Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1369 Earth Song

Jiuhua Mountain, Chanyue Temple.

Although many messages came from the Jade Maiden Sect every day, saying that Fairy Mengchu was secretly negotiating with Venerable Yunyi, and that Fairy Mengchu had recently started to act restlessly while Li Ruoxi was away.

However, Li Ruoxi still had no intention of leaving Jiuhua Mountain.

She also had many informants and spies in Jiuhua Mountain.

She even has people within Linglong and Shen Feiyang's factions.

She predicted that in the next few days, the focus of attention in the human world would not be on the capital, the Yunhai Sect, or the Jade Maiden Sect, but on Mount Jiuhua.

She had previously told Nun Jinghui that Venerable Yunyi was very likely to take action against Shen Feiyang recently. Although Nun Jinghui's reaction surprised her, Li Ruoxi still decided to stay and see.

It wasn't simply to win over the nun Jinghui; she also wanted to see if Master Yunyi would really dare to make a move on Mount Jiuhua.

Because Jiuhua Mountain is a sacred Buddhist site and belongs to the orthodox Buddhist lineage.

Jiuhua Mountain is not very big; it is full of ordinary people, villages, towns, and pilgrims.

The actions taken here are completely different from the last time the Buddhist sect attacked her people at the local temple dozens of miles north of Jizhou.

If something happens at Jiuhua Mountain, it will definitely not be concealed. Moreover, it is highly likely that many innocent people will lose their lives.

Li Ruoxi has now completely broken ties with the Yunhai Sect. Master Yunyi has replaced her deceased husband Zhang Qingyun and become Li Ruoxi's most powerful and troublesome enemy.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Li Ruoxi certainly wanted to get involved in this matter, perhaps even to trick Master Yunyi.

As night fell, the nun Jinghui sat cross-legged on the suspended pavilion, silently chanting scriptures and performing her evening prayers. Li Ruoxi, on the other hand, sat leaning against the edge of the pavilion's railing.

She was playing on her phone...

It's a pity there's no internet in this world. For over two thousand years, she has looked at the photos, videos, novels, music, and files on her phone countless times, and listened to the songs on them countless times.

It has to be said, this Apple phone is amazing. It was brought to this world by Li Ruoxi more than two thousand years ago, and it still works.

The battery is failing; even a full charge doesn't last more than an hour on standby. If you browse photos and videos, it will automatically shut down after about ten minutes.

This is already a result that Li Ruoxi cherishes very much.

She knew that although she could use the weapon-refining techniques of this world to charge her phone, the technological level of this world was too low, and she could not stop the decline in the phone's battery life or the aging of its electronic components.

So most of the time, she carefully kept her phone in the storage bracelet, only taking it out to play with it every now and then.

Look at the photos inside, and listen to the songs.

So that I can remember that I don't belong to this world.

Suddenly, she turned on the music on her phone.

She didn't like listening to music before, but there were seven downloaded songs on the screen.

She played a song she had listened to countless times.

As the music began, the nun Jinghui, who was meditating, slowly opened her eyes.

She knew that the thing in Li Ruoxi's hand was an item that Li Ruoxi had brought from Earth; she had seen it before at the Star Gazing Tower in the capital.

However, this was the first time in the past few days that Li Ruoxi had taken this thing out in front of her.

"I once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, to see its splendor. The heart of youth is always a little impetuous; now you call the world your home..."

This is Xu Wei's "The You of the Past".

The songs of Earth are vastly different from the tunes of this world, whether in terms of melody, lyrics, or singing style.

When Jinghui Shenni heard the unfamiliar song, she was somewhat lost in thought.

Li Ruoxi noticed Jinghui Shenni's unusual behavior, and a thought stirred in her heart.

Although she knew the phone would automatically shut down in a dozen minutes at most, she didn't care and instead turned the volume up to the maximum.

When one song ends, the next song starts playing automatically.

But Li Ruoxi then reached out and pressed the pause button.

She looked at the nun Jinghui and said, "Jinghui, this is a piece of music from the world I come from. What do you think?"

Jinghui slowly recovered from her shock and said calmly, "The melody is unique, but the lyrics are mediocre and have a worldly flavor, making it unsuitable for refined tastes."

"Hehehe, you mustn't let Xu Wei hear you say that."

"Xu Wei? Who is that?"

"That's the singer of this song. This song is very popular in our world. But you're not wrong either, in terms of lyrics, the songs in my world are far inferior to those in this world."

There's nothing we can do about it. The lyricists in my world are far less cultured than those in this world. They mostly pursue catchy, rhyming pop songs, unlike in this world, where most lyrics and music are written by well-read scholars who quote classical texts and have a strong classical feel.

By the way, listen to this song...

Li Ruoxi clicked on another song on her phone.

It's Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".

Compared to the previous song, Jinghui Shenni clearly prefers this one.

She nodded and said, "The meaning of this poem is quite good, and the melody is also nice."

Li Ruoxi smiled and said, "If I had the chance to introduce you to the composer, would you be willing? According to the timeline of Earth and this world, I haven't been away from Earth for very long."

If I can find my way back, you can come with me. This world isn't anything special for people from our world. Even the concept of cultivating immortality is abundant in movies, TV shows, and novels from our world.

However, the people of that world know nothing about our world.

Don't you want to see what another world is like?

The nun Jinghui looked at Li Ruoxi and said, "Do you really think that Benefactor Ye Feng can help you find your way back?"

Li Ruoxi looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "The alignment of the nine stars has begun, and Ye Feng has awakened his memories of his previous life at this time. This is the will of heaven and it also confirms the prophecy. I believe Ye Feng can help me find the way back, and... he should be able to find it very soon."

The nun Jinghui sighed softly.

Even someone with the cultivation level of Dugu Chan wanted to visit Earth, so why should the nun Jinghui be an exception?

On this issue, however, she leaned towards Zhang Qingyun.

She doesn't think contact between the two worlds is a good thing.

She said calmly, "Ruoxi, have you ever thought that maybe you won't live to see that day?"

"What do you mean?"

"Last time at the Star Gazing Tower, didn't you say that the timelines of the Heavenly Realm and the mortal realm are different? When the Heavenly Realm retreated, they said it would be sixty years, but that wasn't sixty years on Earth. According to the Heavenly Realm's timeline, it's exactly sixty years now. Perhaps it won't be long before the Heavenly Realm reopens the portal to Earth. There will definitely be another bloody battle then. What do you think your chances of survival are?"
