When the old master saw Zhao Yan holding back a smile, he didn't care, and joked: "What are you doing holding back, laugh if you want to laugh, I'm afraid I'll beat you?"

Zhao Yan was told by the old master, and his amusement suddenly turned into a dry laugh, and said: "I really don't understand, how can you not understand the saying that the goal is the motivation?"

"Do you think I don't understand this?", the old master stared at Zhao Yan with bright eyes, and said with a straight face.

Zhao Yan frowned and looked at the old master, but when he thought about it, he found something very strange: "...... Master, two black hairs have appeared on your forehead!"

The old master laughed: "Normal! normal!"

Zhao Yan could hear that the old master was talking about normal, but in fact he was extremely excited, and he was afraid that he was in a hurry to wait for this normal phenomenon.

After laughing, the old master stretched out his hand to hook Zhao Yan's shoulder, sat down on the side of the table, and said: "I know that you can't decide everything, you have to remember it clearly, and understand the deep meaning at any time, there are many immortal cultivators in this world who have forgotten their goals, and I am also one of them, but now I have found it." ”

Zhao Yan was a little flattered, turned sideways again and again, and said: "It's because I'm too young and have little life experience, so I don't understand the meaning, but when I hear you say this, I can understand it now, just like the men and women of the Sea Sworn Alliance, there is always a three-year, seven-year itch or something." ”

"What itch for three or seven years is all strange words", the old master said with a smile on his face: "It's not bad, I don't know the taste if I don't know it in it, I feel its meaning when I am in it, but knowing it is not the same thing as changing." ”

"The road of cultivating immortals is more difficult than the road of love, all kinds of temptations are continuous, numbing the heroes who have been in the Quartet, and the more terrifying thing is that they know that they are in prison but it is difficult to change, and in the end they are as obscure as everyone else. ”

The two sat down and talked and laughed until night.

Three plates of side dishes and a glass of turbid wine were placed on the table in the courtyard, and the two immortal cultivators who were enough to shake Cangzhou celebrated with each other.

Hiss....... Zhao Yan drank a glass of wine, sandwiched a few pieces of tall bamboo shoots, ate it to his heart's content, and almost sighed the little secret: "It's been a long time...... Well, chewing is pretty enjoyable. ”

The old master looked at Zhao Yan's extremely skillful use of chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I learned quite quickly, to be honest, if I didn't know you well, I would really think that you were a demon pretending to be a person." ”

"I also think I'm closer to people, although I prefer the deep mountains and old forests to deal with interpersonal relationships," Zhao Yan smiled.

He had a smile on his face, but he was proud in his heart, and he couldn't help but think that if the old master really knew about himself, it would be over.

"There is a difference between you and the general demon in the most basic way of thinking, not the kind of black and white dichotomy thinking, the demon has not changed this mode of thinking for thousands of years, so the strength in history is only a flash in the pan", the old master was in a happy mood, drank a little wine and chatted.

"You know? The most powerful thing about our Xia people is the way to take the middle, never just look at one side of the matter, we talk about good can be bad, bad can be good, so since the birth of the race, even if there is a trough, it has never died, and even the lower the trough, the easier it is to grow, because the Xia people are always reflecting and always weighing. ”

"It is an innate ability to reflect on what is good for you and what is bad for you, weigh the good and the bad, and finally make a good choice, just as a tree will grow towards the sun and a creeper will find an easy place to climb. ”

Zhao Yan saw that the old master was excited and didn't want to disturb, so he nodded in agreement while drinking and eating.

At the end of dinner, the old master went back to the room early to summarize his experience.

Zhao Yan took the smooth basin to the kitchen to clean, when there was a cry of asking to see him, he put the basin and walked into the courtyard, and found that the person who came was an unknown villager.

His person had a tanned face and a not too burly body, and when he saw Zhao Yan come out, he looked a little restrained, and he didn't know if it was awe, or the gap between the two images: "Hello, fairy...... I ......"

Zhao Yan smiled gently: "If you dare to ask your brother's name, you can just call me Zhao Yan." ”

"No, no, no, then how dare you be presumptuous in front of your benefactor", when the villagers heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands: "Xiaomin called in, a craftsman who does carving." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Jin", Zhao Yan reacted and invited the person to the side of the case: "It's good to say something directly, come, sit down on the side first, and drink? It just so happened that the old master was happy today and took out the fine wine that had been hidden for many years." ”

The villagers sensed Zhao Yan's casualness, relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I don't drink, I came to you to ask if you mind me carving a stone statue of you on the threshing floor?"

"Huh?", Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and said: "How can I accept incense from people as a demon like a demon, this is too much." ”

Jin said: "No, I asked the clan elders and the whole village about this matter, and they all expressed their support, so I dared to come and ask the demon fairy." ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little interested: "Has the cost value been calculated?"

Seeing Zhao Yan loose, he smiled and said: "No, no, no! I have a very good relationship with a few carving craftsmen in the neighboring village and the master carver in the city, they all have relatives in the village, and it is estimated that they will take the initiative to come to help if they know that you are widely benevolent, and when the time comes, I will bring a group of apprentices and a small number of laborers, and I estimate that it can be completed within a month." ”

"So fast?", Zhao Yan was a little suspicious, and an ugly monster himself had already appeared in his mind.

This person looked a little thin and introverted, but when he heard Zhao Yan questioning his skills, he immediately came to his senses: "Demon Immortal, I dare to assure you, if you can't meet the requirements, you smashed me, and you don't inquire about my name in Cangzhou territory." ”

Zhao Yan was choked by him, but he didn't have the idea of being angry, but felt that this was a normal performance, in the past, when he was on the earth, he often encountered the same thing, and at first he felt that the quality of the workers was not good, and he couldn't stand the slightest question, and he had a big temper one by one.

Later, I realized that people were confident and loud, and wanted to tell Zhao Yan that he was one in a million jobs.

Zhao Yan thought of this, and couldn't help but wonder: "I know, I know, don't be angry first." ”

"How dare you...... I just don't want the fairy to misunderstand anything", Jin Yiyi opened his mouth and continued to be restrained.

In fact, since he entered and proposed to carve the stone statue, Zhao Yan has already begun to ponder in his heart, he is happy to see the hunt, and he feels that his vanity is satisfied, and he wants to settle the matter.

It's just that the difficulty is that if he speaks about this matter by himself, it seems a little awkward, so he didn't say anything for a long time.
