In the small courtyard of the bamboo forest, the morning sunlight has just sprinkled down, and the whole courtyard looks clean and shining, as if coated with a layer of glaze.

Yu Liepan sat on a stone mill at the door, facing the newly rising sun, breathing regularly between his mouth and nose, as if he was swallowing the rising sun and collecting the essence of the sun.

But in fact, although he has been promoted to the eighth-rank Taoist disciple, he has not yet learned the breathing method, so it is impossible for him to have the possibility of collecting the essence of the sun and the moon at all, he is just regulating the essence of pranayama, and he is barely sensing the aura that permeates the air.

While sitting in the remaining columns, outside the bamboo forest courtyard.

From time to time, the Yu family's clansmen walked by, and when they saw Yu Lie's figure, these Yu family members who passed by were all excited in their eyes.

"See, that's your eldest brother Yu Lie, he is now an eight-grade Taoist disciple. I heard that Bapin has true qi and can use spells, and the exercises he cultivates are also different from Daotong's channeling techniques, but breathing and breathing, which must be collecting and replenishing the essence of the day. You have to learn to light it and strive to become a Taoist disciple too! ”

This is carrying a child, walking in front of the courtyard of Yulie, the other party's face is not a person in the nearby courtyard, it seems that he brought the child early in the morning, and came to admire.

There are also clansmen who happened to pass by the bamboo forest, and when they saw the remaining columns in the courtyard, they all slowed down, for fear of disturbing the remaining columns if they walked fast.

All kinds of people walked past the small courtyard of the bamboo forest one by one.

Since Yu Lie can remember, there have not been so many people in this small courtyard.

On the stone mill, Yu Lie frowned, and after he breathed for a while, he noticed that there were more and more people, so he opened his eyes, bowed his hand slightly towards the clansmen coming and going outside the courtyard, and then walked towards the hall behind him.

A shout suddenly sounded outside the courtyard: "Look, Brother Lie is up, he is arching his hand towards us!" ”

There are even clansmen from the Yu family, who said: "Big baby, hurry up, go up and say hello to Brother Lie." ”

Hearing the miscellaneous voices behind him, Yu Lie shook his head slightly.

He flicked his sleeves slightly, and his figure suddenly flickered, and he rushed to the door of the hall, and by the way, a soft wind was released, gently pushing back those clansmen who were about to step into the courtyard.

"Today, there is something important in the poor path, so you have to retreat and cultivate, and you will not be entertained."

Yu Lie's clear voice sounded, making the figures outside the courtyard suddenly show a look of pity.

Some people also lamented: "So-and-so rushed over before dawn." ”

At this time, the ghosts and gods of the City God Temple came to Yu's house to congratulate and promote Yu as a third-class temple blessing, which was already the past night.

The situation of that day spread to the entire Yu family at a very fast speed, and everyone and animals knew about it. Even the entire south of the city faintly knew the name of Yu Lie in half a day and overnight.

Yu Lie was a little unexpected, and he didn't expect the curiosity of the clansmen about him.

That's why he was on guard, he ran to the courtyard at night to sit cross-legged, and practiced on his own, but before dawn, he was watched by many people from the Yu family as monkeys for a long time.

Squeak!

Yu Lie returned to the hall, and a figure in the room quickly got up.

First, Yu Tian's voice said: "The third brother has finished cultivating, and the second mother has warmed the porridge for you, so eat it quickly." Big brother, take it out! ”

A burly and square figure appeared in the hall, and the other party was carrying a small stove in his hand, which was the eldest son of the Yu Tian clan, Yu Datian.

Although Yu Datian is burly and square, his hands and feet are not coarse, but sharp.

On the square table in the hall, he quickly set up a stack of dishes and chopsticks, and took out the warm porridge from the small stove and put it in the bowl.

While busy working, Yu Datian still looked at the crack in the door and muttered:

"Usually no one comes to say hello, and when the third brother was in the clan, he didn't see so many uncles and uncles, and he led his daughter-in-law and doll to ask for advice. It's strange today, so many people come in one go. ”

Yu Tian heard it, although her eyes were blurry, but she touched a pair of chopsticks and slapped the back of her eldest son's hand fiercely:

"Let you talk a lot! The clansmen are willing to come over, because they can afford to look down on our third brother. ”

Yu Datian was slapped hard, and his mouth suddenly became cold.

Seeing this, Yu Lie chuckled, took the porridge in Yu Datian's hand neatly, served it by himself, and served it to Yu Tian's side:

"Erniang, with morning tea. Big brother, you use it too. ”

After a few conversations, the three sat down.

Yu Lie poured a simple but salty meat porridge into his stomach in one bite, and suddenly felt warm all over his body, and he felt very comfortable.

The three of them had breakfast together, and Yu Tian chattered, asking Yu Lie questions and asking questions, and he didn't stop.

This is still the result of last night, after Yu Lie returned to the hospital, Yu Tian had already said the result of half the night. Otherwise, when the other party is talking and talking, he must be crying, complaining about himself, complaining about the rest of the column, and nagging non-stop.

Yu Datian was devouring the porridge in a daze, he looked at the opportunity, and also asked Yu Lie about his cultivation.

Yu Datian failed to obtain the Taoist entrance examination at the beginning, he had no Taoist status, and he was just an ordinary man, so he was very curious about these things.

For this breakfast, Yu Lie ate a little indecently, and he had to reply after taking a bite.

But somehow, the room was obviously noisier than the outside of the courtyard, but when he listened to it, he felt that it was not disturbing at all, but it warmed his heart, and he didn't know if it was the extra effect of meat porridge.

After pouring three bowls in one go, Yu Lie took a deep breath of the rich aroma of oil and salt on the bowl, and slowly spit it out, wanting his eldest brother to come back to a few more bowls.

But at this time, Yu Tian suddenly spoke:

"Lord Chenghuang gave the third brother a reward yesterday, when do you plan to take office, brother? Erniang is in a hurry, I will go and tear the fabric for you today and sew a well-fitting robe. ”

She touched the cuffs of Yu Lie and muttered, "Where did you buy the robe, how much silver?" Look at this stitch, it's too coarse. ”

When Yu Datian heard this, he also raised his head from the porridge bowl and asked excitedly:

"Yes, third brother, when are you going to take office? The City God's Temple was not open to the public three times throughout the year, and there was no chance for us to open it, so when you took office, you had to take me to take a look. ”

Mother and son, you say a word to me, and you are excited.

But Yu Lie listened, his face was slightly stunned, and he put the empty bowl on the table, and his face showed embarrassment.

Seeing him like this, Yu Tian and Yu Datian both stopped talking.

Smack!

Yu Tian's smacked Yu Datian again, and complained: "The third brother has not taken office, what kind of mouth do you have, where are you going." Don't make trouble for the third brother. ”

Yu Datian confessed, but Yu Lie still hesitated and stopped talking.

So Yu Tian was cautious and asked, "Third brother, but is there something?" ”

Yu Lie simply didn't hide it, he got up, took a step back, bent down and said:

"Erniang, Yu Liezhi is not here, and he doesn't plan to stay in the clan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was suddenly quiet, and both Yu Tian and Yu Datian seemed to be a little unable to react.

This made Yu Lie's face even more embarrassed, and even a little guilty.

But the next moment, to his surprise, a chuckle sounded in the room:

"I see, great, the third brother has big ambitions!"

"Huh?" Yu Lie was slightly surprised.
