As a wisp of Shi Jian's spiritual consciousness entered the world map of mountains and rivers, after understanding everything about the world map of mountains and rivers, he began his own refining.
If one wants to leave the mural world, one needs to have a preliminary grasp of the world map of mountains and rivers, at least to the level of the Fairy of Flowers. Only then will Shi Jian be able to leave the mural world and take the world map of mountains and rivers away with him.
Calming his mind, Shi Jian began to input his true energy into the world map of mountains and rivers one by one.
As time goes by, the entire world map of mountains and rivers has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Originally, because of the battle between Shi Jian and the Fairy of Flowers, the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire in the mural world were in chaos, the mountains and rivers were broken, the rivers were backflowing, and countless essences of plants and trees were destroyed.
But as Shi Jian began to change the world map of mountains and rivers, the broken rocks in the entire world map of mountains and rivers began to quickly close together, countless grasses and trees sprouted, and even rivers flowed into the rivers. Everything was changing in an orderly manner, but Shi Jian was unaware of it.
......................................................
Beyond the mural world.
Li Yingqi has been guarding the only remaining mural. Just when Li Yingqi was sighing that he didn't know when his master would leave the mural world, things in the mural world once again underwent a huge change.
From the disappearance of the Fairy Palace to the present world of the mural, his master has burst out with amazing light. From Li Yingqi's perspective, the entire mural has closed up from the cracks, and every move of the flowers, trees, rivers and streams has become vivid.
At this moment, Li Yingqi felt something in her heart. Although she didn't know what her master had encountered in the mural world, from the changes in the murals at this moment, she could infer that her master must have done something earth-shattering.
At this moment, in Yunyang Lake, a small boat slowly approached the island in the middle of the lake, and Nie Xiaoqian and her father stepped off the boat.
During this period of time, both father and daughter have witnessed the changes in the island in the middle of the lake.
However, every time he tried to get closer, he was flatly rejected by Li Yingqi.
No one knows what the current situation is in this mural world. Li Yingqi doesn't know, so she can't take risks. As Shi Jian's disciple, it is her duty to stay here.
But I definitely won't let others get involved.
This time, Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter could not help themselves. After all, there had been no news about Shi Jian, and he was a great backer for them. However, this backer, who could be said to be their master, had been sucked into the mural for a whole month.
Instead of sitting and waiting for a long time, why not come and see the situation directly...
"Sister Yingqi, Master Zhenjun still hasn't come out of the mural world?"
Li Yingqi did not stop Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter from coming this time, because deep in her heart she told her that her master was about to turn a disaster into a blessing and successfully leave the mural world.
"Sister Xiaoqian, my master should be fine. Sister Xiaoqian, it's not safe in front of this mural. You and your father should leave first."
Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian's father sighed. How could he leave at this time?
"Ugh!
Miss Yingqi, I am already over eighty years old. As a mortal, my life is coming to an end. I have nothing to regret about this broken life, and there is nothing to cherish. As for Xiaoqian...
Xiaoqian left before me. Although she has become a ghost cultivator now, it was only because of Master Shi’s kindness that my father and I were able to meet.
Such a kindness, I really feel bad, so my father and I came here."
Nie Xiaoqian's father's words were flawless, and of course they were also spoken from his heart.
If it weren't for Shi Jian, from a righteous point of view, Pu Du Ci Hang would most likely have slaughtered all the officials of the Daqian Kingdom, and as the prime minister of the Daqian Kingdom, he would have been the first to bear the brunt.
From this perspective, Shi Jian had saved his life at that time. How could he ignore such a life-saving grace so easily?
Shi Jian had made great contributions to the country and was very kind to him. In addition, he allowed the father and daughter to meet each other. Nie Xiaoqian's father really didn't know how to repay him.
This is from his perspective...
From his daughter's perspective, Nie Xiaoqian was rescued from the tree demon grandma, and then snatched away from the Black Mountain Old Demon by Shi Jian. All these events also made his daughter bear the debt of gratitude for saving her life.
Now he is to be named the City God, and the City of the Dead in the underworld will be their territory as father and daughter. In addition, there is the name of Maoshan, so it can be said that they are enjoying all the benefits.
As a person, you can't just think about getting benefits. You have to take responsibility, especially now that their father and daughter's benefactor is trapped in the mural world.
How can I get away with it?
Li Yingqi fell silent after hearing this. Indeed, he had prevented Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter from coming to the island in the middle of the lake during this period of time, essentially hoping that they would be safe. However, this made Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter feel uneasy.
Perhaps, it would be more reassuring if they came to the island in the middle of the lake to guard it than to stay at home.
"Forget it, even though Sister Xiaoqian and Prime Minister Nie are not afraid, why should Yingqi stop them?
However, Sister Xiaoqian and Minister Nie should rest assured. In recent times, this mural world has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is likely that Yingqi’s master has displayed his divine power in the mural world.
I have felt it in my heart these past few days, and I think Master will soon be able to break free from the confinement of the mural world."
Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly. She knew some unknown secrets about Li Yingqi, but some things could not be said openly. Even Shi Jian, the master, did not tell her clearly. How could she, a female ghost under Shi Jian, talk nonsense?
"It turns out that Sister Yingqi has already felt something. She believes that Master Zhenjun will be blessed by heaven.
But from now on, my father and I will have to stay on the island with Sister Yingqi and wait for the return of the True Lord.
Otherwise, my father and I will be unable to sleep or eat well, which will not only let down Master Zhenjun, but also let down Sister Yingqi’s kindness.”
Things had come to this point, and it was impossible for Li Yingqi to refuse, and he immediately showed a long-lost smile.
"In that case, Sister Xiaoqian, please feel free to do as you please..."
After saying that, Li Yingqi didn't pay attention to anything else. He continued to close his eyes and rest, waiting for his master to appear in the end!
Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter were equally silent. They neither disturbed Li Yingqi's meditation nor approached the mural too closely. Instead, they stood far to the side, straightened their bodies, and looked forward to it...
Shi Jian knew nothing about what was happening outside the mural world.
Even if he knew, he had no interest in caring. This matter was something that Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter should handle on their own. He was not a rich landlord and had no habit of enslaving people. As long as Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter listened to him and helped Maoshan to firmly occupy the City of the Dead in the underworld, Shi Jian would not say anything more.
A breeze blew by, and the changing world fell into a rare silence. The mountains, rivers, plants, insects and animals all lived in extreme comfort during this period. As Shi Jian's eyes slightly raised, the refining of the world map of mountains and rivers also came to an end.
Like the Fairy of Flowers, Shi Jian can currently only use his true energy to forcefully activate the world map of mountains and rivers, making it easy for him to leave the mural world.
However, if Shi Jian wants to take away the World Map of Mountains and Rivers and refine it thoroughly in the true sense in the future, he still has a long way to go.
He shook his head and didn't care about anything else. It has been almost half a month since he entered the mural world. Shi Jian knew without thinking that Li Yingqi in the outside world must have been going crazy with anxiety.
He knew very well what kind of person his disciple was. As his master, if he were to encounter danger, according to Li Yingqi's personality, he would definitely be more stubborn than a donkey.
As Shi Jian slowly spread out the world map of mountains and rivers, with the movement of his ten fingers, a void of space emerged. Shi Jian stepped into it and disappeared.
Outside the mural world, the murals on the broken wall were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everything was disappearing, which attracted the attention of Li Yingqi and Nie Xiaoqian, father and daughter.
As they became extremely nervous, a void of space slowly emerged from the wall.
When Shi Jian took a step out of the space, Li Yingqi stayed where he was, tears streaming down his eyes. Li Yingqi had been waiting for this moment for nearly two months.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Li Yingqi burst into tears. After all, her master finally came back. The joy in her heart quickly dispelled the gloom.
"Humph!
Master, please don’t do this next time. I have been worried sick for the past two months. I am really afraid that you will never come back. If this happens, I will have to start my own business and make you cry to death.”
Shi Jian just smiled faintly in response to Li Yingqi's teasing and hypocrisy.
It's true that this girl is loyal and righteous. At least I accepted her as my disciple. So far, she is a pretty good person.
It's just that the mood change is a bit big. Where is this going?
It's only a month or two of sprinkling water, and your character needs to be continuously trained in the future.
"I have met the True Lord!
Lord Zhenjun is blessed with great fortune. I know that the secret of Yunyang County, which has not been solved for hundreds of years, will definitely not be difficult for Lord Zhenjun.
"Master Zhenjun, now that you have returned, I feel much more at ease. After all, the people of this world cannot live without Master Zhenjun."
As an old man in officialdom, Nie Xiaoqian's father had that flavor the moment he opened his mouth.
Shi Jian had no way to refute this, nor did he need to say anything.
"Father, look at what you are saying. Master Zhenjun is extremely powerful and has unfathomable magical powers. This is just a secret that has not been solved in Yunyang County for hundreds of years. How can it be difficult for Master Zhenjun?
However, Xiaoqian was very curious and wondered what the scene was like in this mural world.
Lord Zhenjun, can you help Xiaoqian solve the confusion in her heart..."
Nie Xiaoqian's eager eyes made Shi Jian find it difficult to refuse. Coincidentally, when these words were spoken, Li Yingqi at the side also became interested. She also wanted to know, the skill that could trap her master in the mural world for two months must be something extraordinary. If she could know something about it, it would be worth it for her to protect her master for two months.
"Master, please tell me. I want to hear it too."
Li Yingqi has not acted like a spoiled child very often, and up to now, there have been only a few such instances. If it was just Nie Xiaoqian, the old fox, Shi Jian would not have been willing to waste his words on her, but since his own disciple wanted to listen, there was no harm in talking about it.
"Ahem!
In fact, it is not as easy for me to enter this mural world this time as you think.
The entire mural world is a special magic weapon. There is an old witch in this mural world named Fairy of Flowers. She has initially mastered this magic weapon. Anyone who approaches the mural can be taken into the mural world by her using this magic weapon.
Even though I am close to the state of transformation, I still cannot stop it...
That’s why I was sucked into the mural world.”
As soon as Shi Jian said this, Li Yingqi on the side was full of doubts.
"Master, is what you said true?"
Shi Jian's mouth twitched. So this girl Li Yingqi thought that he would lie to her, right?
"When has Master ever lied? The Baihua Fairy's methods are really not simple. Even Master has been fooled by her."
"That's not right, Master. After you were sucked into the mural world, I was also dragged in by two beams of fairy light. However, I just used the flying sword bestowed by Master's spirit to strike the two beams of fairy light horizontally and vertically, and they were chopped into pieces and turned into nothingness.
Why weren't my disciples absorbed into the mural world?"
Listening to Li Yingqi's well-reasoned analysis, Shi Jian was stunned at first, and then he thought of Li Yingqi's special identity and the Tianji sword in her consciousness!
It's not surprising that the magic sword is spiritual and automatically protects its master. Before Li Yingqi's reincarnation, he was a cultivator above the level of a spirit. According to Lin Zu, it is very likely that he has reached the level of a wandering immortal!
It is conceivable how powerful the Tianji Sword would be if it was kept by a wandering immortal.
Glancing at Li Yingqi, Shi Jian sighed softly.
"Alas, Yingqi, you have a special physique, and there are some things that your master cannot tell you yet, but the methods of the Fairy of Flowers are indeed not something that ordinary people can resist.
Of course, misfortunes often go hand in hand with blessings, and blessings often go hand in hand with misfortunes. Some things cannot be simply viewed as gains or losses. Although my master was taken into the mural world by the Fairy of Flowers, he was delayed for some time.
But the harvest was also not low. Not to mention that the Fairy of Flowers was seeking her own death, after entering the mural world, the Master killed the Fairy of Flowers with thundering means!
Take this special magic weapon for example, isn't it now in my possession?"
Shi Jian did not want to reveal any more unnecessary words. The world map of mountains and rivers was of great importance, and it was better not to let them know some things, especially Nie Xiaoqian and her daughter. The man was innocent, but he was guilty of possessing a treasure. This principle not only applies to the Fairy of Flowers, but also to Shi Jian!
Although they have Mount Mao at their back, and are protected by Patriarch Lin and Patriarch Daoqing of Mount Longhu, it's always better to be careful when you're out in public.
Now that the mural world has been resolved, Shi Jian's gaze turns to Nie Xiaoqian's father. He can't continue to stay in Yunyang County for too long, and the City of the Dead in the underworld also needs someone to take over quickly.
Therefore, it is urgent to confer a title on Nie Xiaoqian's father!
