Chapter 14 The Daoist Burning Fire
Lin Xiao and Yao'er have a common secret, so the two have become closer.
After being awakened by Yao'er that day, Lin Xiao once asked Yao'er: "Since this is the secret of Senior Sister Yao'er, why did Senior Sister bring me here?"
Yao'er's answer is indeed very good. "This, lotus seeds are made every forty-nine days, and my senior sister is reluctant to miss the lotus seeds that day. But the master said again, I want me to follow you closely, so I can only take you over. Well, um, you haven't told anyone about that place anyway. Isn't this great? It saves me from wasting half of the lotus seeds every time."
Lin Xiao didn't understand what was going on with that lotus flower, that pond, or that cave. But he could clearly feel the benefits brought to him by the lotus seeds he took each time. Every time he took the lotus seed, the increase of the skill was minimal, which was probably equivalent to the true energy that Lin Xiao had increased after practicing for half a month. However, Lin Xiao could clearly detect changes in his body, and his energy became more abundant, and his reaction was more acute. It seemed that the lotus seeds had the effect of fundamentally improving a person's qualifications.
Of course, this is just the change that Lin Xiao felt. Whether these lotus seeds have other magical effects is determined by Lin Xiao’s lack of ability.
However, after spending a few months with Yao'er, Lin Xiao was gradually assimilated by Yao'er. If you can't figure out anything you can't figure out, just let it go and think about it again, and Lin Xiao threw away all the problems.
Half a year has passed after Lin Xiao joined the Daluo Dandao. On this day, Yao'er was waving his iron axe lazily and chopping the golden birch woods in the golden birch forest. Lin Xiao squatted by a bonfire and carefully served the three pheasants baked on the fire. This is the division of labor between Lin Xiao and Yao'er over the past six months - Yao'er's cultivation is higher than Lin Xiao, so she deals with the golden birch woods that are several times harder than the essence iron for Lin Xiao; Lin Xiao's cooking skills are higher than Yao'er, so he cooks some wild animals for the two to share.
For half a year, the two have become accustomed to this kind of cooperation division of labor. They do not think that Yao'er helps Lin Xiao chop wood is a cheating act, nor do they think that the two secretly baking wild animals and barbecues violate the precepts of practicing Taoism.
She waved the iron axe and chopped the iron basket randomly. The medicine filled the iron basket and couldn't wait to run to the bonfire and squatted beside Lin Xiao. She drooled, stared at the pheasant on the wooden rack, and desperately twisted the flesh on Lin Xiao's arm with her fingers: "Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you so hungry, so greedy, hurry up! The master of the sect is so hateful, and I'm going to be a disciple of Quangu to practice fasting again, I'm so greedy!" Yao'er kept licking his lips with his tongue, like a gluttonous puppy.
"Okay, okay, it's going to be ready!" Lin Xiao crushed a wild fruit, applied the juice to three pheasants, and baked it carefully for a while, quickly took a golden and oily pheasant from the wooden rack and handed it to Yao'er.
"Okay, OK!" Yao'er's eyes were glowing. She quickly changed the roast chicken from her left hand to her right hand, and threw it from her right hand into her left hand. "It's so hot, so hot, help me, it's so hot!" Yao'er couldn't wait to bite the chicken legs hard and tear down a large piece of meat. The hot oil made her scream sharply, but she screamed while ate the roast chicken clean like a wind blowing clouds.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and handed a roast chicken to Yaoer.
"Well, um, junior brother, you are a good person. Well, you eat too, don't always give me some food!" Yao'er snatched the roast chicken in Lin Xiao's hand, and asked Lin Xiao to do it quickly. However, her eyes looking at the last roast chicken on the wooden rack looked like a hungry little wolf.
"Uh, yes." Lin Xiao's eating habits were much more polite than Yao'er. He took off the roast chicken, slowly tore off the chicken with his fingers, and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Huhh!" Yao'er had already filled the second roast chicken into her stomach. She carefully licked the grease on her fingers with her tongue, and then patted her belly with satisfaction and smiled at Lin Xiao: "Junior brother, the master of the sect should send you to the kitchen. Well, are you willing to be the manager of the kitchen?"
Lin Xiao was silent, and a mouthful of chicken was blocked in his throat and he didn't swallow it for a long time.
Yao'er lay beside Lin Xiao with all his might and hummed with satisfaction: "The current kitchen manager, that guy, huh, I don't know where Uncle Danyu brought him back. Alas, the things I made were so unpalatable, alas, my appetite became much worse. Well, well, fortunately, with you, Junior Brother, my senior sister's appetite has only recovered halfway!"
‘After half of recovery’, Lin Xiao’s eyes hopped violently. He looked at Xiaoer’s flat belly, which was not fat at all. Where did she eat these things?
Shaking his head, putting the pheasant in his hand away, covering the bonfire with soil, Lin Xiao also lay down on the ground, and leaning shoulder to shoulder with Yao'er.
It is already early autumn, and the sky is blue and there are no clouds. The warm sunshine is shining on the body, making people doze lazily. There are a few rows of big birds flying by in the sky, and in the nearby forest, a large group of wild bees are buzzing and busy. On the opposite hillside is a flowery mountain, and on the top of the mountain is a wild fruit forest. Light red mountain fruits are appearing among the branches. The wind blows from the other side of the mountain, bringing a strong fragrance of flowers and fruits.
"Ah~~~" Yao'er yawned up to the sky, and her head tilted, and naturally laid her head on Lin Xiao's arm. Without saying a word, she fell asleep deeply. Lin Xiao looked at Yao'er with a little enviousness and even a little jealous. Maybe, living a simpler life is also a kind of happiness? Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are sleepy, which is also a rare kind of freedom.
Yao'er's pretty face was right in front of her, and her gentle breath gently hit Lin Xiao's face. Lin Xiao felt a little sweet in his heart. He was about to reach out to touch Yao'er's long hair, but the sudden burst of blood gushed out in front of him suddenly woke him up.
"Dad~Xiaobai~" Lin Xiao's face turned gloomy. When he looked at Yao'er, his eyes were already clear, like the snow light reflected from the sunshine in the snow.
After moving his body gently, Lin Xiao moved his body a little far apart from Yao'er's body.
Because Lin Xiao's arm shaking, Yao'er in the sleeping moaned dissatisfiedly. She stretched out her fingers in her sleep and pinched Lin Xiao's weakness fiercely. Yao'er in the dream was extremely heavy, and Lin Xiao's cultivation was far inferior to her. This pinch made Lin Xiao's eyes turn black, and tears couldn't help but flow down. After being taught, Lin Xiao would never dare to move around again, so she could only look at Yao'er with a bitter face. Yao'er in the sleeping dream didn't know what happy things he thought of, and suddenly laughed "giggled".
"Bad boy, well, tomorrow's roast chicken will cost four. I will have three, you will have one, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly.
A cool breeze suddenly blew. After staying in Huichun Valley for half a year, Lin Xiao was already familiar with the elusive methods of those who practice Taoism. As soon as he felt the cool breeze, he knew that a master was coming.
Lin Xiao turned his head quickly and happened to see another disciple of Dan Fusheng, Hua Fenger, standing about a till the sky. Hua Fenger smiled and squinted at Lin Xiao and Yaoer, suddenly raised his fingers and gently stroked his cheeks a few times. Lin Xiao couldn't help but blushed. He instinctively shrank his arms back, and a carp stood up, bowed deeply to Hua Fenger and said, "Senior Sister Hua!" He shrank his hands too fast, Yaoer's head was brought about about a foot high, and then he hit the ground heavily.
As soon as he asked Hua Feng'er, Lin Xiao was kicked hard on the butt, and he rushed forward in a very embarrassing manner for a few feet. A dog fell to the ground with heavy sucking. Lin Xiao opened his eyes in a daze and looked left and right, but found that he was lying in front of Hua Feng'er. If Hua Feng'er hadn't reacted twice, his face would have hit Hua Feng'er's shoes.
Yao'er, who was extremely angry, roared at Lin Xiao with his teeth and claws, "Little Junior Brother! You dare to throw my head on purpose! What should I do if I fall stupid? Uh~~ Senior Sister? What are you doing? I didn't steal the roasted pheasant." When Yao'er suddenly saw Hua Feng'er, he immediately became very quiet and ladylike and smiled: "These three pheasants were all secretly roasted and eaten by the junior brother!"
"Uh, Senior Sister Yao'er!" Lin Xiao got up in a mess, and wanted to tell Yao'er a fair face, but Yao'er's right palm was raised and she looked like she was ready to thunder in her palm at any time. Lin Xiao immediately lowered her head sadly and honestly said to Hua Feng'er: "Sister Hua, this pheasant is indeed, it is true, it is indeed what I ate."
Yao'er nodded with satisfaction, and she said with a smile: "Senior sister, look, he admits it himself! Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Yao'er smiled and said proudly!
Hua Feng'er was holding her smile, and the flesh on her face was almost cramped. She shook her head gently, then nodded again, and said slowly: "Forget it, eating a few wild animals is not a big deal. The head master said that he wanted his disciples to fast and practice, but in fact, hehehe~~~"
Finally, I couldn't help laughing, and Hua Feng'er laughed in a low voice: "There are more than you 'pair's disciples outside, and I won't talk nonsense with senior sister."
'A pair', Lin Xiao blushed when he heard this, and his head almost drooped to the ground. Yao'er clapped his hands carelessly: "It turns out that we are not just stealing our mouths? Senior sister, you scared me again! Well, Yao'er, I dare to act and take responsibility for doing things. I took two of three pheasants!"
Lin Xiao looked at Yao'er silently. Is her artificiality also called "dare to act and dare to take responsibility"? At the beginning, who put a whole slander on Lin Xiao's head?
Hua Feng'er also twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at the beautiful Yao'er with a smile. After a long time, she sighed softly, and then glanced at Lin Xiao with great pity. Shaking her head, Hua Feng'er smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lin, your entry-level heart-to-heart-making period has passed. Master sent me to find you and ask you to go back to assign responsibilities and select the skills you practice."
"Yeah? Has the youngest brother's heart-to-enching period passed?" Yao'er looked at Hua Feng'er in confusion: "The other white-clothed children have a heart-to-enching period of at least three years and ten years, and it's only half a year! I haven't had enough fun yet, why is the youngest brother going to be assigned to the position?"
‘I haven’t had enough fun yet!’, these words made Lin Xiao and Hua Fenger feel silent again.
After a long time, Hua Feng'er smiled and said, "Yao'er, Master said that this time I'm going to let you take charge of a single alchemy furnace."
"Ah? Oh? Um!" Yao'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she danced with excitement: "Hold a pill furnace alone? A pill furnace? Senior sister? You heard it right? Is the master so generous?"
Hua Feng'er's eyes rolled and she chuckled, "Master also said that if you blow up the alchemy furnace you are in charge this time, then you will never be able to enter the alchemy room in the future!"
"You can't enter the alchemy room forever?" Yao'er's smile suddenly stiffened. She looked at Hua Feng'er blankly, then turned her head to look at Lin Xiao, and tears rolled down. "Woooo, bad master~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Xiao was silent, Hua Feng'er was silent. The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiao, Yao'er, and Hua Feng'er had already rushed back to Huichun Valley.
In the Danqi Lingxiao Palace, Lin Xiao and seven other young Taoist robes lined up in a row, looking respectfully at the Dan Ling Taoist sitting cross-legged at the end of the hall.
Taoist Dan Ling's eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at Lin Xiao and others, and slowly spoke: "You have been in my Daluo Dan Dao for several years. During the time of innocence, you are extremely cautious and careful in your actions, and your origins are also innocent. Therefore, today, you have officially become my Daluo Dan Dao disciples."
The other seven Taoist priests in white all looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. They clearly remembered that Lin Xiao was just admitted to the sect half a year ago. Why did they become formal priests like them today? Of course, Taoist Dan Ling would not explain this issue to them. He assigned responsibilities to several Taoists, and gave them the alchemy techniques they practiced according to their five elements attributes, and sent them out of the hall.
Lin Xiao respectfully bowed to Taoist Danling respectfully.
Taoist Danling looked at Lin Xiao, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Huichun Hall was originally my Daluo Dandao lineage, so your heart-to-enhancing period is enough. Don't blame the master for deliberately using the heavy axe and basket to make things difficult for you. This is just to make you understand the difficulties of practicing Taoism. If you don't have perseverance and perseverance, you might as well go back to Guihua City and rebuild Huichun Hall."
"Disciple understand!" Lin Xiao bowed to Taoist Danling and said, "The disciple has decided to practice Taoism wholeheartedly and no longer care about the world."
"Okay!" Taoist Danling smiled and said, "You are different from other disciples. You are in the Huichuntang lineage~~~ Well, if you regret it in the future, you can come to see your master. This "True Fire Art" is just in line with your attributes. You should study it carefully. Well, for your responsibilities, go to the Danfang to be a firework Taoist first!"
