Is Master happy?

Chapter 36

Si Ming strolled over and stood with her, heaving a sigh, seemed quite melancholy.

Xi Ya thought that he was Yao Zhou's fairy friend, so he took a step back, put his hands together and said politely: "Immortal Si Ming."

Si Ming lowered his head to look at her, but with a smile, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the clouds in the distance, and asked: "Little girl, do you think this scenery is beautiful?"

Xiya didn't know what he meant, followed his pointing, nodded, "Go back to Xianjun, it's very beautiful."

"It's beautiful," Si Ming looked up into the distance, full of emotion, "It's true that it's not even half as high as the upper realm of Yuntian. If Yaozhou Xianjun is willing to go back to the heaven, you can see for yourself the Qingyu Mountain Residence, the so-called Zhongling is handsome. , Yuyu Qionglou, that’s it.”

It turned out that he was looking for someone to be a lobbyist, Xi Ya suddenly understood in his heart, he couldn't refuse decisively, so he lowered his head and said indifferently: "These are all things outside the body, even if Xi Ya doesn't look at it, it will make sense. If the fairy is elegant, Let's take a closer look at this mortal scene, maybe it will be very interesting." After saying that, she bowed and turned her head to leave.

Si Ming only glanced at her and sighed softly, "Master and apprentice are both stubborn."

Yaozhou chatted happily with the Taizu master in Beiqiu, she was planning to stay here for eight months, so she asked Taizu master for convenience, let Xi Ya also practice with the disciples in the school, one reason is to She spends more time with children of the same age, which also avoids loneliness. Second, although Xiya has her guidance, she has never cultivated immortality, and she doesn't know much about it. Let Xiya learn more from the orthodox immortal sect. , is also of great benefit.

Master Taizu responded to every request, immediately called a disciple to come up, and told her to take Xiya to study and practice, and take care of her, it happened that the disciple was the little girl who led people to surround them at first.

The three of them stayed here, and Si Ming found another yard. He didn't live with the two masters and apprentices, but he still had the intention of admonishing the boats in his heart, so he always wandered here, coming and going again and again. He is very familiar with Xiya.

When the first snowfall fell on the northern hill, Xiya collected his energy and concentrated his mind, and formed a golden elixir.

That day was cloudy and foggy, and the sun was invisible when I looked up. Xi Ya was preparing to go out to study, but he didn't want to lift his foot out of the door. Suddenly, a warm feeling rose in his stomach, and he wrapped his whole body in an instant and went away, terrified. As soon as she jumped, she sat cross-legged into samadhi before she could call Yaozhou. Afterwards, she felt that her consciousness was unclear and chaotic. Zhou Youran stood in front of her, with deep eyes and a cold face, and only smiled when she saw her open her eyes, "Silly girl, you've woken up."

She has been in meditation for half a month, Yaozhou has been guarding the gate of the yard for half a month, and no one is allowed to move her, and has been with her for a moment, until today the golden core is formed.

After entering Jindan, she no longer had to study with the other monks in Beiqiu, but worshiped under an elder and became a registered disciple.

One day, when the weather was fine and the weather was fine, Xiya didn't have morning class, so he took leave of absence with Yaozhou, and went up the mountain with the girl named Jiujiu.

Yaozhou has been very busy in recent days. Since she moved into Beiqiu, elders in the mountain often came to her in the name of discussing Taoism. The conversation lasted for half a day. Rarely, Xi Ya felt a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't push her back because of people's slight words, so he could only watch helplessly at the master who was occupied by someone for a long time, and finally followed him reluctantly. The new little fellow Taoist went up the mountain.

Her reluctance was too obvious, fellow Taoist Jiujiu peeked at her a few times, but finally felt helpless, and said: "Why is this, you have only been away from Yaozhou Xianjun for less than half a moment, are you so reluctant? "

Xi Ya glanced at her, but didn't want to say a word to her.

This morning, Master could have a quiet breakfast with me, but early in the morning, Jiujiu came to visit Yaozhou with the uninvited guest, and drove her out on the grounds that Bigu didn't have to eat .

Jiujiu was nagging about going up the mountain, but she was so disturbed that she had no choice but to agree, so she was really not in a good mood at the moment, she just sighed softly, and suddenly she missed the quiet days in Kongzhou Mountain where no one bothered her.

Jiujiu pursed her lips, took a few sneaky glances at her, and then said to herself: "Perhaps people with high talents are so taciturn, and Senior Brother Bai is also like this. He really looks like you." carved out of it."

Xiya didn't want to talk to her at first, but when he heard the words, he was a bit puzzled, so he asked her: "Jiujiu, who is this Senior Brother Bai...?" She has been in Beiqiu for so long, how come she has never heard of Senior Brother Bai?

"It's Senior Brother Bai Zhengli, our direct disciple of the head of Beiqiu." Jiujiu twirled his sword in his hand, smiling with fascination on his face, "Senior Brother Bai is only six years older than you and me, But he is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, none of our children of the same generation can beat him, and the old gentlemen in the school say that he is the best candidate for the next head."

She looked back at Xiya, only to see the girl with black hair and white skirt bowed her head lightly, some blue hair ran across her cheeks, bent up and hung on her shoulders, revealing her fair and slender neck, with a pensive look on her face, as if she hadn't Before he listened carefully to his own words, he pouted and raised his voice, "You have the same cold temper as Senior Brother Bai. If it wasn't for Master Taizu's orders, I wouldn't take you with me on weekdays."

Xiya looked up at her and saw how dissatisfied she was, so he smiled apologetically at her, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and trotted over. She had heard what Jiujiu said earlier, but accidentally thought of Yaozhou for a few months The previous sentence "My apprentice will definitely beat her", I don't know if my master heard Jiujiu brag about this senior brother Bai, would he brag for himself again?

It's just... I'm afraid Master is so busy right now that he doesn't even have time to think about himself.

She didn't know where Jiujiu was going to take her, but she felt that the farther she walked up the mountain, the more remote the road was, and the surroundings became more and more silent. She felt something was wrong, so she stopped and asked Jiujiu who was leading the way. : "Wait a minute, where are we going today?"

"Go up the mountain to collect herbs for my master." Jiujiu turned her head and smiled at her, and continued to go deep into the woods, "Going up for a few more hours, you will see a medicine garden, where we, Beiqiu, grow and collect herbs ourselves There is a small wooden building behind the medicine garden, called Baihua Pavilion, watched by an old couple. The monks in Beiqiu call them Beiqiu old man and Beiqiu old woman. We can't disturb them, or we will be punished .”

She chattered endlessly as soon as she opened her mouth, and Xiya listened patiently, knowing that she was going up to the mountain to collect herbs, she felt a lot of doubts in her heart, and went up the mountain with her.

After walking for a few minutes, I really saw an open field deep in the woods, in which a lot of shrubs and grasses grew densely, most of which were herbs that were not recognized by the stream, and occasionally there were a few trees, which she heard from her husband in school. However, it was vaguely recognizable.

Jiujiu stood still outside the medicine garden, took out a copper spoon and drew in the air, and then a wave-like barrier slowly opened, revealing an entrance the size of a person, and the two of them went in along there.

Jiujiu was busy picking herbs, Xi Ya didn't know what the herbs looked like, so she didn't help her, she just looked around the medicine garden a few times, the medicine garden was quite big, and the distance stretched straight to the horizon. Going, she couldn't see the border when she looked around.

Jiujiu picked a lot of herbs in the east and west, and Xi Ya saw her walking farther and farther away from the exit, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Jiujiu, don't run too far away." Far."

The voice hadn't finished yet, but seeing Jiujiu suddenly stood up and turned around, he waved his hands desperately to her, and then he didn't care about picking the herbs, ran over in three steps, pulled her tremblingly and said: "Don't make a sound, didn't I talk to you just now?" Did you say you can't disturb Beiqiu's elders?"

Xi Ya didn't understand, "This is the medicine garden of Xianmen, we just talked a few words, and we didn't enter their yard, so we won't disturb them."

"Oh, you don't know." Jiujiu covered her mouth and whispered: "This medicine garden is managed by the two elders of Beiqiu. They usually don't allow others to enter unless they have the token of the head. But in recent years The head of the sect is not in the sect, and the elders in the sect need the elixir but don't have a token, so they have to come sneakily, and then sneak away quickly, if you want to bluff like you, they would have been kicked out by them long ago!"

"Aren't we... stealing other people's medicinal herbs?" Xi Ya took her hand away, with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes.

"How can it be considered stealing? This is the medicine garden of Xianmen." Jiujiu straightened his back confidently and said: "It is their fault that they occupy the medicine garden and prevent others from entering."

"Excessive words." Xi Ya shook his head helplessly, pulled her hand down, really eager to return, and said, "Is it over? If it's over, let's go back quickly." Hurry up and save Master from the uninvited guest .

Jiujiu looked back at the basket, nodded her head lightly, and thought that there was one more kind that would be complete, so she turned around and went to the medicine garden to look for herbs.

Xi Ya stayed at the entrance and waited for a long time in annoyance. When she was about to be patient, something changed suddenly from behind her. She looked back and saw an old man slowly creeping in through the gap that was one person high. , was an old woman with gray hair, her heart trembled instantly, and suddenly she knew something was wrong.

The old woman saw her, but she didn't show any annoyance, she just glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Jiujiu again, and calmly said, "Whose family are you from?"

Xi Ya's scalp felt numb, and he didn't dare to offend her, so he quickly bowed to her respectfully, and said: "Old Mr. Hui, I am not a disciple of the sect, I came to Beiqiu as a guest with my teacher."

"Oh?" The old woman seemed to be very interested, looked at her kindly, and said, "Who is your master?"

Xi Ya stammered, but he didn't dare to tell her the truth, he just muttered in his mouth, bowed helplessly for a while, and said: "Mr., I know I was wrong."

"Where did you go wrong?" the old woman asked while standing with her hands behind her back.

"The mistake is that I did something I shouldn't do, and secretly picked the old man's medicinal herbs," Xi Ya bit his lips, sighing secretly in his heart, only felt that this was an innocent disaster, and he should really stay by Master's side today, not just casually Then Jiujiu came out and ran around, "Since Xiya has done something wrong, he is willing to bear the punishment. Please give me instructions, old man."

The old woman didn't answer, she just walked around and looked at her, and Xi Ya, who was waiting to see her, became more and more flustered, and then said slowly: "You are very humble, just...you are right, and you will be punished if you make a mistake." be punished."

She showed a kind smile on her face, suddenly arched her right hand, pinched Xi Ya's shoulder, and pressed hard, Xi Ya instantly lost strength, his legs and feet went limp and fell to the ground, looking up at her in astonishment.

The old woman smiled coldly, and said softly to the depths of the medicine garden: "I took her away, you go and tell this girl's master, if you still want her apprentice, you can get it yourself!"
