyan saw that Xi'er had revealed his thoughts, so he stopped hiding them and asked, "Since the Red Kite Immortal doesn't want to see anyone, why did he build a mountain gate here?"

“Because it is necessary.”

Xi'er answered casually: "The purpose of the mountain gate's existence is not to build it for the Red Kite Immortal, but for humans."

"what?"

After hearing Xier's explanation, Zhong Liyan was stunned. What did this mean?

"You've heard of it, right? The Red Kite Immortal is aloof from the world, not concerned with worldly matters."

"Yes, that's what everyone I've met has said."

Seeing Zhong Liyan nod quickly, Xier sighed and said, "You are wrong. You have all been deceived."

"Ah? You got cheated?"

"How can someone really be detached from the mundane world?"

Xier spread her hands and said, "Master still eats three meals a day, it's just a matter of whether the food is good or not."

"But wasn't the Red Kite Immortal born with an immortal body?"

“That’s why I said it was a human being.”

Seeing Zhong Liyan's dull eyes, Xi'er continued, "No matter what is spread outside, at least in the eyes of us disciples, Master is still a human being."

"I don't quite understand...but I seem to understand something."

Zhong Liyan blinked her eyes, and Xier seemed to have said something but also seemed not to have said anything.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it, you'll know when you meet the Master."

Xier laughed a few times and continued to walk up. After walking two steps, Xier suddenly asked, "By the way, can I ask you about the story you told me before?"

"A story? About Xiang Shu?"

"Yes, that's right. I want to ask you something else. Is it inconvenient to ask?"

Looking at Zhong Liyan's somewhat conflicted expression, Xier said.

“No.” Zhong Liyan shook his head and said, “In fact, I don’t know much. I learned a lot of stories from my father. I was still young at the time, and what he said was vague. Now I can’t remember some of them clearly.”

"Is that so..." Xier stroked her chin.

She remembered the conversation she had with Xiaozhi in the carriage.

——————————————————————————————————

"Xiao Shi, what's going on in Yan Shiluo's head?"

After placing the unconscious Zhong Li Yan on the chair, Xier closed her eyes and started talking to Xiao Shi who had regained consciousness.

"Nothing. But seriously, I really spent a lot of effort this time." Xiao Shi spread his hands helplessly and said, "That guy's mind is really dangerous."

"Oh? Our invincible immortal also said it was dangerous?"

Xier teased Xiaoshi silently.

"How is that possible!" Xiao Shi immediately retorted: "Although that guy's mind is very dangerous, that is only for ordinary people. If I take action, won't it be easy to catch him?"

"Okay, okay, then what did our easily captured immortal find?"

"You know what, I found quite a few things."

Xiao Zhi said mysteriously, "Originally, there is nothing in Yan Shiluo's mind, and the only information he has is what you have known before."

"but……"

Xiao Zhi shook his finger and said, "This Immortal is extremely smart and has discovered the abnormality in his mind."

"abnormal?"

"That's right. There is actually a restriction in Yan Shiluo's head, and he himself is not aware of it at all."
