The magpie is near the door of the immortal's residence.

The fallen leaves in the autumn wind are golden all over the ground, and a ripe pine cone falls from the treetop from time to time, which is gently bounced by the soft fallen leaves, and rolls aside.

Lu Ci walked up the steps on the fallen leaves, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door twice, and soon he heard the fairy saying: "Come in."

Lu Ci pushed the door open, Senior Brother Yang who was standing in the room couldn't help being puzzled when he saw that it was him, Que Jinxian who was sitting on the couch couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "A Ci?"

Lu Ci bowed towards the magpie and approached the immortal: "Master."

Que Jinxian nodded: "What's the matter with you?"

Lu Ci didn't answer directly, but turned to look at Senior Brother Yang and said, "I heard that there was a fire in Senior Brother's room last night?"

Senior Brother Yang didn't expect him to come here for this matter, so he asked inexplicably, "What?"

Lu Ci said: "Brother, do you suspect that someone did it deliberately?"

Senior Brother Yang said firmly: "Of course, if there were no lights and no one in the room, why would it catch fire if everything was fine?"

Lu Ci gave a noncommittal "hm", and said again: "Do you have evidence, brother?"

Brother Yang turned his head, pointed to the oil lamp he brought on the case table and said: "This is the evidence. It was placed on the table when I left the house, and it was two or three feet away from my bed. If no one moved Why did you suddenly run to the floor next to my bed? How could there be no drop of lamp oil left in it?"

Lu Ci glanced at the oil lamp, and secretly laughed in his heart that the so-called "evidence" was totally nonsense, but his face remained calm, and he said leisurely: "Then how can senior prove that——I didn't call out to catch the thief?"

Senior Brother Yang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "I'm sick! Do I burn my own stuff?"

Lu Ci smiled disdainfully: "I don't know if I'm sick, but as for burning my own stuff - it's very unlikely for others, but you, Senior Brother Yang, may not."

No matter how dull Senior Brother Yang was, he still couldn't hear Lu Ci's insinuations at this time, and he couldn't help frowning and squinting: "What do you mean?"

Lu Ci ignored it, and continued to ask himself: "Senior brother, since this must have been done on purpose, can we find out who did it?"

"I still need to check?" Senior Brother Yang said confidently, "If you think about it with your toes, you know it's Ji Wuzhou!"

"Why?" Lu Ci asked with great interest.

Senior Brother Yang said: "Isn't it because of the house allocation last time? He must be dissatisfied, so he deliberately took revenge while I was not burning my things!"

Lu Ci let out a long "Oh" as if he suddenly realized, and said: "Then I don't understand, since he took the initiative to throw out the senior brother's things last time, and finally achieved the purpose of driving the senior brother away, why do you want to?" It's not you, brother, who is dissatisfied, but him?"

Senior Brother Yang was at a loss for words for a moment, and couldn't find any rebuttal for a while. His eyes wandered for a while, and he simply stopped arguing, and said forcefully, "Anyway, it must be him! There is no one else who dislikes me in this secret realm except him!"

Lu Ci jokingly said: "Brother is really confident."

Senior Brother Yang snorted coldly: "Of course, who else would you say?"

Luci smiled but said slowly, "Me."

Senior Brother Yang's face changed, and it took him a long time to realize the meaning of the words: "You, you, you burned it?!"

Lu Ci continued to smile and said, "Is it a surprise, or is it a surprise? So brother, you still need to use your brain to think about problems in the future, and your toes are still unreliable, right?"

Brother Yang's tongue almost got stuck: "You, why did you burn my things?!"

Lu Ci blinked innocently, and said as a matter of course: "Anyway, brother doesn't want those things anymore, right? I'm kindly helping you solve problems."

Senior Brother Yang is simply unbelievable: "When did I say I don't want it anymore?!"

"Want?" Lu Ci fussed, "What do you want you to throw around last time?"

"Last time, I—" Senior Brother Yang almost missed his words in a hurry, but fortunately he reined in and swallowed it back in time.

At this time, he fully understood the purpose of Lu Ci's visit. Although he was a little guilty, after all, no one had any evidence for what happened last time, but this time Lu Ci had personally admitted that he was the arsonist, so he simply refused. No longer entangled with Lu Ci, turned to Que Jinxian and cupped his hands: "Master!"

Que Jinxian was originally listening to the two of them coming and going, listening to them with great interest, and even touched a grape to eat, but Leng was almost choked by the voice, and hurriedly coughed lightly and put up the master's airs, "Yeah." He said: "Master, I heard it."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment, and said lightly to Senior Brother Yang: "You go back first, the teacher will give you an explanation on this matter."

Brother Yang immediately gained confidence when he heard that, the corners of his mouth and brows raised unconsciously, and he said proudly, "Thank you, Master!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Lu Ci a provocative sideways glance, turned around and walked away.

After the door was closed again, there were only two masters and apprentices left in the room. Lu Ci regained the momentum he had just confronted Senior Brother Yang, and stood calmly on the spot looking down at the ground.

Que Jinxian's fingertips tapped on the small case in front of him one after another, staring at Lu Ci thoughtfully for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Ah Ci—"

Before the words finished, Lu Ci lifted up his clothes neatly and knelt down on the ground: "I set the fire, I have nothing to say, please punish Master."

Que Jinxian was stunned for a moment, inexplicably being reminded of another memory by this attitude of being willing to be beaten or punished, and then he couldn't help feeling that it was funny, shaking his head and chuckling.

Lu Ci didn't know what he was thinking, seeing him laughing inexplicably made him confused, but Que Jinxian didn't explain much, just said: "It's good that you know that you will be punished, you can tell yourself, how should I punish you as a teacher?"

Lu Ci was unequivocal about this, and said firmly: "Let Master dispose of it, and I have no objection."

Que Jinxian gave a satisfied "huh" and said: "The murderer pays the debt and pays the debt. Since you burned his things, you should pay him a new one as it was."

After hearing Luci, isn't this a piece of cake for me?Immediately without hesitation, he simply said: "Obey!"

"However, this is not a punishment," Unexpectedly, Que Jinxian immediately changed the topic, "At best, it can only be regarded as making up for mistakes."

Only then did Lu Ci realize that there might be more to come, and immediately stared at Que Jinxian with his ears pricked up and waited.

"As for the punishment—" Que Jinxian deliberately prolonged his tone, and suddenly smiled unpredictablely, "I will punish you not to make wine or drink wine before leaving the island."

Lu Ci stared in shock: "Master?!"

If this punishment is changed to others, it may feel that it is not painful at all, but to Luci, it is like a bolt from the blue-the only hurdle he has not passed in the 72 Island Trial is wine making, which he has long regarded as It is the final hurdle that must be overcome in the rest of the continent, but now Quejinxian is punishing him not to continue, which is really to the point.

Que Jinxian was originally "prescribing the right medicine", and he was not surprised to see Lu Ci's reaction so intensely, so he said unhurriedly, "Why, didn't you say that you should let the teacher handle it without any objection?"

Lu Ci couldn't argue with his mouth, and after holding back for a long time, he couldn't help but angrily said: "This is too much!"

"Is it too much?" Que Jinxian raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "Why don't you go and call all the brothers and let them review it and see it is not too much?"

Lu Ci wants to cry but has no tears - this is simply difficult for the strong!Every time those senior brothers heard that he was going to brew wine, they wished they could tie him up and knock him out. If this really happened, wouldn't everyone celebrate with one voice?

Lu Ci originally confidently thought that no matter what kind of punishment he could take with him, but now he felt so aggrieved that he was almost hurt internally, and he had to complain that Jiang was really old and hot, and he was as tender as a piece of tofu in front of the master's thousand-year-old practice like.

But the slander is the slander, he still wanted to try to struggle to the death, but just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly cut off by a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

Que Jinxian raised his eyes and said without asking who it was, "Come in."

Lu Ci turned his head and saw Ji Wuzhou who pushed the door and entered, and Tong Sang who was far behind him who was poking his head.

——Tong Sang still went to look for Ji Wuzhou, and at this time he followed him but did not dare to approach him, and saw Lu Ci kneeling in the room and his staring stare that seemed to eat people through the crack of the door from a distance, Immediately shrank his head in fright and ran away without a trace.

At the same time, Ji Wuzhou had already closed the door, and Lu Ci's sight was immediately blocked, so he could only look back at Ji Wuzhou again.

Ji Wuzhou also lowered his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything, walked directly to his side, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt side by side with him.

Lu Ci was a little bit astonished, but Que Jinxian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the situation: "What's the matter, are you going to worship with me? Do you need to serve you two more glasses of wine as a teacher?"

Ji Wuzhou ignored the ridicule, and said: "This matter was caused by me, and I should be punished—"

"Nonsense!" Lu Ci immediately interrupted, "I set the fire on fire, what does it have to do with you?"

Ji Wuzhou turned his head and said calmly: "Why did you let go?"

Lu Ci choked for a moment, but quickly said confidently: "I just don't like him, can't I?"

Ji Wuzhou didn't want to argue with him, so he just looked at him calmly, and Lu Ci didn't give in at all, and looked at him stubbornly.

Que Jinxian had already prepared his posture to continue watching the play, but he saw that the two of them started to face each other in silence, suddenly felt dull, and said "tsk" in a disinterested manner: "Okay, okay, Let’s all get up. Anyway, the punishment is over, if you want to fight for right or wrong, go back to the house and close the door to fight, and don’t bother me here.”

When Lu Ci heard this, he raised his eyebrows at Ji Wuzhou triumphantly, stood up swiftly, patted the dust on his knees and said relaxedly: "Master, then shall we go first?"

Que Jinxian raised his hand casually, and Ji Wuzhou wanted to ask what the punishment would be, but was forced by Lu Ci to stand up and drag him outside the door: "Let's go, let's go."

Ji Wuzhou had no choice but to follow to the door, but just as she was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly heard Que Jinxian calling from behind: "Wuzhou?"

The two stopped together and turned their heads.

Que Jinxian smiled meaningfully: "Do you believe in cause and effect?"

Ji Wuzhou couldn't help being stunned, but Lu Ci was listening in a cloud, and was about to ask what he meant, but Que Jinxian raised his chin and said, as if he didn't need Ji Wuzhou's answer: "Go Bar."

Ji Wuzhou withdrew his eyes and turned around. Although Lu Ci was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions, and followed him out of the house.

After walking in silence for a while, Lu Ci couldn't help asking: "What did Master just say?"

In fact, Ji Wuzhou didn't fully understand what Master meant, but he had some guesses in his heart, but those guesses couldn't be explained by Lu Ci, so he simply didn't answer and asked instead: "What did Master punish you for?"

Lu Ci was taken aback for a moment, he had been busy competing with Ji Wuzhou in the room just now, and he had almost forgotten about it, now he remembered it again when he was reminded, and suddenly felt overwhelmed, but he quickly pretended to be He said relaxedly: "It's nothing, just let me pay for the burned things of Senior Brother Yang as a new one."

When Ji Wuzhou heard that it was so simple, he couldn't help but confirm: "That's all?"

"That's right," Lu Ci nodded and smiled nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal at first, so why can't I be punished as a cow and a horse to apologize?"

This is true, but for some reason, Ji Wuzhou always felt that Lu Ci was not as relaxed as he showed, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so he nodded and said: "Then I Pay with you."

Lu Ci subconsciously wanted to say "no", but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and instantly changed his words: "Okay, I'm going to accompany Tongsang to Mianhua Island to make quilts in the afternoon, and I can also make Brother Yang's share Are you coming too?"

When Ji Wuzhou heard that he was going to walk with others, he instinctively wanted to avoid it, but it was hard to contradict what he had said, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "...OK."
