Big sister, she changed schools

Chapter 548: Barren Land

Tao Zi opened her eyes and saw the wind chimes swaying above her head.

Wait, why does that wind chime seem alive?

Before she could confirm, the wind chimes screamed with a melodious tinkling sound: "The dead are alive! The dead are alive!"

Tao Zi felt a pain in her ear, so she took out a hammer and smashed it away.

A person appeared beside the bed and caught the wind chime, then threw it onto the table behind him and said, "Finally woke up."

Tao Zi looked carefully and saw that it was his brother.

She wanted to get up, but her brother held her shoulder and said, "Rest first, let Li Xiu come and check on you."

She said, "No problem."

I was stunned when I spoke. For some reason, my throat felt uncomfortable and my voice was a little hoarse.

Cheng Wuchou sighed deeply and said, "You have been sleeping for four years."

Tao Zi's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

"How much? Four years?"

Before Cheng Wuchou could say anything, Li Xiu pushed the door open and walked in carrying a medicine box.

Tao Zi heard him mumbling before she even saw him: "Don't move, don't move, check first, Brother Cheng, please make way."

Brother Cheng?

Li Xiu has such a good relationship with his brother?

Do you have any objection to this title?

Tao Zi watched Li Xiu squeeze past Cheng Wuchou to sit next to her and began to check her physical condition.

After a careful examination, Li Xiu quickly came to the conclusion: it was nothing serious and he just needed to rest for a while.

Cheng Wuchou breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to speak: "Look at you, that ghost record has such serious side effects, how dare you use it?"

Tao Zi nodded, then asked, "What about Xi Jing, Yue Shan, and Zhao Xue? How are they doing?"

Cheng Wuchou felt a headache, and Li Xiu continued, "In the second year after you were in a coma, Yueshan and the others were taken away by the demon world and the devil world respectively. Don't get excited! Little Phoenix and Fox followed Zhao Xue away, and Shaohua followed Yueshan to the devil world, saying that he wanted to see what those people were going to do."

Tao Zi took a deep breath, knowing that they should be fine for now, and continued, "Where's Xi Jing?"

Li Xiu was silent for three seconds, and Tao Zi sat up suddenly. Cheng Wuchou was so scared that he immediately grabbed Li Xiu and threw her aside, saying to comfort her: "Xi Jing is fine, lie down quickly, you haven't moved for four years, don't worry about spraining your waist."

Tao Zi: ...

She is a cultivator, not an ordinary mortal.

Even though she was thinking this, she still lay down and continued to ask, "Where's Xi Jing?"

"Xi Jing can temporarily transform into a human body, but it's just a shadow and can't touch people. And..." Cheng Wuchou paused before continuing, "She always unconsciously mentions some people that only her past self knew, such as Sister Li, the boss lady, etc., but when Yu Niang appeared in front of her, she couldn't recognize her, she just felt familiar."

Tao Zi's expression softened and she said, "That's good enough. By the way, where is this place?"

"Desolate land."

Tao Zi was a little surprised when she heard the name, and said, "But I didn't sense a lack of spiritual energy. On the contrary, it was quite abundant."

Cheng Wuchou said: "We were taken in by the owner of the Desolate Mountain. This is one of the few places with abundant spiritual energy and far away from the Heavenly Dao." "The owner of the Desolate Mountain?"

Cheng Wuchou nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that this place used to be Sword Mountain. The owner of this desolate mountain should be related to the Sword Immortal, but no one knows what the relationship is."

Tao Zi looked at him, and considering that this was someone else's territory, she asked more evasively: "That person doesn't know either?"

"The owner of the Desolate Mountain never shows his true face. Even up to now, I have never seen him. It was always a woman who came to deliver the message."

Tao Zi frowned: "What is this person's purpose?"

Cheng Wuchou shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Xi Jing's improvement has something to do with him."

Tao Zi didn't think about it any more. There was too little information at the moment, so little that she couldn't make any analysis. She just asked, "Where's Xi Jing?"

"He went to the demon world to play."

Tao Zi's expression tensed, and Cheng Wuchou immediately said, "It's okay. The mountain master brought something over, and the Tiandao Sect can't detect it. But you can't get out."

"Ok?"

"Although the storage device and other things were quietly transferred out, your body was put together by the Tiandao Sect." Cheng Wuchou paused, and then said, "Your current body has dragon bones and even some monster meat, which caused your soul and body to be inconsistent. It may be because of this reason that you slept for so long. Of course, the biggest reason should be the Ghost Record. You and the little ghost are not strong enough to use this method."

Tao Zi was silent. She knew the reason. The Tiandao Sect had the corpse in their hands, so she really couldn't show up.

Cheng Wuchou said with emotion: "A lot of things have happened during this period. You should take a good rest first. I will tell you slowly later."

Tao Zi nodded and agreed, then said, "Now that I'm awake, I should go and pay my respects to the mountain master."

Cheng Wuchou nodded in agreement: "He may not see you, but you should go. I'll pass on the message first. It won't be too late to go after you rest for another day and can walk again."

Tao Zi denied it without hesitation: "It's better to go now, brother. I'm not an ordinary mortal, and this body is not ordinary. It's best to go there immediately while I can walk."

This is the territory of the mountain master. It would be best to be cautious and not be overconfident.

Although Cheng Wuchou always subconsciously regarded Tao Zi as someone who needed care, he also understood the truth. After confirming that Tao Zi could indeed walk normally, he agreed.

That afternoon, guided by the wind chime, Tao Zi walked towards the location of the mountain master.

Yes, that’s right, it’s the wind chime that startsled every time.

It is specifically responsible for leading the way.

There was white fog outside the room where Tao Zi was. When she lowered her head, she couldn't even see her own feet.

When the wind chimes are inside the house, the sound will guide people outside; when they are outside the house, they will lead people away from the white fog.

Tao Zi followed the ringing of the bell for almost an incense stick of time before leaving the range of the white fog.

As soon as she left the white fog, a familiar feeling came over her. For a moment, she thought she was an enhanced version of Xing Feng.

Cheng Wuchou and Li Xiu were more used to this feeling than she was. Li Xiu said, "It's okay once you get used to it."

As soon as the wind chime got here, the whole bell seemed to be useless. Not only could it not speak, it couldn't even make a tinkling sound.

At this time, a strange woman appeared in front of Tao Zi. She looked at her and said, "Miss Tao, you can call me Madam Chen. The mountain master has received the news that you woke up, but he is not in the mountain due to something. He specifically asked me to take you around to familiarize you with the environment here. Please follow me."

Tao Zi thanked him and looked at Cheng Wuchou beside her. Cheng Wuchou shook his head slightly, indicating that they did not deserve such treatment.

Li Xiu also frowned. The three of them felt that something was wrong. Why did the mountain master ask someone to take her around to see the place?
