Chapter 106 Reunion with the Master
Chapter 106 Reunion with Master Reunion
In front of the Moon Viewing Platform, the retreat cave of Master Mu Yuan was indeed showing signs of opening. Everyone set up a formation to protect the Dharma, and the head of the sect stood in front, pacing left and right.
At the end, he waved his hand and asked all the disciples under Mu Yuan to stand in front.
Chao Jianxue was very uneasy. He didn't know whether the master's retreat would go smoothly, what he would say when he saw him, and what he should say. His heart was in turmoil, and he was very nervous, even more nervous than the first time he killed a demon.
Finally, the cave was opened, and Master Mu Yuan came out in a white robe.
Qiu Shui cried and rushed forward: "Master!"
Chao Jianxue was also very excited and wanted to step forward, but he suddenly felt timid and shrank back.
Mu Yuan's temples were white, and his face was still the same as they remembered, but Chao Jianxue used to feel more majesty from that face, but now when he looked at it, he found that it was more kind.
He looked at them with a gentle gaze, and said with a smile: "I have also been in seclusion for decades before, and everyone cried so hard."
Mu Yuan looked at Chao Jianxue and waved to him. Chao Jianxue finally jumped over, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "Master, I'm back."
His eyes were wet, and he blinked twice, and tears fell from his eyelashes.
"Mahayana period?" Mu Yuan said in surprise.
The head of the sect said: "Your two disciples are already in the Mahayana period. As a master, you are the only one who is lucky enough."
Mu Yuan looked at Yu Wei in the back. He was completely different from the disciple in his arms who was crying and snotting. At this time, he stood there, with jade in the piles of stones and green pines, and he was pure and noble like no one else. He laughed: "Yu Wei, come here too."
Yu Wei's mind moved, and he came forward, and was also embraced by Mu Yuan. He was startled.
Master Mu Yuan patted Yu Wei and Chao Jianxue on the shoulders and said with relief: "Even if you are not in the Mahayana stage, you are all doing well."
Yu Wei looked a little stunned. It was the first time he was hugged by an elder like this. It turned out to be like this.
Being trusted and recognized, it doesn't matter if you don't do your best, you will still be tolerated and loved.
He was very close to Chao Jianxue, and he saw his smiling eyes when he turned his head. Yu Wei's lips curled up and whispered: "Thank you, Master."
Mu Yuan was shocked when he learned about Qishan. He was Qishan's fellow disciple, and he didn't know that he and Ying Xiange had such a past. He only knew that the two were close friends.
There were still chess pieces left by the two of them on the pavilion of Guanyuetai, but now everything has changed and there is no end.
The headmaster comforted him and said, "All things, you and I, will die one day. Let's be more open-minded."
Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "I am too dull to see that my senior brother has such thoughts. It's a pity. In this case, has the big demon in Fumo Pass been completely dissipated?" "
Your two disciples and Ziwei Yuanjun were all involved in this matter. They and Qishan worked together to kill the big demon." The headmaster said.
"I see," although it was so, Mu Yuan was still worried, "The big demon is cunning and it is not so easy to kill. Otherwise, several true immortals would not have worked together to seal it a thousand years ago. You still have to be careful."
The headmaster nodded: "You are right, I will discuss with other sects and make sure there is no future trouble."
"Uncle..." Mu Yuan said suspiciously.
Knowing what he was worried about, the headmaster curled his lips and stroked his long beard: "I will not care about your disciple anymore. The road of a half-demon is difficult. If he really wants to break through, let him break through. Anyway, you have the mess to clean up now."
Mu Yuan smiled.
"Uncle Master, that's not true."
"But I think the kid named Yu is a little dangerous. He has always been different from other disciples. As the master, you should also take good care of him." The headmaster reminded again.
Mu Yuan said, "Of course."
At the same time, the two "dangerous" people in the headmaster's door were tinkering in the back kitchen of the Wuwei Sect's canteen.
Chao Jianxue pinched his hand, and his palm was immediately sticky with dough, wet and sticky. He shook his head: "Add some more flour to me."
Yu Wei obediently poured some, and white dust flew.
This time, Chao Jianxue used all his strength to knead it, and the blue veins on his arm bulged. He thought his hair was in the way, so he asked Yu Wei to tie it up. Yu Wei hesitated: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go wash my hands."
"No, it's already stained with flour. I'll go wash my hair later." Chao Jianxue leaned his head over carelessly, so Yu Wei clapped his hands and helped him tie up his hair. After tying it, Chao Jianxue wailed again: "It's dry again. Add some more water."
Yu Wei added more water.
"... Add flour."
Add flour.
"I still need to add some water, a little bit..."
Add water.
In this way, adding flour when wet and adding water when dry, Chao Jianxue repeated the action. Finally, the dough in Chao Jianxue's hand changed from the size of a palm to the size of an entire chopping board. Finally, a delicate balance of water and flour was achieved, neither dry nor wet.
The cook in the kitchen came in and took a look, feeling distressed, and went out with a face full of sorrow.
Chao Jianxue rolled up his sleeves, bit his lips and flipped the dough with a bang. Yu Wei was ordered not to intervene, and watched quietly with bright eyes. It was the first time he saw his brother do this wonder, and he didn't want to miss it.
Chao Jianxue was thin in his clothes, but as a sword cultivator, he must not be skinny and powerless.
His exposed arms were slightly bulging with thin muscles, but his skin was white. The gold ring on his arm was already tight, and now it was pinching the flesh, making it look even more tight. But he was unaware of this and just focused on kneading the dough. Yu Wei's Adam's apple rolled and he forced himself to look at the dough.
The dough was torn into several small pieces. Chao Jianxue began to see the dawn of victory and started to knead the noodles with all his strength.
Although the noodles were uneven in thickness and crooked, they were at least in the shape of noodles.
Yu Wei also rolled up his sleeves and helped him knead them.
"Brother, why did you suddenly want to do it yourself?" Yu Wei asked.
They had agreed to have a simple meal together today to celebrate the master's coming out of seclusion and the reunion of the master and the sect.
But Chao Jianxue was still holding back his own little thoughts. He smiled slyly and said, "This is a kind gesture."
When Nanshan arrived, the noodles were already in the pot.
He looked at the noodles floating in the water and said in surprise, "Is it really made by the senior brother?" In this pot, the noodles were of uniform thickness and were pulled into the right shape, which looked very real.
Looking at the noodles in the other pot, they looked a little worse. They were a bit horrible floating on the water.
Nanshan said firmly, "I know, this pot was made by the senior brother, and that pot must have been made by the junior brother."
Chao Jianxue had flour on her face and said in a flat tone, "You are wrong, very wrong."
"Is it true?" Nanshan didn't believe it.
Chao Jianxue pointed at the good pot and said, "I made it myself."
He just adjusted himself at the beginning, but soon got the hang of it and made it perfectly.
And the ones floating in the other pot were made by Yu Wei.
Nanshan didn't know that Yu Wei was only good at making porridge, and he had no talent for other things. At first, Chao Jianxue was also very unbelievable. He thought that Yu Wei had the aura of a protagonist and everything he did was good. Later, he saw more and knew that Yu Wei was actually a master in the kitchen.
Chao Jianxue just asked: "How did you cook porridge?"
Yu Wei said shyly: "When I was young, I read in a book that it said that you should take a cup of rice and cover a finger joint with water. From then on, I knew it."
So cooking porridge is actually his only talent for cooking.
In another pot, Chao Jianxue also stewed chicken soup, which was all the ingredients available in the kitchen. Nanshan was amazed and said: "I thought that my eldest brother was lazy and didn't know how to distinguish between grains. It turns out that I was narrow-minded."
Chao Jianxue said while scooping soup: "Don't look at me like this. When I was in the demon domain, I also lived by myself!"
Especially when he went to a dangerous place to practice alone, sometimes he was hungry and had to do it himself. He was not used to many foods in the demon domain, and there was no demon who could cook food for people. It was really a skill forced out by adversity.
Yu Wei felt a little distressed after hearing this and helped him to serve the soup.
Chao Jianxue drove the two out and asked them to wait for him on the moon viewing platform.
On the moon viewing platform, the crescent moon was like a hook. After thousands of years, the bright moon is still hanging high, but now Wuwei Sect is on the ground, not hanging in the air like before, so the moon looks far away.
Mu Yuan said: "I think it's better now. In the past, we were too close to the moon disk and occasionally looked at the desolation. Now we are on the ground, and the master feels more at ease than before."
There were several jars of wine sealed with red mud beside the pavilion. They were the fine wines collected by Mu Yuan. Chao Jianxue had secretly dug them before, so he could tell the quality of
wine by smelling it. Mu Yuan took out the best batch in his inventory. "I didn't let you drink wine before because you were still young. Tonight, let's drink freely." Mu Yuan laughed heartily.
Several disciples looked at each other. In fact, they had tasted it secretly when Mu Yuan didn't know it.
It was only slightly stronger than what they had secretly drunk before. Qiu Shui took a sip, pretending to cough as if he had never drunk before.
Several people showed their acting skills, but only Yu Wei drank it calmly without any unusual symptoms.
Mu Yuan said, "Your junior brother is the best. These jars of wine were passed down by my master, your master's ancestor Bao Yun Zhenjun. It's more than 900 years old..."
Yu Wei coughed.
When Chao Jianxue heard "900 years", he didn't dare to drink it. He placed it in front of him cautiously and respectfully. If he got drunk, the true form of this magical wine would be revealed.
Mu Yuan drank one cup after another, and said with emotion: "It was also on the viewing platform that I drank with your master, Qishan, and several brothers and sisters. Who would have thought that after so many twists and turns, I am the only one left in this lineage..." "
I don't ask you to have great achievements or abilities, but only one thing, that you can live your life without regrets. Since ancient times, there have been many paths to practice. Even if you ascend to heaven, it is difficult to withstand the thousand years of emptiness. There are also many true immortals who become demons. So, you just need to cherish what you have now, that's all."
The four people listened, and it was inevitable that they felt a little sad.
Chao Jianxue stood up to liven up the atmosphere and said: "I cooked noodles myself, Master, please give me a taste!"
Mu Yuan was stunned and smiled: "Okay."
The bowl of noodles was served, the chicken soup was mellow, and the noodles were very chewy. Mu Yuan thought Chao Jianxue's cooking skills were just a joke, but he didn't expect that he was really good. He said: "Jianxue, your cooking skills are really good."
"Of course!" Chao Jianxue's tail was about to rise to the sky.
While the others were not paying attention, he secretly poked Yu Wei and said to him with a smile: "Look at yours. What's the difference between this and the others?"
Yu Wei's eyes widened slightly. Maybe it was because he drank alcohol, his reaction was not as quick as usual. After a while, he said: "It's one." It
's complete, evenly thick and smooth, a perfect noodle!
Chao Jianxue took a lot of effort.
"Turn it down, there are two eggs!" Chao Jianxue whispered, asking for credit and said with a smile, "Even Master only has one."
"Time is a bit rushed, don't despise it, but after all, I made it myself, give me some face. I'll eat what you made, too."
When Yu Wei was drunk, Chao Jianxue leaned close to his thin red earlobe and whispered in his ear: "Happy birthday, little junior brother..."
