Chapter 687: Upstart
"It's a pity that Lao Na met him too late, he already has a teacher. Abbot Deming said.
"Tell him to withdraw from the teacher and worship you as a teacher. The old beggar rolled his eyes and said, "If he doesn't like to practice Buddhism, he can also worship me as a teacher, and I am also infinitely welcome, and it just so happens that I also lack an apprentice." ”
Xiao Tao was about to speak, but when he saw Abbot Deming glancing at him, he was slightly stunned, and immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, and listened to the two of them talk.
"Old beggar, I've known you for so many years, and I haven't heard that you want to take in apprentices, why did you suddenly get interested today?" Abbot Deming said with a smile.
"I can't look down on how many people want to be my apprentice, it's because I don't have the qualifications that make me look good. The old beggar glanced at Xiao Tao and said, "If this kid is willing to worship me as a teacher and join my disciple, I will give my help, and I can let him inherit my mantle in the future." ”
"Be a beggar with you?" Abbot Deming laughed.
"Old monk, what nonsense are you talking about? When a beggar can be as rich as me, I don't know how many people are vying to be it. The old beggar glanced at Abbot Deming and said dissatisfiedly.
"Although Lao Na also wants to accept a disciple with high potential, it is a pity that Lao Na and Master Xiao Shi do not have a master-apprentice relationship, Lao Na will go with the flow and will not force it. ”
Abbot Deming paused, then looked at the old beggar and said, "If you want to accept others as apprentices, you have to get their consent, and if you want them to withdraw from the original master, it is not so easy to do, and other people's masters may not agree." ”
"Old monk, who else in Linzhou has a higher strength than me? Even if you are an old monk, I am afraid that you are not good-looking enough in front of me. ”
The old beggar raised his head and said triumphantly, "It's not that I'm bragging, if I recognize the second in Linzhou, no one will dare to admit the first, even if this kid's master sees me, I'm afraid I will be respectful." As long as this kid is willing to join my disciples, I can come to his door and discuss with his master and ask his master to let him go. ”
"Do you know what sect Master Xiao belongs to?" asked Abbot Deming.
"How will I know, what sect he belongs to, what does it matter to me, can't I be even?" said the old beggar domineeringly.
"Lord Xiao Shi is the descendant of Tianxuanmen. Abbot Deming smiled slightly, looked at the old beggar and said.
"Tianxuanmen?" the old beggar's eyes widened in vain, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"Also, Lord Xiao Shi's master is called Shang Yuan Zhenren. Abbot Deming said again.
"Ouch, old monk, why didn't you say it earlier?" The old beggar stood up from the chair in shock, and then was embarrassed, and said remorsefully, "What I said before is not counted, you all fart me well, so I don't dare to compete with Shang Yuan's predecessors for apprenticeship." ”
The old beggar has been rolling on the rivers and lakes for decades, he is an old man in the rivers and lakes, and he knows the sects and factions on the rivers and lakes well, so he naturally knows what kind of sect Tianxuanmen is.
The younger generation on the rivers and lakes may not know Shang Yuan Zhenren, but the older generation does, Shang Yuan Zhenren is the descendant of Tianxuanmen, and one of the few masters of the Unity Realm in the world today, and he is a legendary master of the world.
The old beggar knew Tianxuanmen, so he naturally knew Shang Yuan Zhenren, and when he learned that Xiao Tao was Shang Yuan Zhenren's apprentice, he dared to persuade Xiao Tao to quit the sect? Tianxuanmen is the first secret method in the world, and the inheritance of the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter" is much stronger than the inheritance of other sects, and the inheritance of his old beggar is incomparable.
The reason why Tianxuanmen has become the first secret method in the world is precisely because of the inheritance of the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter", as long as the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter" is cultivated, then the cultivator is definitely a terrifying existence.
Legend has it that the Nine Heavens Xuannu is the founder of Feng Shui, and can also be called the first person in the secret method, and it is a "Golden Seal and Jade Letter" that has been passed on to the world. Later, the Nine Heavens Xuannu created the Tianxuanmen and inherited the complete "Golden Seal and Jade Letter".
However, since the creation of the Tianxuanmen, none of the disciples who have been passed on have been able to successfully cultivate all the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter", even if Shang Yuan Zhenren's strength is monstrous, he has not successfully cultivated all the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter".
From ancient times to the present, only the Nine Heavens Xuannu has successfully cultivated all the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter", which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and for thousands of years, there has never been a person who has successfully cultivated the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letter".
However, the "Golden Seal Jade Letter" outside the Tianxuanmen could not be preserved completely, and the "Golden Seal Jade Letter" circulating in the world was fragmented and incomplete for various reasons.
Jiang Ziya got a part of the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", and Xingzhou was 800 years old.
Zhang Liang obtained a fragment of the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", which was 600 years old in the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang got a part of the "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", and he divided the world into three parts.
From this, it can be seen from this that if all the complete "Golden Seal Jade Letters" were successfully cultivated, how terrifying would it be? The cultivation was definitely above Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Liang, and it might even be the sum of these three.
Xiao Tao is the descendant of Tianxuanmen, and he wants to inherit the complete "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", which is much stronger than the old beggar in that aspect, what qualifications does the old beggar have to ask Xiao Tao to worship him as a teacher?
"Abbot, I don't seem to have ever mentioned my master to you, how do you know that I am a descendant of Tianxuanmen, and you also know that my master is Shang Yuan Zhenren?" Xiao Tao asked suspiciously, but he also understood one thing, before the abbot of Deming glanced at him, it turned out that the abbot of Deming had already known his details, so he deliberately made the old beggar ugly.
"I can't tell you the reason for the time being, as long as the opportunity comes, Lao Na will naturally tell you. Abbot Deming said.
"Decades ago, I had a relationship with Shang Yuan's predecessors, and his skills were amazing. The old beggar sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Xiao Tao, is Shang Yuan's predecessor okay?"
"Master's spirit is still good, he has traveled all over the world, and I haven't seen him for half a year. Xiao Tao said.
"That's good. The old beggar nodded, his heart turned upside down, he counted that Shang Yuan Zhenren was more than a hundred years old, and now his spirit was still good, which meant that the skill was still there, and the master of the One Realm was really long-lived.
"Master Xiao Shi, I have heard about your deeds in Guangyun, congratulations on winning the Asian martial arts competition and winning glory for the country. Abbot Deming changed his words and mentioned Xiao Tao's matter in Guangyun.
Xiao Tao won the championship of the Asian Martial Arts Competition, and it has long spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and Abbot Deming has some eyes and ears outside, so he naturally knows about it.
"It was all thanks to the abbot's guidance that I was able to pass the competition, and when it comes to this, I would like to thank the abbot for his teaching. Xiao Tao said.
"Hey, how can the old monk's tricks be compared with your master, what can he teach you?" said the old beggar disapprovingly.
Indeed, in terms of cultivation, strength, means and knowledge, Shang Yuan Zhenren is much stronger than Abbot Deming, as long as Shang Yuan Zhenren teaches Xiao Tao the stunt, I am afraid it is no less than his heart to be taught by Abbot Deming.
It's just that many of Shang Yuan Zhenren's stunts require a very high level of cultivation to be used, and although Xiao Tao's current secret method cultivation has been greatly improved, he is still not qualified to cultivate Shang Yuan Zhenren's stunts.
However, Abbot Deming's heart is different, he pays attention to understanding, as long as the understanding is in place, the cultivation can be lower and can be practiced, and it will become stronger with the higher the cultivation.
"The threshold for my master's stunt is very high, and I can't practice for the time being. Xiao Tao said honestly.
"Old beggar, when you meet Master Xiao for the first time, you have to give a meeting gift, right? Why don't you teach Master Xiao a trick?" Abbot Deming said with a smile.
"Old monk, don't come to pit me, it's not the first time I've met Xiao Tao. The old beggar laughed, pierced Abbot Deming's words on the spot, and said, "Don't forget, the first time I met Xiao Tao was in front of the museum of Jiaotong University. ”
"Then you should give a gift, you can't disappoint the juniors, even if you are an iron rooster, you have to set aside a hair. Abbot Deming was still smiling, but he was talking about the old beggar.
Hearing this, the old beggar was white-eyed, and he suddenly felt that Abbot Deming's smile was very weird, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was smiling, and there seemed to be some conspiracy, as if he was going to push him into the deep pit.
"Old monk, I have known you for decades, but I really didn't expect you to be an unpredictable person. The old beggar thought about it, and then said to Xiao Tao, "Okay, last time you did a harm to the people, I didn't give you a meeting gift, I'll make it up for you today." ”
"Old-timer, the abbot is just joking with you, you don't have to take it seriously. Xiao Tao hurriedly said.
Abbot Deming's meaning is almost on the surface, that is, he wants the old beggar to cut his flesh and let his blood, and he wants the old beggar to give Xiao Tao a big gift. He understood Abbot Deming's kindness, because the old beggar was unwilling, and he didn't want to force the old beggar, and he didn't want to take other people's gifts casually.
"What's the matter, do you think my greeting gift is not qualified?" the old beggar rolled his eyes again, and his face sank.
"The old-timers misunderstood, the juniors are not qualified to ask for the gifts of the old-timers, I hope the old-timers take back their previous words. Xiao Tao said.
"The words that come out are like water spilled, you can't get them back, I said that if I want to give you a gift, you must give it, and you must also receive it, otherwise you will look down on me. ”
Hearing this, the old beggar was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he touched the huge gold chain hanging from his neck, and said a little proudly, "Do you think that if the old monk calls me an old beggar, I am really a beggar? Young man, let me tell you, I am a rich man, a rich man, and I can give even the most valuable gifts." ”
When Xiao Tao heard this, he had no choice but to smile, the old beggar can give it if he wants to, anyway, looking at the old beggar's outfit, everyone knows that the old beggar is a nouveau riche, how can the nouveau riche not give expensive gifts? No matter how expensive the gift is, he can get it.
