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

"Shu Baimei, come with me."

A voice descended from the sky and clearly reached the ears of a woman in white in a dilapidated temple. The sizzling, oily pheasant she was roasting emitted an enticing aroma.

When Shu Baimei was still one of the "Five Eccentrics," known as Fairy Inviting the Moon, she often roamed the martial arts world, enduring wind and rain, and honed her excellent skills in roasting meat.

So roasting chicken in dilapidated temples, roasting pigs in barren mountains, and roasting fish by the river were things we did frequently.

She also has a restless nature and likes to stir up trouble, even back when she was at Peach Blossom Temple in Linbin Town.

They didn't even spare their own corpse buried in the peach blossom grove.

So after reminiscing about her past, she began wandering the world again.

The martial arts world of this world is different from the one she experienced when she was one of the Five Eccentrics.

Wandering in this world, you'll encounter not only chivalrous heroes and martial arts figures, but also sect rivalries and occasional highway robbery by a demon.

When I came to this dilapidated temple today, the broken statues in the temple had actually come to life and even released an illusion array, attempting to lure Shu Baimei into a trap and then forcibly marry her as his temple mistress.

Then Shu Baimei drew her sword.

Then the statue's head is now placed under Shu Baimei's buttocks, serving as a stool.

A bonfire was lit inside the dilapidated temple.

Then a pheasant rushed in, threw itself into the fire and committed suicide. Shu Baimei pierced it with her longsword, put it on the fire and made it into a roasted pheasant, which gave off a tantalizing aroma.

Then, while Shu Baimei was happily eating roasted pheasant, she heard that voice coming from the sky.

"Shu Baimei, come with me!"

You suddenly said that in the middle of the night.

Shu Baimei immediately jumped up, rushed outside the dilapidated temple, and shouted at the sky: "Which blind bastard is it, a ghost or a demon trying to take your life? Come on, if I don't poke eighteen or nineteen holes in you, I'm a coward! Come out—"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a woman in a white dress suddenly descended from the sky.

Shu Baimei was about to yell and curse.

"So it was you, you little devil... Little Flower?"

Lu Xiaohua landed, nodded slightly, and smiled.

"aunt?"

Lu Xiaohua smiled and reached out to grasp Shu Baimei's hand, saying, "In this chaotic universe, it's fate that we two ended up here. Come with me to see Old Zhang."

"Ow—"

Suddenly, Shu Baimei opened her arms and hugged Lu Xiaohua tightly, bursting into tears.

Although she had arrived in this world and found Zhang Zhengdao, she still missed the sisters at Peach Blossom Temple in Linbin Town; that was the world she knew.

How could I not be excited to suddenly see Lu Xiaohua now?

Isn't this just like fellow villagers meeting?

Lu Xiaohua patted her shoulder and laughed, "Alright, alright, our Taoist priest is studying the Chaos Tree right now. Maybe he'll be able to take us back to Peach Blossom Temple soon."

Shu Baimei said, not really meaning it, "I'm going to see that vixen Hu Yunying again. I get angry just thinking about her."

Lu Xiaohua smiled without saying a word.

When they brought Shu Baimei back to the inn, it was still dark.

They arranged a room for her to sleep in.

The next day, when Zhang Zhengdao was not found, he asked the six ghosts who were cultivating in the courtyard. The six ghosts replied, "He's in the gourd."

Inside the gourd?

It was naturally Zhang Zhengdao's purple-gold gourd.

Lu Xiaohua and Shu Baimei went to Zhang Zhengdao's room and, sure enough, saw the purple-gold gourd hanging above the bed. They took it down, uncorked it, and took a look.

Before they could even see what was happening, they were pulled in by a powerful force, turned into two beams of light, and flew into the gourd. The stopper of the purple-gold gourd then automatically closed.

Blue sky, white clouds, lake, grassland, distant mountains, birds...

Isn't the world inside the gourd the same as the world outside the gourd?

This is the first time Lu Xiaohua and Shu Baimei have entered this world.

It's huge, this world inside the pot.

Lu Xiaohua and Shu Baimei stood there, no longer looking for Zhang Zhengdao and Fairy Zixia, but instead carefully experiencing the world within the pot.

"This place feels like a fairyland!"

Lu Xiaohua's understanding of the fairyland is definitely much greater than Shu Baimei's.

Shu Baimei had only ever experienced the ordinary atmosphere of Linbin Town.

"wonderland?"

Shu Baimei asked in surprise.

But she could also sense that this world was definitely different from the world outside.

Lu Xiaohua nodded: "The water here originally came from Qixian Lake in our world, and it was directly transported here. The flowers, plants, birds and beasts here all came from there."

"How do you know so clearly?"

Shu Baimei asked.

As for Lu Xiaohua's past, only Zhang Zhengdao probably knows a little bit about it; apart from him, no one else knows anything about her past.

"Because I once lived at Qixian Lake!"

In the past, people in the martial arts world kept Qixian Lake a closely guarded secret, and Qixian Lake was also known for its mystery and unpredictability. Many rumors and even myths were associated with Qixian Lake.

Shu Baimei continued, "Why did you call it a fairyland? Is Qixian Lake also a fairyland?"

Lu Xiaohua nodded: "Yes, Qixian Lake is a lost paradise."

Shu Baimei nodded in realization: "I see. It seems this place and Qixian Lake are almost like paradise. I never thought I would have a day in paradise..."

Lu Xiaohua shook her head and said with emotion, "This place does indeed originate from Qixian Lake, but it's even purer than Qixian Lake. This... is even better than a fairyland..."

After saying this, she suddenly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the subtle differences and changes that the world inside the pot brought her.

It felt like every pore on my body had been opened up.

Every inch of my skin felt like it was communicating with the air here.

It felt as if the gentle breeze brushing against my skin could penetrate into my heart, making my mind clearer, as if I had entered a mysterious and chaotic world.

My husband is really something else!

Such a world within a teapot can be created.

"Should we go find them?" Shu Baimei turned to ask Lu Xiaohua.

Shu Baimei is still not destined for greatness!

She was the first female ghost to take root in Peach Blossom Temple, and one of Zhang Zhengdao's direct descendants. She was a veteran of Peach Blossom Temple, a woman with considerable seniority who had even received kind words of comfort from the temple master.

Look at the tone of your voice now.

Everything revolves around Lu Xiaohua.

This can't really be blamed on Shu Baimei.

After all, Shu Baimei was previously just a wild and unruly woman wandering the martial arts world, and she was even included in the list of the "Five Eccentrics." You have to understand that although this title sounds impressive, it's the title of a villain.

The more famous a name is, the worse its reputation is.

There were even rumors circulating in the martial arts world that Shu Baimei got into the "Five Eccentrics" by throwing herself at men, rather than by relying on her own abilities.

Moreover, Shu Baimei had never received a proper education.

Not to mention she hadn't read any classical texts or historical records, so she only had a rough, uncultured spirit and lacked a broader perspective. This already determined that her vision wouldn't be very grand!

Now that we see her, she seems to come from a prestigious family, has read many books, and her lineage is likely that of Lu Xiaohua from the Immortal Realm. Yet, she still feels inferior.

Feeling ashamed of my appearance, my IQ also dropped accordingly.

Therefore, he unconsciously elevated Lu Xiaohua's image to a high level, to the point that he felt she was better than him in every way, and that he should prioritize her.

Lu Xiaohua smiled faintly: "Go ahead, they should be in that mountain."

I followed their gaze.

In the distance, towering mountains rose up, creating the illusion that they were even higher than the Kunlun Mountains where Qixian Lake was located. Moreover, the mountains did not appear to be covered in snow, but rather lush and green.

"go!"

Lu Xiaohua held Shu Baimei's hand, and the two of them exerted their strength together.

In no time, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Let's go in and find them!"

Lu Xiaohua and Shu Baimei took a step and were already in the dense forest.

There are no roads here, only huge trees connected together, blocking out the sun, a chilling aura, and huge birds constantly flying overhead.

Zhang Zhengdao and Fairy Zixia had already reached the mountainside of another mountain.

They were standing on a rock protruding from a cave halfway up the mountain, from which they could see the entire valley.

"what--"

Zixia Fairy raised both hands in a megaphone shape and shouted loudly towards the valley.

The valley echoed.

"what--"

Her voice was sweet and clear, echoing continuously, making Fairy Zixia very happy, as if she were experiencing a free and unrestrained feeling.

"I wish I could live here forever."

Zixia was filled with anticipation.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

When women make wishes, just listen and don't take them too seriously.

If Zixia were to stay here for an extended period, she would surely go crazy.
