Xiuxian first lady

Chapter 23 - Dean Chen doesn't want to talk to you
Seeing Bai Yan reluctantly turning into a crane and flying away, Bai Xiaoxiao thought about it, and followed along the mountain road, grabbed a handful of dried fish, and planned to give her a support.

In terms of knowledge of spells, this He Tong'er is probably better than the new professor, but the "fear of cats" is engraved in his bones, and he can't change it.

After a short walk, we reached the edge of the valley.At this time, it is clear that although it is early winter outside the valley, the vegetation in the valley is green, and the lake in the middle is blue and clear, like a huge gemstone. Looking at the spring, there is no winter weather!

When I looked around, I saw white cranes circling above a clump of green bamboos by the lake, chirping once or twice from time to time, which seemed very far away in this valley.

Bai Xiaoxiao stared at the clump of green bamboos, and the more she looked at them, the more familiar they looked: Isn't this the clump behind the hut in the forest, her real body with a demon body?
Presumably Chen Qingcheng saw her true nature and ordered Xunxi to transplant the bamboo here.

Bai Xiaoxiaokong has passed through a demon body, but she doesn't know anything about demon cultivation, and she doesn't even know what kind of relationship this real body has with herself.

Anyway, knowing that Chen Qingcheng is caring for him, that's all.

Compared to when it was in the forest, the clump of green bamboos seemed to be denser and taller.

The afternoon sun shines directly into the valley, and also casts on the bamboo canopy of the emerald bamboo, and the scattered bamboo branches and leaves cast mottled light and shadow on the ground.

This place is very close to the lake, half of the bamboo shadows are reflected on the lake, occasionally there is a breeze, the bamboo leaves are rustling, and the sparkling light creates a fine blur, which makes people feel fascinated.

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, and saw the small three-flowered cat squatting between the light and shadow, but stretched its neck, staring sideways at the figure of the white crane hidden by the branches and leaves.

A look of concentration.

She slowed down, waved to the kitten, and put down another small dried fish.

Seeing her, Taotie let out a "meow" and ran towards her lightly.

Bai Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the kitten with the dried fish in its mouth, and then nodded to Bai Yan.

Tired of flying, the crane fell through the layers of bamboo leaves, and just transformed into a human form, but slipped on its feet and let out an "ouch".

Bai Xiaoxiao went over with the cat in her arms, took her arm, and saw some green color on her face at a glance, but her expression was a little dazed, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Look at you! What's going on!" Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and took out a handkerchief, trying to wipe it off for her, but she couldn't help but stop when she stretched out her hand halfway.

On Yuebai's veil, there was a faint trace of blood.

There was a stack of handkerchiefs given by Biyou Yuanjun in her Qiankun bag, but she took out this one casually.

But since she took it out, she didn't put it back immediately, but turned around and walked to the side of the lake, squatting down.

She doesn't know Chen Qingcheng's ability to wash clothes with spells. Seeing such clear water in front of her, she just washed the handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, before her hand touched the surface of the water, Bai Yan, who was still dazed just now, rushed over in a hurry, and suddenly grabbed her hand: "Senior Sister Bai, the lake water is different, don't touch it!"

"Huh?" Bai Xiaoxiao was just dazed, and the handkerchief inadvertently took off her hand, fluttered down, and gently covered the water.

The next moment, huge waves surged into the sky!

The lake, which was originally as calm as a mirror, changed in the blink of an eye.The water in the lake seemed to lift up and turned into a giant palm. With just one swipe, it patted the two people and the cat by the lake into the lake.

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't even struggle, so she was submerged to the top by the lake.

The lake, which looked as blue and warm as spring water, was actually full of cold air like sharp needles, which pierced her body with sharp pain, as if flesh and blood were falling off piece by piece.

Her body quickly became stiff, and she couldn't even move a finger.

The icy lake water also filled her mouth and nose at the same time, and even seemed to have flowed into her heart, freezing her heartbeat.

Not a moment later, she passed out completely.

……

Bai Xiaoxiao was dreaming.

Strangely, she knew she was dreaming, but everything in front of her was so real that she couldn't wake up from the dream.

She is at the bottom of the lake.

The water of the lake is clear, and it has lost the azure blue seen on the shore. She is in a piece of transparent and crystal clear water, and even the fine sand under her feet can be seen clearly.

But for some reason, she seemed to see something strange in this transparency.

Some "transparency" that differs from the surrounding transparent lake water.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand, as if she wanted to feel how strange the "transparency" was, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain at her fingertips.

It was like a long, extremely cold needle piercing her blood.

Bai Xiaoxiao screamed and opened her eyes.

However, the surrounding scenery has not changed.She was still at the bottom of the lake, in a "dream" of her waking consciousness.

It's just that there is one more person in this dream.

A tall man wearing the aqua-blue taoist robe of the Heavenly Questioning Sword Sect stood opposite her.

Bai Xiaoxiao had just gone up the mountain for a few days, so she knew very few people, but this face was the one she was most familiar with.

"Chen Qingcheng?"

When the name blurted out, Bai Xiaoxiao realized something was wrong, but she didn't change her name to "Dean Chen".

Because this is not the Chen Qingcheng she knew, the white-haired, haggard Dean Chen with blood on his lips.

Chen Qingcheng in front of him had jet-black hair and bright eyes, making one's heart ache at a glance.

It was like being stabbed by the freezing cold of the lake.

But he is indeed Chen Qingcheng.

Bai Xiaoxiao concluded so without hesitation.

She had never seen anyone with such a steep and stern posture, as if it was not a human being, but an unsheathed sword.

Chen Qingcheng, who was called by her name, looked at her intently. This time, he restrained the sharpness in his eyes a little.

"You know... 'me'?" he asked.

For some reason, when he said the last word, his tone was slightly hesitant.

Because of this, Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed suddenly, and she made a bold guess.

"I was introduced by Dean Chen." She replied quickly, "If my guess is correct, you should be Dean Chen's... projection? Doppelganger? Stand-in? Or something..."

In Tianwen Sword Sect, where Chen Qingcheng, the sword-wielding dean, lived, there was a forbidden area on Jiuyao Peak, and a person who appeared in the forbidden area was a person exactly like him.

Of course, this person can't be some kind of demon who has changed and harmed people.

Moreover, he also admitted that Chen Qingcheng was "he".

Most likely, he should be a replica that Chen Qingcheng left behind just in case.

Bai Xiaoxiao even understood a puzzling thing.

Why did she describe Chen Qingcheng's appearance to Ning Yu and others that day, and after she only said one sentence, Ning Yu decided that she was lying and deceitful, and never gave her a chance to explain?

Because when Chen Qingcheng left 60 years ago, he was still like this, with no trace of snow-white color in his neatly combed bun.

She may be the first person in this world to see the white-haired Chen Qingcheng.

When thinking of this, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel her heart tense again, as if she couldn't breathe for a while.

She couldn't imagine what Chen Qingcheng had experienced in the sky-replenishing formation, so that besides serious injuries, Qingsi had white hair instead.

However, after he came back, he almost didn't mention it, he just kept his head sullen and performed exercises to heal his injuries.

As if everything he did was normal and there was nothing else he could do.

So why did he keep this "self"?

And "Chen Qingcheng" in front of him just nodded and said, "Yes."

what is it!

Sure enough, no matter whether this person's hair is black or white, his speaking style is the same.

Bai Xiaoxiao complained in her heart, but on the surface she could only politely say: "I don't know..."

Just after saying two words, the man suddenly raised his hand and waved it lightly.

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a "buzz" in her head, and suddenly there were many more memories that did not belong to her.

Dean Chen didn't want to talk to you, and threw a data packet at you.
