Yuancao just didn't want to talk negatively about the senior teacher Jie, and in fact, she had nothing to do with the Long Eared Immortal. Even during her time at the Green Jade Palace, this dead rabbit always teased her, using sarcastic and mocking words to the extreme. Because of this, Yuancao even fought a battle with Long Eared Immortal.
She also wanted to know what Long Eared Immortal was doing in this tomb where not even birds or chickens could be found.
But it was just that she lacked in experience and insight, had no experience in dealing with such issues, and also lacked the power to break the deadlock.
She seems to have "entered the industry" earlier, but in reality, she is like Xiao Wu, both of them being mature children. If Laozha asked her, he would be asking to a blind person.
Nezha had a hunch that there was something wrong with Long Eared Immortal. As long as he chased after him, whatever plots or inner matters would be revealed. However, he also feared that he had been tricked into deviating from the enemy's plan.
At this moment, he was extremely envious of Deng ChanYu's ability to casually open a space passage. If he had that ability, he could send Xiao Wu and Yuan Xiao back right now. Alone, he would not fear any traps set by Long Eared Immortal.
The problem is that he doesn't have Deng ChanYu's ability. If he were to send Xiao Wu and Yuan Xiao back to the Iron Crane Mountain or to Princess Lady Immortal, and then return, it would be very time-consuming.
What should he do?
Just as he was preparing to give up the pursuit, Shi Ji suddenly emerged from the shadows.
This Jie teacher has been following them from behind.
She is a mortal who has attained enlightenment through hardship and has the natural ability to compress her essence to the extreme. Other immortals may still need to cultivate special techniques to lower their existence until they are almost invisible, like a grass or a stone, but she does not need such techniques because she was originally a mortal that could easily be ignored.
Both she and Nezha are at the level of Golden Immortal, with no aura of violence and an extremely low presence. So low, in fact, that Nezha had no idea he was being followed. This discovery was somewhat irritating to him.
"Li Jia San Lang, this Buddha bestows upon me the task of protecting these two little guys. How does that sound?" Shi Ji asked.
Nezha didn't answer immediately but instead scrutinized Shi Ji carefully.
Nezha himself had practiced the Jiu, Ba, Xuan exercises, though not as deeply as Yang Jian, but he had entered the realm. Deng ChanYu often reminded her close friends and relatives to be cautious of being deceived by enemies using transformation techniques. Having heard this repeatedly, Nezha also developed a sense of vigilance in this regard.
At this time, he was very cautious in examining Shi Ji, and only after ten breaths did he determine that the sudden female immortal was indeed Shi Ji Niang Niang, who he disliked.
"Having the Buddha look after them is definitely good. Well, that's settled. They're in your care."
"Okay."
The senior branch of the Xuanmen could call Deng ChanYu brother, but the outer branch had no such right. Shi Ji's outer branch had gone way out, and Deng ChanYu referred to her as a fellow Daoist when they spoke. Now Nezha used the common "nai nai" title.
Shi Ji lightly nodded and then sat in meditation in place.
Nezha gave Xiao Wu and Yuan Xiao a wink, indicating that if they truly reached a critical moment, they should use their respective bottom cards to ensure their safety. Holding the Long Fire Gun, he followed the previous rabbit hole trail to chase after Long Eared Immortal.
Xiao Wu looked worriedly at her family tutor. As expected, after Nezha walked away, Shi Ji took out two sets of desk furniture and some ink, paper, and inkstones. Yuan Xiao was full of astonishment, pointing at herself with fingers as thick as carrots, indicating whether she was included as well?
Shi Ji lightly nodded her head, and then put away her treasure, the Ba Gua Yun Guang Pash. A myriad of golden lights flashed, driving the ominous qi from the specters of the tomb to a hundred zhang beyond.
Shi Ji gestured for them to sit down.
"The lesson for today hasn't been completed yet, we will continue with the second half of 'Heavenly Born, Heavenly Struck, This is the Principle of the Dao': Yuan Xiao can also listen in if she has no other matters to attend to."
Yuan Xiao's big head nodded continuously. Such a ghost place, she dare not wander around at will.
Shi Ji perfectly exemplified the saying that diligence can compensate for lack of talent. She did not delay for a moment and began teaching right inside the tomb of Houji, amidst a group of evil spirits peering at her from a distance!
Xiao Wu looked worried, it seemed like Shi Ji was really and truly here. It was a fake Shi Ji who would definitely not come to torment himself.
Especially when she heard Shi Ji say that today's lesson would be doubled and so would the homework, she sincerely hoped this was a fake Shi Ji.
She occasionally poked Yuan Xiao's stomach with her finger, hoping that, due to the years of friendship, Yuan Xiao would help her write the homework because she truly couldn't do it alone.
Yuan Xiao gently shook her head. Even if she were an iron-eating beast, she knew that the homework still needed to be written by herself, right?
"Don't look around, Miss Wu."
"Yes!"
Shi Ji's lesson was as rigid as she was. She would read it once, explain it, then read it again, and explain it again.
There was no fun, no organization, and no time for a break in between. However, in the Hongxia period, the teaching method of master and apprentice was basically this pattern, which can be said to be a method of teaching inherited from Hongwen.
I'll teach you, and you just need to memorize it in one go. When you can understand it, that depends on your own spiritual path.
Just as she finished a paragraph and was about to move on to the next, the Ba Gua Yun Guang Pash's upper side flickered with several Ba Gua symbols. Golden light shone, and the light gradually grew stronger. Shi Ji knew someone was trying to break into her Ba Gua Yun Ya array, so she immediately put down her sutras and turned to look at the side.
A figure emerged from the shadows, not Nezha but Long Eared Immortal who was pursued by Nezha.
"Oh? The little sister is also here? That's a coincidence. If I calculate it, it's been decades since I've seen the little sister. The White Bone Cave on Skeleton Hill is really quite remote. Sister, please heed my advice and move your cave to the East Sea. On a daily basis, be close to all the senior brothers and sisters, which will also be beneficial for your path."
Long Eared Immortal stood ten li away from the three of them, full of enthusiasm, talking nonstop.
Xiao Wu saw the enemy appear and immediately took out the Xuan Yuan Controlled Water Flag from her sleeve. At the same time, she tightly gripped her left hand, her palm holding a true killer move - a strike of the Huan Chong Bell's three-fold power. This was created by Deng ChanYu using her mastery of array magic and divine script knowledge, combined with some techniques from the Wiccan tribe's tattoos.
Below Saint's realm, it's basically one move to kill the enemy, or at least seriously injure them.
She looked at Long Eared Immortal, then at Shi Ji, as if to say that this man who didn't look like a good guy seemed to have a fairly good relationship with her family tutor?
Shi Ji looked at Long Eared Immortal and asked directly, "Brother, what brings you here? If it's to catch up, there's no need. If it's to kidnap someone, then let me know about my sword."
Long Eared Immortal laughed lightly, "Haha, younger sister, you're too harsh. We are both of the Jie School."
Shi Ji remained unmoved, "I only know that I am entrusted by someone and I will fulfill my duty."
