Chapter 9 Harvesting the Little Cranes
After passing the letter to the beloved disciple Ling Xiaozi, the Void Daoist began to arrange the follow-up schedule of the new disciple competition, considering that next month was the regular Spirit Hunting Festival of the Qingyu Gate, it was not good to delay too much in the newcomer competition.
The Spirit Hunting Festival is a traditional activity of the Qingyumen, and every year in March, the disciples of the sect have to go down the mountain in small groups to hunt demon beasts, one is to let the disciples have an understanding of their own strength, and the other is to strengthen the tacit understanding and unity between the same sect.
The demon beasts on the mainland are widely distributed, and there is no specific place for the spirit hunt, and each group of disciples can choose their own targets, and they can return to the sect with the loot after a month. When all the disciples return to the sect, the head of the sect will fulfill a wish of the best group according to the number and level of monsters hunted by everyone.
Cultivating to a profound immortal is a promise of a thousand gold, and a promise is hard to find. Of course, the premise of this wish is that it cannot violate moral laws, and everyone knows this.
The head thought about it for a long time, and decided to put the postponed rookie game on these two days to continue, and the two little ghosts with single spirit roots on the left and right have already finished the competition, and I think there should be no more mistakes in the follow-up game.
Relying on the little boy beside the Xudao people to get the order, hurry down to inform the time of the follow-up rookie competition, the little boy is smart and clever, and after a while, a bunch of messenger paper cranes were released.
After the little boy finished his business, he took a plate of pastries, ready to send it to the head to satisfy his hunger, the little boy walked steadily with the tray, and when he arrived at the door of the head room, he happened to meet the two of Ming Shuang Yunting who came to the door.
The empty underworld was born with a peerless appearance, and with a white dress and a snow, he was even more out of the dust. Lingxiaozi is much softer than the previous one, although he is also dressed in white, he has his own three points of temperature, and he is more like a personable son of a family than a cold immortal.
The little boy who was accustomed to seeing the wind and waves around the head of the house couldn't help but beat faster when he saw the two beautiful men, especially the two little pear vortices on Ling Xiaozi's mouth when he laughed, which made the child dizzy.
"See, I've seen two immortal elders." The little boy saluted with the tray, and his hands shook unintentionally because of the nervousness in his heart, and the pastries folded in the shape of a regular hill were a little crooked.
Mingshuang helped the little boy and said, "No need to be polite, is it convenient for the master and his old man now?" ”
"The head of the club has just finished arranging the rookie competition, and now he is free." The little boy lowered his head and said, feeling that there was a small flame burning from the little hand touched by Ling Xiaozi to his face. As the head of the sect, he hadn't seen Ling Xiaozi before, but he always felt that this immortal chief had become extraordinarily kind after being injured.
Mingshuang had a big heart, and he didn't notice anything wrong, so the little uncle looked at the little boy with a cold face, and the three of them entered the house in turn.
Seeing his beloved apprentice and his little junior brother, he knew that the gossip about love and hatred between juniors that had recently gone viral was finally coming to light, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, but he quickly asked the two to sit down first according to his curiosity.
The head cleared his throat and asked, "Is there anything that the teacher asked you to investigate?" ”
Mingshuang, who was taught by his uncle's cleverness, replied: "If you go back to your master, the apprentice went to the new disciple's residence with the little uncle and saw a junior brother with a head injury. ”
"Huh? There is really such a person, as a teacher, I have always heard that new disciples have fought because of emotional disputes in the past few days, and it seems that it is true to hear Ling Xiaozi say this. The Void Daoist said with a frown, looking very serious.
Mingshuang and Uncle Xiao didn't see the emotional dispute in the palm of their hands, but they only knew that there were two children who couldn't see the right eyes and implicated others. Speaking of which, Mingshuang's "rival in love" is likely to be the "emotional dispute" that the master said......
Mingshuang estimated the true content of the secret words almost perfectly, glanced at the little uncle, and said after receiving the signal from the uncle: "That junior brother was injured not because he was involved in any Fengyue matter, but he was unlucky to meet the group of new disciples who were incompatible in the previous game, and he was affected by some damage before he injured his head." ”
The Void Daoist was silent for a moment, he felt very bored when he knew the truth behind the rumors, and muttered in his heart that the younger generations knew that they were spreading rumors, and he couldn't help frowning again.
Where did Mingshuang know the delicate psychological activities of the Void Daoist, seeing that his master's eyebrows were twisted together, and his face was not very good, it was probably because he wanted to punish the little ghost who caused trouble.
Uncle Xiao, who had been silent, said: "Newcomers don't understand the rules, and they still need to hone when they are hunting." ”
The boss who felt that he had been fooled thought that this was a good idea, so he simply put aside the previous oolong matter, and began to discuss matters related to the Spirit Hunting Festival with the two of them.
According to the seniority, Yun Ting can not participate in the spirit hunt, but the head of the house thinks that the good boy should go out to play more, and Ling Xiaozi is seriously injured and has just recovered, so it is more appropriate to have someone as a companion if he really wants to hunt demon beasts.
With a wave of his hand, the master of the Void Daoist said undoubtedly: "This year, Lingjia will have to bother the little junior brother to take care of Lingxiaozi. ”
As soon as he learned that the Lingjia Festival was a mandatory activity of the Qingyumen, Mingshuang had not had time to worry, when he heard the master order his uncle to accompany him, and immediately felt that he was really considerate as a master.
After chatting a few more trivial matters, the head of the house sent his little brother and beloved apprentice away under the pretext of resting, picked up the pastries that had been on the table for a long time and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Don't look at it, if you look at my apprentice's back, I'll have to make a hole for you." The man glanced at the little boy with straight eyes behind him.
"Hey, Ah Jiu just feels like a spring breeze every time he sees Lingxiaozi Immortal." The little boy Ah Jiu sighed and said, seeing that the figures of the two had completely disappeared, he lowered his eyes in some disappointment.
Relying on the Void Dao, the people could understand that the little boys admired the young and promising disciples, but they didn't know why Ah Jiu liked him more as a disciple, so he asked: "When it comes to appearance and qualifications, the Empty Immortal is unparalleled in the world, why don't you little boys like him?" ”
Most of the young children in the Qingyu Gate are transformed into cranes with spiritual intelligence, and they have a docile temperament and are loyal and caring to their relatives, making them essential companions for monks to travel at home. After all, they are not ordinary stupid birds, and this group of crane boys also pays attention to aesthetics in choosing their masters, and in general, they tend to follow good-looking and mild-tempered monks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are superficial and face-seeking.
Ah Jiu felt that there was some truth in the words of the master, according to the taste of their immortal cranes, the appearance of the Empty Immortal Son was indeed worth following, but there were very few little boys who took the initiative to petition to go to the Empty Immortal Peak. He thought for a long time before he spoke: "The Immortal Elder of the Void is the star Haoyue hanging outside the clouds, and the Immortal Elder of the Lingxiao Seed is a pear blossom in the spring breeze and drizzle. The stars and the moon are shining, but we love the beauty around us even more. ”
"That's a beautiful thing to say, but it's not a good idea to compare people to pear blossoms." The head of the house sent another piece of pastry to his mouth and said, "Have the time to read more poems and books, don't circulate any fairy cranes all day long." ”
"How can the head of the family even know the storybook between the little boys......" Ah Jiu said helplessly, and he didn't know why the solemn and serious head in front of people always liked to inquire about these trivial things behind his back, what a gossip!
The person coughed twice, and said with a serious face: "There is nothing in the Qingyumen that I don't know. "After speaking, I know if there is anyone to take care of Lingxiaozi Immortal." Ah Jiu made a voice eager to change jobs, and his eyes continued to indicate the master.
With the false Taoist pastry into the throat pain, thinking that the crane doll that started from the bird's egg and brought it up with one hand actually said that it would change its mind, and the object of the change of heart was still its own apprentice, which was a shame.
"You, if you really admire Ling Xiaozi, go find him......" The head said this, but in his heart he was thinking about how much Ah Jiu might leave, so they have been together for so many years, as the saying goes, doesn't it say that one day is the master from one hundred days.
Xiao Ah Jiu shed tears, and thought that this guy had repented of his conscience and didn't plan to leave, but he didn't expect Ah Jiu to kneel and kowtow in the next second, and a string of words of gratitude came out of his mouth, and then he ran away without a trace.
The speed and efficiency are so fast that the head can't help but sigh that he is worthy of being the crane he pulled up by his own hands, and even the rebellion is so simple and decisive.
On the Sky Peak, Mingshuang and Uncle Xiao had just arrived near the courtyard, and they unexpectedly saw the little boy who had just said goodbye to the head of the house chatting with the little boy at the door of Uncle Shi's house with a burden on his back.
"This man really looks like a little boy from the master's family." Mingshuang leaned into Uncle Shi's ear and whispered.
Uncle Xiao rolled his eyes, walked to the door and casually asked the two boys a few words, then turned to Mingshuang and said, "Senior brother in charge asked Ah Jiu to serve you, Ah Qi who guards the door of our family is a relative born in the same nest as Ah Jiu." ”
Ah Jiu's face was slightly red and he saluted Mingshuang: "Ah Jiu has seen the Immortal Chief, and from now on, Ah Jiu will definitely take care of the Immortal Chief wholeheartedly." ”
Mingshuang saw that Uncle Xiao didn't have any special reaction, and transferred Ah Qi to clean up in the inner courtyard, so he happily accepted the cheap boy who was white.
Seeing that Ah Qi took Ah Jiu to the room to release the salute, Mingshuang said to the little uncle: "I thought that the senior uncle would not agree to let Ah Jiu be my personal boy." ”
"Why not? Wouldn't it be good to find an exclusive crane for your flightless pig? Uncle Xiao said indifferently, "Anyway, their little boys like people just like wild fruits and mountain streams, and they don't pose any threat." ”
Whenever Mingshuang thinks he knows Uncle Xiao, he will be smashed dumbfounded by a blow on the head, and if you think about it carefully, Uncle Shi's "jealous" behavior seems to be just aimed at him and the heroine......
Could it be that Uncle Cheng knows something? Otherwise, how could he be hostile to a little girl for no reason.
At this time, Mingshuang, who was big and sluggish, finally thought of his roommate who ate a pack of potato chips with him, if it was said that eating potato chips poisoned caused him to cross, then roommate Cheng Yu was also likely to travel to the world in this book.
Combined with the unlucky experience of the uncle in the original book, if it is really the uncle in front of him who really crossed over, then it is not difficult to understand that he is targeting the heroine.
Mingshuang saw that Uncle Xiao's eyes were more probing, and he said tentatively: "Ahem, is it difficult for a fairy?" ”
"Where did the fairy come from?" Yun Ting rolled his eyes and said, "Which female cultivator did you sneak out and hook up with?" Or are you thinking about the Ling Qiqi who broke the human head? ”
Uncle Xiao's words did reveal his dislike for Ling Qiqi, but he really didn't have any special reaction to "fairy is difficult", and Mingshuang couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Since Uncle Shi is not Cheng Yu, then his kindness to himself is really just a simple friendship with the original owner Ling Xiaozi.
Although Mingshuang had long been aware of the deep affection of Uncle Xiao for Lingxiaozi, this idea was confirmed again, and he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and he always felt that he was wearing Lingxiaozi's vest and stealing what should have belonged to the original owner.
