Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1538 (One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Eight) Evening

Wu Xunsheng said, "I see." He thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if we can use animals to send messages from Jingxi Mountain?"

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "It is impossible. Under the influence of my magic, there are no animals on Jingxi Mountain that can send messages to the outside. Even if animals outside fly over Jingxi Mountain, they cannot land on Jingxi Mountain, and the animals that live here will not leave Jingxi Mountain."

"I'm a little worried that those people waiting for me might come and attack me because they see that I didn't go back today." Wu Xunsheng said.

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "There is only one Green Stone, and it is with you, right?"

"Yes." Wu Xunsheng said.

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "Without the Green Plate Stone, it will be difficult for them to get up here, unless they encounter special circumstances. The person I gave the Snow Cold Grass to last time was able to get up here because of special circumstances. After that, such special circumstances will never appear again."

"I'm worried that they will get hurt going up the mountain," said Wu Xunsheng.

Taoist Priest Jingxi asked, "What do they call you?"

Wu Xunsheng replied: "They all call me 'Boss'."

Taoist Priest Jingxi asked, "Can they recognize your handwriting?"

"I probably won't be able to recognize it." Wu Xunsheng said.

"It doesn't matter if they can't recognize you. Let's put it this way. I'll give you a piece of paper and you write a message to them, saying, 'The boss will be able to complete the mission and go down the mountain in a few days.' If I use magic to detect that someone is coming up and I can be sure that they are here to find you, I will use magic to give them the paper with your message. However, if someone comes up and I can't be sure whether they are here to find you, I will not be able to use magic to hand it over." Taoist Jingxi said.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Master Chen." Wu Xunsheng said.

Taoist priest Jingxi said, "In fact, few people come to Jingxi Mountain anymore. If someone comes, they will probably come to see you." Wu Xunsheng asked, "Do we have to water the snow-freezing grass in the evening every day?"

Taoist priest Jingxi said: "This snow cold grass needs someone to water it every sunset. I have been doing this all these years."

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to before watering?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Taoist priest Jingxi said, "I will definitely tell you when the time comes. You must get enough rest during the next few nights. You will pay the price when you take the snow-cold grass. You must be prepared. You can live in Xia Jing's room inside. No one has ever lived in that room, not even for a single day."

As he spoke, Taoist Master Jingxi showed a sad look again. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember that you just said that I could talk to you?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "Of course I remember."

"Can talking really ease the pain in your heart?" asked Taoist Jingxi.

Wu Xunsheng said, "Master Chen, why not give it a try?"

Taoist priest Jingxi said: "You are actually a good person. I told you that I could give you the Snow Cold Grass, and you were willing to listen to me."

Wu Xunsheng said: "The snow cold grass you are going to give me can relieve pain. I hope that after Chen Fangshi confides in me, it can also relieve pain."

Taoist priest Jingxi hesitated for a moment and said, "For so many years, there are some things I have never confided to anyone. Who knew that today I suddenly wanted to tell you, but I find it difficult to open my mouth. Over time, the pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow does not fade, but instead melts into my life. Sometimes I even wonder if that pain has become a part of my life."
