[Xiu Xian] Master, let's talk about life

008

"Ah Huai, I don't understand." Chen Dabao said in a deep voice, frowning while resting his chin.

Liu Huai held a writing brush stained with cinnabar, with a serious and sacred expression: "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Are you a Master Talisman?"

Liu Huai spread the talisman paper evenly on the table. The ordinary talisman paper seemed to have life in his hands. When he wrote, there was a golden flash on the edge——

After the cinnabar pen was dropped, it was completed in one go, and the lines like flowing water jumped on the paper. When the line was finished, when the pen was lifted, the talisman paper was lightly shaken, and a mighty fresh air was released.

"I heard that only masters who have entered the Tao through talismans can use ordinary talisman paper and cinnabar to make useful talismans."

Looking at this successful talisman, Liu Huai's frown slightly relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared in his eyes. He said, "Oh? There is another saying, I don't know."

Chen Dabao quickly said: "Oh, Meng Xiaobao probably lied to me again, after all he is a useless spell...but then again..."

Watching Liu Huai paste the talisman paper on his lap, Chen Dabao felt the heat from the talisman paper, thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help it: "Then Ah Huai, don't you think that the talisman paper you pasted is , is it too much?"

On Chen Dabao's legs, hundreds of talisman papers were densely pasted layer upon layer, so that he now looks like a mummy wrapped in red and white bandages. At a glance, those legs can completely become A nightmare for trypophobia sufferers.In fact, all the talisman papers in his inventory were exhausted, and there was not even much cinnabar left, and more importantly——

"It's too heavy! Do you know how heavy my legs are now! I was fine and now they are crushed!!!"

Liu Huai raised her hand to stop Chen Dabao from screaming in dismay: "You don't have to worry, I added a light body part to the talisman, and it will never damage your legs again."

"If you have time to do this, why don't you want to reduce the number of talismans? It's July now! July! I'll be covered with prickly heat!"

Liu Huai said again: "To be on the safe side, I think you should be more cautious—not to mention the sword on your leg... the poisonous gas will make you feel cold, so it's not really too hot."

Chen Dabao didn't notice Liu Huai's slip of the tongue, he looked at his legs thoughtfully, felt the cold feeling that was still radiating from the inside despite being wrapped layer upon layer, and said: "It's really so—— —It's amazing..."

No, this is not a question of miraculous or not.

Chen Dabao came to his senses: "Wait a minute, haven't I been poisoned?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Is it useful to treat it from the outside? Don't you need to take the antidote internally?"

Looking at Chen Dabao's eyes full of thirst for knowledge, Liu Huai swallowed and said, "This, this is just an emergency measure! It is to prevent the toxins entrenched in the legs from spreading throughout the body."

"That's it..." Chen Dabao suddenly realized, "Wait, wait a minute, doesn't this mean that I am still in danger? What should I do? I don't want to die!"

Chen Dabao looked at Liu Huai: "You must save me, Ah Huai."

"……Do not worry!"

Today Liuhuai is already full of confidence.

009

After wrapping Chen Dabao's legs in the talisman, Liuhuai finally heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and looked at the setting sun shining in by the bed, looking at the warm orange light, feeling the heavy guilt from his conscience, and getting some relief.

Seeing the boy's gradually rosy face and gradually recovering anger, he nodded in relief, but the next second, he saw the boy frowned in pain.

"Ah...Ah...Ah...Huai..." Chen Dabao's voice sounded weak.

Liu Huai worried: "What's the matter with you, but there is still something uncomfortable."

Chen Dabao frowned slightly, and his cheeks were flushed. I don't know if it was because of shyness or the afterglow of the setting sun: "Although it is a bit hard to say, I have actually had such troubles since a few hours ago, but I have been doing things all the time. You didn't ask for it, so I feel that I shouldn't bother you too much, but..."

——"Gululu~"

Such a sound came from the place called the belly by humans.

"..."

"Ah Huai, I'm so hungry."

"..."

"...So, do you know how to cook?"

010

"You are really tall, rich and handsome." Lying on the bed with the quilt on his back, Chen Dabao sighed, "You are so knowledgeable and powerful in spells, yet you don't know how to cook."

Liu Huai put the steamed rice on the table, and steam came out of the rice, hiding Liu Huai's expressionless and serious face in it.

——Ah, it’s really hard to talk about failing eight times in a row so that the rice tank is empty, what should I do, I always feel like I can’t tell Chen Dabao, what should I do tomorrow...

When Liu Huai was thinking about this with empty eyes, Chen Dabao said again: "Ah, but speaking of it, you said yesterday that you have already grown grains, so it is human nature not to know how to cook."

Liu Huai's eyes lit up immediately: That's right, I can save my share.

"I don't know how long it will take to go to the ground - looking at the situation in front of me, it won't work in the short term, but luckily I just purchased it before, and it will definitely be fine in ten days and a half months~"

——has become a problem!

Liu Huai took out a few stacks of cold dishes and bowls and chopsticks with a heavy hand.

Chen Dabao stretched his neck and took a look at the rice cooker: "Wow, you've cooked a lot, I'm sure I won't be able to finish it—it will be broken again tomorrow..."

"I can cast a freezing spell." Liu Huai said.

"Oh, really, that would be wonderful."

Seeing Chen Dabao's comprehensible smile, Liu Huai finally decided to say what he had been brewing in his heart for a long time. After all, there is no such thing as rice, and it can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden forever.

"Dabao, actually..."

"A Huai is really amazing!" Chen Dabao looked at Liu Huai with a smile, "You know so many things, and you were so successful in cooking for the first time. You seem to be the kind of person who is good at everything."

Liu Huai silently swallowed the words that were about to be spoken.

——Let’s solve the rice problem by ourselves.Liuhuai decided so.

011

In this way, Chen Dabao encountered another problem.

——This is more difficult to talk about than eating.Chen Dabao thought.

Ah Huai has helped me so much, it's really not good for me to bother him with this kind of thing.

But I can't bear this kind of thing. If I don't control it for a while, won't it become more disgusting?

Oops, I've been thinking about it and it's getting more and more obvious.

Chen Dabao looked at his hands, and always felt that it might be faster to strangle him to death with his hands now.

——Then, let’s talk about it.

Chen Dabao closed his eyes resignedly to death.

Even if you will be hated and rejected because of this, there is nothing you can do about it. Even if the other party is a person as pure as a god, if you encounter such a problem, you must definitely face it directly.

Ah, life always faces various challenges...

"... Dabao, do you want to make it convenient?"

"...It's troublesome."

012

In the darkness, Chen Dabao suddenly opened his eyes.

—I thought of it!

As if the supreme light appeared in the darkness, such a cry came from his heart.

——Sure enough, that’s right!If so, everything can be explained!

he thought so.

Facing the dim moonlight, scenes after meeting Liu Huai seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

In any case, what happened after meeting Liu Huai was too coincidental.

Just happened to have no place to live, and he was injured as soon as he moved in. The injury he suffered had nothing to do with him, but he still tried his best to take care of himself—at the same time, what was even more suspicious was that he seemed to be a talisman master, His cultivation is definitely above Foundation Establishment, he looks handsome, and he is omnipotent...

It's really strange how such a person takes care of me in a small village at the foot of the mountain.

So far, there is only one conclusion that can explain all this.

In the noisy night wind, Chen Dabao listened to the singing of cicadas, with a determined smile on the corner of his mouth.

——Sure enough, it appeared!

— my golden finger!

013

It's still a nice day today.

Liu Huai got up early in the morning, made a pot of tea, and dried out the futon and the quilt that had been in the cabinet for a long time.

Knowing that the cicadas were chirping loudly in the treetops, the air in the morning was still slightly cool and humid, and the scorching sunshine of July hadn't had time to show its clues in the morning.

After Liu Huai poured the washing water on the ground, she felt Chen Dabao wake up.

"Dabao, would you like to drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first?"

"Hearing you call me Dabao, I get goosebumps all over my body for some reason—well, let's have some tea."

The refreshing green tea has the fragrance of plums and the slightly astringent saltiness of table salt.

"...This is hair."

014

"Isn't this how you make tea?" Liu Huai humbly asked for advice while sitting on a chair in the room.

"I don't know either—anyway, I'm not used to drinking tea with so many ingredients." Chen Dabao poked through the ingredients with his chopsticks, and found plums, tangerine peel, and ginger.

——It's terrible...

Thinking of this, Chen Dabao raised his head and said: "It's nothing, why don't we have tea and rice."

Liu Huai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Can you still make rice?"

"Yeah, it's okay. Anyway, you have frozen the leftover cold rice from yesterday - it's absolutely amazing to drink it with hot tea and serve it with pickled radish. Well, although your tea tastes a bit strong."

Liu Huai, whose name was inexplicably added to the lunch list, did not reject Chen Dabao's kindness. He thought to himself that Chen Dabao must be very lonely eating alone.

The rice was sprinkled with tea, and immediately exuded a refreshing aroma. Liu Huai imitated Chen Dabao, and served two slices of pickled radish on the rice. Seeing Chen Dabao eating with gusto, he couldn't help but feel his index finger twitch.

——Well, it feels like I haven't eaten for a long time.

Thinking of this, Liu Huai lowered her chopsticks.

——Hmm...it's delicious.

Liu Huai, I don't know how old she is, a master of talismans, a master of incantations, not good at housework, and starting today has new expectations for the world.
