You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 185 Look
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan smiled at each other, and then told Xia Yu the reason why they did this.

Xia Yu laughed after hearing this: "Wonderful, I will clean the yard, room, kitchen and yard in the same way tomorrow."

Shi Zelan smiled and said: "Xia Yu, it will be my turn to clean the yard tomorrow, and you will come next."

"The day after tomorrow is okay, you and Xiaoliu don't do anything for me anymore."

Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "We will leave the yard to you to clean."

When Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng saw Xia Yu washing clothes with her own hands, they were shocked: "Yu'er, you don't know how to use the cleaning technique?"

"Yes, I want to try the life of a mortal and start with small things."

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan learned about Xia Yu's laundry, they also felt that Xia Yu was indeed a ruthless person and they had to do it perfectly.

Days passed day after day. At the end of the year, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went to the market with their neighbor aunts to buy some vegetables and take them home.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at the two little ones bringing in piles of vegetables, and asked in a low voice: "Can you eat so many vegetables?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "The aunts said that with so many people in our family, we have to stock up on so many New Year dishes."

Shi Zelan smiled and said: "Uncle, Master, you have a good relationship with the temple master. These two baskets of vegetables can be sent to the Taoist temple."

"Okay, just leave one basket of vegetables, and the other vegetables can be sent to the temple on the mountain."

Brother Qi Yuan and Xia Yu heard such good news when they came back from outside.

Master Qi Yuan said earnestly to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "You two should also act according to your ability. It will be very impressive to carry so many things back at one time."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded obediently, and Master Decheng said to Master Qiyuan: "There are so many of us living here, but these dishes are actually not much."

“The neighbors are overzealous and that’s not a good thing.”

Master Shanzheng smiled and said, "It's good. Xiaoliu and Sister Lan are acting much more steadily now."

"Can they be unsteady? In the eyes of the neighbors, Xiaoliu has reached the age of getting married, and Sister Lan will also discuss marriage in two years."

"Well, we can't stay here forever. We have to leave the capital the year after next at the latest."

While the elders were talking, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan entered the kitchen. Xia Yu was already boiling water.

He discussed with Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, I will accompany you to the Taoist temple in two days, and you will accompany me to the mountain temple?"

"I'm not going to the Taoist temple. You want to go to the temple, and your father and uncle won't accompany you?"

"My father and uncle have been to the temple two or three times. I will always go to the temple during the Chinese New Year."

Under the eaves of the front yard, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng discussed the matter of going to the Taoist temple the next day.

Master Qiyuan said that their brothers also wanted to take Xia Yu to the temple.

The next day, when Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went out, they saw that Master Qiyuan and his brothers had not made any movement.

Master Decheng asked curiously: "You are not going out of the city today?"

Master Qiyuan frowned and said, "We have guests coming today, so our brothers won't leave the city."

After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at Master Qiyuan's face, they walked out of the courtyard with confidence.

In the yard, Master Qicheng said to Master Qiyuan: "Brother, are our tribesmen?"

“For us, a thousand years is not a long time.

For people in the mortal world, a thousand years is a very long time, and the records in the genealogy have become obsolete. "

"Brother, are you friends you met when you were traveling abroad?" Master Qiyuan shook his head: "No, when guests come, trouble will also come."

In the backyard, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw Xia Yu still setting up formations, and were surprised: "Xia Yu, you don't have to go to the temple?"

"My father and uncle have changed their schedule today."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded because of this, and they began to practice swordsmanship. Just to take care of the surrounding neighbors, they set up a barrier to block the sound of sword strikes during the duel.

At noon, Xia Yu went to make clear soup. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were accompanying him in the kitchen. The three of them had Chinese food in the kitchen. When they were about to go to the backyard, they heard a knock on the door in the front yard.

Shi Xiaoliu went to open the courtyard door and saw three monks standing outside. He saluted and said hello: "Good morning, great monk."

"May I ask if Donor Xia is at home?"

Master Qiyuan had already walked over. When he saw the three monks at the door, he said with a smile: "When I heard the sound of magpies when I got up early this morning, I knew that an important guest was coming."

Master Qiyuan welcomed the three monks into the courtyard gate, and Master Qicheng walked up the steps to welcome them.

Shi Xiaoliu went back to the kitchen to boil water and asked Xia Yu, "Is there anything taboo about drinking tea, a great monk?"

Xia Yu shook his head: "I don't know."

Shi Zelan thought for a moment and said, "We only have tea here. The tea will be brewed in a while. Xia Yu can take it out."

The tea was brewed quickly. Xia Yu took the tea and sent it out. Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "The great monk among them is extraordinary. Sister Lan, do you want to find a chance to go out and meet him?"

Shi Zelan shook his head: "It's warm in the kitchen, I don't want to leave the kitchen."

After Xia Yu left, she would not return at this time, so Shi Zelan motioned to Shi Xiaoliu to send a pot of hot water out.

After Shi Xiaoliu went out, Shi Zelan sat by the stove fire with peace of mind, thinking that on days like this, the food baked in the stove fire would be particularly delicious.

She took out the eggs, smeared them with stove ashes, wrapped them, and put them directly next to the stove fire to bake.

Shi Xiaoliu brought hot water to the eaves. He originally wanted to turn around and return to the kitchen, but Xia Yu grabbed him and stood behind Master Qicheng.

The great monk raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoliu, and said to Brother Qiyuan: "This little brother is destined to our Buddhist sect."

Master Qi Yuan smiled and said: "He has always been kind to people, so naturally he has some merit."

Shi Xiaoliu's expression remained unchanged. He had promised his family that he would continue the family lineage.

The great monk regretted it and said: "It's a pity, his worldly connection is too deep."

After Shi Xiaoliu found the opportunity to salute, he quickly entered the kitchen.

Shi Zelan heard the voices outside, and when she saw him, she covered her mouth and kept laughing.

"Sister Lan, I will definitely get married and have children in the future."

Shi Zelan nodded: "I support you."

Shi Xiaoliu felt much relieved and said to Shi Zelan: "If you want to get married in the future, you must tell me that we must carefully check the man's character."

"Xiao Liu, I won't get married.

I have been practicing hard for many years, and I don’t want my cultivation to fall into several realms due to childbirth after I get married.

You see, people in the sect always have a somewhat regretful look when mentioning my father and mother-in-law, as if my mother-in-law stuck to my father and made a happy marriage.

If my father had no interest in my mother-in-law, I don’t think my mother-in-law would have given birth to me for my father. "
