Chapter 444 Learning the Shattering Blade Fan
"What are you looking at?" the mirror image asked.
Bai Lingshan shook her head; it felt like someone had helped her up.
Looking back at the two, the pale-faced Ah Tao was furious and picked up a broom, but only walked to the broken bowl. The dark-faced Ah Ci also cursed a few times and then tidied up the table and chairs that they had messed up.
Is this the end?
Bai Lingshan wasn't surprised. These two always had a quick argument and it was over quickly. Now that everything was fine, she went back to the guest room on the second floor with Jingying.
At that moment, a young man appeared in the shop. He was wearing a black cloak and moved mysteriously. When the shopkeeper looked at him, he quietly said, "Check-in."
……
After returning to her room, Bai Lingshan had nothing to do. She sat at the table for a while and then prepared lunch for herself.
Who doesn't get tired of instant noodles?
"I'm already getting a little tired of it after only two weeks."
When I tore open a package and saw the dough, all I could think of was complaining.
Back then, when the ceramic brothers were arguing, she mentioned cabbage, which she really wanted to eat. But every time she thought about asking, she would think that they would argue about it, so she could only swallow her words again and again.
Looking at the freshly cooked instant noodles, it's hard to imagine what I would think if I saw them again after eating them for half a year.
Perhaps they never want to see each other again.
Just then, the little bell tied to the door rang crisply. She thought the boss wanted to see her, so she ran to open the door. But there was no one outside, only the little bell returning to stillness.
"Isn't he the boss?" Mirror asked as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Bai Lingshan looked around carefully again, closed the door, and sat back down on the stool. "No one's here. Maybe it's just windy."
"wind?"
For the past two weeks, the door bell has only rung when the owner knocks. Today, the wind outside is the same as usual, but the wind inside the store is stronger.
Ok.
It seemed as if there was always a breeze around her, including the period before and after that illusion.
Bai Lingshan put down her chopsticks and asked Jingying, "When we were down there, did you see anyone else besides us?"
"What do you mean?" Mirror Image asked thoughtfully.
She wasn't sure how to say it, so she simply told her about the time she stepped on a piece of bowl: "It was really strange, I was about to slip and fall, but somehow I managed to stand up again."
Mirror's expression suddenly turned strange. She was shocked and helpless: "What's so strange about that? People with good skills naturally have good balance. Your mind may think you're about to fall, but your body has the reaction to maintain balance at any time."
"..."
Is it an instinctive reaction?
Or is it that instinctive reaction that makes her feel like she's sticking something on herself, a form of self-deception?
Oh, that makes sense, otherwise why would she have this misconception?
"Is this a well-intentioned lie that the brain tells to keep up with the body's instinctive reactions?"
"Huh?" Mirror Image was confused. "What do you mean by brain, body, and lies? Master, I don't understand."
Bai Lingshan immediately shook her head; how could she possibly go into such an embarrassing situation?
"It's nothing, I'll eat first, then I'll practice my fan skills properly later."
"...Alright then."
After resting after the meal, Bai Lingshan took out the broken blade fan again. In order to practice better here, she specially found a wooden board outside. The half-meter-wide square board had a dot drawn with charcoal ash on it. She could complete the practice by swinging the fan to hit the target.
The number of talismans to be collected here is unclear. If she secretly summons the Book of Featherfall every time, she will be discovered sooner or later. She doesn't want to cause trouble; she just wants to collect them peacefully and then go back.
Using the Shattered Blade Fan doesn't require summoning the Featherfall Book, nor is it exposed to everyone like the Willow Leaf Demon Blade. Therefore, it is indeed the best tool for her to collect talismans in Willow Flower Plain.
But as she swung her fan more and more, she noticed a strange phenomenon: the second wave was not as accurate as the first, and the tenth wave was not as good as the fifth.
What's with this "the more I practice, the more unbalanced my practice becomes" nonsense?
Is she not suited to practice this? Perhaps she's getting tired of it, because her anger is clearly visible on her face.
call out!
Three crystal blades flew together, brushing past the girl's cheek in the mirror.
Mirror Image touched her bangs in disbelief and found several severed hairs coming out...
In an instant, her face filled with terror, she could barely speak: "Master...Master...If we don't want to practice, we can rest first. There's no need to kill spirits."
"..."
The reflection of the person sitting by the window watching the snow was two meters away from where she had placed the wooden plank, and she was indeed aiming at the center of that plank.
Bai Lingshan smiled sheepishly, feeling quite ashamed: "I really was just aiming at the markings on the wooden board, or... you could go somewhere else."
Do you believe it?
Mirror Shadow turned her head and snorted coldly, then closed the window and went to the bedside.
The wooden plank and the bed were no longer just a matter of distance; they were not even facing the same direction. If she could still be accidentally injured, it must have been intentional on her part.
"Calling me 'Little Grass Knife' is rude."
She heard a sound in her ear, and the small razor blade she had just thrown out spun ninety degrees in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Mirror's expression changed drastically. Dark light enveloped her entire body, and the blade that had flown towards her disappeared along with her.
"Master, you practice hard, I'm going out for a walk."
"..."
Her words were utterly silent, echoing in the room. The willow leaf mark on her left ear was still shimmering, and she felt waves of heat.
The voice appeared again: "You're quick on your feet, so this is the one who called me 'Little Grass Knife'..."
"Mute".
A silent thought cut off the spirit's words, leaving her and the Star Guardian Cat alone. She turned her attention back to the bullseye on the wooden board.
Concentrating, he swung his sword, and the crystal blade, which had flown three meters, instantly embedded itself in the wall outside the wooden plank.
……
The kitten looked up and down without making a sound, and Bai Lingshan also repeated her previous actions after a period of silence.
The snow outside the window stopped and started again, rabbits hopped and skipped along the road, but Bai Lingshan had only one target in mind: aim, aim again.
She hadn't hit the target even after Mirror Image returned from her walk.
"It's alright, Master, you can continue. I'll wait at the door for a while."
Bai Lingshan has given up: "I'm not practicing today, I'll practice tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go out again tomorrow."
……
In the days that followed, whenever Bai Lingshan took out the Broken Blade Fan, she would leave under various pretexts. The instant noodle boxes she saw every morning when she woke up also gave her the courage to ask Bai Cai about it.
So, she found an opportunity after the two bosses had separated from each other during their argument and asked the dark-faced Ah Ci a question.
In the end, I only asked the question once.
She learned that although human vegetables could not be grown here, a demon sister had once given her a piece of land that could permanently nourish human vegetables. As long as she planted vegetable seeds and watered them regularly, she could successfully grow them.
"Can humans drink the water here?" she asked.
Black-faced Aci said that the water here was not compatible with the human body; drinking it would not kill them but would cause them to mutate. However, humans could indeed eat the cabbages here, because the land where the cabbages were grown could automatically filter them.
Is it really that amazing?
