fairy wife

The next day, Qiuqiu got up and went to the flower garden to take care of and help. The garden was full of colorful flowers blooming vigorously, and it made people feel happy just looking at it.The person who took care of the garden was an elderly woman, and everyone called her Aunt Yan.She is often silent and sits for a long time without moving.Qiuqiu has been here for nearly half a year, and I can count on one hand what she has said.

When Qiuqiu cleaned up and took care of the flower garden again, and went to place the watering can and cut flowers, Aunt Yan looked up at her.

"You don't have a teacher?"

Qiuqiu nodded.

Aunt Yan watched her put everything away, and then carefully closed the cabinet door.

Qiuqiu suddenly heard someone behind him say: "I take you as a disciple, are you willing to worship under my sect?"

Qiuqiu turned around in surprise.

Aunt Yan looked at her indifferently, her expression was the same.

Qiuqiu almost wondered if she heard it wrong, Aunt Yan didn't speak just now.

"Are you willing to worship under my door?"

Qiuqiu nodded without much hesitation.

Aunt Yan still said indifferently: "Then let's do the apprentice ceremony."

Aunt Yan obviously doesn't have much cultivation, so she is her teacher and learns how to plant flowers and weeds. In the future, she may take over Aunt Yan's job and continue to take care of this flower garden.

There is nothing wrong with this, if you can learn something, you will have a craft in the future, and you will be able to settle down.

Although Aunt Yan didn't talk much, Qiuqiu didn't think she was indifferent.

She just... has a lot on her mind.

As people live for a long time, there will always be many things in their hearts.

Qiuqiu had already started thinking about it.When she reaches Aunt Yan's age in the future, she will probably guard the flower garden like this, and take in a more obedient and honest apprentice...

I have to say that sometimes Qiuqiu thinks far enough.

In this miscellaneous room next to the flower garden, Qiuqiu just knelt down and performed the simplest ceremony of apprenticeship.

There was no incense bathing, no silk and bamboo friendship, no official school name, not even a witness to the ceremony.

After she kowtowed, Aunt Yan didn't let her get up.

She held out her hand.He touched Qiuqiu's head.

Her hands are dry and warm.

The relationship between master and apprentice seems to have been born and passed on at this moment.

Aunt Yan passed on Qiuqiu's mentality, and asked her to memorize it silently and practice it every day.

This is probably what senior sister Su Xun said last time, the most basic way to get started in Ziyu Pavilion.

Qiuqiu moved out of the house she was living in now, and moved to live with Aunt Yan beside the flower garden.

After moving to another place, my life has not changed much.She still takes care of the flowers and plants every day, does some chores for Aunt Yan, and serves tea and water.If there is any difference, it is probably that she practices that mental method once a day in the morning and evening.

Aunt Yan's appearance is not impressive in Ziyu Pavilion, a sect full of beauties, and her face has been marked by wind and frost early on, unlike other people.You can't tell your age.

After staying in the school for a long time, no one specifically told her.But Qiuqiu finally knew what kind of sect Ziyu Pavilion was...

What to say?

It's really hard to describe.

Qiuqiu really didn't know where to start.

Ziyu Pavilion... is a sect that mainly cultivates with the combination of dual cultivators and joint cultivation...

Qiuqiu has no prejudice against this matter, really no prejudice.

There are tens of thousands of roads in the world, you go your way, others go other people's way.

But Qiuqiu herself...well, if she is really accepted as an apprentice by some real person, she will definitely follow the same path as others in the future, maybe with someone she doesn't know at all.Emotionless people do that kind of thing...

She can't get over this hurdle in her heart.

This kind of thing should be done with people who like and are in love with each other, and people who have no feelings should do it together.It's just for the sake of cultivation, each takes what he wants, no matter how he thinks it feels strange, it's like a deal, she really can't accept it mentally.

Although her master is not a powerful person in the sect, and she does not have a Taoist name, but now she has the same treatment as other disciples, and everyone is polite when they meet each other.Qiuqiu heard about some other seniors in the sect.For example, for one Elder Pan, there are two or three fixed...well, Taoist companions.During the year, these few people would sometimes come over and share a room with Elder Pan, sometimes for a few days, and sometimes for a month or two before leaving.The time of their arrival was staggered, and they must have known each other's existence, but they had never met face to face.

Elder Pan has such a few Taoist couples, and they live a very comfortable life.The relationship between them is about the same as that of lovers, and there is a little bit of affection, but it is definitely not to the point of being a couple for life.Qiuqiu thought, if these people have feelings for each other, how can they allow a third or fourth person to intervene?If you don't have affection, it doesn't look like it.When every lover comes, Elder Pan is lively and sweet like a girl, and they get along lovingly like a husband and wife.

Qiuqiu thought, she really didn't understand this kind of relationship and mentality.

Probably... Four words can sum it up: acting on the spot.

Feelings are not necessarily fake, but feelings also exist for a certain purpose.

So thinking about it this way, Qiuqiu felt that maybe it was a good thing that she wasn't selected in that selection.Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to face this reality now.

Others in the sect may not have struggles and conflicts in their hearts.But one good thing is that many disciples were taken into the sect when they were young, many of them were three or four years old, and they didn't understand anything at all.They grew up here, and all they have learned from what they listened to and watched from a young age is that they would not find it awkward to do so, nor would they be entangled in their hearts. For them, these things are natural and justified, just like tigers Eating meat, the seasons change, and the river flows eastward, so there is nothing abnormal about it.

For example, Senior Sister Su Yun, she now has two or three relatively regular companions, one of whom, Qiuqiu, has met once, and she is not young - she has a beard, how young can she be?Of the remaining two, one seemed to be a middle-aged man, and the other Qiuqiu had never been seen before.

The scope of activities of these guests is also limited, and they will not wander around in the Ziyu Pavilion. Little disciples like Qiuqiu and the others basically cannot see these people.

Even Senior Sister Su Xun, who is very kind and doesn't look flamboyant, has companions.

Generally, this kind of relationship will not be fixed permanently. After a few years or more than ten years, everyone may not be able to help each other, or the cultivation level of one party is far from that of the other party, and it is not appropriate to double cultivation together, or they may get tired of each other. We will be separated.There are even cases where sisters from the same sect practice double cultivation with one person successively or even at the same time.

From another perspective, this is actually a good thing.When mortals become husband and wife, women are always the weaker side.Being bullied by men, being bullied by in-laws, raising children, being filial to the elders and managing the housework, going through a lifetime of hard work, not being able to wear a single piece of good clothes, not being able to eat a bite of good food, what is left behind in the end?These girls in Ziyu Pavilion don't have to have children, and they don't have to suffer from any kind of cowardice. They can live freely and find a man to double cultivate. They can practice spiritually and satisfy their emotional and physical needs.

Therefore, everyone has their own way of life, and no one can define whose way of life is righteous and whose way of life is evil.

In the twinkling of an eye, winter came, and the weather suddenly became cold.It was the first time for Qiuqiu to spend winter in Ziyu Pavilion. Even in winter, the female disciples competed for beauty and dressed in colorful clothes. The flower garden of Ziyu Pavilion is more lively than other seasons at the moment. Flowers, spices and powders that are different from others have to go to the flower garden.

After coming and going, Qiuqiu's popularity in the sect has been mixed, and she has heard a lot of gossip, most of which are basically true.A small part sounds a bit exaggerated, but it should also be based on facts.

Some people say that during the Chinese New Year, a big person will come.

What kind of big shot?It is said that it is only one step away from enlightenment and immortality.

The person who spread the gossip whispered in Qiuqiu's ear, "I heard it's an old friend of the head of the sect."

Wow, the head's girlfriend, that must be extraordinary.As the head of the sect, he naturally has to set an example for the disciples in the sect. If he doesn't find a rich, handsome and double-cultivated person, then the disciples below will not agree.

Besides, there are other considerations for the head to find someone with a strong background.The real elders in the sect are not vegetarians. If any elder finds a powerful foreign aid, it is very likely that they will take away the position of the head of the sect and become the king on their own.

But little disciples like them can't know about the head of the sect. What they know is gossip.

But one thing is certain, the head of the sect must have a good friend, otherwise, if no one supports her, she cannot be the head of the sect steadily.What's more, this friend is very low-key, no one in Ziyu Pavilion seems to have seen him.

Compared with these gossips, what surprises Qiuqiu the most is that the master also has a, uh, lover.

Compared with other people in the sect, the master looks a bit more vicissitudes, but she is not actually old.Qiuqiu always thought that Master was an outlier in this sect, and his path was different from others.

So when Master had a guest, when she was in charge of serving tea, she was in a state of chaos.

The master said with a slight smile: "Meet the real Jin soon." Then he said to the guest: "This is my disciple."

Jin Zhenren had three long beards, wore a light blue Taoist robe, and wore a long sword at his waist.

After Qiuqiu paid his respects, he smiled and took out a small box, which was a meeting gift for Qiuqiu.

Master's smile was full of satisfaction.

Jin Zhenren was able to treat her apprentice like this, of course it was because of his sincerity towards her.

Although because of the sect's rules, she couldn't leave the sect to be with him - he also had many things he couldn't let go of, but the relationship between the two of them was different from the companions other people in the sect found.

It's not the kind of relationship where each one takes what they need.

His attitude towards her was not coping or contemptuous, and she never asked for anything from him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
