What should be done about the system?

Lin Yaoxie was a little anxious. Tang Xuejian was still not far away, and he was really afraid that he would get hurt.

"Host, please use Blazing Powder."

After the cold voice finished speaking, Lin Yaoxie produced something in his hand. This thing was none other than Flame Powder. Lin Yaoxie had no suspicions and reached out to sprinkle the powder down. Unexpectedly, the poisonous people who came into contact with the powder immediately turned into burning people.

It was absolutely true that it burned people. When the powder was poured on them, the scene changed completely. The poisonous people instantly caught fire. Lin Yaoxie finally understood why it was called Flame Powder.

After burning a wave of poisoned people, those poisoned people could no longer get close to this location because their eyes were filled with fear.

Xu Changqing felt a little uncomfortable watching this scene, while Lin Yaoxie didn't feel much, since the other party was courting death.

Lin Yaoxie ran to the big tree where Tang Xuejian was and found that Tang Xuejian was still obediently waiting for him.

"Good girl, give your husband a kiss." Without any warning, Lin Yaoxie gave her a light, fleeting kiss on the cheek.

After the kiss, I realized the girl was shy; her fair cheeks instantly flushed pink, and even her neck turned red.

Lin Yaoxie's mouth was a little dry, and the air between them was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.

"Did you burn all those poisonous people to death?" Tang Xuejian had no choice but to shift her attention away from Lin Yaoxie's burning gaze.

"Well, but it still accounts for a large part."

Lin Yaoxie had no choice but to continue speaking in accordance with her words.

"Brother Lin and the others are also made of flesh and blood. If there are still poisonous people, should we just burn them?" Xu Changqing was somewhat dissatisfied with this approach. Their original purpose was to save these people.

What if they all burned to death? Besides, those people weren't particularly wicked; it was just that they felt a little reluctant to do so.

"Look, if we can save these people, that would be the best outcome." Lin Yaoxie also knew that simply burning these people to death would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"It would be best to develop an antidote." Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and still felt that developing an antidote would be preferable.

Chapter Twenty-One: Zi Xuan

When the three returned to the inn, it was already dawn.

Lin Yaoxie was overcome with drowsiness and fell asleep immediately.

Xu Changqing was wide awake, for no particular reason other than the figure that had appeared in his mind once again.

Xu Changqing chanted the Heart-Cleansing Mantra over and over again, but it was all in vain.

Xu Changqing stopped chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, not because he was cured, but because the woman in his mind was standing in front of him, which made him somewhat at a loss.

"Who are you?" Xu Changqing suppressed his doubts. He had a feeling that ever since this woman appeared...

Xu Changqing felt that something was wrong with him ever since this woman appeared. This figure, which had been haunting his mind for so long, had finally appeared at this moment. He had a very strong feeling in his heart, but Xu Changqing did not know what that feeling was.

Don't you remember me?

Zi Xuan looked at the figure she had longed for day and night, but at the moment of her arrival, he did not remember her, which made her very sad.

Xu Changqing shook his head honestly. In his mind, only her image appeared, but he did not know who she was.

"Zixuan, let's go." The Holy Maiden couldn't bear to watch any longer. Humans and gods are not so easy to be together; in fact, they can't be together at all.

Xu Changqing did not notice when another person appeared.

He discovered that whenever the woman in his mind appeared, his reactions would become much slower, which is why Xu Changqing didn't want the figure in his mind to appear again.

This has completely disrupted his meditation practice.

"I don't know you, please leave immediately." Xu Changqing issued the order to leave in a stern and formal manner.

Zi Xuan was extremely unwilling, but she was already leaving because she realized that Xu Changqing did not remember her.

"Let's go." The Holy Maiden pulled Zi Xuan away, and was about to leave. Zi Xuan looked heartbroken, as if she couldn't accept that Xu Changqing didn't recognize her.

She had imagined a million scenarios, even what they would say when they met, but the one thing she hadn't expected was that Xu Changqing didn't remember her. This made her somewhat sad, or rather, extremely sad.

Only after Zixuan left did Xu Changqing relax.

For some reason, he was very nervous about Zixuan, and he didn't even know why.

Xu Changqing thought carefully about his life in Shushan over the years, and he was quite certain that he had never met this person named Zixuan.

But she seemed strangely familiar, yet I couldn't remember who she was.

He got up in frustration. He couldn't cultivate without a calm mind, because in such a state, he was very likely to suffer a qi deviation.

Xu Changqing stood in the courtyard of the inn, feeling very uncomfortable. The image of Zixuan kept popping into his mind, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

Why can't I sleep? 〃々?

Lin Yaoxie said with a roguish air, and even if Xu Changqing didn't say it, he could guess the reason.

"Brother Lin, I have some questions. Could you answer them for me?"

Perhaps it was because Xu Changqing's expression was too sincere that Lin Yaoxie couldn't bear to refuse him, and he knew why without being told.

"Recently, the image of a woman keeps appearing in my mind, which I don't know why, because I've never seen that woman before."

Xu Changqing finished explaining everything in one breath, things that had been puzzling him for a long time.

"Do you believe in past lives?" Lin Yaoxie didn't answer his question, but instead asked a question leisurely.

Then I sat on the railing of the inn, gazing at the desolate moonlight in the sky.

"The previous life?"

Xu Changqing frowned, as if he had grasped something, but also as if he hadn't grasped anything at all.

"Regarding the previous life."

"I believe."

Xu Changqing looked directly into Lin Yaoxie's eyes, and Lin Yaoxie knew that he was not lying.

Why do you believe that?

Lin Yaoxie felt that he was very much like a demon now.

Like a curious child, they could write a hundred thousand "whys".

"Because Master once said that people are reincarnated, and there is cause and effect. The grudges of the previous life are repaid in this life, and the kindness of the previous life is repaid in this life." Xu Changqing explained his reason, and Lin Yaoxie then added a sentence.

The love from the previous life continues in this one. Lin Yaoxie felt that he might not have said it very well, because it didn't rhyme.

Xu Changqing suddenly looked at Lin Yaoxie. His master taught him everything, but he never taught him what love was in this world. He remembered asking his master when he was a child out of curiosity.

"Master, what do you mean by this relationship?"

Xu Changqing was still very young at that time.

"I don't know either, but there's one thing I need you to remember: feelings are often untouchable. You must remember that you are a disciple of Mount Shu, and you cannot have these kinds of feelings in your heart." After his master finished speaking, he left. From then on, Xu Changqing never understood what human emotions were.

"Brother Lin, do you know what this situation is?" Xu Changqing asked somewhat woodenly. Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie knew that this guy must be a pure virgin.

What great things can someone who has no love in their heart accomplish?

However, Lin Yaoxie knew that although Xu Changqing did not know, it did not mean that he was ignorant.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Why are you asking me?"

After Lin Yaoxie finished speaking, he patted his shoulder and went back to sleep.

"Yes, why would I ask?"

Xu Changqing lowered his head, looked at his palm, smiled bitterly, and looked somewhat confused. But then the confusion disappeared and was replaced by clarity.

Back in her room, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but admire Xu Changqing's intelligence. Although he was just someone who only knew how to practice martial arts and had no enjoyment whatsoever, it didn't mean he was stupid or ignorant. When he asked her what love was, Lin Yaoxie knew that she knew, but she just didn't want to admit it.

(Zhao Zhaohao) Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lin Yaoxie woke up right on time. He had a very punctual biological clock.

Tang Xuejian yawned and got downstairs.

"White tofu is quite early."

As soon as Lin Yaoxie came downstairs, he saw Xu Changqing already sitting there eating.

After finishing breakfast, the three decided to go back to the spot from yesterday to keep watch, just in case they were lucky enough to run into the Five Poison Beast.

They were about to leave when a group of people at the next table caught their attention; they must have been talking about a troublemaker.

"Hey, have you guys heard about what happened last night?"

"what's up?"

"The gods appeared again last night, but this time it was different. Those who were punished by the gods were burned alive."

The person speaking had a sigh on their face, and it was unclear who they were addressing.

After listening for a while, Lin Yaoxie could tell from their worship of the gods that they were worshipping. He shook his head and said, "What gods? They're just mutated creatures that have been poisoned."

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Five Poisonous Beasts [First Update]

"How did those people know that the poisoner from yesterday was burned to death?" Lin Yaoxie was curious about this. They didn't notice anyone around them last night. Could it be that someone was really watching them?

But if it were just ordinary people, there's no reason why they wouldn't have noticed it.

"Brother Lin, you haven't heard of the Five Poison Beast?"

Xu Changqing asked him a question.

Lin Yaoxie thought about it seriously and really wanted to say: Does it count as something from a TV series?

If he were to mention TV dramas, Tang Xuejian would probably pester him to tell her about them again.

After thinking for a while, he honestly shook his head.

These five poisonous beasts have a very strange characteristic: those bitten by them will experience the same symptoms as the day before every nightfall, only to recover completely by dawn.

It is. ”

Xu Changqing finished explaining the characteristics of the Five Poison Beast. In fact, during the day, no one could see any symptoms when bitten by the Five Poison Beast, but at night, it was a different story.

He mutates and goes berserk at night, but is a normal person during the day.

"These 773 unique items?" Lin Yaoxie's eyebrows twitched. This Five Poison Beast was incredibly powerful.

"Can those bitten by the Five Poisonous Beasts also remember the changes they experienced at night?" Lin Yaoxie asked this question, having some answers in mind, but unwilling to believe them.

"Yes, that's why they remember it so clearly."

Xu Changqing spoke slowly. Lin Yaoxie felt a little guilty because he had burned some people to death yesterday, but if those people hadn't died, they would have been in danger.
