When Li Xiuzhu arrived, Master Xiaomeng and his disciple had already drunk the soup.

The soup is cooked in a clay pot. Since it is cooked in advance, it can be served directly when it is time for dinner.

However, there is also some particularity to this soup. It is made by using an adult hen to make soup, filtering out the fat, adding water and combining it with the ingredients in a clay pot, and simmering it for two hours.

Xiaoyaozi took a sip, and the rich flavor of chicken soup and ginseng and saponin spread in his mouth.

The rich chicken soup makes people feel warm and comfortable after just one sip.

"Wow, it tastes good. I haven't had such a delicious chicken soup in a long time."

Winter melon and pork ribs soup is just the opposite. Although the pork ribs are stewed in chicken broth, the diluted chicken broth does not take away the flavor of the ribs.

The winter melon absorbed the flavor of the chicken soup and pork ribs and was very fragrant, but although the soup had a meaty flavor, it was clear and delicious.

The maid smiled when she heard this, put two small bowls of rice on the table, and said, "Master, there is another way to eat this soup, which is to soak rice."

"The rice here is polished rice, so it can absorb the soup perfectly, making every grain full of flavor."

Xiaoyaozi was startled. Is there such a way to eat? Just then, Li Xiuzhu appeared on the stairs on the second floor.

Xiao Meng's eyes suddenly fixed.

Xiaoyaozi, who was about to try a new way of eating, immediately noticed his disciple's gaze and looked towards Li Xiuzhu.

At the same time, Li Xiuzhu also felt something and looked over.

When he saw Xiao Meng, Li Xiuzhu was also stunned. He had seen this girl before, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Li Xiuzhu, who was about to go up to the third floor, paused slightly, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the two of them.

Because of the two people's gazes, the maid also turned her head to look.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu coming, the maid bowed.

"Uncle."

"Well, get up."

Although these people are from his own garden, Li Xiuzhu doesn't want to expose too much outside, so he asks those who work outside to call him brother-in-law.

Son-in-law?

At this moment, both of them changed their expressions slightly.

Xiao Meng never thought that her lover, her destined person, was a married man.

Not to mention her, even Xiaoyaozi didn't expect that his disciple would be so miserable.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the two and said, "What a coincidence, we met just now, and I didn't expect to see you again here."

"It's really rude of me to come here without permission, but the way you two are looking at me, it seems that you are here for me. Is there anything you want?"

Li Xiuzhu didn't know why he came here. Logically speaking, even if the other party came to kill him, there was no need for him to expose it.

But looking at the look in the woman's eyes, it didn't seem like she was here to kill him.

But he didn't remember knowing that person, which made Li Xiuzhu somewhat curious.

Xiaoyaozi looked at his disciple and motioned for her to speak herself.

Xiao Meng was silent for a while, then she said, "My name is Xiao Meng, I am from the Taoist school. This time when I came out of the mountains, I calculated that I would have a disaster, and this disaster will happen to you."

Experience disaster?

Li Xiuzhu looked strange, he never expected to get such an answer.

Isn't this the Dharma Ending Age? I haven't heard of anyone cultivating immortality.

Even learning martial arts is extremely difficult.

"You guys practice Taoism?"

Xiao Meng shook her head, then suddenly nodded, which made Li Xiuzhu even more dizzy.

What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding your head? "Now the path to immortality is cut off, we can only practice Taoism."

Li Xiuzhu frowned slightly when he heard this, not understanding the difference.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Would it be convenient for me to sit down and chat for a few minutes?"

Xiao Meng looked at the master in silence, and when she saw that the master did not respond, she responded.

"Um!"

"Yes, uncle."

Li Xiuzhu sat aside and asked, "I don't quite understand what you said just now, is there any difference between cultivating immortals and cultivating Taoism?"

Hearing this, Xiao Meng said, "The immortals cultivate longevity and all kinds of incredible magical powers, but the Taoists can only understand and utilize the principles of heaven and earth within a certain range."

"You should have heard of Qimen Dunjia, right?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this. Although he didn't know the principle behind it, he had definitely heard of this name.

"The so-called Qimen Dunjia is the method used by Taoists. Everyone thinks that the Taoists' methods are incredible and contradict common sense."

"But they don't know that the Taoist priests are just following a set of hidden rules that ordinary people cannot understand and belong to this world through their Qi..."

"These rules are just hidden rules, not independent of this world. As long as the Taoists understand the rules, they can use their Qi to make use of them and become Taoist methods."

"And immortals are independent of this world. They cultivate immortality with their own body as the law. With one thought, flowers bloom and wither. They have all kinds of incredible magical powers. Even if they are separated from this world, the immortal law can still be used."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"And the Dao can only operate within the laws of nature in this world."

Li Xiuzhu understood, it was just like playing a game, Taoism was like a cheat.

The immortal method is like a cheat that can be materialized from the game into reality, which is the same system used by time travelers.

After understanding this principle, he was no longer so concerned about the so-called Taoism.

"So you said that the calamity has come upon me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"If there is, and it doesn't affect me much, I can help you."

"If the impact is significant, I'll have to consider it."

At this time, the maid came back with a tray in her hand with two dishes on it.

Just as I put a plate of stir-fried lamb with green onions and sweet and sour pork tenderloin on the table, I heard Xiaomeng say, "Love tribulation."

"My love calamity has fallen on you."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned, and the maid's hand trembled slightly and became numb.

Fortunately, I had just put the plate away, otherwise I would have had an accident.

She understood the concept of love tribulation well, especially since people in Yunzhu Tower talked about various love tribulations from time to time.

This... is this an attempt to offer myself to someone else?

Looking at Xiaomeng's beautiful and peaceful appearance, she suddenly felt a little envious.

If she were like Chang Xiaomeng, she would also want to offer herself to him.

It's not shameful to do it to have enough food and drink.

It was obvious that she thought Xiaomeng was someone she wanted to rely on.

Tsk, that's it? Why are you pretending to be a monk?

But as a maid, she had no right to speak.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Xiaomeng strangely, not knowing what to say.

He didn't know whether she approached him with ulterior motives, but based on her pretty appearance, he couldn't refuse her anyway.

"So you want to talk to me about love? Love?"

Xiao Meng nodded shamelessly when she heard this.

"Yeah, that's it."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard that. The other person was not afraid of a woman, so why should he be afraid?

At most, it would be the same arrangement as Nalan Mingyue.

"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you to stay first, and I'll come find you when I'm free."

Then he looked at Xiaoyaozi and continued, "I don't keep a man at home, so please do as you please, Taoist Priest."

Xiaoyaozi: “…”
