It glows red, and it's hard to see clearly in daylight, but it is indeed bright.I happily put the jade jue back to its original place and wore it next to my body. I heard Chang asked Xia again: "Go ten feet to the east, there is a bush there, and I have prepared a lovely mule for you."

sweat!Although I was very moved by her thoughtfulness, the mule...the cute mule...what I want is a horse, a handsome tall horse!But then again, how does she know where I am?strangeness.

Puzzled, I found the bush according to what she said, and a brown mule was tied up in the bush, and it was just circling in place in a daze.

"Is it cute?"

"The mud is really enough. I often ask Xia, am I going to marry a wife?" I muttered as I looked at the girl with a big red flower on her head, a string of copper bells on her neck, and two rows of red tassels on her body with a dark face. The festive mule was pulled out, and it made two "hmmmmhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" mule, as if mocking me for being an out-and-out fool.I was about to cry, shame on me.

"Hehe, I can hear what you say now, and I can see what you do. Chu Panniang, guess how I did it?" Chang Wenxia froze there... I almost I can imagine her proud expression with high eyebrows.

I stopped, raised my head, and rolled my eyes: "Enough is enough."

"Why aren't you moved? As soon as I get back to the house, I hold the gossip mirror to look at you and talk to you, just because I'm afraid that you will be sad and lonely."

I don't think I miss her at all now, not only that, but also hairy.Who can feel comfortable being watched like this, this butterfly spirit doesn't need to sleep, if she hugs that gossip mirror for twelve hours a day, wouldn't she be peeping at me while I was eating, sleeping, taking a bath and going to the latrine?Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Huh? Flower mule?" Perhaps the noise just now attracted the attention of the little Taoist nun Chiyi, she led her white horse and ran over, stroking the mule's mane and boasting: "It's so cute, It really matches the sedan chair."

"Do you think it's cute? Let's change it!" I handed the rein in front of her, and she immediately changed her attitude: "Oh, look at the Taoist robe I'm wearing. It doesn't fit. You should ride it yourself." Then he turned and left.

I untied the big red flower, tied it to the locust tree next to it, and rode over on a mule, but the sound of the copper bell around its neck still attracted everyone's attention as expected.

Meng Dongli glanced at me, then at the mule under me, moved the corners of his mouth but did not say yes or no after all, only said to the bearer to set off, then turned the horse's head and started on the road.

It would take less than two hours to return to Liu Yuanwai's mansion from here, if he took the official road, so it may be possible to arrive at noon.I rode a mule by the side of the sedan chair and chatted with Liu Qingyan to relieve her uncertain mood.

Holding the window of the sedan chair, she asked me: "Pan Niang, are you really going to become a Taoist nun?"

I nodded at her. In fact, she didn't know the latest progress of Chang Wenxia and I, and we didn't reveal it even when we were seeing off.

"Hey, why?" She was puzzled by this, which was only natural.I just made nonsense and said that Taoist Meng wanted to accept me as a disciple because he saw my potential.

"You actually agreed..." Liu Qingyan smiled wryly and shook her head: "I thought you would stay with that person, but I was overthinking. By the way, can you wait until I get married before leaving? I want to have someone with me."

I can't accept her, because even if I'm no longer a maid, I still can't make the decision.But I can try to ask Meng Dongli.In fact, the relationship between Meng Dongli and me is still as smooth as water. The two of them hardly talked, even the legendary apprenticeship ceremony was not mentioned. I was really worried about this forced relationship between master and apprentice.

The whole journey was non-stop, and the bearers traveled very quickly. In about an hour and a half, they had entered the west entrance of the town, and Liu Yuanwai's mansion was to the southwest of the town.

Ximen has already had a young boy waiting for me. They are people I know well, Ermao and Shuncai. It is believed that Liu Yuanwai's mansion received the news, knowing that we arrived today, so they sent someone to welcome us.

"Taoist head, come this way quickly. The house has prepared good wine and good food, specially for the three Taoist heads to cleanse the dust." Ermao rushed up to show Meng Dongli the way, and Shuncai ran back to deliver a message. up.

A group of people continued to walk on the main street.The street was full of people coming and going, and I don't know how the news could spread so fast. People in the town came out to watch, discussing the gossip about Miss Liu Jiaer's trip to the gangster's den on the street. People can't help but imagine, but listening to them talk, it's like seeing it with their own eyes.

Liu Qingyan's chastity is not guaranteed, Wang Zaian ignores past suspicions, the female priest shows her power, the female bandit died tragically in the dust...it's all a mess.

"A group of talkative, ignorant and ignorant mortals actually think this village master is so incompetent! This village master is clearly alive and well! Humph! Bang!" Chang Wenxia was angry there, seemingly smashing a wine glass , I think she is kind of cute like that.

After a stick of incense, the group finally arrived at Liu's Mansion.Liu Yuanwai, Wang Zaian, and the rest of the female family members stood in a row at the door, their eager faces immediately became extremely joyful after seeing the sedan chair.

"Finally back, finally back!!! My Qingyan, my daughter!!!"

The crowd had long forgotten to receive the three benefactors who had rescued Liu Qingyan, and they rushed straight to the sedan chair, crying one by one before the curtain was lifted.I was quite startled by this battle, and hurriedly rode a mule to hide beside Chiyi.

"Father!!! Mother!!! Daughter misses you so much!!!" Liu Qingyan, who had always been self-controlled, began to lose control of her emotions. As soon as she came out, she called her father and mother miserably, and her tears continued to flow.Sure enough, to her, parents are people who cannot be easily abandoned, compared to me, I am too cold, because I never thought of my relatives in this world during the days in the cottage.

Wang Zaian was standing next to Yuanwai Liu, watching with tears in his eyes as the family of three hugged into a ball, I think he must have wished to tear apart everyone and hold Liu Qingyan tightly in his arms.

Wang Zai'an is indeed the infatuated second son of the Wang family in the rumors, but the rumors still have their untrue side, as if the lady's ruddy complexion does not look like a dying person, and Wang Zai'an does not have the white hair in the legend.

Everyone cried and cried at the gate for a long time, after all, they felt that the snotty nose looked unattractive in the eyes of outsiders, so they finally turned around and greeted Meng Dongli and the three to rest in the mansion, and moved to the mansion to continue crying for a reunion.

Wang Zaian finally had a chance to touch Liu Qingyan, and talked with her in a low voice while supporting her on the road.Although I couldn't hear clearly, I could guess that I was probably speaking from the bottom of my heart.

I ordered my mule to be led to the stable in the back yard, and then I followed at the end of the crowd.Hey... It's a pity that no one pays attention to me, and forgets about me.

"This is where you used to live?" Chang Wenxia's voice rang in his ears again: "Well, it's not bad."

"Isn't it? But anyway, you won't be staying for a few more days, you don't need to study it." I whispered to myself, afraid of being heard, thinking that I, Chu Panniang, came back from the village and went crazy.

"How can I not take a closer look at the place where you lived, take me to see your house after dinner."

"You..." I was about to have a few words with Chang Wenxia, ​​but I heard the voices of my father and my brother approaching from far away...

"Oh, Panniang!! You are back!!!"

"Sister! Sister!!"

"Your father? Your brother?" Chang Wenxia asked me, I didn't even have the time to nod, and I was dragged to the backyard by two big men.

"Oh, my sister, people say you are dead, and my father and I made a memorial tablet for you and burn incense every day..." My brother said something that left me speechless until I burst into tears, and suddenly realized that it was very unlucky. Busily poohed a few times, and then said: "Today, Shuncai went to Zhenkou to pick up the second lady. After the report, the master came to tell us immediately, saying that you came back, so we knew that you were not dead."

"How could I die? Don't trust those gossips in the future." I twitched the corner of my mouth and watched the man pretend to cry, at least I got red eyes, and his acting skills were too bad.

"Oh, mother, please tell dad, have you been bullied on the mountain?" My dad grabbed my hand and dragged me to the gazebo in the corner of the backyard. There were still buckets and spoons beside the steps of the gazebo. It seems that he was still here watering the flowers just now, and when he knew I was back, he put down his work and came to find me.

In fact, it's really a little sweet, and finally these two relatives still miss me.I made up and told them what I encountered during the days when I went up the mountain, as if there was a female bandit on the mountain. The female bandit is actually a good person. The good person asked me to comb her hair every day, and I paid a lot of money for doing it. Summary It sounds like, the life in the gangster's den is really a lot of fun.

Chang Wenxia at the other end was very satisfied with what she heard, and she kept boasting: "Not bad, good, you're acquainted, Chu Panniang!" My father and my brother were so dumbfounded that their jaws almost fell to the ground, and they looked at each other , After much deliberation, I still felt that these words were unreliable. In the end, I just covered my forehead and howled bitterly: "Pan Niang, Pan Niang, why did that village torture you until your brain is broken!"

☆, 55 Rip off

My father and mother were all servants who sold themselves to the Liu family. According to the rules, they were not allowed to own their own real estate outside, and their children had to be servants of his family for three generations, unless the master was willing to let them go or redeem themselves with silver taels.The servants of the Liu family usually have three or five people in one room, and the bedding is thick and soft. It is said that the cost is the best among the servants in the town.Servants with a higher status or who have become families can have their own residences, which of course are within the scope of the mansion.

When my father and mother got married, Mr. Liu rewarded a big house. The two of them had a very close relationship, which attracted the envy of many people.Then they had my brother, and a year later they had me.My brother and I were moved out of the big house when we were six years old and were assigned to live with other people elsewhere.My elder brother is the fifth son's school boy, and I learn how to comb someone's hair with my mother every day.At that time, the women in the mansion said that I was talented and called me a little prodigy in combing hair.Look at this embarrassing name, it doesn't sound high-end at all. Even if you become a god, you can only comb people's hair. To put it bluntly, you are good at serving people and serving people.Later my mother died of illness, I remember crying for a long time.My father became a person again, fortunately Liu Yuanwai didn't take back the big house, so my brother moved in to live with my father.

This time when I came back, I heard that my elder brother married Yue He, and they had a son, who just gave birth a few days ago.Mr. Liu was assigned a small house, so now my brother and his wife live in the big house, and my father lives in the small house.

"Mother Pan, go and see your nephew in a while, the fat boy is in good spirits." My father said to me as he led me to the dining room, his words were filled with the joy of embracing his grandson.

"Yes, sister. In fact, your sister-in-law has always felt sorry for you, and even named the child Chu Apan..."

"Chu Apan?" I'll go, this name is too tasteless.

"It's to commemorate you... Hey, fortunately, you are still alive. It seems that you will have to change your name in two days."

"..."

I think Chang Wenxia must be out of state at this moment, otherwise it is impossible not to ridicule me.Fortunately, she is not here, so that my family will not be laughed at by her.

The two of them took me to the dining room for lunch. There were not many people in the dining room at the moment, and most of them went to the front hall to serve the owner. Come at this point.Uncle Luo, the cook, had time to sit down and chat with us. He was startled when he saw me, and knocked on the table and said that my life is hard, and if I survive a catastrophe, I will have a future blessing. me.This... They really regarded Baishui Village as a devil's lair, did they never return?

"Hey, the man is back..." My father sighed, not knowing where the regret came from.He tapped his temple: "It's a pity that my brain is not working well, so I just said good things about that female village master."

"Ah, it must be that the soul has been captured..." Wang Ma, who was cleaning the table next to her, hurriedly came to us with a rag, and said mysteriously: "Didn't you say that the female village owner knows magic spells? I think so." Give our Panniang to..." Wang Ma's eyes radiated a message similar to "you understand".

My father looked at me, and at Wang Ma's eyes of affirmation even though she was guessing blindly, and finally sighed again: "Hey, how can this be good? What a misfortune for the family!" But having said that, apart from the few words I babbled just now, in what way do I look like a person who has been captured?I really don't understand, my dear father...

A few people were surrounding me and staring at me, sweating all over my body when they looked at me alive, at this moment, a maid named Qingtao broke into the dining room suddenly, from the lady's room.She is a bit mean at a young age, and she is not a very nice person, and I don't have much interaction with her.When she saw me, she scolded me loudly: "Chu Panniang, why are you still eating here? Do you know how many people are looking for you right now?! Mrs. Madam told you to go to the front yard, and follow me quickly! It’s really about to rebel.”

Swallowing my breath, this is the way I'm used to in Liu's residence, talking less, thinking more, and full of rants, all I can hold back is seeming obedience.Some people say it's boring, I can admit it.

As Qingtao came to the front hall, Liu Yuanwai, Da Furen, Wang Zaian, Liu Qingyan and Meng Dongli were the only ones who were surprised. I don't know why they asked me to come?It must be something important, so it's not easy to tell outsiders.

"Chu Panniang has met Mrs. Madam." I bowed and saluted.

"You're here." It was Chang Wenxia's voice. It turned out that she had been looking at Liu Qingyan just now, and I was jealous. "Meng Dongli said that he is good at meeting people, so he can see that Liu Qingyan is still innocent. They called you here to prove what she said is true."

It turned out to be the case.

"Chu Panniang, after you and Qingyan were taken into captivity, you waited on the left and right every day and never left?" Yuanwai Liu took the main seat and spoke first.

"Master, that's right." With Chang Wenxia's reminder, I knew what to say, what not to say, what to explain, what to hide, and naturally, when to tell a little lie.

"Did the bandits on the mountain do anything wrong to you two?" Liu Yuanwai and the eldest lady looked at each other and asked again.

I looked at Meng Dongli out of the corner of my eye, she nodded slightly, as if she was speaking casually.I lowered my head and said submissively: "After being tied up to the mountain, the young lady was forced to marry Changzhaizhu. Fortunately, the young lady swore to die, so Changzhaizhu did not force us. He just locked us in the courtyard and was not allowed to go out."

As soon as my half-truth and half-false words came out, everyone on the field except Liu Qingyan and Meng Dongli showed a carefree expression like letting go of a boulder in their hearts.When Wang Zai felt relieved, he turned around and grabbed Liu Qingyan's hand, holding it in the palm of his hand. He was full of affection and wanted to speak, and the electrified autumn wave was sent crisply, as if to say, you are still the beautiful and holy snow lotus in my heart, snow lotus .Liu Qingyan lowered her head with a blushing face, seemingly shy, but the corners of her lowered mouth proved that her increasingly rosy cheeks did not come from pleasure.I think she was thinking of Zhang Ling'er, the woman who almost tied her body and love to her fingers.Thinking about facing the wall...

The few people got the answer that satisfied them, and finally got in the mood to eat, so they hurriedly recruited servants to lead the distinguished guests to the banquet.Meng Dongli bowed his hands to express his thanks, and then rushed to the luncheon with everyone, and when he passed by me, he said in her always unwavering voice: "Follow me."

Although I just ate some, and it's really impolite to follow along as a servant of the Liu Mansion, but it's rare for my master to speak up, so I can't let her go.I followed her closely, anyone should be able to see that the two of us are somehow related, and because of Daoist Meng's face, he didn't say much about me.

The luncheon was held in the waterside pavilion in the backyard. It is close to the water and the scenery is beautiful. When it comes to eating in this hot summer, this is the most appetizing place.The rest of the people had more or less already eaten, six wives, five young ladies, four young masters, as well as Chi Yi and Mo Huo, set up two tables full of chicken, duck and fish.On the water platform in the middle of the lake, there are silk and bamboo orchestras, singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Liu Yuanwai entered the table, raised his cup, and came up with an opening remark similar to a leader's speech.On his left is Liu Qingyan, and on the left is Wang Zaian.Except for the two of them, most of the people sitting at this table are elders, that is, Liu Yuanwai and his seven wives. Because of Meng Dongli's status as a distinguished guest, she sat at the same table with Liu Yuanwai and others, and I also sat on her seat foolishly. On the side, it seems particularly incongruous with this scene, even though I am wearing the high-end clothes that Chang Wenxia sent me spun into infinite silk.

Meng Dongli, my master, this beautiful Taoist nun always looks cold and alienated from others, but she is very good at dealing with such social occasions.She didn't eat much, she only picked some vegetarian food, which made me feel that she was a nun, not a Taoist nun, but she drank wine with an astonishingly frankness.In fact, I always felt that Mr. Liu looked at her in the wrong way. Although he was respectful and grateful in words, he always toasted her lewdly.

I don't know if these great gods who know the ways of immortality, Taoism, and demons can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I saw Meng Dongli receiving cups and toasting cups. The lady drank so much that she nearly rolled under the table.

"Meng Daochang, about the little girl, master, I... must... must thank you." Liu Yuanwai didn't know how many times he toasted Meng Dongli. From the beginning, there were only two of them. Creativity, I really don't know how he got so many wives, did he rely on money alone?

The corner of Meng Dongli's mouth was smiling, but the smile was cold. I could clearly feel that she was getting impatient.

"Mr. Liu wants to thank you, so the poor Taoist will just make a request."

Yuanwai Liu didn't expect her to make a request, so he opened his eyes wide and listened attentively, looking half sober from the wine.

"Is this the lion's mouth?" Chang Wenxia's lazy voice made me jump.But I couldn't agree more with that.

On the other side, Meng Dongli said: "Recently, the financial resources of the poor family are tight. Member Liu has a heart, so why not donate a few thousand taels of sesame oil."

"..." This is too straightforward.

"Okay!" Yuanwai Liu agreed very generously, and the moment he uttered this good word, he looked very handsome. "Later, master, I will order someone to prepare 5000 taels of silver bills and send them to the Taoist priest. It should also be a small effort for the noble sect in return for this life-saving grace."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Mr. Liu doesn't know. My Changkong Sect only accepts gold and not silver. The few thousand taels mentioned by the poor just now naturally refers to..." Meng Dongli didn't finish speaking, but she could hear her words. Everyone's complexions were unnatural, especially Liu Yuanwai, whose old face, which had been flushed from drunk just now, was pale and pale. It seemed that blood was dripping from his heart, which made him anemic.

Without waiting for everyone to give a response, Meng Dongli said again: "Also, the poor Taoist wants to ask for someone from the house..." She grabbed my hand that was holding the chicken wings with the chopsticks, and continued: "It is this person, She has a relationship with me as a teacher and apprentice."

Everyone just reacted from the sad reality of being brutally slaughtered, and then hurriedly looked at me inquiringly, wondering why I, the hair comber, became so attached to such an expert who can cheat.

Me, I feel like I'm going to be burnt to death by sight, Meng Dongli, I don't want you to be so deceitful! ! !

☆, 56 stays

No matter what happens, anyway, the whole family knows that I, Chu Panniang, and the second lady Liu Qingyan survived a catastrophe from a bandit den and were rescued by a noble and glamorous Taoist nun who only accepts gold, so I have to follow this beautiful Taoist nun again Wearing a Taoist robe and holding gossip to extort money everywhere.And everyone looked up and down, but they couldn't see that I was an ordinary person, at most, this trip seemed to be a little prettier than before, but I didn't become a peerless beauty. Where is the talent of being a Taoist nun? Fortunately, this Daoist Meng, who was able to return from the hands of Chang Wenxia, ​​the master of Baishui village with the legendary Buddha's light and supernatural power, took him into his apprenticeship.

My father patted his thigh when he heard this and wished he hadn't married me earlier, otherwise he would have grandchildren and grandchildren, and now he should be content to be an old gardener who has completed all the major goals of life and only cares about enjoying himself.But now, the only daughter is going to be a Taoist nun. It would not be nice to have a home at the age of double tenth, and it is not a decent thing to go to become a monk now.He has always felt that I did not do it voluntarily, and hated himself for being a prostitute, not to mention that his own life, even the lives of his children, cannot be decided , I can only be wronged.

In fact, I want to say why I wasn’t so considerate of me when I was sent to the Wang family as a dowry. Now no matter what I say, I feel like I’m forcing myself to be a Taoist nun willingly.

I no longer got involved with my father, turned around and said to go to see my nephew.Meng Dongli asked me to go to her room before dinner, so I'd better waste this afternoon on my little nephew, lest I be watched and discussed everywhere I go.

"Sister-in-law, let me come and see you." My brother led me to the big house where they lived.Opening the curtain, I saw Yue He was feeding the baby.She has always been delicate and lovely. Now that her son is the mother of a child, although her face looks haggard and bloated than before, she is more mature, with the tenderness of a young mother exuding all over her body.

"Hehe, where's your nephew?" Chang Wenxia had another voice from outside the world, and his tone was calm.I flicked my eyes at the sky, reminding her that some things should be blinded by eyes.She immediately waved the white flag and surrendered: "Okay, it's okay if you don't look at it, I just listen and meditate."

"Pan Niang, you are back, sit down quickly." Yue He raised her head and whispered to me, smiling gently and kindly.In fact, I don't know her well at all, because she was originally Liu Qingyan's personal maid, and my errands in Liu's residence did not include combing Liu Qingyan's hair, so I basically didn't have much contact with the people in their courtyard.But I know from Liu Qingyan that Yue He is three years younger than me. When I think of such a young girl who has taken on the important task of carrying on the family line, I really admire her, even if it is the dowry before. up.But thinking about it the other way around, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have met Chang Wenxia, ​​and I wouldn't have gotten this obscene love, just like now, I'll keep throwing my eyes out in exchange for a sentence: "Aren't you watching too?"

I moved my eyes away from my nephew's mouth, and moved to Yue He's face, while sitting on the stool beside her, I said: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Yuehe glanced at the child, and her smile became thicker: "Okay, good morning, your brother took good care of me. By the way, Chunniu told me that you are going to become a monk? Hey, the child just saw my aunt , you are about to leave again, when I heard that you and Miss were snatched by bandits, I was so worried that I couldn’t eat or sleep.”

"Isn't it good now? It's okay to become a monk. If there is a chance in the future, I will come back and meet my nephew. Maybe, by then, my nephew will have younger brothers and sisters." I greeted her.

"I really want to have it, but it's just that when I'm born, it's the life of the current people. I'm afraid I'm sorry for them." She had already had such thoughts at a young age, and she was really precocious.I didn't know how to comfort her, because what she said was not unreasonable, so I stopped talking about it.

"Hehe, look at what I'm talking about. Come, give you a hug." The child let go after feeding, and Yue He hugged him, and lowered his head to tidy up his clothes.

"Don't watch it!!!" Well, you should know who said it.I turned to look at my nephew, his eyes were closed, there were still milk stains around his mouth, his two tender little hands were clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, as if trying to grasp life.

"He looks like your brother. Dad said your brother looked like this when he was a child." Yue He said to me after fastening her belt.

"It does look alike." In fact, I didn't see the reason at all. I think most people are as ignorant of their conscience as I am when they point to babies and say who they look like.

I stayed in the big house until Youshi, until my brother brought food to Yuehe.I got up to say goodbye, and went to the wing room that the housekeeper had arranged for Meng Dongli, thinking about where I should stay tonight all the way.Because of the dowry, my bed was already occupied by someone, and now I don’t see anyone arranging a place for me when I come back. It’s really the author’s little transparency, oh little transparency.

"Hey, I often ask Xia, are you there?" I walked on the water promenade in the courtyard and saw no one around, so I tried to talk to her.

"Yes, I'm eating." While chewing something, she asked vaguely, "Did you miss me?"

"Well, I want to." I said bluntly, and her chewing sound stopped, as if surprised.

"Eh? You said, what did Meng Dongli ask me to do?" As soon as I asked this question, she started to babble again: "Maybe it's about the itinerary, um, today's fragrant dried shredded pork is not bad. "

"Don't tempt me." I snorted, and said again: "I always feel that Meng Dongli doesn't like me, what should I do?"

"How do you know she doesn't like you? Oh, by the way, you are neither a shocking talent, nor have you bribed her, nor are you a relative of an important official, but you were forced by me, a butterfly monster. Judging from this situation , and I really can't like you." She said coolly over there, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"Chang Wen Xia, you still have the nerve to analyze it for me. After all, it's not because of you. How can you be worthy of me?" I gritted my teeth as I walked slowly.She didn't feel any guilt at all, she just said: "You have to believe in yourself and work harder in the future, genius is 90.00% inspiration plus [-]% sweat."

"I'll go, isn't that what Edison said?"

"Oh, I heard it when I spied on your previous life. Although it doesn't make sense, it's good to comfort a fool."

I don't think she needs to say the second half of the sentence anyway, it's really cheap.

Going around and walking through the winding corridors, chatting with Chang Wenxia all the way, and finally arrived at Meng Dongli's residence in a lively manner.The wing room is a first-class, two-bedroom room, and guests of honor are always arranged.The door of the house was wide open, but there was no one inside.I walked in, only took three steps, and then I heard Meng Dongli's calm voice from the back room: "Pan Niang, come in."

I wasn't surprised by her foresight, anyway, it's not unusual for such people to do anything.Opening the silk curtain leading to the back room, Meng Dongli was sitting on the couch meditating, with his eyes closed and his body wrapped in white mist.

"Master..." I called her tentatively, feeling a little embarrassed because this was the first time I called her Master.

"You can't call me Master yet." She closed her work, opened her eyes, and the white mist retracted into her body without a trace. "You haven't performed the ceremony of apprenticeship to me yet, so we are not masters and apprentices yet."

"The gift of apprenticeship? Then...then I will...?" I was flustered by her big black eyes, and I was afraid of her even before I became a master.

She shook her head, still expressionless: "The apprenticeship ceremony needs to be held at the door, and all members of the school will participate at that time. You have to serve tea to me and the master, and perform the ceremony of bowing down. I will give you a magic weapon, and when the gift is completed, you will be my disciple of Meng Dongli, and you will be able to learn the basic Taoism."

"The whole sect? Then... Daoist Meng..." I seem to be able to call her that: "How many people are there in the Changkong Sect?"

"520 eight people."

"Five...520, so many?" Five hundred people looked at me as a teacher, this... this is too scary!

Meng Dongli seemed to see my uneasiness, and explained: "Among the eight people in 520, there are only two or three hundred people who can come to participate, and they have all traveled far away. Besides, most of the people in the door are your nephews, so there is no need Worrying too much."

"Oh... what about the dao name? Can I choose it in advance?" I really want to know what kind of name I will be named in the three worlds in the future, but don't be someone who is insulated and loved. My sister still has to ask Chang Summer is long and long.

"You will be the generation of An in the future. What you will be called depends on the head of the sect..." Meng Dongli paused, and then continued: "It's a temporary use. But the Taoist name is just for the convenience of arranging the genealogy of the sect. Yes, you are usually referred to by layman’s first and last name, if you like, you can also report your Taoist name to outsiders, fearing that the enemy will be more ruthless when they hear that you are the descendant of Changkongmen An’s generation..."

"Oh no no no..." I waved my hands quickly: "I'll just call you Chu Panniang. Then when shall we go back to apprentice?"

"I can't go back for a while. The purpose of bringing people out this time is to raise gold. If you can't raise 3 taels, it's not easy to go back."

There is such a thing? ? ?I go! ! !

"Then how many are there now..."

"Including the donation from Member Liu today, there is still a shortfall of 3000 taels."

Fortunately, it's only one-tenth of the difference, soon, although I can't earn 3000 taels of gold in a few lifetimes.

"Meng Daoist, I have an unfeeling request." I remembered what Liu Qingyan said, and said, "I want to wait until the second lady is married before leaving."

After hearing what I said, Meng Dongli got out of bed while thinking about it, and said, "The next auspicious day is the third day of the next lunar month, and there are still [-] days left. Do you really want to wait?"

I comforted her with her understanding, and hurriedly nodded seriously.

"Well, let's stay here for a while." Seeing my sincerity, she agreed, took the whisk and led me out, and then said again: "Speaking of which, when I was just meditating, I noticed a faint smell in Linzhen. It’s just that the town is poor and no one can afford the price, so I didn’t plan to deal with it. Now you’re staying here for [-] days, so let me go and have a look, and I’ll get to know you better, after all, it’s your future something to learn."

☆、57 Qiwu Town

In the end, I slept in the same room and bed with the little Taoist Chiyi. For this reason, Chang Wenxia almost ran away on the other side, shouting "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"Although I sympathize with her mood, she should also be sympathetic to my situation, she can't let me sleep in the yard.Besides, little Taoist Aunt Chiyi and I can't do anything, on the contrary, we can enhance the relationship between the same sect and inquire about some gossip.

When the little nun first appeared on the stage, I really felt very bad. If I remember correctly, I wanted to slap her.Now that I have been with her for a long time, I find that she is a nice girl, although sometimes she has a quick mouth and a bad heart, but she is good.

At night, she told me: "I'm eighteen years old this year. Really, I'm different from my uncle and uncle." I asked her why she was different, and she replied, "Master Mo Huo is 330 years old this year. At the early stage of Yuanying. As for the master uncle, it is said that she is more than 2000 years old, and she is a master in the middle stage of fusion. The two of them are at the same age. After taking Dingyan Pill, they maintained their youthful appearance. You are honest. Unreal?"

In fact, I couldn't figure out what period she was talking about, and I could only understand a few figures in the fog, and I was surprised that the age of the two people was so high.Chi Yi looked at me in a daze, so she took out a book and asked me to read it myself.I saw that the word "beginner" was written in that book, and I reckoned that in the future I would be able to get a lot of money if I became a teacher.After reading the first few pages, I realized that mortal cultivation here is divided into nine realms, which are the foundation-building stage, the consecration stage, the golden elixir stage, the nascent soul stage, the out-of-body stage, the distraction stage, the fusion stage, and the tribulation-crossing stage. period, Mahayana period.Each of the nine realms is divided into early stage, middle stage, and late stage. Sometimes, even if two people are separated by only one stage, the difference in strength can be hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Then how long do I have to practice before I can live forever?" I asked the most realistic question before my eyes.

"Theoretically speaking, if a Nascent Soul is formed in the body, that is to say, at the Nascent Soul stage, one can live forever. At that time, even if the body is destroyed, as long as the Nascent Soul is still there, there will be a chance of recovery." Chi Yi Please explain to me patiently.

"That is to say, if I don't reach the Nascent Soul stage in the next six to seventy years, I will be useless?"
