Lin Xixue thought in her mind that if she could collect all the materials for the Seven Emotions Mask and hand them over to the City God Temple, it might be possible to resolve the conflict between the two parties. Could he please take action?
But she couldn't help but worry. It would take a month to return to Ninghai City by boat, and another month to return to Xinliang City by carriage. What if she arrived at the City God's Temple and found that the temple's blessings were not capable of solving this problem? ?
"Do you know which immortal sects are good at the art of the soul?" Lin Xixue asked.
Bai Qing was a little confused: "Among the immortal sects in the East China Sea, Fushen Sect specializes in the way of the soul. However, there was a sudden change yesterday. Fushen Sect's deputy sect leader, three elders, and more than ten elite disciples all died. We can't come here at the moment. explain."
"If we say that outside the East China Sea, in the extremely cold northern region, there is a Tingxuelou who takes in female disciples and is quite knowledgeable about this, but it's just a matter of time..."
"If you don't worry about me and just take Xu Zhiyi to Tingxue Tower, will you have enough time?"
"I'm afraid it's a bit reluctant."
"Then how long will it take for you to rush back to Liangcheng alone?"
Bai Qing asked in confusion: "What are you doing in replying to Liang Cheng?"
"I have previously dealt with Miao Zhu from the Chenghuang Temple in Xinliang City. He also often interacts with ghostly things. If I can get his help, this matter may be able to turn around." Lin Xixue explained.
"It's just that, firstly, I have some grudges with him, and secondly, I'm not completely sure that he can solve this problem."
"So if you can go back to Xinliang City first and ask him if he can solve this problem, I will take Zhiyi to chase after you. After you ask clearly, come back and join us."
"In this case, even if he can't solve it, we can change the route and find another way halfway, which will give us more leeway."
Bai Qing calculated with her fingers and said: "If I escape alone with all my strength, I can reach Xinliang City in about ten days, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that... disciples with strict sect rules come into contact with the temple. I know that Lantau Mountain is gone, but this sect rule is by no means aimless, because senior brother went to Lingju Mountain Jubao Temple to track down the missing disciples. It is contaminated with evil spirits."
"Wait a minute, where did you just say that your senior brother was contaminated with evil spirits?" Lin Xixue suddenly became alert when she heard the words "Jubao Chanyuan".
"Lingju Mountain, Jubao Temple, do you know?" Bai Qing became anxious when she saw that Lin Xixue might know something.
Lin Xixue took out a wooden fish from the void and turned the bottom over, revealing the inscription "Bafang Jubaosha is a gift to the great benefactor".
"I found this object in the landowner's house in Na Rongjia Village before. Although it says Bafang Jubao Temple instead of Jubao Chanyuan, I think the two should be closely related. Maybe..."
Before she could finish her words, the jade slips in Langhuan Pavilion that had turned into gold and silver rose into the air and rushed straight towards the wooden fish. The mountain below them was pulled by an unknown force and began to faintly shake.
She didn't expect such a change for a while, and she accidentally let the wooden fish swallow two pieces of gold.
Then, the wooden fish actually made a rhythmic tapping sound on its own.
There seemed to be Sanskrit whispers around him echoing the crisp "dong dong" sound. The golden barrier was quickly blown up like a bubble and attached to the wall of the pavilion. The wall reflected golden light, just like the pure land of the Buddha.
When Lin Xixue heard the Sanskrit whisper, she felt a little confused for a moment, and almost instinctively threw the wooden fish into the void.
The gold and silver nuggets flying around fell to the ground instantly, making a tiny crackling sound.
Although the Sanskrit whisper in Lin Xixue's ears disappeared, it rang directly in her mind.
She felt that her head was unusually swollen, like a full water balloon that was still filling with water and almost bursting. She even felt as if her brain was about to be squeezed out of her ears.
She couldn't help the severe nausea and rolled a few times on the ground, and the jade book fell out of her sleeve robe.
The jade book opened on its own. Originally it only contained the rank of Immortal Official, but unexpectedly other contents were written at some point.
[Passing through...Chemical Industry...]
[Qing...Leizu...]
[... Wen Bao... Offer gold...]
These contents are incomplete, some have been delineated, and some are simply painted with red paint to form an ink ball.
The original wordless jade book was turned into almost useless paper by someone who didn't know when.
The pressure in Lin Xixue's skull continued to increase. She felt as if her eyeballs were being squeezed out, as if something penetrated her nasal cavity and spurted out.
She stretched out her hand and wiped it, only to realize that the nosebleed this time was not dark red, but light pink with some white, mixed with some white tofu-like crumbs.
She only felt that the surroundings of her vision were darkening, but in the center of her vision were white snowflakes flashing randomly. The jade album in front of her turned into rosary beads for a while, and turned into peach charms for a while. When she looked carefully again, it turned back into a jade album.
There was a sharp tinnitus in her head that almost pierced her eardrums, covering up the Sanskrit whispers, and she completely lost consciousness.
...
The sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels came to her ears again, and Lin Xixue's consciousness slowly recovered.
She gently rubbed her temples and looked at the familiar carriage with some confusion.
There was a large locked box with iron hoops placed in the corner of the carriage. Xu Zhiyi was sleeping quietly beside it, still holding the broken sword tightly in his hand.
However, there was no Bai Qing in the carriage. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a familiar broad figure.
"Brother Niu, why is it you?"
"Hey, it's me, don't dislike me. I know I snore loudly when I sleep and grind my teeth, but I'm fine now. That medical clinic in Ninghai City is really amazing!"
Niu Zhuang's honest voice was a little more confident and proud.
"Now I can give my mother-in-law a surprise when I go back. She used to grind her teeth because of my snoring, and she complained about me every day."
Lin Xixue climbed out of the car, sat next to Niu Zhuang, and said, "Brother Niu is joking, why would he dislike you? Even I thought it was Sister Bai who was driving. I didn't expect it was you."
"Haha, this is fate. A few days ago, I went to the hospital to treat my snoring. I happened to meet Master Bai Xian coming out of the hospital. Then she entrusted you two to me and asked me to take you two back to Xinliang City. .”
"Sister Bai is coming out of the hospital?"
"Yes, coming out of the back hall, it feels like Master Bai Xian knows the owner of this medical center and can come in and out of the back hall at will."
Lin Xixue was a little surprised. The teleportation array should have been destroyed, so why did she still come out of the medical center.
But then I thought about it, Lantau Mountain disciples from the four disciplines of Dan, Talisman, Qi, and Formation, it seemed that it was not impossible to repair the teleportation formation, and I had actually forgotten about it.
"Oh, by the way, Master Bai Xian asked me to bring you a message. She said that according to your words, she would rush back to Xinliang City first. After making sure it is correct, she would return along the way to meet us."
When Lin Xixue heard this, she felt a little uneasy. Bai Qing had written back to Liang Cheng first, but wasn't she not allowed to contact the temple?
If she rashly enters the City God's Temple and becomes contaminated with evil spirits like her senior brother, then it will really be the worst outcome.
She was a little unsure. If Bai Qing found a messenger to convey the message on her behalf, this would still be considered contact.
But now that Bai Qing has set off, she can no longer catch up even if she wants to. I hope she can find a suitable way to communicate with Miao Zhu.
For some reason, Lin Xixue felt a little panicked when she thought of Bai Qing's mention of the Mysterious Technique. She could only pray silently in her heart that Bai Qing's trip would go smoothly...
