Chapter 198: Getting Ready to Go to Feng Wu

Long Qi never thought that Lingxiang would actually go to Fengwu Mountain. That place did not leave him with any good memories, especially the old mountain god who looked sloppy and unkempt.

“What are you going there for?”

Lingxiang was really confused when she saw Long Qi’s reaction. She had read about Yunmengze in her mother’s notes, and after much searching, she learned that Kunwu Sect had a great deal to do with it. But when she went to Kunwu Sect before, the old man Xuanhuai only knew one thing but not the other, and did not know where the entrance to Yunmengze was.

Senior Brother Chi Yanzi knew the entrance to the Water Mirror, but he had probably brought Maidong back to Yuanqing Sect. He couldn’t possibly go back to ask him to lead the way. Otherwise, he might be caught by Senior Brother Six as soon as he stepped into Jiuque Mountain.

Fortunately, Chi Yanzi told Lingxiang some things before leaving, which can be of help.

……

“On the way there, there’s no telling if the witch Yinghuan will cause trouble again, so you have to be extra careful, brother.” Lingxiang said as she packed Chi Yanzi’s bag.

Chi Yanzi had nothing, but Lingxiang was a little worried and bought him some clothes. After all, he was her mother’s only disciple. Since Lingxiang knew Chi Yanzi’s identity, in her heart, Chi Yanzi, like several brothers in Yuanqing Sect, was her relative. Moreover, it was not just this point, mainly because Lingxiang could not bear it any longer.

Ever since she knew Chi Yanzi, she had never seen him change his attire. Even when he went to Yuanqing Sect in rags, he actually patched up the tattered clothes and wore them.

After all, Chi Yanzi knew the city lord and the governor. Even if he was an outsider, he wouldn’t have such messy hair and rough clothes, right?

Chi Yanzi was wearing a new robe and meditating on the couch. Although he did not respond, he was listening carefully. He felt that Lingxiang was more like his master. Although he was always smiling, he was actually thinking about others in his heart.

Forget it, even though I don’t want her to take risks, I think even if I keep it a secret, she will find a way one day. It’s better to tell her what I know so that she can avoid taking detours.

“Since you are going to Yunmeng Fairyland and you have the Penglai Jade Branch, do you know where the Water Mirror is?”

Lingxiang paused for just a moment, then continued to pick up the things.

“As Senior Brother said, Mother wrote down everything about her trip to Yunmengze in her notes, but she didn’t mention the whereabouts of Shuijing.”

On the way here, Lingxiang asked Chi Yanzi because she guessed that he would know, but she didn’t expect Chi Yanzi to change the subject. Later, when they arrived at the clinic, the matter was left unresolved.

Although it was only for a moment, Chi Yanzi saw Lingxiang’s pause.

This Lingxiang actually plotted against him. Her roundabout nature was exactly the same as her master’s.

Chi Yanzi sighed and then closed his eyes again: “Master took me to Shuijing, but the location there is secret and protected by divine power. Even if I told you, you might not be able to find it. Now I have to escort Maidong back to Yuanqing. Even if I want to take you there, I am too busy to do so.”

Lingxiang said nothing, tied her bag and placed it on the small table, then sat down and waited for Chi Yanzi to continue.

“However, if you can find someone, he will definitely take you to Shuijing safely. But that person is a bit weird, and only the master could subdue him back then.”

“Brother, you really have a way,” Lingxiang propped up her cheek, her eyes smiling like two crescent moons, “Who has such a skill?”

Thinking of that person, Chi Yanzi actually laughed: “Rather than saying he is a person, it’s better to say he is a god. He was originally a god in Yunmeng Lake. Because he offended someone and was afraid of being harassed, he followed his master out. Now he has proclaimed himself the god of the mountain and hides in the mountains and rarely comes out.”

…God of a mountain?
Long Qi’s eyelids twitched, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart: “The mountain god that old man Chi Yanzi mentioned, could it be the mountain god of Fengwu Mountain?”

This time it was Lingxiang who was surprised. From Long Qi’s tone, it seemed that he knew him.

“I know him…” Long Qi gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll recognize him even if he turns to ashes!”

Seeing Long Qi like this, Lingxiang was even more confused. She hurriedly looked at Xinyi, but saw his eyes full of ridicule.

When Xinyi saw Lingxiang looking at her, she told her about her encounter with the merman Luoli at Fengwu Mountain, not forgetting to mention how she stripped Long Qi naked.

Long Qi was angry at first that the mountain god didn’t react, but after he came to his senses, he stepped forward and was about to hit Xinyi.

After hearing what Xinyi said, Lingxiang was a little surprised, and she sighed that fate in the world could be so subtle. But what surprised her even more was Xinyi.

Based on her understanding of Xinyi, she was a person who had always been an iceberg. She had never been so playful and joking before. She even dodged and teased Long Qi at the same time.

Just as Lingxiang was feeling extremely surprised, Liu Yaoyi came out from outside the house and brought over the dry food she had prepared for Lingxiang.

Ever since she told Lingxiang about everything, she became a little worried about Lingxiang. She was just afraid that her journey wouldn’t be smooth and she thought about everything for her.

Lingxiang thanked Liu Yaoyi, and seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, she said, “Since Madam is familiar with my mother, she must be Lingxiang’s family. If you have anything to say, you can speak up.”

Liu Yaoyi pondered for a moment before saying, “You should have a creature of my generation in your sleeve, but it is currently experiencing a breakthrough, so it is unconscious. If you take it to Yunmeng Fairyland, I’m afraid it will be dangerous…”

I didn’t expect Liu Yaoyi to be able to detect this. The person Lingxiang hid in her sleeve was none other than Adao. Adao had been practicing with Lingxiang until now, and now he was realizing the way of the demon, and now he was like hibernating.

“Madam, please relax,” Lingxiang said with a smile, “I also intend to take it to Yunmengze. I heard that under the governance of Yunzhongjun, it still retains its ancient state and has abundant spiritual energy. Although I originally wanted to train it into a spiritual beast, I didn’t expect it to have spiritual roots. Now it is also my disciple. Bringing it into Shuijing is also an opportunity for it.”

After hearing Lingxiang’s explanation, Liu Yaoyi was still worried and said, “The monster is very cunning. You have to be careful and don’t be fooled by it.”

Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this, stroking the warmth in her sleeves: “Madam, your intention is good, Lingxiang understands. However, just like my mother trusts you, I also trust it very much. People can be good or evil, and so can demons.”

Liu Yaoyi was stunned when she heard Lingxiang say this. Many years ago, someone had also said this to her.

……

“People have good and evil, and so do demons. No matter where they come from or where they go, all living things are determined by the mind.”

……

Liu Yaoyi smiled and looked at Lingxiang and said silently in her heart: “Tumi, your daughter is exactly like you, so innocent, so kind…”

So beautiful…
