"Who's there!"
Wei Jiao walked forward in surprise. She lifted the curtain and saw no one outside. The closest guards were ten steps away and no one was near the carriage. She looked left and right but did not see anyone. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard a voice coming from the left. "Here, here."
She looked towards the source of the voice and was surprised to find a little person about the length of a finger standing on her shoulder. He had a smiling face, red lips, and white teeth. He was wearing an embroidered robe and a jade belt. He looked very delicate. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked curiously, "Where did this little person come from?"
Wei Wan revealed a vigilant expression and said, "Who are you? Why are you in our carriage for no reason? "
Although they were young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, they were used to seeing strange people and strange things. Although this little person's body didn't look big, from his voice and appearance, it was clearly a young man. She couldn't help but be on guard.
The little person took out a folding fan from his sleeve and opened it. He said in a leisurely manner, "My name is Jieyou. Do the two ladies have any worries in your hearts? As long as you say it out loud, I will be able to resolve your worries. "
Wei Jiao found it interesting and secretly reached out to catch him.
The little person sighed and said, "Wait, wait." He jumped and avoided being caught. He landed on the table at the side.
Wei Wan felt that this person was not simple. She pulled Wei Jiao two steps back and stared at him. "What do you want?"
The little person said innocently, "Why are you asking me? If the two of you didn't call for me, why would I come here?"
Wei Jiao put her hands behind her back and bent down to look at him. When she got a little closer, she suddenly stretched out a finger to point at him. However, the little person dodged it and shook his head at her. Wei Jiao pursed her lips and said, "Alright, you said you can resolve people's worries. Then tell me, what are your abilities?"
The little person jumped onto the brush stand and sat down. He waved his folding fan and said while shaking his head, "I can go up to the sky and pluck the stars. I can also go down to the sea and catch the whales. I can determine good and bad luck and can hear sounds from thousands of miles away. I have all kinds of celestial methods and there is no way to describe them in detail here."
Wei Jiao lightly snorted and said, "I don't believe it." Her bright eyes turned as she said, "Why don't you show us your skills?"
The little man closed his fan and said, "Sure." He pointed the fan handle at the table and said, "Please take a look at this incense burner."
The object he was pointing at was a gold-copper and silver-threaded Cloud Child Cauldron. Its shape was exquisite, and its surface was inlaid with silver. There were delicate and vivid patterns of flowers, birds, fishes, and insects. Sandalwood smoke curled out, and when it reached three feet, there was a ring that wrapped around it, showing the appearance of a cloud ganoderma. It was a rare treasure, and it was their accompanying gift to Zhaoyuan this time.
The Wei sisters saw that a sparrow on top of the incense burner suddenly came to life after the little person muttered a few words. It jumped down from above and chirped twice on the table. Then, it broke through the curtains and flapped its wings to fly away.
Wei Jiao was surprised at first. Then, she looked at the sparrow flying into the distant sky with a look of yearning and envy on her face.
The little person puffed out his chest and said proudly, "What do you think?"
Wei Jiao came back to her senses and asked, "With your abilities, can you teach us sisters?"
"About this …" The little person laughed and said, "It's not impossible. If the two of you are willing to go with me, I can naturally teach you these small techniques."
Wei Jiao was about to speak, but Wei Wan didn't wait for her to finish and pulled her back a little. She took a few steps back and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't believe his words. This person's origin is unknown, how can you just follow him? "
Wei Jiao giggled and said in a low voice, "I didn't believe him, I just watched for fun. If we can learn this little person's skills, no one will be able to keep an eye on us. Sister, are you not tempted? "
Wei Wan shook her head and said firmly, "Unorthodox Dao techniques are not the right path, so it's fine if we don't learn them. Once we leave this place, it's still the wilderness, and there's no place for us to stay. Moreover, aunt once said that the human heart is more sinister than the world. This person came looking for us for no reason, but he still refuses to tell us his origin. He most likely has a purpose, so we can't be fooled. "
Wei Jiao secretly laughed at her sister for being too timid, but it wasn't that she didn't argue. She blinked and said, "Sister, don't be anxious. Let little sister try him again." She walked forward again and said, "You little person, you said you would bring me out, but there are so many guards outside, how can we let them go?"
The little person said proudly, "Since I can come in, I can also go out. Don't the two of you want to learn my skills?" He took out a big bowl from his sleeve and placed it in front of the two of them. The bowl was filled with water, and it looked extremely clear. There was also a dark green tea leaf floating in the air.
"As long as the two of you drink this spiritual tea, you can become the same size as me." He pursed his lips and whistled again. The bird that had flown out Just Now flew back.
He pointed with his folding fan proudly, "Later, I will enlighten a few more birds from this furnace. Then, I can ride on the birds and fly away. From then on, I will be free."
Wei Jiao looked at the bird that had been called back. She didn't know why, but she was a little unhappy. She said in a low voice, "So, you also don't feel free."
At this time, Wei Wan sat back down and said calmly, "If sire does this, I'm afraid we still won't be able to get out."
The little person was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Wei Wan said, "Sire has the ability to come in, but if I go out, there is a Victory Bird standing on the roof of the carriage. The moment we leave the carriage, it will let out a cry."
The little person said, "That's easy." He then took out two hand-scissors made of paper. With a shake of his hand, they fell to the ground and transformed into two people who looked just like the Wei sisters. Their expressions were a little stiff, but if one didn't look at them closely, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws.
At this time, Wei Wan said in a low voice, "Sister, this person came prepared. He is clearly coming for us two sisters."
Wei Jiao also nodded.
Seeing the two of them hesitating, the little person said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "What, could it be that the two of you are unwilling?
Wei Jiao tilted her head and thought for a while. She asked, "If I drink this water, can I change back?"
The little person laughed and said, "Of course I can. But what's wrong with being a little person?" He took out a flower seed from his pocket and said, "Look at this seed. I only need to eat one and it's equivalent to a meal. An ordinary fruit can provide me with a month's worth of food. The ferocious birds and beasts in the wilderness look down on me because I'm small. Not only do I not need to work hard for a living, there are also no external enemies to disturb me. It's much more free and unfettered than you people struggling in the human world."
Wei Jiao said, "Allow me to discuss this with sister."
The little person said, "Then I'll wait."
Wei Jiao said softly, "Sister, this person is lying. What do you think?"
Wei Wan said, "No matter what, that water definitely can't be drunk."
Wei Jiao said, "I'm afraid that if we don't go with him now, he has a way to capture us …"
Wei Wan said, "I'll use words to calm him down. Sister, you go pull the golden bell and let the guards deal with this person."
The little person sighed and said, "Originally, if you drank this water, we could still talk nicely. Why must I use force? What a spoiler. "
He waved his folding fan and a gust of black wind came out. The two sisters swayed and fell on the bed. He then made a hand sign and two bowls of water flew up. They turned into smoke and entered their ears. Soon after, the two of them became the same size as him. With a stomp of their feet, white smoke rose and carried the three of them away.
The moment he went out, there was a loud and clear bird's cry coming from the top of the carriage. The guards were immediately alerted and gathered around.
The little person was also nervous. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He grabbed a handful of golden sand and threw it outside. In a split second, it turned into endless sand and blocked everyone's sight. He took the opportunity to escape.
The Fu Kingdom was alone in the wilderness. The mutant magicians in the kingdom were quite outstanding and they also had magic tools bestowed by the Divine Monarch. He originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort to escape, but he didn't expect that it would be so smooth this time. He didn't know why.
He was pleasantly surprised and didn't think too much about it. After ten days, he flew back to his lair and landed in a narrow cave that was cut into the mountain wall.
After a few days, the Wei sisters woke up one after another. They found themselves in a strange place. In front of them was a bronze cauldron. The little person was looking at the cauldron while they were tied up with thin ropes.
Wei Jiao, however, wasn't afraid at all. She asked, "What kind of place is this?"
The little person looked at her in surprise. "You woke up so quickly, but this is good."
He chuckled and said, "You two sisters are born to be intelligent and have cultivated the righteous Daoist technique. You have a pure body and can be the catalyst for my cauldron of pills. Previously, I couldn't do anything to you two sisters in the kingdom. I didn't expect that the idiot in your kingdom would send you two cultivation seeds to another kingdom. It's a good thing for me. When I achieve the Daoist body, I will naturally remember your benefits."
Wei Jiao looked at the cauldron and said, "We two sisters have studied under Elder Zhi. If you dare to harm us, Elder Zhi won't let you go."
"Uncle Zhi of the Fu Kingdom?"
The little person was shocked and his expression changed several times. He didn't expect the two sisters to have such a background. He couldn't help but reveal a struggling expression, but then he became ferocious. "So what if he's Uncle Zhi! The Wasteland is so big. After I refine the two of you, I will find a demon king to rely on. How will he find me then? "
At this moment, a hollow sound came from the cauldron. The little person became excited and danced beside the cauldron. He clapped his hands and sang a strange song. The two sisters' bodies floated up involuntarily and slowly moved towards the cauldron.
Wei Jiao couldn't help but turn pale. She struggled a few times, but after realizing that it was useless, she angrily said, "Sister, we might not be able to escape this time. I, I would rather die than be eaten by the monsters."
Wei Wan said sadly, "Elder Zhi once said that if I can improve my Daoist technique, I will be able to open up a miracle. If we sisters are more diligent, we might be able to escape this disaster today."
Wei Jiao's eyes were red. She said, "Sister, if there's a chance to escape, I will definitely train hard from now on."
The little person heard her and laughed. Just as he was about to mock her, a voice came from outside the cauldron. "Since the two senior sisters have such a wish, how can I not fulfill it?"
The little person was shocked. He looked outside and said, "Who is it?"
Outside the cave, a wisp of smoke rushed in and a majestic white jade lion came in. On its back sat a handsome young Daoist. He came down from the lion but did not look at the little person. He bowed to the two sisters and said, "Greetings, Senior Apprentice-Sisters. Junior Apprentice-Brother greets you."
