Chapter 31 Eavesdropping
Bai Ke has not been easy for the past eighteen years, so the days he spent in Junxiao's secret realm were a bit too idle for him. He practiced basics every day, practiced qi and body skills, and read ancient books. He did not have to consider the extra trivial things in life, and did not have to worry too much when encountering some problems, because there are two powerful people in the world of cultivation, and helping a favor is just a convenient thing, and his life was like a paradise.
However, being in a paradise does not mean that Bai Ke is really not at all sad.
For example, he would go back to Lin Jie's courtyard regularly every day, waiting for Qin He, the ignorant disciple, to come to deliver the spiritual pill.
Even Junxiao and Yu Xian dared not interfere rashly in this matter. After all, what medicine is sold in Hengtianmen Gate, and what purpose is the so-called seven-star pill refined to achieve? They have not yet fully figured out. It’s not that they can’t take the seven-star pill out of Bai Ke’s body, but they have no idea how much harm it will cause to Bai Ke after it is taken out, whether it will cause life or whether there is an accurate way to make up for it.
If such a thing was put a thousand years ago, with either Huo Junxiao or Yu Xian's personality, he would have to be much more enjoyable and profitable. He would definitely not care about it, solve the pain in front of him first, and then make out the bad things. As for the consequences, he would find a way out.
At that time, they were probably dominating in this world for a long time, and they had the arrogance of fighting against the heavens. After all, at that time, they were only one step away from ascending to become an immortal.
However, after experiencing the series of disasters that year, witnessing countless fellow Taoists dying, no trace of them, watching how many sects were in turmoil in that disaster, the Yusheng Sect was almost destroyed overnight, and the source of the disaster was nothing more than a group of mobs they had never taken seriously.
It was like a fierce slap, slapped in the face of many famous sects who had been in high positions for a long time.
Since then, they have no longer been doing something rashly because some consequences are unbearable.
Facing Bai Ke whom he had finally found, the two of them, especially Huo Junxiao, were simply a little cautious. After all, their current cultivation level was reduced, not as good as the peak time back then.
However, what made Bai Ke feel a little better was that after swallowing the spirit pill, Jun Xiao would immediately help him relieve the bloodthirsty pain in his body. Except for the first moment, the pain would become much dull, slowly slowing down to an almost negligible level, and then it passed in the blink of an eye, which was far less difficult than the first time.
Just thinking that the Seven Star Pill was sucking blood in his body and absorbing what it needed, and then slowly changing in an unknown state, Bai Ke felt a little disgusted. Who knew what that bad thing would be if it grew into.
Fortunately, Bai Ke really doesn't have to bear the sin every night.
He didn't know what Yu Xian had used, but he knew that every afternoon, the old man would go out leisurely, stroking his beard and carrying a wine pot, saying that he was waiting for Qin He in Lin Jie's small courtyard. Then he swayed back in less than a moment.
After nearly a week like this, there seemed to be no movement on Hengtian Gate. It was probably because it was fooled.
Another thing that made him a little worried was Bai Zixu—
On the day he came to Junxiao's secret realm, he somehow fell asleep. He slept for three days and three nights, which scared Bai Ke very much.
He really couldn't figure out what happened to Bai Zixu. In the past, even when he was crazy, he would have been sleeping for a day and a night at most. After that, he slowly woke up and his mood gradually stabilized.
Fortunately, Jun Xiao and Yu Xian did not lie to him. After Bai Zixu slept for three days, he finally woke up on the fourth morning and wandered around looking for food. Except for sleeping for a long time, his legs were a little weak and his walking was a little swaying. It seemed that there was no big problem.
Bai Ke pulled him with some concern at that time, frowned and asked him with a solemn look if he felt uncomfortable. Bai Zixu only shook his head and said, "Apart from having too many dreams, he slept quite happily."
"I'm sleeping... quite happy?" Bai Ke repeated his words in a daze, stunned for a while, then thrust his lips with a dark face. He felt that he didn't want to talk to this unreliable guy again for about two days.
When he turned around and was about to leave, Bai Zixu caught up with him again, stuck to his butt, forcing Bai Ke to listen to everything he dreamed of in the past three days.
As for dreams, there is no logic.
The dream of Bai Zixu, a patient with the snake spirit, is even more treacherous and unpredictable. As long as you have no problem with your brain, you may not understand it.
So Bai Ke treated the things he was talking about as nonsense, and went in with his left ear and his right ear. After listening to them all morning, he didn't understand anything except "a black shadow crawled out of his head and then crawled into the other person's brain with a whizz", and something like "hands and feet fell all over the ground", and the others didn't understand a single sentence.
After waking up, Bai Zixu was "buzzing" in Bai Ke's ear like Tang Monk, which made him unable to help but have the idea of "I'm tired and I can't sleep for another three days and three nights."
But this idea didn't come true after all.
In the few days after that, Bai Zixu suddenly became much quieter. There was a bookcase in another room in Junxiao, which were just books that Bai Ke didn't know. I don't know if Bai Zixu was fascinated by ghosts. He wouldn't come out after he got stuck in all day and kept the door closed and not disturbed.
Once, Bai Ke couldn't help but stand outside the window and looked inside. When he saw the cover of the book in Bai Zixu's hand, he was speechless: I took down the books, what a fool...
However, Bai Ke has always been spoiled by Bai Zixu. He will do whatever he says and let him do whatever he wants. He is almost obedient.
Since he likes to read books upside down and read with relish, let him read it. Bai Ke thought so, so he didn't do anything to break the window.
However, Yu Xian, for some reason, suddenly became very interested in Bai Zixu. He pulled Bai Ke and asked Bai Zixu a few questions about Bai Zixu. Then he would go to the room from time to time to say a few words to Bai Zixu, calling it: discussing the meaning of calligraphy.
Who knows what kind of calligraphy he can discuss with a person who reads books upside down.
Bai Ke asked Yu Xian tentatively how many times he had been around by the old man, and he didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd.
If someone had come to Bai Zixu in the past, Bai Ke would have to be 120-pointed and guarded tightly. But if it were Yu Xian or Huo Junxiao, Bai Ke would have no intention of preventing it. Perhaps it was because of the ridiculous but traceable past and present life they were talking about, or perhaps something else. In short, Bai Ke was completely unprepared for these two people.
Occasionally, one or two suspicious thoughts flashed through him, and a sense of indescribable guilt emerged in his subconscious. It seemed that any suspicion about these two people would make him feel depressed from the bottom of his heart, feeling like he had blasphemed something.
In a blink of an eye, the week passed by like this, and Yu Xian completely returned to normal. This person was probably born to be unstable. He either teased Bai Ke or Lin Jie or went to tease Bai Zixu and Peanuts. In short, he was just a careless person and couldn't stop.
After finally recovering his soul, Yu Xian couldn't help but provoke Jun Xiao, and he dragged Jun Xiao to fight with him, saying that he hadn't moved for a week and loosened his muscles and bones.
Jun Xiao ignored the harassment and forced the old god to teach Bai Ke a ghost painting talisman. He then took him to write it step by step, confirming that he would not make any mistakes after remembering it. Then he flashed outside the house with a flash of his sleeve.
Before Lin Jie and Bai Ke could react, the two figures had already reached the sky, and they were shattered into a blurred light and shadow. The two below were stunned and had no better reaction.
The two equally powerful people were able to get along, but they were not something that they were like to understand. They looked up and their faces were dumbfounded for a while, but they silently lowered their heads and rubbed their stiff cheeks, giving up observing.
"Hey-Xiaobai!" Lin Jie was tired of reading ancient books, and was moving around and moving his neck and shoulders. But he stood there on the side of the Ximochi and called Bai Ke over: "The head of the sect seems to have summoned several elders to discuss something."
"Why are you summoning me at this time?" Bai Ke was about to enter the house and ask Bai Zixu if he was hungry. When he heard Lin Jie's words, he stopped and turned back to the edge of the moxichi.
This is an oval stone pond on the south side of the house. It is not big. There is a pool of clear water all year round. They wash their pens here on weekdays, but the ink always disperses when it drips into the clear water, and then there is no trace. No matter how many times I wash it, I can't see the water becoming muddy. It's always like this clear and lingering.
The moxie pond was engraved with a talisman a few days ago by Jun Xiao. He could see the scene in Hengtian Palace so that he could see what tricks the head of Hengtian was playing.
However, the head of the sect was not a slander. He only met the elders every day and occasionally summoned Qin He and his disciples. The words he said were all very ordinary things. Apart from mentioning Bai Ke a few times, there was no information worthy of their attention, nor did he mention more about the Seven Star Pill.
But today, what the head and the elders said seemed so simple.
When Bai Ke walked over, he saw the head of the sect with his hands behind his back, frowning tightly, as if he was troubled by something. After a moment of silence, he shook his sleeves and turned around and rushed to the elders sitting on both sides and said, "I just found out this morning?"
"Yes." One of the white and slightly fat elders nodded, looking worried: "It's obvious that there are nearly two hundred and thirty-two days left, why did it suddenly...ah?"
Bai Ke and Lin Jie wanted to slap him as soon as they heard this. These people have always been like this, only half of their words, and they were confused every time they heard it.
"Have the things in the valley been raised?" the head of the sect asked the fat white elder.
He shook his head: "10% in ten years, three months away."
"What should I do?" Another elder couldn't sit still, "If there was nothing to send in and put it in..."
The elders and the sect seemed to have thought of something, and their faces were almost green.
The head of the sect pondered for a while and said, "Go outside and find some here."
"The Qingyun Sect cannot move, Shaoyang has been in a strong position recently, and there are not many left in Changling Xuanwei..." The fat white elder almost counted with his fingers, but was interrupted by Lin Jie's master before he could finish counting.
"Your food can be used to move other sects at this time? It's like giving braids to others."
"Then look for a casual cultivator?" an elder inserted, "The ones who have achieved some cultivation are too conspicuous and are not convenient to move. Find some people on the sidewalk... They don't have much contact with us, and the few moving are not very effective."
"I'm a little bit aware of some of the things in Yishi City." Lin Jie's master said: "There are a few in Taohuayuan area. You might as well take people to find them. Take three or two back and throw them in to put them in and put them in. After this period of time, the Seven Star Pill will be almost done."
Lin Jie frowned when he heard the three words "Peach Blossom Garden". Although he didn't know what these people were planning, he knew that there would be no good things at the moment. And Taohua Garden...
Taohuayuan is the area where Aunt Pang lives.
