As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

Second, we only recruited less than 30 people this year, and this is the number without screening. How could it be the situation you described?

"Those were all old disciples, but you stayed for less than a year and ran away home. Now, even your fellow disciples can't recognize you!"

"Ah this..."

Hong Li laughed twice, then suddenly froze, took the spirit stone away, looked at it from another angle, and said in surprise: "By the way, isn't this the alchemy room? Are they having breakfast here?

How long have I been away? You even moved the cafeteria?

Why did you change the original one when it was fine? "

"Don't mention it, it's very strange."

Jin Xiu couldn't help but hold his forehead in silence after hearing Hong Li's words, and explained: "Elder Yao and Elder Dan have retreated behind the scenes. Did you know about this?"

"Ah, I have heard something about it."

Hongli nodded. She remembered that before they left, they had made an agreement that they would retire and enjoy their old age if they could return safely this time.

Fortunately, Hongli is very supportive, otherwise who knows what would have happened!

"And they both can't sit still."

Jin Xiu sighed: "I have nothing to do, I just got a sinecure, I just hang around in the sect all day, running around and playing..."

"Ah this..."

"I don't know what new ideas they came up with. They suddenly thought of visiting the cafeteria kitchen. They said that food is similar to elixir, and food supplements combine the strengths of both..."

Jin Xiu scratched his head and said, "Oh, it's just weird. They started cooking while they were watching, and the food they made tasted weird.

But they still insisted that this was more nutritious, that eating it would help them grow taller and stronger and promote their cultivation, etc. It was really weird!"

"And this is not over yet..."

Jin Xiu sighed repeatedly, flew through the crowd, and couldn't help but look back and take a few more glances.

“The people in charge of food in the cafeteria saw their jobs being taken over by the two retired elders and their apprentices.

After thinking about it, I ran to the alchemy room to try my luck and made a pill the size of a fist. I don't know how effective it is, but it tastes good anyway.

There are fried meatballs, bean-based meatballs, spicy chicken meatballs... I was lucky enough to try a few of them, and they were really delicious!"

Hongli: "..."

"And then it became like this?"

Hong Li looked compassionate: "After I left, has everyone been living in such dire straits?

As expected, the sect would be in complete chaos without me!

But Heiyang brother also needs his sister's love. On one hand, there is the friendship of fellow disciples, and on the other hand, there is the greedy man. It is really difficult to make a choice!"

"Oh, come on, it's still hard to decide. I can only say that I understand everything."

Jin Xiu couldn't help rolling her eyes and waving her hands.

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's nothing serious. As long as the cooks don't run to the medical hall and replace the infusion medicine with millet porridge or eight-treasure porridge, nothing serious will happen!"

Hongli: "..."

"Hey, hey, hey! What you said is not serious, okay! They are terrorists!"

"Don't worry, we have someone watching over us. We in the Five Elements Sect have seen all kinds of storms. Didn't we survive the mass food poisoning back then?"

Hongli: "..."

"Oh, here we are."

Jin Xiu stopped talking, and Hong Li looked in the direction he was looking. She saw a rock pillar standing high in the sky, reaching into the clouds, and a small house sitting alone on the rock pillar.

The hut was surrounded by thorns, surrounded by a dark aura, a raging sea of ​​fire, murderous sword energy, floating rocks all over the sky, and a faint array pattern emerging in the air, giving people a sense of danger.

"Hey, do you see that little house up there?"

Jin Xiu raised his head and pointed to the sky, introducing: "That is Senior Brother Yin Zisheng's office. Isn't it very unique?"

Hongli: "..."

This must be a prison! This must be a prison!

“This office…”

Hong Li organized her words and said with a wry smile, "It's true that one man can block a thousand men!"

"uh-huh."

Jin Xiu nodded: "So I need to adjust myself and get through in the best condition!"

Hongli: “?”

"No, you still have to break in?"

Hong Li was puzzled: "Isn't this the defensive measure you guys made? Don't you have a quick and convenient way to skip class? Don't you have a back door?"

"There's no shortcut, but I remember the correct route!"

Jin Xiu proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "If even we can easily pass through this defense, how can it trap Brother?"

Hongli: "..."

It really is a prison!

"Okay, okay, go do something else first!"

Jin Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Give me about twenty minutes!"

The screen went black.

"Uh, okay..."

Hongli nodded, glanced around, and frowned slightly.

[Hongli: Yang~hungry~food~]

[Heiyang: Wait, wait, I'm checking out. By the way, why did the price of beef noodles at Lao Tang go up by half a cent? When did it happen?]

[Hongli: It’s been half a month, oh, let’s not talk about that for now, hurry up! ]

[Heiyang: Okay, here I come.]

"Hey!"

Heiyang suddenly appeared beside Hongli, holding two large bowls of beef noodle soup. Before he could say anything, his hands were empty.

"Huh, are both bowls brought to me?"

Hongli said happily: "Heiyang, you are so nice. I won't be polite then!"

"Go ahead, one bowl per person, buy more if you don't have enough."

Heiyang rolled his eyes and reached out to take the beef noodles that Hongli handed over. He knew that Hongli was just joking and one bowl of rice was enough to fill her stomach.

As for other energy consumption, just drink the spiritual energy in the northwest wind to replenish it, ahem…

"click"

A huge rock split in the middle into two pieces with smooth cut surfaces. Heiyang and Hongli sat on it back to back, drinking soup and eating noodles.

"I think next time you can go to the shop in the north and order some Jiang Xiang Bing. I think it goes really well with beef noodles, especially the soup. Mmm, so delicious!"

Hongli's little face was flushed, and she leaned against Heiyang's back with a satisfied expression.

"What is happiness? This is happiness!"

"Eat without talking or sleeping without talking."

Heiyang glanced at Hongli.

"Don't listen, don't listen, Black Yang chants!"

Hongli snorted softly.

"As we all know, many deals are discussed at the dinner table. Well, sometimes they are also discussed in bed, but that is usually more dirty, ahem...

In short, when everyone is eating and talking, you, Heiyang, who is silent, are the abnormal one! "

"No way, I'm used to it."

Heiyang slurped his noodles. In his previous life, he had no time to talk while eating. He ate voraciously for fear that there would not be enough time between classes. That was why he developed the habit of not talking while eating.

However, the pace of life in the travel world is much slower, and there is no need to rush to eat. In the words of my parents, "eat slowly and no one will snatch the food from you."

However, Heiyang felt that not talking while eating could help one concentrate and enjoy the food more, so he only changed this habit halfway.

Of course, if you attend a banquet or something like that, you still have to speak properly, otherwise people will think you are impolite - so Heiyang rarely attends banquets or the like.

Among Heiyang and Hongli's peers from the same city, there were many "carefree and romantic" young men and ladies who would book a room every few days to have a meal together, recite poems, paint, etc., looking very upper-class and elegant.

I invited Heiyang and Hongli several times at the beginning, but I found that they always stood aside, so I just ignored them.

Heiyang and Hongli felt that they and their peers did not seem to live in the same world. They had dinner parties, poetry gatherings, listened to music, watched plays, and occasionally held martial arts competitions.

As for Heiyang Hongli at that time, he stayed in bed, ate snacks, and drank tea under the viewing tree...

If they didn't fight with each other so often, it would be like an old man and an old woman living a retirement life...

But now, some of my peers have unfortunately passed away, some have gone out to do business, some have been taken to the capital by their elders to get a place to practice, and some have married, had children and started working...

I can only see a few more of them during the Chinese New Year. Most of the time, it is difficult for that group of people of the same age to get together. After all, Wuse City is really just a small place and opportunities are still rare.

Because there are ancestral tombs of the Wu Se family and many fellow villagers nearby, and for some special reasons, there has never been any intention to expand the project, and there are even quite a lot of vacant land left!

Generally speaking, the population loss in Wuse City in recent years is much greater than the population gain, and more and more young and middle-aged people have gone out to develop.

For example, you could seek refuge with relatives in the capital, or rent a house in the Five Elements City, where you could get close to the water and get the moon first. Maybe you could try your luck and be admitted to the Immortal Gate. Even if you are not selected, few will come back...

This city is getting quieter and quieter, but sometimes there is some fresh blood injected... Speaking of which...

Heiyang drank up the beef noodle soup in the bowl, let out a long breath, stretched his head to look at Hongli who was still eating noodles, and chatted casually: "When I went out just now, I heard someone say that Bai Shitou is a father, and Qiqi from the Huang family has been pregnant for a long time and may give birth at any time.

We are all the same age, but we have become our parents. It makes me feel like I have skipped the prime of life and grown old. "

"Bai Shitou, that guy, isn't he the naughty kid who gets scolded the most every day, second only to the two of us. I never thought he could be with the sister from the Zhao family."

Hong Li ate while talking: "As for Huang Qiqi, well, I'm not very familiar with her. I've only heard of her and met her a few times, but I don't remember her. What does she look like?"

"Not as good-looking as you."

"walk slowly."

Hongli nodded, pushed the long hair that was about to run into the bowl back to her head, and suddenly spoke.

"How many children do you plan to have?"

"what?"

Heiyang was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Xiao Li, what did you just say?"

“Ah, cough…”

Hongli's body shook violently and she was almost choked to death by the soup.

"Ahem, well, I didn't say anything. I was just singing. Are you ready, kids? Are you ready? The boat, ahem... um!"

Heiyang: "Hmm (three times)?"

"Ah this, ugh, ahhhh!"

Hongli seemed to be a little annoyed and kicked her legs a few times, then took a gulp of beef noodle soup, her cheeks puffed up, and she said incoherently: "Well, that, ah ah ah, I'm asking you! Just to ask, how many do you want!"

"Child?"

Heiyang suddenly realized.

"What else could it be! Could it be me singing?!"

Hongli swallowed the soup in her mouth, wiped the corner of her mouth, turned her head and looked at Heiyang fiercely.

"Hurry up and tell me if you want a few, tell me in advance so I can be mentally prepared!"

"Ah this..."

The corner of Heiyang's mouth twitched: "Didn't I say before that if there are no accidents, we will only have one small fire. If you want more, we can talk about it and make plans later!"

"Fuck! The unknown is the scariest thing, right?"

Hongli curled her lips and said faintly, "One day, Hongli was happily eating snacks and reading a novel.
