Chapter 106 Stone Godmother 3
In the dead of night in Zhaoqian Village, Stone Godmother spoke in a muffled voice.
"White Fairy, move your claws a little, I'm about to use my lightness technique."
Bai Xian, who was lying beside the rock watching the moon, was taken aback. Could her claws really press down on her? But she still kept her distance to avoid being hit later.
He was still muttering to himself, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
No one knows how the stone spirit made the hand seals, but she suddenly rose into the air and then slammed down again in just five seconds.
It's a good thing there's an isolation array in place, otherwise the villagers would have been scared awake.
Before the air could even freeze, Rongrong pulled out a branch to brush the dirt off the stone, asked her if she had hurt herself, and even smacked the dirt a few times to vent her anger.
Reassured by Rongrong's words, Shi Tou pretended to forget about feeling embarrassed, since no one else had seen it anyway.
Bai Xian's face was covered in a layer of ash, making her stare blankly.
Goodness, Rongrong is no longer the simple tree she was in the apocalypse.
Seeing that they were too embarrassed to practice the spell tonight, Bai Xian suggested that they go out for a stroll.
She'd heard about it when she was in Wushan—Hongyuan Temple had a female ghost dance troupe!
Perhaps this place is a good option; maybe we can even rescue people from the fire. Rongrong tucked the stone into her bosom, and Bai Xian jumped onto a branch, rushing forward without even scouting ahead.
Hongyuan Temple was once a thriving center of worship, but it couldn't withstand the change of dynasties. Although the current dynasty doesn't ban gods and Buddhas, it doesn't offer them as many preferential treatments either.
The retired emperor was always a pragmatist. He needed to bring out the young monks and Taoist priests under his rule to work for the court: those with martial arts skills to suppress bandits, those with education to teach commoners to read, and those skilled in alchemy to conduct those tedious experiments...
Even the coexistence of spirits and humans was a change brought about by this person; it didn't happen out of nowhere. Back then, the spirits still had to work for the retired emperor.
I understand now. The Emperor Emeritus must be a ruthless time traveler.
However, he has already retired and is now cultivating himself on some mountain. Seeing that Stone Godmother wasn't very interested in this old man, White Immortal didn't reveal his coordinates.
...
The ancient temple was eerie and desolate. The three of them stood dumbfounded at the entrance. Whose dance troupe leader was like this...?
Too lazy to let Bai Xian investigate, he only detained a little girl ghost before finding out the whole story. The old tree spirit in the temple was a pimp who died at the Wushan Granny's tasting event.
Those eerie young ladies had already asked their acquaintances or lovers to dig up the remains and leave the place.
And so, all that's left of the old tree spirit's dwelling place is a large hole...
A few days ago, a bearded guy came to exorcise demons and defend the righteous path, but he also missed him.
The little ghost looked curiously at the large stone in the banyan tree trunk, thinking to himself that these big shots and monsters really had unusual hobbies, even carrying a resting stone when they went out.
Stone felt he should check the almanac today, since he was supposed to come out and rescue the young lady.
Even without fish and shrimp, the Three Monsters had the little girl gather all the hiding little devils. There were quite a few of them, more than in a modern kindergarten.
Unsurprisingly, they are all female ghosts. Their parents buried their children's remains nearby in the hope that they wouldn't return and take away their place in the family's birth quota for a boy...
It seems to be an area that hasn't been rectified by the retired emperor's decrees...
After Bai Xian used hand seals to disperse the resentment of the little ghosts, she used talismans to send the people down to be reincarnated.
They also marked the spot for the people who buried the remains, so that when they died, Xiao Yi would come and help them bury the remains. The ancient temple alone would not be able to be reincarnated, nor could it become a vengeful ghost to harm people.
As for Hongyuan Temple, they set up a formation to prevent anyone from accidentally entering.
...
Dejected, Shi Tou returned to Zhao Qian Village and decided that he should use his mental powers to go out and explore from now on.
Otherwise, she would feel like an idiot if Rongrong always had to carry her around.
Before dawn, the villagers began to rise in twos and threes, and the spiritual energy emanating from the three spirits' breaths spread outwards...
It was mainly Bai Xian and Rong Rong who were breathing. Stone Godmother said that she really couldn't cultivate anymore, and it would be better to soak in the medicinal soup she brewed herself.
Everyone was working hard in the fields, feeling more and more energetic as they worked. They were even whispering about whether they could ask the fortune teller for some compost, since that stuff would surely fertilize the fields.
Hey hey hey.
Stone Godmother scanned them with her spiritual power and felt that they were right, but Bai Xian didn't have poop, hahaha, she just expelled it directly from her body during cultivation.
*
The retired emperor, far away overseas, sneezed. Needless to say, it was his son and court officials who were cursing him.
Hey, why is this place so different from his original world? It's not all foreigners overseas; the surrounding area is mainly inhabited by spirits and monsters.
The foreigners are in a place much, much farther away. Some of their subordinates say that crossing the desert might be a closer route.
He even thought about hollowing out a certain island and then blowing it up, but it turned out that the island was inhabited by vengeful spirits, so blowing it up was something he didn't even dare to think about.
His ruthlessness also depends on the target...
He offered the other party a bunch of delicacies he had secretly stored in his space, and the old monster, seeing that he was a polite person, did not refuse.
Hearing that this former emperor was going to find a new continent, he even pointed out the direction for him and sent him a scale to shelter him from the storm...
After the large ship sailed away, the old monster muttered to himself, "Heaven really does favor the human race. Old things like us, who have attained enlightenment, are excluded and cannot live among humans."
It's been a century since I've tasted human food...
Longing is a curse, it torments one's heart and soul...
...
"The peddler is here again! Hurry!"
"Wait for me! I want to see the female peddler too! I want to be a female peddler when I grow up!"
"Your legs aren't even as thick as a person's arm, what are you dreaming of?"
"Grandma...open the door, I've brought some things!"
A child was drying wild vegetables and common medicinal herbs in an open space. When he saw Xiao Yi, dressed in coarse gray cloth, enter the village, he called his friends and went to inform the adults at home. Everyone was even happier when they heard that it was a female peddler.
Xiao Yi has a wide variety of goods at fair prices, and he can also tell the villagers about things outside, saving them the trouble of spending a whole day traveling to the county to inquire.
Little did they know that this female peddler's other transactions were the kind that could cost them their lives.
If she sets her sights on you, you'll lose both your money and your life...
The female peddler, carrying her load on a shoulder pole, steadily entered the village. Seeing an open space, she stopped to rest, actually to mingle with everyone. Bai Xian urged her to return for a group photo, and then she had to put her load back on.
Xiao Yi walked to the open space and learned that there was a white fairy in the village, so he took out some fruit from his basket and brought it over.
With a little child following along, and with Bai Xian and her godmother present, they needed to keep a close eye on them.
The female peddler placed fruit in front of the small temple and unexpectedly received a peanut and a berry from Bai Xian.
While handing over the items, Bai Xian simultaneously controlled the system's backend to take a series of photos without any blind spots, since there was plenty of memory available.
With her haughty, prickly white fairy, the puppet dressed as a peddler, the lifeless stone host, and the feigning-death Rongrong, everyone would agree that this was the highlight of her system's life.
