Fishing Beauty Dressed As a Vicious Stepmother

She drew this sword out of nowhere?

Xiao Bichen on the stage stayed in place, still holding the scabbard of the sword in his hand, and the sword in the scabbard generally fell into the hands of Qiao Sha below the stage.

Madam...just spreading her palms made the sword unsheathed and fell into her palms obediently.

Madam, it turned out to be so great.

The scabbard in his hand suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at his mother, and saw that she held the sword and stretched out his hand again, the scabbard in his hand flew up like a psychic, directly towards the mother.

All the disciples hurriedly avoided, only to see Qiao Sha holding the sword, pointing at the scabbard with a "cock", and inserting the sword into the scabbard.

The sword groaned softly, and she held the sheathed sword, and gently tapped her thumb up against the hilt, and the sword "zeng" out of the sheath again.

It's so easy.

All the heads stood up, staring at her incredible, even Xie Mingjun stood up, the eyes looking at her were surprised and heavy.

And Xiao Nie next to her, when the sword fell into her palm, stepped back slightly, unexpectedly but not so unexpectedly in her heart. She is not an ordinary person, and no one here can compare with her and can pull it out. This sword may be destined, but he didn't want her to pull out the sword, which meant that she was going to get rid of his demon.

There was a moment of silence in the court, only the sound of swords chanting.

No one expected that this sword would be easily pulled out by Mrs. Xie, including Xie Mingjun. He never thought of asking Qiao Sha to pull the sword. The moment Qiao Sha pulled out the sword, he didn't have any points. Joy, he even hoped that she could draw out the sword, it was just an illusion, or an error.

But not only did she pull it out, she also sheathed the sword, and drew out the sword again.

The red light of the sword shone on her face. She lowered her eyes and pulled out the sword, looking at the blood red lotus pattern on the sword, as if looking at a little beast that was tamed by her, and said: "What's the matter? What's special?"

Suddenly he pulled a sword flower and slashed at the mountain platform in front of him at random.

The red light burst out from the sword body, like a flame, and slashed on the mountain platform with a "bang", cutting out a deep crack on the surface of the mountain rock.

The disciples on the stage hurriedly backed away, only feeling the ground on the soles of their feet trembling.

The moment Wen Xue flew away, she pulled a stunned Xiao Bichen behind her. His mother and Junior Brother Xiao didn't even know how powerful this sword was. It killed a hundred ghosts and opened the road. It was a very hostile evil demon. The sword used to be the sword of the demon lord, but it was later engraved with lotus patterns on his blood by the sage master of Mingyuan, and then the evil spirit was suppressed.

In this world, apart from Demon Lord, now only Saint Master Mingyuan and his master have pulled out this sword, and even his master dare not pull out this sword in an ordinary time. This sword can only be used against Demon Lord. , Will be pulled out after killing Hyakki.

"Qiao Sha." Xie Mingjun swooped and fell beside her, reaching out to hold her sword holding hand: "Receive the sword."

Qiao Sha was also startled by the crack on the ground, what a sword, she just slashed lightly and casually, it was so powerful.

But Xie Mingjun's actions made her guess that this sword may not only be powerful, but also very unusual. If you just pull it out and slash it, you will be shocked by the head and Xie Mingjun.

she likes.

She drew her sword into its sheath neatly, without speaking, the other pigeons in charge flew towards her, surrounding her from left to right.

"Mrs. Xie was able to draw out this sword." Luo Yiqiu said in surprise: "It seems that this sword selected Mrs. Xie as the yin soldier."

"This is an arrangement of God's will. Mrs. Xie was born with a vision, was born with lotus blood, she was sixteen years old, and she has formed a pill. Now she has entered the Nascent Soul Stage, she is a perfect candidate!" Another old master who talked a lot was excited. Said.

The other heads immediately agreed. They originally had high hopes for Wen Xue from Xianmen. He is Xie Mingjun’s proud disciple. He is already in the prime of life at a young age. If he can draw out his sword and become a yin soldier, it is naturally suitable. .

But now it is Mrs. Xie who drew the sword. Her aptitude cultivation is no worse than Wen Xue!

"Inappropriate." Bai Feng objected: "How dangerous is the opening of the gate. My junior sister has never participated in the Obon Festival and has no experience. Letting her be a yin soldier directly will harm her." Wen Xuezeng He was led by Xie Mingjun to participate in several times to open the door to kill the ghosts and demons, but Qiao Sha rarely had actual combat experience after marrying.

Xie Mingjun grasped Qiao Sha's hand tightly, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed again. Qiao Sha is not suitable for being a Yin soldier."

He didn't want Qiao Sha to take the risk. The opening of the gate was not simply to kill the ghosts, but to capture the soul of the devil, which was a hundred times more dangerous than usual, so he never thought of asking Qiao Sha to draw the sword and do the yin. Soldier.

When his words were spoken, the other heads were a little unhappy. The old head who spoke the most said: "Xie Shengjun, I don't want my wife to take risks. Why is the trial of the sword held this time? Isn't it to select the Yin soldiers and remove the demon guards? If this Yin Soldier can be done by everyone, Lao Yu will be the first to stand up and lead his disciples to Kuang Zheng Dao. Unfortunately, Lao Yu is useless and cannot pull out this sword."

"Yes, Xie Shengjun." Another old head said: "Who here is not trying to avoid a killing, and the souls are burnt? If we can draw out this sword, we don't have to bother the fairy door."

Several heads of the scene, each of them tried to draw this sword, including their disciples who were above the pill formation stage, also tried them one by one, but they all failed, and it was the turn of the immortal gate.

They do regard slaying demons and defending the way as a duty and honor.

Xie Mingjun knew that they could speak well, and he held the scabbard in Qiao Sha's hand and said, "This time the gate is open, I will personally be the Yin Soldier General."

The faces of the other heads were uglier than the other.

Qiao Sha quietly watched them break their heads with Xie Mingjun.

The old head who spoke a lot of words said in a bad tone: "Xie Shengjun knows that you are a fairy. Will hide far away, why should we set up this bureau?"

Is that so?

It turns out that Xie Mingjun didn't take the lead as a yin soldier, not because he couldn't pull out this sword, but because he was righteous and would scare the ghost away?

"Yes the host." 101 went online late: "I found similar [Yin Bingjiang] information from elsewhere. It seems that you can summon Yin Soldiers and Ghosts and listen to the Yin Bingjin's orders. But there is no relevant information in this world. The author seems to be I haven’t written this plot yet. I only mentioned that Saint Master Mingyuan once ordered Yin Bing to arrest and suppress the Demon Venerable. This sword was used. Back then, Xie Mingjun drew the sword first, but he was already an immortal, awe-inspiring. Righteousness prevents Hundred Ghosts from approaching, so they have to leave Mingyuan."

Haoran is righteous.

Qiao Sha looked at Xie Mingjun again. He wore a white robe and was banished to an immortal.

They argued endlessly, and Luo Yiqiu said in a rounded fashion: "Why don't you leave it to Mrs. Xie to decide?"

He looked at Qiao Sha and said to her: "Mrs. Xie was once the daughter of the famous Xuanmen head. The husband and wife of the Xuanmen have committed several dangers in order to eliminate demons and defend Dao. Her mother even died in the demon. In the hands of Dao, there is no dog or a tiger father, and Madam Xie was the first sword repairman, so Madam Xie decides on her own whether or not to be a yin soldier."

Wearing this high hat, now that she remembers that her parents are famous, she was also the first swordsman?

But she likes to watch Xie Mingjun being kidnapped by them morally.

Qiao Sha waited for them to stop arguing and looked at her, then slowly raised her eyes to Xie Mingjun, and said to him: "As the head of the immortal door, how can the saint of the Three Realms say such things for personal love? You disappoint me."

Xie Mingjun was stunned.

She pushed Xie Mingjun's hand away, and said with a sneer: "Xie Shengjun is too small for me. Marrying you these years, for your peace of mind, I will abandon the sword to take care of the martial arts for you and be the teacher of the fairy gate. Make you think of me as a canary."

Her words not only embarrassed Xie Mingjun, but also caused other heads to slander Xie Mingjun. The saint has always been the way of life, how can he become such a selfish person now? Not even as clear as Mrs. Xie.

At the beginning, Qiao Sha was placed high hopes by decency. Regardless of her qualifications, she shouldn't stop at the pill formation period, but after marrying Xie Shengjun, she almost stagnated, and now it is a pity that she wants to come.

They were thinking, if it weren't for marrying Xie Shengjun, I'm afraid Qiao Sha is far more than Yuan Ying period today.

But no one dared to really say these words.

I only heard Qiao Sha holding the sword and said in a usual tone: "Since this sword has chosen me, then I will take a trip."

Bai Feng wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything, it was too dangerous, but since Junior Sister wanted to go, let's go.

He then said, "I and the Sword Sect disciple, we should cooperate and follow the orders of the junior sister."

Luo Yiqiu followed along with his hands: "The heads and I will definitely assist Mrs. Xie and protect Mrs. Xie thoroughly."

"That's right." Qiao Sha looked at Luo Yiqiu and said to him: "I have a name, Qiao Sha, you can call my name directly."

Luo Yiqiu was stunned, and suddenly there was a peculiar feeling—her face and personality became vivid and clear, and she was no longer the good wife, Mrs. Xie, who only thought of Wen Liang and virtuous.

He thought, maybe she didn't like and was willing to be the "Mrs. Xie" everyone envied.

He smiled and changed his words: "I also offensively call you Junior Sister Qiao."

Qiao Sha didn't mind responding.

101 Seeing that Luo Yiqiu actually gave the host a good impression, although it was only 10%, but...Luo Yiqiu has a supporting role, the host has also been brushed, is she really going to brush the whole world?

More than that, it glanced over, and the disciples who were present lit up the favorability ranging from 5 to 10%.

And Wen Xue and Xiao Bichen also rose.

Xiao Bichen rose to 30%.

Wen Xue exaggerated the increase to 65%.

The only two who did not rise were Xie Mingjun and Xiao Nie.

Xie Mingjun might have suffered such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation for the first time. He stood there without saying a word.

Qiao Sha glanced at Xie Mingjun, whose expression was extremely ugly. Has he now realized the pleasure of being kidnapped by morals?

She is not interested in slaying demons and defending the way. She just wants Xie Mingjun to experience the pain of the original owner. She has to show the limelight and let the Three Realms remember her name, love her hate her, fear her, as long as her name is The sound of the trumpets pressed against Xie Mingjun, and she felt comfortable.

What Mrs. Xie, she has a name and a surname, she is a heroine, the world should surround her and lead a horse for her.

"Everyone, I'll send my disciples to confine the cliff." Qiao Sha said unceremoniously, "I will take this sword." After speaking, she turned around with the sword and took Xiao Nie to leave.

The heads hurriedly kept her, saying that they wanted to discuss with her about opening the door. She only said: "You can discuss it first, and wait until I finish sending the disciples."

She took Xiao Nie's hand.

The corners of Xiao Nie's lips curled up, and she still had some conscience, and ranked him before the group of stinky old ways.

However, she was stopped by Xie Mingjun after only two steps.

"You don't have to go to the confinement cliff." Xie Mingjun's voice was cold and deep, and said to Qiao Sha: "Let him go to the Bon Festival with you."

Qiao Sha stopped and looked back at him. What is Xie Mingjun doing?

In order to prevent Xiao Nie's door from opening, he gathered with Demon Venerable's Heavenly Soul and wanted to flog him and imprison him. At this moment, let him go with him again?

Xie Mingjun is full of tears and contradictions.

He stopped looking at her, turned and left.

------

What was he thinking about?

His heart was almost torn into two people, pulling and struggling.

He knew very well in his heart that once Qiao Sha became a yin soldier and went to the door to open, then her little disciple Nie would definitely follow along. The evil demon wrapped Qiao Sha for her blood. When such a door was opened, Qiao Sha was sent into the net to lure him, how could he not go?

The lotus blood will not only attract the demon's heavenly soul, but Xiao Nie, the evil demon, is bound to show up and take down Qiao Sha.

He knew Qiao Sha was the best bait, but he didn't want to use her as bait, but now it's a foregone conclusion.

He couldn't stop him, so let him go with him.

By putting Xiao Nie on the bright surface in this way, he can stare at him better and protect Qiao Sha's safety. A bright spear is better to guard against than a dark arrow.

But he also knew that this would cause the Demon Venerable's Heavenly Soul to gather with Xiao Nie.

Once gathered...he could not shirk the blame.

He struggled like never before, and this slaying game was his command. If Qiaosha died in the game, he would not be at ease in his life.

It's better to go for a fight.

He looked up at Wen Xue and called his name: "Wen Xue, come with me."

He broke all his previous plans. He decided to inform Wen Xue of Xiao Nie's identity. This time he went to the ground to open the door and let Wen Xue guard Xiao Nie. Once he found that Xiao Nie was strange, he would kill him.

Never let Xiao Nie and Heavenly Soul gather, nor let Qiao Sha fall into the hands of Demon Lord.

He took Wen Xue to leave first, went to the secret room of his study, and informed Wen Xue that Xiao Nie was the incarnation of a demon, and asked him to stare at Xiao Nie and protect Qiao Sha.

Wen Xue was almost silly, and only asked: "Does the teacher know about this?"

Xie Mingjun was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Does she really know it? He didn't dare to think about it. He only hoped that she was really too kind to be deceived by Xiao Nie.

------

The other heads and Qiao Sha went to the hall and waited for Xie Mingjun to bring Wen Xue out before discussing the plan for the Bon Festival.

From dawn to dark, Qiao Sha was sleepy, and she put her hand into the fish tank on the table with her chin from time to time, teasing the goldfish in it, and only remembered a rough idea.

The Obon festival they said was the ghost festival in July and a half, and [Dimen Kai] was the night when the underworld was released. The ghosts and the hundred ghosts could return to the sun before dawn.

There will be many ghosts and ghosts, taking advantage of this night, when the sullen atmosphere is the heaviest, to leave the guards and do evil.

Before the annual Obon Festival, only the monks and Buddhas went to save and escape the ghosts.

This year, in order to capture the awakened Heavenly Soul of Demon Venerable, Zhengpai only planned to set up this game.

The location of [地门开] is different every year. Xie Mingjun has calculated the location of this year in advance. In a deserted dead city, he will take the heads to that location first and set up a circle outside the location.

At that time, Qiao Sha will bring the selected disciples into the dead city of [Dimenkai], draw out the Demon Venerable's Heavenly Soul, and introduce him to Xie Mingjun's formation.

It sounds simple, she is just acting as a bait.

But her decoy is exactly the lotus blood that Demon Venerable wants to get, how can she guarantee that she will introduce Demon Venerable into the circle before she is not eaten up and wiped away?

This is exactly what Xie Mingjun belongs to. Neither he nor the head of the transformation stage can enter the dead city opened by the gate. First, it will alarm a hundred ghosts and make the devil's heavenly soul afraid to show up.

The second is that they need to defend the circle and prepare to suppress the devil's soul again.

Therefore, only disciples in the Yuan Ying period can be selected and Qiao Sha will go with him. There are only seven disciples who go with Qiao Sha on this trip.

Is she really not afraid of danger?

Xie Mingjun looked at Qiao Sha who was hooking the goldfish. Her white fingers were playing tricks on the red-tailed goldfish. She was not listening at all. The purple sleeves fell into the water and got wet. He couldn't help but reach out and pull it for her. Pull the sleeves.

"Disciple of the immortal door, take Wenxue, Kirishima, and Qingshan." Xie Mingjun put his palm against her soaked sleeves, dried her spiritually, and said calmly: "The other four disciples, yes A powerful disciple of Jianzong, Tianxu Sect, and Lu Sect." Then he said, "Bring your disciple."

Qiao Sha glanced at the seven disciples standing in the hall. There were males and females, all of whom were in the primordial infant stage. They were heroic and prosperous, and their appearance was at the idol level.

There are really few ugly people in the world of immortality.

She looked outside, and Xiao Bichen was guarding the gate outside the palace.

"I want to bring Xiao Bichen." Qiao Sha said directly, that might be the Demon Venerable's Heavenly Soul, how could she drop him.

"Does Junior Sister Qiao have any intentions?" Luo Yiqiu asked her: "That disciple seems to have just formed a pill, I am afraid I can't help you much."

Qiao Sha turned her head and smiled at him unpredictably, "I have my own intentions."

In fact, you don't need to bring so many people. It is enough to bring Wen Xue, Xiao Bichen, and Xiao Nie.

The Heavenly Soul of Xiaobichen Demon Venerable, and the Earth Soul of Xiaobichen Demon Venerable, all have enough.

As for Wen Xue, let her develop her deep affection.

Xie Mingjun looked outside the hall. Although he was puzzled by Qiao Sha's intentions, he nodded. Xiao Bichen is a demon and can get closer to ghosts and ghosts than ordinary disciples. Maybe he can help Qiao Sha.

It was midnight when I came out of the hall.

The other masters rushed to the place where the ground gate opened non-stop, stepped on them in advance, and arranged the magic circle.

Xie Mingjun originally wanted to go together, after thinking about it, but staying to explain that the day led Qiao Sha to go with the other disciples.

He still had something to tell Qiao Sha, but when he finished, he turned around but couldn't find Qiao Sha.

She has gone back?

-------

Qiao Sha walked out of the hall, her waist felt tired, and Xiao Nie was not found under the corridor. Didn't she tell him to wait here?

A young disciple came over and said to her that Xiao Nie had already gone back first, and asked him to tell his mother.

Where did you go back? Disciple room?

Is it so good? She doesn't believe it.

Qiao Sha guessed what he was going to do again, but saw Xiao Bichen, who was holding the wall and hiding there at the corner of the corridor, with a pale face.

He seemed dizzy so badly, hiding there to rest.

"Xiao Bichen." Qiao Sha called him.

He was taken aback, and turned his head to look at her in amazement.

Under the moonlight, his face was sweaty, and his blue eyes were refreshing.

Really beautiful eyes.

"Come here." Qiao Sha stood waiting for him under the corridor.

He paused, walked towards her obediently, wiped the cold sweat from his face secretly on the road, and stood in front of her and whispered: "Mother, did you have orders?"

"Yes." Qiao Sha stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Xiao Bichen's shoulder, "My legs are numb, you can help me back to Cuiyuan."

Xiao Bichen was stunned for a moment. The shoulders on which she was riding were numb and stiff, and she did not dare to move. The scent of her mother floated from under the sleeves, and his heart suddenly jumped up, "Is the mother's leg numbness serious?" "

"It's not serious, just help me walk." Qiao Sha gently turned him over with her fingers, letting him walk beside her.

Xiao Bichen responded, lowered his head and slowed down, for fear that it would be faster, and for fear of bumping into her mother.

As quiet as the moonlight, he only dared to look down at the ground. The moonlight on the blue brick road was like crushed salt grains on the ground. His mother’s shadow interlaced with his shadow on the flowers along the road. He couldn’t help looking at the shadow, the mother in the shadow. His sleeves are as thin as cicada wings, falling under his shoulders, like beautiful butterflies.

Qiao Sha didn't speak along the way, she gave Xiao Bichen enough time to speak again, but he was like a wood, staring only at her shadow.

People who don't look at her can only look at her shadow.

Cuiyuan was right in front of him, passing through the arch and into the yard.

Xiao Bichen finally spoke and said, "Be careful, mother, there are steps here."

Qiao Sha couldn't help laughing, she was not blind.

Xiao Bichen was led by her laughter and looked up at her, "Mother...what are you laughing at?" Was that silly sentence he said?

"Naturally laugh at you." Qiao Sha stepped into the arch, into the Cuiyuan, and let go of Xiao Bichen's shoulders.

There are no lights in the Cuiyuan, it is pitch black, only moonlight and flower shadows are floating.

Xiao Bichen stood stiffly at the door of Cuiyuan, his face was a little hot, he was really stupid to make his mother laugh.

"Xiao Bichen." His mother called him again.

He raised his head and saw his mother standing at the door of the room looking at him, and said to him: "It's too dark inside, I'm afraid of the dark."

She stood quietly, her purple clothes hanging in the night, so beautiful.

He was stunned for her, and then hurriedly walked towards her, "Disciple, light a lamp for you."

He felt at ease about what he could do for her. Although he was humble and stupid, he could at least light a lamp and lead the way for her.

He stepped into the door and reached out to touch the Huozhe in his arms, but he heard her ask: "Xiao Bichen, can your tears become pearls?"

He paused, and she walked in slowly from behind, leaned against the table beside him, tilted her head and looked into his eyes, and asked curiously: "Is it true that the shark's tears fell into beads?"

He couldn't help but meet her eyes, those eyes were really like pearls, bright and clear, a hundred times better than his.

He shook his head gently, "The shark can only become a pearl when weeping blood." Only when his mother cried and shed tears, she fell to the ground and turned into a rolling pearl.

She was a little disappointed, "It's a pity, I still wonder if I can see your tears turn into pearls."

Xiao Bichen pursed her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to see me cry? But I can't show her tears." If he can weep into beads, it would be fine, at least a little in return. Some mothers.

"I just want to give you a chance to repay me." The mother smiled slightly, as if she could see through his heart, and said: "If you can weep into beads, you can use pearls as a reward, and I will replace you. Heal."

Xiao Bichen looked at her in amazement, almost subconsciously asking her: "Does the mother like pearls?" Can pearls be exchanged for the mother to heal him? But she also randomly used pearls as purple lotus decorations during the day and threw them into the water.

The mother smiled again: "Fool."

Xiao Bichen stood there, not understanding what she meant, and indeed felt...like a fool.

The mother nodded a chair and said to him, "Sit down."

He glanced at the chair, didn't understand his mother's intention, but sat down obediently.

The sister took a step towards him and reached out to support his chin.

The warm hand instructed him to suddenly feel confused, and wanted to get up, but his mother held his shoulders.

"Xiao Bichen." His mother posted to him, and gently pinched his mouth with her fingers: "Open your mouth."

He stared blankly at the face that his mother was close to, the bright eyes, and the blue scorpion pill that came out of her red lips.

Sister...Is he going to heal him?

He almost lost consciousness under her scent, his fingers clenched subconsciously, and she stopped on his lips, and Qianren Dan was led by her aura to rush into his mouth and body, and circulate in his limbs. Filling.

This familiar aura suppressed all his pain in an instant, and the aura gathered in his dantian little by little. He closed his eyes and began to use the mackerel pill to heal the wound.

But when I heard someone approaching outside the courtyard gate, I sensed the powerful aura from far away.

Is that...Master? ?

He opened his eyes in surprise, and the warm hand of his mother covered his eyelids.

She raised her sleeves and waved, the door of the room "pop" closed, and a barrier opened outside the courtyard.

He heard the master's footsteps stop outside the courtyard, and his heartbeat was so fast that it was easy for the master to break through this barrier.

But the master didn't seem to be. He just stood outside the courtyard, didn't leave or move.

His heart beat faster and faster, and the Shaker Dan turned faster and faster in his body, until his mother's finger touched his injured arm, as if confirming that his wound had healed.

She yanked away the mackerel pill abruptly and swallowed it back into her body.

The palm of his eyes did not loosen, he sat quietly, smelling the fragrance of his mother, her hair fell on his shoulder, and her voice floated to his ears, softly facing him. He said: "I don't like pearls, but I can't bear to watch you keep getting hurt."

His heart was gripped, and he shrank.

The palms of his eyes were loosened, and he was far away from him with her scent. He sat there quietly opened his eyes, looked at the purple figure in the dim room, and throbbed unspeakably in his heart.

Can't bear to see him hurt.

In this world, even his mother would not tell him this way. His mother regarded him as a wicked species, and would never not bear him being beaten, injured, and treated like a dog in a cage.

No one had said to him like this except her.

He stood up gently, his throat moved and moved, and he knelt down on one knee: "Xiao Bichen, thank you Madam, twice for saving me."

Qiao Sha turned her head and looked at him. She heard 101 say that Xiao Bichen's favorability had risen to 60%.

Simple and poor little shark man.

"As your master, I can't watch you die." Qiao Sha's fingers gathered aura and lit the lampstand on the table, and the flickering candlelight lit up.

She raised her hand to withdraw the barrier outside the yard, and opened the door along with it, "You go back and rest."

Xiao Bichen stood up, just about to say something, but sensed the breath of the master.

He turned his head and saw the master standing under the arch, looking at him.

"You don't have to be guilty, you are not afraid of shadows." Qiao Sha gently said to him beside her, "You and I have nothing."

He turned his head to look at her, and lowered his eyes again, the bright candlelight was like his heart, what if he...what's in his heart?

101 was surprised: "Host, it has gone up again... Xiao Bichen's favorability has risen to 65%."

Why? What was he thinking about?

101 doesn't understand men more and more.

Qiao Sha sat down slowly, because he was ashamed and could deceive himself at ordinary times, but when facing his master, the taboos and shame in his heart were clearly revealed.
