Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1537 (One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Seven) First Time

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "The Snow-Cold Grass is a strange grass. It didn't originally grow on Jingxi Mountain. After it was transplanted here, I put a curse on it, and the curse cannot be broken. Now the Snow-Cold Grass is emitting colorful light, and the shadow of the person watering it will blend into the colorful light. Only if someone waters it for three consecutive days, after taking down the Snow-Cold Grass, will the Snow-Cold Grass not immediately turn into black ash."

"Watering for three consecutive days?" Wu Xunsheng asked, "So do I have to come again tomorrow?"

Taoist priest Jingxi said, "Not only do you need to water it for three consecutive days, but you must also stay on Jingxi Mountain during these days. Because of the magic I cast, the aura on Jingxi Mountain is different from that of the outside world. If you want to successfully remove the Snow Cold Grass, you must not leave the mountain during the three days of watering. If you are contaminated by the aura of the outside world, the Snow Cold Grass will change into something else after you remove it, and lose its original function."

Wu Xunsheng was a little worried: But they are all waiting for me. I don’t know what will happen to them if I don’t go back.

Taoist Priest Jingxi noticed that Wu Xunsheng seemed to be worried about something, so he asked, "What are you worried about?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "Some people came with me, but they didn't go up the mountain. They sent me to the foot of Jingxi Mountain, and then I returned to my residence. When I talked to them, I felt that they all thought that I would be able to return to my residence on the same day."

"So you are afraid that they will worry about you?" asked Taoist Jingxi.

"Yes." Wu Xunsheng said.

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "But, there is no other way. You can't go back and tell them to come up to Jingxi Mountain again, otherwise you won't be able to water the Snow Cold Grass normally. You haven't started watering yet, but you have already approached the Snow Cold Grass today. Those who want to water the Snow Cold Grass normally cannot leave Jingxi Mountain and be contaminated by the outside air before watering the Snow Cold Grass for the first time after approaching it on Jingxi Mountain. If you go down the mountain and come up again, then when you water the Snow Cold Grass for the first time this evening, the water will be immediately blocked by the Snow Cold Grass as soon as it touches the Snow Cold Grass, and the Snow Cold Grass will not absorb your water. If it doesn't absorb your water, if you take down the Snow Cold Grass, it will turn into black ash the moment it is taken down."

"I'm close to the Snowy Cold Grass?" Wu Xunsheng recalled, "Could it be that the two trees emitting colorful light at the place where Master Chen played the Shakuhachi today were the Snowy Cold Grass?"

"That's right." said Taoist Jingxi.

"That is to say, except for Master Chen, anyone who approaches the Snow Cold Grass for the first time, if they want to water it normally, they must start doing it when they first go up the mountain." Wu Xunsheng said.

"That's true." Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "Because I once cast a curse on the Snow Frost Grass."

Wu Xunsheng asked: "If the person who approaches the Snow Cold Grass for the first time leaves Jingxi Mountain before watering it, then this person will never have the chance to water the Snow Cold Grass properly when he comes to Jingxi Mountain again in the future?"

"Yes." Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "Everyone only has one chance. As long as you reach the place where the light of the Snow Cold Grass can shine on the mountain peak just now, that person is already close to the Snow Cold Grass. You saw the Snow Cold Grass glowing just now, so you only have this one chance. In fact, now that I think about it, if I hadn't cast that spell before, the situation wouldn't be like this."
