The next day, Qian Yin mountain was doused in drizzle rain. The atmosphere in the room was heavy and gloomy.
Little Orchid was able to get down from the bed, but the movement of the limbs was still stiff. She used the wall in the room as a handrail to walk around. Dong Fang Qing Cang was really idle and bored. He would arbitrarily pick out a book on the shelf and leaned against the window to read.
Seeing Dong Fang Qing Cang read has made Little Orchid somewhat astonished. In her head, even from the legends that her master has told her from the legends, or the Dong Fang Qing Cang that she has personally saw within the previous span of time, she has felt that he was someone who would use violence unruly to solve a dispute when he was unhappy. When angered, he would kill. Such person also reads books of the sages and understand ah? Also know how to learn humanity and morals ah?
Yet, I'm afraid that he…
Suddenly, Dong Fang Qing Cang saw many rows of words in the book and immediately laughed while displaying a scornful and condescending expression.
The corners of Little Orchid's mouth twitched and she immediately understood—So Dong Fang Qing Cang was…merely seeing how stupid the author was to what extent and then would secretly mock. With regards to a person who absolutely favors violence like him, the dogma in the book was like a mud trampled on the ground—worthless.
She did not look at him anymore and focused on practicing.
Actually, when Little Orchid was observing Dong Fang Qing Cang, he would occasionally lift his head up and glance at her.
Currently, Little Orchid's body was still stiff and steps were staggering. After several steps would veer off. Each time when Little Orchid was not stable and fell down to the ground, Dong Fang Qing Cang would turned eyes to look at her for a bit, but after seeing that she has gotten up to continue walking, his gaze fell on the book.
It was like watching over a little kid….
In the evening, Qian Yin langjun saw that the scene was quiet, but was harmonious in a strange way.
He came near the room several steps. When the ground did not have a single vestige of moisture, he then withdrew the boundary on body.
The appearance of him has caused the room to turn silent. Little Orchid attempted to trudge and stay far from him. She leaned against the tea table to stabilized standing and then said, "How come Qian Yin langjun has come here?"
"Of course Qian Yin langjun is here to see you." He said such, but glanced at Dong Fang Qing Cang in the front. After that, his gaze carried over to Little Orchid and examined her for a while. Satisfied, he said, "A Lan has already began to move around. Adaptation has apparently gone well."
Pondering about the implications in his words, Little Orchid felt the spine was in a burst of cold and hurriedly said, "Still has not adapted well. Each time [I've] walked would fall."
"If that is so, has to practice several more times. Unfortunately, today is a rainy day and cannot invite you to the garden for a walk. There is no other option but to wronged you by having you walk in this room."
Little Orchid was quiet. Over there, Dong Fang Qing Cang appeared to not have heard the dialogue between the two people and was indifferently reading the book until Qian Yin langjun has switched to Dong Fang Qing Cang's direction, "Today brother Dong Fang seemed to be leisurely."
Dong Fang Qing Cang did not get to respond as Qian Yin langjun has continued, "Speaking shamefully, there are many (more than ten) craftsmen on this Qian Yin mountain that have researched xi rang for ten years, but there was no one who can mold xi rang into a body. The xi rang right now is not enough to make another body, but the craftsmen are curious of such matter. Does not know whether brother Dong Fang will be willingly to dispel the suspicions of Qian Yin mountain craftsmen?"
"They do not know of my magic." Dong Fang Qing Cang coldly tossed out a sentence. Under the unfathomable, deep gaze of Qian Yin langjun, he dropped the book and stood up with arrogant smile that hung on his lips, "But I don't mind dispelling doubts."
Finished speaking, he went toward the direction of the door, "Lead the way."
Qian Yin langjun slightly wrinkled eyes and followed the shadow of Dong Fang Qing Cang without saying a word. He [DFQC] turned around to look at him [Qian Yin langjun], "Not coming?"
Qian Yin langjun smiled gently, "Of course will go, A Ying." He spoke up to call and outside has appeared the shadow that has always followed him, "Bring Dong Fang to the craftsmen place."
"Little Orchid." Before leaving the door, Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly halted his steps and turned around. With the contrast of the curtain of rain outside, his face was concentrated at Little Orchid, "Be good and wait for me to return."
He turned around. His iridescent silver hair swept in a beautifully laid curve. He was wearing a black gown, and was not hesitant in the slightest bit in stepping into the curtain of rain.
Seeing the shadow of Dong Fang Qing Cang being carried far, Little Orchid was somewhat absent-minded. At this time, the voice of Qian Yin langjun rang beside her ears, "Even though brother Dong Fang may be a male, but demeanor and appearance has caused us to exclaim in admiration."
Right ah, the matter that one cannot forgive Dong Fang Qing Cang the most was that even though he has the vilest heart in the world, but has an appearance that can topple cities.
Little Orchid's heart was rather heavy. Even though Dong Fang Qing Cang's body is fundamentally not fearful of mountains of daggers and seas of flames, but thinking about yesterday with the secretive sound transmission spell and that he has to draw the spell in order to cast it, Little Orchid somewhat furrowed her brows.
Within her heart, she was not worrying for him. She was simply afraid that he couldn't withstand anymore and implicate her plans…
Qian Yin langjun sat on the table, "A Lan, you don't want to sit and relax for a bit?"
Hearing Qian Yin langjun say such words, Little Orchid regained her senses and used the table as support when she sat down. After that, she brought the cup of tea in front of her.
Qian Yin langjun saw such and eyes slightly flickered, "A Lan can already drink water?"
"Yes." Little Orchid nodded, "Big…Dong Fang said I can drink water and even swimming in the sea is not problem."
Qian Yin langjun lowered his eyes, "A molded body by using xi rang is really different." His finger lightly tapped on the table as if considering something. Suddenly, shaking reverberated on the earth ground and the water in the teacup on the table rippled out small waves.
The room was quiet for a while. Not waiting for Qian Yin langjun to speak, Little Orchid suddenly spoke up, "Your people has already began to make a move against him?"
The rhythmic finger of Qian Yin langjun suddenly paused and he lifted his head to look Little Orchid with a smiling face, "What is A Lan talking about?"
"Don't pretend anymore, I knew." Little Orchid said, "You're an illusory/image demon and want to take my xi rang body."
Finished speaking, the atmosphere within the room was instantly heavy.
The gentle smile on Qian Yin langjun slowly turned cold and the sharp eyes of his peered attentively at Little Orchid, "Oh? How does A Lan know? From what I have observed for several days, perhaps brother Dong Fang has noticed and took caution, but he does not know that clearly. Also does not have the opportunity to tell in details to you."
"When putting on a play, none of you guys can act like he does. You guys are swindlers while he is a big swindler."
When Little Orchid was talking, the ground carried a wave of shaking and such shaking was stronger than the first one several times. The teacup on the table and the table echoed out "Du Du". However, after living with Dong Fang Qing Cang for a period of time, faced with a quiet, oppressive atmosphere, and the fear due to the shaking the ground has brought, Little Orchid's face remained calm.
She spoke word by word, "Furthermore, if referring to fighting, you guys cannot defeat him."
Qian Yin langjun's eyes that congealed light looked at Little Orchid, "In A Lan's mind, brother Dong Fang was such a powerful person? He light smiled, "Or perhaps in A Lan's mind, I am someone who is useless to that point?"
"Within my mind it's not so. It's because he is really powerful." Little Orchid was very helpless and was slightly pausing before continuing, "I know that since you're able to create such a large hostile formation like this at the bottom of the sea under Qian Yin mountain, then [you] must be someone who is different from the ordinary. But, you guys are not his opponents."
As if confirming Little Orchid's words, the stronger quake came. From the window one can peer at, [one] can see from afar of birds chirping noisily and flying to escape one after another.
Qian Yin langjun's face darkened.
Little Orchid pretended to not care. Her expression grew steady, "I know image/illusory demons have difficulties in obtaining a body for ten thousand years. You must have desire my body extremely. If not, then will not expend so much effort like this to get it. I can give the body to you."
Qian Yin langjun wrinkled his face, "A Lan is definitely not going to give the body unconditionally?"
"Correct." Little Orchid replied, "I want to negotiate with you."
Qian Yin langjun smiled gently and face appeared to not have been bothered with the occurrence at Qian Yin mountain as he asked, "Does not know how A Lan will negotiate with me?"
"From before, master has often told me, doing business demands equality. I have frankly told what I knew to you already. You have to frankly tell me what you know. If you wanted this body, the first step is letting me know. You have always said that I am a treasure. In the end, what treasure am I?"
Qian Yin langjun smiled, "Brother Dong Fang didn't let you know?"
Little Orchid was silent.
"Really laughable. No one trusts the other." Qian Yin langjun said, "In truth, I do not know exactly what treasure A Lan is, but from the first meeting, does A Lan remembered the body that has rotted to what extent?"
Obviously does remember. With such a pitiful state, Little Orchid will never forget in her entire life.
"It's exactly what you have said, I am really an image/illusory image. A living being that is most similar with a wandering soul in this world. No one knows the feeling of a living being who has to take refuge in a body like us. Thus I knew, in those conditions, taking refuge in such body in order to walk among the mortal world was a difficult matter in many regards. Regular souls definitely cannot do so. But your soul can peacefully live inside that rotting body. If you did not go out by yourself, then can still take refuge in that body and persist for three more days."
Little Orchid furrowed her brows, "You're saying it's due to my fear of dying that a formidable source of power emerged?"
Qian Yin langjun laughed, " If at that time then can say so, but right now you're still residing peacefully in this body. It's definitely not because you are "scared to death" and surfaced a large strength. It's because the strength of your soul was already formidable."
Little Orchid was shocked. Since a long time to now, this was the first time someone has praised her for having a large strength.
"The shape of xi rang is continuously fickle. Furthermore, it has spiritual energy. For many years, the people at Qian Yin mountain were unsuccessful in molding a body. One is that xi rang cannot turn into a shape and two, even if xi rang has turned in shape, there is no soul that can resist the opposing spiritual energy in xi rang. Even if it's the Da Luo Jin Xian*, the soul cannot endure such destructive force." The light within Qian Yin langjun's eyes burned, "But you were able to conquer this body, caused it to slowly become flexible, and slowly tamed it to get used to your soul."
"A Lan, can you say that you're not a treasure?"
* Great, Highly Respected Immortal or something along that line
Little Orchid was in a dazed and then remembered, "And so, when I wanted to crawl into this body, many shadows underneath the ground stirred and covered Dong Fang's boundary was due to you who wanted to help me. Allowed me to crawl into that body first and let me become a lab rat to test whether it will succeed…"
Qian Yin langjun nodded and unexpectedly did not hide it anymore, "After that, waited for you to turn this body flexible and I will find a way to guide your soul out. At that time, the opposing force of xi rang will definitely be much smaller than right now."
Little Orchid was in a daze for a long time, "Indeed, you guys are a bunch of frauds who conspire an endless amount of crafty schemes."
Qian Yin langjun did not say a single word.
The ground was trembling even more intense. Little Orchid stabilized the mind and inhaled a deep breath before she spoke, "Fine, I will not seek redress for those matters. The urgent matter right now is that I want to go to the Heavenly realm. You want my body?"
Qian Yin langjun furrowed brows, "You want to go to the Heavenly realm?"
"I am an orchid immortal and obviously will return to the Heavenly realm. If you can lead me to the Southern Heavenly Gate, and let me return to my master's side, then I will give this body to you. If not…" Little Orchid lifted the teacup on the table and touched the tea inside, "Here is the blood of Dong Fang. He has taught me an incantation." Little Orchid would draw the spell on the table as she spoke. The place that her fingers has drawn over would have no mark appearing in the beginning, but in the end, the moment when her fingertips withdrew, the table's surface illuminated and evil energy surged from the spell.
Qian Yin langjun saw such and furrowed brows. He touched the ground and jumped up. The wooden chair that he sat on immediately slide out far. At this time, the evil energy has covered the entire wooden table. In only a short period of time, the wooden table turned stiff as the evil energy crushed it into debris bit by bit. A moment later, it turned into dust.
The shadow under the table suddenly rang out a pitiful, screeching scream and then completely vanished.
Pieces of wood scattered the ground with some sprinkling on Little Orchid's knees.
She stared at the dust on the ground and face was pale-stricken with bewilderment.
She knew that stuff from Dong Fang Qing Cang would contain evilness, but cannot expect that the evilness to be that strong. If [one] really drew on Qian Yin langjun, at this time on her knees would unfortunately mounds of clay.
She lifted head and saw that Qian Yin langjun was quite far away from her. His expression was solemn and eyes were sharp, "This spell was taught by Dong Fang to you?"
Little Orchid restrained the surging emotions within and said, "Correct."
Qian Yin langjun's expression turned unpleasant for the very first time, "In the end, who is Dong Fang?"
"I have said already, you guys are not his opponents. Right now the only way for you is to bring me to the Heavenly realm." Little Orchid spoke. Even though her expression is a bit pale, but has already calmed back down. Seeing that Qian Yin langjun has not made a movement, she gritted her teeth in the end. After that, under his watchful gaze, she lifted the left hand with the teacup. Her right hand dipped into the tea in the cup and the fingertips were placed on her chest.
"If not, then don't count on either one of us to have an easy time."
Does not let her a way to live, then the wishes of everyone will not be reached.
Qian Yin langjun's eyes within that moment became gloomy like the weather outside.
