Lu Xuan came down from the back mountain in a daze.

Before going up the mountain, although he had been prepared in his heart, the moment he saw the truth, the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Using living people to make alchemy, using living people into medicine, just to make yourself a monster?

This damn place, he didn't want to stay any longer.

Thinking of the gray-robed Taoist who forced himself to take the pill, Lu Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists, if he had the opportunity, he must kill this ghost thing, otherwise it would be difficult to leave this place.

After descending the mountain, Lu Xuan did not forget the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Dirty, he first returned to his house and changed into relatively clean clothes, and then with his vague memory, he looked for a place for monsters to gather in the sect.

In my memory, the place where the gray-robed Taoist lived seemed to be called Sanqing Mansion.

Lu Xuan counted the peach wood signs hanging in front of the house, and found a place after a while.

When he arrived, there was a rectangular table of eight immortals in the huge hall, and on the wall directly behind, there was a landscape painting, the gray-robed Taoist sat on the main seat, and on his left and right were sitting some of the more core disciples of Langyuan Fairyland, a total of eight people.

Among these people, Lu Xuan recognized Heng Xuan, Heng Liang, and the woman in red who came to the door in the early morning.

However, in Lu Xuan's eyes, except for Heng Xuan and Heng Liang, two disciples who were relatively late, everyone else was a monster with different forms!

When he saw Lu Xuan walk into the door, all the "people" looked over, he was already late, and there was only one seat left at the end, the Taoist's face was slightly unhappy, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Hengyang, why are you so late?" ”

The Taoist's question was expected, Lu Xuan bowed and saluted, and said the most prepared speech: "The master has worked hard to refine the elixir for the disciple, and the disciple is grateful, so he can only arrange many things in the Dan room properly in order to repay the master, so it is too late." ”

"It's good that you can understand the painstaking work of being a teacher, and when you build a path to becoming an immortal for your teacher, then our master and apprentice will go to the outer sky together to have a happy life, wouldn't it be beautiful." The Taoist was very satisfied with the change in Lu Xuan's attitude, and he didn't intend to criticize him, so he smiled: "Sit down." ”

"Master Xie."

Lu Xuan's attitude was very humble, he sat at the end of the Eight Immortals Table, and as soon as he sat down, he felt a gaze lingering on him.

He raised his eyes and found that it was a disciple of the same generation as himself-Heng Xuan.

The moment the two looked at each other, Lu Xuan felt a kind of hostility, frowned slightly, and did not make a sound.

Seeing that the disciples in the door were almost here, the gray-robed Taoist clapped his hands, and the door of the house closed with a "Peng" sound, and the waxy yellow lamp oil on the candlestick burned automatically without wind or fire.

"It's finally the New Year, you've all been tired for a year, just eat something good tonight, come on! on the food. ”

Several boys, who were no more than three feet tall, came out of the dim light, saying that they were children, but their facial features were blurred, and their bodies were like illusory shadows, carrying a black cauldron, and they walked and swayed, looking very difficult.

Looking at the monsters in the room, Lu Xuan was inevitably a little worried about tonight's food.

When he saw that the pot was filled with steaming dumplings, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I saw the boys carrying the iron pot, using an iron spoon, carefully digging it up and putting it into everyone's porcelain bowl, and there was still a lot left in a circle, and the Taoist saw this, stroked his beard and smiled: "The rest will be rewarded to you." ”

The boys made strange chirping noises, as if they were very happy, and they gathered around the iron pot.

"Hehehe, it's the New Year, relax a little, there's no need to be as restrained as usual."

Having said that, Lu Xuan could still see that the disciples of the sect other than him still respected the gray-robed Taoist, and they were all waiting for him to eat first.

The gray-robed Taoist picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up the white dumplings, dipped them in the sauce, put them in his mouth, closed his eyes, and chewed them carefully with an intoxicated expression: "Well, yes, it's this taste, I haven't eaten such fresh meat-filled dumplings for a long time." ”

After the Taoist took the first bite, the others picked up the chopsticks.

Lu Xuan picked up the white-skinned dumplings in the bowl, but he really didn't have much appetite to eat.

The gray-robed Taoist was like an old man at home, looking at Lu Xuan with a smile: "Hengyang, why don't you eat it?" ”

Lu Xuan had no choice but to take a bite of the white and tender dumplings, which had never tasted before, which made him feel strong discomfort psychologically and physically.

Seeing that the Taoist's gaze had not yet been removed, Lu Xuan was ruthless and ate it in a big gulp.

The gray-robed Taoist looked at Lu Xuan, who was gobbling up, and was very happy: "You guys have encountered a good day, I think I didn't even know what dumplings were at the beginning, and I only heard Xiu from the same village mention it." ”

"Later, I worshiped into Langyuan Wonderland, your grandfather not only named me Zhen Yuanzi, but also gave me a meal of dumplings, eating a mouth full of oil, but it is a pity that his old man became an immortal, leaving only this huge sect, after my years of painstaking management, I did not fall into the name of Langyuan Wonderland."

"The master is happy." Heng Xuan patted the ass in time.

Others chimed in.

Only Lu Xuan's cheeks were bulging, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

"Hengyang is also a hard-working baby! In the bitter cold of the border pass, I guess I haven't eaten these good things. Zhen Yuanzi looked at Lu Xuan, who was feasting, and distressedly asked the disciples around him to bring the dumplings in his bowl to him: "Hengyang! Eat slowly, don't choke, if you really like it, the master told the virtual boys to do it again tomorrow. ”

Lu Xuan took the bowl and was moved to tears, and choked up word by word: "The apprentice has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has suffered from the white eyes of others over the years, and the master is the best person for me." ”

All the "people" present seemed to be infected by Lu Xuan's sincere words, and the woman in red looked at Lu Xuan, and her words were sincere: "Little junior brother, don't cry, with the master here, you don't have to live the hard life before." ”

After the noisy conversation and the impact of dishes and chopsticks, Lu Xuan thought that this absurd Chinese New Year's Eve dinner would end here.

But just when he thought that the "people" were going to disperse, he saw Zhen Yuanzi smile and take out a black sandalwood box from the cabinet under the landscape painting, in which a few pills were placed alone, and distributed them to the left and right in turn.

"It's the New Year, the master should give you a gift, the ordinary thing is a few taels of broken silver, we cultivators, don't pay attention to that thing, these pills are carefully refined, just treat it as a New Year's gift for you."

All the disciples who received the pill laughed happily, Lu Xuan also laughed, he found that the pill seemed to be missing, and it was gone when it was sent to him, but Zhen Yuanzi pointed at him, and the smile was even stronger: "Hengyang has just started, this kind of big tonic pill can't be eaten, come and eat this one." ”

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi took out a pitch-black pill from his arms, in Lu Xuan's eyes, it was not much different from the previous spirit pill, it was still a viscous and wriggling black substance, as if something was wrapped inside.

"Hahahaha." Lu Xuan suddenly laughed, grabbed the black weird elixir and put it in his mouth.

Their cheerful laughter echoed in the Sanqing Mansion, and only he could hear the unwillingness and despair hidden in it.

After taking the pill this time, Lu Xuan didn't feel unbearable pain, he sat in his position very calmly, watching the physical bodies of other "people" continue to change.

Under the dim light, the black shadow swayed wildly, and the virtual boy with a round belly who ate was pierced through the stomach, and the juice mixed with the chewy dumplings flowed all over the ground......
