Chapter 601 Zi Po

The old woman had finally returned to her familiar way of feeding soup. Hunched over, with a face full of loving smiles, she coordinated with Jiang Xiao's movements, pouring the soup into his mouth.

Jiang Xiao finished the large gulp of soup in a heroic manner, and really wanted to smash the empty bowl to show off his heroic spirit as a little Jiu Xing Du Nai!

However... when he snatched the bowl over, trying to smash it on the ground, the moment the broken bowl left the old woman's hand, it turned into a pile of star power and quietly shattered...

The old woman looked at Jiang Xiao reproachfully, even bending her long fingers and tapping Jiang Xiao's forehead. Then, she re-condensed the star power and made another broken bowl...

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "This soup is really delicious, fragrant, rich, and mellow. It's a pity that few Star Warriors in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas are willing to learn this Star Technique, there are too many restrictions."

But the old woman didn't answer, she just waved her hands repeatedly, beckoning to Jiang Gong behind her...

Jiang Xiao took a few steps back, opened his *Star Warrior Chronicles*, and found the page of Star Beast Illustrated Handbook that belonged to the old woman.

The Star Beast Illustrated Handbook obviously had no limit to the number of times it could be viewed, it wouldn't cause the pages to become worn.

Jiang Xiao looked at the old woman's introduction. After more than a month of research, the Star Beast Illustrated Handbook not only had the names of the Star Beasts, Star Techniques, Earth-Different Ball ranks, but also added some characteristics of the Star Beasts.

This old woman is named Zi Po.

After she appeared in this magical Star Warrior world, she would look for bridges everywhere.

Of course, building cities and bridges was not her job, but the work of other evil spirits.

After the old woman found the bridge, she would just stand in front of the bridge, welcoming the passing Star Beasts.

However, she only received Star Beasts from outside the Fengdu Ghost Area, but due to regional restrictions, she had never opened for business in her life.

But when she saw the Starfall Squad, the genes in her body still existed, prompting her to take the actions she should.

This was the first time she had entertained strangers, but she was so skilled.

Zi Po was a kind of Star Beast without any desire to attack, like the Flower Rock Bull, self-producing and self-selling, only drinking her own star power soup.

At the same time, her existence was also a signal.

Drink this bowl of soup and step onto the bridge behind her.

Behind the Ghost Gate Pass, the Yin-Yang Boundary, the Yama Palace, and the bottomless Eight Direction Hell, whether beast or god, Buddha or immortal, there were no more friendly creatures.

What was somewhat different from Chinese myths and stories was that this so-called "Naihe Bridge" (Bridge of Helplessness) was before the Ghost Gate Pass, the order was a bit wrong.

Of course, strictly speaking, this was a gathering area for special ghost-type Star Beasts, not the so-called locations in true mythological stories.

After the squad members drank the soup, the old woman hunched over and waved goodbye to everyone.

Xiao Chongyang suddenly suggested in a low voice, "Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao, can we take this old woman home? Her soup is so delicious."

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

It wasn't because he was greedy for the delicious Meng Po soup, but because since he stepped into the Fengdu Ghost City area, he had made up his mind to wipe out all the Star Beasts here, so that his Calamity Shadow World would have a more complete variety of Star Beasts.

However, he originally planned to throw the Eight Direction Evil Ghosts into the Calamity Shadow World first, and then make plans, after all, the evil ghosts were coolies, they were the ones who built bridges and cities.

Jiang Xiao said, "If we send the old woman in first, then we have to build a bridge for her in advance."

"Otherwise, she will spend the rest of her life looking for stone bridges everywhere. Before she finds the bridge, her heart will never be at peace."

"This is a very cruel thing for her."

Xiao Chongyang opened her mouth in surprise, and asked stupidly, "This old woman, doesn't want to live in a house?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head, but sighed in his heart, and said, "No, she only recognizes bridges."

The old woman's "genes" like this, should be the same as every Star Beast's unwillingness to leave its own territory.

The more Jiang Xiao read the *Star Warrior Chronicles*, the more he really believed that this world was created by some god-level Star Warrior.

This so-called Zi Po, and the Ghost Gate Pass, the Yin-Yang Boundary, and the Eight Direction Hell behind her, were all too distinctive of the East.

For example, the bamboo forest other-dimensional space in the land of Sichuan, and the bamboo bears living inside; for example, the ancient imperial tombs in the land of Sanqin; the ancient pagodas in the Central Plains, and the sword tombs in the land of Bawan...

As long as you deliberately look for it, you can really find many regions and creatures with Chinese characteristics. Now that I think about it, those regions and Star Beasts in foreign countries are also very characteristic.

"Then... then let's build a bridge for her!" Xiao Chongyang said immediately.

"Okay." Jiang Xiao smiled, waved his right hand, and a space door opened in front of the old woman.

The old woman's face with a kind smile showed a hint of doubt.

Xiao Chongyang flashed, draped in a斗篷(dòupeng - cape), flew behind the old woman, and pushed the old woman's back with a pair of small hands, and said, "Old woman, go in, don't live here alone, I'll build a bridge for you at the door of my house, and I'll come to play with you every day."

The old woman was pushed forward by a huge force, Xiao Chongyang's Starry Sky stage physique was not something she could resist at all.

Helpless, Zi Po turned her head and looked at Xiao Chongyang with a reproachful expression, as if blaming this little girl for being so naughty.

When a naughty child possesses extremely powerful strength, it is indeed a very headache. Fortunately, Xiao Chongyang is still quite well-behaved when facing Jiang Xiao, and is still willing to listen to Jiang Xiao's words.

Under the old woman's reproachful eyes, Xiao Chongyang still pushed her into the door of the Calamity Shadow World.

"Let's go." Jiang Xiao said, leading everyone into the door of the Calamity Shadow World.

In front of them, the huge old woman with a hunched figure was looking around in a daze.

Here, there was no black mist that could not be dispersed, nor the screams of fierce ghosts.

The environment was no longer gloomy, under the night, the bright starry sky was so gorgeous, the forest lake was also exceptionally quiet, and in the bottom of the lake, you could vaguely see the deep blue light emitted by the Sea Soul Lamps.

The difference in environment was simply the difference between two worlds.

The old woman seemed a little anxious, she looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on the stone villa.

Although this building was completely different from the magnificent ghost city, it was at least a building, at least... in her perception, it could barely be regarded as a "city".

At this moment, she heard a sound coming from behind.

The old woman turned her head and saw a young man, stretching out his hands, aiming at the huge lake under the night.

In the blink of an eye, a row of small saplings grew in front of the lake.

It could be seen that the saplings were growing like crazy, somewhat like growing into towering trees. However, the huge trees that should have stood upright were unusually flexible and bent down.

The trunks and branches were intertwined, spiraling, and growing towards the other side of the lake in a beautiful parabolic shape.

Because the lake in front of this stone villa was too big, Jiang Shou had to step on the newly grown section of the wooden bridge, step on the branches that were surging forward, and work hard to urge the star power, building this canopy tree bridge.

Seeing the shape of the wide bridge appear, the old woman's restless heart finally calmed down, her emotions also stabilized a lot, and her face returned to the kindness and gentleness of the past.

Until the canopy tree bridge spanning the huge lake took shape, the old woman walked into the lake and stood in front of the wooden bridge again.

The moment she stood firm, she once again waved to Jiang Xiao and the others with a smile, signaling them to come over for soup, and then... then step onto the bridge behind her.

Chen Lingtao: "......"

Jiang Xiao stepped forward, but the old woman's movements stopped slightly.

She raised her head, looked at the stone villa in the distance, and then turned her head to look at the forest on the opposite lake shore.

The old woman hesitated for a moment, turned her head and walked onto the canopy tree bridge.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, and hurriedly followed.

In the end, the old woman stood at the bridgehead on the canopy tree forest side, stood firm again, and stopped moving.

Jiang Xiao seemed to understand something, he turned his head and vaguely saw the outline of the stone villa in the distance, thinking in his heart, this old woman was facing away from the "ghost city" when she was in the Fengdu Ghost Area.

She... was probably treating Jiang Xiao's home as a ghost city...

Xiao Chongyang asked in a low voice, "Can't we really invite her to sit at home?"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head in distress, and said, "I don't have such ability at the moment, maybe... when I study the *Star Warrior Chronicles* again, maybe I can find a way to change the characteristics of Star Beasts, change the subconsciousness of Star Beasts."

"Oh." Xiao Chongyang nodded, but saw a small sapling growing again beside the old woman, constantly growing, and finally growing into a towering tree, with dense leaves, making a rustling sound as the night wind blew.

Xiao Chongyang looked curiously at Jiang Shou, and Jiang Shou also withdrew his palm and said with a smile, "It's May, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and the sun is big, this canopy tree can provide her with shade and coolness."

Behind them, Chen Lingtao couldn't help but twitch his lips, does my master have a problem with his head!?

Why has my master never been so gentle when training me?

Which time didn't he beat me to death?

The sun? The sun is nothing!

I'm in the big sun, I drink...

Jiang Shou put his hands on his hips, looked up, and looked at the dense tree with satisfaction, and said, "I can actually make a tree umbrella or something for her, but I always feel that the style is not right."

"Xiao Chongyang, let's go... uh?" Jiang Xiao's words stopped abruptly, and his movements froze slightly.

"What's wrong? Master?" Chen Lingtao hurriedly asked.

Jiang Xiao's face was filled with joy, he turned his head to look at Chen Lingtao, and said, "I said... your sister is up, do you believe it?"

Chen Lingtao: "Ah? Did Sister Qingchen enter the other-dimensional ball?"

...

Five seconds ago, in the Central Plains, in No. 1 Ye Ancient Pagoda City.

Feng Yi walked into the meeting room, looked at Zhang Songfu and Jiang Xun who were fiercely discussing beside the sandbox, and said, "Nine Tails, Tail Feather Squad, are up."

Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Feng Yi, and said, "Up? Where?"

Feng Yi said, "Northjiang Land, Oil Area No. 3 Battle Camp, go and pick them up!"

At the same time, Jiang Xiao in the Fengdu Ghost Area flickered and came directly to the No. 3 Battle Camp in the Oil City area of Northjiang Land.

This place had become a tree city, with houses springing up one after another. The military camp was solemn. Jiang Xiao appeared at the entrance of the camp, and after inquiring from the sentry soldiers, he flickered and came to the southern area of the camp.

Inside the huge house, the structure of two rows of bunk beds was obviously a place for soldiers to rest, and here, there were familiar figures, sitting on the beds, seeming to be waiting for something.

"Xiao Pi?" Fu Hei, who was lying on the bed, bored, had very sharp eyes, looked in the direction of the door, and called out with a face full of surprise.

Everyone turned their heads to look, but Jiang Xiao's figure disappeared.

Beside a bunk, Han Jiangxue just got up, and subconsciously looked towards the door, but felt someone behind her.

She hurriedly turned around, but was hugged by that person.

"Mmm." Han Jiangxue's face was slightly red, she never thought that his strength would be so great...

Seeming to be aware of the gazes of the Tail Feather Squad, Han Jiangxue's face was slightly red, but soon, she forgot about the surrounding environment.

The person who hugged her in his arms was very strong, she even felt her body creaking under the tightening and wrapping of those arms.

Han Jiangxue endured the surging emotions in her heart, raised her hand, and gently pressed it on Jiang Xiao's head, but didn't know what to say.

For some reason, she said, "Your hair is long, you should get a haircut."

Jiang Xiao didn't respond, the room was terribly quiet.

Han Jiangxue was silent for a long time, and said softly, "So useless, we haven't seen each other for long."

Jiang Xiao was still silent, just burying his face deeply in her shoulders.

He never thought that seeing this familiar person again would cause a trace of grievance in his heart.

Why... why would there be such emotions?

Was it because he met the closest person?

"It must be hard." Han Jiangxue's voice was very soft, and it was also unprecedentedly gentle.

Jiang Xiao endured it again and again, but didn't speak.

Tired, exhausted, hard work, those kinds of things are nothing, I'm used to it.

The problem is... if I said, I was bullied by an old man, would you believe it?
