Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

As winter deepens, the weather gradually becomes colder.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the clouds on the horizon are dyed with a faint golden red, and the entire fishing village begins to be immersed in a peaceful twilight. As the last rays of sunlight disappear over the horizon, soft flakes of snow begin to fall from the sky, bringing with them the first snow of winter.

The snowflakes fell quietly, as if the sky's paintbrush was gently passing through the air, and everything became extraordinarily peaceful. They fell on the roof and branches, forming a thin layer, decorating the whole world with silver.

The general and Xianmeng lit a fire in the house, wore the clothes given by Aunt Wang, drank the wine given by the villagers, and chatted happily.

With a creak, Lei Ze opened the door to the back room and walked out.

Looking at the wide variety of items in the house, as well as Xianmeng and the general wearing such ugly clothes, Lei Ze also looked puzzled: "I haven't been out for half a month, why did you two loot the village?"

The general poured Lei Ze a glass of wine and said, "Oh, Master, you are taking your practice too seriously. These are gifts from kind-hearted villagers. Come, have a taste of this wine. Don't worry, the mice have drank it."

Lei Ze tasted it and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "Yes, yes, this wine is good. Come on, come on, fill it up."

The general chuckled and poured another glass for Lei Ze: "Master, I said you are destined to lose, so just wait and refine countless Tianyuan Pills for me. Look at how nice the villagers here are. We only wear thin clothes, and they even sew clothes for us.”

"The village chief heard that we didn't have a stove, so he asked his son to bring a stove. You see, the wine was brewed by Uncle Li's family, and the vegetables, meat, and grain were all sent by kind-hearted villagers."

Lei Ze did not reply to the general and took another sip of wine. Turning around, he asked Xianmeng: "Xianmeng, what do you think?"

Xianmeng said timidly: "I think Sister General is right, but what Brother Xianren said is also possible, but it just won't happen in this village."

Lei Ze smiled and said: "Who knows, time will tell us the answer. Come, come, drink and drink."

"Cheers" the three of them raised their glasses and said together.

After drinking one glass after another, Lei Ze finally couldn't help but said to the general: "What are you wearing? Didn't you learn how to dress from novels? Why are you still dressed so ugly?"

The general replied unconvinced: "Master, this is the most popular outfit in this village. Look at everyone wearing it."

"I get it, you don't know how to dress at all, you just think about it."

"Master, that white silk suit is not popular in the village. That one is suitable for the city."

"No, no, no, you can wear it inside the house and change it back outside."

"Master is in such trouble."

"Then you can wear that purple Taoist robe, both inside and outside the house."

"No, Master, I want to wear this cotton-padded jacket. Didn't you say so, Master? I want to be like a mortal."

"Why, we are the young master and two younger sisters now. The young master's younger sister can't dress nicer at home."

"......"

It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm as spring inside.

Xianmeng looked at the heavy snow outside the house and thought of the winter in Qishui Village. Grandpa was lying on the bed, and she could only pick up a few firewood to burn in the house to keep warm. At that time, she would sit on the cold floor, hugging her knees, staring at the swaying flames, hoping to find a trace of warmth.

The wind howled outside, seeming to tell of the harshness of the cold.

"Wuhu, the wind and snow outside are getting bigger and bigger." Lei Ze's words brought the fairy dream back to reality.

Xianmeng listened to the rumblings outside, and looked at Lei Ze and the general who were dissatisfied with each other. For some reason, tears flowed down.

When Lei Ze saw Xian Meng's appearance, he quickly picked up the general's neck collar, came to Xian Meng, and said:

"It's okay, Xianmeng, don't cry. I know you also think this big cotton-padded jacket is ugly, but you don't want to say it because of the general's sister's face. It's okay, Xianmeng, brother Xianren will make the decision for you today. From now on, you There is no need to wear these ugly, thick cotton-padded jackets and thick cotton pants at home.”

The general said with an unconvinced look: "Sister Xianmeng doesn't think it is ugly. Sister Xianmeng must be crying because you are too stupid, master, to keep up with the pace of this genius."

Lei Ze had a look of disdain on his face: "Okay, okay, today I will punish you, this traitor, on the spot."

Xianmeng wiped her tears, sniffed, and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Xianren, it's not that I feel ugly, Xianmeng just feels that I am so happy."

Lei Ze also put down the general and said, "Then why are you crying?"

Xianmeng said: "I don't know, tears flowed down uncontrollably."

The general said: "Hey, sister Xianmeng, don't worry about him. He is just a cultivator. He doesn't know the warmth and coldness of the world."

Lei Ze also frowned: "You are not a human being, how can you talk about the warmth of the world?"

The general said: "I, I..."

Lei Ze laughed loudly: "General Lei, you are defeated."

The general was not convinced, but he could not give a reason to refute, so he could only snort: "Humph, childish."

Just when Lei Ze was about to take the opportunity to laugh, suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew. One of the windows of the wooden house failed to withstand the strong wind, and was blown open by the cold wind with a "bang" sound.

Accompanied by the squeaking sound of the wooden windows, the cold wind broke into the house carrying snowflakes.

Lei Ze walked to the window, looked at the white snow in the yard, and said to the general: "General, if you don't accept it, let's have a snowball fight."

The general's eyes lit up and he immediately accepted the challenge: "Okay, I'll show you who is the real genius!" She jumped up excitedly and rushed out the door.

Xianmeng was also attracted by this sudden activity and couldn't help but giggle and follow him out. Although she was still crying just now, her face was now filled with childlike happiness and anticipation.

Lei Ze also came out and said: "You are not allowed to use magic and Qi. Xianmeng, you will be the referee. Shape the snow into a ball. Whoever gets hit more will lose."

Xian Meng said: "Okay."

......

"It's 10 to 25 now. Brother Immortal hit 10 times and Sister General hit 25 times. Brother Immortal lost." After saying that, Xianmeng laughed, her smile was so sweet that it seemed to melt the snow in the sky. Same.

Bang, Xianmeng's bright smile was covered by a ball of snow.

"You will be beaten if you take pleasure in others' misfortune." Lei Ze said with a smile.

Xianmeng quickly made a fool of herself, knocked away the snowball, and shouted to Lei Ze: "Humph, brother, you are so bad."

After Xianmeng finished speaking, she pinched a snowball from her feet and joined the fight between the two.
