There was a knock on the door, Qi Yin walked over to open it, and a group of people crowded into the threshold. Qi Yin was taken aback, all the brothers and sisters came.

The first girl in a lotus-colored bamboo shirt and skirt held a small black lacquer tray with two plates of vegetables and two bowls of noodle soup in it. The girl put the tray on the table of the Eight Immortals, turned around and smiled and said, "My name is Sang Ruo, and it's your senior sister. Little junior brother, you must not have time to eat dinner. Uncle Jie is not here, so let's eat what we made first. Just return the bowls and chopsticks to us in the morning."

Qi Yin thanked Fu Lan repeatedly, and called Fu Lan to come over to say hello. Everyone greeted each other with respect. Only then did Qi Yin know that the eight disciples of Ye Qingming, the precept elder, were all men, and they all started with the word "flow". Pill elder Meng Qing and his six disciples, all daughters, took the word "Sang" as their number.

There were only twenty-one fat cats brought by Fulan from the top to bottom of the Wild Mountain Pheasant Pie. In addition, there are only twenty-six of the Dao Boys who are serving the Sect Master.

A little girl with a head horn forced her way in. She looked like she was eight or nine years old. She clapped her hands and smiled and said, "That's great, I'm not the last one to get started. I'm your senior sister Sangya, what do you understand? Feel free to ask me." Seeing the black cat, his eyes lit up, "There is still a cat! Can I pet it?"

Qi Yin just wanted to say be careful that it will scratch people, but turned his head to see that the fat cat was already lying in Sang Ruo's arms and squinting, his face full of drunken life and dreams, and he had a tendency to rub against other people's chests.

Qi Yin: "..."

"You guys are amazing," Sang Ruo said, scratching the black cat's chin. "Uncle Master has not accepted apprentices for a long time. Senior Brother Yunzhi has always been his only disciple. Unexpectedly, as soon as you came, he came under Master Uncle's door."

Qi Yin thought with a sullen face, probably because they were more straightforward, and they paid a tael of silver as soon as they came up.

"I heard that you are Uncle Qi's son, we robbed you, this time Wufang Mountain is going to be pissed. By the way, our mountain is relatively poor, don't mind, if your clothes are damaged, look for me and Sangya. It’s enough to mend. You are just getting started, so it’s cheaper to charge you, and it only takes two copper plates to sew one piece.” Sang Ruo said with a smile.

Qi Yin smiled dryly and said, "Senior Sister Xie is concerned, but I can sew clothes myself, so I won't bother you."

Sang Ruo let out an "oh" in disappointment.

A group of senior brothers came to ask Qi Yin about his hometown. They heard that Qi Yin was from the south of the Yangtze River, and a man from Cixi was very moved, and they talked to him for a long time. After chatting for a long time, Qi Yin realized that he hadn't heard Fu Lan's voice. This kid is not good at words. No one pays attention to him. He is like a girl. say. After looking for it for a long time, no one was seen. After a closer look, this fellow and the black cat were surrounded by women, and the little girl named Sang Ya sat directly on his lap, holding his arm and talking.

"What did you do in the past? What do you do for a living at home?" a senior sister asked.

Fu Lan shook her head, "No home, wandering around with cats."

There were expressions of pity on everyone's faces, Sang Ruo sighed and said: "Without a mother and father, no wonder you have gone astray and entered the demon path. Fortunately, Feng Huanshan is here, don't worry, we will take you on the right path in the future. Junior Brother Lan, In the future, you can just send us your clothes, shoes and socks, and we will help you to sew them up without any money."

Entering the door together, why is the treatment gap so big? Qi Yin turned back to look at Liang Zhu, his shadow was reflected in the black paint, his deep and tough eyebrows, but his face was a little darker, he asked himself if he looked good, how could he not be as popular with women as Fu Lan? No longer looking at Fu Lan, he walked to the threshold and sat down. Several senior brothers either stood or sat beside him, giggling and said, "Women, they like little white faces, not to mention that little white faces bring a cat. Don't worry, senior Teach you how to chase female dolls."

A man named "Liu Bai" rubbed against him, with fair skin, a pair of rosy eyes, and a tear mole under his right eye. He put his elbows on Qi Yin's shoulders, and said with a beaming expression, "You can leave it alone. There are two things that must be learned. This one is the swordsmanship."

"Oh, why?" Qi Yin lacked interest, and drooped his eyelids to agree with him.

"Learn how to master the sword, so you can take a girl for a ride." Liu Bai shook his eyebrows, "If you can get a good sword that is one of a kind in a thousand miles, and then you can learn how to master the sword for thousands of miles a day without breathing, Miss He Chou won't come to you. Climb up the sword?"

"What about the second one?"

Liu Bai stretched out his hand, took out a cinnabar pen and a piece of yellow talisman paper from nowhere, and drew on the paper with a swipe, "Have you bought the book "The Complete Book of Talismans for Fools"? A talisman, look!" A talisman was swung away, and the two fingers slammed the talisman, and the cinnabar ink flashed with golden light, and immediately turned into a bunch of red wild cuckoos. Liubai blinked at him, "Did you see? Last time I sent a bouquet of flowers to my daughter, Xiaohui, at the herbal medicine shop at the foot of the mountain, and people were instantly fascinated by me."

"I've learned it," a senior brother smiled. "Master Yunzhi was the first to learn how to use swordsmanship and transforming talismans. Except for that girl, Sangya, he held the hands of all the other seniors."

Qi Yin's heart was ashes, the upper beam of this pheasant mountain was not straight and the lower beam was crooked, and it was not serious from beginning to end.

Anyway, he comforted himself, he was here to mess around anyway, if he could really learn some fancy little fairy tricks to trick a little daughter-in-law into going home, it would not be a waste of time.

"By the way, where does the eldest brother live?" Qi Yin asked, "He led us here before, and we disappeared."

"Eldest brother doesn't live with us, he lives with the head master." Liu Bai said, "He always has nightmares at night, and the master is worried that he will be in a dream, so he often tries to exorcise the nightmares for him."

"Nightmare?" Qi Yin wondered, could it be that she had kidnapped a woman from a good family somewhere, and felt ashamed that she was afraid that she would go into a dream and seek debts

"That's right," a group of senior sisters came over, Sang Ya hugged the black cat, jumped to the door and sat down, saying, "Senior brother is so pitiful, when he was seven years old, he saw his father and mother being swallowed by the snake demon with his own eyes. In the stomach, the snake demon also raised the senior brother as a ration, and took a rope around his neck to lead him away. Later, he happened to be seen by the master and uncle, and he was saved."

Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, Yun Zhi that kid's cynical smile appeared before him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who had suffered so much.

"After that, the senior brother has always had nightmares. We were also called by the uncle to take turns in the dream to drive away the nightmare. The uncle said that seeing us beat the snake demon in the dream to the ground, the senior brother will not be afraid."

Qi Yin suddenly had a guess in his heart, and Na Na asked, "How about you, why did you think of coming here to cultivate?"

"We are all orphans," Liu Bai said, "I was lost by my parents when I was a baby because of my heart disease. When Master went down the mountain to pick up junk and sell it for money, he found me in a ragged basket and took me Back up the mountain."

"Because Sangya and I are daughters, my mother doesn't want us," Sang Ruo stroked Sangya's hair, "Master spent a lot of money to buy us back, and we followed Master to cultivate."

An unknown feeling surged in Qi Yin's heart, the sunset had already gone down the mountain, the last ray of light had faded away, the night slowly descended, and the splendid Milky Way flowed silently on the dome. Everyone sat under the threshold and looked at the night sky.

There is a taste of home. Qi Yin thought.

"Wait," Qi Yin suddenly realized something, "Why do you and I have to spend money to get started?"

"Have you shown your wealth in front of Senior Brother?" Sang Ruo covered her mouth and smiled, "Eldest Senior Brother is very thief, he must not know when he will discuss with Uncle Master, and divide your money between three and seven. Fix it."

Qi Yin: "..." You really can't expect too much from them.

There is still class tomorrow morning, and everyone went back to the house to sleep. Sangya gave them a few lamp talismans, and Qi Yin stuck the talismans on the wall, and the room immediately lit up with a bright yellow. Fu Lan is more pure than a monk. He doesn't eat or drink water. He has no feces or farts. Hei Mao and Qi Yin have eaten all the vegetables and noodles.

Full of wine and food, Qi Yin wanted to go out, opened the door and saw the trees outside, thinking of Yunzhi's warning before, and couldn't help but feel terrified. There shouldn't be nine-headed monsters in the mountain, right? Naihe was in a hurry to urinate, so Qi Yin pulled Fu Lan to accompany him, and the two of them walked down the dirt road with their hands in their hands.

In front is the fence of the brothers and sisters, one tall and one short are pushing back and forth in the middle of the road.

The man said, "I'll take you back to your house, and I'll come back when you come back."

The woman twisted for a while and said, "No, this time I'll take you off, you go first."

The man said again: "No, I have to send you."

The woman said coquettishly, "Don't..."

The two of them were stuck in the middle of the road. The dirt road was too narrow for Qi Yin and Fu Lan to pass by, so they had to wait in the distance. After a long night of wind blowing, the two finally moved. The man sent the woman back to the house, and wrapped his sleeves back to the tile-roofed house opposite.

Qi Yin: "..."

His grandfather's, these two idiots lived opposite the door, why did they linger for so long just now

After walking around the village, I couldn't find the thatched hut. It seems that all the people who practice Taoism are fasting, and there is no need for that. Qi Yin had no choice but to drag Fu Lan into the woods. Before he could enter, Fu Lan pressed his shoulders and said, "There are a lot of people inside."

"Ah? Where is anyone?"

Qi Yin looked at the dark forest, the shadows of the trees were dark, like overlapping human figures.

Qi Yin suddenly realized that the "people" that Fu Lan said were not necessarily the real "people". After a shiver, he quickly took a few steps back and was next to Fu Lan.
