Chapter 6 Call me uncle!
Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

The morning star sets, night goes and day comes, and the red sun rises in the east.

Early that morning, the roosters raised in the Taoist temple crowed to announce the dawn.

Chu Yuan gets up early and eats on time.

Meal time is the time when ordinary people eat breakfast.

It is also the Chen hour in the twelve hours.

Converted into modern time, it is about 7 am.

He got up, washed, put on his Taoist robe, and after having a vegetarian meal in the temple, he got up and walked towards the courtyard where his senior brother Yu Canghai lived.

Along the way, I saw many Taoists who had just woken up.

Some of these Taoists were cleaning, while others were doing morning exercises in various places in the temple.

"Taoists all get up early, so there is no such thing as sleeping in in Taoist temples."

As we walked along, Chu Yuan said in his heart.

Because they live in the mountains, the Taoist priests in the temple need to be responsible for their own food, clothing, housing and keeping the temple clean.

So Songfeng Temple is like most Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain.

There were also Taoists who took turns sweeping the floor and cooking, similar to what Chu Yuan did on duty at school before he traveled through time.

However, whether in the previous Baiyun Temple or in the current Songfeng Temple, although Chu Yuan is young, he has a very high seniority.

Naturally, it was not Chu Yuan's turn to take action on these matters.

"Good morning, Junior Master!"

"Good morning, Junior Uncle-Master!"

……

Chu Yuan walked along the way and met several groups of young Taoist priests who were sweeping dead leaves on the ground of the Taoist temple with brooms. After seeing Chu Yuan, they greeted him respectfully.

It is the beginning of autumn now, everything is dead and the leaves are yellow.

If the ground is not cleaned for a day, there will be a thick layer of dead leaves on it.

"Good morning to you too!"

Chu Yuan looked relaxed as he walked past them and responded to them one by one, as if he was strolling leisurely in a Taoist temple, with a sense of dignity.

In three months, he has completely integrated into the Qingcheng Sect.

The Taoists of Qingcheng Sect also got used to the presence of a young junior master in Songfeng Temple.

It was early summer when Chu Yuan joined the Qingcheng Sect, but now it is already autumn.

"In three months, I have grown a little taller."

After passing through a moon gate, Chu Yuan looked at the long shadows on the ground under the sunlight, and he muttered to himself.

From the reflection, you can see that he has grown a lot taller.

From the initial height of just over four feet, he grew to four feet two inches, a full five centimeters taller, which might be due to his martial arts training.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Yu Canghai lived.

As soon as he walked in, Chu Yuan saw the yard.

There was a young Taoist priest who was about two years older than Chu Yuan. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers, but no Taoist robe. He was slightly taller than Chu Yuan. He was standing under the eaves, in front of a copper basin filled with water, with his back to him.

Behind the young Taoist priest stood two neatly dressed young Taoist priests, about the same age and height as Chu Yuan, wearing dark blue cotton Taoist robes.

The two little Taoist priests were holding towels and willow salt in their hands, as if they were helping the little Taoist priest who had just woken up to wash up.

The young Taoist priest who was being served had a pretty good-looking appearance, vaguely similar to his senior brother Yu Canghai, and had a face full of arrogance.

"Humph!"

boom!
Seeing Chu Yuan walking in from outside, the other party's face darkened and he raised his head high, as if he didn't like Chu Yuan very much. He turned back to the room and closed the door.

Chu Yuan was not surprised, he was used to it.

This young Taoist priest was none other than Senior Brother Yu Canghai’s son Yu Renyan.

According to seniority, the other party should call him uncle-master.

"Uncle, little master!"

After Yu Renyan left, the two young Taoist priests bowed respectfully to Chu Yuan.

The two young Taoist priests who served Yu Renyan were just ordinary Taoist priests in Songfeng Temple. They were arranged to serve Yu Renyan's daily life. They were the third-generation disciples of Songfeng Temple and should call him uncle master according to their seniority.

Yu Renyan dared to be rude to Chu Yuan, but they didn’t dare.

"You guys go down first!"

Chu Yuan waved his hand.

The two young Taoist priests suddenly felt relieved, immediately put down what they were holding and ran away.

They had long been aware of the discord between Yu Renyan and his uncle-master, and had been trying to avoid them whenever possible.

After all, one is the son of the headmaster, and the other is a junior uncle with a very senior generation. They can't afford to offend either of them.

"Be good, Renyan, call me uncle."

After the two young Taoist priests left, after a while, Yu Renyan put on a black gauze Taoist robe and walked out of the room again. Chu Yuan seemed not to notice the other party's dislike for him, and shouted to Yu Renyan with a smile.

"Uncle Master!"

Yu Renyan had no choice but to shout out reluctantly.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Yu Renyan calling him, Chu Yuan felt very relieved and responded.

Chu Yuan had been in Songfeng Temple for three months. Everyone else was very kind to Chu Yuan, except for his nephew Yu Renyan, who seemed to dislike him.

Every time I meet myself, my eyes are not eyes and my nose is not a nose.

Sometimes he would even raise his head high, leaving Chu Yuan with his back, and then walk away.

However, Chu Yuan could also guess some of the reasons why Yu Renyan was hostile to his uncle.

Judging from the attitude of his senior brother Yu Canghai and other Taoists in the temple towards Yu Renyan, they can be said to be very fond of him on a daily basis.

However, since my arrival, a lot of this favor has been transferred to me.

No matter how smart and talented he appeared, he was still just a child of six or seven years old. In addition, he was of a very high generation, so the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, in addition to doting on him, also respected Chu Yuan very much on weekdays.

Even Yu Renyan's father, Yu Canghai, respected Chu Yuan very much.

Unlike Yu Renyan, if he did anything wrong, he would be given a "love education".

This naturally aroused Yu Renyan's jealousy.

Children's nature is so simple and straightforward.

When it comes to people they dislike, they don't consider the pros and cons like adults, nor do they flatter them like adults.

However, Chu Yuan did not take Yu Renyan, his junior nephew who was hostile to him, seriously.

After all, he is just a kid who is less than ten years old, and he doesn't have much scheming in his mind. Chu Yuan has plenty of ways to make the other party not be hostile to him.

However, what Chu Yuan liked most was that every time they met, he would use his seniority to pressure others and ask them to call him uncle-master. Seeing their reluctant look, he fully felt the joy of teasing children.

Although he himself is also a child younger than Yu Renyan.

"I remember that according to the plot of the TV series I watched, my nephew died at the hands of Lin Pingzhi because he was mistakenly believed to be molesting a commoner girl. This also became the excuse and fuse for the Qingcheng Sect to wipe out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, his nephew was not really a bad person.

Compared to Tian Boguang, the flower-stealing thief who became sworn brothers with Linghu Chong and destroyed countless women's innocence.

Yu Renyan was only teasing with words, and although he was guilty, his crime was not punishable by death.

He was just too unlucky to meet Lin Pingzhi, who wanted to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

"As the uncle, I have the obligation to teach my nephew."

"As long as I teach him more and influence him, this nephew can change his playboy habits and change his fate. He will be able to save his life."

Chu Yuan looked at Yu Renyan who was not far away and looked reluctant, and said earnestly in his heart:
"Nephew, you must thank me in the future, because my appearance saved your life!"

Chu Yuan swept these thoughts out of his mind, smiled and said to Yu Renyan who was not far away:
"Nephew, what did you call me just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you call me again?"

"Chu Yuan, you are younger than me. I call you Uncle Master to give you face. Don't go too far."

Seeing that Chu Yuan was getting more and more aggressive, Yu Renyan said angrily.

In fact, the reason why he disliked Chu Yuan was that, apart from the fact that Chu Yuan's appearance had shared the favor of his father Yu Canghai and several other senior brothers towards him, he was also jealous that other Taoists in the Qingcheng Sect respected Chu Yuan very much.

The main reason was that he felt that it was humiliating for him to call Chu Yuan "Uncle-Master" even though Chu Yuan was younger than him.

"My senior brother is your father. Even though he is younger than you, you still have to call me uncle."

Chu Yuan didn't care.

Yu Renyan didn't say anything, just stood there, glaring at Chu Yuan.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan came prepared today.

He stretched out his right hand to his Taoist robe and took out from his chest a bamboo dragonfly that he had made in his spare time using bamboo strips and bamboo poles.

He crossed his palms and squeezed them hard, and the bamboo dragonfly spun and flew into the sky.

After flying for a while and reaching a height of nearly two meters, it lost power and fell to the ground.

Chu Yuan walked slowly to the bamboo dragonfly that had fallen on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and gently pinched it again, and the bamboo dragonfly flew into the sky again.

Yu Renyan, who had just glared at Chu Yuan, was now attracted by the bamboo dragonfly. He put aside his anger and stared at the bamboo dragonfly that flew into the sky with a light pinch of Chu Yuan's hands. He looked at it eagerly for a moment.

He stood there hesitating for a moment, and after countless struggles in his heart, he walked to Chu Yuan with a conflicted look on his face.

"What is this toy called?"

Yu Renyan asked Chu Yuan curiously.

“This is a bamboo dragonfly.”

This time, Chu Yuan happened to catch the bamboo dragonfly falling from the sky. He said to Yu Renyan with a smile.

"Want to play?"

Chu Yuan looked at Yu Renyan with a smile.

"I want to play."

Yu Renyan stared at the bamboo dragonfly in Chu Yuan's hand, unable to take his eyes away, and nodded continuously.

There are also many young Taoist children in Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng Sect. Yu Renyan is the son of the sect leader, so he is the king of children in the eyes of those little Taoist children.

There is not much entertainment in the mountains. In addition to practicing martial arts, they also like to play with toys such as kites and slingshots.

But this toy in Chu Yuan's hand was the first time that Yu Renyan saw it.

Yu Renyan could already imagine that if he had this bamboo dragonfly, he would receive countless envious and jealous looks when he took it out in front of his group of friends.

"If you want to play, call me Uncle Master."

Chu Yuan waved the bamboo dragonfly in front of Yu Renyan twice.

"Uncle Master."

Yu Renyan shouted without hesitation.

"Is it unfair to call me uncle?"

"Don't feel wronged!"

"You're not forcing yourself, are you?"

"Don't force it."

Yu Renyan stared at the bamboo dragonfly in Chu Yuan's hand, like a greedy cat seeing a fish. He answered whatever Chu Yuan asked.

The anger just now had long been thrown out of the window.

"This bamboo dragonfly is yours."

Chu Yuan handed the bamboo dragonfly in his hand to Yu Renyan.

The child was simple-minded, and Yu Renyan was very happy to take it. However, when he saw Chu Yuan's smug face, he hesitated for a moment.

"I'll call you that this time. Wait until you get the bamboo dragonfly. If you call me that next time, I'll be a dog."

But after only a slight hesitation, Yu Renyan took the bamboo helicopter and ran to the side and started playing with it impatiently.
