Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 121 Meeting
Lian Gouqie moved a stool and sat at the door, turning his head to look outside from time to time.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, it is a clear autumn night.

The place where the young disciples lived was usually noisy at night, but today the lights in all the courtyards were turned off early, leaving only Wei Xi and Qin Feng's room still lit. The only sounds they could hear were the cat's snoring and the sound of the lights popping under the glass lampshade.

Lian Gouqie waited for a long time but there was no movement in the yard. He stood up suddenly. The general who was lying at his feet was woken up by him and hit him with his tail before going back to sleep.

"Sit down." Qin Feng was holding the freshly finished painting and looking at it. The moving technique was not difficult at all. The painting was only a dozen pages long.

"We've been following him for such a long time. Wei Xi, please don't get caught up in it. Otherwise, I'll be guilty of a great sin."

Qin Feng was quite surprised to see Lian Gouye so uneasy.

"What could possibly go wrong in the Qingcheng Sect? Wei Xi is much smarter than you."

Lian Gouqie had an expression that said, "Sister, do you want to listen to what you are saying?" She was usually the one who favored Wei Xi the most, but now she was as steady as a rock.

"...I agreed to it because I was so careless. I'm thankful she didn't kick me right there and then." Lian Gouyu scratched his head as he thought about it. "I didn't expect she actually agreed to it."

Qin Feng hadn't expected this, she had just given him some advice at the time.

"I'll go take a look." Before even Gou's butt touched the stool, he stood up again. "Those two people are not like you and me. They can be used by Wei Xi."

Before he could go out, a sound came from the yard.

After a while, Wei Xi pushed the door open and saw someone blocking the door. He waved his hand, signaling him to move aside.

"But have you figured out the trick?" Lian Gou asked impatiently.

Wei Xi put the extinguished torch back to its original place and held the drowsy Ling Yin in his arms. "There are many ways to do this. I really need to go to Zheng Xing's group tomorrow."

Qin Feng, who was studying how to carry the powder box, asked in confusion, "Isn't it a beast? Why is it so difficult?"

"Who knows? They'll go look it up in the books. I came up with an idea today. Let's see if it works tomorrow."

Wei Xi said so, and although the remaining two people were full of questions, they tacitly agreed to leave it until tomorrow.

The next day, they gathered at the hour of Mao again. I don't know how Zheng Xing talked to his senior sister, but the three of them easily switched to his team.

The sight of this field during the day was even more shocking; it looked more like a pig rolling around than a dog gnawing at it.

It can be seen that the people in charge of planting were not very skilled. The wheat was not regular, many of them were crooked, and the density was unreasonable.

"What does your family do?" Wei Xi couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Xing was counting heads when he heard Wei Xi ask this. He replied, "My family has some small fields, so they sent me to town to study."

Wei Xi understood, no wonder the land was planted like this.

The current state of the fields is not entirely the fault of the monks who are helping with the harvest. Their skills are really poor, and the harvest is definitely not neat when they cut along the ridges. Besides, not all monks are trained to harvest wheat.

Wei Xi practiced with the sickle twice and gave up the idea of cutting horizontally. Firstly, he needed to distract his attention on his feet, and secondly, the matter was done, and cutting the messy wheat horizontally would not save much money.

Lian Gouqie naturally followed Wei Xi. The two worked under the sun, hoping that a few clouds would pass by.

"You said you had thought of a solution, why did you change it?" Lian Gouqie took a break from his busy schedule and thought about what happened yesterday, so he asked quickly.

"There's not much land here," Wei Xi said, wrapping a bundle of wheat with local materials and throwing it behind for others to carry. "We can harvest less."

After saying that, Wei Xi ignored him and let him ask her questions with such a shameless attitude.

Finally, he said, "If you want to know, come over tonight and see it with your own eyes."

Lian Gouqie couldn't take her pulse, but he didn't realize that Wei Xi wanted to teach him a lesson, so he agreed without hesitation.

They continued like this until the sun went down, when everyone dispersed and only Zheng Xing, Wei Xi and the other three were left.

The four of them ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry and then waited for Wei Xi's instructions.

Wei Xi acted calmly when her life wasn't in danger. She pulled four half-full bags from her Qiankun bag. "Whatever's eating the wheat, our goal is to stop it," Wei Xi gestured for them to come and retrieve the bags. "If we can't use the Tracking Technique on it, then we'll find another way to use it."

Qin Feng was surprised that the pocket he got was slightly heavier than he thought. He opened the pocket and saw that it was half a bag of broken leaves.

"I added some slime from the turtles in the back mountains," Wei Xi explained. "Hu said it would be heavier when dry and would prevent the debris from blowing away."

Thanks to Elder Xian Hua for raising all kinds of strange things in order to refine magical instruments, and thanks to Hu Lai for being tortured to death by those two turtles, she was able to get this mucus.

"Are you planning on letting these crumbs get on that thing?"

"Exactly," Wei Xi glanced at Zheng Xing approvingly. "Sprinkle these on the outer circle. If this thing tries to get into the wheat field, some of it will stick to its fur."

"Forty-five acres of land," Qin Feng said, having used the Moving Technique today, and his condition was much better. "This may not be enough."

"Here's more," Wei Xi pulled out four more bags from his Qiankun bag. "The land here has been mostly mowed down. The focus is on the remaining areas."

"After we finish spreading the shredded leaves, the four of us will each guard a corner. It would be best if we could catch them in the act."

The four of them were quite agile and immediately spread out and started scattering chopped leaves around the wheat field.

After Wei Xi had scattered his two bags of leaves, he stayed in the nearest corner and observed his surroundings.

Apart from the cultivators of Qingcheng Sect, Yizhangyuan was rarely visited by anyone, so Wei Xi naturally did not worry that this thing would be used against someone by mistake.

The wheat-harvesting teams in the area Wei Xi could monitor had already harvested most of the wheat, which made it easier for her to hide.

During the day, Wei Xi was with the disciples of Qingcheng Sect. Although she didn't pay much attention to them, the surroundings were bustling.

At this moment, the hustle and bustle around faded away, leaving only the cold moon and this man-made creation. Wei Xi then realized that the world is vast and he is just a drop in the ocean.

This gave Wei Xi a rare shudder.

Wei Xi didn't want to look at the bright moon anymore and forced himself to pay attention only to the surroundings of the wheat field.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lingyin had already buried her head under her wings and fell asleep in her pocket.

Wei Xi couldn't help but be distracted.

Just then, a scream was heard from the south corner.

Wei Xi's attention was immediately focused, so he grabbed the torch and ran towards that place.

Wei Xi was the farthest away from that corner. She didn't go there to comfort people. She wanted to make sure that anything that alarmed them could not escape.

With this thought in mind, Wei Xi immediately locked onto the brown figure that was fleeing in panic.

Wei Xi ran straight towards the figure, and the man and the beast chased each other in the chopped wheat field.

Seeing that thing running very fast on all fours, Wei Xi cursed inwardly and then activated a spell to blast out several small fireballs.

Although Wei Xi's fireballs did not stop the beast, the beast's speed was indeed slowed down, allowing Wei Xi to catch up.

Wei Xi raised the torch and was about to hit it, but unexpectedly the thing turned around suddenly, and with the light of the torch, Wei Xi came face to face with it.

Lingyin's screams echoed throughout the wheat field.

Where the beast's facial features should be, it was actually the shape of several layers of butterfly wings with strange colors and huge eye spots. Gray powder and added debris were mixed on top, shaking and trembling.
