MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 40
At 5:30 in the morning, Xie Jingyuan put his hands down and stopped practicing.
Although the aura is thin and the practice has no significant effect, Xie Jingyuan still insists on meditating at night after being reborn as a habit developed in his previous life.
Before opening his eyes, Xie Jingyuan looked inside his dantian.
From practicing at the age of two or three to now, he can finally accumulate a little spiritual energy in his dantian, like a puddle on a dry river bed.
This bit of aura is not enough to kill chickens and fish, but Xie Jingyuan experimented with another effect.
Xie Jingyuan got out of bed and came to the desk. There was a pot of four seasons crabapple on the table, with emerald green leaves and a few small flower buds just growing in the middle.
Xie Jingyuan injected a bit of aura into the Four Seasons Begonia.
Flowers and trees can only absorb the basic nutrients in the air or soil unless they are bred with wisdom, and cannot absorb spiritual energy unless people help them.
After Xie Jingyuan injected the spiritual energy, the leaves of the Four Seasons Begonia remained unchanged, but the small flower buds grew up obviously, and the color of the flower buds became redder.
Xie Jingyuan poured some water on Haitang and opened the curtains.
The snow has stopped, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground, reflecting the lights of the street lamps, making the sky look brighter than usual.
Xie Jingyuan went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast first, and when he was almost busy, he went back to his room to wash up.
When he came to the restaurant again, Grandma Tao was already cooking. Xu Shou scooped out the porridge and put it on the dining table. Gu Jialing woke up a little later and was still brushing her teeth.
"It's snowing so thick outside, how do you go to school?" Grandma Tao came out with two dishes and asked worriedly.
Xie Jingyuan: "Let's run, it's not too cold even if there is no wind."
Gu Jialing poked her head out from the bathroom: "Didn't Uncle Su say to drive us?"
Xie Jingyuan: "It's not necessary."
Gu Jialing wailed, but didn't complain anymore.
After eating, the three of them took their schoolbags and waited for Su Miaomiao in the corridor.
Everyone has reached a tacit agreement, three to five minutes later, Su Miaomiao came out, followed by Su Mingan who was putting on a coat.
Xie Jingyuan: "Uncle, go to sleep for a while, let's run to school."
Su Mingan let out an "ah" and subconsciously said, "How cold is that? Let's take the car."
Su Miaomiao didn't mind, she was used to training every day.
The four children persuaded Su Mingan to go back, and they set off.
At 6:30 in the morning, many office workers may still be sleeping late, and the snow on both sides of the road has not been damaged much.
Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan ran side by side, passing under a tree, Gu Jialing suddenly sprinted over, kicked the tree trunk, and ran away.
The snow on the branches fell rustlingly, even though Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan hid quickly, some snow got into her hair and neck, and Su Miaomiao shrank her neck from the ice.
Su Miaomiao stuffed the schoolbag to Xie Jingyuan, grabbed a handful of snow and went after Gu Jialing.
The morning exercise turned into a snowball fight, Gu Jialing took advantage of her long legs, threw several snowballs at Su Miaomiao and ran away, making Su Miaomiao very angry.
Xie Jingyuan looked at Xu Shou.
Xu Shou caught up with Gu Jialing and dunked a ball of snow into Gu Jialing's collar like a dunk.
What a good bird to bully a girl because of the physical difference between men and women!
Gu Jialing's face was full of disbelief: "You helped her no matter what!"
Xu Shou: "It's not helping her, it's just that you don't like her."
Gu Jialing: ...
Su Miaomiao took the opportunity to catch up and stuffed another ball of snow!
The three demons ran and made noise, the snow was covered with their messy footprints everywhere, enough of the trouble, the three demons stopped and waited for Xie Jingyuan.
Xie Jingyuan saw that there was still some snow on Su Miaomiao's head, so he helped her dial it casually.
Gu Jialing complained to him by pulling her collar: "Look, Taoist priest, my collar is wet!"
He had some signs of a cold this morning, and it is really not good to wear wet clothes, Xie Jingyuan paused, and put his palm on Gu Jialing's collar.
Gu Jialing felt a kind of comfort and heat from being roasted by fire in winter. When Xie Jingyuan withdrew his hand, he touched the collar again, and it was completely dry!
Gu Jialing was shocked, Xu Shou was stunned, and Su Miaomiao came over to check it with her own hands!
In the end, the three monsters all stared at Xie Jingyuan, Xu Shou only had pure admiration, while Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing had a kind of envy or even jealousy.
"Didn't the Taoist say that you can't accumulate spiritual energy?"
Su Miaomiao was the first to pouted, and Gu Jialing, who had been calling her just now, was also standing beside her, looking at Xie Jingyuan resentfully.
Xie Jingyuan: "It's only recently achieved initial results, but it's limited, and it's exhausted after casting a small fire spell."
It is true that casting spells takes far more aura than growing plants.
But Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing didn't believe it. One took Xie Jingyuan's left arm and the other took Xie Jingyuan's right arm, hoping that Xie Jingyuan would teach them the exercises.
Xie Jingyuan: "You can also pass it on, you should worship me as your teacher."
Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing: "I will worship you."
Xie Jingyuan: "As a disciple of Qingxu Temple, you should strictly abide by the precepts of Qingxu Temple. The most basic one is not to eat meat."
Su Miaomiao, Gu Jialing: ...
Xie Jingyuan: "Besides, I don't want to hide it from you. With my qualifications, I have been meditating for thirteen years before I can condense this little aura in my body."
Gu Jialing rolled her eyes, and suddenly spat on Su Miaomiao's down jacket.
Su Miaomiao, Xie Jingyuan, Xu Shou: …
Su Miaomiao jumped up and was about to beat him up. Gu Jialing wanted to run, but was held down by Xu Shou. Su Miaomiao started to scratch at Gu Jialing. If it wasn't for her nails not being as sharp as cat's claws, Gu Jialing's down jacket would have been scratched to pieces. up.
Gu Jialing shrank her head and dodged while shouting: "Listen to my explanation! I just want to see if the Taoist priest has really used up his aura!"
Su Miaomiao: "Then why don't you spit on yourself!"
Gu Jialing said sadly and angrily: "Will it work to spit on me? The Taoist priest is biased towards you, and spit on Xu Shou may not be able to detect it!"
Su Miaomiao: "You're still quibbling! The Taoist chief favors Xu Shou the most, you just can't beat him, and you bully me!"
Xu Shou: ...
The Taoist priest is indeed very kind to him, is there any partiality or something?
Xie Jingyuan just took out a wet tissue from his schoolbag, and lowered his head to help Su Miaomiao wipe the place where Gu Jialing spat on it. Fortunately, it was only the outside of the down jacket, so it wouldn't soak the inside.
Knowing that Su Miaomiao loves to be clean, Xie Jingyuan used three wet tissues in a row.
Su Miaomiao was still disgusted, and angrily took off her down jacket and threw it on Gu Jialing.
Xie Jingyuan hurriedly unbuttoned his down jacket and wrapped her inside.
When Xu Shou saw it, he immediately took off his clothes and wanted to wear them for the Taoist priest.
Su Miaomiao stood in front of Xie Jingyuan and said, "I don't want to wear yours." The Taoist priest smelled so good, she couldn't bear the smell of dog.
Xu Shou's face darkened: "Then what should I do, just let the Daoist freeze?"
Su Miaomiao thought for a while, and took off Gu Jialing's down jacket. Su Miaomiao also liked the grassy smell of the titmouse.
Gu Jialing was trembling in the ice and snow: "What about me?"
Su Miaomiao snorted, "I've given you the one."
Gu Jialing looked at the white down jacket in his hand, the white was okay, but Su Miaomiao was only so tall, he was already 1.8 meters tall!
Xu Shou said in a cold voice: "It's your own fault, if you don't wear it, you will be frozen."
Gu Jialing had no choice but to wear Su Miaomiao's down jacket in the end. It didn't matter if his body was tight, because the sleeves were short, his arms were exposed, and even pockets couldn't completely cover them up.
The four of them walked into No. 1 Middle School, and the students passing by were all staring at Gu Jialing, seeing the messy short hair on Gu Jialing's head like a chicken coop, and then looking at Gu Jialing's obviously ill-fitting down jacket, they couldn't help wondering if this student was I was still sleepy when I went out, and I wore the wrong clothes of my sister at home.
In Class Nine, Gu Jialing was ridiculed by the students collectively.
Gu Jialing lay prone on the table, never wanting to see anyone again!
There are five study days a week, and Friday is the students' favorite day, especially this Friday is Christmas Eve.
High school students don't care about the specific origin of Christmas Eve and its profound meaning. The meaning of Christmas Eve to them is just a little romance, and it is a festival that can take the opportunity to express love to others.
There are two types of love: friendship and admiration.
Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan went directly to the playground. Gu Jialing and Xu Shou walked into the classroom with their schoolbags in their hands. From a distance, they could see red apples on their desks.
Gu Jialing narrowed her eyes.
There are three apples on Su Miaomiao's table, and the Taoist priest has only one.
There are five on his desk, which seems to be a lot, but why is Xu Shou's desk almost covered with red apples, and even beautifully packaged toy bears?
Xu guards a big wolfhound, what will he do with the little bear!
Gu Jialing was very jealous, and he was so jealous that he deliberately bumped into Xu Shou's table when he came over.
The two red apples on the side shook and fell.
Xu Shou had quick eyesight and quick hands, and with a sweep of his slender and strong arms, he caught both apples.
Gu Jialing snorted, and without looking at her own apple, she casually took one from Xu Shou, tore off the pink note on it, and whispered: "Thank you for helping me fix my bicycle, happy Christmas Eve."
Gu Jialing remembered that Xu Shou did help a girl repair her bicycle once after class at night, but he had already forgotten what that girl looked like.
Look at the other red apples with notes, almost all of which are words of thanks.
Gu Jialing felt balanced, Xu Shou had done a good deed, and it was normal for the female students to give gifts to express their gratitude.
Xu Shou didn't need this kind of thanks.
The students who gave the gifts did not have names, so Xu Shou sniffed them one by one, and decided to return all the apples after class, including the teddy bear.
After the early self-study, Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan came back.
Su Miaomiao's red apples were all given by the female students in the class. Xie Jingyuan's only one was from Yu Le. The note specially wrote wishing him and Su Miaomiao peace and happiness, and drew a playful winking expression .
The one that Yu Le gave to Su Miaomiao also wrote similar words.
Su Miaomiao didn't quite understand.
Xie Jingyuan took down the two pieces of paper expressionlessly. These kids don't know what's going on in their heads.
The class is even more lively.
Feng Xiaoyu, Cheng Yue, and Zhou Yao all came to give Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan apples.
Xie Jingyuan took Su Miaomiao to the school supermarket and bought a lot of apples as a gift in return.
At noon they went to the cafeteria for dinner, and when they came back, there was another apple on Su Miaomiao's table.
The apple is from Lin Xi, and it simply wrote wishing her a happy Christmas Eve.
Su Miaomiao, who was taught by Xie Jingyuan to reciprocate courtesy, took out an apple she bought from her desk and went to the next door to look for Lin Xi in Class 10.
Gu Jialing looked at her back and asked strangely: "No, Daoist, the six of you were good friends before, why Cheng Yue and the others also gave you apples, and Lin Xi only gave Su Miaomiao?"
Xu Shou also pricked up his ears.
Xie Jingyuan didn't know how to explain to them.
Lin Xi is a quiet boy, every time the group of six gathers, Lin Xi is pulled over by Cheng Yue and the others, and Xie Jingyuan is to accompany Su Miaomiao.
He and Lin Xi rarely talked.
The girls are lively and enthusiastic and regard him as a good friend, and Lin Xi knows in his heart that they are just ordinary classmates.
class ten.
Lin Xi was giving a lecture to a classmate when suddenly a sweet and open voice came from the door: "Lin Xi!"
Lin Xi looked up and saw Su Miaomiao, she was wearing a new white down jacket, holding a red apple in her hand.
She smiled at him, her eyes were shining, clearer than the stream in the scenic spot.
There were whispers from some classmates around.
"She's so pretty."
"Isn't it Xie Jingyuan's girlfriend? How can I give Lin Xi an apple?"
"He has always been a good friend, don't think about it."
Lin Xi walked through the narrow aisle between the desks and came to the door.
Su Miaomiao: "Here, I picked this one myself. It's red, big and round."
Lin Xi smiled and nodded.
Su Miaomiao: "Then I'm leaving."
Lin Xi: "Yes."
He knew that she must seize the time to sleep.
Watching Su Miaomiao return to Class 9, Lin Xicai slightly clenched the apple in his hand.
The one he gave Su Miaomiao was also the most beautiful one he had chosen out of thousands in the mall.
During the day, apples are constantly being delivered, and the whole No. 1 Middle School is full of festive romantic atmosphere.
After school, Gu Jialing suddenly remembered something and asked Xie Jingyuan: "The Taoist priest didn't even give us an apple."
Xie Jingyuan: "I will send you off, and you will send me off again, why bother."
Gu Jialing: "The meaning is different, it's called a sense of ritual."
Xie Jingyuan shook his head, but after returning home, Xie Jingyuan went to the refrigerator to get three apples, and gave one to Gu Jialing and Xu Shou respectively.
Then, he took the last apple and went out.
The voice control light came on, Xie Jingyuan looked at the apple in his hand, and silently injected a trace of spiritual energy into it.
The traces left by the natural growth on the surface of the apple disappeared quietly, and the skin became rosy and shiny, exuding a perfectly ripe sweet fruit aroma.
Then, Xie Jingyuan sent a message to Su Miaomiao, asking her to come out and get an apple. If she knocked on the door, she might have to face Su Mingan and his wife.
A minute later, Su Miaomiao opened the door.
Xie Jingyuan handed over the apple: "Here, they have both."
Su Miaomiao: "Oh, then you wait, I'll get you one too."
Xie Jingyuan: "No need, go to bed early after eating."
After finishing speaking, Xie Jingyuan turned around and went back to 1002.
Su Miaomiao had already gnawed two apples during the day, and she really didn't want to eat any more, so she casually put the apple on the side of the entrance cabinet.
The next day is Saturday, Su Miaomiao can sleep in until 8 o'clock, then get up and go to the stadium with Xie Jingyuan for training.
Tang Shiwei was going to work today. When she saw this apple before leaving, she thought it was an ordinary apple her daughter brought back from school, so she put it in her bag and took it away.
In the hospital, Tang Shiwei slowly ate the apple while turning on the computer to check the medical records.
She herself didn't feel anything, and in the afternoon, several colleagues around her praised her for looking good.
Tang Shiwei looked in the mirror and found that her skin was indeed a little smoother, and even applying a mask didn't have such a good effect.
But no matter how much Tang Shiwei thought about it, she couldn't think of that apple.
