After being pulled up by the master

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xue Wendi was so tired that he fell asleep for a long time because of planting flowers that day, and it was not until this morning that he regained his vigor.He opened his eyes, and found that the master had made him a low bamboo bed at some point, hanging from one end to the other, under his own bed.

Xue Wendi covered herself with the quilt and thought for a while before realizing what was missing in the room.

Master is not here.

It's because he's been sleeping for the past few days, isn't Master going to take him out?

Thinking about it, Xue Wendi got up, put on his clothes, jumped off the cot, and went out to look for Xue Si.

It's not that Xue Si didn't call him, but that the two apprentices who had gone out had come back, and as masters, they had to see him no matter what.

Xue Wendi slipped into the main hall and hid behind the pillars.The first thing he saw was the familiar white clothes, followed by Fu Ji and Cao Ruoyu, and there were two strangers in the middle, I don't know who they were.

The one on the left is much fairer than the people around him at a glance, with painted lips, clear eyes, and two lovely dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiles.But generally speaking, his appearance is too gorgeous, which makes people doubt how capable he is.

The one on the right is even more burly against him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic spirit.

Xue Wendi couldn't help thinking that if he painted a beard on his face, Zhang Fei might be reincarnated.

"Since I have returned to the mountain gate, I can practice with peace of mind. I will give you a day off today, and go to rest."

As Xue Si said, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had noticed Xue Wendi in the corner.And the other party also had a tacit understanding, feeling that they should have finished talking about business at this moment and were about to leave soon, so they hid themselves again.

"Yes, Master."

The two juniors who just came back responded, and left together with Fu Ji and Cao Ruoyu.

Only then did Xue Si return to the bamboo house, and Xue Wendi hurried after her.

In front of the house, Xue Si glanced at the cluster of elegant orchids, picked one, put it in today's fresh water, and said: "Xiaolou, it's not convenient for you to go out for a walk today, just stay in the house. Let's study with Master."

"it is good."

Xue Wendi didn't think otherwise, but asked, "Master, who is that white-looking one, and who is the other one?"

This time, Xue Si did not answer him directly, but said: "You will know soon."

Xue Wendi was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he sat on the table and let his master sweep it for him, and then opened an old book.

Fu Ji and his juniors had just passed the viewing platform and were about to go back to their houses when the handsome man suddenly said, "Second Senior Brother, did anything interesting happen during my absence?"

"It's not fun, it's just that the master said he found the elder brother."

The other party immediately became interested: "Really? What does it look like? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Master said it's inconvenient for the elder brother to come back, so he just gave him a clay doll, so it's time to meet us." Cao Ruoyu interrupted, muttering, "But master hasn't taken out that clay doll for several days, you He didn't bring it with me when I came back with my junior brother."

"Oh?"

The person who asked the question was very interested, "Then you are not curious?"

"Curiosity, but we'd better leave Master's affairs alone." Fu Ji persuaded.As the third junior, he likes to watch the excitement the most, especially when he always has a sense of probing the real identity of the master. In his opinion, this is a little bit out of bounds.

But Third Junior Brother himself didn't think so.

"I'm just curious about this matter. Besides, we are all from the same sect. What's there to hide? Besides, I haven't seen anyone for ten years. I'm really worried. What if I come back with a beard? ? Lowered the average level of our division!"

Shi Wei said so.

Cao Ruoyu and Zhang He, who seemed to be honest, were the first to agree with his eloquent provocation: "Then let's take a look, quietly, so that Master won't find out."

"Go!"

Shi Wei laughed, and turned back straight away, Fu Jila couldn't hold back, so he had no choice but to follow behind them, thinking that if something went wrong, he would still be able to get around a bit.

Xue Wendi was studying with Xue Si when he heard the sound of footsteps outside the house.

In fact, Fu Ji's down path has always been very steady, his footwork is light and slow, basically unnoticed, Cao Ruoyu is just a bit short, and the two face-to-face juniors I saw in the main hall today are not as good as him, so no matter how hard he hides his tracks , Xue Wendi still recognized a thing or two.

"Master, several of my juniors have sneaked in, outside the courtyard."

He looked at the familiar words on the book, but he didn't realize the possible "crisis".

"Then go see me."

"Ok?"

When Xue Wendi was puzzled, Xue Si had already picked him up and put him on the window sill.

Outside the courtyard, a few figures flitted past and hurriedly lowered their bodies, but Xue Siquan pretended not to see them.

Xue Wendi was hung on the window sill and did not dare to move.Fortunately, Xue Si still knew to face him directly outside the house, and now, he could see clearly.

A few people squatted outside the courtyard wall, Shi Wei gently pushed Fu Ji: "Second senior brother, go and distract Master, you are the most diligent and studious, you will go to Master, Master will definitely not be suspicious."

Fu Ji was still hesitating. Although he had heard Shi Wei's plan over and over on the way here, he still felt that it was too risky and inappropriate.

Shi Wei begged him in a low voice: "Second senior brother, you care about us the most, you just go for a while, we will sneak a look and come back, we will never cause trouble for you."

"I'm afraid you will be punished." Fu Ji sighed slightly, "Although the master never punishes us, it doesn't mean that the master has no temper. It took him ten years to find the senior brother, which shows that the senior senior brother must be very important to him. You go like this Steal, er, no, to spy on other people’s little clay figurines, isn’t it?”

"Let's just take a look, and it won't be missing arms or legs."

Shi Wei was a little dissatisfied, but it was Cao Ruoyu who smoothed things over: "Since the second senior brother is unwilling, then I'll go and wait."

As soon as the words fell, he jumped out, and Fu Ji held his forehead, so he had no choice but to follow.

Shi Wei opened the courtyard door, glanced quietly, and found a bamboo figure that he had never seen before on the window sill.

Reminiscent of the little clay figurine from before, he couldn't help but wonder, is this also a gift from the elder brother?After all, Master doesn't know how to do such small things.

Thinking of this, Shi Wei temporarily had a bold idea.

He saw that Fu Ji and Cao Ruoyu went in to find Xue Si in the name of asking for advice, so he tiptoed, thinking that he quietly snatched away the little bamboo man, hid it in his sleeve, and thought he left without anyone noticing.

If Xue Wendi could have an expression at this time, he would definitely give him a big roll of eyes.

Help, is this junior brother too confident?

He couldn't help smiling.

After being "stolen" by Shi Wei, Fu Ji also decided to run away because he was nervous and unable to perform well. When he was in a mess, Cao Ruoyu also revealed his secrets, and the two simply broke the pot and ran away together.

When the four met again, Fu Ji stared at the little bamboo figure in Shi Wei's hands, his expression changed from shock to puzzlement and then to panic, which can be described as wonderful.

"Didn't you say you just took a look?"

He didn't close his mouth for a long time, Shi Wei smiled, and didn't think he did anything wrong: "I'll send it back later, second senior brother, don't worry!"

"Take it without asking, it's called stealing!"

Fu Ji was really angry, and pulled him to plead guilty in front of the master. Under the pull, Shi Wei was also a little unhappy: "What are you doing so seriously? Can I still hurt the master?"

Cao Ruoyu and Zhang He were caught in the middle to persuade them, but they couldn't persuade them no matter what.

Xue Wendi didn't want to persuade him at all, and even wanted to laugh, childish, a bunch of childish ghosts, when he regained his human body, he kicked and kicked his ass.

After arguing, Shi Wei yelled directly: "This bamboo man is an evil thing! There are ghosts inside. He has been around Master for a long time, so he must have hurt his yang energy. If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you!"

Xue Wendi was stunned for a moment, huh?Can this junior brother still see himself?

Not to mention him, everyone present was stunned.

Fu Ji was even more careful: "Are you serious?"

"really."

Now, the brothers and sisters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shi Wei is not like them, who entered this mountain gate just after learning the way of swordsmanship.He came halfway, and when he came, he was already capable, with a mahogany sword on his back, like a god, a ghost, and a bit advanced.

Therefore, Fu Ji didn't dare to regard him as his younger brother, because the other party had calculated hexagrams for him several times, and they always hit the mark. Now that he said that there were ghosts in the bamboo man, he was dubious.

In this world, humans and ghosts coexist, and it is not impossible to be possessed by evil things.

Seeing that Fu Ji was confused, Shi Wei knew that he was loose, so he calmed down and said softly: "I'll set up a formation to see if I can recruit the ghosts from here. If it's a bad ghost, Solve it on the spot so as not to disturb Master, what do you think?"

Xue Wendi also had a whim, he wanted to see how to solve it on the spot.

Fu Ji hesitated again and again, but finally agreed.

According to Shi Wei's intention, the senior brothers drew something similar to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams array on the unmanned viewing platform, and folded some peach branches to form a bonfire, and put the little bamboo man on the fire.

Shi Wei took out a string of brass bells that he always carried from his waist bag, and muttered a dance around the little bamboo man. The dancing posture was horrible, not to mention Fu Ji, even Cao Ruoyu couldn't help it, and turned his head away. .

Xue Wendi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after listening to it, he realized that he, as a junior, seemed to really be able to recite the incantation.

That is a relatively difficult technique. Generally, only beginners who have practiced immortality since childhood have this basic learning, but Shi Wei, who has become a monk halfway, has a good appearance?

Xue Wendi raised his heart, calmed down, and prepared to find out the details of this junior.

While Shi Wei was thinking, Cao Ruoyu lit the mahogany branch with a movement of his eyes, and the smoke rose straight up, making Xue Wendi burst into tears.

At this moment, Shi Wei bit his index finger, a line of blood red streaked across the copper bell, Xue Wendi suddenly felt an external force attack, pulled him, but it quickly faded away.

"It's quite capable."

Xue Wendi praised, after all, the protective spell that the master gave him is very strong, and it can make him feel these powers, Shi Wei is already very good.

He had a plan in his heart and followed the plan, but he really ran out lightly.

Cao Ruoyu opened his mouth wide, seeing the thick smoke turning into a faint green, he stuttered in fright: "Three, three senior brothers!"

Shi didn't see it, so he dripped two more drops of blood on the edge of his sword, and stabbed it directly: "Evil obstacle, still not showing its original shape?"

"Hey, why do these words sound familiar?"

Xue Wendi scratched his head, and scattered the green smoke, forming a thick fog that covered the sky, trapping the four juniors inside without seeing each other.

Fu Ji was the most cautious, and raised his sword to warn, he shouted: "Cenglan, Wuheng, Yunke, where are you all, are you okay?"

All three of them replied simultaneously from three directions: "I'm fine, how about you?"

Cao Ruoyu was afraid of this kind of thing the most, and was terrified: "Second senior brother, we won't offend the ghosts, right? I don't want to die here! Master help!"

"Shut up! What are you afraid of? It's such a small thing!"

Shi Wei slapped his swollen face to pretend to be fat, and was still doing his little tricks. Xue Wendi floated in the air, with Erlang's legs crossed, and when he flicked his fingers, the copper bell in the opponent's hand became dumb, and there was no movement at all.

Sweat gradually broke out on Shi Wei's forehead, Xue Wendi walked around behind him, and smiled darkly twice, as soon as Shi Wei turned his head, he quickly disappeared into the fog again, and there was no ghost at all.After going back and forth a few times, Shi Wei almost collapsed, and began to sob: "Master, this disciple realizes his mistake, help me, Master!"

On the contrary, the honest Zhang He was not afraid of the sky and the earth, sitting on the ground and looking around.

Xue Wendi saw his calm and composed appearance, he didn't have much interest, so he stopped playing tricks on him, and went to Fu Ji's place instead.

Although the other party kept holding the sword and groping around vigilantly, in fact, he couldn't get out of the range that Xue Wendi had drawn for him.

Junior brother Fu is pretty good, but it seems that his master has never taught him how to break it.

Xue Wendi pondered. Could it be that he wanted to teach me when I come back?Not impossible.

He suddenly felt that the burden on himself was a little heavier.

Xue Wendi thought, exhausted gradually, and he couldn't come out for too long, or his foundation would be damaged, so he withdrew his spell and went back into the little bamboo man.

Shi Wei opened his eyes again, and found that Cao Ruoyu and Fu Ji were circling around in place, and Zhang He was sitting on the ground staring at them blankly.The peach tree branch had long been extinguished, and the little bamboo man's body was covered in black soot.

"Have enough fun?"

A clear and very dull voice came out from behind them, and the four of them trembled almost in unison.

"Master."

They bowed their heads, the shame of doing something wrong, the shame of being discovered, and the grievance of being scared out of their wits by ghosts.

Xue Si looked at this, then at that, a very thin silver thread flew out from his sleeve, hooked Xue Wendi, pulled him back, and held him in his hand.Although he usually has no expression, Xue Wendi can clearly see his dislike at this moment.

"Set fire to the mountain, record a major demerit each, and go to the kitchen to boil water and chop firewood for a month."

After Xue Si finished speaking lightly, he was about to leave with Xue Wendi in his hand, but Fu Ji stopped him from behind: "Master, the bamboo man may be possessed by a ghost. We have seen it just now. Fortunately, Master, you showed up in time. Only, only—”

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

Xue Si didn't turn around, but said calmly: "Understood, I will be careful. But you guys, don't do such a dangerous thing next time."

Fu Ji was dumbfounded. Seeing that Xue Si was about to leave, he plucked up his courage and asked, "Then master has a way to crack it?"

"Naturally there is."

Xue Si didn't want to say much, and went back with Xue Wendi who was drowsy.
