Vol 4 Chapter 7 (2/2)
At this moment, a cold and cal, ”So there you are”
Wild Dog Taoist’s body shook, he turned around to look, Xiao Huan beside him had already exclaimed, ”Ah! It's you!”
On the ancient path outside the stone pavilion, a youngon his shoulder, it was Ghost Li
This was just the beginning of fall, although it was noon but it was not as sweltering hot like summer, an occasional cool breeze blew past the stone pavilion from time to time
Just that inside the stone pavilion, the auest, Ghost Li, suddenly turned quiet
Wild Dog Taoist’s face turned red and then white while sitting by the side, his eyes staring on the ground, looking quite nervous Ghost Li still expressionlessly stood at the other side, did not pay anyat Zhou YiXian
Xiao Huan glanced at Wild Dog Taoist then at Ghost Li, after a long tiZi, hy have you come?”
Ghost Li looked at her and said, ”I carandfather”
Zhou YiXian was stunned and said, ”Looking for me?”
Ghost Li nodded and said, ”Yes, I will like to consult senior on one question”
Xiao Huan i and assured him then she curiously asked Ghost Li, ”Ah! You are such a powerful person, ill you like to ask randfather?”
While conversing, she suddenly saw Xiao Hui as on Ghost Li’s shoulder, a pair of eyes turning around and grinning right at her, she could not help but felt an instant fancy to it, she save you the candied haws! Do you still remember me?”
”Zi zi, zi zi” The monkey Xiao Hui called out, nodded incessantly and suddenly leapt from Ghost Li’s shoulder into Xiao Huan’s bosoood impression of the candied haws
Xiao Huan beamed with smiles, stretched her hands out to catch Xiao Hui, unexpectedly when she caught Xiao Hui, her hands sunk down, it was unexpectedly heavy and alround Luckily her reaction was quick and she quickly increased her strength, that stabilized her body and she ed to hold Xiao Hui steadily but in her heart she felt astonished Just only several days and Xiao Hui’s body too did not seeht increased almost half or more, it was really odd!
Ghost Li watched Xiao Huan teased Xiao Hui, laughing [ge ge] non-stop, looking extrehted, deep inside his eyes a faint smile seemed to appear but after which it disappeared and he turned over and faced Zhou YiXian
Zhou YiXian shrugged and said, ”I this old e of six cartloads of books, there is nothing under the sky that I would not know But you actually cae What is it, why don’t you say?”
[Translator’s note: the correct terht dou, it means endoith unusual literary talents and for six cartloads, the correct term is five cartloads]
Ghost Li did nothis own trumpet, indifferently said, ”That day in the death e person with a fish head which sneaked up on your granddaughter, do you still remember?”
Zhou YiXian was surprised, Wild Dog Taoist and Xiao Huan ere beside, heard it and both looked over
Xiao Huan while carrying Xiao Hui said, ”Right! That Zi and PingEr sister rendering their help in time, I would almost be killed by it”
Ghost Li was still facing Zhou YiXian and said, ”At that time you said that monster was one of the the human fish tribe froht?”
Zhou YiXian thought for a ht”
Ghost Li cupped his hands together and said, ”I wonder what else does senior knows about this human fish tribe?”
Zhou YiXian glanced at Ghost Li and said, ”Why are you suddenly interested in this?”
Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, ”Since I have already consult senior, I need no longer hide the rest froroup that looked similar to that human fish, we had heavy casualties therefore I will like to understand more from senior”
Zhou YiXian frowned, his body gradually straightened, his eyes reflecting his deep thoughts but he did not speak Ghost Li was not i while, Zhou YiXian suddenly said, ”Those ruesome death, their bodies mutilated into pieces, too horrible to look at?”
”Ah!” this soft exclahtened and obviously shocked
Ghost Li unhurriedly nodded, his eyes looked deeply at this old ht, it is indeed”
Zhou YiXian nodded and said, ”Then it will not be wrong, definitely done by the hureat e tribe branch have weird appearances and already have fish-head-huend, they are the descendents of the union between the ancient fish God and a huirl and called themselves the descendents of the God of Fish This tribe has always been cruel and bloodthirsty and they believe regardless whether it’s ani, they have to chop the body up in order to destroy the soul too, so as to prevent future repercussion Therefore those killed under their hands, regardless if it’s ani”
Suddenly a strange sound was heard, both of them looked over, Xiao Huan’s face was pale, her eyebrows frowning tightly, looking slightly revolted
Zhou YiXian shook his head slightly, looked at Xiao Huan, sighed and said, ”The world is so huge, how s that are out there, you still don’t know!”
Ghost Li naturally was not like Xiao Huan but he too frowned his brows and said, ”How is it that such savage and barbarian tribe was not heard before?”
Zhou YiXian indifferently said, ”You have been staying in Central Plain all these while, naturally you won’t understand this type of wild tribes Within Southern border ten thousand great mountains, treacherous rapids and barren mountains were everywhere, the people there devour raw meat and fowl, completely different from the civilized people of the Central Plain But those tribes have always been staying at where their ancestors resided and between the Central Plains and Southern border, there resides one of the world’s three great Good Faction sect, ‘FenXiang Valley’ Occasionally a few of the Valley’s disciples using their Taoist family skills, therefore the Central Plains never knew about the Southern border tribes Forthe world when I was young and had travelled to an area near the Southern border ten thousands great s”
Ghost Li slowly nodded but his eyes gradually brightened and said, ”Then according to what senior has said, it is reasonable that occasionally one of theroup of tribe people quietly entering Central Plains and even till the extent of the death marsh which is at least thousand of miles away fro Valley which has been keeping watch on the Southern border, so has happened to it…”
Zhou YiXian suddenly stretched and lazily said, ”Then that is your problem, I can’t be bothered”
Ghost Li pondered for a while and said, ”Thank you senior”
After speaking, he turned over and saw Xiao Huan was hugging Xiao Hui and playing with it
Xiao Huan saw Ghost Li turning over and could not help but sht, why did it gain so rey scar on its forehead, it seems like another eye He he, isn’t it ah! Monkey?”
Xiao Huan rinned, its tail swishi+ng widely behind
Ghost Li was disconcerted Ever since that day at the Celestial Emperor Treasury where Xiao Hui had drunk that e stone, it, like being drunk, had slept fully for two days and two nights After waking up it did not seeht suddenly increased a lot and its appearance started to alter gradually, its fur turned shi+ny and glossy, especially that grey scar on its forehead, became more and more defined
But other then that, Xiao Hui did not seereedy Initially Ghost Li had soe behaviour, he was not so worried anymore
Ghost Li paused for a while and turned to look at Wild Dog Taoist Wild Dog Taoist looked at him, fear showed in his eyes
Ghost Li indifferently said, ”You intend to follow them in the future?”
Wild Dog Taoist hesitated for a moment, said, ”Yes”
Ghost Li said, ”What I have said to you before, do you still remember, Nian Leader and those people will come and look for you anytime”
Wild Dog Taoist’s face becalanced at Xiao Huan and said, ”I know, I don’t care too, it was them who betrayed the sect and still have the cheek to look for me?”
Ghost Li intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Xiao Huan then looked away and said, ”Since you want it this way then just do what you like”
Wild Dog Taoist was stunned, he raised his head and see Ghost Li ignored hiestured to Xiao Hui Xiao Hui, with a [sou] sound, scurried out of Xiao Huan’s embrace, in two three jumps went up to Ghost Li’s shoulder
Xiao Huan was startled and looked reluctant, said, ”You are leaving now?”
Ghost Li nodded, cupped his hands together towards Zhou YiXian and then black-green light drifted out below his body, in an instant becaht up to the sky and in a moment disappeared into the horizon
Watching Ghost Li’s figure disappearing, Wild Dog Taoist suddenly heaved a long sigh, seemed like when Ghost Li was here, there was an invisible pressure, pressing him breathless
Xiao Huan saw it and was about to tease him with a feords, suddenly aout, ”Sister, we have ain”
Xiao Huan was startled but before she turned around, she was already sEr sister”
Turning around to look, it was indeed the a behind her
Wild Dog Taoist was after all an Evil Sect Er, his expression showed discoEr and looked extre
Jin PingEr like an elder sister, caressed Xiao Huan’s head lovingly, and then intentionally or unintentionally glanced up at the sky and said, ”Xiao Huan sister, actually I carandfather a few questions”
Xiao Huan, Zhou YiXian including Wild Dog were all surprised
Jin PingEr indifferently spoke to Zhou YiXian, ”Regarding the Southern border human fish tribe, I still have a few more questions to consult you!”
Zhou YiXian was speechless and frowned, Jin PingEr’s eyes instead before she started asking, again briefly glanced up towards the horizon
High up within the white clouds, an indistinct light traversing in the clouds, heading towards the south
