Chapter 76: Original Intention
Hua Changxi noticed that the leader of the Demon Suppression Army was very sharp, so she didn't dare to stare at him, walked to the small stall on the street, looked at the objects on the stall, and paid attention to how the government arranged for the injured people.
"Little lady, are you going to buy it or not?"
At a rouge and powder stall, the merchant saw Hua Changxi picking up this rouge to look at, picking up that powder to smell, almost looking at everything on his stall, but not saying whether to buy it or not, and really couldn't help but speak.
Hua Changxi smiled awkwardly. She didn't need rouge and powder, but staying at the stall for so long, she felt embarrassed and was planning to buy a box of rouge to mean it, when she inadvertently saw the lucky doll mask placed behind the stall.
"Boss, are you selling this lucky doll mask?"
The merchant looked at Hua Changxi somewhat unspeakably: "This is for my little grandson to play with."
Hua Changxi took out a corner of silver: "Boss, I like this mask very much, can you part with it?"
The merchant looked at the silver, was silent for a while, and decisively handed the lucky doll mask to Hua Changxi: "Little lady, you have a good eye. This lucky doll mask has been blessed in a temple. After you wear it, I guarantee that you will get what you want in the future and marry a satisfactory husband."
"Borrow your auspicious words."
Hua Changxi gave the silver to the boss and took the lucky doll mask with a smile.
This mask was made cute and naive, very much like the Mountain Spirit and Little Pine.
It happened that there was a mirror on the stall, so Hua Changxi put on the mask, looked at herself in the mirror, and felt it was quite good.
The merchant was also a good talker: "Little lady, once you wear this mask, it is truly full of good fortune. This mask is simply tailor-made for you."
"I also think this mask suits me very well."
Hua Changxi smiled and looked at herself in the mirror for a while, feeling that after wearing the mask, her sense of security had improved a lot. No wonder the Demon Suppression Army wanted to wear masks. Sure enough, everything that exists has its reasons.
"Boss, I wish you a prosperous business, I'm leaving."
The merchant watched Hua Changxi leave wearing the mask and shook his head with a smile: "This little lady, her playfulness is even greater than my little grandson's."
Hua Changxi saw the government officials sending the injured people into a medical clinic, followed them to watch, and learned from the people around that the government had promised that the medical expenses for the injured would be free, and those whose houses were destroyed could also receive a subsidy.
"The Inspector is a parent official who cares about the people."
"Yes, many people whose houses were destroyed felt that the sky was about to collapse a moment ago, but now the situation has turned around. With the government's subsidy, they can also cheer up again."
"Isn't that so."
Seeing that the Demon Suppression Army had taken the pills and handled the matter, Hua Changxi was relieved and prepared to leave Daicheng to return to the Three-Fork Medicine Valley. When leaving the medical clinic, she saw the Demon Suppression Army again.
Black robes, Qilin masks, long swords hanging at their waists, as soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Hua Changxi also saw them, and when she passed by the Demon Suppression Army, she focused on looking at the leader of the Demon Suppression Army walking in the front. Although she couldn't see his face, the eyes revealed were very sharp and firm.
Chu Junyi felt that someone was looking at him. At first, he didn't care, only thinking that the surrounding people were looking, but the next moment, he smelled a faint scent of pills and turned his head to look sharply.
The pedestrians on the street were bustling, and no suspicious signs could be seen, but Chu Junyi's gaze still passed through the heavy crowd and landed on a somewhat petite figure.
That person walked easily, and looking from afar, one could feel the person's ease and comfort.
Seeming to know that someone was looking at her, that person turned her head.
Then, Chu Junyi saw a cute and naive lucky doll mask.
The lucky doll mask smiled happily. Through the exposed eyes, Chu Junyi felt that the person behind the mask seemed to be smiling too.
"Commander Yi, I have arranged for the injured people like this, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?"
Meng Ziyu saw that Chu Junyi didn't hear the inquiry of the Qingzhou Inspector, and hurriedly called out: "Commander~"
Chu Junyi came back to his senses and looked at Meng Ziyu.
Meng Ziyu hurriedly said: "The Inspector is asking if there is anything that needs improvement?"
Chu Junyi looked at the Qingzhou Inspector: "Inspector Cheng's arrangement is very reasonable." After speaking, he looked at the pedestrians again.
At this time, where was the person wearing the lucky doll mask?
Chu Junyi frowned. Was it an illusion? That little lady just now, judging from her figure, is estimated to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Could she be the person who gave them the pills?
A Golden Core cultivator in her teens...
The Three Pure Palace and the Grand Void Gate probably couldn't cultivate a few such people, right?
Meng Ziyu noticed Chu Junyi's abnormality, and after the Qingzhou Inspector entered the pharmacy, he asked in a low voice: "Commander, what are you looking at?"
Chu Junyi looked at the pedestrians: "Do you think it is possible that one of the two people who fought in the sky above Daicheng just now was a little lady?"
Meng Ziyu denied it categorically: "Impossible."
Chu Junyi looked over: "Why?"
Meng Ziyu: "With such powerful combat power, how could it be a little lady?"
Chu Junyi thought Meng Ziyu could say some convincing reasons, but hearing this, he was somewhat disappointed: "Ziyu, you need to change some of your thinking."
"In martial arts, women might not be able to compare to men, but in cultivation, I always feel that women seem to have more advantages than men."
Among the talented and excellent disciples of the Three Pure Palace and the Grand Void Gate, there are no fewer women than men.
Meng Ziyu usually respected Chu Junyi very much, but he didn't agree with this: "How can women be stronger than men? That's not turning the world upside down."
Chu Junyi looked at him and didn't continue this topic, but said: "For the pharmacy and the repair of houses, you send people to watch. We took so many pills from others, so we must handle the matter well."
Meng Ziyu thought of the several subordinates whose injuries improved immediately after taking the pills, and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will send people to watch. We will supervise this matter personally, and I don't believe the Qingzhou Inspector dares to disobey."
Chu Junyi: "We will set off to return to the capital tomorrow, you leave two people to watch."
Meng Ziyu agreed readily: "Commander, don't worry, that alchemist is so powerful, maybe we will meet again in the future, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Leaving Daicheng, Hua Changxi rode the cloud and didn't stay at all. More than an hour later, before dark, she returned to the Three-Fork Medicine Valley.
"Changxi, you finally came out of seclusion."
Hua Changxi didn't expect Guo Yu to be waiting for her at the accommodation of the Medicine Valley, and looking at his appearance, he should have been waiting for quite a long time.
Guo Yu saw Hua Changxi appear and breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you say you would only be in seclusion for half a month? Now it's almost New Year, and you have been in seclusion for more than three months."
Hua Changxi explained naturally: "Cultivators in seclusion have no concept of time, and I didn't expect to be in seclusion for so long. Are you looking for me for something?"
Guo Yu thought of the guesses of his master and the others, and didn't quite believe this explanation, but didn't say anything: "Someone from the Miscellaneous Hall came, saying that you should go back quickly."
Hua Changxi was somewhat surprised: "Someone from the Miscellaneous Hall, calling me back?"
Guo Yu nodded: "The person who came was even a eunuch."
Hua Changxi frowned: "When did this happen?"
Guo Yu: "A few days ago, it was Master who personally came forward to send the eunuch away, saying that you went into the mountain to pick herbs. When the eunuch left, he repeatedly exhorted that after you return, you must go back to the Miscellaneous Hall, saying that this is Eunuch Jia's order."
Hua Changxi was really surprised. After Eunuch Jia recruited her into the Miscellaneous Hall, he had never summoned her. She estimated that he had already forgotten her. How could he suddenly think of her at this time?
"Alright, I know about this."
"By the way, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, your third brother and sixth brother also came once. Afraid that they would keep waiting for you in the Medicine Valley, I told them that Master sent you to work at another medicine farm."
"Thank you for covering for me."
Hua Changxi looked at Guo Yu and felt that his internal energy had increased again, and smiled: "Congratulations, your martial arts cultivation has improved again. You can tell me what pills you need, and I will refine them for you."
Guo Yu thought about how his martial arts cultivation had been rising steadily over the past few months and was also somewhat excited: "I can now freely release my aura, but I am still far from the Grandmaster Realm."
Hua Changxi asked again: "How are your master and the others cultivating?"
Guo Yu immediately said excitedly: "Master and Senior Zhuo and the others have all introduced Qi into their bodies, and now they are all cultivating hard." As he spoke, he looked at Hua Changxi hesitantly.
Hua Changxi could see that Guo Yu wanted to become a cultivator very much, but what Guo Yu did was not enough to exchange for a Creation Pill, so she changed the subject: "It just so happens that I also want to go home and see, I will return to the Miscellaneous Hall tomorrow."
She thought that she had put on an attitude of not wanting to continue chatting, and Guo Yu should leave, but Guo Yu didn't mean to leave.
Hua Changxi smiled: "Why, do you still have something to do?"
Guo Yu looked at her: "A friend of Master Zhuo came to the Medicine Valley."
Hearing this, Hua Changxi immediately thought of Zhuo Fan revealing the matter of the Fire Spirit Mine to outsiders, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "So?"
Guo Yu hesitated: "He is now in the stone cave where we live. Do you want to go up and see him?"
Hua Changxi smiled: "I go up to see him? You really don't treat me as an outsider. A friend came, and you let me go see him. Am I your slave?"
After speaking, the smile had disappeared without a trace.
Guo Yu was stunned, clearly feeling Hua Changxi's anger.
"Hahaha, it shouldn't be you going to see the old man, it should be the old man coming to see you."
The wanton laughter echoed in the Medicine Valley.
Not seeing the person, only hearing the voice.
Hua Changxi sneered, had no good feelings for this person who was playing tricks, waved her spiritual power, and accurately hit the person hiding in the tree down.
Watching the person hit the ground hard, directly smashing a human-shaped pit, the four old men hiding in the dark couldn't hold their breath and hurriedly walked out.
Before they could speak, several talisman papers flew out of the pit and attacked Hua Changxi quickly.
"Boom~"
The talisman papers flew out, and immediately there was thunder, and then, thunder and lightning flew out, slashing toward Hua Changxi.
Contacting the spirit talisman directly for the first time, Hua Changxi was somewhat curious, reacted a beat slow, and was hit by a thunder on her body.
After a few more thunders, Hua Changxi threw out a fire lotus, and before the thunder and lightning slashed down, the spirit talisman was directly burned.
At this time, Lu Zhiyuan just climbed out of the pit. Seeing the fire lotus, he thought of the earth-shattering battle in Mount Wuzhi, and was so scared that his legs went soft and he knelt directly on the ground.
In the eyes of the four old men, it was Lu Zhiyuan who knelt directly to Hua Changxi.
This scene made them look at each other.
Lu Zhiyuan wanted to test Hua Changxi's depth, and they didn't stop him, because they also wanted to know Hua Changxi's strength. Now it seems that Hua Changxi's cultivation is above Lu Zhiyuan.
Hua Changxi surged with the desire to kill again at this moment. The power of the spirit talisman was not great and didn't hurt her, but she was hit by thunder, her hair exploded, and her dress was damaged.
Fortunately, it was winter. In order not to expose her abnormality, she was wearing quite a lot. If she wore less, wouldn't she be streaking?
Thinking that she might be streaking, Hua Changxi couldn't suppress her desire to kill.
Lu Zhiyuan felt the murderous intent, scared to sweat profusely. He definitely didn't see the fire lotus wrong just now; it was exactly the same as the one that resisted the giant monkey in Mount Wuzhi.
God, was his luck too good? The forces outside were all discussing what the background of the strong man who summoned the Vermilion Bird was, but he didn't expect to run into her.
"Fairy, spare my life, it was me who offended the Fairy. This is the 'Talisman Book' I accidentally obtained, dedicated to the Fairy, begging the Fairy to forgive my disrespect."
Lu Zhiyuan was also able to bend and stretch, immediately begging for mercy, and also offered the 'Talisman Book' to apologize.
The four old men saw Lu Zhiyuan kneeling and begging for mercy, and were unusually silent.
Even Zhuo Fan, who dared to complain to Hua Changxi from time to time, didn't speak at this moment.
Why?
They also felt the murderous intent.
Before, although that girl was more powerful than them, there was no fear of her.
Because they knew that Hua Changxi would be angry, but wouldn't do anything to them, but at this moment, they were not sure.
The four old men looked at each other, their eyes somewhat heavy.
This girl has killed people!
Killing people and not killing people are completely different. After starting to kill, there will be no such awe for human life.
Old You was the most complicated. He still remembered when he went to the Nanshan Rift Valley, he almost died under the red eagle's mouth, and the girl saved him because she valued human life.
Now, she has broken the killing precept.
Can this girl control her desire to kill in the future?
Hua Changxi took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, cast her gaze on the 'Talisman Book' in Lu Zhiyuan's hand, looked at the trembling Lu Zhiyuan, narrowed her eyes: "Are you very afraid of me?"
Lu Zhiyuan: Nonsense, you can even kill the demon king suppressed in Mount Wuzhi, how can I not be afraid?
Hua Changxi looked at Lu Zhiyuan's pale face, then looked at the silent four old men. She could feel that they were all afraid of her, but the degree of fear was very different.
"Have you been to Mount Wuzhi?"
Lu Zhiyuan's heart missed a beat, but in the end, he nodded: "I just passed by."
Hua Changxi: "... Kill you, and everything on you will be mine."
Hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan's body went soft, and he was about to be unable to support himself: "Fairy, spare my life."
Old You hesitated again and again, but still stood out: "Changxi, the old man remembers that when you saved me from the red eagle's mouth, you said, 'A human life, I cannot turn a blind eye'."
"At that time, how much you valued human life."
"This had a great impact on the old man. Before embarking on martial arts, the old man was also unwilling to kill. Although there were times when I had no choice, the old man has always restrained his desire to kill, not because of kindness, but because the old man has always remembered his original intention."
"Changxi, what about your original intention? Have you forgotten it?"
Hua Changxi was silent for a while: "I don't want to kill either, it was you who broke the rules first. I repeatedly stated that I don't want the identity of a cultivator to be exposed, it was you who brought outsiders here."
"For my safety, killing is also a last resort."
Hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan knew Hua Changxi's demands and hurriedly saved himself: "Fairy, I can make a heart demon oath, absolutely not to leak your situation."
Seeing that Hua Changxi didn't speak, Lu Zhiyuan immediately broke his finger, forced out essence blood, and drew a talisman in the air with the essence blood.
"I, Lu Zhiyuan, swear to heaven that I will never leak any situation of the Fairy. If I violate the oath, my soul will be destroyed."
As soon as the words fell, the essence blood began to twist, quickly transformed into a talisman seal, and merged into Lu Zhiyuan's brow.
After making the heart demon oath, Lu Zhiyuan looked at Hua Changxi eagerly. Seeing that she didn't speak, but instead showed curiosity, his expression paused, and then he took out a beast skin scroll from his storage bag.
"Fairy, this is the heart demon curse I accidentally obtained, willing to dedicate it to the Fairy."
Hua Changxi looked deeply at Lu Zhiyuan, feeling that this person was much more sensible than the four old men. With a wave of her hand, the beast skin scroll fell into her hand, and she opened it to look.
After reading it, Hua Changxi gave the beast skin scroll to the four old men.
The four old men saw it and didn't say anything, followed the method on the beast skin scroll, and like Lu Zhiyuan, also made a heart demon oath.
Finally, Hua Changxi looked at Guo Yu and the four miscellaneous workers watching the Medicine Valley.
Old You stood out again: "These five people, the old man guarantees."
Hua Changxi looked at him: "Old You, you have no credibility with me anymore." After speaking, she waved her spiritual power and broke the fingers of Guo Yu and the five people.
Five drops of essence blood floated in the air.
Hua Changxi looked at them: "Swear."
Guo Yu originally thought that he was not a cultivator and could not make a heart demon oath, but looking at Hua Changxi's appearance of killing them if they didn't swear, he and the four miscellaneous workers also made an oath according to the previous people.
The oath ended, Hua Changxi waved her spiritual power and directly hit the curse seal into the brows of Guo Yu and the five people.
As soon as the curse seal entered the brow, Guo Yu felt a palpitation and gave birth to a strong premonition that if he leaked Hua Changxi's affairs, he would die without a burial place. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
