Chapter 64 Falling to Earth (7)
Chapter 64 Falling to Earth (7)
Long ago, Luo Zai Shui learned from Xie Yu that cultivators should not interfere too much in mortal affairs, otherwise they would be entangled in worldly affairs and unable to become immortals.
After that, Xie Jing asked her this question again: If a wicked mortal killed another mortal in front of you, would you intervene?
Her answer at that time was yes.
But Ji Yun gave her a different answer: I will save another mortal before that villain makes a move.
She remembered Xie Jing's expression at the time. He smiled and asked them, "If you are bound by worldly affairs because of this, are you willing?"
Ji Yun answered firmly, "I'm willing!"
Ji Yun once said that as a cultivator, she should take saving the world as her responsibility. If she watched someone commit heinous crimes in front of her, what kind of cultivator would she be, and what kind of immortal would she become?
Humans don't need immortals who don't save the world.
"Okay, okay!"
Xie Jing seemed very proud at that time. He smiled at his senior brother Ji and said, "This is our little Yun'er's path, senior brother, did you hear that?"
"Yes, I heard Yun'er's path to the common people."
Now, this problem is once again facing Luo Zai Shui.
She knew very well that this might involve many things, and that her cultivation might be damaged as a result, but she had to take action. That was her senior sister's path, and it was also the path she had chosen after many years.
She helped the man up and said softly, "I'll help you."
Shen Yan was somewhat incredulous. Liu San had never been kind to her family, and even to Luo Zai Shui. Why would she agree to help?
Luo Zai Shui didn't notice Shen Yan's expression. She took out her usual divination tool: "Do you know her birth date and time?"
"I know, I know!"
Several copper coins clinked together inside the tortoise shell, making a crisp sound. The sound struck Liu San's heart like a series of blows. He had tried every possible way to find the person, and now he could only place his hopes on ghosts and gods.
"Snapped--"
Three copper coins landed on the table, spun around a few times, and then came to a steady stop. Luo Zai Shui closed her eyes, placed her right index finger on the copper coin, and made a hand seal with her left hand. For a moment, everyone forgot to breathe.
She suddenly opened her eyes: "West of the city, a dilapidated temple."
Liu San couldn't believe she had come out, but he could only cling to his last hope and prepare to rush to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city.
"and many more--"
Luo Zai Shui suddenly called out to him.
Liu San then realized that he hadn't given her any money. Just as he reached for his waist, preparing to throw the money pouch to her, Luo Zai Shui caught up with him, carrying the Changhong Sword.
"I will go with you."
Although she calculated that the girl was not in any immediate danger, the divination seemed a bit strange, so she decided to go and see for herself.
Meng Tingde and Shen Yan exchanged a glance and had no choice but to follow.
By the time they arrived at the dilapidated temple in the west of the city, half an hour had passed. The sky was already shrouded in darkness, and the entire temple looked somewhat eerie.
Liu San didn't care about anything else, kicked open the door of the dilapidated temple, and rushed inside.
"Sister—Sister—"
After calling out several times without any response, Liu San looked at Luo Zai Shui, thinking that this person was playing a trick on him. Just as he was about to ask her for an explanation, a slight sound suddenly came from behind the statue.
"Who goes there!"
Luo Zai Shui thrust her sword forward, but was stopped by something. She quickly sheathed her sword, kicked the statue away, and couldn't see the person clearly. Luo Zai Shui instinctively chased after him. The temple was dark, and Luo Zai Shui couldn't see the person clearly. She could only rely on her hearing to judge the person's location.
After several exchanges, the man seemed to be running out of strength, and Luo Zai Shui placed a sword against his neck.
"Who are you?"
"Wait, wait!"
The slightly fierce aura vanished instantly, and Luo Zai Shui felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Luo Zai Shui?" the man tried calling her name. "Holy crap, is it really you? What are you doing here?"
Shen Yan held up a tinderbox, which provided some light. He saw Luo Zai Shui holding a sword to a person's neck. Although the person was dressed very richly, it was quite incongruous with his disheveled appearance.
Luo Zai Shui then sheathed her sword: "Young Master Qian, what are you doing here?"
Qian Kuo snorted coldly: "I should be asking you that. Shouldn't you be in the sect competition?"
Luo Zai Shui then remembered that this esteemed young master had not participated in the sect competition at all.
She sighed: "It was an accident. Now I can't go back. Do you know how to get back?"
Qian Kuo looked at her suspiciously: "How did you get here?"
Seeing that there were still mortals in the water, Luo could only try to gloss over the situation: "It's not something that can be explained in a short time. Tell me, how did you end up here? Oh right, have you seen a girl? She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and about this tall."
She gestured and felt that Qian Kuo should have met him before.
"Oh, you mean her?"
Qian Kuo clutched his chest and pulled back the curtain beneath the altar: "Is this the person you're looking for?"
"Sister!"
Liu San quickly carried the girl out: "Little sister, wake up! Don't scare your brother!"
Qian Kuo's ears hurt from the noise, so he had to move further away.
"What did you do to her?!"
Liu San suddenly glared fiercely at Qian Kuo, as if he wanted to devour him alive. Luo Zai Shui blocked Qian Kuo's path and looked at him: "What's going on?"
Qian Kuo rubbed his ears impatiently: "This is what happened after I rescued them. There were so many of them, and I lost several servants because of them."
Luo Zai Shui then noticed that Qian Kuo was still injured. She sighed and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's leave here first."
Qian Kuo was still a little worried: "I finally managed to shake off those people and am hiding here. They shouldn't come looking for me, right?"
Luo Zai Shui couldn't guarantee anything either: "It's not safe to stay here. Can you still walk? If not, I'll help you."
Qian Kuo waved his hand as if he had seen a living devil: "No need, I can do it."
Shen Yan and Meng Tingde, who had witnessed the entire process, were somewhat dumbfounded.
Meng Tingde nudged Shen Yan: "Is she really that good at fighting?"
Shen Yan was also dumbfounded: "She can really tell fortunes?!"
When the group arrived at the clinic, Qian Kuo's injuries were easy to treat; he lay down after the medicine was applied. Young Master Qian had probably never suffered so many injuries in his life. However, the doctor was somewhat at a loss as to what to do about Liu San's sister, Liu Lan.
"Do you have any communication talismans? Please send a message to my master and the others for me."
Qian Kuo searched his pockets for a long time before finally pulling out a communication talisman.
Luo Zai Shui frowned and sighed, "Please pass this on for me. I don't have any spiritual power right now."
Qian Kuo stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You can't use any spiritual power at all?"
Luo Zai Shui nodded, and Qian Kuo had no choice but to help deliver the message.
"Tell me, how did you get here?"
Qian Kuo found it somewhat amazing that this person had managed to live in the mortal realm for so long without any spiritual power.
Luo Zai Shui briefly explained what happened at the sect competition, and Qian Kuo fell into a brief silence.
He rolled over: "Luckily I didn't go."
Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, Luo Zai Shui quickly woke him up: "What about you? How did you get here?"
