Luo Yan has always believed that without Shi Liuli's existence, life here in Yuqingguan would be much easier.
He can calmly breathe in and refine Qi, freely learn the knowledge of formations, gain the favorability of his master at leisure, and quietly find out the location of the fragments of the Sky Mending Stone - most likely it is in the hands of the immortal who sits in Yuqing Temple.
Have sufficient experience in this area.
Instead of playing everywhere with Miss Shi every day!
"Junior brother, please hand me the spiritual grass quickly!" Shi Liuli urged.
Luo Yan could only pick up the basket, grab a handful of nine-segmented calamus, and hand it over.
"Good boy, good boy." Shi Liuli was feeding and touching the beautiful fur of the nine-color deer, his eyes full of love for the fur.
The nine-colored deer chewed the spiritual grass calmly, then slowly raised its head and cast a helpless look at Luo Yan.
With just one look, Luo Yan understood that this nine-colored deer did not enjoy Miss Shi's touch.
Instead, it was forced to open for business.
"Senior sister," he said tentatively, "Even if the Nine-Colored Deer is a spiritual beast raised in the temple, it is also a spiritual beast with its own dignity. If you pet it like a cat, will it feel ashamed?"
…”
"Shut up, little junior brother." Shi Liuli said angrily, and then asked with a smile, "It likes me, right, little deer?"
Jiuselu stared at the spiritual grass in her hand, as if she was making an extremely difficult decision, and finally nodded.
Luo Yan also sighed in his heart.
Life is difficult, let alone deer?
After feeding the nine-color deer, the two found an open space by the clear stream.
Luo Yan set up the grill and took out the three-legged furnace and placed it underneath.
The three-legged furnace is originally a magic weapon used by alchemists to stimulate flames. Why is it used for barbecue?
Because Miss Shi is rich.
Shi Liuli took out a large piece of beef, cut it carefully with a flying sword, then began to apply seasonings such as sea salt and marinate it again.
Since her main practice in Qi refining has been changed to "Five Latitudes and Secrets of Heaven", Miss Shi has also recently changed to Feijian.
The new flying sword is called "Yueluo". It is a tenth-level wooden flying sword with Taoist magic sealed on it... I don't know, but the few times Luo Yan remembers using it, Miss Shi used it to cut meat.
.
If Yue Luo had a sword spirit, he would probably have died in anger.
Although Shi Liuli had little experience in swordsmanship, she couldn't bear to cook too much after returning from Guixu. Now she had developed a good knife skills. With just a few swipes, she could cut the marinated beef into countless small slices as thin as cicada's wings.
Then put it on the iron rack and grill it skillfully.
As the scent of oil slowly spread, Luo Yan had to admit that Miss Shi was not without her merits.
At least the cooking skills of this barbecue are truly outstanding.
However, choosing a picnic location is still so strange... Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is also the place where spiritual plants are planted and spiritual animals are raised!
It can only be said that Miss Shi is extremely powerful, and I, Luo Yan, am just a follower. I can't make any decisions.
After the barbecue was finished, the two began to eat.
Shi Liuli ate so much that her mouth was full of oil. Luo Yan took a small skewer and ate it slowly, secretly circulating the essence of his Dantian to refine the turbid qi in his stomach.
The reason why cultivators practice fasting is not to save food expenses, but to avoid ingesting turbid air.
Birds and beasts eat whole grains, and grains absorb underground turbid qi. The more they eat, the more turbid qi in the body, and people will begin to age and their life span will be reduced.
People like Shi Liuli, who covets food and drink, would rather work hard to refine the turbid qi than eat and drink, are really weird among monks.
Just as I was eating happily, I suddenly saw a sword light coming from a distance, and a Taoist in green robe descended.
"Junior Sister Shi," the person said hello, "And Junior Brother Luo, who is really enjoying himself and wants to experience ordinary life here?"
Luo Yan looked closely and recognized that this man was the son of the headmaster of Yuqing Guanxuandu. His surname was Tian, and his single name was Zhang.
On his side, he cupped his fists and saluted, while on the other side, Shi Liuli was a little unhappy and just kept his head down eating meat.
Seeing that Shi Liuli refused to pay attention to him, Tian Zhang started talking to Luo Yan:
"I heard that Junior Brother Luo inherited the formation method from Elder Shi Ding. Even other caves in the East China Sea praised Junior Brother's professional abilities. Some people even nicknamed him 'Master Xiao Ding'. Tiangongfang has a successor."
Luo Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. What does "Master Xiao Ding" mean? I am not the son of Elder Shi Ding!
"Senior Brother Tian, you're too polite." He raised his hand and said humbly, "Junior brother only has a partial understanding of the battle method and is far from the level of my master. I really don't deserve the praise from other fellow Taoists."
"No, I think there will be a place for Junior Brother Luo in Yuqing Temple in the future..." Tian Zhang smiled and talked. Seeing that Shi Liuli was not interested at all, he quietly winked at Luo Yan, meaning "Let's get there."
Let’s talk on the side”.
Luo Yan immediately pretended not to see it. I was stupid so I went with you. When I get to a deserted place, you give me a move to kill your love rival with the sword. Where can I go for help?
Tian Zhang saw that he didn't seem to understand, so he started to talk loudly about the tendencies of various factions in Yuqing Temple, and the traditional friendship between the headmasters and Tiangongfang... Hearing this, Shi Liuli rolled his eyes and simply picked up the skewers and
Luo Yan said:
"You guys talk slowly, I'll excuse you now."
As soon as Miss Shi left, Tian Zhang immediately revealed his true colors, earnestly grabbed Luo Yan's arm, and said sadly:
"Good junior brother, please save my senior brother!"
Luo Yan calmly pulled out his arm and said:
"Senior Brother Tian is joking. Is there anything I can do to save you..."
"You just need to become a Taoist couple with Shi Liuli." Tian Zhang said quickly.
Luo Yan:???
"We are in charge of this department, and have been on good terms with all the major factions in the temple for generations." Tian Zhang sighed helplessly, "Now that the workshop is at its peak, my father deliberately planned to let me and your senior sister form a good relationship, and finally
It would be great to be able to marry Tiangongfang."
Luo Yan was silent for a long time and asked:
"Senior Brother Tian is unwilling?"
"Junior Brother Luo." Tian Zhang smiled bitterly, "If it were you, would you like to be with someone who you can't fight or scold, who spends money on shopping like water, who is domineering and causing trouble all your life, and who sneaks out of Yuqing Temple every now and then?
Do you want to become a Taoist couple with the female monk who disturbed Qingxiu and caused trouble for you?"
Luo Yan:………………
Every word...every word of Senior Brother Tian! It speaks to my heart!
I, Luo Yan, have been my junior brother for so many years. I thought that no one would know the pain in my heart, but I never thought that Senior Brother Tian would be my close friend!
"Ahem." He cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Actually, Senior Sister is not what you imagined. She is gentle, considerate, and virtuous most of the time..."
"Junior brother Luo, do you dare to swear by Tao Xin?" Tian Zhang said without mercy.
Luo Yan was immediately speechless.
"If you and your senior sister become a Taoist couple, my father will not force me to find Shi Liuli." Tian Zhang paced back and forth and said excitedly, "For Junior Brother Luo, you will become the beloved disciple of Elder Shi Ding."
As my son-in-law, I will be more intimate with you, and it will be natural to take over Tiangongfang in the future. And it can be regarded as helping me once, and I owe you a favor, isn't it wonderful?"
Luo Yan smiled awkwardly, thinking that you would rather not be the heir to Tiangongfang than become a Taoist couple with Shi Liuli. Doesn't that explain the problem?
I have been her junior brother for so many years, and you are so hyped about marrying her, how can you deceive me?
