Looking at the expressions of these two people, there is something that Senior Sister doesn't understand. She raised her hand and pulled Shao Zongyan's collar, asked him to lower his body, slowly put her lips to his ear, and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, when you first learned the method of double cultivation, you should have cultivated the method of collecting yin and supplementing yang, rather than the practice of inviting favors from inner flattery, right?" ”

How can my sister feel that you are applying what you have learned in the opposite direction?

Shao Daochang recalled the few little yellow rabbits he had stayed up late to study, and the cousin who cried and collapsed when he was bitten that day, and he also felt that he had lost his teacher's demeanor, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was too late to regret it.

Next time, next time, he will definitely make a posture that Brother Yan can't do, and it will also show the background of their Xuan Refining Sect!

Shao Zongyan rolled his eyes, coughed lightly in disguise, stood up and said with a stern face: "Don't mention this matter, senior sister, are you willing to let me cut off your luck?" ”

Le Yan immediately understood everything, lay back on the chair with no strength, looked at him lovingly, and sighed: "That's it, I don't care what I do with this, I didn't take good care of you back then." Brother, cut it, don't care if he can't succeed, I can't let you come to the door and see me die in front of your eyes. ”

"Well, senior sister rest assured." Shao Zongyan let go of Le Yan's withered hand, put the scimitar on his waist, and looked at Yan Hanjiang for help: "Brother Yan, how should I cut it?" ”

"Slash at the golden wisp of luck tied to her." The pale golden luck is the main killing, if Le Yan hadn't chosen this path by herself, she would definitely be able to become a martial arts master, and if she stepped into the immortal path, she would also take the road of killing. After breaking these lucks, her martial arts path will no longer be as full of adventures as before, and it will be smooth sailing.

However, Le Yan herself doesn't like to practice martial arts very much, this talent has been wasted, and it's not a pity to lose it.

Shao Zongyan calmly raised the knife, his right arm hung steadily in the air, and the tip of the knife approached the layer of gold wire outside Le Yan's body inch by inch. The tip of the knife is everywhere, and there is no need for him to cut the gold thread hard, so he has his own suction force to suck Le Yan's luck to the chopping knife. After those golden threads entered the knife, they condensed into red threads wrapped around the blade, the shape of the slashing knife did not change, but it was much heavier than before, and its blade was also glorious and dignified, revealing a trace of sharp murder in the charm.

The last golden thread was cut off, and those mysterious and terrifying beings disappeared from Shao Zongyan's eyes one after another, Le Yan also felt a lot more relaxed, and stood up slowly, slowly, slowly, according to the soft drawer, and showed a bright smile towards Shao Zongyan.

It's as if going back in time to ten years ago, she was still as bright and vivid as the female disciple in the deep mountain sect who was in her prime and was favored.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, junior brother, but the Wang family is a little messy and not suitable for receiving guests, so I won't keep you any longer." After dealing with this matter, I plan to go back to the mountains to have a look, and if you still have time to go back, maybe you can meet in the old hall of the sect in the future. ”

Shao Zongyan put away his scimitar and saluted, nodded and said, "We came to see Senior Sister, and since we have solved the problem of Senior Sister's luck, there is no need to stay longer." I still have some freshly refined pills in my hand, do you want to keep a few? ”

Le Yan shook her head and smiled: "I'm your senior sister, how can I ask for your children's things." By the way, I also know where a few senior brothers have stayed, so I'll write down the address for you. You are the only one of our brothers and sisters who has been living in a fixed place...... It's a pity we can't help you. ”

Shao Zongyan handed over the pen and paper, watched her pen fall on the crooked and weak ink, tried to hold back her tears, and said with a smile: "What did Senior Sister say, I was notorious at that time, it's good that you weren't involved by me." ”

Not long after, the hall was as usual, and Uncle Lejia said goodbye to his sister and drifted away with another equally likable male guest under the regretful gaze of the maids.

After leaving Yuefu, they went to find a few senior brothers according to the address, and by the way, they distributed the review books of the owner of Bichen Mountain Villa and his aunt to whitewash Shao Zongyan.

In a small Sanqing Temple in Pingle County, three hundred miles away, Shao Zongyan met Zhu Qingwei, the disciple of the previous generation and the second senior brother of the Xuanlian Sect. He has officially become a Taoist monk, quiet and indifferent, like a lonely crane in the clouds, he can't tell that he is the naughty disciple who was not good at reading back then, and took his disciples all over the mountains to hunt, pick wild fruits, and fish and shrimp.

Shao Zongyan almost didn't dare to recognize this senior brother when he saw him in the view, but Zhu Qingwei recognized him at a glance, and whispered "mercy", with a clear and ethereal smile flowing from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, he was more like a person in the immortal path than him, a monk who really stepped into the immortal gate.

After Zhike left, Daochang Shao hurriedly made a joke and asked, "I wish my senior brother well?" ”

Zhu Qingwei returned the salute, shook off the dust, strode up and hugged him, patted him on the back hard, and choked up excitedly: "I heard Zhike say that a distant brother named "Zhu Shao" came to see me, and I wondered if it would be you. A few years ago, I was busy with the exam, and I delayed it in this small place for several years, but I didn't hear from you. ”

The senior brother who didn't like to read the scriptures the most back then, after leaving the sect, began to read the scriptures that he had never read, and he tried his best to pass the Taoist priesthood and began to be a true Taoist priest who abides by the rules and precepts.

Zhu Qing said slightly sadly: "When the master was here, he always wanted to turn the Xuanlian Sect into a serious Taoist branch, and he talked about this sutra and that sutra every day, but in fact, he couldn't even read a complete scripture. At that time, I always felt that it was useless to read the Bible, and I was able to sell wild medicines, write histories of the former dynasties, and draw pictures like Master. At that time, he was unwilling to pay attention, but later he passed away, and the sect was gone, so he wanted to fulfill his wish back then, to be a true Taoist priest who was recognized by the Taoist sect. ”

After studying hard in this small place for three years, I got the exam, but I missed the moment when my junior brother was hunted down and killed, and I needed help the most. It wasn't until the people disappeared that he knew what had happened from the mouths of the Jianghu guests who had borrowed it.

Shao Zongyan smiled bitterly and said, "Why did Senior Brother say such an outlandish thing? I've always been afraid that it will affect you, and it's a good thing that you don't know that something happened to me. ”

What's more, although Senior Brother Zhu has a bold temperament, he doesn't know martial arts at all, and getting involved in these grievances in the rivers and lakes is to die in vain, or it is more reassuring to honestly nest in the Taoist temple.

The two hugged for a while, and the grass carp spirit behind him quietly pulled his collar, Shao Daochang understood what he meant, withdrew from Zhu Qingwei's arms without a trace, pulled Yan Hanjiang's sleeve and introduced him: "This is my Taoist companion Yan Hanjiang." There may be some bad rumors in the future, but senior brother, don't believe outsiders, Brother Yan and I are Taoist couples formed because of like-mindedness. ”

The word "Daoist" shocked Zhu Qingwei a little, but he was born in the Xuanlian Sect and was well-informed, so he said with a sigh: "Since you have chosen this path, Senior Brother has nothing to say." I just hope that the two of you can continue to get better, if he loses you, just come back, although the senior brother has no ability, he will never let you suffer alone outside as before. ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Hanjiang, his divine light was awe-inspiring, no longer the untainted Taoist priest he was when he first met, but he had regained the ability to teach his disciples fishing and hunting in the mountains and wilderness, and protected them from being harmed by wild beasts, insects and ants.

Yan Hanjiang looked at him calmly and said solemnly: "I am here to seek justice for Zong Yan, so that no one in this world will dare to bully him." The Taoist just watched how I acted. ”

After leaving the second senior brother, they went back to the old site of the Xuanlian Sect, and met the third senior brother Bu Weiming, who made a living as a traveling doctor and fortune teller and maintained the old mountain gate alone.

Senior Brother Bu went to Beijing like him back then and gave alchemy to the nobles in the court. At that time, he was also a Yushi master of the fairy wind and bones, but now he is wearing an old Taoist robe and working in the yard full of barren grass with his arms open, and the stubble on his mouth has not been shaved clean, and he has the image of a Jianghu person.

When Shao Zongyan and the others passed, he split the wooden strips outside the Dan room, and after the splitting was done, he nailed them layer by layer to the cracked door panel to reinforce. Seeing that the junior brother he hadn't seen for a long time was coming, he didn't have much to say, so he only went to fetch a bucket of water for them when Daochang Shao took the axe and chopped it, and asked them to take a scoop and drink.

Shao Zongyan has much more strength, and the senior brother has to split the work for an afternoon, and he can finish it in three or two clicks, and use nails and glue to glue all the leaky places firmly. But it was useless to reinforce alone, and the place where no one lived was quickly made to decay by the wind, rain and snow, and the insects and ants inside, and he was alone in such a big place, repairing a little every day, a little every day, but still he could only watch the house dilapidated at a faster rate.

Shao Zongyan looked at it with a heartfelt heart, holding the cold water and said: "Senior brother has been guarding here alone all these years......"

Bu Weiming said with a smile: "When we were still in Beijing, didn't you secretly run out of Beijing because you offended a Hanlin?" I thought, back then, we didn't care so much about serving the master and uncle, but now they are serving the master, and let the family beat and scold. I didn't bother to do it any longer, thinking that it would be better to come back and guard our little place, in case you can't stay outside anymore, and come back with a place to retreat, it won't be all shabby houses that are uninhabitable. ”

It's a pity that he didn't make much money, and he didn't know how to repair houses, and now the painted pavilions and pillars have faded, and the tiles on the house may not have been changed for a long time, and this mountain gate is still in tatters and tattered, and it is no longer what it used to be.

"None of you have come back, and I don't know anything here, how are you doing outside?"

Shao Zongyan picked up the good ones and said, "The second senior brother has passed the examination, and now he has officially been ordained and ordained; The fifth senior sister said that she would come back in a few days, so you don't have to stay here alone. I met an immortal a few years ago, and I haven't come back because I'm cultivating immortals, and I've found a Taoist couple......"

Bu Weiming interrupted him abruptly, glanced at Yan Hanjiang, his expression was clear, and he no longer had the gentleness of a good old man before. He looked at Yan Hanjiang, but asked Shao Zongyan: "This is the home of the place where you later gave people alchemy?" How could the son of such a rich and noble family really fall in love with you, a homeless and jobless counterfeit medicine! ”

Shao Zong hurriedly explained for him: "Senior brother, I don't sell medicine anymore, I'm an immortal." I can't see it, but I'm a god, both of us. When I was chased and killed by the people of Bichen Villa, it was Brother Yan who saved me, and this time he brought me back to clear my reputation, so that I could be an upright person......"

If only he could really wash his reputation and bring back all his brothers and sisters. He still has a salary, and he can buy several copies of Yuanguang, and then he will let the senior brothers and sisters live in the sect and study with the Xiuzhen version with peace of mind, and they will be the real immortal sect after learning. In the future, if there are disciples who enter Beijing to become national teachers, they are also capable true national teachers, rather than relying on various pills to please the emperor and concubines.

The two gradually fell silent, sat for a while, Bu Weiming stood up suddenly, patted the sawdust on his clothes, and showed a vicissitudes of life: "I didn't greet you when you brought someone here, you sit, I'll get something to eat." ”

"No need." Shao Zongyan smiled vigorously: "I'll do it, I'm here, how can I still let you work, senior brother, you have a good rest." ”

After he got up, he saw that Yan Hanjiang was still sitting, so he touched his hair by the way. Feeling the silky satin feel under his palm, and some of it slid through his fingers like flowing water, he suddenly understood why Yan Hanjiang always liked to touch his hair, and his mood was a little brighter, so he walked into the kitchen with ease and took out the ingredients he brought to cook.

This small kitchen is still the same as it was at the beginning, but there are no pickles, bacon, wind chickens and the like that are often hung in it. At that time, the master and the uncle wanted to be true Taoist priests, and they didn't eat much meat, but the disciples didn't care much about that, and they ate whatever they caught in the forest.

Autumn is the time when the food is abundant and the taste is the best. In the kitchen, there are chickens, rabbits, roe deer meat and dried bamboo shoots, cranberries, yellow essence, yams, brown rice, millet, etc., and there is still a little charcoal fire left in the stove, and there is a simmered yam and yellow essence buried underneath, which is probably the lunch that Senior Brother Bu will use for a while.

Shao Zong dug it out neatly, broke it and tasted it almost ripe, then patted off the ashes, and brought it outside to pad their stomachs while it was hot.

His senior brother was talking to Yan Hanjiang about something, and both of them were very strict, but they didn't say anything when they saw him come out, as if they had formed some kind of alliance and excluded him. He put down the basket and wanted to ask what was going on, but Senior Brother Bu waved his hand: "I'll ask Yan Xianren about cultivating immortals, don't worry about it, go back to cook first." ”

Are you sure? He glanced at Yan Hanjiang uneasily, and got the other party's affirmative nod, before returning to the kitchen to cook with peace of mind. He was reluctant to eat Senior Brother Bu's things, so he took out the vegetables, meat and grain brought at home, first made a pot of refined rice, and then skillfully cut and cut the fish, stir-fried the spicy seasoning, and made a pot of boiled fish.

Because Senior Brother Bu had a light taste, he fried a chrysanthemum fish again. This kind of look complicated, and it is not much more troublesome than boiled fish, but when cutting the meat, you have to cut a few more slices of fish fillets with a knife, and after cutting, you will have a few more knives to break them into fish sticks along the tendons. After that, just pat the starch and fry it in the pot, and then fry it and wrap it in sweet and sour sauce.

The tomato sauce he used to stir-fry the sauce was sweet and sour, and the fish was wrapped in a translucent sauce with water starch. When you bite into the crispy shell with the sauce on the outside, you can taste the slightly marinated shredded fish, which is smooth and fragrant, and the very light salt flavor makes the sugar juice on the outside more sweet and sour.

He finished "tasting" a whole chrysanthemum in the oil pot, and then remembered that the person who was eating was still waiting outside, so he quickly picked up his apron and wiped his mouth, and sent the dish out with a stern face.

This trip, there is no longer that kind of competitive atmosphere between the two, Senior Brother Bu has a smile on his face, his eyes are shining, and he is talking about some troubles when he was a child while eating. It seems that the senior brother finally accepted his own matter of finding a male Taoist partner, Shao Zongyan was really relieved, and went back to the kitchen to quickly fry a sour and spicy cucumber, choked with shredded potatoes, and burned a clear winter melon meatball soup.

He took the dishes out and announced that lunch was ready, and Senior Brother Bu, the host, took the initiative to get up and followed him back to the kitchen to serve the food and get the vegetables.

After arriving in the kitchen, Bu Weiming stopped his junior brother by the stove, patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "Have a good time." You have a great future, don't delay your own business for us, you know? Senior brothers don't have the luck and talent like you, just cultivate immortals or something, you have to practice hard. Thousands of years later, we are gone, you have to remember the Xuanlian Sect for us. ”

Shao Zongyan held his hand, held it tightly, so tight that there was a "click" sound between the bones, and said, "Thousands of years later, senior brother, I want you to see the Xuanlian Sect build it again with your own eyes." ”
