Chapter 866 Goodbye Xi Qianxue (2 More)
the next day.
Mu Qingge was alone, and with the post sent by the temple, he walked towards the unusual building in the center of Sky City.
If Sky City is above the clouds, then the temple, and the symbolic spire, are above the clouds. Around the temple, clouds and mist shrouded it, and those without approval could not approach at all.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is full of silence and solemnity.
Just as Mu Qingge walked up the steps to the gate, she was stopped by two servants. The god attendant guarding the gate crossed the long soldiers in his hands to block the way.
"Who is approaching!" One of them said sharply.
Mu Qingge glanced at them, and saw their realm in his eyes. ‘With the cultivation base of the second floor of the Golden Realm, come to guard the gate? This temple is really rich and powerful, with a profound heritage! '
Mu Qingge took out the post sent to Bieyuan yesterday and handed it to the two of them.
Seeing the post with the temple logo on it, the two god servants withdrew their weapons.
One of them took it, opened it, and examined it carefully. When they saw the words Mu Qingge written on it, both of them couldn't help showing surprised expressions.
Closing the post in his hand, the servant restrained his serious expression, and said politely: "So it's City Lord Mu."
He handed the post back to Mu Qingge, made way with his companions, and said to Mu Qingge: "City Master Mu, please. After entering, there will be a spirit magpie to lead the way and take you to see Lord Shenzun."
"Thank you." Mu Qingge nodded, took a step, and stepped into the temple.
Her figure disappeared into the mist, and when she was out of sight, the two guards at the gate started talking in a low voice.
"It is said that City Lord Mu of Falling Star City has a peerless and invincible appearance. When I saw him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"If I wasn't on duty today and ran into her elsewhere, I'm afraid I'd be unable to control myself and mess up my mood."
"Oh, this City Lord Mu is not an ordinary woman. If you are moved, you may not know how you died."
"Shh, don't say it. If someone listens to it, you and I will probably be punished."
When Mu Qingge walked out of the mist, she heard the cry of magpies. She looked up, and sure enough, she saw a golden magpie flying towards her.
The magpie was only the size of a palm, golden in color, with a holy light, a pair of eyes, very alert, very understanding of humanity.
It came towards Mu Qingge, hovering above her head, as if beckoning her to follow it.
This aura-filled little guy made Mu Qingge smile. "Lao Lingque is leading the way."
After she finished speaking, the spirit magpie seemed to understand it, called twice briskly, and flapped its wings towards the front.
Mu Qingge stepped out and followed behind it.
Lingque's speed is not fast, it seems to be deliberately matching Mu Qingge's speed. If Mu Qingge walks faster, it will fly faster, if it walks slower, it will fly slower.
Occasionally, the little magpie would turn its head, look at Mu Qingge, and chatter.
With such a lively appearance, Mu Qingge couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, she also sighed in her heart, 'Who would have thought that this place, full of aura and holiness, would do some invisible things in secret? '
She may not know about other things.
However, judging from the several times the temple chased her down, she can conclude that this temple is far from being as holy, flawless and impartial as it appears in front of the world.
Lingmagpie, lead the way ahead.
Mu Qingge followed behind, looking around from the corner of her eyes from time to time, sizing up the environment of the temple.
The temple in Zhongzhou Sky City is different from other places. The temples in other prefectures are always overcrowded, and they look like they are friendly to the people, but here...
Mu Qingge walked for a long time, not to mention seeing ordinary people, even people in the temple were rarely seen. Occasionally, there were a few figures passing by from a distance, separated by lingering clouds and mist, they could not be seen clearly.
However, I don't know if it's because the red dress on her body is more conspicuous, but she can sense that those people passing by in the distance are looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
After passing through a large building, the magpie led her to a pontoon bridge that looked like a maze. This pontoon bridge has more than one entrance and exit. It is connected by pontoon bridges on the huge lake. If there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid that I really don't know how to get out.
Mu Qingge walked onto the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was actually made of spiritual stones, and the spiritual power emanating from it was very energetic and refreshing.
Mu Qingge murmured in her heart: "The temple is really a temple. Others are hiding spirit stones, but they are actually used as building materials." '
The low-key luxury in this temple makes her heart itch. She really wants to move all these floating bridges into her own space!
"Twitter!" Ling Que yelled at Mu Qingge a few times.
It seemed that she was urging her to leave quickly and not to linger here.
Mu Qingge smiled awkwardly, restrained her mind, and quickened her pace.
Following Ling Que around on the pontoon bridge, Mu Qingge suddenly realized that she had already reached the center of the lake. There were intricate pontoon bridges in front of and behind her, and the entrance she had come in before was no longer visible.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows and continued walking.
...
The pontoon bridge of the temple is a channel connecting the temple and the island in the center of the lake. Anyone who wants to go to the island in the middle of the lake to meet the gods must pass through this pontoon maze.
From the other direction, Xi Qianxue walked slowly.
Behind her, followed by two maids.
If Mu Qingge saw these two people, they would definitely be no strangers. They were the two maidservants who followed Xi Qianxue to Fusha City, Xizhou.
One of them was deceived by Mu Qingge.
"Goddess, why didn't the gods let you go back to Xi's house, and only allowed you to walk around in the temple?" Wu'er asked curiously.
Her question made Liu'er curious, and looked at Xi Qianxue.
Xi Qianxue paused, her eyes were a little lost.
She has been grounded for several years. Because of what, she knew in her heart, her master, noticed that she was moved by Fanxin, and even thought that the person she liked was Wei Moli.
And in order to protect Mu Qingge, she had no choice but to make mistakes and acquiesce.
However, she also secretly sent a letter to Wei Moli, who also sent a letter to her, saying that he was willing to cooperate.
These, that's all.
There is no future between her and Mu Qingge, it is good to stay in Central Continent to practice hard, at least it will allow her to practice in peace. However, in the past six months, she felt that her master was more and more strange.
This kind of strangeness is the attitude towards her, which makes her feel a little inexplicably afraid when she is alone.
She felt that the eyes of her master became a little scary when she looked at her, as if something was about to break through the ground.
Thinking of the eyes of the god, Xi Qianxue's shoulders trembled unconsciously.
"Goddess, what's the matter with you?" Sensing Xi Qianxue's strangeness, Liu'er hurriedly asked.
Wu'er also said with concern: "Do you feel cold? This servant will go back and get you a shawl."
"No need." Xi Qianxue shook her head, preventing Wu'er from returning.
She took a deep breath, collected herself, and said with her head held high, "Let's go, go see the master first, and then go back to practice." In the temple, every three days, she would come to greet the god, Today is just the third day.
Her words made Wu'er and Liu'er not dare to say any more, and they quickened their pace to follow behind her.
Ahead, there is a turning. After passing there, walk a little further, and you will be able to enter the island in the center of the lake. However, just as she turned around, she almost collided with someone from the other side.
The imposing manner on the other side caused her to withdraw her steps when she was about to make contact, controlling the distance between them.
"Qian...it turns out to be a goddess." Mu Qingge was also very surprised to see Xi Qianxue for the first time. The words she blurted out were originally 'Qianxue', a title that had long been used to in the ancient battlefield of gods and demons. However, before she could completely blurt out her words, she thought that this is a temple with eyes and ears all around, if she showed too much familiarity with Xi Qianxue, she might cause trouble for Xi Qianxue. So, she temporarily changed her words again.
A familiar voice entered my ears.
Xi Qianxue suddenly raised her head and saw Mu Qingge's face, and immediately, she froze in place.
She had never seen Mu Qingge in women's clothing. Seeing it suddenly now, she was a little at a loss, but the longing in her heart came flooding in like a tide.
She tried her best not to lose her composure, but she couldn't hide the slight trembling of her fingers hidden in her cuffs.
Although Xi Qianxue's expression didn't seem to change much, her eyes were full of excitement and complicated emotions. She took a few deep breaths, tried to calm herself down, smiled lightly, and said, "Master Mu, why are you here?"
She was a little worried, whether Mu Qingge's appearance here might have something to do with her, and whether her master saw something.
Mu Qingge also smiled faintly, "I just entered Zhongzhou the day before yesterday, and was invited by the gods, so I came here today to pay my respects."
"I see." Xi Qianxue maintained the smile on the corner of her mouth, looking polite but distant. Outsiders will not feel that they have any relationship when they see each other.
Xi Qianxue raised her eyes to look at Ling Que who was leading the way in front of Mu Qingge, and with a wave of her hand, Ling Que flew away from Mu Qingge's sight.
Mu Qingge's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak.
Xi Qianxue explained, "I also happen to be going to see Master, why don't I take you there." After finishing speaking, she turned to Wu'er and Liu'er and said, "You two go back first."
Wu'er and Liu'er looked at each other, bowed to Xi Qianxue, and stepped back.
After that, only Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue were left.
When they met again, even though they had changed into women's clothes, the awkward atmosphere between the two still existed.
But Mu Qingge didn't understand, why did Xi Qianxue deliberately distract the people around her?
"City Lord Mu, let's go." Xi Qianxue walked to Mu Qingge's side, restrained the excitement in her eyes, and also resolved the embarrassing atmosphere between the two.
Mu Qingge nodded and walked side by side with her.
‘Why did my master suddenly summon you? ’ Xi Qianxue suddenly sent a voice transmission to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow.
There was no one around here, only the two of them, but Xi Qianxue still transmitted the voice to her. It seems that the eyes and ears in this temple are more complicated than she imagined.
