hapter 46: The Notes to Help the Youkai Move Their Houses (1)
“By the way, didn’t you say that I had to help rebuild the White-Hart taoist temple?”
“Quit it. On the construction site you do nothing except carrying bricks or just standing in the way.”
Olivia (the other world Xu Shenxing once was in) had earth elemental magics, which was like a bug on the part of civil engineering. However, though Xu Shenxing sealed all of Moli’s mana power in his body, and because the holy sword had transformed his body, he had over seventy thousands magic loops in his whole body (normally an ordinary mage had only not more than a hundred magic loops), but sadly he had no talent for using magic.
If he didn’t obtain his “Cloud Scale” serendipity, and had the ability to give other humans or items divine protection, maybe he could only be a pure AD hero…
“Xingyan, you go with him.” On the chair the old man said.
“Master?” Qin Xingyan winked with a little doubt.
“Don’t you get along well with a lot of youkai? This is the time to exploit your advantages.”
“Ha ha, you know it, master…”
Qin Xingyan stuck out her tongue. Due to Qinmeng, she was unlike other disciples of the White-hart Taoist Temple, she had a natural good feeling about youkai and had good friendships with some of them – though Qinmeng wasn’t a youkai, it was an immortal animal.
She didn’t hide her idea on purpose, but after all, the White-hart Taoist Temple was one of the few best sects. As the number one disciple of her sect, she didn’t prepare to tell everyone about it, since no one could say that it was good or bad.
She thought that no one knew about it, and had not expected that her master had seen everything.
After hesitating for a while, she took the order and went with Xu Shenxing.
However, before that, they detoured back to the construction site and found Moli on a big banyan tree.
Curling up and sleeping on the top of the tree, Moli said that she had no interest to help others move their houses. Seemed like she didn’t want to be involved in this matter.
“Maybe I can find wifi there.”
Afterwards, Yun Xi simply mobilized the girl’s initiative by using a sentence.
Behind Xu Shenxing, Qin Xingyan rolled her eyes… how could it be possible for internet to be in such a remote mountain area, especially in the youkai’s homes…
Along the path three people walked to the middle of the mountain, then Qin XIngyan drew out an apricot-yellow scroll. She didn’t use the lighter but just lightly shook her hands, then the scroll swayed and burned to ashes in the air.
After a while, a girl wearing ancient-style clothes came out from the bushes.
“Sister Xingyan, when did you come back?” Seeing Qin Xingyan standing on the middle of the path, the girl combing chignon walked to them with a smile. When she saw Xu Shenxing and Moli her face turned pale with fright and she said: “I have not seen you for a little while but you have been married and have a kid?! ”
Qin Xingyan’s face turned red. She held the girl’s hands and said embarrassedly, “Don’t make fun of me, Sister Wan’er. This is Senpai Xu, and this is Senpai Xu’s sister, Moli.”
After that, she introduced the ancient-style girl to Xu Shenxing. “This is Sister Wan’er. She is my friend.”
“Hello.” Xu Shenxing said. He thought that his behavior was pretty polite.
“Ho ho.”
The girl just grinned, which made Xu Shenxing feel confused for quite a while.
On the side, Moli looked the girl up and down and mumbled “After unscrewing the head, the other parts all can be eaten…” Xu Shenxing thought that it was a little terrible so he pretended that he didn’t hear anything.
“Ok, ok, no more kidding now. Tell me what’s the matter. Usually, you won’t use the Ringing Bell Scroll to call me.”
Sister Wan’er was a squirrel youkai and was only a hundred years old. Maybe her power wasn’t strong, but due to her racial superiority, all squirrels were her eyes and ears, and nothing on the mountain could escape her mind. More or less, she was a knowledgeable person.
“Sister Wan’er, do you know that the mortals are going to build Dan Xiao Mountain into a scenic spot?”
“Of course I know. You didn’t know it because you weren’t here before, but in order to deal with it, the youkai on the mountain almost raised the roof.” Sister Wan’er sighed. “Today is the Di Liu Festival, Huang family will have a banquet in Master Redleaf’s home. They hope that the youkai on the mountain will all go there to talk about whether they have to fight with the humans or not.”
“The Di Li Festival?” Xu Shenxing asked curiously. It was the first time he had heard of this festival.
“It’s a festival peculiar to we youkai. Every sixty years, moonlights rain down from the sky, and that’s called the legendary Di Liu liquids. If it drops on plants or animals, these plants and animals will become new youkai, so it’s an important festival to celebrate our new companions. Besides, it’s also the best tonic for we youkai. So, though in common years the Di Liu liquid doesn’t rain down from the sky, we still celebrate it to thank the moon.”
Sister Wan’er explained.
Qin Xingyan looked as usual after hearing this. Seemed that she had already knew about it since a long time ago.
“Sister Wan’er, will you go to the banquet?” asked Qin Xingyan.
“Of course. How would I miss such an important event!” Sister Wan’er said naturally.
“But aren’t you being hunted by a lot of youkai because you know too much about their secrets?”
“Huang family and Chai family had said that during the banquet, everyone should cast aside their personal revenge. We only discuss this event.” Wan’er looked very confident. “Besides, this banquet will be held in Master Redleaf’s home, he won’t remain quiet if anyone breaks this rule.”
“Can we go with you?”
Since they wanted to persuade the youkai to move their homes, it would be the quite a stupid and time-wasting method to persuade them one by one. If they could convince them on the banquet, it would be the best way to solve the problem.
“Sister Xingyan, I trust you, but… well, ok…” Sister Wan’er glanced at Xu Shenxing and Moli, and found that they didn’t have spirit qi inside their bodies, she put her heart at rest – they were just two ordinary people, they obviously could do nothing amongst a group of youkai.
“Really? Sister Wan’er, thank you!” Qin Xingyan smiled.
“Don’t thank me that early. I will help you hide your human odors, but you still need to keep a low profile. If other youkai… especially Huang family or Chai family find that you’re humans, even I couldn’t save you, do you understand?” She said with a serious tone.
“No problem.”
Qin Xingyan subconsciously gave Xu Shenxing a glance. She thought that since there was such a human shape nuclear bomb, a group of youkai should be not able to do anything…
