Chapter 10: Apprenticeship

This person is the Taoist who saved himself in the Xishan woodland that day with Xiao Sheng and a mantra. The closer he got, Li Hongyi recognized him for sure, and when he went up, he knelt down to thank him for saving his life that day. But as if his legs were not his own, he couldn't kneel down at all. "Don't worry about these etiquette, last time I just passed by and wanted to get the rat demon Neidan, I didn't want her to run away, why are you here?" The Taoist asked, "I'll ......come with Brother Wang" Li Hongyi wanted to continue, but suddenly he couldn't make a sound, as if his throat was blocked.

Seeing this, the Taoist nodded slightly, knowing that he had found the right place, so he took a step forward and said to the house with both hands: "Senior Luo Fang, I don't know if I am lucky enough to meet my senior?"

The little boy in the house took a pair of scissors and walked out, "Master, it's inconvenient to see guests these days, please come back another day!" ”

The child replied again: "Master has not seen any guests in the past few days, please come back!"

The Taoist is also a generation of masters, this time I came to ask for something, and the masters have a characteristic that they have arrogance in their bones, and they want to see each other for the third time. As if the child had lost his patience, the scissors in his hand quickly cut out a paper figure from the yellow paper, and the paper figure flew towards the Taoist as if it had come to life, and the child said at the same time: "I'm offended, let me see how the Taoist cultivator is?"

As soon as the Taoist saw the paper man flying head-on, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled out his waist, put it on his mouth, and sometimes hurried and sometimes slow Xiao sound came out, sometimes there was a Xiao Qi Qi, the wind vibrated and vibrated the sound, where the wave went, the grass and trees were broken, sometimes cheered up, like a sharp blade flying out of the sound and shooting at the child, sometimes the resentment made people ashamed, the demons in their hearts rose into a frenzy Li Hongyi and Wang Wenming suddenly had the urge to rush to the child in a frenzy, and now the child in front of them was like a roast suckling pig, wanting to go up and eat it.

Seeing this, the child flew out of his sleeve and two charms were just pasted on the faces of Li Hongyi and Wang Wenming, and suddenly the two of us stood in place and lost our ability to move, and could only see the scene of fighting in front of us.

The children kept flying the paper-cutting figures, bombarding the Taoists, and the Taoists Xiao Sheng catered to the changing attacks, and the two fought inseparably. The land between the two was bare and lifeless. The child took out a brush from his sleeve and bit his finger, and dipped the tip of the pen in blood and pointed it at the eye of the paper horse, and the paper horse came to life, and the front hooves were raised, and the child jumped up and rode to the horse, and with a wave of his backhand, a spear appeared in his hand. Li Hongyi was already shocked by the scene in front of him, and his legs were weak.

The child rode a horse and held a spear towards the Taoist and galloped away, the Taoist saw this and hurriedly knotted the Dharma seal, "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, All, Array, Column, Front, Line" The scene in the Xishan woodland appeared again, and the armor of the divine soldiers behind him rushed to the children, and the children rushed to the armor of the divine soldiers, and the divine soldiers turned into gray smoke, and the spear pointed directly at the throat of the Taoist.

The Taoist transformed Xiao into a weapon to meet the spear, and the two of them changed their moves back and forth, and Li Hongyi, who watched it, was full of enthusiasm, just like the martial arts fighting in Peking Opera, and there was a feeling like applause and cheering.

At this moment, a crisp and loud voice came from the courtyard: "Stop!" I saw an old man who looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, strolling leisurely, walking out of the house with his waist straight and his hands behind his back, dressed plainly and no different from the people, but the aura exuded from his body gave people a sense of coercion. The old man went out and made a compilation with both hands, "Dao Chief, everyone in the village calls me Mr. Zhuge , I am just an ordinary countryman, how can I be appreciated by the Dao Chief?"

The Taoist and the child stopped competing, and the Taoist even made a compilation to the old man: "Poor Dao Luo Fang, see the seniors, I have something to ask for and I don't know if Mr. can help." "Then let's talk about the reasons for coming this time. It turned out that his division was now suppressed by another big force, and there were a lot of transactions for the purpose of money, and he also interfered in some political battles, wanting the old man to go out of the mountain to clean up the portal.

The old man shook his head and sighed: "I am also weak, do you think my body can stand those tosses on the rivers and lakes? I don't have that great ability, it is the shopkeeper of this color shop, presumably you have found the wrong person, please go back, forgive me not far away!"

The Taoist listened to the old man's voice and made a decision, sighed and shook his head, and had to make a compilation with both hands, "There will be a period later." With a wave of his hand, the place where he had fought just now was restored to its original state, and he left without looking back.

The old man touched his beard when he saw the departing figure of the Taoist, nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Wang Wenming and me with a smile behind him: "Wenming is bringing a friend to see the old man, come into the house, come into the house." ”

Wang Wenming laughed, and the master called us in, and we followed the old man into the courtyard. This is a simple and very ordinary quadrangle, several thatched houses are relatively combined, the small courtyard is not very large but it is cleaned up very neatly, looking at the west room with paper wagons, paper people, buildings......

We followed the old man to the hall, the house is facing the door wall hanging a landscape painting, on both sides of the painting is written "natural landscape good feng shui, born good clouds" The old man smiled kindly at Li Hongyi and Wang Wenming and said: "Come and sit, how about tasting this tea?"

The old man stretched out his hand to sit on the stool and said to me, "Is this Wenming not introduced?" Wang Wenming hurriedly introduced me to his master.

"Li Hongyi, good name, promote easy learning, Xiaoyou, I will call you Hongyi Ke okay from now on?" Li Hongyi nodded again and again, in the dream, the great power that grandpa said was very likely to be the old man in front of him. Originally, I thought that Wang Wenming's master had to be a fairy-winded and high-minded person, but I didn't expect it to be so approachable, and I suddenly felt a good impression of the old man in my heart.

"It's okay to be idle, Hongyi reported your eight characters, I'll show you a look, okay?" The old man looked at me kindly, and when he heard this Wang Wenming, he immediately tugged at my sleeve, and said to me excitedly, "The master showed you the eight characters, you kid is so lucky", Li Hongyi was flattered and hurriedly reported his birth date to the old man.

The old man pinched his fingers, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly opened his eyes, and did not say what Li Hongyi's fate was, but continued: "Let's get together this afternoon, I haven't seen you for a month, and this is the first time I have come here to see the old man, I am happy today, I will fry a few dishes and drink two cups with me" The two of us did not refuse. Li Hongyi muttered in his heart, isn't his fate good, don't you tell me?

Wang Wenming called his childlike brother to prepare a meal, and only me and the old man were left sitting in the house, "I have lived in this village for thirty or forty years, and the people in the village are good, I have accepted four apprentices in my life, and there should be five apprentices in my life, one apprentice each of the mountain, medicine, life, phase, and divination. Hearing this, Li Hongyi was stunned, isn't this a big opportunity? Hurriedly stood up from the stool, "I do," and kowtowed to the old man three times. The old man smiled and helped Li Hongyi up, there is no need to restrain these etiquette, I have been waiting for someone to appear, I feel fated when I see it today, and it also coincides with the day I calculated, plus your pure yang eight characters, the old man is also happy today. ”

Li Hongyi felt so happy today, he finally had a master from the aspect of easy learning, and that kind of happy mood had never been felt since he went to school.

When the food was ready, Master and I went to the dining room, although there was a table of vegetarian dishes, but the aroma was fragrant. The master sat down: "Come on, you two have another little junior brother today, Hongyi will be your junior brother in the future, today is a happy day, drink some to celebrate." "From the wine table, I learned that the master moved here from other places, just to live an ordinary life incognito, usually make a living from the color shop, occasionally show things to the people in the village, tell fortunes, and be happy. Everyone in the village called Mr. Zhuge to the master, and they also expressed their respect.

After drinking three rounds of the master, he said: "I also apprenticed to the teacher today, I have to teach you some skills for the teacher, you happen to be the eight-character pure yang, I have a five-thunder palm just for you, as a teacher, I will pass it on to you, but remember to only defend yourself, don't cause trouble, show off in front of people, don't spread it outside." "Thank you, master, the apprentice must obey the master's orders. ”
