Chapter 4: Warmth and Foolishness
At the dinner table, Lin Lin and Zhang Xiaofan brought plates of food to the table, and Dazhufeng and others were waiting for the dinner to begin.
After the preparations were almost done, Forestry said to the senior brothers and the master and the mother who were already seated: "After my careful teaching and the unremitting efforts of the junior brother, I solemnly announce that Zhang Xiaofan has been discharged. ”
Forestry pulled the shy Zhang Xiaofan, pointed to the food on the table and said, "These are all done by the junior brother alone, I don't think it's worse than me." You taste, try the craftsmanship of the little junior brother. ”
"Really?" Tian Ling'er first questioned, "Can Xiaofan's food be compared to you?" ”
Before forestry went up the mountain, the food of Dazhufeng was in charge of the sixth Du Bishu, who was the best in the whole Dazhufeng at that time. And when everyone tasted the craftsmanship of forestry, Du Bishu was disliked without hesitation.
Tian Ling'er obviously didn't believe that this cute little junior brother of Mu Na would have such a great talent in cooking.
Tian Buyi also snorted lightly to show his disbelief.
Forestry has been practicing in the Taiji Cave for two months, and it has been three months since Zhang Xiaofan worshiped the Great Bamboo Peak.
Tian Buyi suddenly had a whim one day, thinking about studying Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation situation. But after some testing, he was angry enough.
Ordinary people practice Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, with the first layer of superficiality, after three months, they can also achieve a small success, can initially lead the heaven and earth aura into the body, running for three to five weeks.
However, Zhang Xiaofan has been cultivating for more than three months, and he can't even control the aperture of his whole body, and he is even more reluctant to introduce spiritual energy into his body, let alone run for a few weeks.
Tian Buyi didn't know that Zhang Xiaofan had a double cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, and the supreme exercises of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism were not only very different, but also completely different.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofan was simple-minded, but he worked harder to continue to practice.
Of course, this does not mean that Lao Tian completely ignored Zhang Xiaofan. He has a short-term temperament, but he is implanted in the bone marrow, I look down on it, but if you dare to bully my person, I dare to fight with you.
This is also the reason why Forestry respects him, Lao Tian is indeed a person of temperament.
But after seeing Zhang Xiaofan's three-month cultivation speed, he obviously didn't believe that forestry would only teach him for ten days before he could become a teacher.
Tian Ling'er couldn't sit still at first, so she immediately clamped down with chopsticks, hesitated for a while, and ate it in one bite.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Tian Ling'er's slightly frowning brows with bated breath and nervousness. Although Lin Lin had already told him that his cooking skills were good enough, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster when he saw his goddess trying his own craft.
Suddenly, Tian Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Zhang Xiaofan, is this really what you did?!" ”
"Huh? Well. Zhang Xiaofan replied honestly.
"Yes." Tian Ling'er praised: "I didn't expect your qualifications to practice are average, but you are so good at cooking." Well, it's much better than what forestry does. ”
In addition to praise, do not forget to damage a handful of forestry.
Forestry scolded with a smile: "Okay, you have no conscience, you forgot that I opened a small stove for you before." Now that you have a junior brother, you have forgotten your senior brother. ”
"prprpr......" Tian Ling'er stuck out her little tongue and grimaced at the forestry.
At this time, Tian Buyi and the others also moved their chopsticks one after another, and they all expressed their admiration.
"Little junior brother, I didn't expect you to be so talented, and you did a great job."
"That's right, I was worried about what I would do in the future if Senior Brother Lin went down the mountain. I am used to eating the food cooked by Senior Brother Lin, but it is a little difficult to taste Senior Brother Du's. ”
"Senior Brother Wu, you weren't like this before. In the past, you praised me for making delicious food, but now with Senior Brother Lin and Little Senior Brother, I, a former chef, will also be disliked. Du Bishu had a heartbroken, crying expression.
Zhang Xiaofan believed it and wanted to defend himself in a hurry, but he couldn't speak and blushed for a while.
Song Daren said: "Don't play tricks, don't you see that the little junior brother is about to cry?" ”
Du Bishu patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said, "I'm joking with you, but the dishes you cook are really delicious." With that, he gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the people who were feasting, scratched his head, and showed a satisfied smile.
When he looked at Tian Buyi, Tian Buyi also happened to look over, and the two looked at each other, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again.
"Well, well done." Tian Buyi said.
Zhang Xiaofan raised his head suddenly, looking at Tian Buyi in disbelief, this was the first time in more than three months that Tian Buyi had praised him.
"What to see, what to eat." Tian Buyi was embarrassed by him, his face was pale, and he said majestically.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously pulled and ate, and then said inaudibly: "Thank you, master." ”
Tian Buyi's ears moved slightly, as if nothing had happened.
"It feels so good to be at home." Forestry looked at the bland scene in front of him, but there was an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart.
After leaving Huang Yaoshi Feng Rong and Huang Rong, the emptiness in his heart was suddenly filled with the bland warmth in front of him.
Sure enough, compared with the swords and swords, the life of the rivers and lakes that is rampant is still this kind of short life of parents, which is more comfortable.
However, in order to keep such happiness, it's time to go down the mountain and farm the dungeon explosion equipment.
Forestry has been decided, tomorrow will go down. Everything that should be done has been almost done, and for the time being, I will stay in Dazhufeng, and I will not have anything to do.
But before we go, there are a few things that need to be sorted out. Forestry looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who also looked satisfied, and thought.
At night, Lin Lin walked out of his room and walked towards Zhang Xiaofan's residence.
The rooms of the brothers and sisters of Dazhufeng are all lived in turn, the forestry ranked seventh, and Zhang Xiaofan ranked eighth, so Zhang Xiaofan's room was near the forestry.
Forestry came to the door of Zhang Xiaofan's room silently, since the beginning of learning the Tao, the movement of forestry walking is even smaller, if you go to ancient times, you will be a first-class person who is a thief saint and thief god.
When he was a child, he also fantasized that one day he would be able to fly the eaves and walk the wall, think about it, how handsome this is. Unexpectedly, unconsciously, it has far exceeded this small childhood goal.
Standing outside the door, you can clearly see the light of the fire beating in the house, and at this time, the other senior brothers have already fallen asleep.
Zhang Xiaofan was able to catch up and reach that point where no one can compare, in addition to the opportunities along the way, this diligence is also indispensable.
"Knock knock" Forestry knocked lightly on the door.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't even count as a beginner at this time, and immediately came to his senses and said, "Who?" ”
"It's me, your Senior Brother Lin."
There was a clattering sound in the house, and then the house opened, revealing a face that was not handsome, but kind.
"Senior Brother Lin, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaofan asked curiously.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Forestry said with a smile.
"Ah, please come in." Zhang Xiaofan opened the door and turned sideways to let Forestry enter.
There are two small windows in the room, and the furnishings in the room are simple and clean, only a few pine tables and chairs, and there are kettles and cups. Half of the room is occupied by a large bed on a kang.
On the wall directly above the bed, a banner was hung with a large letter: Dao!
Da Zhufeng's rooms are almost the same, Zhang Xiaofan is not a hypocritical person, and he has not added any new furniture.
"Senior brother, is there something wrong with you coming to me so late?"
"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, I want to come and see before I go, if you have any questions about cultivation that you don't understand, you can ask me now." Forestry said: "Also, the master may be a little stern at times, but he is that kind of character, he can't pull down his face, he is actually a very protective person, although he doesn't seem to care about us on the face, but if something happens, he will definitely protect us as soon as possible." ”
"I know." Zhang Xiaofan said: "The master is angry and hates iron and steel, and blames me for my poor qualifications, so that he will be unhappy, I will definitely work harder to cultivate and not let his old man be embarrassed." ”
Zhang Xiaofan said firmly, he was full of gratitude to Tian Buyi who took him in.
"By the way, what's on your neck?" Forestry seems to have just found out, and said casually.
"This..."Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously clenched the small beads on his neck, then let go of his hand, and said with some melancholy: "This was once given to me by an old grandfather, and I have always kept it with me as a souvenir." ”
"Can you show me?" Forestry said.
"Absolutely." Zhang Xiaofan untied the rope, rubbed it a few times with his fingers, and then handed it to Forestry.
Forestry took the bloodthirsty bead and looked at it carefully.
I saw that this bead was dark purple and crystal clear, and the appearance was very beautiful. He looked intently, and faintly saw a seemingly nonexistent green qi flowing back and forth, as if it was about to break out of the bead at any time, and whenever this green qi hit the inner wall of the bead, a golden swastika would appear out of thin air, dispersing it.
What a powerful Buddhist power!
Forestry has cultivated the dragon elephant prajna gong of Buddhism Tantra, and the Jiuyang divine skill also contains the truth of Buddhism, so just seeing this golden swastika, he can infer from this that he can deduce from this to think about the power of Tianyin Temple's great fan.
Not long after the green qi was dispelled, it immediately reborn a wave of green qi, and the ferocity and evil were better than Fang Cai, but the golden swastika was still the same brilliance, and even slightly dimmer in color compared to Fang Cai.
It seems that after a few months, although this swastika is very powerful, it is like water without roots, and I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the green qi for long.
Lin Lin said to Zhang Xiaofan in a deep voice: "Xiaofan, have you been in a sudden irritability recently, and you will have nightmares from time to time at night, and they are becoming more and more frequent. ”
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, how do you know." ”
"If I see it correctly, this bead is one of the four great treasures of the Demon Dao bloodthirsty bead, it has strange characteristics, it is addicted to the essence and blood of living beings, if there is a living creature close to it, it will be sucked by this "blood-devouring bead" and die in a moment, leaving only a skin, it is really a terrifying evil thing. More than 1,000 years ago, this pearl was obtained by the demon sect elder black-hearted old man, because of its ** blood-eroding ability and refined it into a magic weapon, invincible for a while, I don't know how many righteous people were killed, and his reputation was shocked, and then it became one of the four treasures of the demon sect. Forestry said.
"But this bead has been missing for a long time, and I didn't expect it to be you. Xiao Fan, with your current cultivation, if it weren't for the fact that this bead had been blessed by the masters, I'm afraid you would have died tragically! If you don't believe me, you can ask the master to see if it's different from what I said. ”
Lin Lin said solemnly: "Xiaofan, I don't know what the person who handed you the beads thinks, I can't guarantee that the person intends to harm you." ”
"How could it be ......," Zhang Xiaofan said in disbelief.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan remembered what the old monk Puzhi said to him, and muttered to himself: "Yes, he asked me to find a deep valley and lost this bead, which I left on my own initiative." ”
"Anyway, I can't give you this bead." Forestry said righteously: "I happened to go down the mountain this time, so I found an opportunity to throw it away, so as to save the disaster in the future." ”
This is definitely not his black heart, he wants to be greedy for Zhang Xiaofan's baby, it is indeed this thing that is very evil, Zhang Xiaofan suffered greatly in the later stage, this is also to protect the little junior brother. Forestry thought silently.
