The two chatted like this, and when they passed by the former residence of a restaurant in Tianmen Town, a young man dressed as a scholar standing under the eaves stopped their way and said, "Zhou Ce, please wait a minute, the master wants to invite the two of you to have a light meal." ”

Li Yu didn't know him very well, but Zhou Ce knew him, but he didn't know him very well.

"Zhao Kuo, why are you here?" Zhou Ce asked.

Zhao Kuo replied, "Master asked me to wait for you here." ”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Ce and asked him, and Zhou Ce explained to him, "He is Mr. Liang's scholar. ”

In the years of staying in Tianmen Town, Li Yu has an understanding of the general people and things in Tianmen Town, Mr. Liang is the master who came seven years ago, and Li Yu has also eavesdropped on the master's class a few times, his class is not like the old master's textbook, but quotes scriptures, which is quite vivid and interesting, even people like him who don't like to go to school can listen to it with relish, and sometimes even feel it.

It's just that in the next three years, he rarely taught anymore, and most of the time he was in his study and didn't know what he was doing, of course, these were all told to him by Shen Xun and Zhou Ce.

Since then, he has rarely gone to class again, and the scholar he had not seen when he went to the school before, and he was not from Tianmen Town, so he thought it should be someone who came in from the outside later.

Zhou Ce asked Li Yu, "Let's go for a while, after all, he is a gentleman, and it is not easy to excuse himself." ”

Li Yu said that it didn't matter, what he thought was that maybe he was the one by the way, he just needed to sit quietly.

The three of them went up the stairs to a small cubicle on the second floor, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a table of delicate side dishes on the table, on which was a thinly sliced meat of unknown nature, topped with some sauce, a beautifully arranged green vegetables, and a bowl of fresh and pure fish soup, next to which a pot of tea exuded a faint fragrance of tea, and a basin of water and towels were placed aside for people to wash. This made Li Yu suddenly think of an ancient sentence he once saw in a book, "I don't get tired of eating, I don't get tired of being fine", I can't help but think, readers are really exquisite, and even eating is so delicate and dexterous.

Zhou Ce seemed to know what the rules of eating with this master were, so he naturally washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then went to a small room next to him to smoke incense before he sat down. Li Yu thought to himself, although he was said by the Taoist to have a lot of rules, but it was not as complicated and elaborate as him, and in the years he got along with the Taoist, he was also somewhat influenced by the Taoist, and he no longer had such a fastidious cleanliness habit.

After Li Yu followed Zhou Ce to finish this, his appetite was already half gone, he sat down coyly, thinking that he had hidden these expressions well, but he didn't expect that the other party was a thousand-year-old fox, and Li Yu couldn't play any chatting in front of him at all.

Liang Fuzi smiled and said to Li Yu, "You can try this kraken fish meat, this dish is the signature dish of this restaurant, only that chef can make it, and it is not something that can be eaten at any time." ”

After hearing this, Li Yu couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a chopstick and ate it, but as soon as he ate it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask Master, what kind of dish is this?" ”

Liang Fuzi said, "This is a kind of fish and beast in the inland sea, I caught it when I went out to sea today, I can't make it myself, but the cook here is a must to make this dish, so I brought it to him and made it." ”

After listening, Li Yu picked up another chopstick, tasted it carefully, and then put down the chopsticks. Liang Fuzi saw that he stopped eating two bites, and asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Li Yu said to him, "No, it's delicious, but you can't eat too much if it's delicious." I wasn't the only one eating at the table, and I was satisfied with what it tasted like. ”

Zhou Ce, like Li Yu, also ate a little bit and didn't eat again, the two of them just ate something shallowly, abiding by the rule of eating without words, and after the three of them finished eating, they cleaned their hands, rinsed their mouths, smoked incense, drank tea, and after a set of processes, Master Liang slowly said, "This time I asked you to eat, it is not caused by the rise, I will leave in the future, before leaving, I want to ask you, would you like to go outside with me to see it." ”

Li Yu and Zhou Ce looked at each other puzzled, not knowing why he asked like this. Zhou Ce asked, "Master, you said you wanted to take us away?" ”

The master smiled silently, Li Yu looked at him like this, and said directly, "Thank you for the kindness of the master, I won't leave." ”

The master did not rush to ask why, but continued, "Isn't my lecture good? As far as I know, you haven't been to class since I stopped teaching. ”

Hearing this, Li Yucai said a little embarrassed, "It turns out that you all know, master, I'm sorry for going to the class without permission, but the lesson you taught is really good, but no matter how good it is, I can't leave my master." ”

Not all children in this town go to school, some because the family has no money, some because they don't want to go, and for those who don't have money at home, but want to go to class, most of them will go to class occasionally.

Li Yu lived with the Taoists, went up the mountain to collect medicine, helped people heal, drew talismans, went to the sea to fish, and dived pearls, he would do these things, so he belonged to the rich kind of child, but he didn't want to go to school anymore, and when he went to listen to Liang Fuzi's class, he overheard him talk very funny, so he specifically asked Shen Xun about Liang Fuzi's class and picked his class to listen.

But if he asked him to leave his master for this matter, he would not agree to anything.

Although Liang Fuzi was a little surprised after listening to Li Yu's answer, he was still a little disappointed when he really heard his answer.

Zhou Ce thought for a while and asked, "Why did you take me away?" ”

Master Liang looked at him and smiled, "I'm not afraid to tell you, you, Li Yu, and Shen Xun are all people I want to take away, but among the three of you, only Shen Xun is the one I want to take away, and you and Li Yu are the people Confucianism wants to take away." ”

At this time, even Li Yu felt very interested, and he asked, "Confucianism wants to take me away, is it trying to pry my master's corner?" ”

This question was very playful, and even Master Liang, who had never been smiling, couldn't help but be amused, and said, "This is interesting, but it can also be said that way." Although we can't understand what your master wants to do, the person who can make him a disciple must not be so simple. ”

Master Liang didn't actually say all of this, but Li Yu understood, and he continued to ask, "So, if I don't go with you and can't become a factor in your control, then you won't let me grow up, right?" Even people from other forces will find a way to get rid of me? ”

The master looked at him deeply, "You are very smart. So, do you still not want to go with me after realizing this result yourself? ”

Li Yu smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, and revealed a very important news to me, but I still can't leave, my life was saved by the master, and in this life, I will only recognize him as the master." ”

Seeing that Li Yu didn't enter, Master Liang had no choice but to sigh, turned to Zhou Ce, and asked, "What about you?" After listening to what he said, aren't you going to go with me? ”

Zhou Ce actually confirmed Li Yu's wishes after he said those words, and said, "Yes, Master, I won't leave, Li Yu has a reason why Li Yu won't leave, and I am the same, I believe that my family will come to pick me up." ”

Liang Fuzi said, "Even if your family will come to pick you up, but you may not have a better life after you go back, and you may face a life and death crisis, if you go with me, we can at least ensure that you are safe and sound until you grow up." ”

Zhou Ce said with a smile, "My life in Tianmen Town over the years has made me understand many things, one of which is that my homeland is difficult to move, and relatives and friends are inseparable. In addition, I also want to go back and see what the place where I lived is now, and I also want to ask the answer, why? Some things are not done while I am young, and by the time I am really capable enough to bear it, the enthusiasm has long since worn off, and by that time, I will probably not continue to struggle with the answer in my heart. I think I'll have some regrets. ”

This result Liang Fuzi didn't think about it, he actually watched some teenagers in Tianmen Town a long time ago, Shen Xun, Li Yu and Zhou Ce were three of them, he was not much disappointed that Zhou Ce and Li Yu disagreed, but looked at the back of their departure, still a little sighing, sighing that Confucianism's plans may change in vain because of these two people.

Zhao Kuo asked, "Sir, why don't we just bring them back?" ”

Liang Fuzi said, "Each of them is not as simple as it seems, if they don't go voluntarily, they have a conflict with the people behind them, I'm afraid, we will be driven out in Tianmen Town." After all, as soon as the decree of the Five Venerables came out, everyone in Tianmen Town was under protection, and they could no longer fight. ”

Zhao Kuo was still puzzled and asked, "The Five Venerable Decrees are just to prevent conflicts in Tianmen Town, but we can negotiate with the people behind them, as long as they agree, can't we take them away?" ”

"What you think is too simple, the people behind them won't give up on them so easily, not to mention Zhou Ce, just look at Li Yu, although he is only a disciple of the Lindao people, and the person behind him is only his master, but his master alone is probably worthy of all the immortal cultivators in the entire continent."

"Sir, have the Lindao people reached the peak now?" Zhao Kuo asked incredulously.

Liang Fuzi thought about it again and again before he said, "I don't know the specific situation, but I can't leave ten." ”

When Li Yu went to the first floor, after asking the hotel owner, he went to the kitchen to find the cook.

When he left, he thought that the master might not have eaten, and thought that the taste of this fish and beast was not bad, so he cheekily asked Master Liang if there were any extra dishes. Fortunately, Master Liang was very generous and asked him to go to the chef directly, and he had no problem with this, but when Master Liang handed over the meat to the chef, he made it clear that the excess part would be given to the chef, so whether he could get it in the end depended on whether the chef could give it.

The kitchen of the restaurant is in the backyard, and the cook has two apprentices, who usually give the dishes to the apprentices, and he himself will not cook easily except for a few special dishes, or if the guests have additional requirements.

When Li Yu and the others entered the backyard, they saw the chef lying on a rocking chair with a plate of melon seeds and a cup of hot tea next to him.

The chef closed his eyes and said, "If you want a dish, you can do me a favor." ”

Li Yu and Zhou Ce glanced at each other, a little strange, why are there so many strange people today.
