Chapter IV
(a)
My senior brother and I are about to return to Kunlun Mountain, and we were arrested by the second senior brother Shang Yao.
It can be seen that the second senior brother came to arrest us on purpose.
This made me feel uncomfortable, and I would be arrested when I went back to my own home. But after thinking about it, as soon as I got home, someone came forward to greet him, just like the emperor in the book must have a eunuch come out to serve every time he goes to the palace, and he can't say that he has face.
I regarded the second senior brother as a eunuch who served me, and my mood gradually became beautiful again.
At this time, the second senior brother said to me: "The master is out of the customs, and I have been waiting for the little junior sister in the study for a long time. ”
No, now the entire Kunlun Mountain can't stop my shamelessness, there are eunuchs around me, not to mention, there is a concubine waiting for me to have fun in the dormitory. It's so nice to think about.
However, everything in the script is beautiful, but in reality it is all messed up.
The master is waiting for me, but I am not the emperor, and the master is not a concubine. Master, his old man must have known that I had gone to the mortal world, otherwise why would the second senior brother have to wait here.
If there is no suspense, wait to be drawn. It's just that I didn't expect that this time the master would go out of the customs so early! It's rare to see it in a thousand eight years!
It may be that my expression is too strong, and the senior brother and the second senior brother cast very loving eyes at me. is probably saying that the little sister Yixian has made another mistake and is terminally ill.
This time, if the master only loves me and neglects the senior brother, I will feel deeply unfair for the senior brother.
So I asked the second senior brother, "Is the master really just waiting for me?"
The second senior brother said as if nothing had happened: "Oh, the master said, if the little junior sister is upset for the senior brother, let the senior brother go to the back mountain to take care of the peach forest for a month." ”
After listening to the words, I almost fell to my knees. The peach forest in the back mountain is being taken care of by the senior brother, and what the master said is not the same as not saying it.
I really should feel wronged for myself, it is much more wonderful to let the senior brother take care of the peach forest than for me to take care of the thatched house.
Houshan Peach Forest has always been a dream place for me. The biggest difference between it and thatched houses is that one is fragrant and the other smells.
If you want to talk about the thatched hut I take care of, it really makes me cry.
When I first started cultivating in Kunlun Mountain, I communicated with all my senior brothers about the cleaning of large and small corners of Kunlun Mountain.
At that time, what I wanted to clean was an elegant and fragrant place like the peach forest, but the peach forest was always taken care of by the elder brother.
In addition to the peach forest, only the master's place is worthy of the words elegant and fragrant. I think I enjoy even cleaning the master's place.
But I was a step too late. The master's study was robbed, the master's bedroom was robbed, and even the bed under the master's bedroom was shamelessly divided and robbed by the senior brothers. In short, except for the master and others, the others were divided by the senior brothers in a harmonious way of communication.
When it was finally my turn, the brothers asked me to choose between their bedroom and the hut.
I chose the thatched house. So far, I have had a deep friendship with the thatched house for tens of thousands of years.
And in the past tens of thousands of years, I have not been to the peach forest once. It is said that it is a place for the master to rest.
Probably eleven senior brothers deliberately opposed me, and every time I approached the peach forest, they would catch me, saying that the master did not want anyone to go in and disturb me.
Now, the senior brother has been sent by the master to take care of the peach forest for another month, and a mouthful of old blood gushes out of my heart.
I felt cold in my heart, and I felt that the master and his old man should not suppress me like this and indulge the senior brother. So I held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked the second senior brother: "Second senior brother, can the master still speak clearly lately, and his mind is still clear?"
The second senior brother looked at me very sadly and sympathetically, and said, "The master also said that if the little junior sister asks this question, let the little junior sister go to ......."
I exclaimed immediately: "Stop! Master is clever and naturally clear!" I think the second senior brother's next words must be dangerous and abnormal.
The second senior brother groaned, looked at me and said, "Little junior sister, you are a smart person. ”
Senior Brother patted me on the shoulder briskly. After humming a small tune, he made a decision and went to the peach forest in the back mountain.
"The girl in the west chamber wants to be talented, and the jackal on the east wall goes straight into the room, and the long one is ......"
As soon as I heard this, my blood was surging, and I guess I hadn't beaten anyone for a long time.
(b)
I craned my neck and went to the master's study.
This time I will definitely be more than lucky. Although the master looked so young and extremely handsome, he was very strict with me, a little apprentice. I never dared to make a mistake in front of my master, and my every move was very obedient.
The master is not as wolf-hearted as other senior brothers, and every time he teaches me, he has good intentions. Although for tens of thousands of years, the master has also watched me being bullied by my senior brother and watched me brush the thatched house.
I think the master must have trained me strictly. It is difficult for me to build as much copper and iron as I am now, and it is all thanks to the master's teaching.
Standing in front of the door of the master's study, I respectfully bent over and said, "Master, the apprentice has come to see you." ”
In front of the master, I have always been clear-sighted, and every etiquette cannot be left behind, so as to show my respect for the master. As long as I don't talk about the master, he will definitely not be able to smell the sycophants in it, and probably he will feel very enjoyable.
The master's voice came from inside: "Xian'er, come in." ”
I cautiously pushed the door open and saw the master sitting at his desk, with a brush in his hand, drawing something.
The master liked to wear black clothes, and the whole person looked very coordinated, and his long hair hung down to the waist.
I stole a glance at the master, and he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was quite charming.
The master raised his head, looked at me and said with a smile: "As soon as the master leaves the customs, he will not see the Xian'er people, where is this nonsense? ”
I hurriedly lowered my head and looked in pain. This time, I went down without the permission of the master, and I thought that when I came back, he had not yet left the customs, so he would be confused.
Unexpectedly, it was miscalculated.
I thought I should take advantage of the master's tactful mood and quickly say something nice, so I said, "The master is out of the customs, it's early." ”
As soon as these words came out, I bit my tongue. , I originally wanted to say that the master is amazing, and the retreat time is getting shorter and shorter, congratulations.
However, I always speak very incisively, which is very bad.
In the middle of my thoughts, a pair of black boots suddenly appeared at my feet, which was so terrifying.
I only heard that the master couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and asked me: "Xian'er, did you go to the world smoothly this time?"
What should come will always come. I resisted the urge to kneel down and hug the master's thigh and beg for mercy, and replied calmly: "Go back to the master, it is very smooth, and the apprentice also brought something back for the master." The apprentice did not dare to take the master's words as wind in his ears. "This fart is a little too loud.
The master was quiet for a long time.
I wondered, and I couldn't help but look up at him, but suddenly I found that the master had returned to the desk and sat down, his beautiful slender eyes looking at me with a slight squint.
(c)
At the moment, I buried my head, and my heart was cold. Master, he must be thinking about how to punish me.
I immediately bent my legs, knelt down, and said, "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong." "I think if I take the initiative to admit my mistake, the master will punish me more lightly.
I heard the master's hand clasp on the desk for a moment, and he asked, "What's wrong with the strings?"
"Back to the master, the apprentice should not listen to the slander of the senior brother and go with him to the world to mutilate the common people. I thought about it for a moment and answered truthfully.
The master said again: "Then Xian'er told the master, how did the senior brother slander you?
I'm afraid that the master will not be able to bear it when he hears the actions of the senior brother, and the senior brother that the master has worked so hard to cultivate is actually an immortal who specializes in picking on immortals and losing face. So I comforted the master and said, "Don't be angry, this time the senior brother went to the world and suffered retribution, and he didn't lose the master's face too much." ”
"Oh, how did you get retribution?"
"The elder brother caused a riot in the world, was arrested, and squatted in the prison for several days. "I feel that when I talk about the misery of my elder brother, my mouth is smoother than usual.
The master pondered for a while before he said, "Doesn't your senior brother know the immortal law, so he is willing to stay in the prison for so many days?"
I said: "Master Hui, it was I who appeased the senior brother well, and asked him not to use the immortal method to hurt mortals, which would damage the cultivation of the immortal family." The senior brother is still a very personable immortal, and after listening to my words, he stayed in prison well. ”
The master stopped asking me, and I thought that the master must have heard me say this and was very disappointed in the elder brother. I said again: "Master, don't be angry for the senior brother, now the senior brother has been punished by the master to take care of the peach forest for a month, and he will hum a small tune to the apprentice before he leaves, saying that he will think about it in it." The apprentice believes that the senior brother will definitely think about it in it. ”
The master still didn't speak.
I knelt for a while, and the master wouldn't let me get up, he must have been so angry with the elder brother that he forgot to get me up. So I whispered to the master: "Master, the apprentice's leg hurts when he kneels." ”
The master said slowly: "Xian'er said very smoothly, I went to the world once, and now I know that my leg hurts?"
I didn't think the master understood what I meant, so I explained it again and said, "Master, the apprentice is kneeling and hurting." ”
The master stopped talking again. The master has always been very fond of me, but this time it seems that he doesn't hurt so much. But I hurt.
I knelt for a long time before I heard the master say: "If you go to the mortal world in private without the permission of the teacher, can Xian'er be convicted?"
My heart trembled twice, and the master was finally going to punish me. I said, "Yes, in vain I am guilty." "How I wish the master could also punish me to take care of the peach forest for a month.
"How does Xian'er want the master to punish you?"
As soon as the master's words came out, I couldn't escape. But since the master wanted me to think about how to punish myself, I thought about it for a long time before I stabilized my mind and said: "Master, the thatched house in Kunlun Mountain must be dirty, and the apprentice wants to brush it." ”
The task of the elder brother has always been to take care of the peach forest, and my task is to brush the thatched house. But since the senior brother can be punished by the master to take care of the peach forest, I think I can also be punished by the master to brush the thatched house. That's why I dared to mention it in front of my master.
Sure enough, the master had a lot of them, and he asked me to get up and go to the thatched house.
Although I was a little gloomy about it, it was better to think about it than to go to the cliff for a few months. Then I was relieved.
Before leaving, I hesitated, but I still made a decision to give the two paintings I brought back from the world for the master. Anyway, this is also a piece of my heart as an apprentice.
I don't want my good deeds of honoring my master to be recognized and rewarded by my master. The master handed me the scroll he had been sketching earlier.
I was flattered to open it and saw a rabbit drawn on it, which looked very cute.
So I happily took the scroll back and hung it in my bedroom, offering it every day. This is the first ink treasure given by the master to the apprentice, and there must be no other senior brothers.
But I would be mistaken. It wasn't until later that I learned that the eldest brother, the second senior brother, and the third senior brother ...... The tigers, horses, dragons, etc., hanging in the eleventh senior brother's bedroom, are all written by the master, and the momentum is very majestic.
And I, with only one rabbit, is a bit miserable.
(iv)
Not long after I finished brushing the thatched house, a great news came out of Kunlun Mountain, which made my previous depression disappear at once.
The 5,000-year-old Pan Tao Conference in the heavenly realm is approaching, and the old heavenly monarch specially sent a divine envoy to Kunlun Mountain to send an invitation to the master, inviting us to join the Kunlun Mountain in the sky.
I heard that the Heavenly Monarch of the Heavenly Realm is particularly gracious, and as long as he is an immortal, he can participate in this Pan Tao Conference regardless of his rank.
In other words, I can also go to the lowest rank of Kunlun Mountain.
For a long time, only the gods could participate in the fairy peach conference. Whenever the master is invited to heaven, he can only bring one or two disciples with him at best, but these two disciples will never be able to take my turn.
Now, if we count the entire Kunlun Mountain, we can all go to the god realm with the master to eat and drink.
How can this not make my heart flutter.
However, the person who doesn't like to hear this good news the most is probably the senior brother.
Not to mention that I almost forgot about it, the senior brother was punished by the master to take care of the peach forest for a month. Counting the days, it is estimated that when he comes out, I and the senior brothers will return to Kunlun Mountain after attending the peach banquet with the master.
Feng Shui takes turns. At the beginning, I had a lot of complaints about the master's decision to let the senior brother take care of the peach forest, but now it seems that he is really wise and powerful. The master is really clever.
But after all, the senior brother has a gossip heart, and this matter of the Pan Tao Conference was quickly known to him.
On this day, while the master was away, the senior brother sneaked out of the peach orchard and came to settle accounts with me.
I saw that the elder brother's face was moist, but his mental condition was not very good. Then he said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, isn't Senior Brother too worried about me?"
The senior brother bared his teeth and said hatefully: "Little junior sister, you snatch my peaches!"
I know that Senior Brother must be very resentful of me at this moment, after all, it was I who went to the world with Senior Brother, and he was punished by the master for this, and it was also because of my Senior Brother that I couldn't participate in this Pan Tao Conference.
I really felt a little guilty, and I couldn't bear to stimulate him anymore, so I comforted him and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, Peaches will have it." When the peach forest in Houshan bears fruit, the junior sister will be the first to beg the master to give the senior brother a few baskets of peaches!"
The elder brother's face was ever-changing, his mouth twitched and twitched, and he wanted to speak but couldn't speak.
I think that the elder brother should have turned his grief and anger into gratitude when he saw me so considerate, but he was embarrassed to say it. I smiled at him sincerely and gratifyingly, and said, "Senior brother is polite to me, who is with whom!"
As a result, the senior brother did not accept my affection, waved his sleeves and walked away, without taking away a commotion. Before leaving, he also said inexplicably: "The master is going to spoil you to heaven." ”
My mind was full of the peach conference, and I didn't think about it, so I said, "It will take two more days to go to heaven." ”
There was a cold snort from the air from the elder brother's nose, which was very beautiful.
