Chapter 140: My Disciple Remains Quiet (1)
Chen Xiansong said: "The first time I met Lin Jingbian, he was only twelve years old, and his size reached my chest. ”
Lu Weizhen: "You were only nineteen years old at that time, right?"
A big child, a half-grown child.
"Hmm. Maybe it was because he remembered the past, Chen Xiansong's eyes showed a look of gentleness and pleasure, he said: "At that time, I felt that I was probably going to fight a bachelor in my life, and if I couldn't find a wife, I wanted to go to Jiangcheng Shimen to find a good seedling, and I would inherit the mantle in the future......"
Lu Weizhen was stunned for a moment, and thought: You were really nineteen years old at that time, not twenty-nine, thirty-nine?
Is his sense of marital urgency so strong since he was a child? No wonder last time he said that he wanted to get married as soon as he fell in love. This brain circuit is really rare......
Lu Weizhen didn't show anything on his face, and listened to him continue: "Our Chen family, although the people are thin, often produce the strongest demon hunters, so there are also many uncles and uncles who give me the children to see. At the beginning, Lin Jingbian was not inconspicuous at all, and he had no advantages. The others are all descendants, carefully cultivated since childhood, younger than him, and their qualifications and cultivation are better than him. He is an orphan who lives on the help of his master, and his cultivation is intermittent and unsuccessful. ”
"Then why did you choose him?"
Chen Xiansong replied: "At first, I didn't think about him. But one night he came to me, and I was so proud that I didn't want to see him. In the winter, he stood at the door for most of the night, stubborn. Then I called him in and asked him what he wanted to do.
He froze like a ghost, and shouted very loudly, "Master, I'm here to be your big disciple." I said, "Why are you?" I thought he would say how smart, hardworking, conscientious, and able to endure hardships are, after all, these are the qualities that a good monster hunter must have. As a result, he opened his mouth and proudly said that he could cook at the age of 8, and the cooking was very delicious......"
Lu Weizhen chuckled.
He also said that he can do laundry, clean the room, can do everything, is obedient, capable and reliable, as long as he has him, one apprentice is worth ten. Of course I didn't buy it, saying that I was looking for a disciple with outstanding qualifications, not a nanny. He was not ashamed at all, and said in a heartfelt manner that an excellent disciple should be able to beat monsters, go to the hall, and go down to the kitchen. ”
Lu Weizhen smiled again, and a miniature and childish Lin Jingbian seemed to appear in front of him, foaming at the mouth and triumphant.
Chen Xiansong also had a smile in his eyes and said: "I was so blocked by him that I couldn't speak, but I also found that I didn't hate him." So I tested his skills again, so-so, not too bad and not good. I also had a poisonous mouth at that time, saying, When I was twelve years old, I don't know how many times stronger than you. He was a little sad at the time, but he quickly cheered up and argued that it was because my master was my father, which was too good. He doesn't have a master, so he might have more potential than I do. ”
"He has a point, but what about later?"
"What's the reason! Master leads the door and cultivates in person! Jiangcheng Shimen did not treat him harshly, so many uncles and uncles are here, he only needs to learn more opportunities. He just didn't study hard before, and he just wanted to change it at that time! The more we talked, the farther and farther we went, you and I went back and forth for half a night, and by the time we both felt very tired, it was already dawn. ”
Lu Wei was really a little distracted, she remembered what she saw in the illusion, even nineteen-year-old Chen Xiansong, who was already very calm and introverted, like a teacher. She was a little hard to imagine that he could talk to a child for half a night.
Chen Xiansong seemed to be able to perceive what she was thinking, and said: "It's strange, isn't it? I also thought it strange later, I was alone at that time, and I didn't want to talk to anyone at all. Before picking an apprentice, I also thought about it, like my father, to be an absolutely ruthless and authoritative strict teacher. As a result, I ran into a Lin Jingbian. The first time we got along, he broke me. ”
Lu Weizhen smiled, reached out to hold his arm, and gently squeezed it soothingly. He freed up one hand and shook hers.
"That's why you chose him?" Lu Weizhen said, "because he is lively, because he is full of vitality." ”
Chen Xiansong was silent for a while. He didn't expect that Lu Weizhen would see something unknown in his heart. He didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he didn't look at her clear eyes.
Even Chen Xiansong back then, his understanding of this point was vague. After that conversation, as well as Lin Jingbian's several entanglements later, Chen Xiansong was a little annoyed by this child, but every time he thought of the apprentice candidate, the first person who popped up in his mind was him.
However, Chen Xiansong, who was 19 years old and wanted to be a master, was actually desperate in his heart, thinking to himself, could it be that I would mobilize the people to pick and choose such a thing for a long time? Not only was his qualifications ordinary, but he was also nagging, extremely thick-skinned, jumping up and down, and sometimes arguing with him did not respect the teacher at all! However, if the cooking skills were good, then I could barely look forward to it......
Thinking of this, Chen Xiansong smiled lightly and said, "The last thing that made me decide was what he said to me. ”
"What?"
"The night before I decided on my pick, he came to me again. ”
Chen Xiansong still remembers that night, he sat in his room. In fact, before this, several respected teachers and uncles had talked to him and recommended very good candidates. But he sat there, and he just didn't make a decision.
Then Lin Jingbian came again. When he opened the door, he felt like his heart was in its place. And the skinny boy jumped into the room again, brought him tea and water, and almost forcibly slapped him on the back, respectfully and verbosely, and the whole room became very lively.
Yes, it's the word Lu Weizhen said, lively.
"What happened later?" Lu Weizhen asked.
Chen Xiansong said: "He is still the same as the previous times, nagging and boasting a lot, but in fact, it is those over and over again, and my ears are almost calloused." But at that time, I also understood that this child, apart from these can be taken out and said: obedient, diligent, and filial, there is no other advantage. He has neither a family background, nor the support of his elders, nor his natural qualifications. He only has himself.
But at that time, I didn't want to admit that this was the apprentice I was going to devote all my life to cultivating. I don't even want to choose the best, but the one who needs me the most.
I told him to go back and wait for the notice. I want to calm myself down. He bowed to me, and when he got to the door, he turned his head and said a word.
He said, "Master, in this world, you are alone, and I am alone. Take me and be a companion. As soon as he walked out of the room, I told my uncles that the candidate had been selected. ”
