Chapter 421: Advice and Apprenticeship
Tianyou, who almost starved to death, discovered a very miraculous phenomenon - it turns out that hunger and satiety can occur at the same time. After killing the 7th roast chicken, Tianyou reluctantly put down the chicken leg in his hand. Reason told him that his stomach was already strong and he couldn't eat anymore, but he didn't know why he still felt so hungry. However, Tianyou, who has a worry-free bag, does have an advantage in the point that he can't eat and walk around, so he packed enough dinner for twenty people to take back to eat.
If there is a big rice bucket like him in another place, it is estimated that he will definitely be watched. However, in the cafeteria of Zixiao Palace, this kind of thing is really commonplace. Although the monks can learn the art of Bigu after reaching a certain level of cultivation, most of them will not go to Bigu at all, but will happily enjoy the food. However, considering that it is indeed possible that you will not be able to move for half a month when you break through the retreat or study the exercises, and the digestive system function of the monks is indeed so strong that it is perverted, there are often such gluttonous eaters who eat a large meal of ten people in one breath in the canteen of Zixiao Palace.
After eating and drinking, Tianyou returned to the cave, and the time was just right. After inquiring about Moon Shadow, he learned that there was no unstable aura supply during this time, and Moon Shadow had been carefully watching the aura supply in the cave since Tianyou left, so it was impossible for Moon Shadow to ignore the abnormal fluctuations because of Moon Shadow's distraction.
Based on the experience of the past few days, since it was stable before, there will inevitably be fluctuations in the unitary time. So Tianyou and Moon Shadow went to the unfinished Cave Heaven Blessed Land together and began to wait, hoping to find some anomalies. However...... waited until the second half of the night, but the aura in the cave blessed land has been weirdly without any problems, which makes Tianyou feel a little strange.
"Master, are you sure that the situation you said will really occur every day?" Because he had not felt the abnormality of the Spirit Spring Core, Moon Shadow did not know what Tianyou was talking about.
In fact, Tianyou was also very puzzled, when he was refining the Xuanling Treasure Mirror at the artificial spirit spring before, it was clear that the thing had to come to such an abnormal state several times a day, but today I don't know why, there was no problem once.
Tianyou, who couldn't figure it out, had no choice but to give up in the end, after all, according to experience, the artificial spirit spring would not have problems after dark.
A little stupid, Tianyou was about to give up paying attention to the Lingquan core and rest early, but Moon Shadow saw his disappointment, so he said, "Why don't we go to the depths of the rift and take a look?"
Tianyou thought that it wouldn't be far anyway, so let's take a look, so the two of them followed the crack to the cave where the core of the spiritual spring was located before. The difference is that it was Zhenyuan Shangxian who brought him here before, and he appeared in the Lingquan core disk openly, but this time it was sneaky, and the position he entered was not near the Lingquan core, but behind the Lingquan core.
At this time, there was no one guarding around the core of Lingquan, and there would be no guards here on weekdays. Tianyou boldly stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the spiritual spring core in the distance, it was running smoothly like that, without the slightest change. Tianyou, who didn't expect to find anything, asked Moon Shadow to take a few looks, and after making sure that Moon Shadow didn't see anything wrong, he planned to end the observation there. This is forbidden land after all, and if it is discovered, it will be over.
However, just as the two of them turned to leave, Tianyou suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Moon Shadow, and then found that Moon Shadow was also looking at him. In the next second, the two of them looked back at the Lingquan core together, and right there, the Lingquan core was flashing with an unstable light, and then completely fell silent and lost all reactions. The aura in the cave also began to dissipate rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the aura concentration was less than thirty percent.
"This ...... It turned out that something really went wrong. It was the first time that Moon Shadow had discovered this situation, and she was naturally very surprised in her heart, after all, she had never heard of the Spirit Spring Core having its own flame-out.
Tianyou has been numb these days, and just asked Moon Shadow, "Do you know what's going on?"
Moon Shadow paused for a moment before shaking his head and said, "If you get closer to the past and open the formation diagram to study carefully, you may be able to find out what the problem is, but you really can't see the reason for it alone." ”
Tianyou also hoped to help Zhenyuan Shangxian, but he was not too urgent. Since Moon Shadow said no, he also gave up the idea of repaying Zhenyuan to the Immortals.
"Forget it, it's not our problem anyway. Let's go, let's go back first. ”
Moon Shadow nodded and turned to follow Tianyou back, quickly approaching their Cave Heaven Blessed Land. However, when Tianyou turned the last corner, he was stunned. Moon Shadow was about to ask what was going on, but Tianyou quickly turned around and made a silent gesture to her, and then moved cautiously forward, gradually approaching the entrance of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, where a stone door had completely sealed their Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and the dense golden runes on it were shining with a faint aura.
This door was added by God and themselves, and it is part of that camouflage system, and of course it is also a linkage activation. When someone stepped into the teleportation array outside the Heavenly Blessing Cave Mansion, the linkage magic circle would quickly close the two stone doors in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. One of them is to isolate the Cave Heaven Blessed Land from the Cave Mansion, on the one hand, it is to conceal camouflage, and on the other hand, it is to seal the aura below to prevent excessive spiritual energy from flowing into the cave and causing people to be alert. The stone gate in front of him is between the cave heaven blessed land and the mountain crack behind it, and its function is to isolate the cave where the cave heaven blessed land is located and the cave where the core of the spiritual spring is located, which is the first line of defense of the closed system.
Although the isolation door between the cave and the cave blessed land can seal the aura, it is not thorough enough. It is not a problem for cultivators like Heaven to bless them, but if it is at the level of Zhenyuan Immortal, they can still feel the slightest trace of unusual aura flow. So, Moon Shadow added an extra door. Double-layer isolation is adopted. In this way, the aura can be completely sealed, and even if Zhenyuan Shangxian comes, he will not want to find the clue.
Now that this door has suddenly fallen, it can only mean that the magic circle outside has been activated. Tianyou knew that someone must have come from above, but he didn't know if they had discovered his secret, so he didn't dare to make a sound just now, thinking about hearing if someone had broken into his cave blessed land first. But now it seems that it should be just ordinary visitors, otherwise there will be some movement outside.
Knowing that it was nothing serious, Tianyou no longer worried, but sat down with Moon Shadow and waited for the door to open again. Hu Qingxuan and Hu Niu are both outside, if someone comes and leaves, they will inevitably reopen the entrance knowing that Tianyou is underneath, so Tianyou is not in a hurry.
Anyway, it was okay to sit here, and Tianyou chatted with Moon Shadow about the core of the spiritual spring. After discussing the possible reasons for a while, the two simply ran back to look at the spiritual spring core, but when they looked at the spiritual spring core from a distance, the spiritual spring core suddenly flashed a few times, and it actually activated in front of them.
Tianyou asked Moon Shadow again, but the answer was still the same. There's no way to get close to it, and it's useless to just look at it.
The two had no choice but to return, but found that the entrance to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land had been opened, and Qi Xiaomei was waiting for them in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
"Who came out there just now so late at night?"
"It was a senior brother sent by Zhenyuan Shangxian who sent you some pills, saying that it would help stabilize the natal magic weapon. I'll take it for you. ”
"Then Senior Brother isn't suspicious, is he?"
Qi Xiaomei shook her head. "Nope. I haven't explained where you've been, but he said to himself that he shouldn't disturb you, saying that Zhenyuan Shangxian specially explained that you need to recuperate now. ”
Tianyou nodded, asked some more questions, and was about to turn around and ask Moon Shadow to go out together, but suddenly found Moon Shadow holding her chin in a pensive motion, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's the matter, there's something wrong with that senior brother?" asked Tianyou cautiously.
Moon Shadow shook her head, "That's not what I'm thinking. ”
"Huh, what are you thinking?"
"Lingquan Core. ”
"Lingquan Core?" Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. "Could it be that you've figured out the problem?"
"Not sure yet. Moon Shadow suddenly asked, "You have been beside the spiritual spring core for the past few days, and you have encountered this phenomenon of sudden interruption of the spiritual spring core every day?"
Tianyou nodded: "There are so many times a day, five or six times at most, and one or two times at the least." Anyway, there will almost always be one time when there is a unitary two. ”
"Do you remember the exact time of day when the problem occurred?"
"I don't remember exactly. What's the point, is there any clue to when the problem happened?"
Moon Shadow nodded affirmatively this time, "Maybe it's really a clue or not." ”
"How?"
Moon Shadow organized her words for a moment before she said, "You said that this phenomenon would happen every day for the past few days, but I didn't realize that it was not completely impossible, but it was also extremely abnormal. ”
Tianyou nodded, "yes, I think it's strange too." It's a bit strange that there are such obvious aura fluctuations, but you don't notice it. ”
Moon Shadow continued, "So I've been wondering if something went wrong that caused me to ignore this change, but I couldn't think of a reason. Until just now. We witnessed the core of the Spirit Fountain extinguish and then restart, and in the process we happened to have something here that could have blocked my perception. ”
Tianyou, who was still a little unclear, reacted instantly. "You mean the automatic closure system of the Cave Blessed Earth?"
"That's right. When we came down, the entrance to the cave was not closed, and the core of the spiritual spring was working normally. Later, it was discovered that something was wrong, and when it came back, the hole was closed. When we looked at it again, the Spirit Spring Core was activated again, and when we returned here, the cave entrance was also opened. Of course, this may just be a coincidence. But when you first came back, you told me that this kind of problem occurs almost every day these days, and these two times happen to be the time when Qi Xiaomei and Hu Niu go out to listen to classes and come back at night. That is to say......"
"The time when the Lingquan core went wrong is just right the same time as the time we open and close the floodgates?"
Moon Shadow nodded. Tianyou was shocked. He couldn't have imagined that the root cause of the problem that had plagued Zhenyuan Shangxian for so long was actually his own. But the question is, how did this problem come about, and why did the activation of the Spirit Spring Core of Zixiao Palace link with the floodgates he used to camouflage the Cave Heaven Blessed Land?
At present, all this is just the conjecture of Tianyou and Moon Shadow, but it is not troublesome to verify. Let Qi Xiaomei stay outside and repeatedly open the closed gate according to a specific time pattern, and Tianyou and Moon Shadow came to the core of the spiritual spring again to observe its state, and the result soon appeared. As Qi Xiaomei opened and closed the gate according to the agreed rules, the Lingquan core also opened and closed according to the law in front of Tianyou and Moon Shadow. There is no need to guess now, the problem at the core of Lingquan really originated from their floodgates, but Tianyou still couldn't understand why the two were related.
Moon Shadow is also confused about this problem, it should be said that she has never encountered such a problem before. After all, although she had seen the Lingquan core, she was not specifically responsible for this matter, so her understanding was limited to knowing some basic principles, and her knowledge of subtle aspects might not be as good as Zhenyuan Shangxian.
Although he tried out the relevance, Tianyou still had some difficulties, because he didn't know how to inform Zhenyuan Shangxian of the news. You can't just tell him that you dug a hole and rubbed your aura, right?
With a doubt, Tianyou still slept before dawn. Although monks can go without food for half a month or sleep for a whole month, it does not mean that they do not need to eat or sleep, but they can last longer than ordinary people. Tianyou is also tired these days, so he quickly fell asleep.
It is said that adequate sleep is helpful for opening up ideas, and God Blesses Jue's words are reasonable, because after a short sleep, he unexpectedly made up a set of reasonable explanations in his brain, and on this basis, he also thought of how to explain his findings to Zhenyuan Shangxian.
In fact, Tianyou didn't understand the working principle of the artificial spirit spring, but this did not prevent him from replenishing the state of the spiritual spring core according to some conditions.
In the principle that Tianyou made up in his own brain, he regarded the Lingquan core, which he was not familiar with, as a jet engine that he was familiar with. The principle of the jet engine is nothing more than the use of heat energy during fuel combustion to generate power, but the rear of the jet engine often spews out a high-temperature tail flame, which means that a large amount of heat energy is directly sprayed out.
Tianyou believes that the mistake of Zixiao Palace is that they want to recover this part of the "heat energy" in order to get a higher output. However, modern people understand that not to mention a jet engine, even if it is an internal combustion engine for a car, what happens if you block the exhaust pipe. High output, like a jet engine, relies on its high input. The idea of recovering heat isn't a problem, the problem is that you can't simply plug the heat energy directly into the engine.
Although Tianyou didn't understand what the principle of Zixiao Palace's Spirit Spring Core was, judging from the current results, it might have similar characteristics. Because Zixiao Palace had sealed the Lingquan Core too tightly before, the engine of the Lingquan Core could not be exhausted at all, so it couldn't ignite the fire. Later, because Tianyou discovered the secret room under the cave mansion and began to transform his own cave heaven blessed land, there was an exhaust outlet in the core of the spiritual spring. As a result, when the "displacement" reached the requirements, the large engine of Lingquan Core was successfully ignited.
However, after God blessed them back, they made a transformation of the cave, in order not to be discovered, he specially installed a gate to block the spiritual energy, the result is that Tianyou here as soon as the spiritual spring core will go out, and when the outsiders here are gone, they will reopen the door, and the spiritual spring core will resume the ignition state. Previously, Zhenyuan Shangxian concluded that the core of Lingquan is very stable every night, and the flameout mostly occurs during the day, because no one visits Tianyou at night, so the gate is always open. And every morning and dusk, God bless them always have to go out and go home, which also causes the gate to open and close, so the Lingquan core follows the phenomenon of starting and stopping.
There is no basis for this set of theories, it is all made up by Tianyou's brain, but he feels that there should be some truth, because this theory can indeed explain why the start and stop of the Lingquan core will be related to the opening and closing of the floodgates of his own cave. As for how to explain to Zhenyuan Shangxian...... This one is easy, too. Get rid of the reality basis, as long as God bless explains how the engine works. Of course, Zhenyuan Shangxian definitely doesn't know the engine, but Tianyou can explain it by the principle of the smelting furnace. Tell Zhenyuan Shangxian, "You blocked the chimney, which is why it caused the fire to go out."
I thought about it, and Tianyou didn't go to the lecture after breakfast, so he went directly to Zhenyuan to go to the fairy. Fortunately, it was just in time for Zhenyuan Shangxian to go out, but he was blocked by him next to the teleportation array.
"Why did you come early in the morning? Didn't you bring a message to let you rest more?" After seeing Tianyou, Zhenyuan Shangxian was still a little angry, and felt that he didn't rest well according to his instructions.
Where can Tianyou manage that, besides, he knows that he is not false at all, but he has some excess energy. "Master, I thought of something important, so I hurried over. ”
"What's so important?"
Tianyou looked left and right, thought about it, or took two steps forward, lowered his voice and whispered: "It's about the core of the spiritual spring." ”
Zhenyuan Shangxian was slightly stunned, and then said, "Come with me." ”
The two of them walked up to the teleportation array, and the next moment they appeared in the teleportation point on Zixiao Peak. This is a forbidden place, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter, so the number of people coming and going is very small, but it is also a place to talk.
"Okay, now it's time to say something. What's the matter, do you still want to borrow the Lingquan core?" Zhenyuan Shangxian was obviously a little unhappy when he said this, because if Tianyou really wanted to borrow the Lingquan core, he would definitely refuse. It's not a question of being stingy or not, it's that the door rules are here. There are some things that you will use if you are gracious, but if you don't tell them, you can't worry about them. It is said that before Zhenyuan went to the immortal, it was already an extrajudicial grace to let Tianyou use the Lingquan core to replenish the spiritual qi, if Tianyou still kept thinking about it, it would be an inch, and Zhenyuan Shangxian was naturally unhappy. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the core of Lingquan, but I'm angry with Tianyou's heart and character.
Fortunately, this is not what God Bless is going to say.
"No, it's not to borrow, it's that the disciple has always had a headache for the failure of the Lingquan core when he saw his master these days, and he went back yesterday to think about it, and the disciple of Jue may have found the reason. ”
"What?" Zhenyuan Shangxian didn't have time to comfort himself that he really didn't see the wrong person, but remembered that Tianyou said that he might have found the reason. You must know that the problem at the core of Lingquan has been bothering him for a long time, if he can really find the crux of the problem, then there is hope for repair, which is definitely a great thing for Zixiao Palace. "Quick, quick, tell me what you found?"
Tianyou didn't go around the bush, and directly told the theory of his own numbering, and added a sentence, "I don't understand the mystery, maybe it's just a blind guess, but I think even if there is a glimmer of hope, I should give it a try, what if it happens?"
Zhenyuan Shangxian did not arbitrarily refuse, nor did he immediately agree. He was pondering. It's different from God's blessing. God bless this is a civil science, a plan that he came up with with a pat on his head, but Zhenyuan Shangxian is a serious professional, and people should think and analyze it from a professional point of view.
Tianyou also knew that Zhenyuan Shangxian was thinking, so he didn't bother, and just waited quietly to the side until Zhenyuan Shangxian recovered.
"Your way...... Maybe it's worth a try. "Zhenyuan Shangxian can say this, which means that there is actually a certain theoretical support for Tianyou's method, otherwise Zhenyuan Shangxian should directly refuse. "You come with me, if you really solve the trouble of the Lingquan core, I should report to the head and make a big contribution to you. ”
Tianyou didn't come for merit, but he felt that Ez Zhenyuan had helped the immortals a lot, and he should repay him with something. However, since there are benefits to take, he will not refuse stupidly, anyway, the reward given by the sect does not need to be Zhenyuan Shangxian to come out.
As Zhenyuan Shangxian came to the cave where the core of the spiritual spring was located again, Tai Bai Zun stayed there as usual. Seeing that Tianyou didn't mean to ask him, he just nodded lightly after Tianyou's salute, and didn't ask them much about what they were going to do. However, Zhenyuan Shangxian came here to test the solution that Tianyou said, so naturally he couldn't help but say hello to the guards, so he took the initiative to tell Tai Baizun about their intentions.
"If it's an experiment, then it doesn't hurt to try, just tell them how to do it. Tai Bai Zun obviously had no reason to stop him, and took the initiative to arrange a helper.
Zhenyuan Shangxian is a real person, but he is not pretending to be polite. "Tianzun doesn't have to be polite, this is just a small change, I'll do it alone. ”
Tai Bai Zun naturally let him do it at his convenience, but once again said that if necessary, just say it, and then let them go in and start construction.
The biggest advantage of Tianyou's theory is that the improvement method is very simple, as long as you open an extra vent for the Lingquan core.
The cave where the core of Lingquan is currently located is a fully enclosed structure, and the naturally formed mountain crack under the Tianyou Cave Mansion is one of the only two entrances and exits, and the remaining entrances and exits are the exits where Tianyou and Zhenyuan Shangxian are currently located. However, unlike the entrance and exit of Tianyou, although the entrance and exit in front of me also have a gate, it is usually closed, and the Lingquan core will not be completed instantaneously regardless of whether it is started or stopped, but requires a process. Although this door can also play the role of a vent, because it will not be opened for a long time, it causes the spiritual spring core to be suffocated again before it has time to ignite.
The solution is also very simple, just leave the door open and keep it open and not closed.
Because the gate belonged to a security facility, Zhenyuan Shangxian had to explain this matter to Tai Bai Zun, and then informed all the guards not to close the gate, but to keep it open, and also arranged a full-time person to monitor the state of the Lingquan core, so as to know if it had another flameout problem after opening the gate.
It's a simple change, but it's not always right away to know how it works. After opening the door and briefly observing the state of the spiritual spring core, Zhenyuan Shangxian left the artificial spiritual spring with Tianyou, and then the two separated, and Tianyou first went back to his own cave, which was a small test. Because when he returned, it would inevitably cause the spiritual qi gate in the cave to automatically close, and according to his previous experience, this should cause the spiritual spring core to go out. If there is no flameout when you go to check the situation tomorrow, then your method is effective.
Of course, Tianyou didn't come back specifically to test the working state of the Spirit Spring Core.
"Little sister, where's Qingxuan?"
"Fix it down there. ”
"Is Tiger Niu with her too?"
Qi Xiaomei shook her head, "Hu Niu went to class." She's been very positive these days. ”
"Why don't you go to the class?" The immortal elders of Zixiao Palace were not enthusiastic about accepting apprentices, but anyone could listen to the big class. Although Qi Xiaomei's situation is special, it is also beneficial to listen to the big class. But I don't know what's going on with this girl lately.,I feel like there's always a trend of developing in the direction of otaku.。
"I ......" Qi Xiaomei wanted to speak and stopped, but after seeing Tianyou's gaze, she knew that he would not stop without asking why. "Actually, I didn't want to go to the class. ”
"Why don't you want to go to class?"
"Because...... Because ......"
"Someone bullied you?" Tianyou immediately thought of the reason.
Qi Xiaomei didn't answer, just kept silent, but this was already an answer.
"Who is it? Why are they bullying you?"
Although Qi Xiaomei was reluctant to say more, she was still squeezed out of the general situation like toothpaste under Tianyou's questioning.
In fact, it is easy to say. Qi Xiaomei is half human and half corpse, it was okay at the beginning, but with the improvement of cultivation, the corpse qi on her body began to thicken. Zixiao Palace is full of monks, and their spiritual sense is very keen, and it is naturally easy to find the aura on Qi Xiaomei without concealing it. However, Qi Xiaomei was a recognized official disciple after all, and she was wearing the clothes that represented the official disciples of Zixiao Palace, so no one dared to really do anything to her.
However, although I don't dare to do it directly, cynicism is indispensable. From time to time, these people will squeeze Qi Xiaomei, or say something in front of her that makes her uncomfortable.
Qi Xiaomei is now in the prime of her life, and she is already at an age when her mind is uncertain and her mind is fragile, and her sudden transformation into a half-human and half-corpse state is already a big blow to her. Although she did not show too serious psychological problems under the guidance of Tianyou, this was a dead knot in her heart after all. And now that those guys are constantly turning over her scabbed mental wounds, how can she be calm?
After asking the ins and outs of the matter, Tianyou did not immediately go to someone to settle the account, and this matter may not be someone's problem. "You practice at home first, don't care what others say, tomorrow I will accompany you to the class, but to see who is telling right and wrong. ”
"Or don't you want it?" Qi Xiaomei persuaded Tianyou with some worry, "It's already a favor to let me enter the mountain gate, if I cause trouble again, I ......"
"Since you have been accepted into the mountain gate, it is an acknowledgment of your status as an official disciple, so you don't need to be so humble, as long as you maintain the necessary courtesy to your senior brothers and immortal elders. You are not inferior to them, they are not nobler than you, so why should you let them? Besides, weakness does not bring respect, it only brings more oppression. Unless you don't plan to stay in Zixiao Palace in the future, you must not back down at this time. Now they only dare to provoke you with words, and if you back down now, it won't be that simple after that. ”
Qi Xiaomei thought about it, and finally nodded. "I listen to my brother. ”
Seeing that Little Sister Qi agreed, Tianyou comforted her a few more words, and then went to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to find Hu Qingxuan who was cultivating.
"The hosts. Feeling that Tianyou was waiting in front of him after he came in, Hu Qingxuan knew that there was something to find him, so he quickly ended his practice.
"How's your practice progressing lately?"
"It's more than five or six times faster than in the mountains before, but without the help of exercises, I always feel that it is still quite slow. "Hu Qingxuan is not like a tiger girl, this is a clever girl, and she knows that from time to time it is time to remind Tianyou to fulfill his promise.
Tianyou also heard Hu Qingxuan's voiceover, shook his head with a smile and said, "Come with me, you always talk about the province." ”
When Hu Qingxuan heard this, he immediately grabbed Tianyou's arm excitedly and asked happily: "Really, where are we going? Are we going to visit that senior?"
"Yes, yes, don't shake it, my bones are about to let you shake it apart!"
After Hu Qingxuan heard Tianyou's joke, he was embarrassed to let go of Tianyou, returned to his usual ladylike demeanor, and stretched out his hand and said, "Then it's bothering the master to lead the way." ”
Following Tianyou out of the cave, one person and one demon soon came to Juewei Zhai. It seems that someone here is having a treat today, and from afar I can hear a shout of pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
Don't think that the monks of Zixiao Palace are like the legendary immortals who don't eat fireworks in the world, the reality is just the opposite. Among these fellow disciples that Tianyou has seen, whether they are senior brothers or immortal elders, they are all some fleshy people. They also have various needs, they will laugh when they are happy, and they will be annoyed and angry when they are scolded, which is no different from ordinary people. Of course, it's not true that there are no fireworks in the world like in the teleportation, only that kind of people are a few, but there are more ordinary people.
Ignoring the cacophony, Tianyou walked straight through the front door and headed out into the backyard. However, just as Tianyou walked to the center of the front yard, the small door on one side happened to open. The person who came out was nothing, but at the moment when the door opened, the person facing the door keenly noticed the figure of Tianyou.
Tianyou didn't notice the situation inside the door, and walked over without looking back, pushed the door and went directly into the backyard. It wasn't until he walked into the backyard that a person rushed out of the door that had just been opened, and after looking left and right, he only saw the door of the inner courtyard slowly closing. After a moment's hesitation, the man turned and returned to the room he had just come out of. This is Juewei Zhai, except for the existence of the sect master and the head of the sect, ordinary disciples, even the immortal chief, rarely dare to go crazy here. Trespassing in the backyard? That's a long time.
Tianyou, who didn't know that he was being targeted, walked into the backyard like this, called Mei Niang's name all the way and went directly to the kitchen.
"Fairy Aoba, have you seen Mei Niang?"
The kitchen of Juewei Zhai is a forbidden place, and ordinary people will never let him in. However, Tianyou is an exception, some of his special cooking techniques and seasonings have completely conquered the Aoba Fairy, and the two will study cooking together in this kitchen from time to time, so the Aoba Fairy does not exclude Tianyou from entering her beloved kitchen.
"Why are you here?" Fairy Aoba was stir-frying, but it was her spiritual power that turned the spatula and not herself, so it didn't affect her movements.
Tianyou said with a smile: "I found an apprentice for Mei Niang, and I just brought it over to show her." ”
"Apprentice?" Fairy Aoba moved her gaze and glanced at Hu Qingxuan, who was also following behind Tianyou. With her cultivation, of course Hu Qingxuan's deeds can't hide from her. "Oh, this apprentice is on the right track. She's serving food in the front room, so go find her first. But when it's over, remember to come over and try my new dish. ”
"Okay, I'll bring her first, and I'll be over in a moment. Tianyou said and beckoned Hu Qingxuan to follow, but Hu Qingxuan knew the number of etiquette, and saluted the Qingye Fairy, and then turned around and followed Tianyou out.
Back in the front yard, Tianyou just opened the courtyard door and saw Liu Meiniang who was about to push the door in, and the two almost bumped into each other. However, Liu Meiniang reacted quickly, and took a light turn with the tray to stabilize the tray that was about to fly out and the plate on it, but this time her body lost her balance and leaned back, and the direction of the fall was facing Tianyou, the position was so handy, Tianyou had to reach out to catch her, so the classic shot of a handsome guy who was knocked down with a rotten beauty in a love movie to save the scene appeared.
"Uncle Mei Niang, you don't have to be so enthusiastic about me, right?"
Tianyou is not stupid, of course he knows that this is deliberately pretended by Liu Meiniang. Although this front yard is quite noisy now, and even a monk does not always turn on his keen senses to be vigilant about his surroundings. But no matter what, Liu Meiniang's Taoism is there, not to mention that she is still a vixen, and she must be better than people in terms of hearing. God You didn't believe that she couldn't hear her footsteps through the door. She did this on purpose, purely to tease Tianyou, anyway, she didn't do much before.
Everyone in Zixiao Palace thought that although Liu Meiniang was charming, she was very serious, but Tianyou knew that it was all pretended. The so-called country is easy to change and difficult to change, and the fox spirit is the fox spirit, and it will not change anywhere. It was better when she wasn't familiar before, but now that she is familiar, she is getting more and more excessive.
"Be bold, let go of the immortal chief. Here, Liu Meiniang was still writhing and joking in Tianyou's arms, but there was a loud shout not far away.
Tianyou looked up at the place where the voice came from, but found that he didn't know the person who made the sound. However, the Tianyou who came out behind him knew that it was Chu Feifei, a disciple of Tianyou's cheap old lady who was closer than his own son.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Chu. God blessed Pi with a smile and greeting.
On the other side, there was no response to his greeting, and the person who shouted angrily before pointed at Tianyou and shouted: "Be bold, don't let go of Uncle Liu." ”
Liu Meiniang's seniority is actually very high, but because she is a demon clan and is outside the management class of Zixiao Palace, her disciples generally call her uncle. But in fact, she can be regarded as an ancestor-level existence.
Although Tianyou is not afraid of these people, it doesn't seem good to hold Liu Meiniang like this, so he leaned up slightly and reminded softly: "Uncle Shi." This means to let Liu Meiniang stand up.
It's a pity that Liu Meiniang is a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and she always likes to tease him after getting acquainted with Tianyou. God helped her up, but she threw the tray away, "Oops, dizzy, people can't stand up!"
This time it was too much, and even the person opposite was a black line. Are you a thousand-year-old demon going to get dizzy? What's wrong? Did you just get smashed by the diamond bracelet or did you accidentally hit your head and collapse Buzhou Mountain?
However, although the other side can also see that this is Liu Meiniang taking the initiative to pit Tianyou, there are also smart people who react quickly. For example, Chu Feifei.
"Uncle Shi was injured by this thief, and the disciples are willing to be angry for Uncle Shi. ”
It's a pity that Chu Feifei is too smart. The things he made up in his brain were completely incompatible with Liu Meiniang's path.
"Go back and eat yours, it's none of your business. Liu Meiniang knew that she couldn't go on, so she stood up as soon as she turned around, and with a move of her hand, the trays and saucers that fell on the ground flew up and folded them again into a pile, not even a corner was broken, obviously she paid attention to the angle and force of the fall when she threw it.
The people who were scolded by Liu Meiniang couldn't find Liu Meiniang to be angry, so they could only shift the target and glared at Tianyou angrily and then turned back to their private room, while Tianyou took the initiative to take the tray from Liu Meiniang's hand and returned to the inner courtyard, and Liu Meiniang naturally followed.
"It's really boring, you guy doesn't cooperate with me at all. Liu Meiniang immediately returned to her original appearance after coming in, and asked as she walked, "What are the new dishes that came here today?"
"No, I'm here specifically to find you. "When no one is around, Tianyou can call Liu Meiniang's name, which is her special request. Although she always says that Tianyou hates it, in fact, she clearly values Tianyou's appearance. But this can't be blamed on her, who called the last accident, Tianyou and her spiritual power were mixed together, and now she is also half a demon pet of Tianyou, and she can't be close if she wants to. Of course, except for the Aoba Fairy, Tianyou didn't even say anything about Moon Shadow.
Liu Meiniang turned to look at Tianyou unexpectedly, "Looking for me?" As she spoke, she looked at Hu Qingxuan again. "I heard that you've found another vixen, and you're planning to let me help you with your tutelage?"
Heaven bless the black line that listens. Although Liu Meiniang's words are roughly correct, it is not quite right to understand. What do you mean by "finding another vixen"? I don't know if I thought he had abandoned him outside and messed with flowers and grass all the time. And that "tuning", are you sure it's really the kind of tuning I want?
"Mei Niang, don't make fun of me, I really want to ask you to help me teach Qingxuan. ”
"Oh, is your name Qingxuan?" Liu Meiniang's attention finally turned to Hu Qingxuan, and she walked over without any immortal demeanor and reached out to stroke Hu Qingxuan's hair, "Well, it's a bit of a posture." Okay, leave it to me. I'm sure to teach you a charming goblin. ”
"What's that......" Tianyou still wanted to explain, but he swallowed back the words after thinking about it. Liu Meiniang is obviously joking with him, the more he talks, the more he will be molested, the worse he will be, so it's better not to say it. Anyway, Liu Meiniang's attitude is very clear, she has already recognized this apprentice, so Tianyou doesn't need to worry about anything, so she simply turned to Hu Qingxuan and said, "Don't apprentice yet?"
Hu Qingxuan reacted at this time and immediately knelt down and saluted. "The master is above, please accept the disciple Hu Qingxuan to kowtow. Hu Qingxuan said that there were three knocks, which were really loud heads, and the ground that hit them was shocked.
Liu Meiniang didn't joke this time. Apprenticeship is a very serious matter, and it was okay to joke before, but it would be disrespectful to laugh at this time. Liu Meiniang, who was holding up the shelf, also had a seven-point majestic appearance. "Okay, from now on, you will be my closed disciple, this is the magic weapon that the teacher used before, so I will give it to you. ”
Liu Meiniang turned her hand and handed out a ribbon as she spoke, on which the colorful glow was shining, and it didn't look like an ordinary product. This is also the reason why the immortal elders of Zixiao Palace don't like to accept apprentices. Accepting apprentices not only consumes their own energy, but also gives their disciples a greeting gift, which is definitely a loss-making business. As for the fact that those apprentices in the mortal world gave gifts to their masters, they almost didn't exist in Zixiao Palace. Learning among mortals is just a craft to make ends meet, and of course it is okay to give some money and gifts to the master. But as long as the immortal elders of Zixiao Palace dare to accept apprentices, their cultivation will definitely not be low. Where do ordinary disciples go to find gifts that they can see? Except for Ying Ying, who has a country behind her to support her, which one can get something that the immortal elders can look up to? Therefore, in Zixiao Palace, the disciples in the income room are definitely losing money.
Hu Qingxuan was a little afraid to take this baby, and turned his head to look at Tianyou, but Liu Meiniang was annoyed: "What do you think he did for the meeting gift I gave you?"
Hu Qingxuan had no choice but to take the ribbon with both hands. Tianyou was quite worried in his heart, because Liu Meiniang accepted Hu Qingxuan as an apprentice to see his face, and this gift naturally had to be counted on his head. Tianyou is not the kind of rotten person who holds grudges and does not remember gratitude, so this love naturally has to be repaid. But Liu Meiniang's love, where is it so good? The key is that he can't push this love out, unless he doesn't want Liu Meiniang to take Hu Qingxuan as an apprentice.
No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't run away, so Tianyou could only helplessly watch Hu Qingxuan accept the ribbon, and then stood up with the support of Liu Meiniang.
"You are still his pet, so you don't have to stay with me, just come every morning. If you need to follow him out of the mountain gate, you have to report it in advance, but is there a problem?"
Of course, Hu Qingxuan nodded and said that there was no problem, so Liu Meiniang said some basic rules, but they were all miscellaneous things, and there was nothing special about them.
At this point, the master-apprentice relationship between Liu Meiniang and Hu Qingxuan can be regarded as completely settled. However, today this can only be regarded as a relationship, and then a formal apprenticeship banquet will be held, and someone will be invited to be a witness, which can be regarded as the official completion of the apprenticeship process. Of course, this kind of thing in the immortal gate will not be too complicated, and it is generally enough to invite two or three immortal elders to have a meal and be a witness.
Hu Qingxuan was so happy that he followed Tianyou back and walked around. Tianyou couldn't help but tease her, "Teacher, why did you become a rabbit as a fox?"
Hu Qingxuan was happy in his heart anyway, no matter what Tianyou said, if you don't talk back to him, it's just a stupid music. As a human race, it is probably difficult for Tianyou to understand the mood of the demon race finding the master, after all, the conditions of the human race are much better than those of the demon race in this regard.
