A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

Fairy Zixia felt that death was not a big deal.

Death is merely the beginning of a cycle.

This is a problem that arises from practicing Buddhism.

However, in the end, Fairy Zixia did not drink the wine because Zhang Zhengdao refused to give it to her. This was also because Fairy Zixia didn't have two taels of silver on her person.

Want to drink when you have no money? What are you thinking?

Zhang Zhengdao was only willing to give her a leg of dog meat because she was the one who killed the dog.

High-end ingredients often require only simple cooking methods.

Two large pots were prepared, and when they were brought out, steaming hot, the aroma made Fairy Zixia's mouth water. In all her years wandering the martial world, she had rarely tasted such delicious food.

Zhang Zhengdao said "please," picked up his chopsticks, and poked at the fattest piece of meat.

Zixia Fairy didn't stand on ceremony either, wielding her chopsticks with incredible speed.

After all, it was the Celestial Hound, and after half a pot of it, Fairy Zixia's injuries began to heal. Even an ordinary dog ​​would be quite nourishing.

Not to mention the Celestial Hound.

Zhang Zhengdao found an inn, booked two rooms, and took away the leftover pot of meat.

At night, the weather in this desert area is very cold, but the moon is very full.

On the roof of the inn, two shadowy figures were peeking around when they lifted the tiles from the roof of Fairy Zixia's room. The sound of rushing water came from inside.

"Brother, this woman is taking a bath," a thin shadow said to a large shadow.

Big Shadow yelled, "How can she take a bath when you're yelling so loudly?"

The thin figure nodded: "Big brother, you're right!"

“What we need to do is steal her bell. Now is the time. You will enter through the window later…”

"boom--"

The roof collapsed.

Two loud "bangs!"

The room was full of dust. Two figures got up, spitting out dust.

"Brother, didn't you tell us to go through the window? Why did you collapse the roof?"

Fat Shadow: "Did I think you did this?"

The thin shadow said, "It's definitely not mine. I always listen to my older brother."

Could it be...

The two turned around and saw Fairy Zixia in a green gauze dress, carrying a sword, looking at them with a grin as if they were two fools.

The thin shadow couldn't believe his eyes and turned to look at the fat shadow: "Wait... Big brother, did you just say that Fairy Zixia was taking a bath?"

The chubby shadow was also confused: "Can't I take a shower while dressed?"

Thin Shadow: "Should we still steal the bell?"

Fat Shadow: "Stealing in front of someone isn't stealing, it's robbery!"

Thin Shadow: "Then let's rob it!"

A beam of light, reflecting the moonlight, streaked towards Fairy Zixia.

Zixia Fairy tilted her head slightly, and the light fell on the bed in the room, instantly cutting the bed neatly in two before it collapsed with a crash.

"choke--"

The purple and green sword was drawn, and its light touched the forehead of the thin figure.

The longsword pierced through the thin figure's forehead without hesitation.

The shadow is a real shadow.

However, the sword light emitted by the shadow was real. When the sword missed its target, the sword light emitted by the fat shadow's large sword grazed past Fairy Zixia's body.

The wind from the blade caused a strand of Fairy Zixia's hair to fall through the air.

"call--"

Zixia Fairy had already taken to the air, walking on the void. As she floated in the air, she dodged two flashes of sword light, which grazed past her and disappeared into the night sky.

Everyone in the inn was awake.

They stared in astonishment at the two shadows in the sky and a woman who looked like a fairy. The woman, caught between the shadows, became ethereal, like a fairy dancing in mid-air.

It turns out that if a woman is very beautiful, even when she's fighting, it's still a beautiful sight.

"it is good--"

There were even some clueless people clapping and cheering below.

The innkeeper was trembling all over, whether from fear or from feeling that his loss was too great, that his perfectly good roof had been destroyed.

Zhang Zhengdao comforted his boss.

"These two shadows are the incarnations of demons, harassing your female customers under the cover of night. If a female customer is injured, they will try to extort money from you. Even if you take it to the authorities, you will still have to pay compensation."

The boss was shaking, and his teeth were chattering as he spoke, making a "clucking" sound.

"I...I...hehehe..."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Slow down, speak slowly."

Boss: "I'll slowly... giggle... say it... sob sob sob..."

Unable to speak, I simply cried; it was actually quite smooth for me to cry.

Zhang Zhengdao sighed, placed a silver ingot on the shopkeeper's counter, and then stood on the street with everyone, looking up at the two figures in the sky fighting against Fairy Zixia.

"Master Daoist, it's great to see you again!"

Suddenly, someone next to Zhang Zhengdao said excitedly.

Zhang Zhengdao turned his head and saw that it was Wu Mingwei, the guard commander he had saved. Wu Mingwei seemed very excited to see him and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Nice to meet you! Let's all watch together!"

Wu Mingwei bowed again and said, "Yes, Daoist Master." Then he looked up at the battle in the sky.

Under the moonlight, the battle in the sky was clearly visible. The shadows were elusive. Fairy Zixia was highly skilled in magic. Relying on the fact that the ethereal shadows were unharmed, the three of them were actually fighting back and forth.

Wu Mingwei sighed, "If there's no way to break this spell, that young lady will probably still lose in the end. I just don't know what kind of evil magic it is, that she can actually transform into a shadow..."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "There is a connection between the shadow and the real body. One is puppetry, but this technique controls puppets, not shadows. There is also a shadow-splitting technique, which can split one's vital energy into two, three... These clones exist in the form of energy, so they can also be called shadows. If you want to break this shadow-splitting technique, it is actually quite simple..."

The sound was clearly audible. The two shadows in the sky heard it and became somewhat anxious. The thinner shadow used the momentum to float to the side and shouted down.

"You Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense. If you're wrong, you'll be harming Fairy Zixia..."

The fat shadow cursed, "Aren't we here to harm Fairy Zixia?"

The thin figure quickly said, "Brother, that Taoist priest is about to expose our magic! If he reveals our secrets, this woman will kill us..."

The chubby shadow nodded, floated to the side to dodge Zixia Fairy's sword, and said, "That makes sense."

“Wuna Daoist…”

“Uni Ma—”

Zhang Zhengdao cursed, then turned around, took a rotten egg from an old woman's basket, and threw it into the air while cursing.

The rotten egg was about to smash into the faces of the two shadows when it suddenly exploded in mid-air.

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound.

The rotten egg yolk and slime scattered and stuck to the two shadows. The two shadows suddenly paused, and then one of them was pierced by a sword.

"Oh!"

After the shadow was pierced this time, a liquid suddenly flowed out.

"Big brother-"

The thin figure touched the spot where the liquid was flowing out with a startled hand; it was red.

"I'm bleeding!"

"Ah... Oops!"

When the fat shadow was surprised, his figure faltered for a moment, and he was pierced through by a sword.

He then touched a hand full of warm, red liquid.

"Oh dear... I'm bleeding too."

Then the two shadows suddenly and slowly disappeared into the night sky.

As Zixia Fairy watched the shadows disappear in the sky, she sheathed her longsword and lightly landed on the ground. The crowd of onlookers scattered with a roar.

"I've seen fairies!"

The Wuming Guards bowed to Zixia with their hands clasped.

Zixia Fairy looked at Zhang Zhengdao.

Zhang Zhengdao said, "It's just a chance encounter, a brother I met by chance."

Zixia Fairy nodded, which was considered a greeting, but she looked at Zhang Zhengdao with some suspicion.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Zhengdao asked Wu Mingwei.

Wu Mingwei, being sensible, immediately bowed and took his leave.

Zhang Zhengdao then looked at Fairy Zixia and said, "Why didn't you let those two shadows draw their swords just now? You could have had this Wuming Guard too!"

Fairy Zixia suddenly smiled: "Does it matter whether you draw your sword or not? I find the Taoist priest very interesting. Why don't you... give it a try?"

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned. Again? Didn't she make him try it once during the day? Was this woman still not giving up?

Fairy Zixia laughed loudly: "What's wrong? Little Taoist priest, you don't dare to do it? Haha... What's drawing a sword? As long as I have my eye on something, I will get it no matter what. If I don't like it, I can kill it with one sword."

Zhang Zhengdao felt that this woman really had a dual personality, one during the day and one at night: "I'm leaving, don't follow me."

After saying that, he took a step forward and disappeared.

Zixia Fairy is indeed very beautiful, but I don't know her well. I've seen many beautiful women, whether it's Lu Xiaohua from Linbin Town, or Hu Yunying, Guo Lanying, Shu Baimei, Zhu Jingyan, the Seventh Princess, Su Tang, and others from Peach Blossom Temple—they are all top-tier beauties, not to mention the Great Fairy and the Sixth Fairy from Journey to the West…

A small lamp wick before a tiny Buddha statue is beautiful, but too much trouble. How can the romantic entanglements of one beautiful woman compare to the carefree climbing and breaking of a whole forest?

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly thought of a problem: the Zixia during the day and the Zixia at night should not be the same person!

Holy crap, this woman... if I married her, she'd have a lot of lasting effects.
