Episode 151

  Dozens of miles away, a man was dressing up by the water, washing and grooming. He had combed his hair into a bun like a woman's, powdered his face, painted his eyebrows and eyes, and then reddened those lips, with a faint lip line, looking exactly like a beautiful woman.

  "Alas! Surrounded on all sides, with no way out. It's as if I'm a stray dog from a ruined family! Now, dressed as a woman, I have no choice but to resort to this tactic. Living in the wilderness, it's either wearing Chang'er's clothes or coming up with some other plan - there's no other option. Chang'er was so meticulous about her attire, yet when she ascended to heaven, she couldn't take her beautiful clothes and makeup with her. These lovely garments have fallen into my hands instead. The only problem is that they're too plain and white, making me worry that I'll stand out too much!"

  Muttering to himself on one side, yet suddenly choking with emotion on the other!

  Dressed up, but not enough to face the water and see its inverted reflection.

  "Oh no! Oh dear! How beautiful this family is! Haha... *sobs*... Forcing me to be like this, what a shame for our family!"

  Insufficient first is a loud laugh, and then that voice suddenly hummed, like crying or laughing, gradually the sound faded away, until finally a long sigh.

  Standing by the water for half an hour, not enough time to tidy up one's clothes, walking slowly along the way.

  "Just a figure on the road, neither male nor female, an awkward person!"

  Proceeding for another stretch, he suddenly furrowed his brow and muttered to himself:

  "The clouds at the horizon seem to be someone coming, it's better for some families to hide."

  He hastily went along the path by the forest, and his divine consciousness transformed into emptiness, floating and faint, surrounding his body for hundreds of miles.

  At that time, the power of the divine consciousness was strong and had entered the peak of the Taoist cultivation. With a thought, it could project its consciousness hundreds of miles away, and within a thousand miles, the tracks of all grasses, woods, birds, and beasts were visible to the eye. If one only looked in one direction, they could see as far as ten thousand miles. By controlling objects with divine consciousness, one could wield flying swords and contend with enemies thousands of miles away! The ability of this divine consciousness was such that if a great cultivator of the Taoist realm knew about it, they would be shocked and amazed! Why? Because since ancient times, there has never been anyone who has heard of such a thing! The cultivation of the law body had not yet reached the point of condensing the yuan, and the strength of the divine consciousness was unmatched. What a strange person! Their path of cultivation was greatly different from the ordinary. But where did they get to know the secrets within? Even at the beginning, Zhenzi was also surprised and didn't know what to do. It was only known that the cultivation of the insufficient was unique, the power of the yuan spirit was weak and had not yet condensed, and the ability of the divine consciousness was strong like those who had entered the Tao. It completely disregarded the established rules of the Taoist realm for thousands of millions of years, and their cultivation was feared to be unteachable by anyone. So they just followed their natural course!

  In the midst of a vast ocean, the four sides of the repair are formed into ten hidden faces, as if personally experienced. After a moment's thought, I walked slowly up the mountain path. Before long, I heard the sound of horseshoes behind me, and a large five-horse carriage came by. Insufficient did not turn his head, but with just one glance, he already knew that there were five people on the carriage: a coachman sat at the front, two sword-wielding guards stood in front and back, respectively, and two women sat inside the canopy - one was beautiful and calm, probably the mistress, while the other was quick and attentive, likely her maid.

  When the carriage is approaching, it is not enough to stand on the side of the road, stop, turn around, and bow.

  "Gentlemen, I bid you farewell."

  Screech! A loud scraping sound echoed. Then, a guard jumped down from the front axle, holding his sword and shouting loudly:

  "Who dares to block the path of our family's young lady?"

  "A knight-errant is above, and a young woman below offers her respects. The young woman Mo Nu from Dashi City has traveled far to study, and only now returns home. Passing through this place, she accidentally injured her leg and cannot continue on the road. There are no villages or shops in front of or behind this location, and she is unable to receive medical treatment. She hopes for your pity and convenience, and asks if you can give her a ride."

  "We have important matters at hand and many inconveniences. Moreover, there are many carriages on the road, it's better for the young lady to wait!"

  "A poor girl can't get through! Please have pity on me and take me for just one stage further, to the next village."

  The car driver's face showed a look of unbearable pain, but the guard under the carriage said:

  "It's an honorable person in the carriage, there are many inconveniences, please forgive me!"

  "This place is desolate, with many tigers, wolves and ferocious beasts, as well as bandits. By the time it's almost noon, I'll be lucky if I can wait for a carriage to arrive, or else I'll have become food in some beast's belly!"

  Insufficiently clothed, pitiful and forlorn, she retreated under the trees by the side of the path, her sorrowful appearance unbearable to behold.

  "What's wrong with giving this talented young woman a ride?"

  A gentle and soft female voice came from that carriage, a sound so faint it was almost inaudible, yet it seemed like celestial music to the ears, just like the tinkling of jade pendants.

  "Miss, I've heard that the noble and the humble can't travel together! Moreover, how could a respected miss like you ride with village girls from the countryside? Even if it were a female scholar who has traveled far to study, her rustic demeanor would be unbearable. How could she possibly share a carriage with someone of your esteemed status? Besides, encountering a lone woman in these desolate mountains and wild lands is quite strange and suspicious, we must be cautious."

  Insufficient to hear the heart is slightly desolate, people are divided into three classes, immortals have three categories, immortals and mortals are all one! Among all living beings, where is equality? Looking down it's hard to meet a virtuous person, completely without the ancient style of saving strangers from water and fire danger. Insufficient watching this magnificent carriage go far away, lowering head to proceed forward.

  That day, a few clouds gathered on the horizon and descended, several practitioners of the law, immortal swords came. One of them unfolded a scroll in his hand and said:

  "Miss Wuna, have you seen this person pass by?"

  Insufficient false intention to watch, halfway through said:

  "On the other side of the pass, several strong men have already inquired about it, but our household doesn't know who they are!"

  "Is there anyone passing by in a hurry?"

  Another way.

  "It seems no one has seen him rush past!"

  "Are there horses and carriages galloping by?"

  A five-horse carriage has just passed by.

  "Is there anyone seriously injured on the vehicle?"

  "The carriage has a canopy and it is unknown how many passengers are inside. There are three people outside the carriage, two of whom are holding swords, and one is a coachman, with no others present."

  "Oh! Thank you! You're welcome, miss!"

  Insufficient then continue to turn around and leave. Suddenly a loud shout came from behind:

  "Is it really worth it to be so shameless and disguise oneself as a woman just because of a lack of history?"

  Insufficient to hear words heart down a tight, but dazed as if unknowing why, continue to move forward.

  "Hum! Youngster! You're quite the actor! Although I haven't seen your esteemed self in person, you look just like that deadbeat Shi Yifei. Your mannerisms are just like those of your ancestor Shi Yi - even if you were dressed as a woman, you couldn't deceive me!"

  Don't talk about shortcomings, just keep moving forward.

  "Good boy, be patient! Come on, take this child from me!"

  After a few swift sounds, the five cultivators closed in on him from all sides. Wu Xuanyi said in surprise:

  "You are all masters of martial arts, but what does this mean?"

  "Surrender the coffin of the Three Realms and I will spare your life!"

  "There are many in the world who look alike, and besides, men and women are different, how can you be so sure that I am the person in that painting?"

  "Are you?"

  "Am I?"

  "A certain Qing Shifu, I heard that he died in the Great Tribulation of the Demon Cult's Broken Void. It's likely that this person is indeed not a historical figure."

  Yi Xiu hesitated.

  "Hum! The gods have decreed it, better to kill by mistake than to let one escape! First search him, then beat him to death!"

  "Yes!"

  A handsome and elegant figure smiled as he stepped forward. A man named Shi Yiqing looked around once more, stood up tall, trod on clouds and rose straight up to a height of ten thousand feet in the sky, with Yu Xiu following closely behind him.

  Hush!

  The sound of clothes tearing and ripping apart came out.

  "Little girl, don't run. Wait for brother to search a bit and it will be fine."

  "Come on, little girl!"

  Bang!

  "Ah! You little scamp! Dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? I am the Land Flying Immortal! To receive my favor is a blessing for you mortals. Serve me well, and I'll grant you an immortal pill, which will make you immune to all illnesses and live forever!"

  "How dare you! On this main road, do you want to humiliate the reputation of our immortal family?"

  "Alright, let's go down to the pine forest then."

  Insufficient to suffer this repair, went to the side of the road in the pine forest.

  "Ah!"

  A mournful cry, but only half a sound was emitted. Then a loud punch sounded. The cultivator's body burst open with a crackling sound, and all of them were like powder scattered in all directions. Even the bright red blood water also dispersed into a misty gas.

  "Hmm! How come there's no news from Brother Liang for half a month? Who will go and take a look?"

  Na Shi furrowed his brow and said.

  "Master, I am willing."

  "Hmm! Go quickly and come back soon, don't delay!"

  "Yes!"

  Another half response.

  "What's going on? Come on, go and inspect the fifth repair unit. If there's anything unusual, sound the alarm directly."

  "Ah! Quick! Please ask Master Shu to come over."

  Shi Yiqing's heart suddenly felt uneasy. Hearing the disciples shouting below, he hastily stepped on the cloud and left. Waiting for him to descend from the cloud head and take a look, his face turned pale, and he said:

  "How bitter!"

  That little girl is no more, and the pine forest has been reduced to dust and powder.

  "Pursue! Don't let him escape!"

  They all made a promise and went their separate ways in pursuit of it.
