Faced with Nie Yan's problem, the crazy old Taoist was silent for a moment.

It was another early spring season, and it started drizzling at some point in the night.

Next to the candlelight and on the wooden table, he gently pushed Nie Yan away and began to organize these herbal pills by himself. Nie Yan was not in a hurry and just waited aside.

"The great formation must be opened, and the mountain gate will be held every ten years. It has been exactly ten years since you entered the mountain gate. This formation is usually used to calculate the fate of the people in the next ten years. Five years later, you will participate in Kai Suhui's ritual for the first time. At that time, it is the time when you go down the mountain." The crazy old Taoist put a handful of herbs into the oil paper bag slowly, and finally said this.

Nie Yan's expression was calm at first, but then he felt a little disbelief. He looked at the crazy old Taoist and said, "Master, are you going to drive me down the mountain gate? Leave this small path realm?"

"How could I drive you down the mountain? All of this is your own destiny." The crazy old Taoist looked at Nie Yan and said calmly.

"Okay, I understand." Nie Yan nodded slightly to the crazy old Taoist and began to help the crazy old Taoist clean up everything on the table.

I just don’t know if it is ‘late spring cold’ tonight. The drizzle is very cold as it falls, just like the rain in winter.

When he returned to the house, Nie Yan couldn't sleep. Not to mention entering into meditation, even if he had to let go of sleep, he could not fall asleep.

As soon as he stood up, he pushed the window, and the night completely covered the entire path realm like a fairyland, leaving only the silhouettes of the mountains.

He never thought about leaving his master.

Just like leaving this small path world, where should he go?

This matter has never been mentioned after the crazy old Taoist talked about it once.

It seemed like a tacit understanding, and Nie Yan never asked about it again.

The days in the mountains are dull, so dull that they are a little lonely... The master and apprentice depend on each other, but they don't feel difficult to bear.

On this day, after Master Xu and two disciples came to drink, Nie Yan realized that the cold wine could no longer be in his mouth and needed to be warmed up.

Looking up, the waterfall in front of the cliff has long become a tiny stream, and the river above the waterfall has also frozen. Occasionally, a piece of ice will fall from above and fall into the shallow pool that has not been frozen for many years, splashing a splash of water.

The distant mountains and nearby waters are more or less covered with a layer of thin snow.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the layers of smoke-like mist that scattered across the path.

Time cannot be calculated carefully. How many spring, summer, autumn and winter have you been here? Nie Yan looked at the distance and was a little dazed.

The sound of the master's footsteps interrupted his meditation.

"Yan'er, the bone soup has been boiled, please follow me to the backyard." Who is the crazy old Taoist?

Over the years, his alcohol tolerance became more and more effective. He drank Master Xu a little and a half, but he didn't even have any trouble, and he didn't even delay helping him cook the bone-sink soup.

The so-called "Shenbone Soup" is one of the "Nine Soups" in the Taoist Realm and is the top fragrant soup.

The effect is on its bones. Long-term invasion and bone-sinking soup can make the bones sink as deep as iron, and are extremely tough and strong. Only by strengthening the bones can it strengthen its muscles. This is also a fundamental reason.

Earlier, the fragrant soup used by Nie Yan was definitely not as high-end as the bone soup. It was not until that day that his master received so many "decided laws" that Nie Yan began to brew bone soup.

I followed my master to the backyard, and the small pond in the yard was already steaming, and a unique fragrance in the bone soup filled the entire backyard.

The rising steam and the thin white snow complemented each other. Nie Yan was happy to see it, and couldn't help but take off his clothes quickly. He jumped into the small pond in the backyard and swam happily.

The small pond is not big, how can it withstand Nie Yan's tossing? It seems that a lot of fragrant soup is about to sprinkle out of the pond.

The master, who was standing not far away, made a gesture, and the fluttering water splashes turned into a stream of water again, falling back into the pool, sprinkling Nie Yan's head and face.

"Master, you are the one among the gods." Nie Yan couldn't help laughing a few times. Under the rare winter sun, the boy's smile was innocent, his white teeth, and his flying eyebrows were extremely contagious, which made the crazy old Taoist smile.

Since childhood, I have loved to watch the master’s tricks and perform tricks, just like a child watching tricks.

I also forgot how many nights I was punished by my master for being disobedient, or after suffering some grievances and setbacks, my master would use a small trick to coax him.

However, now that I am older, there are fewer opportunities like this. I just suddenly see it and can still recall the happiness brought to me by this little trick when I was a child.

"What kind of style is that I am a young man, and I am still so unsteady. Bone Soup is precious, how can I waste it like this? Today I will punish you for half an hour to soak it, so I will not be allowed to leave this small pond without absorbing the power of Chinese medicine in the soup." Looking at Nie Yan, the crazy old Taoist put away his smile, walked over as if he was serious, and sat next to the small pond.

There was a large bamboo basket pocket there, which contained some clean clothes that looked a little old and needlework. Nie Yan naturally recognized that it was the clothes he wore when he was a child.

Now, I have already put on the Taoist robe of the Taoist Realm, and those clothes are no longer available.

However, when he was a child, he was naughty and ran around the mountains. No matter how wear-resistant these clothes were, they were made into many troubles by Nie Yan. I also remember that every time the master would care about it, and he would definitely punish him when he saw that his clothes were damaged.

Gradually, Nie Yan also learned to cherish clothes.

But I found that I had long lost the "special" clothes that were different from those of my disciples when I was a child, and the rest were Taoist robes.

Facing the seriousness of the Crazy Old Taoist at this moment, Nie Yan didn't care about it. After being with his master and apprentice for more than ten years, he had already figured out the temper of the Crazy Old Taoist. If he really got angry, he would not only not have such a serious expression, but might have a smile on his face, just like an "old fox".

He used a bath cloth to wipe a handful of water on his face and said with a smile: "Master is just caring. How could he know that his disciple thought the weather was cold and wanted to bubble more bone-sinking soup?"

"Oh? Since that's the case, then you should also spend here at dinner time. Today, Master Xu caught a hare. The nest of hares that were stealing from the Shanmen Medicine Field was finally caught. The rabbit grew up in the Medicinal Field of the Shanmen Medicine Field of the Shanmen Medicine Field was finally caught. The rabbit grew up in the Medicinal Field of the Shanmen Medicine Field, thinking about the taste... Tsk tsk, let alone the nourishment. In addition, I also caught a lot of fine-scale silverfish to entertain you Master Xu. After a meal, I still caught some fine scales of silverfish. After a meal, I was still not good. I'll eat it alone tonight." The crazy old Taoist took a piece of Nie Yan's childhood clothes from the bamboo basket, wearing needles and threads a little clumsyly, and said while wearing them.

"Ah, Master, don't, I know my mistake." Nie Yan screamed strangely, and quickly bowed and pleased him. He also had to take the needle and thread from the crazy old Taoist and help him thread the needle.
