Chapter Fifty

  "After waking up, Zun Shang's demeanor was as usual, but in fact, my master had suspected it before." In front of the medicine cabinet, Cheng Fu's hands moved quickly, skillfully preparing the medicine while answering Jing's question.

  "What's suspicious?"

  The medicine pot beside her was already boiling, and Cheng Fu carefully pressed down the flames, then gently lifted the lid and stirred it.

  "Too sudden, too... unthinkable", he thought for a moment, stopped talking, scooped out the medicinal liquid from the jar and had someone send it to Meng Mu.

  "What's wrong with him?" Dao Jing raised his sleeve to avoid the pungent smell of medicine.

  "Huh? What did you say?" Cheng Fu finally stopped and wiped her hands before sitting down beside him.

  Dao Jing shook his head and changed his tone: "Nothing, about Master's injury, you can speak freely"

  "This, originally a wound, has now become an entangling disease." Xian Chu sighed. His master and uncle's skills were not shallow, but they died instantly when casting their spells. Although it was due to overexertion, the root cause was that the things they encountered were too strange. When he buried his masters' bodies, Xian Chu had already discovered that several of them had exhausted their cultivation.

  The fairy family is born, and it will never capture people's cultivation. This kind of evil technique must be related to the evil spirit.

  It was originally just a thread of obsession, Yu Chen Xuan Huang was anxious and couldn't wait for his greatest helper to recover immediately, perhaps fearing that he would miss the important matter of the immortal family. But from the perspective of their immortal doctor, in fact, they could rely on their own cultivation to slowly resolve it, without needing to rush at the moment.

  Originally, Master also thought so. When they left Tiantai Mountain at the beginning, Master had closely examined it and didn't say a word after coming out of Yu Zhen Temple. Later, he vaguely heard him discussing with Master Shu about the power of heaven and earth rebirth. At that time, I didn't know what was going on. But later, Master changed his mind after re-examining in Shang Qing Tian and strongly suggested pulling out the evil energy. Now thinking about it, it's likely to have a great relationship with this rebirth power.

  "The young master should know that when the evil energy enters the body, it's like a fierce fire burning and disturbing the five organs, and shocking the mind. After I arrived at Tiantai Mountain, I saw that your father was walking and talking as usual, but I suppose he was forcing himself to endure until he knew you had started your journey back. Only then did he decide to go into seclusion. However, I never saw the object that brought him back to life, so I couldn't make a definitive judgment. I can only guess that this object not only helped your father recover his immortal powers but also strengthened the evil energy..."

  Dao Jing's heart sank again and again, and he rubbed his tired eyebrows.

  So what's your plan?

  Cheng Fu nodded, but before she could speak, she fell silent again. Finally, she shook her head and said: "The master is filled with guilt over the death of his teacher and uncle, although he left me behind, he ordered me not to interfere in this matter, so I haven't been able to diagnose him yet. However, before coming here, I asked our ancestor for advice, and it was he who taught me the song of the Azure Falling Void."

  "If... " He looked at Dao Jing seriously, "I mean if, after the Honorable One leaves the pass, the illness is not completely eliminated, perhaps this can be tried first, and then adjusted with medicine, so there will be no worries."

  "Really?" Dao Jing's face was filled with worry and gloom, as if he couldn't see any hope.

  Cheng Fu nodded solemnly, "Please believe me, young master, I will definitely do my best!"

  "Alright, thanks..."

  With an unsolved heartache, Dao Jing led the crowd away from Qingji County and returned to Qiongtai Teahouse.

  It was another clear and breezy moonlit night, Dao Jing sat alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.

  A small head poked out from beside the courtyard gate, a petite figure moving stealthily in the shadows, tiptoeing quietly to slip past Dao Jing's back.

  "Hey! Dao Jing!"

  A loud shout, a sudden slap on the shoulder, Dao Jing didn't flinch, and after a long time, he slowly turned around and pulled the person over.

  "Luoyi, it's really not funny!"

  "Huh?" Lu Jing tilted his head and looked at him, "Why aren't you happy now?"

  "I don't know," Dao Jing said with a sigh.

  Lu Jing sat down next to him, fiddling with the small braid in his hand, gazing at the crescent moon on the horizon and murmured: "Are you homesick?"

  "Yes"

  "Hey, don't be like that!" Lu Jian couldn't stand it when others asked him three times and he still had to think of ways to guess. Moreover, Dao Jing was not a person who spoke little, but now he seemed to be possessed by Duanmu Chengyang, no, it was the defeated Duanmu Chengyang.

  He pulled Dao Jing's arm and shook it hard, "If you have something unhappy, just say it out loud, come on"

  *sigh*

  "...... Luo Jian thought for a moment, if it wasn't homesickness, then was he worried about his master's injury? During the day, when he unintentionally passed by the medicine room, he seemed to have heard some ominous and reviving words, this... "

  Is it?

  Lu Jing took out the brocade pouch containing hairpins from his bosom and handed it to Dao Jing, "I heard a bit of your conversation with Cheng Fu, were you talking about this thing?"

  Dào Jìng Yí Huò received the brocade pouch with a puzzled expression, but when he opened it, he was stunned, his complexion changing unpredictably for a moment.

  "What's wrong?"

  "What? What's it called?"

  "This thing is called Chen Xiao, how did it end up with you?" Dao Jing had just asked when he suddenly remembered the description of Lu Jian. Duanmu Cheng hastily glossed over it, only saying that he took something to save his brother, and now thinking about it, it must be this thing. Could it be the one lost by Master?

  "Uh......this..." In front of Dao Jing's face, Lu Jian didn't know why he felt a bit awkward and replied with difficulty: "Firstly, Xuan Yi brother gave it to me, then I went to return it to him, this time he let He Song...". Lu Jian spoke softer and softer, almost just mouthing the words, but Dao Jing still understood and could guess.

  He didn't say anything

  Lu Jing glanced at him, neither disbelieving nor fully believing, anyway, the faces of everyone present were all unhappy.

  Good grief...

  Just as Lu Jian didn't know what to do, Dao Jing smiled calmly and handed the brocade pouch back to him, saying softly, "Then you'd better take good care of it."

  Huh?

  "What is this thing used for? Is it his fault that Brother Xuan Yi went into seclusion?"

  "Can't say yes, can't say no" Dao Jing fell silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Jian, "But here it's just a hairband, if you like it, take it and tie your ponytail with it."

  "What? I'm reluctant to give it up, such a good thing"

  Dao Jing was amused by her petty and narrow-minded appearance, shaking his head helplessly, "This... actually isn't anything in the Tian Tai Mountains, let alone compared to human life, what do you think?"

  The deer arrow hesitated, thinking left and right, and finally put the brocade bag back into his arms. He looked a bit melancholy, holding his cheek, "I don't know, I only have this. If I didn't have it, sometimes when I woke up from sleep, I wouldn't even be sure if I had ever met Brother Xuan Yi."

  "So, you went to great lengths to find me, also for the sake of Master?" Dao Jing found it hard to describe her emotions, always feeling a bit unwell. But thinking about it fairly, this was reasonable too - if she hadn't known Master first, what would her own affairs have to do with her? Being able to do so wasn't easy either.

  "I didn't think so much, I just hope he's fine"

  In the clear night color, Lu Jian's eyes were as clear as water.

  Although the power of one person is limited, it does not belittle itself; although the road ahead is treacherous and unknown, it does not retreat in fear; my progress is not for anything, yet I can do everything.

  The path in his heart suddenly opened up, and he tightly grasped Lu Jian's hand that had pulled him over. With a sincere smile, "Thank you."

  Cough, cough

  A cough broke in at an inopportune moment and interrupted the words that were on the verge of being spoken.

  Two people searched around, and all they saw was a yellow cloth corner hanging down from the eaves.

  "What's going on down there, sneaking around?"

  With a hearty "hahaha", Meng Mu jumped down, landing right between the two of them. He raised the wine jug in his hand towards Lu Jian and raised an eyebrow, saying: "Drink?"

  "Who wants it?" Lu Jian rolled her eyes and turned around to leave.

  Dào Jìng also turned around and went back into his room, before Mèng Mù could react, the door was shut with a "bang".

  "Alas, I was saying to you two...". The self-deprecating Momo threw the wine jug carelessly, not hearing any response. He looked around and finally chose a dry step that hadn't been splashed by rainwater, and sat down.

  "I ask you, young master, when are you planning to return?"

  No answer

  "You've done a great job with Sanping Island."

  Silence

  Meng Mu let out a silent sigh, his eyes dimming slightly.

  "Although it's a matter of eradicating evil, some things aren't simply black and white. Just like how everyone has their own personal struggles, I think you can understand that. In the future..." He hesitated for a moment, seemingly uncertain whether he should continue speaking, but considering today's purpose, he opened his mouth again.

  "Try standing in their shoes and think about it."

  Silence

  Meng Mu looked at the tightly closed door, feeling suffocated and stunned for a long time. Eventually, he turned his head uninterestingly and gazed at the new moon on the horizon, muttering to himself: "The black-robed man's affair is what Void often says is his own heavenly calamity. I think he's a great doctor, but he's always been selfish and afraid of trouble, not even wanting to save you. Perhaps his eccentric personality has wronged someone in the past, it doesn't have to be because of you, don't take it too much to heart. It's just that your body has his cultivation, this... is indeed an unavoidable method, let's ask the Upper Immortal to help you another day, anyway, for you, this isn't a big deal."

  As for the Xuanzhu Heart Mirror, I'll return it to you. You let He and Yue go find a Lingzhu, and they can restore the Xuanzhu Heart Mirror's spiritual power. Then, combined with the Mingxin Zhou, it can cure you.

  You've finally completed your task, and it's about time you had something to show for it. When you get back, continue to cultivate yourself diligently; it doesn't matter if you forget some things. As for magic, there's still plenty of time to learn more. The world below the mountain may be a place of mundane dust, but it's not suitable for you - your shoulders bear a greater mission. From now on, take good care of yourself.

  "Now that Sanpingdao's matter has been settled, I... should also take my leave..."

  The low voice had just fallen when the door suddenly swung open, and Dao Jing stood in the doorway with his hands behind his back. He looked at Meng Mu's lonely figure sitting on the steps with great interest, and suddenly laughed.

  "Where are you going?"

  "This...". Meng Mu suddenly became speechless, and after thinking for half a day, he finally replied: "I've been running around all the time, I should also enjoy the fun of this world properly."

  "Oh?" Dao Jing smiled and said with profound meaning: "Not bad, one should enjoy life while it's possible, why wait for the future. Are you going to go into this world of red dust and play around a bit?"

  Meng Mu turned his head and said I don't understand

  "My intention is to say..." Dao Jing walked out and patted him on the shoulder, "Since you yearn for happiness in the mortal world so much, why don't you look very happy?"

  "Haha, what a huge burden has finally been lifted, how can I not be delighted? Of course, I'm delighted, haha!"

  "Is that so?" Dao Jingzi carefully searched his face several times, but couldn't find any sign of the excitement he mentioned. He didn't press for an answer anymore and just said, "I think what you said is wrong. Although the black-clad man may not necessarily be here because of me, he's still malicious in intent. Since I've already promised Xū Mò to avenge his senior brother at Chén Palace, how can I go back on my word? After you leave, I'll set out to track down that black-clad man."

  “……！！！”

  Dào Jìng wǎn ěr yī xiào, "Nǐ zhè me yī jīng zuò shén me? Yī rán lāo sū le zhè me duō, yòu shì zhè bù fàng xīn yòu shì nà bù fàng xīn, bù rú……"

  A pair of eyes stared at Lao Da, who never expected that this guy had set a trap here and was waiting for him to fall into it.

  "Huh?"

  Alas! "It's really worth dying for a gentleman..."
