The daughter of an elite disciple from a major sect, Shi Zelan possessed the best conditions for cultivation. However, she was plotted against and cursed, burdened with an inherently unlucky consti...
Chapter 160 What to Say
The winter sunshine still brings some warmth when it shines down.
When Master Qiyuan and his brothers and Xia Yu arrived, Master Decheng was telling stories in the yard, and the children brought their own small stools to listen to the stories.
Early in the morning, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng decided to take turns telling Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan some things in the future. Master Decheng had wanted to do this for a long time.
However, when they were talking in the yard, they were heard by a child passing by the gate. He immediately ran back and told the adults in the family about it.
The adults in the family think that the child is just playing around, so naturally they won't let him do anything stupid at other people's homes.
But the child thought that he had sharp ears and must have heard Master Decheng correctly, so he wanted to go to someone else's house to listen to stories.
The little guy took advantage of the adults at home not paying attention, held his own little stool, and knocked on the gate of Master Decheng's yard.
Master Decheng opened the door and looked down to see a particularly lovely child. When he heard the child say that he wanted to listen to a story, he felt that this was also a destined person.
Master Decheng did not think that he had to avoid telling many people about what he was saying, so he welcomed the child into the yard.
When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw the child coming in, they placed the pretend fire next to the child to prevent the child from getting cold by sitting for too long.
Master Decheng is not a good storyteller, but the child is very good at listening to stories. He even asked with a scared look on his face: "Uncle Cheng, is that man in black ugly?"
Master Decheng then elaborated on the appearance of the man in black. The child was puzzled after hearing this: "Uncle Cheng, he is good-looking, how can he be a bad guy?"
"Yeah, how can a man in black like Mr. Cheng be so good-looking?"
Shi Zelan walked over and opened the yard door. Three children holding small wooden boards outside the door walked in directly and sat down next to the child who came in first.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Shan, let's listen to storytelling."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were happy. Shi Xiaoliu went into the kitchen and brought out a kettle of hot water, while Shi Zelan went into the room and got teacups and tea leaves.
After taking a sip of tea, Master Decheng saw that the four children were waiting to hear a story. He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Bad guys don't distinguish between good-looking and ugly ones."
Master Decheng felt that he had to explain the matter carefully to the children, and he used the example of the man in black to illustrate.
"Because the men in black are good-looking, it's easy for them to deceive young wives..."
When Master Qicheng and Xia Yu arrived, the children stood up in disappointment: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Shan, we will come tomorrow."
After the children left, Master Decheng invited Master Qiyuan and his brothers and Xia Yu to sit down and talk.
"When did you come down the mountain?"
Master Qiyuan took a cup of tea and Master Qicheng smiled and said, “Yesterday.
We thought that Yu'er hasn't been with Xiaoliu and Lanjie'er for a long time, so we wanted him to live in your yard for a few days. ”
After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng exchanged glances, Master Decheng smiled and said, "Okay.
Xiaoliu, go and arrange a place for Yuer to live. ”
Shi Xiaoliu took Xia Yu to the backyard, and Master Qiyuan raised his eyes and said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, your tea is delicious..."
Shi Zelan had to get up and go to the kitchen to make tea. Master Decheng said, "The children are gone. You can tell me what happened in the Buddhist temple."
Master Qiyuan drank his tea wholeheartedly, while Master Qicheng sighed and told Xia Yu about what he encountered during his training.
After hearing this, Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng immediately said that they wanted to go to the guest house of the temple to take a look.
"Don't go for now. The old lady in the left courtyard may not live long. If we go, we will get into trouble."
Qi Yuan hurriedly tried to stop Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng from taking action. Master Qicheng had to explain again based on what was happening in the left courtyard.
After hearing this, Master Decheng frowned and said to Master Qicheng, "You said you felt the aura of the old woman's merits?"
Master Qicheng nodded silently, and Master Shanzheng looked at him: "Qicheng, I heard what you said, and I feel that there is something wrong here."
Qi Yuan Zhenren glanced at Qi Cheng Zhenren, and said to Shan Zheng Zhenren: "I took a look too, and that old woman does have some of the merits of a virtuous person, but not much, at most she can protect one child or grandchild."
"What kind of martial arts did your Xia Yu practice? How did he get into trouble like that?"
Qi Yuan Zhenren passed the message to De Cheng Zhenren and Shan Zheng Zhenren. After listening, they looked at Qi Yuan Zhenren and sighed: "Yu Er's spiritual roots are very good. This method is indeed twice the result with half the effort for his cultivation."
A gleam of pride flashed across Qi Yuan Zhenren's eyes, and he smiled and said, "My brothers and I have been practicing this kind of technique since we were young. Back then, my grandfather asked the two Zhenjuns from Yaoge and Zizai Peak for their opinions, and they both said that they each had their own destiny."
Master Decheng nodded in agreement: "People from our Medicine Pavilion are indeed not suitable for practicing the techniques of your Xia family."
Shanzheng Zhenren also nodded and said: "We, the people of Zizai Peak, naturally want to be free and unrestrained, and we can't practice the kind of skills you have."
Qi Yuan Zhenren looked at them and shook his head: "You guys are just a little lazy. Practicing is naturally hard."
Shi Zelan came out with a kettle. Qi Yuan Zhenren stopped talking. Qi Cheng Zhenren smiled and said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, do you have a talisman to ward off evil spirits?"
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Yes. My master just gave me some talismans to ward off evil spirits yesterday."
Qi Yuan Zhenren glanced at Qi Cheng Zhenren and said directly to Shi Zelan: "Your uncle wants the evil-repelling talisman you made."
Shi Zelan smiled at Qiyuan Zhenren and Qicheng Zhenren, then turned to Shanzheng Zhenren and said, "Master, can I make a talisman to ward off evil spirits now?"
Shanzheng Zhenren shook his head. He and Qiyuan Zhenren explained, "My master said that it is not easy for Lan Jie to practice, so we don't want her to waste her spiritual energy drawing talismans."
Master Decheng lowered his eyebrows. Shi Zelan drew talismans every day. When Master Shanzheng was talking, he probably forgot that Xia Yu would also stay here for a few days.
After Master Shanzheng and Master Qiyuan talked, they immediately sent a message to Shi Zelan: "When Yu'er lives here, try to draw fewer talismans."
"I know, Master. I just want to practice. I can only draw the most basic talismans."
"Shan Zheng, Lan Jie'er is now your eldest disciple, you must teach her well."
Shanzheng Zhenren smiled and nodded: "The Zhenjuns of the sect have probably noticed the problem with Lan Jie'er. If she cultivates a little slower, no one will make a fuss."
Qi Yuan Zhenren looked at Shi Zelan and sighed: "Your father and mother are not by your side, so they can worry less, but it is difficult for your master and uncle master."
Shi Zelan lowered her brows and said nothing. No one knew where Shi Beichen and his wife were at the moment. At this time, it would be inappropriate for her to say anything.
