Chapter 6, Li Zhi

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Li Zhi smiled and replied: "I was a disciple of the White Lotus Sect during the late Yuan Dynasty. I was killed by the Yuan army while attacking a county with the troops. Later, in the underworld, I heard that our White Lotus Sect's little Mingming Wang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, this foreign usurper court. Unfortunately, just a few hundred years later, it was taken over by evildoers again"

This means that I can also have a bag like yours

Li Zhi saw that Yue Chengwu was empty-handed and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Brother, are you also here to hunt on the Xici Grassland? Why don't we team up and look out for each other?" After thinking for a moment, Yue Chengwu agreed. Although Li Zhi was a young girl, her swordsmanship was strong enough to contend with demon wolves, far surpassing his mediocre skills.

The yellow demon rabbit remained unperturbed, extending its front paw to swipe, causing the colorful stone to strike against its claws with a loud bang. Yuecheng Wu felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train, a heaviness settling in his chest. As he watched the colorful stone rebound, he suppressed the rising irritation within him, pointed again, and shouted "Attack!" The second colorful stone flew out in response, colliding with the one that was returning, both crashing down to the ground.

"Unfortunately, I do not possess any celestial nets; otherwise, I would truly wish to acquire such a treasure." Yue Chengwu expressed some envy towards Li Zhi. Just yesterday, he and Wang Shi had exerted considerable effort to bring back five demon rabbits they had hunted from https://www.hetushu.com to Xici Town. With this treasure, one could save an immense amount of effort.

Since Yue Chengwu discovered the mysterious and nameless power within him that could manipulate the colorful stones, he had contemplated enhancing the variation of the Flying Stone Technique, but he had not yet found the time to practice. Unexpectedly, in a moment of crisis, he tried it and surprisingly succeeded, catching the yellow demon rabbit off guard and injuring it.

Li Zhiyao shook her head and said, "I have never seen anyone selling Tianluo cloth in Xici Town. As for what Tianluo cloth looks like, you can see this and know it." The young girl shook out a piece of yellow cloth, and Yuecheng Wu was immediately overjoyed.

I just floated up from Mirror Lake yesterday. To be honest, I still occasionally doubt whether I am dreaming. " Yuecheng Wu shrugged his shoulders, revealing a nonchalant smile.

The ear was struck, thoroughly enraging the yellow demon rabbit. With a sharp, piercing howl of anger, the demon rabbit abandoned Li Zhi and lunged towards Yue Chengwu in mid-air. Yue Chengwu hurriedly employed the footwork taught by Wang Shi, leaping forward just in time to evade a pair of rabbit legs aimed at his chest.

Li Zhi patted her waist and replied contentedly: "This is not a spell of the White Lotus Sect; the spells in our sect are only understood by the leader and are never taught to the disciples. As long as you can obtain a piece of Tianluo cloth, the old man Bayang in Xici Town will make you a backpack. He once helped an immortal who came from the Pangu Continent, and the immortal taught him how to make this kind of bag that can hold many things. The old man Bayang is very kind and always makes them for everyone for free, asking for no reward."

It seems that a visit to the elder Bayang is absolutely necessary

However, what the yellow demon rabbit did not expect was that Yuecheng Wumeng shouted loudly: "Turn!" The colorful stone made a sudden turn in mid-air and struck fiercely against the left ear of the yellow demon rabbit, breaking its left ear that was nearly as tall as a person.

You are truly lucky! Li Zhi took the stone, examined it for a while, and shook her head, saying: I cannot see any use for this stone, or perhaps you could ask Elder Bayang; he is the most knowledgeable person in Xici Town.

I had just surfaced from Mirror Lake when I saw an old man fishing by the shore. It was he who gave me these two items. Do you know what this stone can do

Yue Chengwu attempted to summon twice, but the two pieces of colorful stones showed no reaction, clearly indicating that they were rendered useless. Despite losing two pieces of colorful stones, Yue Chengwu did not panic; the calmness he had cultivated in the workplace came into play as he swiftly reached for the third stone and hurled it with great force.

Li Zhi took a break for a while, then removed a small yellow cloth pouch from her waist. With a shake, she captured the demon wolf into it. Yuecheng Wu stared in astonishment and exclaimed, "How can that pouch fit such a large demon wolf? Is this some secret legendary technique of the White Lotus Sect? I heard that Tang Saier and that Daoist Xu can turn beans into soldiers; I thought it was just a folk tale"

Yue Chengwu did not wait to stand up, but instead grabbed two colorful stones with both hands and shouted as he threw them backward. The yellow demon rabbit dodged two flying stones, thinking that Yue Chengwu's abilities were nothing remarkable. Eager for revenge, it became somewhat careless. Unexpectedly, the two colorful stones thrown by Yue Chengwu had slightly different speeds, colliding in front of the yellow demon rabbit, and suddenly exploded.

Yue Chengwu secretly wiped away his sweat and thought to himself: "The White Lotus Sect! This world is indeed extraordinary; I just encountered a minor soldier from the Yue Family Army, and here I am again with a female disciple of the White Lotus Sect"

Yue Chengwu casually threw a clump of mud, which struck the corpse of the yellow demon rabbit. The rabbit did not move at all, confirming to him that it was indeed dead. As pain surged through his body, he lamented that four out of the five colorful stones gifted to him by Wang Shi had been destroyed, causing him to feel instantly deflated. In comparison to Li Zhi, who gently wiped her short sword and calmly sheathed it at her waist, Yue Chengwu felt that he was lacking by quite a margin

Yue Chengwu did not dare to be careless. With a wave of his palm, a colorful stone first flew around him in a circle, adjusting the mysterious power within his body to its optimal state. Only then did he exhale and shout, "Attack!" The colorful stone immediately transformed into a barely visible gray line, striking towards the left eye of the pure yellow demon rabbit.

Li Zhi drew her short sword and swiftly lunged forward, intercepting the massive yellow demon rabbit. Her swordsmanship was a direct inheritance from the White Lotus Sect, characterized by its lightness and ferocity. As a young woman who had been on the battlefield and experienced life and death, she showed no fear in the face of this fierce and extraordinary demon rabbit

Oh, you just arrived in Fengzhou, how could you possess such a precious item

The Tianluo cloth is extremely rare; I have only found one and a half pieces. I made one for myself, and the remaining half is simply not enough to make another. Otherwise, I would have no objection to giving it to you.

In the gaze of the yellow demon rabbit, there was a hint of mockery. This time, it didn't even lift its leg; it merely tilted its head slightly and evaded the stone. In its eyes, Li Zhi's short sword posed a far greater threat, while the Moon City martial arts were practically negligible.

You are welcome. Did that monster injure you? Would you like me to take you back to Xici Town?

The yellow demon rabbit was caught off guard by Moon City Wu's unexpected move, unable to evade in time, and both its eyes were blinded by the explosion of debris. With a shrill cry, it leaped high into the air. At that critical moment, Li Zhi deftly slashed her short sword across the demon rabbit's throat, causing the giant yellow demon rabbit to crash to the ground, blood gushing forth. It twitched a few times on the ground before succumbing to its injuries.

The two had not walked far when they encountered a completely yellow demon rabbit. This demon rabbit was one and a half times larger than its kind, clearly indicating that it had been cultivating for a considerable amount of time. Its fur was a glossy, bright yellow, and its eyes were lively and full of spirit.

If only it were a dream, my name is Li Zhi, and I have been in Fengzhou for nearly four years. I occasionally think of my parents and younger brother, and I always hope that the next time I wake up from a dream, I will return home

Yue Chengwu asked with some curiosity, "What was the Rob like that day? Is it available for sale in Xici Town?"

He took out a roll of yellow cloth and a stone given to him by the old man fishing by the Mirror Lake, and indeed they were identical to the piece of celestial net cloth in Li Zhi's hand

Yue Chengwu chuckled and comforted the young girl, saying, "Your parents and younger brother will always have different lives from yours. Although it is always a bit hard to part from loved ones, over time, you will gradually forget. May I ask which era you are from?" After arriving in Fengzhou, Yue Chengwu developed a habit of first inquiring about the era from which others hailed.

"No need, this little injury is nothing, I just need to rest for a bit. Are you new here? I haven't seen you before." The girl appeared very lively, her face glistening with sweat mixed with dust. Although it looked somewhat amusing, it carried a unique flavor of youthful exuberance.
