Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 31: The Difference of Artistic Conception (Part 1)
Lu Qingshan, the King of the Western Rat and Mimi, one man and two beasts, quickly moved through the mountains and forests, heading towards Qingqiu.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Qingshan noticed that Mimi had been shaking her head from time to time along the way, and seemed to be very uncomfortable.
"Aaaaah!" Mimi shouted weakly.
"Mimi said that it always felt like there was something in its head and it felt very uncomfortable." The King of Western Rats translated.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly when he heard this, and a bad feeling rose in his heart, "Could it be that there was some kind of injury to his head?"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan placed his hand on Mimi's forehead, and extended his spiritual sense to scan Mimi's body.
But apart from the injuries that were discovered early on, there were no other additional discoveries.
"It may be some hidden injuries that are difficult to detect. Let's go back to Qingqiu and let the mountain master take a look." Lu Qingshan said.
…
Just as Lu Qingshan took Mimi away, in a secret place, a beautiful woman with almond eyes and rosy cheeks seemed to sense something, opened her eyes, and murmured softly: "Is it finally here?"
Although the woman was past middle age, she was still radiant and beautiful, which was extremely rare among witches who generally aged prematurely.
“Yunmeng, if you hadn’t struggled desperately, I wouldn’t have discovered the secret of the Three Thousand Mountains…” The woman’s eyes were vague, as if she remembered something, and a strange and ferocious smile appeared on her graceful face.
Then, the woman stood up, and her figure turned into a streak of light and flew away.
…
Two days later.
A green hill covered with fiery red grass and trees came into view.
This time, when Mimi saw Qingqiu, whom she had felt a little disgusted with before, an inexplicable emotion came to her heart.
It's like a child who can't wait to leave home and see the world. After wandering around in the outside world and experiencing the beatings of society, he will suddenly realize that home is still the warmest place.
Not long after Lu Qingshan and Mimi entered the Qingqiu territory, an extremely bright silver-white shadow flashed in the air and jumped out happily.
It was Xiaolu Yaoyao.
The control of Qingqiu Mountain Lord over Qingqiu is beyond imagination, so the moment Lu Qingshan entered Qingqiu, he discovered that Lu Qingshan had returned with Mimi, and he immediately told the anxious Yaoyao.
"Aaaaaah!" Yaoyao surrounded Mimi, looking at the skinny Mimi, her big eyes full of tears. She originally wanted to scold Mimi, but now she silently took back the words, leaving only heartache.
Mimi tilted her head and rubbed Yaoyao's antlers carefully with the antlers on her head, as if to comfort Yaoyao, saying that it was not a big deal and asked Yaoyao not to be too sad.
Under Mimi's comfort, Yaoyao, who was originally in tears, suddenly looked determined, as if she realized that she was the elder sister, and cried out, "Yiyaya!"
Mimi nodded obediently.
"Eeyore! Eeyore!" Yaoyao turned her little head again and called to Lu Qingshan in a low, shy voice, as if she was telling him something.
Then, a green light suddenly appeared, wrapped the two deer, held them up, and quickly disappeared from Lu Qingshan's sight.
"That silly roe deer said that it wanted to take Mimi back to Grandpa Qingqiu to heal her wounds, so it left first and let us follow. Also, the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain has something to give you as a reward for your help in finding Mimi." The King of Western Rat explained.
Lu Qingshan nodded, "Then let's go find the Qingqiu Mountain Master."
…
When Lu Qingshan arrived near the peach tree, he saw Mimi lying under the tree, motionless, her flesh and blood glowing, as if she was isolated from all perceptions of the outside world.
An extremely divine light overflowed from the body of the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain, melting into a rosy glow and transforming into divine light, enveloping Mimi's entire body and nourishing her flesh.
Mimi's difficult-to-heal wounds all over her body healed rapidly under the nourishment of the divine light, and her body even emanated a crystal-like luster.
The two golden antlers on its head were originally almost dry, but now they have been restored and are shining and dazzling.
Most importantly, not only did Mimi’s physical injuries heal, but the almost divine power was also nourishing its spirit and restoring its origin.
Lu Qingshan stopped and waited quietly for the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain to heal Mimi.
However, he didn't expect that the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain, who was healing Mimi, still had the energy to engage in a conversation.
His human face reappeared on the huge trunk of his main body. "I am grateful for your help this time that Mimi was able to come back."
"It's just a piece of cake." Lu Qingshan was not complacent, and had no intention of seeking credit in front of the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain who saved his life.
"How could Mimi be so badly injured? Can you tell me in detail what happened?" The Lord of Qingqiu Mountain said gently.
Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not hide anything. He organized his words and told Mimi everything she had experienced in the White Flower Snake Village. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Master. I have punished anyone who framed Mimi."
“The human race…” But unlike the expected rage, the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain just sighed slightly after knowing the details of what happened.
The Lord of Qingqiu Mountain, who has lived for countless years and turned plants into spirits, can see the ugliness of the world much more clearly than others.
After a pause, the Qingqiu Mountain Master slowly asked, "I rescued you because you had a familiar aura. But do you know what that aura is?"
Lu Qingshan was a little dazed.
When he left the Yanling Realm with Yanling, a ball of green light full of vitality suddenly appeared in the Changsheng River and merged into his body silently.
Along with it came an extremely brief message, a message from the Immortal Whale.
"Give me life, give me love."
According to Lu Qingshan's speculation, his act of taking Yan Ling away seemed to have helped Changsheng Whale a lot.
So the Immortal Whale gave him a ball of vitality.
However, he currently has no idea why the Longevity Whale does not release the Flame Spirit itself, and what the use of this vitality is.
Now seeing the Qingqiu Mountain Master bringing up the old matter again, Lu Qingshan was shocked, shook his head, and humbly asked: "I don't know, please explain it to me, Mountain Master."
The Qingqiu Mountain Master asked in a deep voice: "Then do you know the difference between artistic conception?"
"I know a thing or two about this." Lu Qingshan nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "The artistic conception that a cultivator perceives is divided into three levels: weak, unified, and perfect. The higher the level, the greater the power of the artistic conception."
It is very difficult to improve the state of mind. Even though the trip to White Flower Snake Village gave Lu Qingshan some insights, his current killing sword intent still remains at a weak level.
