Fang Wei had many identities in this world. Some people feared him and some respected him, but he never thought that one day someone would dislike him and think he was too noisy and annoying.
Of course, the one who disliked him for being too noisy and annoying was the young master Hua Shi.
Ever since Fang Wei discovered that Hua Shi always tried all kinds of ways to be lazy because he felt that practicing was too tiring and troublesome, he evolved from a system into a system with an alarm reminder function. Every day when it was time to practice, Fang Wei would take the initiative to remind him to practice.
Sometimes Hua Shi would pretend to agree, and after Fang Wei stopped the prompt, he would continue reading the unfinished book or listening to the unfinished story told by the servant.
Fang Wei saw this many times and gradually figured out the other party's thoughts, so he simply let his voice repeat in the system. As long as Hua Shi didn't practice for a moment, he would not stop for a moment.
Hua Shi finally couldn't stand him anymore and finally stopped trying to cheat and started to concentrate on his cultivation.
The process of cultivation went very smoothly. Because of his talent, Hua Shi encountered almost no problems. Although cultivation cannot be improved overnight, under Fang Wei's supervision, Hua Shi still raised his spiritual sea to the fourth level in just two months.
Although in Fang Wei's opinion, Hua Shi's current level is far from being able to form a contract with the spiritual creature he had arranged in advance, Hua Shi can now at least start making some preparations for the contract.
After confirming that Hua Shi's strength was barely enough to protect himself, Fang Wei fiddled with the system interface for a long time and issued the second main task to Hua Shi.
Hua Shi woke up in the morning and saw the mission sign with a golden exclamation mark in front of him. After complaining about the way to accept the mission, he murmured the content of the mission: "The dark tide of Xuanqing Continent is surging, and the evil ways are secretly planning to rise. The host needs to go to Ningshan and find the token left by the first generation of the master of the spiritual way thousands of years ago. With this token, he can summon his subordinates to crush the evil conspiracy."
Hua Shi read this and blinked, unable to help but ask, "What token?"
Fang Wei certainly didn't answer him, and Hua Shi was naturally accustomed to Fang Wei's silence and didn't expect the other party to give an answer. He just looked at the task in front of him thoughtfully, and after a while he whispered: "This task..."
Fang Wei wanted to know what he was going to say, so she listened carefully, but she didn't expect that he remained silent for a long time and didn't say the rest of the words.
After a moment of silence, Fang Wei finally asked, "Host?"
Hua Shi was a little surprised by Fang Wei's sudden opening. Perhaps it was because the system was usually too silent, so Hua Shi was a little uncomfortable with him taking the initiative to speak. He raised his eyebrows, thought about it and understood what Fang Wei meant, so he said: "What I want to say is that I found that this task is different from the previous main task. It does not limit the time to complete the task."
Fang Wei: “Hmm?”
Soon, Fang Wei understood why Hua Shi said that.
Fang Wei had included a time limit for completing the previous tasks when setting them, so Hua Shi asked people to investigate and listen to their stories, and everything was completed within three days. Fang Wei did not feel that there was anything wrong, but it was not until this time that Fang Wei realized how badly Hua Shi procrastinated when doing things.
On the day he received the task, Hua Shi began to prepare to go out. He first sent people to investigate Ningshan's location. Then, because he was curious about the story of the first master of the spiritual path, he simply called his servants and asked him to tell the identity and life of the first master of the spiritual path.
The Lord of the Spiritual Path was a legendary figure, and there were no fewer records about him than the previous Lord of the Evil Path, Fang Wei. So two whole days had passed while Hua Shi was listening to this story. After two days, when he finally finished listening to the story, Hua Shi finally realized how long he had wasted, so he quickly started to prepare for his trip, such as what food to bring, how much money and clothes to bring, and the accompanying guards, etc.
But because the subordinates were not sure about the preferences of their fifth young master, they asked Hua Shi for his opinion when preparing things. Hua Shi soon became hesitant about what kind of food he should bring. In the end, he simply asked the servants to make some of each food and then slowly tasted them.
That was not all, because he discovered several delicacies that he had never tried before, and heard from the servants that there were actually more and better ways to cook these foods. On a whim, Hua Shi even prepared a food competition in his own yard.
In this way, Hua Shi's attention was constantly distracted by various things while going out, and he was delayed for several days. If Fang Wei hadn't reminded him constantly, he might have forgotten that he had to go out.
After urging the other party like an old nanny for several days, Fang Wei finally realized how much she had miscalculated. She secretly decided not to make such a mistake again. The weaving task must be extremely rigorous and she will never give Hua Shi any chance to find any loopholes.
Fortunately, half a month after receiving the task, Hua Shi finally left the Hua family, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, sitting in a luxurious and spacious carriage with a fireplace, and accompanied by a dozen servants and a carriage full of delicious food, clothes and other things.
By the way, before Hua Shi left, his doting father and his four brothers who doted on his younger brother all came to see him off. After giving him many instructions for a long time, they finally let the young master leave home with some worry. They also arranged dozens of guards to see him off on the road, and sent people to pass on the message that there would be people from the Hua family to greet him in all the towns along the way, and send him to the best restaurants and inns in the local area.
Therefore, Fang Wei's description of the aristocratic family was not accurate. Even if Hua Shi stayed at home every day and indulged in pleasure, with the Hua family's financial situation and the amount of doting on him by his father and brothers, he could definitely live a carefree life.
Fortunately, Hua Shi hasn't reacted yet, and Fang Wei doesn't plan to remind him, allowing him to start the real path of cultivation.
Fang Wei believed that when Hua Shi really entered the door of cultivation, he would find that nothing was more interesting than practicing. This was how he became fascinated with cultivation in the first place.
Unfortunately, Fang Wei did not realize that he, who was obsessed with cultivation, and Hua Shi, who loved pleasure, were originally two different types of people.
Ningshan is not too far from the Hua family. It only takes three days to travel there. However, since Hua Shi was riding in a carriage with a large number of people and carrying too many things, it took a little longer. But it did not delay too much. Since Fang Wei had been waiting for a thousand years, he would not wait even for this little bit of time. After five days of traveling, sightseeing in every town they passed by and eating delicious food, Hua Shi finally brought his people to the foot of Ningshan.
Although this mountain is not extremely steep, it is obviously not something that a carriage can climb. The carriage stopped in front of the mountain. Hua Shi got off the carriage and stared at the top of the mountain in front of him, thinking about how to bring the things in the carriage up. Fang Wei looked at his frowning expression and guessed what he was thinking, so she took the initiative to speak and dispel his fancy ideas: "The secret of Ningshan must not be known to others, otherwise it will bring danger to the host. The host must go up the mountain by himself and cannot bring any followers."
Hua Shi had never expected this to happen. He almost blurted out something in front of so many guards. After finally controlling his expression, he hurriedly asked in his mind, "Can't I bring anyone with me?"
Fang Wei was not moved at all by his pitiful tone: "No."
Although the task he gave to Hua Shi was to find the token left by the first master of the Spiritual Path, in fact, this token was certainly not left by the master of the Spiritual Path. The old man did not leave anything behind at all. Fang Wei asked Hua Shi to come to Ningshan just because he hoped that the other party could take out the things he had hidden here in his early years.
As long as this token can be found, if any of his old subordinates are still alive, they will naturally come looking for Hua Shi when they see it.
Of course, those people were not members of the Lingdao tribe, but bloodthirsty demons in the eyes of the Lingdao.
It was not that Fang Wei deliberately deceived Hua Shi in this way, but Hua Shi, as the son of a spiritual family, would certainly not be willing to go along with the evil ways. Fang Wei wanted him to do things for him, so he could only use this method to change his own identity and give his subordinates a more upright identity.
Fang Wei had already thought of all these things, but Hua Shi was completely unaware of this. He was still worried that he would not be able to bring other people up the mountain: "Well, if I go up the mountain alone, will there be any danger on the mountain?"
Fang Wei said calmly: "There is no danger on the mountain, host, please rest assured."
Hua Shi hesitated: "Even if there is no danger, this mountain is so high, do I really want to climb up by myself?"
Fang Wei corrected him: "This mountain is not very high. It only takes half a day to reach the top."
Hua Shi still couldn't make up his mind: "I think it's getting late today, I'd better rest in the carriage first and go upstairs tomorrow morning."
Fang Wei: “…”
He should have expected Hua Shi to have such a reaction. He did not give Hua Shi a chance to object and said firmly: "Please go up the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise if you wait until the evil people arrive and take action in advance, the host will be in real danger."
Hua Shi thought about it again and again, and felt that compared with climbing the mountain, the problem of encountering an evil killer was more serious. In desperation, he finally had to let his guards wait at the foot of the mountain. He changed into a light and easy-to-travel outfit and started walking up the mountain alone.
It is not correct to say that he was alone, because Fang Wei's consciousness was also in Hua Shi's soul, following him up the mountain.
No one has come up to this Ningshan for a long time. Although it used to be the main altar of Lingdao, it has been completely abandoned after Wei Hualing reduced the main altar to ruins many years ago. The main altar of Lingdao was also moved to today's Qinzhou.
Because of the training during this period, although Hua Shi looked like a pampered young master, his physical strength was actually not bad. It only took him less than two hours to reach the former Lingdao headquarters on the top of Ningshan Mountain.
Over the past thousand years, the ruined walls of this dilapidated main altar have been overgrown with vines and moss, but through these destroyed buildings, one can still vaguely see what it once looked like.
Fang Wei looked at this place through Hua Shi's vision. Without too many feelings in her heart, she just drew the map of this place in her memory in her mind and transmitted it to Hua Shi's mind through the communication of souls.
Hua Shi saw the map and the very conspicuous red dot on the map: "Is the thing I'm looking for right here at the red dot?"
Fang Wei responded: "Yes, host, please come here as soon as possible to get the token."
Hua Shi said "Oh" helplessly, obviously feeling helpless about having to walk such a long distance. However, he did not waste time. After taking a general look at the map, Hua Shi walked towards the damaged gate of the main hall.
The Lingdao main hall is very large, and it has a history of thousands of years. If Fang Wei hadn't smashed it to pieces, perhaps the leaders of the Lingdao would have stayed here. Fang Wei didn't have much feeling about this place in the past, but now looking at it through Hua Shi's eyes, he realized that this place is really spacious, so spacious that it is almost desolate.
Of course, this place had indeed been deserted for a long time. Passing through several grassy courtyards and pavilion corridors buried by rocks, Hua Shi inevitably felt a little nervous, so he began to make small talk with the system in his mind.
These conversations were also very simple, nothing more than the enjoyment that Hua Shi was best at, such as what music was nice to listen to, what was delicious and so on.
Hua Shi kept walking according to the map. However, perhaps because he was too absorbed in talking, or because the place was too different from the one on the map, Hua Shi, who should have reached his destination quickly, somehow missed the room and turned into another room.
Fang Wei realized something was wrong and was suddenly startled. She wanted to open her mouth to remind him, but it was too late. Hua Shi disliked the dust on the door and was unwilling to use his hand, so he gently pushed the door open with his toes.
When the door opened, the first thing that caught my eye was a portrait on the wall that had almost lost its color due to being so old.
The man in the painting has a peerless appearance, with delicate features, and he is looking at him with a smile through the white veil that is blown by the wind.
