Ever since Shu Wuxi came to his side, Lu Xiaochan had a full belly after every meal, and he never fell or caught a cold.
"He said he wanted to invite me to taste a variety of flavors. He wanted to know which flavor I like best." Shu Wuxi said slowly.
"Eh? Why? You could just tell him directly!"
“I grew up with very little, only one kind of food, so I don’t know what other things taste like.”
"What?"
Lu Xiaochan thought to herself, where did you grow up? How come you don’t understand the taste
"I tried every flavor and told him that they were all sweet and I liked them all. He got angry and said I was just brushing him off and ignored me all day."
Lu Xiaochan thought about it and felt that maybe Shu Wuxi had never tasted anything before, so he mixed up the flavors.
"Brother Wuxi, do you know what sweetness is?"
"I don't know. He fed me a candy that day and said to me, 'This feeling of feeling happy in your heart and wanting to hold it in your mouth forever is sweetness.'"
"Of course sugar is sweet." Lu Xiaochan scratched his ear, wondering what went wrong.
"But whenever he feeds me something, I feel happy and want to keep it in my mouth. Aren't they all sweet? Why is he angry with me?"
Shu Wuxi's voice carried a hint of nostalgia, a hint of reluctance, and a long-standing puzzle.
But Lu Xiaochan's eyes were burning.
"Have you told him? Tell him, 'Because you feed me, everything I eat tastes sweet.'"
"I didn't say anything. Because no matter what I said, he kept shouting that he wanted to go home."
Lu Xiaochan hugged her knees tightly and said with a depressed look, "Then when you see him next time, you must tell him this. He won't be angry with you, but will only regret not paying attention to you at that time."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." Lu Xiaochan deliberately turned his face away, fearing that Shu Wuxi's eyes would be about to drop sesame oil when he saw him, so he wiped it vigorously with his sleeve and asked, "Is this the only thing you don't understand? Are there any others?"
"Also, I played hide-and-seek with him..."
"Wait, you can play hide-and-seek with others? The person you are waiting for is a child!"
"He has six hundred years of cultivation."
"Oh... that's an old man... I heard people say that old people are the same as children, they need to be coaxed."
"But I can't coax people."
Lu Xiaochan twisted her mouth, wondering what was going on.
You still can't coax people? How good are you at coaxing me!
"Why don't you know how to coax people?"
"Every time I found him, he was angry."
"I guess it's the time it takes you to find him. Don't you always let him hide for a long time, your legs become numb, and you still haven't found him?" Lu Xiaochan touched his chin and said with experience.
"No, every time he hid, I found him immediately."
Lu Xiaochan didn't understand: "What? Found him right away? The place where you play hide-and-seek must be very small, right? Let me tell you, the important thing about the game of hide-and-seek is not the result, but the process. The process of finding him can't be too long, or it will make people feel uncomfortable. It can't be too short, or they won't be able to enjoy the fun of being found by you at all!"
Oh, brother, I want to shed tears of sympathy for you.
If you act like this, I guess the person you're waiting for will be so mad at you that he or she won't want to come back anymore... and will play hide-and-seek with you.
"His aura is different from others. I know where he is even when I close my eyes. And every time I want to see him again right away, but every time he gets upset when I find him. He probably doesn't want to see me..."
Shu Wuxi's voice remained the same, sounding calm and still.
Lu Xiaochan could even imagine the inexpressible joy Shu Wuxi felt in his heart when he found the other person at that moment.
Maybe there was no smile on his face, maybe his voice was also hard when he said "I found you", so the person he found must be so unwilling and impatient.
"Brother Wuxi, next time you play hide-and-seek with him, let him hide for a little longer. If he's still unhappy after you find him, tell him what's in your heart, 'Because I want to see you right away.'"
"So that's how it is." Shu Wuxi seemed to be in deep thought.
Lu Xiaochan thought he was very cute. It was unexpected that such a thing could make him troubled and confused.
"So, little cicada, is one thousand three hundred and seventy-two years long enough? I let him hide for so long and then I find him again. He won't be mad at me anymore, right?"
That "right?" was different from Shu Wuxi's usual cold tone. It was slightly rising, like some kind of expectation.
At this moment, Lu Xiaochan also had some expectations in his heart, because Shu Wuxi said that they were old friends. He felt that he was the one that Shu Wuxi mentioned, otherwise why would Shu Wuxi treat him so well at this moment
But if she asked Shu Wuxi, "Am I the person you have been waiting for for a long time?" and he answered "No", Lu Xiaochan knew that she would cry.
"He will be very angry." said Lu Xiaochan.
"Why?"
"Because more than a thousand years is too long, you should find him immediately." Lu Xiaochan's lips curled up.
“But didn’t you just say…” Shu Wuxi’s speech was a little faster than usual. Although only a little bit, Lu Xiaochan knew that he was anxious.
Maybe he was anxious to explain himself, or maybe he was anxious for something else.
"Because if I were him, I would definitely want to see you right away." Lu Xiaochan tilted his head. He had never spoken so seriously in his life.
“So, I was wrong again.”
Lu Xiaochan stood up shakily, and the Immortal Locking Silk on her wrist was immediately tightened.
"Where are you going?" Shu Wuxi looked up, and Lu Xiaochan felt that his expression must be like that of a child.
"Nothing, I just wanted to move around. It's so tiring to sit like this all the time. Why don't you take me downstairs for a walk?"
"good."
There were many people on the street. Although there was a Fairy Locking Silk tied between the two of them, Shu Wuxi held it very tightly. However, every time Lu Xiaochan was about to bump into him, he would use his other hand to block Lu Xiaochan's shoulder.
Lu Xiaochan no longer cared about the reason why he didn't let her meet him, because apart from this slightly disappointing fact, Lu Xiaochan felt that Shu Wuxi was excellent in every way. Even his short words were an advantage - he was straightforward and effortless!
They passed by a small herbal tea stand. Lu Xiaochan thought about how he had been eating baked cakes and roasted meat recently, which easily made him get angry. He even had a small bean on his forehead. So he said to Shu Wuxi, "Brother Wuxi, can you buy me a bowl of herbal tea to cool me down?"
"Yeah." Shu Wuxi handed a few coins to the lady selling herbal tea.
The old lady scooped a bowl, Shu Wuxi took it and handed it to Lu Xiaochan.
Lu Xiaochan blew on it and took a small sip, but his face wrinkled with bitterness.
He suddenly thought of something and raised the bowl: "Why don't you try it. This is bitter, and it tastes very unpleasant from the tip of your tongue to your throat."
With such a distinct bitter taste, Shu Wushi should be able to separate it from the other flavors.
Feeling the other end of the bowl being pressed down slightly, Shu Wuxi probably took a small sip.
“Isn’t it sweet?”
"Sweet? There's really something wrong with your tongue." Lu Xiaochan took a sip, and it still tasted bitter.
"Because you fed it to me, I want to keep it in my mouth, so... shouldn't it be sweet?"
Lu Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You learn very quickly! I only taught you once, and you can already say it fluently! Since it's sweet and you still want to drink it, then drink a few more sips!"
He was joking, but Shu Wuxi really lowered his head and took another big sip.
Lu Xiaochan felt distressed for some reason and moved the medicine bowl aside: "I can't give you any more! You look like someone who doesn't get angry easily. The rest is mine!"
Lu Xiaochan gulped down the bowl of herbal tea.
After wiping his mouth, he suddenly realized that this herbal tea, which was so bitter that it made him want to cry, actually had a mellow sweet aftertaste.
After returning the tea bowl, Lu Xiaochan climbed onto Lu Shu's back.
Over the past ten days, they had developed a tacit understanding between them. As long as Lu Xiaochan raised his right leg, Shu Wuxi would bend down, grab the ankle of his left foot, lift it up, and easily push Lu Xiaochan up.
Just as Lu Xiaochan was about to lower his head to speak, Shu Wuxi turned the mask pinned on the back of his head to the front and gently pressed it on his face.
He was still unhappy that others saw Lu Xiaochan's face.
"Shu Wuxi..."
"Um?"
"Do you think I can grow taller?"
Lu Xiaochan thought to herself that she couldn’t possibly be unable to climb onto Lu Shu’s back for the rest of her life, and would always need someone to push him, right
"Will do."
Just two words, Lu Xiaochan was delighted when she heard them.
"But it's best if you're like this now." Shu Wuxi said again.
Lu Xiaochan shook the Suoxian Ling and laughed: "How can this be the best? You can't help me get on the horse forever, right?"
"Why not?"
Lu Xiaochan was stunned.
He never believed in lifetime promises.
The old beggar said he would take this burden with him for the rest of his life, but he died after eating a peanut
Ren Erniang also swore to the butcher Wang Dayong that she would never be fickle again in her life, but she still was promiscuous.
Life is too long and there are too many changes.
But if Shu Wuxi is the sage of the immortal sect, he will naturally be immortal if he attains enlightenment.
To Shu Wuxi, Lu Xiaochan's life was just a flash of lightning that passed in a flash.
"If it's my whole life, it should be fine."
When he becomes a wrinkled old man, Shu Wuxi will probably still look like he does now.
"I'm talking about my whole life."
Shu Wuxi's voice was not loud, but Lu Xiaochan heard it clearly.
Through the mask of the Monkey King, Lu Xiaochan knew that her tears were falling, some of them stuck to the mask, and some slid to her chin.
Lu Xiaochan knew that Shu Wuxi was different from the old beggar, and even more different from the likes of Ren Erniang.
The lifetime he talked about is a real lifetime.
Maybe he saved the world, which is why Shu Wuxi is always at his beck and call.
They left the town and walked into a beautiful area with mountains and rivers.
Lu Xiaochan's ears were filled with the chirping of insects and the sound of birds, and even the air she inhaled into her lungs was fresh and had a hint of elegance.
Gradually, he smelled the scent of Chinese medicine.
However, the smell of this Chinese medicine was different from the one he smelled when passing by a herbal medicine shop. It was not so strong that it would immediately remind people of the pain of illness. Instead, it was wispy and clear, rising up like smoke and turning into clear snow that fell on Lu Xiaochan's nose.
He couldn't help but pull on Suo Xian Ling: "Shu Wuxi! Are we... are we almost at Tailing Pavilion?"
"Um."
Shu Wuxi's response made Lu Xiaochan nervous for no reason.
That's Tai Ling Pavilion! The authentic medical school in the world, the immortal sect of the Medical Saint Li Chejun!
Lu Xiaochan imagined the pavilions and towers looming in the fairyland, and the endless stream of medical immortals and medicine practitioners... Her heart beat faster.
Rumor has it that the Pavilion Master of Tailing Pavilion, Kunwu, is Li Che's senior brother. He has three thousand years of medical experience and has not only experienced the battle in the Unintentional Realm, but also all the four sword sects have to bow their heads and call him "Immortal Saint" when they see him.
"I... I thought... Tailing Pavilion would be on the top of Lingchuan, which is as high as Wuyijingtian! I didn't expect it to be just in an ordinary mountain like this!"
Lu Xiaochan had already heard the sound of the waterwheel, the squeaking sound, and the sound of water dripping.
With her ear tilted to the side, Lu Xiaochan heard every drop of water passing through heavy dust and falling on the leaves. The leaves were under pressure and pressed down, then suddenly lifted up. The drop of water flowed along the veins of the leaves into the half-broken bamboo tube.
It goes on and on, as if it will never stop.
"This mountain is called 'Baoyue Mountain'. On one side of the mountain is the Falling Star Lake. On the other side is the Sun-Returning Forest. We came in from the Sun-Returning Forest."
"This place is so easy to find, do people often come here to seek medical treatment?"
Lu Xiaochan thought to herself, don’t treat your eyes yourself, you’ll have to wait in line for a lifetime!
"No. There are spirit beasts called ray inhabiting the Falling Star Lake, and ordinary people cannot cross it. There is also a Xuanmen Dunjia technique in the Sun Forest. If you don't have the ability to 'borrow momentum' and cannot comprehend the mystery, you will be trapped in the forest forever."
"We have passed through the Sun-Returning Forest, which means..."
"That is to say, we have arrived."
Shu Wuxi was not at all excited about meeting Kunwu, and he didn't even show any great respect for such a great cultivator. This meant that either Shu Wuxi's cultivation was longer than Kunwu's, who had been cultivating for three thousand years, or they were very familiar with each other and Shu Wuxi didn't need to be too polite to Kunwu.
Lu Xiaochan stretched his neck and sniffed. In addition to the spiritual scent of the elixir, he also smelled a familiar smell of fireworks.
Looks like fried peanuts
Spicy chicken with red oil
And a pot of old wine
This combination... why does it look so familiar
As soon as Shu Wuxi raised his hand, Lu Shu stopped and lay down on the ground, very well-behaved.
Lu Xiaochan sniffed and smelled the scent of thatch and soapberry.
There is definitely no magnificent pavilions or towers here. If I’m not mistaken, it’s just an ordinary thatched hut!
No, no, no, he couldn't see it, he could only smell it. Maybe this thatched hut was very big
However, he could already hear the clucking of the old hen and the chirping of her chirping chicks.
Shu Wuxi flicked his fingertips, and a stream of spiritual energy hit the hexagonal wind chime on the corner of the thatched hut. The sound of the chime was not as crisp as Lu Xiaochan had imagined, but rather ethereal and steady. After it rang for a while, the door of the thatched hut creaked open.
A lazy voice came from inside.
"An old friend is here. Please come in! Please come in! Let's try the spicy chicken I just made!"
Lu Xiaochan froze on Lu Shu's back, completely forgetting about what was going on.
Instead, Shu Wuxi came to Lu Xiaochan's side, grabbed his waist, and carried him down without any effort.
Shu Wuxi let go of Lu Xiaochan, pulled Suoxian Ling, and stepped into the door of the thatched hut.
As Shu Wuxi stepped in, as soon as Lu Xiaochan's feet touched the ground, he could feel that there was a different world inside, ethereal and elegant.
The thatched hut turned out to be an endless stack of void.
There are layers of medicine cabinets on the four walls, rising from the ground and towering into the sky. You can't see the end if you look up.
These medicine cabinets are entwined and clinging to by some kind of vines, and they are the caretakers of the elixirs.
Countless fairy children and medical practitioners stepped on these vines. They continued to grow and spread, carrying these medical practitioners to the medicine pavilion they wanted to go to.
From the moment Shu Wuxi walked in, these medical practitioners stopped what they were doing, turned around, and bowed in the direction of Shu Wuxi.
Lu Xiaochan could feel this kind of humility even if she couldn't see it.
This space seems to extend endlessly, yet can suddenly become only an inch in size.
Because Lu Xiaochan heard everyone around him shouting in unison: "Master."
Kunwu's footsteps started from a distance, but when he landed, he was already in front of them.
Kunwu looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a smart and handsome appearance, eyebrows as black as ink, and an immortal aura all over his body like a waterfall. He was dressed in a long green robe, as if he had possessed all the spiritual power of the world. Just by getting close to him, Lu Xiaochan felt her body and mind refreshed.
"Oh! It's a sword..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, as if he had seen something extremely surprising, and he was speechless for a long time.
But Lu Xiaochan tilted her head. The voice of this person... why... why is it so similar to...
"Old beggar?"
Didn't he choke to death on peanuts
Kunwu opened his eyes wide, and his initial surprise turned into anger. He raised his hand, and a huge curse fell from the top of his head. In an instant, the spiritual power surged like a torrent, and the entire Ninghe space twisted into a whirlpool. Even the medicine cabinets on all sides made vibrating and rattling sounds.
Thousands of medicine cabinets rang together, like thousands of horses galloping, floating and sinking, flying into my dreams.
The author has something to say: Lu Xiaochan: Brother Wuxi, what is the sweetest thing you have ever eaten
Shu Wuxi: You.
Lu Xiaochan: It’s over! Did you raise me fat and white just to eat me
Kunwu: Alas... Do you think Shu Wuxi is a professional pig farmer...
If you don't leave a comment, you will lose money when you go to the bathroom. Hum - a curse from the cicada. Hehe
