What's the meaning?
It's hard to tell from the words alone.
This is Xiaoyaozi's habit. Although sometimes he seems to be frank and forthright, it would be a big mistake to judge others based on this.
If something really important happens, Xiaoyaozi often resorts to this method of playing riddles.
There are only a few direct disciples of those who are familiar with Xiaoyaozi's character, and Yutong is one of them.
New Lingtai realm monks such as Qiuyan Fairy, Yan Yun, Yu Fan, Ibeka, etc., although they also call Xiaoyaozi their masters, they are actually only registered disciples.
Xiaoyaozi taught the four of them a set of exercises for Lingtai realm monks. When he had time, he would teach the disciples a few words, but most of the time he would ignore them. There was a huge difference between him and his direct disciples.
However, Yutong never told anyone about his true apprenticeship. He belonged to the Zhanshi Hall and was Xiaoyaozi's assistant in the Zhanshi Hall.
Yunwu Villa is related to the resources and business of Xiaoyao Peak. Xiaoyaozi naturally has to appoint his most trustworthy, reliable and easy-to-use disciple to take charge here.
Yutong's eyes flickered, he looked at the four words on the secret letter and was silent for a long time, then exhaled a long breath from his lungs.
"Thank you Master... It's a pity... Alas..." After saying that, he placed a corner of the secret letter on the lamp flame, and the letter turned into ashes and dissipated.
On a dense path in the villa, Fairy Qiuyan and Yan Yun, led by a disciple, were walking towards the blessed place specially opened for them in the villa.
At the moment when the secret letter turned into ashes, Yan Yun glanced in the direction of the hall where Yutong was, intentionally or unintentionally.
"What's wrong?" Fairy Qiuyan asked as her way forward was blocked.
"The scenery here is quite unique..." Yan Yun smiled lightly.
"Huh? I think the humidity here is too heavy and it's sticky everywhere, so it's not comfortable." Fairy Qiuyan replied.
"What the senior sister said is true."
Yan Yungang also said that he was looking at the scenery, and immediately agreed with Fairy Qiuyan's opinion, which made her feel that he was perfunctory with her, so she said no more.
There is a stream like a waterfall, flowing slowly along the side of the stone steps.
The two walked through the low bamboo forest, and the blessed land with two cave entrances about ten feet apart appeared in front of them.
"Because this is a newly opened cave, it will inevitably have a bit of an earthy smell. I hope you two seniors won't be offended."
"Senior Yutong ordered that the two seniors handle the matter of setting restrictions on their own, and there will be no substitute cooks in the house."
This leading disciple is actually an alert person. He speaks in a low voice and is very cautious.
"Very good, thank you for your work." After Yan Yun finished speaking, he took out two talismans and handed them over.
The disciple got two talismans for summoning blood toads for free, bowed to Yan Yun, and retreated happily.
"By the way, collect the information about the matters that need to be dealt with in the villa, local customs, enemy information, etc. and send them all together." Yan Yun asked.
"yes!"
Everywhere he goes, he must collect all kinds of local intelligence. This is an essential quality that Yan Yun has developed as a former general.
Xiaoyaozi ordered him and Fairy Qiuyan to come here over a thousand miles away. Of course, they were not just tourists. What's more, the person in charge of this place, Yutong, looked half-dead, which showed that the opponent they were about to face was extraordinary.
"There are two blessed places. Please choose one first, senior sister." Yan Yun said.
Fairy Qiuyan nodded briefly and walked to the cave on the right.
But behind her, the sound of footsteps was still there, and when she turned around, it was Yan Yun who had followed.
Fairy Qiuyan frowned and asked, "Why is junior brother here too?"
"Hey... I plan to make a cup of fragrant tea at Senior Sister's place." Yan Yun said seriously, sitting down at the table in the hall, and then, like a magic trick, he took out a simple clay pot and two pottery cups. Then stretch out a finger and point a little water at the outside of the eaves.
The water droplets seemed to be summoned, and thousands of crystal beads flew into the forest of bird heads, sinking into the copper pot.
Flames suddenly ignited in Yan Yun's palm. After a while, the lid of the pot jumped and the water boiled.
He opened the lid of the pot, took out a small amount of spiritual tea from a bamboo tube and put it into the pot. After closing the lid and shaking it, he sat still.
"Senior sister, wait a moment. To drink tea, you have to use a clay pot to make the tea rich in flavor." Yan Yun said seriously like a tea connoisseur.
His behavior was certainly not familiar to Fairy Qiuyan, so she thought he was strange.
She tilted her head and rolled her eyes, showing a somewhat rare charm.
"Junior brother, if you want this cave, I will give it to you." Fairy Qiuyan said.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Yan Yun shook his head and pointed to the opposite side, "Please sit down, let's have tea."
As he said this, he held the handle of the pot and poured half a cup of tea into each of the two bamboo tubes.
"Hmm...it smells very good..." Fairy Qiuyan smiled brightly, sat down opposite Yanyun, and reached out to hold the cup.
"Sister, wait a minute, the first cup of tea is going to be poured out!"
Yan Yun's words were a little harsh, and he suddenly moved his hand, got ahead of her, and poured the tea in the cup on the ground.
"Junior brother, what a waste!"
"Good tea always requires patience to taste the true taste. How can the taste be ruined because of impatience?"
Yan Yun smiled and poured another cup of hot tea into the cup.
This time, Fairy Qiuyan didn't dare to rush to hold the cup. She just stared at him blankly. If nothing else, she thought he was very strange!
"Drink tea!" Yan Yun shrugged, "Senior sister, you won't think that I will harm you, right?"
"I'm sorry you don't know either." Fairy Qiuyan felt relieved and took a sip from the cup. The fragrance was in her mouth and she couldn't help but nod her head.
Unknowingly, Yan Yun sat in Fairy Qiuyan's Cave for half an hour, first sipping tea, and then talking about the past events of Dayu King's City, like a talkative man.
Fairy Qiuyan has really never seen the splendor of the colorful world in the secular world, but she still enjoys it.
It wasn't until the previous leading disciple came here with a thick stack of information that Yan Yun stopped chatting and his words suddenly became concise.
"If anything happens in the future, you don't need to report it to me. You can just tell Fairy Qiuyan. I will know about it. Please step back."
So, the disciple hurriedly retreated.
"What restrictions does Senior Sister plan to impose on her cave?" Yan Yun suddenly asked.
"Junior brother..." Fairy Qiuyan didn't understand. Since it was a ban, how could it make sense to tell others?
"Let me lay one for Senior Sister." After Yan Yun finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and the eight formation flags flew to the eight corners of the cave.
This formation is called the "Bafang Bronze Wall Formation". It can withstand attacks from magic weapons of upper and lower levels, and can also play a role in shielding spiritual consciousness, detection, and visual inspection. It is worth three hundred spiritual stones.
"There is still a small change!" Yan Yun fired a few spells, and a circle of light rose from the underground of the cave and gathered at the top.
At this point, the Bafang Copper Wall Array should have been activated, but unexpectedly, just when the barrier opened, another funnel-shaped transparent light curtain fell from the top of the aperture, and immediately separated from the top, forming an independent light ball. In a flash, the entire situation outside the cave was imprinted on the surface of the light ball.
On the sphere, the disciple who had just sent the information was walking across the path towards Yutong's house.
"This..." Fairy Qiuyan was stunned, shocked by the function of this light ball, "Junior brother... or the formation master?"
"I have learned a little bit. As for this ball of light, it comes from the art of air-condensing mirrors taught by a... a close friend in the past. Only by integrating this art with the formation can we achieve the current results." Yan Yun looked at the light. ball, with a far-reaching gaze, then returned to normal.
"Sister, please hold the Dharma plate. If you are visited by others, it is best to hide the light ball." Yan Yun handed an octagonal Dharma plate to Fairy Qiuyan and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"These information..." Fairy Qiuyan reminded.
"Senior sister, look first." The moment Yan Yun was about to break out of the formation with one foot, he suddenly whispered, "Don't go looking for senior brother Yutong alone..."
"What?" Fairy Qiuyan heard what Yan Yun said, but subconsciously felt that his words were abnormal.
Yan Yun did not answer, but gave her a meaningful look and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Fairy Qiuyan raised her head again, and above the ball of light, Yan Yun's back was heading towards the cave on the left.
