Are they all teaming up against me to tease me?

The sudden unfamiliar voice startled Bai Ke and the others, but they didn't have time to pay attention to the content of the sentence.

Bai Ke turned his head suddenly and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw an energetic little old man with one hand behind his back and stroking his beard with the other. He had white hair on his head and walked slowly and squarely. He walked towards this side, his posture was definitely a model of pretentiousness.

And the person following him with a stinky face was Huo Junxiao dressed in black.

Bai Ke suddenly felt that the situation was so confusing that he could hardly understand it.

The giant beast was still licking Bai Ke's face persistently. Lin Jie, who had finally calmed down next to him, turned his head silently. He felt that the picture was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned to stare at the unidentified old man.

The old man walked up to the crowd and waved his sleeves. The giant beasts that were sitting in rows became like virtual images. With the wind brought by his sleeves, they dispersed completely without even a shadow. Only the one that was licking Bai Ke was still sitting there peacefully.

Bai Ke: "..." If we wanted to collect it, couldn't he collect it all at once? What did leaving one mean? !

Thanks to the strange nature of this giant beast, the tongue felt very real but did not leave a trace of saliva, otherwise Bai Ke would have exploded long ago.

As if he understood Bai Ke's resentment, the little old man said with a smile: "Those are all fake. They are just shadows projected from the real body. They are specially used to threaten and intimidate and bluff."

Bai Ke stretched out his hand to push away the huge tongue without expression and said: "Is this the real thing?"

The little old man looked at the giant beast and licked it hard twice to satisfy himself, and finally raised his hand and waved it to disappear: "This one is also a phantom."

Bai Ke: "..." Very good, on purpose.

"It's really behind." The little old man turned around and looked at a road in the dense forest.

Bai Ke and the others followed his line of sight and saw a giant beast turning out from the road. It was as big as an elephant, but it was completely black, with extremely long and shiny hair. At first glance, it seemed to be well-kept. The beast's face looked quite ferocious and terrifying when it was ferocious before, but now it relaxed and looked a bit honest, and its eyes were not open angrily, but it seemed quite spirited. The four legs were thick but very short, and the running posture was so silly that it was a bit funny. There was also a big fluffy fox-like tail trailing behind it, swinging from side to side as it ran.

Bai Ke: "..."

Lin Jie: "Will the style of painting change a bit?" Damn it, is this really the same as those things that almost killed people just now! It looks a lot different! Are you kidding me? !

And the giant beast seemed to feel something. Its four thick short legs were almost overwhelmed, and it ran straight towards this side. As it ran, it raised its head and roared, making the ground tremble. .

Lin Jie shrank his neck, believing this time that this one was the same as the group just now.

The old man waved to the giant beast, but the giant beast didn't seem to pay attention to him at all. Instead, it went straight past the old man and headed directly for Bai Ke.

"What's going on?" Bai Ke felt some ominous premonitions in his heart as he looked at the huge creature that braked suddenly and stopped in front of him with his paws down.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the stupid beast, which had finally stood firm, squatted down and rubbed Bai Ke's face with its long and thick hair. As a result, the face was so big that it almost Lifted open Bai Ke's clothes. Then, while Bai Ke was adjusting his clothes with a speechless expression, he happily stuck out his huge pink tongue.

This time it was a real tongue, with hot breath and a drop of glistening saliva when it came out.

"..." Bai Ke suddenly jumped up and moved to the other side of the tree trunk, as if he was avoiding a nuclear bomb.

Seeing that he was despised by Bai Ke, the giant beast lay on the ground with a slumped head, seeming quite aggrieved.

"He has always had such a bad character. Did you know that on the first day? Why are you pretending!" The old man rushed over and slapped the giant beast's claws twice as if he hated that iron could not be made of steel. (NT: expression implying frustration with the fact that something (or someone) cannot be improved or changed to a better version, despite efforts or desires to do so.)

Hearing this sentence, Bai Ke was a little stunned again.

He had heard the old man say "because it saw its master" before, and for a moment he subconsciously felt that the master the old man was referring to was him.

However, as soon as this idea popped up, he refuted it without hesitation - obviously, it was more appropriate for the master to refer to the old man himself.

As a result, the words now sounded a bit wrong -

who had such bad morals?

Bai Ke thought: Me?

If it really refers to myself, then I'm really a little dizzy.

Bai Ke felt that the things he had encountered one after another recently were a bit too bizarre, but the most bizarre thing among them was Huo Junxiao who knelt down and called "Master" when he saw him.

As a result, the cheap apprentice hadn't woken up yet, and he wanted to have multiple cheap pets? !

But which pet station have you ever seen where the door can break down and the floor can collapse if you sit on it? ! That cliff was sent by the enemy.

"Does it know me?" Bai Ke couldn't help but ask.

The old man stroked his beard and looked like a stupid kid: "Nonsense! You don't just know each other, you raised it from a little kitten to the size it is now."

Bai Ke: "..." Isn’t it true that you haven’t woken up yet?

What's going on here...

He was just stunned when he saw the old man saying to the giant beast: "Peanut, say hello to this stupid guy, I haven't seen him in many years." After he finished speaking, the giant beast stuck out its tongue again and he hurriedly added: "It's okay to play to death, just be normal!"

Such a big beast was actually called Peanut. Who named it? Wasn’t it a shame?

As a result, before Bai Ke finished complaining in his heart, he saw the giant beast looking at him eagerly, then retracted its tongue, stretched out a thick and huge sole, and carefully raised it, with the side with soft flesh pads facing Bai Ke. Bai Ke shook.

For some reason, Bai Ke subconsciously raised his fingers and lightly scratched the bottom of the thick and soft claws.

The giant beast didn't know if it was ticklish or something. After being scratched by Bai Ke, it suddenly retracted its claws, and all the hair on its body exploded. It swung its waist and ran around the tree in a majestic manner. He sat down again less than three meters away from Bai Ke.

It was simply... a snake disease.

Lin Jie watched every move of the giant beast and silently twitched the corners of his mouth.

In the simple conversation just now, Lin Jie felt that there was too much information and he could no longer digest it.

What does it mean that this giant beast was raised by Bai Ke? You are really kidding me!

But the little old man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person. If he could fight with Junxiao for so long, he must be above the heads and elders of Hengtian Clan. He was a powerful being. He and Junxiao, the two great gods were sitting here. Lin Jie didn't dare to ask or talk, he could only watch his eyes, nose, mouth and heart.

The giant beast finally calmed down. The old man patted its paws, then looked at Bai Ke, looking at it carefully from top to bottom.

At that moment, Bai Ke seemed to see a trace of sadness on his face, and it disappeared so quickly that Bai Ke even doubted whether he was dazzled. When he came to his senses, the old man looked like he was squinting and slouching again. He nodded at him in a somewhat unserious manner, and said with a smile: "Stupid disciple, we meet again."

Bai Ke: " ..."

He was just a little helpless. He was just a cheap apprentice. Just now, he got a cheap pet inexplicably. One of them wished he was four times as big as him. Even better now, a cheap master came directly.

Was this a group thing to tease him?

He looked at Junxiao with a dull face. The latter's face was even more paralyzed than him. He pointed at the old man standing in front of him and explained to everyone: "My master, Yu Shixuan." After explaining, he pulled the old man. He used the sound transmission method on his sleeve and said: "Master Xianyu! Don't mess around!"

The old man glanced sideways at him and snorted: "Finally you know how to call someone?"

Junxiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "When did I stop calling someone?"

The old man looked at the sky with his hands on his sleeves and curled his lips.

This kid would indeed call him "Master" every time he saw him, and he never failed to do so. But that was not what he meant...

Ever since Bai Lingchen lost his soul and reentered the reincarnation, the mallet had completely become a dead wood, and its dullness was even worse than that of Bai Lingchen back then. Bai Lingchen had lived for too many years, and he had experienced too many things. The naughty nature of his youth had been worn away. At the same time, his innate vitality had also been worn away.

Over the past thousand years, he has become more and more lifeless, staying in this secret cave all day long, and not communicating with others for too many years. Yu Xian sometimes even worries that one day he would not even know how to talk.

The title given to him has gradually evolved from the noisy "Salted Fish Master" to the well-behaved "Master", which was so boring that people couldn't help but feel sad sometimes.

However, Yu Xian always felt that this kid would come back to life one day, because Bai Lingchen's deadline was coming soon.

But today, when he met Bai Ke and heard Junxiao call him "Master Xianyu" again, Yu Xian knew that it was time...

His disciples and grandsons, who had been burdened with too many things for thousands of years, could finally I slowly unload their burdens and become alive again...

Small Theater: About Yu Shixuan

Bai Lingchen has lived for a thousand years, but he never thought that one day he would drag his family down the mountain to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Huo Junxiao has lived for seven years, and he never thought that one day, he would actually follow his always strict master, the famous iceberg head of the Yusheng Sect, and break the rules of the Sect and sneak down the mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After visiting his parents and brothers, he went to visit the night market in the city.

But the last thing he expected was that Master Xianyu, who was still a bad old man when he came down from the mountain, suddenly transformed into a handsome young man with black hair, a plain robe, and a jade crown while visiting the night market.

The first thing this shameless master did in the night market was to buy an all-white fan from a fan stall. Then he unceremoniously took someone's brush and wrote a few words in a flurry, After paying some money, he waved his new fan and pretended to be a playboy.

During this period, someone noticed that he had an extraordinary bearing and asked his name during the conversation. He saw that guy gently shaking the paper fan and say with a smile in his eyes: "I am Yu Shixuan."

Huo Junxiao suddenly turned into a quail: "..."

Even Wu Nan didn't like the master's change of skin. It was quite helpless to come out to buy something to make people laugh and relieve their boredom: "..."

Among the three radishes, the only one who bought Yu Xian's account was Junxiao's junior sister Shen Han, who hugged Yu Xian with drooling eyes and then didn't let it go.

Junxiao was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally couldn't help but secretly pulled Bai Lingchen and asked: "Master, did Master Xianyu eat uncooked rice today?"

Bai Lingchen replied to him seriously: "He has long passed the Bigu period (NT: Bigu (辟穀) literally means "abstaining from cereals.”, to help achieving balance within the body's energies). During the inedia period, you don’t need to eat."

Jun Xiao: "...Then why does he dress up like this as if he has eaten something dirty?"

Bai Lingchen: "This is his true appearance. His usual old look in weekdays is what he deliberately disguises. Yu Shixuan was also his name before he entered Taoism. Every time he goes down the mountain, he will use this name." "

“..." Junxiao suddenly felt that his three views were not very good, "I have only heard of pretending to be beautiful, how can anyone deliberately dress up to look ugly and old?”  Master, what are you trying to do...

Yu Xian, who was walking in front, glanced back at him and raised his eyebrows confidently: "It's convenient to rely on your old age to show off your knowledge!"
