Foundations, walls, and gates are rapidly generated under the surge of spiritual power.
The Dobekibu disciples divided their labors and cooperated, and the prototype of a large house soon appeared in front of them.
In fact, if we don't have to pay attention to various details, one or two disciples can complete this kind of trivial matter without so much effort.
In Heiyang and Hongli's imagination, they only needed to get a matchbox-shaped one to protect them from wind and rain.
As a result, these disciples were as if they had been injected with chicken blood, saying how could such a simple building accommodate the sect leader and senior sister?
Now that they are here, they must act according to the best standards!
In this regard, they are professionals!
Well, half a minute later, a ball of flame shot out of Hongli's palm and burned the "design drawing" in her hand clean.
Hongli Heiyang found a small corner and squatted side by side with a dull look on his face, watching these big brothers and sisters showing off their power.
"Attention please!"
A Tubu senior brother shook the bricks in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone in Five Color City uses bricks and stones with this pattern to build their houses. Everyone should pay attention to not making the houses of the sect masters and others look out of place. They should fit in perfectly with the entrance." Do you understand the surrounding environment?"
"I understand!"*n
"Look at me, look at me!"
A Kibe senior sister unfolded the painting she had just finished and showed it to everyone.
Before joining the sect, this senior sister was a serious family daughter. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was not like those two lazy guys at all, and she didn't look like a young master at all.
"I just asked the sect masters for their opinions and determined that the pattern on the door should be like this!"
The senior sister explained with a bright smile: "It should look like flames and water flow intertwined, and it should have the beauty of symmetrical and repeated rotation. The most important thing is to control the lines on the door to achieve a natural look!"
"clear!"
"Pay attention. In the courtyard and at the gate, the emission types of the trees should be like this. Watch carefully!
Here, in front of the door, are the evergreen trees...
Then on this side of the yard, the almond trees.
There is a pomegranate tree in this small corner, and then some jujube trees are planted here, and a big ginkgo tree can be planted here to enjoy the shade...
Um? Sect Master, do you eat persimmons?
Oh, everyone, please pay attention, don’t want persimmon trees, the sect leader and the others don’t like it, remember, repeat it again, don’t want persimmon trees! "
"Here, I think we can make a small pond to raise a few ornamental fish. It would be great, right?
What? Sect Master and the others said they were too lazy to feed? Understand, understand! I'll think of another way! "
"Attention everyone, study, living room, dining room, bedroom...
I have emphasized these many times, pay attention to lighting, and reasonably allocate location and area!
I'll stress it again later, if anyone still makes mistakes, he or she will suffer in terms of next year's assessment scores! "
"Hey! Junior sister, come here."
Hong Ling smiled evilly and pulled over a Junior Sister Tube and pointed to both sides of the door.
"I've heard that junior sister's stone sculpting skills are outstanding.
Can you help me put a stone sculpture on each side of the door?
Oops, it's not a stone lion. Do the two of them still need this thing to ward off evil spirits? They are quite evil themselves, ahem...
Look, there's a big lazy dog with a tired face on the left, and a salted fish with a weird look on the right...
Hehe, that's right, they have to be the same size, they look like a pair!
Instead of using a realistic painting style, you can try to make it as cute as possible. How about it? Can it be done? "
"Is that all?"
The junior sister raised her chest and raised her head with confidence: "It's a piece of cake!"
Spiritual power surged, the rock and soil condensed, and two lifelike stone sculptures lay on both sides of the gate.
"Sister, do you think this is okay?"
"Hmm... the face could be cuter and the eyes a little more tired. Well, it's the kind of look where you are too lazy to care about anything and just want to sleep!
And this salted fish, it seems a bit too energetic. You have to imagine that a fish that was thrown ashore struggled a little symbolically for a few times, and then turned over without even bothering to turn over. Do you understand?
What? Can't imagine that look? Look over there, look over there, look at those two guys squatting in the corner. Can you imagine it now?
Very good, yes, yes, very spiritual, just do it, hehe! "
………
In the corner, two pairs of dead fish eyes were full of resentment.
"I feel……"
Hei Yang showed his dead fish eyes and held his cheeks weakly.
"Aside from making suggestions and changing decisions, there is no sense of participation at all in terms of actual hands-on work! It feels like we are so redundant!"
"Be confident, don't feel it."
Hong Li looked at the two stone sculptures with an unhappy expression.
“I always feel like my aunt jumped in my face and laughed at me, but the key is that those pair of lazy dogs are so cute, I can’t bear to take them down...
Damn it, can I only bear this ridicule silently? ! "
"Well, we two have vested interests, so it's better not to complain too much..."
"Shivering, these senior brothers and sisters are so scary!"
"However, the rest can be left to the friends to express themselves freely..."
Hei Yang suddenly thought of something and said, "But I still have some ideas about the roof of the bedroom."
"uh-huh?"
Hong Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Hei Yang: "How do you say that?"
"I was wondering if everyone could think of a way to fix that thing on the roof."
Hei Yang scratched his head and poked Hong Li's knee.
"Didn't I bring that big wall to you before? Do you still have it with you?"
"You mean..."
Hong Li raised her eyebrows and took out the items: "This?"
Item: A very strong wall
Quality: purple
Size: 6 meters long, 0.5 meters wide, 4 meters high (normal form)
0.06 meters long, 0.005 meters wide, 0.04 meters high (portable form)
Effect: It is really strong and can resist attacks at the Nascent Soul stage and below!
Introduction: A wall may be able to block the wind, but it will be more difficult to block the rain.
"Hmm, that's it."
Hei Yang nodded affirmatively.
“Think about it, even though it’s a wall, it can only block one side, so it’s better to just treat it as a roof.
Don’t use all the roofs, just use them in the bedroom, or even just above the bed..."
"Oh ho! I understand!"
Hong Li's eyes lit up and she blurted out.
"Even if the sky falls, it won't stop us from sleeping in!"
"Ahem, um, why do you say it so unpleasantly..."
Hei Yang coughed twice and said: "This is called to ensure that teenagers have a comfortable and healthy sleep like a baby!"
"Very reasonable!"
Hongli nodded affirmatively and extended her thumb: "Just do it!"
…
"Speaking of which, why don't we go buy some food and drink for the big guys..."
"Good idea, go and come back quickly!"
"Huh? What about you?"
"Of course I will stay and continue to give advice!
You don’t want your house to look like something you don’t like! "
"Ah, what kind of excuse do you have!"
"Oh, oh, go ahead, brother Heiyang~~"
"Fuck, I'll go, can't I just go..."
"Hey, I knew you were the best!"
"Stop flattering, what do you want to eat?"
"Just, I usually like to eat, it's not like you don't know."
"彳亍, wait here."
"Go and come back quickly~~No eating secretly~~"
"whispering sound."
"Hey, I love you, mua~"
Hong Li looked at her boyfriend's retreating back with a smile, pulled out a recliner, lay down on her back, put on her sunglasses, and looked comfortable.
"Ah, this is life..."
"Yes, yes, it makes people envious and jealous just looking at it."
"Um?"
Hong Li frowned, glanced at the corner of her eyes with her fingers, and looked at her aunt who suddenly came in front of her in confusion.
"Is there a problem?"
"Ha, what can happen to me?"
Hong Ling rolled her eyes and imitated Hong Li's tone: "Hey, I love you, mua~"
"Hey, this level of yin and yang is ineffective against me."
Hong Li rolled her eyes, covered her sunglasses again, and spread her hands with an indifferent expression.
"What's there to say? My boyfriend, I can do whatever I want!
But you, aunt, haven't you come out after all this time? "
After a pause, Hong Li suddenly thought of something and her voice became more serious.
"I'm serious. It's obvious that you have some mental problems now. They should be discovered and solved early. Not everyone can get out of it by crying."
"Ah this..."
Hong Ling was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised that Xiaoli was so serious, but she was just stunned for a moment, and then showed an unhappy expression.
"You know that my aunt is hurt by love, but you still stimulate me and tear my wounds again and again. Isn't it so unkind?"
"Well……"
Hongli paused and said with a serious face: "Well, aunt, I wonder if you have heard of the legendary collapse therapy!"
Hong Ling: "..."
Hongli: "..."
"I shouldn't have high hopes for you to be serious or anything like that."
Hong Ling couldn't help but sigh, with a melancholy look on her face: "Can't any normal girl find a partner now?"
"Hey! What do you mean! Do you mean I'm not normal?!"
"Please don't take your seat."
Hong Ling waved her hand: "Don't worry, don't worry, mental health and so on, I have never seen any big storms, how can I be hit by such a trivial matter, at most I will feel uncomfortable for a while."
"Okay, that's right..."
Hongli curled her lips: "It seems like I'm worrying too much. After all, you have more life experience than my dad..."
"Hong Xiaoli!?"
"..."
The red glass sunglasses slipped off, revealing a pair of innocent eyes. Didn't she do it on purpose?
"Harm, forget it."
Hong Ling waved her hand and showed her dead eyes: "I said, where is the book you promised me? Why haven't you seen the shadow yet?"
"uh-huh?"
Hong Li raised her eyebrows: "Is this the way you approach others when asking for help?"
"Um?"
"Ahem, I know, I know, why is it so bad!"
Hongli made a sound and explained: "After the house is completed, Hei Yang and I will go back to our respective houses to move our luggage. Then you can just follow me."
"That's pretty much it."
Hong Ling turned to look at the house being built on one side and suddenly sighed.
"But to be honest, this house... is really nice. It should be very comfortable to live in."
Hong Ling fiddled with her hair and looked at the sky, her eyes twinkling: "It is indeed very enviable, this kind of free and leisurely life.
Practitioners with advanced realms may not live like immortals like you here. "
"Um?"
Hongli noticed that her aunt's mood suddenly became a little low, and whispered: "Well, don't be so embarrassed, aren't the two of us superb practitioners?!"
"Hahaha, that's true."
Hong Ling shook her head and laughed, and said softly: "The old patriarch's body can't hold on any longer, and I may have to leave the sect in a while.
Well, it's just that I don't live a leisurely life like you - I need to succeed the old patriarch.
Regardless of status, strength, or experience, there is no one in the Wang Duhong family who is better than me.
Well, that sounds like a boast, but it's true.
I have declined several times in the past few years, and now it's finally time to make a choice. "
Hong Ling looked at her niece and said seriously: "Two choices, first, refuse cruelly, choose not to take on these responsibilities, relax and continue with your previous life.
Second, to succeed the clan leader, temporarily leave the clan to handle complex or important clan affairs. "
Sighing heavily again, Hong Ling said leisurely: "I'm not a child anymore. I'm really not in a high mood recently. Falling out of love is just an excuse or one of the reasons. A large part of it is because of this incident.
Because I didn’t know how to solve it, I simply thought, “It’s not that day yet, let’s just take it one step at a time.” I chose to escape. I started to feel less motivated than before, and I felt completely confused.
Xiaoli, tell me, what should my aunt do? reject? accept? "
"Ah this..."
Hongli's forehead was sweating due to her aunt's eyes: "Um, why are you asking me this? I don't know how to answer you!"
If you refuse, it will be equivalent to ignoring the nurturing grace of the clan and severing the blood ties. Even if your shoulders are relaxed, your heart will probably be heavy, right?
And agreeing would mean leaving the sect for a long time. Hongli had only lived in the sect for less than a year, and she was so reluctant to leave, let alone her aunt who had lived there for decades.
It can be said that she has spent more time in the sect than at home. It is already her second home.
There are countless fellow disciples and elders who know her in the Five Elements and Five Departments. If she has to say goodbye to so many acquaintances all at once...
Well, there is also practice. Although you can still practice after returning to the clan, the resources, time, environment, and energy are definitely not as good as those of the sect.
Hongli could easily tell that her aunt still wanted to stay in the sect, but she also didn't want to let down her family ties.
Hongli had never encountered such a situation before, struggling between personal and family relationships, but just thinking about it made her breathless.
"that……"
Hongli opened her mouth, but was speechless again.
All I can say is that it is difficult for even the closest people to give advice on this kind of thing.
If you support the refusal, wouldn't that make your aunt fall into unfilial piety and unrighteousness?
But if you support and accept it, doesn't that mean you don't consider your aunt's own mood?
No matter what I say, something seems wrong...
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little depressing.
It wasn't until Hei Yang's voice came from the distance that Hong Li was rescued from this atmosphere.
"Xiao Li! Brother is back!"
Hei Yang smiled and pulled a small car, approaching from a short distance away.
The cart was piled high with food.
"Look what good things I have brought you! Milk! Juice! Mu's sugar cubes! Little Girl brand candies! And apple crisps..."
Before he finished speaking, Hei Yang looked at the somewhat wrong atmosphere and couldn't help scratching his head.
"Ah, what happened?"
"Ah this..."
Hongli scratched her head and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, just, well, it's nothing!"
"Xiao Li is right."
Hong Ling smiled slightly: "It's nothing, we are just in a daze."
"Um?"
Hei Yang had a question mark.
[Hongli: Ahem, Yoko, I’m not hiding anything from you! 】
[Hongli: It’s just that my aunt is sad there, so I can’t say it directly, as it will easily put a psychological burden on her. 】
[Hongli: That’s right, Guji Guji, that’s what it is. 】
[Hongli: That’s why my aunt is a little hesitant. How should I talk about this matter? Do you understand? 】
[Hei Yang: Oh, I know, I know, after all, we can’t really understand that kind of entanglement, and we can’t make choices for our aunt, so it’s not good to say anything more! 】
[Hongli: You still understand me! 】
[Hei Yang: Got it, let’s change the subject, right? 】
"Haha, that's because I don't know what you guys like to eat, aunt..."
Hei Yang pointed to the cart and said with a smile: "I just scanned that area of the store..."
"Well, it's more than that..."
Hei Yang shook the storage bag on his waist: "There are still quite a few here. If you don't have enough, just add more. If you don't have enough, just buy some."
"Ha, it really cost you Xiaoyang."
Hong Ling smiled politely: "A group of practitioners are still afraid of starving?"
"Why aren't you afraid?"
Hongli couldn't help but retort: "Food and sleep are necessities of life. Most of the happiness in life comes from this. Cultivation is just to experience this happiness better. You can't put the cart before the horse!"
"Well……"
Hong Ling thought for a while and couldn't help scratching her cheek: "This kind of thing depends on each person. They all have different ideas. I think..."
"Ahem, um, it's okay, it's okay."
Hei Yang interrupted his aunt with a smile. He was afraid that the other party would talk too much and go to another place, so he had to take the initiative to take the right to speak.
"Well, if you buy more, you will get a discount. In addition, it has been closed in recent years, so everyone has bought everything they should buy. Most of these have not been sold yet, and they are not very popular, so it is cheaper for me. Yes, haha..."
"Yes, it's Chinese New Year..."
Hong Ling suddenly froze for a moment and smiled.
"The 577th year of the water calendar has come to an end. We are entering the 578th year. In the new year, maybe things will take a new turn?"
"Well, this is it."
Hei Yangrui commented: "In fact, in my opinion, the Chinese New Year is just an ordinary change of time according to our human standards, and there is no..."
"Ahem!"
Hongli suddenly coughed.
"Ahaha, have a good New Year, have a good New Year!"
Hei Yang had a bright smile on his face: "Wish you farewell to the old and welcome the new. Happy New Year. Leave all bad luck to yesterday. Welcome the future with a new look. You smile at the world, and the world smiles at you. Tomorrow will be better. Hahaha, I like the New Year the most. !”
"Hahaha, you two!"
Hong Ling couldn't help laughing, her mood brightened a little, and she turned to wave to the disciples not far away.
"Okay, you guys should take a break and eat something!
You have done a great job today, there is no need to be in such a hurry! "
"Hey! Right now, senior sister, wait for me, I'll come right after I finish this!"
"Huh, done, Sect Master and the others will definitely like it!"
"Well, there's still a lot to be done. Don't worry about these patterns. Well, you really should take a rest and adjust your condition..."
"Everyone eats and eats, don't litter, and be civilized members of the Five Elements Sect!"
"received!"
"..."
The disciples were all enjoying the delicious food. Although it was not as powerful as the spiritual food in the sect cafeteria, it had a different flavor.
"The sun is setting."
Hongli drank the milk in small sips and looked into the distance with a happy face.
Because the location is relatively high, you can easily see the sunset turning half of the sky red.
"Hei Yang, another year has passed. This year, we are still spending time together. It's great."
"Um."
Hei Yang took a bite of the bread and looked at the sunset with a smile, his eyes reflected the red clouds.
"The rest of your life will be all mine, are you afraid?!"
"I'm afraid of the size, so I won't get what I ask for."
After a pause and swallowing the milk in her mouth, Hongli smiled: "Look what you said, wasn't it all about you in my previous life?
Well, my life started after I met you! "
"I like you so much, Hongli."
"I like you so much, Hei Yang."
The two hands were clasped together, feeling the warmth of each other's pulses.
Amidst the conversation and laughter, the last ray of afterglow shone on the stone statue of Lazy Dog and Salted Fish at the door, covering it with a warm coat...
