Xiangcheng, Wuxian Pavilion.
Lin Ji opened his eyes, got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and yawned.
Beside the bed, Lu Zhaoer was looking at him quietly.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Two hours, it's only dusk outside."
"Oh, it seems that even in a dream, Song Cang cannot affect time. But that's right, I am also a Taoist after all."
Lin Ji smiled and said, "Thank you so much for the guardianship of Lu Zhang."
Lu Zhaoer was still confused at this time.
"What happened? Not long after I returned to my room to practice, you came to the door and said you wanted to take a nap, and asked me to protect you. If anything was wrong, you would wake you up..."
"It was the man from Mengxian Sect who came to the door." Lin Ji explained.
After saying that, he found that Lu Zhaoer didn't even have the slightest expression of worry on his face.
"Why, you are not afraid at all when a monk comes to your door?"
"At this moment, you are still thinking of making jokes with me. Obviously the matter has been resolved." Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji as if he were a fool. "Now that it has been resolved, what should I be afraid of?"
"Okay." Lin Ji was speechless, shook his head and said with a smile, "When I was in Xiangcheng before, I had dealt with that fellow Taoist Song, and I competed with the Taoist charm he left on Xu Dingtian, although I only had a brief taste of it. , but something like Tao Yun is like a bright light in the eyes of fellow Taoist monks and cannot be hidden."
"I've heard that my grandfather told me that a monk who has become a Taoist can be regarded as detached from the world when he understands the great road between heaven and earth, so he also carries traces of...my grandfather said it is the great road."
"Almost, I don't know how to describe it." Lin Ji said, "Anyway, after I came to Wucha Town, because I was new here, I didn't use my consciousness to explore, but the other party was already waiting here. ”
"Does he know you are coming to Wucha Town?"
"I think he was originally in Wucha Town. After learning about Xiangcheng, he must have been on guard."
Lin Ji continued: "After I left the inn, I noticed traces of the other party's Tao Yun, so I fell into the trap."
Speaking of this, Lin Ji thought of Hu Baimei's previous act of pretending not to know.
"You really think of me as an ignorant person who has just entered the Taoist realm, haha."
"Then what? Did you take action? In a dream?" Lu Zhaoer became somewhat interested.
Lin Ji simply told what happened before, and then said with a smile: "Hu Baimei never imagined that she would be injured by me in her dream... But speaking of it, when I think about what happened just now, I But on the contrary, I can’t tell whether it’s true or false.”
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer pointed behind Lin Ji and said, "You woke up from the bed, so that's a lie."
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Lin Ji shook his head.
"The illusion of the fox demon and the clone of the fox demon are real...Forget it, these other people's ways are too weird, let alone the dream way, which is real and illusory, and I don't want to understand it. Tao is even more difficult to understand.”
"But no matter what, my two swords actually eliminated Hu Baimei's karma. This is enough. If there is anything else, let's talk about it next time we fight."
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer asked: "Then you will no longer care about this matter?"
"I can't control them even if I want to. Those two are old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. Their methods are unpredictable. Let's talk about it later when we meet them."
"What about Xu Dingtian...?"
"If he wants to survive, he can only look at himself. If the Taiyi Sect really wants to protect him, his life can always be saved." Lin Ji said.
Lu Zhaoer shook his head and said: "His cultivation relies entirely on killing innocent people through dreams. The Taiyi Sect will not let him go."
"It all depends on him. Whether he will be imprisoned forever by the Taiyi Sect, or his body will be taken away by Song Cang... No matter what, with his behavior, he is just to blame."
Having said this, Lin Ji stood up and walked out, with a bit of regret in his tone.
"It's a pity. I originally regarded him as a good friend."
"Where are you going?" Lu Zhaoer asked.
"I was in a dream just now, and now I have to go out for a walk to see the night view of Wucha Town." Lin Ji said, "This afternoon has delayed your practice. You can continue in the evening."
Lu Zhaoer nodded, stood up and walked out of the room ahead of Lin Ji.
Moments before she returned to her room, she stood outside the door and looked at Lin Ji, who had also gone out.
"Tell me back and tell me about the grand occasion of selecting courtesans in Minghua House. Although I haven't seen it, I am still a little curious... It's just the land of smoke and willows. How can you let a bunch of stinky men be like this? Linger?"
Lin Ji paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated his steps downstairs without looking back.
"Aha, the night in Wucha Town is really nice."
...
Yunzhou, Qingqiu Valley.
It is the cold winter season, and Yunzhou in the north is even more freezing.
Even the war between Great Qin and the barbarians stopped.
But in this Qingqiu Valley, it is already full of spring and bright with hundreds of flowers blooming.
Between the gurgling streams, you can often see ignorant creatures playing briskly, and occasionally a few fiery red fox figures leap over, chasing and playing.
Down the stream, the water ripples on the lake as the stream grows into a river and then a waterfall cascades down.
On both sides of the lakeshore, there are pavilions and pavilions in a patchwork manner. You can often see girls with beautiful faces and excellent figures passing by in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
In a pavilion by the lake.
An old man poured some wine and pushed it towards the pale-looking Keren next to him.
"I didn't expect Lin Ji's cause and effect to be so weird. Yunzhou and Xiangzhou are thousands of miles apart, but he could actually hit you with two swords. It's incredible."
Hu Baimei opened her eyes and exhaled a foul breath.
"It's a pity that my clone is too weak, and your dream is just an illusion. Otherwise, if you and I join forces, we might be able to kill him."
Hu Baimei picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then quietly put the glass down.
Her eyes fell on the snacks on the table, and she just glanced at them.
Song Cang on the side immediately understood, picked up a piece of peach cake and brought it to her mouth.
Hu Baimei shook her head.
"I have lived for a thousand years, and I thought I would have a hard-hearted heart. Who would have thought that I would let you spoil me rotten." She said this, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on her charming face, "It won't be good if it goes on like this. .”
"I've only pampered you for more than a hundred years, and that's not enough."
Song Cang put down the peach cake and looked at the lake behind him.
"After I take away that boy Xu's body and become a Taoist again, I will pamper you for hundreds more years."
Having said this, Song Cang stood up again.
"My husband is leaving. There are still a lot of business matters to be done before taking over the body."
There was a bit of reluctance in Hu Baimei's eyes, but she didn't hold him back.
"Is it about the Eternal Life Palace?"
Song Cang nodded slightly.
"After all, I was sent by the deputy palace master. If it weren't for the way to enter the Tao after seizing the body, how could I be willing to be separated from you, madam? Once this happens, I will never leave again. From now on, I will be with you. I will live in this Qingqiu Valley and spend the rest of my life hand in hand with my wife."
