**Lanxi Town** (蓝溪镇, *Lánxī Zhèn*) is the 11th episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

Two elfin invaders enter Lanxi Town. They want to get to Laojun's palace, but they have to fight A-Gen and Xiaohei to do so. After tricking them, the invaders manage to reach the mountain, but are surprised to see Xiaobai there...

## Plot

Laojun tells A-Gen and Xiaohei that elfins managed to get inside the town, not because they were strong, but because they tricked Diting. Also, because of his vow, Laojun can’t stop them. He can’t leave his room or interfere with external affairs, not even those regarding Lanxi Town. He can’t even leave the mountain, only stay inside his palace. He has sixty to seventy years left of the vow. Unexpectedly, Laojun makes a proposal to Xiaohei: if he manages to kick the invaders out, Laojun will restore Hei to his original form. Xiaohei fully agrees with the deal.

In the town, the invaders locate the directions to Laojun Mountain, Doushuai Palace (which could be translated as Pageantry Palace) and the Souyu Palace (which could be translated to Royal Lockup Palace or Royal Dungeon), and choose to go to the last one.

Inside the palace in Laojun Mountain, Laojun approaches Xiaobai, who is with a Heixiu and is reading some comics. He tells her A-Gen had to go do some errands. Outside, A-Gen and Xiaohei run at full speed with their elfin powers, and agree to fight together this time.

Outside the spiritual palace, Diting and his dogs sit by the door, unable to do anything else, since it was locked from the inside. Diting wonders why he’s spent so much time waiting near doors lately.

At some location inside Lanxi Town, the two elfin invaders reach a round stone construction in the ground, built amid water from the creek. One of the invaders, an elfin called A-Xian, tells  his partner, Moss, that he won’t be able to seal Laojun’s mystical field for long. Although the stone they’re seeing doesn’t seem like much, it is secretly the entrance to the Souyu Palace. A-Gen and Xiaohei continue running towards them.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai and Laojun laugh together while talking about comics. Xiaobai invites Laojun to join her in a convention that will happen the following week, but Laojun repeats that he can’t leave the place.

The elfin invaders struggle with a magical lock that is blocking the Souyu Palace’s entrance, and A-Gen and Xiaohei reach them. A-Gen kindly asks them to leave. The invaders are surprised to see other elfin inside Lanxi Town, and they opt to attack them. A-Xian throws a button towards A-Gen, and then teleports where the button is, allowing him to quickly move around. Moss expands his fingers, which turn into wood, and tries to catch A-Gen with them from behind, but Xiaohei suddenly appears, and teleports Mosses’ attack towards A-Xian, causing him to accidentally capture his friend. Moss is shocked to learn that Xiaohei has spatial-type powers.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai tells Laojun that she’s ten years old. Laojun tells her he forgot his own age.

At the entrance to the Souyu Palace, Xiaohei talks to A-Gen about the invaders. He tells him that Axian’s special to matter exchange is tricky, and that it requires a stabilizing magical item  to instantly return to the medium’s location. Because of that, during offense, they need to pay attention to the item’s movement.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai asks Laojun what his daily activities are. He tells her that they are reading books, making pills of immortality, and surfing the web, among others.

At the entrance to the Souyu Palace, Xiaohei carefully avoids Mosses’ wood attacks.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai asks if the Jade Emperor is real, but Laojun says he’s not. Xiaobai then asks if heaven is real, and Laojun says that yep. So Xiaobai asks if all the legends are fake, and Laojun says that some of them are real.

After fighting some more, A-Xian storms inside a temple, and falls over a statue of a deity. A-Gen tells him to be quiet in such a place and that he has to get out of there.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai asks if Sun Wukong is real, and Laojun says that he is. Xiaobai asks if he’s super strong, and Laojun says that he’s not that strong. Xiaobai asks how come, if he’s the great sage equaling heaven, and Laojun says that’s only from the novel. Xiaobai is surprised to hear that Laojun has read Journey to the West, and Laojun says that he read it when it was first serialized.

Fighting around the town, Xiaohei is struck by Moss. He falls over, and A-Gen tries to create a bed to catch his fall. Sadly, A-Gen creates the bed with ice, which hurts Xiaohei all the same. Hei tells him to use water next time.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai tells Laojun that he has no eyebrows. Laojun answers that Xiaobai has no nose.

The fight outside continues, and the invaders manage to barely escape A-Gen and Xiaohei’s attacks. A-Xian thinks the deadlock puts them at a disadvantage, and Moss tells him to use Forbidden Flames, which means going all in. Moss creates a circle of flames around himself, and A-Gen laughs once he realizes they’re going to attack with Forbidden Flames. Without even letting them do anything, A-Gen absorbs the flames Moss was creating. A-Xian can’t understand how A-Gen was able to absorb anti-ice flames, but Moss… he wonders if A-Gen is the fabled Lord Xuanli. A-Gen is humbled to be referred like that, and Xiaohei tells him he’s really famous. Realizing they’re facing a deity, A-Xian decides to surrender, and Moss tells him to excuse their offenses, and that they’re going to leave. And just like that, A-Xian and Moss run away.

Xiaohei is dubious that Xuanli’s name is so effective it would immediately end the fight, and A-Gen agrees that it isn’t, and remembers that the invaders had also conned Diting. They decide to follow them.

In Laojun Mountain, Xiaobai asks for the bathroom, but Laojun says he doesn’t has one. He asks Xiaobai if she’s ever seen a deity use the toilet.

A-Xian and Moss return to the town’s entrance, and A-Gen and Xiaohei appear behind them. A-Gen tells them that he’s only doing his job, and Moss tells him he has to ask for Lord Xuanli’s forgiveness, but that he’ll do it after the affair is done. A-Gen and Xiaohei realize something’s wrong, and jump at them, only to realize they were fake. The real A-Xian and Moss appear behind them, and make a run towards the portal that leads to Laojun Mountain. A-Gen is too slow, and the pair manage to get in and block the portal. Inside the palace atop Laojun Mountain, Laojun laughs, perceiving that A-Gen and Xiaohei were tricked the same way Diting was.

Thanks to his Heixiu, Xiaohei detects that Xiaobai is outside, since she went to pee. Nervous and in a hurry, A-Gen says he knows a way they can still get inside.

At Laojun mountain, right after Xiaobai pees, the Heixiu begins to jump around. Xiaobai thinks the Heixiu is Xiaohei, since it looks similar to him, and wonders if there’s something wrong with him. Then, A-Xian and Moss appear before her. A-Xian is nervous to see another person, and they wonder if she could be a deity, too. Moss jumps and immediately attacks Xiaobai with strong wood vines that rip through the mountain. With no time to lose, Xiaohei changes places with his clone, and appears in the mountain next to Xiaobai. Not seeing any options, Xiaohei changes into his primal animal form, that of a giant black cat. In his enormous form, Xiaohei blocks the vines and hits Moss with his tail. He turns to see if Xiaobai is okay, and she’s astonished to see her cat transform like that…
