Chapter 45 - Chapter 27.1

With the matters involving Qian Yin mountain, Little Orchid has never heard Siming mentioned that much and not to mention even hearing such matters in the mortal realm. Thus, she does not know in the least bit about the owner of the this Qian Yin mountain.

But Little Orchid felt he was not a bad person.

At least, can be considered a good person than Dong Fang Qing Cang!

After finally arriving at Qian Yin mountain, Little Orchid was more determined about this matter.

The owner of Qian Yin mountain appeared like an elegant scholar and peaceful while treating others with manners. Each action has elegance but was also more mysterious to the point where he does not make it difficult for her when finding her a body!

Little Orchid looked into the mirror and rubbed the soft, fresh face of her. She did not dare to believe and asked the person behind, "Can really mold this from clay?"

Qian Yin langjun sat aside from a table behind Little Orchid. He slowly drank tea and spoke, "Yes, from yesterday when I took you to the island, has ordered someone to mold. How is it? Does it look like the appearance that I have heard you described?"

"Yes!" Little Orchid pinched her face, "Really look like! Skin is soft, bone is strong. When knock onto joints would not skew. Rubbing for long will warm the skin. Really is like a body of a person."

Little Orchid really wanted to cry. Only the sky would know the period of time where it was extremely difficult as she went from Lu Ming mountain to Lin Hai city.

After she left Lu Ming mountain, she originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful on the road and conveniently rely on the horse carriage of the passerby. She was able to pretend and was also able to go into the horse carriage, but after sitting in the horse carriage for a while, [she] felt the tailbone skewed away and after sitting for a while more, the backbone also skewed. Sitting for while more then, even the spine was almost degrading. Thus, she had to leave the carriage to walk. The beginning days were okay, yet after walking more would struggle. Even after walking only a few steps the knees would break.

Along the way she would halt to put back the hands and legs, causing others to be scared to the point of fainting.

Right now thinking of such time, she has truly, and naively created sins.

"But…" Little Orchid looked at herself in the mirror. Within heart [she] felt a bit suspicious and she turned herself around to look at Qian Yin langjun, "Master has said to me, aside from natural laws of the heavens, there is no one who has the power to give out lives to others. The body using clay to mold is a dead thing and has no living energy. Even if the soul has occupied, cannot move. How come your potter can do such?"

Qian Yin langjun nodded, "Your master has spoken correctly, but at Qian Yin mountain, I have something." Qian Yin langjun took from his waist an embroidered pouch. He opened the pouch and grabbed a bunch of trembling brown dirt out. The dirt slowly changed shape inside his hands and then slowly changed into a small mountain. It looked like a living object and continue to move incessantly as it changes shape.

Little Orchid blinked as she looked at the dirt. She recognized that this was the dirt that boar lord has tossed out when he was battling against Dong Fang Qing Cang. The little subordinate of the boar called this the demon dirt.

"This is xi rang*." He explained, "It is a mysterious object in this world and different from regular dirt. It has the ability to grow and multiple with no end." Qian Yin langjun grabbed a handful of the dirt and held it up for Little Orchid, "The clay that molded into your body was regular clay, but after mixing with xi rang then it can hold a soul and move which was no different from a living person."

* Means along the lines of breathing soil/earth.

Looking at Little Orchid's surprise face, he could not hold it in and laughed, "Isn't it magical?"

Little Orchid nodded.

"But your master still spoke correctly. In this world, besides from the natural heaven laws of the world, then there is no one who can create a living body." He continued to speak, "Mixing with xi rang into the body can only help you use this body within three days. After that, the living energy of xi rang will disappeared and this body cannot move. You have to use a different body. Furthermore, because this body was made by dirt, has to remember at all times that you cannot touch water. If touched it, then that part will be ruined and will even be rotting faster than your old body."

Little Orchid heard this and her hands that were about to touch the tea withdrew, "Cannot even drink tea?"

Qian Yin langjun smiled gently, "From now on you do not need to drink water and even don't need to eat. But you can eat and taste the flavors of food. Yet, those can only remain in your stomach."

"Eating will not fatten up?"

Qian Yin langjun laughed, "Of course not."

"Then I can eat? Even though doesn't need to…"

"Of course can." Qian Yin langjun stood up and led her outside, "On this island of mine, has only a few of other things, but has a lot of chefs. What do you want to eat?"

Little Orchid does not respond and dazedly looked at Qian Yin langjun for a while. Then she suddenly said, "Previously, master has said, one who is unaccountably solicitous would be hiding evil intentions. Xi rang is definitely something precious. This body of mine has to be changed after three days and is quite costly. From before we have never met. You have wholeheartedly agreed to help me like this. In the end, what intentions do you have with me?"

Little Orchid does not understand. From the moment they have met at Lin Hai city to right now it has been five days. At Lin Hai city it was one day, moving across the ocean was three days, and yesterday when arrived at Qian Yin mountain. Within the five days Little Orchid has done nothing, but Qian Yin langjun has helped her unconditionally.

He has treated her quite well and unconditionally, causing her to feel unnatural.

Right now she has to rely on someone else to give her a body. What intention does this person has with her?

Don't tell me…want to use her soul for training/creating pills?

"Hah…" Qian Yin langjun laughed, "Miss A Lan, you have arrived at Qian Yin mountain for several days and only asked this now. It is not a bit late?"

"Has already asked so it's not considered late."

Qian Yin langjun smiled gently and did not appeared angry with Little Orchid's question. He continued to lead her outside and pointed to strange flowers along the two sides, "I like to collect and want to bring all unique and unmatched treasures back to where they belong."

Little Orchid blinked and asked, "I am an unique and unmatched treasure?"

"Yes ah, extremely precious."

Little Orchid has not recovered from "I am a treasure" and then saw a female from the garden coming here. She stepped to where Qian Yin langjun was and bowed with him. Then she whispered in several words.

Qian Yin langjun finished hearing and expression was rather darken. He nodded and then waved his hands for the female to leave.

Little Orchid was curious and asked, "What is it?"

"There are several demons who want to charge into my Qian Yin mountain."

Little Orchid froze, "Demon?"

"En. You do not need to be alarmed. They are already halted by the my maze in front of Qian Yin mountain."

"Outside the mountain…has a maze?"

"A Lan went with me into the mountain. Obviously does not know of this maze." Qian Yin langjun told, "Qian Yin mountain has an inherent, strange position in the middle of the land. This mountain appears and disappears on the ocean. Mortals with no fate will not be able to see it. Those who goes Qian Yin mountain of mine has to be someone who is extremely fateful. Each time someone goes to my mountain, I have treated enthusiastically. But several years ago, there was a crafty scoundrel who charged in…"

Qian Yin langjun would tell and would also lead Little Orchid deep into the courtyard and to the pavilion. He told Little Orchid to sit down and then pushed the plate of desserts toward her, "Eat this for temporarily satisfaction. Let me tell them to make you another plate."

Little Orchid honestly held it up to bite into. Just when [she] bite in, immediately it melt and caused her to widen her eyes. This dessert is tastier than the ones Heavenly Emperor has brought to propose to master! With a tremble, she immediately ate several ones and said, "Qian Yin mountain has crafty scoundrel charging in, then what happened?"

Qian Yin langjun looked at the chubby face of hers as she ate. He wanted to raised his hands to pinch, but felt this was not appropriate and thus, fingers were in rhythm on the table, "That was a powerful demon. After arriving at Qian Yin mountain, he memorized the path leading up to the mountain and then went outside to gather a group of demons in order to steal all of my treasures."

"Indeed excessive."

"Right ah , they stole a couple of my treasures and exchanged them for money." Qian Yin langjun spoke with regrets while he shook his head, "If needed money then tell me, I will give it to them."

"Do not be sad. Those who stole from you will not have a good outcome." Little Orchid wrapped up a dumpling, "Thus, after this, you set up a maze because of it?"

"After being robbed, did not intend to set up a maze because it will block the path to the mountain. But the most fearful thing was greed." Qian Yin langjun said, "Robbing once, they were not satisfied and robbed the second and third time. Thus, I've borrowed the strength of the combined treasures along with the position of this place to create the large maze under the ocean. Those who were uninvited and came will be imprisoned in there, resulting in the lost of their lives."

When the last four words were spoken, Qian Yin langjun's voice turned cold and carried hostility, causing Little Orchid to feel cold. When she lifted her head to look at him, Qian Yin langjun was still smiling gently without a change in expression.

Was…that an illusion?
