Chapter 297 Dating (3)
Chu Xiaomu heard Jinglan say this, and he didn't expect that there were so many things behind the peaceful days of the past few days. Zhou Bo's high expectations of him were even more unexpected. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and stood behind Jinglan at a loss.
Jinglan sat on the grass, waved to him, and said, "Brother Xiaomu, sit down and talk to me."
Chu Xiaomu sat next to her as she said, but didn't dare to get too close.
Jinglan mentioned her leg disease again and said, "Brother Xiaomu, have you always been curious about why I suddenly got a leg disease?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "There are many strange diseases in the world. I heard from the general that your leg disease should be caused by the damage to your spirit body."
Jinglan said: "I have also heard about the spiritual body. It is very difficult for ordinary people to cultivate spiritual power, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a pure spiritual body. I have never understood why my spiritual body was suddenly damaged and I couldn't walk when I was fine. Until... until..."
Chu Xiaomu heard her hesitation and asked, "Until what?"
Jinglan's breathing began to become a little rapid, and she seemed reluctant to speak out. In the end, she seemed to have finally made up her mind and said intermittently: "Until I saw...saw my father...he was...he was secretly practicing...spiritual power..."
Chu Xiaomu thought that Bicheng only banned the use of spiritual inquiry, but did not ban the cultivation of spiritual power. Your father is one of the five major armies of Bicheng, and it is normal for him to want to cultivate his spiritual body to improve his abilities. Why make such a fuss? So he said, "It's nothing. What's wrong?"
Jinglan said in a trembling voice: "But he...seems to be using...seems to be the spirit-asking technique that the general has strictly prohibited."
Chu Xiaomu was horrified and said, "You mean, your father... Zhou Zhongjun, is using the soul-asking technique to cultivate spiritual power?!"
Jinglan said: "I don't know how to ask spiritual questions, but I accidentally read an ancient book that my father left on the table, and then I realized that my father... my father should be using a forbidden technique."
Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized why Jinglan suddenly had a strange leg disease. The reason should be that Zhou Bo provoked the evil spirit when he used the spirit-asking technique. The evil spirit did evil in the spirit realm and thus hurt Jinglan's spirit body. However, he did not understand how the evil spirit hurt Jinglan, who had not cultivated a pure spirit body, and why the evil spirit could not hurt the spirit bodies of ordinary people when they did not enter the spirit realm.
Chu Xiaomu said anxiously: "The spiritual realm is the most dangerous place. We must tell Zhou Zhongjun immediately...your father must not use the spirit-asking technique again!"
Jinglan shook her head and said, "You know my father's temper. No matter what he does, he will never give up easily. But I found that he seems to be more secretive in cultivating his spiritual power now, and he always stays far away..."
Chu Xiaomu said: "Then let's quickly tell the general. If the general tells him not to refine his spirit, he will definitely listen."
Jinglan suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Xiaomu's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Brother Xiaomu, you must not tell the general about this. Bicheng has a clear ban on the use of spiritual arts. If the general knew that father used forbidden arts, it would be a small matter to dismiss him from his post, and he might even be driven out of Bicheng."
Chu Xiaomu was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Then...what should I do..."
Jinglan said, "I only told you about this. I didn't tell anyone else. I just hope that father can turn back from his wrong path and not continue to make mistakes. What if... what if he... Brother Xiaomu, you will definitely have a way, right?"
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I am just a young boy, just an insignificant pawn in the Nanding Army. Your father is the commander of the Central Army, and he is extremely stubborn. If he wants to use the soul-asking technique to refine the spirit, what can I do? However, he couldn't tell Jinglan directly, so he said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to ask Zhou Zhongjun to stop using the forbidden technique."
The two chatted for a while, and they couldn't understand why the stubborn Zhou Bo would use forbidden techniques to refine his spirit. When Xiao Zhenrong asked Chu Xiaomu to help find herbs to treat Jinglan's leg disease, he mentioned using the spirit-asking technique to find the medicine. Zhou Bo strongly opposed it at the time, and it didn't seem like he was being pretentious. Chu Xiaomu comforted Jinglan and said, "Maybe you saw it wrong. Zhou Zhongjun didn't use forbidden techniques to cultivate his spirit power. It should just be similar."
Jinglan sighed and said, "I hope so." She stared into the distance to the west, lost in thought. Chu Xiaomu also looked to the west, but saw nothing but a gray haze.
Jinglan suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaomu, is Baihua Island over there?"
Chu Xiaomu was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned Baihua Island, and said, "It's far to the west."
“How far is far?”
"I don't know either, it should be several thousand miles. When we came to Xihai City in Cangmu Country, we traveled on the sea for more than fifty days."
"Your hometown is called Baihua Island. There must be a lot of flowers there. It must be very beautiful, right?"
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "There are indeed a lot of flowers there, and different flowers bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are chrysanthemums, coral flowers, goldenrod, and pearl flowers... There are so many, I have planted some in front of my house. But the flowers in Bicheng are rarely seen in Baihua Island."
Jinglan seemed quite fascinated and said, "It sounds beautiful. I really want to go and see it..."
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "Next time I go back, I can take you with me."
Jinglan blushed and didn't respond.
Chu Xiaomu continued, "It's a pity that Bicheng doesn't have any ships that can go out to sea. It's really not easy to find a large ship that can sail thousands of miles in the ocean. I heard from Master Huang that the boatmen are unwilling to go out to sea so far because it's too dangerous."
Jinglan was silent for a while, then said, "Father wouldn't allow me to go to such a far place."
Chu Xiaomu said nothing.
Jinglan added, "I heard that Sister Flower Fairy lives on Baihua Island. My father said that her spirit-seeking skills are the most powerful. Brother Xiaomu, have you seen her?"
Chu Xiaomu was slightly surprised, thinking, how do you know that Sister Flower Fairy is on Baihua Island? And how do you know that her soul-asking technique is so powerful? Then he thought, yes, Zhou Zhongjun heard me talk about this matter, so he must have told you, and I didn't know that her soul-asking technique was so powerful, so it must have been General Bi Ye who told you.
He nodded and said, "Yes, she also lives on Baihua Island. It's called Baihua Peak. It's on a high cliff. It's the most beautiful place I have ever seen."
Chu Xiaomu had promised the Flower Fairy not to tell anyone about her affairs, but in front of this gentle and graceful girl, he blurted out the truth without any intention of hiding anything.
