Chapter 58

  "Are you awake? Don't move for now, let me take your pulse." Cheng Fu wiped her hands and lit the oil lamp, then sat down beside him.

  Mengmu lay in bed, feeling weak all over, her heart felt empty, she couldn't muster up the energy, and felt a sense of inexplicable loss.

  "Alas!"

  Chen Fu comforted with a smile, thinking that this was also a rare occurrence. In Qingji County, he had discovered that his spiritual power was scattered and his heart and soul were severely damaged, clearly unable to survive. Yet, this young master had somehow managed to run all the way to Xueye, seemingly even using his spiritual power along the way.

  It's really a hard life!

  "Master Mengmu, how did you get hurt? Does Young Master know?"

  "What's the big deal? Are you a man now?"

  "No" Xing Fu shook her head in disagreement, "Things have their own weight and urgency, you should know that I'm not intentionally suppressing your spiritual power. If I didn't do this, with your restless personality at this moment, your fragmented cultivation would never have the chance to consolidate again."

  "Will I die?"

  "That won't happen, but you will never be able to use spiritual power again and become a thorough and complete ordinary person"

  Ordinary person? Mumbling in his heart, sincerely thanking you for sparing me the words, not directly saying I'll become a useless person!

  He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment with a serious expression, and understood why he couldn't even catch an ordinary person on the way to Xueye. However, when it came to letting that little thief escape, Mengmu suddenly sat up.

  "Where is the young master?"

  Looking into his bright eyes, Cheng Fu was stunned for a moment. "The young master, he went to the Qin family and instructed me to take good care of you before leaving, not letting you move around."

  "Ahaha, you'll keep it a secret for me, right?" Momo's mysterious eyes twinkled as she made a gesture to get down.

  Cheng Fu jumped in fright, his eyes fixed on the closed door and the crack between it, where a symbol was flickering with a clear light!

  Mengmu followed his gaze and looked over, as if he didn't dare to believe it, rubbed his eyes, and after a long time, said in a low voice: "He really locked me up?"

  Although I knew my low mood and depression were due to the medicine, I couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow, as if I had been abandoned alive. At that moment, I lay back on the bed with my face against the wall and refused to speak again.

  Although it's bitter, the medicine still has to be drunk. Cheng Fu usually looks gentle and mild-mannered, but once she puts on her doctor's airs, she really does have a few points of majesty, making people unable to help but obey.

  Of course, this is also due to his own very strong magical powers!

  Meng Mu is now powerless, if he resists, it's possible that in the blink of an eye, he'll see the doctor turn into a butcher. To save his life, he'd better obediently drink the medicine.

  Cheng Fu was very satisfied, put down the empty medicine bowl, and went to get a stone mortar to grind the medicine.

  He saw him throw two or three white shiny beads into the stone mortar and asked curiously, "What's this?"

  Pearl

  "Oh?" This snowy land is inland and doesn't produce pearls. To casually smash them up and use them as medicine, that's really extravagant. He said in a strange tone: "You people from Tiantai Mountain are really rich!"

  "You don't understand," said Cheng Fu without lifting his head. "This is just a medicine to calm the nerves, and it's being used for its intended purpose. Moreover, this wasn't brought from Tiantai Mountain, but was bought from the pharmacy in town after I took your pulse."

  He thought for a moment and said, "But speaking of which, there really isn't this kind of medicine in Jin Ting's pharmacy."

  It is well known that Mount Tiantai faces the East China Sea and governs all the islands in the sea, so how can there be only a few pearls?

  "It's not that there isn't any, but rather it's not needed." Cheng Fu explained: "I heard from a few seniors that the respected one had a maid who was transformed from a thousand-year-old spirit pearl. Whenever they needed to prepare medicine with pearls, they would just ask this maid to exert some spiritual power and it would be enough. Therefore, real pearls were not needed." Cheng Fu raised her head, her words filled with longing, "What kind of scene would that have been?"

  The wick burst out with a soft sound, and Mengmu's eyes suddenly sparkled with light. He struggled to control his expression, and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Aren't you the fairy maiden? How could you not have seen it?"

  Cheng Fu's gaze shifted, falling on the stone mortar in her arms, and she shook her head with some regret. "I heard she's no longer in Jinting, apparently she left with Zun Shang to take care of something and never came back."

  Meng Mu suddenly moved, as if he was about to jump off the bed, but for some reason, he stabilized his body again. "What's her name?"

  "Bright Pearl!"

  The night was quiet and peaceful, Xianfu had already fallen asleep on the opposite bed. Mengmu wore a thin undergarment and got out of bed, walking to the window.

  The vast sky is like a wash, the bright moonlight pours down on the world without reservation. It's said that the sun and moon are unfeeling, but people's longing for them is like Xu Fu chasing the sun. I don't know why, but at this moment, I feel that the sun and moon, heaven and earth, don't need to have feelings. No matter what happens in the world, they continue as usual, shining on all things and nurturing all living beings without asking for anything in return or keeping track of rewards. If they had emotions, there would be joy but also fear, how could they remain so steadfast?

  "What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Meng Mu's mind snapped back, and he saw a slender figure standing by the bed.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Lu Jing turned around, playfully wrinkling his nose, "Or did you think it was someone else? The big-headed ghost with a square face?"

  The girl's bright low laugh made Mengmu feel inexplicably warm in his heart, and he finally pulled himself out of the endless melancholy, also smiling silently along with her.

  After all, they had known each other for many years. Although they hadn't spent much time together, compared to others, they were still closer. Lu Jian knew about Meng Mu's situation and was worried that he would be depressed because of his illness. At night, while Yun Dama was asleep, she sneaked over to take a look at him, but unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she saw this person standing alone by the bed, looking gloomy like a piece of wood that had grown mushrooms in the rainy season.

  "Don't worry, Dao Jing has already taken care of the Qin family's affairs over there. From now on, you won't be scared by that big-headed ghost again."

  "You, you, you" was left speechless with a mix of laughter and tears, "I'm a big man, what's there to be afraid of?"

  Isn't that right? Luo Jian's head is crooked, and it's clear that he looks very scary. Otherwise, why would even Dao Jing set up a talisman to ward off evil spirits in his living room?

  "We've been busy outside these days and didn't bring you along, it must be boring for you here"

  Speaking of which, Luojian still felt a bit unhappy. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, whispering: "I don't feel suffocated or anything, it's just that I always think I'm useless."

  Not only can't do magic, but even the big characters are not recognized, received Duanmu Chengyang's letter during the day, and looked at it for a long time, always feeling that these horizontal and vertical strokes are laughing at himself. Even Yundama can embroider flowers and make clothes, and herself has nothing to do except eating, sleeping, playing, and seemingly never doing anything else.

  "Ah, Ah-ya, if you could stay small like this forever, how wonderful that would be!" A heartfelt sigh escaped as she accepted the tiny note through the window lattice.

  No!

  Duanmu Yan was just an ordinary mortal, who had only learned a little magic. How did he manage to send a message from thousands of miles away? Moreover, when they parted ways with the crowd, they didn't know about the arrangements afterwards, even if it was a message that should have been sent to Tiantai Mountain.

  Even he himself didn't know there would be a day when he'd come to Snowfield. How did he find out?

  "Jiaolong had sent a message to me..." Daojing's words echoed in his ears, Jiaolong escorted Duanyang back to his hometown, and since then he has not returned. Daojing sent him over, perhaps intentionally to investigate Duanyang's background. This was nothing wrong. Mengmu was shocked by Daojing's tactics, but from his standpoint, he could also understand.

  Jiaolong was secretly investigating Duanmu Chengyang, but he was afraid that the other party was also observing his movements in secret.

  Today he just used Jiaolong to know Lu Jian's whereabouts, it's hard to guarantee that he won't use Lu Jian in the future...

  Suddenly, a conversation from long ago echoed in Mengmu's mind

  This end of the wood is not simple...

  The letter didn't say much, just expressed concern for Lu Jian and mentioned that a woman's singing voice could often be heard on Mount Yun recently, but it was impossible to get close. The villagers all thought it was the arrival of an immortal, but he guessed it was just the mischief of a spirit.

  After finishing reading the letter, Meng Mu did not return it, but instead took it to the lamp and looked at Lu Jian with a serious expression: "Do you know the origin of Duanmu brothers?"

  Deer arrow nodded, I've been to his home, met his sister, he has many brothers and sisters, as well as father and mother, uncles and aunts, and...

  "Stop, stop, stop! Hold it!" Mengmu hastily stopped her from reciting the family genealogy. Interrupted by her like this, he suddenly couldn't remember what he was going to say just now.

  Might as well burn the letter in the firelight, "Keeping this letter by my side might lead to misunderstandings, better to burn it clean"

  The deer arrow didn't understand what was wrong with a letter of inquiry, but to be honest, he couldn't even read it himself, and keeping it wouldn't do much good, so burning it would just burn it.

  However, she leaned against the window and whispered: "Mengmu, can you help me write a reply to him?"

  Meng Mu was a bit unhappy, what's so good about this kid? A blank head, useless, and Lu Jian is so concerned. He muttered to himself, "What do I want to write?"

  Now it's Luo Jian's turn to be stunned, what did he say? He said I'm pretty good, Yun Dama's cooking is especially delicious, and then had to explain who Yun Dama was. Or else he'd say Xueye was very warm, and then had to explain why they came to Xueye.

  So annoying

  "I'd better not write it after all, I don't know what to say"

  Watching her silhouette shrink in front of the window, Meng Mu suddenly stopped her, "Hey? Don't go, I'll help you write"

  Lu Jing leaned against the wall and squatted down, looking at the dense stars in the sky: "I really don't know what to say to him, it seems that you and Dao Jing have nothing to talk about either."

  Unexpectedly, this little girl actually knows how to behave properly, and Meng Mu is deeply impressed.

  Afraid that she would leave, he hastily changed his words and said: "Isn't Tongmu saying that there are spirits in Youshan? You're also a spirit of Youshan, don't you want to ask?"

  Luoyan Si Xiaoliang looked around, turned around and stood up, leaned back against the window and said in a low voice: "I think I know who that singer is. The mountain goat misunderstood, there are no spirits that can be cultivated on Mount Sui, it's a human!"

  "Huh????!!!!!"

  This mountain has always been a place of true pulse, with thick and heavy earth energy, causing all monsters to sink and hide. Therefore, the hundred beasts and trees on this mountain can borrow spiritual energy to lighten their bodies and prolong their lives, but because of the emperor's stern and majestic energy, they are suppressed by spiritual power and cannot be cultivated. Like Lu Jing, who walked out of Su Shan, is really one in a million.

  "This is what Sister Li Shu said, as for who she heard it from, I don't know"

  Meng Mu didn't seem to care about this and was instead more curious about the singing woman, "Tongmu said he couldn't climb the mountain, how did that woman get up there?"

  Lu Jing was somewhat absent-minded and replied casually: "Let Brother Xuan Yi take her there."

  "!!!???" Mengmu's eyelids suddenly jumped up.

  “She is…”

  "Hmm, it seems like Xuan Yi Gege is calling her... Ming Zhu!!"
