When Lu Yangsheng returned home, he saw a little Taoist priest sitting at the door, with tears in his eyes, just like a puppy waiting to be fed by his master.

Seeing that Lu Yangsheng came back with the food on his back, Jiang Guining stood up tremblingly, grew his mouth, and said weakly: "Little brother, I'm hungry." ”

Looking at Jiang Guining's appearance, Lu Yangsheng smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, I'll cook for you right away." ”

Hearing Lu Yangsheng say this, Jiang Guining stopped talking, just flashed his big eyes, staring closely at the grain he was carrying.

Lu Yangsheng did a good job in this matter, after all, he promised Jiang Guining all-inclusive food and accommodation at the beginning, but as a result, he practiced for as many as five days as soon as he practiced, and the food at home at that time was indeed not enough to support so many days.

The food was not put in the house, so Lu Yangsheng carried it directly to the kitchen, ruthlessly, added some extra rice, and made it directly into dry rice.

Cooking dry rice is actually more time-saving than boiling porridge, and Lu Yangsheng uses a large fire, so the rice will naturally cook quickly. When the rice was almost cooked, Lu Yangsheng returned to the house, brought out a small plate of pickles, added the whole to the rice, and then changed to low heat, waiting for the salty taste of the pickles to seep into the rice.

Almost every household in the town has the habit of pickling pickles, especially the poor. The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, pickles are easy to preserve, at the end of the year, they are put into the tank, after pickling, they can be kept for a year, when the poor people can't afford to eat salt and vegetables, they can use pickles instead, and they can save a lot of money in a year, which is too cost-effective for poor people like Lu Yangsheng.

However, although Lu Yangsheng pickled pickles, he didn't have much, because he usually picked up leftovers that others didn't want, and he scraped them together, plus a year of frugality, he could make up a little money to make pickles. Usually, Lu Yangsheng is reluctant to eat, and only when he needs to do hard work, he will take out a little bit and mix it into rice porridge to eat, so as to prevent his strength from being unable to keep up and go wrong because he has not eaten salt for a long time.

Now in order to compensate Jiang Guining, Lu Yangsheng took out a small plate of pickles at once, which shows Lu Yangsheng's guilt and gratitude to him.

When the rice was ready, Lu Yangsheng remembered one thing, and said to Jiang Guining embarrassedly: "Dao Chief, I forgot one thing." It seems that people who haven't eaten for a long time can't eat dry rice, otherwise the stomach will not be able to stand it, or you can bear with it anymore? I'll make you porridge right away......"

Before Lu Yangsheng's words were finished, he saw Jiang Guining, who was originally sick, rushing over with a "whoosh", picking up the broken scoop and taking out some rice from the pot, it was not too hot, he grabbed it with his hand and sent it to his mouth, and when he heard Jiang Guining say that he wanted to change it to rice porridge, he stared at Lu Yangsheng viciously, there is a big kind of posture that if you dare to disturb me to eat, I will fight with you, that look frightened Lu Yangsheng hurriedly swallowed the unspoken words back into his stomach. Forget it, how can the Dao Leader be regarded as a person in the cultivation realm, why can't he be eaten in one meal? Let him be.

Lu Yangsheng swallowed his saliva, seeing that Jiang Guining's hands were burned red, and he couldn't stop grabbing rice with his hands from the scoop, he really couldn't bear it, so he had the courage to hand over a pair of chopsticks, Jiang Guining was not polite, he didn't even look at him, and took it casually and continued to pick up the rice.

Finally, when Jiang Guining had eaten almost enough, and there was not much rice left in the pot, Lu Yangsheng took a little water from his small bowl and slowly handed it over.

It may be that he is full, Jiang Guining's self-consciousness has slowly returned, reason has gained the upper hand, and the sense of shame will naturally come back so much, looking at Lu Yangsheng's cautious appearance, and then thinking back to his unsightly appearance just now, Jiang Guining blushed rarely, and took the water handed over by Lu Yangsheng embarrassedly, but he didn't know how to say thank you.

Lu Yangsheng didn't seem to notice Jiang Guining's embarrassment, took the scoop of Jiang Guining's meal, carefully scrubbed it with water, added a little water to the pot, boiled the porridge with the little rice left in the pot, and apologized to Jiang Guining while lighting the fire.

"Dao Chief, I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect that five days would pass as soon as I closed my eyes this time, and you suffered so many days of hunger in vain."

Hearing Lu Yangsheng's apology, Jiang Guining also recovered, and said indifferently: "I don't blame you for this matter, you don't have to take it too seriously." In the final analysis, Xiaodao drank too much and didn't explain it to you clearly, so it can be regarded as Xiaodao's self-inflicted. ”

Hearing Jiang Guining say this, Lu Yangsheng looked at him suspiciously, and said strangely: "What didn't you explain clearly?" ”

Lu Yangsheng is really a little strange, Jiang Guining is obviously very clear about the matter of cultivation, what else needs to be explained?

Jiang Guining patted his stomach, burped, and answered Lu Yangsheng's question a little helplessly.

"I forgot to tell you that once a monk finds the right way, his mind is completely immersed in the cultivation, and it is very easy to become addicted to it and unable to extricate himself, resulting in a poor reaction to things in the outside world and a loss of the concept of time.

Speaking of this, Jiang Gui smiled bitterly with palpitations.

"Don't you know, some great monks retreat for a few years, or a hundred years at most, during which they turn a blind eye to the outside world, and their whole mind will be immersed in the small world of the flesh, until the bottleneck is broken, and then it will return to normal. And the situation of your kid a few days ago can actually be called a small retreat. Fortunately, your kid's cultivation is low, and it is not a matter of life and death, so you can get out of the customs in just five days, otherwise you ......"

Jiang Guining didn't say the rest of the words, but Lu Yangsheng already understood. As for Jiang Guining's appearance when Lu Yangsheng woke up, if he woke up a few days later, it was estimated that Jiang Guining would have to collect his body.

In the final analysis, Lu Yangsheng was a little unrighteous, so Lu Yangsheng thought about it and said a word to Jiang Guining very seriously.

"Daoist, if the next time you meet me in retreat and you don't have anything to eat, remember to wake me up. Cultivation can be postponed, but people can't go hungry, it's very uncomfortable to be hungry. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Guining was really shocked, looked at Lu Yangsheng blankly, and asked, "Little brother, your name is Lu Yangsheng, right?" ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded happily, as if it was a joy to be remembered by his name.

Jiang Guining turned a blind eye to this, continued to look at Lu Yangsheng, and then stretched out a finger, bent his finger into a hook, and with a crisp sound of "pop", a chestnut smashed directly on Lu Yangsheng's head, and stunned the smirking Lu Yangsheng.

I only heard Jiang Gui condensing hate that iron could not become steel, and roared in a low voice: "Lu Yangsheng, is your head made of elm?" Why don't you open your mind? Didn't Xiaodao make it clear to you? Yes? If you don't understand, I'll tell you again, and you'll listen to me. ”

"When the monk is in retreat, his mind is completely immersed in the small world of the body, the small world of the body. At this time, the spiritual energy in the monk's body is active, just like a big river is in the middle of the peach blossom flood, the water is rushing and unstoppable, so the monk needs to use all his body and mind to control the direction of this small river to prevent the spiritual energy from getting out of control and colliding with his own meridians and acupoints. If the monk is disturbed at this time, it is like a river that suddenly loses its channel when it is rushing, what will be the consequences? ”

Without waiting for Lu Yangsheng to answer, Jiang Guining continued to roar.

"There is only one consequence, and that is that the river gets out of control and then breaks down both banks. But don't forget, this is the case in the monk's body, and the river is not the river water, but the aura. If the aura gets out of control in the monk's body, it will not be the trees and crops on both sides of the river, but only the monk's meridians. If the meridians are destroyed, heh! The monk was crippled at least or killed at worst. You kid let me wake you up at this time? Xiaodao, I've never seen someone looking for death like this, it's okay if you're not afraid of death, don't bother Xiaodaocheng? ”

After listening to Jiang Guining's roar, Lu Yangsheng realized how ignorant he really was, and hurriedly apologized.

"Dao Chief, I know it's wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Jiang Guining snorted coldly, and said with hatred: "For the sake of the face of this meal, Xiaodao will say a few more words." ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded again and again, looking at Jiang Guining with blank eyes, waiting for his next words.

"In the future, when you feel that you need to retreat when you are about to break through or have a sense of cultivation, it is best to find an inaccessible place, or find someone you trust to guard the retreat, and then break through, and don't be disturbed by others during the period, otherwise the retreat will fail, and it will be better to have you kid."

Speaking of this, Jiang Guining sighed.

"In the final analysis, your kid is too poorly born, he is originally an ordinary man, and he has not yet completed the teacher's biography, and he only embarked on the road of cultivation by a little chance, and now, your kid still knows nothing about cultivation, and he is completely blind to cross the river - it all depends on touching, you ...... Alas! ”

Jiang Guining looked at Lu Yangsheng's eyes a little pitiful, and Lu Yangsheng could see it, but he didn't feel how pitiful he was.

Lu Yangsheng stopped the action of burning the fire in his hand, turned to look at Jiang Guining's eyes and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, I don't think there is anything bad!" Like you said, I was originally just an ordinary person, but now I can step into the path of cultivation, and I am much better than most people. Besides, I also met the Taoist Chief, you to help solve the puzzle, which is already very lucky. ”

Looking at Lu Yangsheng's clean eyes, Jiang Guining had to admire this kid's acting skills. He had seen this kid's state of mind, and knew that this kid had never believed him as an outsider at all, so this seemingly sincere sentence should deceive the ghost.

After Lu Yangsheng said this, he turned around and went to work on his business again. Jiang Guining took a sip of wine, raised his hand and touched his chin, pretending to be thinking about things, and the scene became so cold.

The firewood at the bottom of the pot crackled, and the pale red flame shone on Lu Yangsheng's face, making his face red and bright, like the morning sun in the early morning.

When the water in the pot was boiling, Lu Yangsheng was already about to turn off the fire, Jiang Guining suddenly clapped his hands, and a crisp sound of "pop" startled him.

Lu Yangsheng looked at Jiang Guining puzzled, not knowing what this Taoist was going to do.

"Little friend, anyway, I've told you so much about cultivation, and you can be regarded as half a preacher, right?"

Jiang Guining opened his mouth with a smile, and suddenly said this to Lu Yangsheng.

Lu Yangsheng thought about it and nodded slightly. Regarding the preacher, Lu Yangsheng had heard Ying Xingxuan say it, and with what the little Taoist priest had told him about the cultivation realm, he really deserved the title of preacher.

"Since you admit that Xiaodao is your preacher, and you don't have a complete cultivation path now, do you want to choose to join Xiaodao's lineage, enter my teacher's sect, and seek immortality? Don't worry, it's not for you to worship me as a teacher, Xiaodao I don't have the qualifications to accept apprentices now, but Xiaodao I can accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher, and then I can justifiably be the leader of your cultivation road, so that if you don't know anything about the cultivation road, you can ask Xiaodao openly. What do you think? Do you want to join my mentorship and be my little junior brother? ”

When Jiang Guining said this, he squinted his eyes, like a snickering fox. As if he was afraid that Lu Yangsheng would not agree, he also added a sentence.

"Don't rush to answer the trail, think about it again. Let me tell you, there is no trivial matter on the path of cultivation, and if you take a wrong step, it is a big matter related to your life, and if you don't know anything about the cultivation realm, it is a very dangerous thing. But if there is a guide, hehe......"

said don't worry, but Jiang Guining's performance is completely different from what he talks to.
