Today's weather is very good. The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the bamboo forest on the ground is green. The gentle breeze is blowing slowly from the farmhouse smoke. The green bamboo leaves are slowly swaying in the wind. Everything you see is poetic and picturesque. .
Of course, in the eyes of some thoughtful people, it is not poetic, but contains the meaning of "Tao", which is the "Tao" of nature.
Mo Caihuan has indeed chosen a good place. Although it is not a paradise, it does not have much spiritual energy, and there are no spiritual springs. However, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of cities and villages, and it can be regarded as a place for rest and cultivation. Good place.
However, no matter how good a place is, there are still some disturbances...
Isn’t this?
Today has not yet reached noon, and Miss Zhao and Xiao Cuier, who had made an appointment when they parted yesterday, arrived together again. After arriving, they once again began to softly call Mo Caihuan's name outside the formation.
"Miss Zhao!"
"Sister Cui'er!"
"Come with me, it's not convenient to talk here. I had someone build a bamboo pavilion in front of me a few days ago, and I also prepared some tea and cakes. Let's go over there and talk."
However, Mo Caihuan did not appear from the formation this time, but appeared directly from the bamboo forest behind the two of them, and guided the slightly surprised two people to a simple but simple place in the bamboo forest not far away. Sit down in order of priority in the somewhat exquisite bamboo pavilion.
It was obvious that Mo Caihuan had been waiting for a long time. He even prepared tea and cakes in advance, just waiting for these two people to arrive.
"Very good!"
"This place is really nice. Otherwise, I would have to wait there every time I came. The sun would be too hot."
"Sister Mo, are you welcome?"
Xiao Cuier seemed to be very satisfied with this elegant and verdant bamboo pavilion, which was not far away from the mansion hidden in the formation. So the moment she sat down, she reached out and started eating directly. I got the pastries and tea prepared by Mo Caihuan.
"..."
However, unlike the innocent and carefree attitude of the young Xiao Cuier, the girl Zhao on the side was thinking more, and the expression on her face seemed to be obscured instantly after entering the bamboo pavilion. There was a layer of haze, and from time to time, he kept glancing at Mo Caihuan with his hesitant, uneasy and hesitant eyes.
Obviously, she is different from Xiao Cuier, who is young and has no worries. She has been crawling around as a casual cultivator in the world of immortality for so many years. She has met all kinds of people and is used to all kinds of intrigues. Some clues could be seen in the expression on Caihuan's face and various behaviors.
"Miss Zhao, do you want to have a cup of tea first?"
"Would you rather sit down and have some snacks first?"
First, he looked at Xiao Cuier with a wry smile, who had already sat down and was minding his own food. Then, Mo Caihuan picked up the teapot and looked at the man who was standing aside, letting the majestic wind blow his clothes and ribbons, looking very heroic. That other friend.
"……."
However, that girl Zhao did not speak, she just sighed in sadness and shook her head gently.
"Fairy Mo..."
"Looking at you like this, how can I sit down?"
"That's it!"
"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good or bad. If you have anything to say, you'd better just say it!"
"Whether it's good or bad, I admit it all."
Then, when Xiao Cuier looked surprised and surprised, she suddenly spoke clearly.
"Huh?"
"Sister Zhao..."
Looking at the expression on her sister Zhao's face, and then looking at the sadness on Mo Caihuan's face, Xiao Cui'er seemed to vaguely understand something no matter how young and ignorant she was.
Then, she hurriedly got excited, wiping her mouth in a panic, hurriedly left the bamboo chair and stood up hurriedly, and then followed her sister Zhao, eagerly waiting for Mo Caihuan's reply.
"Why……"
Looking at the two friends who had known each other for a few days and were getting along well, Mo Caihuan wanted to bring them some good news, but some things were not based on her will.
"Master came back last night."
"Then……"
So, just like that, in this beautiful bamboo forest pavilion, Mo Caihuan sighed softly, then had to grit her teeth and recount the situation last night, as well as her repeated pleas to Master at that time and Master An's reply, etc. He relayed it carefully to the two of them.
She tried really hard and pleaded many times at the risk of making her master angry and being punished, but the result...
Her Master Anne is still too stubborn. She can't shake the other person's will, and she doesn't know how to make the other person change his mind. Therefore, she feels that she has a great responsibility, and now she doesn't know how to face her two The only two friends in the world of immortality.
"!!"
After hearing this, Miss Zhao felt as if she had been struck by thunder. She swayed first, and then gradually calmed down after a while.
"this!"
"That is to say..."
"Fire Immortal, she has made it clear that she will not accept any more disciples?"
Then, her face instantly turned pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly. She finally managed to stabilize her emotions and looked at Mo Caihuan with slightly trembling words and desperate eyes.
"Yes……"
"I'm really sorry!"
"Miss Zhao, I have persuaded Master several times, and I chose to talk to her when she was happy."
"but……"
But whatever, Mo Caihuan lowered his head and said no more.
God can testify that she really tried her best, and she really wanted her Master Anne to accept these two friends. That way, she could have a companion when she practiced on weekdays, and she would not be too lonely. But……
It was hard to disobey the master's orders. She had just started teaching for more than two months, and she could only carefully serve her little master. She was a humble person and had limited abilities, so what could she do?
"Fairy Mo!"
"Dare to ask..."
"Is the great flame immortal of your sect still in the mansion?"
After a while, after her emotions gradually calmed down, the tall girl Zhao, who still had a somewhat unsightly face, gritted her teeth and asked again.
It's obvious that she hasn't given up completely yet, so her heart is ready to move, and she seems to want to worship and plead in person.
"It's gone now."
"I don't know why today, but at noon, before you guys came, she had already gone out first. She usually goes out after noon."
"I don't know if there is anything important today..."
Mo Caihuan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke hesitantly.
To be honest, from Mo Caihuan's point of view, the terrible little girl master in her family will definitely not have anything important. In fact, she has never seen or heard of anything important from him. However, it is indeed quite rare to run out and play noisily early this morning.
"Yeah?"
"I see……"
After hearing what Mo Caihuan said, the girl surnamed Zhao still didn't understand what was going on?
"Ah!"
"really……"
"That Immortal Chief must be avoiding us on purpose. I knew it..."
After saying that, she smiled miserably and staggered back.
In the world of cultivating immortals, she was actually used to seeing similar things. Which of those big sects could easily recruit casual cultivators like them who were becoming monks on their way to becoming a monk?
As the saying goes, Tao should not be taught lightly, but since the other party is a great immortal who has achieved Tao, he also has a way to make an ordinary person who cannot cultivate immortality without spiritual roots cultivate to a state above the middle stage of foundation building in just two months. He must be a well-informed and powerful person who has been practicing for who knows how many years. And how can an existence like that be something that outsiders like them can peep at?
"Sister Zhao..."
Seeing the other person's expression, Xiao Cuier seemed a little worried and wanted to go over to comfort him. However, she was also rejected now and was also sad that she didn't know what to say to comfort the other person. good.
But, luckily, last night, her grandfather gave her some advice, saying that a powerful person from a big sect would not easily accept a disciple, so she had to pay attention to opportunities, so she had better be mentally prepared?
Therefore, she didn't have much hope today, so she didn't feel as lost and lost her composure as Sister Zhao in front of her.
"Miss Zhao?"
"Are you OK?"
Mo Caihuan quickly put down the teapot in his hand, then asked worriedly, and even wanted to go over and give him a hand.
"No!"
"I am okay……"
Gradually, that girl Zhao seemed to recover.
"That's fine!"
"I should have expected that doing something you know you can't do will never end well."
"That's it..."
"Fairy Mo, please forgive me for causing you so much trouble these past few days."
"Shall we say goodbye?"
After saying that, the female cultivator surnamed Zhao still seemed unable to let go, and did not dare to entangle her. She bowed hastily to Mo Caihuan Gong, then turned around and flew into the sky. She used Qinggong to fly in just a few breaths. Yuan Bing quickly disappeared into the distance of the bamboo forest, without even calling out to Xiao Cuier who came with her.
"Sister Zhao!"
"Hello!"
"Sister Zhao?"
Xiao Cuier rushed to the pavilion and shouted twice, but unfortunately, the other party did not respond to her.
"Hey~!"
In the end, she thought about it and didn't follow him. She just sighed in frustration, then sat aside and lay down on the green bamboo table without talking anymore.
"..."
Mo Caihuan didn't speak either.
Looking at the figure of Miss Zhao leaving sadly, to be honest, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
However, she couldn't change anything.
After all, her opportunity was also given by Master Anne. She has not had time to repay her kindness so far. How can she dare to continue to plead at the risk of making her master angry?
Therefore, even if this matter ends today, she will definitely not dare to mention it again in the future.
"that……"
"Sister Cui'er, are you okay?"
After staring blankly at the direction Miss Zhao was leaving for a while, Mo Caihuan turned his head and asked worriedly about Xiao Cuier who was lying on the table.
To be honest, she obviously prefers the well-behaved and clever Xiao Cuier, who is only eleven or twelve years old, than the thoughtful girl Zhao who just left.
But it's useless to like her. Her Master Anne has already rejected her. Therefore, whether she likes it or not, the Xiao Cuier in front of her is just like that girl Zhao, and there is no way she can enter her Master Anne's door.
Perhaps, this is the so-called opportunity?
Just like Mo Caihuan, when the opportunity didn't come, it was useless to plead with Brother Han. But when the opportunity came, Master Anne came to her door. Not only did she send him exercises, but also gave her flat peaches and took her with her. Teaching, that kind of thing was something she had never imagined before.
And if there is no chance, just like Miss Zhao and Sister Xiao Cuier, even if they come to the door again and again and beg to be taken in, the result is that the bamboo basket is in vain. What can be done?
"I?"
"oops!"
"Sister Mo, it really doesn't matter to me, I just..."
"I'm just a little disappointed..."
Seeing Mo Caihuan coming over to comfort her carefully, Xiao Cuier quickly waved her hands, and then her pretty little face finally fell down.
"But……"
"Is it really okay?"
Although it was useless to ask, Mo Caihuan herself had no ability to change, but she still wanted to care and comfort the other person.
"well enough?"
"Actually, my grandfather told me yesterday not to have too high hopes. Fate is the most mysterious thing, so I was mentally prepared in advance."
"real!"
"Sister Mo, I won't lie to you!"
It can be seen that the relationship between Xiao Cuier and Mo Caihuan seems to be better than that of Miss Zhao, so much so that as she spoke, she actually put on a big smile at Mo Caihuan and responded. Came over to comfort Mo Caihuan.
"Yeah?"
"Why……"
Sighing again, Mo Caihuan felt even more unhappy when he saw the little girl in front of him who was rejected and still trying to force a smile to face him.
But in the end, she was powerless, so she had no choice but to sit opposite Xiao Cuier in frustration, planning to stay with her for a while longer.
"correct!"
"Sister Mo!"
"I almost forgot to ask, your Flame Immortal... what kind of person is he?"
"Is he that kind of powerful and serious old man with a white beard?"
Suddenly, after the two were silent for a while, Xiao Cuier asked so boldly for the first time.
"ah?"
"No!"
"certainly not!"
After hesitating for a moment, although he felt that telling the truth might damage the majesty of the master as an 'elderly person', Mo Caihuan, who had just rejected the other party once, could not say such decisive words again this time.
"actually……"
"Master, she..."
So, she first thought about her words, and then carefully described the appearance and daily personality of her bad little girl master, etc., after trying her best to modify it and slowly describe it.
Then, Xiao Cuier finally learned: It turns out that the dragon with no head or tail, the 'Fire Immortal' who can make Mo Caihuan practice without spiritual roots, and even practice at an astonishing speed, actually looks like a A little girl two or three years younger than her?
Of course, Xiao Cuier did not dare to despise or ridicule. After all, she knew that there were some powerful people in the world of immortality. It seemed that the younger they were, the more powerful and terrifying they were!
Because the cultivation level of monks is basically equated with their age. The higher the cultivation level, the longer their lifespan and the older they are! At the same time, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the magic power, and the more various rejuvenation techniques and beauty-preserving treasures there will be, such as the 'preserving beauty pill' that Xiao Cui'er has only heard of but has never seen. etc.
However, it is indeed quite rare that a powerful monk, a being with the moniker of 'Fire Immortal', likes to appear like a little girl.
"That……"
"Sister Mo, your great flame fairy, what does she like to do in her daily life?"
Then, Xiao Cuier, who started the conversation, suddenly became excited. Even though she knew that she could no longer become a disciple, she still wanted to ask more clearly.
"Well..."
"I don't know what to say."
Thinking of the little girl's master and the great immortal who liked to eat, drink, have fun and sleep, Mo Caihuan's expression gradually became tangled and rich.
She didn't know where to start, and she didn't know how to say it so as not to damage her master's wise and mighty image in front of outsiders.
Although, in her impression, the master seemed to have never been 'wise and mighty'?
"..."
"..."
In this way, Mo Caihuan was not in a hurry to practice, and Xiao Cuier was not in a hurry to leave. The two of them were just sitting on the edge of this deserted bamboo forest, in this newly built green pavilion, with a We started chatting openly without a hitch.
I don’t know how long it took...
It wasn't until the sun began to set, until Xiao Cuier started to worry about her grandfather waiting at home, and until Mo Caihuan was about to go back to prepare dinner for his master, that the two of them said goodbye and made an appointment to meet next time. time, and then left in a hurry.
