After picking for more than an hour, Yin He's patience was exhausted because he was preoccupied with things.
He found a chance and went close to Xi Yunting to pick them.
Xi Yunting didn't even raise his eyes and picked the tea tips in front of him step by step.
Yin He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Junior brother, did you encounter any problems when you went out this time?"
Xi Yunting glanced at him sideways, "What do you mean?"
Yin He paused for a moment before saying, "It's just... life events or something like that."
Xi Yunting said calmly, "Brother Yin, just ask whatever you want to ask. It's not like you to be so hesitant."
Yin He seemed to be infected by Tai Xuan. He coughed uncomfortably and asked with a evasive look, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
Xi Yunting did not answer directly, but asked: "Who did Senior Brother Yin hear this from? Zhao Fang?"
When Yin He heard this, he thought Xi Yunting was going to call him to task. He was immediately annoyed. He shouldn't have believed such an outrageous rumor!
He was frustrated and disappointed, and at the same time, he was unhappy about being deceived by rumors. "I didn't hear it directly from him, but the person who told me heard it from him." He gritted his teeth, "This kid really dares to say anything. I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"
He was just thinking about how to torture this daring guy who spread rumors and caused trouble, when he heard someone say, "It's not nonsense, so there's no need to punish him."
When he first heard it, Yin He was a little bit unbelieving. He went over this sentence twice in his mind before staring at Xi Yunting with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Xi Yunting still looked calm and composed, slowly picking the tea tips with his true energy.
Yin He raised his voice uncontrollably, "What did you say?!"
Xi Yunting frowned and glanced at him, as if blaming him for being noisy, "Senior Brother Yin heard it clearly, I don't think I need to repeat it again."
Yin He flew to Xi Yunting in a flash and asked in shock, "Are you serious? Do you really have a crush on someone?!"
Xi Yunting remained calm and gently pushed Yin He away, asking him not to block him from picking tea. After pushing him aside, he said "hmm" as a response.
Yin He was completely stunned, the tea leaves in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he murmured, "My ancestor, the cold iron tree has also learned to bloom."
Xi Yunting glared at him unhappily, "What's the big deal? There is no rule in the sect that forbids me from having a lover."
Yin He calmed himself down and said seriously: "There is indeed no such rule in the sect's regulations, but few people agree with it. Think about it, how many people in the master's generation and the ancestor's generation had a Taoist couple?" Aren't most of them old bachelors?
A subtle expression flashed across Xi Yunting's face, and he said slowly: "As far as I know, it's not that they don't want to get married, but that they haven't gotten married yet."
When the Chongxuan Sect accepted disciples, it attached great importance to aptitude and understanding, and only disciples with great talents would be formally accepted. Their outstanding talents allowed these people to advance quickly in their cultivation, and the growth of their cultivation was inseparable from closed-door practice.
When practitioners go into seclusion, they often ignore the passage of time. When they come out, all their lovers are gone.
Xi Yunting still remembers that when he was a child, he heard that a certain great-grandmaster had gone into seclusion and came out with his childhood sweetheart and his children all fought with him, which made him so angry that he came back crying.
Yin He was choked and speechless.
After a while, he blinked and said, "Your master doesn't know yet, right?"
Xi Yunting frowned and said, "I haven't informed Master yet."
Although Xi Yunting's master didn't control him strictly, he had high expectations for him because Xi Yunting had outstanding talent and a high chance of becoming an immortal. He would definitely not like such a change.
Yin He sighed and patted his shoulder: "Then I wish you good luck."
Xi Yunting thanked him calmly, then went back to picking tea leaves.
Yin He picked with him for another half an hour before saying goodbye and going back.
Although his movements were not as skillful as those of his junior apprentice, he still managed to pick 200 kilograms of tea leaves in half a day. According to the ratio of 4 kilograms of fresh leaves to 1 kilogram of tea leaves, he could pick 50 kilograms in just half a day.
He thought to himself, at least he could get about ten or eight kilograms, right?
However, he did not expect that he would be scolded half to death for this incident later, offending all his ancestors and being looked down upon for several years.
He was so upset that he wanted to cry but had no tears. Who knew Xi Yunting would value women over friendship? If he had known, he would have picked a few hundred more kilograms even if he worked until the moon was at its highest point in the sky!
The sun was high in the sky, and the light of the sun and stars penetrated the window and hit Chen Xiao's face. He frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
He worked hard for a day and two nights, and finally used his limited energy to successfully consecrate the bronze horse. In the end, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the workshop without even returning to the bedroom.
He stood up from the table, his body stiffly protesting. Chen Xiao stretched his sore shoulders, got up and went to the yard to practice his body movements, and finally felt better.
After a simple wash, Chen Xiao took the bronze horse and walked directly to the home of the master of the Chaimen family who lived on the front street.
When Chen Xiao arrived, the door of the Chaimen master's house was open, and he could see the busy scene inside from the door. People were coming and going inside, counting and preparing things to take with them.
Chen Xiao didn't see Master Chai, and was wondering whether he should go in directly, when a few people came back behind him with large and small bags.
Seeing him standing at the door, one of them asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Chen Xiao stood a little further away and let the door open. He said politely, "I'm here to look for Master Chai. I wonder if he's here?"
The man looked at him curiously, and seemed to have guessed something, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes. You are the Feng Shui master, Master Chen, right? Please come in, the master has been waiting for you for the next two days."
The people busy at the door looked over when they heard the noise, but these people were very well-behaved and did not come over to ask questions, which made Chen Xiao secretly relieved.
Upon hearing the report, Master Chai came out hurriedly to greet him. Chen Xiao exchanged a few words with him and walked through the courtyard which was so crowded that there was almost no room to step.
Entering the corridor, I saw a three-foot-wide partition. This partition was made of wood, with simple vertical stripes on the lower part like wall panels, and window lattices on the upper part, with a pattern inlaid in the center to represent good luck.
When Master Chai saw Chen Xiao looking at him, he smiled and asked, "Master Chen, do you think this partition is right?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." He pointed to the half-high wooden wall and gestured, "Master Chai can place a potted plant here, it will look more lively."
Master Chai nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Master Chen. I will ask someone to do it in a moment."
Chen Xiao looked back at the people who were still busy and asked, "Are you preparing for the trip?"
Master Chai invited Chen Xiao to come into the living room to talk. He walked around the partition and said, "We are very poor, and we only have two small storage bags. You need to sort and organize the things you bring into boxes, and then put them into the storage bags, so that you don't have trouble taking them out when the time comes."
Chen Xiao said: "I see."
Before entering the living room, he found that Master Chai had placed some blooming flowers and plants in the corner of the corridor according to his instructions. Two pots of blooming flowers and plants decorated the room, which originally looked shabby and old, and immediately made it more lively.
Chen Xiao looked at the water droplets on the petals and couldn't help asking, "After you left, was there anyone to take care of this house?"
Master Chai said: "We will not all leave this time. One person will stay behind."
Chen Xiao nodded. It was enough for someone to water the flowers. Otherwise, the flowers would dry up and die, and naturally there would be no life at all.
Entering the living room, Master Chai said impatiently, "Master Chen, I've been busy these past two days and I haven't had time to ask you. I wonder if you've found a suitable magic weapon?"
Chen Xiao corrected him: "It's a Feng Shui magic weapon, not a magic weapon in the traditional sense. This kind of magic weapon can neither attack nor defend. Its only function is to stabilize the aura in the house."
Master Chai said: "Since it works, it is undoubtedly a magic weapon."
Chen Xiao said helplessly: "When Master Chai has seen it, he will know that Feng Shui magic tools are different from ordinary magic tools."
Immediately, Chen Xiao took out the bronze horse.
With Chen Xiao's energy used to consecrate it, the bronze horse looks even more brilliant and majestic.
The Chai family master was amazed and exclaimed: "What a vivid horse."
Seeing that he was satisfied, Chen Xiao also smiled and said, "As long as Master Chai is satisfied. This bronze horse needs to be placed in the wealth position of the living room. For people who often travel outside, this bronze horse symbolizes success. Its stable aura can make the owner of the house travel safely and do things as he wishes."
Master Chai picked up the bronze horse and felt it. Although he couldn't input his true energy to stimulate it like a magic weapon, he felt a calming feeling when touching the bronze horse.
He said to Chen Xiao: "Since this Feng Shui tool has such benefits, why don't I carry it with me? Wouldn't it be more useful?"
Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He said, "Master Chai, the trouble you suffered was all caused by the house. The function of this bronze horse is to guard the house. Naturally, it is best to put it in the house."
Only then did Master Chai reluctantly hand the bronze horse to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao asked about the true essence of Master Chai, and measured the orientation of the house to calculate the exact wealth position. Then he asked Master Chai to bring a high-legged coffee table and put the bronze horse on it.
After putting the bronze horse away, Chen Xiao told Master Chai to try not to let anyone move it. Master Chai patted his chest and promised that he would not let anyone move it.
Afterwards, Master Chai said to Chen Xiao, "Master Chen just said that this bronze horse is used to protect the house. So do you have any Feng Shui tools with you for protection?" He was still not at ease, and always wanted to find something he could carry with him to bring him safety.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Of course I have some Feng Shui protective gear that I carry with me. But even this bronze horse was obtained by rushing to Jianzhai, so I really don't have any magic tools to give to Master Chai. However, even though I don't have any magic tools, I have another kind of paper talisman here, which is more convenient to use than the jade talisman."
He took out a bunch of paper charms and said, "For example: a peace charm that turns misfortune into good fortune, a magic charm that allows for quick movement, a protective charm that resists attacks, and a soul-attracting charm that gathers energy and nourishes. One for each spirit bead, is this the main one?"
