You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

At dusk, Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng were walking on their way home. Master Qicheng looked back at the alley.

"Brother, is it okay for Yu'er to live in their house?"

Master Qiyuan glanced at him: "With Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng here, what's wrong?"

Immortal Qicheng thought for a while and said to Immortal Qiyuan: "In the next few days, I will go and inquire about the old woman's family."

Master Qi Yuan looked at him and said, "Okay, but don't do unnecessary things."

It was getting dark, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were sitting under the eaves. Master Decheng whispered: "Let's pay more attention to Xia Yu's cultivation these two days."

Shan Zheng nodded: "At noon, let them come out to bask in the sun together."

Xia Yu originally thought that he would be somewhat unable to sleep that night, but as a result, he closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, it was bright and clear, and it took him a while before he really woke up after opening his eyes.

He went to the front yard and saw that the yard was full of children, gathered around Master Decheng and listening to him tell stories.

Shi Xiaoliu turned around to see him and whispered: "The clear soup is boiled in the kitchen. You go in and have a bowl."

Xia Yu followed Shi Xiaoliu into the kitchen. After drinking a bowl of clear soup, he felt warm both physically and mentally, and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiao Liu, are there so many children in your yard every day?"

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and shook his head: "This is the first time that so many children have come to listen to my master telling stories."

"Uncle is good at telling stories?"

Shi Xiaoliu still shook his head: "Originally, Master wanted to tell Sister Lan and me about his experience, but when a child passed by yesterday, he thought Master could tell stories, so he hugged the bench to listen to the story."

Xia Yu could tell that Shi Xiaoliu was very happy about the children in the yard, and he looked at the real person Decheng who was telling the story. He must also be happy about the children in the yard.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu walked out of the kitchen. When Shi Zelan saw them, he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to stay and listen to the story?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Xia Yu. After he nodded, Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Let's sit under the eaves and listen to the story."

The stories told by Master Decheng are still not as exciting as those told by Mr. Storyteller.

But the children were very happy. When Master Decheng stopped to drink water to moisten his throat, they would look at him with eager eyes.

The neighbors knew where the children were and would come over to take a look at the situation. When they came, Master Decheng happened to say that the male protagonist was in a dangerous situation.

"There was lightning and thunder, and the demon showed its true form, with eight hands stretched out."

"what."

The children in the yard covered their mouths, but the adults outside the yard shouted.

Shi Xiaoliu went over and opened the courtyard door. The adults were a little embarrassed and said they were here to pick up the children and take them home.

Mr. Decheng said that he needed to take a break. The children turned around every step of the way and boldly asked, "Uncle Cheng, will you tell a story this afternoon?"

"No."

Master Decheng answered the children's questions very seriously. After the children left, he smiled at Master Shanzheng who came out of the room and said, "I didn't expect that I also have the ability to be a storyteller."

Master Shanzheng smiled and agreed: "Senior brother, I didn't expect your story to be so attractive."

"Uncle Master, are you telling your true experience?"

Master Decheng smiled and looked at Xia Yu: "Well, just to not scare the children, I added some things and said less scary things." "Uncle, I don't think they are scared at all. The adults who come to listen should be more afraid.”

"Children are ignorant and have nothing to fear. Adults who are knowledgeable will naturally be afraid of unknown things."

At noon, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng entered the room, while Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan accompanied Xia Yu to bask in the sun in the yard.

The two of them watched Xia Yu close his eyes, watching him fall asleep quickly, and then almost at the same time they saw a growing shadow behind him.

Shi Zelan threw out an evil talisman, and Shi Xiaoliu reached out to wake up Xia Yu. He opened his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoliu.

"Xiao Liu, is something wrong?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked at him seriously: "Xia Yu, when you were in the temple, did you go to other places?"

Shi Zelan dropped another purification talisman, the fire flashed, a faint scream was heard, and then there was a smell of sandalwood.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng left the room. They looked at Xia Yu carefully, and then asked Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "What happened?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan told them the truth, and Master Decheng reached out and felt Xia Yu's pulse.

"Yu'er, when you closed your eyes just now, did you feel anything strange?"

"Yes, I think the sun makes it warmer, and it doesn't seem so cold."

Master Shanzheng put a purification talisman on Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, please tell us carefully about what happened to you in the temple."

"My father and uncle would do morning lessons with the master monks, or go and discuss Buddhist scriptures with the great monks.

Except for standing in the yard, I usually meditate in my room. "

Master Shanzheng sent a message to Master Decheng: "We are going to a temple. Xia Yu's qualifications will attract unclean things in the temple. I'm afraid this temple will not be very clean."

Master Decheng smiled at Xia Yu and said, "Okay, you continue to bask in the sun, and we will sit in the yard for a while."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "What kind of shadow did you just see?"

"It was a very vague shadow. It looked small at first, but then it got bigger, and we felt something was wrong. I couldn't tell what it was."

After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he looked at Shi Zelan, who nodded in agreement.

Shi Zelan pointed at the talismans that melted into dust on the ground: "I used two talismans. This shadow is not afraid of the evil-proofing talisman, but it can't stand the purification talisman."

Xia Yu sighed helplessly: "With shadow, it will be better."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and said, "If you think anything is wrong, you can call me and Sister Lan."

Shi Zelan took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Xia Yu: "The talismans refined by my master, if something really happens and you don't have time to call someone, just throw them all away."

Xia Yu took the talismans, looked through them with great treasure, and said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, they are all top-grade talismans. I can't use too many of them at one time."

In the afternoon, Xia Yu slept under the sun for a while again. This time, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were watching over him, but they found nothing wrong.

In the evening, Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng rushed over, and they decided to stay behind at night.

Xia Yu seemed a little irritable and said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "If I knew what it was, I would never spare it." (End of Chapter)
