Pei Yunshu sat for the entire night, and only stopped when the sunlight shone into the room the next day.
In his previous life, his cultivation was sealed, his legs were broken, and he got used to sleeping at night and opening his eyes during the day like ordinary people. He had forgotten that he was a cultivator and could drive away his fatigue by meditating.
But that night, he felt particularly uneasy when meditating.
Several barriers were set up and all the magic weapons for defense were displayed. The burning sensation and the pattern on the thigh last night seemed like a dream. Except for that moment, everything else was normal throughout the night.
Pei Yunshu rested for a while and went out to the yard.
At this moment, the yard was kept clean and tidy by the little boy, and there were some magical herbs and trees planted near the wall.
He walked to the stone table and sat down, and the pattern he saw last night appeared in front of his eyes again.
The palm-sized black snake pattern is extremely delicate and lifelike in every detail, as if it is about to pop out.
But how could he tell this to his master and fellow brothers? If they wanted to see, would he just take off his pants
What's more, because of the blood jade matter, Pei Yunshu doesn't want to go find Master Ling Qing now.
The little boy walked up to him cautiously and said, "Brother, do we need to wash the clothes on the screen?"
"Well," Pei Yunshu came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little boy hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Yunshu, go and take a look."
Pei Yunshu brought the child into the bathroom. The clothes he hung on the screen last night were still there. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. He took a few steps forward to take a closer look and found something wrong with the screen.
The sticky water droplets slid down the clothes and fell onto the screen. The screen was full of blooming flowers, and this drop of sticky water just flowed into the pistil of the peony.
Pei Yunshu reached out and touched his clothes. The outer shirt was dry, and so was the belt. But the inner garment he was wearing was hidden at the bottom of the clothes, and when he touched it, his hand was covered in slime.
Pei Yunshu withdrew his hand, looked at the transparent mucus on his hand, turned around and wanted to ask the child when he noticed something was wrong.
But when he turned his head, he saw a flash of red light in the little boy's eyes.
The shadow in the corner blocked his face. The child's voice was soft and confused, "Fourth Brother, what's wrong?"
Pei Yunshu, "Nothing."
He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sticky liquid off his hands. When he took the handkerchief back, he had a sharp sword with a green glow all over it in his hand. He attacked the little boy with the sword making a pleasant sound.
"Brother..." Little Child, "What are you going to do?"
The sword moved at an unstoppable speed, but the moment the tip of the sword touched the little boy, it was like a flower falling into a pond, causing ripples. After Pei Yunshu came to his senses, he found himself sitting at the stone table in the yard again.
The wind blew the hair by his ears, and a green leaf spun and fell in front of him.
The boy in charge of sweeping the yard walked out of the bathroom, holding in his arms the clothes that Pei Yunshu had changed yesterday. Pei Yunshu blinked and called the boy to him. This time he took a close look at the boy's appearance, then took out his inner clothes, which were intact, still white and dry.
"Junior brother!"
The third brother's voice had arrived but the man hadn't yet arrived. Pei Yunshu put down his clothes and said to the little boy, "Go."
The little boy was about to walk out the door when his fellow disciples came in. When they saw the little boy holding the clothes, they knew that they were the clothes that had been changed from his fellow disciples.
The third brother opened his folding fan and waved it a few times. Then, with a casual smile, he used the fan to lift up the clothes in the frame. Before the air reached his nose, he uttered a frivolous "What a nice smell."
The eldest senior brother personally took the folding fan from his hand and tapped him on the head. The little boy lowered his head and dared not look any more, and hurriedly left from them.
“Junior Brother Yunshu,” the eldest brother, still holding the rolled-up snake skin in his hand, went straight to the point, “Let’s discuss how to use this snake skin.”
"Let's put the snake skin aside for now," Yun Cheng smiled. He sat down leisurely and looked at Pei Yunshu, worriedly saying, "Junior brother, did you check carefully last night to see if there was anything unusual?"
Pei Yunshu pursed her lips, her long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow on her eyelids.
Yun Cheng looked at his expression and said slowly, "Could it be that something is wrong, but Junior Brother doesn't want to tell Senior Brother?"
Two other pairs of bright eyes looked over.
"…No," Pei Yunshu said, "I'm fine."
"Nothing is wrong," Yun Cheng changed the subject, "Junior brother, what are you going to do with this snake skin?"
Pei Yunshu was a little confused.
All the treasures he got in his previous life were delivered to him intact. Now that he had this skin shed by the dragon, he really didn't know what to do with it.
But it is rumored that dragon skin is impervious to swords and knives, and is not affected by water or fire, making it a good material for making defensive magic weapons.
He had made up his mind in this life that if he could refuse the magic weapons given by his master and senior brothers, he would refuse them; as for things that he could not refuse, such as the blood jade, he would find a good thing to replace them later.
It’s other people’s business if they are willing to give. If Pei Yunshu accepts it, he would be bad.
Therefore, even though he didn't like snakes, Pei Yunshu didn't refuse because he was short of money. He thought about it carefully and said, "Brother, just give me the material to make a belt."
Yun Jing shook his head, "Junior brother, you are a great contributor, and the material for a belt is too little."
This great hero sounds particularly embarrassing.
"Otherwise, we can use the entire snake skin to make a coat for Junior Brother Yunshu first. If there is any left, we can see if we can make something for Junior Brother," the third senior brother said lazily. "The three of us don't lack any defensive magic weapons."
Yun Cheng nodded slightly, "What do you think, Brother?"
"Then let's do this," the eldest senior brother asked Pei Yunshu to stand up without waiting for him to refuse, and took out a tape measure from his sleeve, "Junior brother, I will measure your size."
Pei Yunshu said, "Brother, you found this, how could you let me come first?"
His whole body was filled with resistance, and every move he made was unwilling.
Yun Jing didn't say anything, just looked at him. He was a kind and stubborn person. He was usually as amiable as an old cow, but when he got stubborn, he could go against the wall like a cow.
The third brother laughed at the side, "Brother, we have the measurements of the fourth brother, what else do you need to measure?"
Pei Yunshu just said: "I don't want so much."
But none of these three brothers listened to him. Or perhaps they heard him but did not want to do what he said.
Regardless of Pei Yunshu's thoughts, just do what you want.
Pei Yunshu clenched his fists, his nails making a crescent shape on his fingers.
When the three brothers started to think about the style of the outer shirt, he raised his voice and said, "I don't want it!"
The brothers immediately stopped talking and turned to look at him.
Pei Yunshu's chest rose and fell slightly. He looked at them one by one and said, "I don't need it."
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Yun Cheng suddenly laughed.
He stood up and walked to Pei Yunshu's side with his tall and graceful figure. His wide sleeves covered half of the stone table. He said in a gentle voice, "Junior brother, the brothers will give this to you and make you a coat. Isn't it better than a belt?"
Pei Yunshu turned his head away and didn't look at him.
Yun Cheng could only see his jade-like ears and the dense black hair behind his ears. Junior Brother Yun Shu must still be a little angry, and his breathing was a little faster. The sound, along with the fragrance from his hair, was transmitted to Yun Cheng.
"Fourth Junior Brother," Yun Cheng's voice became softer, "The senior brothers are doing this for your own good. Don't reject their kindness, okay? Otherwise, the senior brothers will be angry."
*
After there was no one in the courtyard, Pei Yunshu sat alone at the stone table.
After a while, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the water stains on the table.
It was a cup of tea poured by the eldest senior brother, but when Yun Cheng approached him, he accidentally knocked it over.
His sleeves also got wet, but no one noticed.
Pei Yunshu steadied his still shaking hands, and as he watched, he felt a soreness in his nose.
The person he fears most in the entire sect is Yun Cheng.
When Yun Cheng broke his legs that day, he also said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't be afraid. I broke your legs for your own good. This way you won't go around in front of me anymore and won't make me angry anymore, right?"
If Yun Cheng were to be described using mortal language, he would be a gentle and noble young man. It was only after a long time that Pei Yunshu realized how terrifying such a person could be when he got angry.
The words "will make senior brother angry" completely reminded Pei Yunshu of the scene when his legs were broken.
He crawled out in pain, his body covered with dust, but Yun Cheng would not let him go. He begged Yun Cheng to let him go. He said he would never go looking for his junior brother and would not make him angry. He would leave the sect and never appear in front of them again.
But Yun Cheng was still angry. He raised the scabbard high and then dropped it heavily on Pei Yunshu's knees.
It was not until the sun set and the afterglow of the sun fell on his shoulders that Pei Yunshu came back to his senses from his memories and flew towards the sect's consul office on his sword.
Shanshui Sect has more than one peak, but the relationship between the peaks is weak, and the sect will only leave the peak once in a long time. But in fact, Shanshui Sect is a big sect in the world, and every year countless people who want to achieve immortality come to become its disciples.
Pei Yunshu wanted to take on a mission. He didn't want to stay in Wuzhi Peak anymore. He wanted to go out and see the wider world, even if it was only for a few days. He wanted to relax.
When he arrived at the consular office, Pei Yunshu greeted the elders inside and asked if there were any tasks he could take on.
Pei Yunshu was almost able to break through to the Golden Core Stage, but the Elder's mission was a waste of his talent, so he could only be picky. At the end, he said with a bitter face: "Why don't you go find your master and ask him to pick some useful missions for you."
Pei Yunshu shook his head and said earnestly: "Elder, just give me a task at random, preferably one that is far away and takes a little time to go back and forth."
He just wanted to leave now, and leave quickly.
The elder could only look for another one for him, but he still felt it was a waste, so he secretly made a sound transmission note and sent it to Master Ling Qing, telling him that Pei Yunshu was looking for him to ask for a task.
"You wait." The elder thought to himself, there is no suitable mission for Pei Yunshu here, at least there is no suitable mission even at Ling Qing Zhenren's place.
After a while, a monster suddenly appeared on the horizon, walking on the clouds, and rushed towards the consulate with great momentum.
Pei Yunshu heard the exclamation of his fellow disciples and turned around to see that the monster was only a hundred meters away from him. In the blink of an eye, he was carried on the monster's back and flew away on the clouds again.
A cold wind blew across his face. Pei Yunshu came to his senses and was about to struggle to jump down. The monster turned its head and looked at him. Its golden vertical pupils were still fierce. Its bloody mouth opened wide, and its sharp teeth flashed white light. "Roar—"
This is Master’s monstrous beast. Not long ago, it killed a group of monsters that were causing chaos at the foot of the mountain. Its cultivation level is higher than Pei Yunshu’s.
Pei Yunshu grabbed his fur tightly, covered himself with a barrier, and stood still.
The monster's golden pupils flashed with disdain, and it picked up speed again, carrying the weak human on its back. In a blink of an eye, it sent Pei Yunshu to Ling Qing Zhenren's residence.
