Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 405 Zhang Lingyu Meets Xia He Again

"What kind of gift is it? Is it food?" asked Feng Baobao who was sitting at the table.

"You are a person whose mind is always thinking about food."

"Gouwazi said that we should eat more when we can." Feng Baobao thought of the days decades ago when it was very uncomfortable to be hungry.

"Then I'll bring you some." After Yan Huan said this, he rushed to the Twenty-Four Sections Tongtian Valley first.

On the other side, Zhang Lingyu followed the clues provided by Yan Huan and came to a desolate area in the northernmost part of Tianjin.

After getting off the rural-urban bus, there are desolate mountains and wilderness in front of us. The dry and bare land is covered with only gray-yellow bushes. There are few birds flying in the sky and cicadas chirping. It looks a bit lonely and depressed.

"Hiding in a place like this, no wonder the Lu family couldn't find him."

Zhang Lingyu muttered to himself as a tricycle slowly came over on the country path leading into the mountains.

The lady riding the tricycle was about 60 years old and looked in good health. The back of the tricycle was loaded with bouquets of flowers, including roses, hydrangeas, frangipani, and a few peonies that had clearly missed their flowering period.

The path was narrow and their eyes met.

Zhang Lingyu nodded.

The old lady saw that the young man was dressed like a Taoist priest, and he was fair and handsome. She liked him very much. She stopped the car and approached him, saying, "Young Taoist priest, why are you going into the mountains alone? Are you traveling to practice?"

Zhang Lingyu smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "That's right."

He glanced at the almost bare mountain and said, "Donor, the scenery in the mountain is boring. Where did you get all these flowers? They are beautiful and smell good."

"Hehe, this is an old woman's business opportunity and I can't tell others easily, but since you are a cultivator, I will make an exception and talk to you about it." The old lady got out of the car and took a peony.

"I originally went to the mountains to get some sour dates, but I sprained my foot accidentally and was saved by a maid. This flower came from her."

"Oh, this girl is really a beauty. Last time I took my stupid son for a walk, he trembled all over when he saw her."

Zhang Lingyu raised his head slightly: "Growing flowers in this area?"

"She didn't grow flowers on purpose. The girl didn't intend to sell them. I saw that she had difficulty in moving around and she liked ancient costumes. She probably made a living by doing live broadcasts. Young people nowadays like this. She's pretty and doesn't have to worry about money..."

"Little Taoist priest, come here!"

The old lady handed over a white peony. The slender flower stem was tall and upright, and the petals were layered and as white as snow.

Zhang Lingyu prepared to pay as usual.

The old lady laughed, got back on the tricycle and started pedaling.

"No, no, don't you cultivators all believe in fate? I am happy to see you, so I'll take it as fate. I'll give it to you!"

With a wave of her hand, the old lady pedaled her bike and started moving.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, little Taoist priest, you'd better find some shelter. It's going to rain."

Zhang Lingyu looked up at the sky. Compared to before, the sky had indeed become a little dim, and even the air had become depressing and stuffy.

After taking only a few steps, huge raindrops began to fall, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a downpour.

Zhang Lingyu looked around, condensed golden light into an umbrella to block the rain, and walked slowly into the mountain on the increasingly muddy mountain road.

The weather in summer is changeable. The heavy rain raged for ten minutes and then stopped.

There is a smell of earth and intoxicating floral scent in the mountains and fields.

Zhang Lingyu pinched the stem of the peony, and for a moment he didn't know where the fragrance came from. It was hard to tell whether it was the peony in his hand or the garden in the mountains.

He just felt that the strange fragrance was a little familiar.

"Donor Yan's affairs are more important. Now is not the time to be distracted in a place like this."

Zhang Lingyu hinted to himself in his heart, but the faint scent of flowers in the ethereal atmosphere still aroused his mind.

He followed the scent and walked through a patch of dry grass. Suddenly, he saw a bright view in front of him.

There is a fresh and beautiful flower garden.

The sudden rain had just stopped, but the traces of scouring left by the heavy rain were still clear, and the petals were scattered and covered the soil.

Among the flowers, a woman in white was holding a broom, gently gathering the scattered petals back to the roots.

Zhang Lingyu walked forward lightly and said, "Miss, I want to ask you about someone."

The woman in white raised her head when she heard the voice, was slightly stunned, and looked back.

Her charming face and her hair wet with rain caught Zhang Lingyu's eyes, and instantly shocked him.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to have stopped, even the wind after the rain seemed to have died down.

"Master Lingyu..." the woman said softly.

Zhang Lingyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, "Xia Xia Xia Xia Xia Xia...Xia He!?"

No wonder Donor Yan kept talking about settling past ties and seeing his true heart before leaving. It turns out that things are waiting for him here.

"Hey~" When Xia He saw Zhang Lingyu, a hint of redness appeared on her pale and sickly face.

"It's been so long since we last met, why are you still the same?"

"Did you come here specially to see me?"

She put down the broom in her hand and stared at the peony in Zhang Lingyu's hand.

“This flower seems to be planted by me…”

"Uh..." Zhang Lingyu didn't say much. As Xia He pressed forward, his body unconsciously retreated.

No.

I have already made an agreement with Master and Donor Yan, how can I back down at this critical moment!

It is said that if a cultivator's heart is not sincere, he will not be able to make progress. So the matter with Xia He must be settled today.

call--

Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?"

"What~" Xia He pouted unhappily, "I thought you came to see me specially~"

"I also heard about what happened after the Luotian Grand Ceremony. You were able to use the Yin Five Thunders and reconcile with the Three Corpses. To be honest, I am very happy. I thought you finally let it go and accepted yourself..."

"Then why do you still feel like you've seen a ferocious beast when you see me now?"

Zhang Lingyu clenched his fists and kept his head down without saying a word.

One of the Three Corpses, the King of Poisonous Enemies, the Horse-Falling Poison Stake...
If you ask yourself honestly, this is indeed originated from his inner lust that he wants to take the initiative to do, rather than the desire caused by external seduction.

The cold touch startled Zhang Lingyu so much that he trembled and looked up suddenly. Xia He held his cheeks with both hands.

Zhang Lingyu asked: "Why is your Qi so weak?"

"You are hurt?"

Xia He slowly put her hands down and put her arms around Zhang Lingyu's waist.

"Guess~"

She pressed her face against Zhang Lingyu's chest again.

"The pectoral muscles are still as thick as before~"

"Ok?"

Zhang Lingyu didn't struggle or resist at all, which surprised Xia He.

"This is unlike you. If it was before when I teased you, you would have run away or even hit me."

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Hu - if you can always get rid of desires, your mind will naturally be calm; if you can clear your mind, your spirit will naturally be clear; naturally the six desires will not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated..." Zhang Lingyu muttered in a low voice.

Seeing this, Xia He was furious, "You big-nosed bastard! You always recite sutras when something happens. Can't you just look into your heart and ask yourself what you are thinking?"

"What's wrong with being with me? Is it worth torturing yourself like this?" "Because you..." Zhang Lingyu hesitated and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, this is not a place to stay for a long time, come back to Longhu Mountain with me..."

"No - don't -" Zhang Lingyu's words surprised Xia He, but she still refused.

"why?"

"I went to Mount Longhu to look for you, but you turned me away. Now you want me to go back just by saying so. I will lose face. Besides, I don't want to be a Taoist nun. It's also good to plant some flowers and plants here."

Zhang Lingyu turned his head away.

"Hmm~" Xia He raised her head, as if she had discovered something interesting.

The aloof and aloof Lingyu Zhenren from the past was certainly good, but now he looks so awkward and cowardly that he dares not show any reaction, which makes people want to play with him.

"Hey~Please beg me again~Maybe I will soften my heart and go back with you later."

"If a 'full-nature' demon like me is caught by the heir of the Tianshi Mansion, then it will be up to you, Master Lingyu, to decide my fate~"

"Tsk..." Zhang Lingyu's cheeks turned red. He broke free and angrily swung his sleeves, "Shameless."

Swish!
He returned along the way he came. "I have something important to do. I won't bother you any more."

Zhang Lingyu jumped up and fled to the top of the mountain.

Looking at the panic-stricken Lingyu Zhenren, Xia He lifted up her long sleeves of her white clothes and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh.

When Zhang Lingyu reached the top of the mountain, he began to look around for Lu Liang's whereabouts.

Turning from the east end of the mountain to the west, I circled around and there was no sign of anyone.

But the information Yan Huan gave was very clear. Lu Liang was indeed here, and it was only a matter of time before he showed up.

"Alas..." Zhang Lingyu sighed. After searching in vain, he secretly returned to Xia He's residence. From a distance of several dozen meters, he looked at the gorgeous and fragrant bouquets of flowers from afar.

It was past noon, and he took out the dry food he had brought with him and began to eat it.

At this time, a Land Rover Range Rover passed by the path leading into the mountain, and a man with dyed yellow hair jumped out of the car carrying a lot of bags.

"Xia He! How are you thinking about it? When are we going to get the marriage certificate?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Lingyu felt choked and quickly smoothed his chest.

"I haven't seen you for nearly a year and a half, and it has...it has developed to this point..." His handsome face was tinged with sadness.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyu jumped down.

Xia He walked out of the cabin in front of the mountain, folded his arms, and looked indifferent.

"Why is this idiot here again?"

Huangmao is also an extraordinary person, but his means are low and he knows very little about the affairs of the circle. Of course, he has heard of the names of the four madmen of "Quanxing". It is said that it is "Bone Scraping Knife" Xia He who can arouse lust and make people become disabled.

It was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Huangmao realized that Xia He was such a fresh, natural, elegant and refined beauty. So since they met half a year ago, he began to pursue her madly.

Xia He had no feelings for the yellow-haired man, but since Lingyu Zhenren was present today, she had no choice but to tease this high-ranking Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion again.

"Just come, don't spend money every time."

"It's a small amount of money, not even enough for my daily pocket money." said the yellow-haired man.

Zhang Lingyu's face was full of black lines, and he took over the conversation, "Could this donor's kindness be worth only a day's pocket money?"

The yellow-haired man was choked and said angrily, "Is this Taoist priest... Lingyu Zhenren? Why is the disciple of the old Taoist priest here, and why is he speaking rudely to me?"

The atmosphere was vaguely odd.

Huangmao had heard some rumors about Zhang Lingyu, especially after the Luotian Dajiao, the rumor that the immortal with an immortal appearance was not a perfect virgin was widely spread.

"Could it be you!"

"You two!?"

"That's right!"

Huangmao curled his lips, but didn't want to give up.

"You two are done, right? Then I'll do it."

Zhang Lingyu defended himself: "No."

"But you are a Taoist..."

Damn!

Huangmao suddenly thought that Zhengyi Taoist priests could marry and have children.

Well···

The two men glared at each other and confronted each other.

Seeing this, Xia He put her fingertips on her chin and thought for a while.

"How about this, I'll tell you one thing, and I'll listen to whoever of you can do it."

"It's actually quite simple. I'll go with whoever can take these three golden needles from me."

Xia He lifted up her loose white shirt, revealing three golden needles shining brightly on her waist.

The desolate aura emanating from the light made Zhang Lingyu's heart tremble.

I finally understand why this girl changed her clothing style, it's just that loose clothing is less likely to touch the wound.

"Who did it?" Zhang Lingyu asked coldly.

"Forget it, Master Lingyu. You can't beat me even if I tell you. Besides, I am very grateful to the owner of the golden needle now~" Xia He replied.

Huang Mao spread his hands and said, "It's just a small golden needle. What can't be removed? I won't be polite for now."

He touched his hand to the needle.

Swish!
When his fingers touched the golden light, Huangmao felt a sharp pain between his fingers, as if something had crushed the flesh and blood between his fingers, and he could even see the warm white bones.

“Ahhhh! I don’t want to play anymore, I don’t want to play anymore!”

He ran towards the vehicle while sucking his fingers.

Zhang Lingyu frowned, "What on earth is going on?"

Xia He shrugged helplessly, "Apart from being a little weak, didn't you notice anything abnormal about me?"

Zhang Lingyu looked over carefully and smelled a faint strange fragrance, which was soon covered by the scent of flowers in the flowerbed.

"Your breathing has become weaker?"

"Hehe~" Xia He smiled, "At the beginning, the golden needles really killed me, but for nearly two years, I have been guiding my Qi to prevent the wound from spreading. The result is that I am living a life worse than death. At the same time, the amount of Qi consumed by my muscle breathing has been reduced unknowingly."

"I don't know what the owner of the golden needle is thinking, but after growing flowers for so long and suppressing the golden needle for so long, I have indeed gained something. According to your understanding as a cultivator, I will just assume that he is saving me."

Zhang Lingyu seemed to have guessed the owner of the golden needle.

"Is this the trick of Donor Yan Huan?"

Xia He smiled without saying anything, which was considered as her agreement.

Zhang Lingyu shook his head and said, "Then this is not a way to atone for your sins. I know the character of Benefactor Yan very well. He is seeking justice for the benefactors who have become useless. As for what you think, it is probably an accident."

But since Donor Yan has done this, why do I need to come here today?

Zhang Lingyu closed his eyes.

诚！
Requires a sincere heart.

What should we do to be worthy of the word "sincerity" and "fairness"?
After thinking for a long time, the Golden Light Mantra covered Zhang Lingyu's whole body, then slowly flowed and condensed between his palms, protecting his right hand firmly.

"'Quan Xing' Xia He, remember our agreement. I will take these three 'golden needles' for you. You will return to Longhu Mountain with me. To pay for your karma, you must reflect on your sins in the cave at the back of the mountain for thirty years."

"Lingyu's heart was not sincere, causing my beloved to go astray. After returning to the mountain, I will naturally apologize to my master and bear the karma of the donor Xia He... I will accompany you for the next thirty years."

"Hey?" Xia He's fingers trembled slightly and her lips were slightly pursed. She wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked by the myriad emotions that surged into her heart.

She brushed down her long hair that was wet from the rain, her eyes sparkling, and replied:
"Let Lingyu Zhenren deal with it."
