The trapped man could no longer understand Zhu You's explanation and just tried to keep his lifeless eyes open and look at the person in front of him.
Zhu You said, "Go to sleep."
Pei Yunshu seemed like a traveler who had finally found nectar, and closed his eyes as if his wish had been fulfilled.
Zhu You picked him up and carried him into the house to sleep, but then he felt something was wrong and remembered that these people had to take off their clothes before sleeping.
But looking at the snakeskin gauze that Pei Yunshu was wearing, Zhu You didn't want to take it off.
Pei Yunshu's eyelids had turned red from crying just now, and the swelling could be seen even when her eyes were closed.
Zhu You stood by and watched for a while, covering his eyes with his cold fingertips.
To relieve him from the heat.
*
When Pei Yunshu was conscious, his eyelids were so sleepy that he didn't want to open them.
He slept very soundly last night, his body and mind relaxed, and he had no dreams all night. It seemed that he cried out all his grievances and fears last night, which made him feel relaxed now, as if he was flying in the clouds.
After a while, he got up from the bed and felt a little uncomfortable. He looked down and found that he hadn't even taken off his coat.
He hurried into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
After hanging the gauze and inner garment on the screen, Pei Yunshu poured water on his hair a few times, then stopped unconsciously.
She burst into tears in front of the snake demon, crying wildly and breaking down, saying "I don't want to believe in snakes".
Thinking of this, Pei Yunshu unconsciously clenched her long hair in her hands, feeling extremely ashamed and embarrassed.
It was the first time since his rebirth that he cried so hard, and he was so out of control while lying in the arms of a monster. He vented all his previous frustration towards Zhu You in such a miserable way.
But even though he cried so hard, his eyes didn't feel any pain. Pei Yunshu touched the corners of his eyes and suddenly remembered the hairband from last night.
He quickly looked at his legs, expecting to see a vivid and lifelike snake image, but surprisingly there was nothing there.
Pei Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully again, and indeed there was no palm-sized black snake.
What about the burning sensation last night, and where did the hairband go
Pei Yunshu, dressed in a refreshing outfit, was still thinking about this question when he walked out of the room. At this moment, a sound transmission talisman flew in front of him, and the cold voice of Master Ling Qing came out: "Yunshu, come to me within a quarter of an hour."
*
The surrounding towns are all protected by the Shanshui Sect. In the past few days, some demon cultivators have gathered in several nearby towns. Seeing that they have nothing to do, Master Ling Qing simply arranged for them to go down the mountain to investigate.
Because Yun Wang’s cultivation was not good enough, he was left on Wuzhi Peak by Master Ling Qing.
The disciples responded respectfully, “Yes.”
Pei Yunshu lowered his head, his hair falling from his waist. Master Ling Qing glanced at him and suddenly realized that the fourth disciple who always stuck to him had not come to him on his own initiative for a long time.
It seemed that Yun Shu was no longer close to him ever since Yun Wang was brought up the mountain by him.
Master Ling Qing frowned. If this was true, were his four disciples trying to express their dissatisfaction in this way
His tone darkened, "Yun Shu, stay."
The rest of the disciples retreated one by one, including Yun Wang. The door was closed, and the pale sunlight slanted onto the ground through the small window.
Pei Yunshu remained motionless, still bowing to his master.
Ling Qing Zhenren's face was covered by shadows, and he spoke in a low voice, "How is your relationship with your junior brother?"
Pei Yunshu paused for a moment before answering in a low voice: "Master, it's OK."
This small pause made Master Ling Qing snort coldly.
"People who practice cultivation should avoid being jealous," Ling Qing Zhenren said, "Although you are my disciple, I have more than one disciple. Yun Wang is still young, so it is my duty to take good care of him. Even if it is not Yun Wang, you have no right to say which disciple I treat well."
Pei Yunshu felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He could not help but take a step forward and raised his head hastily, "Master, I..."
When I saw Master's face, I was speechless.
Ling Qing Zhenren looked at his silence, and his expression was finally revealed to Pei Yunshu. It was a coldness that seemed to have no emotions. "Yunshu, your Tao heart is unstable."
This sentence was like a verdict, which made Pei Yunshu unable to take another step forward. After a long time, he slowly stepped back, lowered his head, and bowed deeply, "Master is right."
Ling Qing Zhenren was finally somewhat satisfied, but he felt that his previous words were too harsh. However, he couldn't take them back since they were out of his mouth. He could only say calmly, "This time when you go down the mountain, learn more from your senior brother."
Pei Yunshu said: "Yes."
The master and disciple were silent for a moment.
"If Master is alright," Pei Yunshu said, "I will take my leave first."
Master Ling Qing said nothing. Pei Yunshu waited for a while and then left on his own.
Master's place is at the top of Wuzhi Peak, which is also the highest among the peaks. Third Senior Brother once joked that this place should be given a separate name, called the Cold Winter Place.
At this moment, it really feels like a cold winter.
Outside, the eldest brother, the youngest brother and the other four were waiting under the peach tree. Pei Yun walked over slowly. The eldest brother asked, "Youngest brother, why did the master ask you to stay?"
Pei Yunshu looked calm and said to his fellow apprentices, "Nothing."
"Master must like Senior Brother very much," Yun Wang smiled, "Every time Senior Brother comes here, Master will keep him here to talk."
Pei Yunshu raised his pale lips and sighed softly, "It's really cold here."
The third brother said, "Yes, a little bit."
He opened his folding fan with a snap, and teased with a slick tongue: "Junior brother, your face has turned pale from the cold. Do you need me to take off your robe for you?"
Yun Cheng smiled, glanced at him, and said gently: "Don't say these nonsense in front of my junior brother."
The hair on the side of Pei Yunshu's face was blown up by the cold wind. He turned his head and looked into the distance against the wind.
The sun is hanging in the sky and the peach blossoms are fluttering in the wind.
He felt really cold.
But after getting used to the coldness, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
*
Several towns around the sect have been invaded by demonic cultivators. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. If they don't intend to do anything bad in the Shan Shui Sect's territory, the Shan Shui Sect will let them be.
The eldest brother asked, "Who does Junior Brother Yunshu want to be with?"
They needed to act separately, and since Pei Yunshu had never been down the mountain, the senior brothers took good care of him.
Hearing this, the second and third senior brothers also looked at Pei Yunshu.
Pei Yunshu would never choose to travel with the second senior brother. Among the remaining eldest and third senior brothers, it was obvious that the eldest senior brother was the most honest and reliable, while the third senior brother was sloppy. But for some reason, Pei Yunshu did not want to choose the reliable eldest senior brother.
"I'm going with Third Brother." He finally said.
The third brother immediately laughed, "You did a good job, Junior Brother. It's natural to choose someone you know well when you travel with us."
This time, not only the second brother, but the eldest brother also frowned.
Third Junior Brother is always so outspoken, and recently he has been going even further.
Junior brother obviously doesn't like it either, so why does he want to go with Third Junior Brother
But since the decision has been made, the eldest senior brother can only warn Yun Man, "Take good care of Junior Brother Yun Shu, and don't be so frivolous."
The smile on the Third Senior Brother's face faded a little, "Senior Brother, no need to say more."
The fellow disciples went their separate ways. Pei Yunshu and his brother flew away from the sect on their swords. When they passed Wuzhi Peak, they turned their heads to look down.
The peaks stand tall and the clouds are floating.
The third senior brother said from behind: "Junior brother, did you bring out the clothes that the senior brothers made for you?"
Pei Yunshu nodded slightly and thought of Zhu You.
I was too out of control in front of him yesterday. When I left Wuzhi Peak today, I was secretly relieved at the thought that I wouldn't see him for a while.
As long as we don’t meet, I won’t think of that extremely embarrassing and shameful scene.
The third brother reminded him, "When we get to the town, I will change into that gauze. I also have a veil hat here, I will put it on as well."
Pei Yunshu asked curiously: "Brother, why do you wear a veil?"
Yun Man laughed a few times with unclear meanings, "Junior brother, if a girl in the mortal world takes a fancy to you and insists that you take responsibility for her, how will you handle this?"
Pei Yunshu was confused by these words, but he knew Yun Man meant well, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother."
In less than half an hour, the two of them had landed outside the town. Yun Man indeed took out an ankle-length veil from his storage bag. It was covered with layers of white gauze, so people inside could see the road clearly, but people outside could not see the faces of the people inside.
He also changed out of his Taoist robe and wore a blue suit, looking like a graceful nobleman. He opened his folding fan, and You Ran and Pei Yunshu entered the city.
The city of Qinghe was even more prosperous and bustling than the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain. Pei Yunshu saw that there were men wearing veiled hats in the streets in groups of three or four, so he began to look at the things around him that he had never seen before with peace of mind.
Yun Man was introducing things to him, and some of the things he said were even based on quotations from classics, and they were particularly vivid and interesting when they came out of his mouth.
The two crossed the street and found an inn. They had picked up a lot of local snacks along the way. The waiter kindly invited them in and sat them at an empty table in the corner.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Yun Man skillfully ordered some fine wine and delicious food. His attitude was particularly leisurely, as if he came down the mountain not for magic cultivation, but just to relax. Not only him, Pei Yunshu was also particularly relaxed, because he knew that a few magic cultivators could not do anything.
After the waiter left, the third senior brother turned around and looked at Pei Yunshu with a smile: "Junior brother Yunshu, how do you feel after going down the mountain today?"
Pei Yunshu smiled, and even through the white veil, the smile was still faint and distinct, "Brother, very good."
"When I came here a few years ago, I buried a few jars of wine by the lake," the third brother said with a smile, "After we finish the delicious food, I'll go and taste the wine with you, senior brother?"
Pei Yunshu nodded naturally, "Okay."
A table of delicious food was served. Before Pei Yunshu and Yun Man could start eating, a group of people in black walked in from outside the inn.
The outside of the clothes of this group of people were embroidered with the shape of a peony in gold thread, which just happened to fit the attire of the Huajin Sect among the evil cultivators.
This time, even Yun Man was a little surprised.
There are many sects among the demonic cultivators, and the Huajin Sect is the most unique one among them.
Although they are called demonic cultivators, the Huajin Sect is more like a combination of demonic cultivators and the Hehuan Sect. People in the sect hate being bound, are promiscuous and amorous, and dual cultivation is common. Both men and women are obsessed with desires, and regard beauty as the most important pursuit in the world. However, compared to the Hehuan Sect, the Huajin Sect uses more coercion, and most of the beauties they like are abducted by force, which is very much in the style of demonic cultivators.
No matter which demon sect comes here, it looks much more formal than the Huajin Sect.
The third senior brother felt curious, and so did Pei Yunshu. They were in a corner and had set up a barrier, so they were naturally not afraid of being discovered. They looked at the group of demon cultivators openly.
The author has something to say: The third brother gave the veil hat: Junior brother, so that the woman won't rely on you. [To die under the peony flowers, to be a ghost is also romantic, the fourth brother put on the veil hat, half-covered, very suitable]
Pei Yunshu: Oh
Hua Jinmen, a big gangster demon sect
