After leaving the antique store, Jiang Le couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of merit is not easy to earn!
Emotions are really troublesome.
Having completed the transaction, he didn¡¯t want to worry about the Lu family¡¯s affairs for the time being. Jiang Le thought about it, took out his cell phone, and dialed Xu You¡¯s mother¡¯s number.
Jiang Le felt that he should ask about Xu You. After all, she was rescued by herself. Now that things have changed, she still has to take some responsibility.
The call was quickly connected, and the voice of Xu¡¯s mother, Aunt Yuan, came.
"Xiao Le, you haven't called Auntie for a long time."
Aunt Yuan¡¯s tone was filled with joy, as if she felt that her relationship with Jiang Le had eased again after rescuing someone last time.
Jiang Le didn¡¯t explain, and asked directly: ¡°Aunt Yuan, is Xu You at home?¡±
Aunt Yuan said: "She went out."
"Going out?" Jiang Le was confused.
"Yes, I have to say thank you. Without you, our family would be in big trouble." Aunt Yuan continued her pleasantries.
Jiang Le said something perfunctory and asked: "Where did Xu You go? When will he come back?"
Aunt Yuan sighed: "I don't know about this either. When she came back, she said you saved her, and then she seemed to be a different person. She stayed in her room every day and didn't go out. When I asked her when she was going to school, she didn't give a reply. Answer, half a month ago, Youyou suddenly said that he wanted to go out to relax. His father and I were having trouble. I felt that I owed her all the time, so I didn¡¯t stop her. I didn¡¯t expect that I would go out for half a month, and he would only give me occasional visits. Make a phone call to say it¡¯s safe.¡±
Jiang Le said: "So that's it, then I'll be fine."
Aunt Yuan is worried. He asked in a low voice: "Xiao Le, tell Auntie, are there any sequelae? I always feel something is wrong."
Jiang Le smiled and said: "Auntie is overthinking. She is very good, and I think this should be her opportunity. Just leave her alone for the time being. When she comes back, let me know."
Aunt Yuan was overjoyed: "So I can get through your phone?"
Jiang Le was speechless and almost forgot to blacklist her.
After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Le hung up the phone. He was also confused about Xu You's situation.
?????????? What changes have taken place in this girl? He was able to absorb the female ghost's soul seed. Is this a good thing?
I can¡¯t figure it out. Jiang Le didn't think too much anymore. When the person came back, he would understand after asking.
When we returned to Chunyang Temple, we were just in time for lunch.
I heard there is something to eat. Jiang Le hurried to the kitchen with fiery eyes.
As for what he said before. I am definitely not a foodie, so I was completely forgotten by him.
The delicacies made from dishes nurtured by spiritual energy are simply unimaginable.
The meat that I grilled using elixirs tasted too monotonous. It was at best a barbecue with elixirs. There was no way to compare with the elixirs cooked with ingredients completely cultivated with spiritual energy.
And the skills Jiang Hua has honed over decades of cooking are absolutely unmatched by Chunyang Guan¡¯s family. Completely conquered by her, even the half-demon red carp in Carp Lake developed a good habit of waiting for food every day.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The demons who were full of wine and food left leisurely, and Jiang Le stayed behind to accompany his mother to clear the tableware.
Before practicing Taoism, Jiang Le did this every day. Unexpectedly, after practicing Taoism, he never did it again. Jiang Le felt a little ashamed.
"Mom, how do you feel about life in Chunyangguan? Are you still getting used to it?"
Jiang Le asked as usual as the mother and son were washing the dishes.
Jiang Hua grinned, and a gleam of happiness appeared on his face, which became younger and more delicate due to long-term consumption of spiritual vegetables and absorption of spiritual energy.
"If I'm not afraid of your jokes, your mother's wish is not to be a city dweller, but to be an ordinary woman with a few houses and acres of land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. If we eat home-grown crops and raise a few pigs and a flock of chickens and ducks, our life will be very comfortable.¡±
Jiang Le laughed dryly.
The little white fox and the half-demon red carp were raised by their mother as chickens and ducks.
However, what his mother said was obviously sincere. After thinking about it, Jiang Le realized something.
My mother is not from the city, but from the countryside over the Devil's Valley in Junshan. She grew up in a farm family, and her routine year after year has long been ingrained in her bones and is difficult to change.
Speaking of this, Jiang Le thought of his own life experience again, his father whom he had never even heard of.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Le said: "Mom, are we the only two in our family?"
gingerHua put away the dishes and chopsticks for a moment, then looked at Jiang Le and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Jiang Le pretended to smile casually: "I'm just asking. I went to the city today and saw a large family living happily. I felt something in my heart, whether my family is too small."
Jiang Hua's eyes flickered for a few times, and then said: "Our family has always had a small number of people, and now there are only two of us. If you feel that there are few people, you should find a girlfriend as soon as possible, get married after you graduate, and then have a baby. I'm not afraid of trouble if you pile up kids."
Jiang Le¡¯s mouth twitched, yes, it¡¯s better not to ask.
However, after Jiang Le left the kitchen, Jiang Hua's eyes became darker, as if he was caught in some long-lasting memories.
In the afternoon, by Carp Lake. Jiang Le sat cross-legged on the grass, facing the lake, with a calm expression.
In front of him, the little white fox was lying on the ground obediently, with a serious look on his face.
Further to the water's edge, a half-demon red carp was leaning on the shore, waving the two dragon whiskers at the corners of its mouth. The fiery red patterned fish scales on its body reflected the light in the sun, making it look particularly beautiful.
"Xiaobai, Dahong, since you are my disciples, you are my disciples of Chunyang Temple. Starting today, I will teach you the Dharma. I hope you will listen carefully, understand the Taoist secrets, and transform into demons as soon as possible."
Jiang Le said with a solemn expression.
The eyes of the little white fox and red carp suddenly shone with excitement. Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of Chunyang Temple for the past six months, their spiritual intelligence has developed very quickly, and they have long been able to understand most human speech.
Jiang Le smiled upon seeing this and began to explain the basic techniques.
After all, this is the third sermon.
With each sermon, he himself gained more understanding of the Tao Jue, especially the basic Tao Jue that all sentient beings can understand, but every life is different, and the methods he comprehended each have their own characteristics.
From these characteristics, Jiang Le can also gain a lot of insights, which is of great help to his understanding of Taoism.
A sermon lasted for an hour. Jiang Le explained in great detail, allowing both Xiaobai and Hongli to understand a simple cultivation method. They no longer had to rely on instinct to absorb spiritual energy and increase demonic energy.
So after listening to the sermon, the little white fox and the red carp unconsciously fell into practice, and the huge demonic energy accumulated in their bodies began to be refined.
Jiang Le didn't bother him, and just sat there, protecting the law, watching the changes in the evil energy of the two demons, as if he had some understanding in his eyes.
After a long time, the little white fox raised its head and roared to the sky.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The demonic energy on the body swirled in waves, and all was sucked into the body, and the body of the little white fox swelled twice.
"However, after the demonic energy was refined, only one-third of its original size remained, but it appeared more refined, making the little white fox's eyes sparkle.
After feeling the changes in the demonic energy and realizing that he could completely master it, the little white fox happily ran to Jiang Le and rubbed against his body to express intimacy.
Jiang Le touched the little white fox's head and said with a smile: "Okay, your demonic energy has been condensed for the first time, and it is not refined enough. You still need to continue to temper it. Go back and continue to practice."
The little white fox stuck out his tongue, nodded obediently, then glanced at the red carp who was still transforming the demonic energy, showed a cheering look, turned around, and ran quickly in the direction of Chunyang Hall.
After a while, the red carp, which was quietly refining the demonic energy, suddenly started to tremble in pain, and its tail flapped rapidly in the water.
And within its body, a mysterious and powerful aura emanated.
"Huh?"
Jiang Le stood up in surprise, and the next moment, a red light flashed, and Mao Xiaofang appeared beside him, looking at the red carp with burning eyes. (To be continued)
