My Taoist Companion Thumb Demon

The young man's face was full of longing, and his bright eyes sparkled with admiration for immortals and longing for the future.Facing such a young man, Su Qingyun slightly closed his eyes and did not respond to them.

With the immortal's attitude, Ye Lin felt uneasy.He had been lucky enough to call on Mr. Su as his teacher, and if he learned the basics of cultivating immortals, he would have a greater chance of standing out in the Immortal Trial Conference, and being selected by the immortals to become an introductory disciple directly.Otherwise, based on the current abilities of him and his younger brother, if he is lucky enough to become an outer disciple, if he is unlucky, he can only be a handyman.

He has very important things to do, how can he become a handyman?

"I beg the gods to help you!" Ye Lin slammed his forehead heavily on the ground, begging.

"Pray for the immortals to fulfill—" Ye Yan kowtowed along with her elder brother.

Su Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, looked down at the two brothers kneeling on the ground.Their sincerity really moved him, but he couldn't accept them as disciples.One is that his own realm is not high, and he is still groping for the way of practice, and the other is that he will not stay in this world for too long, as long as he finds a way to restore his senior brother to his real body, he will leave this world.

Although Ye Lin is only 15 years old, she already understands the truth, hides a secret in her heart, and bears it until now. Ye Yan is young, seemingly innocent and romantic, and obeys her elder brother's advice.Such two people, with blurred backgrounds, are extremely assertive, and they will have their own paths to follow in the future, so they are not suitable to be his apprentices.

Su Qingyun said: "I will teach you the method of refining qi, but you don't have to take me as your teacher."

Ye Lin couldn't help raising his head, and blurted out: "Why?"

Su Qingyun squatted down, touched his head, and said with a smile: "If you worship me as your teacher, you can no longer worship others as your teacher. If you participate in the Immortal Trial Conference, if you have the opportunity to become a disciple of the immortal sect, you can worship him." Da Neng in Xianmen is your teacher. I still have important things to do, so I don’t have time to teach you.”

Ye Lin was patted on the head, feeling a little less lost in her heart.

Su Qingyun helped them up, patted them on the shoulder, and said: "You have excellent aptitude. If the people of Xianmen have unique insight, they will definitely choose you as beginner disciples. There is no need to worry."

Ye Lin bowed to Su Qingyun in shame. "Thank you Mr. Su, I was a little abrupt just now."

After Ye Yan saluted, she looked at Su Qingyun curiously. "Will we really be chosen by Xianmen?"

Su Qingyun smiled and said: "Do you think anyone can use the Qiankun rope that Helian gave?"

"Ah? How do you say that?" Ye Yan was confused.

Su Qingyun explained: "All magical artifacts have spirituality and will pick their own masters. If they are obtained by mediocre people, although the magical artifacts cannot resist, they will never exert [-]% of their power. Every time you hunt , did you miss it?"

"No." Ye Lin shook his head.

"That's it." Su Qingyun said, "It can be seen that the Qiankun Rope recognizes your aptitude and ability and is willing to be used by you, so you can catch prey every time."

"It's so!" Ye Lin and Ye Yan were taken aback.

"So, you don't need to worry." Su Qingyun said.

Ye Lin looked serious, and said seriously: "Please teach us the method of refining Qi!"

Su Qingyun nodded and asked them to close the door of the house, form a mudra with their hands, and set up a simple defensive formation around the house, then took out three tufted cattails from the Yin-Yang bead pendant and placed them on the ground.

He sat down cross-legged, waved his hands, and asked the two teenagers to sit down too.

Ye Yan imitated Su Qingyun's movements, sitting on the tuanpu with a novel look on his face, Ye Lin was much more stable than him, sat down upright, and listened carefully to Su Qingyun's recitation of formulas.

At first they couldn't understand at all, but under Su Qingyun's tireless explanation, the two teenagers gradually got the trick of breathing in.

In the following days, Ye Lin and Ye Yan practiced diligently and persevered. As long as there was still food left at home, they would sit on the tuanpu and follow Su Qingyun to refine Qi. Half a month later, Ye Lin felt the aura floating in the air , successfully introduced Qi into the body, and after five days, Ye Yan also learned the method of refining Qi.

Ye Lin was overjoyed, and obviously felt that his body was different, his whole body was full of strength, as long as he absorbed the spiritual energy, he would have inexhaustible strength, and when he went hunting in the mountains, he could catch rabbits quickly without relying on the rope.

Ye Yan's archery has improved qualitatively, shooting and killing small animals that are running away, with a hundred hits.

The two brothers tasted the benefits brought by the method of refining qi. Not only are their eyes and ears sharp, but they are also agile. When hunting, they focused on large prey, such as deer and wild boar.

On this day, as soon as the sun showed half of his face, Ye Lin and Ye Yan went up the mountain.They have practiced at home for a month, and the food surplus has bottomed out. If they don't go hunting in the mountains and exchange some corn from the villagers, they will be unable to solve the problem.

"Brother Lin, you ran past several rabbits just now, don't you want to kill them?" Ye Yan asked.

Ye Lin used a machete to cut the grass blocking the front and cleared a path.

"Any hunter can hunt rabbits. They can't be exchanged for much food. Today we will hunt only the big ones. We don't have to be busy in the next month. We just need to wait patiently for the Immortal Trial Conference."

After thinking about it, Ye Yan felt that what he said was very reasonable, clenched his fists, and said: "Okay, brother Lin, let's kill a big wild boar, and let the people in the village see how good we are, hehehe."

Ye Lin looked back at him and said, "Although we are stronger than before, we must not be careless."

Ye Yan rubbed her nose and smiled: "Brother Lin, don't worry, if we really can't fight, we can still use the Qiankun Rope."

Ye Lin looked forward, slowed down his pace, came to a giant tree, poked out half of his head, and whispered: "Although the Qiankun rope is easy to use, if it is too dependent, it is not conducive to practice."

Ye Yan leaned against him in a very tacit understanding, showing half of her face, took a closer look, and was amused.

"Brother, we are lucky." He took the bow and arrow from his back.

In the woods ahead, there was a lone wild boar looking for food leisurely.This wild boar is black, with sharp fangs, fat and strong, weighing more than two hundred catties, it is not easy to take it down.

Ye Lin gripped the hatchet tightly, and said to Ye Yan: "The pig's skin is thick, so it's not easy to shoot. We must find out its weak point."

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I know." Ye Yan put the arrow on the bow and aimed it at the wild boar's eyes.What part is more fragile than the eyes?

In the evening, the sky was full of sunset, the birds returned to their nests, and the villagers who went hunting in the mountains returned with full loads. The small village located in the forest was full of excitement.

The children were playing around their father, the old people were sitting under the trees to enjoy the shade, the women were yelling to help their husbands untie the prey from their backs, and some people put out the prey on the village square and peddled it on the spot. Surrounded the past, picking fat and thin.

Old Liu Wei, the head of the village, bent over and walked on the square with his son, wanting to pick up a wild boar's trotter and go home to make up for his sick mother-in-law.After walking around in circles, no one had caught a wild boar today. He shook his head in disappointment. His son Liu Xin looked around and saw a fat pheasant.

"Father, if you don't have pig's trotters, you can cook a pheasant, right?" he asked.

Lao Liu stroked his beard and said, "Your mother just wants to eat pig's trotters. You buy her a pheasant, and be careful that she cuts off her head."

Liu Xin immediately touched the back of his head, feeling a chill in his neck.Fortunately, his mother is sick and bedridden now, and can't beat anyone. If she was still strong in the past, she might have been scalped.

He was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and a child shouted: "What a big wild boar!"

People who heard the sound gathered curiously at the entrance of the village, only to see a huge wild boar approaching slowly, and some people took up arrows in fear to shoot.

"Stop!" Lao Liu shouted, raised his hand and pressed the man's bow. "No eyes? That's obviously a dead wild boar."

"Eh? Dead?" The man rubbed his eyes.

"Ah? It's Ye Lin and Ye Yan!" Someone had sharp eyes and saw the two teenagers carrying wild boars.

The three brave little boys ran over, and they saw Ye Lin and Ye Yan who were crushed to the ground under the wild boar.I saw them pushing one after the other under the belly of the wild boar and walking towards the village with difficulty.

"What? Ye Lin and Ye Yan?" The men were taken aback.How could two brats beat such a strong wild boar?

"Go and help." Lao Liu said to his son.

Liu Xin frowned, walked forward reluctantly, and several young and strong young men followed, came to Ye Lin's side, and said a few words to them, after a while, six or seven The young man carried more than 200 catties of wild boar back to the village.

The wild boar was placed heavily on the ground, shaking the ground three times. All men, women and children gathered around. Ye Lin and Ye Yan were sweating profusely, with their hands on their knees, gasping for breath.

There were many wounds on their bodies, which were left by fighting with the wild pigs. Their shoulders were sore, and they could hardly lift their hands. They were carrying the wild pigs all the way from the mountain.Although embarrassed, they had smiles on their faces.

"Ye Lin, is this the wild boar you hunted?" The village chief Lao Liu stared at them with piercing eyes.

Ye Lin wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Exactly."

Someone sneered, Ye Lin looked up and saw that it was Liu Xin, the son of the village chief.

"It's just you, a sick girl, who can hunt such a strong wild boar? I'm afraid you are taking advantage of others?" Liu Xin mocked.

Ye Yan gritted her teeth and shouted: "Brother Lin and I shot this together, it's our own prey! If you don't believe me, look at the arrows on the wild boar's eyes!"

As soon as he reminded them, everyone turned their attention to the wild boar's eyes, and sure enough, there were two arrows that were fast entering the end, which were the same as the arrows in Ye Yan's back quiver.

"You really hunted it?" Someone asked in surprise.

Ye Yan patted her chest and said proudly: "That's needless to say? It's absolutely true!"

Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted the village chief as a junior, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "A few days ago, Ayan and I dug a trap on the mountain. Today, when we went up the mountain, a wild boar fell into the trap unexpectedly, but its size Big, it's easy to get out, we spent a lot of effort and finally killed it."

The village chief stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that you are lucky."

Ye Lin said: "Thanks to the village head."

"Oh?" The village chief raised his eyebrows.

Ye Lin looked at the surrounding villagers, and said calmly: "After my parents disappeared on the mountain, we brothers have been taken care of by everyone for so many years, especially the village head, who not only rescued us when we were young, but also taught us how to hunt. , Let us learn how to survive. This year’s wild boar was not only killed by us, but also by everyone. Here, Ye Lin bows to everyone.”

Under the surprised gaze of the crowd, Ye Lin bent down solemnly.

The villagers whispered, Lao Liu was silent, Liu Xin crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth, while Ye Yan looked at his elder brother in puzzlement.

Why should brother Lin thank the villagers?This wild boar was obviously hunted by them themselves, so what has it to do with them?

Ye Lin straightened up and said to the village chief: "To thank everyone, I want to divide this wild boar."

"Brother Lin?" Ye Yan was a little anxious, and Ye Lin pressed his shoulder.

Old Liu opened his half-closed eyes, only to feel that this young man has an extraordinary bearing, which is extraordinary.How long has he not looked at this child carefully?He grew up to be more and more like his father, and his features faintly resembled his mother's.

"Yo? Are you willing to score?" Liu Xin whistled.

As soon as the other villagers heard that there were wild boars, they all gathered here with beaming faces. The women looked at the handsome Ye Lin, and the more they liked it, the more they liked it.

When did Ye Lin grow into a handsome boy?

Ye Lin lowered his eyes and said gently: "Naturally, I'm afraid that a pig is not enough, but courtesy is light and affection is heavy, and I hope everyone will forgive me."

Over the past month, after getting along with Mr. Su, he not only learned the art of refining qi, but also learned a lot of ways of doing things.Mr. Su would sometimes tell them some ways of the world, and he listened with great interest.Slowly, he finally understood that blindly being independent would do no good except to be isolated, bullied, and looked down upon.If he wants to participate in the Immortal Trial Conference, he must have a quota to participate in the Immortal Trial Conference.How to get the quota?It was obtained from the village head.

Old Liu chuckled, kindly. "You, not bad."

"Father?" Liu Xin tilted her head.

Old Liu patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Go, let's help Ye Lin dissect the wild hunting together."

Liu Xin frowned, stepped forward obediently, and stepped on the wild boar. "Good guy, such solid meat."

With a sigh of admiration, he raised his head and shouted: "Who has a sharp knife? Borrow it!"

"I have!"

"I have!"

The villagers were very active, and Liu Xin didn't need to say anything, someone handed the knife, and someone helped to disassemble it together. Soon, the whole square was bustling with activity, and everyone was smiling.

Ye Lin and Ye Yan only kept ten catties of meat for themselves, and divided up the rest. The village chief got a pig's trotter and was very satisfied.

"Ye Lin, take these corn." A woman threw a bag to Ye Lin, although it was not much, it still had some weight.

"Aunt Zhang, is this inappropriate?" Ye Lin declined.

Aunt Zhang stared. "What's wrong? If I tell you, I'll give it to you."

Ye Lin shrugged his shoulders, thanked him, and accepted it.

As soon as they accepted it, many people stuffed them with vegetables, fruits, corn, eggs, duck eggs, rabbit meat, etc. A hill was piled up in front of them, Ye Lin thanked them one by one, and asked Ye Yan to put them in the basket .

After night fell, people in the square dispersed. Ye Lin and Ye Yan happily returned home with two baskets full of food on their backs.

When they were about to get home, they saw the light suddenly turned on in the house. They were overjoyed and quickened their pace. After pushing the door and entering, they saw Su Qingyun sitting gracefully on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at him tenderly. watching them.

Ye Lin's eyes were sour, and for some reason, she wanted to cry.
