The September night was only slightly cooler than the scorching heat, and the outside of the temple was still filled with the sound of frogs and birds struggling at the end of their lives.

Master sat on the momentum stool with a cup of tea in his hand.

And I'm still unsatisfied, this story has just entered the main line, and Master won't tell it, isn't this a living appetite?

"Master, and then? Why don't you talk about it? Go on. ”

Raising his head, he drank the tea directly: "What? Wasn't enough to give you an afternoon? Dao Ye, my throat is on fire. ”

I smiled, "Didn't you just taste it?" Speaking of which, what about your little girlfriends, Master? Where have they gone? ”

Also, it's rare that Master has had Yaxing talk for so long today.

Master's eyes were full of gloom and regret, and he looked at me steadily: "Look at the providence, you may know later." ”

In the past few months, Master has been filled with this kind of gaze from time to time, and I don't like to face this kind of gaze, so I quickly changed the topic: "Master, you are tired after saying that you are also tired all afternoon, I will go and copy two dishes, let's have two drinks?" ”

I actually don't drink alcohol, what should I do if it affects our growing height?

"Okay, even if you have a conscience, forget about the drinks, it's not too early, you haven't seen your parents when you come back this time, right?" Master refused the request to drink.

I was going to make Master drunk to see if I could get him to continue to confide something, but I had to give up when I heard this.

After dinner, Master and I went to bed early, one of us was a little tired from listening to it, and the other was a little tired from what I was talking about now.

Master was lying in his bedroom, frowning, his eyes closed, and muttering with some nightmares: "Uncle Lin... Master... Xin'er..."

.....

said goodbye to the master early, carried the bag, took Wang Xiaoling with him, and returned home along the trail that had been walked for more than ten years.

After all, she is a ghost, and she is a child who has not grown up, so it is not good to stay in the Taoist temple all the time.

Standing at the door of the house is a little hesitant, even if it is only a short week since the last time I left home, but the wanderer, there is always a feeling of timidity in the hometown.

Pull out the key and quietly open the door.

He took a deep breath to calm the complexity in his heart: "Mom, Daddy, I'm back!" ”

There was a sparse sound in three rooms of the room.

"Son?"

"Baby?"

"Baby grandson?"

Mom, Dad, and Grandpa's voices rang out in several rooms in the courtyard at the same time.

Hearing this familiar and friendly voice, I quickly suppressed the excitement in my heart.

"It's me, get something to eat." I slid into the room.

"Son, why did you come back today?"

"Oh, there's something going on at that school, a few days off."

I thought it was okay, but my mother was wary.

"Something? What could make school off, you weren't hurt, were you? ”

I sucked the noodles and slurred in my mouth: "What can happen to me, it's really not, it's just that it's hard to say what happened at school." ”

The mother is becoming more and more protective of the calf: "No, no, I will check if there are any scars when I finish eating and stripping naked, I will see who dares to touch my son!" "Mom's face is irritable.

In fact, there was still a lot of school violence in those days.

I choked: "Mom, I really didn't, a group of little kids who moved me, it's just.... It's just haunted. ”

"Oh—that's her"

With that, I released Wang Xiaoling.

"Ahh Mom screamed.

I was so frightened by this scream that I was trembling, and I was eating noodles with questions: "This Wang Xiaoling is sweet even if she is a ghost, why does she make my mother so afraid." ”

"Mom, don't be afraid...... the groove. Before he could finish speaking, he quickly pulled Wang Xiaoling into the bag that was still on the stool.

I said to Wang Xiaoling angrily: "What are you doing, who made you look like this?" Scare my mother again, and let you go to the reincarnation of the beast path now. ”

It turned out that Wang Xiaoling didn't know when she became what she looked like when she died.

"It's tiring to be cute." Wang Xiaoling was a little aggrieved.

"Then I don't care about you, if you're so skinny, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Oh......"

The old mother was holding her heart on the side, sitting there panting with palpitations, the father and grandfather didn't care, the two masters even lay on the recliner and teased: "Ning Zhu, you can't be brave, quietly serve as a husband, calm and relaxed." ”

It was reasonable, my mother didn't dare to refute my grandfather's ridicule, but my own man must still be able to live down, walked forward, and grabbed my father's ear: "Okay, you, you're capable, you've learned to write crepe, right?"

When she turned to face me, my mother was kind again: "My son hasn't eaten enough, right?" Why don't you want Mom to make you another bowl? ”

It is said that there is a kind of care called grandparents' care, called "not enough", no matter how much you eat, you are not full.

It can't be my mother's menopause, right? Although my mother looks quite young now, but after all, the age is there, isn't it?

"Mom, it's only morning, a big bowl of noodles is enough, and raising a son is not a pig."

My mother smiled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for me: "Look at what you kid said." ”

........

After chatting with my mother, I wanted to go to Zhao Tiezhu to play, but I was called by my grandfather, the baby at home, the business is busy.

"What's the matter, grandpa."

Speaking of grandpa, I have always felt that this old man has always been mysterious, never let me know his name, and I don't know anything about grandpa's previous stories.

"Grandson, I see that your temperament has changed recently, what realm are you in now?" Grandpa asked.

Speaking of the realm, I suddenly became proud: "The poor Dao has now reached the realm of refining and refining qi, how is it, at such a young age, it is still terrifying?" ”

I held my head high and looked proud.

Grandpa looked at me in surprise: "Refining and refining qi? Not bad, yes, barely passing. ”

When I heard my grandfather's words, I was like a defeated rooster, so I moved a stool and sat down next to my grandfather: "I feel like I'm so good now, can I barely pass?" ”

And the grandfather leaned back on the recliner: "What are you, you have more refining and refining qi, you have just started, and the lame Wang in the next village is estimated to be able to reach this state in his lifetime." “

Damn, don't say I don't know, is the realm of feelings so bad? I boasted about it in front of the iron pillar for a long time.

"No, grandpa, do you also know about the cultivation world?"

Grandpa shook the hand of the pu fan and paused: "Of course I don't understand, it's all what your master told me." ”

"By the way, baby, how is it at school, have you learned anything?"

When I mentioned school, I didn't get excited: "Grandpa, why do you want to study, our family is not short of money, and I will probably not live in the circle of mortals in the future, right?" ”

Grandpa gave me a blank look like an old naughty boy: "Reading is not to let you have any advantage in this, but to let you understand some truths, to learn how the current knowledge explains the universe, and ....."

I looked at Grandpa, waiting for him and.

"And the daughter-in-law in the school is easy to find, when I go to college, I quickly look for a granddaughter-in-law, Lao Tzu still wants to report his grandson, four generations in the same house!"

I'm choked by thunder, I'm only 12 years old, and I'm thinking about reporting my grandson, am I going to fall out of favor?

"Ahem... That, grandpa, it's early, it's early. ”

Grandpa didn't care about this: "You kid won't be afraid that you won't be able to find it, right?" ”

What kind of words is this, we are handsome, our family is rich, and people have skills, how can we not find it?

I was not convinced: "Can't find it? How is it possible, wait, when the time comes, I will marry you ten granddaughters-in-law and come back. ”

"Yo, have you learned to brag? Then you're in your second year of junior high school, why don't you find one? Grandpa, when I was your age, we were already married. ”

I felt a little angry: "Is that what I don't want to find?" Those little girls in their early teens generally don't even have their facial features open, so what's there to see. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that I had been tricked, and sure enough, my grandfather was looking at me with a wicked smile: "Okay, okay, my grandson can have this idea." ”

"I'm just afraid that if you follow that Taoist priest's cultivation, you won't pay attention to Hongchen."

Speaking of Master, I had the heart to gossip: "Impossible, grandpa, let me tell you, Master's old pervert will seduce other people's girls when he is my age, really, I just told me yesterday." ”

Grandpa was stunned: "Is this true?" So why don't you learn a little? ”

My heart was galloping by again, and my grandfather didn't doubt whether the master was a Taoist priest for the first time, but asked me to learn a little.

"Can I be so shameless?"

Trouble, grandpa still added seriously: "Play and play, don't be wasted by your secular daughter, Ningwai For this secular woman, it's okay to play, remember not to be distracted." ”

I don't know if I misunderstood, grandpa is asking me to play with others? This and that.

"Then I'm not a brute, right?"

"You don't understand, on the way to cultivation, the Dharma and wealth will not be perfect without any of them, and the worldly woman is not worthy of you first, and second, she can't be your Taoist companion without cultivation."

This sounds a little familiar, as if Master had said something similar.

"Then why don't I just take her to practice?"

Grandpa continued: "If it was a few hundred years ago, maybe it would have been possible, but now there are still a few places in the Heaven and Earth for cultivation except for those few positions? Without the Dao system, there would be no Master to make the Natal Dao Seal for you, and without the Natal Dao Seal, you would not be able to receive Lingqi from that place to cultivate. ”

It turns out that Daoyin still has this purpose.

"Where?" I asked.

"Uh... You'll find out about this later. ”

Yes, the whole family, including the master, is always hanging my appetite, always talking about the future.

I was a little angry: "Then why can I always tell me if I can practice at home?" ”
