An hour later, when Bai Xiaoyi walked into the courtyard with a large bag of things, he saw that the cheap master who had just recognized him was guiding Ao Cangfeng to practice swordsmanship by hand.

This scene made Bai Xiaoyi feel very uncomfortable, although he was not happy to be the apprentice of this old Taoist, but since the master recognized it, he should teach him the nominal apprentice, it was just a long time ago, and the old bull nose actually ran to hook up with other people, and he blocked his heart when he thought about it. Besides, even if you hook up with other people as apprentices, don't teach that person with the surname Proud, what's so great about that kid, isn't his kung fu better than himself. In order to snatch the broken sword pill, not only did he injure Mei'er, but he also beat the house where he lived like this, Bai Xiaoyi was angry when he saw him.

He carried a large number of things, swayed left and right into the yard, threw the things in his hand to the ground indiscriminately, and the young man said angrily:

"Well, everything was bought. ”

The Qingyi Daoist didn't even look at this rogue boy, and still looked at Ao Cangfeng showing the sword moves he had just comprehended over there with satisfaction, nodding his head in appreciation, and at the same time correcting the shortcomings of the young man's movements.

Glaring at this old Taoist priest who couldn't be provoked viciously, Bai Xiaoyi transferred all the fire in his belly to Ao Cangfeng, he threw a newly bought futon at the young man's feet, and said scoldingly:

"Hey, the one surnamed Ao, this thing is for you, clean it up yourself. ”

Raising his foot in a chic way and stepping on the package that let him come, the young man with the sword said indifferently:

"Thank you. ”

kicked the futon into the side hall where he lived, turned around arrogantly, and continued to wave his long sword without distraction. His arrogant attitude made Bai Xiaoyi more and more depressed, but just as he was about to attack again, the green-shirted Taoist on the side suddenly spoke:

"Why are you stunned? I didn't go to prepare the teacher's bed, and seeing that it was getting late, I cleaned up the house and went to prepare dinner. Why are you looking at me? Don't go yet. ”

Bai Xiaoyi looked at the old Taoist with a bitter face, and there was a hundred reluctance in his heart. But after seeing the old cow's nose raised his thunderous left hand, the young man shrunk his neck and ran to clean up the house.

After more than an hour, Bai Xiaoyi was busy like a diligent house slave, and after cleaning up the beds in the main hall, he ran to the yard to clean up the debris and debris. On the other hand, the old Taoist priest guided the arrogant wind to practice swordsmanship, and the latter also seized this rare opportunity to learn as much as possible from this hidden predecessor in the rivers and lakes.

For a moment, Bai Xiaoyi even felt that the two people in the courtyard were the real masters and apprentices, and he was just a hard-working house slave. After lamenting for a while that he had met someone, the rogue boy drooped his face and continued to get busy with the work in hand.

When the sun set, Bai Xiaoyi stuck out his tongue and leaned against the pillar, weakly fiddling with the charcoal fire in front of him. A pot of fragrant fish soup was boiling on the fire, and on the ground around it, there were also six or seven kinds of cooked dry food in large bags.

After carefully looking at the properly cleaned room and the sumptuous dinner, Xi Yingzhen nodded approvingly:

"Well, the children are teachable. Although the qualifications and character are a little worse, they are obedient and diligent. ”

Rolling his eyes weakly, Bai Xiaoyi replied insincerely:

Master Xie praised that apprentices are the life of handymen, and they are used to these rough jobs. ”

Glancing at the apprentice who had just been accepted, the old Taoist priest shouted towards the arrogant wind in the courtyard:

"Cangfeng, come and eat together. ”

The young man in the courtyard put away his swords and replied with some embarrassment:

"Seniors, you can solve it yourself in the next place, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

The Qingyi Taoist said in a kind tone:

"Xiaoyou is polite, we are all people in the rivers and lakes, we should act freely, just a meal of wine and food, and it doesn't cost much silver. Is it possible, are you still afraid that the old Taoist priest will poison you?"

Hearing this, Ao Cangfeng hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Juniors don't dare!"

"Okay, okay, don't mother-in-law, come and sit down. Rice is a thing that is fragrant when there are more people. ”

The old Taoist priest sat down with a big grin and unceremoniously filled a large bowl of fish soup. Bai Xiaoyi, who was silent on the side, looked at the pile of food in front of him and the somewhat disrespectful old Taoist priest opposite after hearing the words of this cheap master. Yes, this dilapidated temple has not been so lively for a long time.

I remember ten years ago, the old monk who was thin and thin, every time he came back, he would light a fire, and while cooking vegetable soup, he would share the hard steamed buns with him. Although it was very bitter at that time, every time he came back here, he felt a warm feeling. But since the old monk died, this feeling has never been felt again. Although I occasionally go to the fat brother's house for dinner, I also feel that it is very lively, but that kind of excitement does not seem to belong to him Bai Xiaoyi. Maybe a person has lived too long, and he has forgotten the feeling of being called home.

However, since the little fox demon recklessly broke into the broken temple, that feeling seems to have returned. Bai Xiaoyi suddenly realized that he actually liked this feeling very much, someone could eat together, and he could make noise, if there was no eye-catching sword-bearing boy, it would be better.

After cleaning up the chaotic thoughts, the rogue boy tore off a pink chicken leg first, and handed it to the old Taoist priest opposite:

"Hehe, cheap master, this chicken leg is a filial piety to you. ”

The green-shirted Taoist raised his eyes and said with a slight teasing:

"Yo! The stinky boy is quite sensible, and he knows how to honor his master. ”

He took the chicken leg handed over by the young man, turned his head to look at the arrogant wind with a somewhat restrained expression, and said warmly:

"Cangfeng, I've worked hard today, you eat this chicken leg. ”

As he spoke, he handed the chicken leg to the young man with the sword who was a little stunned. took the chicken leg blankly, and Ao Cangfeng squinted his eyes just to see Bai Xiaoyi's eyes that wanted to eat people. The young man with the sword suddenly became playful, and he respectfully saluted like an old Taoist:

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to be provocative and glanced at Bai Xiaoyi, and then bit down heavily on the chicken leg. On the other side, the rogue boy with a sudden rise of jealousy, glared at the arrogant wind viciously, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, he couldn't understand why this cheap master was so towards this obnoxious guy. It's obviously a chicken leg that he respects, why give it to him!

The young man who felt depressed tore off the other chicken leg and handed it to the old Taoist priest again:

"Master, this is the apprentice's special filial piety to you. ”

Looking at the two vindictive young men helplessly, Xi Yingzhen said in a kind tone:

"Okay, okay, you made most of the sundries for a long time, and the master also saw it, this other chicken leg for you to eat. ”

Looking at the kind old Taoist priest blankly, Bai Xiaoyi looked dazed.

"What do you see, do you have flowers on your master's face?" the old Taoist priest joked in a very good mood, "Don't think that the old man is dizzy, I can see what any of you have done." Cangfeng's qualifications are really good, not only can he understand everything, but he can also draw inferences, and he is a wizard who practices martial arts. As a teacher, he also loves and cares, so he guides him one or two. As for you, your qualifications are indeed worse, but you are my apprentice after all, and since I accepted you, I will be responsible for you. I deliberately snubbed you just to see how patient you are, and being a handyman for a few hours and still working hard proves that your character is not bad. It would be even better if you could change your competitive habits. ”

Hearing the old Taoist's praise for himself, Bai Xiaoyi laughed with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll just say, master, your old man is highly respected, how can you abuse your apprentices and favor one over the other. ”

"Hmph! Cangfeng is diligent and studious, with outstanding qualifications, for such an outstanding junior, he will naturally give more support to his teacher. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to have an uncontrollable internal skill cultivation? From tomorrow onwards, I will be rewarded and punished clearly, and if you are not able to do it at all, I will not show mercy to these five thunder mantras. ”

Bai Xiaoyi pretended to be scared and shrunk his neck, and said with a sneer:

"Master, don't worry, apprentice, I will not disgrace you. ”

In this way, the three people who got together by chance ate their first meal after meeting in this inconspicuous ruined temple.
