Chapter 75: Second Score
Chapter 75: The second time is a double success.
This immediately caused an uproar among the disciples. When did the boat master have such an interest to personally watch them practice?
Someone was well-informed and had spread the news among the disciples.
"I heard that the boat master has thought it through and wants to choose a personal disciple?"
"In that case, you must perform well later. If you are chosen as a personal disciple, wouldn't it be equivalent to the chief disciple of other sects?"
"After all, he is the first one, and he must be valued by the boat master!"
Everyone was discussing, and Qin Cai also had an expectant look, secretly saying to Chao Jianxue excitedly: "Lu Ren, do you think I have hope?"
To be fair to Chao Jianxue, Qin Cai's talent is average. If Yu Wei really wants to choose a personal disciple, he will not be able to get it based on Yu Wei's strictness in practice.
But he smiled and said, "There is always hope if you try."
Qin Cai chuckled and teased him again, "You also have to perform well. If the boat master chooses you as his personal disciple, can't you get along with the boat master every day in the White Jade Tower? Don't you like the boat master?"
Chao Jianxue felt that this plot was a little familiar, and it was similar to what Li Zhenzhen said in Shuiyue Valley that year. It seemed that after going around in circles, everything returned to the original point.
But the character setting must be maintained to the end.
Lu Ren smiled shyly with his head down, looking very innocent, as if he didn't dare to answer because of shyness.
"How could someone who came in with such a mind be chosen by the boat master?" A thin disciple who looked like a bamboo pole heard them talking and said so mockingly.
Qin Cai stood up for Lu Ren and said angrily, "You look down on people!"
"Am I wrong? With such a small body, how good can the qualifications be? He was kicked out after five years."
"You!"
Chao Jianxue pulled Qin Cai who was about to take action. After all, he was still young and couldn't keep his temper.
He used to get angry because of a few words from others, but now he doesn't do that anymore. In the end, getting angry because of a few words that don't matter is just because you don't have confidence in yourself. In fact, it's not worth it to talk back.
When it was time for everyone to practice together, the hall was silent. Everyone was holding back their strength to enter the door and frost the lotus in front of them.
With the sound of the door being slowly opened, Yu Wei walked in slowly. Chao Jianxue glanced at him and saw that there was still a little invisible wound on his lips. He
pursed his lips subconsciously. "Everyone, continue." Yu Wei said in a deep voice.
But with him, the atmosphere in the hall was obviously solemn.
The tense mood spread, and even a disciple accidentally knocked over the lotus lamp. Yu Wei only tapped on the table lightly, and the older disciple came over to ask him to leave and go back to his room to practice.
What a great majesty. Chao
Jianxue was the only one in the audience who was calm.
For the rest of the people, Yu Wei was an existence that the young people in the Xuanzhen Realm for a hundred years looked up to. Whether it was his background or his cultivation, he was outstanding.
It is said that when Yu Wei revealed his identity to Wuwei Sect, he shocked everyone.
Being looked at by such a person, one would be completely flustered if one was not mentally firm.
One after another, people successfully formed a thin layer of frost. Without exception, they all broke into a sweat, and then they were all happy, waiting for Yu Wei to come and see.
Yu Wei's pace did not stop.
Chao Jianxue saw that the time was ripe, and pretended to be focused, and pointed a finger. Then a little frost quickly climbed up from the lotus leaf, and in an instant, the whole flower was frozen, and then with a snap, the lotus broke.
So easily.
The snow-white figure just walked in front of him.
Chao Jianxue raised his head fearlessly and met his eyes. Yu Wei examined his work without concealment.
People around were whispering. The person who had mocked Lu Ren's qualifications before whispered to his deskmate: "It's him, he's here for the boat master."
Qin Cai turned back and glared at him. He curled his lips smugly and continued: "The flowers are broken, the boat master must drive him out."
Qin Cai was also worried. The book only said that frost would form, but Lu Ren froze and broke. This was not good.
But Yu Wei said to Lu Ren: "You, follow me to the White Jade Tower from now on."
Everyone was shocked and suspicious.
Chao Jianxue silently began to pack up. What's wrong with that?
The first step is to frost, and melting ice is an advanced step. If someone can show the potential of melting ice at the beginning, even if he can't control it and breaks, it is also a talent.
He knows Yu Wei. He is a very demanding person in practice. Naturally, he will choose the best disciples. He will be the best.
This will give him more opportunities to kidnap people.
The man who had just mocked him turned pale and blue on his face. He looked at Lu Ren who turned his head and tried to avoid his sight. However, he saw Lu Ren's slightly plain face showing him a kind and gentle smile.
Kind - a little outrageous, but that was the feeling.
The man was stunned and regret suddenly surged in his heart.
Before leaving for the Baiyu Tower, Qin Cai was reluctant to leave. Although he also wanted to be chosen, he was only happy for Lu Ren since he went there, and advised him: "When you go to the Baiyu Tower in the future, don't sneak out at night like you did before."
Chao Jianxue felt warm in his heart, and gave him a bottle of elixir and said: "These are elixirs handed down from our ancestors. You can use them in your future retreat."
Qin Cai took it and said: "Thank you."
On the way to the Baiyu Tower, Qing Tuliu moved Chao Jianxue's hand: "This kid is so lucky to get the elixir you gave him. Aren't you afraid that he won't recognize the value of it and throw it away?"
Chao Jianxue said: "I gave it to myself without asking about the consequences. Besides, it's not that he is lucky, but that such sincerity is rare."
He added: "Take this opportunity to leave. Yu Wei has good eyesight. It's dangerous for you to be around me."
Qing Tuliu snorted arrogantly, slid down his sleeve, and quickly dived into the lotus pond on the side, disappearing without a trace.
There were clusters of lotus branches on the corridor. Chao Jianxue stepped over them with his bag in his arms, humming a song in a good mood.
This was the first time he entered the White Jade Building through the main gate. Yu Wei was waiting for him in the hall.
He called out, "Boat Master."
Yu Wei responded coldly, "You don't have to call me Master. I will only teach you for thirty years. After thirty years, no matter what level you have reached, you must manage the One Leaf Boat for me." "
?" Such a heavy responsibility suddenly fell on Chao Jianxue's head. He was puzzled: "The Boat Master wants to leave? Why me?"
Why did he hand over such an important place as the One Leaf Boat to a strange disciple?
Yu Wei said calmly: "I have seen what others have said and your performance. You have a good character and good talent, so I have chosen you for the time being."
Chao Jianxue was worried. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. What exactly was he going to do by entrusting the One Leaf Boat to him?
Was he going to leave the Xuanzhen Realm?
But for now, Chao Jianxue could only say yes.
Yu Wei asked again: "What's your name?"
"Lu Ren." Chao Jianxue was nervous for a moment.
A strange sense of familiarity suddenly arose. Yu Wei looked at him deeply. The ordinary name and ordinary face were nothing special.
However, a blood scab on Lu Ren's lips made Yu Wei frown slightly: "How did you get hurt on your mouth? Do you have a Taoist partner?"
Chao Jianxue denied it: "I fell on the road and hit a rock."
"That's good. In the next 30 years, you must focus on practicing and not be distracted by love. Remember?"
Chao Jianxue nodded: "Remember, Master!"
Yu Weiyi waved his sleeves: "Follow me."
He took him to the second floor of the White Jade Building. As soon as Chao Jianxue stepped in, it was as if he had entered an ocean of knowledge. There were countless books in it, and the bookshelves were lined up like a vast galaxy, which made people feel awe.
Chao Jianxue recalled the miserable scene of being forced to recite by Master Mu Yuan, and her heart sank. Would she be forced to recite by Yu Wei now?
Yu Wei walked forward a few steps, but didn't see Lu Ren following him. He turned back and urged him, and Lu Ren followed with a pale face. The two walked into the inner room. Chao Jianxue took a look. This time, there were not as many books as outside. There were only three volumes.
Yu Wei said, "This is the experience of the Cold Soul Bitter Lotus technique compiled by me. You don't need to learn it now. Just start from the first volume and the second series. You will live here in the future. If you don't understand something, come up to me."
After that, he left, leaving Chao Jianxue alone to look at the three volumes.
He opened it and saw that it was written by Yu Wei himself.
There were hundreds of thousands of words in this magnificent book. There were occasional traces of ink bleeding. You can imagine Yu Wei's pen in deep thought. Chao Jianxue sat on the ground and was fascinated by it.
The handwriting is like the person. Chao Jianxue hasn't seen this clear and vigorous handwriting for a long time. He just felt it was pleasing to the eye and much better than his own handwriting.
Not long after, he heard a noise, glanced out the window, and saw Yu Wei flying out, and went to the small courtyard across the water.
Chao Jianxue sighed.
He really made a big mistake, he was guilty.
He forced a good and cold junior brother to become a pervert who misses people at night.
Sighing, he folded the book again.
He didn't come to Baiyu Tower for the exercises.
He raised his wrist and shook out a bottle of potion from his sleeve.
Qing Tuliu rushed back to the demon realm overnight to get the poison of the elder of the Qing family. It was colorless and tasteless. One bottle mixed in the water would ensure that Yu Wei would faint and could be unconscious for ten days and a half.
Chao Jianxue quietly went up to the third floor. Yu Wei did not set up any restrictions and let him push the door open directly.
His eyes quickly locked on the pot of tea on the table.
Chao Jianxue pulled out the cork in his hand, opened the lid of the teapot, and poured the potion in without thinking, and did not forget to cover it and shake it evenly again.
He went back downstairs in fear and waited until three o'clock in the morning, when Yu Wei came back.
He stopped for a moment beside Chao Jianxue, who was pretending to read seriously, and said, "Practice requires a combination of work and rest, go to sleep."
Chao Jianxue nodded in agreement.
The footsteps went up, and he glanced at Yu Wei's back. He
only saw the shadow of a piece of clothing.
He moved the cushion and sat down at the bottom of the stairs. The candles in Yu Wei's room were still on.
Chao Jianxue waited and waited, but there seemed to be no movement upstairs, so he quietly climbed the stairs.
"Master?" He called like a kitten.
There was no response.
Chao Jianxue was secretly happy and pushed open the door. Sure enough, Yu Wei was sitting at the table with a cup of tea in front of him. He supported his forehead with one hand and sat motionless, as if he had fainted.
He slowly approached and called again, "Master?"
Yu Wei still did not respond.
Chao Jianxue stretched out his claws.
Just as his fingers were about to touch Yu Wei's shoulder, Yu Wei suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his arm.
Chao Jianxue was startled, and his soul flew out of his body.
He stuttered the word "zhou" for a long time. Yu Wei's palms were burning hot, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he squinted at him.
After a while, he scolded: "Bold."
Chao Jianxue felt that his state was unusual. Why did his eyes not seem to be focused but he still had strength? Could it be that there was something wrong with the snake venom again? He failed again?
"Who allowed you to come in? Huh?" Yu Wei's hands tightened more and more.
Chao Jianxue felt pain and looked at the table carefully. The color of the tea soup seemed to be wrong. There is no such clean and colorless tea soup.
He smelled it carefully and it was the smell of wine!
Yu Wei was drunk.
He didn't drink the tea in the teapot.
Yu Wei had never shown a drunken state in front of him before, but now Chao Jianxue knew that he was like this when he was drunk. His eyes were scary, and the shadow of his eyelashes pressed down. He was obviously a bright and sunny face, but he looked like a ghost that could drink blood and peel skin.
Chao Jianxue was in a stalemate with him, so he had to put on a smile and said to Yu Wei sincerely: "Master, I just want to ask when I can see you tomorrow?"
Yu Wei stared at his sincere eyes, as if he didn't understand what he said, and only looked at his eyes seriously, as if he wanted to find something in them: "You..."
This kind of sight seemed to be able to see through Chao Jianxue's disguise and see the real appearance under the disguise. Chao Jianxue was scared. He turned his eyes away and looked at the teacup on the table that was used as a wine glass: "What did you drink, Master?"
This question brought back Yu Wei's slightly sober.
He let him go and said in a low and cold voice: "Get out! You don't have to see you tomorrow."
Chao Jianxue was still brave, and he took another empty cup from the table and poured him a cup from the teapot.
"Master, drinking is not good. Drinking is harmful to your health. It's better to drink some tea to moisten your throat?" He respectfully held it in front of Yu Wei.
Since he didn't drink, Chao Jianxue decided to coax him to drink now.
He believed that Yu Wei was kind-hearted and would not refuse a little concern from his disciple. However, Yu Wei's eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he was enduring some pain, and he did not take it. Chao Jianxue moved closer: "Master, can you drink some tea to sober up?"
"I don't want to say it for the third time, no need." Yu Wei held his forehead.
Chao Jianxue was unwilling to give up easily. He put the teacup on the table and said: "Master, are you feeling unwell? Can I give you a pinch?"
As he said that, he walked around behind Yu Wei and tried to touch him, but suddenly a biting coldness enveloped him and pushed him out. Chao Jianxue shouted in panic, "Master! Master!" He could not control his feet and kept walking out. Finally, the door "slammed" and Chao Jianxue was blown by the wind from the door and closed his eyes.
He stood outside the door for a long time, his anger rising. He was unwilling to drink the tea given by his disciple. How could Yu Wei accept a disciple like this!
If I had known, I would have forced him to drink it! Damn it!
He took two deep breaths before calming down, telling himself: It doesn't matter if I failed the second time! This is only the second time, I will never abandon you!
The timing of today's selection is not very good. Who knew that Yu Wei would drink after coming back! Obviously, the obedient little junior brother didn't drink much!
Chao Jianxue was secretly annoyed and went downstairs to sleep in his own pile of books.
Come back tomorrow to see if you feel dizzy!
The moonlight was cold, and the night wind blew the window half open.
A crisp bird song made Yu Wei look away. There stood a snow-white bird on the window frame.
The bird often came, and the coldness in Yu Wei's eyes faded a lot. He raised his finger slightly, and the bird flew over excitedly, standing on his knuckles and tilting its head to look at him.
"Do you believe he is really dead? I don't believe it." Yu Wei looked at it and said, his voice was like a whisper.
"If he is dead, why is there no bone left? I have turned over the Mo Lake several times, and I have killed big fish that can devour spiritual creatures, but I can't find it. How could he... How could he lie to me like that and then die like this?"
The bird blinked its eyes like small black beans, jumped to the table, and stretched its head to look into the teacup.
Its bulging cheeks were reflected on the surface of the tea.
Yu Wei picked up another cup filled with wine and drank it all.
"I don't believe he would give up his life on his own initiative. A liar like him must have found a place to hide... Where do you think he would go? Hmm?"
Although the bird was born in the One Leaf Boat Fairyland and was born with a little intelligence, it still couldn't understand what Yu Wei said. It seemed to feel thirsty and lowered its head to drink from the tea cup.
"Is he afraid of being killed, so he doesn't want to show up? It doesn't matter. When I find him, I will hide him well... You say, have I been bewitched by the demon? I was obviously deceived like that, but I still can't forget it... Am I really a little crazy?"
The bird raised its head, and Yu Wei's pale face was reflected in its dark eyes. There seemed to be an unknown light flashing in his eyes, which the bird couldn't understand.
But Yu Wei soon realized that something was wrong with him. He coughed, closed his eyes, and the strange light disappeared immediately.
The bird called crisply, and then walked forward a few steps, and then a few steps back.
Suddenly, it stumbled, then rolled down from the edge of the table and rolled into Yu Wei's palm, which was stretched out to catch it.
Yu Wei raised his hand and frowned.
The bird was not dead, but the already weak spiritual power in its body was gone all of a sudden, and it was unconscious with its feet up.
How could this be?
Yu Wei's eyes fell on the tea it had just drunk.
It was the cup that Lu Ren poured.
Yu Wei picked it up, looked at the clear green tea in it, and smelled it carefully. There was nothing wrong.
But after thinking about it, he still flew out with the teacup.
In Yiyun Valley, the night was deep and the dew was heavy, and the thick fog never dissipated.
Yu Wei's arrival surprised the head of Yiyun Valley a little, and he yawned: "Why is Master Yuzhou here now? Invite me to drink tea at this time?"
She glanced at the teacup in his hand.
Yu Wei said, "I'm bothering you so late at night because I want to ask the master what's in this cup."
The master showed an expression of "Are you kidding me?". In order to save face for the master of Yiyezhou, she had to take it and smell it carefully: "Isn't this tea..."
Halfway through her words, she was startled.
"Wait a minute!" She instantly became more energetic, said this to Yu Wei, and turned to go into her own medicine room.
-The
next day, Chao Jianxue was still sleeping.
But he was restless in his sleep. Sometimes he felt the weightlessness when he jumped off the moon viewing platform, and sometimes he saw the face of his master, Nanshan Qiushui, and Yu Wei...
He actually often dreamed of Yu Wei. In his dream, he had the face that was still relatively immature in his memory, raised his sword and swung it, and the Xuanzhen world was destroyed.
Chao Jianxue rolled out of the smoke and dust that was rolling towards him in his dream, and suddenly rolled to the ground, and his shoulder hit something strange.
He opened his eyes confusedly and looked up. It turned out to be the more mature and cold version of Yu Wei, the master of Yuzhou, than in his dream.
The other person lowered his head and looked at him, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Chao Jianxue saw it clearly, and he shuddered and knelt up, saying, "What do you want, Master?"
Yu Wei said, "Stand up."
Chao Jianxue stood up, but still didn't dare to look at him.
Yu Wei said again, "Start learning."
After that, he sat on the upper seat and began to meditate.
Chao Jianxue raised his eyelids and glanced at him, just like that?
Could it be that the murderous intent just now was just a dream or a mistake?
This is also a possibility.
He folded the mattress slowly, sat aside and began to look at the exercises.
Glancing at Yu Wei again.
Didn't you say yesterday that he could learn by himself? Why do they really have to face each other day and night now?
With such a master, eating, drinking and living together, and cooling his body, if he met a timid disciple, wouldn't he be frozen to death?
"Do you know how to use a sword?"
Chao Jianxue said "ah", then stammered, "Not very good."
Yu Wei said calmly, "Come with me at noon, I will teach you how to use a sword."
Chao Jianxue said "ah" again.
Yu Wei looked over, quite coldly, "Don't want to?"
Chao Jianxue shook his head quickly, "I am willing to! Master Zhou taught me, I am so happy that I am speechless!"
But if you really want to use a sword, everyone has muscle memory, and he is afraid that he will accidentally reveal the flaws of his previous sword skills. What's more, when they were in Wuwei Sect, it was Yu Wei who had been practicing sword with him. He knew all his sword moves and ideas, and no one was more familiar with him than him.
Chao Jianxue had a headache, and covered his head to look at those skills.
"Memorize this book before noon."
Chao Jianxue was shocked!
How could Yu Wei be a master like this! It's all because of Master Mu Yuan's good start!
"What? Do you think I'm too strict?"
Chao Jianxue flattered, "A strict teacher produces excellent students, and I am willing to do it!"
Yu Wei nodded, "Go ahead and
recite it." When he recited it to the point of pain, Chao Jianxue had the urge to tear off his disguise and pounce on Yu Wei, grab his throat and shout, "Recite, recite, recite, recite!"
But he couldn't.
Although he felt that Yu Wei still had feelings for him, but...
Chao Jianxue didn't believe that Yu Wei would completely favor him.
Time passed until the sun was at its highest point.
Chao Jianxue was so excited that his head was hot, and he was still struggling to memorize the last paragraph. A slender hand like a jade sculpture took the scroll from his hand.
Yu Wei's soft sleeve brushed Chao Jianxue's nose, and then he heard his devilish whisper: "Start."
Chao Jianxue almost recited it in one breath.
He stood in front of Yu Wei with an expressionless face and began to recite words.
Once he recited it wrong, Yu Wei would look up at him, and as soon as he saw him, he knew that he was wrong, and quickly replied to the previous sentence.
But there were always a few sentences that he couldn't remember.
Yu Wei said in a deep voice: "With your qualifications, you shouldn't have missed this sentence. I guess you were just being lazy. Stretch out your hand."
Chao Jianxue's fist hardened again.
He wanted to jump on Yu Wei's head and strangle him.
Yu Wei raised his long eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you just say that you are willing to be a disciple?"
Chao Jianxue had no choice but to stretch out his hand, turn his head away, and face his palm upwards.
A ruler appeared in Yu Wei's palm. Chao Jianxue glanced at it and clenched his teeth, half nervous and half ashamed.
He waited for a long time in fear, but Yu Wei didn't make a move, so
he turned his head to look at his palm, and didn't see anything unusual. His disguised hand was smaller than his own, and the color was not as white.
But Yu Wei looked at the palm, as if thinking about something.
Chao Jianxue thought he was not going to be beaten, and tried to take his hand back, but was caught by Yu Wei again.
The ruler came down with a "snap".
Chao Jianxue burst into tears.
His ruler was not as effective as Master Mu Yuan's. After the beating, there was a red mark on the palm, which was very eye-catching.
"Come out and practice swordsmanship after half an incense stick." After saying that, Yu Wei went out.
Chao Jianxue covered her hands and cursed inwardly. Looking at her swollen palms, she swallowed a breath: He endured it!
When he tied up the person, he would hit his palms, hit him hard! After
leaving the door, Yu Wei pinched a spell into the sound transmission sound: "You thought right, this person is indeed a disguise, and his palm lines are very messy."
Not long after, the voice of the head of Yiyun Valley came from the other side: "Do you think it is related to the monster that broke into the Yiye Boat the day before yesterday?"
Yu Wei said: "Yes or no, if I push him to the extreme, I don't believe he won't reveal his flaws."
The head of Yiyun Valley said: "Although you are a Mahayana, you must be careful about everything. If it is really a monster, it is best to capture it alive. Let several elders of the Immortal Sect come forward to negotiate with the Monster Domain."
Yu Wei said: "Thank you."
"You kid..." She seemed to have something else to say, but finally gave up and cut off the sound transmission.
Yu Wei broke a lotus in his hand and tilted his head to look.
The unknown disciple walked out of the White Jade Building. He was not tall, but his walking posture was inexplicably familiar. He walked over slowly, but his back did not have the timid curve of an ordinary disciple. The breeze blew across the lotus leaves behind him and also blew across the ends of his light hair.
