Extra: Chinese Valentine's Day Special - Fateful Encounter (Part 2)
The moment Ji Wenchen saw the other party, his expression suddenly changed, and then he showed a false smile: "It turns out to be Elder Mu! Where did the wind come from that brought Elder Mu here today?"
Mu Shenqing's sword eyes reflected the figures of Ji Wenchen and You Xiyun. She said coldly to Ji Wenchen: "If I were in the future today, I would not know that Sect Leader Ji turned out to be such a sanctimonious person!"
Ji Wenchen's face changed slightly, and he smiled apologetically and said, "Elder Mu may have misunderstood. She and I have a personal grudge."
"I've seen everything just now. If you don't want me to tell the Pavilion Master to punish you, then put her down and get out!"
The smile on Ji Wenchen's face disappeared, and his expression darkened: "Are Elder Mu's words a little too much?"
"If you think it's too much, you can come and have a fight with me! Do you want to try?"
Mu Shenqing raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Ji Wenchen, looking at him.
Ji Wenchen's eyes flickered, but he could not muster the courage.
Although Mu Shenqing is currently the youngest elder in Lingshen Pavilion, she has already reached the level of spirit slaying and her swordsmanship is superb. He can never be her opponent.
What's more, Mu Shenqing is very likely to be the next generation master of Lingshen Pavilion. If he is offended, the consequences will be disastrous.
After weighing the matter, Ji Wenchen let go of You Xiyun, smiled and said to Mu Shenqing: "Since Elder Mu has come forward, it is natural for me to give him face. Then I will leave now."
Zheng——
He was about to leave when he heard another sword cry.
"Keep what you grabbed!"
Ji Wenchen's eyes were gloomy, he gritted his teeth secretly, took out the Qianrong Flower, threw it on the ground without looking back, and left completely.
When Ji Wenchen left, these two women were the only ones left in the world.
Mu Shenqing glanced at You Xiyun, and You Xiyun also looked at her. The former looked at her with a look, while the latter looked at her with a hint of relaxation after a disaster.
Mu Shenqing put away her sword, came to You Xiyun, and slapped You Xiyun on the shoulder. The spiritual power flowed, unlocking her sealed spiritual veins.
After the spiritual veins were unsealed, You Xiyun suddenly felt much better. Only then did she say, "Thank you very much."
Mu Shen stretched out his hand, sucked the Qianrong Flower over, and handed it to You Xiyun.
"Are you the demon saint?"
You Xiyun took Qianronghua: "Yeah."
Mu Shenqing couldn't help but smile scornfully: "You've just joined the Soul Killing, and you dare to wander around like this in the Tianshen Continent. This is not your demon clan. Everyone will treat you like a saint."
You Xiyun put away the Thousand Melting Flowers, took out a pill, drank it, and said quietly: "You saved me, so I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said."
Hearing this, Mu Shenqing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Have you always talked to people like this?"
You Xiyun's eyes were light: "If you don't want to hear it, you can leave now."
"If I leave, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get out of this mountain range!"
Although Mu Shenqing was dissatisfied with the tone of You Xiyun's words, she couldn't stand to watch a woman being insulted.
"Cough cough cough..."
Continuous coughing stopped You Xiyun from opening her mouth. She covered her mouth and looked slightly pale.
Mu Shenqing sighed softly and said, "Reach out your hand."
You Xiyun looked at her.
"I said reach out."
She repeated it with emphasis.
You Xiyun could only raise his hand.
"Open up."
You Xiyun opened her palms.
Mu Shenqing raised his palm to face You Xiyun, their palms touching each other, and the spiritual power flowed towards You Xiyun's body to help her nurse her internal injuries.
This went on for nearly a quarter of an hour before Mu Shenqing stopped.
"How?" she asked.
"much better."
After a short silence.
You Xiyun asked: "What's your name?"
"Enjoy the gods."
Mu Shenqing... You Xiyun thought for a moment. She didn't know much about Tianshen Continent. This was the first time she heard this name.
"You Xiyun." She replied.
"I know that your name has been spread throughout the Tianshen Continent. Let's go."
Mu Shen walked towards the outside of the mountain.
"Where to go?"
"Of course I am sending you out. In your current state, it is very easy to die if you continue to stay in the Tianshen Continent. There are more slaying spirits here than any of your continents, especially many monsters hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
.I have said before that your identity as a demon saint will not work well here, and it may even cause you more trouble."
After Mu Shenqing walked a certain distance, he found that You Xiyun had not followed.
She turned around and looked at the woman: "Aren't you leaving?"
You Xiyun remained silent for a moment: "I still have two things to take."
Mu Shenqing was greatly surprised: "You are like this, and you still want to find treasures here? Should I say you are brave, or are you not afraid of death? What else do you want to get?"
You Xiyun came over, took out the map, pointed at the two remaining red circles and said the names of the two spiritual creatures.
After Mu Shenqing heard this, he immediately said: "There is no need to go. The spiritual energy of Tianshen Continent is rich, and monsters are overflowing with it. There are probably spirit-killing level monsters in these places. In your current state, it is impossible to get them.
Even if you go after you recover, it will be difficult to ensure your safety after the battle. Unless someone protects you."
You Xiyun looked at Mu Shenqing.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Mu Shenqing finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"We just met!"
"I will pay you back."
"Do I lack your reward?"
Mu Shenqing said dissatisfied.
You Xiyun asked: "Then are you going?"
Mu Shenqing wanted to refuse, but when she thought of You Xiyun's indifferent expression when she was choked by Ji Wenchen and was unable to resist, she softened her heart.
"Find a city first!"
"what?"
Mu Shenqing said angrily: "I'll buy you some clothes from Tianshen Continent to change into. Also, I'll hide your magic pattern. Are you worried that no one will be able to recognize you when you walk outside with such a mark?
?I said, this is..."
"This is the Celestial Continent. Being a demon saint is not easy to use here, and it will even cause more trouble." You Xiyun finished the rest of Mu Shenqing's words in an indifferent tone, and continued as he hurried on,
"You talk too much. Since you have decided to go together, you should act quickly."
Mu Shen listened to what she said, looked at her back, and couldn't help but stamp her feet!
…
When we arrived at the nearest city, it was already dusk. The moon was hanging on the branches, but the starlight was strangely not sparse. The air temperature was suitable, so there were many pedestrians on the city streets.
The streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Even though it was late at night, there were still so many shops open, with red lights and colorful lights, selling candied haws and sweet cakes. Shopkeepers shouted loudly at the door. This was the first time in You Xiyun's life that this level of excitement was
see.
"It's so lively tonight?"
When You Xiyun was surprised by the bustle here, Mu Shenqing actually let out an exclamation.
You Xiyun asked: "Isn't it like this on weekdays?"
Mu Shenqing explained: "It's also lively on weekdays, but not to this extent. It should be because today, on Chinese Valentine's Day, there are more couples out."
You Xiyun turned around and looked around, and found that most of the people were indeed in pairs, holding each other's hands directly, and their eyes and smiles were particularly sweet.
"Envy?" Mu Shenqing looked at her with a smile.
You Xiyun responded with a calm look: "I never care about this."
Mu Shenqing nodded: "That's right. It's hard to find someone like you, let alone a partner, or a friend."
You Xiyun did not refute. What Mu Shenqing said was indeed true. She has always been incompatible with her surroundings since she was a child. Because her cultivation speed is too fast, it is impossible for people around her to catch up with her, and they will naturally slow down.
Fading away.
And she will neither wait for those people nor help those people. Cultivation is her own business. If she has time to help others practice, it is better to seize the time to improve herself.
Mu Shenqing took You Xiyun to a restaurant. Just as he was about to walk in, You Xiyun asked, "Aren't we going to buy clothes?"
Mu Shenqing asked: "After you buy the clothes, you go directly to collect the medicine?"
You Xiyun said: "Go after your condition recovers."
"That's it. Since there's no rush, what's the difference between buying clothes before eating and buying clothes after eating?"
You Xiyun thought about it and felt it made sense, so he walked into the restaurant with her.
Lighting crystals illuminate the store, where there are many tables and chairs, most of which are filled with couples.
Mu Shenqing and You Xiyun came to an empty seat and ordered some food and drinks.
"Some time ago, I was practicing swordsmanship and encountered some bottlenecks. I felt depressed, so the master of the pavilion asked me to go for a walk. While relaxing, I also tried to find new insights. Today I happened to be nearby and noticed something abnormal.
So I rushed over. You are lucky."
While eating, Mu Shenqing and You Xiyun explained the reason why she appeared here.
You Xiyun nodded and did not answer. She had already said her thanks. Although she was also proficient in swordsmanship, she was not arrogant enough to give advice to the elders of Lingshen Pavilion.
Mu Shenqing asked: "Why did you come to Tianshen Continent? Just to find those three things?"
"Well, take a look here by the way."
The strong men of the demon clan told her that the Sky God Continent was rich in spiritual energy. It was very dangerous for crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Naturally, she wanted to come and see what dragons and tigers were hidden there.
Mu Shen was stunned, but at the same time he was very confused: "Thousand Melting Flowers... If I remember correctly, those things are not of much help to practice. Why did you take such a big risk to collect them?"
"Practice formation."
"What formation?"
"Empty Song Formation."
Mu Shenqing was slightly shocked: "Kongqu Formation? Why are you practicing this kind of formation?"
Many of the spiritual formations in this world can be arranged directly through the spiritual seals of the spiritual formation master, but there are also some complex formations that require the assistance of other spiritual objects to arrange them.
The Kongqu Formation is considered a useless formation among these formations that is difficult and of little practical use.
You Xiyun said: "Practice."
"..."
Mu Shenqing was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond. She had heard before that this saint from the Demon Clan was born out of nowhere. Not only was she powerful in talent, she was also a cultivator. She would do anything in this world.
Learn what you need to practice.
When I met him today, I realized how obsessed he was with spiritual practice.
Risking your life to collect these things just to practice spiritual formation techniques?
After eating, the two of them continued walking along the street.
On the lively streets, men and women laugh, and the whole city is filled with the sweet smell of love.
"Sister, sister! Buy a lantern!"
A little boy ran up to the two of them, holding a large origami lotus lantern in his hand.
Mu Shenqing said: "No need."
The little boy pestered: "Buy one, buy one! This sister doesn't look happy, maybe she will be happy if she buys one!"
They use their spiritual power to block other people's perception of their appearance, but their expressions can still be seen by others.
Mu Shenqing looked at You Xiyun, who had an indifferent expression on his face, indifferent to the lotus lantern.
Seeing this, Mu Shenqing couldn't help but smile lightly: "Then buy one."
She took out the money and handed it to the little boy.
"Let's go and let it go to the river."
"Have you forgotten that we are here to buy clothes? If it is too late, it may be closed." You Xiyun frowned.
"Will your injury heal today?"
"..."
You Xiyun stopped talking.
Following Mu Shenqing's figure, they came to the river. The boat was rocking on the river, and lotus lanterns floated from upstream to downstream. Many lovers squatted by the river, put notes with wishes into the lotus lanterns, and lit them.
Put down the lotus lantern.
Mu Shenqing came to the river, took out two small notes from the lotus lantern, and handed one of them to You Xiyun.
"what?"
Mu Shenqing explained: "If it is the Chinese Valentine's Day, write down your wishes, put them in a lotus lantern, then light the lotus lantern and put it in the river. If the lotus lantern floats far away, your wish will come true. This is what the folklore of Tianshen Continent says
of."
You Xiyun couldn't help but cast a strange look: "As an elder of Lingshen Pavilion, you actually believe in these folklores?"
Mu Shenqing smiled and said: "Believe it or not, it doesn't affect me. In that case, why not try to believe it?"
She put her note in the palm of her hand and began to write down her wishes.
[I hope to become the most powerful swordsman in the world]
You Xiyun looked at her writing so seriously, hesitated for a moment, and then started writing.
When she finished writing, a snow-white palm appeared in front of her.
She folded the note and handed it over.
Mu Shenqing took it, and when he put the lotus lantern in, he secretly opened it and took a look.
【Breakthrough of Shinto】
Mu Shenqing turned to look at You Xiyun and joked: "I don't believe it on the surface, but my body is quite honest!"
You Xiyun glanced at her coldly and did not respond.
Mu Shenqing knelt down, held the lotus lantern in both hands and put it down. The river flowed from top to bottom, carrying the lit lotus lantern slowly floating downstream.
Their eyes followed the lotus lantern involuntarily, until the light of the lotus lantern completely disappeared.
"Let's go."
Mu Shenqing stood up, turned around and walked towards the street, followed by You Xiyun.
"What wish did you make?"
Walking in the sea of people, You Xiyun asked.
"Break through the divine way." Mu Shenqing said with a suppressed smile.
Seeing that You Xiyun didn't speak, she turned around and looked over and found You Xiyun looking at her coldly. She couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
She laughed and patted You Xiyun on the shoulder, and said in a brisk tone: "I lied to you! I wrote about wanting to become the most powerful swordsman in the world! How about it? As a person from Lingshen Pavilion, this
Isn’t it too much to wish for? In fact, I’m already very good now!”
You Xiyun nodded and said, "I will help you in return for your helping me."
Mu Shenqing's smile gradually faded, and she asked doubtfully: "You help me? How?"
"When I reach perfection, I will practice swordsmanship with you."
"Really or not? How long will it take for you to reach Consummation? It hasn't been many days since you broke through to the Soul Killing, right?"
"A few hundred years at most, soon."
"It sounds like a good deal to help you collect two spiritual objects and get a perfect companion for killing spirits. But a few hundred years is too long to wait?"
"...The Great Success of Killing Spirits."
"To complete the killing of spirits! Deal done!"
"Don't be too pushy..."
"Let's go and buy clothes."
Mu Shenqing interrupted You Xiyun's words and walked quickly forward.
You Xiyun looked at her active figure and felt helpless, unable to do anything.
"A lot of people seem to be buying this sweet cake, let's have some too!"
"This paper umbrella is folded well. It's your first time coming to Tianshen Continent, so you should buy something memorable."
"That bracelet is also very beautiful. The pattern on it is very characteristic of Lingshenzhou."
"Aren't we going to buy clothes..."
The bright moon hangs, and the moonlight falls in the city, its colors obscured by the lights.
You Xiyun followed Mu Shenqing and watched her introduce the characteristics of Tianshen Continent to him. A faint smile suddenly appeared on her originally indifferent face.
"Did you laugh?"
Mu Shenqing has a keen eye.
"Have you had enough fun? It's time to buy clothes."
You Xiyun turned around and walked towards a tailor shop. Mu Shenqing looked at her quickening steps and couldn't help laughing.
"You saint, aren't you still shy?! You just smiled!"
"You talk a lot, could you shut up?"
"Yes, yes, I not only talk a lot, but I also like to meddle in other people's business! Do you think so?"
"...What do you think of these fabrics?"
"Don't you think I talk too much?"
"What a fuss!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chirp-bang!!!
Fireworks exploded high in the sky, and the night sky suddenly became gorgeous.
You Xiyun picked up a piece of cloth and looked at it, while Mu Shenqing was beside her chattering and introducing it.
Just as the night sky suddenly became gorgeous, it was the first time in her hundreds of years of life that she suddenly became so perfect.
After buying one set of ready-made products and two more custom-made sets, they went to a spice shop, where they bought some rouge powder. Naturally, they were naturally beautiful and were powerful soul slayers, so they naturally had no need for these.
So I only bought some spices that could be preserved.
