Chapter 8: Desire
"Have you heard of Fairy Soft Rain?" Mu Han rubbed his half-wet hair, his expression was disgusted, but what he said to Lu Jiarin was another thing.
"The famous genius of Bicang Pavilion has naturally heard of it. Lu Jiarin said, "What, you ran into her?"
"That's what I heard. Mu Han said, suddenly stunned, "She is from Bicang Pavilion?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No problem. Mu Han smiled and said, "But she's about to reach the Heavenly Borrowing Realm, how do you feel?"
"Congratulations. ”
"And then?"
"What's her business with me?"
Mu Han stared at him with wide eyes.
"Don't you feel like you've been slapped in the face?"
Lu Jiarin looked down at Mu Han, her half-wet hair was attached to her face, and with that unbelievable expression, she inexplicably felt a little more cute.
"Then tell me, what is a slap in the face?"
"That's it...... Do you feel embarrassed?" Mu Han said, "After all, you have always thought that you are very strong, but as a result, the realm of others is so much higher than you. ”
"The strength of a person has nothing to do with the Qi Refining Realm. Lu Jialin shook her head and said, "I believe she can't defeat me." ”
Mu Han pursed her lips, she remembered a famous saying from the earth.
A person can be destroyed, but not defeated.
In this way, isn't that Lu Jialin the old man with white hair? Thinking of this, Mu Han couldn't help but laugh, making Lu Jialin look at her again.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, it's just that you should be very stubborn when you think of your gray hair. ”
Lu Jiarin didn't frown as usual, but seemed to smile lightly, but soon, Mu Han didn't see it clearly.
"When I'm full of gray hair, won't you be the same then?"
Mu Han was stunned, what should he look like with white hair, he is also a stubborn old man, or should he be an old lady.
She stopped talking at the thought of this, and sometimes even the life she valued most seemed less terrifying than aging.
"Both of you, since you're out, let's go back to the station. Wei Liang, who was forgotten by the two, finally spoke out to prove his existence, "I believe that Uncle Qian should have prepared the dinner." ”
"Dinner?" Lu Jiarin was really frowning this time.
"Yes. Wei Liang said respectfully, "Since I learned that Uncle Qian had arrived, Uncle Qian has started to prepare. ”
"Isn't it too formal?" Lu Jiarin's brows did not loosen, but wrinkled tighter, he didn't like this kind of pomp, and he didn't like this kind of pomp deliberately made for him.
Everyone is respected by others for a reason, he is much younger than Qian Zhongyan, and the realm of qi refining is also a lot worse, but Qian Zhongyan has always been to his peers.
It's not how good he is, it's how good his master is.
In this pomp, it is your own people who want to win, and it is Yang Tongzhi's love that you want to win.
Although this little favor does not mean anything, just like Lu Jialin said before, after all, it is some tongue and handle.
"Uncle Jia Rin is a disciple of Elder Tongzhi, so it is natural for him to put on such a show. Wei Liang continued to say respectfully on the side.
"Can you not go?"
Wei Liang showed a look of embarrassment: "After all, it is Elder Qian's intention......"
"I see. Lu Jialin nodded, and looked at Mu Han again, "Are you hungry?"
Mu Han, who was still shaking his hair with his hand, felt it when he heard this, nodded and said, "A little." ”
"Then let's go to this feast. ”
This time it was to go back, not to visit, so the three of them walked faster, but because it was late, it was almost sunset.
In the Tongtian Sect station, the lights are bright, and there are many low tables set up in the large courtyard inside, and all kinds of special melons and fruits and some curiosities are listed on them one by one.
There was a grill in the middle, and an unknown thing was roasted throughout.
"You're back. Qian Zhongyan stood in front of the door and said with a smile, "Come in, everything is almost done." ”
When the three of them walked in the door, they saw the scene mentioned before, and there were even more people busy inside and out, doing some things to serve dishes.
"Some of these are my disciples of the Tongtian Sect, and some of them are people who have accepted the protection of the Tongtian Sect to survive and grow medicine here. Wei Liang explained on the side, and then respectfully posed a gesture of invitation, "Uncle Shi, please take a seat." ”
Lu Jialin glanced at the busy people lightly, then nodded and sat down in the place Wei Liang said.
Mu Han also glanced at it and sat directly next to Lu Jialin.
Qian Zhongyan followed them, and after they sat down, he also walked a few steps and sat in the middle seat.
"The big guys have stopped. Qian Zhongyan clapped his hands and said, "The protagonist of this banquet, my junior brother, Elder Yang Tongzhi's personal disciple Lu Jialin has taken a seat, everyone is welcome!"
"Hello Uncle Jia Rin!"
A cadre of people bowed respectfully in the direction indicated by Qian Zhongyan's hands, and said.
Lu Jiarin's brows really furrowed again.
"Isn't that wrong?"
"Where is the junior brother, you are a generation higher than them, so you will naturally accept this bow. Qian Zhongyan said to him as if he didn't care.
"Even if I'm a senior, I don't deserve such pomp. Lu Jialin still frowned.
"There's no problem, it's all voluntary on the part of the disciples, and no one will say anything. Qian Zhongyan said with a smile.
Lu Jiarin's expression did not change, but Mu Han lowered his head, revealing a disdainful expression.
It was as if they had been rehearsed, and the ghost believed that they were voluntary.
"Don't do such a thing in the future. Lu Jiarin said lightly on the side, "It's meaningless." ”
Qian Zhongyan narrowed his eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then continued to laugh and said: "If you come back in the future, I'm afraid that I have already returned to the church, and I have the heart but the power to make this pomp and circumstance again." ”
"Then don't have that heart, so that you can save some effort. Lu Jialin said mercilessly, sounding very resolute.
Qian Zhongyan was unmoved, and still said: "But people are human beings after all, and this desire will always appear." ”
"Not everyone will have that kind of desire, Senior Brother Qian, I hope you can learn to be that kind of person. ”
Qian Zhongyan tapped the table twice, did not reply, lowered his head and seemed to ponder.
When he looked up again, he was smiling again.
"Let's not talk about it, my question is not the focus of today, let's start this dinner early. ”
Then, with his order, all the people who came and went sat down behind the low table, and the whole banquet was officially convened.
"Senior brother, do you know what is roasted in front of you?" asked Qian Zhongyan.
Lu Jialin shook his head.
"It was a badger caught on the Falling Sky Mountains, and eating its meat can prevent all kinds of diseases. ”
"Where can it be so magical. Lu Jialin expressed disbelief.
"Senior brother, you're still a little younger. Qian Zhongyan said with a smile, "Ordinary badgers have the value of medicine, not to mention the spirit badgers that grow on the Falling Sky Mountain Range, which are not much better than some natural and earthly treasure medicines." ”
"Since it's so precious, it's better for senior brother to put it away. ”
"Since it's already baked, isn't it a waste to harvest it now?" Qian Zhongyan said, "Senior Brother should last satisfy Senior Brother's human desires." ”
"If your desire is satisfied once, you will think about it a second time, senior brother, I won't touch this thing, please do it. Lu Jiarin still shook his head.
Mu Han watched the two of them pull back and forth, and then pulled to the thing baked in the middle, and only then did he know what it was, and at the same time remembered some things that he had heard when he was a child, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
That badger can't grow up eating the dead, right?
Thinking of this, Mu Han couldn't help but shudder, and immediately stood on the same front with Lu Jiarin, resolutely resisting the badger meat.
Qian Zhongyan rubbed his temples with a headache, and finally said with a wry smile: "Senior brother really can't eat oil and salt, so won't this banquet be in vain?"
Although it may disturb Senior Brother Yaxing, Lu can only say that this banquet is indeed unnecessary. ”
"I see. Qian Zhongyan nodded, "Then these melons and fruits can always be tasted, right?"
Lu Jiarin looked at the melons and fruits on the table, remembered the things sold outside, and there were these, so he nodded.
"It doesn't hurt. ”
Qian Zhongyan snorted, waved his hand, pointed to the badger in the middle and said, "Remove this thing." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two non-Tongtian Sect disciples got up and moved all the badgers out of the courtyard.
Lu Jialin was resolute, and he didn't drink a few sips of wine, Qian Zhongyan was helpless, so the banquet ended hastily.
The only thing that is a little unusual is probably the attitude of those disciples, although they are all as humble as Wei Liang, but they are not too much, not only making Lu Jialin uncomfortable, but even Mu Han is embarrassed.
"Since you have asked Qian Zhongyan to do something for you, why do you refuse these things later?" After the banquet was dispersed, Mu Han and Lu Jialin walked side by side to the depths of the courtyard, and Wei Liang was not on the side.
"What he did before was his responsibility, and what was behind was redundant. Lu Jialin said, "Anyone should prepare something for me to go up the mountain, but no one should hold such a banquet for me." ”
Mu Han was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Now you can be regarded as a little self-aware. ”
Lu Jialin glanced at her and said, "My strength is only known to me, and others don't know, so they shouldn't." ”
Mu Han was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that he was still narcissistic, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Do you need to care about this little favor?"
"How can people be merciful everywhere when they are outside?"
“...... Do you know what you're talking about?!" Mu Han looked up at the sky, and at this moment, she felt that Lu Jiarin was simply a ZZ.
