Chapter 44: Jade Bush (I) The eldest brother is watching
Chapter 44 Jade Bush (I)
The spring rain fell all night while the eldest brother was watching. Chao Jianxue closed his eyes and saw Yu Wei meditating. When he woke up slowly, Yu Wei was already practicing sword outside.
Although speechless, Chao Jianxue accepted Yu Wei's perfectionist character. Unlike him, who would not endure hardships if he could, Yu Wei seemed to have a masochistic tendency and pushed himself to extremes.
He lay on the windowsill and propped up the window. The sky was overcast, but the rain had stopped. The crabapple petals in the yard fell to the ground, wet and rotten.
Yu Wei's sword wind swept across the yard, and wet leaves flew in the yard. Countless crabapple petals followed his sword and danced, passing over his sharp eyebrows, his fluttering robes and his high ponytail.
The spiritual light rolled around him, reflecting his fairy-like figure. In the sword dance, everything was under one person.
What a beautiful scene of practicing sword in the morning.
Chao Jianxue's vision was blocked by the petals blown by the wind. She came back to her senses, yawned slowly, and began to change clothes and wash up.
When she walked to the main room, breakfast was already placed on the table. The hot tea was kept warm by spiritual power. Chao Jianxue took a sip and immediately identified it as Yu Wei's spiritual power.
They were already familiar with each other to such an extent that they could identify each other's breath by the remaining spiritual power.
When the time came, Ying Liuzheng, who had agreed to go with them yesterday, did not show up. The two had to go first to see Mrs. Ying, who personally took them to Luohua Valley.
For such a wealthy family, they would go out in a carriage, accompanied by a group of disciples from the village.
Madam Ying said to them kindly, "I can only take you to the Lotus Fairyland. Whether you can board the One-Leaf Boat depends on you."
Chao Jianxue nodded, "That's enough. Thank you, Madam Ying."
The journey was long, and the carriage had a magical mechanism that could control the wind. After leaving Mengdie Manor, it suddenly soared into the sky. In a blink of an eye, the vast green mountains and green waters were all in sight.
Madam Ying sat in the same carriage with them, looking at the sparkling water veins below, and talked a little.
"It's strange to say that there has been no news from the Yu family in the past few hundred years. If it weren't for the Lotus Fairyland still appearing on time, I would have thought that the Yu family had left Dongyuan."
Chao Jianxue thought that the Yu family didn't even reply to the letter from the head of the sect. The Yu family really became a hermit in the Xuanzhen world.
Mrs. Ying suddenly thought of something and said with regret: "To be honest, the Yu family once had an engagement with my Ying family. At that time, the divination was used to calculate that the future eldest son of the Yu family had a connection with the Ying family, so they sent a token early, but gave it to the then heir of the family head, Xian Ge, to keep, hoping to have a connection with the child of the future head of the Ying family. Unexpectedly... the matter was left unresolved."
Hearing her say this, Chao Jianxue was really curious about the facts of the year and asked: "I heard that the incident at Mengdie Manor that year, what were the causes and consequences?"
"You are young people, it is normal that you don't know."
Mrs. Ying only gave a simple explanation. It turned out that Ying Xian Ge was dissatisfied with the engagement made for her by the clan, and left Mengdie Manor after leaving only a letter. When she came back, she was a lifeless corpse. Even the demon clan that killed her followed her trail and rushed to Mengdie Manor to exterminate them.
As she said this, in a flash, Chao Jianxue remembered a past event briefly mentioned in the chronicles of the Xuanzhen Realm, and the more she thought about it, the more similar it was.
It is said that a woman from a large family eloped with a demon, but the demon was unruly and possessed by a demon. She killed her lover and was so possessed that she wanted to kill the whole family of the woman.
It was because of this incident that the demon in Fumo Pass was ready to make trouble and absorbed the demon's demon energy, almost breaking through Fumo Pass.
At that time, several True Lords rushed to kill the demon. Qishan chased the demon all the way and killed the demon with a sword at the entrance of Fumo Pass, nailing the overflowing demon energy. That's why he asked to guard Fumo Pass later.
The complete break between the human race and the demon race was also because of this incident.
Could it be that Mengdie Manor was the place where this incident happened?
The Ying family did not want to leave traces of their family affairs in the history books, so they concealed their names in the chronicles, and they, the younger generation, naturally did not know.
He looked at Yu Wei, and the sudden realization in the latter's eyes, which was exactly the same as his, confirmed his guess.
The carriage traveled for an incense stick of time and arrived at the famous Fallen Flower Valley.
The peach trees were all over the mountain, pink and tender like a fairyland.
In the shade, in the dense woods, they followed Madam Ying for a long distance. First, they heard the majestic sound of flowing water. After turning the corner, they saw a rushing waterfall in front of them, like the water of the Milky Way.
Madam Ying pointed to it and said, "Through this waterfall, you will reach the lotus fairyland."
The group said goodbye. Madam Ying was very kind to personally send them to the entrance. Chao Jianxue bowed in gratitude.
Madam Ying looked at him, and there seemed to be something unfinished in her eyes, but she finally opened her mouth and just said "take care".
The two jumped through the waterfall. Now Chao Jianxue has the ability to keep herself dry and fresh.
Behind the waterfall, there is a gap that can barely pass one person, and the light on the other side can be vaguely seen.
Chao Jianxue was in front and Yu Wei was behind. Just as they were about to squeeze through the opening, a man suddenly rushed in from the waterfall in a panic, soaking wet.
It was Ying Liuzheng who had been missing before.
He said, "Go, go! My mother wouldn't let me out, so I followed him secretly."
Yu Wei frowned, "This is a matter between me and my senior brother, and has nothing to do with Third Master Ying."
And if Ying Liuzheng went with them, it would be hard to explain if something unexpected happened.
Ying Liuzheng said to Chao Jianxue aggrievedly, "I want to go in with you and see if there is anything I can help with. Don't chase me away..." Chao
Jianxue glanced at Yu Wei. Yu Wei's face was not good. It was rare to see him show his displeasure on his face like this. He was colder than ice in the coldest days of winter.
"Well, my junior brother is right. Third Master Ying should go back." Chao Jianxue swallowed the "promise" that was about to come out.
Ying Liuzheng refused to give up: "Although my cultivation is not good enough, I am a member of the Ying family after all. When the Yu family sees me, they may be more willing to lend you the magic weapon!"
Yu Wei didn't even think about it and said coldly: "No need."
He turned around and flew out of the waterfall. Ying Liuzheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Sure enough, in just a moment, Madam Ying came through the waterfall to catch him.
"Ying Liuzheng! What did I tell you? Come out."
However, Ying Liuzheng's cultivation was really poor, and he had no power to resist. He could only watch himself being dragged away from the waterfall. The imagined opportunity to cultivate feelings with the beauty in the same room also flew away.
So he looked at Yu Wei with hatred. Why did the damn thing break up his good marriage!
Finally, the ears were quiet, leaving only the deafening sound of the waterfall. Chao Jianxue was relieved by this episode, and heaved a long sigh and said to Yu Wei, "Let's go."
"Hey, it's rare to see you so rude, do you hate Young Master Ying San?" He teased with a smile.
Yu Wei said bluntly this time, "He has bad intentions."
Chao Jianxue squeezed into the gap: "He saved us time and energy. Even if he has that kind of thought towards me, what does it matter? He is not a bad person, and it is not a bad thing for me to be liked."
"So, Senior Brother, do you accept homosexuality?" Yu Wei's voice followed closely. The two were very close, but because the gap was narrow, Chao Jianxue had difficulty turning his head. He could only feel the wind blowing on his neck, which made him feel numb.
He nodded this time: "You can try."
His palm felt hot. It was Yu Wei's hand that grabbed his. Chao Jianxue was shocked. His palm was so hot.
"It's so hot. You won't get poisoned here? Hold on, little Junior Brother!" He said fearfully.
Yu Wei's eyes twitched, and he opened his lips and said, "No."
After walking for a long time, he finally understood. In front of him was the endless green leaves that stretched to the sky, which only made people look very small. The vast green and the red lotus formed a picture scroll with no end in sight.
Chao Jianxue stepped on the water shadow, supported by his spiritual power, and walked on the water in a daze.
"How do I find this?" Where did the rumored one-leaf boat come from?
The ripples of the water slowly spread out in circles. Yu Wei walked to his side and said, "This is a hidden formation."
There was a lotus flower that had not yet bloomed in each of the five pinholes around them. As long as they picked it, the true form of the one-leaf boat would be revealed.
Chao Jianxue was too lazy to ask him how he knew. The junior brother always knew everything.
They went to the five directions to pick flowers. The lotus petals were soft and delicate. When they were picked, they became light spots. Then, a snow-white lotus bud grew at the broken branch and slowly opened its petals.
When the two of them picked all the lotus formation eyes, the water surface shook with circles of ripples that gradually expanded. In the blink of an eye, a jade-white boat docked in the lotus bushes, without ropes or paddles.
Chao Jianxue followed Yu Wei on the boat with doubt, and it moved forward without wind.
Countless green lotus leaves were pushed aside from both sides, like a veil being pulled aside layer by layer.
Yu Wei looked anxious, and suddenly said, "Actually, I know what Yucong Yiyezhou is. The ancestor of the Yu family once got a fairy weapon that could create a fairyland isolated from the world. The Yu family placed this fairy weapon in Dongyuan, and that's how Yucong Yiyezhou came into being. After this boat passes the lotus pond, the shore is the fairyland where the Yu family has lived and grown for generations." "
Oh." Chao Jianxue quietly watched the scene in front of him.
"Then how did the Yu family reproduce? Marry within the clan?"
Yu Wei said, "No. It's not that the Yu family members can't leave the country, nor can they bring people back to Yucong Yiyezhou."
So their whereabouts are just a little secretive.
Chao Jianxue still had a faint expression. Yu Wei looked at him and said hesitantly, "Actually..."
Before he could finish the rest of the words, Chao Jianxue's expression suddenly changed.
He looked over Yu Wei's shoulder, saw the scene in front of him, and said in shock, "Is this the fairyland you mentioned?"
Yu Wei's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head away.
The fairyland of Yucong, where lotus flowers once bloomed and breezes blew gently, is now a fiery red ruin. Under the collapsed palaces, there is water all over the sky, reflecting the red sky, like a hell visited by Shura
