This middle-aged man suffered a sudden cerebral infarction caused by years of alcoholism. As usual, he was in a trance for a while, unable to accept the situation. Then, he was taken away by the underworld officials with tears in his eyes amid the cries of his family.
Before leaving, the underworld messenger said that he would visit Taicang Sect when he was free after finishing this busy period. After Wei Xi said goodbye to him, he took his new certificate and started looking for a shop that could make sculptures of gods with his two apprentices.
The first time a believer asked to take an idol home for worship, it was related to Taicang Sect’s future development. So Wei Xi was more serious and picked several stores before choosing one. After entering the store, the boss came up to him and asked, “What do you need?”
Wei Xi: “Decide on a few statues of gods.”
The boss understood immediately. In recent years, many small Taoist temples would order statues of gods and Buddhas from outside and then bring them back to their own temples for consecration before using them. So he very knowledgeably took out a booklet and said, “Which statue do you want to order? The Three Pure Ones? Wang Chongyang? The Seven Sons of Quanzhen? Zhenwu Emperor? We have been in this business for many years, and we have everything you want.”
Tuan Tuanyi went forward and flipped through the booklet given by the boss. He flipped through it from beginning to end but didn’t find the one dedicated to him: “Boss, why can’t I see the example picture of Dedao Tianzun?”
Boss: “…Dedao Tianzun?”
He immediately searched his memory and thought hard, but after thinking for a long time he still couldn’t remember where there was such a Heavenly Lord. Facing Tuan Tuanyi’s expression of “Oh my god, you don’t even know this”, he couldn’t help but look a little embarrassed.
Wei Xi looked around at the finished statues, not wanting to explain. Finally, Shuo Zong couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Don’t use the example diagram, just make it according to our requirements.”
The boss wiped his sweat as if he had been pardoned and agreed repeatedly. He had run the shop for so many years and had encountered customers with similar requests before, so he just did it.
So he quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen and said, “Then please tell me the appearance and movements of the statue you want, and I will draw it according to your requirements.”
Wei Xi was slightly startled when he heard his request: “Appearance? Actions?”
The boss said, “Your new statue will definitely be different from our existing old statues. It doesn’t have to be very different. You can just describe the special features of its appearance. How high is its nose? How high are its eyebrows? What shape are its lips? What kind of clothes is it wearing?”
Wei Xi stared at the paper and pen in his hand, stunned for a moment, and glanced at a group of three clear and different faces beside him, and suddenly said: “Lu Que, Tuan Tuanyi, we will come back another day.”
Tuan Tuanyi was excitedly imagining the majesty of his own master and was immediately dumbfounded when he heard that he was suddenly leaving.
Shuo Zong ignored his confusion, frowned and quickly followed, catching up with Wei Xi who was walking fast: “What’s wrong with you?”
Wei Xi looked at the busy road outside the store and didn’t say anything.
….
So in the evening, Shuo Zong found him in the Wei family’s yard as usual.
The vegetation in the yard had grown very lush. Wei Xi sat cross-legged in the vegetation that was about to submerge him, looking up at the moon with an expressionless face.
He exuded a sense of emptiness with nothing to do, as if he could sit there forever without moving if no one disturbed him.
Shuo Zong frowned at his performance, walked forward, and sat next to him as he did last time.
Wei Xi heard footsteps and turned around. The starry sky was reflected in his pupils and he met the black and white eyes of his second apprentice looking down at him.
No one spoke. The night air was chilly and the surrounding view was blocked by the tall vegetation. It seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.
Ever since Wei Xi was in the barrier, he often sat outside the house alone and looked at the sky. He didn’t know what was so good about the sky, but when he had nothing to do, there seemed to be no better way to pass the time than looking at the sky.
This seemed to be an instinct, so Wei Xi sometimes wondered that perhaps he also lived an idle life like this in the past when he could not remember it.
He had never thought that there was anything wrong with it, but now that his second apprentice was sitting next to him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
His second apprentice did not speak either, remaining calm as usual.
When Wei Xi picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth to chew, he turned around with a frown, raised his hand to pull the grass out of his mouth and threw it away.
Wei Xi was used to being controlled, so he didn’t resist. After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, “…I seem to have forgotten what my master looked like.”
His tone was calm, without much emotion: “I don’t remember how high his nose was, how high his eyebrows were. He was blind and couldn’t see anything. After he died, I carried him to the grave. He closed his eyes and I covered him with soil with my own hands. This is the only thing I remember about him.”
His second apprentice raised his hand and quietly smoothed his hair.
Wei Xi frowned and looked at him: “Today in the hospital, the family of the soul that was taken away by the underworld cried very sadly. But Que’er, I didn’t shed a single tear when my master died. Why am I not sad at all?”
His second apprentice whispered, “You are sad.”
Wei Xi thought about it and answered with certainty: “I’m not.”
His second apprentice sighed slowly, leaned over, and pressed his forehead against his, his eyes flashing with incomprehensible emotions: “Wei Xi.”
Wei Xi: “Hmm?”
The corners of his mouth felt hot when he was gently touched, and his second apprentice looked at him calmly: “You are.”
Wei Xi was silent for a while, then put his arms around the back of his neck and wanted to put his lips against his.
However his apprentice dodged back and asked him, “Are you hungry again?”
Hungry? Wei Xi was stunned by the question, and then he realized that he was trying to absorb the Yang energy of his apprentice again, which made him a little confused. At dinner, he ate the entire Wei family table as usual under Wei Tianyi’s gloomy face and ate a lot of snacks and fruits after dinner. Although he would feel a little hungry no matter how much he ate at the end of the year, the hunger at the moment did not seem to be strong enough to absorb Yang energy.
So why did he want to absorb Yang energy just now? It seemed that he wanted to absorb it naturally.
Wei Xi was a little confused, but it seemed that it was not a good idea to suck the yang energy of his apprentice when he was not very hungry.
After all, he was his apprentice. Wei Xi hesitated for a while but still shook his head honestly: “Not bad.”
The apprentice seemed stunned after receiving the answer.
Wei Xi looked at him and thought, forget it, he wasn’t that hungry anyway, and if his apprentice didn’t want to, then he wouldn’t have to suck.
However, just as he was about to leave, the back of his head was suddenly covered by a hand. The apprentice dodged and covered his head again with lips with scorching heat. The surging yang energy and lips and tongue wrapped around him unstoppably.
The scalding breath spread down, burning him so much pleasure that he couldn’t help but hum softly.
The suffocating emotion that had trapped him for the entire afternoon suddenly disappeared. He hesitated for less than two seconds and instinctively gave into his appetite.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There was no sound around except for the two of them kissing quietly. The faint sound of water between their lips and teeth echoed in their ears.
Maybe he was too absorbed in eating, so that when they finally separated, Wei Xi licked his lips and realized that he had unknowingly sat on his apprentice.
Something seemed to hit his leg, and he shook subconsciously. Before he could figure out what was going on, his apprentice suddenly grabbed his waist and forced him to stand up: “Okay, go back and rest.”
“…” Wei Xi looked hesitantly at his apprentice who seemed to be going through the same hardships he had gone through, “…Que’er, aren’t you feeling bad?”
The expressionless apprentice’s forehead seemed to have a vein jumping: “No.”
Wei Xi was full and followed attentively: “Master will help you.”
Shuo Zong: “…No, go back quickly.”
Seeing how stubborn he was, Wei Xi became even more worried. He thought his apprentice was unwilling to take his help, so he changed his suggestion: “If you don’t want the master to come, you can also call your senior brother.”
Shuo Zong: “……???”
After Wei Xi finished speaking, he saw his apprentice’s face turn dark for some reason. He was stunned and realized that he was actually inexplicably unhappy as well.
But it seems that the apprentice really doesn’t want anyone’s help at all, and he refused so thoroughly.
Seeing his apprentice open the door on his own, he actually felt a little uncomfortable, so he pulled up his pants and said, “Okay, then you should go to bed early.”
As a result, when he pulled up his pants, the apprentice’s action of closing the door suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes fell on him: “…Where are you going!”
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, the feeling was not as strong as last time. As his apprentice could bear it, Wei Xi planned to endure it as well. However, before going back to his room to sleep, he planned to find his eldest apprentice and ask him to find something to hang the certificate he received from the underworld messenger today together with the company’s business license.
Wei Xiyu answered very naturally: “I’ll go find your senior brother.”
Second apprentice:”…………”
After Wei Xi answered, he took a step forward and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his leg, his arm was grabbed.
Wei Xi was then inexplicably dragged into the room by his apprentice: “????”
Why is my second apprentice always so fickle?
