06828-Alert

The light in the room was so poor that I tried to stand as far as the dim light from the window could, trying to make the boy see my face.

The boy seemed to see it, because his eyes met mine, but he was still tense and shrank further into the corner.

Me: "I'm sorry to scare you. My name is Pei Lin, and I'm a cultivator. I followed a certain energy here, and the falling point of that energy is your candle lamp."

The boy became even more nervous, with his hands behind his back, tightly holding onto the candle lamp.

Me: "I promise I won't steal your stuff. The renovation proposal just now is just a casual talk, and I won't force you to change it. I want to make a deal with you. I need to borrow your candle light to confirm some things. After confirmation Afterwards, the candle light will be returned to you, and the candle light will not be damaged during the borrowing process, and it will probably become more beautiful. In exchange, what do you want? As long as your asking price is right, this transaction can be established."

The boy finally spoke, with a trembling voice: "What if I don't agree to the deal? What if I don't lend you...the candle lights anyway?"

Me: "Don't be afraid, I won't force you. As long as you don't agree, this transaction will not be established, and the candle lamp will still be in your hands. But I think there is still room for negotiation between us?"

The boy's voice was louder: "No."

Me: "Is there nothing else you want besides candle light?"

Boy: "No need."

Me: "Do you know about fairies? Your candle light may have given birth to fairies."

The boy hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's it like?"

I projected Xiaojing's image in front of the boy.The boy was first startled by the sudden appearance, and then attracted by Xiaojing's appearance, the hand holding the candle lamp relaxed a lot.

I didn’t bother him, and kept playing the picture of Xiaojing eating barbecue—the ones I wrote down were two months old, and I also got some recorded videos of the previous two mission executors and Ke’s family, which should be enough to play Is it enough to let the boy relax a little bit?

In fact, Xiaojing’s actions of eating barbecue are very repetitive. After watching a few rounds, even though the types of barbecue ingredients being eaten in the video are constantly changing, Xiaojing’s eating that seems to be copied and pasted seems to be changed like a P.

But the boy watched very intently, and watched for almost three hours in a row without saying a word. When the sun began to set and the room was completely dark, he regained his senses a little.

Then panicked: "What time is it?"

Me: "27:53:[-] PM."

The boy hurried to the door—he was very familiar with the arrangement of the utility room, and even in the darkness that was invisible to ordinary people, he could accurately avoid all the messy items in the room, and walked from there almost silently. Get to the door quickly from the corner away from the door, and pick up all the bells without hesitation, then unlock, go out, and lock the door with your backhand.

The sound of moving the bell and unlocking and locking the door is surprisingly small, a well-trained... sense of control.

After locking the door, the boy turned around and faced me again, his hands trembling in fright, the bell that hadn't rang during the whole process from picking it up to locking the door suddenly rang.

Me: "My athletic ability is far superior to yours. As long as I don't want to, you can't lock me in the door. Do you need me to teach you how to train this level of athletic ability?"

The boy pursed his lips and ran away quickly away from me.

This is an orphanage, and the conditions are so-so. Anyway, it can find suitable new homes for most of the children, and those children who are not adopted can also live here to adulthood with enough food, clothing and warm education.

It may be because there are many children, so the management of this orphanage is relatively strict, especially emphasizing the concept of time.For example, it is dinner time at [-]:[-] pm every day. All children must arrive at the restaurant at [-]:[-] pm if they are not sick or other force majeure. Read it to everyone in the cafeteria at dinner time.

...I swear to the candle, I checked the rules of the orphanage because I saw the boy panicked after hearing the time, and I really didn't mean to make him late.The concept of time in the realm of comprehension has never been weak. The canteen of Yunxiazong is open 24 hours a day, and meals are available at any time.Monks who have food needs or hobbies will definitely bring Bigu Dan or other small snacks with them.And let alone the golden elixir stage, even in the foundation stage, I also got rid of the habit of eating three meals on time. The time of qi training and the time before entering qi training is too far away for me.

I'm really too rusty with 'timed group meals'.

06830-dishwashing

The boy's name is Yu Ting, ten years old.When he finished eating and was alone in the kitchen doing the dishes, I walked up to him.Yu Ting glanced at me, compared to the previous two shocks, this time he looked very calm.

I glanced at the candle light that Yu Ting put in a dusty bag in the corner, and added: "I'll wash the dishes for you, and you go to write a review? After all, it was my appearance that delayed your time and caused you to be late." .”

Yu Ting gave way to the seat in front of the faucet.

I shook my fingers to make the hot water turn, and quickly rushed over the stacked bowls, plates, chopsticks and other things to be cleaned, taking away all the dirt, and then the dirty water swayed in the air, the dirt gathered and separated from the water, Clumping together, falling into the trash, clean water falling back into the sink, and turning off the faucet by the way.

In order for Yu Ting to see clearly, the whole process lasted for 1 minute.

Yu Ting stared intently until I let all the tableware float to their proper positions, then he closed his slightly opened mouth and looked at me in amazement.

Me: "Want to learn?"

Yu Ting's expression instantly returned to rigid.

Pei Jianzhuo: "I don't want to express my desire, maybe because my previous experience told him that he would only get disappointed after expressing it."

Pei Kong: "Actually, if he expresses it this time, he will indeed be disappointed. The ten-year-old child in the public orphanage must have passed the spiritual root test. Since he continues to stay in the orphanage, it means that he has no spiritual root." If you can't cultivate your spiritual power, you won't be able to control water freely."

As a workaround, get a dishwasher.

Pei Kong: "Is that the same thing? Ordinary people can indeed use technology to do many things that monks can do, but is it the same to fly in an airplane and float around by yourself?"

Pei Kong: "When using spiritual power to control water, it's like grabbing water with your hands and shaping it at will, knowing every place where the water flows; while using a dishwasher, you can only see through the glass, even the water inside. Not sure if there's anything weird attached."

Pei Kong: "I don't have spiritual power, I often see spiritual power being used, so I can understand Yu Ting's feeling."

All the data you want to see can be displayed on the custom-made dishwasher, and Danxiu can't grasp all the reactions of spiritual power and raw materials when he uses the alchemy furnace to make alchemy.Most of the time, low-cultivation monks use spiritual power just to achieve the effect, and they don't know the process, which is the same as using tools.A monk who has not yet fully understood himself cannot fully understand spiritual power and everything that spiritual power touches.

You don't have spiritual power, so you think of spiritual power too perfectly.It's actually just a force.If you reach out and hold a handful of sand, can you understand every grain of sand through your hands?

Pei Kong: "Your metaphor is not the same as what I said."

In fact, it is the same thing by different routes.

06831 - no dissatisfaction

I said to Yu Ting: "Someone is coming, do you want me to stay and explain why these dishes can be cleaned so quickly, or I leave and you explain yourself?"

Yu Ting: "You say you are a fairy?"

Yes I am."

Yu Ting: "If you explain, will you explain that you helped me to change candle lamps for me?"

Me: "I won't go into that detail. As a monk who is known for being willful, I said that when I passed by, I saw you pleasing to the eye and offered to help. Few people would doubt it. Objectively speaking, a child as old as you washes so alone. Many bowls, adults who are a little bit kind and happen to be free will help."

Yu Ting: "Actually, it doesn't take long for me to finish washing alone. The teachers have already washed the big ones, such as pots and pans, and I can definitely finish the rest of the tableware in two hours at most. In addition to the time for writing the review, it just consumes all my playing time tonight, and I also set aside time for washing. I will definitely be able to finish all before the lights are turned off at ten o'clock. These are calculated, teachers Will not assign tasks that the punished cannot complete."

Me: "You don't seem to have any negative feelings towards the orphanage?"

Yu Ting: "Why should there be? Negative emotions are also for the parents who abandoned me. The orphanage raised me for free, gave me food, drink, clothing, education, and the opportunity to earn pocket money. The rules are clearly laid out. The punishment for doing something wrong is also fair and reasonable, why should I be dissatisfied?"

Me: "Because sometimes it seems more indifferent to follow the rules?"

Yu Ting: "For the teachers in the orphanage, this is just a job. They are beyond reproach if they do a good job within the scope of their duties. Although I heard that some teachers in the orphanage are very warm and caring for the children. All the little joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys make the orphanage run like a big warm family, but even if the biological parents are still dissatisfied with the children, it is luck to have feelings between people who are not related by blood, and no one is to blame. "

Yu Ting: "Besides, it's troublesome to have too many emotions. I can't stand a lot of people asking me about my health, and if I keep silent, I will be suspected of having a mental illness."

After a pause, Yu Ting glanced at the direction of the door, and then looked at me with vigilance again: "Didn't you say that someone is coming? Why hasn't it come yet?"

Me: "I can observe the real-time movement of everyone in all locations of the whole hospital. I told you that when they came here, they had just finished other things and were discussing to come here to see your progress. Now they are really walking nearby You should have heard their footsteps, right?"

Yu Ting tilted his head suspiciously and listened for two seconds, he must have really heard it, so his face became better.

After a while, several ladies opened the door and walked into the kitchen, and then showed surprise on their faces.

Me: "I'm a monk, and I helped the cub a little by the way."

The oldest lady took two deep breaths and said, "Immortal Pei Lin of Yunxia Sect?"

This lady's name is Ji Shan, and she is my long-term fan.

Me: "Yes. My background is transparent and I am not a suspicious person."

Yu Ting: "I told this fairy that I can finish washing the tableware by myself, and I also explained that this punishment is not a burden to me."
