As the sun set in the west and the dusk was heavy, Yang Qi and a few senior brothers finished their cultivation for the day and returned home. Du Qingyun had already prepared a table full of dishes, and Yang Qi was happy, but several senior brothers had sad faces, and there was no trace of a smile.

Yang Qi was curious, and couldn't help asking, "Senior brothers, why are you so unhappy? With a sad face and no smile, could it be that you have encountered some problems in your cultivation just now? There are still problems that cannot be solved, you can talk to me, junior brother." ”

Tian Renshu said: "Little junior brother, senior brother's heart is like a rock, even if there are any problems in cultivation, they will not be so sad. What's more, it is normal for cultivation to go against the heavens and have problems, but the problems we are facing now are not trivial, and they are by no means understandable to outsiders. Of course, you'll understand later. ”

Zhong Jingwen said: "Yes, what Senior Brother said is reasonable, the problems we encounter are much more difficult, and they are not understandable to outsiders at all. Only a few senior brothers and a senior sister can understand the difficulties. You're just getting started, and there's a lot of things you don't know about here. ”

Yang Qi became more and more curious, and asked, "Senior brothers, what is going on? What is a question that outsiders can't understand, and I'll be able to understand it later, what are you talking about?"

Tian Renshu smiled bitterly and said, "Little junior brother, let's go to the house first, if you have any questions, you will know all about them later." After saying this, he walked straight towards the house, and the other three senior brothers followed, Yang Qi touched his head, full of confusion, and followed.

The five of them walked into the house, only to see Du Qingyun sitting there alone, and said with a hippie smile: "A few senior brothers, junior brothers, you are back." The four senior brothers smiled bitterly and did not respond, only Yang Qi said: "The fifth senior brother is really hard to stay at home alone, and now he is preparing dishes for a few of us, thank you senior brother." ”

Du Qingyun said: "Little junior brother, don't be polite, these are what I should do." According to the rules of the sect, as long as the disciples who stayed at home should prepare the dishes, so that the disciples who were practicing outside could eat them immediately when they returned home. Tomorrow it will be your turn to stay at home, so tomorrow the dishes will be prepared by you. ”

Yang Qi suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that it will be my turn to stay at home tomorrow, but I don't know any rules." Then Yang Qi bowed down and said, "Thank you senior brother for reminding me, otherwise I will go to refine qi tomorrow, but I am afraid that I will break the rules of the sect and provoke the master to punish me." ”

Su Lishi said: "Little junior brother, you don't have to worry, I'm afraid that the master won't go home today." Shi Niang finally returned to her parents' home, how could Shi Zun appear here so easily? Do you remember, when I met you yesterday, I whispered something to Shi Zun? I told him that Shi Niang would go back to his parents' house. But why does he have to say that he has something important to deal with? It's because he doesn't want to lose face in front of you. ”

Yang Qi was very curious, and asked: "Why did you lose face in front of me? Master Venerable went to discuss the plan with Master Beiming, this is an exemplary demeanor of leading by example, in front of me, it will only show the great benevolence and righteousness of Master Venerable, why lose face, where to start?"

Su Lishi was trying to solve Yang Qi's doubts, but He Yandao hurriedly said, "I'll guess." Eighty percent of the master learned that the master was not at home, and suddenly became addicted to alcohol, and found a secret place to drink secretly. Fourth Senior Brother, am I guessing correctly?" Su Lishi smiled slightly, noncommittal, obviously agreeing with He Yandao's words.

Yang Qi was taken aback and said, "Ah, Shizun actually didn't go to discuss the plan with Master Beiming, but secretly found a place to drink." "I can't help but laugh in my heart, I think about what Master Beiming said, Shizun is indeed a strange person with a quirky personality. It is incredible, that the dignified national religion Zong Bei is the first to be a Taoist master, and he is actually a sneaky drinker in a cup.

Tian Renshu said: "Actually, although the master did not return to her parents' house, and the master did not drink secretly, she will not come back tonight." Shiniang is better, but as for Shizun, whenever the five junior disciples stay at home at night, they would rather go home in retreat than go home to eat with a few of our disciples. Of course, with his old man's unfathomable cultivation, he has already reached the realm of Bigu where he can not eat or drink, let alone a night, even if it is a lifetime, he can be like this. However, a few of us are superficial in our human behavior, and we are very tired from practicing every day, so although we don't need to eat three meals a day, we must at least eat one meal a day, otherwise our bodies will be empty. If we can have the cultivation of the Master, I am afraid that we will not be here tonight. ”

Yang Qi asked, "Why doesn't the fifth senior brother stay at home, and the master doesn't go home to eat with us? And what else do you say that if I could have cultivated like the master, I wouldn't be here, what does this mean? I feel very happy in this family, no matter what, as long as I can be here, it can make me feel very good." The sincerity of the words and the expression of emotions moved several senior brothers, but they didn't expect that the little junior brother was so affectionate and righteous.

Tian Renshu put his hand on Yang Qi's shoulder and said, "Little junior brother, you can have this intention, the senior brothers are deeply grateful, but there are some things here that you haven't understood yet. Well, let's eat first, and you'll get the answer later. At this point, Tian Renshu asked several of his fellow students to sit down one after another, and a few people surrounded the table full of dishes, but no one moved their chopsticks.

Today is Yang Qi's initial cultivation, and his stomach has long been hungry, but now when he sees the table full of meals, he can't wait to eat them all immediately. But when I saw that a few senior brothers didn't move their chopsticks, I thought there were some rules, so I didn't dare to cross them. At this time, Tian Renshu smiled and said: "Little junior brother, you don't have to be restrained, you can eat whatever you want, just treat this place as your own home." ”

Yang Qi couldn't help but look embarrassed when he saw that the senior brother had a desire in his heart, but he still nodded, moved his chopsticks, and began to eat under the attention of several senior brothers. Du Qingyun showed an expectant look on his face, and looked at Yang Qi directly, as if he had placed ten thousand taels of gold on the gambling table, waiting for the dealer to open the dice.

Yang Qi didn't understand why the senior brothers looked at him like this at first, but soon his face changed slightly, with an incredible look on his face, and he couldn't help but spit out the food in his mouth. Yang Qi said: "How can the taste of eggplant be so strange? Could it be that this is a crop raised by immortals, so it is so extraordinary?"
