Everyone saw it, but they were just too embarrassed to expose it.
"Then, Master Taibu, do you have any other instructions?"
In order to make Xianzhou feel more at ease when he reimburses the bill later, Wendy gave a polite smile.
"It's not really an order. I'm just curious about your past and future—"
Fu Xuan shook her head. She really couldn't trust this unpredictable bard as much as Jing Yuan did.
"The general told me that you are trustworthy, but as for me, I prefer to believe what I hear and what I see."
"Then how much of a shrewd guess has Master Taibu seen through?"
"One part guilty conscience, two parts friendly, and three parts asking for something. That's all."
Although the words were not very pleasant to hear, Fu Xuan did not bother to hide them. She also knew that the other party would not be angry about this at all, otherwise he would have turned against her as early as when he was riding in the sky.
"Hmm, as expected of you, Master Taibu, known as the 'Flawless Eye'? I almost feel like you can read my mind."
"I'm not good at this. But... I'll keep an eye on you. I hope you don't do anything that betrays the general's trust."
Fu Xuan's expression was very serious, but Wendy didn't think so. He just waved his hand, his tone light and playful.
"Although a good bard isn't afraid of the audience's gaze, as a personal reminder, I still hope that Master Taibu will pay a little attention and not overuse your eyes. After all, you've sacrificed a lot for that eye, haven't you?"
"...Of course I understand."
"Then please wait for the world's greatest bard to perform at the best viewing platform!"
After saying goodbye to Fu Xuan, who obviously had something to ask, Wendy caught up with everyone waiting for him in front in just a few steps, with a happy smile.
"Everyone, we've been waiting for so long! Let's get moving quickly and don't waste this cool breeze!"
"You are quite talkative. What did you say to that fortune teller in the back just now?"
Sanyueqi wanted to pinch Wendy's face, but he dodged it nimbly, leaving only his head exposed next to Uncle Yang.
"Don't accuse people wrongly. I just said hello to that fortune teller. It's probably like, 'If you have money, you can show your support financially, if you don't have money, you can show your support in person.'"
"You talk like one of those street performers here on Xianzhou. So, are you planning on breaking rocks with your chest, or eating noodles while standing on your head?"
"Yeah...this business hasn't gotten this far yet, has it?"
Wendy twisted her hanging pigtails and said awkwardly.
"Besides, if we go over like this and get hammered, I'll have a hard time defending myself if people say I'm flat-chested or something like that."
"Pfft. You really are planning to have one."
Sanyueqi was laughing so hard that he could hardly stand up straight, while Xing looked regretful.
She thought she could be the one to get hammered, and Uncle Yang would be in charge of filming and editing, so there was no need to worry about it not becoming a big hit.
"Okay. If you're interested in developing a hobby, Himeko and I will support you. But it's almost noon now, so let's go get something to eat first and then go find Miss Aokazu."
Walter pushed his glasses and brought the topic back to where it was about to go astray in time.
He had left in a hurry this morning, and the children hadn't eaten yet. He couldn't possibly let them continue running up and down the immortal boat on an empty stomach. The Taibu Division would probably be busy for a while anyway, so there was no rush.
After hearing what Uncle Yang said, March 7 was the first to respond, and Xing cheered with her.
As for Wendy, he had long been attracted by the aroma of food on the street, and now stopped in front of a small shop with a rather retro decoration.
"Everyone, there are shrimp dumplings here!"
Although she doesn't look like a Xianzhou person and her dress gives off a foreign vibe, for some reason, everyone feels that this sentence is not strange at all coming from Wendy's mouth.
In response to his call, the pioneers also went there to order food, and as soon as they sat down, Walter felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He subconsciously turned around, but the owner of his sight was sitting upright, holding the menu tightly in his little hand, with his face hidden behind the menu. Only a pair of cute and exquisite dragon horns were exposed, and next to it was a beautiful dragon tail that had nowhere to go.
Uncle Yang's actions also attracted March Seven's attention. She looked over there and her eyes lit up.
"Oh! It's a dragon horn and a dragon tail, similar to what Dan Heng looked like before."
Although San Yueqi was not a loud voice, there were no other customers in the shop. The girl in the back seat heard it clearly, but she just tilted her head and did not show any abnormality.
"Ahem. Xiao Sanyue, there are other guests here, please don't disturb them."
Unlike the careless March 7, Walter still remembered why Dan Heng couldn't come down, so he could only lower his voice to remind him.
When she came to her senses, she smiled sheepishly and quickly squeezed over to Wendy and Xing to look at the menu.
During this time, everyone controlled their voices and didn't say anything they shouldn't, and the little girl didn't do anything like reporting the Cloud Cavalry, which made Walter feel a little more at ease.
I guess this little girl hasn't heard her family mention her yet, that's good—
Following the principle of less trouble is better, after the dishes were served at the restaurant, everyone chatted and ate normally.
The little girl, who originally wanted to eavesdrop on something, was also attracted by the sumptuous dishes on the table and her mouth was watering.
She looked so pitiful, like a rich girl who ran away from home without any money.
While Uncle Yang was thinking about how to invite them to dinner, Wendy had already warmly invited them over.
"Hello, little sister. Where are your parents? Why are you alone in the restaurant?"
"You mean this lady?"
The little girl from the Chiming tribe wiped her saliva, looked around, and then pointed at herself.
"Of course, you're the only little sister here, aren't you?"
"Who are you calling a little sister? I'm not a child. I'm Bai Lu, and I have a position at the Dan Ding Division!"
The girl who called herself Bailu pounded the table in anger, which immediately attracted the resentful gaze of the store owner, which made her tail, which had been lifted up, suddenly droop down. She could only turn her head and apologize in a low voice with some embarrassment.
"Then Miss Bailu, would you like to come and eat with us?"
The poet on the other side didn't seem to mind, remaining kind and gentle. Bai Lu felt as if he had some extra sausages and was kindly feeding them to a street dog.
However, my stomach is rumbling now and I don't have a penny on me. If I go up to them and ask them if they are sick, I will be kicked out if I use my medical expenses to replace my meals.
There was no other way. The strong-willed Miss Bai Lu could only swallow her pride and follow her heart.
"……want."
Although he acted very tough before, when it comes to eating, this guy is really a glutton (no offense).
Originally, San Yueqi wanted to tease others, but the hungry ghost look on his face scared her. She had only seen this kind of eating behavior on Xing.
So, out of concern, March Seven asked, "So, Miss Bailu, where is your father?"
"I don't have a father."
"What about your mother?"
"I'm not numb either."
Bai Lu said vaguely while stuffing a chicken leg into her mouth.
"..."
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became awkward.
When San Yueqi was thinking about how to explain the saying "Humans are born from their mothers, and monsters are born from their mothers", a scream suddenly came from outside.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Huh?! What happened?"
Sanyueqi was closest to the store door, and she leaned back and looked outside the store door as if she had been saved.
There seemed to be a group of people gathered there, discussing something in a mess: "Go find the Yunqi Army!"; "Where are the doctors from the Danding Division?"; "Stay away, someone is possessed by a demon!"
"Is it like you're talking about Konjac?"
Bai Lu tilted her head and didn't hear clearly for a moment.
But the next sound was even more tragic.
"Ahh! The Cloud Cavalry is about to fall into the demonic body!"
"puff--!"
Bai Lu suddenly spat out the rice, jumped off the chair quickly, and ran out the door.
Although it is small in size, its voice is very loud.
"Everyone stand back!"
As she shouted, she jumped up with a "Hey Ha" and, like a cute dragon crossing the river, lashed the newly revived demonic soldier with her tail.
Perhaps because he had just completed the transformation, the soldier was unable to get up for a while. Bai Lu also took off the medicine gourd from his waist and signaled the person next to him who was sitting on the ground in fear to come over.
"Hurry up and feed him this medicine, and let him lie down obediently."
However, this soldier with a demonic body was just one of them. There were many more Cloud Cavalry soldiers who were sent over on stretchers and fell into the demonic body.
There were already four or five people standing up, which immediately made the brave little fat dragon lose his momentum and his smile became ingratiating.
"I...I mean...let them...lie down nicely!"
But before he could finish his words, the opponent chopped down with a knife. When Bai Lu was crouching with his head in his hands to defend himself, San Yue Qi arrived in time.
"Still squatting in the carrot pit~ Quickly retreat, it's my turn next--!"
There was still food and sauce on her mouth that she hadn't wiped clean, but her hands were moving at no slowness at all. While adding a shield to Bai Lu, several ice arrows had already been shot out.
The demonic Yin-body soldiers stopped moving, and a thin layer of frost formed on their bodies. Xing, who was behind them, started to knock them out with a baseball bat, one by one, easily and effortlessly.
This combination is very good, but it cannot directly solve the problem. After falling into the devil's body, their vitality will become extremely tenacious, even tougher than the indestructible cockroach.
But as a green eye of the wind formed under their feet, the wind blew freely upwards, spreading the frost and snow, while also dispelling the evil aura on their bodies, and the lush branches and leaves that had been growing continuously also withered.
"Everyone, stand up when you see injustice."
Wendy also followed out. After all, it would be difficult to explain if he continued to slack off.
He brushed the strings of the zither, letting a gentle breeze blow over the demonic soldiers. The changes visible to the naked eye were gradually curbed, and they even began to restore their original appearance.
This time everyone was shocked!
Chapter 14: Teach me~Teach me~
It has been mentioned in the past that the immortality of the people in the Xianzhou comes from the power of the ancestor of longevity, plague and disaster.
The demonic body is the unavoidable curse left in the blood of the people on the Immortal Boat.
At a critical point in the life cycle of the immortal species, it suddenly enters the next stage——
Once the original "standards" are breached, the body will exhibit extremely destructive growth, turning "people" who originally lived in a civilized world into "evil creatures" lacking intelligence.
This is also known as the "demon body".
There are many conditions that trigger the demonic body, and the types of manifestations are also different.
Xianzhou lists "injury", "defilement", "anger", "othering", and "unconsciousness" as the five symptoms of falling into the devil's body.
Among them, the probability of the Cloud Cavalry suffering from the Demonic Yin Body was far higher than that of ordinary Immortal Boat people. This was especially true for the soldiers fighting on the front lines, as most of them had to face an extremely cruel reality.
That is, when a comrade falls into the body of a demon, he will kill him with his own hands and free him...
Because the demonic body is almost impossible to "cure", once the body enters the stage of alienation, no matter how good the doctor's skills are, it will be powerless to save the situation. The only thing they can do is to invite the judge of the Ten Kings Department as soon as possible to collect the body and then send it to reincarnation.
And now, someone is able to suppress the alienation brought about by this demonic body, and even shows the possibility of "curing" it. How can people not be shocked?
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Bai Lu was the first to react. She subconsciously squatted down to check on the patient, but his breathing gradually became even, his chest rose and fell normally, and his face looked slightly pale under the helmet.
"Oh my goodness...are you serious?"
Bai Lu pinched her face hard and realized that she was not dreaming. She suddenly felt as if her worldview was shattered and reorganized.
"How on earth did they do that? I don't understand it at all!!"
She looked at Wendy, who had put away her harp and taken off her hat as if to "ask for money" out of habit, and she didn't react at all.
No, if you have this ability, why do you still rely on this job to make money? What we in Dandingsi lack is talents like you!
Who would have thought that San Yue Qi was indifferent to this scene. Instead, he scratched his head and said in surprise, "So, Miss Bai Lu, you really are a healer? I thought you made this up to fool us."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been studying medicine since I was born, and I'm a licensed physician at the Dan Ding Division... No! That's not the point right now. Do you know what your companions have done?"
