Chapter 20 Kneeling together before this world

It was because he had consumed too much energy in the secret realm yesterday. Now he felt like he had been hit by a hammer 108 times. He was tired even if he moved.

Chao Jianxue lowered his head to regulate his breathing. A cup of hot tea appeared under his eyes.

"Brother, drink some." Yu Wei's expression was indifferent.

Chao Jianxue was flattered. He drank a mouthful of hot tea, and the pain in his body was relieved.

The secret realm was closed, and they should return to the sect.

Chao Jianxue hid behind Yu Wei and walked up the familiar mountain road. He was about to see his Qingxuezhu. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yu Wei in front of him stopped.

He glanced forward and saw his master standing not far away, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Mu Yuan called them back to the viewing platform to answer.

He said kindly: "The headmaster and I have already known about the robbery of the Qianli Sword. Yu Wei, don't take it to heart."

Chao Jianxue stood in the corridor, listening to the master and disciple in the inner room asking and answering each other, the master was kind and the disciple was filial. In contrast, he stood alone outside the door, feeling uneasy and lonely.

Flowers fell in the moon viewing platform, and clouds were blowing in the wind. The rings on his waist jingled, making a sound like springs hitting stones.

After he came back, he had read Qianli Mingxin Fa, which was very different from the Wuwei religion, but he had the inheritance of Fuheng Zhenxian, so he practiced it quite smoothly. There was

only one difference. The key to this method was that it didn't matter if you practiced it at ordinary times, but when it really worked, this method used your own spiritual power as fuel to catalyze the spiritual power to release greater effects.

In short, it was the kind that killing enemies also hurt yourself, killing one thousand enemies and hurting yourself about three hundred.

Qianli Mingxin Fa also contained martial arts, and he passed that martial arts into his armlet. The golden ring on the armlet was golden and bright, so he named it Ming Qianli.

As his cultivation level improved, the golden ring Ming Qianli could also nurture his life spirit.

"Chao Jianxue, come in."

He lowered his head and stepped into the inner room. The master's residence was spotless, and the floor was so clean that one could see the reflection of his own face.

Mu Yuan changed his gentle voice to Yu Wei and said in a cold voice: "Master will give you one chance, answer truthfully, where have you been?"

Such a majestic question, Chao Jianxue broke out in a cold sweat.

He thought Mu Yuan would be in seclusion for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would finish so soon, just in time to catch him.

Chao Jianxue raised his eyes to look at Mu Yuan, as if he was really angry, with cold eyebrows and angry eyes like a Vajra, while Yu Wei, who was waiting at the side, looked at him calmly like a waiter who was interrogating him together.

Throwing away the original intention of concealing it to the sky, Chao Jianxue was determined: "I went to Shuiyue Valley and entered the secret realm."

"Nonsense!" Mu Yuan clapped his hands and stood up.

Before Chao Jianxue could bend down, Yu Wei actually knelt down first: "Master, calm down. I am also responsible for this."

Mu Yuan: "Did you know it from the beginning?"

Yu Wei lowered his eyes: "Yes."

"Did you know he was going to die!"

Chao Jianxue said in a muffled voice: "Isn't it okay for me..."

"Kneel down!"

A flash of light came, Chao Jianxue's knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and trembled. He felt sour and aggrieved, thinking that he was not allowed to go out and see the world?

If he didn't go out, how could he get the chance to get the Qianli Mingxin Method? He didn't know how long he would be ridiculed by thousands of people in the sect, and he had to worry about someone coming to kill him all the time. How could Mu Yuan know that he was unwilling?

When his eyes were sore, Yu Wei crawled over on his knees, knelt beside him and said, "Master, Senior Brother withstood the pressure of the secret realm. In the secret realm, if it were not for Senior Brother's help, I would not have been able to break the Thousand Silk Formation. Senior Brother made a mistake, and I am also wrong. I am willing to be punished!"

Chao Jianxue pursed his lips and said loudly, "It has nothing to do with Yu Wei. Master, punish me."

He was unwilling to owe Yu Wei a favor.

Mu Yuan said coldly, "You two are protecting each other! Chao Jianxue, why are you so brave now? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Chao Jianxue said, "I am afraid, but I am more afraid of dying inexplicably. I just don't want to wait. I don't want to lose hope little by little while waiting, and then be killed in my sleep one day!"

"Didn't your master promise you that I would teach you step by step when you are in the late stage of foundation building?"

"But master also said that he would wait until I am in the late stage of foundation building. I want to go to the secret realm first to see. If my junior brother can go, why can't I go?"

"What is Yu Wei's cultivation level, and what is yours?"

"I have a magic weapon given by my father, which can protect me from death."

"Once is fine, but this is the second time. You only think about taking advantage of others. You are so impatient, lazy, and contrary to the teachings of the sect!"

Chao Jianxue's nose was sore, and tears fell from her eyes. She couldn't control it. The tears fell on her knees and soaked her clothes.

He felt so ashamed and complained about how fragile he was, while trying to cover up, thinking, Yu Wei shouldn't have looked at him, right?

He swallowed the pain in his throat and said stubbornly: "What about external benefits? As long as I can use it, it's my ability--"

He wanted to say more, but Yu Wei suddenly reached out and held his hand.

He stared at Yu Wei with red and tearful eyes, and Yu Wei gave him a look that said "don't say anymore".

A tear fell on the back of Yu Wei's hand, and he trembled, and withdrew his hand as if he was burned.

"Do you mean that you want to rely on magic tools to cross the realm in the future?"

"...That's not what I meant...I'm also working hard to practice..." Chao Jianxue softened her voice.

Mu Yuan waved his sleeves: "You, all of you, go to the Jingxin Hall on the main peak and kneel for seven days, without food or sleep, and only use your own spiritual power to support yourself! When you have survived these seven days, tell me that you are working hard to practice!"

Chao Jianxue wiped the water marks on her face and thought to herself that kneeling is fine, just seven days, close your eyes and open them, repeat it seven times and it will be over.

Mu Yuan had already left in anger, and the two of them got up. He awkwardly apologized to Yu Wei who was implicated.

"Senior brother shouldn't talk to Master like this, Master is just worried about your safety." Yu Wei said. Chao

Jianxue: "I know. He is also worried that I will get the benefits of using the magic weapon, and will not practice seriously from now on, and will be known as a useless person."

Yu Wei's eyes softened rarely: "Senior brother, you understand."

Chao Jianxue rolled his eyes: "Do you take me as a fool?"

The Jingxin Hall on the main peak is very high. Looking up, the ceiling is painted with the scene of the battle to subdue the demons, with two groups of immortal clouds and demon clouds. At that time, there were still many immortals, not like the few stars now.

Speaking of kneeling, they didn't even provide a cushion. The hard floor was engraved with intricate fairy clouds, cranes and flowers. The chisels were powerful, and those with delicate skin and flesh could not bear it when kneeling on it. Chao Jianxue

was the delicate one.

After kneeling for a while, he asked Yu Wei how to regulate his qi, and then he felt better.

They knelt in the inner room, and the outer room was where the inner disciples had classes before building their foundation. During the break, some disciples poked their heads in.

Chao Jianxue found it annoying and lowered his head. Yu Wei also had a solemn face, as if he was not here to kneel as punishment, but to cultivate his mind.

"Ah! Senior Brother Chao, Senior Brother Yu."

Hearing the familiar voice, Chao Jianxue raised his head, his eyes lit up: "Junior Brother Xie, you are here too?"

Xie Bingyuan was holding a book, and seeing this scene, he was confused and said: "Two senior brothers are here?"

Chao Jianxue said naturally: "They were punished by the master to kneel."

"Senior Brother Yu is here too?"

Chao Jianxue: "What do you mean?" He thought you, Xie Bingyuan, were a good boy.

Xie Bingyuan immediately changed his words: "Why is Master Muyuan like this..."

His eyes turned smartly: "When Senior Brother Zhenzhen came back, he told us about the Shuiyue Valley incident. Could it be that the outer disciple was Senior Brother Chao?"

Chao Jianxue smiled at him softly: "Little Junior Brother is so smart! Hush, this matter should not be spread outside."

Xie Bingyuan nodded: "Of course I know. Senior Brother Zhenzhen has been in a bad mood these two days. Because of the Shuiyue Valley incident, he locked himself in the retreat cave and didn't come out."

Yu Wei was surprised and said: "Senior Brother Li is so concerned?"

After another class, Xie Bingyuan came again and asked: "I will still have a class here tomorrow. Senior Brother, do you need me to bring anything?"

Chao Jianxue's eyes were filled with tears, and he was moved.

"Good Junior Brother, you are so kind..."

But thinking of the words of his master, he hardened his heart.

"No need for anything."

Outside, the morning bells and evening drums rang, and the shadows of the two people on the ground stretched and shortened, and finally two rows of candles in front of them were lit, and the candle shadows swayed.

Chao Jianxue was drowsy, and every time he was about to fall asleep, he would hear Yu Wei calling him "Senior Brother".

The voice was not loud, but as gentle as the breeze, immediately pulling him out of his drowsiness.

Chao Jianxue looked at the candlelight in front of him, and gradually left an indelible shadow in his vision. He felt bad and asked: "Although I asked you to conceal it for me, I didn't ask you to share the punishment with me. Why?"

Yu Wei: "It has nothing to do with Senior Brother. It is wrong for me to conceal it for Senior Brother. This is a fact. " There is no

need to be so fair.

Chao Jianxue: "Why are you doing this?"

Yu Wei's voice was neither sad nor happy: "I have something to ask Senior Brother.

" "Ask it."

"Fellow Daoist Hua Ze, when did you meet Senior Brother?"

Why did he talk about Hua Ze? Chao Jianxue said inexplicably: "That day in Fuxiang Tower and the day you met."

Yu Wei asked again: "Senior Brother... did you do anything with him?"

This is a naked slander.

"What do you do!" Chao Jianxue got anxious all of a sudden, "You look at me like that too! I was going to say that you had some improper thoughts about him when you went to fetch water with him!"

Yu Wei looked at him, "I didn't."

"Who knows if you did or not! Anyway, I didn't!"

"Why should he thank you? He asked me to tell you that he was grateful for letting him sleep well."

Chao Jianxue slapped his thigh anxiously, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! How can the words of the people of the Hehuan Sect be so misunderstood! He thanked me because I gave him the room."

"Huh?" Yu Wei raised his eyebrows, and the candlelight added a bit of beauty that was not seen on weekdays, "I remember that day, Senior Brother Yu said that he didn't have a room..."

And thinking back, that day, the "Senior Brother Yu" was originally said by Chao Jianxue.

Chao Jianxue gave up on himself and said, "Of course I'm not so stubborn as to dare to enter the secret realm by myself. I must find you to go with me."

Obviously, it was a normal and logical statement, but it had a different meaning in Yu Wei's ears.

He curved his lips calmly: "I didn't expect that Senior Brother believed in me so much."

Chao Jianxue said again: "Anyway, don't get me wrong, I didn't!"

"So that's it." Yu Wei bowed his

head in a reserved manner. In the first few days, Chao Jianxue's spiritual energy in Dantian was still full. After getting through the sleepiness of the first night, he understood the essence of staying up late to cultivate immortality. His whole mind was clear and he even felt a little ecstatic.

But after the fifth day, his spiritual energy began to flow disorderly, and he had a stitch in the side from time to time, one on the left and one on the right, but he couldn't get it to where it should go.

He began to see stars, and sometimes he felt hungry, and sometimes his eyelids drooped.

The candles burned out in five days, and a disciple came to replace them with a new batch of candles.

Chao Jianxue felt that his legs were no longer his own, but seeing that Yu Wei's expression was still normal, he could even regulate his breathing and exercise normally.

He secretly called out the Qianli Mingxin in Dantian and practiced seriously, and his body had some strength to support it.

"Junior Brother Yu! Junior Brother Yu!"

He opened his eyes, and after Xie Bingyuan, Li Zhenzhen also came out to visit them.

To be precise, it was to visit Yu Wei.

Li Zhenzhen held Yu Wei's hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Junior brother Yu, why were you punished to kneel? I feel so distressed..."

Chao Jianxue turned her eyes away: "..."

This action and expression, like a coquettish and shy young wife.

Did Senior Brother Zhenzhen go too far in seclusion?

Yu Wei slowly pulled his hand out of his hand: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your concern."

He paused for the last two words because Senior Brother Zhenzhen held it very tightly and it was a little difficult to pull it out.

"Junior brother Yu is a rare talent. Although you lost the Qianli Sword this time, you must have a better immortal weapon next time!"

Chao Jianxue was shocked by this flattering remark. Isn't this flattering look a little too obvious?

Yu Wei's eyelids also twitched, and he said, "Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Li Zhenzhen closed his eyes, with a look of grief on his face: "Nothing! I just had a dream during my retreat, and found that I had missed too much, and I was very sad! This world is too crazy!"

Chao Jianxue raised his head and stared at Li Zhenzhen motionlessly, not because of anything else, but because of the tone of the last sentence.

It was a very familiar tone that made people unable to help but continue the next sentence.

But Li Zhenzhen didn't have him in her eyes at all, and only said to Yu Wei: "If Junior Brother Yu needs you, send me at any time, oh no, send me a message!"

Yu Wei: "Brother, your words are too serious, please go back."

"Wait!" Chao Jianxue stood up.

In Yu Wei's puzzled gaze urging him to continue kneeling, Chao Jianxue said to Senior Brother Zhenzhen seriously, "Let me talk for a moment."

The two walked to the corner of the corridor column. There was no one around, and it looked like Yu Wei should not be able to hear it.

Chao Jianxue stared at Li Zhenzhen's eyes with a sharp gaze, thought for a long time, and finally chose the most reliable code that has been popular for decades.

He said in a poetic tone: "Palace Jade Liquor!"

Senior Brother Zhenzhen was stunned and continued: "One hundred and eighty per cup!"

Chao Jianxue put both hands on his shoulders and shook him: "The price of the shirt is!"

Senior Brother Zhenzhen cried with joy: "Nine pounds and fifteen pence!"

"What's going on!"

"You don't know? I don't know much either. I only know the ending. Yu Wei is the protagonist of this world. He will ascend to heaven in the future. After ascending, he will slaughter the entire Xuanzhen world! In short, hold on to him tightly, brother!"

When Chao Jianxue quietly returned to the inner room, he knelt down, his body slightly petrified.

Yu Wei: "What did Senior Brother say to Senior Brother Li? Why do you look so solemn?"

Chao Jianxue laughed and said, "Don't talk."
