Chapter 52: The Ugly Duckling

Hearing Yu Xiaoyun say this, Di Ye and Lan Mu looked at the ugly bird that was gray and not slippery, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was a duck.

Lan Mu was sure that he should go to that black-hearted profiteer to settle accounts!

Yu Xiaoyun regretted a little that she had changed back to a duck egg, and she didn't really want to raise such an ugly duckling.

Di Ye was also very depressed, some of the older brothers and sisters also raised small animals and spirit pets, but no one had ever raised such an ugly duck.

"Why does it keep doing it with me?" Di Ye disliked the ugly duck, but the ugly duck did not dislike him, and wherever he went, it swayed and followed.

Yu Xiaoyun watched Di Ye hide from the side, and the ugly duck followed, and couldn't help laughing: "It treats Ye'er as a father, it is Ye'er's duck son." ”

Di Ye didn't think it was funny at all, and retorted: "The ugly duck was exchanged by you, if I am its father, you will be its mother!" ”

"I don't want it!" Yu Xiaoyun shook his head in disgust.

Even if he got it back, he didn't want such an ugly duck son!

Suddenly, there was a "chirp", and the ugly duck who had just eaten pulled a lump of poop in the center of the room, and the whole room stinked.

Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

The two of them grabbed the ugly duck and gave it to Lan Mu, saying that they would not raise it at all.

Not only does there be a vegetable garden to grow vegetables on Lingshan, Lan Mu also keeps a few pigs and a group of pheasants in captivity.

Lan Mu could have raised the ugly duck with the pheasant, but he decisively refused, and educated them, saying that the duck they exchanged for was responsible for it, and no matter how ugly and dirty it was, it had to be raised.

The two of them took the ugly duck back to the room in a gray way.

In the evening, Lan Mu brought them a wooden basin with a missing opening, filled with half a basin of ash, and asked them to train the ugly duck to pull poop in the wooden basin. If it really doesn't work, wait until this winter, and in the spring of next year, the ducklings will grow up a little bit, and then let them out to breed.

The ugly duck that was catalyzed by spiritual power was quite spiritual, and after being educated a few times, he learned to pull poop in a wooden basin.

When Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun went to take a bath, they also brought the ugly duck and let it wash itself in a basin of cold water.

The room still stinks, and after a few days, the two of them got used to it, and they could endure the smell.

Wherever Di Ye went, the ugly duck quacked after him, unless he was locked in his room and not allowed to get out. When Di Ye took it to Baiweitang for dinner, he was ridiculed by others: "Little junior brother, bring your duck son to eat again!" ”

In just a few days, the gray duckling's coat has become darker and shinier, and it doesn't seem to be so ugly. Di Ye also looked at it more and more pleasing to the eye, and when he was fine, he would tease it and play with it for a while.

Even Yu Xiaoyun didn't dislike the ugliness of this duck, especially after the lizard dragon bird egg hatched, when he saw the uglier dragon bird, and then looked at the gray and black ugly duck, he actually thought it was a little cute.

Not only are the dragonbirds big, ugly, and hoarse, but they also eat only carrion! Yu Xiaoyun was even more disgusted, and did not allow it to enter the room and let it be stocked outside.

A few days later, Lan Mu went to settle accounts with the black-hearted profiteers and brought back another egg. The egg hatched out of a white duckling, just in perfect shape with the original one.

This time, the big boss went down the mountain, and it took almost half a month to return to the mountain, and he came back with the third master Yu Feng, when everyone else slept soundly in the middle of the night.

Early in the morning, the atmosphere on Lingyun Peak was a little heavy. It is said that the eldest master was injured, and the injury was not light, and it was the third master who brought him back and carried him all the way into the room, but no one saw it with their own eyes, and they didn't know if it was true or not.

"If you don't go to practice in the morning, what are you doing here!"

Di Ye tiptoed to the outside of the master's house, knocked on the door, and saw that the door was hidden, so he pushed open a crack and looked inside. Before he saw anything, the door opened from the inside, and he was picked up by the third master.

Di Ye's limbs slashed in the air a few times like a turtle, and he quickly explained: "Third Master, I'm not here to take a peek. I heard that the head master was injured, and the disciples were very worried, and the senior brothers and sisters unanimously asked me to inquire about the situation and see if the head master was better. ”

Knowing that the third master is still there, everyone is afraid of the third master, and even Senior Sister Fei Kite doesn't come to see her father, so she breathes out with everyone's nostrils, coercing and luring him to come alone, it's too treacherous!

Yu Feng threw Di Ye out of the door more than a foot away, turned around to cover the door, and said to him: "The head of the house is fine, but he is too tired and needs to rest for a day or two, don't come to disturb his rest." ”

"Yes." Di Ye got up and answered obediently.

Yu Feng's fierce gaze swept him again, and said sharply: "What are you doing here!" ”

"Disciple grandson, let's go!" Di Ye immediately flashed, so he was not wronged.

Why is the third master so good to the little uncle, and so fierce to him!

Di Ye went back to vent his bitterness with Yu Xiaoyun, Yu Xiaoyun felt sorry for him for a while, and promised him that the master would not be fierce in the future.

Yu Feng went to see Yu Xiaoyun, said a few words to him, and did not take him back to Qingjing Peak, it seemed that he still had urgent things to do, and hurriedly went down the mountain again.

Early the next morning, the head master came out of the room, and as always, he summoned the disciples to check their homework, and it didn't look like he was seriously injured, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that his expression was very serious, no one dared to ask superfluous questions.

At night, Lu Liulin stood on the Lingyun Platform with his hands behind his back, called Di Ye to him, and asked him in a serious tone: "Ye'er, your senior brothers and sisters have already broken through to the stage of enlightenment, and the teacher pressured you to let you break through, so that you were defeated miserably in the competition with Dongcen's disciples, do you feel wronged, have complaints in your heart, blame the master?" ”

Di Ye couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand that the master didn't ask like this.

He replied calmly: "The head master has his own reason for doing this, and the disciple is not wronged, and he does not blame the master." ”

Lu Liulin nodded slightly, turned around, looked at Di Ye, and asked again: "Two years ago, you knocked on the door in the middle of the night to find me, saying that you wanted to become stronger. After two years of extreme training, do you feel like you've gotten stronger? ”

Di Ye nodded and replied, "It's stronger than before, but it's far from enough." ”

"Oh?" Lu Liulin then asked, "According to your understanding, how to become stronger?" ”

Di Ye thought that the master of the sect was very strong, and the third master was stronger than him, but the third master was not the strongest, and there must be someone stronger than the third master. Compared to others, there is no one who is the strongest, only the one who is stronger. Becoming stronger is very much better than yourself. If he had been able to react more accurately and faster that day, he would not have been slapped so much!

After a moment of silence, Di Ye replied: "Becoming stronger is not to be stronger than others, but to break through your own limits, constantly surpass yourself, and be stronger than yourself." ”

Lu Liulin nodded again and said with satisfaction: "Ye'er, you have such a feeling at a young age, and you are very pleased to be a teacher. ”
