Chapter Twenty-Four: The Choice Between Dreams and Filial Piety
Of course, Xu Yan would not admit it, and denied it: "The green tea I am talking about is actually a kind of tea, you can know it by the name, I laugh at you actually treat tea as a medicinal herb." ”
After speaking, he didn't care about the woman's reaction, and left the inner hall with the bowl and spoon.
In the outer hall, Su Hu'er was lying on the table, and when she saw that Xu Yan had not come out of the inner hall until now, she was a little angry.
She scolded Xu Yan in her heart for being disrespectful to the old and lustful, because a woman was ecstatic.
Of course, Xu Yan didn't know what Su Jiu'er was thinking, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Little fox, haven't I painted in the store for a while, let's paint a picture today." ”
With that, he brought his drawing tools and began to draw.
Dao Yi emerged from the painting, Su Jiu'er felt this Dao intent, and the qi in her heart disappeared instantly, and she began to feel this Dao intent greedily.
She had a premonition that under the baptism of Taoism, she would undergo an unusual transformation.
An hour later, Xu Yan's painting was completed.
He painted the painting very slowly, and it shows an injured woman lying in a medicine garden, surrounded by many flowers and plants, all of which are medicinal herbs.
Su Jiu'er saw that Xu Yan had been painting seriously for so long, and it was actually the woman of unknown origin, and she was immediately angry.
Seeing that Xu Yan still showed a satisfied expression, she became even more angry, and walked to the other side of the table to lie down, not wanting to look at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan naturally noticed Su Jiu'er's movements, and said, "Little fox, don't you usually like to watch me draw, why is there something abnormal today?"
He put down the brush and picked it up, intending to place it in the outer hall, but the thought of the woman's unknown origin and her identity must be extraordinary, dispelled this idea.
But this painting has already been painted, and it is also my own painstaking work, and it cannot be destroyed.
After thinking about it, Xu Yan decided to hang the painting in the inner hall.
The interior of his inner hall was simply furnished, with only a bed and some other small furniture, plus chess, a piano, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
These things were not bought by him, but were systematically rewarded when he improved his experience and skills in this area.
The woman lying on the bed saw the painting Xu Yan was hanging, and her eyes were full of surprise.
In this painting, there is a Taoist meaning!
The woman asked Xu Yan, "You painted this painting?"
Her current mood is difficult to calm down, this kind of painting containing Taoist meaning should appear in such a place, it is too unbelievable.
"Of course I painted it, is there any problem?" Xu Yan looked at the woman and said lightly.
He has a habit of drawing new and interesting things that happen or come across, otherwise he would not be too lazy to draw this woman for the sake of drawing this woman.
The woman stared at Xu Yan in disbelief and said, "What's your name?"
If this painting is really from the hand of the man in front of him, then this man is most likely a hidden master.
Of course, she has not encountered paintings that contain Taoist rhyme.
It's just that the Taoist rhyme in that painting is not as good as the Taoist meaning exuded by this painting, and the owner of that painting is already a big man who is respected as a painting saint.
The painting made by this person in front of him actually surpassed the painting saint?
Xu Yan frowned and said, "My name is Xu Yan." ”
He felt that this woman was talking a lot, so it was okay to take care of her injuries, and asked why she was doing so much, anyway, after the woman was injured, they would be people who had nothing to do with each other.
"I want to worship you as a teacher!"
The woman stared at Xu Yan for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke.
And her beautiful face was full of seriousness, and it didn't seem to be a joke at all.
Xu Yan said: "Don't make such jokes, I'm just a mortal, and I can't take you as an apprentice." ”
As soon as the woman mentioned that she wanted to worship him as a teacher, he thought of Judy who challenged him at Qin Yudie's birthday party.
Originally, Judy was arrogant, but after seeing his paintings, she wanted to worship him as a teacher, and now this woman also wants to worship him as a teacher after seeing his paintings.
Could it be that his paintings still have the ability to confuse people who worship him as a teacher?
When the woman heard Xu Yan's words, she was even more sure that Xu Yan was a reclusive master, otherwise there was no need to say that she was a mortal even if she rejected her.
So, she said, "Who said that mortals can't take in apprentices? I want to worship a 'mortal' like you as a teacher!"
"Girl, I won't take you as an apprentice, please don't mention it again. Xu Yan said coldly.
Then he walked out of the inner hall.
The woman was alone in the inner hall looking at the painting painted by Xu Yan, in which she was herself.
She felt a powerful Dao intent from it, and she was trying to comprehend and refine this Dao intent.
And her body also recovered unconsciously.
......
When it was close to dusk in the afternoon, Jiang Li came.
This time, Jiang Li's state was not as good as usual, the whole person was absent-minded, and the speed of cleaning was not as good as a few days ago.
When Xu Yan saw Jiang Li's appearance, he asked, "What's wrong with you, it can't be that there is another accident at home, right?"
With Jiang Li's current physical fitness, he is enough to do two jobs without worrying about being bullied again, unless something happens at home, this situation will basically not occur.
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "I heard that the Heavenly Human Sect will recruit disciples in three days. ”
He was torn between wanting to practice and become a powerful monk, and at the same time wanting to stay by his mother's side and take care of her.
Time flies in the monk's world very quickly, and it can take decades for a single retreat.
And his mother is a mortal and can only live for a few more decades.
If he came back from a retreat after becoming a monk and saw that his mother had died, he would have been unbearable.
When Xu Yan heard Jiang Li's words, he immediately knew Jiang Li's worries, and said, "You want to participate, but you can't let go of your mother, right?"
Many people have this entanglement before becoming a monk, and a monk lives longer than a mortal.
Once you become a monk, you are very likely to watch your relatives and companions grow old and die, and you will live alone in the world.
This is a choice, and it is also the first level to embark on the path of cultivation.
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Divine Doctor Xu, do you think it's better for me to take the disciple test of the Heavenly Man Sect to become a monk, but to stay at home and take care of my mother?"
He was very confused, as a young man with strong blood, it was his dream to be a monk, and even if he dreamed of it, he would dream of the scene after he became a monk.
But he only has one relative, his mother, who will take care of his mother after leaving his mother?
Now my mother can still take care of herself, but in a few decades, my mother will be old and need someone to take care of her.
And after becoming a monk and joining the Heavenly and Human Sect, he may not have time to come back every day to take care of his mother.
Jiang Li is a person with filial piety, and it is precisely because of this that he is confused.
This is a choice between dreams and filial piety!
