"Yes, there's clearly no such large square face on the turtle back painting. The totem style doesn't fit."
Sister Dragon Girl snapped her fingers, and the high-altitude rain clouds that were about to pass by in front suddenly turned into a mural, the same one she had seen before.
The sacrifices in the Sericulture Kingdom are unique in style and highly recognizable. The large square face mask is indispensable and is a symbol of status.
Those with the most noble status simply look like this, while those with lower status have to wear similar bronze masks before they can sit at the table to eat, and even kowtow has to pay attention to their status.
It is indeed different from the turtle back picture. Since it is a captured omen, there is no reason to miss such a conspicuous mask.
Chu Wuji muttered, "So, does the turtle back map 'foresee' sacrifices in other places?"
The Fox Goddess didn't dwell on this blind guess. Her keen sense of smell allowed her to smell the scent of a stranger.
"Young Master, are there any other immortal cultivators around here?"
Chu Wuji looked around and saw the flying sword Mozhi passing over a thick cloud. A team of monks riding swords appeared next to it.
"They are the robes from Kongtong Mountain. They are traveling in a group of seven to handle the mission?"
Chapter 302 One dares to teach and the other dares to learn
Chu Wuji is a casual cultivator. When he is flying in the sky with a sword and meets other immortal cultivators, it is best not to approach them immediately.
Especially since he has a strong "demonic smell" and is accompanied by a dragon sister, his identity becomes even more sensitive.
It would be easy for the immortal cultivators to treat him as a demon cultivator. If one encountered an impatient immortal cultivator, a fight was bound to break out.
While Chu Wuzhi was observing the person opposite him, the person opposite him also noticed the stranger next to him, and looked at his outfit in confusion, trying to confirm his background.
Chu Wuji saluted from a distance to show his friendship.
The monk leading the Kongtong Mountain team returned the greeting and said politely:
"I am Xu Fuji, a disciple of Kongtong Mountain. I am leading my fellow disciples to carry out a mission for the sect. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist, and where you trained?"
The world is big, but the circle is small. When you meet someone you don’t know, just tell them the name of your master and show a token, and you can basically determine whether they are an enemy or a friend.
Chu Wuji didn't try to be mysterious and stated his identity directly:
"My name is Chu Wuji. I met the eldest senior sister from Kongtong Mountain once before in Chizhao Town in the Lihuo Mountains. We dealt with the golden-haired hyena together.
I wonder how the Gong family girl's cultivation in Kongtong Mountain is progressing?"
When the Golden Haired Hound and the zombie girl Gong Li were mentioned, several monks and disciples from Kongtong Mountain immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
They had heard about the incident in Chizhao Town last year. The eldest sister and several elders had come forward, so how could other disciples not know about it?
After several Kongtong Mountain monks confirmed that they were strangers from a friendly faction, their attitudes became much closer, and they discussed:
"Take the name Chu Wuji, why does it sound so familiar? It turns out to be the one from Chi Zhaozhen!"
"It seems that he is a disciple of Elder Ning of the Shenxiao Sect and possesses the flying sword Mozhi... Well, he is indeed the real one, not an imposter."
The team leader Xu Fuji raised his hand to ask his fellow disciples to be quiet. He turned his gaze back to Chu Wuji, with a look of respect that showed "the wisest are the teachers", which made Chu Wuji feel a little frightened.
What if I ask about the Taoist practice later, who can answer me?
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you are too modest. According to what Senior Sister said, you almost single-handedly dealt with the golden-haired beast, risking the threat of backlash from your good fortune, and resolved an old trouble for Kongtong Mountain.
As for the Gong family girl, she is being looked after by the senior sister. We rarely come into contact with her, so I don't know her details, but I heard she's a good person."
After Xu Fuji finished speaking, he slowly stopped saluting, put his hands behind his back, and his sleeves danced in the wind, looking very immortal.
Chu Wuji couldn't help but feel depressed. Using spiritual energy to control the sword to fly was indeed different from being dragged to fly. The swift and powerful wind was so gentle to him...
He nodded and said:
"Out of curiosity, what sect mission are you guys going to handle? If it's inconvenient, that's fine. I'm just curious."
"It's not a secret. The elders of several immortal families held a meeting a while ago to discuss arranging for their disciples to patrol those remote areas together to check for any abnormalities among the ancestral spirits."
"I see. I'm going to the Western Regions to meet up with some good friends. I thought you were going to attack some big guy!"
After a brief conversation, the disciples from Kongtong Mountain really came to ask about matters related to cultivation.
As soon as he came over, he said, "Excuse me for asking for advice." He was very humble, making it difficult for Chu Wuji to refuse...
Fortunately, they were asking about the magic spells and supernatural powers in the Yin Fu Jing, which really made Chu Wuji feel relieved.
The members of these Kongtong Mountain disciples are well-matched, with four old ones and three new ones.
The more experienced disciples must have learned the skills of the Yin Fu Jing, but their power is limited, and they are definitely unable to severely injure the Golden Haired Hound with one blow.
So I came to ask Chu Wuji for his experience.
Chu Wuji was sweating secretly, his brows furrowed, and he forced out a few words, saying in a serious tone:
"Understand the aura and spirit of the 'Earth Chapter' atlas. Don't dwell on it, feel it. I was able to master it so quickly because I had an advantage. I am the mountain god of the Lihuo Mountains, so I naturally have a deep understanding of the earth's murderous intent."
The disciples of Kongtong Mountain listened attentively one by one. Some of them touched their sleeves, as if they wanted to take out small notebooks to write down their manuscripts.
Xuanyin Star Lord stood by and remained silent throughout the whole process. She knew Chu Wuji's background and knew that he was not a serious cultivator.
The current scene is truly one of one daring to speak and the other daring to listen.
Xu Fuji seemed to be thinking deeply, and said, "Then let's find a mountain and observe the landslide up close. Can we understand the murderous intent of the earth?"
Chu Wuji made up a few more sentences, and really put himself into it. He shook his head and said:
"Just watching is not enough. Your starting point is too high. You have become gods in the eyes of mortals. A mountain is collapsing in front of you. Do you feel anything?
No, I can block it with a spell. I feel confident and fearless, but to ordinary people, the collapse of mountains is like a doomsday disaster!"
He stepped lightly on the flying sword Mozhi and almost lost his balance and fell down. Fortunately, he had good physical coordination and continued to speak as if nothing had happened:
"After flying in the sky for so long, you may have forgotten the true heaviness of the earth!"
Several disciples from Kongtong Mountain could not help but nod their heads, realizing something, and sighed:
"That's true. Whenever we comprehend the diagrams in the Yin Fu Jing, we revere the book itself and overlook the earth it points to..."
"Indeed, if you don't even know the murderous intent of the earth, and only rely on your imagination, how powerful can the magical powers you display be?"
A charming little fox head popped out from Chu Wuji's collar, and he commented earnestly:
"This is what is meant by: the opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao. The more you want to achieve a high level of effect, the more you have to start from the opposite direction, that is, to be low-key, humble and down-to-earth."
The disciples of Kongtong Mountain saluted solemnly again, their expressions serious and filled with the joy and excitement of having attained enlightenment.
“Teach me!”
"After this, we will need to temporarily suppress the thought that 'I am a cultivator' and face the mountain collapse with the mindset of a mortal. We might even 'die' in terror once. Perhaps only then will we understand the true meaning of this murderous intent."
"If the heart does not die, the Tao will not be born!"
Chu Wuji came to his senses at this time. Seeing that they had really listened and taken it seriously, he was very panicked. He was afraid that they would teach the disciples of Kongtong Mountain the wrong way.
He was just talking casually!
Xu Fuji shook his head, sighing that he had benefited a lot. He asked:
"This is a remote and deserted area. I wonder if Brother Chu could let us see it for ourselves?"
This requires him to demonstrate the magical power of "Earth Chapter".
Chu Wuji cleared his throat and frowned in annoyance:
"This may not be very convenient. I can't perform it without spiritual power."
"..."
The disciples of Kongtong Mountain were all stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
They thought that Chu Wuji was using a special magic weapon to hide his cultivation aura. He had said before that he was a mountain god, and that he wanted to resonate with the Lihuo Mountains in order to feel the murderous intent of the earth.
So, should I listen to all the notes I just took or not?
But they really think it makes sense!
After a moment of silence, a few polite yet elegant awkward smiles rang out among the clouds.
The disciples of Kongtong Mountain were very considerate of their friends and said flatteringly:
"After we finish our sect mission, we will definitely give it a try!"
Chu Wuji quickly found another topic to inquire about the situation of the senior sister from Kongtong Mountain.
Xu Fuji said, "As for Senior Sister Gu, I went to visit Xiaoyao Valley and check on the situation of Tiannu River. I heard that there was a big incident there a while ago."
Chu Wuji nodded as if it was none of his business. "I see. When I have time later, I will go visit Kongtong Mountain."
"Well, I heard that the evil cultivators of the Demonic Path have become more active recently. Brother Chu, please pay attention."
After a brief chat, Chu Wuji said goodbye to them on the pretext of changing his route.
In fact, he took a big detour to go to Huotang City, but he also entered the territory of the Western Regions. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was subtly different.
Considering the harmonious atmosphere in the team, Chu Wuji felt that he should talk to Sister Dragon Girl.
Don't let the team atmosphere become too silent just because of a pat on the butt.
"Xuan Yin Xingjun, you were strolling around the Sericulture Kingdom earlier. We saw you visiting the cliff plank path. Are there any other interesting places?"
"No, from the perspective of the river spirit, none of them are as ingenious as the water diversion dam."
We just started a conversation and haven't even started yet when the Fox Goddess interrupted us. She asked knowingly:
"Oh, what's going on? Why is the atmosphere so awkward? Are you hiding some secret from me?"
She repeatedly persuaded Long Nu and Chu Wuzhi to tell the secret, but Long Nu's face froze and she returned to her silent state, glaring at Chu Wuzhi with a slight annoyance.
Chapter 303 Western Regions
Shenxiao Sect,
After finishing her long retreat, Fu Guanyin left the small world of Shuajiu Peak and went to the top of the peak for a walk, preparing to thank and say goodbye to Jiuwu Taoist.
The blonde beauty with a unique exotic charm had just appeared on the platform at the top of the mountain when brisk footsteps were heard from the woods behind the courtyard. Two little girls in Taoist robes ran out and surrounded Fu Guanyin affectionately.
Fu Guanyin looked at the two horse girls, her plump red lips curled into a faint smile, and she gently stroked their little heads:
"Qianqian, Houhou, have you been well behaved these days?"
"Yes!" The horse girls nodded and reached out to hug the graceful hostess. They now knew how to use the human body a little.
"That's good. We're getting ready to go back. I'm sure you two miss home too~"
Just as Fu Guanyin inherited the naming ability from his father, he named the ponies Qianqian and Houhou to facilitate their queue order when escorting the animals.
Previously, they had names like Zuo, Zuo, You, but they found that if they called the two lambs and horses like this, they would mistakenly think it was an order and turn left and right at the same time. Once, they almost got "dismembered" by the carriage.
The names of the horses were decided later. After all, horses rarely walk backwards, so it is not easy to cause trouble.
"Sister Fu, are you leaving?" A tall figure walked out from the inner room.
She had pigtails and when she walked out the door, she had to walk sideways because her shoulder muscles were too developed. Then, with her fists clenched, she trotted over like a lady and touched the two pony girls.
Fu Guanyin had been asked to buy some food recently. Before leaving, she made a sweet cake for the little sister Quan Leida and said:
"Here are the candies. One portion is for Jiuwu-senpai, but I think she will give it to you."
Stir-fried dishes can be served as snacks, but sweets and cakes are really not suitable as they will affect the taste buds when drinking. Unfortunately, Fu Guanyin doesn't know any other cooking skills.
Since I don’t have any gifts that I can afford, I can only express my gratitude through some small tokens.
The little sister Quan Leida ate a piece of candy cake. It was so delicious that her eyes widened like bells and she praised it as "delicious".
Fu Guanyin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Where has Senior Jiuwu gone? I was planning to say goodbye and leave the Shenxiao Sect. I've been bothering you for a long time."
Quan Lei Da thought for a moment. Master's whereabouts would not be disclosed to his disciples, but by calculating the days, he could roughly know. The eldest sister counted on her fingers and said:
"Master hasn't been out for a while, and now he's not in the sect. He must have gone out to look for some wine. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."
Fu Guanyin was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"Is that so... But Master Chu and I have an appointment to meet in Huotang City, so I can't keep you waiting any longer."
"It's a small matter. Master won't care about these formalities. I will explain the situation to her."
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoquan!"
