"Uncle is so pitiful..."

The little girl in Cheng Fan's arms wrinkled her big eyes, as if she was feeling a little depressed because of the middle-aged Taoist priest's experience.

Then he slowly took out a candy from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Innocently said: "Here, uncle, have some candy, it's very sweet!"

"After eating, you will be very happy! Every time I finish eating candy, I will be very happy, hehehe."

I saw the little girl’s actions and listened to the little girl say these words.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the little girl would make such a move.

Then he laughed quickly and picked up the candy from the table: "Okay, okay, let me try it, hehehe..."

Then peel off the icing and eat the candy.

Under the expectant gaze of the little girl, the old man nodded with a smile and said: "It's delicious. I'm really happy after eating it. Thank you, little girl."

"Uncle, there is no need to tell my daughter about crabs and crabs. Master and sister Huanhuan bought the candies for her."

As the little guy said this, he deliberately burrowed into Cheng Fan's arms.

This naughty spirit made Cheng Fan so happy that he reached out and pinched her little face.

"It's great. With this girl accompanying fellow Taoists, I believe that fellow Taoists will not feel bored while practicing in this Taoist temple."

Hearing this, Cheng Fan smiled and nodded: "This baby girl is not as good as Taoist friends said, and it doesn't make me worry at all, haha..."

Even though he said that, he couldn't hide the doting flavor in his tone.

At this time, Xu Huan, who had cleaned the kitchen in the backyard, walked over from the backyard carrying two plates of spiritual fruits picked from the medicine field, and placed them on the table between Cheng Fan and the middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Yeah! It's loquat!"

When the little girl in Cheng Fan's arms saw the spiritual fruit brought over by Xu Huan, her little eyes lit up instantly. She stretched out her little hands and took one in each hand, and then quickly shrank into Cheng Fan's arms.

Then he handed the loquat to Cheng Fan: "Master, help me peel the fruit. I want to eat it."

When Cheng Fan saw this, he took the fruit with a smile and started to help his daughter peel it.

At the same time, he did not forget to greet the middle-aged Taoist priest opposite: "Fellow Taoist, you might as well try it."

"These are relatively low-level spiritual plants that I grew myself. They don't contain much spiritual energy, but fortunately they taste pretty good."

"good……"

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the interaction between Cheng Fan and the little girl, and his mood became very good, and the smile on his face became much more real.

"Then you're welcome, old man."

As he said that, he peeled one off and tasted it, his eyes immediately lit up: "Well, it tastes really good!"

"Taoist friends practice here. They have such a lovely baby, Taoist companions as companions, and these spiritual fruits and teas. Life is also very beautiful."

“Old Taoists are a little envious of my fellow Taoists’ life of practice.”

Hearing this, Xu Huan was stunned for a moment. After reacting, his face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes were a little wandering, and he did not dare to look at Cheng Fan.

Seems a little guilty.

Cheng Fan smiled and let it go: "Fellow Taoist, I misunderstood. She is my disciple in Guanzhong, but she is not my Taoist companion yet."

"Isn't it?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest was a little surprised, then he said with a smile: "Looking at the child and her in your arms, I thought they were your family of three."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Huan, who was not very good at words, blushed as if he was about to bleed.

He quickly whispered: "I...I went to the backyard to practice."

Then he turned around and ran to the back hall, leaving Cheng Fan and the little girl stunned for a moment.

On the grass in the backyard, Dahu was resting on his stomach when he suddenly saw Xu Huan running over from the front hall in a hurry.

Just when I was about to get up and say hello, I suddenly felt a breeze blowing around me.

When I looked again, I saw someone had entered the house.

Dahu: “???”

So fast? Is your butt on fire??

In the main hall of the front hall, the middle-aged Taoist priest and Cheng Fan finished drinking the pot of tea and eating two plates of spiritual fruits.

The middle-aged Taoist priest put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and bowed to Cheng Fan: "Okay, I've disturbed you a lot by coming to the Taoist temple. Taoist priest, I have had enough rest now, so it's time to leave."

"I haven't had anyone to talk to for so long. I've been nagging my fellow Taoist for so long. Please forgive me."

Cheng Fan also quickly returned the gift.

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly took out a fist-sized, transparent stone, which seemed to contain huge spiritual energy.

Then put this spiritual stone on the table.

Cheng Fan recognized what this thing was at a glance!

Spiritual stone!

It is recorded in his practice that it can be ground into powder and used to make elixirs.

It can also be used to set up formations to enhance the power of formations.

It can also be used for cultivation, which can eliminate spiritual energy impurities in the body and improve the purity of spiritual energy in the body.

It is very precious and can be called a treasure like panacea.

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said: "This spiritual stone was obtained by chance more than a hundred years ago. It looked good at the time, so I didn't throw it away."

"The old Taoist spirit is created by the faith of all sentient beings. This spiritual stone is useless to the old Taoist, so I keep it as a return gift to my fellow Taoists for entertaining the old Taoist this time."

Seeing this, Cheng Fan just wanted to refuse.

The middle-aged Taoist priest opposite said: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to refuse."

"This thing is of no use to the old Taoist, and it would be a waste to keep it on the old Taoist."

Hearing this, Cheng Fan smiled bitterly: "It's just that the gift this time, fellow Taoist, is too generous."

The middle-aged Taoist priest opposite burst into laughter, then waved his hand and said, "If you Taoist friends feel that you have taken advantage of the old Taoist."

"Then you might as well give the old Taoist some spiritual fruits."

"These spiritual fruits are very delicious. I can take some with me to eat on the road, hahaha..."

Looking at the smile of the middle-aged Taoist priest, Cheng Fan also smiled.

He bowed his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. The spiritual fruit will be brought to you right away."

…………

Time passed little by little, and Cheng Fan finally picked all the fruits from a loquat tree and presented them to the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Although it seems to be a large amount, compared with that spiritual stone, it is still far behind.

The middle-aged Taoist priest took the spiritual fruit, said goodbye to Cheng Fan, and left happily.

Cheng Fan and his little girl took him all the way to the entrance of the Taoist temple.

After the middle-aged Taoist priest was completely out of sight, Cheng Fan turned around and entered the Taoist temple with his little girl in his arms.

"Master..."

The little girl held Cheng Fan's head, her brows seemed a little puzzled: "Nanny feels that this uncle is so strange, just like Dahu..."

"That's natural, because the uncle Nannan talks about is the Nian beast."

"What is the Nian Beast?" The little girl looked at Cheng Fan with wide eyes, full of curiosity.

Cheng Fan smiled and scratched the little girl's nose: "The Nian beast is also called the Xi beast. It comes out to eat children at night during the Chinese New Year."

"So every New Year, everyone sets off firecrackers together to scare away the Nian beast, so that we can welcome the new year."

"Well..." The little girl was puzzled: "But she feels that this uncle is a good person, so why would he eat children?"

Hearing Nannan's words, Cheng Fan smiled and did not answer.

At the bottom of the mountain, the middle-aged Taoist priest seemed to have heard the conversation between Cheng Fan and Nannan, and turned to look in the direction of the Dishui View on the mountain.

He chuckled.
