The east is about to dawn and the morning light is dim.
There were spirit stone remnants scattered around Jiang Yuebai. The thirteenth spirit stone failed to be carved, and the spirit stone shattered and the spiritual energy dissipated. She hurriedly absorbed the spiritual energy into her body, not daring to waste even a single bit.
Jiang Yuebai felt a pain in his heart as if his flesh was being cut.
The only thing that could comfort her heart was that the scattered spiritual energy was absorbed into her body to increase her cultivation. A small bud also sprouted in the center of the three-leaf wheat seedling in her sea of consciousness, and a fourth leaf was about to grow. This was a symbol of the growth of her spiritual consciousness.
"This effect is several times better than the Starry Soul Refining Method, but it consumes a lot of spirit stones..."
Jiang Yuebai fell on the low table, wishing he had a spiritual mine.
"No wonder there's a saying in the market that if you don't have money, don't enter the puppet path. No wonder Mo Baichun would set up a stall in the market to cheat children out of spirit stones."
After being depressed for a moment, Jiang Yuebai cheered up again. Seeing that Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan had not woken up yet, he left quietly and walked into the depths of Yinfeng Gorge.
The canyon between the two mountains is more than three meters wide, deep and dark, with the wind howling like thousands of ghosts, which is very terrifying.
Jiang Yuebai went around to the side, trying to find a way to get to Shilipo, south of Yinfengjian, from where she could sneak back to Huaxi Valley. She was very hungry.
"There are so many ghost lanterns on Shili Slope, why aren't there any here? How can I practice the "Three Water-Breaking Swords" without them?"
After searching for a while without finding the way, Jiang Yuebai had no choice but to sit on a rock, take out the white jade xun, and learn how to play it by referring to "Luanhunchao", just to relax his mind and cultivate his sentiments.
[You started learning "Luanhunshao", but the music and tunes were not right, and you had no talent at all. Girl, could you stop blowing it? ]
Jiang Yuebai ignored the prompts on the cultivation panel and enjoyed himself.
A cold wind suddenly blew, and three phosphorescent lights appeared from nowhere, approaching Jiang Yuebai from the side.
She was caught off guard and dodged in panic, and the white jade xun fell into the hay. Three streams of light rushed forward and violently collided with the white jade xun back and forth.
Unfortunately, they have no physical form and cannot cause any damage to the white jade xun.
After a moment, the three phosphorescent lights calmed down and turned into the shape of lanterns. Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up and he grasped the handle of the hatchet behind his waist.
"Hmm? Why is this ghost lantern different?"
Ordinary ghost lanterns only have vague lantern shapes, but the green palace lanterns clustered in the middle are extremely realistic and exquisite.
Two balls of phosphorescence surrounded it, emitting a faint green glow, and there seemed to be two lines of words on the lantern
clang!
The hatchet was unsheathed, and a silver glow appeared.
The green palace lantern trembled, turned around and fled.
"Stop! Don't run!"
Jiang Yuebai took back the white jade xun and chased after him. The green lantern was as fast as a meteor. She slapped on the wind talisman, killed two of his followers, and forced the green lantern to the bottom of the cliff, with no way to retreat.
The green palace lantern was trembling. Jiang Yuebai approached step by step and gradually saw the small words on the lantern.
[The moon rises and startles the mountain birds, which sometimes sing in the spring stream]
The green palace lantern suddenly went crazy and turned around and crashed into Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai swept the hatchet across, the blade light split the palace lantern in mid-air, and two green lights hit her body.
"I have seen a lot of blood, and I hate red the most. Today is the Lantern Festival, so I will make a green lantern for you."
The woman's voice suddenly appeared in my mind, and the lingering sound lingered in my mind.
Jiang Yuebai hurriedly checked his body and found nothing abnormal. Could it be that there was a remnant soul in this ghost lantern, which was why it looked so strange and left a message before dying
Crash!
The mountain wall broke apart, leaving a long and narrow gap.
Jiang Yuebai moved closer and found that the mountain wall was very thin, probably shattered by her sword.
There was a chill in the air, and it was a different world, with twists and turns that seemed to have no end, and there were many ghost lights shining with green light.
"Have I disturbed someone?"
Jiang Yuebai was visibly excited. This direction was heading south, and if he could kill all the way to Shilipo, he might be able to reach it.
"Jiang Yuebai—"
Hearing Xie Jingshan's call, Jiang Yuebai retracted his leg, looked at the hole reluctantly, and turned back.
"Where have you been so early in the morning? Did you go to practice martial arts secretly again? It's ok that you oppressed me openly, but you actually worked hard behind my back. You are simply not a human being!" Xie Jingshan was furious.
Jiang Yuebai was puzzled. "What does it have to do with you whether I practice or not, whether I work hard or not? Thank you! Master! Disciple!"
"You! I am also at the third level of Qi training now, why do you call me your junior brother?"
"I broke through before you did."
"We have the same level of cultivation!"
"Then I will break through before you."
"… "
Jiang Yuebai pushed Xie Jingshan away and returned to the entrance of Yinfengjian, where he saw Lu Nanzhi sitting cross-legged facing the east with a solemn expression on his face.
In front of her lay a mahogany, gold-lacquered low table, on which lay cups, bowls, and incense burners, all of which were gold objects with ornate carvings.
The white clothes are as white as snow, elegant and upright.
Liuzhi took the salt, Lu Nanzhi covered her face with her sleeves, cleaned her teeth and rinsed her mouth, and finally lit the incense. In the curling green smoke, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to meditate.
"What is she doing?"
Jiang Yuebai scratched his frizzy hair and looked at Lu Nanzhi with confusion, while Xie Jingshan crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"I'm asking you a question."
Jiang Yuebai bumped Xie Jingshan with his elbow, and Xie Jingshan gritted his teeth in anger.
"The stinking rules of a big family require a set of rituals every morning. You can be beheaded and bleed, but you must not lose your manners in front of others."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and looked at Xie Jingshan, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered with hay, his clothes were askew, and there were white traces of saliva at the corners of his mouth.
Although they both reflect on their mistakes facing the wall, compared with the spotless and noble Lu Nanzhi, he is just a beggar.
Shaking his head in disgust, Jiang Yuebai grabbed the grass debris on his head and bit it in his mouth. It was the same thing.
When Lu Nanzhi finished burning incense, Jiang Yuebai leaned over to smell her elegant fragrance and asked, "Are you tired of doing this every day?"
Lu Nanzhi's eyes flickered slightly, "This is the Lu family rule. I have been like this since I was a child. I am used to it."
"If you don't like it, don't follow it. You're not in Lu's company now." Jiang Yuebai turned his head, "Why don't you have these family rules? Are you like a playboy?"
Xie Jingshan snorted, "My family doesn't follow these stinky rules. Besides, my family is not a family of immortals. It's a waste of time to follow these useless rules. Cultivation depends on how you behave in daily life, not on these fake rules."
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi didn't know much about Xie Jingshan's background. He didn't want to elaborate, so they didn't ask any more questions.
It was another turbulent day. Jiang Yuebai was still energetic, Lu Nanzhi looked a little tired, and Xie Jingshan wanted to cry but had no tears.
At midnight, Jiang Yuebai put down the talisman brush and stretched his muscles. He had drawn a hundred talismans today and three of them were successful, which was not bad.
Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan both breathed a sigh of relief, put down their books, and looked at each other, but they didn't know why they were relieved.
Coo coo
There was a loud rumbling in his stomach, and Jiang Yuebai frowned and looked at Xie Jingshan.
Xie Jingshan held his stomach and said, "It's not me. I secretly took a bigu pill before I came in. It will last until tomorrow."
"As expected, this is your second time in prison. You have experience."
Jiang Yuebai praised, if it wasn't Xie Jingshan, could it be...
The two looked at Lu Nanzhi, and she looked normal.
"It's me."
Coo coo
Lu Nanzhi endured silently, sitting at the desk and maintaining his composure.
After a moment of silence.
“Hahahaha, Senior Sister Lu, your elegant image in my mind has completely collapsed hahaha. It turns out that fairies can also cry out from hunger hahaha.”
Jiang Yuebai burst into laughter, but Xie Jingshan tried hard to hold back his laughter. He knew that Lu Nanzhi only ate a bucket of rice a day, and would not be able to stand being hungry for two days.
Lu Nanzhi's cheeks flushed with shame and she looked annoyed. She turned away and didn't look at Jiang Yuebai.
"You can't fast before you build your foundation. It's normal for people to be hungry. What's so funny about that?"
Jiang Yuebai held her waist and wiped away tears, her mouth aching, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, I'll take you to eat."
Lu Nanzhi turned around suddenly, his eyes bright, "Where is the food?"
Xie Jingshan was also puzzled. "When we came in, all the edibles were taken away. Facing the wall is to make us starve and freeze. Did you hide any food?"
Jiang Yuebai was unfathomable. "That's not the case, but I know a road that might lead to Shilipo. As long as we can get to Shilipo, I can take you back to Huaxi Valley. My grandfather is a spiritual farmer. How can there be no food at home?"
"We are being punished. It is against the rules to escape without permission." Lu Nanzhi refused.
Xie Jingshan was full of interest. "Go quickly. I don't want to stay here anymore. Is there anything fun in Huaxi Valley?"
"Senior Sister Lu, are you really not going?"
Coo coo
Lu Nanzhi sat upright as before, remaining silent.
Jiang Yuebai gave a wicked smile, said no more, and left with Xie Jingshan.
As the footsteps faded away, Lu Nanzhi clenched his fists in annoyance, "I didn't even bother to give you one more word of advice..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was pulled up by Jiang Yuebai who had returned, "Let's go, let's go, just come back before the seventh day."
One pulls forcefully, the other one gives in half-heartedly.
