Chapter 1507 Programmed chat
“Stressed by a Mountain of Books” was Song Shuhang’s earliest chat group nickname. Later, he changed his nickname in the Nine Provinces Number One Group many times. He once rotated between seven daoist names, but the ones he recently used a lot more were Tyrannical Song and Tyrannical Saber Song One.
Currently, none of the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group called him “little friend Stressed by a Mountain of Books” anymore. …Unless it was a private message for Song Shuhang, and they had only seen Song Shuhang’s account name?
However, Island Master Tian Tiankong was an acquaintance. Even if it was a private message, it would still be impossible for him to call him “Little Friend Stressed by a Mountain of Books”.
Unless… It wasn’t Island Master Tian Tiankong himself who was the one that sent the message? At the side, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman brought out a clean jade bottle, and placed the evil caster inside the bottle, imprisoning him.
After that, he looked at Song Shuhang, and found that Shuhang’s expression to be slightly strange. “What’s wrong?”
Song Shuhang handed over his phone. “Senior Tian Tiankong just sent me a message… I might be thinking too much, but I feel like there’s a problem with Island Master Tian Tiankong.”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman looked at Song Shuhang’s phone, and saw the “little friend Stressed by a Mountain of Books” message sent by Island Master Tian Tiankong, which caused his eyebrows to rise.
“Reply to Fellow Daoist Tian Tiankong first, and tell him that you’ve got some urgent matters today, so he should come pick you up tomorrow instead,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said. “After that, I’ll take you directly to the island. Anyway, I have a token on me.”
No matter what happened to Island Master Tian Tiankong, they could simply go to the island first, and personally figure out what was happening when they got there.
Song Shuhang said, “Okay.”
He replied to Island Master Tian Tiankong’s message, saying, “Senior Tian Tiankong, I’ve suddenly got some urgent matters today… Can you pick me up tomorrow instead?” Island Master Tian Tiankong: “Okay, little friend Stressed by a Mountain of Books. See you tomorrow then.”
Song Shuhang put away his phone. After he locked the door to the restaurant, he and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman flew on their saber and sword, respectively, and directly headed toward Heavenly Field Island.
On the way, Song Shuhang had been paying attention to the connection between himself and the Inner World.
No matter what danger he encountered, as long as his connection with the Inner World was not blocked, then he wouldn’t be driven to absolute despair. When the time came and he encountered some danger he couldn’t deal with, he could simply retreat and hide for some time.
But the problem was… There were times when the Inner World was faster than him.
If he wasn’t careful, the Inner World might hide before he could hide in it.
As such, after getting the feeling that there might have been an incident at Heavenly Field Island, Song Shuhang repeatedly checked if there were any changes in his Inner World. If the Inner World cowered, then he would immediately retreat with Senior Seven Lives Talisman.
An existence that could make the Inner World cower was definitely not something that he and Senior Seven Lives Talisman could deal with at the moment.
Anyway, he could absolutely not let the Inner World be the first to be run this time.
The distance between Heavenly Field Island and Western Orchid Island was quite close, and it did not take long for them to arrive.
Along the way, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
The connection between the Inner World and Song Shuhang remained very stable, and there was no sign of either of them having to hide.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said, “Follow me, we have to speed up a little bit.”
Song Shuhang replied, “No problem.”
At this time, he was using the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, and it had its guardrails raised up high. With the complete sense of security that it gave him, he wouldn’t feel any fear even if they sped up a bit.
At Jiangnan University Town.
Gao Moumou, Tu Bo, and Yang De discovered that Song Shuhang had become much more normal today. Although he still appeared very careful-as well as very feminine in some aspects-in general, it was already at a ‘normal’ level.
In addition, Gao Moumou recently discovered that Song Shuhang would always go window-shopping on major shopping websites, and he seemed to have taken a strong interest in online shopping.
What he saw was very complicated, with there having been a huge variety of things as well.
When Gao Moumou passed by Song Shuhang a few times, he would see him looking at some beautiful women’s clothing with great interest.
Of course, it wasn’t that weird for men to look at women’s clothing. Who knew? It might just be so that they could prepare a gift for their girlfriend? Gao Moumou himself would secretly buy a lot of cute clothes for Yayi every now and then.
In addition to looking at women’s clothing, Gao Moumou saw that Song Shuhang had also been spending some time searching for things like nutrient soil, fertilizer, and general plant nutrient solution.
Could Shuhand be planning on growing some kind of plant inside the dormitory?
But why haven’t I seen him buy any plants, then?
“We’re here.” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman took Song Shuhang, and landed in a seemingly ordinary part of the sea.
This was where Heavenly Field Island was. It was usually surrounded by illusory formations, and ordinary people would not be able to see it.
At this time, the island-guarding formation on Heavenly Field Island was active, and the illusory formation that encompassed the entire island had even been strengthened. As such, it wasn’t easy to see through the illusion even for practitioners. Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman took Song Shuhang, and descended toward the sea. He made some hand seals, calculating and determining the coordinates of the island. Afterward, he stretched out his hand, and took out a leaf-shaped shield from his spatial magical treasure.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said, “Follow me, we’ll be entering Heavenly Field Island now.”
He raised his leaf-shaped shield, and entered the sea.
Song Shuhang followed him closely.
This shield was the token, and had extremely high authority. Even if the island-guarding formation was active, as long as one was holding this shield and found the coordinates, they could enter the island.
This shield was bound to Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, and no one other than him could activate or use it.
Song Shuhang walked behind him, surrounded by mist. Even with his current eyesight, he couldn’t see anything more than a meter from himself.
During this time, his connection with the Inner World remained very stable, and it did not waver at all.
About 20 seconds later, Song Shuhang’s eyes shone brightly.
He and the palace master had already passed through the large formation that was protecting the island. What appeared in front of him was a small pond with lotus leaves growing on its surface, along with several lotus flowers of various colors atop them.
On the edge of the pond, there were four statues seated.
The statues on the left and the right had huge heads, but their bodies were small and pitiful, being only one-tenth the size of their heads.
The statues at the front and back were the exact opposite. They had huge bodies, but their heads were only the size of a fist. If one didn’t look closely, they might assume that they were headless statues.
There was a small stream between each of the four statues.
There were three streams that were flowing inward, while one was flowing outward.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman whispered, “Follow me.” He put away the leaf-shaped shield, leaped forward, and landed on a lotus leaf in the pond. After he stepped on the lotus leaf, they quickly sped toward the stream flowing outward.
Song Shuhang used the (Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk) movement technique and followed closely.
He followed the movements of the palace master, tapping his foot lightly on the lotus leaf, and then moving forward with the help of the buoyancy of the lotus leaf. However, when his feet tapped on the lotus leaf, a black lotus bloomed out of thin air and supported his body.
The Lotus Blossoming Walk.
As Song Shhuang’s realm went higher and higher, the consumption of the Lotus Blossoming Walk became increasingly lesser, and it pretty much became a passive skill. There were times when as long as Song Shuhang walked in the air, a black lotus would come out on its own initiative.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Under the lead of Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, they walked along the stream, passing through a bamboo forest, and then through a maze of bends and turns.
In the end, they arrived at the back door of a classical immortal residence. Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman came in front of the ancient mirror at the entrance of the immortal residence, and said, “Fellow Daoist Tian Tiankong, I’m here. Are you here?”
There was a light that came from the ancient mirror, confirming Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’s identity.
Subsequently, the door to the immortal residence opened.
Song Shuhang asked, “Is this Island Master Tian Tiankong and Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei’s immortal cave?”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman replied, “This place is Tian Tiankong’s immortal cave, Tian Tianwei’s immortal cave is somewhere else.”
Song Shuhang said, “Eh? I thought they lived together.”
au
He thought so because Tian Tiankong and Tian Tianwei always chatted simultaneously in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
When Song Shuhang had just joined the Nine Provinces Number One Group, still had yet to meet Soft Feather, and had thought that the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group were suffering from the Chuunibyou disease, he had once wondered if Tian Tiankong and Tian Tianwei were the same person, just with two separate chat accounts. The inside of Tian Tiankong’s immortal cave was very modern, and even had a touch of science-fiction to it. There were two completely different styles when it came to the inside and outside of this immortal residence.
In the passage, they would be faced with a heavy metal door every once in a while. The doors were engraved with defensive formations and runes.
After passing through seven doors in a row, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman stopped.
“There are no traces of damage to the defensive doors, and the defensive system of the immortal cave is also intact. It seems that Taoist Tian Tiankong is safe.” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman let out a breath of relief.
He came to the last door and knocked on the door with a smile. “Fellow Daoist Tian Tiankong, I am coming. In addition, I also brought little friend Shuhang.”
The last door did not open for a long while.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman wondered, “Eh? Is he not inside his immortal cave?”
He took out his phone, opened the Nine Provinces Number One Group, and sent a message to Island Master Tian Tiankong. “Tian Tiankong, where are you?” Island Master Tian Tiankong quickly replied, “Fellow Daoist I Won’t Casually Make an Oath Again, I am in my immortal cave.”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’s face suddenly changed.
Similar to Song Shuhang’s “Stressed by a Mountain of Books”, “I Won’t Casually Make an Oath Again” was his account’s nickname.
Given the relationship between Island Master Tian Tiankong and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, it was impossible for Tian Tiankong to call him by that name.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman put away his phone, stretched out his hand, and laid it on the last door, ready to forcibly open the door.
When he put his hand on the door, the last door opened with a clatter.
What appeared in front of Song Shuhang was a small room of only a dozen square meters.
There were a computer desk and a chair in the room.
Besides this, there were doors everywhere in the room, large and small. These doors should be passages leading to all parts of the immortal cave.
There was no one at the computer desk.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman frowned and hurried forward.
In front of the computer, the chat software was turned on and logged into the chat interface of Nine Provinces Number One Group.
On the chat interface, the fellow daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group could be seen quickly sending messages.
In the background, there were several smaller windows.
Among them were chat windows with Song Shuhang and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.
There was also a chat window with Fairy Lychee and some fellow daoists who weren’t in the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.
In the chat window with Seven Lives Talisman, there was the message “Fellow Daoist I Won’t Casually Make an Oath Again, I am in my immortal cave.”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman stretched out his hand, took out his phone, and once again sent a message to Island Master Tian Tiankong. “Where are you?”
At this moment… the keyboard by the computer automatically started typing.
Island Master Tian Tiankong: “Fellow Daoist I Won’t Casually Make an Oath Again, I’m in my room.”
“Programmed chat?!” Song Shuhang was surprised. How high-tech was this?
