Fairy cage

After being taught the "Gold, Stone, Poison and Fire Breathing Method", Yu Lie studied it over and over again in the quiet room of the Cangshuge Pavilion. After roughly understanding the outline of the breathing method, and after some experiments, he left the Cangshuge Pavilion.

After that, he was busy in Qian County for a while, and then he walked back to Yu's home in Qian County, carrying the black bird.

Starling had been imprisoning himself in a piglet bag for dozens of days, sleeping and eating whenever he ate, and his body was almost fat enough to turn into a ball. Fortunately, now that it has left the wild and returned to a densely populated area, it has finally overcome its fear and dares to fly around without restraint.

Quack quack!

Myna was hovering above Yu Lie's head, shouting hoarsely.

One person and one bird just walked back to Yu's house. A member of the Yu family who was busy at work heard the bird's call. He only raised his head and glanced at it, and cursed:

"Where did that stinky crow come from? It's really bringing bad luck to people!"

With such "insult", the myna was mistaken for a crow because its bird's organ is small, so it immediately became angry and flew up to peck the man's head.

Just a slight cough from Yu Lie caused the starling to fly back in silence and land on his shoulder.

The yelling tribesman heard the voice, looked up carefully, and found that it was Yu Lie walking in front of them.

After confirming it for a few times, the other party's face suddenly became panicked. He immediately stood on the side of the road and hurriedly bowed and saluted, feeling at a loss what to do:

"I have met Taoist Priest Yu Lie!"

"Uncle, you're welcome."

Yu Lie returned the greeting to this tribesman gently, but the other man nodded and avoided him, then took small steps and left as if running away.

Yu Lie had some impression of this man. He was extremely enthusiastic towards him during the day, but now he has no enthusiasm, just awe.

Yu Lie looked at the figure leaving hastily, raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized something in his heart.

As expected, when he passed by other members of the Yu family, their attitudes became reserved and unfamiliar, with only a few remaining enthusiastic.

This news that Yu Lie refused to stay in the clan had spread through various channels during the day, and the entire Yu family knew about it.

As Yu Lie walked along, he discovered that the Yu family land was still lively and full of life in the morning. At this moment, dusk fell, and the scene of depression and decline was completely covered up, and it was about to emerge.

In just one night and one day, the huge Yu family scene changed again and again, which really surprised Yu Lie.

Fortunately, he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and calmly returned to the bamboo forest. After finding the house where Yu Tian lived, he opened the door and entered.

The area near the small house also became cold and deserted, completely different from the scene during the day.

But the main room was still bright, as bright as day, lit with the whale oil candle that the clan had sent yesterday, as big as a torch, colorless and odorless.

"Hey! Third brother is back!"

Before Yu Lie entered the main room, a strange but familiar voice sounded. It was a woman's voice, but it was not that of Yu Tian's family, but that of his daughter Yu Honglian - Yu Lie's second sister.

A beautiful figure leaned on the threshold, her lips were like cinnabar, her eyebrows were light, revealing half of her delicate face.

Yu Honglian wore a simple Taoist robe and changed out of her regular clothes. She seemed to be about to take a break, but the makeup on her face was not removed.

When Yu Lie saw this person, he paused for a moment, then immediately bowed his head and shouted, "I've seen the second sister."

Many years ago, when this girl was not married, the relationship between the two was much better than that of Yu Datian because Yu Lie was smart and lovable and the youngest brother in the family. However, after the other party got married, even though they were in the Huang family next door, They only went home once or twice a year, so their relationship became estranged and their people gradually changed.

Yu Lie had already expected that this person would go home to visit relatives. He estimated that it would be either tonight or the next few days.

When there was a noise, Yu Tian groped his way out of the door and shouted briskly: "Third brother is back."

Yu Datian did not go out, and there was no trace of him in the courtyard.

But to Yu Lie's surprise, when the two sat opposite each other, Yu Honglian revealed the reason. It was not that the Huang family had sent her over to mend their relationship in a hurry, but that it was a message sent by the head of the Yu family, asking this daughter of the Yu family to Come back alone to visit relatives.

After chatting for a while, Yu Lie knew that perhaps the head of the Yu family wanted to change his attention by playing the emotional card and let him continue to stay in the family.

The other party had probably already looked for Yu Tian and Yu Datian, but to no avail. In the end, they could only pin their hopes on Yu Honglian, who was already married, and used the dead horse as a live doctor.

In the hall, Yu Lie pondered, because after all, the female road was his second sister and the second mother's biological daughter. He was thinking about how to make the other party shut up without hurting the friendship.

But suddenly, Yu Honglian stood up and whispered a few words to Yu Tian, ​​and then asked Yu Tian to return to the bedroom.

She walked to the door of the hall, looked outside for a few times, closed the door gently, took out a few talismans from her sleeves, walked around, and posted them on the door and the door of Yutian's bedroom.

There was a buzz, a few strands of spiritual light surged, the hall suddenly became silent, and a trace of mist rose, forming a hidden place.

Such an action made Yu Lie raise his eyebrows slightly, not knowing why.

Before he could speak, the red-lipped young woman in front of him walked up to him and saluted politely.

Yu Honglian said: "Third brother, don't worry. Although I came here today to comply with the clan leader's request, I have no intention of being obedient and will not persuade third brother to stay."

The female Taoist opened her beautiful eyes and stared at Yu Lian's face. A dazed look appeared in her eyes for a moment, and she murmured:

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are already so old, and your status is no longer what it used to be."

She stretched out her hand, seemingly wanting to touch Yu Lie's cheek involuntarily, but halfway through, she came to her senses in alarm and stopped.

Yu Lie said gently: "Second sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, you and I were once a family."

Meeting Yu Lie's calm gaze, the female Taoist gritted her teeth, saluted in front of Yu Lie, and shouted:

"Third brother, you are now an eighth-level Taoist disciple. Second sister is not up to par, but you are still a high-ranking person. I heard that you will go to the city to practice in the future. Second sister hopes to follow you to see the world, and I can take care of you."

As she spoke, the female Taoist added: "My mother also allowed this."

Yu Lie's brows suddenly wrinkled and he said, "Sister Honglian, this matter is not that simple."

He immediately declined: "It sounds like I'm going to practice in the city, but in fact I'm just going to make a living. I have too much time to take care of myself."

Yu Lie then said gently: "Besides, Sister Honglian, you are already married and now belong to the Huang family. Your Taoist registration is also over there. You still have your husband's family over there, your brother-in-law and the others..."

Immediately there was an urgent voice:

"Brother, don't worry, my sister has no heirs yet. You are now an eighth-grade Taoist disciple, and I heard that you can get Taoist status in the state city. When the time comes, my sister can be a close relative."

Yu Honglian's body softened, she sat on the ground, and began to complain delicately, confiding her dissatisfaction in the Huang family, and explaining that the reason why she appeared in the main hall of the Yu family last time was actually to protect the Yu Tian family.

"It's easy for a high-ranking Taoist to cultivate, but it's not easy to be a Taoist in three years, and it's not easy for an eighth-level Taoist disciple.

My sister's situation in the Huang family is getting worse and worse. She has no qualifications. If you don't help her, she will most likely not be able to break through to the eighth level in this life. "

Weeping and complaining, this female Taoist can be said to be a pear blossom carrying rain.

It was also the first time that Yu Lie saw his "second sister" like this.

In his impression, this female Taoist was as her name suggests, with a fierce and passionate temperament, like fire, independent and aloof, and somewhat decisive, like a lotus.

When Yu Lie obtained Taoist qualifications, he chose to go to the countryside to fight for his life, while when the other party obtained Taoist qualifications, he chose to marry into the Huang family to obtain financial support. In terms of having ideas and plans, this woman is still ahead of Yu Lie.

However, the relationship between Yu Lie and this woman has long since faded. It is not as good as the brotherhood with Yu Datian. He can listen to the other party talking so much now just because of Yu Tian's face.

After a few words of persuasion, Yu Lie's patience waned, and he took a step back, his expression turned cold, and he was about to stand up and leave.

But at this moment, the female Taoist raised her face, her delicate chin held high, her eyes were crimson, and there were tears on her face, like the best red glaze, she was a beautiful porcelain.

She hurriedly knelt in front of Yu Lie, grabbed the corner of Yu Lie's clothes, choked back her sobs, and timidly said:

"Brother, don't be angry, it was my sister who was wrong!"

The female Taoist was kneeling, her robe was wide and open, and she was constantly rubbing and shaking it.

Yu Lie frowned as he looked down at the beautiful, pitiful, strange yet familiar female road in front of him.

What he didn't expect even more was that the female path raised her pretty face, and she started to smile charmingly, with a fiery smile.

She tried her best to show off her familiar beauty, hooked Yu Lie's fingers and moved them in circles, as if holding a child's hand, but not like:

"Brother, do you still remember the closeness you had when you were young?"

This sentence made Yu Lie frown even more and his eyes were complicated.

In other words, he is just the adopted son of the Yutian family, not a stepson. He and the female Taoist in front of him are also like brothers and practical brothers, they are just members of the clan.

Yu Honglian's beautiful eyes were looking at Yu Lie with great energy, and she repeated word for word: "Back then, my brother once said, 'If I become a Taoist disciple, only...'"

Another numb voice sounded: "Brother, treat my sisters as outsiders."

It's like scratching an itch.

Facing the scene in front of him, Yu Lie was speechless for a moment.

Silks of mist surged in the hall, isolating the inside and outside. Under the suppression of the talisman, the hall seemed quiet and quiet, with only the sound of breathing.

After a few breaths.

Only then did another voice sound in the main room, asking:

"Does my mother also allow this?"
