Day 2, Hidden, same location.
As soon as Ji Wuyou came in, he was warmly welcomed by a group of people.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"Good morning, Brother Ji."
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"We have accepted a mission at the consulate today, and we were thinking of bringing you along. Let's go."
Ji Wuyou didn't sleep well last night, his eyes were dark blue, and he was in a daze. When they pounced on him, he thought he was in a dream, so he pinched himself hard and was surprised to find that it was not a dream.
"You, you guys..."
The few of them were really scared by the dog last night, and now when they saw Ji Wuyou, they really treated him as their ancestor. They went up to him, put their arms around his shoulders, and pushed him out the door like a good brother: "Are you hungry? If you are, let's go eat something first."
It was the first time that Ji Wuyou was treated so warmly, as if they were real friends. He smiled slowly and shyly.
With bright eyes, he nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Xu Jing, who was passing by with a book in his arms, was so stunned that he almost banged his head against the wall.
Pei Jing happened to walk in from outside.
Xu Jing pointed at the group of people who were rushing away and said, "Am I blind, or are they crazy?"
Pei Jing glanced at him and said, "Maybe he has come to his senses. After all, Ji Wuyou is such a cute little fat boy." Xu Jing curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you."
When Pei Jing said this, his gaze paused on Ji Wuyou's back.
He vaguely sensed a bloody, dangerous aura from the protagonist, but it was so faint that it could be ignored, and it seemed like an illusion.
"Where did Ji Wuyou go yesterday?"
Pei Jing didn't remember the plot of "Zhu Jian" very clearly.
But the protagonist didn't seem to have any adventures in the early stages.
The real path of killing gods and Buddhas when meeting them will only begin after his bloodline awakens, that is, after he escapes from Pei Yuzhi's hands.
He recalled what Xu Jing said, that there were demons rampant outside Yunxiao and eating people. Could it be that Ji Wuyou encountered a demon cultivator last night? But he is still alive and kicking, so he is probably safe. Pei Jing put this matter aside for the time being.
Ji Wuyou gained the first kindness and tenderness in his life at Shangyang Peak, and had a great time with his new friends. Pei Jing also received the last letter from Ji Wuduan, which was delivered to him personally by Chen Xu.
He really got a headache when he saw Chen Xu. "Just tell me the message, why are you here?" He hurriedly pushed him out, fearing that Chu Junyu would see him. But Chu Junyu still saw him, right at the entrance of the cave.
In the shade of flowers and plants, Chen Xu looked like a young man, wearing a blue and white robe, with a gentle temperament. When he met Chu Junyu's eyes, he was also stunned.
Pei Jing hurriedly explained: "This is a letter from Yunxiao. My family has sent me a letter. I'm going to be out for a while."
Chen Xu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. But Pei Jing pulled him out by the sleeve, and he didn't have time to say anything.
Chu Junyu stood still, his head tilted. The young man's profile was delicate and his expression was cold.
As they walked away, the noisy voices of Pei Jing and Chen Xu could be heard.
Chen Xu: "If one day I were reduced to delivering letters, Yunxiao would probably be finished."
Pei Jing: "Come on, you? Yunxiao is the same with or without you, can you be a little more self-aware?"
Chen Xu: "Can you speak human language once a day?"
Chu Junyu withdrew his gaze.
The robe brushed past the flowers and plants on the roadside like a gust of snowy wind.
Ji Wuduan's letter contained a key piece of information. The same Seven Killings Song appeared in a third place. And it appeared a long time ago, at the border of Wuwang Peak, in the home of a down-and-out scholar.
He learned this from the records of a senior in the ghost realm. The senior just thought that the poem written in blood on the wall was a bit weird, so he wrote it down, and with just a few words, Ji Wuduan still noticed it.
Pei Jing thought: Wuwang Peak? There shouldn't be another Wuwang Peak in the world.
Ji Wuduan said that after calculating the years, it should have happened four hundred years ago.
Four hundred years ago, the demons were rampant in the Fourteen States of Yunzhong and he became famous with his sword.
Pei Jing was stunned. When he first went deeper, he just thought that it was an old Yuanying ancestor who had gone astray. Now, based on Ji Wuduan's description, there might be a deeper truth that he had not discovered.
Ji Wuduan also said that Yu Qinglian has already arrived in Canghua Continent and should be in Yunxiao in a few days, and will take you to go to Wuwang Peak together.
Pei Jing frowned, put away the letter, turned his head and said to Chen Xu: "I have to go out for a while. There have been demon cultivators causing trouble near Yunxiao in recent days. You should be more careful."
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "I know. Several elders from nearby sects asked Yun Xiao for help, and I am also investigating this matter now."
Pei Jing nodded.
Those demon cultivators haven't shown any clues yet, so it's hard to take action. And with Yun Xiao's intervention, they will definitely restrain themselves in the near future, so there's no need to rush.
The disciples of Shangyang Peak arrange their own training and cultivation.
Pei Jing didn't need to report to anyone when he went out, he was just waiting for Yu Qinglian.
It was unknown how long the trip to Wuwang Peak would take, so Pei Jing handed his spirit rat to another female cultivator.
While transferring the spirit rat, Pei Jing asked, "Do you know a cultivator named Ji Wuyou from Shangyang Peak?"
The female cultivator placed the spirit mouse in her palm and asked in confusion, "That silly little fat boy, you know, what happened?"
Pei Jing hadn't seen Ji Wuyou for a while. After thinking for a while, he made up an excuse and said, "He and I are from the same place. I just wanted to pay more attention to him. I haven't seen him much in the past few days. I'm a little curious about where he went."
The female cultivator laughed and said, "He has been running errands for others these days."
Pei Jing frowned: "What?"
The female cultivator shook her head and said, "He seems to be stupid and easy to bully, so he won't refuse anyone. Some of the brothers were assigned by the elders to deliver herbs and elixirs, and they all went to him. He is seen running back and forth between several peaks all day long, which is a thankless job."
Pei Jing sighed deeply in his heart: "I know."
Sure enough, it is not possible to give Ji Wuyou a few "friends" to make him live a truly worry-free life in Shangyang Peak. Ji Wuyou was still in his ignorant period and was bullied because of his personality. Now he is just running errands, and who knows what will happen in the future.
He met Ji Wuyou again. The strange aura on Ji Wuyou was even stronger. It was not from him, but from the people he had come into contact with. It was bloody and weird.
Pei Jing watched secretly.
Yu Qinglian came to Yunxiao on a rainy afternoon. The mist and rain moistened the mountains with a dark green color, and the fog was hazy and misty. Pei Jing happened to have received a mission in the consulate building and came back from outside. When crossing the suspension bridge, before seeing anyone, he heard the bell tied on her ankle.
In the green smoke, a touch of red is particularly eye-catching.
The girl has a graceful figure, black hair like clouds, tied in a bun. She walks slowly along the suspension bridge, her steps full of charm.
The light rain fell on her white feet, and the golden bells on her ankles sparkled.
Yu Qinglian said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Yunxiao has followed this tradition for hundreds of years. You can't fly with a sword or fly. You have to walk on the ground. It's really inflexible."
There was someone beside her. He was wearing a golden and white robe, holding a monk's staff, with a long silk covering his eyes. It was Wusheng.
Wusheng smiled and said, "After all, Yunxiao Sect has ten thousand rules and three thousand precepts."
Yu Qinglian walked across the suspension bridge and picked a flower from the side of the road. She waved it in her hand, looking quite girlish. She sneered, "You must be kidding. The sect rule is 10,000 yuan. Where did you get 10,000 yuan from? After a careful calculation of the rules of the Yingzhou Palace, there is not even 1,000 yuan. If there is 10,000 yuan, I will eat the flower in my hand."
The young man's lazy voice came from behind. "Are you here in Yunxiao to get free food and drinks?"
Yu Qinglian and Wusheng turned around at the same time.
Amidst the mist and drizzle, a young man in white clothes walked out. Every inch of his features was elegant, and his smile was bright and spirited.
Yu Qinglian was stunned for a long time before she remembered what Ji Wuduan had told her, that Pei Yuzhi was so idle that he turned himself into a teenager and sneaked into the outer peak. But she still couldn't believe it and frowned: "You are really that boring."
Wusheng stood quietly aside, his temperament was bright and gentle. He smiled: "Long time no see. Yuzhi."
Wusheng is still likable. Pei Jing smiled: "Long time no see."
It has been a long time since we last met at Wentian Peak.
But Yu Qinglian is not someone worth reminiscing about.
She shook the flowers in her hand and said, "You can become smaller, but why do you want to be so cute?"
Pei Jing just smiled and said nothing. He said directly: "Ten thousand sect rules are written in the book. How do you plan to eat this flower? Eat it raw or with some soil."
Yu Qinglian: "... What a good way to entertain guests."
Wusheng laughed out loud, and then said, "Stop arguing, let's talk about business first."
Pei Jing naturally took them to Tianqian Peak.
Misty rain accompanies the green bamboo, and dew drops carry frost.
As soon as Yu Qinglian entered the palace, she looked around and said, "Your Tianqian Peak is really deserted."
Pei Jing said: "Not everyone can enter the Yunxiao Main Hall. It will be deserted if there are fewer people."
He took out the piece of paper he had found in the Changtian Secret Realm and placed it on the table: "Do you remember it?"
Yu Qinglian lowered her head and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.
Compare. The blood-red handwriting was equally twisted and hideous, and it was obvious that it was written by the same person. She frowned and said in a deep voice: "I found this next to Elder Qingluan's body. My mother was away, so I was asked to investigate this matter. Elder Qingluan was also a powerful Yuanying stage warrior in Yingzhou. He was able to kill her silently, so this person must be extremely powerful."
Pei Jing said: "If that person is going to die if he leaves this poem, then this time, it should be directed at me."
Yu Qinglian was stunned: "What's going on?"
Pei Jing briefly explained what happened in the Changtian Secret Realm. After hesitating for a while, he only vaguely mentioned the silver-haired man in black.
Wusheng said: "We have to be careful when we go back to Wuwang Peak this time."
Yu Qinglian paused, and then said, "Before leaving, my mother told me to go directly to Jingtianyuan after I break through the Nascent Soul stage. Have you received similar news?"
Wusheng tilted his head, "Yes, I also received a message from the ancestor of the Tibetan Dharma in Jingtian Temple, asking me to find him after I break through the Nascent Soul."
Pei Jing: "... Didn't my master tell me that something happened in Jingtianyuan? Why did such an order suddenly come out?"
Yu Qinglian was also unclear and said, "It seems to be about the ladder to heaven. As for the rest, we will understand it only after we get there."
Ladder to Heaven. Another ladder to heaven. The only way to ascend to the upper world.
Although the book "Zhu Jian" was not finished, and the main plot and the subplot were not obvious, Pei Jing did not think twice and believed that the key to repairing the ladder was still the protagonist.
Return to Shangyang Peak.
Pei Jing saw Chu Junyu sitting in his cave.
He was stunned, feeling confused.
Unconsciously, a year has passed.
Spent a whole year with Chu Junyu.
But he still couldn't see clearly the mysterious and indifferent young man who appeared on the broken bridge in the snow and wind.
He would never have thought of allowing someone of unknown background to stay around him for so long.
This sense of familiarity and trust came out of nowhere.
Pei Jing wondered: Has he been bewitched
Chu Junyu was also waiting for him to come back.
The faint candlelight reflected on the pale and transparent eyebrows of the young man. His hair was pitch black, his clothes were snow-white, and the moment his light-colored pupils looked over, they were thrillingly bright.
"You came to see me?" Pei Jing asked. It was really a coincidence that he had always been the one to pester Chu Junyu, but he never expected that one day Chu Junyu would come to him on his own initiative.
Chu Junyu lowered his eyes and hummed.
Pei Jing exclaimed: "It's an honor, it's an honor, just tell me what's the matter, just for your sincerity in coming to me, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for you."
Chu Junyu didn't want him to go through any trouble, so he frowned and said, "If you want to go out in the next few days, I will go with you."
Pei Jing was stunned: "How did you know I was going out?"
Chu Junyu said, "You've already sent the mouse away, so you're going out now."
Pei Jing was a man who knew how to grasp the key points. He couldn't help laughing: "Do you always care about me so much?"
Chu Junyu also smiled, with no emotion in his eyes.
Pei Jing had long been accustomed to his bad temper.
When he walked forward, he was surprised to find that the chess game he was playing with himself on the table was messed up by someone. It must be Chu Junyu who did it.
"You are still interested in playing chess, come on, let's play a game."
Chu Junyu: "Not interested."
Pei Jing thought for a moment and said, "Why are you not interested in anything? It's been a year and I haven't seen you really have any hobbies. But it may also be that I don't know you very well."
Chu Junyu was slightly stunned after hearing his words, and then said with a strange look: "How can you possibly understand me?"
Pei Jing said, "I can't say that absolutely. I just don't know your hobbies, but I have observed many details. You don't like light at night, and the candles are extinguished very early; you sleep very lightly and wake up at the slightest disturbance; you don't like to interact with people, and you don't like to talk. Most importantly, you have a deep prejudice against Yunxiao's senior brother."
Chu Junyu listened to his previous nonsense, and when he heard the last sentence, he said lightly: "Prejudice?"
Pei Jing said: "Yes. I bet you have never seen Pei Yuzhi. He puts one hat after another on people for no reason, saying they are 'nothing special' and stupid. If I were Pei Yuzhi, I would beat you up." But now he is Zhang Yiming.
Chu Junyu's gaze fell on Pei Jing's face.
The young man opposite had eyebrows and eyes full of romantic spirit, and his tone of voice was lazy, seven parts unrestrained and three parts casual.
He suddenly smiled, a short but beautiful smile.
Pei Jing didn't know what he was laughing at, and then said, "That's it."
Chu Junyu asked, "Do you want me to tell you about you?"
Pei Jing sat up straight: "What do you mean?"
Chu Junyu: "Stubborn and rigid, reckless and reckless. Picky and talkative, and unable to judge people well."
Pei Jing: "... I didn't say anything bad about you."
Chu Junyu said: "You are prejudiced against me because you trust your intuition, right?"
Pei Jing was stunned. Chu Junyu's glass-like eyes were like water beads, with a distant smile: "Perhaps you are more prejudiced against me."
When will you realize that nothing is absolute in this world. Even the order of heaven and the origin of creation are reversible.
Pei Jing didn't expect to be questioned like this. He paused and said slowly, "I was a little bit prejudiced at first, but it got better after you saved my life on the Broken Bridge. I wouldn't call it prejudice, but I think you might be happier if you let go of the hatred in your heart."
Let go of hatred.
Chu Junyu stared at him for a long time, wanting to laugh but unable to.
He leaned in. The depths of his eyes were tinged with red, like an abyss.
Pei Jing felt that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I don't mean that. I'm not asking you to pretend that nothing happened. Brother, what I mean is that you can take revenge on those who have bullied you, even if you cut them into pieces, but don't let them ruin your mood and accumulate hatred. Let thousands of idiots go, but don't think that the world is upside down because of a scumbag, Chu Junyu, do you understand now?"
Let him go with all the idiots.
When Chu Junyu saw how flustered he was, the bloody anger that had just surged into his heart dissipated.
After listening to his panicked explanation, I leaned back and smiled. His eyes were cold. He whispered, "Anyone can tell me to let it go, but you can't."
Pei Jing really didn't understand what was said and asked, "Why?"
But Chu Junyu would not give him an answer.
After that there was a long silence. It was relatively speechless, but not really relatively speechless, because Pei Jing was looking at him with dry eyes, while Chu Junyu had a cold and unmoved expression.
Pei Jing thought to himself: If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me. Why keep me in suspense
After he became a teenager, he ate, drank and slept like an ordinary person. After living with Chu Junyu for a year, they were already accustomed to each other's aura. If he didn't leave, and Pei Jing didn't want to force a topic, he might as well go to sleep.
He lay on the stone table, sinking his consciousness into the sea of consciousness to practice and seal the five senses. To outsiders, it was almost the same as sleeping.
After his five senses were closed.
Chu Junyu put down the sword in his hand, picked up the candle on the table, stood up and walked out.
Give him a dark and quiet atmosphere.
Before going out, Chu Junyu turned around and looked back.
The light was dim, shining on the sleeping boy's profile, and he looked well-behaved and not as arrogant as usual.
For a thousand years, I struggled in chaos for a thousand years. Time flows back to the present, and looking at this face, it is both strange and familiar.
The hatred in his heart came from darkness. He came out of hell and wandered in the world in a daze for hundreds of years.
Destruction is the only wish to survive.
He had lived on hatred like a demon for too long. It was so long that he didn't remember that he was still a human being until he met his former self.
