I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 208 - 123 White Immortal Auntie, Lady Xu_2

Xu Qing’s face, which had always held a tinge of anger, slightly relaxed. Not far away, Xuan Yu, who had stood up for him, was tensed up, looking highly alert.

"This is a Galloping Immortal order that our Cat Immortal Hall has taken. Our Cat Immortal Hall will handle it with diligence. Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to thank me." Xu Qing also felt the oppressive aura from the Python Immortal, but he didn’t follow the other’s lead and accept the good person label the other tried to impose on him.

It’s hard to be a good person these days, and it’s hard to be a good immortal too.

The White Immortal silently paused for a moment, then, accompanied by thick fog, disappeared into the forest.

Before leaving, a voice came that held no discernible emotion:

"I cultivate in the Hundred Herbs Cave of Moonlight Mountain. If you have free time in the future, Fellow Daoist, feel free to visit my White Immortal Hall as a guest."

The mountain wind blew, and the forest fog dissipated.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the trembling female ghost in his hand.

He released her neck and instead grabbed her hair, dragging her towards the stream.

When they saw Huang Laoshu and the crows of Chaotic Stone Mountain emerging from the forest, the other immortals exchanged glances and quietly followed along.

The female ghost alternated between pleading and cursing, but by the time Xu Qing dragged her to the stream, she could no longer control her fear.

"What do you intend to do to me?"

Seeing Xu Qing pile the sheepskins stripped from the villagers beside her, the female ghost began to tremble.

Borrowing Huang Laoshu’s pipe, Xu Qing ignited a piece of Yin-Burning Fire, and a hundred sheepskins started to burn.

Moments later, the shrill screams quieted to nothingness, but those stacked sheepskins were still not entirely burnt.

"Those who sow must also reap. What the shaver does to others, others will do to him." Xu Qing looked at the burning flames and suddenly said this.

Huang Laoshu caught the thrown pipe in mid-air and then turned back, saying, "Did you hear that? In the future, keep away from those crooked ways. As immortals, we must act like immortals."

The image of the female ghost still lingered before their eyes. The other immortals took it as a warning and nodded in agreement.

Huang Laoshu nodded with satisfaction, but when he turned back, Xu Qing and Xuan Yu were already gone.

...

The sun set in the west as the old tree and dusk crows appeared.

Xu Qing changed into his Treasure Robe with a twilight cape and arrived outside Huangping Village on his Five-Colored Steed.

After putting away the Five-Colored Steed, a black cat followed by his side, speaking in human tongue: "Xu Immortal Family, when do you plan to go in?"

"At nightfall." Xu Qing smiled lightly and said, "The evil entity of the Child-Giving Temple does not fear the dark, as its power is at its peak then."

"As immortals, we too do not fear the dark. At that time, we’ll see whose power is greater."

After speaking, Xu Qing raised his hand and whistled. The next moment, a black crow circling in the air descended.

"Xu Wazi, once you enter Huangping Village, walk ten miles inward, and you’ll reach the Child-Giving Temple. Are you sure about this?"

Xu Qing chuckled lightly, "They’re just rats hiding in dark corners. If they truly had skills, why would they need to harm others under the guise of child-giving?"

He might feel apprehensive towards righteous people, but if it’s the crooked path...

"Crow Elder, I need a favor from you."

"Just say it." The old crow remained straightforward.

Xu Qing took out the Wolf Hair Brush and drew a Bird Eye Talisman, sticking it on his forehead. Then, he pinched a spell and cast a mountain-moving technique on the old crow.

"This is the Bird’s Eye Technique. For half a day, whatever you see, Crow Elder, I can see through this method. When we go to the Child-Giving Temple, please act as a scout from the skies, to prevent any of those evildoers from escaping."

The black crow nodded, then curiously asked, "Why does the talisman brush you used have Huang Laoshu’s aura?"

"..."

Before Xu Qing could respond, Xuan Yu instinctively uttered, "Isn’t the brush made from yellow weasel tail fur? Hasn’t Crow Elder heard of that?"

The black crow suddenly realized, "No wonder Huang Laoshu’s tail is bald. I asked him about it before, and he said it’s molting season..."

Xu Qing was about to explain, but at the next moment, he heard the black crow say,

"So, he gave his molted fur to Xu Wazi."

"..."

Xu Qing silently withdrew his words.

Ravens are naturally noisy. Even if they gain sentience and can speak human words, they can’t change their talkative nature.

As dusk approached, it was not yet time to light the lamps.

The black crow perched on Xu Qing’s shoulder, chattering away.

"Xu Wazi, do you need some crow feathers? There are always some strewn around Chaotic Stone Mountain. If you want, I can keep an eye out for you..."

"By the way, Xu Wazi, at your age, are you married?"

"I remember a female Galloping Immortal disciple who looks quite nice. Since secular folks avoid galloping disciples, she’s in her twenties and not yet married. If you’re interested..."

Xu Qing responded intermittently to the black crow’s words. When the black crow on his shoulder and the black cat beside him completely blended into the night, he stopped talking.

"Crow Elder, thank you."

The black crow spread its wings and soared into the sky.

The Bird Eye Talisman on Xu Qing’s forehead glimmered. When he closed his eyes, his view shifted from the ground to the sky, where the scattered lights of Huangping Village were faintly visible.

Most village households were frugal, so the lights at night were not as dense as in Linhe.

But ten miles north of Huangping Village, there stood a brightly lit temple halfway up the mountain.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, and the aerial view disappeared, leaving only the winding country road extending into the night.

Beside him, Xuan Yu was looking up at him, lost in thought.

Xu Qing knew what Xuan Yu was thinking.

He took the Bird Eye Talisman off his forehead and placed it on the black cat’s head. freewebnσvel.cøm
