Chapter 19: One Meal Becomes Master and Apprentice

"You're saying I won't invite you to dinner, when did I steal your copper coins, you must have accidentally lost them. ”

Liang Chen's face was disdainful, he couldn't say that the copper coin in his mind belonged to this old Taoist priest, how could it be, although his head was open, but it was not in his head.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, eat first. Liang Chen ordered two bowls of ramen and ate them with the old Taoist priest.

"Didn't you hear that you were in a human wine vat a few days ago, why didn't you die, your life is too big?!" Liang Chen was confused, and heard that he was in a coma when he was sent to the hospital.

"Hehe, this is called a good person has a good reward!"

"It's just you, you're a good person, you actually grabbed a stall with me, and you're still an elder. Liang Chen said disdainfully.

"Stinky boy, who gave you such the audacity to actually say to me, tell you, you have invited me to dinner now, so, from today on, I am your master, and you are my apprentice. ”

Liang Chen was stunned for a moment, "What, I will become your apprentice? Who wants to be your apprentice, I don't want it." ”

"Stinky boy, do you want to rebel, you will be damned. ”

"Who to scare? Liang Chen was speechless and said, "Forget it, just let me eat an extra bowl of ramen, since you are full, I should also leave." ”

"You don't want your master anymore, you're not a big rebel, what is this. Suddenly, the old Taoist priest yelled, attracting everyone's strange eyes.

Liang Chen looked embarrassed, he didn't expect the old Taoist priest to use this method.

"What are you doing, I didn't bully you. Liang Chen immediately went up and reminded.

"You and I are your masters, you don't want a master anymore, are you still human? ”

Hearing this, Liang Chen sighed, okay, just think of it as his own old Taoist priest.

"Let's go, let's go, don't be embarrassed here. After Liang Chen finished speaking, he immediately pulled the Taoist priest and left.

"From today on, the master will teach you divination, and you will inherit the mantle of the master, understand?!" The old Taoist priest also felt that Liang Chen was quite fated with him, so he felt that he must be this material, otherwise he would not accept him as an apprentice.

"What, I don't want to be a Taoist priest, like you have to be like this for the rest of your life, forget it, you let me go, you choose someone else!?" Liang Chen said, he was about to leave, but after all, he didn't have the strength of a Taoist priest, so he pulled it back.

"Stinky boy, the master has taken a fancy to you, it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, and if someone else wants to help the world and people like me, I still don't agree. The old Taoist priest said, "I've been down the mountain for a few days, and it's time to go back, since you are now my apprentice, then go up the mountain with the master." ”

Mountain?

This old Taoist priest doesn't really want to be a Taoist like him, he is already poor enough, why should he continue to live this kind of life, no, he must not agree.

"I won't go up the mountain with you, but you will go by yourself. Liang Chen decisively refused.

"Look at you, I didn't let you say go up the mountain, I didn't let you come down, but I haven't been to the mountain for a long time, a Buddha hasn't been cleaned for a long time, I have to go up and clean it. ”

Liang Chen thought it was a good thing, as long as he didn't let himself live in the mountains.

"How long will that take?"

"It won't be long before you're done cleaning and you'll be able to go down. The old Taoist priest assured.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you, after all, it's a good thing. With that, Liang Chen went up the mountain with the old Taoist priest.

The mountain path is very narrow and full of stones, so it is a bit difficult to walk.

The first time I heard the old Taoist priest say a human word, he finally had a little conscience.

When I arrived at the mountain, it was getting dark, and I couldn't clean the Buddha in the hall at night, so I had to wait until dawn, so I had to live on the mountain tonight.

The old Taoist priest drank Liang Chen and slept on a bed, because there were few people here, and there were no other people in the hall, so the old Taoist priest had always lived here alone, and when he needed money, he would go down the mountain to divination.

"Apprentice, why don't you rest so late?" the old Taoist priest asked.

"It's okay, you go to sleep first, I can't sleep!" Liang Chen played with his mobile phone, thinking that Baozi would call him every day, but why didn't he call today, could it be that she was too busy and forgot to call herself?

Thinking of this, Liang Chen decided to call Baozi, and she began to slowly get used to it without calling.

Damn, why is there no signal, it can't be so unlucky, right?

Liang Chen instantly sat up and shook his phone, "How can there be no signal?"

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" the old Taoist priest asked impatiently.

Originally, the bed was not firm, and it made a squeaky sound when Liang Chen shook it like this.

"Why is there no signal on my phone?"

The old Taoist priest said helplessly, "You are stupid, we are on the mountain, of course there is no signal, don't make trouble, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

Liang Chen was still not at ease, but it was already night now, it was so dark, and he was not familiar with the road conditions, if he went down the mountain now, he would definitely encounter fierce beasts or something, it would be bad.

After thinking about it, Liang Chen could only wait for dawn to speak.

Liang Chen didn't sleep all night, and it was finally dawn, but he still had to help the old Taoist priest clean up, even if he had to go down the mountain, it would be afternoon.

Liang Chen just wanted to go down the mountain before the old Taoist priest woke up, but he was stopped by the old Taoist priest just after walking a few steps.

"Apprentice, what are you going to do? You have to call the master to clean up. The old Taoist priest seemed to know what Liang Chen wanted to do, so he jumped up from the bed with a grunt.

Don't look at your age, your body is great.

Liang Chen knew that the old Taoist priest would calculate, so he deliberately lied and said, "I'll go find something to eat for the master." ”

"No, the master is not hungry, I didn't expect you to be a good apprentice, I know that I am filial to the master, don't worry, if you are obedient, I will teach you all the hexagrams I have learned all my life. ”

Liang Chen said in his heart, forget it, you can keep it for yourself, I still have a copper coin in my head, it is enough.

"Then how can it work, how can the master clean up without eating, so I'd better go find something to eat!" Liang Chen said persistently.

"I said if you don't eat, you won't eat, let's go, clean up, I know you're waiting to go down the mountain, hehe, apprentice, you won't have a girlfriend, right?" asked the old Taoist priest with a smile.

"Why, don't talk nonsense. "Liang Chen used to have a girlfriend, but it doesn't matter if he broke up a long time ago, as for Baozi, he does like her a little, but now everything is hard to say.

Liang Chen was also helpless, he was very worried that something would happen to the buns, but at this time, the mobile phone had no signal.

"Alright, master, let's go clean up, I still have to go down the mountain." "Liang Chen didn't belong to the people on the mountain in the first place, so this is a place where people live, and if you want anything, it's not worth being nostalgic at all.

"Hehe, you finally called me a master, for the sake of you being so well-behaved, I will definitely teach you the master's skills when I turn around. ”

Liang Chen didn't speak, just nodded, "Hurry up, master, I have other things." ”

The old Taoist priest and Liang Chen went to the hall of the hall, and there was a Buddha statue several meters high in the hall, with a golden body, but there was more dust, probably because it had not been cleaned for a long time.

The master and apprentice immediately began to clean up, Liang Chen was responsible for cleaning the dust on the Buddha's body, holding a cloth in his hand and began to wipe it.

Because the Buddha was too high, Liang Chen couldn't climb up, and one accidentally fell off the Buddha, and it fell into the palm of the Buddha's hand, otherwise he would have to fall out of it.

Seeing Liang Chen fall down, the old Taoist priest didn't let him do anything again, in fact, he asked Liang Chen to come up together, just to let him accompany him, after all, it was too lonely to be alone in the mountains, and there was no one to be a companion.

About a few hours later, the old Taoist priest finally finished cleaning up, but Liang Chen slept beautifully in the palm of the Buddha's hand, as if he had a dream, but it didn't look like a dream, he always felt that the warm current in his body was surging, and he woke up feeling full of energy and special spirit.

"Stinky boy, wake up, the master has finished cleaning, let's go, aren't you going down the mountain. The old Taoist priest asked.

"What, you still want to follow me?" Liang Chen asked in a daze.

"What's the matter, can't you? You are my apprentice, I am your master, no matter where we go, we have to be together. The old Taoist priest said categorically.

Liang Chen immediately felt that the old Taoist priest was a burden, and it was also very eye-catching, and he actually followed him, this is to rely on himself?

"Master, you better stay on the mountain, I'll come back to see you then!"

"How can that work, I have to go down the mountain to make a fate, otherwise what will I eat?"

"I'll bring you something to eat then. ”

But the old Taoist priest still didn't listen, and he had to be with Liang Chen.

In the end, Liang Chen also had no choice but to take the old Taoist priest down the mountain.

Liang Chen paid attention to his mobile phone all the way, and planned to call Baozi as soon as there was a signal, but today it was the second day, and Baozi didn't make a single call, which was really worrying.

"Apprentice, what are you doing with your mobile phone, is there something urgent?" the old Taoist priest asked.

"Well, a friend of mine hasn't called me in two days, so I'm a little worried, don't something happen?!"

Crow's mouth, how can I think so, maybe the bun is too busy to bother to call himself.

"Hehe, if the master guessed correctly, it must be a girlfriend, right?!" The old Taoist priest looked at Liang Chen with a wicked smile, this stinky boy, he has counted the most women in his life, and his life is really good.

When the old Taoist priest saw Liang Chen for the first time, he calculated a hexagram for him, but he didn't count his fate, but he knew that he had a lot of encounters.
