The new year is approaching again
Master Shiraishi has never been praised so generously in his life.
Ling Yan naturally knew that his apprentices were all good, but being held so warmly by someone in front of him made Ling Yan feel a little dizzy...
Maybe it’s the preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner that have laid the foundation for the New Year atmosphere, maybe it’s the wine at the New Year’s Eve dinner that’s too mellow and the water used to warm the wine is too hot, maybe it’s the red candles in the hall that warm the nightlight, or maybe it’s everyone’s uncontrollable smiles
The enthusiasm and sincerity touched Tao's heart. Maybe it was because he really liked such a warm dinner table and words...
Who doesn’t enjoy living in a year like this?
After this warm and intoxicating New Year's Eve dinner, Ming Yan took his twins and young children to the yard to light firecrackers. With the sound of "cracking" and the happy screams of the little disciples, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively.
Shaoqing Mountain has only had a cold fairy atmosphere for thousands of years, but now it feels a bit more warm.
After this New Year, Master will suddenly praise others.
It's not like before, where the praise was a bit rigid and rigid, but when you see some advantages and benefits, you are full of praise. Even the disciples sometimes feel that it is just a normal thing, but the master can praise it like a flower!
When complimenting, he also used body language such as smiling, nodding, patting the shoulders, touching the head, etc., which made several disciples full of confidence, doubled their motivation, and looked forward to practicing every day. They deeply felt that they had unlimited potential, but if they didn't practice hard,
How can I be worthy of Master’s kindness?
Moreover, the disciples all felt that Master's whole person seemed to have softened a lot. To them, Ling Yan before was more like a "teacher" and someone they respected and admired; after that, he was more like a "father" and was loved and loved by others.
Of.
Therefore, it has become a custom to celebrate the New Year on Shaoqing Mountain. When the New Year is approaching, everyone automatically takes charge of the preparation tasks.
After completing the daily practice, everyone started bustling with activity. Shaoqing Mountain was a little more joyful and busy than before.
Qi Ningzhi was also very curious. When he was a child, there was also a New Year celebration in his family, but it was nowhere near as festive as this. At the end of the year, the clan leader would check everyone's cultivation progress, worship the ancestors as a whole clan, and then divide the clan according to the closeness of blood and the level of cultivation.
We arranged seats to eat, but the food was not very tasty.
The arrival of the new year often means the beginning of the year-end assessment. Everyone only pays attention to which family's children will stand out and be favored during the inspection by the clan leader, and which family will be favored in the allocation of resources for the next year.
After entering the Xuanji Gate, one simply ignores the New Year celebrations. Inside the mountain-protecting formation, which is like spring all year round, people almost forget that there are three days in summer and three days in winter, as well as the winter solstice, Chinese New Year and other festivals and customs.
The teachers have been in seclusion for several years and decades, and the brothers are also working hard every day. For them, the time points are only the middle stage of Qi refining, the late stage, the early stage of foundation building, the middle stage, the late stage, and the early stage of golden elixir... Who can still
Thinking of the New Year!
Now that I have tried other things, I might as well give it a try during the Chinese New Year...
"On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the year 1,562 of the Qing Dynasty, Uncle Meng Lingyan, out of his generosity, asked me to go to the storehouse in Shaoqing Mountain to get it for myself. The treasures are so dazzling that I can't see them all. I found beads of water and fire, and a small stone house, which is quite rare.
.Thinking about my humble heart and my small family’s knowledge, I feel very ashamed. In addition, in order to prepare for the New Year, I went to the mountain with my eighth junior brother and ninth junior sister. We looked for wild fruits in the deep valleys and caught golden pheasants on the half slope.
The beauty of the body technique of the young squid is no less than that of the famous Taoist techniques."
Youtu now felt that Qi Ning was quite a good person, well, much better than his inconspicuous master.
She remembered that one time she went down the mountain with her master to Jiayu Fang, nearby Dafang City, and met an old acquaintance of her master, a sword cultivator from the famous Sword Sect and a female disciple. The two masters had a mutual understanding, and they
A female disciple of similar age also had some exchanges.
At first, when the female disciple saw that she was acquainted with the master and that the young girl had extraordinary aura, she became very affectionate for a while.
When she heard Youtuo chirping about her New Year celebrations at Shaoqing Mountain and other matters, the female disciple's expression suddenly became cold. She found an excuse and stood behind her master. The expression on her face seemed to be that she wanted to talk to her more.
Doing things that have nothing to do with practice is just like delaying your cultivation!
Later, when I talked to my senior brothers, they also said that they had met such people. They claimed to be disciples of famous families, but they were very puzzled by Shao Qingshan's unethical and unethical practices. Some even looked down upon them in person.
From then on, Youtu stopped talking about Shaoqingshan with outsiders. He had few friends and few close friends. The disciples of Shaoqingshan were proud of Shaoqingshan. Why should they be recognized by others? The master taught how to educate his disciples, and his own heart is the criterion.
At the same time, Youtuo also deeply sympathizes with those who look down upon them. Master often said, if you don’t understand the world, how can you see through it? If you don’t follow the world, how can you be an immortal?
I don’t understand these principles! If you don’t have a strong and down-to-earth heart when cultivating the Tao and cultivating your mind, how can you cultivate the Great Way!
Comparing the two, Qi Ningzhi’s understanding is simply second to none!
Therefore, Youtu felt that it was necessary to take Qin Ningzhi to see the preparations for the New Year.
After breakfast that day, Xi Yan helped pack up the equipment for pearl fishing and pulled Ru Song over:
"Second brother, I see that you have recently gained some experience in the use of fire spirit power. Can it be applied to the spirit fire stove in this kitchen? I think there are a few places where the position of the fire spirit stone can be improved. Come and take a look!
"
When Rusong heard the word "perfect" suggested, he felt itchy. He walked around the stove twice and slapped his hands:
"Sure enough! The firepower of the Kan position is a little biased. Let's change the fire spirit stone here. Well, wouldn't it be better to arrange it this way? Let me see..."
Rusong directly picked up a piece of charcoal and pulled it twice: "How about changing it here, carving a small formation, and replacing it with a circle of broken spiritual stones?"
Xi Yan smiled and said:
"I knew that once I put it all together with you, I really have some ideas. There is not much room for this formation to be used, so you have to be more careful and don't let it blow up! It's okay if we can't eat. Auntie Pearl Diver can't hurt her!"
Rusong patted the charcoal ash on his hands and glanced at his senior brother:
"Brother, you really know how to worry! When have I ever made mistakes in my work? Don't worry! It just so happens that this improved principle has been helpful to my recent understanding. I'll go into the small mirror to figure it out, and it will be done in less than two days.
Come on!"
"Why don't I worry about you? I just told you in vain, as long as you know what to do!"
The two brothers high-fived each other and made a plan to further improve Shaoqing Yamaguchi.
Therefore, in Rusong's free time these days, he has to help Aunt Cai Zhu modify the small spirit fire array on the stove so that the meat of those monsters and beasts can be cooked more fragrant, tender and delicious. Aunt Cai Zhu's operation is also
Can be more convenient.
This small spiritual fire array not only uses branches of various spiritual trees to burn fire, but also supplements it with fire arrays and spiritual stones. When it was originally laid, Rusong put a lot of effort into making the array easy to harvest.
Aunt Zhu operates.
Auntie Pearl Diver only needs to press the hub in the array, and the spiritual fire array will be activated. She only needs to be responsible for the cooking and seasoning of the pot noodles, and does not need to worry about the heat.
This is a big deal!
