White Dew Is Frosty

Chapters8

After calming down with much difficulty, Chao Lu refused to let go of Mo Chen’s hand.

“Master... I’m worried... worried...”she stammered.

“What?”Mo Chen asked subconsciously.

“I’m worried about er-er...”if this was a demon born under the moonlight, then er-er would be in danger sooner or later. If the person controlling this thousand-year-old cultivation was hua qing, she felt even worse. “Let’s go to the mortal world, Master.”

She acted coquettishly, doing her best to act coquettishly.

Mo Chen was not willing to go to the mortal world, and he was even more unwilling to cause trouble.

Zhao Lu was not discouraged. She took out her trump card and used her round eyes to squint dangerously. “Master, let’s Go... to the mortal world.”

As soon as she said the last three words, Mo Chen nodded slightly.

He was not very willing to anger his disciple. If he lost his way one day, he would have to rely on his disciple to find him. So as long as it was not particularly troublesome, he was willing to do it.

The journey from the wilderness to the mortal world was not long. Under Chao Lu’s urging, Mo Chen lifted her up into his own smoke cloud and stood on Chao Lu’s shoulder. The two of them and the demonic beast rode on the wind and waves along the way.

The Green Bull Mountain was close at hand. Chao Lu’s heart beat wildly. After all, it was the place where she had stayed for ten years.

The smoke cloud rolled up and beside her was the Green Cloud Temple. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the still imposing face of the temple. She thought that senior brother Xinan should be the successor of the Temple Master of the Green Cloud Temple, who was already in a high position.

The melon field halfway up the mountain was no longer covered in weeds. Without her, this place would eventually be abandoned.

However, there was a awning that was still standing in the same place. She bit her lip and did not speak. She looked at the big flag with the words “Qingyun Temple”and felt a little melancholy.

“This good feng shui place has been destroyed alive by Taoist Master Green Bull.”It was rare for Mo Chen to make a comment.

Zhao Lu remembered that Mo Chen was a disciple of Qingyun Temple. She could not help but widen her eyes and ask, “Master, why is that?”

Mo Chen pursed his thin lips slightly and soon forced a smile. “I’m Not Talented. I’m the old ancestor of Qingyun Temple.”

“AH.”Zhao Lu covered her mouth.

“What’s Wrong?”

“Master, you’re both my master and my old ancestor.”Zhao lu tugged at his sleeve and jumped back and forth on the clouds. She seemed extremely happy. Even Xiaoxiao was knocked down from her shoulder and flew around the two of them in dissatisfaction.

“Doesn’t that mean that my former master has become my grand-disciple?”Chao Lu blinked and smiled quite heartily.

“Yes.”

“Th-that statue of God enshrined in Qingyun Temple is actually yours, Master?”Chao Lu quickly recalled the first time she went to Qingyun Temple and saw a statue that did not look like her master at all. It was a statue that looked like zhong kui with copper bells and big eyes, she could not help but ask a few more questions.

“It seems... to be?”Mo Chen’s face was slightly red.

“Master, you are amazing!”This was the first time Zhao Lu felt a sense of pride. How could she not be exceptionally excited to have so many disciples and grandchildren all of a sudden? She almost forgot why she had come to Green Bull Mountain this time.

Zhao Lu patted her face and finally remembered to show the way.

She slowly descended into a dense forest and her eyes fell on the two high mountain rocks. At present, her height was already at the same height as the mountain rocks, but her memory was still fresh. The figures of her and 221 jumping in the valley one after another were still flashing through her mind.

“Master, if Hua Qing bullies me, you have to protect me.”Chao Lu did not forget to remind him, using the squinting mode of her face.

Mo Chen nodded. His disciple was indeed not very useful, so he quickly thought of a way to open her spiritual intelligence.

The two of them crossed the mountain rocks, and the mansion... was right in front of them.

She suddenly thought of the beautiful flower scene. Under the moonlight, the man was standing on a tree. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his face was as smooth as jade. His eyes were like lacquer, and he looked like the rising sun, as pure as the Willows of the Spring Moon. There was a smile on his lips, and he looked incredibly charming.

He was very beautiful, so beautiful that he looked like a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world. However, there was a dangerous gleam in the corner of his eyes.

She seemed to be able to see that the moment he sucked someone’s blood essence, a trace of blood slid down from the corner of his mouth. It slid down his lips, into his white clothes, and then fell on his snow-white neck. It was like peach blossom petals that were gradually blooming, dripping with demonic red drops.

Such a beautiful person shouldn’t have turned into that... Monster’s appearance, right...

She was worried. Such a beautiful person... could he be the culprit who controlled that monster?

“Master, that’s before the flowers and under the Moon.”Chao lu pointed at the “Before the flowers and under the moon”that she had once destroyed. It was now brand new and she sighed. Hua Qing was indeed a rich man.

Before the flowers and under the moon, it was still dark under the sunlight. Because of the strange monster that had once appeared, it was eerie in the silence.

Mo Chen looked at this secular mansion and frowned slightly, saying, “Lu'er, you go in first.”

Zhao Lu looked up in a panic and looked at her master in disbelief, “Master, you said you want me to go in alone?”

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, “Don’t tell me you want me to guard you for the rest of Your Life?”

Zhao Lu thought, actually... that’s not bad, but she still shouted, “But master, what if it’s still that ferocious monster?”

“I’ll only save you when you’re in the most danger.”Mo Chen smiled. It was a very bewitching smile. Zhao Lu could not help but nod her head. She moved her feet, grabbed her blazing sword, and went forward.

Mo Chen slowly disappeared. She really could not see him from where he was. Xiaoxiao flapped her wings and followed him. She made a “Chirp”sound and was slapped on the head by Zhao Lu. She did not dare to make another sound.

In fact, it was okay for her to chirp a few times. There was nothing wrong with having a little white eagle in the forest. The problem was that Zhao Lu was very nervous and could not help but add some excitement to Xiaoxiao.

The entire house was quiet and the door was locked.

Zhao Lu waved at Xiaoxiao and the man and the Beast secretly jumped into the wall.

Zhao Lu had some impression of this place. She knew that Hua Qing’s room was in the deepest part of the courtyard and she did not have the courage to go there. If a group of monsters from yesterday came out of the room, she would probably immediately ask her master for help.

She was so anxious that even the sound of a stray cat stepping on the wall gave her a fright.

Maybe... She should go to er-er’s room first. With this thought in mind, she made a gesture to Xiaoxiao, who flapped her wings and took the lead to fly into the second courtyard.

Only after Xiaoxiao called out from inside did Chao Lu feel relieved. She swaggered in through the heavy door.

On this corridor, there used to be a group of women who looked like red flowers and green willows clustered together. Although they were demons, they also looked like immortals. Each and every one of them had fair skin and jade bones, which made Chao Lu jealous five years ago. Although now that she thought about it, she still felt a little... jealous.

It was still an empty courtyard. The paths intersected with each other, and strange stones were scattered everywhere. The flowers and trees were a little withered, and their leaves were yellow. The Treasures, roses, peonies, and hydrangeas that used to be there had all returned to their buds and drooped listlessly by the Courtyard Wall The water stream flowed under the flowers, but the water flow was small and there were no ripples. The white jade arch bridge with hundreds of flowers wrapped around the clouds was slightly stained with dust.

Under the moonlight in front of the flowers... it seemed that it had been a long time since she had seen its owner.

Zhao Lu felt very strange, so she quickly stepped into the backyard. There was a room in the backyard.

The room was very close, and Zhao Lu was very nervous. She wished so much that she could stand where she was, and then the young man, who was similar in height to her, would push open the door and walk out.

Then, he would look at her with his bright eyes and say, “I said that I wanted to cultivate to the heavens, but you came first.”

Unfortunately, this was a little unrealistic.

There was no movement at the door. A fallen leaf slowly fell from the big tree in the courtyard and gently landed in Chao Lu’s palm. Finally, it made her nervous.

In one go, she walked closer and pushed the door open.

There was no expected reunion between the two of them, no sudden appearance of the monster that she had imagined... the whole place was deathly silent under the moon and flowers, making her feel anxious.

There was yellowing grass paper everywhere in er Er’s room. Every chapter of the paper was written in the handwriting he left behind when he practiced talisman drawing in his early years. The bed was clean and tidy. This habit was exactly the same as that of his amorous master. There was no dust in the room even though it had been five years.

Zhao Lu slowly stroked the table with her hand. Finally, she saw a tattered book under a pile of paper. The name of the book could hardly be seen, but there were some neatly copied small regular script.

These words were not er ER’s handwriting. What he wrote was like a ghost character that made people depressed.

“Mortal heart... Emperor’s soul... Supreme Love... ?”Zhao Lu could not read the small words at the back. She read it painfully and could not help but frown. She stuffed the book into her arms.

As soon as she moved, she heard the voices of several people outside.

“Senior brother, do you think the women that master asked us to guard are really demons?”

“How Can Master Be Wrong?”

“Master is right, but... I always feel that... they are very pitiful...”

“Nonsense, if you continue like this, you will be punished by master again!”

Zhao Lu’s mind ran through the conversation and suddenly realized that the fairies like auntie sour plum had probably been captured by Taoist Master Green Bull’s men.

Without thinking, she cast a wall-evading spell and disappeared from 22’s room, following them silently.

Xiaoxiao was about to COO, but was forced back by her gaze. Her beady eyes looked aggrieved as she retracted her wings and landed on her shoulder. Chao Lu took a quick step and stuck closely behind the two Taoist children who had just passed by the room.

The Taoist priest was dressed in white and walked unhurriedly in front. He did not feel that there was someone following behind him at all.

Although they were both cultivating, following an immortal in the sky and following an old Taoist priest on the ground were of different levels.

Moreover, this immortal was the founder of Qingyun Temple.

Chao Lu saw them turn a few corners and walk towards Hua Qing’s room.

She was slightly surprised and followed them. When the door opened, the two Taoist priests exclaimed again.

“Why do you think this fairy knows how to enjoy herself so much?”

Hua Qing’s room was indeed the most gorgeous, tidiest, and clearest room Chao Lu had ever seen. Every corner showed that the master was a person who loved white and was also a narcissist.

The bronze mirror arranged in the four corners almost gave herself away. She was slightly shocked and quickly took a few steps back, hiding behind the white gauze curtain.

“Two years ago, I heard that there was an extremely beautiful pool in this house that could be used for bathing. Unfortunately, master destroyed it all in a fit of anger. Otherwise, we would be blessed today,”a white-robed Daoist said.

The other one disagreed. “Even if there was, how could we be greedy for a moment’s need?”

The Daoist clicked his tongue and did not reply. On the other hand, the other person was becoming more and more familiar to Zhao Lu.

She almost blurted out, “Senior brother Xinan.”

However, she saw that the once high-spirited him did not have the green dragon-patterned treasured sword on his back.

Perhaps... her senses were wrong.

Therefore, when she saw the two Taoist priests pass through the white jade ball embossed with the image of a phoenix, she also followed them.

One of the Taoist priests in front twisted the large vase that had fallen to the ground, and a tunnel gradually appeared. Chao Lu hurriedly quickened her pace and flashed in.

The tunnel was a little dark. The two Taoist priests in white walked all the way down and finally entered a bright big room.

In this room, Jiao Chaolu sucked in a breath of cold air. She stopped at the corner of the stairs and stuck her head out.

Not all the girls who appeared in the corridor were there, but Aunt Sour Plum was among the group of girls with a Haggard face. Their hands were locked in copper chains, and the copper chains emitted a faint blue light.

As soon as they moved, the blue light would flash, and their incomparably beautiful faces would freeze in pain.

The Taoist priest took a step forward, and the group of women huddled together in fear.

“Which one of you will do it?”The Annoying Taoist priest finally opened his mouth, completely ignoring their weakness.

The women were speechless for a moment. Finally, one of them said faintly, tiredly, and full of despair, “I’ll do it.”

“Sister Mei'er...”

“Sister Mei'er, don’t...”

Ignoring the women’s pleas for her to stay, aunt sour plum stood up shakily. Every time she moved, her face turned paler.

She said, “It’s been a year, and we’ve seen fewer and fewer people... we’ll be finished sooner or later. It’s better to leave earlier.”

The coquettish woman in red shouted fiercely at the Taoist priest, “No matter how vicious I, Mei Xin, AM, I’m not as vicious as that old Taoist Green Bull.”

“You’re still so stubborn.”The Taoist priest took out a bronze mirror from his chest and held it towards aunt sour plum.

“Ah...”a shrill cry came out of Aunt Sour Plum’s mouth. Her delicate face suddenly changed. In a short moment, her black hair turned white. Her face was ferocious, and blood gushed out from all parts of her body, it was a living image of Hell on Earth.

Chao Lu and Xiaoxiao finally could not help but rush out. “Stop!”

A small green jade flower shot out of her hand and shattered the bronze mirror in the Daoist’s hand. The two Daoists turned around in a panic and shouted at the same time, “Who is it?”

“Lu'er.”

“Senior brother Xin an?”

Xin An, who had been standing quietly at the side without making a move, called out to Chao Lu without the slightest hesitation. However, Chao Lu took a step back. She did not dare to imagine that in the next five years, the sword-wielding youth whose eyes were as bright as stars.., and whose smile was as bright as the clear sky... would turn into the person before her eyes.

Other than growing up, there was no change in his appearance. He was still as handsome as ever. However, he was clearly no longer the high-spirited senior brother Xin an who hated evil like an enemy.

“Lu'er, it’s really you!”Xin an instantly put on a smile and walked towards Zhao Lu.

“It’s me, but you’re no longer you.”Zhao Lu was sad. These words caused Xin an to freeze on the spot, and his face turned very ugly.

Xin An, who had once been favored by priest Green Bull, had been seriously injured and almost died after he rescued Zhao Lu.

Priest Green Bull did not let Mo Chen consume the pills that Mo Chen had thrown down from the sky. Instead, he kept them for himself. He said that they belonged to the founding master, so how could he give them to others as he pleased.

Even if it was a disciple that he was close to and doted on, priest Green Bull was still thinking about his own future. If one day he got sick or seriously injured, he would have to rely on the grandmaster’s Panaceas to survive.

Therefore, although Xinan had managed to survive, he had become a mediocre person. The pain of his blocked meridians often made it impossible for him to continue his cultivation in peace.

His temperament was incompatible, and his cultivation was slow. Taoist master green bull finally gave up on Xinan completely.

Three years ago, his identity as a sword-wielding disciple was removed, and he experienced a painful torture that he could no longer remember. It was replaced by his new junior brother, changge.

Xinan’s lips trembled a few times, and he smiled bitterly. “Lu'er, you’re right.”

“It’s hard to disobey a master’s orders. Why bother explaining to this wild girl?”The priest next to him muttered, and a fire talisman was launched at Chao Lu.

“Lu'er, be careful.”In Xin An’s heart, Chao Lu would always be the weak little girl from fifteen years ago. She would also always be the little girl who was often bullied five years ago.

Even after five years, he could see at a glance that she was the little girl who had returned with his sincerity.

Therefore, he subconsciously reached out his hand to block the fire talisman.

Chao Lu was shocked. She still remembered that Xin an had been severely injured by Hua Qing in order to save her. Therefore, when they first met, she should have been happy, but after seeing what they had done, she was disappointed.

The blazing sword circled in her hand, and a sword light slashed at the fire talisman.

Xiao Xiao made a few gurgling sounds, and the Taoist priest’s expression suddenly changed. “Evildoers, you are indeed evildoers.”

The Heavenly Eye? Why was senior brother Xinan’s heavenly eye on this Taoist priest?

Senior Brother Xinan had been proud of the heavenly eye since he was a child. At that time, when Taoist priest Qingniu heard that Xinan had a pair of eyes that could see everything in the world and even stroked his head, he gladly accepted him as a disciple.

She still remembered that senior brother Xinan had proudly pointed behind her and scared her. “Look, look, there’s something dirty behind you...”

However, he had always plausibly pasted countless talisman papers on the front and back of her little shabby house, telling her that he had already laid out a foolproof plan for her. Now, even ghosts could not enter.

In her shock, all kinds of thoughts welled up in Zhao Lu’s mind. She felt wronged on behalf of senior brother Xinan, she was full of questions and curiosity, and there was also a kind of anger that came from the bottom of her heart.

The Taoist priest shouted at Xin an, who had helped Chao Lu, “You dare to side with a Demon?”

Since she was young, Chao Lu had always been lenient. This time, she showed no mercy. A gust of wind blew under her feet, and a fire phoenix burned out of the sword. It leaped over Xin an, swallowed the fire of the fire talisman, and then burned it in front of the Taoist priest.

“Lu'er,”xin an called again.

Chao Lu’s sword was pointed at the tip of the Taoist priest’s nose. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. In an instant, a few strands of hair in his hair were burned off by the blazing sword.

Her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly. “Senior brother, tell me. I’m afraid I Won’t be able to stop.”

Xinan’s hands also trembled. He never thought that the girl who had been behind him since he was a child and needed his protection would now stand in front of him.

Her eyes narrowed, and she looked rather imposing.

“Lu'er, let changge go...”

As soon as Xin an spoke, the person who had been called Changge put his two fingers together, and a sword spell flew out from under his hand and stabbed straight at Zhao Lu’s waist. Before Xin an could recover from his shock, Xiao Xiao knocked his head over and steadily pushed Changge’s hand away.

“You’re courting death!”Zhao Lu understood that if she did not completely take down changge now, he would continue to pester her.

Therefore, she retreated repeatedly and dodged the sharp sword that almost pierced her waist. She chanted, and thirty-two fire talismans flew out from the blazing sword and suddenly wrapped around Chang Ge. However, they did not hurt him at all and only surrounded him tightly.

In the past, in order to practice this exact fire art, Xiao Xiao suffered so much that she was not burned into a hairless rooster. It took her many years to grow into the luxuriant state she was in now.

Therefore, when Xiaoxiao saw the thirty-two fire phoenixes acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy, she was so scared that she retracted her wings and hid behind Chao Lu.

“You, you...”Chang Ge panicked. He did not expect that this monster who could not see the situation clearly would be so powerful. Wrapped in this airtight fire, he was so scared that he trembled. Tears actually flowed from his eyes as he said shakily, “Senior brother... Save Me...”
