Chapter 269 Departure
The Wanjian Sect began martial law.
The frequency of patrols within the jurisdiction has been increased, and young disciples are not allowed to go out at all. Disciples who are outside have also been notified to come back if possible, and those who cannot come back should find a safe area nearby and keep a low profile for a while.
Wei Wenxin is not traveling this time as a combatant, but as the only and irreplaceable technical worker.
So even if the eight leading venerables, thirty gods, and more than four hundred Nascent Soul cultivators were on the warship, she was able to plant the battle flag in the front and in the center.
Maybe it’s also because there are an even number of traveling venerables, but that’s not important.
Early this morning, Wei Wenxin came to the main peak to listen to the instructions of his uncle. The warship went to the floating square of Siguo Cliff to pick up the combatants, and then went to Lingsi Peak to bring back the monks of Qingshen Sect and a pot of enlightenment tea. Finally, he came to the main peak to pick up Wei Wenxin.
After leaving the sect, the warship headed west.
From the Wanjian Sect's mountain gate to the western border, before entering the mortal world, the group will board the Wanjian Sect's warship.
In order to accumulate experience, the Qingshen Sect took the initiative to propose to transplant their tree first. The other four forces thought it made sense and did not mind. The drawing of lots had been decided before, and would be done by the Tianyin Sect, Piaoxue Sect, Tianfu Sect and Danxin Sect.
Wei Wenxin didn't care about the specific order. Anyway, escorting the second tree would have to wait for her to come back from Qingshen Sect.
At that time, we will also bring Senior Mu Qiushi along.
Because he will be responsible for the excavation of the other four spiritual tea trees later.
There are many cabins on the warship. The escort personnel from the Wanjian Sect only showed up at the beginning. Except for the eight leading venerables, they returned to their respective cabins according to their assignments.
The Qingshen Sect was very far away from the Wanjian Sect. Wei Wenxin had seldom dealt with the monks of the Qingshen Sect before. Thinking that she would be with them for a long time in the future, she did not immediately go into the cabin to think about her own affairs.
Seeing that the venerables from both sides came up and stayed in the hall to chat, she took out a big teapot and started to make tea silently.
The tea is produced on the top of their own peak, and Ganlu always leaves the best for her. The spiritual spring is also the one on the top of their own peak. After repeated dredging, and after the master and his disciples moved to Lingyun Mountains, they placed three spiritual veins here, and the quality of this spiritual spring was also upgraded.
It wouldn't be shabby to use it to entertain guests at this time.
The Qingshen Sect is not close to any other sects, and on weekdays people like to live their own lives behind closed doors. So there aren't many opportunities to get together and chat with people from other forces.
The reason why he stayed in the hall and stayed with the eight venerables of the Wanjian Sect was just out of courtesy.
Just when I didn't know what to talk about, I saw Wei Wenxin sitting in the corner and boiling a large pot of tea. With a wave of her hand, more than 20 exquisite white porcelain teacups floated in the air. She then divided the tea into portions and quietly delivered them to everyone.
"It's a rare occasion for us seniors to meet, so I'm sure you have a lot to talk about. A little tea is enough to moisten your throat, so please don't mind."
After doing these things silently, she came behind the elders, found a corner, put a cushion, and sat down obediently.
This time, her master was seriously injured and couldn't accompany her, so she stuck to her uncle, Taoist Master Mingcheng.
The Qingshen Sect sent twelve venerables to obtain this Enlightenment Tea, and no one else was brought along.
At first Wei Wenxin thought they were afraid of being a burden, but Senior Mu said that it was the autumn harvest time for the Qingshen Sect and only old guys like them were free to come out.
Such a bizarre reason would probably sound made up by any other faction except the Qingshen Sect.
Dajiang had just returned from visiting a friend in Tianfu Sect with Taoist Master Mingcheng. As he had not had the chance to talk to Wei Wenxin last time in Biyan City, he was very happy to see Wei Wenxin at this time. He directly crawled out from under his master's clothes and winked at Wei Wenxin.
Wei Wenxin smiled at it, made a "hush" gesture, and then quietly listened to the elders talking. Dajiang was not an ignorant spirit beast, and seeing this, he put his long mouth on her legs and fell asleep obediently.
The Qingshen Sect's venerables first praised her a few words, and then the two sides started chatting, and the conversation became much more relaxed afterwards.
Wei Wenxin felt drowsy after listening to what he heard, so he simply touched Dajiang's thick armor and cleaned the dirt in the gaps.
I thought I would just lie in the corner and wait until everyone left, but unexpectedly a venerable monk opposite me suddenly talked about something.
"A few years ago, one of my disciples went out for training and encountered a strange thing. I wonder if you fellow Taoists have ever encountered this before?"
Someone from the Wanjian Sect immediately said, "I'd like to hear the details!"
Then this person described an incident in detail. It was about his apprentice who went out to gain experience. He met someone who asked him a question. After that, he was unlucky for several years and luckily he didn't return to the sect.
The Wanjian Sect's venerables had never heard of this matter and shook their heads. They were about to start the next topic, but Wei Wen's heart was pounding so hard that he couldn't help but speak boldly.
"Senior, I once trained in the mortal realm northeast of my sect and encountered a similar thing. The other party also asked me a question and then died in front of me immediately. I was scared to death at the time. Fortunately, someone in my group knew about this and told me the whole story."
The other party mentioned this matter not to solve it, but because he was bored and told it as an interesting story. He didn't expect that Wei Wenxin had encountered such a thing. He immediately became interested and asked Wei Wenxin in detail about his experience that year.
Wei Wenxin was used to having everything go his way and had never suffered any loss in his life. When he mentioned this matter, he was very upset!
He then told her everything in detail.
"I wonder if the other party said 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I am willing to die in the evening' when questioning your disciples?"
The Venerable frowned and nodded.
Wei Wenxin immediately became excited!
"I wonder where did your disciples encounter this incident? My friend once told me how to catch the other party! Unfortunately, I only encountered it once and never encountered it again."
After hearing her whole story, an uncle sighed, "Silly child, in this world, if you encounter the 'Path to Immortality' once, you will basically never encounter it again. Because the luck of a person who has been borrowed once, the rest of his luck will basically not be outstanding."
The reason why Wei Wenxin did not suffer bad luck but had good fortune was simply because she had a Bai Ze.
The Xiushan Patriarch was originally just a spirit-transforming cultivator, and the method he came up with was just an unorthodox one. Most of the venerables were unaware of this, and when they heard Wei Wenxin talk about it, they couldn't help but frown.
Because the place where the incident happened as mentioned by the Qingshen Sect’s Venerable was in the most remote mortal kingdom west of Qingshen Sect.
I don’t know who inherited the legacy of the Xiushan ancestor, but in just a few decades, it spread to such a far place.
Everyone had important business to attend to this outing, so they didn't care about this little episode. After chatting for a while about how to deal with the situation, they started talking about other things.
Wei Wenxin felt regretful, but it was of no avail.
With heavy responsibilities on her shoulders, she has less freedom than other elders.
After delivering this tea tree, there are four more waiting for her.
Everyone else can rotate, except her.
Today I overheard a conversation between a sister and a brother. I don’t know what they were talking about, but the sister said impatiently: “Don’t ask me, brother. Those were things that happened when mom and dad were in love. You weren’t even here at that time!”. Well, it seems like she was already here, and she was very proud of herself. This made the brother look in admiration - wow, sister knows so much! Hahaha. I want to laugh when I think of her. One moment she pestered me to buy candy and ride on the rocking wheel, and the next moment she spoke seriously. Is this the legendary little adult?
