Chapter 23 I want help, I want help too
It was actually a letter asking for help.
Hua Ze said that his important junior brother was kidnapped and disappeared at the Youmeng Sanqiandu ferry. But this matter concerns his junior brother's privacy, and it is not easy to ask the master of Hehuan Sect to deal with it, so he wants to ask Yu Wei for help.
Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei looked at each other, and he asked in surprise: "Are you very familiar with him?"
Yu Wei shook his head: "We only met once in Shuiyue Valley last time."
"Then why look for you?"
Yu Wei also showed a difficult look.
"Hey, isn't this simple?" Nanshan said, "It must be that among the same generation, our junior brother Xiaowei has superb cultivation, excellent character and talent, and is the most reliable. If you want to hide it from your own sect, of course you have to find disciples from other sects. If it were me, I would also look for you!"
"Junior brother Xiaowei..." Chao Jianxue trembled three times.
Qiushui also squeezed over: "But, that's Youmeng Sanqiandu, don't you feel excited when you see this place name?"
Yu Wei folded the letter paper, and finally felt that it was not right: "This matter should be handled by the disciples of Hehuan Sect themselves."
"That's hard to say! Junior brother, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, are you really not going to take a look?" Qiushui pleaded.
She was so bored in the sect that she could only sneak out to play while the master was in retreat.
"Do you really want to go? When the master comes out of retreat, he will definitely scold you for being playful!" At the critical moment, Nanshan still had some reason and tried to pull her back. Chao
Jianxue was also not interested. Looking for someone, you can tell at a glance that it is a hard job.
The wind blew around, he shook his coat, thinking about going back to Qingxuezhu to take a nap, and then thinking about how to stop Yu Wei from continuing to improve.
Is this progress still human?
Qiushui behind him was still making trouble, and he was ready to hold him back if Yu Wei didn't agree.
Just as he stepped into the door built by Qingxue, Chao Jianxue saw something flash in his peripheral vision. He took another step back.
It was a gray bird with a note in its mouth.
"Youmeng Sanqiandu, Qianlijian."
Chao Jianxue rubbed the note in his palm.
He looked around and saw no one. He opened it and took a closer look. It was clearly the three words "Qianlijian".
Wasn't Qianlijian taken away by the demon cultivator that day?
Did the person who wrote this note know that he practiced Qianli Mingxin?
On the moon-viewing platform, Qiu Shui was about to cry, saying, "I have been in the mountains for decades without going down, and I am about to get moldy," "I am so young, Qiu Shui will become dead water," and so on.
She was about to cry.
Chao Jianxue went and came back, and joined her and said, "Why don't you go and take a look? They have sent it to you. Where is cultivation not cultivation? Isn't it said that Youmeng Sanqiandu is like spring all year round? It's very cold here."
Yu Wei frowned slightly, still hesitating.
Qiushui stopped crying immediately and stood with Chaojianxue affectionately: "Look, the senior brother also said so, let's go and have some fun, okay, little junior brother!"
Chaojianxue nodded like pounding garlic.
For the sake of Qianli Sword, he had to go and see it.
Yu Wei finally gave in: "But one person has to stay in the sect."
"I'll stay." Nanshan smacked his lips and said, "You'd better go and come back quickly. This year is the New Year, and it would be best if you can catch up with the sect's New Year's Eve dinner." The Xuanzhen Realm
has a New Year's Eve every fifty years, and there is a reunion dinner every New Year, so it is quite unique.
Yu Wei nodded, which was considered as an agreement. Qiushui screamed and immediately flew to her room to pack her luggage. Chaojianxue also wore a fox fur coat and walked down the stone steps quickly, and disappeared in a short while.
Nanshan looked at their backs, then at the bubbling hot soup on the table, and shook his head like an old man: "I didn't expect that the most mature and steady person in the whole sect is still my second senior brother."
Inside Qingxuezhu, two pear blossom trees in the courtyard were close together, and the thin snow had already hung frost on the branches.
Chao Jianxue had just packed his bags and left when Li Zhenzhen came to talk to him again. Since
the two of them recognized each other, they have seen each other every few days. Being strangers in a foreign land, they are not relatives but better than relatives.
Knowing that they were going to Xizhou, especially knowing that Yu Wei was going there too, Li Zhenzhen rubbed his hands and said, "Take me with you! Good Xuexue, good brother!"
He shouted disgustingly, and Chao Jianxue smiled and kicked him in the ass: "Can I still stop you? It's even better if you, a Yuanying master, come!"
"You don't know yet--" Just when he was about to say that Yu Wei's cultivation had improved abnormally, he saw the devil. In a blink of an eye, he saw Yu Wei standing at the door of Qingxuezhu, so he naturally stopped talking.
Li Zhenzhen couldn't hide her true nature of being a bootlicker, and smiled flatteringly: "Junior Brother Yu, let me go with you!"
Yu Wei's eyes fell on Chao Jianxue: "When did Senior Brother and Senior Brother Li get along so well?"
It turned out that he saw their fight just now. Li Zhenzhen did not hide it: "Yes, yes, we got acquainted when you were in seclusion, and I often come to visit."
After hearing this, Yu Wei's clear eyes dimmed slightly, but it was fleeting. He nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for going with me."
Several people agreed to meet at Qingxuezhu.
Chao Jianxue thought it was cold, so he asked them to go in and wait. It was the first time for Qiu Shui to enter the inner room of this senior brother. He was dazzled by the glittering gold and gems in it, and he walked back and forth to ponder.
Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei sat opposite each other and drank tea.
After several months of practice, Chao Jianxue also learned many small magic tricks, such as making tea automatically hot, lighting fires in the air, and other life tricks, and showed them off in front of Yu Wei.
He winked and signaled Yu Wei to drink quickly, and the latter took a sip obediently.
Chao Jianxue asked: "Is there any difference?"
Yu Wei: "Tea."
Chao Jianxue: "Is it just right? Is the temperature just right? Look at this pot, it's cold."
Yu Wei was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Well, Senior Brother's temperature control technique is very advanced."
Chao Jianxue was satisfied, and also picked up a cup to drink, but because of his complacency, he didn't control it well, and it was too hot, so he sprayed it out immediately.
He laughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject: "Why hasn't Senior Brother Zhenzhen come yet?"
"Here I come!" Senior Brother Zhenzhen came on stage, pushed the door open, and followed a burden.
He winked at Chao Jianxue with a painful look.
Xie Bingyuan said sincerely: "I heard Senior Brother Zhenzhen say that he was going to Youmeng Sanqiandu, and I want to go too."
It can be seen that the snow scene all over the sky and the field is suffocating everyone.
Just add one more person, it's just a matter of taking one more person on the way.
The five of them set off like elementary school students on a spring outing, chattering. To be precise, Qiushui, Li Zhenzhen and Chao Jianxue were the chattier ones, while Xie Bingyuan and Yu Wei were relatively calm, and these two were the youngest.
This time they still took the sect's teleportation array, and because of the long distance, they stayed in the vast white teleportation array for a while.
Chao Jianxue complained to Li Zhenzhen on the jade card communication: "It's like a bug."
Li Zhenzhen said: "I think this teleportation array is quite like an elevator. If you sit here before building your foundation, you will feel sick."
The two smiled at each other, as if they were close friends.
Yu Wei stood beside Chao Jianxue, taking in their expressions, and immediately understood that they were secretly communicating with the jade token.
His already dignified expression became even more dignified, but if someone was paying attention, they would notice that the corners of his lips were slightly turned down.
The white light faded away, and when he opened his eyes again, the fragrant wind blew in his face, the spring flowers were in full bloom, and tree after tree of purple cherry blossoms grew at the ferry, the petals fluttered in the wind, the grass was long and the warblers were flying.
Qiu Shui was the first to jump out like a monkey, wishing he could lie on the grass and roll around for a few rounds.
Several people did not wear the uniforms of disciples of the sect, and soon they mixed in with the crowd of tourists and became passers-by who were enjoying the spring.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know that Youmeng Sanqiandu is not just a name. As long as you are in it, you can smell the fragrant fragrance, which floats for ten miles continuously, and there are also music coming from nowhere, which is like the sound of a dream from another world.
The five people took a small boat, urged their spiritual power to float, crossed the Zima Bridge, saw Youmeng City, and went to Hehuan Sect to find Hua Ze first.
The Hehuan Sect disciple guarding the gate did not ask much, just nodded as if he understood, and went inside with the letter.
After a while, Hua Ze came out and took them to the Xianghua Mengli Tower in the city with gratitude.
The building is as its name suggests. It was the first time for the five people to come to such a romantic place. Even Qiu Shui, who was eager to try before, blushed. Before entering the door, he was touched on the face by the beautiful sister.
Before entering the building, Yu Wei resisted and said, "Fellow Daoist Hua, let's find another place."
When he spoke, Xie Bingyuan and Qiu Shui were as if they had been pardoned, and they pulled their brothers back.
Hua Ze looked at the beautifully decorated pavilion with regret, and finally took them to sit down in a teahouse.
Although it is called a teahouse, it is actually completely different from other stalls and shops. From the lintel to the threshold, it reveals a refined style. Flowers are laid everywhere, and the door curtain is also made of bamboo, with irises and other flowers and leaves painted on it with a red brush.
By the way, which shop in the entire Youmeng City is not exquisite? At first glance, there are only two words: romantic. Looking more deeply, there are two words: rich!
In this atmosphere of uncertainty, several people seem to be quite restrained.
Hua Ze familiarly asked people to serve tea and snacks, and began to explain the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that Hua Ze's close junior brother was taken away by a friend using magic three days ago, and there has been no response so far. As for why it is difficult to talk to the master about this matter, this so-called "friend" is actually a fellow Taoist who practices dual cultivation.
Although the Hehuan Sect regards dual cultivation as a normal way of practice, the masters have always warned disciples that there is love but no love, and the debt of love that they have caused must be resolved by themselves, and the masters will never show up.
Hua's fellow Daoist who practices dual cultivation is from another sect. If we really look for him in a big way, it will not sound good.
That's why I thought of asking Yu Wei and the others for help.
Chao Jianxue thought it was not a big deal. Maybe they were a young couple eloping?
Yu Wei nodded: "Do you have a portrait?"
"Yes."
He took out a scroll from his sleeve. Several people leaned in to look. The person in the painting looked 50% like Hua Ze, but more mature.
Chao Jianxue asked: "Do you have a portrait of that girl?"
"What girl?" Hua Ze was stunned, then reacted and said with a smile, "This Daoist friend misunderstood. My fellow Daoist friend is a man. There is no portrait, but he is an alchemy cultivator."
Chao Jianxue: "..." He plays in the circle of high society.
But seeing that the people around him did not look unusual, it seemed that he was the only one surprised, so Chao Jianxue also pretended to be indifferent and nodded steadily.
After drinking tea, Hua Ze agreed to meet with them at midnight near Zima Bridge where Hua's fellow Daoist disappeared, and then temporarily parted ways.
They were not in a hurry to settle down, and strolled leisurely in Youmeng City. They happened to meet a monk who was painting a portrait, so they sat down to paint.
The portrait was painted quickly, and the five people were in the same frame. Chao Jianxue and Li Zhenzhen sat in the front row, and the other three stood in the back, with their backs against the big purple cherry tree, and occasionally petals fell on their bodies.
Chao Jianxue sat upright, put on a very serious smile, and smiled so hard that the corners of his eyes twitched, and the painting was finished.
The five people took it and saw that it was painted with spiritual power. The portrait could even move. The five people in the ink version had fluttering clothes, which was very stylish.
Xie Bingyuan mustered up his courage and said, "I want to paint a picture with Senior Brother Yu!" Yu Wei nodded in agreement. Qiu Shui said, "I want one too!" Li Zhenzhen said, "I want one too!"
Chao Jianxue: "..."
Yu Wei's eyes paused on his face, as if he was waiting for something, but Chao Jianxue ignored him and walked directly to the portrait artist.
He stood beside the portrait artist and watched him paint.
In the picture, Yu Wei had a proper and faint smile throughout the whole process, like a human-shaped sign, not moving at all.
Swish, swish, swish -
the three of them finished painting one by one, and they all held their beloved paintings and admired them non-stop.
Finally, the portrait artist asked: "Do you two want to paint a picture together?"
Chao Jianxue glanced at Yu Wei, who was still standing under the purple cherry tree without moving, the shadows of the tree and the scattered light fell on his face, quiet like a blurred old dream.
