At dinner time, the sky had already darkened.
On Bamboo Peak, the back of the mountain was a bamboo forest. Everyone's buildings were at the front of the mountain. The largest and most important building was the main hall, Hall of Observed Silence. Tian Bolis and his daughter lived in the back of the hall. Next to Hall of Observed Silence was the courtyard where the disciples lived. But because there were too few people, each of them had their own room. Even the newcomer Shaw Danon had his own room. In terms of living conditions, Big Bamboo Valley was better than the other branches in the same sect.
All that was left was the Taiji Cave, the kitchen, and the dining room. At this time, all the disciples gathered in the dining hall. Sixth Amandla, who was in charge of meals, brought the dishes to the table. Most of them were vegetables, few of them were meat. All the disciples sat on the right side of the long table. Xavion sat at the front. Shaw Danon sat at the end. At the head and opposite of the table, there was a large chair and two smaller chairs. It seemed like it was prepared for Tian Bolis and his family.
Shaw Danon looked at the empty seat next to him. That was the seat of the busy sixth Amandla. After a while, Amandla finally finished serving the dishes. He washed his hands and returned to his seat, waiting for his master with everyone else.
Amandla looked quite young. His face was thin and sharp. His eyes were large and triangular. He looked like a thief and very clever. After he sat down, he looked at Shaw Danon, smiled: "Xiao Shidi, what is your name?"
Shaw Danon honestly said: "Shaw Danon."
Amandla nodded, pointed to himself, said: "I am your sixth Shixiong Amandla."
Shaw Danon respectfully said: "Sixth Shixiong."
Amandla coughed, patted his shoulder, smiled: "Later, come and try Shixiong's cooking."
Shaw Danon saw the table full of delicious food. He could not help but swallow and nodded.
Du BiShu suddenly laughed, with an ambiguous meaning, pointed to the entrance of the hall, said, "Little Junior Brother, later teacher fu, teacher niang and little Junior Sister will come in from there, let's make a bet, okay?"
Shaw Danon was startled. The others all turned their heads and smiled. Fifth Ludaxin, who was sitting on top of Amandla, laughed: "Sixth, your gambling addiction is acting up again?"
He Dazhi, who had a thin and capable face, laughed and said, "It's been too long since he's won. Now he wants to lie to a kid?"
"Go, go, go!" Amandla waved his hand again and again, ignoring everyone, face full of smile, said to Shaw Danon: "Xiao Shidi, who do you think will be the first one to step into this door? Well, you've just entered the sect, so I'll let you guess first. Don't say that I'm bullying you. "
Second Brother Wu Dayi, who was sitting far away, called out loudly, "Xiao Shidi, even if it's a bet, you should first ask him what happens if he loses, and what happens if he wins?"
Du BiShu snorted and said, "Are you all afraid that I will go back on my words? I, Du BiShu, travel around the world, relying on my good gambling reputation in Jianghu (Everyone laughed: You have never won!). Xiao Shidi, if you guess correctly, I will help you chop bamboo for ten days. If you lose, you will help me wash dishes for ten days. How about it? "
Everyone laughed again. Xavion laughed and scolded: "Useless."
Shaw Danon saw his Shixiongs were smiling kindly, their attitude friendly, not treating him as an outsider. His heart felt warm, said: "Okay."
Amandla slapped his thigh, his whole body suddenly became energetic, said: "Xiao Shidi, then you say master, shi niang, and xiao shimei, who will come in first?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Shaw Danon. Shaw Danon thought, Jadeon pays great attention to master, Tian Bolis's master must be the first one to come in. He said loudly: "I guess master must be the first one to come in."
Everyone laughed, Ludaxin shook his head, said: "Didn't expect to be tricked by sixth today."
Amandla was overjoyed, looking at the confused Shaw Danon, said: "Xiao Shidi, let me tell you, actually, every time master's family comes in, xiao shimei is always the first one to come in. Haha, later you will come and help me wash the dishes. "
Shaw Danon touched his head, couldn't help but laugh, nodded: "Yes, sixth shixiong."
Zheng Dali, who was the third child and looked short and strong, laughed and said, "Sixth Brother, aren't you embarrassed?"
Amandla rolled his eyes, said: "What are you talking about, third, I didn't force you. Everyone is willing to lose, isn't that right, xiao shidi?"
Shaw Danon nodded, suddenly heard Xavion said: "Master is here."
Everyone's face changed, stood up, facing the door, greeting their master. After a moment, Tian Bolis's short and fat body appeared at the door, then behind him was …
There was nothing there.
He had actually come alone.
Everyone was stunned, Amandla couldn't help but ask: "Master, shi niang and xiao shimei?"
Tian Bolis glanced at him, said lightly: "Your shi niang took xiao shimei back to her home."
Everyone was surprised, but after a moment, someone couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Tian Bolis walking in, Shaw Danon's face was embarrassed, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Amandla was stunned.
Tian Bolis sat on his big chair, waved his hand, said: "Let's eat."
The disciples then sat down, each and every one of them looked at Du BiShu with a smile yet not a smile. Tian Bolis looked at Shaw Danon, said to Xavion: "Did you tell him the house rules and commandments?"
Xavion nodded: "Yes, twelve house rules and twenty commandments, I told xiao shidi. As for the basic cultivation, disciple saw xiao shidi is a bit tired today, so I plan to teach him tomorrow. "
Tian Bolis nodded, said to Shaw Danon: "Seventh."
Shaw Danon didn't understand, Amandla pushed him, then he realized his master was calling him, quickly stood up and said: "disciple is here."
Tian Bolis shook his head, his confidence in this slow disciple decreased a bit, said: "you first follow da shixiong, remember to study hard, the sea of cultivation is boundless, hard work is the boat, even if your talent is a bit poor, but as long as you persevere, you may not be unable to learn, understand?"
Shaw Danon respectfully said: "Yes."
Tian Bolis waved his hand: "Eat."
Shaw Danon was young and short, holding a large bowl and sitting on the chair, he could not reach the food that was slightly further away, but Amandla, who was next to him, was quite kind and helped him several times, whispered with a smile: "Xiao Shidi, eat more." Looking at his appearance, he did not care about losing the bet, his gambling character was really not bad.
Shaw Danon was grateful, nodded, ate for a while, then secretly asked: "Sixth shixiong."
Amandla turned his head, said: "What?"
Shaw Danon said: "shi niang still has a family?" In his little heart, Jadeon people are all gods, there is no need to worry about the mortal world.
Amandla smiled: "Of course, shi niang is also a human. But master said shi niang went back to her family, it is not really her family, but she went back to Bamboo Height Shui Yue shishu's place. "
Shaw Danon was surprised: "What?"
Amandla lowered his voice, said: "shi niang was from Bamboo Height when she was young, she was shixiong with the head of Bamboo Height, Shui Yue Master, their relationship was very good. Later, for some reason, shi niang, a flower like person, actually married master. I heard that at that time, many of the male shishu in Jadeon couldn't get over it... "
"Poof", a chopstick hit Amandla's forehead, the force was not light, his forehead turned red. Both of them were surprised, it was Tian Bolis with an angry face, the chopstick in his hand dropped. Amandla turned to Shaw Danon and stuck out his tongue. Both of them didn't dare to say anything, lowered their heads and ate.
At this time, Xavion asked Tian Bolis: "Master, this time Head Reverend called for the seven houses meeting, why only Shui Yue shishu did not come?"
Tian BuYi snorted, picked up another pair of chopsticks, said: "Isn't it that old nun who pretended to be sick, sent someone to tell Sect Head Shixiong that she had a headache and fever and couldn't come, Sect Head Shixiong is really something, actually believed it. Hmph, if she came today, even if I can't get a good one, I might not be able to afford it... "
The fourth disciple He Dazhi coughed, whispered: "Master, Shui Yue shishu's house never accepts male disciples."
