"That's right, it's just that Master is partial and doesn't want me to go down the mountain. Where did I lose to my brother? Master doesn't want me to go down the mountain, so can't I steal it down? When I have done a great job, I will know who is the real winner and who is the real loser. "Yeli seemed to be like an enlightenment, and he had a flash of inspiration, and he secretly rejoiced.

This thought was born, and all kinds of thoughts revolved around this thought, and the whole person suddenly became brighter.

In the end, he made up his mind to go down the mountain secretly, and did not say goodbye to his master Lingkongzi, nor did he summon his mount, the golden-eyed eagle, so he wrapped the package around his shoulder, carried the demon slashing knife, and went straight out of the back cliff wall hole.

Yeli followed the cliff in the west, grabbed the vines in his hand, leaned against the cliff wall, slowly slid down, and then passed through the valley and quietly left Yanjing Mountain.

Yeli has been taught in Yanjing Mountain since he was a child, and Ling Kongzi has long taught the geography of the territory of Beiji Country and the distribution of various tribes, and the purpose is naturally to use it one day. Therefore, Yeli naturally knew that the place where the Kejing people lived was in the northwest of Beiji Kingdom, that is, the west of Yanjing Mountain, so he wanted to copy the back path of the Kejing people and help his father Wang.

At night, I left Yanjing Mountain, crossed the mountains all the way, and walked quickly. When I walked enough, I suddenly felt a gurgling sound in my abdomen, and it turned out that I had not eaten for a day and was hungry.

As the saying goes: people are iron, rice is rigid, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Ye Li was young and strong, and he couldn't help but think about food, and he looked around from the top of the mountain, hoping to find a cottage and farm to ask for some food to satisfy his hunger.

But I saw the mountains and the mountains and wilderness, where can I find the cottages and farms?

"What a bad luck! If this man is on his back, he will not be able to find a place to fill his stomach even if he is hungry. Yeli was talking to himself while hurrying unhurriedly, his eyes still looking around.

Suddenly, in the westward setting of the sun, in the pine forest of the mountain col not far ahead, a peasant family was revealed, with low huts and curling smoke.

Yeli was pleasantly surprised, and he flew down the hill as if he were flying down, went straight to the farmhouse, pushed open the fence gate, and broke in.

But there was no one in the house, and the hot air on the stove pot was curling, and the rice was fragrant.

"Is anyone there? Passers-by are hungry and want to beg for a bowl of rice from their master's house. Ye Li looked around and called several times, but no one answered.

Yeli was already very hungry, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of rice, his mouth was salivating, and his stomach seemed to be grabbed and pinched by someone one after another, which was really unbearable, so he quickly ran to the stove, took a wooden bowl in one hand, and lifted the lid of the pot with the other.

A burst of hot rice fragrance came to the nose, and the half-pot rice cooked rice was white and soft, dazzling people's eyes.

Yeli threw away the lid of the pot and grabbed a big bowl of rice, just like a hungry ghost reincarnated, and ate it in a big gulp.

The rice is snow-white and fragrant, and after eating five bowls in a row, it still can't quench the hunger!

When I came back from the night to make the sixth bowl, I suddenly heard someone behind me scolding: "Where did the thief come from, stealing the old man's food?"

Yeli was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw a fifty-year-old man walking into the hut quickly, looking very angry, and said gently: "Old man, hungry on the way, begging for a bowl of rice to eat." ”

"Where are you begging for food! It's clearly 'stealing'!" the old man said.

The words drilled into his ears, like a knife, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Old man: I am really hungry, I can't stand it for a while, so I ate a few bowls of rice, and I hope your old man will forgive me." ”

"Eating is a trivial matter, but this crooked mind is a big matter! If you find gold and silver when you are not at home, then you must take it? You can't let a momentary desire spoil your conduct!" said the old man.

Yeli was quite unhappy, and said slightly: "I only ate a few bowls of rice, how can I compare it with gold and silver? Where did I get such wordy? I paid you silver!"

As he spoke, Yeli stretched out his hand to grope for silver in his linen robe, but he had never carried a silver tael, and he couldn't help but panic.

The old man said coldly: "One wrong step is one wrong step, even if you pay the money, you can't erase the stain on your conduct today." ”

Seeing that Ye Li's whole body kept touching up and down, but still couldn't touch the silver, the old man smiled again and said, "You paid the money, and I will give up." But the old man still advises you: In the dark room, God's eyes are like electricity. A gentleman should be cautious of his own affairs, and he will not take it from me, but if he takes it, it will be in accordance with the way. ”

Yeli is in a hurry, how can he have the heart to deal with the old man's gossip?

After groping for a long time, he couldn't take out a penny, so he was ashamed and said: "Old man, I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't bring the silver out. ”

When the old man heard this, he laughed and said, "You have no character to speak of by stealing food, how can I believe that you will return it in the future?"

After being squeezed by the old man, Yeli was very unhappy and said: "I just ate a few bowls of rice from you, why are you chattering so much and humiliating me?

"Okay, that's what you said. The old man said.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Ye Li replied casually, with a bold look.

"Okay, the old man looks at your outfit, and this broken knife can be exchanged for a few dollars of silver, so you can mortgage it for this meal!"

Before the night left, this old man actually asked him to use the demon slashing knife as a mortgage, this demon slashing knife is the root of life that has been with him since childhood, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No! no, no, no......"

"You just said that 'a gentleman's word, a horse is difficult to chase', and you only knew how to do it, and you broke your word and denied it. The old man teased.

Yeli was originally short of other people's hands and soft mouths, so he had to change his voice to a good face, but the old man not only did not forgive, but also taught him a long time to be sarcastic, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

At this time, he was sarcastically ridiculed by the old man, and Yeli couldn't help but be furious, and blurted out: "I just ate a few bowls of bird rice from you, but you keep nagging! I don't pay you money, what can you do?"

"You thief, where are you going? I have to arrest you today!" The old man chased out of the door, rushed forward, and clutched Yeli's arm.

Yeli was in a hurry, shook his arm and threw the old man to the ground, and wanted to walk, unwilling to entangle with him.

The old man hugged Yeli's thighs tightly and kept shouting: "The food thief is gone, the food thief is gone, the food thief is gone......"

"Old horseman, if you pester me again, I will kill you with one sword!" Ye Li was so angry that he took out the demon slashing knife and put it on the old man's shoulder and neck, and said intimidatingly.

The old man was not afraid at all, and his right hand clenched the blade of the knife and said: "The thief who steals the rice, doesn't think about his own mistakes, and still comes to commit murder?" The old man won't let you go, what are you going to do?"

Yeli was already aggrieved all the way, and at this time he was humiliated, a stream of blood rushed to his head, and his eyes suddenly gave birth to murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Old horseman! You are looking for your own death, don't blame me!"

Where the words fell, the night was born from the evil side of the gall, the teeth were gritted, and the demon slashing knife wiped the old man's neck with force.

"Criminal, how dare you commit murder?" The old man saw that Yeli was actually going to take his life, so he suddenly let out a deep sigh, raised his hand, and threw Yeli out of the air three or five feet away.

Fortunately, Ye Li grasped the demon slashing knife to a certain extent, so he didn't fly away. He made a "harrier rollover" in the air and landed on the ground, looking up.

I saw that the fence of the hut had disappeared, and the old man was long gone, only a silver-bearded old man in a gray robe, standing in the pine forest with a gloomy face.

Aya Mama, it's the master who is in the sky!

It turned out that when Yeli went down the mountain, Ling Kongzi had already noticed it, so he quietly followed, always hoping that Yeli could turn back by himself. After following for a long time, I suddenly heard him talking to himself about the hunger in his belly and was about to find food to fill his stomach, so Ling Kongzi lit a thatched hut and turned into an old man to test the virtue of Yeli after all.

Unexpectedly, Yeli really had a thought, and his scheming was not right, and he was about to kill someone! Ling Kongzi couldn't help but be sad and angry, and as soon as he raised his hand, he dissolved his killing style and turned back into himself.

When I saw this scene at night, I realized that the master had great powers, and what he had learned in the past sixteen years was nothing more than fur. He remembered the master's words just now, and his heart was half cold, and he regretted it.

"Master: How could it be... Could it be you? In vain... In vain, I ...... "Ye Li knew that he had made a mistake, and it was difficult to quibble for a while, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Li'er, you are so skilled, how can I rest assured that you will go down the mountain!" Ling Kongzi said sternly.

Yeli was sweating profusely, and he fell down with a snap, kowtowing and saying, "Master, the apprentice lost his anger for a while and made a mistake, next time ...... Don't dare next time. ”

"Li'er, on weekdays, the master spoils you, and the elder brother lets you, after all, because you are still young, you will inevitably make some mistakes, but if you want to go down the mountain, the people in the world will not spoil you and let you like the master and your brother. Your heart is not complete, and it is difficult for you to cope with the affairs of the world, so it is better to go back to the mountain with Master and cultivate well. Ling Kongzi said earnestly.

"Master: The apprentice knows, but the country of Beiji is in trouble, and as a prince, why isn't the apprentice in a hurry? Yeli pleaded.

"You really don't want to go back to the mountain with Master?"

"I hope Master will be perfect. ”

"Okay! If you insist on going down the mountain, Master will never have you as an apprentice again!"

"Master: Master has the grace of reinvention for the apprentice, but the apprentice has already gone down the mountain, and I ...... the apprentice" said sadly at night.

"Good, good...... You have always turned a deaf ear to my words, which is also the reason why I am not strict with you on weekdays. If I force you to go back to the mountain, I can only keep your body and your heart. If you really want to go down the mountain, you and I will cut off the relationship between master and apprentice. Ling Kongzi saw that the night was born with a thought, and the nine scalpers couldn't turn back, so he said cruel words.

"Master...... I ...... "Yeli knelt on the ground, without getting up and going back to the mountain."

Seeing this, Ling Kongzi said sadly: "If you do anything wrong after you go down the mountain, I will come and kill you with my own hands when the time comes!
