You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

The girls also took a curious look inside and saw a group of drunken men inside. They consciously stayed away and had no intention of getting close.

As the evening approached——

There were no festivals at the end of May, so the city was naturally under curfew and every household had their doors closed. The two men and the snake had no intention of going their own way, so they went back to the inn obediently.

After dinner, the little fox sat obediently in front of the window and recited scriptures. Xiao Qingxin kicked her white silk feet boredly and stared out the window in a daze, ready to answer her disciple's questions at any time.

Just when I was bored, purple air suddenly floated in from the horizon outside the window, reaching as far as three thousand miles away, accompanied by a thousand-foot-long rosy glow.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was the saint traveling. He quickly patted the white snake in his arms and whispered, "Zhiming, come out and take a look?"

Xia Zhiming nuzzled the girl's exceptionally tender skin and lazily said, "What's so good about this? The monkey was stopped by the Lion King on Mount Futu, and this is the Buddha coming to rescue him."

Xiao Qingxin: "Is this true?"

Little Fox: "Brother Zhiming, how did you know?"

Xia Zhiming said softly, "Really? After all, we've received the Jade Emperor's decree. We can't just sit back and do nothing. Of course, we'll check on the situation when we have time."

"I thought you were just taking advantage of me, but I didn't expect you to do something serious..."

"What are you talking about! What are you talking about! How can I be considered taking advantage of my own wife by being intimate with her?"

……

The next day—

Qingxin woke up from her dream, reached out and patted the white snake in her arms. After he calmed down a little, she rubbed her sleepy eyes helplessly and sat up.

At the same time, the little fox had also woken up, sat up and stretched, revealing her delicate body under the gauze nightgown. Qingxin couldn't help but be distracted by the sight, thinking that the fox spirit was worthy of her reputation, and had completely forgotten that she was dressed the same way.

Not long after, when Xia Zhiming lazily climbed onto the girl's shoulder and looked at the little fox in gauze helping Qingxin comb her hair, the gauze dress swayed, and the jade-like and cherry-like skin was even more captivating in the hazy light, which gave him a lot of visual feast.

Ever since he saw through the little fox in the Sanxing Cave last time, the little fox is now so upright in front of him, and seems to regard itself as a dry bone. It is not known whether it has had a sudden enlightenment or has completely given up.

Behind him, the little fox seemed unaware of the white snake's prying and was busy helping Qingxin comb her hair and tidy her temples, completely forgetting about it.

Qingxin, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, naturally noticed this situation, but she didn't take it too seriously. If her own snake didn't care, she wouldn't mind raising a fox to save herself from being tormented all day and night.

Unfortunately, Snake's possessiveness towards her was too unexpected, even though the little fox was obviously the one being protected, the reason for this was because the little fox had looked at her body, and Snake was staring at it and on guard, fearing that the little fox would steal her home.

In short, it is difficult to comment on this matter, so it is better to let nature take its course.

Soon, the little fox tied up Qingxin's hair, inserted a hairpin, and reached out to try to take off the white snake from her neck, but she saw that Qingxin had already stood up, dodged her movements, and pressed her shoulders against the dressing mirror.

Seeing this, the little fox tilted his head in some confusion, but finally sat down on the chair obediently - why does it feel like Sister Qingxin has been acting weird lately?

Xia Zhiming: To be honest, I think so too.

After packing their clothes, the two men and the snake had breakfast and decided not to stay in Wangyan City for long. They checked out of the room and walked out of the city directly.

Outside the city, Qing Xin used the art of visualizing the energy, and took a last look at the city behind him. He saw the whole city was filled with Buddha's light, and the human life mixed with the smell of incense was crumbling. Then he looked at the demonic energy stretching for three hundred miles in the mountains outside the city. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only leave in disappointment on his cloud.

She has swept away all the demons and passed down the true method. She hopes that the next time she comes here, things will be better.

Qingxin City.

In the teahouse, the storyteller unfolded his folding fan and said aloud, "The last chapter tells of a time in Qingxin City when a roc invaded from the sky and lions lurked in the mountains. The Qingxin Emperor summoned all the immortals to restore order to the world."

"Legend has it that when the Emperor was setting out on his campaign, he said: '...'"

Xia Zhiming poked his head out and said, "In this world, many demons and gods have risen up. Although I have no intention of competing with them, I understand the suffering of the people."

"Zhiming, don't interrupt."

"I can't help it. The sense of déjà vu is too strong."

Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue, looked around, and sighed: "Back then, the Lion Country was slaughtered and nine out of ten houses were destroyed. I didn't expect it to be so prosperous three hundred years later. It's quite impressive."

After leaving Wangyan City, the two men and the snake had nowhere to go. After much thought, they decided to bring the little fox to Kutuo Mountain to let her see their own Taoist temple. Unexpectedly, when they passed by the former capital of Kutuo Kingdom, they actually got a surprise.

"Brother, eat lychees." The little fox beside him fed him a piece of fruit and asked curiously: "Did Sister Qingxin really do these things before?"

"Why not?"

Xia Zhiming spoke with a touch of exaggeration: "Thinking back to the past, I, the Great Emperor Qingxin, held the sun and moon in my hands, stepped on the stars, and ruled the universe. I could shatter three thousand worlds with a snap of my fingers and burn the nine heavens with a single thought. The Golden Pool Peng, the Blue Lion and the White Elephant were nothing more than that."

"Zhi Ming!!!"

"Stop knocking! Stop knocking! My head hurts!"

"Cuckoo~"

Chapter 237: If you rub it with your hands, it’s not a pill?

On the stage, the storyteller talked about the past and present, telling the secret history of Qingxin City in the past.

In the corner of the teahouse, the two people and the snake sometimes listened attentively, sometimes chatted, as if they were alone and out of the world.

As they were chatting enthusiastically, the sound of a gong suddenly rang out outside the teahouse, causing everyone in the room to frown. The storyteller on the stage naturally stopped, and everyone looked out the door together, and saw—

"Look, look! Horses for sale! Fine BMWs for sale!"

Outside the teahouse, a man in coarse cloth was beating a gong and shouting loudly. Beside him lay a rather skinny white horse, attracting many passers-by to stop and look.

At this time, the onlookers also saw the "fine BMW" clearly. They thought that this man was just trying to attract attention, so most of them took a look and left. However, there was a merchant who was interested and asked in a gentle voice: "Good man, how much do you want for this horse?"

The man, seeing someone asking for the price, said happily, "My BMW is priced at one hundred taels. If you're willing to pay, I'll sell it to you for eighty taels. How about that?"

The merchant's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said indignantly, "You dishonest man! Are you taking advantage of me because I don't know how to judge a horse? This horse is not only skinny, but it's also lying on the ground, clearly ill. It might die in a few days. How can it be called a fine horse? How dare you ask for a hundred taels of silver?"

"You are blind to the gold and jade, and you can't recognize my BMW!"

At this point, the man's face suddenly changed, and he spoke with a weak breath, "A few days ago, my brother was leading his horse into the city and happened to see someone drowning in the moat. It was this fine horse of ours that pulled free the reins and rushed into the river, saving the drowning person. How can such a good horse that protects people not be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver?"

Hearing what he said, the people who were watching the show immediately started talking.

"true?"

"Yes, there is. A few days ago, I heard the teacher at the school talk about it. He quoted it as a good story and called it the 'White Dragon Horse'."

"So this horse really does understand human nature. It's a pity that horses are precious. Maybe it's sick because of water in its lungs. Otherwise, it would definitely sell for a good price."

"What a pity! The horse is still young. If we can rescue it, we can raise it to a stronger state and then sell it. Otherwise, we will just have to slaughter it and lose everything."

……

Hearing the discussions of the people around them, the two men and the snake also glanced at the white horse. Seeing that it was being watched by everyone, its blue eyes secretly shed tears, and it was obviously very frightened, as if it had possessed a spirit.

Seeing this, the two people and the snake all had ideas. The little fox was the first to ask, "Sister Qingxin, this horse understands human nature. Should we buy it for transportation?"

Xia Zhiming immediately leaned forward upon hearing this and said, "My Qingxin doesn't need a mount!!!"

"Brother Zhiming, what about me?"

"You want Qingxin to be your mount? Well... your father mentioned this before. I'll think about it..."

Xia Zhiming looked up at the sky and started to make jokes.

Qingxin:→_→Little Fox:←_←

While the three of them were chatting, the people outside the door also stopped talking. The rich businessman and the man also had an argument. One said that the seller was asking for an exorbitant price, and the other said that the buyer didn't know what a BMW was.

Just as the two men were arguing fiercely, a middle-aged Taoist priest pushed through the crowd and said to the man selling the horse, "My dear brother, I am willing to pay you eighty taels of silver. I wonder if you can give me this?"

Hearing his words, the two men, the snake, and everyone else in the field looked towards the Taoist priest, and saw him—

He wore a bright red crown with gold inlay, a black robe, a pair of green cloud-shaped shoes, and a yellow Lu Gong sash.

His face was as hard as iron, his eyes as bright as stars. His nose was pointed like a Huihui, his lips parted like a dada. His heart of Taoism was like thunder, a true Taoist who could subdue tigers and dragons.

Summary: Baimu Taoist.

Seeing an acquaintance, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming looked at each other, both a little surprised - it was fate!

Seeing someone buying a horse, the man stopped arguing with the merchant and quickly returned the greeting, saying sternly, "I can't say I'm going to give it up. If you're not trying to fool me, just pay the money and take the horse away."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist Baimu did not refuse. He fished out a small gold ingot from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Here are ten taels of gold. I wonder if you would like to accept it? If not, you can go with me to a bank to exchange it for silver."

"Collect! Collect! Collect!"

The man was very willing to do so. He said it three times and quickly snatched the gold ingot. He handed the horse rein beside him to Baimu, as if he was afraid that Baimu would go back on his word.

Although ten taels of gold and eighty taels of silver are exactly equivalent in the current market, no one in this world is a fool. Gold is a rare commodity. Who would be foolish enough to exchange gold for silver?

Seeing him so anxious, Baimu Taoist was not surprised. He took the horse reins and bent down, looking at the sick white horse on the ground. After thinking for a while, he took out a gray "pill" from his sleeve and bent down to feed it to the horse.

The little fox's nose twitched slightly, smelling the slightly sweet scent of herbs in the air. He turned to look at the man and snake beside him. Just as he was about to ask what kind of precious elixir this was, Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue and grumbled, "Any elixir that leaves the furnace should be free from substance and form, as if it were made by nature. But you, on the other hand, took honey and mixed it with medicinal residue and rubbed it into a pill with your hands. How did you become an apprentice, Baimu?"

In the field, Taoist Baimu was looking at the white horse that instantly became energetic after happily eating the precious pill, and was just about to enjoy the exclamations of the onlookers, but his face suddenly became a little unnatural when he heard these words.

It’s broken! My show-off failed!

Chapter 238 Who is the local?

"Why did you come here?"

In the teahouse, Xia Zhiming wagged his tail and handed Baimu tea, then asked him why he came.

Across from him, the Taoist Baimu took the tea with both hands and replied respectfully, "To answer my uncle's question, my fellow apprentice sisters and I returned to our hometown after completing our apprenticeship. Lately, I've been feeling restless and want to go out for a walk in the city."

Qing Xin heard this and asked curiously, "Bai Zhi and the others are here too?"

Baimu shook his head. "No, there's a spring east of here that washes away dirt. They went there half a month ago, clamoring to bathe in the essence of heaven and earth. They haven't returned yet, and no one knows when they'll be back."

Xia Zhiming: "The Washing Spring..."

If he remembered correctly, this place was transformed from the golden crow that Yi shot down nine suns. It was said that the seven fairies in heaven would go there to wash themselves, but he didn't know if it was true.

"Zhiming, what's wrong?"

Xia Zhiming briefly explained the legend of Zhuo Gu Spring to Qing Xin and joked, "These Seven Fairies are probably referring to the Seven Fairies of Yaochi, the ones who sent us the invitation. I don't know what they were thinking. Going to the hot spring in broad daylight, what if someone accidentally sees your body?"

"I do know this," the little fox beside him said timidly, "The fairies in our mansion also need to cleanse themselves and bathe every day. They say this is a rule set by the Queen Mother. These spiritual springs are said to be magical in their circle, but most of them can't descend to the mortal world, so..."

"Don't say anymore. I understand. Is it possible to make a difference between them by just taking a bath? Today I'll add a handful of fairy spring water, and tomorrow I'll add a pot of floral dew."

The little fox blushed and waved his hands, saying, "Brother Zhiming, please don't let the fairy in the mansion hear what you said."

"Look at you, have you tried it before? Then let's go to the Zhuo Gu Spring in a few days and let you experience being a superior person for once."

Little Fox: "Woo-woo!"

Qingxin: "Puff~!"

On the opposite side, Baimu saw the two women and the snake chatting happily, but did not dare to interrupt. He kept his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart, emphasizing that you can't see me.

Seeing how restrained he was, Xia Zhiming finally remembered that he was the elder. He then raised his snake body and asked with a smile, "So, what's the matter with your weird alchemy skills?"

"Uncle Master, you may not know this," Baimu said, bowing awkwardly. "Back when I was studying in Yingchoujian, I was single-mindedly pursuing the path of the Golden Elixir. Now that I've returned home, I'm broke, so I've started studying the art of Qi Huang and have come up with a method for refining medicine myself."

Qing Xin tilted her head: "Refine medicine?"

"Taking the essence of medicinal materials and applying the art of alchemy, it's easy to cure the disease. However, the resulting medicine isn't very good-looking. I don't know which step went wrong."

At this point, Baimu fished out a grayish "pill" from his sleeve and said excitedly, "This is the lung-clearing pill I fed the horse just now. The white horse had phlegm in its lungs that wouldn't be digested. I used the wisp of immortal energy in the pill to keep it alive, supplemented it with medicine to clear its lungs, and then repair its body damage..."

After listening to his long speech quietly, Xia Zhiming pondered it carefully and suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did this Qingfei Pill give him a strange sense of déjà vu? He couldn't help but ask, "Bai Mu, how did you learn the art of Qi Huang?"

"I took hundreds of herbs orally and used introspection to observe the changes and damage to my body. It didn't take many days for me to learn everything."

"Who taught you to study medicine like this?"

Baimu lowered his head in shame: "Junior is stupid..."

Seeing his complete lack of self-awareness, Xia Zhiming was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No, you are actually a genius. Don't bother with this alchemy technique. It's a complete waste of time."

"But……"

"Don't worry about that. Go back and study your medical skills. Record pathology, pharmacology, physiology, and everything you can observe through introspection. If you can write a book and spread it around the world, even ordinary people can understand the principles..."

At this point, Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue and said with a smile: "Then I will go to the Three Emperors and ask for an immortal official position for you."

Baimu: "!!!"

Little Fox: "!!!"

Qingxin: "???"
