But what no one expected was that on the night when the festival celebration ended, those bald donkeys suddenly launched an indiscriminate attack on all of them as if they were crazy.
Not only that, in the middle of the journey, some people even broke into the fairy island in the sky with the intention of killing immortals.
That night, Tianqiu Valley suffered heavy damage.
Even if they succeeded in exterminating those crazy bald donkeys after a hard battle, the restriction of Tianqiu Valley itself was also seriously damaged, resulting in a large number of foreign beasts invading the valley.
It was not until more than thirty years ago that the originally damaged restriction was completely repaired, but even if the restriction was completely repaired, too many people died before that.
It was also during this process that all the immortals of the Li family, who were originally considered to be a wealthy family, were either killed in battle or seriously injured. Since a month ago, news came from the last immortal of their Li family that they were confirmed to have died of serious injuries. After that, the situation of the Li family took a turn for the worse, and internal and external troubles could be said to be constant.
As the orthodox head of the Li family who was appointed at a critical moment, Li Ruoyue wanted to invigorate the family, but her methods were too immature. A large part of the family's property was divided up by relatives and friends, and even the most important medicine fields were targeted by Captain Xing. .
-Then at this moment, they came.
No need to say anything. With Bai Zhi's high charm and professional core bonus, the other party who gradually let down his guard could tell these things in quite detail.
But the problem is that there is absolutely nothing Bai Zhi wants to know. Except for the first paragraph, the rest of the second half seems to Bai Zhi to be the complaints and distress of the girl in front of him...
"Are you sure that the only people who came to you at that time were those from the "pure land of mortals"? "
Feeling a little headache, Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead, and then asked the girl in front of him again.
The deceased Zero's sword [Night Knife] came from that accident, which means that the other party had appeared in that accident. As one of the combatants in the Night Watch, it is impossible to have anything other than this knife. Nothing was left.
Although Xun Wu promised him to help him check the details of the file, to be honest, he couldn't trust the other party. He even suspected that the other party had deliberately sent it to them about the knife of the deceased Ling.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone out to detect the information on his own.
"I don't know, I haven't experienced that myself."
Facing Bai Zhi's inquiry, Li Ruoyue shook her head quite honestly.
"Anyway, these are the stories that have been handed down. I have told you everything I know. Since then, those bald donkeys in the "Pure Land of Red Dust" have been regarded as enemies by us. To this day, this story is still in our mouths. Word of mouth. "
"What is an immortal?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi decided to change the question.
"Exalted Immortals? Those who are qualified to go to the fairy island in the sky to meet the immortals are the upper immortals. After meeting the immortals, they will live in the fairy islands in the sky and rarely come back to the ground."
Looking directly into Bai Zhi's eyes, Li Ruoyue answered seriously.
"The Immortals are quite powerful. They are the ultimate defense force of Tianqiu Valley. Once something big happens, or there is an invasion by a particularly powerful evil beast, they will help to resist the disaster."
"... To what extent can you go to heaven if you practice cultivation?"
Looking at the serious girl in front of him, Bai Zhi slightly asked wordlessly.
- Even without relying on God's perspective, just relying on the corner of his eye, he could see the other person's small movements of secretly picking up chopsticks on the table.
"Hmm... must be above the golden elixir stage."
After thinking for a moment, Li Ruoyue nodded.
"Although in Tianqiu Valley, everyone has the possibility to practice relying on the "Protective Plant", there are still only a few people who can practice all the way to that level. "
When she said this, Li Ruoyue snorted with some dissatisfaction.
"If it weren't for the fact that our Li family doesn't even have an immortal, how could that hateful guy in the Criminal Investigation Department dare to invade my family's medicine field?"
"Golden elixir stage..."
Completely ignoring the last half of the other person's words, Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, falling into deep thought.
According to the information he got from Jiang Chanyi, this stage of the Golden Elixir stage is already the end point that can be reached on the path of cultivation.
If your realm remains at this stage, you will not be greatly affected. However, if your cultivation continues to improve, you will be uncontrollably affected. It is a double alienation of body and mind.
When he regained the Cave Heaven Paradise of [Zhurong] before, he had seen the appearance of those alienated practitioners with his own eyes. It could be said that they were no longer human beings.
—If you don’t want to become a complete monster, you can only choose to embark on the unknown and mysterious path.
According to Li Ruoyue's story, the threshold for entering the Heavenly Fairy Island is the Golden Elixir stage, and unfortunately, those practitioners rarely come down after going to the Heavenly Fairy Island... This is not a coincidence. Yes.
If before, he could only suspect that there was a strange fairy on Sky Island, then now, he could 100% confirm the existence of that strange fairy.
… So it’s because of that weird fairy
Glancing at the [Night Knife] placed on the table beside him, Bai Zhi frowned fiercely.
The deceased Ling and Wu Lingmeng were together. If something went wrong with the deceased Ling, what about the Wu Lingmeng who was following him
What makes him feel even more fucked is that the deceased Ling and Hu Lingmeng were in Tianqiu Valley 85 years ago, and everything they did has become a thing of the past at the time he is now in. In this situation Now, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.
"...Forget it, let's wait for the information from Xun Wu."
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi, who was really upset, gave up thinking.
If Xun Wu doesn't find any clues about her in the files related to the deceased Ling and the others, then he will have no choice but to find a way to go to the fairy island in the sky to find the weird fairy.
... At worst, we will throw out the mountain man Li when the time comes.
Since those people from the pure world of "Buddha Country" took great pains to give the other party three Buddhist treasures and also awarded the other party the title of "Buddha's Son", I think that when Li He, the mountainside man, encountered danger, It should be impossible for those people to ignore it...
"How about it, have you finished thinking about it?"
When Bai Zhi raised his head again, he met the eyes of the girl in front of him.
The other party was sitting at the table, both in posture and demeanor, showing her ladylike demeanor.
... The premise is to ignore the grease on the corner of the other person's mouth that has not yet been wiped off and the chopsticks hidden under the table.
"It's okay. Thank you for clarifying my doubts. You can rest first. It's time for me to go back."
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi stood up from the table.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long. You can go to the Criminal Investigation Department to find me at dawn. Then I will try my best to compensate you for your losses."
"Uh... you're leaving now?"
It seemed that she didn't react for a moment, and Li Ruoyue couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"Otherwise? Do you want me to stay here and sleep?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi easily picked up the night knife on the table.
"Well... it's not impossible..."
"What?"
Bai Zhi almost thought he heard wrongly.
"I mean I have a spare room here, what are you thinking?"
After glaring at him, Li Ruoyue stopped hiding the chopsticks and put them on the table.
"But you are quite handsome. If you are willing to marry into the Li family, I may consider giving you a chance."
Bai Zhi: "..."
"Okay, you'd better go to bed early."
Glancing at the girl in front of him who was blushing but pretending to be calm, Bai Zhi slightly looked a little annoyed.
"This is the first time we've met, right? I really don't know what's going on in your mind. Remember to read less of the storybook in the future."
"Tch, do you dislike me? I still despise you, a pervert who sneaks into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night."
Turning her head and looking aside, Li Ruoyue snorted coldly.
But after some hesitation, she still spoke.
"If you want to know more detailed information, I have some records of what happened that year, which may be able to help you..."
After a slight pause, Li Ruoyue continued to speak.
"Just think of it as payment for the delicious food in front of you."
"Uh... so you asked me to marry you just now because of the temptation of food?"
After staring at the girl in front of him for a moment, Bai Zhi suddenly looked enlightened.
"I thought you were interested in sex, and your feelings were motivated by food?"
"So? Just say whether you want it or not!!"
The look on his face was slightly embarrassing. Li Ruoyue, who was exposed to his thoughts, looked away and spoke forcefully.
"Don't think that I will be bribed by a little food. Anyway, the Criminal Division will show you the file tomorrow. My behavior is not harmful to Tianqiu Valley... If you don't want to read it, just leave as soon as possible. Being discovered ruins my innocence!!”
"Where is the record book?"
Bai Zhi put the [Yako] on the table again and asked simply.
"See that table next to the bookshelf by the screen?"
"So the book is on the bookshelf?"
"No, I brought it to stand on the table legs. Could you please lift it up?"
"..."
Silently, Bai Zhi took out the already suppressed Dian from the table leg, and handed it to the other party.
The classics are handwritten, and the words on them appear to be small seal characters.
According to the other party's description, this is a cultivation secret book passed down from generation to generation of their Li family, and it contains quite a lot of cultivation experience.
Originally this was supposed to be a very important item, but because there were many pages missing from it, she just used it as a base for the table.
"…missing page?"
"Well, there are probably about ten pages missing."
While carefully looking through the book-like book, Li Ruoyue nodded.
"So why is such an important item missing pages?"
Bai Zhi looked curious as he looked at the book in the girl's hand, whose writing had begun to turn yellow.
"Oh, previous generations of family owners were out of paper when going to the toilet."
Li Ruoyue answered calmly.
Bai Zhi: "???"
"I'm not kidding. This is a book borrowed from the other party's own records and annotations, and he also made a sincere confession... Do you need me to read it to you?"
"… no."
—Bai Zhi suddenly felt that the decline of the Li family was not without reason.
"Well... I found the relevant records of that incident."
After carefully flipping through it for about ten minutes, Li Ruoyue looked up at him.
"How about it, do you want me to read it to you?"
"Read it."
Bai Zhi nodded after taking a look at the classics held in the other person's hands.
"Oh, you scare me."
"?"
"This powerful enemy is invincible, so we have to hide and wait for a while, you bald donkeys. I will definitely avenge you one day. Revenge, revenge, revenge. Don't forget to call out three times a day."
"??"
"Fortunately, there is gold under the man's knees. You use gold as a way to resolve the inevitable death. I am very proud. Future generations must remember this trick. It will be useful at critical moments."
"???"
To be honest, after hearing this, Bai Zhi no longer had any hope for the other information recorded in the book... It was also a blessing that the other party could continue to read it.
But at this moment, new words came out of Li Ruoyue's mouth.
"Damn it, why are there women among the bald donkeys? When the long sword is unsheathed, it is boundless into the night, and it is meant to be ruthless."
"..."
Sitting up straight, Bai Zhi glanced vaguely at the knife on the table beside him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Weeping and mourning, there are corpses scattered all over the field. They are in extremely miserable condition. Fortunately, the strong one among them rushes up to the sky. I wonder if the immortals in the sky can resist it?"
"The war in the sky has been going on for a long time. I'm very worried."
