22. Look at the heat

"Senior brother is in retreat......" Nuomi tilted her head slightly, fantasizing about the situation of senior brother in retreat.

It turned out to be in retreat, no wonder she never saw the figure of the senior brother on the mountain, nor did she hear from the senior brother. Glutinous rice thought blankly.

Since the senior brother is going to go out of the customs, everyone is giving gifts to the senior brother, so can she also give something.

But she didn't have anything. After more than a month of miscellaneous work, she has only accumulated more than forty contribution points on her identity jade card, and she can't even exchange half a low-grade first-order spirit stone, let alone anything else.

Just now, the monk seemed to have mentioned the elixir.

Nuomi glanced up at the huge bronze Dan furnace in front of him, and immediately closed his eyes and shook his head desperately.

No, no, no. Although she had always been a little beggar before, she never stole anything. She didn't want to be a thief, and she didn't want to involve Senior Sister Tian and Senior Brother Zhuzi.

After thinking about it so randomly, Glutinous Rice really couldn't think of anything to give to Senior Brother. It's been a few days since she entered the sect, and Nuomi has begun to understand the hierarchy of dignity and inferiority, and she finally understands that the things she regards as treasures are all scum in the eyes of regular disciples, not to mention the high-ranking senior brothers. Now she will never want to give a small piece of iron-hard steamed bun to the senior brother like she did at the bottom of the mountain.

With a small sigh, Nuomi could only force himself to give up, and then concentrate on taking care of the fire in front of him.

Looking at it this way, glutinous rice showed interest.

The fire under the huge bronze Dan furnace was not vigorous. It should be said that compared to the volume of the Dan furnace, the three wisps of open flame under it are really a little pitiful. Each flame was only half the size of a palm of glutinous rice, and each one burned. A straight line was drawn with cinnabar on the stove, and the three flames were on the left, middle and right positions of the cinnabar line, and there was no firewood or other combustion-supporting materials, but the same array was drawn at both ends of the vermilion line, and two translucent dark red stones were placed on them.

Nuomi has never seen a spirit stone, only seen the description of the spirit stone in the jade slip, and can only guess it, thinking that those two are spirit stones.

Although he was very curious about the spirit stone, and was worried about whether the three small flames could burn the furnace vigorously enough, Nuomi firmly remembered Tian Tian's explanation, and did not touch anything, but only stared at the furnace fire and kept the furnace fire at the size that Tian Tian requested. In Nuomi's mind, it is always impossible to listen to the words of the senior sister.

It's a simple and boring job.

The three wisps of open flame burned extremely steadily, and there would be no problem at all except for the occasional burst of sparks. At first, the glutinous rice was very nervous, but gradually relaxed. His job was to fan the fire once in a while, and then poke it with the handle of the fan after the open flame had sparked.

I don't know how long I sat next to the bronze Dan furnace, and when the eyes of the glutinous rice were already dry, I couldn't help but reach out and rub it, and a voice suddenly came from inside the hall:

"Who are you?!"

Glutinous rice put all her attention on the three open flames under the Dan furnace, and did not notice the situation in the main hall at all.

The voice was low and majestic, and there was anger in the voice, which suddenly startled the weak glutinous rice, and slapped it under the stove. The fire in the furnace grew when it was windy, and when it was fanned like this, the fire suddenly rose a lot. Nuomi was frightened again, and even forgot to be afraid, so he hurriedly used the handle of the fan to poke the flame again, and then put down the fan and stood up timidly, looking in the direction where the sound came.

Standing in the main hall was a Taoist with a long body and a Taoist dressed in a fairy style. The man had a long beard under his chin, but he couldn't tell how old he was. With his hands behind his back, he was staring up and down the glutinous rice with a stern gaze.

"Teacher, Teacher......"

Even if you haven't seen glutinous rice at all, you can see who the person in front of you is.

With such an age and cultivation, he appeared in the Zhenyi Palace, presumably the hall master Qingming Zhenren. According to the regulations in the sect, miscellaneous disciples and physical cultivation belong to the nominal disciples of the hall master, and although the master is the hall master, he cannot accept the temple master's teachings.

"Are you a miscellaneous disciple?"

"Back to the master, yes." Nuomi replied cautiously, for fear of upsetting the master even more.

When Nuomi carefully peeked at Qingming Zhenren with the corner of his eye, Qingming Zhenren was also looking at the little doll below.

The pill in the furnace is still fine, and it smells like it can be condensed immediately. Although the little doll was holding the golden silkworm ice glass wooden fan just now, she knew that she had put it down, and there was no pill spirit stone hidden on her body, so she didn't look like a thief. The medicine was not damaged, which made Qingming Zhenren's anger slightly lessen.

He clearly remembered that he had handed over the medicine of this Dan furnace to his eldest disciple Tian Tian to be in charge, and now that Tian Tian was not there, this miscellaneous disciple was holding the golden silkworm ice glass wood fan that should have been in Tian Tian's hand, and Qingming Zhenren could more or less guess what was going on. It's just that Tian Tian is smart, but he has a bad time at this time.

Tian Tian has been practicing by his side since he was a child, and he naturally understands Tian Tian's thoughts. In recent days, Tian Tian has become more and more inattentive to cultivation, so he wants to forcibly leave Tian Tian in the temple and let her feel calmer. Unexpectedly, Tian Tian actually brought all the miscellaneous disciples outside to the hall, just to go out to play by himself.

Although he can figure it out, Qingming Zhenren is inevitably unhappy.

A place like the Zhenyi Palace, where can a miscellaneous disciple enter casually.

Glutinous rice carefully pinched the corners of her clothes, completely unsure of what to say. He didn't know where to start with his defense, and he didn't dare to defend it. Because if you want to say something, you must drag Senior Sister Tian Tian, and Nuomi is unwilling to tell Senior Sister about it. If you want him to take all the responsibility on himself, but he can't tell such a lie, he can only shut up.

This is actually the concern of Qingming Zhenren.

For this miscellaneous disciple who dared to step into the Zhenyi Palace, Qingming Zhenren was also quite annoyed. But if you want to punish glutinous rice according to the rules of the mountain gate, you must explain how this miscellaneous disciple entered the Zhenyi Palace, and it will inevitably drag down Tian Tian who brought people into the hall. For that cute-looking and sweet-looking big disciple, Qingming Zhenren is still quite loving, and naturally he doesn't want Tian Tian to be punished in disgrace with him.

If you really want to punish a disciple, even if it is a miscellaneous servant, you have to report it to the mountain gate, but you don't need to use lynching casually.
