Chapter 12: Choices
Yan Yan felt that she had always been very good at talking, but in front of this little Taoist, she was always angry to death. And the most hateful thing is that I still think he is right.
"How do you know!" Yan Yan was a little embarrassed, and said recklessly.
"Because even Brother Lonely can't learn it. The little Taoist priest said calmly. He taught Detachment a thousand years ago, but no matter how much he taught, he couldn't teach it, so he simply stopped teaching.
When Yan Yan heard this, she was also a little surprised. "Brother Lonely is the one who beat me today?
The little Taoist priest nodded slightly. You can't even learn a character like Brother Lone, do you still want to learn? How is that possible?
Yan Yan looked at the little Taoist priest looking at her changing expression, and Yan Yan was angry.
"Does if he can't learn mean I can't learn?" Yan Yan was really a little unconvinced. He felt that although he couldn't beat the loneliness, it was only a gap in cultivation, and it had nothing to do with talent. He felt that he had embarked on his own cultivation without a teacher until now, and when he had relied on others, it was not all his own way up.
Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest showed a smile after hearing this, wanting to laugh but couldn't. What kind of character is Brother Lonely, who was a teenager thousands of years ago, and can go against the way of heaven. The terrifying existence of all beings, just because she still wants to be compared with Brother Lone?
"You can't learn. "The little Taoist priest cut the railway.
"You'll never learn!" the little Taoist priest paused, and then added. In his opinion, he is just stating a fact, but in Yan Yan's eyes, it is naked humiliation.
At this time, Yan Yan's face turned red with shame, and she couldn't wait to find a crack to drill through. This little Taoist priest will die if he speaks tactfully, how can he be a woman, he is still such a beautiful woman, that man doesn't understand amorous feelings, and he doesn't know how to destroy flowers with spicy hands, how can this little Taoist priest be like this! Stinky man! Men don't have a good thing.
The little Taoist priest didn't care what she was thinking, she looked at the moon overhead, and then exclaimed: "It's so late! Oh, it's all your fault, I'm going to be scolded by Brother Lonely!" After speaking, he ran towards the inn where Lonely was located. He originally came out to help Lonely Li buy some medicinal herbs, and came out to shop by the way, after all, he had been staying in the inn, asking about the food sold on both sides of the street, and the little Taoist priest couldn't help but leave saliva. Only then did he personally ask Ying to come down and help him buy medicine. As a result, passing by a few shops can not move his feet, bought a lot of food, just walked on the road, holding a big chicken leg in his hand to gnaw, but was suddenly hit by a stone on the head, and the chicken leg was dirty, the little Taoist priest looked at the chicken leg that fell on the ground and wanted to cry without tears, so he planned to teach the person who threw the stone a lesson, but he didn't expect it to be the woman today, it was really fate. And that's what comes next.
At this time, the little Taoist priest hurried back to the inn, and saw that the door was closed, and there was no light inside, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He gently opened the door with his hand, carefully put his head in and looked around, and found that there was no change, so he tiptoed into the room, but as soon as he entered the room, the candle was lit, and he saw three people standing behind the little Taoist priest like evil ghosts.
"Ahh
Seeing that the little Taoist priest was taken aback, the three of them couldn't help laughing. Lonely smiled and said to the two children, "You see I'm right, he must have been taken aback. ”
Xiaoyu was very considerate of the little Taoist, and after laughing a few times, she didn't laugh if she didn't think it was good, but the twitching expression on her face had already betrayed her. When the little Taoist priest saw it, he was angry.
"Yes, you scare me!" said the little Taoist priest angrily. I'm tired out there, at least that's what I think. They actually teamed up to scare themselves, which was too much.
After a few people had laughed enough, Silence Li stretched out a hand, and the little Taoist priest rolled his eyes and handed the package to Silence. Lonely Li took it and sniffed it: "Why does it smell like chicken legs?"
The little Taoist priest hurriedly said: "I don't know, maybe it was because I accidentally got it when I passed along the road." "He can't let them know he's out stealing food.
Lonely glanced at the corners of the little Taoist's mouth, and shook his head helplessly: "Next time you finish eating, remember to wipe your mouth, a mouthful of oil!"
When the little Taoist priest heard this, he wiped it with his hand, and when he saw that it was really true, he shouted carelessly.
Lonely left him alone, and was just about to start alchemy, when there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Silence gestured to the little Taoist priest and asked him to open the door.
The little Taoist priest walked over and opened the door, not thinking about whether it was dangerous or not, he had the confidence to leave here when danger came. The door opened, and the little Taoist priest was a little surprised when he saw the comer: "Why are you?"
The person who came was Yan Yan, after the little Taoist priest left, Yan Yan thought about it and decided to follow it over, and when she arrived at the door, she hesitated again and again, or chose to knock on the door.
"Isn't it good that a girl of yours came knocking on our door at night?"
"That... I want to follow you!" Yan Yan pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, blushing and not daring to look at the loneliness.
When he heard that this woman was going to follow them, his brows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "Refuse!"
Yan Yan was also angry and annoyed when she saw that she refused without hesitation, and her voice couldn't help but be a little louder: "Why? I'm alone, can you bear me living on the streets?" After speaking, she pretended to be pitiful, if ordinary people would really be deceived by her appearance, but what she met today was not an ordinary person.
Silence glanced at him with some disgust: "I don't like to say it a second time, you took me 10,000 gold coins today, don't tell me it's not enough for you to live?" Also, don't pretend to be disgusting, this morning I thought you were not too bad even if you were a thief, I didn't expect you to be like this, I was blind, I shouldn't have saved you." "Lonely speaks without a trace of emotion, as cold as an ice cellar, this is the breath of a long-time superior, no one can control him, he has his own rules of conduct.
Yan Yan thought that she could get sympathy by pretending to be a little woman, even if she didn't get sympathy, but she wouldn't drive her out, as long as she didn't dare to leave her, she would have a way to make Silence accept her. It's just that I didn't expect Lonely to have such an expression, and the disgust on her face was overflowing, and I couldn't wait to let her go. This attitude really made Yan Yan a little confused.
"No, why not. Before Yan Yan finished speaking, Lonely stopped looking at her and closed the door.
He originally thought that Yan Yan was just stealing things to help the poor live, which was not too bad, but just now Yan Yan's behavior directly annoyed Silence, and he felt that this woman was too fake, causing Silence to begin to wonder if what she said to herself during the day today was true.
Yan Yan was a little confused by Silence's action, why? Why did he hate himself so much? She clearly felt Silence's disgust for her. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails embedded in the flesh, blood on the ground along the palms. She was unwilling, why did he treat him like this? He didn't do anything wrong? She still didn't understand why Lonely Li disliked her, she just felt that Lonely Li simply felt that she had stolen his money, and that she was a thief so she looked down on herself.
"Well, since you're doing this to me, don't blame me for being rude. Yan Yan's eyes became fierce, she originally saw the little Daoist's ability tonight, and thought that she could join them, and then let them help her get rid of the Blue Demon Daoist, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
Yan Yan took a deep look at the room where she was alone, her eyes full of resentment.
"Hmph, wait!" he said, turning to leave. She needed to prepare, she had just seen the two children in the room. But if you want to avoid the little Taoist priest and the silence and capture the two, you still need some preparation.
"Brother Lone, you have just gone a little too far. Seeing that Yan Yan was leaving, the little Taoist priest said helplessly to the lonely man who was fiddling with the medicinal herbs.
"Is it over?" he sneered, he didn't think it was too much, he didn't even think it was enough.
"I don't think she's that kind of person. The little Taoist priest said sincerely.
Lonely Li looked up at the little Taoist priest with a serious expression, knowing that what he said was true. "You used that, didn't you?"
The little Taoist priest nodded: "That's why I knew that what she said should be sincere." He used the Ming Heart Spell the first time he saw Yan Yan, and the caster could clearly feel the inner thoughts of the caster, so the little Taoist was sure that what she said was true, she just wanted to join them.
"You may be right, but she's gone, let's talk about it. Silence didn't take it to heart at all, although he believed in the Taoist mantra, he also believed in his intuition, he felt that this woman came to him so late, there must be other reasons, no matter what it was, he didn't want to have anything to do with this woman. This woman is too fake, and he doesn't like it very much.
The little Taoist priest just nodded when he saw Silence, knowing that he didn't take it to heart, so he had to sigh and stop saying anything, he knew that Silence would not change it at will as long as he made a decision, just like a thousand years ago. Knowing that it would cause the disaster of killing, he still went to Jiuyou to grab a Jiuyou mandala, knowing that if he activated the big array, he would be counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao and the Dao of life and death, but he still resolutely activated it.
The little Taoist priest no longer persuaded him, so he beckoned the two children to sleep, and when the two children were asleep, the little Taoist priest came over and found that he was refining medicine with an alchemy furnace at this time. Seeing that he condensed the fire with one hand and put the medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace with the other, the flames spread, burning the Dan furnace red.
"Why did you use the Dan furnace?" the little Taoist priest asked.
"Empty-handed alchemy is too weird, if it is looked at and hyped up, it is inevitable that some small people will covet it. Although Lonely looked focused on controlling the flames, he could still be distracted and communicate with the little Taoist.
"Yes, what kind of Dan are you practicing here?" the little Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully, and then asked.
"It's not an elixir, it's a poison!" said silently.
The little Taoist priest was shocked: "Poison! Why are you practicing it!"
Silence turned his head and glanced at him speechlessly: "Don't make a fuss, okay, keep your voice quiet, the two children are still asleep, this is not a poison, it's just a mixture of some medicinal herbs that make people have no strength, and it is used for self-defense." ”
I was relieved to hear that this was not some deadly poison. "Then you continue to practice, I'll go and rest. After saying that, he waved his hand and went to sleep.
Silence ignored him, and continued to stare at the alchemy furnace in front of him, thinking about something.
The next morning, everyone woke up from their sleep, looking at the loneliness sitting on the chair drinking tea, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but wonder: "You haven't slept all night?"
Silence took out a box, there were four pills neatly placed in it, Silence took out one and put it in his mouth, handed the rest to the rest of the people, motioned for them to eat, everyone looked at each other, but when they saw that Silence also ate, they were also relieved, picked up one and put it in their mouths.
"It's still a little sweet, is it a jelly bean?" Xiaoyu put it in her mouth and felt it, and couldn't help but light up her eyes, it was actually sweet.
"I added some vermilions. It tastes pretty good, right? Seeing the little girl's happy expression, he was also quite relieved, and felt that his caution was not in vain.
"I'm giving you an antidote. Seeing that they had finished eating, Silence took out another medicine and crushed it in front of them, and a strange fragrance came out and filled the room.
"It's so fragrant!" Xiaoyu sniffed and said happily.
Seeing the little girl's excited appearance, Lonely Li explained: "Don't just think it's fragrant, as long as you smell a little bit of this fragrance, that person will be weak and paralyzed to the ground." The main thing is that no matter how advanced the cultivation is, it is useless. Unless you have an antidote, you can only obediently admit it. ”
Xiaoyu was also very surprised when he heard this, he would have no strength when he smelled the smell, this is too powerful, and the younger brother on the side seemed to have grasped something, suddenly raised his head to look at Lonely Li, and pleaded: "Brother Silence, I want to learn alchemy!"
Seeing the little boy's sincere expression, he was quite surprised, but he didn't expect the little boy to say that he wanted to learn alchemy, and he couldn't help but look at him with some curiosity.
"Then you don't cultivate immortals?"
"No, I think that before I have a certain strength, alchemy can greatly improve my combat ability. You can also give yourself a certain ability to protect yourself. The little boy told Silence what he thought.
Lonely listened to the little boy's words, his eyes were full of approval. Good seedlings! Know what they lack most now.
"Okay, I'll go out with your Taoist brother first, you stay in the room, don't go anywhere. I'll teach you alchemy when I get back. After saying that, he called the little boy to his side, took out a few pills and handed them to him.
"This is the real poison pill, if you encounter danger, crush it, although it is not fatal, but it can also make people miserable, I will give it to you, you take it with you, protect yourself and your sister. ”
The little boy held the elixir tightly in his hand and nodded heavily.
"I will definitely protect my sister. ”
"Okay, then let's go" Silence waved at them, and went out with the little Taoist.
After going out for a while, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but say, "Brother Lone, your behavior today is very strange, and what you said to them before you left has a deep meaning." ”
"I hope my worries are unwarranted. Silence said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" The little Taoist priest felt that this lonely brother was a little strange today, no, it had been strange since last night.
Silence glanced at him, and he didn't say anything, just walked quietly by the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Not long after, I came to a pharmacy - Ho Kee Pharmacy. The shop is huge, and the people in it come and go, which is enough to see that the store is famous.
"What are you bringing me here for?" the little Taoist priest wondered.
"Of course it's to help me carry things, or else I'm really going to take you out to play in the streets?" Silence rolled his eyes, and walked in, and the little Taoist followed behind speechlessly, what, he really thought he was out to play. Unexpectedly, he was brought in as a laborer. It's all routines.
"Boss, are the things I asked you to prepare?" asked the boss as soon as he entered the door.
The boss was busy entertaining guests at this time, and when he heard someone calling him, he looked up and saw that it was lonely, so he hurriedly greeted him.
"Ready, of course ready, all in the back, just waiting for you. The boss is not very old, in his forties, and at this time he is full of smiles and looks at Lonely with a flattering face.
Silence nodded, "Yes, take me to get it." ”
The boss immediately nodded, and then beckoned the guys on the side to look at the store in front, and he took the two of them to the back. The boss took out a large bag of things from behind and put them in front of them, and said to Lonely Li, "This is the medicinal herb you wanted." Oh, yes, and this one. The boss then ran to a corner, panting and slowly walking over with a ding.
When the little Taoist priest saw such a big ding, his brows jumped, "This is also what you want?"
"Hmm!" said Silence smiled at the little Taoist. The little Taoist priest chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that he was bad and deceived. That's what used me as a coolie. Lonely left no matter how bitter water appeared on his face, holding a large wave of medicinal herbs, after thanking the boss, he squeezed his eyes at the little Taoist priest and motioned him to get it quickly.
The little Taoist priest took a deep breath, picked up the tripod and walked out, without saying a word along the way, obviously angry and angry. Lonely Li also felt that he had gone too far, so he ran to the side of the road and bought a string of sugar gourds. Lonely handed the sugar gourd to the little Taoist, the little Taoist ignored him, and then took out another sugar gourd, the little Taoist took a deep look, still ignored him, Lonely raised his eyebrows, yo, it's hard, didn't it, he bought five sugar gourds directly, the little Taoist's eyes lit up, and when he saw Lonely Leave's playful expression, he hurriedly pretended to be serious.
"Put it in the ding, I'll eat it when I go back. ”
Lonely laughed, secretly smug in my heart, it's not easy to deal with you, if one doesn't work, there will be two, and if two can't work, there will be three, I see how long you can persevere. Lonely put the sugar gourd in the ding, the little Taoist priest looked at the sugar gourd in the ding, full of strength, as soon as he thought that he could eat it when he went back, the color of joy came spontaneously,
