Putting away his inner thoughts, Ye Xiu got up and returned to the small courtyard above his painting peak.

As soon as I returned, I saw a familiar figure, anxiously pacing in front of his hospital, none other than the deacon Juniper, who had not been seen for many days.

At this time, Juniper also found out about Ye Xiu's arrival, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ye Xiu warmly, Ye Xiu saw that the other party was looking for him, and after being polite, he asked directly:

"Deacon Du, I don't know what to do with me?"

Juniper also remembered the purpose of his trip at this time, and hurriedly said:

"Oh, that's right, just a few days ago, I suddenly received a notice from the sect here, saying that there is a task assigned by the sect to you. ”

"Sect's designated mission?"

"That's right, Ye Xiu, you don't know, this sect's assigned task is different from the ordinary sect task in the task pavilion, this kind of task is directly assigned to a certain disciple by the sect's high-level officials, and the disciple who is assigned the task must choose to carry it out, and there is no right to refuse. ”

"Oh, then I don't know what specific task the sect assigned to me this time?"

Ye Xiu already had some guesses in his heart at this time.

At this time, Juniper took out a jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to Ye Xiudao:

"I don't know the specific situation, this task jade slip must be initiated by the disciple who carried out the task. ”

Ye Xiu took the jade slip, probed his divine sense, and soon knew the content of this mission:

Speaking of this Liuyun Country, we must first understand that in this monastic world, in addition to the cities controlled by the cultivators, there are also many countries in the secular world, which are often supported by certain major sects and used to provide some resources in the secular world.

And this Liuyun Country is one of these small countries, and the sect behind the scenes is naturally the Heavenly Dao Sect, but because of the principle that cultivators do not participate too much in the affairs of the secular world, in addition to offering some things to the Heavenly Dao Sect every year, the Liuyun Kingdom only has one envoy from the Heavenly Dao Sect stationed to prevent other sects from entering it to make trouble.

And not long ago, the envoy of the Heavenly Dao Sect who was originally stationed in Liuyun Country disappeared mysteriously, so someone needed to go and find out the reason for his disappearance.

Originally, this kind of thing was normal, but in the early stage of this sect competition, this task was assigned to Ye Xiu, the purpose can be imagined, you must know that the Heavenly Dao Sect stipulates that disciples during the mission are not allowed to return to the sect casually until the task is completed.

And the one who proposed to designate this task this time is probably those forces who want to annex Huafeng, and the most suspicious one is probably the Seven Peerless Peak Gongsun Family that Ye Xiu has been in contact with at present.

Now there is less than a year to go before the rookie Dabi of the Heavenly Dao List, and the time is pressing, Ye Xiu is not delaying, and after saying goodbye to Deacon Du, he directly took the Flying Sky Shuttle and left the Heavenly Dao Sect, and went to Liuyun Country according to the route indicated in the jade slip.

According to the introduction in the jade slip, Liuyun Country is a small country with a population of more than 7 million, composed of dozens of small cities, the largest of these small cities is Liuyun City, that is, the royal city of Liuyun Kingdom, and at the same time, the envoy of the Heavenly Dao Sect was also the last place where he appeared.

The royal family of Liuyun Kingdom is a family surnamed Li, and there is also a set of cultivation techniques in the family for generations, which is essentially a family of cultivators, according to the investigation of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the strength of this family is similar to the Xiao family that Ye Xiu met before, but unlike the Xiao family, the Li family, as a royal family in the secular world, also controls hundreds of thousands of mortal armies, although most of these armies are composed of mortals or monks from the Dao Tong realm, but there are more ants and can gnaw elephants to death, not to mention that these mortals also have martial arts.

In addition to the Li family, there are three relatively large princes in Liuyun country, Sun, Zhao, and Liu, although the strength of these Hou mansions is not as strong as the Li family, but they are quite strong, each has a master in the early stage of the first-grade Daoist realm, and the forces of the Quartet are intricate, which makes the disappearance of the envoy of the Heavenly Dao Sect even more confusing.

As for the missing Heavenly Dao Sect envoy, his name is Sima Cao, like Ye Xiu, he is also a master in the early stage of the First Rank Dao Master Realm, but he is already over eighty years old, and he has no hope of being promoted, so he chose such a messenger task with more oil and water.

According to the information in the jade slip, Sima Cao had sent a message to the Heavenly Dao Sect a few days before his disappearance, saying that he had discovered some important secret, but because there was no evidence at the time, he could not draw conclusions, so he did not say what this secret was, but his words revealed this secret, which seemed to have some kind of relationship with the pill.

Half a month later, in the city of Liuyun Wang, next to a prosperous downtown area, I don't know when a painting workshop was opened, it is rumored that the owner of the painting workshop is an extremely young boy, although young, but the young man's painting is extremely exquisite, whether it is the characters of flowers and birds, or the building pavilion, it is a vivid painting, which is amazing.

So this small painting workshop called the Nameless Painting Workshop quickly became famous in the Liuyun City Painting Shop.

Needless to say, the owner of the painting workshop was Ye Xiu, who came to Liuyun City a few days ago, since Sima Cao had disappeared in Liuyun City in the end, he decided to start from here first.

And the reason why he wants to open a painting workshop is because his master Huang He Taoist Sect once mentioned that if you want to truly comprehend the Taoist art of painting Qiankun, you must see all the ways in the world, and the investigation at this time can not be completed in a short time.

As for the Heavenly Dao Ranking, Ye Xiu will not really be like the Yellow Crane Dao Sect's idea of idle clouds and wild cranes, but he is guaranteed not to be the first to last, Ye Xiu's goal is to pursue the ultimate Heavenly Dao, then this time he must win the first place!

On this day, Ye Xiu was concentrating on painting, but the door suddenly walked into a white-clothed son, I saw that this person was about twenty years old, wearing a long sword at his waist, his face was handsome, and a folding fan in his hand was even more eye-catching.

Childe came in on the front foot, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, cute girl also hurriedly followed, and kept shouting:

"Cousin, cousin, slow down, wait for Xiang'er. ”

Seeing the latter's anxious appearance, the boy smiled and said:

"Alright, alright, it's here, that's what they're talking about. I told you a long time ago, don't let you follow, you have to listen, you don't practice well on weekdays, and you are tired of even getting rid of a few guards. ”

The girl pouted her cute little mouth and hummed quietly:

"Hmph, how can people compare with you, I'm not an innate spirit body, and I can't cultivate Taoism. ”

It's just that her voice is very small, and the boy seems to have been used to hearing her complaints on weekdays, so he didn't take her words to heart at all, but arched his hand directly towards Ye Xiu and said:

"Little brother, let me ask, is this a Wuwei Painting Workshop?"

Ye Xiu nodded slightly in response, I heard that Li Mingji, the contemporary emperor of Liuyun Country, is also a person who loves painting, so Liuyun has a very strong love of painting in China, and there are already many high-ranking officials and nobles who come to ask for paintings these days, and Ye Xiu has long been accustomed to it.

After seeing Ye Xiu nodding his head in confirmation, the boy looked very happy, and hurriedly asked:

"Then where is Master Wuwei now?"

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard his title, and then remembered that his pseudonym in this Liuyun Country was called Wuwei, but from the mouth of this son, he actually became a master of Wuwei. So he smiled and said:

"It's inaction, but it can't afford the title of master. ”

The boy and the girl were all taken aback when they heard Ye Xiu's words, and in the end, it was the boy in white who reacted first, and hurriedly said:

"The master can draw such a masterpiece, and he deserves the name of this master, but I didn't expect Master Wuwei to be so young. ”

Ye Xiu listened to his reply, and was speechless for a while, it seemed that the person in front of him was also a painting idiot, so he had to change the topic and ask:

"I don't know what the two of you are looking for?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was the girl who replied first:

"Let me tell me, my name is Zhao Xiang'er, this is my cousin Li Gan, my cousin is a painting idiot, a few days ago I accidentally saw this fan at my house, I was fascinated by the painting, not pestering my father to tell him where this fan came from, in fact, this fan also fell into the hands of my father after many people, so he didn't know, fortunately, my cousin found that there were two words of Wuwei in the painting of this fan as a payment, that is, to ask around Liuyun City if there is a master called Nameless, and sure enough, he heard that there is a Wuwei Painting Workshop in this Liuyun City, so he came, as for me, I don't like to paint, it's just to join in the fun. ”

The son-in-law named Li Qian was a little favored, knocked on Zhao Xiang'er's head and said:

"Who cares why your little girl is here!"

After speaking, he opened the mountain and river fan in his hand, I have to say that this Li Gan is extremely handsome, coupled with his chic fan opening action, if it is not Ye Xiu standing opposite, but a girl, he will definitely be fascinated by him:

"Master, the mountains and rivers in this fan are painted by you?"

Ye Xiu faintly felt that the two people in front of him seemed to have a high status in this Liuyun Country, because the clothes they were wearing were extremely luxurious, and they were made of the above-named Qingyun silk, and the sword pinned to Li Gan's waist was not a mortal thing, but a yellow-rank high-grade Dao weapon, and his own cultivation was not low, and he had reached the cultivation of the third-grade Taoist realm.

As for that Zhao Xiang'er, although she is a mortal who can't cultivate, her body contains an extremely rich aura, which is the accumulation of aura caused by mortals taking pills of the Guben Peiyuan class all year round, a mortal can take such an expensive pill all year round, her identity can be imagined! Not to mention that Ye Xiu has nothing to hide, that is, he replied:

"Yes, this fan is exactly what a wealthy businessman came to my store a few days ago and asked for. But you still don't want to call me master, it doesn't sound like you're used to it, just call me Wuwei!"

After hearing Ye Xiu admit that this picture of mountains and rivers was painted by him, Li Qian was immediately overjoyed, and asked Ye Xiu a lot of painting skills one after another.

In fact, Ye Xiu didn't know much about painting before, but he had seen a few works of masters in his previous life, but when the Yellow Crane Taoist Sect taught him the things in the painting, he also deliberately summarized all his experience in painting over the years into a jade slip and gave it to Ye Xiu, which is also the reason why Ye Xiu was able to make such a masterpiece of mountains and rivers so quickly, in addition to having the secret technique of the pupil of the cave.

In the process of communication between the two, Ye Xiu saw that this Li Gan did have his own dedication to painting, which was very similar to his master Yellow Crane Daozong, so he knew everything, and told him some of the experiences he saw on the jade slip, which can be regarded as carrying forward what his master had learned, and at the same time, he even intended to introduce Li Gan to his master Yellow Crane Taoist Sect after the end of this mission, and let him join the painting peak, I believe that both parties will definitely be very satisfied.
