When I returned to Xiaozhuyuan, it was already evening, and the sun was tired from a day's work, and I looked a little drowsy.

Xiaozhuyuan is still so calm. As soon as smoke came out of the kitchen, Tianshu knew that it must be the second senior brother preparing dinner.

He looked left and right in relief, and sighed: "I didn't expect the Nine Heavens Sword Sect to have such a quiet place, which is completely different from other courtyards." ”

Tianshu smiled and said, "Yes, with the master here, there are only six people in total." ”

In front of him, he twisted his little ass every day, and rushed all the way to the kitchen. Tianshu Chong waved in relief and motioned for him to follow.

"Tianqian Courtyard is divided into small bamboo garden and big bamboo garden, and the big bamboo garden is on the other side of the bamboo forest. Tianshu, as the master, began to introduce to Shi Ran, what is the kitchen here and there is a bedroom, etc. He found that Xiaozhuyuan was really small, and there was no famous or distinctive scenery, so he finished talking without two sentences.

Fortunately, because of their small size, they didn't have to walk a few steps to get to the kitchen.

"It's so fragrant!" Shi Ran couldn't help but cry out before he stepped in.

"That's why I dare to invite you as a guest when there is nothing in Xiaozhuyuan. Tianshu's pride was beyond words, "The dishes made by my second senior brother can be called 'a must in the Nine Heavens Mountain'." And I personally think that in the whole world, in terms of cooking skills, my second senior brother is definitely one of the best!"

Shi Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Tian, this is a bit too much. Have you ever heard of Bai Xiaosheng's name?"

Tianshu said embarrassedly: "I have never been to a place outside of the Nine Heavens Mountain when I am so big......

"Hehe, I'm not to blame you. I also learned a lot of things by sneaking out to play recently, who knew that I was bumped into by my uncle in the area of Qiuxian Town......" Shi Ran seemed to suddenly realize that he was talking a little too much, and quickly turned back and said: "It doesn't matter who Bai Xiaosheng is, the important thing is that he wrote a strange book - "Tianxialu", which records all kinds of things in the world and gives many rankings, including cooking. He glanced at Tianshu and continued: "As far as I know, these top ten already have masters, and it seems that there are no people from the Nine Heavens Mountain. ”

Tianshu rolled his eyes and said, "You will know if you eat it." ”

After speaking, he jumped into the kitchen, because he wanted him to prepare two more vegetarian dishes before Zhu Huan turned off the fire.

It's really a coincidence that there is no book, Zhu Huan told Tianshu that because of yesterday's consumption, the master specially ordered to make vegetarian dishes today to regulate the body.

Relieved to hear it, he squatted next to Tian Tian, who was eating in the corner, and muttered while circling his fingers around Tian Tian's ears: "I thought I could break a ring and open a meat, but I didn't expect to have to be a vegetarian." It's really a person who drinks cold water on his back......"

"What?" asked Tenju, aloud.

Relieved to stand up, very serious said: "It's nothing, I'm just looking forward to it." Then he turned his face to Zhu Huan and said, "I have heard that Senior Brother Zhu's cooking skills are unique in the Nine Heavens Mountain, and I have admired him for a long time. ”

Tianshu stood there and muttered faintly, "I didn't just listen to me. ”

Relieved with fox eyes.

Zhu Huan responded with a smile: "I have won awards, but I just like to cook more." Wait, please let my brother Shi Ran give me advice. Obviously, these flattering words made Zhu Huan very useful.

Just as Shi Ran was still about to say some polite words, a pale green slender figure floated in. The plain and fresh beauty was like an intense black hole, instantly sucking out his mind.

Tianshu pushed his shoulder hard, pointed to his chin, and said, "Saliva wipe." ”

Relieved, he hurriedly picked up his sleeves and wiped them indiscriminately, and then symbolically tidied up his clothes and put on that sacred appearance.

Who else will there be besides Qing'er?

Qing'er walked directly through Shiran, came to Tianshu, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you back? It's a pity that you don't practice with me today, I have practiced the new kung fu taught by my master to the fifth level, which is amazing." ”

Tianshu gently pinched Qing'er's nose and shook it from side to side: "I know that my Qing'er is the smartest." ”

"Ahem. Relieved, who had been standing aside for a long time, couldn't help but make a sound, looking for a little sense of existence.

Qing'er glanced back at him and said to Tianshu, "Brother, where did this fox monk come from?"

Shi Ran didn't wait for Tianshu to speak, and immediately introduced himself: "Hello, I am from Dafan Temple. When I met Brother Ling in the vast sea of people, I immediately felt a special fate, so Brother Ling invited me to be a guest here. ”

"Are we very close?" Tianshu said relievedly like a ghost beside him.

A cold light flashed in the corner of his relieved eyes, but there was an unchanged smile on his face, and he said, "Of course, you see, our heads are all the same." Then he turned to Qing'er and asked very gentlemanly, "I haven't asked ...... yet."

"My name is Qing'er. Since you are my brother's friend, you must be my friend. ”

"Actually......" Tianshu just wanted to answer again, but was pulled to the corner with relief.

"Big brother," Shi Ran took out a booklet, stuffed it into Tianshu's arms, and said softly, "I didn't prepare any greeting gifts for the first meeting, this is the 'pure heart mantra' of this sect, which is the scripture that my uncle uses to calm your mind." I hope you don't dislike it, big brother. ”

Tianshu looked at the booklet in his arms, and then looked at the relief, with a suspicious face. Because each sect has protection for its own exercises, and some advanced ones are even kept secret, it can be determined that this is not a high-level exercise in the first place. Secondly, even if it is only the most basic, it is strictly forbidden to be obtained by other sects. Moreover, the cultivation of his disciples is also very different from what can be bought on the market, and what can be bought on the market is actually only the most superficial part of the exercises. So Tianshu has reason to wonder if this is a "stall".

Shi Ran knew what Tianshu was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "I don't dare to teach this practice privately. This 'Pure Heart Mantra' is an intermediate exercise, and it only has scriptures, no cultivation methods, so it doesn't matter. Although you may not be able to exert the same effect as my uncle, as long as you recite it regularly, you will definitely be able to keep your mind as calm as water. ”

Tianshu weighed the booklet in his hand, looked at the relief again, and replied, "Okay, I'll take it." ”

Putting away the booklet, they went back to the conversation they had just had with Qing'er.

"What were you just muttering?" asked Qing'er.

Shi Ran replied first: "It's nothing, I'm just admiring, what kind of fate can have a sister like Senior Sister Qing'er." ”

Qing'er pulled Tianshu back, and said with a little coquettishness: "I want you to take care of it!"

Tianshu looked at Qing'er's little girl-like appearance and couldn't help laughing.

Time can change people's appearance, but those things in the bones will only be precipitated more vividly.

Tianshu enjoys Qing'er's childishness very much, and sometimes even a little coquettish, because he knows very well that one person can be coquettish to another person unscrupulously, which shows that the hearts of two people are very close.

Relief followed Qing'er's words and said: "The Buddha said: The five hundred times of looking back in the past life have been exchanged for the passing of this life. What does Sister Qing'er think?"

Qing'er directly grabbed Tianshu's arm, and still said: "I want you to take care of it!"

Zhu Huan smiled "hehe" next to him: "Okay, the time is almost up." Qing'er go and call Master and the little monkey over for dinner, the little monkey should be in the senior brother's room, and tell him that I will send dinner to the senior brother later. ”

Qing'er answered and ran out.

"You two can come over and help set the table. Zhu Huan was not relieved at all, and directly pulled him over to help.

Relieved, he was also happy, and happily fiddled with the dishes and chopsticks, but at that time, he glanced at the afterglow of Tiantian from time to time, which made Tiantian's heart rise with a chill.

In a few moments, everyone arrived.

There is one more person for no reason, and the first thing to do is, of course, to introduce everyone to each other.

At the dinner table, Qin Guang asked with a slight smile, "May I ask which master is Lingshi?"

Since returning from Dazhuyuan, although everyone didn't say it, they all felt that the ice on Master's face was melting little by little.

With the same smile in return, he replied, "The family teacher is called Jingyi." ”

"Oh?" Qin Guang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he continued to ask, "But Zen Master Jingyi, the abbot of Dafan Temple?"

"Exactly. ”

"When I was young, I had several encounters with Zen Master Jingyi, why have I never heard of him having disciples?"

"I'm a close disciple of Master, and I've never left Dafan Temple before, so it's normal that my predecessors haven't heard of it. ”

"No wonder, sure enough, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice. Qin Guang was obviously frightened by the serious appearance of relief.

During the banquet, they exchanged a few more polite words, and then Qin Guang began to ask about the apprentices' injuries, especially Tian Li's condition. After receiving an affirmative answer, he sighed and said, "I emphasize once again that in the future, unless your life is at stake, you must not use a level of power beyond your own strength. ”

All the disciples nodded their heads and said yes.

Dinner ended quickly, for the simple reason that since the first chopsticks were relieved, my hand never stopped, and there were two vague words left in my bulging mouth - delicious!

Pushed by his wind sweeping away leaves, the others were naturally not far behind, because in the blink of an eye, the piece of tofu that was still under your nose might have appeared in his bowl.

Relieved, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "It was really a gaffe just now. I've never eaten anything like this since I was a kid!"

The disciples said politely, "It's okay, it's okay." He muttered angrily: "It's good to know, most of the dishes on the table have entered your stomach!"

Qin Guang's face was full of gentleness today, and he said with a smile: "You wait and take Shi Ran's senior nephew around, I'll go see your senior brother." ”

Tianshu sighed silently helplessly, and answered "yes" with everyone, but he knew in his heart that this matter was his.

Relieved, he clasped his hands together and thanked him.

Qin Guang nodded, turned around and walked out.

As soon as his back melted into the darkness outside, Tianshu felt two very powerful auras appear in the corridor. Sure enough, Qin Guang's voice was immediately heard: "Master." ”

Hou Xin scratched the back of his head and said suspiciously: "It's strange, what day is it today, so many people are here, even the head of the house is here." I've been in the house for so long, and it's the first time I've seen guests from Xiaozhuyuan. ”

Zhu Huan patted Hou Xin's shoulder, almost dislocated his shoulder, and then completely ignored Hou Xin's resentful eyes, and said to himself: "Don't say it's a little monkey, even I haven't seen it!" It seems that I have to get two more dishes, so that the head can also taste my craftsmanship." ”

Tianshu grabbed Zhu Huan, who was about to act, and said: "Second senior brother, don't be busy, you also said that the head of the house is rare, why don't you go out and have a look, and when his old man leaves, you won't be able to see it." ”

"Ahem!" a loud and kind voice came from the corridor outside: "What do you mean 'I can never see it again if I leave', I can live for a few hundred more years!"

When Tianshu heard this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly led everyone out.

It wasn't very dark outside either, there was moonlight, there was starlight, and it was a beautiful night. There were two figures standing in the corridor at night, one fat and one thin, the thin one was the head Qingyu, and the fat one was Master Jing'an, who saved Tianshu's life during the day.

Tianshu saw Qing Yuzheng smiling kindly at himself, and said embarrassedly: "Please forgive the head of the sect, the disciple is unintentional......"

Qingyu laughed and said, "I'm so old, what do I have to worry about with you little hairy children." Besides, whether you mean it or not, what you say is the truth. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa. Qing'er ran up directly and grabbed Qingyu's arm.

Qing'er has rarely seen her grandfather since she was a child, and after coming into contact with Qingyu a few times, she found that this old man was amiable, so she smiled and went to treat him as her grandfather.

Perhaps because he has no heirs, Qingyu is particularly fond of this title. And he can be said to be very fond of Qing'er, in addition to the reason after the deceased, Qing'er's innocent and lively temperament, coupled with her talent, can learn anything, so it is difficult for this elder not to love. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Qing'er cultivates so quickly, because Qingyu will always give her a point or two from time to time.

Qingyu patted Qing'er's hand and said, "Little girl, I heard that you are terrible now, and you will cut down the third-ranked master of Dazhuyuan in two moves." ”

Qing'er replied with a smile: "Famous teachers are high-level apprentices." And I want to thank the grandfather for his teachings on weekdays. ”

Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "The little girl has such a sweet mouth." ”

After speaking, his gaze fell on Qin Guang again. Looking at Qin Guang's face, Qingyu was even a little moved, he tried to calm down his mood, and said, "I finally saw the shadow of that Qin Guang's apprentice twenty years ago again in my lifetime......"

Qin Guang's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness that no one noticed, and he said respectfully: "Don't mention the past again." What is the reason why Master is here this time?"

Qingyu invited the Jing'an monk beside him and said, "This is the Jing'an Zen master of Dafan Temple. ”

Qin Guangzuo saluted and said, "I've seen Zen Master Jing'an." ”

Jing'an's smile was very similar to that of Maitreya Buddha, and he folded his hands and saluted back: "Master Qin Guang's nephew has been polite." Thirty years ago, in the battle of Mingyue Cliff, my nephew destroyed the Blood Lotus Hall in the Demon Dao with the power of one person, and no one in my Dao knew who didn't know. It was so high-spirited at that time, but it was a pity that the nephew suddenly disappeared and did not appear outside since then, which is a pity. ”

Qin Guang was so calm as if he hadn't heard anything, and said respectfully, "The master has praised it. I wonder why the master came?"

Jing'an was still smiling, although Qin Guang seemed a little unkind, but after all, he was a high-ranking monk, and he wouldn't care too much about these mundane things. He stretched out his hand and beckoned to the relief behind Qin Guang, and said to Qin Guang: "It's not a big deal, just come over and see if the little fox has run away." ”

Relieved that he was not happy when he heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle Shi, what you said is not right, the monks don't talk much, since I promised to go back with you, I will naturally do what I say." ”

Jing'an smiled and said: "Yes, that's that, it's me who lives the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain." So, little gentleman, have you had enough, when are you going to go back with me?"

"Go back, go back to Dafan Temple?" relieved his tone unconsciously raised a point.

Jing An smiled and nodded.

"Now?" was a point higher.

Still nodding and smiling.

Relieved, he patted Jing'an's protruding belly, and said with a slanderous smile: "Uncle Shi, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?"

Jing'an's eyes opened for a moment, as if she was thinking for a while, and slowly said two words: "Reasonable." ”

Tianshu and a few of them instantly weakened their legs. Zhu Huan whispered: "This Jing'an master is too good to speak." ”

Hou Xin continued: "Is it that the monks of Dafan Temple have recited too many scriptures and their brains are weird?"

Tianshu nudged both of them with his elbow, silning them all.

Jing'an turned to Qingyu and said, "Then it's bothering." ”

Qingyu patted Qing'er's hand, motioned for her to let go first, and then saluted back: "The master is polite, I can't ask for it, welcome it." The guest room has always been available, so let me take the master there. ”

"The head of the family is personally involved, and the poor monks are terrified. After Jing'an thanked him, he turned to stare at Shi Ran and asked, "Do you want to come with me now or play a little longer?"

Relieved to look at him, then at Tianshu and them, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Jing'an nodded with a smile, made a "please" gesture to Qingyu, and said, "There is Lao Qingyu in charge." ”

Qingyu smiled and said to Qing'er, Qin Guang and the others, "Then you all go back and do what you should do." ”

Before leaving, he turned back to everyone and said, "I will come back." ”
