Chapter 176 Guanghan Fairy
Chapter 176 Guanghan Fairy
Li Ye nodded. He felt odd about Wei Xiaozhuang and Su Emei. When they fought against the Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe just now, the two of them had the majestic temperament. But after the withdrawal of the cultivation methods, they restored normal condition. Li Ye didn’t know why they would change, and now he felt more confused.
But Li Ye’s mind was clear, so he directly asked Su Emei a crucial question. “Are you Chang’e?”
Unexpectedly, Su Emei asked him doubtfully instead, “Who is Chang’e?”
“You are not Chang’e? What was going on just now?” Li Ye was shocked.
Su Emei smiled brightly, as charming as usual, without the slightest sense of distance. She gathered up her hair and said to Li Ye lightly, “Before reincarnation, I was Guanghan Fairy.”
“Reincarnation? Guanghan Fairy?” Li Ye was shocked again.
Put the reincarnation thing aside. He knew about Guanghan Fairy. But in fact, Guanghan Fairy was Chang’e!
The Guanghan Palace was the Moon Palace, and the fairy, who lived in the Guanghan Palace, was Chang’e—she couldn’t be the rabbit. This was the simple common sense for Li Ye.
After he was shocked for a while, he understood. This was not the earth a thousand years ago but a parallel universe, so things were different from the earth. Then it was understandable that Guanghan Fairy wasn’t named Chang’e.
Although the name was different, the person was the same one. Li Ye curled his lips secretly.
After figuring this out, Li Ye realized the problem of “reincarnation”, but he didn’t ask here, for he was carrying the Junior Priestess on the shoulder. Even though she was in Level 9 of Qi-refining, she wouldn’t feel comfortable after Li Ye carried her to run for so far and so long, so Li Ye decided to return to the courier station and put down the Junior Priestess first.
Cui Keli was standing at the door of the courier station. Li Ye said hello to him, and then he entered the courier station and came to his room. He breathed a sigh of relief after he put down the Junior Priestess, who looked calm and whose eyes were still clear and had on emotions, on the chair carefully.
“Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?” Li Ye asked the Junior Priestess first. After rushing back and forth for a long time, Li Ye was thirsty. The Junior Priestess just stared at him without saying anything. She didn’t nod or shake her head.
Her look was not difficult to understand, so Li Ye understood soon. “I guess you’re thirsty.”
After he untied the Junior Priestess and handed her the tea bowl, Li Ye sat down on the chair beside and let Su Emei and the others who came in with him also sit down.
The little Spiritual Qi she recovered along the way was all used to resist the jolts, otherwise, she would have been tortured to death, so she was still very weak. Li Ye was not afraid that after he untied her, she would pounce on him desperately, because it was meaningless. Although the Junior Priestess had a tenacious fighting spirit and never admitted defeat, she wouldn’t do meaningless things.
As expected, holding the tea bowl, the Junior Priestess ducked her head to drink water quietly without any abnormal reaction. Since her hands were still shaking slightly, she seemed to have been jolted along the way.
Li Ye said to Su Emei, “Tell me about the reincarnation thing.”
“It’s common that the immortal reincarnate when the human world is in chaos...” What Su Emei said next had no difference from the conversation between the browned cloaked Taoist and the Penglai Taoist in the Taoist temple.
After listening to Su Emei, Li Ye was confused. “So are you here to help the Taoist sect or me?”
Su Emei said, “It’s improper that the Taoist sect is above the secular world. The foundation of the immortal is to bless the common people and do good deeds. We and Penglai have different purposes. Whether we will help you or not, it depends on what you are going to do in the future.”
Li Ye understood. What she meant was obvious. The world was in chaos and feudal princes competed for hegemony. Su Emei and the others would help him if they thought Li Ye was a wise emperor; if not, they would go to find the feudal prince who really had the heart for the common people.
Li Ye asked Su Emei, “Then, are you Guanghan Fairy or Su Emei?”
This was an important question.
Su Emei smiled quietly. “I’m Su Emei. And whether I can become Guanghan Fairy, it depends on my fate.”
After a long talk, Li Ye finally figured it out that reincarnation was not hiding the soul of god in mind, so there was no such thing as drawing a line from the previous life and becoming someone else when awakening.
Awakening was more of about cultivation, and as for memory... That was pure memory. Like watching a movie, it was to let them know who they were and what they were reincarnated for.
In the final analysis, reincarnation was to be a human being again, to be a new man. All the senses, intelligence and emotions were based on this life.
Therefore, some immortals were unable to achieve the true way of Tao and become immortals again after reincarnation. Some of them were not qualified, and some of them were unwilling. Being human beings for two lives, their moral values had changed.
So reincarnation of the immortal was a very risky thing because being a human being was a very risky thing and there were too many variables. Different environments of growth and education shaped completely different people.
No matter how gifted and blessed you were, you had to follow the basic rules of Great Tao and the law of growth of human beings. If you fooled around, you would be over. According to Su Emei, there were many reincarnated immortals falling halfway.
It reminded Li Ye of the allusion of “The Sadness of Zhongyong”. That guy was likely the reincarnation of God of Wisdom, but he ruined himself in the end.
When Li Ye and Su Emei concentrated on the study of reincarnation, Liu Dazheng knocked on the door and reported the issue of the Qingshui Villa to Li Ye.
“Chen Beiwang mobilized the cavalry without an authorization?” Li Ye’s face darkened as he heard the news.
Tonight was the top priority in the game between Li Ye and Penglai and the game between Kung Fu Championship and the Convention of Immortals and Taoism. Whether he or the other side won, whether the cultivators of Pinglu Jianghu went east to Penglai or went west to Qing Prefecture, the first result would come out tomorrow morning.
In the situation of different Jianghu forces receiving the invitations at different time, the movements of the Wang family would undoubtedly have a great impact on the other Jianghu cultivators, more so plus the Chen family.
“Go to the Qingshui Villa!” Li Ye made a decision. Now the contradiction focused on the Qingshui Villa, so Li Ye had to settle this matter before dawn. According to the time that the Wang family received the invitation, they should leave for Qing Prefecture tomorrow morning.
After standing up, Li Ye glanced at the Junior Priestess. After drinking tea, she folded her hands over her knees and sat still quietly. While Li Ye, Su Emei and the others were talking, she was also listening carefully.
Li Ye thought for a while, and then he walked towards the Junior Priestess. As everyone watched in surprise, he carried the Junior Priestess on the shoulder again.
“What are you looking at? Go!” Li Ye said to Liu Dazheng who stood stunned, “Or you want to carry her?”
Liu Dazheng smiled awkwardly. Rubbing his hands, he went out first.
Now everyone had to go to the Qingshui Villa with no one staying here because they had to concentrate. It was possible that the Senior Priestess and Zhang Yunhe also went to the Qingshui Villa. Just now, if Li Ye’s Spiritual Qi were enough, he wouldn’t let them go.
Since everyone had to leave, the Junior Priestess certainly couldn’t stay here. What if she ran away? Besides, Li Ye didn’t want her to restore Spiritual Qi and have the strength to get him in trouble, so carrying her on the shoulder to rush could consume her Spiritual Qi on resisting the jolts. He could kill two birds with one stone.
The Junior Priestess had already calmed down, and when she sat upright on the chair, she completely recovered her ladylike demeanor. But now she was carried on the shoulder by Li Ye again. Hatred burning in her eyes, more than ever, she turned to stare at Li Ye fiercely.
Li Ye pretended not to see her look. Out of the door, he threw her on the horse and galloped the horse.
The courier station was not far from the Qingshui Villa and it wouldn’t take long to get there at high speed.
In the fields at the foot of the Qingshui Villa, two troops with totally one thousand cavalries had already been in formation.
These one thousand cavalries were the cavalry of Pinglu Army mobilized by Chen Beiwang. Different from Wang Hanshan who had no preparation for the Black Office when he came to the Qingshui Villa, Chen Beiwang, who left one day late, heard the news that the Cui family had accepted the invitation, so he mobilized one thousand cavalries to rush to the Qingshui Villa, just in case.
At present, Chen Beiwang, Wang Hanshan, Mu Qingliu and the others gathered in a mountainside pavilion. The view here was wide and they could enjoy the scenery of the fields below the mountain. Looking at the armor and long spears and the one thousand cavalries who were holding torches, Chen Beiwang felt confident and proud.
This made Chen Beiwang show great heroism as he spoke. “These one thousand cavalries are selected carefully and trained with great effort. They are elites and far more powerful than ordinary cavalries. In the entire Pinglu Army, as for the excellent armor and valiant soldiers, none of them can match these one thousand cavalries. I’m not talking big. These one thousand cavalries will have few rivals, even if they are going to conquer the world. Only the famous Shatuo cavalries are unable to fight them face to face!”
Speaking of this, Chen Beiwang snorted, but he appeared to be smiling. “Song Jiao’s Coldness of Yi River is really extraordinary. And I didn’t expect that she retired from Jianghu several years, but her cultivation has improved to Level 9 of Qi-refining. But so what? Can she resist these one thousand cavalries?”
No matter how much Chen Beiwang boasted, his last remark was true. When these one thousand well-armed and valiant cavalries charged forward, even the cultivators in Level 9 of Qi-refining dared not to fight them face to face. When facing thousands of troops, a single cultivator’s strength was too weak.
As long as he didn’t reach the Spiritual Master Realm, a cultivator was unable to fight against an army by his own.
Wang Hanshan said, “Insects Awakening Sword showed up like thunder and the Three Buyue Swords drove the enemy home. “It’s said that Nangong Diyi has fought against eight hundred savage cavalries of the grassland with his Three Buyue Swords, but I don’t believe it. Even if it is true, the savage cavalries’ armor is in bad condition because the grassland is short of iron, so when Nangong Diyi encounters our Pinglu elite cavalries in fine armor, what can he do?”
Mu Qingliu smiled and said, “With these one thousand elite cavalries, the Qingshui Villa can remain invincible. Plus with my Penglai Immortal sect and the cultivators of the two families, nothing will go wrong. Today, even if Prince An Li Ye comes personally, he can do nothing!”
Hundreds of steps away from the one thousand elite cavalries below the mountain, Song Jiao looked unhappy, while they were talking.
Her Coldness of Yi River did have great lethality, but it was impossible to control one thousand elite cavalries.
“Chief, what should we do now?” A swordsman in black looked worried. They had spent a lot of time here, but they even didn’t try to move, to say nothing of breaking through the military formation of the cavalries. The dawn was approaching, so everyone was worried.
Song Jiao said faintly, “Rest assured. Someone will come to deal with them.”
The swordsman in black was stunned for a while. “Chief, what do you mean?”
Song Jiao didn’t answer.
Before long, on the official road behind everyone, there were rapid clops coming. With a loud neigh, Li Ye got off the horse and walked over here.
When Song Jiao and the others looked back, they all looked surprised.
Because Li Ye came over, carrying a young woman on the shoulder.
