In the evening, the setting sun shines on the horizon, adding patches of red color to the monotonous white snow.
In one house, the only lighting instrument in the house seemed to be malfunctioning. The light emitted was as weak as a candle flame, creating a strange environment unknowingly.
The owner of the house gently opened the door, making a creaking sound.
Liang Ran strode into the house. With a wave of his hand, a burst of mana flowed into the lighting instrument. The originally dark house suddenly became as bright as day. His shiny bald head and the lighting instrument hanging above his head became the perfect combination. The two brightest points in the room.
Liangran returned to the house and neatly placed three wooden boxes of different sizes on the stone table.
The two smaller wooden boxes were gifts prepared for Liangran by Wanyu Bingmiao and Zhao Tubao, while the larger one was made by Liu Nian.
"I didn't expect that I, Liangran, would actually receive a gift from my disciple..."
If we talk about which elder of the Haoqi Immortal Sect cares most about his disciples, it must be Liang Ran, but because of his fierce appearance and facial paralysis, he often scares his disciples away from him.
Liangran treats his disciples like family members and has always been selfless and dedicated without expecting anything in return.
Just like family members, a word of thanks or a gift from the younger generation is the best response to Liangran, the attentive elder.
Liangran looked at the first gift he received, feeling so touched and gratified that he almost made this macho man cry on the spot.
After a short period of self-adjustment, Liangran suppressed his chaotic mood, and with an innocent and scary smile, he began the long-awaited "blind box opening" session.
"Senior Liu Nian owes a lot of debt, so the gift they sent will definitely not be too expensive.
But no matter what is inside, I will never dislike it in the slightest, and I will definitely find someone to show it off tomorrow, so that the guys in the inner sect can see that I, Liangran, am also here today! "
A big, calloused hand trembled and caressed the three wooden boxes, as if touching the rarest treasure in the world.
The wooden box sent by Zhao Tubao was the first to open it. Liang Ran looked inside the box with a cheerful smile. Suddenly his smile froze and he was almost frightened.
Inside the box is a bronze mirror. This bronze mirror is only the size of a palm. At a glance, you can tell that it is a makeup mirror that the woman carries with her.
Looking at the scary-looking bald man with a cross scar on his forehead in the mirror, Liangran really didn't want to admit that the ugly guy was himself.
For a moment, the temperature in the room seemed to be a bit colder.
"The gift from that little girl Zhao Tubao is... pretty good!" Liang Ran rubbed his bald head to comfort himself, but the disappointment on his face could not be concealed.
As the only monk in the Haoqi Immortal Sect with a negative appearance, he really couldn't imagine himself holding a mirror to show off to someone.
The second wooden box opened was a gift prepared by Wanyu Bingmiao.
As the lid of the box that blocked his vision was removed, the bald head that had been hit by the mirror was bright. When he saw the gift from Wanyu Bingmiao, his whole person inevitably fell into a daze.
A comb...
Who would give a bald head a comb as a gift?
Liangran held the mirror in his left hand and the comb in his right hand, looking at the bald head in the mirror. After a while, he held back a sentence: "This comb should be used to comb eyebrows to show off..."
The last big wooden box was also opened.
There are many things in Liu Nian's box, the most conspicuous of which is a finely crafted Taoist robe, but it's a pity that it's pink!
Without a certain determination, Liangran really didn't dare to wear it to show off to others.
In addition to the pink robe, the box also contains a large amount of rouge and gouache, and a brick...
"Why do I feel that what Senior Liu Nian sent is even more outrageous than what these two girls sent!
Sigh...it's just this brick, I can use it at least. "
The moment Liangran held the brick, a piece of text appeared directly in his mind.
"This... is to convey the spirit through things. Does Senior Liu Nian want to teach me magic?"
While thinking, Liang Ran closed his eyes and began to read the words in his mind.
After reading the opening part, Liangran realized that this was not a spell, and was inevitably a little disappointed.
After half a stick of incense had passed, Liangran slowly opened his eyes and looked at the brick in his hand. Tears could not stop falling down his face, and he sobbed: "Senior Liu Nian, this gift from you is …It’s just too expensive!”
In the early morning, the rising sun seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, making the sky still dim.
I don’t know when it started, but it started snowing again.
In the quiet courtyard of Haoqishan Mountain, the ground and roof were covered with a layer of snow and frost.
The gardenia tree in the courtyard accurately caught the snowflakes falling from the sky, protecting the master and apprentice under the tree from the outside world.
Zhao Tubao nestled in Liu Nian's arms, still looking cute and sound asleep. It could be seen that she had not left her dreamland yet.
The faint sound of treading on the snow came slowly. Liu Nian opened his eyes and saw Wanyu Bingmiao standing in front of him, with a bit of sadness and haggardness on his face.
"Master, my disciple met a few acquaintances at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and learned from them the rumors about why the sect is so cold this year. I would like to ask you, Master, to confirm the authenticity of the rumors. I wonder if you are willing to listen, Master."
Liu Nian gently tapped Zhao Tubao's eyebrows, letting the little girl who was about to wake up sleep for a while longer, and softly replied: "Tell me about it, I also want to know what kind of rumors are actually making you confused. I couldn't sleep all night. Besides, it is a master's responsibility to help his disciples solve their problems."
Liu Nian's words surprised Wanyu Bingmiao. She did not sleep all night, but she kept her eyes closed the whole night. She neither moved nor made any noise. Even if someone was supervising her, she would definitely see it. I can't tell whether she is really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping.
Soon Wanyu Bingmiao himself gave the answer: The master has many methods and can even save a dying person. It is a piece of cake for him to judge whether a person is asleep.
In fact, Liu Nian concluded that Wanyu Bingmiao had not slept all night because he did not hear any snoring last night.
Shaoqing, Wanyu Bingmiao told the rumors he heard from the mountain with some restraint.
Liu Nian didn't know much about the sect's formation, and he couldn't be sure whether the rumors were true or false.
When he learned that the disciples in the sect attributed the sect's coldness to the thunderstorm he caused, he felt that the rumors were very likely to be true.
But even so, Liu Nian's heart was still calm, and there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, Liu Nian had already borne all the losses caused by the thunderstorm.
Fifty million in debt...
The denomination that should have been stored on the underworld coin is now carried by Liu Nianlai. He is so dedicated to poverty that there is no room for guilt.
Guilt did not appear on Liu Nian, but on Wanyu Bingmiao.
Wanyu Bingmiao lowered her head and stood in front of Liu Nian with a guilty look on her face, like a prisoner on trial, waiting intently for Liu Nian's response. It could be seen that she cared about the authenticity of the rumors.
Liu Nian felt very confused when he noticed something strange about Wanyu Bingmiao. He couldn't figure out why Wanyu Bingmiao cared so much about the authenticity of the rumors.
Liu Ernian thought to himself: "Da Nian once said that my new disciple is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business.
Although she is very nervous, she has a rough and tumble mentality. As long as it does not have a substantial impact on her, she can turn a blind eye to anything.
Logically speaking, such a harmless rumor would not affect her at all, so how could it keep her awake all night?
Moreover, I caused that thunderstorm, and I also bore the consequences of that thunderstorm.
I, the client, don’t feel guilty, so why should she feel guilty? "
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Nian couldn't figure out what Wanyu Bingmiao was worried about.
At this moment, the inner demon's voice came: "Second Nian, don't forget who the thunder was caused to save."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Nian instantly figured out the reason.
Wanyu Bingmiao and Zhao Tubao were the causes of the thunderstorm, and they were also the only two beneficiaries of the divine punishment.
If it was true that the sect's formation was damaged by the tribulation thunder, as the rumors said, then Wanyu Bingmiao and Zhao Tubao should bear the main responsibility.
Zhao Tubao didn't know that the thunderstorm was related to her, so she still slept soundly, but Wanyu Bingmiao was different. She knew the cause and effect of the matter, and she would really be restless until the truth was revealed.
"Da Nian, is the thunderstorm related to the sect becoming colder?"
Liu Danian's answer was very quick, as if he had prepared it for a long time: "I can tell you responsibly that the sect's coldness has nothing to do with the thunderstorm."
Liu Nian relayed the inner demon's words to Wanyu Bingmiao in detail.
After learning that the rumors were false, the big stone of self-blame in Wanyu Bingmiao's heart also fell. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the sadness on his face disappeared.
Looking at Wanyu Bingmiao who kept yawning, Liu Nian asked gently: "Are you sleepy?"
Wanyu Bingmiao nodded awkwardly.
"Then go back and catch up on your sleep. You are still far from getting rid of sleep."
Wanyu Bingmiao did not refuse Liu Nian's proposal. After her tense nerves began to relax, the sleepiness brewed from that sleepless night also came to her. She was indeed so sleepy now that she could hardly open her eyes.
"Thank you, Master, for liberating your disciple's heart..."
Wanyu Bingmiao, who was saying thanks, suddenly felt his eyes darken, immediately lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
Before the deafening snore appeared, two coffins, one large and one small, flew out of the wooden house, sealing the sleeping Anhui Bingmiao and Zhao Tubao tightly inside.
"I thought I had blocked them from all external harm, but I forgot the words you taught me.
Although the tongue is boneless, it can hurt people.
Da Nian, I think..."
Liu Danian interrupted: "I told you when you woke up, you can do whatever you want."
