Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 22 Zongmen New Year's Eve

After eating the last bottle of elixir given by Master Hu, Liu Xiaolu finally stepped into the second level of Baoyue Jue on the last day of this year, that is, New Year's Eve.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed after running the last big cycle, slowly returning the energy in the meridians to the dantian, Liu Xiaolu got out of bed and stretched.

Opening the door, two heads suddenly protruded through the door, startling Liu Xiaolu.

"Why are you two blocking my door???"

"Hey." Mo Xiaoyuan shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Didn't we come to have dinner with you?" He said, pulling Liu Xiaolu up with Wang Xiaobao and running to the dining hall.

"Hey, run slowly!!!" Seemingly disliking her for running slowly, Liu Xiaolu was held in the middle, carried by the two of them running wildly all the way almost without touching the ground.

When he came to the entrance of the dining hall, Liu Xiaolu knew why these two guys were so excited.

I saw two couplets written on red paper pasted on the door of the dining hall, and a big blessing character hanging upside down.This is almost the only New Year decoration that Liu Xiaolu has seen in the sect this year. The entire sect has a strict and classy appearance on weekdays. She originally thought that there was no New Year's Eve on the mountain.

There were a few seniors standing at the door holding sticks of candied haws, wearing blue winter clothes uniformed by the sect, and the smiles on their faces remained undiminished in the biting cold wind.The sticks in their hands were filled with circles of candied haws. Every time a new disciple walked in, they would give them one, which attracted bursts of cheers.

I thanked the brothers who distributed the candied haws, walked in the door, and found that the usual dining table had been pushed together.There were dozens of small tables in the originally spacious dining hall, and everyone sat around in twos and threes when eating.But now the small tables were put together to form seven or eight large tables, covered with light gray tablecloths.

The table near the door is surrounded by the most new disciples. On the table, there are red trays filled with various snacks specially brought by brothers and sisters from the mountain, including sticky bean buns, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes, and cloud slice cakes. , glutinous rice dumpling, big golden fruit. The whole table is densely packed.Just looking at it will make people swirl in their stomachs, and they can't help drooling.

After finally squeezing into the crowd and choosing a few snacks, the three of them sat down on a large table near the corner.

There were already a few people sitting on the table. The two youths, who looked almost the same, were a pair of cousins ​​among the new disciples. The older one was called Zhang Wen, and the younger one was called Zhang Wu.There are also two young disciples, the slightly fat young woman with a few pockmarks on her face is Senior Sister Sun, and the one with thinning hair and bags under her eyes is Senior Brother Wu.

As soon as he was seated, Liu Xiaolu rolled his eyes, "Happy New Year, brothers and sisters! Oh, why do I feel that Senior Sister Sun is more beautiful than when we met last time!"

Hearing Liu Xiaolu's words, the chubby Senior Sister Sun covered her mouth and laughed, "You little girl is so sweet, I coaxed you to give you two cans of candied dates last time, today I want to see what you have statement."

"Hey, how can that be considered coaxing? It is obviously that the senior sister cared for the junior sister and gave it to me on her own initiative."

Liu Xiaolu giggled, and didn't care about his behavior of coaxing his senior sister to make small talk, and continued with his expression unchanged,

"A few days ago, I learned a method of making red jade beauty ointment in Master's medical book, and I have been thinking about giving it to Senior Sister Sun to try. I have to repay the kindness of Senior Sister for taking such good care of me, right?"

"Red jade beauty cream? I haven't heard of it, how effective is it?" Senior Sister Sun touched the pockmarked face, obviously a little moved.

"Could the secret recipe for beauty that I learned from the medical books collected by Master still be less effective? After taking care of Senior Sister Sun, her skin is as good as lard!" Liu Xiaolu immediately patted her chest in a serious manner and assured.

"Pfft." Senior Sister Sun couldn't help laughing, and nodded Liu Xiaolu a few times with her finger, "You little girl, that's called skin like creamy fat." She blushed slightly as she spoke, "Three cans of candied dates Son?"

"Five cans! Or a tael of silver is fine!"

"make a deal."

Wang Xiaobao and Mo Xiaoyuan seemed to have gotten used to Liu Xiaolu's often outrageous behavior, and they ate the delicious food on the table unmoved.

On weekdays, there are only one meat and one vegetarian meal in the dining hall, and sometimes there is not even a single meat dish, but today there are seventeen or eight dishes on the table, and there are seven or eight of all kinds of chicken, duck and fish.The two of them just lowered their heads to pick up the food, and ignored Liu Xiaolu's salesmanship.

On the contrary, the two Zhang brothers looked stunned and adoring, probably never seen a new student of Liu Xiaolu's sect doing this.

On the other hand, Senior Brother Wu still lowered his eyes and said nothing, even reluctant to lift his eyelids. He looked drowsy, making people think that this person didn't come to the canteen to eat, but just moved to sleep That's all.

Once the business was done, Liu Xiaolu concentrated on eating contentedly.

Hu Fengzhu has a huge collection of books, more than half of which are about medical skills, covering a wide range of topics. Not only are there life-saving techniques for healing the wounded, clearing away heat and detoxification, but also many secret recipes for strengthening the body and beautifying the skin.

On weekdays, Peak Master Hu did not restrict Liu Xiaolu from learning medical skills. She also used some common medicinal materials in the medicinal material library, and sometimes even took the initiative to teach her some knowledge about pharmacology, so gradually Liu Xiaolu moved these Prejudice thoughts.

Later, making these folk remedies into finished products and selling them to brothers and sisters of the same sect, in exchange for some food or scattered silver at the bottom of the mountain, became Liu Xiaolu's major hobby besides cultivation.

This is not only because Liu Xiaolu is a money addict, it is because with the practice of Baoyue Jue, her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Every time she goes to the canteen to eat three bowls of rice, it is not enough. The Dafan brothers all started to look at her with strange eyes.

That's all right, anyway, there is no need to pay for eating in the canteen, even if the brothers think it's strange, they won't say anything more.But after eating, I was still very hungry. Every time I had a meal, within an hour or two, I was hungry again.

The five taels of silver a month is absolutely guaranteed to be sent home, but it is not an option to be hungry all the time, so Liu Xiaolu figured out some ghost ideas to subsidize his stomach.

Liu Xiaolu was eating with his head down, when the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure, looked up, and saw an old acquaintance walking in from the door of the dining hall.

Luo Lin used to eat meals in his own room, and someone specially assigned to deliver the meals to the room.But the brother who delivered the meal yesterday said that everyone will have the New Year's Eve dinner in the canteen today, so they won't come to deliver the food, so Luo Lin had to come to the canteen to eat by himself.

Luo Lin is quite diligent, and spends most of his time practicing in his room on weekdays, and he is not familiar with other inner disciples.Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, someone discussed in a low voice.

"Huh? Isn't this the genius disciple of the peak master? Why did he come to eat alone?"

"What do you know? He is the grandson of the master of Shuiyue Peak. Master Luo didn't recognize him, so he joined our Jiaoyue Peak. Who would want to have a relationship with him, a shady bastard like him?"

"Hey, that's the way it is. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that."

Luo Lin lowered his head, took a deep breath, tried to look like he didn't care, and tried his best to relax his tense body.

Everyone's whispers fell into Liu Xiaolu's ears word for word. Liu Xiaolu frowned secretly, then stood up with a smile and waved to Luo Lin, "Xiao Lin, come quickly, we are here!"
