"Thank you, Lord Riyoushen, for making it possible."
"Everyone is on the right path and should help each other."
After briefly chatting with Chai Jiangcui for a few words, Ri Xuanyou then dissipated and returned to Yinsi.
After the day parade left, the little fox emerged from behind Chai Jiangcui, but now it seemed much more well-behaved and began to eat more slowly.
"What? Are you afraid of seeing ghosts and gods?"
Chai Jiangcui burst out laughing. The little fox was shaking so badly when he saw Sun Xunyou. He was probably in this state because of being frightened.
"Master, what do you think will happen if I enter a human town without you?"
"I don't know, but if there is a City God's Temple in the city, there is a high probability that the ghosts and gods patrolling the streets will treat it as a monster and kill it. After all, the look that the God of Japan looked at just now was not so friendly."
Chai Jiangcui's guess is actually very close to the truth. In the Shinto lineage, except for the nature-loving gods such as the earth and mountain gods, other gods have a hostile attitude towards monsters.
The little fox swallowed and completely gave up the idea of getting rid of Chai Jiangcui's control and living happily in the human city.
The human world is too scary, but it is more free in the mountains and forests.
Returning to the inn where he lived, Chai Jiangcui met Jiang An again. Jiang An handed the book in his hand to Chai Jiangcui, and also thoughtfully attached a more detailed map of Ningzhou.
With this map, Chai Jiangcui is in Ningzhou, so at least he doesn't have to worry about taking the wrong path again.
Browsing the map in his hand, Chai Jiangcui tapped a place with his finger - Liangya Mountain, a small town in Ningzhou opened by Wuyou Sect, a medium-sized immortal cultivating sect. It is a good place for practitioners to exchange knowledge and experience.
"The next stop is Lianya Shanfang City."
Comparing the straight-line distance between Liangya Mountain and Anpan County, it is nearly 800 miles, and the real distance may be more than twice that.
However, Chai Jiangcui didn't care much about the distance. Seeing the local customs and customs along the way was also one of the purposes of her trip.
After resting in the inn for two days, Chai Jiangcui once again used the illusion skill to embark on the journey. However, at Bai Yuan's strong request, in addition to his own things, Chai Jiangcui also brought a lot of packaged food in his storage bag.
There is a complete vacuum in the storage bag, so there is no need to worry about food spoiling.
…
More than half a month later, a ruined temple in the forest,
This ruined temple has been abandoned for an unknown period of time. The clay sculpture heads of the statues in the lobby have long since disappeared, half of the door to protect it from the wind and snow is missing, and the roof is covered with thick spider webs.
In the entire ruined temple, only the open space under the statue was slightly clean and there were burned ashes around it. I think many caravans and travelers must have stayed here.
Chai Jiangcui sat by the bonfire, feeling the warmth from the bonfire, and had a lot of thoughts in her heart.
Today is her first New Year's Eve in this world,
It's just that unlike other people's family joy, having a reunion dinner with her family at home, her New Year could only be spent in a ruined temple, looking at the bonfire in front of her, alone.
"I don't know how dad is doing. Will he be made things difficult by Zhou Mu? And Jiujiu, what will his expression be like when he sees the letter I left for him? This innocent boy will definitely be so ashamed that he wants to find someone to hide in.
Get in there."
Thinking of the faces of Chai Jian and Jiu Jiu, the corners of Miss Chai's lips slightly raised. Unknowingly, she also had someone she cared about here.
"Master, master! Look, I caught another hare. You should roast it quickly. Bai Yuan is hungry."
A white figure rushed into the hall, and the crisp voice of a young girl echoed in the temple. During this period, Chai Jiangcui relied on his superb cooking skills to successfully capture the little fox's stomach.
Now, whenever the little guy has free time, he will trouble pheasants and hares, and then pester Chai Jiangcui to make food for them.
'I almost forgot that there is such a fox accompanying me to celebrate the New Year.'
Chai Jiangcui smiled and took the hare from the white fox with one move.
"Go and wait nearby. I'll call you when it's done."
…
As soon as midnight arrived on New Year's Eve, Chai Jiangcui suddenly felt a light breath falling into the world. All the turbid air around her was briefly suppressed by this light breath, and her cultivation speed unexpectedly increased by one.
Big cut.
"Is this what the book says about the benefits of the first day of the new year to practitioners? The clearness rises and the turbidity descends, and evil spirits retreat."
Sensing the increasingly ethereal Dantian, Chai Jiangcui called the little fox to keep watch, while he himself fell into complete trance.
She didn't want to miss the great opportunity to practice that came only once a year.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Chai Jiangcui and Bai Yuan finished taking care of the remaining rabbit legs from last night and left the ruined temple in the wind and snow.
Liangya Mountain is not far away, and we should be able to reach it in two days' walking.
Liangya Mountain is called Evergreen Mountain by nearby villagers. In the season when all things are withered, Liangya Mountain is still lush and leafy, and is a paradise for nearby birds and animals to escape the winter.
Legend has it that this mountain has magical powers. Villagers have no problem cutting down trees and hunting at the foot of the mountain. However, as long as someone wants to go up the mountain, they will lose their way unknowingly. When they recognize the road again, they have returned to the time when they entered the mountain.
's origin.
There are even rumors that the mountain is the residence of immortals. As long as someone is lucky enough to enter the mountain, they can obtain the immortal fate that countless people dream of.
However, Chai Jiangcui knew that this was just a simple illusion array set up around Liangya Mountain by the Wuyou Sect that managed the city on the mountain. A practitioner could see through it by focusing his spiritual power on his eyes.
Even if a villager accidentally breaks in, there is a high probability that they will just be sent back with blurred memories.
Immortality is not so easy to find.
Leading the donkey, Chai Jiangcui walked along the mountain road towards the top of the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, a place wrapped in thick fog appeared in front of her. Not far away, a young man in Taoist robes stood beside the thick fog.
The young man slapped Chai Jiangcui on his head and said, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Fellow Taoist, it seems familiar to you, but this is your first time in Liangyashanfang City?"
Chai Jiangcui responded with a salute, "Yes, I traveled here and heard that this is a city under the jurisdiction of Wuyou Sect, so I came here to take a look."
"In that case, fellow Taoist, please keep this token. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the city."
The young man handed a fish-shaped white jade sign to Chai Jiangcui and continued:
Fellow Taoist, please also abide by the rules in Fang City and do not allow private fights. No matter what grudges you have, they must be settled in Fang City. Otherwise, my Wuyoumen guards will not be polite."
"This is nature. Maintaining a good environment is good for everyone in Ha province."
Chai Jiangcui held the jade sign and successfully entered the thick fog.
After passing through the thick fog, a place that looked like a human market suddenly appeared in front of Chai Jiangcui's eyes, but compared to an ordinary market in the human world, the pedestrians here seemed much weirder.
Strange costumes are the norm here. Chai Jiangcui even saw two monsters with human bodies and animal heads walking openly and openly in Fang City.
No wonder the young man didn't react at all when he saw Bai Yuan in Chai Jiangcui's arms. It turns out he was just used to it.
In the market, as long as you don't cause trouble and do business sincerely, except for those notorious demons, the Wuyou Sect will turn a blind eye.
