A Beginner's Guide to Magic

"Let's eat, let's eat, let's eat!"

Holding a big gong and drum, Ah Jiu walked all over the mountains and plains, and every time he saw a fellow disciple, he yelled loudly in people's ears: "Master is cooking today! Come back soon!"

As for the fellow students, when they heard that it was Master and his old man cooking, all of them suddenly lost their fighting spirit, their ideals in life, and the motivation to move forward. They wished they could turn into snails and crawl back to the dining hall.

No one on Wanzhang Peak likes Master.

There are several long scars on the master's face, and he grows a beard that is neither long nor short. When he looks at people directly, his eyes are fierce, and the corners of his mouth are drooping downwards. It seems that he is born with a fierce and bitter look. Make trouble in front of him.

Just like that, the senior brother also said that the master must have been a handsome guy when he was young.The people on the mountain have always listened to his words, only this sentence, they don't believe it at all.

Although the second senior brother said that he took the lead in not liking the master, and was tortured by him, he did not know how many times he pierced the doll hidden under the pillow with a needle, but he still defended him in private: "You are all orphans picked up by the master, Not to mention anything else, at least this kind of nurturing grace will have to be repaid for a lifetime."

A large circle of people sighed, as if they saw the end of their own life in advance, and some people said, "Oh, can you let Master fall into the cesspit once, and let me catch him once, so as to offset the kindness of each other?"

Somehow, these words reached Master's ears. It is said that Master was very moved. Later, the one who spoke was punished to stand on his head and walk for three months.

Logically speaking, since the second senior brother learned to cook on Wanzhang Peak, all members voted in private, and Shen Yunkai was popularly expected, so he has been in charge of cooking for many years, rain or shine.

Why is it changed to master cooking today?

The master didn't say a word with a cold face, and served the disciples sitting in the dining hall. For some reason, the faces of these dolls were extremely ashen. Looking at the "delicious food" in front of them, they were silent, and the atmosphere of the whole dining hall Like a morgue, the summer actually looks a bit cold.

The second senior brother and the senior senior brother stood at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, wearing red and green, one with a blue face and one with a pale face, an old monk whose eyes seemed to be indifferent to human affairs, and greeted every junior who entered the door with a "welcome" posture Shimei.

There is no other reason, only what these two people have always done: fighting.

Eldest brother used to like practicing swords the most, and he was not very keen on Gu poison. He liked to compete when he saw people, and he once beat twelve without losing the wind.But one time, he accidentally picked the second senior brother from the top of the big tree in front of everyone. I don't know what he was thinking about, so he restrained his admiration for swordsmanship, and sat down patiently to study poison refining.

Besides cooking, the second senior brother is best at refining Gu. He often sits alone in a small room and stews something.However, he has never accidentally put poison into the rice cooker.

These two people often fight back and forth on the mountain, either bickering or poisoning, or fighting poison while bickering. The fierceness of the battle is so fierce that the juniors and younger sisters often forget to eat and sleep to observe, which leads to a large circle of starvation and fainting on the mountain. .

This time, it was probably one of the two of them who "accidentally" smeared the poisonous powder on the edge of Master's tea bowl during the fight, or for some other reason. This is the punishment.

After the last disciple walked into the dining hall, the master's deep voice floated slowly from the room: "You two, eat last."

Very good.Tears welled up in the corners of the senior brother's and second senior brother's eyes, this time it was really worth it.

The master sat at the top, straightened his back, stared at the bowl of dark rice on the table, seemed to be very satisfied, then raised his hand and said: "Eat."

No one else in the room dared to breathe.

People slowly picked up their chopsticks, turned over the objects in the bowl, and picked out something that looked edible, but half a stick of incense passed, and no one found a trace of appetizing items.

I don’t know who sobbed softly, as if starting a head, and the others also choked up. Someone’s voice floated faintly from the corner and floated in front of Master: "... Is our Wanzhang Peak There is no food left."

The master seemed to be grinding his teeth, coughed twice, and stopped all the crying.

He thought to himself, is it so unpalatable?He took the lead and put a chopstick tip into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and put down the chopsticks after savoring carefully.

People were afraid to look at him, but their ears were pricked up.

The master sighed, and raised his voice to the two people outside the room: "You two, come in and have a taste."

Senior brother's forehead was sweating, and he glanced at Shen Yunkai, who was still sulking, and saw that he had no expression on his face, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, as if he was a senior brother, and walked into the room first.

When the children saw the figures of these two people, they seemed to see a savior, and their eyes were shining.

The elder brother slowly floated in front of the master, ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, grabbed the master's chopsticks, picked up something that looked most like food on the chopsticks, tasted it, and fell silent.

Salty with bitterness, spicy with sweetness, all kinds of food are burnt and rich, obviously fried.

There is also a sour smell coming out of nowhere, which makes the whole taste especially wonderful, as if this one bite tastes the whole life.

Isn't this taste more powerful than poison?

The senior brother turned sideways, gave up his position to the second senior brother, and offered the chopsticks in front of him.

The second senior brother also took a sip and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how many people's eyes are gathered here, the world changes color, the vegetation dries up, and everything is peaceful.

"I understand." The second senior brother said.

"What did you understand?" asked the elder brother.

"Master's talent is beyond our complacency." The second senior brother glanced at him lightly, and then said in a tone that could die with anyone immediately: "It's no wonder that Master can be the leader of a peak. I understand, from now on From now on, I will work harder, and sooner or later I will overturn your drug, and finally take power alone."

Then the two apprentices started bickering, making the whole room look like a vegetable market at the foot of the mountain, all kinds of messy words and logic came out.

"You can eat this, you are a pervert!"

"Can't you eat it too? Before, Master asked us to sharpen our will and squat in the latrine to eat wide noodles with sesame sauce. Aren't you the one who ate it with gusto?"

"I threw up after eating!"

"Then you eat too!"

"You didn't eat?"

"I swear at people while eating!"

"Okay, you dare to scold Master, you are quite courageous."

"What did I say to tell you that I scolded Master? I scolded you!"

"Why scold me?"

"Because your food is so delicious!"

The two were very clever and did not discuss the matter as it stands, avoiding the topic of being beaten up by the master, and launched a desperate contest around the past.

After the master had heard enough, he finally interrupted: "Okay, now I know what you two mean, from now on, Yun Kai will cook the meal."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could escape from the sea of ​​suffering, but the master suddenly added: "However, today's meal must be finished."

The huge dining hall was suddenly filled with mourning.

That night, the eldest brother came out of the hut and was going to the row of small bungalows where he lived. On a summer night, not only insects chirped on the treetops not far away, but also birds chirped. Mottled, he walked forward stepping on bits of broken light, clutching his stomach, and suddenly felt that these years seemed to be survivable.

Then I saw Master's figure at the door of the house.

The elder brother turned his face away and left.

"I saw you." Master's voice was cold.

"Haha, isn't this your old man, Master! It's been so long since I've missed you, what's the point of coming here today?" The elder brother immediately put on a smiling face, jumped over and hugged Master's shoulders, he A few years ago, I was as tall as Master, so there is no pressure in this way.

The master gave him a sideways glance, and the elder brother quickly retracted his bold arm, and stood two steps away from him obediently, waiting for instructions.

Master cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, you and Yun Kai remember to take good care of the children."

The eldest brother asked, "Where are you going and when will you be returning?"

"I don't know." The master said indifferently: "I have already explained to Yunkai, and I will leave in a while. You are a senior brother, you must set an example."

Then you are still the master, the oldest person on the mountain is older than me and the second junior brother combined, cooking like poison for an old man, I have never seen you set an example.The elder brother swallowed this sentence, and replied cautiously: "Okay."

The two of them, master and apprentice, had nothing to talk about.Even though Eldest Senior Brother is the closest person to him on the mountain, he doesn't often communicate with him, because Master has his own world, and it seems that he has suffered from some kind of heart disease on Wanzhang Peak before, and he doesn't like to talk to others.

The master turned his head sharply, walked a few steps, and stopped the elder brother again.

The master's eyes stayed on the elder brother, watching him quietly.

The elder brother thought to himself, if you say some sad parting poems at this time, I will spit on you.

Fortunately, Master is not the type to recite poems and write poems against others, so he just watched quietly for a while, then casually mentioned the past: "...you are very similar to someone I know, if he knows you, he will definitely be able to have sex with you very good friend."

picture?Could it be that he is also a time traveler?The eldest brother became suspicious and asked, "Where is that person?"

"Dead." The master ended the conversation cleanly and concisely, and finally dropped a sentence: "It has been many years." Then he turned and left, leaving no time for the senior brother to ask questions.

Nervous.The elder brother turned his face and walked back to the house.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he sensed someone else's aura in the room, but he didn't feel the murderous intent, so he walked towards the bed calmly, and when he lifted the quilt, there were three or four people lying on the bed sideways. Looking from the top, there is actually one propped up in each of the four corners, and the wooden board on the water tank was removed, and there was a second junior brother who was wet sitting inside, and said coldly: "Isn't there no water in your water tank all the time?" Is it?"

The senior brother met his gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't have time to pour the footwashing water last night, so I put it in the water tank..."

Seeing that the second senior brother's face turned green, he flew out of the water tank with one stride, and returned to his yard at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye.

The elder brother was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, but he actually made it up.

The children hiding in his room quickly came out from every corner and surrounded him. There were more than 20 of them in a rough count. The elder brother picked one and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Master will be away for a long time." The little disciple smiled and said, "Is it true!"

The big brother nodded.

There were bursts of cheerful voices erupting in the room, which aroused the ears of the elder brother, and he quickly stopped him: "But you still have to do morning exercises every day."

The happy people quickly halved.

"However," the senior brother deliberately left a suspense: "The second senior brother will come over in a while and will tell you a piece of good news."

As soon as the voice fell, a red guy rushed towards the door, full of anger, he punched him, was hurriedly flashed by the senior brother, and the two started a fierce fight in the room, others cheered and cheered, it seems that this night , there is no rest on Wanzhang Peak.

"Second brother, second brother." Someone hugged Shen Yunkai's thigh: "Brother said you want to tell us a good news, tell us quickly!"

The people around were chattering and shouting.

The second senior brother glanced at the senior senior brother, restrained his posture, and said seriously: "In the future, you will not be limited to learning poison refining, and you can choose what you want to learn."

"Then I want to learn embroidery!"

"I want to be a chef!"

"I want to be a boar!"

......

"Stop, stop!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, the senior brother quickly stopped him: "Write an application form tonight and hand it to Yunkai before tomorrow night. You must write clearly the reasons and specific goals for this business. As long as it is reliable, we will definitely do it." Passed. Except for swordsmanship and poison refining, the other options can only be self-study from books temporarily, but we will try our best to meet your requirements... Do you know why I can't go down the mountain? Sixteen, you say .”

Sixteen honestly replied word by word: "Because each of us has poisonous blood, and if we accidentally come into contact with other people, it will endanger society."

"That's right." The senior brother nodded, rubbed his hair, then turned around and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to hear me tell a story?"

One by one, the slightly immature hands were raised one after another.

The second senior brother found out the account book from nowhere, and he was already frowning. He licked the nib of the pen, not knowing what to write, and looked up at the senior senior brother, hesitant to speak.

When the sky lightened up slightly, more than half of the senior brother had already lay down beside him, and the rest were exhausted. Even the blink of an eye was slow and nostalgic. It seems that Shiliu's arms are held very tightly, and it is not easy to pull.

He gently moved out of the room, looked back at the situation in the room, it seemed that he could only go to Yunkai's room to catch up on sleep.

As soon as he walked into Fang Neighbor's room, the second brother's table was still lit with wax, and he hadn't slept all night.

However, the second senior brother has always been born with beauty, not only is he handsome, he doesn't have any dark circles on his face after staying up all night, except for the bloodshot eyes, he looks full of energy and vitality.

But the elder brother was not interested in this, he went straight to the bed, sat down unceremoniously, kicked off his shoes, and rolled himself into the quilt, quietly, as if dead.

Not long after I closed my eyes, the voice of the second senior brother Qing Lingling came from next to my ears: "Now you and I have a big responsibility on our shoulders, are you satisfied?"

After a while, the elder brother's voice was as angry as silk: "...It seems that you didn't mention this matter first."

The second senior brother snorted coldly, and said: "I want to win people's hearts, and finally usurp power and position, and bring you and master down together."

"Really?" Eldest brother turned over and sat up: "You really hate me so much?"

The second senior brother didn't answer, just dipped in the ink lightly, and was busy on the table.

Seeing that he ignored him, the elder brother continued after a while, "You had so many chances to kill me before, if you are really full of resentment towards me, why didn't you strike earlier?"

The second senior brother still didn't speak.

"Hey, Yunkai, I'm serious." The elder brother stared blankly at the bed curtain, reached out to scoop up the peonies embroidered on it, and said slowly: "Let's make up, don't keep fighting."

The second senior brother still didn't speak.

"Master is gone now... I always have a premonition that once he leaves, he will never come back." The senior brother beat his chest, and after staying up all night, his heart was full of panic. : "From now on, it's the two of us who will support the sect. We must be twisted into one rope to work hard, right?"

He chattered a lot, but the second senior brother didn't respond.

"Clouds open, clouds open?"

The elder brother yelled twice, but the other party was still indifferent, so he got out of bed to take a look, and sure enough, as he expected, when he said something, this man had already gone to meet Duke Zhou first.

He sighed, picked up the person horizontally, carried him over and placed him on the inside of the bed, then lay himself outside again, turned the quilt upside down, and covered it horizontally, just enough to cover two people.

Before Lu Yang closed his eyes, he vaguely realized that this might be his last day to sleep peacefully.

However, he has never regretted the path he chose, it was in the past, and it will be in the future.

So what, the road ahead is bright, just go ahead.
