The small courtyard of the island in the middle of the lake, in the pavilion.

The master held a book behind his hands and faced the empty lake, and was silent for a long time, when a gust of wind blew through the lake, causing the slightest ripples.

"One body and two souls, a good means." Mr. Liu appeared behind the master, "If it weren't for the fact that I knew that Tao Yao never came here, she would have succeeded again." ”

"The peach is dying, its leaves are Zhenzhen, Taoyao is not here, because you can't face yourself in your heart, you don't have such a big grievance, after all, you have met Tao Zhenzhen once, and you have been friends for many years." The master said lightly, "Fifteen years ago, the seal rioted, and Tao Zhenzhen attacked you secretly, probably because she missed the old master, but last night's events were a little strange. ”

"You know that the demon girl has the old master's heart, and you still want to keep her here back then?" Mr. Liu said indignantly, "Master, what are you thinking? ”

"Kill Tao Zhenzhen, Tao Yao will also die." The Master continued, "I'm thinking now, what is Tao Zhenzhen going to do when she comes back? What exactly is her goal? Last night, the Tao Zhen in Li Jie's residence and the Tao Zhen Zhen you met were the main body? ”

"Master, are you really unable to kill Tao Zhenzhen, or do you not want to kill her?" Mr. Liu said, "I don't believe you will be so indecisive, will Tao Yao really die?" You owe me an explanation. ”

"Then I owe it, Liu Lao, a peach can't affect the overall situation. Back then, I had a hunch that if I really killed Tao Zhenzhen, something big would happen, and I would regret something big. ”

"Now there is a big incident, Tao Yao is equal to half of the waste, the immortal Buddha's side you haven't completely negotiated, the demon clan already knows where the seal is, Qi Zhu and the monkey told you last night that there was a problem at the top of the dynasty, so you left the house in a hurry, and now the wind is blowing on all sides, Master, I have always been frightened recently, and I have a premonition that something big is going to happen, I suggest that all the Jinglun envoys be transferred back."

"Jinglun envoys can't be transferred at will, besides, Jinglun envoys are all brought up by Tao Zhenzhen, and they have deep feelings, and I don't want them to fall into a dilemma." The master sighed, "The matter of Li Jiemeng must be carried out as soon as possible, even if it is protected by my Dao weapon, it is not a long-term strategy after all." ”

"You went to Kyoto last night, but what did Qi Zhu and the monkeys get from?"

"There is a problem with the Jing Demon Division, and the patrol sent by Yan Yan is actually the moon phase of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, although it is not the age of Wangshuo, but it is the head of the lower strings, the demon of the three realms. Following this line, Qi Xuan found out that the deputy director of the Jing Demon Division secretly colluded with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to refine forbidden drugs and supply them to the upper echelons of the national dynasty to prolong their lives. ”

"This is not enough for you to take a trip, after all, the affairs of the dynasty have not collapsed in general, and the group of people in Tianzong are still passable on the festival in addition to the mud and self-denial."

"The big man in the upper echelons of the national dynasty wants to take away Li Jie, and the person who is involved in the volume can't be tolerated, so I can't think about it." The master said, "When I arrived in Kyoto, I fled before I could speak, and the deputy head of the Jing Demon Division died. ”

Qi Zhu and the monkey watched, these two people died and fled? It can't be that the monkey is playing away again, right? Mr. Liu asked, "What happened to the man at the top of the dynasty?" ”

"I don't blame the two of them for this, when the deputy director of the Jing Demon Division let go of his words, he broke it off on his own, and the two of them found the person in the upper echelons of the country." The master said, "But that person has more than 300 mouths in the mansion, and by the time I arrived in Kyoto, all of them had been wiped out, and it looked like the method of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to extract the soul. ”

"It's so ruthless to survive, ruthless and simple, three hundred lives. When did the Ten Thousand Demon Sect appear such a figure. Mr. Liu slapped the threshold fiercely, "So the clues are all broken." ”

"It's not all for nothing, at least I've learned one thing, someone is watching me. After I left the house, Tao Zhenzhen sneaked in, and when I arrived in the capital, the clue was cut off. The master suddenly smiled, "This is for me, everything is covering up a fact, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has a big move, otherwise it would not be so radical to break the tail to survive, what else is behind it, but I have no time to investigate, I can only let the monkey and Qi Xu pay attention, what I am most worried about now is that the matter of the human scroll is exposed, and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is plotting Li Jie, then there must be something to know." ”

"I think this is a move to turn the tiger away from the mountain, and this move is to let you go to Kyoto, no wonder Tao Zhenzhen did not entangle with me after sneaking in and exposed, Li Xie also fled away without winning a blow there, you only two hours from leaving to returning, this is the time for you to go back and forth." Mr. Liu said, "It seems that the people behind the scenes are very familiar with your strength. ”

"So, whether their target is Li Xie or Seal." The master laughed, "There is Tao Zhenzhen, how can the other party not be familiar with it?" ”

"The wind is blowing, Master, are your eyes fascinated?" Mr. Liu sighed, "People have emotions, which is really natural, but emotions will only interfere with your judgment now." ”

"Peace of mind." The master smiled at Mr. Liu, "It's not a bad thing for Tao Zhenzhen to come here, at least it makes me wait for one less hidden danger." ”

"Peach Blossom Formation?" Mr. Liu suddenly said, "What are you going to do?" ”

The master smiled silently, waved his sleeves, and his figure disappeared in place.

Mr. Liu looked at the place where the master disappeared, and gradually merged with the willow tree behind him, "Since I have been baited, I don't know what this fishing is." ”

In a small courtyard not far from the Master's Mansion, Tao Zhenzhen was leaning on the bed at this time, her chest was undulating, and a man in black wearing a mask stood next to the bed and asked, "Why did you trespass into the Master's Mansion?" The Lord has commanded you not to act rashly, so why do you act without permission? ”

"Why should I report to you what I do?" Tao Zhen said.

"You have ruined the master's big business, according to the original plan, the master needs to stay in Kyoto for more than half a year, and there are chess pieces in Kyoto to drag the master, so I can calmly start the second phase of the plan." The man in black said, "Now, because you broke into the Master's Mansion, the Master received a warning and hurriedly returned, we lost a lot of chess pieces in vain, and the layout of Kyoto was also ruined, and the follow-up plans were almost all stillborn." ”

"Your plan?" Tao Zhenzhen sneered, "Not to mention the six realms of Liu Lao Thief, a figure at the level of a great demon god, even if it is Tao Yao, a traitor, he is also a good hand in the five realms, and ordinary demon gods are not opponents at all, just you rotten sweet potatoes and stinky fish and shrimp in the third or fourth realm, what is the plan?" In the face of absolute power, your plans are no different from waste paper. ”

"That's not a reason for you to ruin the whole picture, sometimes power doesn't mean everything."

"You don't know anything about true power." Tao Zhenzhen said, "The old thief of the master only looks like the six realms on the surface, but in fact, the real strength has reached the seven realms, the seven realms, the king of the demon gods, there are very few existences. Do you think that the master and the old thief are on an equal footing with the Heavenly Immortals and Buddhas by virtue of the identity of the sect master of the Human Sect? It's too naïve, twenty years ago, the legend of the Two Realms Mountain, the master and son have a sword to town mountains and rivers, and another sword to kill demons, Liu Xia reads books to know the will of heaven, and listens to the Tao under the seat are all immortals and Buddhas. With such a character, what plan can hurt him? ”

"The plan we are waiting for is personally arranged by the Lord, you rashly act to destroy the plan this time, go and explain it to the Lord yourself." The man in black suppressed his anger, and glanced at Tao Zhenzhen with some jealousy, although this demon sabotaged the lord's plan, but his own strength was a real demon god of the five realms, one of the few high-end combat forces under the lord's seat.

"Where is the Lord?" Tao Zhenzhen asked.

"The Lord is in Kyoto, and he will personally arrange a new plan to force the Master to enter Beijing again."

"I'll go to the Lord when I'm healed, so stand down." Tao Zhen said.

The man in black stared at Tao Zhenzhen for a long time, "Remember, don't act rashly, the Lord has his own arrangements." ”

Li Xie looked at the boiled meat, soy sauce dish, small rice, and boiled vegetables in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, and said to Tao Yao, who was about to leave, "That big brother Tao Yao, I want to change some flavors, I don't know that there are other meals in the house." ”

"Xiao Langjun, I will only do this, please bear with me." Tao Yao's face was embarrassed, "Master's diet is lighter, always one meal and one dish, because you are weak, so Master specially explained that you added a meat dish." ”

"Does the Master always eat these?" Li Xie asked.

"In the past, when Mr. Qi Zhu was here, the meals were handled by him, the master said that he was extravagant and wasteful, stipulating one dish and one meal for each meal, in recent days, Mr. Qi Zhu went out, and I was responsible for the meal, but the master seemed to have something, and he was not in the house during the day, I and Liu Lao did not need to eat, and there was no much research on the catering, these few dishes of food should be okay, when Mr. Qi Zhu did it, I had seen a few glances from afar."

After a few glances from afar, Li Xie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he was really embarrassed for his master, he ate these every day, it seems that he has a long way to go to develop productivity and improve the happiness index of life.

Forget it, although it's better than this thing to do it yourself, but thinking of Tao Yao's identity, I put up with it, I can't refute other people's faces, and now it's this condition, and it's going to be settled. Li Xie couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart.

But when it was this thing three times a day for three consecutive days, Li Xie couldn't help it, and when he saw the boiled meat, small rice, and boiled vegetables brought by Tao Yao, Li Xie let out a wail, "Brother Tao Yao, you take it away, I can't eat it." ”

"Xiao Langjun, the master has instructed you to eat on time."

Li Xie felt that his tolerance had reached the limit, and finally said helplessly to Tao Yao: "Why don't I do it myself?" ”

Tao Yao showed a look of surprise on her face, and then she was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Langjun has never been enlightened, there are still remnants of demonic energy on the ingredients, and if you don't handle it well, it is not beautiful to hurt yourself." ”

"Demonic spirit?" Li Xie glared at the boss, the information revealed by these two words was terrible, "Could it be that the demon clan can also eat it?" ”

Tao Yao said: "Most of the ingredients used in the house are the filial piety of the master under the master's door, for example, this meat is a kind of demon beast, named deaf, like a dolphin with horns, loud voice, food is not squinting, replenishing the soul is the most mild, but the green vegetables are the leaves of the plant, resist nightmares, but also eat without squinting, is the top grade of warming the soul, the corn rice is used in the fairy court back to the land of the dragon millet, it is said to be irrigated with the blood of the demon dragon above the three realms, the food is light and healthy, and all diseases are not born. ”

Li Jie's brain was down instantly, what was there to eat? Isn't it the saying of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? So he tried to ask, "These are all demon specialties?" ”

Tao Yao nodded, "The sage once said that demons eat people, why don't people eat demons?" He can eat it, and I can eat it. However, the demon clan ingredients often have a large amount of demonic energy, and ordinary people will be infected by the demonic qi when they eat it, and the cultivators who need to enter the country to refine the demonic qi in it can make a contribution to refining the ingredients, and the ingredients often provide only half the effect of the force, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Li Xie moved with a flash of inspiration and said to Tao Yao, "After refining the ingredients, can you use them boldly with confidence, the kind that ordinary people can use?" ”

Tao Yao continued to nod, "Theoretically, these things you eat are recipes set by the master, and it is not easy to change." ”

Li Xie was overjoyed, and pulled up Taoyao, "Where is the kitchen?" Do you have any ingredients? ”

Tao Yao nodded, led Li out of the door, and walked towards the kitchen.

At this time, in the small courtyard of the island in the middle of the lake, the master and Mr. Liu sat opposite each other at the stone table in the pavilion, there were several delicate side dishes on the table, the color and flavor were good, the master picked up a piece of crispy meat and put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes, "Soft, smooth, slightly chewy, this is delicious." ”

Mr. Liu picked up a glass of wine and looked at the master angrily and funny, "As soon as Qi Zhu leaves, you will be so profligate, and you will not be a teacher." ”

"The old man is over 70 years old this year, and he can do whatever he wants." The master put down his chopsticks and poured himself a glass of wine, "How do you make Taoyao's food come to your mouth?" ”

"Halfway home, holding ancient book recipes, and painting scoops according to the gourd according to Qi Xu's appearance, it's really embarrassing for him." Mr. Liu smiled, "You prescribed a way to supplement food for that kid, didn't you think that Tao Yao could make it?" ”

"I'm used to it, when Qi Zhu is here, how can I ever worry about these little things." The master drank the wine in his hand, "I don't know what happened to Qi Zhu and the monkey in Kyoto." ”

Mr. Liu smiled, "You only have two hours to go to Kyoto, and you have time to go to other places to eat, but you don't have time to go to Kyoto to see what those two people have found." ”

"The teacher has something, and the disciple obeys it, and now that the disciple has something, I still have to take care of some. Qi Zhu once said that he only has four beauties in his life, beauty, wine, food, and beauty. The master said, "But there are also four major hatreds, hating beauty and whitehead, hating wine and getting drunk, hating inexhaustible food, and hating beautiful scenery." ”

"Live up to the beautiful scenery and eventually become empty, live up to the wine and not get drunk, live up to the delicious food, and live up to the beauty to see the white head." Mr. Liu said, "This is not a portrayal of your life?" ”

"You old tree is very bad, Huti, Huti." The Master said, "How have I failed her? ”

"You understand it yourself." Mr. Liu said, "I want to think about the past... ”

"Enough, enough." The master arched his hand at Mr. Liu, "Young and frivolous, it's good for you to be merciful." ”

"Qi Zhu sent a message, saying that the situation in Kyoto is generally stable, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and those big figures in the Executive Yuan of the Dynasty have frequently contacted the Xianting Buddha Kingdom and even the Demon Clan, and he hopes that you will go to Kyoto to stabilize the situation, otherwise something big may happen."

"Big deal?" The master played with the wine glass, "A few moths want to turn the sky upside down, he is also a scholar in the Five Realms, can't he shake the little people who are in a hurry?" ”

"There's one thing I know it's not to talk about." Mr. Liu looked hesitant and said to the master.

"I said you old tree, you should talk about it, don't talk about it if you don't talk about it." The Master said, "What's so difficult about it? ”

"Then I'll just say, don't turn your face." With a strange smile on his face, Mr. Liu said to the master, "There is a Confucian genius from the Kyoto Sijia, the article is splendid, the talent is brilliant, and the grade is already three realms. ”

"Homesickness? Confucianist? My doorman? The master's face suddenly turned blue, "Where did you come from homesickness in Kyoto?" Confucian children actually want to join my disciples? ”

"Kyoto Sijia was changed from a family surnamed Shen more than ten years ago, according to legend, the ancestor of the Shen family is Shen Xi Xianjun of the Two Realms Mountain, by the way, the previous head of the family is named Shen Huaixi, it is the great sacrificial wine of the Wushen Dynasty, and the current head of the family is Shen Huaixi's grandson, Shen Nan, no, it should be called Sinan." Ignoring the increasingly ugly face of the master, Mr. Liu continued, "The Confucian genius of the Sijia family is called Siyi, and he is the grandson of Sinan's relatives. ”

The master's hand on the table was tightly clenched, and he said coldly to Mr. Liu, "Go on." I see what you old tree has to say today. ”
