Chapter 183: Cranes and paper cranes

Views:

Carrying Wei Yuansheng on his back, Wei Wuwei walked into the fog and felt that the voices behind him quickly faded away. Looking back, the fog seemed thin and not very thick, but he could not see the people from the Wei family at all and could not hear their voices.

"Yuansheng, are you afraid?"

Wei Wuwei held Wei Yuansheng's butt with his left hand, and used his right hand to block the branches, vines and other objects as he walked.

"I'm a little scared, but it's okay as long as Daddy is here!"

"Yeah, good boy!"

As we continued to move forward, the fog in front of us became thinner, and we felt more and more as if there was a thick white fog in the distance, but everything around us was clearly visible. After about half an hour, the feeling of the thick white fog in the distance disappeared.

Wei Wuwei only felt that he was walking on an ordinary mountain path and passed directly through the white fog area. The more he walked, the more confused he became.

"Dad, it seems we are starting to take a detour."

Wei Yuansheng's intuition was more accurate than Wei Wuwei's. He kept looking around when his father was walking. Although his father was walking in a straight line, he always had a strange feeling that the road was crooked.

This reminder startled Wei Wuwei. He immediately remembered some precautions that the old turtle had mentioned. He hurriedly pulled out the family jade pendant from around his neck and turned the rope to the back for his son to hold.

"Yuansheng, hold the jade pendant and close your eyes. Tell dad where you think you should go."

"Um!"

Wei Yuansheng followed his instructions and held the jade pendant in his right hand while hugging his father's neck with his left hand. Then he lay quietly on his father's back and closed his eyes.

Wei Wuwei slowed down his pace slightly and continued to move forward.

"No, no, Daddy went the wrong way. The straight line should go to the left."

Wei Wuwei turned his head to look at his son, then looked at the road he had walked. The trees that he had marked were still in a straight line behind him, but he chose to believe his son, so he immediately adjusted the angle slightly and went left.

After a dozen breaths, Wei Yuansheng asked him to turn left again. After a cup of tea, Wei Yuansheng asked him to turn left again. According to common sense, this was almost the same as turning back.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, Wei Wuwei was already sweating all over.

It wasn't that his body was so tired, but the pressure in his heart was growing. He had lost all sense of direction and had tinnitus from time to time. The further he walked, the more anxious he became, as if he was going to dive into the deep mountains and forests and never get out again.

But Wei Wuwei was an extremely rational person. He knew very well that he and the Wei family had already gone deep into Yucui Mountain, and he himself was an outstanding martial artist. How could his fear of the old forest and deep mountains only erupt now

"Click... click..."

The sound of a crane calling faintly came from the sky, which lifted Wei Wuwei's spirits. Wei Yuansheng also subconsciously opened his eyes. The father and son looked up together and saw a white crane circling in the sky. They didn't know if it was the old one that had been with the Wei family.

"Click...click...li~~~"

But the white crane did not land. It just circled for a while and then flew away, which made the Wei father and son very disappointed.

"It flew away, Daddy..."

"Haha, it's okay, Yuansheng, are you hungry? Daddy brought some cakes. Let's take a break."

This was a valley, and fortunately there were not many tall trees and weeds. Wei Wuwei carried Wei Yuansheng to a clean stone and sat down on it, and then put little Yuansheng down.

When the father and son were drinking water and eating, there was suddenly a rustling sound coming from behind the trees not far away. Wei Wuwei stood up instantly as if by reflex, pulled out two mandarin duck swords from his sleeves, held them tightly, and took a defensive posture.

There are many wild animals in the mountains, and Wei Yuansheng carefully hid behind a rock.

However, what came out from behind the trees not far away was not a wild beast, but a woman with a gentle face. At first glance, she looked about thirty years old, but after a closer look, she did not have any wrinkles or frost on her face, so she seemed to be no more than twenty years old. She was wearing light shoes, a white feather dress, and her long hair was swirled with two jade hairpins.

He came slowly and neither hurriedly nor slowly.

"Are you two lost in this mountain and can't get out?"

Before the person came close, a soft voice was heard. As she approached, she obviously looked at the mandarin duck knives of different lengths in Wei Wuwei's hands a few more times.

"It just so happens that I am also lost in this mountain, how about we get out together?"

The woman smiled at Wei Yuansheng who was hiding behind a rock, and gave Wei Wuwei a suggestion.

However, the Wei family father and son knew in their hearts that in such a special place, this person could definitely not be someone who was really lost, and was most likely the transformed crane.

"Yuansheng, come here quickly!"

"Um!"

Wei Yuansheng quickly walked around the stone and ran to his father, while Wei Wuwei opened his clothes a little, pulled out the jade pendant, untied the string, took it out, and put it in Wei Yuansheng's hand.

Sure enough, the moment the woman saw the jade pendant, her expression changed.

"You have this jade pendant on you... May I know your surnames?"

Wei Wuwei and the little Wei Yuansheng looked at each other, and the two of them bowed to the woman at the same time.

"To answer the fairy, my name is Wei Wuwei, and the one next to me is my son..."

"To answer the Immortal Auntie, my name is Wei Yuansheng!"

Wei Wuwei frowned and glared at Wei Yuansheng. The latter shrank his neck and glanced at the woman timidly. He found that she was looking at him and did not look angry.

"The Wei family...it happened a long time ago..."

The woman sighed and smiled.

"I think someone must have pointed him here, but it doesn't matter. I have to repay the Wei family's kindness. Hmm, is this child called Wei Yuansheng? That's a good name!"

Wei Yuansheng showed the girl a bright smile, and the collagen on his little face was squeezed together, making him look very cute.

"Oh, you are so smart at such a young age. Oh, it seems that you have quite good talent. The jade pendant is shining!"

Wei Wuwei and Wei Yuansheng looked at the jade pendant at the same time, but did not see any spiritual light.

"Okay, this child will follow me into Yuhuai Mountain. As for you, I will also send you out."

This won’t do!

Wei Wuwei hurriedly bowed and begged.

"Thank you, Fairy, for taking in my son Yuansheng. However, Yuansheng is still young, less than five years old, and knows nothing. He needs his parents to take care of him. Fairy, can you allow me to accompany my son into the mountains and accompany him until he can understand the world and take care of himself?"

The woman sighed.

"I think this kid is so smart, he doesn't look ignorant, why is Mr. Wei doing this?"

Wei Yuansheng shrank his neck again and pleaded in a childish voice.

"Aunt Fairy, please don't let Dad go... I'm afraid..."

Xiao Yuansheng's fear was not fake at this moment. Tears were about to overflow from his eyes. What would he do if his father left

"Please help my Wei family, Fairy, please!"

As Wei Wuwei was speaking, he even wanted to kneel down to the woman, but she waved her sleeve and pushed him back a few steps and almost fell.

"Okay, there's no need to be like this. I will definitely help you if you need help, but you have to know that I... um, you know my identity, right?"

"I know, I know, you are the fairy from the Immortal Mansion!"

The woman's left arm pinched her right arm.

"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm just a fairy crane from the Immortal Palace. I can't make the final decision on what you want!"

So that was it. Wei Wuwei hurriedly saluted again.

"Your willingness to help is a great favor to our Wei family. We already knew your identity as a crane. This time, we are so shameless to come to you and ask for your help. Thank you for your help! Thank you!"

Wei Yuansheng also hurriedly bowed with his hands.

"Thank you, Fairy!"

The woman let out a breath, it seems that this father and son are not mortals who are obsessed with trivial matters. Well, they should not be afraid that they are not human.

"How about this, Xiao Yuansheng, come back with me first, and you wait here. Don't worry, I will go find all the immortal masters who are close to me and do my best to plead for you. I have never begged for anything in all my time in Yuhuai Mountain, but I will make an exception for you today!"

The woman spoke very seriously, then her expression softened and she extended her hand to Wei Yuansheng.

"Come, come to Aunt He."

Wei Yuansheng glanced at his father and saw him nod at him. Then he walked carefully to the woman and was picked up by her.

"Wei Wuwei, wait for my news here. I will be back in half a day at the earliest or a day at the latest."

"Wait a minute, Immortal!"

Seeing the woman was about to leave, Wei Wuwei hurriedly stopped her.

"Um?"

The woman looked at Wei Wuwei with confusion on her face and saw that he seemed to have something important to say.

"There is something I need to explain to the fairy. In my early years, I once met a gentleman. Because of his profound knowledge and extraordinary conversation, I always treated him with courtesy. A few days ago, he came to visit my home, and my Wei family specially held a banquet to welcome him..."

"Did that person tell you to come here to seek immortal fate?"

The woman asked thoughtfully, and Wei Wuwei shook his head and continued.

"To be honest, the matter concerning the Wei family was because after surviving a crisis, I was able to get information about Yu Huaishan from the attacker. This old friend of mine, Mr., was not aware of this."

"But at the dinner table a few days ago, the great master who should have known nothing about this suddenly said to me that if one wants to go up to Yuhuai Mountain but is not allowed in, it is like the immortal crane guarding the mountain saying, 'An old friend in my family recognizes the immortal Qiu Feng of Yuhuai Mountain.'"

The woman transformed from a crane was suddenly startled.

"He knows Immortal Qiu Feng? Who is that person?"

Wei Wuwei bowed his head and saluted again.

"In reply to the fairy, that great master doesn't like others to casually reveal his information. Wei can only tell the fairy that his last name is Ji, which means accounting. He said that if he tells the fairy Qiu Feng, the other party will understand."

The woman nodded thoughtfully, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"With your words, I feel more confident. Wait for my good news!"

As she spoke, the woman stood up and jumped, holding Wei Yuansheng in her arms, and turned into a white rainbow and walked away through the mist. The cry of cranes could be faintly heard.

Wei Wuwei watched the woman fly away with Xiao Yuansheng, and he felt temporarily relieved, but the tension in his heart was still there, and he couldn't help but touch the brocade bag again to relieve the pressure.

But when he stretched his hand into his arms, he was stunned for a moment. Then Wei Wuwei hurriedly pulled out the brocade bag and shook it. He found that the brocade bag was dry and shriveled. He opened it carefully and found that the paper crane was no longer inside.

"Oh no! Could it be lost in the mountains? What should I do? What should I do?"

Wei Wuwei was so anxious that he was sweating. He searched everywhere on the ground. After a long time, he sat down on a stone beside him in a dejected manner, looking extremely uneasy.

At the gate of Yuhuai Mountain, Wei Yuansheng, who was frightened in the air, held on to the woman tightly, and they finally landed on a mountain together. For the first time, they saw the fairy palaces and pavilions that were either around the foggy mountain tops or hidden in the deep valleys.

The nervousness and anxiety in my heart were also alleviated by the beautiful scenery around me.

Naturally, the first thing Xianhe did was to go find the immortal Qiu Feng first. As long as Qiu Feng was willing to accompany him to see the great immortal, everything would be safe.

Gliding with the wind, falling from the mountain top into the valley.

However, when the woman, carrying little Yuansheng, arrived at the bamboo house at the bottom of the valley where Qiu Feng was, she realized that there was no one inside.

At this moment, a paper crane suddenly flew out of Wei Yuansheng's arms, flapping its wings and flying forward.

"What's this?"

"Ah! Isn't this Daddy's paper crane?"

Wei Yuansheng called out subconsciously, causing the woman who was about to reach out to grab the paper crane to stop and look at the flying paper crane with curiosity.

This is obviously a paper bird. There is no magical power fluctuation on it, but it can actually flap its wings and fly by itself.

'Could this paper bird become a spirit?'

This absurd thought arose in Hegu's mind and was strangled to death the moment it came to her mind. How could it be possible!

At this moment, the paper crane was seen flying around the bamboo building once, then immediately left and flew towards the mountain at a fairly fast speed. He Gu was caught off guard and was actually left behind by the paper bird.

Hegu hurriedly picked up Yuansheng and followed the paper bird which was flying faster and faster. She felt a little strange. This thing was called a paper crane

As a result, the paper crane flew straight to Shuyun Tower and hit the restriction outside. It flapped its wings and circled around, as if trying to find an unobstructed place to get in.

Coincidentally, an immortal just happened to walk out of Shuyun Tower at this moment, and he didn't even notice the small paper crane. The paper crane seized the opportunity, flapped its wings dozens of times, and flew into Shuyun Tower in a flash.

"Why… "

Hegu, who had just landed, saw this scene and let out a nervous "Ah", but she felt a little guilty. What if it was some evil thing
