Isn’t this the little boy in my dream who has bottles and jars hanging all over his body
"He is Yan Nian of the Sword Sect." The sword spirit licked the corner of his mouth, looking as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"Flirting? What kind of feminine thoughts?"
“It was he who made the Sword Sect unable to restrain their emotions and desires, unable to escape from the secular world, and bound to the mortal world and unable to ascend.” The sword spirit stretched out a finger and hooked it on Lu Xiaochan’s chin.
"What?"
"The Sword Sect's obsession is too strong, and it has all been retained in the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' of the four directions, and has not dissipated for a long time." The sword spirit sighed, "You don't know that I have been forced to look at the same person for nearly a thousand years, and I am so bored. But the Sword Sect's obsession is unrepentant and cannot be reduced, and it remains in the 'Mirror Flower Water Moon'. I invited you here to make you think of something else."
"Thinking about something else?" Lu Xiaochan looked at the sword spirit in confusion.
"If you think of something else, maybe something else will appear in the illusion! Like delicious food! Fun things! And pretty girls! Pretty men are OK too!" The sword spirit looked earnest, "Give me a change!"
"ah?"
Before Lu Xiaochan could see the last picture, she heard the sword spirit shouting anxiously.
"Oh no! The Sword Sect's soul has left his body and is coming to find you! Go back quickly!"
The sword spirit's finger touched Lu Xiaochan's brow, and Lu Xiaochan seemed to be pushed down from the sky by a force.
Shu Wuxi's voice rang in his ears.
"Little Chan, Little Chan, wake up."
"Hmm?" Lu Xiaochan opened her eyes. The cold and empty palace in her dream seemed to be just her imagination. The handsome face of Shu Wuxi appeared in front of her. Lu Xiaochan immediately stared at him and then laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"You are beautiful! And I can watch you every day and every night, whenever I want!"
Lu Xiaochan stretched out her hands and randomly touched Shu Wuxi's face.
Shu Wuxi did not avoid him and let him do whatever he wanted. He just took his coat and put it on Lu Xiaochan.
Lu Xiaochan remembered the first time Shu Wuxi helped her put on clothes and he was very strict and didn't let her touch them. Now she couldn't help but have bad thoughts.
Shu Wuxi was adjusting Lu Xiaochan's belt when Lu Xiaochan went to pull it. He pretended to be curious about the pattern on the belt. Shu Wuxi remained calm and turned to adjust Lu Xiaochan's collar.
His fingers smoothed out Lu Xiaochan's collar, and Lu Xiaochan followed suit, straightening Shu Wuxi's collar as well, and then, with the last stroke, ripped it apart.
"Xiao Chan." Shu Wuxi's voice was lower than usual, as if he was warning Lu Xiaochan not to make trouble.
But Lu Xiaochan didn't take it seriously at all. She pretended to fix Shu Wuxi's hairband. She deliberately pulled it with her fingers, and the hairband loosened. Shu Wuxi's long black hair fell down and slipped across Lu Xiaochan's fingers. Lu Xiaochan couldn't help but grab it first, but Shu Wuxi took back the hairband and put them back.
"Xiao Chan, if you continue like this, we won't be able to set off today."
"Oh oh, I'm not kidding you! Let's comb our hair! Pack our bags! Let's go!"
Lu Xiaochan sat obediently in front of the table. Shu Wuxi sat cross-legged behind him and combed Lu Xiaochan's hair with a wooden comb made of spiritual vines.
Feeling Shu Wuxi's fingers running through her hair, Lu Xiaochan felt itchy inside. She turned her face to the side and then scratched behind her intentionally, but actually she was scratching Shu Wuxi's wrist.
Shu Wuxi seemed to know what Lu Xiaochan was thinking and let him hold his wrist.
"Did I use too much force and hurt you?"
Lu Xiaochan thought to herself, you moved so gently, not even a hair of mine fell off, so how could it hurt
He just wanted to touch Shu Wuxi's fingers.
"It doesn't hurt! Just keep combing your hair!"
Shu Wuxi's fingers were light and nimble as he tied a hairband for Lu Xiaochan.
"Are you going to use some magical method of blinding the eyes again to hide your true appearance?"
"Um."
Lu Xiaochan was very satisfied with this answer. He also didn't want others to see Shu Wuxi's appearance.
"What about me? You have to cast a spell on me too! So that the evil spirit won't recognize me!"
"The Blindness can only be used on yourself. Let me teach you. Gather your spiritual energy into your fingertips, draw this spell, and cast it on yourself."
Lu Xiaochan also used her own spiritual energy to draw one in the same way and put it on her body.
At this time, Kunwu came in to see them off. Lu Xiaochan immediately asked him excitedly: "Old liar, look at me, have I changed at all?"
"What changes?" Kunwu looked left and right.
"After reading this, do you feel like you don't remember what I look like?"
Kunwu finally understood what was going on and tapped Lu Xiaochan on the head: "Your magic is not good enough. At most, you can only restrain the spiritual energy around you, so that you are not as eye-catching as before."
"That's fine." Lu Xiaochan smiled immediately.
Nothing can be achieved overnight, but at least you can make yourself less eye-catching.
"Don't laugh, those peach blossom eyes are useless if you laugh."
"Then I won't laugh."
Kunwu sighed and stuffed a small medicine bottle into Lu Xiaochan's belt: "You must be obedient, don't act recklessly, and don't cause trouble."
"knew."
"It's getting late. I fed Lu Shu a lot of branches and leaves of the spiritual vine. I wish you a safe journey. Once the sword is forged, don't forget to come back and show it to me." Kunwu warned carefully.
"Don't worry. I will bring it back so you can open your eyes." Lu Xiaochan patted Kunwu's chest.
Shu Wuxi took Lu Xiaochan out of Tailing Pavilion. Along the way, many medical practitioners and pharmacists bowed their heads and saluted to bid him farewell.
When they walked out of the thatched cottage, Lu Shu was lying at the door waiting for them.
Lu Xiaochan came to its side, grabbed its fur and jumped up. Lu Shu felt uncomfortable being grabbed and could only raise his tail. He didn't dare to touch Lu Xiaochan at all.
"Brother Wuxi, come up quickly!"
Lu Xiaochan felt his waist tighten, and Shu Wuxi had already sat behind him quietly.
Lu Shu took off into the air, flew into the sky and into the clouds.
At first, Lu Xiaochan felt it was extremely novel, but there were no living creatures above the clouds, and no life force, so Lu Xiaochan could not see anything.
He yawned and naturally felt sleepy.
Shu Wuxi raised his hand and gently held his head in his arms.
"Get some sleep."
Lu Xiaochan nodded, leaned on Shu Wuxi's body and fell asleep.
Before he knew it, Lu Xiaochan woke up, smelled the night dew, and realized it was already night.
Lu Xiaochan's stomach growled and he licked the corner of his mouth. He was a little hungry.
"Lu Shu, let's find a town to stay in tonight."
Lu Shu slowly fell from the clouds.
When the distant townspeople saw that scene, countless people were stunned.
"Is that a fairy?"
"The one who came from the sky must be an immortal!"
Lu Shu landed in a forest outside a town and turned into a white horse.
Shu Wuxi turned over and took the reins from his Qiankun bag and tied them up.
Although Lu Shu was not happy, he had no choice but to stick his head in. Shu Wuxi led it towards the town.
Lu Xiaochan asked: "Where is this place?"
"Pengcheng at the foot of Pengyuan Mountain."
"Pengyuan Mountain? Why does it sound familiar?" Lu Xiaochan patted his head, "I remember now! An Heng is a disciple of the Meng family of Pengyuan Mountain!"
"Yeah." Shu Wuxi responded.
"Is the Meng family powerful?"
"I have never heard of any famous sword coming out."
What I mean is, not great.
But that Madam Meng was quite arrogant and domineering. As the saying goes, "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door." It is estimated that the head of Pengyuan Mountain is not a good person either.
After they entered Pengcheng, Lu Xiaochan sniffed around, trying to find a good restaurant. Then he scratched the back of his head and said, "How strange! I've been sniffing for so long, and all the people passing by are men. There's no smell of women at all!"
This is really weird!
Lu Xiaochan had only heard of stories about the Land of Women, but had never heard of a place that only existed among men.
"We're just staying one night."
"I know, I know. I won't meddle in other people's business, don't worry, Brother Wuxi."
They came to an inn in the town. It had a large entrance and was spacious inside. It must be the best inn in Pengcheng.
The innkeeper saw that although Lu Xiaochan and Shu Wuxi were wearing ordinary clothes, a closer look revealed that they were made of top-quality materials. In addition, the fur of the white horse that Lu Shu transformed into was smooth, which made it obvious that it was a good breed of horse, so the waiter came over to greet them warmly.
"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"
"Stay in the hotel. Give us a room upstairs."
"Sir, please come in!"
The guy first led Lu Shu into the stable at the back. Although Lu Shu was not satisfied, he could only roll his eyes.
There was no horse in the stable, but the space was spacious.
Lu Shu was dismissive of the hay in the trough, which made the servant think that the horse must be of extraordinary breed. He turned around and became more friendly to Shu Wuxi and Lu Xiaochan.
Although Lu Xiaochan could see people, he could not see lifeless things like tables, chairs and benches. Shu Wuxi pulled his wrist and led him to the table.
The waiter watched Shu Wuxi pour tea for Lu Xiaochan, while Lu Xiaochan looked around and did nothing. He wondered in his heart which family Lu Xiaochan belonged to, and that Shu Wuxi, who was dressed like a scholar, was the one sent by his family to take care of him. Judging from Shu Wuxi's bearing and cultivation, he might be the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
"Young Master, it's getting late. You two probably haven't had dinner yet, right? Would you like to try our fish dumplings?"
"Fish dumplings? I want to try them!" Lu Xiaochan's mouth started watering when she heard that.
"Give me some fish dumplings." Shu Wuxi said.
Lu Xiaochan added: "Cook a few more of your specialties!"
Shu Wuxi nodded: "Well, cook a few of your specialties."
When the guy took a look, he found that the young master was the one in charge of the two men.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be served soon!"
Lu Xiaochan supported her chin and waited in the room. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Pengcheng was very strange.
"Brother Wuxi, Pengcheng is not a small town. It's okay that we didn't see any women along the way, but why is even such a big inn so deserted? It seems that all the passing merchants bypassed Pengcheng?"
"Don't think too much. After dinner, I'll ask the waiter to boil water for you to take a bath."
Lu Xiaochan knew that although Shu Wuxi seemed to be indifferent to everything around him, he actually knew everything.
After a while, the waiter came up with the food.
Lu Xiaochan was the first one to reach out her chopsticks to pick up the fish dumplings, but just as she was about to put them into her mouth, she was held back by Shu Wuxi.
"It's too hot."
"Oh." Lu Xiaochan tugged at Shu Wuxi's sleeve, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wuxi, please give me some reward."
Shu Wuxi took out a silver bean and placed it on the leg of the table.
The waiter quickly put it away. During the past three or four days, only Shu Wuxi and Lu Xiaochan stayed there. After receiving the reward money, the waiter naturally had to consider them.
"My dear young master, since I have accepted your reward, I have a few words to remind you two."
Lu Xiaochan's eyes lit up: "Just say it!"
"You two should have noticed that although our Pengcheng is located on a major road, it is quieter than other towns."
"Yes, and I didn't see any female relatives along the way! What's going on?"
"This is all because of the Meng family in Pengyuan Mountain..."
When talking about the Meng family, the waiter's voice became much lower.
He looked around as if he feared the walls might have ears.
"What happened to the Meng family?"
Although the Meng family is not a famous family, it is also a sect of cultivators. Why is this guy so afraid
"The mistress of the Meng family left town a few months ago to pray for a son for the Meng family. Who knew she was possessed by an evil spirit and lost her life on the way!"
"Then what?"
He knew this part.
"The body was sent back by the people from Zhiwu Villa. I heard that even the heart was gone."
Lu Xiaochan didn't want to hear him talk about Madam Meng anymore and just wanted him to get to the point.
"What does this have to do with the desolation of Pengcheng and the lack of women on the road?"
"Mrs. Meng's eldest brother is the master of Chenhuan Cave. He will definitely come to question her for the death of his sister. The master of Chenhuan Cave believes that Meng Yuandao treated his wife harshly because of the concubines in the mansion. In order to maintain her position in the Meng family, Mrs. Meng went out to seek a child..."
"So the Lord of Chenhuan Cave wants to use Meng Yuandao's concubine as a scapegoat to vent his anger on his sister?"
Oh my, it looks like a big show is about to happen!
Lu Xiaochan would definitely not meddle in the Meng family's affairs, but that didn't stop him from listening to gossip!
"Yes! In order not to offend the Lord of Chenhuan Cave, Meng Yuandao hanged his concubine and even held a grand funeral!"
"And then?" Lu Xiaochan thought that Meng Yuandao was really heartless. He was not nice to his wife, and he was also not nice to his concubine.
After all, Mrs. Meng's hatred and jealousy have a lot to do with Meng Yuandao's ruthless and ungrateful character.
Although it was all Mrs. Meng's fault, after a woman gets married, she depends on her husband for her whole life. Meng Yuandao is fickle, and it is really difficult for Mrs. Meng to let it go.
"Who knew that the Lord of Chenhuan Cave would be intercepted halfway and insisted on opening the coffin for an autopsy! Once the coffin was opened, it was discovered that it was empty!"
Lu Xiaochan couldn't help but applaud: "Meng Yuandao is really good! He actually dared to lie to Chen Huan Cave Master!"
"Yes, how could the cave master let it go? He found the concubine from the Meng family's courtyard and personally wanted to kill her! Meng Yuandao naturally wanted to protect the concubine, so he had a big fight with the cave master Chen Huan. During the fight between the two, the Chen Huan cave master's true energy brushed the concubine's face! It left a blood mark! And it can't be healed!"
Lu Xiaochan's interest became more and more intense, and she looked at the waiter with her big eyes. When the waiter saw that he had an audience, he became more and more excited.
"Meng Yuandao said that his concubine was pregnant, and that she was the blood of the Meng family after all, so he hoped that the Lord of Chenhuan Cave would show mercy. The Lord of Chenhuan Cave left in anger, and put a 'death mark' on everyone in Pengyuan Mountain except Meng Yuandao, even ordinary people like us were no exception! He threatened that when Meng Yuandao's concubine gave birth to a child, he would come back to kill her!"
"Oh, I understand! He has put a death seal on you too. First, if Meng Yuandao escapes privately, it will implicate the entire Meng family and the people of Pengcheng. He will not be able to gain a foothold anywhere! Second, it also wants everyone in Pengcheng to keep an eye on Meng Yuandao. Once he leaves, you will not be able to survive. Is that right or wrong?"
"That's right!"
The waiter sighed deeply and slightly opened his collar, leaving a mark on the side of his neck. The waiter was not a cultivator, and his spiritual energy was shallow, so he could not outline the mark on his body. Lu Xiaochan was about to touch it, but Shu Wuxi held his hand.
"It is indeed the 'Mark of Death'." Shu Wuxi said.
"What is the Death Mark?"
"This is a vicious spell that ordinary Taoists will not use. Anyone who has been given the 'Mark of Death' will have their blood flow reversed and die once they leave an area of 100 miles." Shu Wuxi replied.
"Is there a solution?" Lu Xiaochan asked curiously.
"The cultivation level of the Chen Huan Cave Master is higher than that of Meng Yuandao. The death seal he cast cannot be broken by the entire Peng Yuan Mountain sect."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaochan understood. With Shu Wuxi's cultivation level, the Death Seal of the Chenhuan Cave Master was just a show-off.
"But does this have anything to do with the desertedness of the town and the absence of women?"
"Didn't I just say that the innate energy of the Chenhuan Cave Master left a blood mark on the face of the concubine of the Meng family? That blood mark has not disappeared even after more than three months."
"This true energy is so overbearing!" Lu Xiaochan touched his cheek.
"The Meng family has consulted many doctors, and they all said that the Chenhuan Cave Master's true qi is so powerful that the scar on her face will never heal! I don't know where the Meng family got the prescription from, but they said that using virgin blood as a medicine can heal the scar on the concubine's face."
"So... Meng Yuandao wouldn't just take all the unmarried girls in Pengcheng to Pengyuan Mountain, right?"
"That's right."
"But... but after the baby is born, the Lord of Chenhuan Cave will come to claim my life. My life is almost gone, so what's the point of having a face?" Lu Xiaochan spread her hands, not understanding why Meng Yuandao spent so much time and effort on the concubine's face.
"I just don't know why! Now almost all the girls in the city have been captured, but the Meng family is still not satisfied. His disciples can't complete the task, and even married women are not spared. They are all captured and taken to Pengyuan Mountain!"
Lu Xiaochan felt deeply sympathetic towards them. If he guessed correctly, either Meng Yuandao or the concubine was possessed by an evil spirit, which was why they did such a ridiculous thing.
"Be patient. That Dust Cave Master will come to take the life of Meng's concubine soon. When he comes and removes your death seal, you can leave here."
As for those women who were captured, since Meng Yuandao’s concubine was dead, everything would be alright.
"Alas, we can only wait for Meng Yuandao's concubine to give birth to the child quickly. But I want to remind you, young master, don't wander around the streets if you have nothing to do. If you run into a disciple of the Meng family, they go door to door looking for women every day, and it would be bad if a conflict arises."
"Thanks for the reminder, buddy." Lu Xiaochan bowed to the other party as a way of thanking him for the reminder.
After dinner, the waiter took away the plates. Lu Xiaochan rinsed her mouth and was about to take a shower when she heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs of the inn.
"You didn't even inform the Meng family when a stranger came to the city! How dare you!"
It seems that the disciples of the Meng family have come to visit.
"Oh! My Lords, there are only two men here, and no female relatives. If we go and inform them, it will be a wasted trip for you, right?"
"Bullshit! We won't know whether it was a waste of time until we see it!"
After saying that, a burst of arrogant footsteps was heard.
Lu Xiaochan thought that she would not have a peaceful night!
But it doesn't matter. He did nothing but sleep when sitting on Lu Shu's back during the day. Now if he really lies on the couch, he won't be able to fall asleep!
"Brother Wuxi, help me!" Lu Xiaochan pulled Shu Wuxi's sleeve with a wicked smile.
Shu Wuxi had just raised the teacup to his lips, but Lu Xiaochan pulled him and the tea almost fell out.
He turned his hand around, grabbed Lu Xiaochan, and pulled him to his side.
"You just want to see me take action, right?"
"Hey, that's right!"
When Shu Wuxi made a move, spiritual energy overflowed, and the sun and the moon were eclipsed!
I never get tired of watching it!
At this moment, four or five Meng family disciples kicked open their door and rushed in, and the waiter followed them and kept explaining.
"There are really two male guests! There are no female relatives!"
The guy was shoved away and hit against the wall.
The four men came in aggressively, and the leader shouted, "Sure enough, they are here!"
Shu Wuxi put down the teacup without making any noise.
Lu Xiaochan saw that the spiritual light on them was dim, only slightly better than that of ordinary people, and perhaps they had not yet been able to form a pill.
Shu Wuxi can deal with these people just by raising his finger. It's really boring.
Lu Xiaochan slapped his lips and yawned.
Who knew that the four people surrounded Lu Xiaochan and stared at him.
"This kid is so pretty, he must be a girl dressed as a boy!"
"That's right! Catch him and report back to Master!"
Lu Xiaochan almost choked on her own saliva.
"What? Are you more blind than me? How could I be dressed as a man?"
Are you praising me for my good looks, or are you so angry that you want to arrest anyone
Seeing that they were about to catch Lu Xiaochan, Shu Wuxi raised his hand, flicked his fingertips, and a stream of true energy burst out.
This stream of true energy was actually in an arc shape, and it instantly penetrated the chests of the four men. The four men immediately fell to the ground, spitting blood.
Some of them fell to the ground, and only the leader, who was in the lead, managed to hold up his upper body and raised his head to look at Shu Wuxi.
"Who are you...?"
Obviously, neither of these two people had a magic sword with them, but the man just now had extremely strong internal energy, powerful internal wind, and unfathomable cultivation.
The author has something to say: Shu Wuxi: Xiaochan, why are you running in circles
Lu Xiaochan: I'm angry! They are blind and say I'm a man dressed as a woman! They are the ones who are dressed as women!
Shu Wuxi: Yeah.
Lu Xiaochan: Why did you buy so many skirts
Shu Wuxi: Let them put it on, men dressing up as women.
All the disciples of the Meng family: We know we are wrong! We are blind! We are too talkative! Please spare us, Immortal!
