Looking at the jubilant monsters in the main hall, Xuan Ye silently put down the hand that was already empty above his head. Turning around, a man alone carried the heavy bamboo basket to the kitchen.

......

In the night, the branches of the hundred-foot-tall giant tree, the canopy like a mountain, swayed gently in the wind.

Intermittently dotted with white fruits in the shape of a child, radiating a milky white light on the treetops.

The dots of sparkling sparkled and fell to the ground, causing ripples out of thin air, and disappeared without a trace, as if there was an invisible and untouchable layer of water at the root of the tree.

At the rhizome, an old man in a black robe stood quietly, his eyes closed. In front of him was still the silhouette of a humanoid figure entwined in tree roots.

Every now and then, the ginseng fruit in the canopy of the tree will condense a milky white aura, flowing down the branches of the giant tree until it touches the silhouette of a human form. With each fusion, the silhouette of the humanoid trembled slightly, as if it were in pain. And when the condensed aura was red, the black-robed old man would stretch out his hand and raise it the moment before the aura touched the silhouette of the human form, pulling the aura away and scattering it.

It's like sifting through something.

Time passed bit by bit, and everything was quiet, simple and boring, and no one knew how long it would last.

A gust of wind blew, Yin Xing slowly walked behind him, knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Disciple Yin Xing, see master." ”

Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

"Back to the master's words, the Heavenly Survey Mansion sent someone to ask to see the master. ”

Zhen Yuanzi slowly closed his eyes again and said, "The people sent by the Heaven Survey Mansion?"

"Yes. ”

"Why do you want to see you?"

Yin Xinggan swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "A few days ago, several monsters strayed into Wanshou Mountain, and the disciples saw that they were injured, so they took them in out of pity. Now, they have entered the Xuanyin Temple as monks. But Heavenly Court sent people to ask for it, saying that they were wanted criminals. ”

"You took in the wanted criminals of the Heavenly Court, and they also worshiped the Xuanyin Temple as monks?"

Hearing this, Yin Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "The disciples didn't know that they were wanted criminals in the Heavenly Court before! Worshipping in Xuanyin Temple was indeed intentionally promoted by the disciples, but that was because they were deserters from the demon army. The Lord will still be waiting outside the Longevity Mountain, ready to arrest them. So...... That's why ......"

Zhen Yuanzi closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking.

Yin Xing suddenly panicked a little at this silence, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep his head down and wait quietly.

After a long time, Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes slightly and said, "For the teacher to know, retreat." ”

"Those monsters, how to deal with them, please make it clear to the master. ”

"You can dispose of it yourself. ”

"Yes, master. That...... How should the messenger reply?

"Let him wait. ”

"Wait...... For how long?"

"Wait until he doesn't want to wait. Zhen Yuanzi said softly: "It's the Heaven Surveyor Mansion Yin who is here, and he responds like this, let alone a messenger?"

"Disciple, obey. With that, Yin Xing bowed deeply, got up, and retreated.

When Yin Xing left, Zhen Yuanzi sighed lightly, and smiled at the humanoid silhouette: "You have hurt the old man, in the past ten years, the old man has not been able to go anywhere." ”

The breeze blew, caressing the falling crystals, like glowing rain and snow in the dark night.

There was silence.

......

"Are you sure the word reads 'quenching'?"

White Frost nodded emphatically.

"What about the word?"

"'Dry'. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This ...... I can't tell. White Frost lowered his head, a look of helplessness.

With great difficulty, the monkey filled in all the words he didn't know in a few pages, but unfortunately he recognized the individual words and put them together...... The hoarfrost is not recognized. It's just that things like exercises are very awkward, and you can't guess them.

"Qianyuan Lanyue, what the fuck does this mean?"

After tossing and turning for a while, he was still confused, and the monkey's brows were frowned.

"Didn't the storyteller in that teahouse say that you can learn it when you get the cheats?"

"Yes, yes, I remember, that's what he said. ”

"Actually, if he really understands, why would he still tell books?"

Da Hong said this coldly on the side, and suddenly, all the monsters were a little deflated.

Touching the horns on his head, Niu Tou added: "Last time, there was a storyteller who quarreled with someone, saying whether Di Jun was the Jade Emperor." When someone gave him a tael of silver, he said yes. ”

For a while, all the monsters, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak. Dare to love his previous thoughts, all living in a dream.

Looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand, the monkey was speechless for a while.

"I finally got the exercises, but I didn't use it. In this case, in the end, you still have to find a way to worship the three-star cave of the slanting moon...... Okay, I'll figure it out tomorrow. ”

"Can you think of a way?" Da Hong sighed helplessly: "Look at his attitude today, let alone entering the door, don't let him ask." ”

"If you can't think of it, you have to think about it, but if you can't do it, you will kneel at the door and not leave!" said the monkey through gritted teeth, "Maybe one day he will be willing to teach us when he is annoyed by us?"

Suddenly, a white frost spirit stood up: "It's not good, rice!"

With that, he quickly turned around and walked towards the kitchen. The other monsters also hurriedly followed one by one.

In the kitchen, Xuan Ye was squatting alone in front of the stove, silently adding fire to the rice that was being cooked.

Seeing the demons, he smiled and said, "The rice is not cooked yet, you wait." Just wait a little longer. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped a wisp of charcoal ash on it.

The scene froze.

The moonlight shone obliquely through the window, illuminating the small, cramped kitchen.

Bursts of white smoke rose up.

Genba continued to concentrate on lowering his head and burning the fire, the light of which illuminated his immature face.

Not far away, at the door of the kitchen, a group of youkai were standing like this. Looking at the Xuanye and the monkeys one by one, they were a little overwhelmed.

The monkey still held the two pages of exercises tightly in his hands. After a moment, he swallowed dryly and glanced left and right.

"I don't understand. Blacktail shook his head.

"I don't understand a fart, is there a reason to let the abbot work? Hurry up, give me help. ”

"Oh oh!

Even kicking and kicking, a group of monsters quickly rushed up one by one, instantly crowded the kitchen, and got busy with all hands and feet.

"No, no, it's okay to come alone for the teacher. You'd better go and study the exercises. It's enough for one person here. ”

Xuan Ye wanted to stop it, but he was such a small child, and he was directly ignored. Even with a slight scraping of the fat intestines, he had to take two steps back.

In this noisy scene, the monkey reached out and held Xuanye's two arms, lifted him in front of him, reached out and wiped the charcoal stain on Xuanye's face, and said, "Master, who did you do this? That one...... Apprentice, I want to tell you about that exercise, the exercise. ”

"Hmm. Genba nodded.

"I don't understand, are you going to the three-star cave of the slanting moon tomorrow?"

"Don't go, stay in the temple tomorrow. ”

"Why are you staying in the temple?"

"The vegetables in the vegetable garden can almost be harvested, and after harvesting the vegetables, you can exchange things with Wuzhuang Guan and Xiyue Sanxingdong. ”

"It's okay, just let them do it. ”

However, they may not understand it. ”

"What's wrong with this? Hehehehe, you can take me to the three-star cave of the oblique moon tomorrow, I want to ask for advice. When I have learned the magic and there is nothing to worry about, I will wholeheartedly pray to you and ...... with you Together, we will benefit all beings. How can receiving food be as important as purifying sentient beings, right?" said that, the monkey looked at Xuanye with a smile, and reached out to touch Xuanye's head.

After a slight hesitation, Xuan Ye finally nodded: "Okay." ”

......

The sky was gray and bright.

In front of the main hall of Wuzhuang Temple, Zhu Gangguan was still standing quietly, his eyes closed. The middle-aged Taoist priest beside him was about to faint.

"Stand still!"

The pig just screamed, and the Taoist priest was startled and hurriedly lifted his spirits. Hunched over and shivering.

Zhu Gang looked at the Taoist priest coldly.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest had to tremble slightly and touch his bloody leg with his hand, and said resignedly: "It hurts......"

"Can't die. Zhu Gangguan glanced at him directly, and turned to look at Yin Xingdao on the side: "Brother Dao, I've been waiting all night, how long will it take for Wanshou Daxian to meet the last general?"

"The master said that he would meet you, that is, he would meet you, and you can wait with peace of mind. As he spoke, Yin Xing smiled faintly and said, "An hour, a day, a month, a year...... It depends on your creation. ”

The two looked at each other silently.

Zhu Gang was expressionless, and Yin Xing was smiling politely.

After a while, Zhu Gangguan said softly: "Okay, the last general understands." In this case, I also asked Brother Dao to arrange a place for the last general and this Taoist leader. He is good at recuperating from his injuries, and he can also wait for the call of the longevity immortal. ”

"Yes. Wuzhuang Guan has always been hospitable, and you can stay as long as you are happy. This side please. As he spoke, Yin Xing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
