Chapter 12 The goal has been achieved
After carefully examining the pure white jade flute from beginning to end, Mo Youli did not find anything special.
Perhaps only after playing it can I discover the mystery of this jade flute, Mo Youli thought.
He tried to relax his body as much as possible, holding both ends of the flute with his hands, the head with his left hand and the tail with his right hand. He placed the blowing hole under the lower edge of his lower lip, aimed at the blowing hole, and tentatively input breath.
The sound rang out briefly, and he looked around, but nothing happened.
Maybe it needs a few more blows?
Seeing that there was no change around him, Mo Youli thought for a moment and decided to just go ahead and perform a performance.
As the melodious sound spread, the surrounding trees suddenly changed.
Dense swarms of insects crawled down from the tree, moving step by step towards Mo Youli, and stopped moving forward when they were half a meter away from Mo Youli.
insect?
Mo Youli was surprised and confused.
Why do insects appear when the jade flute is played? Is the jade flute a medium, able to command insects to do things for it?
Do whatever you think of. While playing the flute, Mo Youli tried to give orders in his brain to make the group of insects dance in front of him.
With a command, the group of insects wriggling on the ground suddenly stood up and began to move their bodies desperately, moving three circles to the left, twisting three circles to the right, and even jumping up and spinning, trying to please Mo Youli.
The scene was a bit disgusting for a while, and Mo Youli couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He quickly ordered the group of insects to stop their behavior and let them go back to where they came from.
When all the insects left, Mo Youli's eyes suddenly felt much more comfortable. He breathed a sigh of relief, put down the jade flute, put it on his belt, thought for a moment, and decided to go to the meeting place.
The golden thread has disappeared, but fortunately the route is simple and it is not difficult to return based on memory.
When Mo Youli arrived at the meeting point, Xu Ren'er's small figure was wandering not far away. When he noticed Mo Youli coming, he quickly ran towards him.
Mo Youli noticed with his sharp eyes that when Xu Ren'er was running, he had four white short boots on his feet.
Some corners of the white boots were decorated with peony patterns sewn with gold thread, which looked lifelike. As Xu Ren'er ran, the gold thread began to flicker, which was particularly beautiful.
"Ren'er, are these shoes of yours...your weapons?"
Mo Youli asked hesitantly.
These shoes seem to be made of a special material, different from the common cloth shoes and straw sandals. The material seems to be animal skin, which is a bit stiff. Mo Youli guessed that these shoes should be very comfortable to wear.
But, shoes, can be used as weapons?
"I don't know. I haven't figured out what's so special about these shoes. I can only ask Master when I get out and see what he thinks."
Xu Ren'er shook his head helplessly and said.
Seeing this, Mo Youli quickly comforted him and began to change the subject, talking about his weapons and their functions.
Xu Rener listened with great interest, his attention was successfully diverted, and he would interrupt from time to time to ask some questions about details.
Mo Youli simply pulled the jade flute out of his belt, and the man and the dog studied it carefully.
"Since Master brought us here specifically to find weapons suitable for us, I believe their effects must be far more than just controlling insect creatures."
Xu Rener expressed her views.
"You mean you think the Jade Flute can control other creatures."
The two had studied and learned martial arts together for a while, and Mo Youli and Xu Ren'er had already developed some tacit understanding, and he instantly understood what Xu Ren'er wanted to express.
"That's right. It just so happens that this forest is not short of animals. Maybe after we get out, you can give it a try. I'll cover for you."
After he finished speaking, Xu Ren'er stretched out his right front leg towards Mo Youli with his paws open. Mo Youli understood immediately and handed the jade flute to Xu Ren'er.
Xu Ren'er carefully examined the white jade flute, raised his eyebrows, and asked Mo Youli jokingly, "You don't mind if I damage your jade flute, right?"
When Mo Youli heard this, he was immediately displeased and quickly snatched the jade flute back, saying bluntly, "I mind."
He had just acquired this jade flute, how could he bear to let Xu Ren'er ruin it?!
Xu Ren'er shrugged, showing her understanding, and gave Mo Youli her explanation.
"I just want to see if this jade flute is strong enough. Maybe in addition to magical damage, I can also try physical damage."
Of course, this is just talk. The jade flute is not specially made as a weapon for attack. The material is relatively fragile. If it is damaged accidentally, it will be troublesome.
Mo Youli was confused and asked what magic damage and physical damage were, but he didn't understand.
Since he had nothing to do, Xu Ren'er patiently explained it to him and added some modern language knowledge.
Time passed by unknowingly, and both of them felt a little reluctant to leave.
"It's been so long, why hasn't Qiuyue come back yet? Did something happen?"
Seeing that it was getting late and Tang Qiuyue had not shown up yet, Mo Youli couldn't help but start to worry.
"Hmph hmph—"
Just as Mo Youli finished speaking, a noticeable heavy gasp reached their ears. The two looked towards the source of the sound and were stunned.
Tang Qiuyue looked as if she had lost all hope in life. She held an axe handle in each hand, walking in front and the axe following behind. The axe blade fell to the ground and was dragged by Tang Qiuyue, leaving two long straight lines on the ground.
Mo Youli: "..."
Xu Rener: “…”
Tang Qiuyue saw them not far away, and her empty eyes suddenly began to light up.
"A-Li—Ren'er—come and save me—these two axes are really heavy—"
Tang Qiuyue was really devastated. The weight of any one of these two giant axes would probably exceed her, let alone two of them?
She dragged the two axes all the way back to the meeting point, her hands almost numb from exhaustion.
Mo Youli put the jade flute on his belt and hurried to help Tang Qiuyue. Tang Qiuyue spread out her hands and the axe handle fell into Mo Youli's hand. When Mo Youli's palm touched the axe handle, he was surprised to find that the touch of the axe handle was actually quite good, very comfortable and not rough.
"Let me relax for a while, then we can set off again."
Tang Qiuyue made the request breathlessly. With them around, she didn't have to be so tense and on guard. It would be better for her to take a break, recover her strength, and then make plans.
The man and the dog naturally agreed readily.

Under the shade of the tree, Yu Hui, who was resting with his back against the tree trunk, slowly opened his eyes.
Glancing at the place where his disciples had left, he curled the corners of his mouth, straightened his body, and walked over. Just after taking a few steps, several figures suddenly appeared out of thin air. They were none other than his good disciples.
He carefully observed the changes in them and roughly drafted a training plan in his mind.
Mo Youli's weapon is a jade flute. Most of these musical instrument weapons are aimed at control, and a small number are aimed at musical attacks, but without exception, all of them are long-range attacks. In this case, self-protection is very important.
Yu Hui took only one look and decided to focus more on training Mo Youli's defense.
Tang Qiuyue, those two axes look incredibly heavy. With her skinny arms and legs, if she were to fight the enemy and couldn't even lift a weapon, how would she handle it?!
Yu Hui frowned slightly and decided to increase Tang Qiuyue's physical training to the maximum. As long as she didn't die from the training, he would train her to death.
Finally, he glanced at Xu Ren'er, and for the first time in his life, his brain froze and stopped working.
The only change on Xu Ren'er is a pair of shoes. How can shoes be used as weapons?
"Master, what should we do next?"
Seeing that Yu Hui looked at them without saying a word after seeing them, Tang Qiuyue couldn't help but asked.
Yu Hui's attention was drawn back by Tang Qiuyue's voice. He stared at Xu Ren'er with complicated eyes for a while, which made Xu Ren'er feel creepy.
After a long time, he finally spoke.
"The purpose of this trip has been achieved. There is nothing else to do. We can just go back."
After he finished speaking, he took Tang Qiuyue's axe in his own hands to help them solve their biggest burden at the moment.
The axes were not heavy for him, and he even shook them twice in the air. If it were not for the strong wind in the air, he would probably have mistaken the two axes for a man-made, very light toy.
On the way back, the road was smooth, the plants no longer disturbed them, and the strange animals had completely disappeared.
In order to verify the guess made by Xu Ren'er during the conversation with Mo Youli, Mo Youli took out his jade flute and played it all the way, ordering the animals to appear, but unfortunately he got nothing.
It seems that not all animals can be commanded, and the use of the jade flute has restrictions.
Xu Ren'er felt sorry for him about this, but Mo Youli was quite open-minded about it.
If any animal could be controlled, it would be a magical artifact.
What's more, Mo Youli glanced at Xu Ren'er inconspicuously and thought to himself that although Xu Ren'er's soul was human, his body was a dog. When he was playing, he tentatively gave Xu Ren'er instructions, but Xu Ren'er was not affected by his jade flute at all.
After successfully leaving the forest, they looked back and saw that the forest had disappeared the moment the last person left, as if all their experiences were just a dream of Huang Ke.
But the extra things in them remind them that they really had such an experience.
"Master, is the sword that my brother practices with every day also from this forest?"
Tang Qiuyue asked.
“Of course, to be my apprentice, one must be an outstanding talent, and Beiju is naturally one of them.
But, he is a little different from you..."
Everyone instantly became curious, their ears perked up, waiting for what would happen next.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the people around him, Yu Hui had an idea, and his evil intentions began to emerge again, so he stopped talking.
"Master, please continue talking. What exactly is the difference?" Seeing that Yu Hui was silent, Tang Qiuyue urged.
Yu Hui pretended not to hear Tang Qiuyue's words. He stretched as he walked, and raised both axes to the sky at the same time, emitting a dazzling silver light under the light.
He said, "Oh, oh, I'm old, and my memory is not good. I can't remember much, maybe I need some good things to stimulate it."
The disciples looked at each other for a few seconds, and the next moment, several of them surrounded him and made promises to him.
Tang Qiuyue: "I promise, I won't be lazy in my training anymore."
Mo Youli: "I promise, I won't turn a blind eye to Qiuyue's laziness anymore. I'll tell you the first time I find out."
Xu Ren'er: "I promise, if I find anyone slacking off, I won't turn a blind eye and will notify you on the spot."
As soon as the last two people finished speaking, Tang Qiuyue quickly gave each of them a sharp look.
Tang Qiuyue: ...Are you polite? Don't you have a guilty conscience?!
The other two felt Tang Qiuyue's glare and quickly responded to her: The most important thing is to fool the master first!
When Tang Qiuyue saw this, her eyes blazed with anger: "You can't just let me be the only one to be sacrificed?!"
The man and the dog continued to exchange glances. "Wasn't it you who suggested it first? We'll make it up to you later! We'll take care of whatever you want to eat during this time."
Tang Qiuyue was speechless: I'm not a foodie?!
Seeing the eye contact between his disciples, Yu Hui couldn't help but feel amused.
These stupid disciples were winking at him like crazy, treating him like a blind man!
"Well, since you all said so, I'll just tell you a few words about Beiju's experience."
Yu Hui deliberately coughed to hide his smile and spoke.
