old grace

Xie Qinghe felt that life was difficult.

Yun Chao and Fu Chuan were not around, so they had to do their own daily necessities.

He originally thought, what is this?Didn't I have a good life before I met Yun Chao and my junior brother went up the mountain?How can I just stretch out my clothes and open my mouth, the majestic head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, I can't take care of myself anymore?

——Take care of yourself, of course it is possible.

It's just going from frugal to extravagant.Before meeting Yun Chao, Xie Qinghe's cultivation base was far inferior to what it is today, and he rarely used Taoist methods in his daily life.

In these years, there was either Yun Chao serving by his side, or a junior junior following him to curry favor all the time, and occasionally taking care of the daily chores by himself, most of them were done by supernatural and holy Taoist means.Holding a teacup, the mountain spring can be turned into hot water. With a touch of your fingertips, the real fire can ignite charcoal. Even washing clothes and sheets can be quickly done by shaking the water. It is really a long time since I have been to "mortal life".

Without Yun Chao who cooks and cooks, without the junior brother who serves tea and water, he doesn't know how to use all the true essence spells.

Xie Qinghe picked up a bunch of flammable withered grass as a fire starter, rolled up his tongue and blew on the torch, and then used a thin flame to light the dry grass. Seeing that the dry grass was about to burn out, and the charcoal underneath hadn't burned yet, he had no choice but to grab it again. Filled the fire with a handful of hay.After burning the withered grass that was several times higher than before, the charcoal was finally lit.

Xie Qinghe comforted himself, it was just that the kung fu of burning the fire was rusty, and after a few more burns, he would be able to become proficient and return to his peak state.

The fire was burning, Xie Qinghe added firewood to the hearth, and three pots were heated on the stove.

The water urn is used for cooking hot water, which is used for washing face and hands, the steamer is stuffed with rice, and the iron pot is stewed with soup.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat better, he has to cook and burn firewood alone, and he can't use his true essence to enhance his five senses to monitor the cooking stove. Xie Qinghe, who has not been a down-to-earth person for a long time, really can't do it.

After finally cooking a meal and putting the soup and rice on the table, Xie Qinghe suddenly thought: [I don’t need to eat. 】

Bigu doesn't need to take the initiative to cast any spells. With Xie Qinghe's cultivation, he can't starve to death if he doesn't eat. If he can control his thoughts and appetite, he won't even feel "hungry".

After eating this meal, Xie Qinghe simply quit eating and drinking tea.

——I have to burn fire for tea and rice, so annoying.

Because he had just returned to Hanshan not long ago, the outer disciples who were in charge of taking care of the offerings at the Observatory came to greet him as usual, and asked the real master what he needed in the near future.

In the past, Yun Chao or Fu Chuan were in charge of these matters. Neither of them were at home. Xie Qinghe personally received the disciple: "Come the next day to get clothes and bedding to wash. You don't need to send vegetables, meat and food. Ten altars of spring cooking, ten altars of peach mountain brewing, Ten altars of bojiu. There is a disciple named Lu Dan in Miaomiao Mountain Residence, who tells him to come to the observatory every three to five days to do some chores."

The Hanjiang Sword Sect is purely inherited from the Dharma lineage. Most of the masters are the elders of the disciples under the sect. They don’t usually have the opportunity to meet and disturb them. If they have the opportunity to meet and talk, they will take the opportunity to ask questions about their cultivation or directly discuss their problems. Asking for advice is a tacit benefit.

The opportunity to serve in the observatory is very rare, and usually the most outstanding young disciples in the outer sect's recent evaluation are scheduled to take turns.Xie Qinghe directly ordered the young disciples of Miao Miao Shanju to serve him, skipping the many outstanding disciples from the outer sect who were queuing up to brush up on the elder brothers, which inevitably aroused criticism from the outer sect.

Xie Qinghe, who is still sane, would never do such a thing.

Sanity, however, ran away from home.

The current Xie Qinghe doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons, nor does he have any restraint at all.What he likes to do, he must indulge himself in what to do.

The outer disciples who got the order went back to report the matter to Chen Yiwei who was in charge of general affairs, Chen Yiwei was not surprised at all.

The little disciple named Lu Dan was brought up the mountain by the younger brother, and he has always been very close to the star observatory. When the younger brother lived in Sandalwood Xiaozhu and Banshan Taoli, that child would go to the younger brother's place every day for food. .When the junior apprentice starts accepting apprentices, the child will enter the inner sect sooner or later.

Now the big brother asked Lu Dan to do hygiene, Chen Yiwei thought it was normal.Eldest brother can't clean the table and sweep the floor by himself, and the observatory is not an easy place to enter, so it's only natural to find a familiar and reliable child to do chores and cultivate a relationship with the future nephew.

But when I heard that Xie Qinghe banned vegetables and meat, he also didn't want charcoal for supply, instead he asked for thirty jars of wine, Chen Yiwei felt a little weird.

Said that the senior brother wants to fast the valley, right?Why not ban alcohol?That means no bigu, right?Why didn't you eat any food?

Strange as it is, Chen Yiwei didn't dare to ask more about senior brother's personal affairs.After sealing the order of the head master who was asked by his disciples for instructions, Chen Yiwei approved the note and adjusted the offering booklet of the star observatory. On the same day, someone specially assigned the wine that Xie Qinghe wanted to the star observatory, and took away the dirty wine that Xie Qinghe had replaced. clothes and bedding.

The dirty clothes and bedding were taken away by the outer disciples, Xie Qinghe sighed as he looked at the pants he had changed.

In the past, he asked his juniors to take away the underpants together.

Ever since I made love to my junior brother, it seems a little bad to do it like this again...

Fortunately, there is only one pair of underpants that need to be washed every day. Xie Qinghe made some acacia, rubbed it, wrung it dry, and hung it by the gourd pond. Looking forward to opening a jar of three kinds of wine, try this and that, and open it Drinking wine happily, humming a little song.

This time down the mountain and lived in Xingcheng for a few months, Xie Qinghe hums all Xingcheng ditties, which are melodious, straightforward and catchy.

In short, the melody is simple and easy to pick up.

"You can't catch a fish alive, but you can't catch a fish if you catch a fish. It's hard to grow old, and it's hard to grow old." Then there should be a few words "Ai Yi Ya Ai Yi Ya". There was a slender hum in the middle, "Uh-huh, heh-huh..."

He is really happy.

Without reason, without moderation.Naturally, there is no sense of responsibility.

He clearly knew that there was a reason for Shuang Ling to run away from home, and he also knew that the birth of the Yaozu was deeply involved.According to Fu's legend, Shu Hanyun seemed to be held hostage by the demon clan. Once something happened to the emperor, Dragon City would not be disturbed, and the court might be in chaos.Even Fu Chuan outside may not be safe.

——He was a little bit worried about Fu Chuan's safety, but he felt relieved when he remembered that he had given his junior brother a bunch of magic weapons.

Once he accepted his "stupid and powerless" self-cognition, Xie Qinghe completely gave up his efforts.

All he wants now is to rest, play, and enjoy.Wait until the "plan" is over.

In Xie Qinghe's mind, the only part of the whole plan that he needs to be responsible for is to prevent anyone from discovering that his Shuang Ling is missing.

The test came very quickly.

Three days later, Lu Dan came to clean the house.

The frail and sickly child has grown into a teenager. The reason why Lu Dan is still living in Miaomiao Mountain Residence is because he is waiting for Fu Chuan to open his door to accept disciples.

Originally, according to Lu Dan's aptitude, he had no chance to be an inner sect at all.Being able to make a living in the outer sect is all due to Fu Chuan's affection.Unable to hold back Xie Qinghe, a new practice method was born out of nowhere. Lu Dan adapted very well to the "Strong God Armor Method". After getting the practice method, the old heart disease has shown signs of recovery.

Fu Chuan thought that his foundation was unstable, his virtue was insufficient, and he was not qualified to accept disciples.Moreover, the new law has changed the structure of the inner and outer sects of the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan have not yet agreed on a new sect structure, and it is not suitable to immediately change the current situation of internal and external divisions.

Therefore, Lu Dan temporarily stayed at Miaomiao Shanju to continue his practice, and did not go to the outer sect to serve.

"The real master is merciful." Lu Dan entered the door to salute, with four parts of respect and four parts of admiration in his eyes, and two parts of joyful closeness.

The one who saved him from Miss Mo San was Xie Qinghe, and the one who didn't abandon him by the side of the road and took him all the way to Beijing and back to the mountain was also Xie Qinghe.Everyone in the Hanjiang Sword Sect thought he was an orphan picked up by Fu Chuan, but they didn't know that his real benefactor was Xie Qinghe.

Lu Dan has no disrespect or love for Fu Chuan, but he remembers very clearly who was the first to lend a helping hand to him.

"Well, wipe the tables, chairs and cabinets, as well as the floor of the inner bedroom and study room, and sweep the dust in other places. It's cold in winter, you go to the stove to burn some hot water, don't freeze your hands " Xie Qinghe knew that Lu Dan was one of his own, but Shangguan Shiyi didn't even want to tell the secret of his stupidity, so how could it be leaked to Lu Dan?

Seeing that Lu Dan bowed in response, Xie Qinghe got up and walked to the bedroom: "I will rest in the room for a while, you just keep your hands and feet light and don't talk, just do what you have to do, don't worry about disturbing me."

Lu Dan nodded obediently: "Yes."

Xie Qinghe went into the house to sleep in peace.

From what he thought, he didn't even have two rooms, so he could finish it by noon at least.To be on the safe side, Xie Qinghe decided to sleep until evening. Lu Dan must have finished cleaning and left. He got up again to drink some wine, blow some air, and play in the snow...it was perfect.

Just as Xie Qinghe expected, before noon, Lu Dan cleaned several rooms.

As long as Xie Qinghe kept the bedroom and study clean, Lu Dan didn't use a broom at all, and used hot water to wipe the walls, furniture, floors, and all the places that should be washed carefully.A young and strong guy who works carefully and quickly.Even the kitchen that had been useless for several days was cleaned up by Lu Dan.

Seeing that Xie Qinghe didn't have a fire to cook, Lu Dan ate two steamed buns he brought, and made a pot of ginger tea to drink.

How could he let it go so easily when he had the rare opportunity to meet with the head of the sect?After the work was done, Lu Dan took out the questions he had written and went through them again, and also repeatedly studied the wording for asking the headmaster later, how to ask questions so that it would appear that I was not stupid but encountered a bottleneck.

Lu Dan was cooking in the kitchen until half the afternoon, while Xie Qinghe slept in the inner bedroom.

——For a person like Xie Qinghe who is full of energy and energy, the seven souls are extremely powerful. He intends to sleep until the evening before waking up, and he will never wake up in the middle.

Lu Dan has also sorted out the questions that should be answered, and the wording that should be thought of, and waited and waited until Xie Qinghe got up. As a junior disciple, he was too embarrassed to stay in the teacher's room, so he ran out to tell the neighbor. The cabins I lived in were also cleaned.

Fu Chuan's house had not been lived in for several months, and there was only a little dust, so it was easier to clean up.

After cleaning the cabin, Lu Dan really had nothing else to do, so he ran out and wiped down the large terrace where Xie Qinghe used to sit and drink tea, and then ran to wipe down the viewing room by the cliff.I only hate that so many places in the observatory are grass, otherwise he would have more places to rub!

Finally, Lu Dan was so busy that the sun gradually set.

Xie Qinghe stretched his muscles and sat up from the bed. Before he could put on his shoes and socks, he stomped on the ground with his bare feet——

Satisfied, happy.

Everywhere was clean and very comfortable.

When he casually put on a shirt and was about to go out for a drink, he suddenly found the back of a young man sitting on the veranda outside the door, eating steamed buns.

Lu Dan? !

He hasn't returned yet?

Lu Dan had also heard the commotion in the house, turned his head hastily, and immediately put away the half-eaten steamed buns, and entered the door respectfully to greet him: "Disciple pays homage to Master Master."

Xie Qinghe lit the lamp, and Lu Dan followed him naturally, intending to kneel down and ask for advice.

Usually Xie Qinghe doesn't light a lot of lamps, because his eyesight is excellent and he doesn't need too many candles, and secondly, Fu Chuan likes to twist around, Xie Qinghe always thinks that looking at beauties under the lamp is the best taste.However, Fu Chuan likes to put lights everywhere at home, and he is happy only when they are bright.

There are many lights in the house.

Xie Qinghe lighted the lamp slowly, and heard Lu Dan say behind his back: "Fa said, go quietly in the Qing Dynasty, only two but three. My disciples often use the method of two and three to control Qi and distract their minds. I have gained something before, and recently I have practiced Tianlei. In the article of making utensils, the law says that thunder is the extreme of the sky, pure yang strikes the world, and it is covered with laws and punishments. The disciples are a little confused, whether to practice this method of thunder, whether it is between two or three or the average of pure yang ?”

I can understand every word, but when put together... I'm confused.

The method of two or three, the balance of pure yang, and the knowledge that requires complicated learning are all things that Shuang Ling is responsible for managing.

Xie Qinghe couldn't even figure out what Lu Dan was talking about. He wanted to say some plausible sentences, but he was afraid that the pretending would not be good, so he just exposed his secrets.

Lu Dan seriously stated all the questions he had memorized half a piece of paper clearly, and Xie Qinghe had already lit up all the lamps in the house.Seeing that Xie Qinghe had turned off the lamp and pulled him back, Lu Dan looked at him expectantly.

"If you have these questions, tell you which is right and which is wrong, and what is the benefit of practice?" Xie Qinghe asked back.

Lu Dan suddenly showed a shameful expression, and lowered his head: "Disciple... I am ashamed."

"It's always because the foundation is not solid enough. You have to read the early books, pick up the old books that you put down in the past and read them again. Always use your brain on a book called "Strengthening God's Armor Technique", The knowledge is too narrow. Go, go back and study hard.”

Xie Qinghe doesn't know the specific and complex knowledge of practice, but he has basic common sense.No matter what kind of practice method, Chu Ling's scripture is the foundation of the practice of all the disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, and it is not a waste of effort to read it ten thousand times.

Sending Lu Dan back to read the Chuling Classics is by no means Xie Qinghe's misleading disciples and ordering them indiscriminately.

How could Lu Dan think that the head of the sect is an idiot who doesn't know a single word. He really thought that his practice was not down-to-earth, and he seemed a little ambitious.After being taught a few words by Xie Qinghe, his handsome face blushed with shame, and he couldn't stop bowing his head to admit his mistake: "Yes, yes, disciple knows his mistake, disciple corrects his mistakes."

At the moment, Lu Dan didn't dare to pester him for answers to questions that he had written on half a sheet of paper. After saying good night, he resigned disheartenedly.

After Lu Dan left, Xie Qinghe looked at the bright lights all over the room and fell into deep thought.

In the Chen Dynasty, he had been separated from Shuang Ling.The experience at that time was quite special. There were servants to take care of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and there was nothing to worry about—Shuang Ling and his junior brother had made arrangements, and he only needed to occupy Chen Qi's skin and play and have fun every day.

However, is it true that You Jing cannot learn complicated knowledge and wisdom that need to be learned for a long time?

Isn't it because of the integration of the three souls, this part of the "work" that requires intelligence is assigned to Shuang Ling?Everyone does their job.

The knowledge I have learned was taken away by Shuang Ling, so can't I learn it from scratch?I must not learn it?Am I born stupider than Shuang Ling?It's all Xie Qinghe, why should he be responsible for being smart and I be responsible for losing my temper?

Unconvinced!

Xie Qinghe flipped out two books from the cabinet.Start learning today!

... No, of these two books, which one is "Yan Shui Lu" and which one is "Tao Shou Shan"?Xie Qinghe couldn't read big characters, the titles of the two books were all three characters, and they were placed in the same drawer, so he couldn't tell which was which.

The ambition was splashed with cold water, but it didn't extinguish Xie Qinghe's enthusiasm.

Isn't it just learning from the mystery of heaven and earth and the prehistoric universe?What's so hard about spelling.

I am not stupid.

I am also Xie Qinghe.

■

Xie Qinghe can skip meals, drink tea, take a bath in cold water, and rub his pants with his hands.

However, it was difficult for him to reject the bewildered and knowledge-seeking eyes of his disciples.It seems that Shuang Ling should be responsible for things like responsibility and rationality.However, the feelings for the sect and the love for the disciples under the sect are completely left in Youjing's heart.

Xie Qinghe really wanted to tell Lu Dan what Ersanzhisuke and Chunyang Zhijun were, and how to judge when to use them.

He didn't want to tell Lu Dan to read the scriptures you didn't understand two hundred times when Lu Dan asked for advice again.

——He must take good care of his disciples and live up to expectations.
