Chapter 8: Juquan is a bit hypocritical towards his junior apprentice
Chapter 8: Everything is Complete It’s a bit hypocritical to be a junior brother
. The furnishings in the inner room are simple, with only a small couch for the students who are obsessed with learning to stay overnight, but it is obvious that the usage rate here is not high, and all the utensils are brand new.
Chao Jianxue gestured at the size of the small couch, and it looked like it could only accommodate one person.
However, before he could speak, Yu Wei had already taken a cushion against the wall, sat down by himself, closed his eyes and meditated.
Just right.
Chao Jianxue had no psychological burden, extinguished the candle, and went to bed with clothes on.
During the day, they practiced their own things, and occasionally the master came to see, or Nanshan and Qiushui came to talk to Yu Wei. At night, the two of them were in the same room, but Yu Wei was too quiet, and Chao Jianxue could not see him when he woke up.
In the past few days of memorizing, he was getting smoother and smoother, and even Mu Yuan sighed that "my head seems to be much brighter after coming back from the dead."
It was not known whether it was because he was exhausted every day and had used up all his brain cells, or because he felt depressed staying with Yu Wei, but he could not even last a month. After about ten days, Chao Jianxue felt dizzy and could hardly hold on.
Early that morning, Yu Wei came back from sword practice, and Chao Jianxue was still sleeping in the inner room.
He untied his sleeves, leaned against the door and called out "Senior Brother" twice, and heard Chao Jianxue's uncomfortable groan.
He pushed the door open and walked closer to see that Chao Jianxue was lying on the small couch, his face flushed, his breathing heavy, and he actually had a fever.
How could a good disciple of immortal cultivation have a fever for unknown reasons?
It could only be attributed to the fact that Chao Jianxue's physique was too weak.
When Mu Yuan came to see, the originally scheduled one-month confinement ended ahead of schedule, and he was taken back to Qingxuezhu to recuperate.
After asking the elders of Yaolu, he said, "He must have suffered internal injuries in the previous immortal sect competition. It takes a lot of spiritual power to activate those spiritual tools. Now his dantian is exhausted. He should have had dizziness these days, but he didn't complain about it?"
Chao Jianxue used to be weak and sickly. He would cry when he was sick or in pain. The elders were used to it.
Mu Yuan frowned and said, "Not at all. It's my fault. I didn't notice that he was wrong."
Yu Wei listened from the side. Thinking of the scene at dusk that day, Chao Jianxue did look extremely weak, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Why didn't he notice it?
Living with him these days, Chao Jianxue has been unhappy. He thought it was because he didn't like to practice.
Chao Jianxue was buried in the soft quilt on the couch, with his eyes closed. He didn't know if he had a nightmare or was uncomfortable from the illness. His eyelashes kept shaking.
Yu Wei retracted his gaze.
"I didn't pay attention. Please punish me, Master." He said.
Mu Yuan waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, go back."
The next day, the disciples still attended the morning class together, and there was an empty seat on the other side.
Nanshan asked tentatively: "Is he pretending to be sick or is he really sick?"
This was a habitual guess. After all, Chao Jianxue was fine when he came to the library a few days ago. How could he suddenly get sick?
Yu Wei was unhappy in his heart, and he himself couldn't explain why these emotions came from. The warm spring breeze-like smile disappeared and only a chill remained: "Brother, go and see for yourself."
Nanshan touched the back of his head: "Hey... ask..."
The little junior brother seemed to have never been angry. Is this reaction considered angry? A little scary.
After lying in bed for two days, Chao Jianxue's spiritual power slowly recovered, the dizziness faded, and he jumped out of bed and was a brave man again!
He knew that he was a blessing in disguise, and he didn't have to stay in the small library with Yu Wei for the time being.
So, while the head and the master did not mention the confinement again, he left Qingxuezhu with a refreshed spirit as soon as he recovered.
He went to Wenyaolu first.
Seeking medical advice was important. He needed to know why his body was so weak and whether it was possible to become stronger.
Wenyaolu was on the next mountain peak. There was a waterfall rushing down from the cliff beside it. Chao Jianxue stepped on the cliff and looked down. He was caught off guard and almost had acrophobia.
It turned out that several peaks of Wuwei Xianzong were floating in the sky without support. Below was the deep blue sea, with countless waves of light.
Chao Jianxue looked again and again, and was curious about where the water of the waterfall came from. Could it be water from the sky?
He looked up and saw the blue and white sun, which was dazzling.
"Be careful, kid!"
Suddenly, there was a sharp shout, and Chao Jianxue was grabbed by the collar and took three steps back, still in shock.
It turned out that the elder of Wenyaolu was named Lin.
Beside him was a basket of spiritual herbs he had just picked. Many of them fell to the ground and curled up, dying as soon as they touched the ground.
Elder Lin said angrily: "Chao Jianxue, are you looking for death by standing there?"
Chao Jianxue was stunned by the question and shook his head: "I, I'm just taking a look..."
"Take a look? How can you look like that? Your head is about to stick out! Your spiritual power is exhausted. If you fall down, you can't even fly. If you fall into the sea, you will be smashed to pieces!"
After being misunderstood and scolded, Chao Jianxue said embarrassedly: "Elder Lin, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Elder Lin gave up and picked up the spiritual herbs on the ground with a distressed look, and the two wisps of white beard on his lips curled up.
Chao Jianxue helped him pick up the things: "Elder, I'm here to see you."
After explaining his purpose, Elder Lin looked him up and down for a long time, snatched his hand and touched his soul, and after a long time, he smiled with relief: "Good, good, I almost thought you were possessed by another body, but it turns out that you have three souls and six spirits."
After his explanation, it was known that the original owner's previous dullness and lack of human nature was due to an incomplete soul.
Except for a few masters, no one in Wuwei Sect knew about this. When Qishan Zhenjun brought Chao Jianxue back, Chao Jianxue was still a baby. Qishan took her from a demon at Fumoguan Pass. It is estimated that she was affected by the demonic energy, resulting in an incomplete soul.
The incomplete soul is an unsolved mystery. In Elder Lin's opinion, Chao Jianxue was resurrected from the dead and found his soul by coincidence, which was a great blessing after misfortune.
Only Chao Jianxue was clear, because he occupied the body of the original owner.
He asked, "Is there still hope for my body to continue practicing? It's really unbearable to be sick all the time."
Elder Lin said to him earnestly, "Everyone has their own fate in practicing. You just need to practice diligently when you are not sick, and listen to my advice when you are sick. However, your soul will be restored, and perhaps the things that were difficult to open in the past will gradually become open."
In short, there is hope.
Chao Jianxue made up his mind.
He couldn't come here in vain.
Chao Jianxue vowed to make a name for himself in the Xuanzhen Realm, so he came to the top of Fuxian Mountain with great interest and watched his three junior brothers and sisters practice swords.
Qiushui was the first to notice him. He put away his sword and was quite alert: "What are you doing here, senior brother?"
Chao Jianxue, adhering to the pragmatic spirit of seeking knowledge and progress, said: "I am here to observe."
This answer was confusing to Qiushui. In the air, two sword sounds rang out like dragon roars, and Nanshan and Yuwei flew down. The former saw Chao Jianxue and said in surprise: "Aren't you sick?"
Chao Jianxue nodded: "I'm fine."
He didn't say hello to Yuwei, but just said: "You practice yours, I'll just watch."
Only when he was there, the three of them couldn't move freely. Chao Jianxue came to watch them practice sword, which was
the first time in history. The sun was about to rise from the west. In the gap between Yu Wei's peripheral vision when he swung his sword, he felt that Chao Jianxue was thinner than before. Not practicing, fasting for a few days and lying down for a few days, so naturally she was thinner. Standing there, her slender waist was conspicuous, and the belt around her waist was much longer than others.
"Junior brother!" Nanshan, who was practicing with him, shouted, and Yu Wei lay on his back and bent his waist to avoid his sword.
Nanshan felt very sorry: "I finally caught your flaw, but you dodged it again."
But seeing that Yu Wei's breathing was more unstable than before, he said proudly: "Not bad, I have also made progress!"
He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but Yu Wei hesitated for a moment, stood firm, put away his sword, and shook his head: "No more practice."
Except for him, the two of them practiced to the point of excitement, and watched Yu Wei leave, and couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
Qiushui said, "Is the junior brother a little absent-minded? Did you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation?"
Nanshan said, "It turned out to be fine..."
When passing by Chao Jianxue, Yu Wei paused slightly and showed him the courtesy of a fellow disciple. Chao Jianxue folded his arms and looked at him, and sneered, "Bye."
His tone was light and the ending tone was upturned, because he believed that Yu Wei didn't want him to see his sword moves.
Although the sword moves of the sect are inherited from the same lineage, each of them has its own merits. Competitions and sparring between fellow disciples are also to expose each other's shortcomings so that they can be improved.
What's wrong with letting him learn something secretly? You are so stingy.
Hearing his strange words, Yu Wei rarely showed a puzzled expression: "Bye...bye?"
Chao Jianxue said seriously: "I was talking nonsense, it means goodbye."
So Yu Wei was silent for a moment, and also said to him seriously: "Senior brother, see you later."
"Are you really leaving?" Nanshan watched Yu Wei's back reluctantly. Chao
Jianxue walked to a pavilion and sat down: "He left, you can continue." That
's right.
Nanshan and Qiushui continued to fight. After a fierce battle, they rested. Chao Jianxue asked, "Junior brothers and sisters, there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time. Are you originally called this name?"
He spoke in a way that was inexplicably intimate, and his expression was even softer, as if he wanted to talk to them on purpose.
Qiushui said frankly, "When my senior brother and I were still in our infancy, we lost our village due to the chaos caused by demons. We were saved by our master by chance, and that's when we were given names."
Chao Jianxue didn't expect this to happen. Demons and the like were still far away from him, and it was hard to imagine for a while.
But he knew that this question might touch the hearts of the two, so he sincerely said "sorry".
Qiushui was stunned and quickly waved his hands, "What's the big deal! My senior brother and I are already lucky, but it's a pity that we don't have the talent of my junior brother, otherwise we would have wanted to go down the mountain to kill demons and eliminate evil."
Chao Jianxue looked at them and said firmly, "It will be possible."
He now looked like a righteous and friendly senior brother. Nanshan and Qiushui were speechless for a while, and they didn't know where to start if they had something to say.
Why was he so touched?
Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Chao Jianxue made another friendly invitation: "I want to go to the dining hall to eat, do you want to join us?"
The two felt that it was weird to eat with him, and refused: "We are fasting..."
"Oh," Chao Jianxue nodded in understanding, "see you later."
People who fast are accustomed to using spiritual energy as nourishment, so they no longer need ordinary food supplies. They only break the rules when they are greedy.
After a short while, Qiu Shui thought for a while, and said: "I seem to feel that Chao Jianxue's attitude towards saying goodbye to us is different from that towards my junior brother."
Nanshan didn't react: "What's the difference?"
Qiu Shui said: "How should I put it, it's a bit hypocritical to my junior brother."
