Chapter Seventy-Eight: Love Prison (5)

Chu Mo's soft call contained three points of warmth, four points of coquettishness, and three points of expectation of reunion after a long absence. Yun Lingxiu looked at her smiling eyes and was stunned for a moment.

The girl in the aqua blue dress looked at the bamboo forest with a smile, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes were shining. The delicate melon seed face, which has always had a light expression, suddenly became vivid, like spring breeze and rain, warm as the winter sun.

"Friends?" An old man in a coarse cloth robe walked slowly from the depths of the bamboo forest, and his tone implied grievance, "Isn't it my little apprentice-in-law?" Master just tried his skills, and Mo'er felt distressed......"

The voice was vigorous and powerful, but it was transparent and indifferent, and the ridicule of casual remarks made Yun Lingxiu feel a spirit, turned over and stood up from the ground, and bowed hurriedly in the direction of the old man, "Senior!" ”

"Leather boy, this is a little better!" After a few steps, he arrived in front of Yun Lingxiu, as if he was stepping on the wind. He put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, raised his hand and patted Yun Lingxiu's shoulder, and laughed, "Good boy! ”

Yun Lingxiu was slapped by this and instantly relaxed, and only then did he dare to raise his head to look at the old man in front of him.

His deep, earthy skin was wrinkled, his long white beard was tucked together, and he wore a shabby straw hat that exposed his gray hair at the brim. Shi Yu is slightly tall and energetic, and he is carrying a wooden coffin (zhu) and standing there idly.

Casual and leisurely, elegant and graceful.

Although Shi Yu is old, he is not rickety, but lean and upright, and full of energy. He had a broad forehead, thin cheeks, a slightly long chin, and a pair of slanted eyes that were piercing. Yun Lingxiu looked at the person in front of him, and felt unusually familiar and cordial for no reason.

Shi Yu was also looking at Yun Lingxiu. A slight smile flashed in the depths of those deep eyes.

"Master!!" Chu Mo called out in disgust and walked this way.

"Mo'er is beautiful again!" Shi Yu carried the wooden sword and nodded approvingly at Chu Mo.

"Master, this is a lie!" Chu Mo squinted, naturally took the wooden stalk in his hand, and turned around and walked towards the bamboo pavilion.

"When did the teacher deceive Mo'er." With a smile, he picked up the bamboo basket that had just been placed on the ground and threw it to Yun Lingxiu casually, "You kid, you're blessed tonight!" ”

Yun Lingxiu immediately stretched out his hand to catch it, only to see that the bamboo basket was actually filled with clear water, and two fat fish were swimming leisurely in the basket. Not to mention that this bamboo basket can hold water, just pick up and throw it away at will, such a violent shaking, the water inside is not spilled! What kind of terrifying extent has the cultivation of the predecessors of Shi Yu reached, Yun Ling Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

This stunned, the master and apprentice had already walked to the front of the bamboo pavilion. Shiyu pushed open the bamboo curtain door, took off the straw hat and hung it by the door, and said with a smile, "Come in and sit." ”

"Ling Xiu!" Chu Mo greeted the young man who was looking at the bamboo basket not far away, and Yun Lingxiu came back to his senses.

"Ling Xiu......!" Shi Yu repeated these two words in a low voice, as if tossing and turning. He walked towards the bamboo pavilion, but the sound of laughter came clearly, "Yo, I'm worried about my husband!" ”

"The female university is not staying!"

"Master!" Chu Mo put down the wooden stalk and walked inside, his voice was shallow, "If you joke like this again, Mo'er will leave!" ”

"Good, good! Master won't say it! ”

However, Yun Lingxiu was standing outside the bamboo pavilion, his face was slightly red, and he was suddenly at a loss, not knowing where to go.

"Come in!" At this moment, Chu Mo, who was already leaving, poked his head out of the door and said lightly, "Master's words...... I'm embarrassing you! ”

"Don't worry!" Yun Lingxiu waved his hand to explain something, but the fish in the bamboo basket suddenly jumped up, and with a swing of his tail, he shook his face and interrupted his words.

"I'm sorry!" Chu Mo lowered his eyes, and without waiting for Yun Lingxiu to speak, he turned around and walked towards the bamboo pavilion.

It's getting late, and dusk has arrived.

Shi Yu insisted on being in charge of the kitchen, and didn't let Yun Lingxiu and Chu Mo help a little, but drove them out to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, "Go, go!" The withered grass in the mountains is yellow, and the crisp and tender autumn bamboo shoots are fragrant! This autumn bamboo shoot is the best delicacy, so you must stock up on it before the autumn rain comes, don't miss it! “

In the depths of the bamboo forest, Yun Lingxiu followed Chu Mo to brush away the dead leaves one by one and pick up the bamboo inside. The bamboo joints are thorny, the bamboo leaves are swaying, and this digging hoe has quite a flavor.

It didn't take long for me to hear the call of the people in the bamboo pavilion.

"Come, come, come! Come and try Master's craft! After a period of busy work, Shi Yu finally brought out his masterpiece with satisfaction, "Mo'er, come and try it!" ”

The two of them carried the autumn bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket and headed back towards the bamboo pavilion, Chu Mo and Yun Lingxiu washed their hands and headed towards the dining table.

Sure enough, there are already a few dishes on the top, the braised fish is golden and crispy, the roots of the stir-fried autumn bamboo shoots are distinct, and the fish soup is as white as milk and has a strong aroma.

Chu Mo picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised fish, and tasted it carefully for a while, without saying a word.

"Mo'er is talking!" Shiyu waited expectantly for a while, but Chu Mo still didn't say a word, so anxious that he also pulled out his chopsticks and wanted to taste it himself.

"Delicious!" Chu Mo suddenly bent his eyes and gave a thumbs up, "Master has made rapid progress this year!" ”

"Naughty!" Shiyu lovingly knocked Chu Mo's head with chopsticks, and turned to greet Yun Lingxiu, "You sit too!" Let's have dinner! ”

As soon as the two of them sat down, Shi Yu had already taken out a jar of wine from the room, "Come on, come on!" How many years! Finally, someone drank with the old man! ”

The aroma of the wine enters the throat, the autumn bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, the braised fish is fat but not greasy, and the fish soup is delicious and fragrant. It's a very home-cooked dish, but it evokes Yun Lingxiu's memories.

In my memory, it was also such a dusk, my father sat opposite him, served him a bowl of fresh and thick fish soup, and then handed him a bowl of wine. Accompanied by soup and wine, it is practice.

Yun Lingxiu's eyes turned red unconsciously. He finally knew why he was so familiar and friendly when he first met him. The senior in front of him, who has never met before, has similar contours of his eyebrows and eyes to his father.

"Eh, your pendant is unique!" At this moment, Shi Yu's words interrupted Yun Lingxiu's thoughts, "Can you take a look?" ”

Yun Lingxiu lowered his head to see that the fallen demon pendant on his waist was hanging out of his robe. Chu Mo also looked this way, expecting that no one in this world knew the origin of this seemingly ordinary pendant, so Yun Lingxiu untied the pendant and respectfully handed it to Shi Yu.

"This pendant is a fetish! How do you get it! Unexpectedly, Shi Yu took a look at the pendant and said.

"This is something that the younger generation unintentionally obtained in the deep valley of the nameless island." Yun Ling Xiu said sincerely, "Seniors know this pendant? ”

Knowing that the deep valley that Yun Ling said was the place where he fell and died in the Heavenly Trial, Chu Mo frowned.

"When I was young, I didn't want to look at it!" Shi Yu still rubbed the pendant in his hand with a face full of surprise, and said with a smile, "You kid can get this pendant, but it can make up for the disadvantages of not having a golden pill in the body, and it is also a chance to practice Baili." ”

"How do the seniors know that the juniors don't have a golden pill?" Yun Lingxiu exclaimed.

"When I first saw you, I knew it when I hit you." Shi Yu smiled, "Has the pendant ever been used?" ”

"I've had a try!" Yun Lingxiu said calmly, "The younger generation is dull and has not been able to penetrate its mysteries, and now it is still limited to the first order. ”

"This pendant ......" Chu Mo put down his chopsticks and looked at Yun Lingxiu seriously, "Is it really so magical?" ”

"Yes......" Yun Lingxiu looked at Chu Mo and nodded, "I have already used it last time I played against your senior brother." ”

Recalling Yun Lingxiu's extraordinary performance in the third test of Qingtian, although Chu Mo had doubts, he also nodded and stopped asking.

"There's no need to rush!" Shi Yu patted Yun Lingxiu's shoulder and said with a smile, "It just so happens that the old man has a trick here that can help you cultivate!" ”

"Senpai!" Yun Lingxiu's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Shiyu to show his gratitude.
