The elders were born from the bottom of the sea of ​​emptiness, and they were revered by thousands of people when they were born.

She has been gifted with extraordinary talent since she was a child. When she was young, Emperor Li hired a master for her. After learning the basic skills for a few years, she became a teacher.

For thousands of years, those who they know, she will, and they don't, she will also, and even often practice spells by herself, delving into one set after another.

Over the years, Emperor Li has repeatedly proposed to let her take in an apprentice. Of course, the elder does not reject this matter. She occasionally thinks that she should take in an apprentice and let the apprentice practice the skills she cultivated to see what happens. Still thinking, it should be very interesting to bring an apprentice.

It's just a pity that she didn't like any of the ones introduced by Emperor Li, or those she met herself.

For thousands of years, the elder has heard many stories and read many books.

Since the matter of this apprentice was brought up, every time she heard interesting stories in the book or between the master and apprentice in the demon god and human world, she also felt very itchy.

Seeing those people calling out Master one after another, she found it interesting and wanted others to call her Master.

So Yin Yin's voice of master was so gentle and soft, she felt extremely comfortable in her heart.

The elder took a step closer, his eyebrows curved, and he said again: "Shout again."

He was respectful and said slowly: "Master."

The elder stretched out his hand to pat Yin Yin on the head.

Thinking that Shang Shu was still suffering in prison, the elder would not gossip with Yin Yin much. After the master confirmed the relationship between the two, she took Yin Yin to Biyang River.

There is a cliff beside the Biyang River, and on the cliff is a mountain. In the mountain, there are yellow crocodile grasses, but it is hidden deep and difficult to find.

The elder led Yin Yin across a small stream, and through a stone cave, and finally stood on a meadow.

Weeds are overgrown on the grass, and weeds can only be seen if they are carefully distinguished.

Yin Yin had looked up this herb when she came here, and seeing this scene now, she naturally recognized it immediately.

She was overjoyed, thanked the elder with her feet up, and stepped in carefully.

After picking two plants, Yin Yin came out. The elder glanced at the things in her hand and asked, "Do you know how to make medicine?"

Yin Yin nodded: "Take a few leaves and put them in the morning dew, soak them for an hour, take them out and expose them, expose them to the sun for half an hour at noon, and then soak them in water." Get ready, you can do it when you get back."

The elder shook his head and said, "No hurry, I'll take you to get some sheep peaches, you add the sheep peaches to the water and soak them together, the effect will be better."

Yin Yin was delighted to hear that, and nodded her thanks: "Thank you, Master."

Counting the time, the two of them didn't delay, after taking the yellow peaches, the elder brought Yin Yin back to Youdu.

Before parting, the elder saw that the flower on Yin Yin's head was a little crooked, so he stretched out his hand to caress it twice.

"Today you accompany your mother first, and tomorrow is also Chenshi, and I will come to find you again."

Hearing this, Yin Yin opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father only allows me to see my mother once a month, for half an hour each time. After I deliver the medicine, I guess it's not dark yet."

The elder smiled when he heard the words, and asked, "Yin Yin, do you want to practice today?"

Yin Yin shook her head upon hearing the words: "No."

The elder raised his eyebrows: "Does that mean you want to see me again?"

Yin Yin paused, his ears turned red, and he shook his head: "No."

She explained: "Today is long...Master said he wanted to visit Youdu, but I just want to take Master to the lively places."

"That's it." The elder smiled and leaned closer: "Isn't this just because you want to see me again?"

"I……"

Yin Yin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to respond.

The elder laughed, and reached out to touch Yin Yin's head: "Okay, go, I will be here in the next hour, if you are not here, I will leave, is that okay?"

Yin Yin nodded: "Okay."

The elder smiled at Yin Yin, turned and left.

This time, she didn't do anything, and went to Biyang River again.

The fishing rod from yesterday was still there, she had nothing to do, and she fished for a few more hours.

This fish was indeed difficult to catch, so one morning passed and another noon passed, and she didn't catch anything.

The mountain casually caught pheasants and roasted them. After filling her stomach, she went to Youdu, the place agreed with Yinyin.

In the autumn sky, before Youshi, the sun has gradually gone down.

As in the morning, Yin Yin arrived early again.

The elder walked up to her, raised her hand to show her friendship with Yin Yin, and looked up, the flower was still on her head.

The elder said happily, "How is Mother?"

Yin Yin nodded: "I was feeling better when I left, thank you Master."

The elder shook his head: "No problem."

The two are at the foot of a mountain in Youdu at the moment, which is close to Yin Yin's residence. After they chatted, Yin Yin took the elder to her cave.

Knowing that the elder would arrive, Yin Yin prepared some food when she came back from her mother, so she went into the cave, and the elder saw several plates of food on the stone table inside.

By the looks of it, she was hungry.

It was all made by Yin Yin himself, everything was available, the elder was not polite when he saw it, and he started to eat after sitting down.

After chewing a few things, the elder slowly squeezed out two words: "Delicious."

Yin Yin smiled and poured her a cup of tea: "Slow down."

The elder nodded, and put another piece of pastry into his mouth.

There was not much to prepare, and the elder gagged a few mouthfuls before he was almost done.

While chewing, Yin Yin poured another cup of tea, and the elder picked it up and took a sip.

"Sweet."

The elder looked at Yin Yin with crooked eyebrows: "What kind of tea is this? It's not the one I drank just now."

Yin Yin nodded: "I changed it, this is fruit tea, do you like sweet ones?"

The elder nodded: "I like it today."

She pointed to an empty plate on the table: "This one is sweet, and I like it too." She pointed to another empty plate: "This one is a bit sweet, and I like it too."

Yin Yin nodded upon hearing this, only looked at the elder and smiled.

After eating here, Yin Yin tidied up and prepared to take the elders to Youdu Mountain.

Since the bird emperor didn't care much about Yin Yin, she found a place to live by herself, this place is close to the dungeon where her mother was locked up, and it is much more convenient for her to see her mother every day, besides, there are few people disturbing her, she likes it very much.

Compared with the busiest and largest mountain in Youdu, the dungeon is located far away, so standing here and looking at it, there is no one to be found on the road.

The sky gradually darkened, and after leaving the cave, the elder wanted to take Yin Yin there.

Seeing this, Yin Yin hid to the side and said, "Master, let's walk over there, it's not far, and you just finished eating."

The elder nodded immediately when he heard that, and withdrew his hand: "Okay."

In this way, the two walked over together.

The road was very quiet. After walking a few steps, it became much darker.

Accompanied by the sound of insects, the elder walked a few steps, and suddenly a fire broke out, hitting the dry grass in front of him.

The grass suddenly burned, and after a while, the road was bright.

"Master." Looking at the fire not far away, Yin Yin asked, "Have you seen your portrait?"

The elder nodded: "I have seen it."

As soon as she heard it, she understood the meaning of Yin Yin's words, and asked again, "You are talking about the painting of the whole body in black, with a fierce spirit?"

Yin Yin hummed, and said, "There is a pair hanging in the Presbyterian Temple in Youdu."

"You want to ask, why did you draw me like that?" the elder asked.

"Yeah." Yin Yin said again: "I used to think that's what you look like."

So when she saw the word raccoon on the elder's forehead yesterday, she was stunned for a long while.

The elder broke off a dead tree and smiled: "It's a bit interesting to say."

"I heard that the person who painted this portrait met me by chance one day when I was hunting monsters. Maybe it was raining that day, my clothes were all dirty, and I was fierce. The person probably saw me at that time and drew it. It became like that. As the painting was passed on, it spread.” The elder broke another branch of dead wood, waved it casually with each hand.

"Later, we saw the painting." The elder Youyou said: "Emperor Li watched me grow up. When I was young, I was chubby and cute, but when I was young, I was young, and then I grew up. , the longer the better, he was a little worried, saying that I might not be able to convince the public with my face, so after the painting was spread, Emperor Li was very happy. He said that image, as an elder respected by everyone in the Yaozu, is excellent."

The elder nodded: "I think it makes sense, so let them go."

Yin Yin thought about this matter yesterday, but she didn't understand it, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

She smiled.

"But Master is nearly four thousand years old. After so many years, many people should have seen you? Your genealogy book on your forehead only has the word raccoon. Can they guess that you are an elder?"

The elder nodded: "There are not many who can guess it. Like you, the one who knows it at the first sight is the first one."

The elder had an earnest and smart expression on his face, and said again: "They have a fierce elder in their hearts. Naturally, when they see me, they won't think that I am an elder. A thousand-year-old demon, and besides, not everyone in the demon clan has practiced for thousands of years. I don’t see others often. I have seen more monsters in the demon clan for so many years. It’s more fun to remove the tiger clan from the monster clan. I have been to the human world a lot, so I am not afraid of being known."

When she said this, she suddenly said, "Yin Yin, have you ever been to the human world?"

Yin Yin shook her head: "No."

The elder said happily: "Then let's find a day to go to the human world to have fun, the human world is really fun."

Before Yin Yin replied, the elder asked himself, "When are you going?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the fire that started just now suddenly disappeared with the last light and went out.

Seeing this, the elder had an idea in his mind, made another fire and started to fight, and said: "How about this, Yin Yin, today I will teach you how to perform this fire technique. Someday you will learn it, and you will be good at it. Master Tian will take you to play in the human world."

Yin Yin heard and nodded: "Okay."

The elder always does what he thinks about when doing things, and he doesn't delay after speaking. Now he starts to talk, and carefully and meticulously explains the way to cultivate this technique one by one.

This technique is not difficult, but it ends after a few sentences. After Yin Yin listened carefully, she looked at the elder seriously, and saw her demonstrate it slowly, and finally hit the fire on the grass.

"Understood?" the elder asked.

Yin Yin nodded: "Understood."

After the words fell, she raised her hand just like the elder did that day.

The elder took a few steps back, held his breath, and stood at Yin Yin's step and waited quietly.

Yin Yin closed her eyes, with one hand behind her back and the other in mid-air, with her palm facing up, she stood motionless, if she looked carefully, she could see the turbid air around her rushing toward her body.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the fire just got on the ground, and it was all extinguished.

A quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement from Yin Yin's side.

The elder pursed his lips and waited quietly.

Finally, after another moment, Yin Yin frowned and opened her eyes, at the same time, a small flame suddenly ignited in her palm.

"It's done!"

The elder was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurried over, looked at the light blue fire in her palm, and said cheerfully, "I really saw the right person, Yin Yin, you are too smart."

Yin Yin withdrew her hand and exhaled.

She was covered in sweat.

She turned her head to meet the elder's eyes, tilted her head and smiled.

Elder: "You don't know, it is said in the book that this technique needs to be practiced for a month before it can show its brilliance. You are so talented, it only takes less than half an hour."

The elder was very excited.

Sure enough, accepting an apprentice would be much more fun than before, she suddenly understood why Emperor Li was so happy when he knew she would leave the teacher ten years ago.

It is indeed very worthwhile.

At this moment, she still has the idea of ​​entrusting Yin Yin with all she has learned in her life.

Yin Yin is so smart, she must also learn quickly like her.

The elder took another step forward, excitedly started a fire, and threw it into the sky, and the fire fell down in no time, and it happened to surround them in a circle.

The fire was full of light, with a touch of raccoon blue, which made the surroundings dazzling. The elder's brows and eyes were curved, and the light of the fire was reflected in his eyes, with a look of love on his face.

She took a step forward and held Yin Yin's hand: "I like you so much."

"But we don't live together." She thought for a while, and said sadly, "Is there any way to make you stay by my side every day?"
