The two are close together.
The next instant, countless hollow eyes opened on the bird's body.
Those were empty eye sockets, from its bald fur, from its swaying limbs.
After it opened its eyes, it did not make any movement.
After descending from the sky and landing in front of Bai Qian, it simply stood quietly before her.
But it also seemed as if it had already told Bai Qian.
Accept it, surrender to it, and then be devoured by it.
This was the only choice Bai Qian had.
If she does not comply, Bai Qian will face a terror that does not belong to this human world.
The wrath of the gods.
This is the message it conveys.
Bai Qian looked up at it, gazing at its deformed body.
Those dark eyes did show some changes.
"Ugly." A hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
This is only natural; no matter how bad Bai Qian's aesthetic sense is, she wouldn't find this thing particularly attractive.
It's not just a matter of how unattractive it is; using human limbs as decorations, no matter how beautiful, will always look repulsive.
Upon hearing Bai Qian's words, the initial anticipation and joy turned into coldness.
It was not angry.
Humans don't get angry at ants, and neither do ants.
The claw covered in human limbs casually slapped towards Bai Qian.
Bai Qian remained unmoved, standing still without making any move.
Nothing works.
The claw passed right through Bai Qian, as if she were just a phantom in the water. With a gentle touch, it returned to normal.
This is only natural; how could things in a dream harm people in reality? Waving its claws like that is nothing more than intimidation.
Bai Qian was already aware of this from the moment she entered this place.
There is a clear boundary between here and reality. Reality cannot affect here, and similarly, here cannot affect reality.
It's just that it allows itself to see this place; the real self isn't here.
Either it will come to reality, or Bai Qian will find the way here and come here.
It stopped moving, and countless eyes stared coldly at Bai Qian.
It must be saying.
When it comes to reality, it will make Bai Qian realize exactly what mistake she made.
A mistake that even death cannot undo.
At that time, it won't be as simple as offering one's body to the gods; eating her will simply be the most merciful thing to do.
Bai Qian remained unmoved throughout.
She stared at the monster in front of her.
"I'll wait for you," she said.
But after saying it, he probably felt it wasn't quite right.
"Wait for me." She carefully revised her words.
Volume 1: Chapter 35, Willow Fairy
"Miss Bai?" Zhao Lin looked at Bai Qian, who was in a daze, with concern. He wanted to help but didn't know how.
Zhao Lin still has no idea what happened.
It was as if he had crushed his own experiences of the past few decades into an egg.
Putting aside the fact that the masked man was completely unharmed after being treated like that, after all, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for a normal person.
Let's talk about the move Bai Qian just used.
He's not old yet, and he doesn't have presbyopia.
He couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with the starting stance of his family's martial arts; it was something ingrained in his bones, something he could never forget.
He started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and to this day, he remembers every detail of the Compassionate Hand technique clearly.
So he was quite certain that this was the Hand of Compassion, even though it had some slightly different features.
So here's the question: did this person learn it?
How could you learn the Compassion Hands technique just by demonstrating it in a few breaths?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
When did I learn to use the compassionate hand gesture?
Zhao Lin remembered that it seemed to be the ninth year since he started learning martial arts at the age of six. When he was fifteen, he barely managed to touch the threshold of the Compassion Hand. Only then could he use the Compassion Hand.
Then, someone tells him, or rather, his own eyes tell him, that someone has only just come into contact with the Compassionate Hand, and hasn't even burned two incense sticks yet, and has gone from knowing absolutely nothing to this level.
They are better than me.
Zhao Lin was certain of this; he knew he couldn't have delivered that palm strike himself.
All these years of practicing martial arts have been a waste of my time.
While Zhao Lin was still wondering whether he was suitable for martial arts, Bai Qian came to her senses.
Those cold eyes narrowed.
"It's nothing," Bai Qian replied, perhaps because she had just overheard Zhao Lin's words.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then looked away.
A little cold.
When Zhao Lin met Bai Qian's gaze just now, he could only feel a bone-chilling coldness, as if the person standing in front of him was not a slender young girl, but...
He shook his head, retracting his wild thoughts.
She wanted to ask Bai Qian about the Compassionate Hand, but hesitated and didn't ask.
If they've learned it, so be it. Whether they learned it before or in less than half a day, it's their skill, so why should I worry about it?
To be honest, my previous actions were somewhat laughable. They didn't need me to worry about them at all; I should just take care of myself first.
"Are you alright?" Pei Huan asked anxiously as she ran into the courtyard.
She was still covered in dust, probably because she had just been taught a lesson.
Bai Qian shook her head, picked up the broken flag from the ground, and thought about what had just happened.
That monster.
Bai Feng Niangniang? Calling her a phoenix is not quite accurate; at most, she's just a very ugly bird.
But if we're talking about strength...
If it really is what I just sensed.
They shouldn't be a match for her; Bai Qian was quite clear about this.
The gap between the two sides is obvious.
"Where is that official from just now?" Pei Huan looked around, but saw nothing except the collapsed wall.
After Bai Qian broke the flag, Hong Yu completely melted, turning into a grayish-white liquid that flowed onto the ground.
By the time Bai Qian came to her senses, the puddle of liquid had disappeared.
Seeing that Bai Qian didn't want to explain, Zhao Lin stepped forward and explained the situation to Pei Huan, especially emphasizing how easily Bai Qian had learned the Compassionate Hand.
Pei Huan wasn't particularly surprised when she heard this.
This guy did such a thing, what's there to be surprised about?
To be honest, the only way to be truly shocked would be if someone told you that this person went to Liangdu and killed the emperor there.
"It's good that you're alright." Pei Huan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“The thugs outside were all knocked unconscious by that masked weirdo. I was worried something might happen to you.”
"As for the officials... I'll think of a way," Pei Huan said hesitantly.
No matter what you say, Hong Yu is still gone.
Even though the imperial court is like a dilapidated building that could collapse at any moment, it is still the legitimate government. The sudden disappearance of a constable, without even a trace of his body, demands an explanation.
“The Chamber of Commerce was supposed to set off these days. I don’t know what the local government is thinking. Will they evacuate the people in the city? But if they don’t, they might block us from leaving. Uncle Zhao, please have the caravan prepare.” Pei Huan instructed.
"Understood, I'll go in a bit." Zhao Lin's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
The fact that the convoy couldn't move these days is a minor issue, but the real problem is that the bad tide is coming soon, and if they get surrounded in Baifeng City, then the trouble will be much bigger.
In the past, one could have hoped that the imperial court would send someone to rescue them, but in this world... it's better to hope that some great demon will suddenly take pity on you and help you out than to rely on the imperial court.
......
Bai Qian sat opposite Pei Huan, watching Pei Huan tidy his messy hair. Bai Qian guessed that Pei Huan might have been hit a couple of times. Bai Fengren's attacks on people were not serious. Judging from the situation, Zhao Lin and Pei Huan were not seriously injured and could be fine after rubbing some medicinal wine on their hair.
“Master, why don’t you stay here with me for a few days? Or come with us to the county town?” Pei Huan said.
Bai Fengcheng is not quite right, and besides, there will be a bad tide later.
"Let's take another look." Bai Qian tilted her head and looked at the panel.
With 103 years of demonic lifespan and 21 years of bizarre lifespan remaining, Bai Qian was considering how to allocate her remaining lifespan.
"The raging tide can't be stopped by human effort alone. I know you're capable, but..."
"We'll have to ask other people."
"The others?" Pei Huan was taken aback.
"Yes, my sister."
"Your sister?"
"She taught me all these martial arts." Bai Qian wasn't lying; Bai Yao really did teach her.
"Then my elder sister must be very powerful. She might not be a master, but she's close." Pei Huan suddenly realized that it was no wonder Bai Qian was so powerful.
"Are there any martial artists in Bai Fengcheng who have opened their meridians?" Bai Qian asked.
She wanted to add more points, but although the current lifespan of the demons was still high, it was being used up quite quickly, and she would encounter inexplicable bottlenecks.
According to Zhao Lin, if one could learn the method of opening the meridians, then perhaps one could overcome these bottlenecks and save some of the demon's lifespan.
"Hmm... I only know two." Pei Huan pondered for a moment before answering, without asking Bai Qian why she was asking this.
"One of them is the current head of the Huang family... The strange man wearing the white phoenix mask that you just met came from the Huang family. I heard that their family is related to the White Phoenix Temple in Bai Fengcheng."
"There is another one who is not in the city now. I heard that he lives in Qiaohe Village in the east of the city. More than ten years ago, he was working outside and was injured. He lost an arm and then returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Now he is old and weak, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much martial arts left."
Bai Qian nodded upon hearing this.
I can't go to the Huang family's place for now.
Bai Qian didn't plan to provoke that bird so soon.
She didn't mean she would just recklessly attack anyone; if she encountered someone she couldn't beat, she would wait until she could.
That rat demon looks just like that.
Let's go check on the other person tomorrow.
After learning the method of opening the meridians, find a few more monsters, collect some of their lifespan, and then consider other things.
Thinking this, Bai Qian looked at the panel and transferred five years of her strange lifespan to [Yun Liu].
