Chapter 20: Master Descends the Mountain
When the master and apprentice returned to the stone hall, the faces of the people in the world did not recover a little, but became more and more ugly!
The transmission note that had already flown in burned with a reddish flame, hovering motionless in the air of the stone hall.
Tongshi Sanren didn't pay attention to it, but sat directly at the stone table, threw the fly into the robe at the back of his neck, and then took out the deduced utensils in the storage bag on his waist and scattered them on the stone table, and then concentrated on calculating!
Shen Cheng stood quietly and waited aside, not daring to ask!
After a cup of tea, the little old man had already divided several hexagrams, and his frowning brows stretched slightly. After a little thought, he took the transmission note in his hand and swiped it, and the transmission note turned to ashes. Then he pulled out the dust from the back of his neck, and his face returned to his old somewhat cynical look.
But Shen Cheng faintly felt that this matter was not so simple. He had rarely seen Master before, as serious and dignified as he had just been!
Thinking of Shen Cheng, who was still standing, the little old man turned his head and asked, "Good boy, have you been hungry for a day?!"
Shen Cheng didn't need to ask to know that it must be the master who came back with some food by the way after drinking wine, and Shen Cheng was indeed a little hungry at this time!
In fact, the little old man had already "Bigu" many years ago, and he didn't need to eat anymore. As long as you absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and then convert the aura into spiritual power to supply your own needs. This valley period is also the next realm that Shen Cheng is about to rush to, and when the time comes, he can gradually reduce the amount of food he eats, and finally he doesn't have to eat at all.
However, although Master and a few friends have already opened the valley, they still can't forget the wine and food in this worldly world, so they always get together a few times a year to satisfy their appetites!
Every time the little old man went down the mountain, he didn't forget to call Shen Cheng to go with him, and always recited it in front of him, and he had to taste those delicacies of the mountains and seas with a few friends that day! But Shen Cheng was so focused on cultivation that he would be tempted by the little old man in every way.
In fact, he knew that the master was also kind, seeing his hard cultivation, he wanted to take himself out to relieve his mood, but when he thought of the little girl named Ling Xiang on Peach Leaf Island, he was a little stunned! Maybe he would be ridiculed by others again, how could he still be in the mood to provoke that heart!
"Thank you, Master, for thinking about the apprentice. Shen Cheng saluted the little old man, took the paper bag, and sat beside the little old man.
In the past three years, although Shen Cheng and Master get along with each other like father and son, he has also respected Master more and more. Don't look at the little old man who often jokes with him, but he is not ambiguous at all, this respect is from the heart. The little old man also felt relieved, and felt that Shen Cheng, the child, was sensible and well-informed.
"Master, why did you come back so early today? Every time you want to go home after nightfall!" Shen Cheng opened the paper bag and asked the little old man while taking a big bite of it.
"It's not for the immediate thing!" the little old man pointed to a table of deduction utensils!
The little old man didn't answer Shen Cheng directly, but changed the topic and said, "Good man, how is the cultivation of these three layers lately? Lest that old man Ling always brag in front of his teacher, saying how good that stinky girl in his family is, and how fast he has progressed! I really don't know what he has to brag about!"
Speaking of the little old man in the back, his face was full of anger, but he still had a slight sour envy.
"Master, that Ling Xiang girl, she is now cultivating to the ...... of melting qi" Shen Cheng swallowed back halfway through the words, still looking a little embarrassed, lowered his head and continued to eat in large gulps!
Seeing Shen Cheng's expression, the little old man twisted his beard and looked at his apprentice with a slanted eye with a wicked smile.
In fact, this incident made Shen Cheng's heart blocked for a while!
Since entering the second layer of the Qi Melting Period, his five senses have been greatly improved, and he thought of what he said to Ling Xiang that day, wasn't it all listened to by these three old slippery heads? But these three old slippery heads pretended not to know at all! This made Shen Cheng's face flush and uncomfortable as soon as he thought of it!
That Ling Xiang is too, obviously higher than his own cultivation, how can he not understand the truth of this?! Why don't you shy away from talking at all?
It seems that that little girl is really pampered by Old Man Ling, she doesn't care about such an embarrassing thing at all, it's really harmful!
Thinking of this, Shen Cheng kept complaining in his heart.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't that little pepper, she is already a fifth-level monk in the Qi Melting Stage now!" The little old man looked jealous, and then lowered his voice and said a little mysteriously: "She has asked about you these few times, and she will never forget you, hehehe......! Huh?" the little old man not only smiled this time, but also raised his eyebrows!
"Oh, Master, I, I'm full. Let's go back to practice first!" Shen Cheng looked even more flustered when he saw the evil smile on his master's face! His face turned red and he stood up and hurriedly retired, he knew that the master was making fun of himself, but he could only pretend to be confused!
"Hey, hey, okay, let's go! But as a teacher, I want to warn you, it's good to be careful in the exercises, but don't be anxious for quick success, don't be distracted by other things, so as not to mess up the Dao heart!"
Master Shen Chengchong saluted and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Master, the disciple will definitely cultivate hard, will not be distracted, and strive to break through the fourth layer as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, well, that's just what I said as a teacher. The little old man answered, and then seemed to remember something again and said: "By the way, tomorrow for the teacher, you will go down the mountain to go out of the far door, more than half a month, as little as eight or nine days, you guard the cave and don't go out at will! The pills that you refine are also enough for you to use until you come back as a teacher, remember to take them every day." ”
The disciple wrote it down. Shen Cheng agreed, and walked to the stone room.
However, he still wondered a little in his heart! In the past three years, there have been no strangers in Master's cave mansion at all, and it seems that Master only has a few friends, so where did those two monks come from? I think that Master's trip tomorrow should also be related to those two monks who went up the mountain!
Forget it, why do you want to do so much! It is the right thing to break through your own exercises as soon as possible! Thinking of this, Shen Cheng entered the stone room, closed the stone door, jumped lightly onto the stone bed, and opened the "Control Mind Decision" after sitting down cross-legged.
At this time, the little old man watched Shen Cheng walk into the stone room, and his face once again showed a solemn look, and he thought about it.
Early the next morning, after a night of meditation, Shen Cheng left the stone room early, and at this moment the master had already gone down the mountain.
Shen came to the mountain as usual, moved his body briefly, and performed several auxiliary exercises cultivated in the first three layers, and then returned to the cave to continue his cultivation.
But suddenly a crisp and sweet shout rang out behind him, and echoed in the mountains: "Hey, stupid big man!"
