Grandma Dryad fled back to her home, still feeling frightened.
She was originally the spirit of a locust tree, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and practiced for hundreds of years before she was able to transform.
After transforming, her body evolved into a locust forest, forcing the female ghost who died nearby to seduce men and absorb the yang energy for her own cultivation.
Now, she has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years and can be said to be well-informed.
Among the many evil sects she has met, the name of Heavenly Demon Zhang Xiu cannot be avoided no matter what.
As soon as Zhang Xiu was born, he went on a rampage, cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and his fame spread far and wide. Regardless of whether he was good or evil, everyone changed their color when they heard his name.
Even the Yin Division where he is located is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld and is called the Yin Yue Dynasty.
After fifty years, the demon reappeared, making Grandma Dryad tremble for a while.
The other monsters ran away, but her body was a locust tree, so she couldn't run away even if she wanted to!
Looking at her shivering grandma, Xiaohong covered her mouth, feeling surprised in her heart.
That scholar is so powerful. Grandma was...conquered by him? ?
Xiaoqian looked confused and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Grandma took a deep breath, tried her best to calm down, and said slowly: "I have encountered an enemy. If you can survive this disaster safely, grandma will teach you my practice method in the future."
Nie Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows and said, "Grandma is talking about the enemy, but is that the scholar in Lanruo Temple?"
Grandma nodded slowly: "That's him. If any of you can take him down, grandma will give her five hundred years of cultivation!"
When Xiao Hong heard this, she suddenly became excited: "Grandma, don't worry, I will dress up carefully tomorrow night and I will definitely be able to capture him!"
Nie Xiaoqian frowned, looking worried.
Even grandma is so afraid of that scholar, how could Xiaohong possibly take him down?
However, if you can seize the opportunity, this is a good opportunity to escape from grandma's control...
The three people looked at each other with false smiles on their faces, each with their own thoughts and sleepless nights.
On the other side, Zhang Xiu slept until dawn, looking at the sunlight shining on his buttocks, he sat up lazily, opened the door and went outside to wash up.
While he was brushing his teeth, a rough-looking bearded man walked in, dressed like a scholar. His appearance and attire made Zhang Xiu see Yan Feng in a trance.
Zhang Xiu looked at the bearded man and couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.
The bearded man smiled heartily and saluted: "Brother, well, I'm Yan Chixia. Now that the scientific examination is about to take place, the housing prices in the city are expensive. Yan wants to stay here temporarily. Please make it convenient for me."
Zhang Xiu came back to his senses, smiled slightly and said: "The rooms in this temple belong to me, so I won't charge you room fees. If you are willing to live in this desolate place, you can come to me morning and evening for advice. I guarantee you will become a... scholar!"
When Yan Chixia heard this, she was immediately moved and speechless: "..."
However, I am now a candidate! !
Looking at Yan Chixia who was moved by attachment, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Your name is the same as the grandson of an old friend of mine. His surname is also Yan. When his grandson was born, there was a horse-like flower floating in the sky. Hongxia, originally I wanted to name him Ma Yun, but unfortunately his grandfather didn’t agree. He’s really ignorant.”
Yan Chixia: "@#￥%￥#@......"
Isn't it strange that you agree? You even changed the person's last name! !
In just a few words, Yan Chixia had a general understanding of Zhang Xiu's character. With a slight twitch in her eyes, she went to the room next to Zhang Xiu to clean up the room. After a while, the room was cleaned.
Walking out of the room, Yan Chixia saw Zhang Xiu pulling out a few lotus roots from the pond, lighting a fire and cooking. The aroma of the lotus root slices made Yan Chixia move her index fingers.
Zhang Xiu glanced at Yan Chixia and said with a smile: "It's done. The meal is almost ready. Let's have a drink later!"
Yan Chixia said with a tangled look on her face: "Brother, don't think I look old, but in fact I... am only sixteen this year!"
Zhang Xiu was stunned and said with a surprised look on his face: "Are you... a programmer?"
Yan Chixia looked confused: "What ape? I am a human, not a monster?"
Zhang Xiu was slightly happy and just about to speak, a big-headed scholar with rosacea came in, followed by an old servant. He took a look at the environment in the temple and said arrogantly: "Secretary Zhao, I My grandfather is Zhao Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War!"
Zhang Xiu's expression became a little strange when he heard this, and he murmured in a low voice: "Another grandson has arrived..."
Yan Chixia: "???"
Although he also dislikes Secretary Zhao's grandson, but why?
At the same time, the old servant looked at Zhang Xiu's face, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before. He shook his head to dispel the scattered memories in his mind, stepped forward with a smile, took out the ingredients, and helped Zhang Xiu cook.
"Sir, please take a rest first. I've brought some meat to cook you a special dish."
"Well, that's good work."
Zhang Xiu stepped aside and watched the old servant skillfully cook braised pork, and also added some rice wine to the pot. This was the first time he had seen this method, and asked curiously: "Are you making braised pork?"
The old servant smiled and nodded: "Well, it seems that the young master is a foreigner. The old man is cooking the famous dish of Jinhua Mansion - Braised Zhang Xiu!"
When Zhang Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "What is braised in soy sauce??"
The old servant smiled and said: "Haha, you don't know something about this. This Zhang Xiu was originally the prefect of Jinhua Mansion. Later, in order to appreciate his contribution, the people called the dish he invented In addition to braised Zhang Xiu, there are also fried Zhang Xiu feet and steamed Zhang Xiu chicken!”
Zhang Xiu: "@#￥%￥#@......"
Although I didn’t invent these dishes, but...I thank you so much!
Seeing the complicated expression on Zhang Xiu's face, the old servant was a little lost and said: "Speaking of which, you look a bit like Mr. Zhang. I had the chance to meet Mr. Zhang a few times in Luzhou Academy... "
Soon, several dishes were prepared and the four of us were satiated.
Zhang Xiu burped, then looked at the three people at the dinner table with a serious face, and said: "Since you come to live in my temple, I have to be responsible for your safety. When you go to bed at night, you must remember Light the oil lamp."
Yan Chixia's eyes narrowed and she looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise.
When he came to Lanruo Temple, he found that the temple was very dark. After hearing Zhang Xiuyi's words, he became more sure of his guess.
This temple is haunted!
Could it be said that Zhang Xiu is also a practitioner like him?
Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao tilted his head in confusion: "Why do you need to light an oil lamp at night?"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, and then explained sincerely: "Because it's dark at night."
Yan Chixia: "@#￥%￥#@......"
forget it! !
Dear benevolent people, I'm sorry, I rested too much and slept until eight o'clock. Let's just update today (face covering)
