Whether it is the years of practice in Sanmang Mountain or the time spent in Wuhenmo.
Jiang Yun never gave up on wood carving.
Every time he carves, he will think of the happiness of the Mo family and the laughter of his mother when she taught him. Everything is like a dream, back to the past.
At the same time, only when he was carving could he truly be undistracted. For some reason, he always felt that the works he carved were alive. The success of every wood or stone sculpture gave him an indescribable sense of satisfaction. It's as if I have created each life with my own hands, and each life has its own story, its own life.
At this time, the carving knife was spinning in his hand, and sawdust was flying.
Because the soul is condensed into a golden elixir, Jiang Yun's skills are more accurate and the speed is correspondingly faster.
A statue of a lady soon took shape.
Without stopping, Jiang Yun picked up the stone that was on the side. The carving knife was attached with spiritual energy. When he was carving again, a handsome scholar suddenly appeared in front of him.
A man and a woman are handsome and beautiful when they are apart, but together they have a strange look.
Although the young man carved in stone is still bookish, he is more masculine and perseverant. The statue of a lady looked even more soft and beautiful in front of her. The originally lonely and beautiful lady became shy when placed next to the young scholar.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
Mr. Wan expressed his sincere admiration. One wood carving and one stone carving were enough to astound everyone, but when put together, they even added to the impression!
Taken apart, they are two works of art, but when put together, you can see a romantic love story.
Liu Yiyi, Zhou Hongyun, and the guards behind him were all dumbfounded. Even Liu Yiyi didn't know when Jiang Yun had such skills. She had been watching Jiang Yun's carvings all day long and didn't notice it?
"It's worth it."
Mr. Wan was the first to come to his senses and applauded sincerely, "Brother, as soon as I sell these two statues, let alone buy a maid, I think it's worth it even if I give you the girl from my Yichun courtyard for free!"
"Master Wan, you've given me the reward." Jiang Yun's mouth twitched.
The girl from Yichunyuan gave it to me for free?
When he heard this, he knew that Liu Yiyi was staring at him and Master Wan with a look of evil and vigilance on his face without looking back.
"This is Miss Hongyun's contract of betrayal." Mr. Wan took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun took a look and saw that it was indeed Zhou Hongyun's contract of betrayal.
"Hong Yun, you will be following Master Xiao Jiang from today on."
After Master Wan finished speaking, he hugged the two statues himself. His subordinates tried to help but were stopped by him.
"This thing is very expensive. What should you do if you accidentally drop it?"
After that, he said goodbye to Jiang Yun with a smile, "Little Master Jiang, how long have you been back this time? It seems that your house has been messy just after you came back. Do you want to have a few drinks at my house tonight?"
"Thank you Master Wan for your kindness. I will be back for a short time this time. Maybe Tu Yunju will have to close the door again in a few days."
Jiang Yun knew that the other party was testing the time for his return, but there was nothing to hide, "As for eating, forget it, my junior sister and I will meet up to go out to the night market tonight, please forgive me!"
"Haha, young people are sentimental."
Mr. Wan said goodbye, his face full of love for the two carvings, and he was unwilling to let go until he got to the car.
The carriage sets off.
It wasn't until the carriage turned a corner that he calmly handed the two stone sculptures to his personal guards, the fondness in his eyes slowly fading away.
Tu Yun was inside, Jiang Yun and Liu Yiyi looked at Zhou Hongyun in front of them.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
"Miss Zhou..." Liu Yiyi finally spoke. It would be better for her to come forward when dealing with girls, "Didn't you go to White Bird Sword Pavilion to practice? Why..."
Why it was sold into the hands of Mr. Wan is something that cannot be said.
Zhou Hongyun still lowered his head and was unwilling to speak.
Looking at these sisters with a bit of toothache, Jiang Yun is two heads tall, so he cannot forcefully question her, let alone act like a maid.
"We can't keep you here. We'll be leaving in two days." Jiang Yun stepped forward with five more gold cakes in his hand, and handed them over together with the deed of betrayal he had just obtained. "You can take the money." Go ahead, the contract of betrayal is now in your own hands, no one can force you, no matter what happened before, you can go home."
A gentle word directly broke Zhou Hongyun's guard.
The originally trembling shoulders couldn't help but twitch, and a suppressed and low whine came from the corner of her mouth. It can be heard that this girl has encountered many bad things during this time, otherwise she would not cry so hard.
Jiang Yun looked at each other, helplessly waiting for her to finish crying.
After almost crying for a cup of tea, Zhou Hongyun slowly calmed down, and the suppressed things in his heart were almost released.
"thank you all."
It can be seen that this girl has not been seen for more than a year, and her edges have been smoothed by the world. She has long lost the arrogant, unruly and willful attitude she once had. She actually said thank you when she opened her mouth.
Liu Yiyi stepped forward and gently wiped the tears and snot from the corners of her eyes with paper.
"Is it convenient to tell you what happened now? If it's not convenient, we will take you home." Jiang Yun still wanted to see what happened and whether he could help this woman solve her trouble. If she could be sold, there must be a seller. , what is the seller's worries and complaints about selling her.
"Back then, after I separated from you, I went to join the White Bird Sword Pavilion..."
After calming down, Zhou Hongyun knew that the two boys and girls in front of him who were probably younger than him were unusual. He had no way to deal with Master Wan, and they could easily replace him with two sculptures.
So he didn't rush back, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted the two of them to help him.
Because she understood that it would be difficult for her to live a stable life after she returned. It would be difficult for a female cultivator in the Soul Realm with no power or background to truly control her own destiny.
"Oh, by the way, actually when you found me, I wasn't as mean and slutty as you saw. I don't know if you believe it or not, but my mind seemed to be affected by something, and then I fell madly in love with him."
She suddenly defended herself and said, "Although I like scholars, I only travel with them and never make peace with them."
"But after I met that 'young master' that day, I was inexplicably attracted to him. Then I always felt that it was not me who was influenced by him, and then I couldn't help but have a relationship with him. Now that I think about it, I'm scared. Including being rude to you, I didn’t mean to snub you like this.”
Jiang Yun and Liu Yiyi looked at each other, regardless of whether the woman liked the scholar's words or not.
When they went to Zhou Shihao's home, Zhou Hongyun's attitude was indeed not like a normal person's attitude towards his brother's friends, and he was even indifferent to his brother's death. But the strange thing is that they paid special attention at that time and found no traces of demon cultivators on Zhou Hongyun, nor did they find that Zhou Hongyun was being controlled.
Is it possible that there are other means?
"Did anything special happen to you when you met him? Or were you drugged when you ate or drank? Or did he inadvertently influence you in some way when you were talking to him."
Facing the two people's inquiries, Zhou Hongyun nodded bluntly, "It's a sword!"
"sword?"
The two were slightly surprised and didn't understand why she was so sure.
"There was something wrong with that man's sword. I only found out about it when I went to the White Bird Sword Pavilion." Zhou Hongyun lost all his previous grievances when he spoke. He could even clearly feel the anger in her words, especially when he mentioned the young master. Gritting one's teeth is an understatement.
"After arriving at the White Bird Sword Pavilion, I discovered that it was completely different from the rumored holy land for female sword cultivators."
"The 'young master' and his men control the entire White Bird Sword Pavilion, and all the women are abused or manipulated by them."
"What?" Jiang Yun and the two were shocked.
That's the White Bird Sword Pavilion!
Jiang Yun still remembers the first time he saw the White Bird Sword Pavilion recruiting new disciples in Wushen City, the elegant posture of the sword flying on the river in the city, and behind such a fairy-like appearance, there was actually such a rotten person. Sect?
By the way, when I was in the ruins of Lian'an Cave Mansion, I heard from Qinghao that the White Bird Sword Pavilion existed in name only and had been secretly sold by the leader to a sect called Qingwu Sword Sect.
Everything should be related to the Qingwu Sword Sect.
"The head of their sect and the great elders don't care about them? Where are the elders?" Liu Yiyi asked in shock.
"The master just doesn't care." Zhou Hongyun shook his head and sneered, "Their master is the biggest cancer. I once heard the 'young master' call the master grandma. I must have become one of his grandfather's harems."
Shock!
Jiang Yun and Jiang Yun had no other thoughts besides being shocked. The reason why the leader took the lead in protecting this 'young master' was that the leader himself had become someone else's woman. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Weird!
"After I went there, I was first arranged by the 'young master' to serve me by my side for a few days."
Zhou Hongyun gritted his silver teeth and said quickly, "Then a newcomer came, and he arranged for me to go out at will. It was at this time that I met the great elder."
"The great elder of White Bird Sword Pavilion and several other elders have not been controlled yet. They seem to have special methods to keep themselves and their disciples awake."
"I was successfully awakened by her and joined the great elder's command. I was assigned to the outer sect elder Qinghao's sect."
"Wait a minute, what did you say her name was?" Why did Jiang Yun hear this name so familiar? Qing Hao, wasn't she the one he met in Lian'an Cave Mansion? At that time, I was still wondering how the elder of White Bird Sword Pavilion could get into such a bad situation.
"It's Qinghao." Zhou Hongyun looked at him curiously. Why did he feel like he knew this person again?
"It's your fault, I'm sorry." Jiang Yun raised his hand to signal her to continue. On the other side, Liu Yiyi obviously thought of this person, and her expression also changed.
Zhou Hongyun spoke again strangely, "I regained consciousness at that time. When I learned that I had been treated so badly, I felt that life was worse than death. Anyway, I had no feelings for White Bird Sword Pavilion, so I might as well find a chance to escape. But He Qinghao watched too closely and never had a chance. .”
"More than two months ago, civil strife broke out within the sect."
"The leader and some foreign swordsmanship masters suddenly took action and carried out a thunderous sweep against the great elder and other elders. However, the great elder and the others were prepared early and escaped with us."
"After escaping, all of us female cultivators in the acquired realm were taken into the city."
"Elder Qinghao has established an escort bureau. On the surface, it is for casual cultivators. In fact, it is to give us disciples of the White Bird Sword Pavilion a shelter. However, she is very good to the monks at the foundation establishment level, but she is very good towards the monks below the foundation establishment level. They were harsh and even ended up selling us at high prices in exchange for property for the sake of money.”
"That's how I was. I was sold to Mr. Wan a month ago."
After telling her story in one breath, Zhou Hongyun seemed to finally become free and easy. There were so many things accumulated in her heart that were torturing her soul every night. Now that I have finally found someone to talk to, it feels really good to say it out!
The feeling of freedom turns out to be so refreshing.
He never wanted to experience such a life again in his life. Zhou Hongyun had already planned to live a stable life, and was no longer willing to put himself in danger for a moment of free and easy willfulness.
After feeling free and easy, she said slightly worriedly.
"Thank you for rescuing me, but even if I go home, once Elder Qinghao and the others find out, they will still find a way to get me back to serve. Please help me!"
