Zhetian: I am the Saint of Light, and I can become an immortal by eavesdropping on my heart.

Chapter 23 Why seek Tao?

Xia Chuyi still had a dull smile on her face. After meeting Yao Xi's emotionless gaze, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and fell down.

"Boss Yao, please listen to my explanation." Xia Chuyi said to Yao Xi in a panic.

"Say." Yao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

"It's him. He asked me to kowtow! That's why I got angry and taught him a lesson." Xia Chuyi blushed and pointed at Xu Hongyun and argued.

Xu Hongyun was pointed at by Xia Chuyi and felt a slight pain in his head, making him cry even more miserably.

"Okay, stop crying." Yao Xi glanced at the crying Xu Hongyun, frowned and said.

When Xu Hongyun heard this, he didn't dare to make a sound and just sobbed quietly.

Then, Yao Xi looked at Xia Chuyi, his eyes full of disappointment, sighed, and said:

"I thought that you were still young and had never experienced the trivial matters of the world, so you all had innocent hearts."

"But now it seems that I was wrong. Power will lose everyone's heart, regardless of age."

After the words fell, Xia Chu was startled one by one, with a dull look in his eyes.Although Yao Xi didn't do anything, he was inexplicably afraid.

"Zheng!"

Yao Xi stretched out his palm, put two fingers together, flicked the blade of the Dragon Sword lightly, and commanded:
"Old Jiao, don't hurt his bones."

The dragon sword trembled slightly, indicating that it was ordered.

A gleaming brilliance circulated on the sword, and with a whoosh, it rushed towards Xia Chuyi, circling around his body, sensing it, and determining the strength of the attack.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the back of the dragon sword slammed into Xia Chuyi's body. The force was enough to break stones.

"what!"

Xia Chuyi jumped and rolled on the spot in pain, screaming.

"Boss Yao, I was wrong!"

"what!"

"Boss Yao, let me go!"

"what!"

Xia Chuyi dodged the long sword and screamed as the rat hugged his head, while he kept begging Yao Xi for mercy.

Yao Xi turned a deaf ear to Xia Chuyi's begging for mercy. He took out the large medicine cauldron from the white jade bracelet and shrank it to the size of an iron pot.

He waved over two bundles of firewood, took out some and stuffed it under the medicine cauldron.

"Wow!"

A small flame suddenly appeared on Yao Xi's fingertips, emitting high temperature and swaying unsteadily. She threw the flame on the firewood, and a fire instantly ignited under the medicine cauldron.

Then, Yao Xi made a secret gesture with his hands, making unpredictable changes, and whispered in his mouth:

"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the rain is coming!"

"Xixi~"

As soon as Yao Xi cast his spell, light rain suddenly began to fall in a small area above the medicine cauldron, and it accurately fell into the medicine cauldron. The raindrops hit the medicine cauldron and made a tinkling sound.

"Come here." Yao Xi glanced at Xu Hongyun, who was standing there not knowing what to do, a little panicked, and waved.

When Xu Hongyun heard this, he trembled violently and walked cautiously in front of Yao Xi.

He couldn't even defeat the evil force Xia Chuyi who was screaming not far away, let alone Yao Xi who suppressed Xia Chuyi with his backhand.

"Boss Yao." Xu Hongyun stood in front of Yao Xi and said with a flattering smile.

Yao Xi smiled, pointed to the open space opposite Xu Hongyun, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Don't be so formal. I'm not a savage beast."

After Xu Hongyun sat down, Yao Xi continued:
"I saved you today because I was entrusted by others."

"That man had nothing to ask for before he died. He only hoped that you could enter the Jinxia Cave."

"Can it be done?"

"Yes!" Xu Hong nodded vigorously.His free thoughts were much more delicate. He had some vague suspicions about the dying person in Yao Xi's mouth. Even if he left aside that person, he still had to express it just because Yao Xi had just saved his life.

"Yeah." Yao Xi nodded, not surprised by the result.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge white lion paw appeared in front of Xu Hongyun.

"call out!"

Immediately afterwards, a golden dart was stuck next to the lion's claw.

"Cut off the fur on the lion's claws and skewer the meat." Yao Xi ordered Xu Hongyun.

That lion's claw was the same claw that Tian Yuanfeng chopped off.

Xu Hongyun looked at the huge claw in front of him and was shocked. He couldn't imagine how strong the owner of the claw was.

After coming to his senses, he picked up the golden dart and started working.

Yao Xi casually took out some rare herbs prepared by the royal family for her, threw them into the pot, and used them to make soup.

Then, she picked up some firewood, and a golden dart also appeared in her hand.

"Shh!"

A purple-gold light flashed, and the firewood in Yao Xi's hand turned into wooden sticks.

Yao Xi glanced around the field to make sure there were no loopholes, and then turned his attention to Xia Chuyi, who was lying on the ground not far away and curled up in a ball. From the latter's mouth, bursts of ghostly cries and wolf howls came out.

"Old Jiao." Yao Xi opened his mouth and shouted softly.

The dragon sword that was loosening Xia Chuyi's bones with the back of the sword suddenly stagnated, then turned into a bolt of lightning and flew to Yao Xi's side.

"what?"

There was no more pain in his body, and Xia Chuyi opened his eyes a little in surprise.

After confirming that the sword was really gone, Xia Chuyi's face showed joy and he laughed.

He knew that Yao Xi's punishment was over.

After lying on the ground for a while and regaining some strength, Xia Chuyi struggled to stand up and limped towards Yao Xi, who was staring at him.

"Hey, Boss Yao, are you not angry anymore?" Xia Chuyi walked in front of Yao Xi and said with a smile.

Then, he patted his chest with a serious face, and assured Yao Xi:

"Boss Yao."

"Don't worry, I will never bully my great-grandson again!"

Yao Xi looked at Xia Chuyi, who had a bruised nose and face, and then glanced at a few messy straws stuck in his hair. In line with his righteous expression at this time, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly, and he was speechless.

After pondering for a moment, Yao Xi said seriously to Xia Chuyi with a straight face: "Kowtow, let me ask you a question."

Looking at Yao Xi's expression at this time, Xia Chuyi also knew that Yao Xi's next question would be crucial. He couldn't help but straighten his body, waiting for Yao Xi to speak.

However, when he heard that Yao Xi still asked him to kowtow, Xia Chuyi felt a little helpless. He did this again and again, and he didn't bother to correct it.

"Why did you worship in Jinxia Cave to seek enlightenment?" Yao Xi looked into Xia Chuyi's eyes and said slowly.

"Ah?" Xia Chuyi felt a little confused after hearing what he said, but after thinking for a moment, he replied to Yao Xi:

"When I was little, I always liked to go to Fang Jie Wa."

"One night, my father and mother were arguing. I was upset, so I climbed up to the roof and counted the stars."

"But, that night, I accidentally saw a flying immortal with a sword passing above my head."

"Since then, I have been yearning for immortals. I begged my parents to participate in the Dongtian Paradise disciple recruitment conference in Yandi."

Yao Xi listened quietly to Xia Chuyi's words, shook his head, turned around and left, sighing:

"The answer is wrong."

"When you know why you are seeking the Tao, you will open up the sea of ​​suffering."

　Good night everyone, sweet dreams
