At this moment, Xiang Shu's consciousness moved and he looked behind him.
I saw a spirit boat flying from a distance. Although the spirit boat was of low quality, its decoration was quite exquisite.
The aura in the spirit boat is chaotic, and the person with the highest level of cultivation is only at the elixir-forming stage.
Sensing this, Xiang Shu flew directly towards the spirit boat.
Everyone on the spirit boat was alert when they saw someone blocking the way. But now they saw Xiang Shu flying directly towards them, which immediately aroused even greater alert.
Before Xiang Chuan flew under the boat, a sharp voice came out, "Stop whoever is coming! This is the Lin Lingzhou of the Yuan family in Xitian City. If you dare to invade, my Yuan family will not take mercy lightly!"
Xitian City’s cultivator family? What a coincidence.
Xiang Liuliu raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped as he was told, and spoke loudly: "Fellow Taoists, don't be alarmed. I am a casual cultivator in the next group and am about to go to Xitian City. However, I am not familiar with this place and I got lost here."
I wonder if you can allow me to follow the spirit boat? As soon as I arrived at Xitian City, I left immediately without disturbing you. "
When the leading middle-aged monk on the spirit boat heard this, he immediately frowned, then turned around and hurried to the uppermost room of the cabin.
Before he could knock on the door and go in, he saw a woman in a goose-yellow shirt and skirt wearing a draped hat and magic weapon come out and said as she walked:
"I heard what was said outside. Uncle Ling, what do you think?"
"Can't agree!"
The middle-aged monk who was called "Uncle Ling" said firmly, "Miss, that thing is of great importance. Although we act in secret, there is no airtight wall in the world.
If the female nun outside is not interested in drinking, but is a spy from some party, it would be too risky for us to let her follow. "
The woman in the yellow shirt nodded slightly, said nothing, walked to the edge of the deck, and looked down through the curtain hat with a pair of sharp eyes.
Outside the spirit boat, Xiang Shu noticed a hidden gaze falling on him, and immediately followed the gaze and looked back.
The woman in yellow shirt was startled and quickly looked away.
He is just a casual cultivator in the early stage of forming a pill, but his perception is so sharp...
And whether it was an illusion or not, she actually felt that the other person's aura was very friendly, and she couldn't help but want to get close to him.
She touched the end of her eyes, pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Uncle Ling, invite her on board."
"Okay, I'll drive her away now..."
In the middle of his words, the middle-aged monk suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Miss, what did you say?"
After a while, the middle-aged monk had a calm face and took Xiang Shu to the Lingzhou reception room. Then he stood aside and stared at Xiang Shu.
He has clearly made the stakes clear,
The eldest lady still wants to invite people on board, which is really reckless.
As a subordinate, he could only bring people on board.
But if the other party makes any changes, he will not hesitate to disobey orders and take action, even if he is punished afterwards.
Xiang Shu couldn't hear what the middle-aged monk was thinking, but he could tell something from his gloomy face.
She was also surprised.
When monks are walking outside, murders and treasure grabbing happen from time to time, so it is normal for them to be wary of each other.
She only wanted to hang behind the spirit boat and follow her, but she never thought that the owner of the boat would directly invite her into the boat. Is he really not afraid of attracting wolves into his house?
Thoughts were swirling in her mind, and not long after, the woman in yellow clothes walked out from the screen in the back room, but the curtain on her head disappeared, revealing a small face like a flower.
This face was born cute, but a pair of erect golden pupils embedded in the eye sockets turned the cuteness into a coquettish one, pure and seductive.
The middle-aged monk was shocked, "Miss, why did you take off the curtain?!"
The woman in yellow shirt ignored the middle-aged monk and instead turned to Shuo and said, "My little girl Yuan Jing is the only daughter of the Yuan family in Xitian City. Don't you know your surname?"
Xiang Shu looked at the woman in the yellow shirt for a moment, then suddenly curved his lips and smiled, "I hope your surname is Li."
When the middle-aged monk heard these four words, he was immediately furious, "You casual cultivator, how rude! My lady has already told her her full name, but you only told her one surname, you..."
"Uncle Ling."
Yuan Jing interrupted the middle-aged Xiu with a faint voice.
scholar.
When the middle-aged monk saw his young lady's expression, he knew he was angry and immediately shut up.
Yuan Jing then regained her smile and said apologetically: "Fellow Taoist Li, this is my teacher, I call you Lingshan.
Uncle Ling taught me cultivation since I was a child. Although he is a subordinate in the family, to me, he is no different from a relative.
He is also concerned about chaos, Taoist friends, don't blame him. "
Xiang Shu shook his head and chuckled, "I don't take it to heart about trivial matters, and Miss Yuan doesn't take it seriously."
After saying these words, Lingshan's iron-green face suddenly softened a lot, and at the same time, he felt increasingly weird in his heart.
The eldest lady is kind to others, but she is proud at heart. Why is she so courteous to a female casual cultivator whom she has never met before?
He was puzzled for a moment, and Yuan Jing laughed again: "Friend Li Dao is really broad-minded. It will take one day for the spirit boat to go to Xitian City.
There were all male cultivators on the spiritual boat, and I was the only one who was a woman. The journey was boring, so if fellow Taoists could not stop here, I would also have someone to chat with. "
There was a faint glint in Xiang Shen's eyes, but on the surface he was obedient: "Miss Yuan is so kind, so I'd rather be respectful than obey."
When Yuan Jing heard this, she immediately smiled even more happily, "Uncle Ling, hurry up and arrange a room for fellow Taoist Li. He will live next door to me."
Lingshan nodded, immediately walked to Xiang Shu, and snorted: "Follow me."
Xiang Shu smiled slightly and said, "Please lead the way."
As the owner of Lingzhou, Yuan Jing's room is naturally the best, and the room next door is not much different. The furnishings in the house are quite exquisite, revealing her family's heritage everywhere.
Xiang Shu took a rough look at it, then withdrew his gaze and sat down on the sofa.
Thinking of Yuan Jing's obvious temptation, she couldn't help but smile.
After all, he is young and does not have much experience.
She originally suspected that the other party was being reckless and had other plans, but when she saw those snake eyes, she immediately understood the whole story.
She came out of the Ancestral Demon Temple and took the star map with her. There was still some scent of the Abyssal Snake Clan on her body.
This smell cannot be detected by ordinary monks, but it may be touched by people of the same clan.
Yuan Jing obviously felt something, so she had a very different attitude towards her.
She didn't need to pay attention to such temptations. After rejecting Yuan Jing, if she concealed her aura and hung far behind the spirit boat, she could also reach Xitian City.
But when she saw those snake eyes, she became interested in exploring. It was still too early for Xitian City to invite her, so she simply followed the trend and stayed.
He rubbed the blood ring position out of habit and narrowed his eyes slightly.
With her eyesight, she could tell that Yuan Jing's cultivation aura was pure and she was definitely a 100% human monk, not a half-demon.
Those snake eyes are strange and can be touched by the aura of the Abyss Snake clan. Could it be...
Various thoughts passed through Xiang Shen's mind, but she quickly suppressed them all. Then she took out a blank jade slip and started carving it.
Throughout the afternoon, everyone in Lingzhou performed their duties. Yuan Jing seemed to have forgotten Xiang Shu and did not bother him.
Lingshan presided over the spirit boat formation, alerting the surroundings on the road ahead. He glanced back at Xiang Shen's room from time to time, half of his guard already down.
Lingzhou has a long history of blocking detection. If this female cultivator is a bandit spy and wants to spread the news, she must use some tricks in the formation.
But seeing that the opponent didn't even come out of the house, it was obvious that he had no idea about the strategy.
When the spy said it, he naturally had no way of talking about it.
Thinking of this, Lingshan was happy but also felt a little pity.
Fortunately, this was the first transaction led by the eldest lady, and there was no trouble after all.
It's a pity that the eldest lady can't be taught a lesson.
The lady's kindness is good for ordinary people, but in the world of cultivation, it is a disaster.
I was lucky this time, but what about next time?
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a powerful evil cultivator, your life may be in danger.
Thinking of this, Lingshan sighed deeply.
In the blink of an eye, night falls, and the spiritual stone lamps in the boat light up one after another.
Suffocated
After spending the entire afternoon, Yuan Jing finally lost her temper and knocked on Xiang Shu's door.
As soon as Xiang Shu opened the door, he saw Yuan Jing smiling and saying:
"Fellow Taoist Li, during my business trip, I got a lot of new spiritual fruits, and I don't know who to share them with. Would you be interested, fellow Taoist, to taste them with me?"
"Ms. Yuan, you're welcome."
Xiang Shen smiled neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am a casual cultivator, so I am lucky to be able to taste the spiritual fruit with Miss Yuan."
"Young Daoyou Li is really humble."
Yuan Jing covered her mouth and smiled softly. Just as she was about to say a few more polite words, she glanced at the desk in the room and was immediately attracted by the ancient jade slips on the table.
"Fellow Daoist Li, may I ask this..."
She couldn't help but make a sound, pretending to be curious.
Xiang Shu smiled warmly and casually took the jade slip on the table and handed it to Yuan Jing, "It's just a casually carved gadget. If Miss Yuan likes it, just take it."
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Yuan Jing also relaxed her expression. She lowered her head and scanned her spiritual consciousness, and her heart skipped a beat.
There were all kinds of ancient characters on the jade slips, and she didn't recognize any of them.
But there is a kind of writing in it that is three-thirds similar to what is written in the heavenly book at home!
Grandpa said that the Yuan family used to be a very glorious family, but it declined because of the loss of writing.
If fellow Taoist Li recognizes...
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and looked up at Xiang Shu, her eyes shining.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you are just like Miss Yuan. You are too cute. I felt very close to you when I first met you. If you don't dislike me, how about you be like sisters?"
I am sixty-seven years old this year. Is Fellow Li Dao my elder sister or younger sister? "
Xiang Shu couldn't help but feel speechless when he looked at Yuan Jing's enthusiastic smile that could not be concealed.
The little girl smiled, but the shrewdness in her previous pretense of testing was gone, and she looked a bit stupid.
"I am older than you."
"Then I'll call you Sister Li!"
Yuan Jing held Xiang Shu's arm affectionately, "Sister Li, I'll take you to try the Shuangling Fruit. It's ice cold and delicious!"
Lingshan controlled the formation and glanced back at Xiang Shu's room out of habit. He happened to see Yuan Jing holding Xiang Shu's arm and walking out. They were talking and laughing all the way to the living room, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and before he could take another look, he heard Yuan Jing's voice in his ears.
"Uncle Ling, I remember that you have a lot of other spiritual fruits stored there, so I'll send you a copy of each."
The corners of Lingshan's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
What happened to the eldest lady? How could a mere casual cultivator really become a guest of his Yuan family?
