Chapter 1458
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the girl who didn't even reach his chest. Her face still had childishness and her eyes were filled with passion. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little Fellow Cai is wrong, the person in Fellow Cai's heart …"
Xiao Hua hurriedly shut up. Li Zongbao's matter was related to the Utmost Happiness Faction's face, how could he say that?
Moreover … the matter between Li Zongbao and Cai Zhuoxia had already been destroyed along with Cai Zhuoxia's death, so he couldn't talk nonsense!
"Huh?
Isn't Fellow Fellow Xiao the same?
Could it be that there's another handsome guy? "Cai Mingxia blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Him?
He's just a rogue cultivator, even if Big Miss is willing, Family Head won't agree! "Cai Mingsong disdainfully curled his lips.
"Uncle Mingsong, this matter of dual cultivation is the matter of Big Sister's direct disciples, how can I, a concubine's disciple, say anything?
If Family Head sees Fellow Fellow Xiao's slender and elegant figure, he might even agree! "Cai Mingxia was young, but she knew a lot. She acted like an adult and spoke to Cai Mingsong.
Xiao Hua couldn't stand it and hurriedly waved his hand. "Little Fellow Cai, slender and elegant … I'm afraid it's used to describe female cultivators!"
"Fellow Fellow Xiao is so tall and slender, I think you're more suitable for Tingting than the others!" Cai Mingxia explained in a deadpan manner.
"This …" Xiao Hua was speechless and didn't know what to say. Just as Xiao Hua was feeling awkward, a dozen or so sounds of air breaking rang out from the Cai Family manor. Xiao Hua looked over and saw a dozen or so young people in the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, wearing the same clothes, flying out from the Cai Family manor!
"The sect brothers are here ~ Fellow Fellow Xiao, you have a lot of face!" Cai Mingxia said with a smile like a flower.
The dozen or so disciples landed on the ground and neatly lined up in two rows from the Cai Family's main gate all the way to Xiao Hua's front. Immediately after, the sound of a door opening could be heard and the Cai Family's main gate split into two.
Xiao Hua narrowed his eyes and looked over. The person at the front was a tenth layer Aura Refining cultivator. He was also tall and thin, with a square face. On his dark and slightly withered face, there were several deep wrinkles that showed the vicissitudes of life.
This person's eyes were extremely bright and his lips were slightly thin. At this moment, they were tightly shut, revealing a silent majesty.
Looking at the people behind him, they weren't young either, and most of them were in the ninth or tenth layer of the Qi Refining realm.
"I'm afraid it's … the head of the Cai Clan, right?"
Xiao Hua thought in his heart as he quickly walked to the middle of the Cai Family's disciples and bowed respectfully, "Junior Xiao Hua greets Senior Cai!"
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities. I am Cai Haisong. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao, for bringing back news of Zhuo Xia!" Cai Haisong's face was still unhappy as he cupped his hands and said.
"I don't dare to accept your thanks. I only met Fellow Daoist Cai by chance and received a lot of help from Fellow Daoist Cai. Sending her … news back is something I should do!" Xiao Hua said politely.
"Come, these are I's sect brothers. They are also Zhuo Xia's elders. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please get to know them!"
As Cai Haisong spoke, he waved his hand and introduced the people behind him to Xiao Hua. They were precisely Cai Shansong, Cai Fengsong, Cai Hesong, and the others.
After Xiao Hua finished greeting them one by one, he heard Cai Haisong say, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please. We'll talk in the main hall!"
"Clan Head …" Seeing Cai Haisong turn around and walk through the main door, Cai Mingsong anxiously said, "This Xiao Hua's origin is unknown. He's a loose cultivator. The matter between him and Eldest Miss … is still unclear. If we enter through the main door of the Cai Clan now, wouldn't we be giving others a reason to gossip?
In the future … what will happen to Eldest Miss … "
"Hmm?" Cai Haisong frowned slightly and glanced at Cai Mingsong in displeasure.
"Also, Clan Head, didn't Qingyang's Cai Clan send over the new rules of the Cai Clan long ago?
Unless it's the door of life and death, or the door of nobility, can't the Cai Clan's main door be easily opened to outsiders? "
"Mingsong … Luyang's Cai Clan is Luyang's Cai Clan. Why must we listen to Qingyang's Cai Clan?
Fellow Daoist Xiao brought news of Zhuo Xia. He's our Cai Clan's honored guest. If we don't open the courtyard door to welcome him, wouldn't that be lacking in etiquette? "Cai Shansong said from the side.
"Brother Shansong, isn't this little brother also thinking of our Luyang's Cai Clan?
Since we want to take Qingyang's Cai Clan as the successor, then we must follow their rules. Otherwise, how can we be the Cai Clan without proper status? "
Cai Mingsong said with a smile, "If Qingyang's Cai Clan were to know of these matters, wouldn't we be inviting trouble?"
"Huh?
What's this guy doing? "
Xiao Hua looked at Cai Mingsong in confusion. Cai Mingsong had obstructed him time and time again, but obstructing him was only to let him pass through the main door. It didn't do any harm to him!
Moreover, it was in front of the Cai Clan's Clan Head, Cai Haisong. Wasn't this brushing away the Clan Head's face?
"What if this Sect Head insists on inviting Fellow Daoist Xiao through the main door?
Could it be that Qingyang's Cai Clan wants to incriminate our Luyang's Cai Clan? "Cai Haisong sneered.
"Aiyo, I forgot!"
Xiao Hua suddenly remembered that he had killed Cai Yingxia. If he really walked through the main door, then wouldn't he … implicate Cai Haisong?
Why bother?
"This is all for the Clan Head to consider. Little brother is only reminding the Clan Head to fulfill his duty as a steward!" Cai Mingsong said with a smile.
"Forget it, Senior Cai. Junior is a rogue cultivator and not some high level cultivator. It's better to go through the side door!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said.
"No need. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please follow me!" Cai Haisong pulled on Xiao Hua's sleeve and walked towards the main door.
Seeing that they were about to reach the main door, Xiao Hua suddenly asked, "Senior Cai, if the main door isn't open, then a high level cultivator must have come to visit and wanted to open the main door. Then what about the door of life and death?"
"Oh, the door of life and death is the door of life and death … You can go through the main door!" Cai Haisong frowned and explained.
"Sigh ~" Xiao Hua gently pulled his sleeve out of Cai Haisong's hand and said with a bitter smile, "Junior originally wanted to explain it to senior in the courtyard, but since the Cai Family has its own rules, this humble Daoist will also say it in advance!"
"What??" Cai Haisong's heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"Fellow Daoists, please step aside!"
Xiao Hua said and took a few steps back. He patted his hand and took out Cai Zhuoxia's huge coffin from his storage bag. He lightly held it with one hand and solemnly placed it on the ground!
"This is …" Cai Fengsong said anxiously.
"Yes, this is Fellow Daoist Cai Zhuoxia's … coffin!" Xiao Hua said in a low voice.
"Big Sister ~" Cai Mingxia shouted from behind everyone. Her voice was already filled with sobs!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao … You're not joking?" Cai Haisong's face was slightly pale.
Xiao Hua shook his head and only used his eyes to look at the very rough coffin beside him!
"Third Brother … Take a look!" Cai Haisong said to Cai Hesong in a deep voice.
Cai Hesong walked to the front of the coffin and reached out his hand to grab a corner of the coffin. With a slight force, the coffin opened up a slit, revealing Cai Zhuoxia's lifelike face inside.
"Sigh ~" Cai Hesong saw Cai Zhuoxia's lifeless appearance and sighed as he closed the coffin.
Seeing Cai Hesong's appearance, Cai Haisong's face turned ashen. He waved his hand and said loudly, "Hesong, quickly go to the shady area of Yang Cauldron Mountain and get a willow branch for Zhuoxia to summon her soul!"
"Yes!" Cai Hesong's face was filled with grief and indignation. He stood up and was about to fly away.
Xiao Hua was stunned. He waved his hand and took out the willow branch from the storage space. He asked, "Senior Cai, this … Can this willow branch be used?"
However, when Xiao Hua took out the willow branch, he suddenly felt that something was wrong!
In the storage space behind Xiao Hua's head, with the light of Tracing Back Time, all the spirit herbs grew as fast as years. At this time, many of the spirit herbs were over a thousand years old. This willow branch had been in the storage space for many days. It was equivalent to tens or even hundreds of years in the Xiaoyu Continent. Even if it wasn't an ordinary willow branch, there should be some changes, right?
And this willow branch was exactly the same as the one Xiao Hua obtained in the auction in Yanyuan City!
"Eh?
Why does Fellow Daoist Cai have a willow branch with him? "Cai Haisong asked curiously," Could it be that it has always been with Zhuoxia's coffin? "
"Oh ~ Yes … Yes!" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned and casually answered.
"Aiyo, that's the best!"
Cai Haisong forced a smile and said, "Since it can be with Zhuoxia's coffin, it can summon her soul!
He Song, there's no need to go. You guys go in and prepare … the mourning hall! "
"Senior Cai … What's the matter with this willow branch?" Xiao Hua asked in confusion.
"Ai, my Cai Family has a rule. When a disciple dies in a foreign land, when the coffin is brought back to the Cai Family, we have to use the willow branch to summon their soul. We're afraid that the soul of the deceased will wander in a foreign land … unable to find the way back!" Cai Haisong's expression was gloomy as he looked at Cai Zhuoxia's lifelike face and said.
"En, this junior understands. How do I use it?" Xiao Hua asked.
Cai Haisong waved his hand and said, "Since this willow branch is with Zhuoxia's coffin, her soul must be nearby. Fellow Daoist Xiao only needs to wave it a few times and then casually pat Zhuoxia's body a few times!"
Then he looked into the distance and said with some gratification, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao is so fated with Zhuoxia that you actually have a willow branch with you? Maybe Zhuoxia's soul hasn't left her body yet. You can just casually summon it a few times!"
When Xiao Hua heard these words without any reason, he didn't take it seriously. The willow branch was an ordinary willow branch and the person who died in a faraway place. He used the teleportation formation to come here, so how could the soul follow him?
However, he still followed Cai Haisong's instructions and raised the willow branch in his hand. He waved it a few times on Cai Zhuoxia's coffin and then shook it a few times on Cai Zhuoxia's body!
However, something unexpected happened. When Xiao Hua waved the willow branch, a kind of life force flowed out from his space along with the movement of the willow branch. On top of the willow branch, there was a bean-sized water droplet!
This water droplet was not on the willow branch before. It was the result of being inserted into the space in the past ten days!
When Xiao Hua shook the willow branch, the water droplet slid down from the willow branch. It drew an arc in the air and directly fell between Cai Zhuoxia's eyebrows!
There was something even stranger. In the far west of the Dawn Rain Continent, in a boiling spring, there was a light figure that looked like a human but wasn't human. Its body was surrounded by a seven-colored halo and was immersed in it. Suddenly, just as the willow branch in Xiao Hua's hand danced and the power of life flowed, the light figure shot out from the spring. The seven-colored halo violently rotated, and an emotionless, ice-cold voice sounded, "Paramita????
How is this possible?
How could this thing be here?? "
Before the voice fell, a pair of wings that were dozens of feet long suddenly grew out from the seven-colored halo!
The wings seemed to have many layers, but they were very transparent and couldn't be seen clearly. The wings slightly flapped and the light figure quickly flew forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"Is that so?
Senior Cai! "In Lu Yang's Cai Family, Xiao Hua turned his head and asked.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Xiao. It is so!" Cai Haisong nodded and said.
"You're welcome!" As Xiao Hua spoke, he put the willow branch back into the space and stuck it in its original place!
In the sky in the far east, in just a short moment, the light figure had already flown over a thousand li. "Eh?
Why … can't I sense the aura of the 'Paramita'?
Could it be that my senses were wrong? "
The light figure stopped and looked in the direction of Lu Yang with hesitation. After a long while, it shook its head slightly, "The aura of the 'Paramita' is far from something that can be concealed by the space magic of the cultivation world!
Since it wasn't there before, how could it appear now?
Moreover … the 'Paramita' was destroyed long ago … it can't appear in the cultivation world! "
Immediately, the light figure turned around and flew back into the spring …
In Lu Yang's Cai Family, Cai Haisong waved his hand and shouted, "Carry the coffin into the manor!"
"Yes!"
Behind Xiao Hua, more than ten disciples of the Cai Family had tears in their eyes as they replied in unison. They walked forward and each of them grabbed a corner of the coffin and carried it into the manor!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please ~" At this moment, Cai Haisong was very polite as he invited Xiao Hua in.
Xiao Hua glanced at Cai Mingsong, who still seemed to be in a daze, and walked into the Cai Family's manor.
The Cai Family's manor was quite big. After walking through the main gate for a while, they entered the main hall. At this moment, many men and women in the manor had received the news and were rushing over with anxious expressions!
"Fellow Daoist Cai, please have some tea!" Everyone was seated in the main hall. Cai Haisong raised his hand and said.
"Many thanks, Senior Cai!" Xiao Hua politely picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Cai Hesong was somewhat anxious. Without waiting for Xiao Hua to put down the teacup, he opened his mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Zhuoxia, she … what happened to her?"
Cai Zhuoxia's death had stirred up the Flying Phoenix Ridge and the Misty Mountain, and the matter behind it was a secret between the two clans. In Xiao Hua's mind, the Misty Mountain wanted to capture him for the sake of secrecy, and if he really explained the reason behind it, it would be unavoidable for the Cai Clan to be dragged into the whirlpool. Therefore, he had already thought it through on the way here, and only talked about the matter between the two of them, and did not mention anything else!
Sure enough, when Cai Haisong and the rest heard this, they all frowned and stared at Xiao Hua with bright eyes. Although Xiao Hua's words clearly explained the cause of Cai Zhuoxia's death, but … he did not mention the location and cause of her death. How could they be at ease!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao … seems to have a lot of things that you haven't said!" Cai Mingsong asked from the side, "Also … where is the young mistress's storage bag?
Why isn't it in the coffin? "
Xiao Hua sighed. Looking at everyone's questioning eyes, he thought to himself, I didn't want to tell you all at first. I was afraid that it would involve the storage bag!
Cai Zhuoxia clearly said that the contents of the storage bag must be personally handed over to Fairy Hong Xia. There must be a reason!
But Fairy Hong Xia was in seclusion, so I had no choice but to come. This matter is a little difficult to handle!
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Cai's storage bag is in I's sleeve!"
"En, then … Fellow Daoist Xiao, please return it to my Cai Family. Zhuoxia's storage bag contains my Cai Family's ancestral yellow talisman. My Cai Family must take it back!" Cai Shansong said anxiously.
Xiao Hua still nodded and said, "Since I can return Fellow Daoist Cai's coffin, I will definitely return Fellow Daoist Cai's storage bag to the Cai Family!
But … "
"But what?" Cai Haifeng also asked curiously.
"But before Fellow Daoist Cai died, he instructed that this storage bag must be personally handed over to Fairy Hong Xia by I …"
"A bunch of nonsense!"
Cai Mingsong hurriedly jumped out and said, "This guy said earlier that he wanted to see the second young mistress. When he heard that the second young mistress was in seclusion, he said that he wanted to see the family head. Now, he wants to hand the storage bag to the second young mistress. Does he think that I can't see through the clues inside?"
"Hmph ~" Xiao Hua looked coldly at Cai Mingsong and did not explain!
"Mingsong!" Cai Haisong scolded, "You can leave now. Go out and take care of Zhuoxia's funeral!
If Fellow Daoist Xiao has other thoughts, he doesn't have to come at all!
You think too much! "
"I …" Cai Mingsong raised his neck, cupped his hands and walked out of the hall!
