Chapter 229: The Other Side
Xiao Hua couldn't laugh or cry looking at the one in front of him who was not even on his "chest", with a childishness on his face and a trace of enthusiasm in his eyes, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Young fellow Daoist Cai is wrong, the person in the heart of Fellow Daoist Cai ..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Hua quickly shut up, Li Zongbao's matter is related to the face of the Bliss Sect, where can he say it? And... the matter of Li Zongbao and Cai Zhuoxia, with the passing of Cai Zhuoxia, has been wiped out, and I can't talk nonsense
"Huh? Isn't that fellow Daoist Xiao? Could it be that there are other handsome men?" Cai Mingxia wondered, blinking her big eyes.
"Him? It's just a casual cultivator. Even if the eldest lady is willing, the owner and the old man can't agree." Cai Mingsong curled his lips in disdain
"Uncle Ming Songzong, this matter of double cultivation is a matter of the eldest sister's direct lineage. How can I say more about the common lineage? I agree." Cai Mingxia is not a person, but she knows a lot, and she said to Cai Mingsong like an adult.
Xiao Hua next to him couldn't bear it, and quickly waved his hands: "Friend Cai Xiao, this is slim...I'm afraid it describes a female cultivator."
"Xiao Daoyou is so thin and tall, and you are really "yuli". Pindao thinks that you are more suitable for this slim figure than others," Cai Mingxia explained solemnly.
"This..." Xiao Hua opened his mouth speechless, not knowing what to say, at the moment when Xiao Hua was embarrassed, more than a dozen voices of piercing the sky sounded from the midair of the Cai Family Manor, and Xiao Hua saw that there were exactly a dozen Lian Young people with three or four layers of air, wearing the same clothes, flew out of the Cai family manor
"Brother Zong is here~ Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are doing a great job of saving face," Cai Mingxia said with a smile on her face.
The dozen or so disciples landed on the ground, lined up neatly in two rows, from Cai's gate to Xiao Hua's front, and then, "Zhila" sounded the door, Cai's gate door" is divided into two, and counting people from the inside
Xiao Hua squinted his eyes and looked, at present, a person with a tenth level of Qi Refining cultivation base is also thin and tall, with a square face, black and slightly dry face, several deep wrinkles show the vicissitudes of life of this person . This person's eyes were extremely bright, and his lips were slightly thinner, but they were tightly closed at this moment, showing a silent majesty.
Looking at the few people behind him, they are not too young, and most of their cultivation bases are at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Refining.
"I'm afraid it's...the head of the Cai family?" Xiao Hua thought to himself, walked quickly to the middle of the Cai family disciples standing on both sides, bowed and saluted: "Junior Xiao Hua, pay respects to Senior Cai"
"Free courtesy, free courtesy, poor Daoist Cai Haisong, thank fellow Taoist Xiao for bringing back the news about Zhuo Xia." Cai Haisong said with his face still unhappy, cupping his hands.
"Don't dare to be thankful, Pindao and Cai Daoyou met by chance, and got Cai Daoyou's help a lot, and sending her... the news back is exactly what I should" Xiao Hua said politely.
"Come on, these are the brothers of Pindao, and they are also the elders of Zhuo Xia. Fellow Daoist Xiao also get to know each other." Cai Haisong said, waved his hand, and introduced the people behind him to Xiao Hua. They were Cai Shansong and Cai Fengsong. , Cai Hesong et al.
After Xiao Hua finished seeing the ceremony one by one, he heard Cai Haisong say: "Please, fellow Daoist Xiao, I will wait for the hall to speak"
"Patriarch..." Seeing that Cai Haisong turned around and was about to walk in through the gate, Cai Mingsong said anxiously: "This Xiao Hua's origin is unknown, but he is a casual cultivator. The matter between him and the eldest lady... I don't know, if we enter through the Cai family's "door" now, wouldn't it be false? In the future... how will the young miss..."
"Huh?" Cai Haisong frowned slightly, and glanced at Cai Mingsong unhappily.
"Also, Patriarch, didn't Qing Yang's Cai family send the Cai family's new rules a long time ago? It's not the "gate" of life and death, it's not the "gate" of nobility. Can't the Cai family's "door" be easily opened to outsiders?"
"Ming Song... The Cai family in Luyang is the Cai family in Luyang. Why do you have to listen to the Cai family in Yangyang? Fellow Daoist Xiao brought the news about Zhuo Xia. She is a distinguished guest of my Cai family. I can't wait to open the door." ’Won’t it be rude to greet you?” Cai Shansong next to him said.
"Brother Shansong, younger brother, isn't this also for the sake of my Cai family in Luyang? Since you want to enshrine the Cai family in Qingyang, you have to follow the family's rules, otherwise the name is not right, how can it be the Cai family? "Cai Mingsong laughed and said: "If the Cai family of Qingyang knew about these things, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"
"Huh? What is this guy doing?" Xiao Hua looked at Cai Mingsong very puzzled, he obstructed himself again and again, but what hindered him was just through the gate, and it was not good for him. There is no harm. Besides, it is still in front of Cai Haisong, the head of the Cai family. Isn't this an insult to the face of the head of the Cai family?
"If this sect insists on asking Fellow Daoist Xiao to go the right way? Then Qingyang Cai's family will also blame me, Luyang's Cai's family?" Cai Haisong sneered.
"Oh, I forgot..." Xiao Hua suddenly remembered that he had killed Cai Yingxia, if he really walked through this gate, wouldn't it...will hurt Cai Haisong? Why bother?
"This is what the Patriarch has to consider. The little brother is just reminding the Patriarch to fulfill his duties as a housekeeper," Cai Mingsong said with a smile.
"Forget it, Senior Cai, this junior is just a casual cultivator, not a high-level cultivator, it's better to go through the corner door" Xiao Hua cupped his hands.
"No, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please come with the poor Taoist." Cai Haisong grabbed Xiao Hua's sleeve and walked towards the main door.
Seeing that he was about to reach the main "door", Xiao Hua suddenly asked: "Senior Cai, the "door" of Fei Xiangui is not open, it must be the high-ranking monks who want to "open" the main "door" when they visit, the difference between life and death What about the 'door'?"
"Oh, the "gate" of life and death means birth, old age, sickness and death...you can walk through the main "gate"" Cai Haisong frowned and explained.
"Alas~" Xiao Hua gently pulled his sleeves out of Cai Haisong's hands, and said with a wry smile: "The junior wanted to explain it to the seniors in the courtyard, but since the Cai family has family rules here, the poor will advance speak up"
"What??" Cai Haisong shouted with his heart skipping a beat, his eyebrows raised.
"Get out of the way, fellow daoists," Xiao Hua said, stepped back a few steps, clapped his hands, and grabbed Cai Zhuoxia's huge coffin from the storage bag, holding it lightly with one hand, very is solemnly placed on the ground
"This is..." Cai Fengsong said anxiously.
"Yes, this is Cai Zhuoxia Cai Daoyou's... coffin" Xiao Hua whispered loudly.
"Big Sister~~" Cai Mingxia shouted loudly behind everyone, her voice was already crying
"Fellow Daoist Xiao...are you kidding me?" Cai Haisong's face turned slightly pale.
Xiao Hua shook his head, and only used his eyes to look at the very rough coffin next to him
"Third Brother... Take a look" Cai Haisong said to Cai Hesong in a deep voice.
Cai Hesong walked up to the coffin, grabbed a corner of the coffin as soon as he stretched out his hand, and with a little force, the coffin was opened a crack, revealing Cai Zhuoxia's lifelike face inside.
"Alas~" Seeing that Cai Zhuoxia was obviously lifeless, Cai Hesong sighed and closed the coffin.
Seeing Cai Hesong's appearance, Cai Haisong's face was ashen, he waved his hands, and said loudly: "He Song, hurry up, go to the "shady" place in Yangding Mountain to get wicker, and use it for Zhuo Xia's soul-calling."
"Yes" Cai Hesong got up with grief and indignation on his face, wanting to fly.
Xiao Hua was taken aback, flicked his hand, took out the willow branch in the space, and asked: "Senior Cai, can this...willow branch be used?"
However, just when Xiao Hua took out the willow branches, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, no, in the space behind Xiao Hua's head, with light that traces the light, all the spirit grasses counted for a day At this time, many spiritual grasses are thousands of years old. This willow branch has been "inserted" in the space for many days, which is equivalent to decades or even hundreds of years in Xiaoyu Continent. Ordinary willow branches, there must be some changes, right? And this willow branch is exactly the same as what Xiao Huagang got at the bidding meeting in Yan Yuancheng
"Huh? Why did you bring a willow branch with you?" Cai Haisong asked curiously, "Could it be that he was with Zhuo Xia's coffin all the time?"
"Oh~ yes... yes" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned, and replied casually.
"Oh, that's the best way." Cai Haisong forced a smile and said, "Since we can stay with Zhuo Xia's coffin, then we can summon Zhuo Xia's soul He Song, no need to go, you guys go ahead and prepare...the mourning hall"
"Senior Cai...what's the matter with this willow branch?" Xiao Hua asked in a daze.
"Well, my Cai family has a rule. When a disciple dies in a foreign country, when the coffin returns to Cai's house, he must use willow branches to help call back the soul. I am afraid that the dead soul will be lost in a foreign country...and find no way back." Cai Hai Song looked gloomy, looked at Cai Zhuoxia's lifelike face and said.
"Well, this junior understands, but I don't know how to use it?" Xiao Hua asked.
Cai Haisong waved his hand and said: "Since this willow branch can be with Zhuo Xia's coffin, her soul must be nearby. You only need to wave it like this a few times, and then pat Zhuo Xia casually a few times. just download"
Then he looked at the distance, and said with some relief: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao is so predestined with Zhuo Xia that he actually carries a willow branch with him, maybe Zhuo Xia's soul is still alive, just summon it a few times."
Xiao Hua heard these unreasonable words, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Willow branches are ordinary willow branches, and people died far away. He came here with a teleportation array. How could any soul follow? But he still followed what Cai Haisong said, raised the willow branch in his hand, waved it on Cai Zhuoxia's coffin a few times, and then shook it on Cai Zhuoxia's body again
However, something unexpected happened, just when Xiao Hua waved the willow branch, a kind of life force in his space flowed out with the dancing of the willow branch, and on his willow branch, was A water drop the size of a mung bean, this water drop did not exist on the willow branch before, it is the result of inserting into the space in these dozens of days. When Xiao Hua shook the willow branch, the water drop slipped from the willow branch, flying in the air drew an arc, and landed directly between Cai Zhuoxia's eyebrows
There are even more weird things. In the extreme west of Xiaoyu Continent, in a boiling spring, a light and shadow that looks like a human being is not human, and its body is surrounded by colorful halos. The willow branches in Hua's hands danced, and when the power of life flowed, the light and shadow shot out from the spring water, the colorful halos swirled violently, and an emotionless cold voice sounded: "'The Other Shore'??? How is it possible? How could this thing be here??"
Before the words were finished, a pair of tens of feet long wings suddenly appeared in the colorful halo. The wings seemed to have multiple layers, but they were very transparent and could not be seen clearly. With a slight flap of the wings, the light and shadow moved forward rapidly. in a blink of an eye
"Is that so? Senior Cai" Xiao Hua turned his head and asked in Luyang's Cai family.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao, that's exactly the case," Cai Haisong nodded.
"You're welcome," Xiao Hua said, putting the willow branch into the space again, and "inserting" it in the original place
In the high sky in the extreme east, the light and shadow have already flown thousands of miles in just this moment, "Eh? Why...is there any breath of 'the other side'? Could it be that I feel wrong?"
Light and Shadow stopped, looked at Lu Yang's direction hesitantly, and then shook his head slightly after a while: "The aura of the 'other shore' is far from what the space magic of the cultivation world can cover up. Since it didn't exist before, how can it be possible now? Appeared? Besides...'The Other Shore' has long been destroyed by...it is impossible to appear in the realm of comprehension."
Immediately, the light and shadow turned around and flew back into the soup pool...
"Carry the coffin into the manor," Cai Haisong waved his hand and shouted loudly at Cai's house in Luyang.
"Yes" behind Xiao Hua, more than a dozen disciples of the Cai family had tears in their eyes, and they answered in unison, they walked forward, each reached out to hold a corner of the coffin, and carried the coffin into the main door
"Friend Daoist Xiao, please~" Cai Haisong was very polite at this time, and invited Xiao Hua to enter.
Xiao Hua glanced at Cai Mingsong who didn't seem to have turned around, and walked into the Cai family's manor.
The Cai family's manor is quite large, and they walked through the main gate for a while before entering the hall. At this time, many men and women in the manor got the news, and they all looked sad and hurried. come to
"Cai Daoyou, please have some tea." Everyone sat down in the hall, and Cai Haisong raised his hand.
"Thank you Senior Cai" Xiao Hua said politely, took a sip from the teacup.
Cai Hesong was a little anxious, without waiting for Xiao Hua to put down the teacup, he said: "Friend Daoist Xiao, Zhuo Xia... what's going on?"
The fall of Cai Zhuoxia mixed Feifengling and "Misty" Mountain, and the things in it were the secrets of the two families. In Xiao Hua's impression, "Misty" Mountain wanted to capture himself for the sake of secrecy, and if he took one of them It is really clear why the Cai family will inevitably be drawn into the whirlpool. Therefore, he has already thought clearly on the way, only talking about the two of them, and not mentioning anything else
Sure enough, Cai Haisong and the others frowned when they heard this, and stared at Xiao Hua with piercing eyes. Although Xiao Hua's words clearly explained the cause of Cai Zhuoxia's death, but...the place and the reason were not mentioned at all, how could this be possible? reassure them
"Fellow Daoist Xiao...seems like there's a lot I haven't said yet." Cai Mingsong asked next to him, "And... where's Missy's storage bag? Why isn't it inside the coffin?"
Xiao Hua sighed, looked at everyone's questioning gazes, and said in his heart: "Poverty Dao didn't want to tell you at first, just because Cai Zhuoxia, who was involved in this storage bag, made it clear that the contents of the storage bag must be handed over to you personally." Fairy Hongxia, there must be some reason, but Fairy Hongxia is in seclusion, I have to come, but this matter is a bit difficult."
Xiao Hua nodded and said: "Cai Daoyou's storage bag is in Pindao's sleeve"
"Well, then...Please return Daoist Xiao to my Cai family. Zhuo Xia's storage bag contains the yellow talisman passed down from my Cai family. My Cai family must take it back," Cai Shansong said anxiously.
Xiao Hua still nodded, and said: "The younger generation can return Cai Daoyou's coffin, and he must also return Cai Daoyou's storage bag to the Cai family..."
"Just what?" Cai Haifeng also wondered.
"It's just that Cai Daoyou ordered before he died that this storage bag should be handed over to Fairy Hongxia by Pindao himself..."
"It's nonsense!" Cai Mingsong jumped out in a hurry, and said: "This fellow said that he wanted to see the second lady before, but he said he wanted to see the Patriarch when he heard that the second lady was in seclusion. At this time, he has to give the storage bag to the second lady Miss, do you think the clues in the inside can't be seen by the poor?"
"Hmph~" Xiao Hua looked at Cai Mingsong coldly, without making excuses
"Ming Song" Cai Haisong scolded: "You step back and go out to take care of Zhuo Xia's funeral. If Fellow Daoist Xiao has a different intention, you don't have to think about it at all."
"I..." Cai Mingsong raised his neck, arched his hands, and walked out of the hall
