Su Henglin rushed back to Gu Yuwu, and met his younger brother Yang Shufeng in front of the mountain gate, who also rushed back. Both of them looked worried and a little anxious.
"Junior Brother Yang, did you also receive a letter from Master?"
Yang Shufeng nodded: "Yes, it's just that the master is so eager to let us come back, I don't know if something happened in the valley."
"We'll know when we go back to see the master as soon as possible."
The two entered the mountain gate and found that nothing seemed to be happening. The disciples in the valley were still doing their own things, and there was no sorrow on their faces. Some people laughed and congratulated them.
The two brothers and sisters are full of question marks. What congratulations
An older senior brother smiled at them and said, "You sister Liao, who was separated in the early years, has returned and is living in Elder Ji's bamboo grove."
Both Su Henglin and Yang Shufeng were taken aback. The two of them were Ji Wuyuan's direct disciples. They had also met Liao Tingyan back then. Although they didn't get along for a long time, they still remembered this poor junior sister.
The two looked at each other, and although there were doubts and amazement in their eyes, they were also a little happy.
"Master, I heard that Junior Sister Liao is back?" As the older second senior brother, Su Henglin was dressed in a grey-green gown that was extraordinarily dignified and gentle, and his face was more mature than Master Ji Wuyuan. He had just walked to the quiet garden of the bamboo forest with his junior and brother, when he saw the two people lying on the bamboo chairs.
One man and one woman, the woman is naturally Junior Sister Liao with a somewhat familiar face, while the man... !
Liao Tingyan lifted the blindfold when she heard the sound, and saw the two men plop down and kneel. Sima Jiao glanced at the two of them and rolled over lazily.
Liao Tingyan felt that the boss might have this kind of skill buff of 'people will kneel when they see him'.
"Two... brothers? Get up and talk." Liao Tingyan turned her head and shouted into the house, "Master, two more brothers are back."
"Come on." Ji Wuyuan came out of the room and saw the expressions of the two disciples. He was helpless and wanted to laugh, so he had to go forward and bring the two into the room and explain it first.
Daojun Ci Zang has been living in Guyuwu for two days, and he has no intention of doing anything. He usually just sits or lies there. The elders of his identity are all grateful to Dade. What a kind attitude, compared to the Gengchen Immortal Mansion that was destroyed by him, they were simply too lucky! They even wondered if Lord Ci Zang had put down his slaughtering knife and became a Buddha now.
Of Ji Wuyuan's seven disciples, the first five were all accepted in Qinggutian, Liao Tingyan was his sixth disciple, and the seventh and eighth disciples were accepted after arriving at Guyuwu.
Three disciples had come back before. They had also seen the true face of Daoist Cizang on the day of the disaster. They had just returned to Guyuwu and saw that Daoist Cizang, who had destroyed the sky and destroyed the earth, was lying at home sleeping, and they also Terrified. Therefore, Ji Wuyuan appeases his apprentice, and now he is really familiar with it.
He appeased the two disciples, and then asked them both: "Have you found the source of spirituality when you went out this time?"
Both disciples looked ashamed, "Neither of us have found it." The source of spirituality is rare, and they haven't been able to find any news after two years abroad.
Ji Wuyuan sighed secretly and said nothing more, only said: "If that's the case, don't force it, now you are tired from running all the way, you should go back to rest first. Also, since you are all back, I will be there for you tomorrow. Sister Liao is hosting a banquet, don't forget it."
Only then did the two think of Liao Tingyan. Liao Tingyan met the master and went out of the gate more than three months after entering the gate, and left Qinggutian. They didn't get along with each other very much. If they say that they have a relationship, it is true, but it is not deep. Now the two disciples are inevitably uneasy.
"Junior Sister Liao, she and... that one, exactly?"
Ji Wudu said, "Taoist Cizang claims to be the Taoist companion of Tu'er Tingyan."
The two were shocked again. Daoist, this status is not easy to decide, not to mention that with the identity and temperament of that master, he never thought that he would be willing to give the identity of a humanist.
"Don't worry too much." Ji Wuyuan adjusted his mood and taught his apprentices, "The two of you should take good care of Tingyan apprentice, be respectful to Daojun Cizang, and don't get close to him."
Seeing that the two brothers greeted her in shock and fear and left, Liao Tingyan poked Sima Jiao on the shoulder and whispered, "They are all afraid of you."
Sima Jiao: "Whoever knows my name is not afraid of me."
It seems that when she thought she was Shi Yan, so many people in the Demon Realm mentioned the Great Demon King of Winter City most of them were afraid, and now she is in the cultivation world, even more so.
It seems that she is the only one who is not afraid
When she was Shi Yan, she had heard so many terrifying deeds of the Great Demon King, but she was not very afraid. When she heard the name Sima Jiao, she felt not terrible. Maybe a subconscious feeling
She pulled her bamboo reclining chair closer to Sima Jiao and burrowed her head into his neck.
Sima Jiao closed her eyes and held her head with one hand, touched the back of her neck and pinched, "How is it, are you afraid?"
Liao Tingyan: "Chichichichichichi!"
He came out to ask his disciple if he wanted to have lunch, and then he silently backed away. Seeing that the disciple and the master were close to each other, whispering like a pair of affectionate little children, he was embarrassed and did not dare to lean over.
But he really admired this silent disciple. She dared to steal Daoist Cizang, hug Daoist Cizang's waist, and braided Daoist Cizang's hair. What courage!
Many disciples in Guyuwu have returned. They are no more than a few brothers who have met Daojun Ci Zang, and most of them do not know the identity of Sima Jiao. The elders who knew the inside story were obviously asking them to come over to see the apprentices that Elder Ji found. By the way, everyone had a feast to communicate with each other, but those disciples were privately told by their own masters and elders. They must show that they are neither humble nor arrogant, but also gentle and reliable. The demeanor, there must be the friendship of the same family, the rest did not say.
The Guyuwu banquet was originally very casual, but this time, considering Sima Jiao, the elders decided to hold it well, and to hold it in a forceful style, according to the previous specifications of Gengchen Immortal Mansion.
Still Ji Wuyuan felt that it was inappropriate, so he went to ask Liao Tingyan.
As soon as Liao Tingyan heard this, he said: "In this case, there is no need to toss. Let's eat barbecue together. I have a lot of barbecue grills here. I heard that the brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, each have their own vegetables and fruits that are good at planting and raising. You don't need to bring any greetings, just bring some vegetables that you have grown and raised yourself."
Liao Tingyan was also afraid of these classmates. A group of elders said that they were here to give gifts. Looking at those things, she almost thought that Sima was a notorious leader of robbers, so these people had to send the most precious things to destroy the wealth and save the disaster. It really makes me cry.
If you do not consider the identity of Daoist Cizang, Liao Tingyan said that this kind of banquet method for everyone to connect with each other's feelings is more in line with the situation of Gu Yuwu. Ji Wucai thought about it again and again, seeing Daoist Cizang's love for his disciples, and finally Decided to do as Liao Tingyan said.
So Guyuwu held the largest barbecue party. Not everyone had tried this kind of banquet. It was quite fresh, and many responded. Before the start, many people brought their own ingredients into the venue.
"Senior Sister Liao, which one of our green spirit melons do you think is better?" Two young monks with similar faces asked in unison.
Liao Tingyan held a piece of melon in one hand, and each took a bite, savoring it carefully, pondering.
These two juniors and seniors are from the plant cultivation department. The two grow the same kind of green melon. The two are twin brothers and have a good relationship, but they also like to grow the same kind of things and then compare each other. Gu Yuwu does not know. How many people have been forced to referee them.
The title of tonight's banquet was Liao Tingyan, so she naturally took up the matter.
"Senior Sister Liao, do you think the green spirit melon that we planted deserves to be called the green spirit melon!" The two junior brothers said in unison.
Liao Tingyan held up the slice of melon on the left, "This melon is sweet." Then raised the right side, "This melon is crispy."
"I think it's better to call them Qingling Melon and Qingling Crispy Melon."
The two junior brothers looked at each other, suddenly laughed, shouted thank you senior sister, then ran away, and then brought a lot of cut melons.
"Junior Sister Liao, and your Taoist companion, come and taste this little fairy yellow beef raised by my senior brother. Just now, my junior sister carefully marinated and grilled it with seasonings. It tastes very good." .
The portion is sufficient and the aroma is strong. The junior brother holding another portion of beef was so greedy, "Senior Sister Liao, try it. My senior brother would not easily kill his precious immortal cows to eat it. We can't eat these beef ourselves!"
As he said that, he pushed the share in his hand to Sima Jiao, "Senior brother eat!"
This move made the eyelids of the elders who pretended to be drinking keep twitching. These elders were worried that the disciples who did not know the inside story would offend Daojun Cizang, so they could only sit nearby and pay attention. Seeing this scene, they really wanted to go up and tear the little disciple apart and take the flesh away quickly. They knew that Cizang Daojun doesn't touch those foods, what can he do if he angers him!
At this time, Liao Tingyan pulled the share in front of Sima Jiao to himself, "He's also mine." Anyway, the big guy's boyfriend basically doesn't eat anything, he is the one who doesn't stain the red dust and fireworks, eats the wind. A little fairy who can live by drinking dew.
The elders let out a sigh of relief.
The little disciple wows and envies: "It's great, if you have a Taoist companion, you can eat two servings. I also want to have a Taoist companion, Senior Sister Liao, is it hard to find a Taoist companion?"
Liao Tingyan thought for a while, "It shouldn't be difficult to find." She didn't even look for it, and the Taoist companion appeared by herself, and it was simply a gift.
Sima Jiao laughed, the kind of unintelligible laughter, which caused Liao Tingyan to give him a strange look.
Younger disciple: "Really, why can't many senior brothers find a Taoist companion?"
There was a sound of coughing at the barbecue site, and the Shanshenggou senior brothers guarded the barbecue in groups, each handling the food they brought, and hearing that, there was a touch of sadness.
There are really very few female disciples in Guyuwu. The female disciples of the outside sects prefer those who use swords such as Jianxiu and Faxiu, but they do not like them. Moreover, many disciples in Guyuwu were so addicted to farming that they didn't have time to meet female disciples.
"Junior Sister Liao, come and try this Valley Bar. It was made by my sister and I. The spirit valley used for brewing is also different from the ordinary spirit valley outside. It is a mutant that I planted. This wine tastes very good. It is also good for the body." A gentle senior sister came to bring drinks.
After that, seven or eight teachers and sisters came, and they sent a lot of nectar and flower cream and other nourishing and healthy drinks. Another sister gave her a lot of hand-made pure natural herbal cosmetics, and shared with her a long-term experience of using it. .
Even an elder who peeked at them from time to time came over and gave a large jar of honey.
"This honey is very rare. It's pure Qi Ling nectar. At the beginning, my master asked for a few spoonfuls of it for a long time. It was because Junior Sister Liao was in pain, so the master was willing to do so." It was rare for the uncle to be generous, and he said a few words with a smile, but the elder stared at him, strangled his neck and swung it away.
The brothers and sisters next to the grill greeted them: "These vegetarian dishes also have a different flavor, do you want them?"
Liao Tingyan came back with a lot of vegetarian dishes, and a junior brother asked her, "Senior sister, this is the melon I planted. Would you like to try roasting it? It's delicious!"
Several senior brothers pushed him aside and smiled at Liao Tingyan, "This kid's taste is different from ours, don't listen to him."
"Nephew, come, try this roast duck. We have a lot of green ducks in the dock. The meat is fresh and tender. It's a top-quality duck. Even Jiangxiangji has come to us to supply it." Another uncle came. Send ducks.
When Liao Tingyan heard this, she said in surprise: "The sauce duck in Jiangxiangji was raised in the dock? I like to eat that sauce duck!"
Yes, in the Demon Domain Hexian City, the sauce duck that she frequents is imported from the Cultivation Realm and produced by Jiang Xiangji. In the Demon Domain where dark cuisine is rampant, she has been hanging on the sauce duck for so long. Unexpectedly, she had a deep relationship with Shimen, and suddenly she had a lot of goodwill and a sense of belonging to Gu Yuwu because of this sauce duck.
That was the sauce duck she had eaten for many years! It turned out to be raised by the uncle!
Sima Jiao felt the excitement in her heart, and his eyebrows moved slightly. Is her sense of belonging too easy
Liao Tingyan: Oh, there are so many delicious foods here. I like them very much.
When Uncle Shi heard her say this, he immediately laughed happily, "Since you like to eat, I'll grab more for you. Next time, if you want to eat, go to Yunhu in the back mountain to grab it yourself."
Speaking of this, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, "It's just a pity that the spiritual energy of Houshan has not been as strong as it used to be in recent years, and the taste of green duck is not as good as before."
Liao Tingyan stopped eating the duck, "Uncle, what's going on?"
This uncle didn't know Sima Jiao's identity, and after hearing the question from the new nephew, he explained: "It's normal for the spiritual energy to subside, maybe it is affected by the earth veins, or it may just be that the spiritual energy is exhausted, and I don't know how long Yunhu can maintain. Green ducks, if the aura decreases again, I will find other places for those ducks, but how can such a good place be so easy to find, I can't tell if those green ducks have been eaten for a few years, there will be no more. ."
The elders winked hard at him, wanting him to shut up and get out, but this uncle didn't even notice that his master and a group of elders were twitching in the corners of the eyes behind him. Say something.
"However, the dock master and the elders are all trying to find a way to find the spiritual source and bury it in the back mountain. After a long time, new spiritual veins may be born, which can delay the reduction of spiritual energy. It is a pity that this spiritual source is precious, how can there be any It’s so easy to get, and a group of disciples and elders took turns to go out to look for it, but they couldn’t find it.”
Liao Tingyan looked serious. This is not a small matter. If the sauce duck that has been eaten for many years is discontinued, it will feel uncomfortable to think about it.
Sima Jiao: "..."
He supported his forehead.
Uncle Shi waved his hand again, "But this matter has nothing to do with your juniors. Since you're back, eat and drink! Come on, eat more!"
That night, Liao Tingyan ate a lot, and the spiritual energy accumulated from the food also made her feel a little full.
Full of warm thoughts... Thinking about life.
Liao Tingyan grabbed Sima Jiao's hand, "Boss, what do you think, those delicious ducks... Can the spiritual energy of Houshan be saved?"
Sima Jiao: "Yes."
Liao Tingyan: "Really! But is it difficult to solve this?"
Sima Jiao asked her to take out the makeup box, opened a drawer, and took out a white bead necklace from it. In Liao Tingyan's puzzled eyes, he pointed to the necklace made of eighty-eight beads, "This is the source of spirituality that they haven't found for years."
"Two will be enough."
Liao Tingyan: "???"
She used to dislike this necklace for being ugly.
