"If you don't ask, don't ask!"

Song Juan had no intention of asking for answers. After all, no one likes to be questioned.

Of course, Song Juan is still very curious about this issue.

But all roads lead to Rome.

My uncle can't get any information here. Aren't there still aunts?

In this world, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

"You are not allowed to ask your aunt and others, do you hear me?"

Song Juan was thinking of finding another breakthrough, but she heard her uncle's stern words.

"heard it!"

Song Juan rolled her eyes.

This old uncle seems to be really capable.

Look, the thought he just turned around on his side was blocked by him on the other side.

Of course, this could also be a coincidence.

"Uncle, do you need to be as formal as before to become a disciple?"

"From now on, do I have to call you master?"

"You can shout whatever you want, but becoming a disciple is indeed very formal. If it doesn't work in these two days, the days are wrong. Wait for three days, and it will be a good day, and it will be a good day to become a disciple!"

What Li Zhao said was serious.

Song Juan did not refute.

To be precise, I dare not refute.

As for the reason?

Naturally, it's because this old uncle behaves a little bit.

"Uncle, what should I do these two days?"

"Fast, bathe, meditate!"

"ah?!"

Song Juan stared at the boss, unable to believe what she heard.

"Uncle, are you sure this is what you need to do as a disciple?"

"certainly!"

Li Zhao glanced sideways at Song Juan, "Do you think it is a small matter for our lineage to become a disciple?"

"Knowing the secrets of heaven, understanding yin and yang, knowing good and bad luck, observing people's luck, and even changing fate against the will of heaven are all things that happen in a single thought."

"Therefore, those who enter our door should be in awe."

"oh!"

What can Song Juan say?

She has encountered magical things like time travel, so others may not believe these mysterious things, but she dare not not believe them.

During lunch, Song Juan met her seven aunts.

That’s right, seven!

Although they are no longer their uncle's wife in name, they still eat together on weekdays, no different from before.

And Song Juan always calls them aunt, regardless of size.

In name, there is not much farmland in Lijia'ao, so food is a problem.

But Song Juan discovered that what her uncle’s family ate was pure white noodles.

As for the dishes to go with the meal, there are fish, meat, and game.

This lunch is very sumptuous. It is understandable that it is eaten during the Chinese New Year, but the problem is that this is not the Chinese New Year.

Hospitality?

Come on, what kind of guest is Song Juan?

So there is only one truth, my uncle's family is not short of food.

Not only is there no shortage, on the contrary, it is very rich.

After finishing the meal, the aunts cleaned up all the dishes without Song Juan's help.

"Uncle, didn't you say that I should fast and take a bath?"

After the meal, Song Juan looked at her old uncle who was sitting there, making herself a pot of tea, and asked her question.

"Half a day has passed since today, of course we have to start tomorrow."

Li Zhao glanced at Song Juan, "Today, I'll let you eat something good. From tomorrow on, you can only watch us eat. Don't feel aggrieved by then!"

"Don't worry, aren't you just vegetarian?"

"hehe!"

Seeing her uncle smiling a little strangely, Song Juan felt a little uneasy for some reason. She had a vague feeling that what her uncle said about fasting and bathing might be different from what she understood.

However, she is not a delicate person, isn't she just going through some hardships?

Song Juan thought she was mentally prepared, but when she got up early the next morning and saw her breakfast, she felt bad.

Breakfast consists of wild vegetables and no rice.

"Girl, is it okay?"

Li Zhao looked at the confused Song Juan with a smile, and asked gently.

"no problem!"

Song Juan gritted her teeth and replied.

Isn’t it just eating wild vegetables?

How big a deal is it?

I think back in those days, the elders even ate bark and grass roots, but I could still eat wild vegetables. What was there that I couldn't overcome?

If you want to be a master, how can you not endure hardships?

But in fact, this fasting and bathing session was much more painful than Song Juan imagined.

After breakfast, it was time to take a shower.

The bathing place was not at home, let alone in warm water, but my uncle took me to a spring pool in the mountains.

At first glance, this place doesn't see sunlight all year round, and the water in the spring pool is freezing cold.

"Can you bear it?"

Facing her uncle's questioning, Song Juan felt that she might have been cheated.

Bathing in water with a temperature of only a few degrees is comparable to winter swimming!

The problem is, she has never experienced what winter swimming feels like.

"Can bear it!"

Song Juan gritted her teeth and fought!

"Okay, squat down and listen to my instructions. When I let you sink completely into the water, just sink in. Hold on until you can't hold it in any longer, and then come out again!"

"good!"

Song Juan took a deep breath and stepped into the spring pool.

The moment my feet entered the water, I felt cold, ice cold.

But she still had the courage to continue walking into the water.

The spring pool is not deep and is less than a person's height.

But the cold is really cold, biting to the bone.

When Song Juan reached the center of the spring pool, except for her head above the water, her body was not in the water. She was shivering from the cold.

"Now, sink into the water!"

Li Zhao raised his hand and pressed it.

Song Juan took a deep breath, bent her knees, and sank into the water.

The cold water soaked my head, like falling into an ice cellar.

Song Juan didn't know how long she could stay in the water, but she was trying hard to persevere.

Time passed so slowly that she had no way of judging how long she had been underwater.
