When they heard that he was the one who released the dog, several disciples became angry and panicked.
But the dogs’ teeth were hanging on their necks, and they felt so cold that they were about to cry. They didn’t care about their face and cried to their parents: “Ancestors, please let us go. We are just passing by. Please take these dogs back!”
Pei Jing: "Passing by? You don't know what you did. Do you like to hear dogs barking? Come, I'll let you hear enough."
After saying that, several vicious dogs started barking again.
Several disciples were stunned and immediately regretted their decision. They had guessed that Ji Wuyou was able to enter Shangyang Peak because of his backstage support, but they were deceived by his silly appearance and actually forgot about this.
It's too late now. I regret so much that I'm kowtowed on the spot.
"No, no, no, we don't like to hear dogs barking at all, please forgive us, ancestor!"
"We were just joking with Ji Wuyou. Look, isn't he laughing happily?"
Pei Jing laughed out loud: "I think you guys are pretty happy too."
This time, several people couldn't even cry.
Pei Jing didn't want to kill them all. After all, Ji Wuyou really felt lonely and wanted to make friends with these people. If they treated Ji Wuyou well, it would probably have a good effect on influencing that idiot.
"I can let you go, but you have to promise me one thing."
How could everyone not respond? They cried with joy and nodded.
"You say it, you say it. We will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for you."
Pei Jing sneered, "You guys are so brave that you dare to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire?" He thought for a moment and said slowly, "Ji Wuyou is an old friend of mine. I don't want to kill you today because that kid treats you as his friends and I don't want to make him sad. He is immature and I can't always be by his side to look after him, so he will inevitably be bullied. So, if you want to leave tonight, you have to serve him as your ancestor from now on. Do you understand?"
Everyone is feeling miserable.
If they had known that there was such a living devil behind Ji Wuyou, they would not have said a word to him.
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't agree?"
The dog barked twice more.
Everyone: “Promise, promise!!”
Pei Jing was satisfied and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come back to see you after a while. If you dare to lie to me..." The rest of the words were hidden in his smile.
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, his scalp tingled, and he smiled weakly, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Pei Jing looked at them with pity. These people might not know that he was saving them. Now they were just scared by the dog. When Ji Wuyou awakens and turns evil, he will be tortured to the point of being nothing.
When Pei Jing disappeared, the dog's figure also slowly disappeared. Several people climbed up from the ground with complaints, brushed off the dust and grass on their bodies, and felt despair in their hearts.
"I thought I had recruited a fool as my follower, but I didn't expect to offend a living devil."
"I had planned everything for the future to be perfect! I didn't expect it was us who were arranged! Ugh!"
Ji Wuyou would never have thought that he would have such a warm group of "friends" tomorrow.
Now he is lost.
On the way back to the cave, he was forced by an unknown senior brother to deliver a magical medicine. He didn't know how to refuse, so he just accepted it foolishly.
After leaving Shangyang Peak, he, who knew nothing about Yunxiao, came to Zhongnan Peak, the very edge of Yunxiao.
Zhongnan Peak is located in a remote area, adjacent to a mountain forest. At night, the stars and moonlight are dim and it is pitch black.
The jackdaw screamed, flapped its wings and flew off from the branch, following the ghostly shadow that flashed through the forest.
There seems to be someone in the woods.
Ji Wuyou was a little scared, but he had to do what he promised to others.
He swallowed, held the box in his arms, and walked deep into the forest.
"Give it to Senior Brother Changwu. Where is Senior Brother Changwu?"
At this time, all the monks were practicing in their caves, and few people came out. He wandered around alone, not knowing where to go. When he entered the forest, everything looked the same. He thought sadly that he was lost.
The wind was blowing very hard, he was cold and hungry, and could not walk, so he simply sat down under a tree.
"Let's wait till dawn to look for it. I'm so hungry."
After saying that, he leaned back and heard the woman's faint voice: "Are you hungry?"
Ji Wuyou was so scared that he sat up immediately and looked around, but found no one.
The voice was ethereal and cold: "Are you hungry?"
Ji Wuyou hugged the box and swallowed, "Who are you?"
The woman laughed softly: "It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to answer me, are you hungry?"
Ji Wuyou's face turned pale and he said, "No, I'm not hungry."
The woman said, "You little liar, there is a price to pay for lying. Tell me honestly whether you are hungry or not. I won't hurt you."
She said she wouldn't hurt him.
Ji Wuyou's stomach growled twice. He lowered his head shyly and whispered, "I'm a little hungry."
The woman said seductively: "How pitiful! I'll give you something to eat."
Ji Wuyou asked: "What is it?"
The woman said, "Close your eyes and open your mouth."
Ji Wuyou believed it, and really stood under the tree, opening his mouth. He vaguely felt something tapping his back from time to time. After closing his eyes, the world was pitch black, and he could hear every little movement. Suddenly, he heard a sharp sound of wind in his ears, and felt something rushing down, with a foul smell and fishy smell, covering his face.
But immediately, it disappeared, followed by the woman's desperate cry of collapse.
It's so sad that it makes your scalp tingle.
Ji Wuyou was so scared that he opened his eyes immediately, only to see a woman's head on the ground, bluish-white, with deep and malicious resentment in her staring eyes.
He yelled and leaned back, but his back hit something.
Turn around and look up.
Hanging on the tree was a woman's body, swaying left and right in the wind. She was wearing a white funeral dress, but on her feet were embroidered shoes for a bride. Her neck was infinitely stretched, hanging down to her waist.
The neck just extended as if it wanted to swallow him in one bite.
Ji Wuyou was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He covered his eyes and half-knelt down. He cried and chanted, "Don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me."
The female ghost on the ground died with her eyes wide open, gazing at the man behind Ji Wuyou with resentment, but she could not say anything. In an instant her head turned into dirty blood.
Ji Wuyou covered his head and hid himself, when he suddenly heard footsteps.
It's so light, it feels like you're walking in the air.
The person who came spoke softly and gently: "She can't eat you anymore, don't be afraid."
That kind of tenderness was like a dream, and it stopped his tears.
Ji Wuyou turned around and saw an old woman who did not match the voice at all. The old woman was leaning on a cane, bent over, with a very kind face. When she smiled, her eyes were slits hidden in the wrinkles.
Ji Wuyou sniffed and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
The old woman asked, “Are you in trouble?”
Ji Wuyou thought of the picture book he read when he was a child, and asked blankly: "Are you a god?"
The old woman smiled gently: "Yes, I can help you solve your problem, as long as you tell me."
Ji Wuyou's eyes lit up and he wiped away his tears: "Really? I can't find Senior Brother Changwu's cave, but I want to give this box to him today. Can you take me there?"
The old woman said, “Of course.”
She was leaning on a cane, and from her dark blue sleeves, she revealed a pair of well-maintained female hands, with slender fingers that didn't match her face.
The old woman's hair was gray, black and silver mixed together. She was smiling and spoke in a friendly tone, but she gave people a sense of being ethereal and far away. As if she was out of the sky.
Ji Wuyou followed her like a child: "Did you save me just now?"
The old woman said, "No, you saved yourself. I'm sorry, I can't do anything for you."
Ji Wuyou: "Ah?"
The old woman just smiled and didn't answer him. She said, "Go along this road. There is a cave at the end. It is the residence of the senior brother you mentioned. Go, child."
Ji Wuyou walked forward and looked back, confused: "Are you from here? Why do I feel like I've seen you before?"
The old woman smiled and said, "I watched you being born, watched you growing up, and will watch you throughout your long life. Of course you are familiar with me."
Ji Wuyou felt that she was lying to him: "But why don't I remember it."
The old woman said, "Don't remember. You didn't know of my existence before, and I hope you won't know in the future."
Ji Wuyou didn't understand what she was saying, but he didn't ask any more questions. He walked forward slowly.
After watching Ji Wuyou leave, the old woman stood there. She tilted her head, her eyes hidden in the wrinkles, without emotion, ethereal and empty, looking towards the direction of Shangyang Peak in the north. She stood in the dark night of grass, trees, mountains and rivers, but could not blend into any scene. She was not touched by light or dust. But she brought a shock from the depths of the soul to all the enlightened and unenlightened creatures in this area.
Ji Wuyou thought: "Have I really seen that old woman just now?"
He knocked on the cave door.
An evil voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Ji Wuyou swallowed and asked, "Is Senior Brother Changwu here?"
The world behind the door is a purgatory. A pool of blood, severed limbs, a head that was being gnawed, and a monk named Changwu, whose eyes were abnormally blood red. He sniffed and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He smelled a very strange scent.
Outside.
It made him feel awe and fear from the bottom of his heart, but also made him salivate with desire.
Pei Jing returned to the cave and first fed the spirit mouse some water. It scratched the edge of the cage with its claws, making a crisp sound. Pei Jing laughed and said, "Do you want to escape from prison?"
He used his finger to push the rat's head back: "Stay still."
Then, he went to harass Chu Junyu as usual. Chu Junyu did not close the door this time, so he went in naturally.
Pei Jing got straight to the point: "I did a good thing today."
Chu Junyu was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed practicing, and opened his eyes when he heard his voice.
Pei Jing stuffed a candy into his mouth and sat across from him nonchalantly: "I taught a lesson to the gang of hooligans who bullied Ji Wuyou. Although I promised you to ignore Ji Wuyou, I still think I can take care of things like bullying fellow disciples."
Chu Junyu was silent for a long time. He looked towards the south with his light-colored eyes, which were very deep and far away. His whole temperament was as cold as ice.
Pei Jing said: "Are you listening to me?"
Chu Junyu retracted his gaze and said, "Mind your own business."
Pei Jing: "... ... How can it be called meddling in other people's business?"
Chu Junyu said: "It is not your turn to interfere in Ji Wuyou's affairs. Someone is protecting him well."
"Who is it?" Pei Jing became interested. He was just kidding. Could it be that Chu Junyu, a native, knew the protagonist better than him who had read the original novel
"You tell me about it."
Chu Junyu stretched out his hand, blocked his head and said, "You can't afford to offend someone."
Pei Jing: "This is normal! How can I, a Qi Refining disciple, afford to offend anyone in the entire Yunxiao?"
Chu Junyu lowered his eyes to look at him, a hint of cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You can't afford to offend others, but you can afford to lose face."
Pei Jing was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant. This kid was scolding him again. He was both angry and amused: "No, you have to explain it to me today! How am I embarrassing? You dared to say that I was embarrassing during the Yinghui Peak competition. Weren't you so handsome that they were speechless?"
He pounced on him and almost pushed Chu Junyu against the wall.
Chu Junyu took a deep breath: "..."
He pushed Pei Jing away and got off the stone bed.
He was dressed in snow-white clothes and had a cold temperament. He sent the guest away without saying a word.
When Pei Jing was driven out by him, he kept looking back: "I advise you not to be prejudiced against Ji Wuyou, brother, I am very good at judging people, that boy is not an ordinary person."
Chu Junyu sneered silently.
After Pei Jing left, the stone door closed. Chu Junyu sat down again, his expression turned cold, and a layer of ice appeared in his eyes.
Facing the candlelight, he slid his fingers across the blade, and his entire aura instantly changed, becoming dangerous and evil.
"As expected of you, you are the protagonist. But what's the point of you coming out?"
The author has something to say: In the next chapter, Miss Yu Qinglian will appear. Then change the venue and follow the plot.
Guess who this old woman is~ Based on my description of her, it should be easy to guess
Merry Christmas Eve
