Aunt Green Snake thought it made sense. She was just being lazy and tired of cleaning the bottles here, and had wanted to take a break for a long time. It would be nice to go up and see the scenery!
"Okay, I'll come up right away."
The girl put the white porcelain vase away, her body transformed into a slender green light, flew out of the house, slipped into Chu Wuzhi's sleeves, and comfortably returned to her familiar territory.
Chu Wuzhi continued to work. The green snake would stick its head out from time to time and look at the blue sky and white clouds. Occasionally, Chu Wuzhi picked up a tile and was about to put it down, but the green snake would bite it and put it down, then say, "I'm so tired."
Suddenly, Chu Wuzhi's body stiffened, his eyes became sharp, staring at the bone knife at his waist, the patterns on the back of the knife glowing.
"I'm going back to the palace and will come back later!"
His voice was still echoing in the air when a figure was already rushing towards Prince Jing'an's Mansion. Bai Sujin did not stand there in a daze. She followed her son's pace and slipped into his sleeve.
Both the White Snake and the Green Snake were puzzled, but they did not rush to ask questions. Instead, they watched silently.
Chu Wuji quickly came to the side of Princess Jing'an. When the Sky Fox Queen sensed Chu Wuji's hurried return, she had already taken control of the beautiful woman's body in advance.
"Someone from Wuzhong is here to contact us!" He took out the bone knife.
"Could it be that I really have a chance to be an undercover agent for fun~?" The Sky Fox Queen said with a smile.
She shook her tail and a magical little fox jumped out. The little fox was still round because there were two souls imprisoned in its belly.
It spat out the souls, forced them to exert a little power, and injected it into the patterns on the Senbai Bone Knife.
After a while, the light of the engraving dissipated, and the contact with the Wuzhong people ended.
Aunt Green Snake didn't dare touch the bone knife, fearing that she would ruin things. She asked:
"What's the situation now?"
Chapter 342 I call you, do you dare to answer?
Chu Wuji confirmed that the bone knife had no more movement, then relaxed his attention and explained:
"This engraving on the back of the knife indicates someone from the Wuzhong Tomb is contacting me. I just asked the Heavenly Fox Goddess to respond in order to deceive this aura and gain their trust."
Aunt Green Snake was still pondering and integrating information. Bai Sujin had already figured it out almost completely:
"We agreed before that we would try to make contact as much as possible. But from what you and Senior Tianhu said, you're planning to infiltrate the Witch Tomb?"
Chu Wuji was in a good mood, and the gloom he had felt over the past few days had faded a lot. What he feared most was that he would not get any contact from Wuzhong, and then this plan would be in vain.
I didn’t expect to get in touch so soon. I’m really lucky!
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Let's set a goal. Whether I can really get in is still an unknown, but if there is this opportunity, I will definitely move towards it!"
The Fox Goddess flicked the translucent magical little fox, and it opened its mouth wide and sucked hard, swallowing the two souls directly back into its stomach.
Others might not have felt it clearly, but the Sky Fox Goddess could clearly see that the power of the two souls had been lost without her noticing, an uncontrollable loss. She had just squeezed a little more power into the bone knife, and the souls had become much weaker.
The fox girl sighed with luck:
"These two souls cannot be restrained forever. I'm afraid they will disperse in two or three months. Fortunately, we contacted them quickly. If we had been any later, we would not have been able to deceive them this time."
After hearing the discussion, Aunt Green Snake picked up the bone knife and tried to swing it. The feel was not very good and the center of gravity was very poor. It was probably just used as a magic weapon.
She didn't understand what was going on, so she asked curiously:
"And then, just now, there was a flash of light and an exchange of auras, and that's it? We don't even know the content of the other party's communication."
Bai Sujin showed a worried look:
"What if they chase us all the way to Lihuo Country? That could easily endanger the peace of the people here!"
Aunt Green Snake's thoughts were still clear when it came to laziness. She reminded:
"Sister, are you confused? This is the territory of the Shenxiao Sect. If someone from Wuzhong dares to come here, the immortal cultivators will probably be even more excited."
"Indeed..." Bai Sujin suddenly realized that she was so concerned that she forgot the existence of Shenxiao Sect.
The elders of the immortal family had discussed before that the area where the spirits of the ancestors appeared was far away from the influence of the immortal sect, and they were deliberately avoiding them.
This style of behavior made it impossible for the immortals to obtain any information about these people for a long time, as they appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
Chu Wuji didn't care about being happy. He talked about his current headache:
"Anyway, this method of communication provides too little information. We currently don't know what the other party is here for. Are they trying to confirm the safety of the Wuqi people?"
The women shook their heads. Even the Fox Goddess could not explain this problem because there was no clue. The bone knife just emitted a beam of light and no other information was transmitted.
"Senior Tianhu, has this bone knife locked onto Wu Ji's location?" Bai Sujin was summarizing the information and trying to give her son an idea for a plan.
Even if it cannot be adopted, it can be used as a reference for him.
The Fox Goddess shrugged her smooth shoulders and sighed regretfully:
"No, the breath just now was quite 'clean'. If they dare to lock onto my breath, I would be happy to see that~"
Several people thought of the situation in Jintai Temple at the same time. After the bell was activated, the sound locked onto the breath of the group. The Tianlong monk had just threatened to chase them to the ends of the earth, but the Sky Fox Goddess directly followed the "network cable" to chase them.
Goddess Tianhu helps analyze the effect of this engraving:
"The bone knife's contact this time was like dropping a small stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.
If the ripples from both sides collide, they can instantly know each other's position."
Chu Wuji's expression was solemn, and he felt that the situation was not what he expected. He said:
"But now we didn't touch each other, so the contact just now was invalid. Were we so happy for nothing?!"
When the Fox Goddess heard his tone, she suddenly became anxious and poked his cheek cheerfully:
"Young Master, why are you so anxious? This ripple has spread out, and its effect has already been felt. The other party will know that we have been active near the Fire Nation recently.
If they really want to find us, they have to contact us again to further confirm our exact location!"
Their side still knows too little about the witch's tomb, and they are unable to analyze the carvings on the bone knife in detail. The Sky Fox Goddess can only rely on her own strength and background, and wait for the aura of the carvings to be triggered before making an assessment.
However, even great monks find it difficult to perform this temporary analysis, and this is even their goal.
He could see through minor spells, but not complex ones. If one had the ability of the Sky Fox Goddess, it would be like the moment the opponent cast a spell, a huge butt would be exposed in front of him.
Aunt Green Snake was very dissatisfied when she saw the fox girl poking her face. How could she let outsiders play with her own boy like this?
If anyone wants to play, I’ll be the one to play!
She reached out and pinched Chu Wuzhi's other cheek.
Bai Sujin gradually understood the situation. She slapped Qingshe's hand away to stop her from causing trouble and returned to the topic seriously:
"I roughly understand that the soul aura that Senior Tianhu just sent out is weak. Is this to lure the other party out of the cave and come to rescue his companions?"
The Fox Goddess nodded. She liked the feeling of talking to smart people.
"Hmm~ I have to seal the bone knife tightly for the time being, and then release it after a while, pretending to be hiding my whereabouts!"
Speaking of smart people, we have to mention two not-so-smart guys.
Qing Snake and Chu Wuzhi have similar personalities and can only understand three pieces of information: "when to act", "where the enemy is", and "who the enemy is".
The difference between the two is that Qing Snake is too impatient to listen to other information and can only understand these three simple ones.
Chu Wuji was calmly anxious. When he really got serious, even "who the enemy is" no longer mattered. He basically just wanted to kill the enemy, and the opponent's strength was not within his consideration.
"Then we have to prepare in advance and wait for them to come and support their companions."

In the desolate land,
The two men and women from the Three Bodies Country were so excited that they punched and smashed the tombstones of their old friends.
The man clenched his fist and said, "The Wuqi people's aura is very weak. They are probably injured by the spirits of their sacrificed ancestors. They want us to protect them."
The three women pieced the stone tablets together, pondered the location of Wuqiren's bone knife, and then muttered:
"That's not right. How could they have managed to escape into the territory of a cultivator sect when they were so weak? If their identities were exposed, wouldn't they have no chance of escape?"
In today's world, weak creatures are in power and their numbers have multiplied to an incredible level. In the Great Wilderness, the human race was not worthy of such a population, let alone becoming a king and establishing a country.
However, the immortal sects are still worthy of vigilance, as the great cultivators therein all have extremely powerful cultivation abilities.
The members of the Wuzhong sect who are responsible for gathering the calamities outside are not afraid of a one-on-one fight with a great monk. They have the strength to fight life and death, but the great monk of the immortal family will not give them a chance to fight one-on-one.
The three-body man came up with a reasonable explanation:
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as they can conceal their aura, it won't be so easy for the immortal cultivators to find them!"
"That makes sense. It seems they are really seriously injured. They risked hiding in a place like this. We can't let others find out about their situation. They are a piece of juicy meat now!"
Thinking of this, the man and woman couldn't help but become anxious. They didn't have many chances left. Taking away the bone knife from Wuqi Country was almost their only chance, and they must not let anyone get there first!
At the end of a fork in the underground maze, they dug out the weapons that their tribe had sealed away in the past, and picked out some that had not yet decayed.
After completing their preparations, they put on their cloaks and their bodies began to shrink to the height of ordinary humans. They walked out of the earth veins and disappeared into the wilderness.
"Let's go, let's head towards that direction first and see when the people from Wuqi Nation dare to respond to us again!"
Chapter 343 Encounter on the street
On the Zhuying Peak of Shenxiao Mountain, the clouds and mist are still there, appearing ethereal.
Being here, watching the clouds roll by and unfold, every day and night seems to become longer, and it really feels like "one day in heaven is one year on earth".
Inside Madam Jiang and Yun Qingying's house, mother and daughter locked the doors and windows tightly as they dealt with some awkward matters. Although a spell could conceal the situation inside, Master Ning Xianzhi might accidentally walk in.
Even though it was harmless and Ning Xianzhi already knew about it, it would still be a bit embarrassing if he was caught.
A beautiful girl in white silk stockings, holding a towel in one hand and a bowl in the other, stood in front of Mrs. Jiang and helped her to receive food and water. Half of the bowl was full.
"Qingying, go wash the towel. Mother can carry it herself..." Mrs. Jiang said apologetically.
This condition of hers had clearly disappeared after she fed Chu Wuzhi once in the waterfall cave, as if she had resolved the regret of not being able to feed her eldest son and no longer suffered from the problem of overflowing.
However, recently Mrs. Jiang started to produce grain again. She didn't know why, so she had no choice but to ask Ning Xianzhi. The explanation she got was that it was a normal reaction during the body's transformation process. The spiritual energy she had breathed in and out was nourishing Mrs. Jiang's body, and every part of her body was repairing and transforming.
Then there will be a reaction, which is different for everyone. When this stage is over, everything will slowly return to normal.
Yun Qingying came to the basin of water and wrung out a towel full of grain water with a rich and wonderful fragrance. She rubbed the towel again and returned to Madam Jiang and said:
"It's just a small matter. Don't bother me, mother. Do you want me to go down the mountain and buy you a few more bellybands so that you can change them frequently?"
Mrs. Jiang handed the bowl to her daughter, took the towel and wiped it herself, smiling and said:
"Master Ning said that we shouldn't pursue the enjoyment of clothing. We can just use magic to clean it up. It's much more convenient than Qingying running down the mountain."
Yun Qingying did not argue with her mother about whether it was feasible to use magic to clean it up.
She only remembered that a few days ago, her mother used magic to wash her underwear, which resulted in the spiritual energy in her body overflowing even more. The plump Mrs. Jiang could only squat on the ground, looking at a loss, and tried to cover the source with her hands.
It was Yun Qingying who cleaned up the mess afterwards...
The girl's pretty face didn't show much expression, but her eyes showed a hint of concern:
"Master set the rules earlier because she was afraid that Mother would adopt the pampered habits of a wealthy lady and pursue extravagance in food, clothing, and daily necessities. Now, Mother, you just need it, not for enjoyment. Master won't blame you."
Mrs. Jiang didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. The more she talked, the more awkward it became. She counted the days and looked out the window with a bit of worry:
"Qingying, where's your brother? It seems like I haven't seen him for a few months. It's already been a whole spring down the mountain, right?"
In the Shenxiao Sect, there is almost only the distinction between morning and evening, and the change of seasons is not obvious. If Mrs. Jiang had not occasionally gone out for a walk, she would not have realized that time passed so quickly.
Yun Qingying nodded and said:
"That guy's on a long journey. It's quite far, and it'll probably take him quite some time. A while ago, Senior Jiujiu brought back news that he's almost back. He's probably in the capital now, but he hasn't come up the mountain yet..."
Also, I am the senior sister and he is the junior brother, the seniority cannot be messed up!"
Mrs. Jiang did not laugh at her daughter's calculations. She could read her daughter's subtle emotional changes and knew that the girl was also worried about Chu Wuji. She said:
"The place he's going is quite far. Could it be that he's like the other elders, traveling for decades at a time? Even though monks have long lifespans, this is still a bit too long..."
Yun Qingying stopped talking. She couldn't tell what Chu Wuji was doing. She knew when he went out, but she didn't know when he would return.
There are many elders from the Immortal Peaks in the Shenxiao Sect, all of whom are in a wandering state. It was not until a while ago when the elders came back together for a banquet and gathering that Yun Qingying realized that there were so many fellow elders.
Compared with those old guys, the going out of Jiujiu’s predecessors can’t be considered as “wandering outside all year round”. They just go out to look for wine and come back after a few months at most.
After squeezing for a long time, today's meal was finally cleared. Madam Jiang tidied her clothes and suddenly remembered something:
