Master Xiu is cultivating

Beiyuan Prefecture, Huangsha City.

It was the time when the sun was the most poisonous, but outside the city, there was a strong wind, which rolled up the yellow sand and dyed the sky above it into another color.The woman who originally wanted to take out the quilt and heavy clothes in the closet to bask in the sun while the weather was fine, so she hurriedly put the quilt and clothes back, and stopped eating lunch and wanted to go out to play The two little brats were anxious and angry: "Little brat, I don't want to live anymore! Run, run, run outside and tell that big monster in the yellow sand to wrap you up!"

The two boys were much frightened by his mother's words, and they didn't take it seriously at all. While running to open the yard door, they said with a playful smile: "Mother is talking big again, where is the big monster in the yellow sand? You don’t have to worry about telling him to drag us, ha—”

The woman poked her head out from behind the heavy quilt and saw her two young sons about to run out, and the thing was falling heavily in her hand, making it difficult to even move, and she only shouted: "If you dare to go out, Don't come back today!"

The voices of two and a half kids laughing came from outside the wall: "Then we won't come back today, mother—"

The voice behind turned into a high-pitched scream, which made the woman tremble with fright, and almost threw the quilt and clothes on the ground.After realizing it, he was about to throw these things on the ground and rush out to see what happened to his two sons, but he saw a short and round old man wearing a blue cloth, and he was beaten with a lighter cloth. Two patches stepped in from the courtyard gate, shaking and smiling.

When the woman saw the old man, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, almost couldn't hold the thing in her hand, and called him: "Old Mr. Lingxiao."

The short, round old man smiled, closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and unbolted the bolt. Then, with a wave of his hand, two and a half people fell out of his sleeves in a daze, and their feet touched the ground. Before he could stand still, he staggered a bit.Seeing the blank expressions on their faces, the old man chuckled: "You two boys, what time is this, and you are still running outside, you don't want to be swept away by monsters."

At this time, the two and a half boys finally realized that it wasn't a monster that had swept them up, but the old man in front of him with a pleasant smile. They all showed excited smiles and said to the old man, "Old man, come again!"

The smaller one even jumped up and said: "The old man taught us! The old man taught us!"

But their mother finally put down the things in her hands, came out of the house, grabbed one ear with one hand, and cursed: "Go, go, go away, don't bother the old man!"

What she said before was not a lie. I don’t know how many people have been swept away by the big monster in the yellow sand, but Huangsha City is a small border town, and there are not many fairy elders passing by all year round. against.It wasn't until decades ago that the old man who claimed to be a Sanren of Lingxiao brought a young boy to settle down here, and when the big monster came to arrest him, he shot and killed this beast, that's why Huangsha City is peaceful today.

The two boys were grabbed by their ears by their mother, screaming in pain, and ran back to the house as soon as they were free.Only then did the woman wipe her hands on her clothes, put her messy hair back behind her ears, looked at the seemingly ordinary old man in front of her with a hint of respect, and asked, "Old man, what's the matter?" Do you need the little lady to help you?"

The old man smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, the old man's younger brother came to Huangsha City suddenly today. He came suddenly, and I didn't make any preparations, so I came to ask you to help cook some home-cooked dishes, so that my younger brother can try it too." He practiced Taoism, but he became less and less popular in this world. As a senior brother, it is rare for me to see him come out once, so I have to let him feel the benefits of delicious food in this world."

When the woman heard that she wanted to cook some home-cooked food by herself, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again——Lingxiao Sanren's junior, isn't he also a fairy elder?Although she would usually send the extra meals she made at home to the old gentleman in front of her, but because she had been with this kind old man for a long time, she had lost a lot of respect for immortals, and now she heard that she wanted to do it for his junior brother After making some meals, those natural fears were born again, and I couldn't help but tremble and said: "The little lady is stupid, I don't know the old man's junior, this fairy elder—"

Lingxiao Sanren waved his hand, and said kindly: "My junior brother is named Chongyun. If you see him, just call him Daoist Chongyun. Although he looks deserted, he is a nice person. You don't have to worry about it." .”

Only then did the woman feel relieved, and pulled her hair again, and said, "Then there are still some materials at home, so I'll just watch and make them, and send them to you after they're done?"

Lingxiao Sanren thought for a while, but pointed to the room, and said with a smile: "Tell your two boys to come here too, my junior brother comes out rarely, he has a lot of good things on him, don't tell him to waste money But I am not reconciled."

The woman's lips trembled. After listening to Mr. Lingxiao's words, she actually wanted Master Chongyun to give something to her two boys?Could it be that these two boys in my family also have a fairy fate, so they can have the opportunity to embark on the road of cultivation and become as powerful as the old gentleman in front of them?She was overwhelmed with joy, and she didn't even speak for a while, she just nodded and said: "Okay, okay, the little lady will go and cook a few dishes that she is good at, and then let the two A boy will go with me..."

Lingxiao Sanren nodded with a smile, walked towards the wall full of creepers, and disappeared on the side of the wall in a blink of an eye.Only then did the woman come to her senses, she happily clasped her hands, she was both happy and anxious, and said to herself: "I have to see what else is available at home, and use them all..."

While talking, he hurried to the kitchen.

With his hands behind his hands, Lingxiao Sanren passed through the wall step by step, and returned to his yard.

A small courtyard like this one that enters and exits is the most common dwelling in Huangsha City. The previous owner of the house planted a grape vine under the wall near the door, and built a grape vine with thin bamboo poles. Although the environment here is harsh, the vines still survived tenaciously, and grew palm-sized emerald green leaves, which vigorously covered the entire grape trellis.

Under the thin bamboo shelf suitable for enjoying the cool air in summer, there is a man standing, wearing a white gown with wide sleeves, and his black hair neatly tied in a jade crown. Ruo Wu is the person in the painting who is in the wind.He pushed aside a few green vines covering the side of his face, and turned around, revealing a cold face.His facial features are extremely good-looking, and there is a breath of dust between his brows, but when anyone sees him for the first time, their eyes are not attracted by the man's appearance, but subconsciously look into his eyes, and their eyes match. Then, it was as if he could see endless falling snow in his eyes.

"Brother." Seeing Lingxiao Sanren, the man in white nodded slightly, and walked out from under the vine-wrapped grape trellis.

"Junior Brother." Lingxiao Sanren walked over step by step, and said with a smile, "After a while, you will be able to eat hot food. I asked the hostess next door to prepare some home-cooked dishes. This time, Junior Brother Good luck. How is it, my grape waiter is doing well, right?"

"That's right." The man in white said plainly, "Irrigated with the spiritual brew of senior brother, and in a few hundred years, perhaps spiritual wisdom will be born."

The climate in Huangsha City is harsh, not to mention grape vines, even the most tenacious weeds can hardly survive.Lingxiao Sanren loves the things in the cup all his life, and the wine he brews also contains spiritual energy. In order to let the vines in the courtyard grow well, he often pours some of this plant into the root soil when drinking for himself.

"At that time, it will be cultivated into a human form, so it can just be a boy with the senior brother, and it can also be considered as a repayment of the kindness that the senior brother has watered with spiritual wine."

"I just live in this yard by myself, drinking alone is boring, and I want to find a companion to share good wine for myself." Lingxiao Sanren was not annoyed when he was exposed by his means of tending grape vines, and his face was still kind "Oh, it's a pity that my apprentice is not here, otherwise someone would drink with me."

The man in white shook his head and said: "Senior brother, since you feel bored, you can go back to the sect. There are many disciples on Qingyun Peak, so why worry about no one to accompany you for a drink."

Lingxiao Sanren chuckled, and said: "Little Chongyun, I have lived on Qingyun Peak for so many years. I have drank with him even as a living thing, let alone my disciples. Of course, it is also because I think drinking with them is boring. That's why I left the sect and came to the Kyushu Continent to relax."

The man in white was Chong Yun, and he didn't express any dissatisfaction with the name Ling Xiao San said.

Among the masters, he was the latest to start, and after only a few years of practice, his master Chang Qingzi flew to the fairy world, and most of the time was taught by several senior brothers on the way of practice.Lingxiao Sanren is ranked sixth under Changqingzi's sect. When Chongyun was young, he often took him around. Although the two of them are far apart in age, they have a very good relationship. That's why they came first when they came to Kyushu this time. Huangshacheng came to visit his brother.

He nodded, and said in a cold voice that was exactly the same as his face: "Since brother thinks this place is good, let's stay here. I heard that brother has accepted a disciple in Kyushu. If brother doesn't want to go back to the sect for a while, I can Bringing him back, I don't know how senior brother thinks?"

Lingxiao Sanren stroked the short beard on his lips, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you, Chongyun, to care about others. Speaking of which, I, a little disciple, was exactly like you when I was young, like a saw-mouthed gourd, and I couldn't say a word for a long time. So Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake in the hexagram that I made on a whim back then, and actually accepted your disciple."

Chong Yun said: "Brother, don't worry, the master has calculated my fate early in the morning, and there is only one disciple in this life, and it's not him."

Hearing what he said, Lingxiao Sanren couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Little brother, the older you get, the less cute you are. I know that I just want to joke with you, brother. But in this way, Chen'er met his current wife when he was traveling. After the two got married, he finally became more popular, and he is much better than you in this regard."

After the round and short old man finished teasing his junior brother, he remembered to ask him the purpose of his trip, "Well, but speaking of it, why did you come here this time, junior brother? It's not just to see senior brother and me. Bar."

Chongyun said indifferently: "A few days ago, I enlightened on Xiaogan Peak. If I felt something in my heart, I made a hexagram. The hexagram shows that the person who has a relationship with me as a teacher and apprentice in this life happens to be on the mainland of Kyushu. So I set out to look for him, passing through Huangsha City, just in time to see you, Senior Brother."

It turned out that this was the case, and Lingxiao Sanren suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his junior brother, who was devoted to pursuing the Dao and never leaving the mountain gate for thousands of years, would leave Xiaogan Peak.

It seems that their brothers and sisters are related to the mainland of Kyushu.

The old man stroked his short beard with a smile, and before he could speak, he listened to his younger brother say, "When I find him and lead him into the Dao, it will be considered as the fulfillment of my fate as a master and apprentice between me and him in this life. After getting rid of these obstacles, I can focus more on the ultimate in swordsmanship."

——Hey hey?

Lingxiao Sanren looked at his little brother in astonishment, seeing that there was no wave in those black eyes, he nodded slightly to himself, "Since I have already met my brother, then I will go to find my disciple, and there is no need for me to send you off." .”

Seeing that he was about to leave after finishing speaking, Lingxiao Sanren quickly grabbed his sleeve and shouted: "Little Chongyun! It's hard for you to come here, and you haven't had a drink with your senior brother, and you haven't eaten the home-cooked food here. Why did you leave? Don't leave."

Chong Yun let him grab his sleeve, without any displeasure on his face, he just said matter-of-factly: "I came to Kyushu for no reason. If senior brother wants to drink with me, just come to Xiaogan Peak."

Lingxiao Sanren immediately changed his expression, and said sadly: "Xiao Chongyun, senior brother's three disasters and nine calamities are coming soon, I don't know if I can survive this time to go and drink with you, so you just have the heart to refuse senior brother's final offer." A wish?"

Chong Yun's eyes still did not waver at all, and he said slowly: "If senior brother can't survive this and can't come to drink with me again, that's God's will. You and I are both cultivators, so we should know best, even you and I can't disobey Life and death are fixed."

Lingxiao Sanren was speechless by his words, so he finally had to use his trump card and said: "But I have already asked someone to make a banquet for you to cleanse the dust. This 'cause' has been planted by you, brother, so I can't let brother and me alone." People go to repay the 'fruit'?"

As soon as these words came out, Chong Yun was no longer in a hurry to leave, he nodded after thinking for a moment and said: "So, I will have dinner with senior brother before leaving."

"That's right, come on, let's go in and sit and wait." Lingxiao Sanren first smiled, and then made a frowning expression, pretending to sigh, "Brother, talk to brother again. Sigh, maybe this is It's the last time..."

After some time, the woman made some home-cooked dishes with the materials at home, packed them in food boxes, and brought the two children to deliver the meals.She felt uneasy, and she was not as relaxed as before when she entered the courtyard of Lingxiao Sanren.The two children were raised by her ears at home. Today, a powerful fairy head came to the old gentleman's house. If they fell into the eyes of this fairy head, they might be able to follow him and enter the fairy cave. Is excited and nervous.

When the mother and son came in, they were not attracted by the vibrant grape vine as they were in the past, and they just walked into the house.

The residence of Lingxiao Sanren is not special, it is still a simple but solid house, because the sun is obscured by yellow sand and the light is dim, so an oil lamp is lit in the house.The light was like beans, but only illuminated a few inches of air beside the table. The three mother and son saw the round and short old man sitting on a chair, talking and talking to the person sitting opposite him with a smile, and looked away. Moving over, I saw an immortal who could see the extreme, with a cold expression on his brows, dressed in white, as if he brightened the entire dark space.

When the woman saw the real face of this fairy elder, she felt that the food she was cooking was crude, and she didn't know if it would suit the appetite of such a fairy.Nervously, she put the food box on the table, blessed them in the direction of the two, and praised: "The little lady has seen the old man, real person."

Seeing the real person Chongyun looking at him, he quickly collected himself, pulled the two boys behind him who were so nervous that they couldn't lift their heads, and said in a trembling voice, "These are the two sons of the little woman. , but it's also considered clever - I've seen a real person soon." The latter sentence was said to his two sons, and he said it lightly and quickly.

The two children hurriedly stammered, "I've seen... I've seen a real person."

Chongyun didn't say anything, and Lingxiao Sanren smiled and said: "You see, junior brother, you and these two children are also predestined, should you give them something?"

After listening to Lingxiao Sanren's words, the woman showed gratitude, and saw this real person Chongyun ponder for a moment, then nodded slightly.The woman was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said to her two sons: "Quickly kneel down, thank the real person—"

The two children were also very excited and overjoyed, they were about to kneel down and kowtow to thank them, but they were stopped by Chongyun.

Chongyun saw through the thoughts of the mother and son, shook his head and said: "No need to be like this, although they have some affinity with me, they can't enter my door."

The woman was very disappointed when she heard that her child was hopeless, and the two children also stood up straight, and swallowed the "Master" that came to their lips.

Chong Yun stood up and came in front of the two children, and tapped each of their foreheads with his finger, only to see two white glows protruding from his fingertips and rushing into the foreheads of the two children.The two children trembled, as if they had been hit hard, and collapsed to the ground without saying a word, startling the expectant woman, almost thinking that this real person had killed her children.

She fell to the ground, almost fainted, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she just listened to the fairy-like man in white saying: "Senior brother, now I have repaid today's fruit, so I'm leaving."

Ling Xiao scattered people: "Oh, I know I won't be able to stay with you for long, so you go."

As soon as the words fell, the woman watched the white-clothed real person whose voice was as cold as snow disappear into the dim room. She hugged the bodies of the two children, and cast her eyes for help on Lingxiao Sanren who shook his head and sighed. Crying: "Mr.—"

Lingxiao Sanren came to his senses, glanced at the two unconscious children, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, these two boys just couldn't stand the impact of my junior brother's divine sense, so they fainted." Said He paused here, and said with a smile, "My little junior brother is a swordsman genius who can hardly be found in tens of millions of years. Do you know what benefits he gave these two boys?"

The woman was so shocked by the number of ten million years that she was dizzy, she just shook her head and said, "Little lady doesn't know..."

Lingxiao Sanren smiled and said: "My little junior brother used his own spiritual thoughts to directly drive the two sets of sword techniques and insights he created into the consciousness of these two boys. In the future, their cultivation will be a million times easier than ordinary people. This is an opportunity that many people want but can't get."

Then he said, "Well, I don't know who is the person who can have a relationship with him as a master and apprentice."
