A pot of wine was placed on the table, and no one moved, and the meal changed from table to table. It can be seen that the master and apprentice have not been hungry these days, or they have not eaten these delicious foods for a while.

Xiao Wu saw that Lin Xi didn't move a few chopsticks, and then glanced at the apprentice who was gobbling up, and hurriedly scolded the apprentice for not eating at all.

Xiao Feiyun raised his head and looked at the mess on the table, regardless of his identity, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Liu Ye, the food here is so delicious, I haven't eaten these delicacies for a long time." ”

Lin Xi smiled: "It's okay, it seems that you have suffered a lot with your predecessors." ”

"That's not it, the master always said that cultivation must endure hardships, I wanted to grit my teeth and come over, but I didn't expect that after we came out, we had to rely on ourselves to find food in the mountains, as long as the place to live could cover the rain. This is called penance, it is simply a living sin. Xiao Feiyun finally found an object to complain about, and he couldn't wait to tell Lin Xi all the pain buried in his stomach one by one.

Lin Xi laughed softly: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Xiao Feiyun immediately swallowed the food in his mouth, pretended to be a sad face and said, "Brother Liu Ye, don't you know that every place our master and apprentice go to, I go to find food and a place to live. My master is good, and every time he looks like a master waiting for me to serve. ”

"Before he came out, he blew it to me, saying how good it is outside, how fun it is outside, and saying that he is a master outside, and his popularity is good to ensure that he comes out to eat and drink spicy food. As a result, he is a big fool, if you want to blame me, I have a good heart, I believe him too much......"

Xiao Feiyun said, wiping his tears with his other sleeve. Lin Xi listened carefully, without any coping appearance.

Xiao Wu, who was sitting on the other side, also listened carefully, but Xiao Wu had a few more green tendons on his forehead, and looked at his apprentice with a smile, ready to attack at any time.

Xiao Feiyun was talking to the fullest, where could he care about his master's expression. The more he spoke, the sadder he became, and the more mournful his voice became.

Although he is pretending, his acting skills are really powerful, and the shopkeeper who serves the dishes next to him is fascinated, and the older generation who eat here accuses his master of calling his apprentice as a person.

Lin Xi patted Xiao Feiyun on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of his master. Xiao Wu slapped the beat and said yes again and again.

Xiao Feiyun swallowed his saliva and turned around to go to the thatched house.

Xiao Wu smiled even more, and said softly: "Go slowly, I'll wait for you in the room." "He said it very lightly, but he gave you the same indescribable coercion.

"Master, I'm almost scared of my apprentice when you make me. So many people are looking at it, giving the apprentice some face. Xiao Feiyun's voice was not loud or small, and the people around him could hear it clearly.

The guests next to him were about to say something, but Xiao Wu blocked their words with a look.

When Xiao Feiyun saw this scene, he ran to the thatched house, leaving only a "goodbye master" and no one could be seen.

Lin Xi whispered: "Seniors aren't afraid that he really ran away?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Will he run? It's not the first day I've known him." Then he sighed to the thatched house, habitually preparing to clean up the table, only to find that this was a restaurant and not at home.

Xiao Wu rubbed his head and told Lin Xi again that their master and apprentice would leave early tomorrow morning, telling him not to waste the opportunity of this place in vain. Lin Xi smiled calmly and asked, "Senior, I ......."

Xiao Wu waved his hand to signal Lin Xi to stop, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”

"When that scoundrel comes back, I'll have to teach him a little bit of kung fu. After saying that, he hiccuped and staggered upstairs, and the shopkeeper came over to look at a pot of wine that had not been moved, his face was full of doubts, and he looked at the man who went upstairs again, isn't this a drunken appearance?

As soon as the shopkeeper cleaned up the table, a head poked out at the door of the thatched house and looked around, hesitated for a long time, and saw Lin Xi nodding before walking out.

"Hey, it's been eight lifetimes of mold for such a master on the stall. ”

"Alas, Brother Liu Ye, what are the chances that I will be beaten up?"

"I think it's all over if I go up, but my master loves me so much, and it's impossible to be ruthless. ”

"Why don't you mind if the two of us squeeze together tonight?" anyway, I don't mind, but my master always says that cultivators are better off not living together......

Xiao Feiyun was talking there by himself, and Lin Xi just listened quietly and did not speak.

Xiao Feiyun saw that Lin Xi didn't react, thinking that Lin Xi was not interested in these, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Liu Ye, why don't you also worship my master as a teacher." Don't look at him as unserious all day long, but he is really a first-class master in our family, which is why I am such an excellent apprentice. ”

Lin Xi asked lightly, "Is he very good at kung fu?" or is he very good at cultivation?"

Lin Xi finally spoke, Xiao Feiyun felt that he was very interested in this topic and continued: "He, his cultivation is not very high, but in his generation, I heard that he is invincible. Xiao Feiyun smiled proudly.

The topic of cultivation is what Lin Xi wants to know most now, and he only knows a little about cultivation from his own breathing method. The longer he studied the breathing method, the more Lin Xi found that the breathing method was useless so far except to make himself stronger.

In some small places, if you practice the breathing method to the extreme, you may be able to become a mountain king, but once you step out of these places and go to the real big world, then you can only be treated as a leaf in many forests, and no one will care about you.

Lin Xi, who had experienced some things, was even more determined to become a monk.

Xiao Feiyun was afraid that Lin Xi would really agree to his suggestion, so he hurriedly added: "Brother Liu Ye, I was joking about the apprenticeship, don't take it seriously, otherwise my master won't beat me to death." ”

Lin Xi nodded, signaling that it was okay. Even if he became Xiao Wu's apprentice, Lin Xi would not be willing, he knew that as long as he had a relationship with the family, he would always be tied to this pillar, to put it bluntly, if he joined the door of a certain family, he would join this family, and it would be troublesome to do anything in the future.

Although Lin Xi is not the kind of person who likes to be free, he has to help Master Yang deliver the letter, and he plans to return to the town after being cured or go all the way south to find Liu Ye and them.

Joining those sects was also considered by Lin Xi in advance, because there are not many rules in the sect, and when the time comes, it is better to find an opportunity to run out, with his own insipid appearance that he can find hundreds in the crowd, even if he runs away, no one will know.

"By the way, Brother Liu Ye, do you have any wives or daughters-in-law in your hometown?" Xiao Feiyun seemed to remember something, and asked with a grin.

Lin Xi was startled, and asked a little overwhelmed, "What are you going to do?"

"That's no, it's easy to do without. Xiao Feiyun said with a smile.

"It's not early, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, I'll take you back to your room." When Xiao Feiyun heard this, he thought that Lin Xi would leave early tomorrow morning, and he kept thinking about sending him something.

When he arrived at the door of the room, Xiao Feiyun hid behind Lin Xi and didn't dare to come out, so Lin Xi couldn't knock on the door.

Before the door opened, Xiao Wu's heavy footsteps were heard, coupled with a serious voice.

"I thought you were going to sleep on the street. Lin Xi nodded towards Xiao Wu and walked to his room.

As soon as Lin Xi entered the door, Xiao Wu grabbed his apprentice in and said, "Master will teach you a kung fu of eighteen rolls all over the ground tonight." ”

"Master, I was wrong, ah......"

"What's going on, kung fu is mutual, so I will fight you for the teacher, you don't fight back, come and come, don't care about the teacher, just attack. ”

"Ah...... Ahhh......h

Late at night, on the street outside the restaurant, it was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no one, which looked particularly bleak. It was already time for the temperature to rise, but the streets were extremely cold and windy. Under the light of the moon, you can see a looming figure on the street, like a ghost floating towards the door of the restaurant.

A knock on the door woke up the shopkeeper who had already fallen asleep, and he chattered about the fact that he didn't let people rest all night.

He didn't rush to open the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who, don't come in if it's not a big deal." ”

No one responded outside, only a gust of cold wind blew, and even the shopkeeper across the door felt cold. Seeing that there was no response, he thought it was just that the wind was too strong to blow the door, so he lifted a bench against the door.

The shopkeeper just turned around and was about to continue sleeping. There was another knock at the door, but the interval between the three knocks was longer, and each time it was heavier and heavier.

"Don't talk, don't open the door, don't keep knocking like a ghost. "The shopkeeper is really a little scared, this knock on the door is the same as the cold wind outside, he feels a chill, he doesn't dare to open the door now, this is too similar to the sound of a ghost knocking on the door.

The shopkeeper decided that even if he was scolded by the shopkeeper the next day, he would never open the door now.

The knock on the door outside sounded again, and the interval was longer than the last time, probably because it was too windy outside, and not many people noticed, only the shopkeeper couldn't sleep listening to the knock on the bed in bed.

Xiao Wu stood up and covered the unlucky apprentice who was sleeping soundly. Then he walked to the window and said aloud to the door: "If you wake up my apprentice, I won't be so good-tempered." ”

The knocking on the door continued, and the thing outside ignored Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu frowned and shouted angrily: "Looking for death!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no knocking or wind outside, and everything returned to calm.

Xiao Wu closed the window, no longer slept, sat on a chair and looked at his apprentice and laughed at himself: "It's not easy to be a master." ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Wu woke up his apprentice and took him away without explaining anything to him.

Xiao Feiyun hadn't woken up yet, and said dimly: "Master, what are we going to do here? My weapon hasn't been built yet!"

"Let's go back and build, it's time for us to go. After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he picked up Xiao Feiyun and jumped out of the restaurant from the window.

Xiao Wu looked around and saw that there was no one, the sky was not yet fully bright, and he grabbed his apprentice's hand and turned into a divine rainbow and flew towards the north.

"Master, didn't you say that you have to walk thousands of miles on your own? Why are you going to fly back now, and I still hope to meet a blacksmith on the road to make a weapon, and go back to show off in front of them. ”

"If you want to go, I'll throw you down and go by yourself. By the way, don't count on that fire, I've already given it to someone else. ”

"Master, you're not kidding, at that time, the strange fire you found was sent away, you just want to be angry with me!" Xiao Feiyun really cried this time, he knew the preciousness of that strange fire, and it was also going to be used to build weapons for him, but how could he not be angry when he said that it was gone.

"Hmph, accepting an apprentice is simply finding guilt for yourself, don't worry, I only gave Zihuo to others. The mother fire is for you. ”

Xiao Feiyun didn't know how happy he was when he heard it, and he muttered that it was better to be a master. But he was suddenly stunned and shouted: "Zihuo has been given to others! Except for you, master, who can withstand the backlash of that strange fire here! You won't give it to Brother Liu Ye, you want to kill him!"

Xiao Wu stopped on the top of a mountain and threw his apprentice down, took a deep breath and said: "The cycle of cause and effect, today's cause, his daily effect." ”

Xiao Feiyun sat on the ground and thought for a long time before he held back a sentence: "Master, are you talking about the cause and effect between me and him, or the cause and effect imposed by you, master?"

Xiao Wu looked at his young apprentice and looked at the sky and said softly: "It is worthy of my favorite apprentice......
