Taoist endowment

Chapter 72

The thatched cottage behind Ji Huan has a unique style, which is very different from the blue brick and tile houses in other villagers' homes.

The courtyard is not big, but the location is well chosen. The thatched hut is backed by the bamboo forest and surrounded by the stream in front. Coupled with the mountain scenery after the rain at this time, it can give people a sense of painting without talking about the stream and bamboo, and in front of the lonely mountain. .

This cottage was built by Ji Huan and the two guards after seven days of hard work.

In the process of building the thatched hut, Ji Huan was surprised to find that he had the talent of a craftsman, which filled the heart of this noble man who had never worked before with surprise and wonder.

When the thatched hut was built, Ji Huan stood outside the courtyard, looking at this small house that seemed to be integrated with the bamboo forest and the stream scenery, the sense of accomplishment in his heart was even greater than the satisfaction of calculating people's hearts and fulfilling his wishes. Come strong.
"My lord, it's time for dinner." The short guard came to Ji Huan and called out softly. Seeing that Ji Huan didn't answer, he followed the master's gaze. Upon seeing it, the short guard couldn't help swallowing. saliva.

But the villagers at the dining hall in the village were cheering and waiting for their meal. The cauldron placed under the hall was lifted at this moment, and the tempting smell of meat was coming out. In a short time, the whole village was filled with the fragrance, which could be smelled even in the thatched cottage at the corner of the village.

"Ugh!"

Ji Huan sighed again, took a funny look at his loyal guard leader, got up and turned back to the thatched cottage.

Three masters and servants cannot go to the canteen in the village, and they will not prepare their meals there. Fortunately, the two guards are masters, and they both wandered in the rivers and lakes in their early years, so they can cook some simple meals.

Relying on the mountain and eating the mountain, the two guards take turns going up the mountain every day to hunt some pheasants and hares, and Ji Huan himself will happily go to the bamboo forest to dig some fresh bamboo shoots that the villagers look down on, so there is nothing to worry about in the cottage. Ingredients.

It's just that the guard's cooking skills are really not good, and it's far less delicious than the meat cooked in a big pot by Aunt Cheng.

Ji Huan is not someone who is greedy for food and drink, the reason why he just sat in a daze at the gate of the courtyard is because the half-year agreement with the master of Xianyun Temple made him still clueless at this time.

After half a month of getting along, although the villagers are no longer that hostile towards him, most of them will have a cold gaze and an expression of refusal when they meet each other.

On the contrary, a few middle-aged girls in the village seemed to have a good impression of him, and would say a few words to him with blushing faces.

Every time Ji Huan thought about it, he would shake his head and smile wryly. His majestic Seventh Prince unexpectedly had a few village girls who were willing to take care of him because of his relatively good birth.

With a sad face, he ate a few mouthfuls of fresh and tender fat bamboo shoots, but they were tasteless.

In the past, Ji Huan didn't dare to use any of the skillful methods that he picked up at the court at random, and he was unwilling to use them at this time. After I came down, when I sat quietly at night and reflected on the past, I suddenly felt that my actions in the past seemed to lack a sense of grandeur.

"I used to be plagued by illnesses, and I always wanted to do more for the royal family and the world in the few days left, so I used the fastest method to achieve my goal.

But now that the body is expected to recover and the pride in the chest has risen, after this time of introspection, it is natural to sweep away all the ghosts and haze in my heart! "Thinking of this, Ji Huan couldn't help clenching his fists.

On the top of the back mountain of Funiu Mountain, Chen Jingyun, Nie Wanniang, Yuan Hua, and Ji Ling were standing on the branches of several still green cypress trees.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the clothes of the four were fluttering, so leisurely.

On the open space under the tree, Nie Fengming and Cheng Shi were sweating profusely and panting like cows, but their eyes were still full of fighting spirit, as if they were fighting extremely happily.

Chen Jingyun couldn't help being excited when he saw the excitement of the disciples' battle, and he gave some pointers from time to time, while Yuan Hua and Ji Ling kept applauding for the two senior brothers, and they didn't know who they were helping.

Nie Wanniang looked at her younger brother and third junior brother who were fighting hard with each other, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Before she knew it, the two of them also had the strength to attack the realm of rank four and obtain their own dao titles.

My younger brother Nie Fengming has been stubborn since he was a child, and has the most righteous ideas. He always keeps a serious face on weekdays, making it hard for people to see what is going on in his heart. He only shows his true nature in front of his master and himself. .

The third brother Cheng Shi has the purest mind. He eats when he should eat, sleeps when he should sleep, and only thinks about practicing when he should practice.
The master also likes him the most. It is often said that he is "a child with a pure heart and a single heart", and his future achievements will not be small.

Thinking of this, Nie Wanniang smiled. Ji Ling once asked Master why he was careful?The master was so annoyed by being entangled that he had to quietly tell his junior sister that if you put your heart into it, it is what the saying goes.
This was overheard by Nie Wanniang.

It is said that good opponents are hard to find, but aren't Nie Fengming and Cheng Shi two natural good opponents?
Both of them practiced the same technique, and their state was also the same. At this time, when the battle reached the happiest point, they both let out bursts of long howls like a dragon's chant, and the aura around them rose again, stirring up a hundred feet around them. The giant tree bent down and the mountain rocks collapsed. If Chen Jingyun hadn't circulated his spiritual energy to prevent the aftermath from leaking out, the top of the mountain would have been lifted off by a layer!
When the momentum of the two climbed to the peak, Nie Fengming and Cheng Shi landed their feet on the ground at the same time, and then they both punched out violently!
This punch was made silently, the aura, qi and blood were all restrained, it was in harmony with the martial arts essence of the great sound and the invisible sound, and the invisible elephant.

In the blink of an eye, Nie Fengming and Cheng Shi's fists faced each other suddenly. The two were expressionless at first, but pain appeared on their faces for a moment.

In Yuan Hua's and Ji Ling's eyes, a wave of dizziness first spread across the two senior brothers' fists, and then they heard a loud "Boom!", which made the whole mountain tremble a few times.

When I looked around, I saw the withered and yellow leaves on the mountain falling one after another, the trees could no longer hold the leaves, and all of them turned into bare poles in a blink of an eye, and the beautiful autumn scenery in the mountains was destroyed like this.
Seeing how powerful the punches of the two senior brothers were, Ji Ling couldn't help sticking out his tongue secretly, while Yuan Hua's eyes were shining brightly, and the two were about to clap their hands and applaud, but suddenly found The two senior brothers who were separated were sitting there cross-legged motionless at this moment, and it seemed that something was wrong.

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look at the master and senior sister, and saw that the master had a wider smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the state of the two senior brothers, while the senior sister had a happy and worried expression.

Yuan Hua and Ji Ling were also overjoyed when they saw this, and they jumped up to check it out, but they were sucked back by a strong force in mid-air, and Master said in their ears: "Your second and third senior brothers are here At this time, one foot has stepped into the fourth turn, so don't disturb it."

Yuan Hua and Ji Ling silenced their voices immediately when they heard the words, leaving only the rustling sound of yellow leaves rolling in the autumn wind
