Chapter 2: Apprenticeship
The old man is getting older and older, but he is still the same old Rushan, the folding fan in his hand that has never been opened, sitting on the big bluestone at the edge of the cultivation ground, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are not as energetic as they were at the beginning, and they are already a little tired and cloudy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Looking at the youth coming up through the vegetation and trees on the mountain.
At this time, Ren Xiaoshen's dark skin and ordinary face, wearing a somewhat shabby coarse cloth coat, carrying a big black fish more than one meter long on his shoulders, galloped from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain vigorously.
After a while, Ren Xiaochen arrived at the top of the mountain and threw the black fish on the ground, and his breathing was not disordered at all. It's like it's supposed to be.
Ren Xiaochen looked helpless, "Grandpa, eat fish every day." I'm tired of eating. Now the black fish in the mountain stream have turned around and run away when they see me, and they are very thieves. After saying that, he put his foot on the mouth of the basin-sized black fish, and shook the tail of the fish back and forth a few times with one hand, and saw that the sharp teeth of the black fish fell out of his mouth.
Ren Xiaochen Mali took out a knife and withdrew the scales of the black fish and cleaned it up. After a while, the black fish was dismantled, cut into one by one, and dried on a bamboo pole to make dried fish.
The old man didn't say a word, just watched Ren Xiaochen work cleanly. Wait for Ren Xiaochen to finish his work. Only then did he beckon Ren Xiaochen to his dry hand. 'Come, sir.' ’
When Ren Xiaochen heard the old man's call, he immediately stepped forward to hold the old man's withered arm;
The old man waved his hand, "No, but remember the agreement between you and me." ’
Ren Xiaochen's face was full of guilt when he heard this, and he lowered his head, "Grandpa, I remember." The courtiers are incompetent and have not yet hatched the Golden-Clawed Thunder Eagle. ’
The old man's wrinkled face showed a gentle smile, "Minister, this is also difficult for you. Although your qualifications are average, your temperament is not bad. Strong-willed and able to endure hardships. He's a good boy. Grandpa is to see you grow up, and also to watch you support you step by step. I thought about it for a long time. I have decided to take you as an apprentice. ’
Ren Xiaochen was overjoyed and quickly knelt on the ground. The old man sitting on the bluestone is facing him. 'The minister visited the master' and hurriedly made a big gift to the master and apprentice. Tom's head struck him on the stone floor.
The old man was also very happy in his heart, he actually wanted to be satisfied with Ren Xiaochen. Gently hold with one hand. A strong force lifted Ren Xiaochen up. I planted a seed for you to be kind to the Tao and yearn for beauty, but I didn't expect that your seed would be so tenacious in birth and germination, and the cultivation journey would be difficult, difficult, difficult, and lonely. ’
Ren Xiaochen said, "No matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard it is, the disciple will keep going." ’
The old man watched, Ren Xiaochen was full of burning and resolute eyes, listening to his resounding answer. Nodding. 'Good. Now that I have taken you as an apprentice, you should know the name of your teacher. My name is Jiang Yucheng, a native of Jiang Guo. Idle clouds and wild cranes to scatter cultivation. However, it is best not to mention the name of the teacher in front of outsiders, and be careful that the enemy of the teacher will find you. ’
Ren Xiaochen hurriedly agreed
Jiang Yucheng saw that his apprentice promised and sighed, "As a teacher, he is only 47 years old this year, and now he has ended up with the remains of dead trees and rotten trees." It's all the trouble caused by the golden claw thunder eagle egg in your hand. It was obtained by the teacher in Kunyun Mountain, eight years ago as a teacher and a close friend, and two twin brothers who have known each other for many years. We are all casual cultivators, and the cultivation realms of several people are similar, no matter how high or low. Let's go to Kunyun Mountain to hunt monsters and collect some materials. in exchange for some spirit stones.
The Kunyun Mountains are vast and boundless, and the monsters are criss-crossed. The realm of a few teachers is not too high, and they dare to go too deep into the mountain range. They only dare to surround and kill monsters at the edge of the mountain range, everywhere and carefully.
Occasionally, one day, the monsters on the edge of the mountain range rioted everywhere. The four of us are not at a loss. I had to find a safe place to hide. It didn't take long for a roar to be heard in the sky. Vaguely saw that there was a Jindan Da Neng fighting in the sky with two golden-clawed thunder eagles in the high places in the distance. The trees and bushes in the forest were also destroyed by the aftermath of the spell.
After discussing it with the three of them, they decided to go and have a look together. It was also for the four of them to hide their figures and shield their breath. While paying attention to the fight in the sky, he dodged the aftermath of monsters and spells. Quietly touched it together.
At that time, the teacher was thinking, it would be good if he could find the nest of the golden-clawed thunder eagle. Soon after, the division and the other three separated. Go and find it alone. Sure enough, I found the nest, the nest of the Golden-clawed Thunder Eagle, on a mountain cliff.
There was no way for the teacher to sneak close, so he had to fight boldly, so he took out the flying magic weapon and put it on violently. As soon as the division appeared, it was discovered by the two sides fighting in the sky, and the two golden-clawed thunder eagles were even more furious. Which Jindan power was forced to retreat one after another.
On the cliff I saw three young eggs, so I hastily took two of them. Immediately turn around and leave. At this moment, a golden-clawed thunder eagle fighting in the sky abandoned its opponent and swooped down for the division. As a teacher, there is no way to dodge, and he can only keep throwing magic weapons and exploding them to stop them for a while. At this time, several colleagues who rushed to shoot together. to have a chance to enter the forest. Escaped.
For the division, a few people immediately flew all the way out of Kunyun Mountain. Another day and a night, as a teacher, a few people, and there is not much mana left. Seeing that there was no Jindan power behind him, a few of us dared to land the magic weapon one after another and stop for a while.
After a little rest. Thinking about it for the teacher, the value of the young eggs of the Golden Claw Thunder Eagle is so great that it is so precious, and a spirit stone that throws out a huge amount of sky-high price. So I thought about it for the teacher, and left the largest one, which was the one for you, the egg of the golden-clawed thunder eagle with slightly different black spots. He took out the young eggs of another golden-clawed thunder eagle with no black spots, and made a proposal to sell them, and then divided the spirit stones sold equally. At first, there were no objections and agreed to this suggestion.
But after a while, the two twin brothers took advantage of the fact that I was not paying attention while I was talking to my best friend, and their guards were relaxed. Suddenly, they all attacked together, and killed my best friend with a single blow.
I was shocked. Seeing my best friend die on the spot, I also know that these two people will not let me go. When he casually put away the corpse of his best friend. thought that he was caught between the two of them, and it was difficult to escape.
For the teacher, he immediately took out the golden claw thunder eagle egg that he wanted to auction and shot it into the distance. wanted to distract the two, and galloped away in the opposite direction without looking back. In this way, the teacher was still one of the flying knives of the two brothers. Piercing the abdomen. Almost died tragically on the spot.
For the teacher ninja severe pain too late to see and treat. Unleash the flying magic weapon and flee. The two chased after each other for a while, but they couldn't catch up. I am also afraid that I will meet his Taoist friends halfway. Once he learned that his two brothers had rare things, it was immediately an indispensable trouble. So he didn't chase it down again.
In fact, at that time, being a teacher was also the end of a strong crossbow. Soon after the flight, the division fainted, only to know that there was a big river in front of him. I couldn't open my eyes again.
When I woke up, I realized that I was almost eaten as meat by the black fish in the river. Or do you go into the water with the little doll and drag the teacher ashore? After Jiang Yucheng finished narrating his experience, he turned his face slightly, and his cloudy eyes looked into the distance, his eyes were full of unwillingness. ’
After hearing this, Ren Xiaochen's eyes were also round, and his face was full of anger. "The two brothers are too shameless, sooner or later one day I will avenge the old man for your master."
Jiang Yucheng heard the apprentice's words, but turned his face back and drank sternly, "You said they were shameless, hum." You have this idea. That would be a big mistake. On the road of cultivation, the weak eat the strong. The human heart is sinister. Be careful everywhere. If I were one of the two brothers, I would do the same. And it's done more neatly' There was a ruthless anger between the words.
Frightened, Ren Xiaochen took a few steps back, as if he had seen some terrible demon. It was the first time Ren Xiaochen had seen this old man with white hair like rotten wood. The real side of the master.
Jiang Yucheng saw that Ren Xiaochen was a little timid, so he eased up again. 'Do not have the heart of harming others. The heart of defense is indispensable. You must remember to teach as a teacher, so as not to suffer a great loss in the future, that is, there will be no return. ’
'The apprentice remembers the master's teachings and keeps them in mind. Ren Xiaochen also responded seriously
'What kind of revenge is there, for you it is a great revenge for the murderer. That knife. The cultivation of Danji, who was destroyed as a teacher, slipped directly through the foundation casting period to the condensation period. What's even more hateful is that it has also cut off the foundation of being a teacher, which has dried up the opportunity for teachers and students. The withered old rotten wood of the teacher. I can't live for a few years. It's all thanks to the sword. ’
Ren Xiaochen's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he fell to his knees with a pop, his face was full of sadness and sadness, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow. Only then did I understand the reason why the master said that he was only 47 years old, but he was like an old man approaching the wind and candle. Master, you also said that there are no wonders in the world. Isn't there a fairy grass spirit that can save the master?'
Jiang Yucheng looked at the apprentice who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was also unspeakably painful. Shook his head helplessly. It's useless, and I don't need to talk about it in the future. There is no solution. As long as you remember that if you succeed in cultivation in the future, you must find the two of you and avenge your master, and I don't have anything else to think about. You get up, you don't have to be too sad, Xiuzhen lives and dies, just rely on your own ability and ability, if you don't have the ability and ability to be killed, hum, that's just deserved'
Ren Xiaochen didn't get up pretentiously and recalled the meaning of what the master said, and kept muttering in his heart, 'Ability, ability.' Relying on himself' wiped his tears, Ren Xiaochen looked at the master and said, "Master rest assured." These two thieves. If the apprentice is successful in cultivation, he must kill these two people to avenge his master. ’
'Alright. You just have to do it. Jiang Yucheng took out two yellowed books and handed them to Ren Xiaochen. "Your mana is low now, and you can't use a lot of things when you gather a layer of qi, so I will keep it for you first." You have water, wood. Two Spiritual Roots. The water spirit root is also very ordinary, and the wood spirit root is even worse to the extreme, and it is not suitable for cultivation, so the teacher chose a set of magic methods based on the water spirit root for you, and the 'clear water decision' can only be cultivated to the foundation building period, and when you are in the Danji period, you have to rely on yourself to find a better way to cultivate. The wood system exercises practiced for the teacher are of little use to you, and this source wood decision will also be handed over to you. ’
