Chapter 133: A hermit master? He doesn't exist
New Year’s Eve arrived like this.
Lu Xun still kept the good habits from his previous life and said "Happy New Year" to everyone he met.
It is hard to imagine that the Demon Sect, under the leadership of the stingy Shen Yan, actually has benefits during the New Year.
Every disciple was given new clothes.
Everyone was wearing a brand new black robe with a small red wooden sign hung on the belt. It didn't look as cool as usual but more festive.
Lu Xun was naturally also given new clothes. Although they did not add any attributes and were not considered magic weapons, the materials used were of excellent quality, making them equivalent to a fairly fashionable luxury item.
The robe that Third Senior Brother was assigned was of the same style as Lu Xun's, but it still had a bit of a rustic feel to it, and combined with his dark face and squinty eyes, it always looked weird.
And when Lu Xun was wearing it, he was truly "a man as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world"!
Even the timid little cicada stole a peek at him several times today.
As for the gentleman...he was not wearing a white shirt today, but a red one.
It is hard to imagine a scene where a thin, middle-aged man with ordinary but slightly ugly looks is raising his index finger, taking small steps, and wearing a bright red robe.
With such a flashy look, does he still look like a hermit?
A master should act like a master! How can you be so gay?
But no matter what, the New Year atmosphere of the entire Demon Sect has emerged.
Somehow, the Demon Sect was always so worldly, with a worldly atmosphere from top to bottom. Many disciples even flew to the city to buy firecrackers, which had been crackling all morning. Lu Xun could hear them even from across a mountain.
But he didn't think it was noisy. He was thinking about whether he should ask his disciples for a few skewers later.
Now that he could fly, Lu Xun went to the outer mountain to visit Ji Li.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to come to Waishan to visit her, although every time before they parted he would say that he would find time to come and see her.
A man's mouth is a lie.
Compared with the inner mountain, the outer mountain is actually more lively.
There are already a lot of outer disciples, and most of them are young, so they are very active today.
Although some disciples had gone down the mountain to visit their relatives, it was still very lively.
Every house is decorated with lights and colors, and one can feel that the disciples have put a lot of thought into them.
The elders did not accuse them of not doing their jobs properly and not putting all their energy into cultivation. On the contrary, the elders and deacons in the outer sect were more busy than them.
There are actually two outer sect deacons who are proficient in lion dancing, and they start dancing now!
As Lu Xun walked along, all the disciples who saw him bowed and greeted him. Lu Xun also had a gentle look on his face and gave them New Year greetings.
He even heard the female disciples who had walked away arguing, such as:
"Junior Uncle Master just said Happy New Year to me, hehe!"
"You're talking nonsense. You were clearly looking at me when you said that. Hehehe."
Lu Xun walked all the way to Ji Li's residence, only to see her sitting on a chair outside the door, stretching her neck and looking at passers-by, with three parts of expectation and seven parts of disappointment in her eyes.
But when Lu Xun appeared, there was only one color in his eyes!
"Master..." Seeing that there was no one else around, Ji Li changed her words and called out, "Lu Xun!"
"Ji Li, Happy New Year." Lu Xun said with a smile.
He looked at Ji Li and couldn't help wondering, "Is this girl going through a second growth spurt?"
If Mao Nanbei were here, he would probably faint from jealousy...
The black dress looked tight on her in some places.
Ji Li had obviously dressed up specially today. Although she didn't know whether Lu Xun would come to visit her today, she still tried her best to dress up.
What if...he comes?
She actually had a lot of things in mind to say to Lu Xun, but when he really came over, she didn't know what to say.
Lu Xun smiled at her gently, then took out a hot omelet from his arms and asked, " Have you eaten?"
Ji Li had actually already eaten, but she quickly took it and said, "No."
After receiving it, she didn't eat it right away. Instead, she asked Lu Xun: "Did you eat it yourself?"
Lu Xun had eaten it before, but he thought about it and felt that it would definitely taste better if they ate it together than if she ate it alone, so he said, "Give me some."
The two of them were eating cakes, which reminded him of the scene when they first met.
At that time, he had just traveled through time and had nothing to eat. Ji Li shared half of the dry food in her arms with him.
That was half a cake from the edge of the mountain.
So when Lu Xun was making omelettes today, he also made one for her.
After eating, Lu Xun took out a small red envelope from his arms.
Of course, there are no red envelopes that are popular in modern society in Tianchen Continent. The so-called red envelopes are nothing more than something casually wrapped with a thicker piece of red paper.
“Here, it’s for you.” Lu Xun smiled and said, “Open it tonight.”
"Yeah!" Ji Li nodded , put it in her arms, held it close to her body, and clamped it tightly.
Lu Xun had placed a small storage ring inside, and inside the storage ring were one thousand spirit stones.
As the uncle of the Demon Sect's junior master, he can receive 3,000 spirit stones every month.
1,000 Spiritual Stones were not too few. Ji Li's current cultivation level didn't require many Spiritual Stones, but it was just to make her happy during the New Year.
Lu Xun looked down at her and jokingly said, "No one in the outer sect should dare to bully you, right?"
Ji Li shook her head and said, "Of course no one dares to bully me. After all, I have a backer."
After she finished speaking, she even winked at Lu Xun.
"Well, Murong Yan is indeed a good mountain." Lu Xun nodded frequently, making Ji Li angry to death.
But no matter how angry she was, as she was obsessed with looks, she would calm down as long as she took one look at Lu Xun.
Who could be angry at this face, who could! ?
After staying with Ji Li for a while, Lu Xun left first. Today he was one of the chefs in the back mountain and he had to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, so he was quite busy.
Looking at Lu Xun's receding back, Ji Li touched the red envelope in her arms and felt satisfied. Even at night, she might not be willing to open it.
…
…
After returning to the back mountain, Lu Xun discovered that there was one more person there today. The mute old man from the foot of Zangshan Mountain had come.
Although he has always lived in the wooden house at the foot of Zang Mountain, don't forget that he is the master's old servant. Even the eldest brother Yan Li was raised by him.
"Uncle Gui." Lu Xun greeted him.
He smiled and nodded at Lu Xun, looking at Lu Xun as if he was looking at his own young master, but his movements were still very slow.
The mute old man usually wears an old robe, but maybe because he was going to see the master today, or maybe because today was New Year's Eve, he changed into new clothes.
Wearing new clothes, the old man looked more energetic.
The master called out from inside the house: "Xiao Gui, come in and help me grind the ink!"
Gui Bo hurriedly walked into the house with a smile on his face. His movements were still slower than those of ordinary people, but compared to his usual pace, he had already quickened his pace.
Lu Xun didn't know how many years this master and servant had been living together.
But it is obvious that Xiaogui, whom the gentleman mentioned, has become an old man with gray hair.
In the room, the mute old man was helping the gentleman grind ink. As he was too slow, the gentleman urged him several times.
In such a huge demon sect, from top to bottom, there really is not a single trace of otherworldly air.
But Lu Xun felt for no reason that this kind of demon sect and these practitioners felt...
——It’s a bit cute.
