Mission 017 Hidden

  Fang Xian didn't dare linger in front of the door and hastily pulled Ling Er to the main hall, where they sat down in front of the statue.

  "It's unreliable... I'll think of a way myself." Fang Xian turned his head to say to Ling'er, "Ling'er, gather the people of Shuiyue Palace here, and I will make plans to defend against the enemy."

  "Master, they listen to Ling'er's, Ling'er listens to yours, you can directly summon them, Shuiyue and Tianlan are in charge of them, just call their names."

  Fang Xian patted Ling'er's head with a smile, this girl was too sensible. Then he shouted loudly: "Shuǐ Yuè! Tiān Lán! Gather all the people in front of the great hall's statue!"

  Half a minute later, 33 green-shirted and white-trousered Miao women stood in three rows before Fang Xian, waiting for instructions.

  [Hint: Hidden Task - Defend the Water Moon Palace has begun.]

  Defend the Water Moon Palace: Help the White Miao people of Xianling Island defend against the Black Miao's attack.

  Reward: Miao Doctor Skill.

  Special Reward 1: If there are no casualties among the White Miao people after the battle, a reward of one Gu will be given.

  Special Reward 2: If all Black Miao people are killed or captured, reward ten Gu Miao.

  Special Reward 3: If you capture the leader of the Black Miao alive, you will receive a copy of "Dark Poison Technique Beginner's Foundation".

  Wiping away tears of joy, it's been a busy half day but it was all worth it. Doing good deeds for others will ultimately be rewarded.

  Before formulating a strategy, he first had to understand the enemy and ourselves. After listening to the reports of the seven women, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the fighting skills of the Black Miao people and the White Miao people.

  All Bai Miao people are female, kind-hearted, and their skills mainly focus on healing and buffs. They're not very good at close combat or sword fighting. Only Ling Er and Nai Nai can use the Five Elements Spirit Chant. The Five Elements Spirit Chant requires the bloodline of Nu Wa to be used, which shows that Ling Er and Nai Nai's bloodlines are extraordinary.

  As for the Black Miao people, they are generally male, and their hand-to-hand combat skills are naturally much stronger than those of the White Miao people. Apart from their fierce physical techniques, their areas of expertise are completely opposite to those of the White Miao people, all being evil Gu poison and debuff techniques.

  To put it more clearly ——

  The White Miao team is just God Pastor's law-abiding pastor plus two unreliable mages.

  The Black Miao team is just a pile of dead riders, with mages and whatnot.

  Sister is awesome! No wonder Bai Miao lost!

  This is the evil result of incomplete development in language and mathematics. Students facing the college entrance examination should remember that they must not neglect any subject.

  Even so, the battle still needs to be fought. Fang Xian divided the girls into three groups. The first group consisted of those who were relatively physically strong and would engage in a head-on confrontation, led by Tianlan. The second group was responsible for medical supplies and consisted of women skilled in healing techniques, led by Shuǐyuè. The third group went to do something annoying, led by Longtao A.

  Fang Xian didn't know if this would work either, but he could only try his best.

  Everyone is busy preparing for what they need to prepare, and it's true that there are a lot of medicinal materials here, all of which fall under the category of traditional Miao medicine. In reality, both Chinese and Western medicine are popular, because Chinese medical techniques have been passed down through generations, and the cultivation of medicinal herbs has become mature, making them no longer as expensive; Western medicine seems more scientific, with immediate results in treating illnesses.

  However, on the great Chinese mainland, there are many mysterious medical techniques, such as Miao medicine, Tibetan medicine, and Wu medicine... But these schools of thought have either become extinct due to the difficulty in finding or the high cost of medicinal materials, or have been lost due to the complexity of their teachings. At this time, looking at the Shuiyue Palace's collection of Miao medical texts, they seem quite authentic and not like some old master's deliberate mystification.

  Judging from previous gaming experience, anything marked as 【Reward】 can be brought back to the real world.

  So, regarding these doctors and Gu worms, Fang Xian was full of expectation, especially for that Gu worm - this inexplicable, seemingly true yet false, mysterious thing.

  After dinner, all the women gathered their strength and waited for orders in the palace. Fang Xian was with Ling'er, guarding the bridge at the exit of the maze, waiting for Hei Ren to attack.

  "Idle brother, are you sure they're coming tonight?" Ling'er yawned.

  "Seriously, there should be a sense of urgency in facing a great war! Since the labyrinth has been broken, they shouldn't dawdle."

  "What did they come for?" Ling'er asked innocently.

  Yes, they came for the wool. This is a very philosophical question.

  "...This, how much do you know about your parents?" Fang Xian was somewhat hesitant, this topic was a bit complicated and involved some spoilers.

  Ling seemed to have suddenly thought of something, lowered her head and fell silent, her face filled with a mixture of emotions under the moonlight.

  Fang Xian briefly recalled and suddenly realized the reason for Zhao Ling'er's sadness.

  Zhao Ling'er's mother - Wu Hou, her bloodline is a direct descendant of Nüwa, originally in the form of a snake.

  If Fa Li wasn't so exaggerated like Nüwa, she would be just a snake spirit in ordinary people's eyes.

  In the world of Xian Jian, no matter which generation it is, 123456XX, they all talk about the doomed fate between humans and demons - humans are not perfect, and demons don't have to be evil. When humans and demons fall in love, they face the secular crazy spray and oppression, the protagonists of each generation struggle in it, and finally die for their loved ones.

  In the end, most stories have a tragic ending.

  In this generation's storyline, while in Suzhou, Ling'er becomes weak due to pregnancy and can't maintain her human form, transforming into a snake demon. Afraid to face Li Xunhuan, she escapes, prompting Li Xunhuan to embark on a long journey with Lin Yue Ru to find Ling'er.

  After several twists and turns, after losing and finding again, when Ling'er was finally found, she had been mistaken for a malevolent demon by the meddlesome Sword Saint and thrown into the Demon Locking Tower, just like Fahai did to Bai Suzhen.

  As Ling'er was a direct descendant of Nüwa, all living beings in the world were Nüwa's bloodline. Ling'er's arrival calmed the restless hearts of the demons imprisoned in the Locking Demon Tower. The warden of the tower, Ming Wang, seeing that Ling'er was not afraid of the Corpse Water, cruelly hung her on the Panlong Pillar, slowly eroding her magical powers and physical body.

  Ling'er's magical powers were growing weaker and weaker, all for the sake of preserving the child in her womb...

  Don't be sentimental, this is the original plot, it's very unpleasant and sad, but that's all about Xiao Yao Gege, Zhang Si Gege isn't so silly.

  Firstly, Fang Xian needs to pause for a moment.

  It's been a long time since we last chatted, I've missed you a bit.

  "Don't interrupt, I'm asking seriously this time, Zhao Ling'er is a snake demon, right?"

  That's right.

  "What about in the real world? Can she also turn into a snake?"

  No, in the real world she is just like an ordinary person, only slightly more formidable. You can imagine her as a player just like you, one person here and another outside.

  "Oh, then I'm relieved."

  The pause ended, this was Fang Xian's most serious conversation with God Elder.

  The moonlight is hazy, the evening wind blows by, and the fragrance of flowers wafts gently.

  Fang slowly and gently pulled Ling'er into his arms, his emotional control had already reached a state of perfection.

  "Don't worry, I know everything."

  Ling'er's body twisted slightly, and she said in alarm: "Know... what?"

  "I know your mother is a witch queen and your father is a witch king. I know that you are a snake in essence, what else do I know."

  "Then... you... don't despise me?" Ling'er asked with her head lowered.

  "Disgusted? Impossible." Fang Xian burst out laughing and tightened his grip on Ling'er, "Do you know why Nüwa is a snake?"

  "How could this be known."

  "Alright, let's just say I'm helping you gain some knowledge." Fang Xian cleared his throat and began to speak in a smooth tone, "The earliest objects of human worship, totems, and deities were all derived from animals, especially those with strong reproductive abilities. The reason why Nüwa is depicted as a snake is because humans admired snakes, worshipped them, and feared them. In ancient times, people highly revered women with strong fertility, and snakes have an astonishing ability to reproduce, so people instinctively imagined Nüwa as a snake; also, snakes can survive on land and in water, and people similarly worshipped her survival abilities; finally, snakes are formidable and possess magical venom, which inspired fear. Therefore, Nüwa is a snake, your mother is a snake, and you're a snake too."

  "Ah! So that's it!" Ling'er heard as if suddenly enlightened, and yet also as if a fog had descended, "Now that you mention it, I seem to have just imagined the whole thing?"

  "This... " Fang Xian could only hate that Ling Er's brain was turning too fast, and he tried his best to explain, "It's like this, you should have discovered that there are two worlds. One is here, this is a fake world, you can think of it as a mythological world, where there is magic, knife energy, and monsters; while the world we had hot pot in last night is the real world, that's reality, you're just like everyone else there."

  "Ah?" Ling'er was shocked, "Could it be that I've been living in a fake world all these years?"

  "Hey, just treat it as a dream, I've got your back in the real world, let's just pretend we're here on vacation."

  Ling'er heard this and fell into a moment of contemplation, then shook her head and snuggled sweetly into Fang Xian's arms.

  "I don't care anymore, I just can't figure it out. As long as you're good to me and don't despise me, that's all that matters!"

  "Haha, this is a good spirit, remember, no matter what I will always be with you."

  Instinctively, they started groping each other again. The peach blossom forest under the moonlight was absolutely a great place for a wild battle!

  But this time he wasn't so lucky. Just as Fang Xian's hand felt the softness, a loud noise came from the other side of the bridge.

  "These bastards are up to no good again." Fang Xian's anger flared up, and his blood that had just flowed from the back of his butt to the front was stirred up once more. This was simply a great misfortune in life. "Ling'er, go back and inform Grandma, Grandpa, and everyone else to come here for a final showdown."

  "En!" Ling'er also knew that this was not the time for sentimental words, and she got up and rushed towards the Shuiyue Palace.

  Fang Xian raised up his father-in-law's large axe and placed it on his back, shaking his head.

  Although it was just a game, he had already become fully engaged at this point.

  He lied to Zhao Ling'er, saying this was a world created by his inner thoughts, an inner world.

  But he himself knew that this was far from the truth.

  This is an independent space, and it can even be thought of as a small island that has not been discovered by people. Every character here, every person is alive, this is a real game.

  No withdrawal, no restart.

  He likes it here, he likes Ling'er, he likes Xianling Island, he likes Shuǐ Yuè Tiān Lán, and he even barely likes Grandma.

  Play when it's time to play, make trouble when it's time to make trouble.

  Although there will be a day when he leaves here, at this moment, he still insists on staying here.

  And there are so many rewards!

  Alright, everything else is fake, but the reward is real.
