Chapter 236: The Sacrificial Ceremony
The years are quiet,
No worries.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day in Aiju Mountain, Yun Shu'er occasionally practiced martial arts, just to find Qiu Huaici, Shangguan Li'er and Nanjiao and others to play and frolic.
One day, afternoon.
Qiu Huaici summoned Shangguan Li'er, Nanjiao, and Yun Shu'er in the random hall, with a solemn expression and a heavy heart.
Yun Shu'er saw Qiu Huaici's rare seriousness, and asked in surprise, "Master, what happened?"
Qiu Huaici nodded, glanced at the three apprentices, and said slowly: "Children, in two days, it will be the sacrificial ceremony of the creation of the Tianshu faction of the mother sect of this sect, as a disciple of the Tianshu sect of the master sect, and the former head of the sect, I must attend, so I will temporarily leave Aiju Mountain for a while!"
Shangguan Li'er and the three of them were taken aback when they heard Qiu Huaici's decision, you must know that since they settled in Aiju Mountain, Qiu Huaici has accompanied them every day and never went out, and today they want to leave Aiju Mountain, but it is the first time in several years!
Yun Shu'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Master, how long are you leaving?"
Qiu Huaici smiled: "It may take a few days, but Master will try to rush back a day earlier." ”
Yun Shu'er thought for a moment, grinned, and said in a sweet voice, "Master, your sect is the Tianshu faction, and we are your disciples, so it stands to reason that I, Sister Li'er, and Brother Nanjiao are also disciples of the Tianshu faction, since our mother sect is holding a sacrifice ceremony, can we also participate?"
Qiu Huaici shook his head and shouted, "No! you can't go!"
Yun Shu'er hurriedly shouted, "Why, aren't we disciples of the Heavenly Guard?"
Qiu Huaici said: "Master is a disciple of the Heavenly Guard, you are a disciple of the teacher, of course you are a disciple of the Heavenly Guardian, but the Heavenly Guardian Sect has been established for more than 8,000 years, the side branches are oblique, the interests are entangled, there are many disciples, the sages are like carp, like this kind of ancestor worship ceremony, only some leading figures can participate, how can you be qualified to attend!"
Yun Shu'er said with a smile: "Master, although we are unknown juniors, we have you, you are still the nominal head of the Tianshu faction, and besides, you are the first in the world in magic and admired by the world, with these two points, it is not easy to let you bring a few apprentices to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, isn't it easy, a piece of cake?"
Qiu Huaici said: "Bao'er, with the identity and reputation of the teacher, it is not impossible to bring you to the heavenly guard to participate in the sacrifice ceremony, but the identity of the teacher is special, and some things must be set by example, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can't provoke criticism!"
Yun Shu'er pursed her mouth and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Master, in fact, these reasons of yours are not their reasons, you have said so much, it's not that you are afraid of trouble, and you don't want to take us there!"
Shangguan Lian'er smiled, "Bao'er, the master has the master's difficulties, don't mess around!"
Nanjiao plucked up his courage and said softly, "Master, I want to go to the castle tower too!"
Qiu Huaici smiled softly and said, "Bao'er, for the teacher to know, you stay in Aiju Mountain every day, your heart is tired, you want to go out for a walk, but this time for the teacher there are some important things to deal with, I can't take you there, I hope you don't blame you!"
Yun Shu'er sighed, looked disappointed, and said wistfully: "Okay! If you don't go, you won't go, I'm still tired to walk such a long way?"
Qiu Huaici listened to Yun Shu'er's angry words, secretly smiled bitterly, his heart softened, and he wanted to take Yun Shu'er out for a walk, but thinking of Yun Shu'er's special identity, he dispelled the thought, he turned to Shangguan Li'er, and admonished: "Li'er, you are the senior sister, during the days when the teacher leaves the mountain, you have to take care of the mountain gate and protect your younger brothers and sisters, you know?"
Shangguan Li'er's expression froze, and she nodded in response: "Master rest assured, the disciple will definitely take care of the mountain gate and protect his younger brothers and sisters!"
Yun Shu'er turned amorous, a smile appeared on her face, and asked, "Master, when are you leaving?"
Qiu Huaici said: "I'll leave tomorrow morning!"
Yun Shu'er smiled and said, "Master, when you leave, let me send you off!"
Qiu Huaici nodded and said, "I don't have anything to say for the teacher, so you can disperse!"
Yun Shu'er winked at Shangguan Li'er and Nanjiao, then stepped forward quickly, grabbed Qiu Huaici's arm, and accompanied Qiu Huaici to the inner courtyard.
Qiu Huaici said with a smile: "Little girl, don't get tired of me, today you just said that the sky is broken, and the master will not take you to the heavenly shut, you will die of that thought!"
Yun Shu'er's eyes widened, and she shouted unhappily: "Master, what kind of person do you think of me, you have said that you have something important, and you can't take us to the castle tower, how can I still be unreasonable and mess around, am I so ignorant!"
Qiu Huaici had a smile on his face and muttered, "That's good, that's good!"
Throughout the afternoon,
Yun Shu'er had nothing to say, she was sticking to Qiu Huaici when she had nothing to do, Qiu Huaici naturally knew what Yun Shu'er was thinking, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and responded with a light smile, so the two didn't separate until night.
Yun Shu'er's three apprentices went to bed early after dinner.
Midnight.
Qiu Huaici's figure flashed, standing silently in front of Yun Shu'er's bed, he stared fixedly at Yun Shu'er, who was sleeping in the lamplight, paused, sighed softly, the white light flashed, and in an instant, his body was outside the Aiju Mountain.
Qiu Huaici stepped on the void, placed in the clouds, looked down on Aiju Mountain, stood for a while, then turned to leave, but after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighed, and said indifferently: "Since you are here, don't hide!"
A dragon roared,
A sturdy green dragon swam out from a cloud of white clouds behind Qiu Huaici, and on the back of the green dragon sat a pair of young boys and girls.
Sitting in front of the dragon was a girl, the girl smiled wryly, waved her hand at Qiu Huaici, and shouted happily: "Master, you are really amazing, we are so careful, or you are aware of it, do you have three ears?"
Qiu Huaici looked at Yun Shu'er and Nanjiao carefully, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't I let you come, why are you not obedient at all?"
Yun Shu'er grinned, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't blame Brother Nanjiao, it's me who is coming, he doesn't worry about me, he cries and makes trouble to come, saying that he wants to protect me, I can't do it, so I have to let him follow!"
Qiu Huaici waved his hand and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense! Go back, go back!"
Yun Shu'er jumped off the dragon's back and threw herself into Qiu Huaici's arms, wrapped her arms around Qiu Huaici's waist, put her face on Qiu Huaici's chest, twisted her body, and said in a coquettish voice: "Master, my good master, we stay in Aiju Mountain all day long, and we are about to die of irritability, don't you say that if a person wants to grow up alone, he must increase his knowledge and memory, be wise and reasonable, walk around, and look around! Now, it is a great time for us to study, you can take us to the castle tower to see the world, okay!"
Qiu Huaici still shook his head: "No, didn't the master say it, the master still has an important matter to deal with, and I don't have time to accompany you, if you have an accident outside, what should you do if you call the master!"
Yun Shu'er shook her head and shouted: "Master, we went to the castle tower, you are busy with yours, we will play our own games, and we will not cause you trouble; besides, how can we say that we are also the apprentices of the number one person in the world of spells in charge of the castle tower, who dares to bully us? Moreover, we still have acquaintances in the castle tower, such as Uncle Yuan, Uncle Beimo, Uncle Nan, Senior Brother Zheling, Senior Sister Zi Ling'er and others, I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them a little!"
Qiu Huaici hesitated, but still shook his head: "No, no!"
Yun Shu'er suddenly wowed, but she cried, and begged in the middle of her mouth: "Master, I want to follow you, it's not that I'm ignorant, but since Master took me as an apprentice, Master has been pitying and loving to me, we are inseparable, never separated, but now you are suddenly not by my side, I panic in my heart, I feel sad;
Qiu Huaici saw Yun Shu'er lying in his arms, listened to her crying, his heart was warm and soft, and he wiped the tears rolling down her face with pity, smiled indifferently, and couldn't help but agree: "Okay, okay, don't cry, Master is afraid of you, Master promised you, promise you!"
Yun Shu'er snorted, laughed, raised her face, pouted and kissed Qiu Huaici on the lips, hugged Qiu Huaici tightly, and said with a smile: "Master, you are so good, you are so good!"
Qiu Huaici's lips were kissed by Yun Shu'er, and she saw that there were tears hanging on her smile like a flower, it was really cute, her heart trembled, and she actually gave birth to a trace of strange emotions, and then, the thought flashed, and she quickly gathered her mind and laughed softly: "Why don't you cry, you can really pretend, and you cry tears, you are all fooled, you are so bad, Master trusts you so much, you even lie to Master, really!"
Yun Shu'er raised her face, looked at Qiu Huaici, grinned, and said coquettishly: "Master, I will lie to you, I will lie to you, what do you want, you beat me, beat me!"
Qiu Huaici couldn't stand it the most because Yun Shu'er was spoiled by him, which always made him happy and happy in his heart, at this moment, his heart trembled again, and he hurriedly turned his face away, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be angry and shouted: "Okay, okay, don't pour ecstasy soup into Master anymore, I really can't stand you!"
Yun Shu'er let go of Qiu Huaici and said with a smile: "Master, the southern suburbs are also going together, and I can't bear him!"
Qiu Huaici nodded and asked, "Bao'er, why did you ride Li'er's divine beast Qingqing here, did she let you follow!"
Yun Shu'er shook her head and smiled: "We want to come to you, but we can't fly in the air and can't catch up with you, so we stalked my senior sister and borrowed Ah Qing, Ah Qing flew very fast, why not, we will catch up with you in a while?"
Qiu Huaici said: "Bao'er, let's all go, leaving Li'er alone on the mountain, it's really too wronged for her, it's better to call your senior sister too, let's go to the castle tower together!"
Yun Shu'er smiled happily, and hurriedly clapped her hands in agreement: "Okay, good, good! Actually, I called my senior sister, but she didn't want to, she said she wanted to watch the house!"
Seeing that the senior sister was also coming, the southern suburbs nodded hurriedly, and their hearts bloomed.
Qiu Huaici instructed, "Southern suburbs, you ride A-Qing back to pick up your senior sister, and I and Bao'er are waiting for you here!"
Nanjiao nodded, happily rode A Qing back to Aiju Mountain, and picked up Guan Lian'er.
Yun Shu'er asked softly, "Master, you won't deceive your brother in the southern suburbs, will you!"
Qiu Huaici glared at Yun Shu'er, and scolded in a deep voice: "Fart! Master is an honest person, how can he be like you, a crazy girl, who speaks without a proper shape!"
Yun Shu'er pointed her finger at Qiu Huaici and said with a smile: "Ye yes yes, Master, you are a humble gentleman, you talk elegantly, how can you swear!"
Qiu Huaici was stunned for a moment, smiled, patted Yun Shu'er's head, and said resentfully: "The so-called: those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the master is with you, a little bastard who is full of dirty words, can it not be affected?"
Yun Shu'er ate and smiled.
The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Shangguan Li'er rushed back with Ah Qing in his arms around the southern suburbs.
Qiu Huaici said a word to Shangguan Li'er, and the four masters rushed to the sky tower.
