Chapter 149: The Sword Cultivator Cousin in the Immortal Cultivation Novel (1)
"A trick." Seeing Lin Xi eagerly wanting to squat down and scoop up a handful of lake water under her feet, Wei Qingchuan, who had originally planned to ignore her, couldn't help but speak.
Lin Xi, who was about to roll up her sleeves, paused, sneered, and withdrew her hand. She secretly complained in her heart, how come this person is just like the worm in her stomach? Does she look like someone who has never seen the world and likes to play in the water?
But even though she complained, she was still very grateful for Wei Qingchuan's kindness. After all, with this sleight of hand, although she knew it was an illusion, she no longer felt dizzy and afraid of heights. So she said thank you to Wei Qingchuan very embarrassedly, and nothing happened during the rest of the trip.
About an hour later, the group finally arrived at their destination. However, before entering this gray and somewhat dilapidated-looking town, Yue Qian directed everyone to change their attire.
But in just a moment, everyone who had their sleeves fluttering in the wind changed their appearance, and their snow-blue robes were all replaced with gray short suits.
Looking at the group of people who blended in perfectly with the surrounding environment, Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh: It's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse! Look, even a pretty face like Luo Qinghe's looked a little dim under the contrast of this dress.
The gray group quickly entered the city and found a gray inn. A gray waiter came up to them and asked them whether they wanted to eat or stay overnight.
Except for Lin Xi, everyone in the group had already fasted. But in response to the waiter's question, the leader Wei Qingchuan quickly glanced at the empty hall and said to the waiter, "Bring two pots of tea." At this point, his eyes happened to sweep over Lin Xi who was looking at him eagerly. After a pause, he added, "Bring some snacks."
The waiter took the tip and happily ran to the kitchen. The group sat down at the largest table in the middle of the hall and began to discuss their next plans.
"This Mosan Town looks much more desolate than the last time we came here." Yue Qian said to Wei Qingchuan.
"The barrier is unstable, and I think many monsters will flee and cause chaos, so naturally the people will suffer." Wei Qingchuan frowned as he recalled the bleak scene he had seen since entering the city.
“But doesn’t Mosan Town have a protective barrier left by that person? How come it’s still…” Yue Qian’s face darkened.
"Time has passed, and it has been a thousand years since that immortal ascended to heaven. The barrier he left behind will naturally become weaker and weaker."
As Lin Xi listened to the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but recall the introduction of this part in the original plot.
The heroine and her group came here from afar because an elder in the sect was about to break through, but the elixir that would help him break through was missing an ingredient, and this ingredient only grew in the human-demon barrier, so in order to collect the herbs and also to give the disciples some experience, they made this trip.
But on their way to collect herbs, they discovered that the human-demon barrier had loosened, and many monsters ran out and caused chaos everywhere, so they killed monsters along the way and headed towards the barrier.
Finally, when they arrived at the human-demon barrier, they found out that there was an internal strife among the demons. There was a traitor among the demons who wanted to kill the Demon Lord and seize the throne. The battle between the two sides led to the loosening of the human-demon barrier, and the Demon Lord also disappeared in this battle.
The group passed the news back to the sect and took a lot of effort to reinforce the barrier. On the way to collect herbs, the heroine found the seriously injured and unconscious Demon Lord Ji Xiaowu.
Ji Xiaowu's cultivation level was greatly reduced, and when he saw a group of righteous sword cultivators, he naturally did not dare to reveal his identity, so he could only disguise himself as a poor young man whose entire family was slaughtered by the demons. The heroine was kind-hearted, so she brought him back to the sect, and then what happened next were the plots that Lin Xi saw first.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but glance at Luo Qinghe, who was listening to her senior brothers and sisters seriously, and sighed imperceptibly.
Luo Qinghe is a truly innocent and kind little white flower. Since she has been the darling of the sect since she was a child, she is naturally full of kindness towards the world outside the sect and has no guard at all. This is the case when she faces herself, and the same is true when facing Ji Xiaowu.
Although it was not caused by her subjective intention, it was precisely because of her kindness that she let the wolf into the house, leading to such a tragic ending in the end.
However, Lin Xi would not stand on the moral high ground to accuse her. Kindness is never wrong. The wrong ones are those who use kindness to do bad things, such as Ji Xiaowu and those hypocritical immortal sects. It was because of their selfishness that the entire Lingyun Immortal Sect suffered a tragic end, with the three realms of humans, immortals and demons suffering widespread grief.
Thinking of the heroic figure who, after learning that no one in the sect that gave birth to her and raised her survived, charged into the Hundred Immortals Alliance alone, and finally resolutely committed suicide, Lin Xi couldn't help but reach out and hold Luo Qinghe's hand under the table.
"What's wrong, Miss Lin?" The pretty girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Xi with concern in her bright eyes.
"It's okay, I just felt a little scared when I heard about the monster." Lin Xi blinked, looking sad.
Seeing her like this, Luo Qinghe held Lin Xi's hand, as if this could give her some strength, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." At this point, she seemed to suddenly remember the fact that she almost threw Lin Xi from the air today, smiled awkwardly, and changed her words, "Senior Brother will protect us."
Looking at the lively expression on her face, Lin Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Suddenly, everyone at the long table looked at her. Wei Qingchuan frowned, and although he didn't say anything, the look he gave Lin Xi was cold and stern.
Lin Xi braved everyone's gazes and silently hid behind Luo Qinghe. Luo Qinghe understood and also moved her body to block everyone's sight for her.
Wei Qingchuan closed his eyes, then opened them again, and continued, "The Dark Fire Lotus grows on both sides of the Boundary River. Only a Jindan-stage cultivator can withstand the invasion of the demonic energy in the Boundary River. Every day at noon is the time when the demonic energy is the thinnest, so tomorrow Yue Qian and I will go to pick it, and Song Xue and He Nian will meet us in Lingchuan. As for you." At this point, his eyes swept across Luo Qinghe and Lin Xi's faces, "Just wait here, don't run around."
"Big Brother, let me go with Senior Sister Songxue and the others. I can help." Luo Qinghe said hurriedly.
"No."
"Can't!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, two voices of dissuasion were heard at the same time from the long table.
Lin Xi looked at Luo Qinghe and Wei Qingchuan who were looking at her at the same time, swallowed silently, and said hesitantly: "Well, well, Taoist Luo, don't go. I'm scared here alone."
