This is the day when Immortal Monarch Yuehua gives his monthly routine lectures.
The main purpose is to help disciples solve their doubts and deal with some disputes among disciples.
Because there are few people on the mountain, everyone is in a peaceful mood and every time seems to be the same as before.
It was very easy and ordinary, and the day passed by.
When the small class is over, Yun Nie, who is sitting at the end of the class, will also stand up.
But he would not leave directly with Yuehua Xianjun. Instead, he would fulfill the duties of the eldest senior brother after the master left. Although he was young, he was of a high generation and was a direct disciple, so he had to stay and discuss with his fellow disciples some questions that he was embarrassed to ask the master.
One year is enough for Yun Nie to become a respectable disciple of a prestigious and upright sect.
His skinny body stood up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. His long hair became black and smooth after being carefully nourished by his elders. His face, which was once as pale as that of a dead person about to be buried, also became rosy.
Looking back in a daze, he seemed to have lost recognition of the life that had been brought into the sect by Yuehua Immortal Monarch and had withered like a weed.
Now Yun Nie no longer needs Sang Yue to worry about too many things.
He can get along well with his fellow students, communicate with others normally, and shoulder the responsibilities that he should bear.
He has grown up.
"Yunnie!"
Yun Nie was about to go back to the top of the mountain when Qu Yu called him: "The Bailian Hall has released a batch of new tasks. Do you want to go and take a look?"
There is this matter, I almost forgot.
In addition to obtaining resources from their master, disciples within the sect can also take on tasks assigned by the sect to accumulate contributions. When they have accumulated enough contributions, they can exchange them for resources from the sect.
Whether it is cultivation techniques, elixirs or magic weapons, or places in secret realms... there are so many of them.
There is always something you need.
What Yun Nie needs most now is the jar of Yunhai Xianjiu that can only be exchanged for 99 contributions.
Qu Yu asked as they walked: "By the way, what did you want to exchange? I thought about it carefully and it seems that I don't lack any supplies, so I plan to save them and save them for a bigger one later."
Yunnie: "Yeah, okay."
Qu Yu: "Then what do you want to change?"
Yun Nie: "Cloud Sea Immortal Wine."
Qu Yu: "When did you become such a heavy drinker?"
Yun Nie: "For Master."
Qu Yu was speechless for a while, and suddenly said maliciously: "Hehe, then I'll be the first to change it and give it to Master!"
Yunnie: "Yeah, okay."
After walking two steps, Yun Nie paused, and suddenly remembered the social etiquette that a senior brother should have, so he patted Qu Yu on the shoulder and praised him, "You are very filial. Keep it up."
Qu Yu: “…”
I originally wanted to tease this old-fashioned guy, but Yun Nie didn't show any reaction of competing for favor... He even seemed a little happy, happy that he could save his contribution and exchange it for an extra jar of wine.
Oh, it's so boring.
The two arrived at Bailian Hall and after choosing and choosing, Qu Yu wanted to take a task of dealing with monsters.
It's a bit difficult, it can be considered a challenge to myself. Yun Nie is not afraid, he is just a little embarrassed.
Because of this mission, I have to go back and forth and leave the sect for about half a month.
Yun Nie pondered and said, "I have never been away from my master for so long."
Qu Yu urged: "Are you a child? You are so dependent on others."
Yun Nie added: "But Master will miss me."
Qu Yu said grimly: "Master is already three hundred years old, he won't do that."
Yun Nie slowly widened his eyes and said in shock: "You don't miss it? I can't leave."
Qu Yu: "...Or, why don't you go back and ask your master?"
Yunnie: "Okay."
Qu Yu wiped his face in pain and urged him to go and ask.
After returning to the top of Yuehua Mountain and entering the cave, Yun Nie opened the curtain made of broken jade beads and said as usual: "Master, I'm back."
Sang Yue was sitting at the table pruning flower branches, his gold-sprinkled robe spreading out behind him like a foamy coastline under the setting sun.
He looked up at the sound and smiled at Yun Nie: "You came back later than usual today. What's the matter? Did those guys give you any trouble?"
Yun Nie sat in front of him, watching his master's patient movements, pondered, and shook his head.
Sang Yue was a little curious and put down the carving scissors: "What happened?"
Yun Nie then told the story again, and finally asked: "Master, will you miss me?"
Sang Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Xiao Nie, that's all I want to know?"
Yunnie nodded vigorously.
Sang Yue said, "Of course I do. You've been with me for almost two years, and you've never been away from me for so long."
As he was talking, Sang Yue suddenly felt a sense of freshness.
The disciples who served him day after day grew and changed imperceptibly, and he had gotten used to it, so it was difficult for him to have sufficient understanding of such changes.
It was not until someone reminded him that he realized that so much time had passed.
Sang Yue thought for a moment and pulled Yun Nie up: "This is your first time to handle such a big event, so you should be more prepared."
Yun Nie thought, it's not a big deal, there are many fellow apprentices who would accept this level of mission...
But Sang Yue didn't think so. He was just like every parent who was packing bags for his child who was about to go to the battlefield. The more he prepared, the more anxious he became, and the more reluctant he became.
However, the disciples had to hone themselves during their travels. Spoiling a child is like killing him, and doting too much is not good... Sang Yue knew this, so he had to restrain himself from being too exaggerated.
When they were leaving, Sang Yue looked at Yun Nie in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head, and said with nostalgia: "When I first met you, you were only this short, only up to Master's shoulders. Now you have grown so much taller, you have reached the tip of Master's nose."
Yun Nie: “…”
Yes, it hurts to say it. Years of malnutrition have damaged my foundation. Only after I became a disciple and worked hard to make up for it, I can grow to this height.
Once upon a time, he had dreamed that he was taller and stronger than his master and that he could protect his master in his arms. Now, the first item can be ruled out.
"Master, I'm leaving now."
"Let's go." Sang Yue stood at the entrance of the cave and saw him off.
Yun Nie took two steps forward: "Master, I'm leaving now."
Sang Yue waved his hand: "Let's go, remember to come back early."
Yun Nie took two more steps: "Master, I am really leaving."
Sang Yue continued to wave his hand: "Don't eat anything outside, be careful not to get an upset stomach."
Yun Nie: "Master..."
Qu Yu, who had been waiting impatiently on the mountainside, ran up and felt like his eyes were going blind when he saw the master and disciple bidding farewell to each other.
He could no longer bear it and rushed forward. After greeting Sang Yue, he forcibly dragged Yun Nie away.
This journey lasted for four days and nights, and Qu Yu was so exhausted that his eyes turned black.
Qu Yu swore tremblingly: "Next time, I will never go on a long trip with you again."
Yun Nie still looked back from time to time: the first day he missed his master, the second day he missed his master, the third day he missed his master, and, the fourth day he missed his master.
The journey, which was originally planned to take seven days, was completed in four days.
Yun Nie didn't say much along the way, but Qu Yu guessed that he was in a hurry to complete the mission and return to the sect to see his master!
Yun Nie ignored his threats, opened the file, and checked the news: "We need to solve the monster that steals children. Five or six families have had their children stolen."
The location is in a deserted town. Because of this monster, many families have taken their children away for safety recently.
The front was empty, with an uneasy silence.
I quietly found the mayor who stayed behind and learned from him that this monster often appeared at night and was very scary and powerful. None of the young Taoist priests who had come to catch the monster before had succeeded.
So the two of them decided to find a house with children to stay at and wait for the night to do the work.
But the mayor said, "That won't work. All the families with children in our town have left."
In other words, there is no bait anymore.
At this time, the clever Qu Yu came up with an idea. One of them should put on women's clothes, hold a fake child made of a doll, and pretend to be a widow on the road to lure the monster out.
The other person will then support in secret, and if both sides cooperate with each other, they will definitely be able to catch the monster.
But here comes the problem.
Who plays the widow?
Qu Yu: "I have already contributed the idea, so you play it."
Yun Nie didn't care: "Okay."
After putting on the large-sized women's clothing donated by the townspeople, Yun Nie hugged the baby and said, "I'm fine."
Qu Yu: "No, you are not good."
Perhaps there really is such a cold-blooded, upright and elegant widow in the world, but anyone who looks into her eyes can tell that she is not an ordinary person.
No one would mistake his gender, even if he was wearing women's clothes.
No one dared to look down on him as long as they could see his eyes.
Unless the monster is a fool without a brain, it will definitely not be fooled.
Yun Nie: "What's wrong?"
Qu Yu: "Poor acting!"
There was no other choice, and in the end Qu Yu had to pretend to be this poor widow on the road.
