I Am Average and Unremarkable

Chapter 25: Magic

"Fish?" Tao Er looked at the steamed fish over and over again. He set up so many magic arrays in the food box just to put a steamed fish in it

"Why did Bu Xianzun send you steamed fish?"

"I said that last time." Jiu Hui brought out the fish and pointed at her face: "I am a tool for him to reminisce about the past."

"After Buting entered the Jiutian Sect, he was accepted as the last disciple by the previous sect master. He established his foundation at the age of 18, formed his elixir at the age of 30, and reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 50. He is as famous as Qiu Hua, and is regarded as the hope of ascension by countless people in the cultivation world. They have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world and met the most outstanding people in the world. Over the years, countless people have been fascinated by him." Yujing looked at the steamed fish on the table: "For immortals of their status, if they treat someone a little bit special, they can make people imagine and even go crazy."

"I am very pleased to see you so clear-headed." Yu Jing stretched out his chopsticks and separated the fish head from the body. "You are only eighteen years old. Don't care about the specialness of those in high positions. Because they can treat anyone specially at will, but your path of cultivation can only be under your own feet."

"I understand, Master." Jiu Hui picked up a piece of fish belly meat and said, "You can eat fish meat, but you can't let yourself become a fish."

Zhiyou, who was sitting next to Jiuhui, tasted the fish meat with his chopsticks and said, "It's not tasty."

He put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with his handkerchief: "The fish is too old and not fresh enough."

"Is it not delicious?" Tao Er took two big bites and said, "I think it is very delicious."

Zhiyou said calmly, “Really?”

Tao Er put down his chopsticks in dismay: "It's... not particularly delicious either."

"Bu Xianzun does have a good appearance, but he is already seven or eight hundred years old. To young people like you, he is considered an old man." City Lord Tao said with a smile: "Men, when they get older, they like to reminisce about their youthful past."

Fortunately, Miss Jiu Hui is a sober person, so Jade Immortal Venerable doesn't need to worry about her. Unfortunately, not everyone is as clear-headed as Miss Jiu Hui, otherwise the story of the cold Immortal Venerable and his pretty apprentice wouldn't be spread repeatedly in the cultivation world.

"There is no age limit in cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the longer one lives. Bu Ting is not really an old man." Yu Jing couldn't help laughing: "But the truth is there. What City Lord Tao said does make some sense. After all, only men can understand men the best."

Tao Er glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye and said, "Dad, don't have any fond memories of your youth, or I will tell Mom and ask her to break your old legs."

"You unfilial son!" City Lord Tao took off his shoes and threw them at Tao Er: "I have been childhood sweethearts with your mother. Even if I have good memories, they are of your mother. Don't make trouble for me!"

Tao Er dodged to the side and accidentally bumped into Zhiyou. Zhiyou dodged forward and knocked over the steamed fish on the table.

Jiu Hui held up her chopsticks, looked at the spilled steamed fish, and then blinked at Zhiyou.

"This was an accident." Zhiyou took out a box of food from his ring and pushed it in front of Jiuhui: "I'll compensate you."

He took the chopsticks from Jiu Hui's hand, waved his sleeves and threw the steamed fish out. Jiu Hui looked out and saw the fish fell into a river, then turned around and said to Zhi You: "Don't throw objects from high places."

Zhiyou put away all the chopsticks on the table: "I threw them away because I knew there was no one down there."

Flying so high, how could he know if there was anyone below without even looking? Tao Er suspected that Zhiyou was bragging, but he didn't dare to say it.

But there was one thing he understood clearly: Immortal Zhiyou really didn't like this steamed fish.

They were eager to go home, so they did not delay on the road and hurried as fast as they could. After sending the Tao family father and son back to Taolin City, Jiu Hui and his apprentice did not even get off their flying magic tools and went straight back to Wangshu Pavilion.

Knowing that they had returned, the elders came with their disciples, gathered together for a big meal, and shared the autumn breeze that the three masters and disciples had brought. Only then did they leave with their disciples, feeling very satisfied.

"Master." Jiu Hui touched the cat playing with flying birds hairpin on her temples and walked to the side of the jade mirror: "Disciple has something to ask..."

"Wangshu Pavilion disciples practice the law of freedom and fate. As long as you don't harm your fellow disciples and don't hurt innocent people, you can go." Yujing reached out to help her straighten the cat-playing-with-flying-bird hairpin on her bun: "Master doesn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of you young people. As long as you don't cause trouble for the sect, everything will be left to fate."

"If something bad happens..."

"Do you know why, according to the sect's records, no disciple in the past generations has caused any trouble?" Yu Jing smiled gently, "Because how can a disciple who caused trouble be considered a member of Wangshu Pavilion?"

Jiu Hui widened her eyes.

"Are you scared?" Yu Jing chuckled, "Master is just teasing you."

Jiu Hui: “…”

"There are no disciples who have caused trouble in the sect's records because our Wangshu Pavilion has never had a disciple who caused serious trouble." Yu Jing pulled her up and came to the hall where the disciples' soul lamps were placed.

Soul lamps were neatly arranged in rows on all four sides of the hall. Except for a dozen lights on the east side that were still lit, the soul lamps on the other three sides were all out.

"All the soul lamps of our ancestors are here." Yu Jing took out three incense sticks and bowed to these dim soul lamps. "The jade beads of our Wangshu Pavilion are different from those of other sects. Our jade beads contain the sword and law left by our founder before he ascended to heaven. If someone has no fate with our sect, no matter how high their qualifications are, they cannot make the jade beads shine."

Jiuhui took the incense, followed Yujing, bowed and burned incense to the ancestors.

"You are the one who lights the sect's jade pendant the brightest among the younger generation of disciples." After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Yu Jing turned and looked at Jiu Hui: "Whether it is a master and disciple or a fellow disciple, the most taboo thing is suspicion. I am lazy and don't want to care about what the younger generation does on a daily basis, but I believe that you will not do anything to harm the sect."

"If you don't have your own secrets when you are young, what's the point of life?" Yu Jing took out a few tattered books of magic from the ring and stuffed them all at Jiu Hui: "Take them and practice them slowly with Zhiyou. If it's not something big that will shake the sect, you don't have to tell me."

Jiu Hui held the spell book in her hand and quickly lit the incense. She flipped open a page and said, "Master, our sect actually has records of lost spells such as the Soul Purification Spell and the Shapeshifting Spell?"

"Of course, we are an old sect with thousands of years of heritage." Yu Jing said calmly, as if the book of magic he took out was a street story. "But the record is the record, whether you can learn it is your own business. None of your brothers and sisters have mastered it. You have lit the jade pendant the brightest, so you should be better than them."

The more Jiu Hui read, the more she felt that it was not the fault of her senior brothers and sisters that they could not learn it, but that these techniques were too profound and people without sufficient cultivation could not use them at all.

"Master, how bright is Zhiyou in attracting Yujue?" Jiuhui put the book in her pocket and began to wonder about Zhiyou's fate with the sect.

"Have you ever heard the saying that a firefly's light cannot compete with the bright moon?"

Jiuhui nodded.

"If you are the bright moon, Zhiyou is the firefly." Yujing sighed, "The cultivation world is getting worse with each generation. Disciples who have a connection with our Wangshu Pavilion are rare, so I won't be picky."

The light of a firefly is small but glorious. As a master, you should not be too harsh.

"Go back and rest early. In a few days it will be the New Year's Eve, which is the most important festival for mortals. In the next half month, you and Zhiyou don't have to go to the elders to learn the law. Just go out for a walk with your brothers and sisters when you have nothing to do." Yu Jing has a typical laissez-faire attitude towards his disciples: "New Year's Eve is only one day a year, you can practice at any time, and have fun when it's time to play."

"I'll remember this, disciple." Jiu Hui's eyes lit up when she heard that she didn't need to study the Dharma for half a month. "Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave."

"Go ahead." Yu Jing chuckled, "Remember to tell Zhiyou."

"I know." The voice was still there, but the person had already run far away.

That’s right. Is there any child in the world who truly likes going to school

Jiu Hui skipped back to her own courtyard and saw that the candlelight in the next courtyard was still on, so she knew that Zhiyou was still awake. She jumped over the fence and knocked on the door: "Zhiyou, are you asleep?"

The door opened, and Zhiyou turned sideways: "Come in and talk."

"I'm going to visit Taolin City tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Jiu Hui took out the magic books given by her master and put them on the table: "You don't have to go to the elders to study for the next half month. These magic books were given by my master. Let us practice slowly according to them."

"tomorrow?"

"Well, is there any problem?" Jiuhui took the fruit on the table and ate it.

"Okay." Zhiyou nodded: "I'll go with you."

Bai Qi, who was turned into a hairpin, shook his head silently in his heart. This fellow disciple of the little demon girl was still too young and didn't know how terrible it was to accompany a girl shopping.

"Then I'll call you tomorrow morning." Jiuhui stuffed all the magic books to Zhiyou: "Take these books and read them first. Give them to me after you finish reading them."

After saying that, regardless of whether Zhiyou agreed or not, he put a few of his spiritual fruits in his sleeves and left. After Jiuhui left, Zhiyou put the yellowed and worn magic books neatly, picked up the top one at random and opened the first page.

Nine Heavens Soul-Breaking Sword Technique

Isn't this... the swordsmanship of the Jiutian Sect

He continued to flip through the pages, Nine Heavens Soul-Severing Technique, Breaking the Mountain Divine Sword Technique, Nine Elements Returning to One Technique…

Did the masters of Wangshu Pavilion serve as spies in Jiutian Sect? They are so familiar with the various sword techniques and magic of Jiutian Sect.

When I opened the next book, it finally did not contain the magic of the Jiu Tian Sect, because it recorded the magic of other sects.

After closing the worn-out book, Zhiyou came to an understanding.

No wonder Wangshu Pavilion has not produced any powerful disciples in more than 2,000 years of inheritance. It turns out that the hobbies of the disciples of all generations are not cultivation, but to grab other people's things. Gold, silver, jewelry, magic formulas, spiritual stones and magic weapons, there is only what others are reluctant to give, and there is nothing they dare not grab.

This is not a book of magic at all; it is clearly the result of the hard work of successive generations of disciples over the past two thousand years.

Jiu Hui returned to the room, took off her hairpin and restored Bai Qi and Lin Chi Niao's true form: "You can stay in Wangshu Pavilion temporarily, but remember not to harm my fellow disciples, and don't harm innocent people. As long as you have such thoughts, the restrictions on your body will be activated. What will be the consequences then..."

Bai Qi and Lin Xiaoniao shuddered together and huddled together in the corner.

Relying on the fact that he had known Jiu Hui for a long time, Bai Qi wagged his tail in a flattering manner and said, "Don't worry, how dare we hurt your fellow disciples. I'm just worried that your fellow disciples will find out that something is wrong with us and cause trouble for you."

"Do you think my master didn't find you?" Jiu Hui yawned. "Don't worry. There are thousand-year-old hawksbill turtles in our sect's lake, golden toads that have just learned to talk in the pond, and a few little monsters that have awakened their intelligence. Two more of you won't be too many."

"Your sect is so unpicky that you can even use toads as mounts?" Bai Qi was very shocked.

"Who told you to be mounts?" Jiu Hui poked Bai Qi to the ground with her finger and rubbed its furry belly a few times: "We in Wangshu Pavilion don't have the habit of using monsters as mounts."

Bai Qi's doubts deepened. People in the world of cultivation have always hated and been hostile to monsters. How could a famous and upright sect allow so many monsters to stay in the sect and not allow them to be mounts

Is this Wangshu Pavilion serious

The next morning, Bai Qi boldly wagged his tail and walked around in front of everyone in Wangshu Pavilion. When these people learned that it was brought back by the little witch, they didn't even look at it.

No, aren't you curious

A white cat that looks like a tiger and a Qiongqi is wandering around in front of you, and you have no doubts? !

You are so careless and act so casually, what kind of righteous monks are you? !

Bai Qi strolled to the lakeshore with mixed feelings. A huge hawksbill turtle emerged from the lake. He widened his eyes. There really was a hawksbill turtle that was supposed to be in the sea and came to Wangshu Pavilion

"Are you the little fat cat that Jiu Hui brought back?" Prime Minister Wu threw two fish onto the shore and said, "This is a gift from me, please help yourself to it."

Bai Qi doesn't eat raw fish, so he kicked the fish back into the lake and asked, "How do you know I was brought back by Jiu Hui?"

"The whole island has heard about it. All the intelligent little demons know that Jiu Hui picked up a fat cat and an ugly bird." Seeing that Bai Qi didn't eat his fish, Prime Minister Wu was not angry: "I heard that you are going out with Jiu Hui, and the second cat of Jixiang Pavilion asked you to bring back meat buns from Wang Dagou's house. Don't buy the wrong one, he doesn't like meat buns from other people's houses."

Bai Qi wanted to say, what kind of little demon is Er Miao, is he worthy of asking Uncle Tiger to buy meat buns? But thinking that he had just arrived at Wangshu Pavilion and could not offend the demon group of the sect, he readily agreed.

He is a tiger who wants to achieve great things. He can bear this little grievance. Sooner or later, he will become the boss of all the monsters on this island!

With the important task of buying meat buns for his future younger brother, Bai Qi took the initiative to ask Jiu Hui to accompany her to Taolin City.

"Hey, you didn't take the opportunity to escape?" Jiu Hui lifted Bai Qi onto the flying sword and put him down: "I thought you had sneaked away while I was asleep last night."

Bai Qi secretly glanced at Zhiyou who was traveling with Jiu Hui, and seeing that he had no reaction to his presence, he spoke: "You helped me escape from Jiu Tian Sect, so you are my benefactor. I, Bai Qi, am not an ungrateful person who will not repay a favor. I will stay by your side for the time being and be at your disposal."

"Really?" Jiu Hui chuckled, not exposing the fact that it wanted to stay in Wangshu Pavilion to eat and drink for free: "Okay, I'll take you and Lin Chi to Taolin City."

Lin Chi lay obediently on the sword, not daring to say a word. But thinking that Jiu Hui would come to Taolin City to help it find the "iron-mouthed fortune teller" who cheated it of its money, it became a little excited!

It is difficult for him, a little demon who has just learned to transform himself a few years ago, to earn some money in the human world.

"Zhiyou, you're not curious?" The two flew side by side in the air. Seeing that Zhiyou didn't ask any more questions, Jiuhui took the initiative to pick up Baiqi and said, "Look at this cat."

Zhiyou stared at the cat for a few seconds, thinking that Jiuhui wanted to praise the cat: "It's well-fed, with lots of fur and fat."

"You don't have to praise everything." Jiu Hui rubbed the cat's head: "I mean, why aren't you curious about the fact that there's another cat around me?"

"I know." Zhiyou said faintly, "The night you went out to admire the moon with Qiuhua alone and didn't ask me to accompany you, it hid in your room."

"Didn't I take you with me later?" Jiu Hui put Bai Qi down: "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

However, there are many people in the Jiutian Sect and she cannot reveal Bai Qi’s existence.

"You took me with you because I went to find you." Zhiyou explained seriously, "If I didn't go to find you, you wouldn't have taken me with you, right?"

This is deliberate concealment.

Jiuhui came to her senses and realized that what they were talking about were not the same thing at all.

"I'm sorry." Zhiyou turned his face away and looked at the rolling clouds dejectedly: "I have always lived alone in the mountains, never made friends, and don't know how to get along with others. I have never seen how magnificent the mountains and rivers are, and I am not as knowledgeable as Buting. You don't have to accompany me in everything. I shouldn't ask this."

"This, this..." Jiu Hui saw Zhiyou was sad and depressed, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "Although Bu Xianzun is handsome and knowledgeable, he is an old hand. How can he be compared with you? You are more handsome than Bu Xianzun, and you are from the same sect as me, so how can our relationship be the same?"

"Really?" Zhiyou looked at Jiuhui, his clear and clean eyes were extremely bright, as if all the sunlight shining through the clouds had entered his eyes.

"Really!" Jiu Hui nodded heavily and affirmatively.

The corners of Zhiyou's mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a smile. He rarely smiled, but just a little smile at this moment was enough to move people's hearts, and even the hair half tied behind him seemed to be filled with his joy.

Bai Qi wagged his tail and buried his head on his belly.

What a stupid human being! How could you easily believe the words of the little witch? She is a little liar who said she likes Uncle Long the most today, Aunt Jiao the most tomorrow, and Uncle Liu the most the day after tomorrow.

"We've arrived at Taolin City." Jiu Hui came back to her senses from Zhiyou's smile. Before she dropped her flying sword, she turned her head and promised Zhiyou, "I'll call you next time."

Hearing this, Zhiyou's eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.

Thousands of miles away, the snow in the Fuguang Palace was still as unmelted as usual.

In the silent and deserted inner room, a jade bead fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.

The puppets, arranged neatly, twisted their stiff heads and looked at the only thing that made the sound.

"Broken." The puppet made an emotionless sound: "The Immortal Lord's bracelet is broken."

"The Immortal Lord is in meditation, so don't disturb him."

The puppets turned their heads back.

The jade bead rolled into the snow and was soon buried by the falling snowflakes.
