"Master, this child looks quite young. Did he get separated from his family, or was he abducted by someone else?" Meng Xingliang asked worriedly. "Why don't master do me a favor, let's take him home!"
She blinked her watery eyes and stared at Qing Huan, but unfortunately only small animals and children were able to make Qing Huan cute. After ten years old, they basically lost the qualification to be cute. So she glanced at the big apprentice with a half-smile: "Oh? Then tell me, how can I help you?"
"Master pinch his fingers and calculate?" Meng Xingliang blindly worshiped Qing Huan, thinking that his master could do anything, and it was all right.
Qing Huan glanced at her: "Do you think it's grocery shopping, come here as soon as you say it, pinch it as soon as you say it? Do you know why some people ascended to immortality in the first place, but now tens of thousands of years have passed and no one has been able to ascend?"
The curious baby Meng Xingliang shook his head to express that he didn't know. Qing Huan really wanted to beat her little head, but she endured it: "Because this is the rule. When the existence of things reaches a saturated state, the Dao of Heaven will naturally check and balance them. Similarly, the powerful generally do not show their strength." Lushui, I pinch my life at least for a few years."
On the distant Naihe Bridge, the little fat man complained silently: Master, when did you have the thing of "life"
Hearing that it was so serious, Meng Xingliang immediately didn't dare to be a good person, and changed his words in a polite manner: "Okay then, let's take him with us, master, don't forget about it, what fate is the master always talking about... I think The little guy has a lot of fate with us, if he still has an unbroken bond with his parents, he will naturally meet in the future, and if he doesn't, it's fate."
Qing Huan looked at the serious and serious expression of the little apprentice with admiration, and felt that it was not in vain. She was confident that unlike old man Lang, her apprentices must all be considerate and adore her! It's definitely not like a few seniors treat old man Lang like no big or small! "That's right, then tonight, you can sleep with the little junior brother."
Meng Xingliang: "... huh?"
"Ah what, don't take this little thing away, I don't want him on my bed." As she said that, Qing Huan had already stuffed the little guy into Meng Xingliang's arms, and Meng Xingliang hugged her like crying without tears. The young junior brother, who was freshly baked in the oven and still warm, left the master's room.
She was staring at the little guy who was still spitting bubbles in his sleep. This little guy... sleeps so soundly, but who knows whose bed he is sleeping in! Meng Xingliang felt very stuffy.
Fortunately, such days only lasted for three days, and they were about to continue on their way. Qing Huan let Meng Xingliang let her go and asked her to name the little boy. Meng Xingliang hesitated for three days before taking Meng as his surname, star as the middle character, and fire as the end, calling him Meng Xingyan.
Qing Huan smiled, and pinched the cheeks of the arrogant little boy who was still angry and refused to bow his head, and said to him: "When you have a younger brother or younger sister, I will let you name him."
Okay, Meng Xingliang finally understands. Master Ganqing is laziness on the one hand, and shirking responsibility on the other. Their senior sister and brother are named Yilong, but I don’t know why the master suddenly turned around and went the opposite way. Originally, they were He planned to go east all the way to the capital, because the master said there might be another apprentice there. Did you hear that, the old master said "a disciple", Meng Xingliang smiled.
After being together for about half a month, the tsundere boy Meng Xingyan finally let go of his defenses. In fact, he likes the name Meng Xingyan very much. It sounds better than being called a stinky egg, right? Anyway, he has been a beggar ever since he could remember. No matter why the woman who insisted on calling her master accepted a beggar as her apprentice, Meng Xingyan knew that he was a little beggar who didn't have enough food or clothing to keep him warm. Bullying, occasionally the food obtained by selling face is taken away by others, and wearing broken straw sandals with open toes in winter... Compared with the present, those days are really a world of heaven and earth.
Although it is not a luxurious life, but it is well-fed and warmly dressed, and the craftsmanship of the master and the senior sister are excellent, and what to cook is so delicious that Meng Xingyan swallows his tongue. They cared about him very much. Even the master, who always seemed to be casual, was very gentle to himself. Meng Xingyan touched the new clothes made by his master, his little face blushed slightly, and he snickered twice, but when Meng Xingliang asked him if he was full, he snorted arrogantly, expressing that he would not eat!
In fact, although he is full, he can still stuff some more, but the young master doesn't like to eat vegetables—even if they are roasted.
Master dotes on him, it doesn't matter if he eats or not, anyway, she can take good care of this little body, but according to Master's order, the eldest sister stuffed a carrot into his mouth every minute, using a cruel and terrifying expression. His eyes forced him to swallow. Meng Xingyan immediately showed soft and cute eyes, but unfortunately Meng Xingliang didn't like this, he went to see his master again, and the master had already gone to sleep on the tree.
In the end, he ate the vegetables and ate two radishes crying, which made Meng Xingyan want to cry.
Then it was bed time. Master said that he was only nine years old, and it was a good time to lay the foundation, so he must not relax. Not being able to relax is actually asking him to keep vigil! For a high-sounding reason, Meng Xingyan squatted under the tree while belching a radish. From time to time, he saw the senior sister lying on the tree with envy and hatred, and he was looking forward to it. When will he be as powerful as the senior sister? When they passed a small town that day, a villain was grabbing a little girl's candied haws. The senior sister drew a strange symbol in the sky, and the villain rolled around on the ground and screamed. If I can learn it myself, I won't be bullied in the future!
Such days are so happy. A person who has never been loved by others suddenly has two relatives who care for him. Meng Xingyan is afraid that when he wakes up, he will find that this is not true. He just made it in the cold winter. It was a beautiful dream, and when he woke up, he froze to death.
After wandering like this for another three days, I arrived at Weizhou, a city known as a fairyland on earth. Weizhou is rich in beauties, and almost all the beautiful women in the harems of the emperors of the past dynasties are from Weizhou. It has beautiful mountains and rivers, and has hundreds of years of cultural heritage. It is said that there are former survivors living here in seclusion. Of course, this is just a legend.
Both Meng Xingliang and Meng Xingyan didn't know why they came to Weizhou. They made a detour. They could have gone directly to the capital, but now they want to go to Weizhou. What's the matter
But when they saw the notice posted by the government, they understood that Master was here to earn money!
It is said that there is a big trouble in Weizhou, no one knows what it is, only know that every other night, there will be a massacre. What's even more frightening is that the death conditions of these people were all horrific, their faces were pale, without the slightest trace of blood, and some even had only a piece of skin left! It seems that the flesh and blood were eaten up in an instant!
For this reason, the government posted a notice offering huge rewards for capable people and strangers, and many capable people came, even ascetics, but unfortunately all of them never returned. No, Weizhou is crowded with people now, and almost all the famous sects have come! The ascetics have crowded Weizhou to the brim, are they all here to make money
No, they came because they heard a very secret news. It is said that the village of the survivors of the former dynasty who lived in Weizhou was discovered. There was no one in the village, only a huge mausoleum. Master Zhizhou ordered people to go in and investigate, and it was fine at first, and brought out a lot of gold and silver treasures, but after more and more people went there, no one could come back alive! No, the survivor village has become a well-known ghost village!
But for ascetics, this is not terrible. Who has never seen a ghost, and they can still communicate with ghosts! People with higher abilities are not afraid of such things at all. As the saying goes, people are three times afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven times afraid of people! What are they afraid of? Not to mention that there are mouth-watering things in the Remnant Village!
It is said that in the village, there is a treasure from the previous dynasty, which was left by the emperor of the previous dynasty, and it is of extraordinary help to the cultivation of Taoism!
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is greed. Rather than talking about gossip, it is better to say that everyone knows, and they have gathered here one after another. Everyone knows that there must be a problem here, okay? It's just that I don't know what kind of treasure there is, so many ascetics flock to it.
Meng Xingyan, who had heard the news as soon as he entered the city, was very excited. He is a child who likes to take risks. When he heard that there was a baby, his eyes lit up immediately after being poor and scared! "Master, are we going to hunt for treasure?!"
As soon as the words were finished, Meng Xingliang slapped him loudly: "You are just a little bit like others to hunt for treasure, and you can't even keep your horses steady. What kind of treasure are you looking for?"
Meng Xingyan was knocked on the head by the elder sister, muttered deeply, and continued to crouch obediently. Qing Huan lay on the roof with Erlang's legs crossed, her hands behind her head, and she looked at the sky leisurely: "There are so many people, one mouthful of spit from each will drown you!"
"Aren't you looking for treasure?" Meng Xingyan felt very disappointed. "Everyone says that baby can make people ascend to immortality! Don't master and senior sister want to ascend?" After these days, Meng Xingyan can see clearly that his master and senior sister are obviously not ordinary people, they should be the legendary cultivators who? It's just that he doesn't understand that mortals worship immortal cultivators, but why the master and senior sister who are immortal cultivators have no interest in the treasure that may make them soar
Anyway, if it was him, he would have been so excited.
Hearing this, Meng Xingliang glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to ascend to immortality?"
After the question, Meng Xingliang felt very ironic. Ordinary people crazily envied immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators madly wanted to ascend to become a member of the immortal world, but the real immortal world was already in chaos. Is this life? If you can't get what you want, if you get it, you don't want it anymore.
