Ren Xiao and Dangkong walked down the mountain, and Dangkong wrapped his head and face with a strip of cyan cloth, and wore a shabby cloak on his body. Ren Xiao said to Dangkong: "Master Dangkong, are you really determined to leave Shaolin Temple?"

Dangkong's deep eyes were full of perseverance, and said: "I know, in fact, the abbot is forced to make this decision, where there is light, there will be shadows, and I am willing to bear this darkness for Shaolin Temple." Ren Xiao suddenly realized: "Actually, you already knew that Master Hongyi would expel you from Shaolin Temple?" As he spoke, he took off a string of Buddhist beads that had been hanging around his neck and wrapped it around his left arm.

Ren Xiao looked at Dangkong's eyes full of admiration, and suddenly remembered that only Huikong was the only one on the mountain who agreed with Hongyi's decision just now, so he asked: "The little master who just agreed with Master Hongyi, he still looks like a child, could it be that he saw the hidden secret?" Ren Xiao exclaimed: "Little Master Huikong is really good, when everyone feels sorry for you, only he sees the truth of the matter." ”

The two walked all the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and they were nothing more than talking to each other about the current situation and their views on the current situation. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, he said to Ren Xiao in the air: "Lord Ren, although you are young, you are also a person who understands righteousness, and it is a great honor to meet you with a poor monk." Ren Xiao waved his hand and said: "Where is Master Kong, a person like you who would rather be alone for the sake of the overall situation is an example for me to learn!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in the air: "Since the two of us are so fateful, you don't call me master in the future, just call me by my law name!" Ren Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Then how can it be done, according to seniority, you are also a few years older than me, if you don't dislike it, I will call you the second brother, how about it!"

Dangkong smiled and said, "Okay, since Brother Ren Xiao looks at me like this, then I will gladly accept it." Ren Xiao asked again: "Then what are you going to do now, second brother?" Dangkong looked at the road in front of him, and said: "I'll first inquire about what bandit gangs are in Tianshui, and I'll start with them!" Ren Xiao arched his hand and said: "Second brother is so courageous, if I am idle after I go back, I will definitely go to find the second brother and help the second brother! If you encounter any difficulties, just come to Shanyangtang to find me, I will definitely help." He arched his hand and said: "Then you and I will say goodbye to each other first, and then we will have a long talk when we meet in the future!"

After the two separated, Ren Xiao rushed back to Shanyangtang non-stop, and his mind was full of empty actions along the way. After returning to the Sacred Cultivation Hall, the children who had grown up in the Charitable Cultivation Hall rushed back as soon as they received the letters, including some of Ren Xiao's old friends.

Among them, there is a generous girl, seeing Ren Xiao coming back, this slim girl in a pink dress immediately greeted her, and said to Ren Xiao: "I heard Teacher Xinglin say, you came back long before us, and you haven't seen you for three years, you don't come to me, what about the future you say?" Ren Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard it, and then another Humpty Dumpty man with a kitchen knife stuck behind his waist came over and said: " I said Kiki, you don't use those childhood promises to pressure Ren Xiao, don't you know that he has always dreamed of becoming a generation of heroes? Tian Yuqi pointed at the fat man and said: "What do you call this, the promise you made when you were a child is not a promise, can you regret what you promised when you grow up?"

Ren Xiao watched the two partners who grew up with him quarrel, but there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Everyone is an orphan and has no relatives, and they have long regarded each other as their own brothers and sisters since they were children. Ren Xiao saw that the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, so he changed the topic and said, "I said Zhou Quming, I haven't eaten the food you made for three years, didn't you prepare something for me to eat?"

Zhou Quming immediately stopped arguing with Tian Yuqi and said, "Ha, I already knew that you would say that, and when I came back, I heard that you went out to run errands, so I prepared food for you and waited for you to come back." Tian Yuqi hurriedly interjected: "Xiao, I have also prepared food for you, try my craftsmanship!" Ren Xiao was surprised: "Hey, Qiqi, don't you know how to cook?" I remember that every time we were hungry when we were young, Zhou Quming secretly made food for us to eat. ”

Tian Yuqi said disdainfully: "Hmph, I've long been tired of eating what this guy makes, so I learned to make things by myself later." Ren Xiao smiled: "Oh! So, then I must try it." Zhou Quming stood in front of Tian Yuqi and said to Ren Xiao: "Ren Xiao, don't forget, when she said that she wanted to cook food for us, I waited for two hours, and finally ate something, and I believe that you must still remember that taste!" Zhou Quming's words evoked Ren Xiao's taste meeting, and a dry bark appeared in his mind. Ren Xiao frowned, and just about to speak, Tian Yuqi said: "People will grow, do you think everyone is like you, you will only do one thing from childhood to adulthood! Xiao, you can taste it!"

Ren Xiao began to feel embarrassed, but when he saw Tian Yuqi launching a coquettish offensive, he had to agree and said, "Okay, then I'll taste Qiqi's food first." ”

A meal full of color and flavor was placed in front of Ren Xiao on the table, and Tian Yuqi's expectant expression was in stark contrast to Zhou Quming's disdain. Ren Xiao picked up the chopsticks, folded his hands and said, "I'm going to start!"

Ren Xiao's mouth was chewing, and he looked like he was enjoying it. Tian Yuqi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and asked, "Xiao, how does it taste?" Ren Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Yes, yes! Compared to the previous dry bark, it is much better!" After listening to Ren Xiao's words, Zhou Quming looked at him in surprise and said, "Ren Xiao, there can't be a problem with your tongue!" After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and immediately spit it out, saying, "What is this! It's completely the taste of old roots!"

Ren Xiao frowned, endured the pain and said, "That's right! Compared to the previous dry bark, has it grown now!" Tian Yuqi saw the painful expressions of the two, and also understood that the food he made was very palatable, and said disappointedly: "I've worked hard, but I can't do it well, and I don't want to do this!"

Seeing Tian Yuqi's lonely expression, Ren Xiao immediately smiled and said: "No! Actually, it's not so unpalatable, it's really a lot better than before, as long as you keep going, you will surpass Zhou Quming one day." Zhou Quming also comforted her: "Although it is not very delicious, I often eat some delicious food, and occasionally try something that is not delicious, so that I can compare! Tian Yuqi burst into tears and said with a smile: "You two, you have been used to me since you were a child, which caused me to cook badly now, so you have to pay full responsibility, and today I will punish you for eating up this food, you can't waste it!"

The two looked at each other and begged for mercy: "Grandma, spare the two of us!"

Just when the three of them were joking with each other, reminiscing about the joy of childhood, Xing Lin knocked on the door and said, "Ren Xiao, there are four teenagers outside, saying that they are your friends!"

Feng Shang looked left and right at the door of the Good Cultivation Hall, and said, "It turns out that this is where Ren Xiao grew up! Just when Feng Shang and the others were waiting for Ren Xiao outside the door, a figure suddenly climbed the big tree on the side while a few people were not paying attention.

"Be careful, there is a hidden weapon!" Mu Ziyi reminded Feng Shangdao. Feng Shang hadn't reacted to what was happening, and as soon as he turned around, a small pebble hit his forehead. Feng Shang covered his forehead and looked around, shouting in his mouth: "Who dares to sneak attack me! If you have the ability to come out and fight alone, what kind of hero is hiding in the shadows!" Ye Lan had already found out that this was actually a prank by a child on the tree, and she didn't say anything, just waiting for Feng Shang to make a fool of herself.

Just as Feng Shang was anxiously looking around, another stone hit the back of his head behind him, Feng Shang was furious, and said, "I'm angry!" The child in the tree wanted to continue the sneak attack, but was discovered by Feng Shang. Feng Shang thought it was a bad guy, so he pulled out a thunder stick and said, "Look where you are hiding!"

As he spoke, he rushed to the treetops, and when the children in the treetops saw that the other party had found him, he was frightened, slipped his feet, and fell from the tree. Feng Shang saw that it was a child, and saw him fall from the tree and think, and wanted to save it but found that it was too late, and when he was annoyed that he was reckless, he saw a figure flash under the tree and catch the child.

Ren Xiao put Erhua on the ground, knocked on his head and said, "Erhua, you are naughty again, you dare to joke on the guests!" Xinglin on the side was furious, and scolded angrily: "Erhua, big cow, you two will go to the vegetable garden to pull weeds for me!" After speaking, he grabbed the ears of the two children and walked away.

Feng Shang walked over and said to Ren Xiao: "Tut-tut, I haven't seen you for a few days and become the king of children!" Ren Xiao saw the second wave of old friends in one day, and said excitedly: "Why did you get here? How did you find each other." As he spoke, he looked at Luo Yun and Mu Ziyi, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was about to be happy when he saw that Ren Xiao was about to recognize him, but Ren Xiao said: "This brother ......" Feng Shang laughed and said: "If you can know him, I will let you be a donkey!" Before Feng Shang's words fell, Ren Xiao was pleasantly surprised: "Ye Lan! How can you be with them! It's been a long time, why have you become a Taoist priest again?" Ye Lan's face was already sinking and instantly relieved, and said: "All this is a long story, I will slowly tell you when I have the opportunity in the future!" By the way, what did Feng Shang say just now?"
