Hum hugged the old man's neck, glanced at his father, and grinned.

The sudden smiling face made Li Shenyuan look stunned, and then the expression on his face softened a little; he turned his head and led Shen Zhou to wash his hands, his heart was still a little awkward, and that smile looked like a flattering smile.

Li Shenzhou didn't say anything, washed his hands with him, put the food on the table in the hall, and when Zhong Ziguo and the others were done, the group gathered around the table to eat.

After eating, Li Shenyuan took the guards to the troops, while Li Shenzhou gathered the little apprentice and nephew together to inspect their cultivation progress in the courtyard.

From a rough point of view, she was quite satisfied, the little apprentice had actually advanced to the ninth level of qi refining, which was not unfast. However, what is even more surprising is that even the nephew has advanced to the Ming Jin period, and the two of them have advanced on a trip back, which is a bit unusual.

Li Shenzhou looked at the two of them for a long time, "Do you have any difficulties going back this time?"

"No, master, our return this time is quite smooth. After Li Shuning finished speaking with a smile, he got a roll of his master's eyes, and he was a little confused.

Li Shenzhou glanced at them, "You can't see your realm?" Shu Ning won't say it, Shu Zhi didn't reach the Ming Jin period before he left; the internal strength is even meager, if you go back and come back, Shu Zhi will reach the Ming Jin period." You're taking me for a fool, aren't you?"

"No, cousin, we don't want to tell you, it's just that on the way back, we met a group of human traffickers, some of them are very good at kung fu, I don't know what kind of realm they are, but neither I nor Shuning are their opponents. Li Shuzhi stopped and glanced at her halfway through speaking, and saw that her face was blank, and his heart was even more worried, and he couldn't open his mouth for the rest of the words.

His gaze swept over them, and Li Shenzhou nodded lightly, "Go on, what are you doing, it's not a girl." ”

Li Shuzhi lowered his head and continued: "When Shu Ning and I escaped, we accidentally fell into a strange place; ”

As Li Shuzhi spoke, he took out an old gray bag, "It can hold a lot of things, I saw it next to the corpse of that ancient martial master." ”

It's actually a storage bag.

Li Shenzhou couldn't help but hold his forehead, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! If the other party still has a divine sense or a remnant soul attached to it, Li Shuzhi must not be taken away, "Okay, I roughly understand, you each have your own chances, I won't say more, but if something strange happens on your body, you must explain it to me in time." ”

"Yes, cousin. Li Shuzhi nodded and sent the gray bag in his hand to her.

"Alright, keep the bag by yourself, remember, you can't let a fourth person except the three of us know that you have this kind of bag on you, and use it to be hidden so that no one else knows. Li Shenzhou wanted to confiscate the bag, but then thought that this was the opportunity of Shuzhi, and it was not appropriate for her elders to confiscate it, so she admonished her, and there was nothing else to say.

"Yes. Li Shuzhi put the bag back into his pocket.

Li Shenzhou looked at them for a while, and waved his hand impatiently, "It's nothing, you can play by yourself!"

"Okay, master. ”

"Cousin, then I'll go. ”

The two turned around and walked out of the courtyard, walked to the wall, Li Shuning said: "I'll go back and talk to the master, I haven't explained the matter to the master this time." ”

"Then you go, I'll wait for you here. Li Shuzhi glanced at him, did not object, nodded and leaned against the wall.

"I'll be back soon. After Li Shuning finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, and when he got home, he pulled Li Shenzhou into the room to talk, "Master, you didn't ask me about it just now, I want to tell you about what I encountered." ”

"Needless to say, keep your own chances, if you don't understand something, then ask as a teacher, and even if I am your master, I can't say all about the monk's chances. "Li Shenzhou is not interested in knowing the fate of his apprentices, to be honest, no one in the cultivation world has one or two life-saving things, and some things are unknown even to the elders of his closest relatives.

"Isn't this okay?" Li Shuning scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong.

Li Shenzhou looked at his distressed and tangled appearance, and knocked on the door of his head, "There is nothing bad, it is normal for a monk to have some life-saving things, even if the elders and relatives of the sect are better not to say it." ”

"Why?" Li Shuning frowned, very incomprehensible, "Master, are you angry that I didn't tell you before?" I originally wanted to tell you, but after I came back, I kept seeing you and Uncle Shi hurrying out, so I didn't say it. I was thinking that I would wait for you to be free, but I didn't expect you to find out. ”

Li Shenzhou was full of relief after hearing this, at least this apprentice was not taught in vain; he touched his head as a reassurance, "I'm not angry for the teacher, what's so angry about this kind of thing?" I'm just worried that you can't handle it, and I also want to know what you encountered when you go back this time. Strive to build a foundation as soon as possible and achieve Jindan. ”

"Master, are you really not angry?" Li Shuning asked uncertainly.

Li Shenzhou didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, seeing that the expression on his face was as entangled as ever, he said: "I'm not angry, I also have my own opportunities for teachers, except for your uncle, I didn't say anything; When you can figure out what I'm saying one day, you'll understand. ”

Li Shuning nodded, "I know, master, then I'll go to the mountains to play first, hunt pheasants and hares at noon, and let Brother Shuzhi cook meat for you." ”

"Go!" Li Shenzhou nodded, watching him turn around and leave the courtyard step by step.

Li Shuning was stopped by Li Shuzhi when he left the courtyard, "Shuning, what did my cousin say?"

"Don't you know!" Li Shuning was reluctant to say more, "With your current internal strength, it's quite easy to hear our conversation! Why do you still come to ask me." ”

"I didn't eavesdrop. ”

Li Shuning shook his head stubbornly, "If you don't hear it, forget it, my master and I didn't say anything." ”

Now that the weather is good, we will get some firewood and come back, and we have changed houses, and the house is much bigger; when we get firewood and come back, we will build a small shed next to the stove house to put firewood, so that in winter we can not go up the mountain every day to find firewood, it is too wasteful of firewood in winter, and it is better to prepare some in summer. ”
