Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 11.11. Do you want to eat the noodles your senior sister likes?
The capital of the Liuli Dynasty was called Shangyujing.

The name was given by the founding emperor, and no one knows what it means. Maybe he just picked it up randomly while drinking with someone.

This ancient dynasty, a blend of immortals and mortals, has a history spanning over a thousand years. Despite its rise and fall several times, it has remained standing, which suggests that this dynasty must possess something extraordinary.

"Dismount, dismount! What are you doing here in Yujing?"

The shouts of the soldiers guarding the city gate made Lu Changyuan feel a little dazed. This was his first time here and he was unfamiliar with the city, but Chang'an Daoist was familiar with the city, at least with the city gate in front of him.

The mottled city walls are vastly different from what I remember, and the familiar trees outside the city have long since disappeared.

The unfamiliar surroundings of Shangyujing filled the air before me.

The way is to turn away from the lamp and the moon and seek shade under the flowers; it has been ten years since I left my mark, ten years since I left my heart.

Everything is different now.

Lu Changyuan paused abruptly as he dismounted.

what.

I remembered.

The city wall in front of him must have been rebuilt; the original one was shattered by his sword a thousand years ago when he was fighting with someone.

No wonder I can't find that feeling from the past.

Lu Changyuan smiled and shook his head, then took out a white jade token.

"So you are a celestial master from Miaoyu Palace, please come in quickly!"

The guard changed his expression, smiled, and stepped aside.

Lu Changyuan said, "Judging from your casual manners, quite a few fellow Daoists have already entered the city."

"Yes, Immortal Master, His Majesty ordered a month ago that immortals should not be stopped at the city gates."

Has this emperor lost his mind?

Knowing full well that news of the Heaven-Mending Pill had been leaked and that all sorts of demons and monsters were rushing here, why didn't they take precautions?

A month has passed, and Shangyujing is probably already teeming with all sorts of monsters and demons.

The guard looked at Lu Changyuan in thought, then smiled wryly and said, "We tried to stop him before, but we couldn't, so we just let him go."

It's like a pretty widow who's been targeted and, powerless to resist, simply lets herself go and enjoy it.

"Things must have been rather unsettled in the city these past few days."

Based on the blood-red words I saw two days ago.

There are still four or five days until the Heaven-Mending Pill is released, so these next few days are unlikely to be peaceful.

The guard sighed, "That's right. We see immortals fighting every day, but they are still quite restrained and haven't hurt us mortals. Maybe they're afraid of committing too many killings and being judged by the immortals of the Taoist sect."

Lu Changyuan ignored the guard's grumbling and led his horse into the city.

Xia Lianxue, dressed in a green robe and wearing a white veil, sat on her horse without saying a word.

"What? Are you unhappy? This is the royal city. People from other places have to kowtow a few times at the city gate before they can enter."

Lu Changyuan told a joke.

Xia Lianxue didn't laugh.

She hasn't smiled for days.

"Don't keep it to yourself. So what if you've lost all your cultivation and been expelled from the sect? It's not like you're dead."

Xia Lianxue thought to herself that she would rather be dead.

But Lu Changyuan's words seemed to be under some kind of spell, and she actually thought: Yes, as long as we're alive, there's hope; it's not like we're dead.

Then the fairy spoke softly: "Cihang Palace".

"Ok?"

"The third princess of the Liuli Dynasty is a true disciple of Cihang Palace. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should still respect the Buddha. Before Dan is born, she won't go too far."

Cihang Palace is one of the Nine Gates and Twelve Palaces.

This is yet another new sect that Lu Changyuan has never heard of.

Lu Changyuan asked, "Is Cihang Palace very strong?"

Xia Lianxue paused for a moment: "White Domain Daoist Sect, Black Domain Cihang Palace."

The cultivation world is divided into two domains, the Black Domain and the White Domain. The Dao Fa Men and the Ci Hang Palace are the strongest sects in their respective domains.

"How could a group of nuns attain enlightenment?"

Xia Lianxue shook her head, her snow-white veil swaying gently as she said, "Cihang Palace does not worship Buddha."

Lu Changyuan asked in confusion, "Then what do you believe in?"

“They only believe in Cihang Guanyin and nothing else, which is different from some Buddhist nunneries.”

What's going on in this cultivation world? Buddhist monks don't chant scriptures, and nunneries only believe in Guanyin.

Five hundred years later, the world becomes so vast and unrecognizable.

Lu Changyuan waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to those palaces and gates.

He simply asked, "Are you hungry? I see a noodle shop over there, let's go eat noodles."

Xia Lianxue managed to calm herself down. She had originally planned to continue explaining to Lu Changyuan who the Third Princess was.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changyuan wouldn't listen at all.

Lu Changyuan added, "Your senior sister really likes to eat. When she was at my house, she ate all the noodles I cooked and all the eggs."

My senior sister is actually a glutton?

This was something Xia Lianxue hadn't anticipated.

"How can you have the strength to cultivate immortality if you don't eat your fill? You are weaker than a mortal now, and it is time for you to eat."

It’s okay not to say it.

Xia Lianxue was indeed quite hungry.

A long-lost feeling of hunger surged up when my thoughts of sadness eased slightly, causing me to feel dizzy and almost fall off my horse.

Lu Changyuan caught her in time, and without any lingering attachment to her softness, quickly released Xia Lianxue.

The scent of a man wafted into Xia Lianxue's nostrils.

The dizziness worsened.

The noodle shop is right in front of us.

This is a really old and small noodle shop. There is no shop door, just a few tables and chairs in the corner, and a sign hanging next to it.

The words on the sign were not very clear, and the wooden benches were all chipped.

But this noodle shop was packed with people early in the morning.

Lu Changyuan walked up to the shop owner and asked, "Is there any room left?"

The boss was an old woman with a face full of wrinkles. When she saw Lu Changyuan arrive, she opened her eyes with difficulty and then carefully looked him over.

"Is that young lady over there with you, young master?"

"Yes, the two of them."

There are still seats available.

I don't know where the old woman came from, but she brought out a table, wiped off the dust, and then brought out two stools.

He then asked, "What would you like to eat, young master?"

"Two bowls of vegetarian noodles."

Lu Changyuan sat at the table, smiling as he looked at Xia Lianxue. Sure enough, he heard Xia Lianxue say, "You're going to give me this to eat?"

I feel better now.

"I'm a poor doctor, I have no money. Do you know that even vegetarian noodles in the capital are very expensive, unlike in the countryside?"

Xia Lianxue bit her red lips and trembled as she took out a small bag from her bosom. This was her private savings from when she was on missions in the palace.

Go again.

Before they could finish speaking, the old woman placed a plate of braised beef and a plate of braised peanuts in front of them.

Lu Changyuan smiled, his eyes narrowed: "What does this mean?"

"New customers will come all the time. It's free. Just come back often. The noodles will take a little while to arrive."

After the old woman went back to cook noodles, Xia Lianxue said, "You knew all along?"

Lu Changyuan had already picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "This is also my first time eating noodles here."

The fairy also picked up the chopsticks, but said in a low voice, "I don't believe you."

"You'd better learn to trust me."

Xia Lianxue was a little annoyed, but only a little.

She was still grateful; it was Lu Changyuan who removed the demon from her; otherwise, she would be dead by now.

Bang!

A jar of clear wine was placed on the table.

Xia Lianxue turned to look at the old shop owner: "Is this also a benefit for new customers?"

The old woman paused for a moment, then said in a frail voice, "Yes."
