Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 302 Ghost Dream
Wei Xi didn't know much about pharmacology, so he didn't use the powder given by your uncle yesterday just out of caution.

On the contrary, your uncle mentioned these medicinal powders again today, which made people suspicious.

Therefore, facing Qin Feng's doubts, Wei Xi frowned and replied, "To ensure safety, you can't carry this thing with you!"

Out of respect for your uncle's identity as a monk, Wei Xi used his spiritual power to drill a narrow hole about ten feet deep on the spot, and buried the medicinal powder and the dry food given by the other party together.

Nanjiang's hot and humid climate promotes lush vegetation. Wei Xi and the other two are usually quite tall among the crowd, but now they are submerged in this endless and sticky green.

"This insect is so cowardly," Lian Gouyue crushed two talismans that were used to block moisture. "How can the Taobin tribe, which is the size of a fly's leg, compare to the bountiful resources of this mountain forest? Even if it had chosen a more powerful tribe, its life would have been worthwhile!"

"Those words weren't written by bugs," Wei Xi continued to trace the characters on the hanging coffin in his mind. "They were probably putting on a show for us."

"These people are so dishonest," Qin Feng, who was clearing the way with a machete, said disdainfully, "They harbor evil intentions and are probably wicked! I don't know what they're planning... If they really had any difficulties, they could tell us and maybe we could help. But what's going on now?"

"What's the saying? If an enemy comes, we'll fight him; if a flood comes, we'll block it with earth!" Lian Gouyue said proudly, "If your uncle wasn't afraid, why would he surrender? The three of us are invincible!"

Wei Xi was quite curious about where Lian Gou Xie bought this facial skin, which seemed endless layer upon layer.

Adhering to the principles of unity and fraternity, Wei Xi chose to change the subject. "'Follow God's will, stay close to the heart of the mountains.' ... What does that even mean?"

"That uncle of yours rarely speaks the truth. He might be lying! He's leading us into a pile of monsters!"

Before Qin Feng finished speaking, Lian Gou's pupils shrank slightly, and he said anxiously: "There are many monsters in Jiuai Mountain. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it! What should I do?"

"It's not difficult," Qin Feng said with a smile, "I'll kill anyone I see, and run away if I find a tough one. If that doesn't work out, I'll still have you sacrifice yourself to save your fellow disciples!"

Lian Gouye hummed twice, rarely refusing to argue with Qin Feng. He only muttered, "Follow the will of God, and stay close to the heart of the mountains."

"Let's take a look at the situation in Jiuai Mountain first," Wei Xi, who was thinking about the Longevity Wood, drew his machete. "They are just trying to feed us to the worms. At least we have a clue, which is much better than searching the mountain."

"Or perhaps they're also eyeing the Longevity Wood, and are tricking us into coming here to take it so they can reap the benefits... There's still room for maneuver."

Wei Xi's idea was to delay: after all, the Longevity Wood didn't have legs, so when the fox's tail could no longer be hidden, he could take the Longevity Wood and escape.

The left and right sides of his face were molded by Lian Gou, his name was made up by Wei Xi, and his identity was Qin Feng's enemy. If they left Jiuai Mountain, these people would not be able to find a place to seek revenge!

The three of them wandered around Jiuai Mountain for another two days, but apart from the abandoned tribal ruins, they did not find anything related to the pass.

They saw quite a few weak monsters. With Qin Feng around, these specialties of Jiuai Mountain became special dishes, and the three of them burped after eating them.

That night, Wei Xi was on the first shift. She sat by the fire, practicing with [Pulling Thread]. The little puppet under her control kept fighting with its arms and legs, without any of the amazing performance described in the notes.

Wei Xi was greatly disappointed and had to give up the idea of becoming a big shot in one go. He started practicing from controlling the puppet's legs.

After all, these puppets are expensive to make, and if they can't bear it, they have to run back to let Wei Xi recycle the materials.

Fortunately, the [Pulling Silk] was not an ordinary item and did not get tangled or knotted, otherwise Wei Xi would have been really upset.

The forest at night is even more lively than during the day. Creatures from land, sea, and air gather together, and insects, rats, and snakes compete on the same stage. Lately, while on night watch, Wei Xi has been hearing a constant rustling sound. After putting away the "Pulling Silk," Wei Xi was startled by the sheer stillness of the surroundings.

Wei Xi immediately grasped the machete in his hand and looked around vigilantly. Since there was no danger for the time being, he wanted to wake up the remaining two people.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng and Lian Gou were sleeping so soundly that they could not be woken up even after patting them several times.

Wei Xi's heart sank, but he didn't know when the three of them fell into the trap.

Jiuai Mountain is located in the heart of Nanjiang, and the miasma persists all year round. When they chose their campsite, they avoided the low-lying areas where the miasma was prevalent, and they also took elixirs, which should have nothing to do with the miasma; as for the water they drank, it was all the water stored in the Qiankun bag.

Without having time to think more, Wei Xi immediately lifted the triangular scarf to cover her mouth and nose, then crushed more than twenty protective talismans, and she also took out several puppets to use as shields.

Wei Xi performed this set of movements smoothly, and I don't know how many times he practiced it in his mind.

Wei Xi has been in the immortal sect for more than four years. She believes that she has seen a lot of ups and downs. She is not afraid of open or hidden attacks. Only things that disappear without a trace can make people feel scared.

The enemy was in the dark, while we were in the light. A hasty breakout could lead to a trap. Wei Xi had no choice but to play it safe, guarding the two sleeping men until the enemy attacked first or daybreak.

Wei Xi's back was covered in cold sweat. She calmed herself down, and her fingers gripping the knife handle turned slightly white. All the signals around her five senses were amplified, stimulating her sensitive nerves.

The spreading fog gathered together the tiny sounds in the mountains and forests, revealing a corner of the secrets of Jiuai Mountain.

Wei Xi tried to detect a suspicious sound. She felt a familiar voice lingering in the mist, like a faintly off-key tune that had drifted eighteen miles off the pitch.

Soon, Wei Xi's expression changed. In the mist, a mixed voice sang softly, "In brocade clothes and jade belt, he was indeed a handsome young man; with cloud-like hair and beautiful face, how could he die so gracefully?"

Isn't this the song sung by that old blind man in Sucheng? How did it appear here?

Wei Xi's tongue pressed hard against her palate. She suspected that she had heard it wrong, so she pricked up her ears to listen carefully. The next moment, her face turned pale: the lyrics were the same as those sung by the old blind man in Sucheng.

But compared with the old blind man's rich emotions, the lyrics Wei Xi heard at this time were emotionless and so dull that it was creepy.

Calming his mind, Wei Xi raised his sword and took a step forward, slashing three times at the grayish-white mist. The light green spiritual power sank into the lingering mist, like a drop of water in the ocean, and disappeared without a trace.

Wei Xi was not good at swords, so he could only chop people, but when he encountered such a roundabout method, he could only give it a try.

It really didn't work. It was true that if Qin Feng was awake, he might be able to fight.

At this moment, the ethereal lyrics suddenly emerged from behind Wei Xi.

Wei Xi was terrified: the two people behind her were completely powerless to fight back!
Wei Xi turned her head in horror. Right next to her head was a group of upright corpses. A piece of rotten flesh was falling from the mechanically opening and closing jaw of the nearest one. "...Dead and gone!"

"Wei Xi!"
