Wei Yuan saw that Wu Zhiqi had basically figured out how to use the phone.

He pointed to the power bank and explained:

"This device requires electricity to function. When this area turns red, it indicates that the battery is critically low and needs to be charged. You can control the Huai River to avoid this seal. This thing is considered a creation of the modern Daoist sect. It can still work effectively even underwater."

"During this time, use this to learn about the outside world."

"I'm afraid I have to go out for a while."

"When I come back, I'll come here to see you."

Wu Zhiqi nodded indifferently and waved his hand, indicating that Wei Yuan could do as he pleased.

Wei Yuan relied on his water control technique to return to Quan City through the waterway.

Wu Zhiqi, who was already accustomed to the tranquility of the Huai River over the past thousand years, didn't mind and just nodded. After closing his eyes for a while, he couldn't help but become curious. He opened the phone and used the water avoidance technique to divert the water flow around the phone. While trying out this new gadget, he drank alcohol.

The most popular topic on the internet now is the Huai River flowing into the sea.

And in response, the popularity of Great Sage Equal to Heaven, which was developed and perfected based on Wu Zhiqi, has been rising. Wu Zhiqi stumbled upon a self-made CG of Journey to the West, and he became interested in the majestic Monkey King wearing armor.

Such creations did not exist in his era.

Soon, he had finished watching the CG while drinking strong liquor.

He didn't feel satisfied.

Neither with the alcohol nor the visuals.

Wu Zhiqi tried and found a more extensive video file system, which he was familiar with. The previous CG was only three minutes long, but this one was several hundred times longer. Wu Zhiqi, who had become proficient in recognizing the characters of this era, saw that there was a lot of content after the Journey to the West. So this ancient water god, who was usually unruly, became interested and wanted to see what happened to the Monkey King afterward.

He had finished all the strong liquor.

Wu Zhiqi casually sat at the bottom of the water, without thinking, and opened something else that displayed black liquid. Using the magnifying effect of the water, he easily created a larger and more realistic image using the phone as the source.

Wu Zhiqi tilted his head back and took a sip of the drink.

He paused for a moment.

Then took another sip.

Licked his lips.

Tilted his head back.

Gulped.

In his era, alcohol was just in its infancy. The Tea Sage had not yet been born, and sweetness only existed in fruits. Wu Zhiqi lowered his head and looked at the drink, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Good wine."

He thought for a moment and rarely praised it.

Then, leaning against the stone pillar that locked him, he opened a new bottle and drank this 'wine' while seeing the three characters appearing on the screen: Journey to the West.

Wei Yuan returned to the museum.

After inquiring at the bookstore, he learned that Su Yu'er had directly returned to school. Obviously, she didn't want to face the bronze wine vessel from the Shang Dynasty in the short term. The flower shop across the street was still closed, apparently sealed and dormant. Even for a heavenly maiden, it would take time to recover.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Yuan had already resolved his current tasks.

It would be better to go to the Wei Ming Sect first and gain control over the imperial decree talisman on his hand as soon as possible.

Wei Yuan took out his phone, flipped through it, and found Xuan Yi's number. If he remembered correctly, Xuan Yi had returned to the Wei Ming Sect for recuperation after the incident involving the evil cultivation of livestock. It was also because of this that he could trust that Zhan Xiaoyu, who was an animated corpse, could live and study in the place of Daoist cultivation.

He called Xuan Yi and, after exchanging pleasantries, explained that he wanted to borrow some of the sect's scriptures.

On the other end of the phone, Xuan Yi seemed to have asked his senior, then replied:

"Master Wei, you have helped us a lot, so there's no problem with this matter. But when will you come to our sect's gate..."

Wei Yuan said, "Maybe I'll go today."

Xuan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, Master Wei, I have an earnest request."

Wei Yuan could hear the seriousness in Xuan Yi's tone and asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Xuan Yi said, "I don't know if Master Wei is aware of the book that the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao became famous for, the 'Tai Ping Yao Shu'?"

Wei Yuan was slightly stunned and recalled that when he was in the Qingqiu Kingdom, he had captured the evil path that spread demonic arts. According to the Qingqiu Kingdom, this evil path practiced the 'Tai Ping Yao Shu', but they didn't follow the orthodox path of the Tai Ping Sect. Instead, they took a shortcut, almost becoming an evil path.

Xuan Yi didn't know that the capture of the evil path was related to Wei Yuan, and he continued, "The incident involving Xiaoyu's father should also be related to the evil path of practicing the 'Tai Ping Yao Shu'. After we obtained their identities, the Zhengyi Alliance made several moves and successfully eliminated the Tai Ping Sect's base in the Jiangnan region."

"A few highly skilled evil cultivators were captured by the Five Thunder Method."

"But that could only be considered their main altar in the Jiangnan region. Outside of that place, there are still scattered evil cultivators. Originally, there was no way to capture all of them, but we found a special treasure beneath this main altar, which has great significance to the Tai Ping Sect. They won't give up."

"So several seniors plan to use a strategy to lure them out."

"They want to send some disciples who have enough cultivation to protect themselves to escort this treasure and lure them out."

"Exterminating demons and upholding the Dao is the path we disciples of the Zhengyi Alliance follow. All disciples have no regrets. However, I am still worried about those senior brothers and sisters... Master Wei, your cultivation is profound, but you look similar in age to us. The Tai Ping Sect definitely doesn't know about your cultivation."

"I dare to implore Master Wei to accompany those senior brothers and sisters in escorting this treasure to the capital. This way, those senior brothers and sisters will undoubtedly be safe."Xuan Yi finished speaking in one breath, feeling a bit uneasy.

He originally didn't plan to trouble Wei Yuan, but since the latter happened to be coming, he had this intention.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and agreed, saying, "Alright, no problem."

Xuan Yi let out a long breath and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior."

They talked for a while and agreed on when they would arrive at the mountain gate before ending the call.

Wei Yuan agreed to Xuan Yi's request for two reasons. First, he had some grievances to settle with these evil cultivators. Second, he was currently lacking in merits, and most importantly, he wanted to see the scriptures of the Wei Ming Sect as a favor to protect their disciples, repaying a favor.

Wei Yuan looked at the sword on the wall and took out a qin case.

He placed the Eight-Faced Han Sword on the top layer and put Zhang Daoling's sword in the lower layer. With the broken sword at his waist and the powerful firearm hidden in a concealed holster, he asked if Water Ghost would accompany him. Unexpectedly, Water Ghost refused without hesitation.

It licked its paws and said, "I also have important matters to attend to."

"I need to settle some grievances."

Although Wei Yuan didn't understand what grievances this lazy beast had, he had no choice but to embark on the journey alone. Although the Wei Ming Sect was a bit far away, with modern technology and convenient high-speed trains, it wouldn't take much time to travel from Quan City.

After Wei Yuan left, the black cat immediately stopped licking its paws.

It quickly ran through the streets of Quan City.

Using a concealment spell, the black cat infiltrated an internet cafe. There was a small jade talisman on its neck, given to it by Zhang Ruosu. When the black cat caused losses to mortals, Zhang Ruosu would be notified, and the disciples of the Celestial Master's Palace would reluctantly clean up after this beast that had been in the Celestial Master's Palace for five hundred years.

Of course, the black cat didn't know about this.

It was just extremely excited, tapping its paws on the power button.

Game, start!

Account, log in!

Search, friends!

Apply, solo!

Museum.

The lock on the box opened, accompanied by the sound of the Qi Family Army Soul trimming the Soul-Nurturing Wood.

The red embroidered shoes suddenly rose from the coffin and walked lightly towards the computer. Water Ghost and the Qi Family Army Soul gathered around, and the painter who died from consuming pesticides also joined in the fun. The two paper dolls suddenly appeared with paper musical instruments, standing next to the computer and cheerfully playing them, constantly cheering on.

Only the black iron scissors couldn't come out, making a cracking sound as if cursing.

The Bronze Duke of the Merchant King stared dumbfounded at the museum that had turned into chaos after the curator left.

It was at a loss for words.

Seeing the pair of nimble red embroidered shoes change direction, one shoe lightly touched the ground while the other slightly lifted up. In a trance, it seemed to see a petite and elegant young girl, holding the corner of her skirt with both hands, giving a slight bow, and then these shoes leaped onto the keyboard.

A change from the previous elegance.

Like a powerful dancer.

Lightly spraying out "greeting words" that shocked the antique objects one after another.

Water Ghost slammed the table and said with enthusiasm, "Defeat them!"

...

When the sun was setting, Wei Yuan arrived at the Wei Ming Sect.

He saw Zhang Xiaoyu waiting quietly in front of the mountain gate. The little girl had changed into loose Daoist robes and tied her hair into a bun. Because of the Soul-Nurturing Wood, she looked like an ordinary little Daoist. Beside her was Xuan Yi dressed as a Daoist, and Zhao Yi, who he had seen before, was also there.

However, Zhao Yi was not dressed as a Daoist, but in modern attire, wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Zhao Yi and Xuan Yi took the initiative to greet him.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Wei Yuan and said, "Uncle Wei..."

Wei Yuan saw that the sadness on her face had disappeared and smiled, reaching out to rub the little girl's head. "I've come to see you. Have you been good during this time, Xiaoyu?"

"These things were given to you by those guys in the museum."

He smiled and lifted the backpack in his hand. Inside were Happy Water, fallen leaves of the Soul-Nurturing Wood, and a painting that was put together by the ghosts in the museum. Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened slightly, a smile appeared on her face, she hugged the backpack to her chest, and then held Wei Yuan's hand. Wei Yuan slowed down his pace and walked with Zhang Xiaoyu, listening to the little girl talk about her experiences in the sect during this time.

It wasn't until it was time for the evening class at the sect that Zhang Xiaoyu reluctantly left.

Wei Yuan watched Zhang Xiaoyu sitting among a group of little Daoists, looking no different from an ordinary child. He sighed softly and looked at Xuan Yi and Zhao Yi beside him, saying with emotion, "Thank you both for taking care of Xiaoyu here."

"Senior is too polite. It's what we should do."

"How is she doing here?"

Xuan Yi smiled and replied, "Xiaoyu has a good personality. Even though her master didn't want her to come before, he can't find fault with her now. He dotes on her the most, buying her snacks while keeping a stern face towards us on ordinary days."

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

"She gets along well with her peers, except for one thing."

Wei Yuan was surprised. "Did she have a conflict with her fellow disciples?"

Xuan Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. "No, it's not that."

"There's a little guy from the Maoshan Sect who came to exchange cultivation techniques at the Wei Ming Sect."

"With your Soul-Nurturing Wood token, others can't tell that Xiaoyu is different, but that little guy from the Maoshan Sect has a deep understanding of his family's knowledge. He somehow noticed something wrong with Xiaoyu and treated her as a living corpse. He has been thinking about sticking a talisman on Xiaoyu and sealing her in a coffin for burial."

"But Xiaoyu learned a hand-to-hand combat sword technique from you, Senior. That little girl from the Maoshan Sect didn't gain any advantage."Wei Yuan was about to question when he had ever taught Little Fish swordsmanship, when he suddenly remembered that the little one had spent a long time in the museum. During his cultivation, it was the Qi family's army of souls who had been looking after her. It seemed that during that time, the ghosts in the museum had taught her something.

They were probably worried that Little Fish would be bullied on the mountain.

Wei Yuan found it somewhat amusing.

However, with the Soul Nurturing Wood Plaque and the connection with Xuan Yi, he could rest assured about Little Fish's safety in the Wei Ming Sect.

Xuan Yi was already a disciple who had been given the talisman.

After the evening class ended, Little Fish was the first to run out. When she saw that Wei Yuan was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a little girl who looked somewhat arrogant and was dressed in a Taoist robe stood up to look for Little Fish. When she saw Wei Yuan, she was slightly taken aback, then strode over.

She looked up at Wei Yuan and asked, "Are you Little Fish's... guardian?"

She chose a term that was unlikely to be mistaken, then put her hands on her hips, narrowed her eyes, and said:

"Don't you know the difference between life and death..."

Wei Yuan casually took out a snack and handed it over: "I know, do you want a snack?"

"Ah, thank you."

The little girl instinctively took it, smiled and thanked him, then froze, angrily waved her hand, and said:

"No, it's not about snacks, I mean, you should know that the peace of the deceased is very important, you can't..."

Wei Yuan nodded again, handed over a bottle of Happy Water, and politely said:

"Thank you for being friends with my Little Fish."

"When I'm not by her side, I'll have to rely on friends like you."

"No, no, no, you're too kind..."

The little Taoist, who was obviously from a strict family, instinctively returned the courtesy.

Then she froze.

Little Fish secretly stuck her tongue out at her.

The little Taoist from Maoshan Sect widened her eyes, furious. In the end, she wanted to throw away the snacks and Happy Water, leave a harsh word and walk away. But she couldn't bear to do it. After all, which child could resist Happy Water? She could only leave a word for Little Fish to wait, clutching the snacks and Happy Water, and ran off in a flurry.

Wei Yuan chuckled, "Still a child."

"She can see Little Fish's situation, it seems she has high talent."

Xuan Yi said, "Yes, she's a child from the Lin family of the Maoshan Sect, and is highly expected."

"Senior Wei, the evening class has ended, please follow me..."

He was led by Xuan Yi to pay a ceremonial visit to the seniors of the Wei Ming Sect, which was considered a courtesy. Then they were led by Xuan Yi to the place where the Taoist scriptures were kept. Xuan Yi led the way in front, apologizing, "Senior, in the Taoist scriptures, there are the fundamental methods of our Wei Ming Sect and Zheng Yi Dao, so we can only open some of the altars for conducting rituals and basic methods to you..."

Wei Yuan nodded, "That's fine."

Zhao Yi also knew the concerns of his masters, but they had old ties with Wei Yuan, which made the situation a bit awkward. He could only complain deliberately, "It's those old guys who are too stingy. They only open the altars for conducting rituals because you don't have our Zheng Yi Dao's talisman, right? Even if you look at it, it's useless. I'm considered a disciple of the Wei Ming Sect, but I haven't been given the talisman, so those altars are useless to me. Even if I look at them, it's a waste..."

His voice suddenly paused.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, his mouth twitched, and he looked at Wei Yuan next to him, saying:

"Senior, you don't have a talisman, do you?"

Wei Yuan didn't change his actions, turned his head and smiled:

"A talisman?"

"What are you talking about, of course I don't."

Zhao Yi: "............"

Xuan Yi: "............"
