Chapter 24: Master's Devil Training
Bai Xiaoqi timidly looked at Yun Ze Zhenren, whose face was pale, and stood in place and didn't dare to say a word.
"What's going on? What's going on with this bowl of noodles? Yun Ze Zhenren was trembling angrily, pointing to the flour and vegetable leaves in the room and asked menacingly.
"The kitchen was destroyed by us and couldn't cook. But we really want to repay Master for taking us in, and we want to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Master with our own hands, we made many portions of noodles, and finally picked the most successful bowl for you, just hope you can be happy. Master, we know it's wrong, we must clean up this place......" Bai Xiaoqi looked at Yun Ze Zhenren with an aggrieved face, and sincerely apologized.
Yun Ze Zhenren silently recited in his heart: "This is a pro-apprentice, this is a pro-apprentice, they are all collected by themselves......" Yun Ze Zhenren looked at Bai Xiaoqi's appearance, and instantly lost any anger, and after taking a long breath, he said in a deep voice: "Clean up this place, and don't come in again in the future!" Then he walked out with his dragon pattern Xiaoding in his arms.
Bai Xiaoqi and the three of them silently cleaned up the alchemy room and went back to their respective rooms. The three of them worked all night and didn't eat anything, but for them who couldn't even eat before, this hunger was nothing.
Bai Xiaoqi took out the box of osmanthus cakes that Qin Yu bought for him, went out, and came to Qin Yu's room to get a few pieces for him. I came to Hachi's room again, and I saw Hachi carving something out of wood, and when I saw Hachi, I hurriedly hid the things in my hand.
"What are you doing?" Bai Xiaoqi saw the things in Xiao Ba's hand, and couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw him hiding in a panic. "I've seen it all, don't hide it!"
Xiaoba looked at Bai Xiaoqi and shook his head, but didn't take out the things to show her. This is when he went down the mountain this time to find a craftsman who can carve to learn, and he begged for several days before he was willing to teach him, and Xiao Ba didn't want to show Xiao Qi before he finished it.
Xiao Qi saw that he didn't mean to take it out, so he didn't force it anymore. Just muttered, "You've been getting weirder and weirder lately!" Then he took out the only five pieces of dim sum left and handed it to Xiao Ba, "Well, this is the osmanthus cake that Qin Yu bought, and you didn't eat anything at night, so I'll give it to you!" ”
Xiaoba looked at the osmanthus cake and was stunned, and when he heard Bai Xiaoqi say that Qin Yu bought it, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and didn't plan to ask for her osmanthus cake.
Seeing that Xiao Hachi didn't want it, Xiao Qi was a little worried about him, so he walked to Xiao Hachi's side and sat down, "Have you had anything on your mind lately, how do I think you have changed as a person since you came back from the mountain, and I always feel that you have something to hold in your heart." ”
A hint of emotion flashed in Hachi's eyes, and then he shook his head, signaling that he was fine.
"It's okay, then I'll eat with you, don't starve you!" Bai Xiaoqi took out a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Xiaoba's mouth, and took out a piece to eat himself.
Xiaoba took a bite of the osmanthus cake and smiled happily, looking at Bai Xiaoqi's eyes full of happiness. Xiao Qi was nagging beside him, talking about some of the things that happened on the mountain these days when Xiao Ba and Qin Yu were away. Hachi just listened quietly, looking at her with a gentle smile.
In the middle of the moon, the two of them ate the osmanthus cake in the box, and they were both a little sleepy, Bai Xiaoqi and Xiaoba said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the house. When he was about to walk to his door, he saw Yun Ze Zhenren who had just returned from washing the dragon pattern ding. He called softly, "Master." ”
Yun Ze Zhenren stopped when he heard the sound, stood there and looked at Bai Xiaoqi with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
"Master, I'm sorry, today is your birthday, we shouldn't make you angry......" Bai Xiaoqi walked over and apologized to Yun Ze.
"It's okay, this is also the most memorable birthday I've ever had, how can I be angry if you are so attentive!" Yun Ze Zhenren smiled softly, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Bai Xiaoqi's hair, "It's just that don't use my dragon pattern tripod to cook in the future, do you know how hard it took me to wash it!" ”
"I know the master's ......" Bai Xiaoqi playfully stuck out his tongue and happily agreed. As long as the master doesn't get angry with himself, it's fine.
"Go to sleep, it's getting late!" Yun Ze smiled and urged Xiao Qi to go to bed quickly, but at this moment, by the candlelight at the door, Yun Ze Zhenren saw the white residue on the corner of Bai Xiaoqi's mouth, so he reached out to wipe it off for her. "Look at you, what is this eating, how did you get it everywhere?"
"The osmanthus cake that Qin Yu brought back to me." Bai Xiaoqi smiled embarrassedly.
"Does Xiao Qi like osmanthus cake?" Yun Ze Zhenren looked at Bai Xiaoqi, and there seemed to be a sea of stars flashing in his eyes.
"Well, yes! Master, it's not early, I'm going to sleep! Bai Xiaoqi nodded, then turned around to say goodbye to Yun Ze, and ran like a house.
Yun Ze watched Bai Xiaoqi's departing figure, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and an idea slowly sprouted in his heart.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoqi got up and found that Qin Yu and Xiaoba had already gotten up. When he had nothing to do, he sat at the stone table in the courtyard and habitually studied the chess game.
Qin Yu was looking for exercises suitable for his cultivation in the study, and Xiao Ba was called by Yun Ze Zhenren to clean the room.
Xiaoba was cleaning, and found that there was an azure purse on the ground, so he picked it up, looked at the two colorful things embroidered on it, and observed for a long time and didn't see what was embroidered, thinking that this master's vision is too unique, and such an ugly thing will be worn on his body. Just as he was thinking this, the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang", and he saw Yun Ze Zhenren running in in a panic, looking around, as if he was looking for something.
Bai Xiaoba saw Yun Ze Zhenren's nervous look as if he understood what he was looking for, and handed the purse in his hand to Yun Ze Zhenren.
Yun Ze Zhenren saw the purse, breathed a sigh of relief, happily took it, and praised Xiaoba by the way, "Well, yes, it's clean!" ”
Bai Xiaoba looked at the back of Yun Ze Zhenren leaving a little uncertainly, thinking that it was just a purse, why was it so important?
Yun Ze Zhenren disappeared for a day and didn't know where he went, so Xiao Qi and the three of them each found exercises to practice. Bai Xiaoqi's sea of qi has recovered as before, but the injured arm is incurable, and from now on she can only use her left hand to make a sword, but she has not slackened at all, and she still practices seriously and hard every day. Xiao Hachi's sea of qi is also slowly recovering, and now he can gather a little aura. Everything is going in a good direction.
In the evening, Yun Ze Zhenren came back, and he asked him to ask Xiao Qi to go to her room to find him. Bai Xiaoqi went with a puzzled face, only to see Yun Ze Zhenren sitting there, looking at a book, sipping tea, and a plate of white pastries on the table in front of him. Seeing Xiao Qi coming, he said to her: "I'll go to Junxiu Peak, Senior Brother Yunming has to give me this osmanthus cake, I don't like to eat it, you eat it for me!" ”
"Thank you, Master!" Bai Xiaoqi thanked him, and then reached out to take the pastry away.
Yun Ze Zhenren stopped Xiao Qi after seeing him: "Just eat here, don't take it!" ”
Bai Xiaoqi retracted his hand when he heard this, and after glancing at Yun Ze Zhenren, he took out a piece and put it in his mouth and ate it in small bites.
"How is my brother's craftsmanship?" Yun Ze Zhenren looked at Bai Xiaoqi and asked tentatively.
"Mmmm, it's delicious, it's much better than what Qin Yu got back!" Bai Xiaoqi smiled happily, this osmanthus cake is really delicious.
"Hmph, gluttonous cat!" Yun Ze Zhenren glanced at Bai Xiaoqi, and then continued to read, Bai Xiaoqi, who was only concerned about eating, did not notice the smug smile on the corner of Yun Ze Zhenren's mouth.
Within a few days of quiet days, Yun Ze Zhenren suddenly arranged devilish training for the three of them. Because they still have a three-year covenant to fulfill. This also determines where they will stay in three years!
On this day, Yun Ze Zhenren called the three of them to his side and asked them about their recent situation.
"Xiao Qi, how is your sea of qi recovering?"
"It's basically recovered."
Yun Ze Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiao Hachi, "What about yours?" ”
"Not completely, but gathering." Hachi wrote on the ground with a twig.
Yun Ze Zhenren looked at them and then said: "It's not bad, but you also know that in three years, it will be the big competition of the sect, if you can't enter the top five, you will have to leave the Taiqing Sect." So, if you don't want to leave, I hope you will work hard in the next few years! ”
Bai Xiaoqi and the three of them nodded solemnly when they heard this. Master gave them a home, where all the good things are cherished the most in their lives, and they are willing to defend their lives here with everything.
"I think no matter what you are good at, others should also be learned, everything in the world complements each other, sometimes a little more will not become a burden to you, but will give you the greatest help when necessary, Xiao Qi is a good example." Yun Ze Zhenren paused, and then said, "Then let's start!" ”
There was a huge waterfall on the side of Junxiu Peak, and Yun Ze Zhenren brought the three of them to the waterfall and said to them: "From today on, you will stand under this waterfall for me every morning to practice my physique for two hours a day. I'm telling you what to do then, I'm going to be here watching you, but don't try to be lazy with me! ”
Xiao Qisan was afraid of the huge waterfall, and just listening to the deafening sound made them tremble, let alone stand underneath. But because it was the master's order, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the waterfall step by step with heavy steps.
The three of them took off their coats and came to the bottom of the waterfall wearing only a thin middle coat. The cold water made the three of them shrink their necks, but before they could stand firm, the huge impact rushed at them. The flowing water slapped mercilessly on them, and at first they could feel the pain like a lightning strike, but the longer they persisted, the more numb they became, and in the end, only the impact of the flowing water left them to shake in place.
After a while, Bai Xiaoqi couldn't support it a little, and fell into the water, Bai Xiaoqi struggled in the water, choking on several mouthfuls of water. Finally, I swam to the shore with all my strength and walked towards the waterfall again.
