In fact, even if you are cheated, there is nothing you can do about it.

Their family is so poor that if they continue like this, they will almost be unable to open the pot.

Father Guo had thought before that if his children were given to others to raise, it would be able to reduce the burden on the family.

But who to send out is another question.

There is basically no difference between sending other children away and not sending them away.

Because Guo Xiaoshan is almost a child who doesn't have enough to eat. No matter how much food he cooks every day, there is not enough for him to eat.

As for sending Guo Xiaoshan out, he had thought about it.

However, the folks in the village all know Guo Xiaoshan's appetite, but no one dares to take in this foodie. This has been delayed until now, and Guo's father has not come up with any solution.

Until today, this white-browed Taoist priest who seemed to have an extraordinary temperament came to the door, saying that he had taken a fancy to his son and planned to accept Guo Xiaoshan as his disciple.

This immediately made Father Guo very excited.

If the Taoist priest was willing to take Xiao Shanzi in, their family would immediately be relieved of a huge burden. At the very least, they would be able to save a lot of food, and they would no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat for the whole family every day.

However, he was also afraid that the white-browed Taoist Priest did not know the actual situation of his son. If after taking Xiao Shanzi away, he found that he was too edible and drove Xiao Shanzi away, wouldn't he have harmed his son?

So he told Qi Yuan bluntly that his son could eat a lot at every meal.

If the Taoist priest no longer wanted to accept his son as a disciple, he had nothing to do, but it would be much better than being discovered by the other party and driving away his son afterwards.

But how did he know that Qi Yuan, as the Nine Heavens East Chef who was entrusted by the Heavenly Court and ordered Taiyi Yuanhuang to be the God of Fortune, was not only in charge of the Kitchen God, but also in charge of all food and drink matters for all living beings in the three realms. How could he be afraid that Guo Xiaoshan would eat too much?

Even if he can eat, can he still defeat the Kitchen God himself?

So Qi Yuan said with a smile that it didn't matter, it was nothing if he could eat a little, it was just a child, he could still afford it.

Fortunately, his dress, appearance and demeanor were incomparable to others, so he easily gained the approval of Father Guo.

At this moment, Guo Xiaoshan couldn't help but remain silent for a moment when facing his father's question.

Although he was straightforward and simple-minded, he could see that his father wanted to send him away.

But he knows the situation at home, and he also knows that he is the best one in the family.

In fact, he has restrained his appetite very much. He tries not to eat too much every day, but he can't stand the fact that the food at home is getting less and less. Even if he drinks gruel every day, it is not enough for the family.

He looked back at his sister who was surrounding her mother in the kitchen. Her thin figure was so dazzling in his eyes.

So he just remained silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "My child is willing."

He actually didn't know what it meant to learn Taoism, nor did he know what would happen after he left with the Taoist in front of him.

He only knew that if he was no longer in the family, his father and mother would not be so tired, and his two brothers and little sister would be able to eat more.

Therefore, he simply agreed.

"well……"

Father Guo let out a long sigh and reached out to touch his head. He found that his son was now a little taller than him. It seemed that he had grown taller in the past few months.

He turned around and patted his son's thick shoulder and said, "Dad is incompetent. Our family is so poor that we can't even give you a full meal.

From now on, when you follow the Taoist Priest, you must be obedient and don't make the Taoist Priest unhappy, do you hear me?"

"Yes, kid, write it down."

Guo Xiaoshan agreed, after all, he was still a child who had not grown up. As he spoke, tears could no longer stand in his eyes, but he just tried not to fall down.

"Taoist Priest, this child will be left to you from now on."

As Father Guo said, he pulled his son in front of Qi Yuan and gave him a gentle push: "Kneel down, kowtow, and call me Master!"

Guo Xiaoshan fell to his knees with a bang, bang bang bang, kowtowed several times, and shouted: "Master..."

However, when he knelt down, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out, and fell to the ground drop by drop.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, stretched out his hand to pull Guo Xiaoshan up, and said to Guo's father: "Don't worry, since this child is under Pindao's sect, Pindao will naturally teach him well and won't treat him badly."

."

"That's good, that's good."

Father Guo's eyes were also a little moist. After all, leaving his child in the hands of a strange Taoist, he would inevitably be a little worried. At this time, hearing Qi Yuan say this, he felt a lot more relieved.

In the kitchen, Guo's mother is cooking.

The yard is simple, and the so-called kitchen is just a shed supported by a few logs. From such a close distance, of course, the conversation between them can be heard clearly.

Mother Guo's eyes turned red, but she resisted turning around.

However, while cooking, I added an extra bowl of corn to the pot, hoping that my son would eat more later.

After eating this meal, I wonder how he will live outside in the future?

As a mother, she is more worried about her son than Guo's father.

However, the situation at home is like this, and she can't change anything.

Guo Xiaoshan kowtowed to Qi Yuan, stood up and stood directly behind Qi Yuan, indicating that he would follow him from now on.

Qi Yuan looked at his firm but somewhat confused eyes, then at the children at the door looking at Guo Xiaoshan eagerly, and at Guo's mother in the kitchen who was crying while washing rice.

Even though her tears fell into the rice water, she still managed not to look back.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, as if he had done something bad.

But then he put this thought behind him.

He didn't do anything wrong.

Guo Xiaoshan is extremely talented, so it is a pity to spend his life in this remote mountain village.

On the contrary, if he follows his own practice, he will succeed in learning, slay demons, and benefit the human race, so that his talents will not be wasted.

What's more, given the current situation of the Guo family, if the child doesn't go with him, the Guo family may not be able to support him, and it's doubtful whether they can even raise the child.

Rather than stay here and suffer from hunger, it is better to go to the mountains with yourself to practice Taoism.

Qi Yuan took a few steps forward and came to the kitchen. He opened their rice vat and found that there was not much corn left in it.

So he stretched out his hand and pulled the corns into a basket nearby. Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the family, Qi Yuan took out a cloth bag about a foot in size, opened the mouth of the bag, poured it into the rice vat, and suddenly there was

Many crystal-clear rice grains were poured into the vat.

This is a kind of spiritual rice produced in the spiritual fields of heaven.

When the rice jar was full, Qi Yuan put away the bag, turned around and said to Guo's mother with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't eat your corn today. Just cook some pearl rice to eat today."

Mother Guo was stunned and quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

Although she was surprised by Qi Yuan's methods, she was relieved a lot when she remembered that the other party was a Taoist, and that the other party was obviously a real Taoist immortal with such a hand.

Since he was a truly upright immortal, he probably would not harm her son. If his son left with him, she would no longer be so worried.

However, she hesitantly looked at the corn she was washing, and then at the crystal clear pearl rice in the rice vat. Although she was a little moved, she was not willing to throw away the corn.

Qi Yuan said with a smile: "If sister-in-law is reluctant, you can keep the corn to eat tomorrow. You might as well use the pearl rice to make a meal today and have a good time with Xiao Shanzi. I will pick him up tomorrow morning."

"

Hearing Qi Yuan say that he would not take away his son immediately, Guo's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, when the other party saw that her family was poor, she even took the initiative to give this vat of food. She knew it must be very expensive food. She felt that her son had really met a noble person this time, so she put down her worries.

On the contrary, I am happy for my son.

Qi Yuan did not leave immediately, but smiled and pointed out how to wash pearl rice like this to Guo Mu, and how much water should be added when cooking.

The spiritual energy contained in pearl spiritual rice is actually not too much, otherwise Qi Yuan would not dare to take it out for the Guo family to eat.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this kind of spiritual rice is extremely mild, so it is just right for a few members of the Guo family to eat. They usually only need to grab a few handfuls to cook a pot of gruel, and the spiritual energy in it is enough to keep them going without eating for a whole day.

Will feel hungry.

It just allows them to no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat, and it can also improve their health. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

However, he still warned: "This is the spiritual rice that can only be produced in the blessed land. You should not use these spiritual rice as seed food. There is not enough spiritual energy in the ordinary land to support this kind of spiritual rice to take root and sprout. Even if it grows,

Even if it comes out, it will basically not produce seeds.

And you only need to eat one meal of this kind of rice every day. Don’t eat too much, otherwise your body will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy in it.

Also remember not to tell other people about this matter, otherwise it will only cause trouble for you if it attracts other people's covetous attention."

Father Guo and Mother Guo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

At this time, they already believed that Qi Yuan was a truly virtuous god, otherwise there would be no such means.

It is an honor for their family that the gods can accept their son as their disciple.

The things given by gods are absolutely priceless treasures to mortals, and they are not willing to give these treasures to others.

So Father Guo turned around and scolded several of his children, warning them not to tell anyone what happened today.

After Qi Yuan gave some instructions, he stood up and left, leaving time for their family.

When the rice is cooked, each piece will be crystal clear, like pearls.
