[-]. The strange uncle

Xia Yi has only one master, but countless uncles.

Mount Taihua is not a sect that is too serious. This can be seen from the strange disciples it has cultivated.Among these strange disciples, the most famous ones of course include Merry Shaoyi Chenzi and Hongxiu Tianxiangyi Xiaoqing.Of course, these are things for later.

In this less serious sect, Qinghe's junior brother Xia Yi is naturally called Shishu, and Qinghe's junior sister is also called Shishu.Qinghe's seniors told him one after another not to call him uncle, because he was too old, so Xia Yi followed suit and called him uncle.The few friends who have made friends with Qinghe and have different personalities and temperaments are naturally unwilling to let him be called senior, because they also look old, so Xia Yi still calls them Shishu.

These are all within Xia Yize's understanding, and they are executed very well.Although he is only nine years old, he is a child of the royal family after all, he behaves very respectfully and frugally in dealing with others, and his crisp childish voice speaks of a teacher and uncle, which is very popular among the people in Taihua Mountain.

But besides that, he also has a strange uncle.

It is a big dog raised by Qinghe, with smooth and smooth fur, golden and fluffy, so it is called Rhubarb.It is said that this is not the true face of Rhubarb. Since the true face is too complex and frightening, he usually walks around pretending to be a big dog.It is also said that Uncle Da Huang did not call Da Huang Xiao Huang when he was a child, but when he grew up, he protested strongly against his obscure name and almost used force to resist, so Qinghe finally compromised and changed his name from Xiao Huang to Da Huang .

Although Rhubarb vaguely knew that he seemed to be being fooled, he was able to grind it out and change his name, even if he changed a word, it was still a change.He felt that if he won a small battle, he reluctantly agreed.

Although Xia Yi is a very well-bred child, he still has a hard time opening his mouth to call a big dog uncle.

Uncle Rhubarb is not as approachable as other uncles. He often stuffs him with something delicious and fun, or touches his head and pinches his face to express his love.Xia Yi felt that ever since he was accepted as an apprentice by his master, Rhubarb would often stare at him and growl threateningly, looking very unhappy,

It was as if Xia Yi had snatched food from him, the hostility was quite obvious.

Qinghe also said that the big dog is very protective of food, probably because he thinks that Xia Yi eats and lives with them, so he is not happy.Xia Yi was dubious, because when the master said this, Da Huang scratched the ground with his claws violently, stared fiercely at Qing He's throat and let out a threatening whine.

Qing He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, smiling gently: "Have you read today's sutra?"

Rhubarb roared unbearably, and ran out the door on all fours.

Xia Yi felt that he probably wanted to find a place where there was no one and shouted at the sky.

Although he couldn't open his mouth to call Rhubarb his uncle, Xia Yi still liked Rhubarb the dog very much.Tall, with shiny fur, full of majesty, even the ligers, tigers and beasts he saw in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto seemed not as powerful as rhubarb.Qinghe said that rhubarb was not an ordinary dog, but a monster with cultivation, but Xia Yi looked at it horizontally and vertically, and still felt that rhubarb was like a dog in every way.

Rhubarb, who was seen as a dog horizontally and vertically, was very angry. When no one was caught, he tore Xia Yize's Taoist robe hanging in the yard, and Qinghe happened to bump into him.Elder Juewei still looked calm and calm, he couldn't tell if he was angry or not, he picked up the rhubarb and stuffed it into the secret place of Taihua Mountain, and locked him in confinement for three days.

At a later time, Qinghe was meditating to get luck, when he heard Rhubarb's angry growl, and the long-pitched "awow" sound, which was the sound transmission technique of the blood contract spirit beast.The master and servant of the blood pact can communicate with each other, and Qinghe can understand that he is yelling "Qinghe old man, let me go out", but Xia Yi, who has gathered with him with five hearts and three spirits, also heard it, and quickly asked Dagou What's going on, Qinghe said with a smile that he was practicing his voice, and he wanted to learn to sing.

Xia Yi was very sorry: "It's a pity that Da Huang can't talk." A big dog with a lot of humanity, he can also sing.

Qing He shook his head: "He will. He was injured before, and lost most of his cultivation base and never recovered."

"Ah," Xia Yi was a little surprised, "The big dog is very fierce, will he lose in fights?"

"Aww!" Bah, you kid, get the hell out of here.I didn't lose the fight, I saved your master's life!

Xia Yi said with emotion: "The big dog's singing is too out of tune... How long will it take to practice, master?"

Qinghe smiled profoundly: "There is a way in the world, let nature make it."

"Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"! I'll kill you guys when I recover!"

Xia Yi, on the other hand, is more and more respectful of Rhubarb, who is "highly cultivated according to the legend" and "strong in body and mind", so he often thinks about how to improve his relationship with this grumpy uncle.

Since the big dog treats him coldly because of food protection, Xia Yi also reluctantly left a portion for Da Huang when all kinds of uncles stuffed him with delicious food.Mount Taihua is a place for cultivating Taoism. Even though the family style is open and there is a master who is good at eating and drinking, it can't change the environment of vegetarianism on the mountain, so the masters who occasionally go down the mountain often bring him some outside food. return.

Xia Yi grew up in the royal family, and has seen all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. He has a good eye, and the ones he picks out for Rhubarb are top-grade.However, this dog, who is not familiar with it no matter what, never buys it. Every time, it takes his eagerness to please the food and pokes its paws into the dirty snowdrift, and turns around to point its butt on purpose. A haughty attitude that cannot be moved by poverty and humbleness.

At times like this, Xia Yi felt very distressed.

Even though he has experienced and seen all kinds of delicious food, the third prince who has been eating vegetables, tofu and vegetarian rice for three days is still very greedy.

He quietly stepped on the tip of rhubarb's tail to vent his anger: "White-eyed wolf."

Rhubarb jumped up with frizzy fur: "Aww!" You idiot, Hugh compares the weak and helpless wolf with Grandpa!

Qinghe, who was nestled in the room warming up some wine, heard the movement, glanced out the window, slowly got up and walked out, bent down to pick up the meat rolled in the snow, patted the dirt on it, and put it in rhubarb's up to the nose.

Rhubarb turned his head in reluctance, Qing He pinched his chin and turned back, opened the gap between his teeth and stuffed the food in.Rhubarb shook his head frantically, chewing the meat vigorously, as if he was chewing on Qinghe's bones.

Qing He squeezed his paws, retracting the sharp teeth that had been protruded, and frowned with a smile: "It's so good."

"Woo!" Stinky Taoist priest, do you want to eat yet?

Xia Yi looked at the smiling master and shuddered inexplicably. He didn't know whether he should be happy that the big dog finally ate his own food, or feel sad that the big dog, who can't be moved by the rich and the poor, can't be majestic and can't be subdued .

God knows that Rhubarb just doesn't want to be thrown back into the secret realm for confinement.

Xia Yi carefully observed the daily meals of Rhubarb.He seems to only eat clean and fed food, no matter whether it is vegetables with little oil or water or rough plain pancakes, he will swallow them without hesitation.He didn't have a good voice when he ate, but Xia Yi was used to it, and he didn't seem to notice that Rhubarb had a good voice.

Rhubarb doesn't eat much every day. Compared with his huge body, it seems that he can't even meet the standard.Qinghe didn't specially prepare meals for him, most of them gave him a little more from his share.Xia Yi quietly asked the master: "Has the big dog cultivated to bigu?"

Qinghe shook his head and laughed: "No. He was born by devouring my spiritual power."

Rhubarb, who was lying lazily on the corner of the table, moved his ears disdainfully, probably slandering someone who cares about your spiritual power.

"Swallow...spiritual power?" Xia Yi widened his eyes.

"He is my blood contract spirit beast." Qing He lowered his hand and scratched Da Huang's ear, "After the blood contract is made, he only needs my spiritual power to survive, and it doesn't matter whether he eats or not."

"Ow!" Eating meat and drinking blood is very important, stinking Taoist priest.

Xia Yi has heard of this blood contract secret method, most of which are used to subdue beasts who have cultivated to become immortals or demons.He looked at Rhubarb again and again, and still asked: "Well, master, why did you sign a blood contract with a...?"

He cleverly avoided the word "dog" to prevent rhubarb from violently hurting people.

But Rhubarb understood what he meant, narrowed his eyes and bared his teeth at him.

Qinghe laughed: "He's not a dog, he's Cheng Huang. What you see is not his real face. It's a two-thousand-year-old monster named Cheng Huang, who looks like a fox and has horns on his back. .”

Rhubarb shook his tail slightly in satisfaction.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, ignored his desperation, and turned to admire his master: "Ah, the master is able to subdue such a monster, which shows that the skill is profound, and the disciple admires it!"

Qing He smiled without saying a word, Da Huang sneezed three times in succession, spewing saliva all over Xia Yi's body.
