Chapter 569 Changes
Moderate abstraction is beneficial to physical and mental health, while excessive abstraction makes people feel confused.
Wei Xi couldn't understand what Granny Tang meant by those two sentences, and could only comfort himself that the Weaver of Heaven couldn't bring her to justice for the time being.
This was not unfounded. According to the testimonies of the two corpse collectors, the Sky Weaver had not shown up for a long time. Combined with the current state of Dieji Mountain, Wei Xi concluded that the once fearsome Sky Weaver was either too weak to fulfill his duty of defending Dieji Mountain, or had left the place for some reason.
Given the ever-present feeling of being watched, Wei Xi was more inclined to believe that the Sky Weaver was hiding here.
Just as the rumors proclaim, they will forever watch over Dieji Mountain and remove obstacles for the Way of Heaven.
Wei Xi narrowed his eyes. If that were the case, things would get interesting.
After a moment's consideration, Wei Xi decided that it would be wiser to temporarily shelve the plan to lure out the Weaver. After all, a weakened beast is sometimes more wary, and once the enemy is alerted, it will be much more difficult to lure them out.
"As long as I get close enough to the secrets hidden in Calabash Town, the Weavers' backsides will definitely be burning with anxiety. Even if they manage to stay put, the more I understand Calabash Town, the greater my chances of winning will be."
Having figured this out, Wei immediately got up from the ground and rather roughly shook Yu Jin, who was soundly asleep, awake.
"...What...sleeping...enemy attack!"
As Yu Jin regained consciousness, he suddenly jumped up, his sleepiness completely driven away.
“Stop yelling,” Wei Xi warned, “If someone launches a night raid, you’ll become a sitting duck.”
Looking around blankly, Yu Jin's lips moved slightly, and then a hint of anger appeared on his stiff face.
"Wei Xi, are you just going to play games with me like this? You won't even let me get a full night's sleep?"
"You can actually fall asleep?" Wei Xi brushed the dust off his clothes and asked in surprise, "You weren't on guard at all?"
His anger came and went quickly. As he got up, Yu Jin muttered, "I didn't want to sleep so soundly either! But this body is a corpse, my blood is frozen, even breathing is torture, let alone running and jumping! I've already been very restrained by not digging a hole and lying down, Fellow Daoist Wei, please don't make fun of me!"
Wei Xi smiled insincerely and said, "In that case, you should rest here! We might meet in town when it gets dark."
This statement was almost a direct indication that staying outside would not end well, and considering the harsh environment of Dieji Mountain, Wei Xi's assessment was not an exaggeration.
Yu Jin shuddered and blurted out a lot of nice things, as if afraid that Wei Xi would leave him behind and go into Hulu Town alone.
No matter how much Yu Jin rambled on, Wei Xi ignored him and took out three sets of clothes from her Qiankun bag. She changed into one of them and quickly transformed herself into a disheveled woman.
Tearing the clothes that had been thrown at his head, Yu Jin asked, "What does this mean?"
"Change your clothes."
"what?"
A moment later, Yu Jin, dressed in coarse cloth, ruffled his hair into a mess and even imitated Wei Xi by smearing mud on his face.
As instructed by Wei, the three will play refugees who escaped from Jinxiakou: Eqiyu will play the eldest son who was scared silly by the ghost, Yujin will play the youngest son, and Weixi will play their strong, brave, hardworking and great mother.
“Fellow Daoist Wei, you don’t actually look that old. It’s a bit of a stretch for you to call this puppet your mother. Why not take it back? Wouldn’t that make things much easier?”
Wei Xi deftly picked up the embers. "Yesterday, two people entered Hulu Town, and the townspeople tried to stop them. Hulu Town is so desolate that the townspeople probably remember every fly that went through the city gate. Do you think we should put the puppet away?"
Yu Jin, who was struggling with his short legs, immediately replied, "Fellow Daoist Wei is indeed very thoughtful; I cannot even begin to match his wisdom!"
"Or you could take out two more puppets and form a large, sprawling family!" Wei Xi was disgusted by this and put Yu Jin down with a look of disdain. The latter, still not satisfied, insisted that she contribute two more puppets, arguing that it would make her feel safer that way.
When Wei Xi mistakenly referred to Eqi language as puppet, he never imagined that Yu Jin would have so many problems.
As we all know, one lie often requires many lies to cover it up, and now Wei Xi can only reluctantly call the IQ language a puppet.
This was nothing short of a disgrace to Wei Xi, who considered herself a weapon refiner: why would she bother to add facial features to the magical artifacts she crafted? It was simply a waste of materials.
Even if Wei Xi had the leisure to sculpt facial features, he would never have produced such a mediocre appearance.
"Luckily, Yu Jin never saw what E Qiyu really looked like," Wei Xi thought with relief, "otherwise he would have said some more nonsense."
As soon as I saw Wei Xi, my dazed eyes trembled slightly, clearly still shaken by Wei's brutality.
Considering that the Hehuan Sect did not provide spirit stones to protect E Qiyu's mental health, Wei Xi did not feel anything was wrong, and instead tightened the chains twice.
This time, dawn broke even faster; by the time the group arrived at the town gate of Hulu Town, it was already broad daylight.
Just like Wei Xi's memory, the city gate of Hulu Town was still a desolate scene, with only people entering the town.
In this scenario, "going in but not coming out" is more like "going in but never returning."
He heard Yu Jin gasp, clearly quite frightened.
The guards looked over, and Wei Xi noticed that both of them were standing inside the gate, clearly not an exception from Hulu Town.
Yu Jin knew he had messed things up. He gasped for breath a couple more times, then grabbed Wei Xi's remaining sleeve and sobbed, "...Mother...Mother...Gou Dan is hungry...Waaah...So hungry..."
Wei Xi reacted quickly, trying to force a smile onto her numb face. She reached out and patted Yu Jin's head, saying, "Once we get into the city... Mother will go begging for food. You stay with your older brother and don't wander off..."
With just a few words, Wei Xi and Yu Jin vividly portrayed the image of an orphan and a widow.
Once the two had successfully passed through the city gate, Wei Xi's "motherly heart" vanished instantly.
“This set works quite well,” Wei Xi said, scratching his chin. “You reacted quite quickly; I didn’t realize that.”
“I won’t talk about it,” Ember said with a subtle expression. “My head is buzzing right now.”
Wei Xi comforted him, "Don't worry, even if things go wrong, I can still get you out of here!"
"No, it was you who hit me on the head. You hit me too hard! My head is a human head, not a walnut!"
Wei Xi: ……
However, Yu Jin had already shown the potential to be a teammate, so Wei Xi couldn't help but be more lenient with him.
The next moment, Wei Xi could no longer laugh: he saw a group of townspeople standing not far from the city gate, still dressed in plain clothes, gathered together.
What changed was their expression; they stared intently at the two of them, as if they had been waiting for a long time, or like hyenas that had been starving for a long time and had spotted their lone prey.
This bizarre scene hadn't happened yesterday, and Wei Xi's scalp tingled instantly.
"Damn it, Yu Jin isn't very skilled!" (End of Chapter)
