"Yushan crispy duck and this sauce-roasted lingcos roe, your mother-in-law said you like them the most. Eat more."
In a side hall of the Qinzheng Hall, a small round table is placed in the middle of the side hall. The table is very new. There are four meat dishes, four vegetables and one soup on the table. Moreover, every dish is exquisite and has an attractive aroma. It can be said that the color, aroma and taste are complete.
Sitting in front of the round table were father and son, Yang Sheng and Yang Rui.
To be honest, Yang Sheng didn't have a good impression of his thirteenth son. Of course, that was before the thirteenth son entered Zhang Yan's family. His impression was that he was a child who was somewhat smart but had a dull temper. In addition, he was too young and had a dull temper.
There is no strong influence from my maternal uncle's family. It would be good if I could be Prince Anle in the future. It would be even better if I could make some achievements in learning.
Yang Sheng couldn't even remember the last time he sat with Xiao Shisan, or had it never happened before?
It is true that Yang Rui has not eaten such exquisite food for a long time, but when facing Yang Sheng, he instinctively followed the etiquette he had been taught since he was a child, eating slowly and in small bites very gracefully.
"Haha, don't be cautious, eat more. You should eat hard now when you are growing up. And now we are just you and me, father and son, don't worry about those annoying etiquette. Come on, this piece of meat is plenty, here it is for you
!" Yang Sheng laughed and picked up a large piece of duck meat and put it into Yang Rui's bowl. At this time, he could not see the seriousness he used to have in front of Zi Si. Instead, there was something strange and kind that made Yang Rui feel more familiar.
love.
Yang Rui nodded, picked up the bowl and ate in big mouthfuls. He had only eaten dry food along the way. A portion of fried rice with eggs was not bad, but now that there was something delicious, he was really hungry.
"Is the food supply poor in Langyuan City? You seem to have grown taller but not much meat?" Yang Sheng continued to scoop up a bowl of sauce-roasted ling caviar and put it next to Yang Rui, while asking Yang about it in a casual manner.
Rui's life in Langyuan City.
"If I go back to my father's house, I won't. The food at Mr. Zhang's house is very good. There is meat in every meal. And I can eat some spicy food now. I think it's delicious. Brother Shitou always leaves the good ones to me.
And Little Mantou. The teacher said that at my age, it’s good for me to grow taller without gaining weight. I don’t have to worry about obesity in the future.”
"Stone? Steamed bun? Hahaha, you mean Mr. Zhang's other two disciples, right? It sounds like you get along very well? Didn't I hear that you were beaten up by that little stone in the first place? What? They made up.
?"
"Well! We've made peace a long time ago..."
Yang Rui was very talkative about his experiences after studying abroad, because it was a happy experience that he had never had in the palace. When his father asked about it, he would naturally start talking.
"What?! Mr. Zhang asked you two children to face the Six-Headed Spirit Tribe alone!"
Yang Sheng was shocked when he heard Yang Rui talk about his previous experience in Gujiacun. He also sighed in his heart that Zhang Yan was indeed unexpectedly brave. Even though he was watching from the side, Yang Rui even sacrificed his life in such a crisis.
He only came to the rescue when he needed justice. He really didn't know how to comment on this.
"Well! Although Brother Shitou and I were in a dangerous situation last time and almost died, the teacher said that only hard work pays off. If we do it again, Brother Shitou and I will not need a stick of incense to clean up the six ghosts. We will never do it again.
I'm stuck in that dilemma."
"Ghost? Is this Mr. Zhang's name for the spirit tribe?"
"Yes. That's what the Taoist books say. It's more detailed than the "Spiritual Matters Miscellaneous Volume"."
"What is a Taoist book? So Mr. Zhang already knew about the existence of the Spiritual Clan?"
"Yes, Father. One of the obligations of us cultivators is to eliminate the ghosts in the world and bring peace to the universe and the heaven and earth."
"A cultivator?" Yang Sheng secretly thought to himself that this time Yang Rui came back to talk about many things that could not be mentioned in previous letters. It also gave him a lot more understanding of Zhang Yan's sect.
Then Yang Sheng asked while eating: "So how strong are the three of you? Can you show me the methods you mentioned in your letter before?"
Yang Rui hummed, put down his chopsticks, and when he raised his hand, he saw a ball of water the size of a fist appearing out of thin air on his fingertips.
"Father, this is the method of the five elements of water. The teacher said that I have the highest affinity with the five elements of water. From now on, I will focus on water cultivation. The rest, such as wood and earth, can also be used as minor training. I will show you the earth method again...
....”
Yang Sheng is the emperor, so it goes without saying that he is well-informed. But when had he ever seen such a magical method that seemed to be "making something out of nothing"? And how long did it take to learn it?!
"However, these methods of mine are still not as good as Brother Shitou's fire method. The teacher said that Brother Shitou is paranoid and has a fire attribute. As long as it is a fire method, the power of Brother Shitou will be 20% higher. Paranoid affinity is cultivated in the early stage.
It will rise very quickly. It is estimated that Brother Shitou will be able to reach the Xuanmai realm next year and officially start. Just like a little steamed bun." Yang Rui said with a look of expectation.
"Huh? Xiao Shisan, what do you mean by this? Aren't you already Mr. Zhang's disciple? Why do you need to get started again?"
Yang Rui nodded heavily and replied: "If you can't reach the Xuanmai realm, you can't be considered a true monk. You can only be the teacher's registered disciple, and you won't be qualified to learn many powerful methods later. And that's not it.
I can’t learn. I’m still a little short of the middle stage of the Qi Entrainment Realm. But I’m confident that I can step into the Xuan Vein Realm, but I probably won’t be able to catch up with Brother Shitou.”
"Is that little steamed bun better than you?"
Yang Sheng knew that the little stone was a relative of Zhang Yan. He was the earliest to learn and the strongest among the three. There was nothing to say. It was reasonable that Yang Rui was not as good as him. But wasn't the little steamed bun the little palace maid that Zhang Yan had taken away from the state banquet before?
?Why did you get started before Yang Rui?
"Little Mantou is not as good as me. She has just entered the Qi-Entraining realm. But the teacher said that Little Mantou's talent is rare in the world. As long as she sets foot on the path of cultivation, she will be much faster than me and Brother Shitou.
Therefore, although Little Mantou’s strength has not yet reached the Mysterious Vein Realm, he has already been included in the teacher’s core disciple category in advance.”
"Talent... It seems that the most important thing in Mr. Zhang's methods is talent."
"Father is right."
"Then you sound like you have already started. Can you tell whether others have the same talent as you in cultivating Taoism? Or do you have to rely on Mr. Zhang's talent?"
"Father, it is difficult to measure the talent of a monk. The teacher cannot accurately detect everyone's talent. The most reliable way is to use the talent ruler."
After finishing the meal, Yang Sheng took Yang Rui for a walk in the small garden behind. He might not have been so leisurely in a long time.
"Xiao Shisan, Mr. Zhang's methods are miraculous, including alchemy, weapon refining, and those methods targeting the spiritual tribe. If you can find one or two, it will be a great benefit to Nanyuan Kingdom and the royal family. Even Mr. Zhang
The "Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" which I didn't care much about was a great thing to be able to come up with.
Little Thirteen, do you understand what my father said?"
