Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 353: Same Heart, Different Paths (Twenty-four)

Fu Cangzhao paused while flipping through his notes.

When he was still working at the Dongyu Office, Ji Liangqi accidentally mentioned that he was not born in Qingbai District, but he never talked about his hometown.

Later, Yi Chunzhan told her that Ji Liangxi's ancestral home was in Xianling District.

After the pilgrimage to the God's Tomb was restarted, the mayor asked her to go to Tingli Farm in the Xianling District and explained some things to her.

Among them, the mayor bluntly expressed his hope that she could "keep an eye" on Ji Liangqi and stop the fairy Papyrus from running wild, otherwise he would be impeached - the White Dove Party had their eyes on the position of mayor, but was stuck at this delicate time point, and the mayor must not make any mistakes now.

She didn't understand the meaning then, but maybe she understands it a little bit now.

For five hundred years, the city has been committed to "domesticating" this vital plant, and has even set aside an entire area as an agricultural region, which is now the Fairyland District.

However, no matter how hard the agricultural experts in the Fairy District tried, the Fairy Papyrus still instinctively rejected the creation ideas of most citizens, so people had to use inkless pens in order to bypass "spiritual censorship."

As a tomb keeper - or rather, a southern tomb keeper stationed in the southwest of the city, Grandma has a firm will to protect the city and has been recognized by the fairy Papyrus, so she can communicate with Bai Ka more easily.

This is the case for most citizens who are able to enter the "funeral home".

But this is the first time I've seen a situation like Fu Cangzhao where there is no communication barrier at all.

She took out a white card from her sea of ​​consciousness and stroked the card surface with her fingertips. This was a first-level white card from the Dongyu Office. It felt very comfortable to the touch, and the damping feeling of the inkless pen writing on it was just right. Of course, she didn't know how to make a card with a pen. Since she moved into the office, she would not wrong herself to continue communicating with the initial inkless pen issued by the city.

From then on, every time she made a card, she could feel a sense of familiarity, but she could never remember where this feeling of familiarity came from.

She just knew that touching the cards felt reassuring.

Sometimes she even felt that the fairy papyrus and the base card had been waiting for her for too long. Every time her consciousness came into contact with them, her mind would be filled with a kind of intimacy and "blame", and she would ask her why she came only now in the tone of an old friend.

It’s a pity that five years ago, before her grandma could tell her the secrets of the tomb keeper and the city, let alone explain the mystery of the white card and the fairy papyrus, a group of alien species arrived.

They just looked like they were lost, but when they found that there were only an old man and a child guarding the cabin, they became murderous.

At that time, Fu Cangzhao was still confused about his own strength. He just waved the Scepter of Death without any method. He could not help grandma at all, but the alien species could not hurt her or even touch her body.

Mental power and actual "strength" seem to be two different things.

The grandma struggled with her frail body to fight them. There was also an alien species among them that disagreed with her companions' actions and tried desperately to stop them.

It is said that two fists are no match for four hands, so the grandma was naturally at a disadvantage, and the "kind-hearted" alien was knocked unconscious by a punch from his companion and fell to the ground unconscious.

Grandma is about to run out of energy.

At this moment, her movements were strangely delayed, and when the alien thought it had seized the opportunity and was about to take advantage of the situation, the way she attacked suddenly changed, as if she was just luring the enemy deeper.

Every time the scepter of death is swung, it will bring about a blizzard.

Fu Cangzhao carefully felt how the energy flowed through grandma's meridians and was released outward through the Scepter of Death.

She tried to channel her power in the same way, and eventually, a small ball of pure white flame burst out from the tip of the scepter in her hand.

As soon as the flame appeared, she felt that everything around her slowed down, and all sounds, colors, and smells became particularly clear.

At this moment, she felt extremely calm.

In the corners that the wind and snow had no time to reach, pure white flames filled the gaps.

Soon, all the aliens died, leaving only Yan Yiming, the alien who stopped his companions.

Then, grandma did something that Fu Cangzhao could not understand.

Because of its kindness, grandma filled a bag of water for it, took away all the ink-carrying materials it had on it, threatened it, and then let it go.

Fu Cangzhao could tell that this was not his grandmother's style.

If it were my grandma herself, she would definitely hunt them all down and chase them to the ends of the earth, not letting even a single one go.

Every night for the past three months, grandma would tell her about her heroic deeds in her early years of hunting down aliens. No alien could escape from her and her sister-in-law's grasp, and wherever they passed, only humans were left. However, they never cared about how those humans lived in the future, because the smart people had already tracked them to the card city.

She didn't say anything, but helped her grandmother back to the cabin.

To be honest, it was very cold, so cold that it didn't look like a human being.

At this time, grandma's body was on the verge of collapse due to the forced driving of the external soul. But she would not blame the soul. If it hadn't been for the other party's temporary rescue, the grandparents and grandchildren would have been in great danger.

Before, her grandmother tried to teach her how to activate her own power, but she just couldn't do it, so the Scepter of Death was just like an ordinary long stick in her hand. It wasn't until the arrival of the alien soul that she finally understood how the power should flow out, and after trying to activate it, she realized that her power was a ball of white flame.

There was a strange emotion contained in the flames. Just as she was unable to understand her grandmother's teachings before, she could not understand that emotion. However, one word was deeply engraved in her mind from then on: love.

The soul occupying grandma's body seemed to struggle for a long time, and found that it was indeed impossible to save the dying old woman, so it had to ask Fu Cangzhao to find the prepared spontaneous combustion card and connect to the vitality.

Fu Cangzhao also knew that his grandmother didn’t have much time left, and that she could only stay awake when there was an alien soul around, so he pulled the other person aside to chat.

"Your hands are so cold." Finally, she couldn't bear the coldness from her grandma's body anymore, so she let go of her hands and moved away.

The alien spirit said nothing.

She added: "You are so cold that you don't look like a human being."

"...I am indeed not a human," the alien soul stared at her for a long time before speaking indifferently, "When I was conscious, I knew that I was the 'savior', created by a certain creator god with the help of wind and snow."

Fu Cangzhao asked her: "What's your name?"

"Snow Moon Lonely Wind."

"It doesn't sound like a name, it's more like a nickname." Fu Cangzhao lowered his head and took his grandmother's cold hand again, trying to adapt himself to the cold. But within a few seconds, the hand was ruthlessly pulled back, obviously not wanting her to touch it.

She gave Xueyue Gufeng a new name: Ji Xueyue.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she could still see that Ji Xueyue liked this new name very much.

Only then did she ask the question hidden in her heart: "Why didn't you kill that alien species earlier?"

Ji Xueyue said calmly: "It did not endanger my safety, not to mention——"

"If it were grandma, she would definitely kill them all." Fu Cangzhao interrupted her explanation.

"Why?" This time it was Ji Xueyue's turn to be confused.

Fu Cangzhao asked back: "When you find a few mosquitoes, don't you want to catch them all in one go?"

Ji Xueyue looked calm, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Ji Xueyue didn’t finish her words: She wanted to use that alien species to obtain some information about that world.

The problem is that there is a girl by her side, but she still keeps the alien, wanting to kill it after it loses its usefulness.

...Is that girl of no use to me?
