Chapter 22: Wood Spirit Apprenticeship (2nd Watch)
After the three of them left Wanshou Mountain, they stopped and stopped all the way, but they were also idle.
On this day, the three of them, as usual, walked unhurriedly, and suddenly heard someone talking in front of them, and the three of them walked forward curiously.
"Thank you for the kindness of the two Taoists, the little woman understands it, but the little woman has already identified a teacher in her heart, so she can't worship the Taoist as a teacher, and please forgive the two Taoists. I saw a girl dressed in white say to two middle-aged Taoists.
One of the Taoists had a yellow and thin face, and the other was holding a branch and was talking to the woman.
The yellow-faced and thin Taoist said: "The poor Tao also sees that you are talented and intelligent, and it is a spiritual grass transformation, which is similar to the poor Tao, and I can't bear you to be buried, so I want to take you as a disciple and teach you the Tao." ”
"Let's not talk about the cultivation of the teacher you want to worship, what if I don't want to take you as an apprentice? Another Taoist also persuaded.
Before the woman could speak, Fan Zichen and his party walked over, and the woman also saw Fan Zichen and was immediately very excited.
Fan Zichen stepped forward and said, "Poor Dao Xuanchen, these two are Zhenyuanzi Daoyou and Hongyun Daoyou, I have seen two Daoists. Fan Zichen said.
"Poor Dao Zhun Ti, this is the poor Dao senior brother who has been guided by him, and he has seen three Taoist friends. One of the Taoists said.
"The little woman Mu Ling has seen the three Dao Masters, I wonder if Xuan Chen's Daoist friends still recognize the little woman?" I saw the woman say to Fan Zichen.
These words made Fan Zichen very puzzled, because he had no impression of the woman, so he had to speak: "Oh?
"The little woman was just a spiritual grass before, and she opened the spiritual wisdom by chance, but if there is no special chance, I don't know when she will be able to transform into a shape, and then she happened to meet the Taoist chief who poured some tea into the ground, and the little woman absorbed it, and then practiced diligently, and finally succeeded in transforming into a teacher, so she decided to worship the Taoist as a teacher. The woman said.
And the two of them realized at this moment that Xuan Chen in front of them was the teacher that the woman was going to worship.
And Fan Zichen also understood that the teacher in the woman's mouth just now was referring to herself, "Poor Dao did drink tea on a mountain before, and then splashed the unfinished tea on the ground, speaking of which, you do have a fate with Poor Dao, Poor Dao has already accepted three apprentices before, so you will be the fourth disciple of our family." ”
"Xuanchen Daoyou, this wood spirit was going to worship my senior brother as a teacher before, but it's not good to have this behavior. The quasi-Daoist said.
"Oh, what Mu Ling said just now, but the poor Dao and the two Daoists heard it, could it be that the Daoist friends are ready to forcibly accept the disciples?" Fan Zichen said with a smile.
"Okay, junior brother, since Mu Ling doesn't want to worship the poor Dao as a teacher, let's stop this matter. The usher finished speaking and left.
When the Zhun Ti Daoist saw his brother leaving, he followed suit.
"Mu Ling, this is your Uncle Zhen Yuanzi, this is your Uncle Hongyun, why don't you come to see the ceremony?" Fan Zichen said to Mu Ling.
"Mu Ling has seen the two uncles. Mu Ling saluted Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.
"Master Mu Ling and nephew don't have to be polite, the two of you are close friends to your master, since you are Lingcao Dao, these two ginseng fruits should be used as a meeting gift between me and your Uncle Hongyun, it will have a great effect on you. Zhen Yuanzi said to Mu Ling.
"Since your uncle gave it to you, you can take it. Fan Zichen said.
"Mu Ling, thank you two uncles for your kindness. Mu Ling thanked Zhen Yuanzi and the others.
"Since your two uncles have given you gifts, it seems a little stingy to not give anything to the teacher, so I will give you this enlightenment tea. Fan Zichen said as he took out some enlightenment tea and handed it to Mu Ling.
"Thank you for the teacher's reward, Mu Ling must cultivate well and live up to the teacher's hard work. Mu Ling said.
"Xuanchen Dao is friendly and blessed, it is calculated that Daoist friends have already accepted four disciples, right? Poor Dao is also a little envious. Hongyun said with envy.
"If you are envious, you can also accept a few apprentices, if there is news that you want to accept apprentices, I am afraid that there are many people who want to apprentice in the wilderness. Fan Zichen said.
"Accepting apprentices depends on fate, otherwise it's better not to accept them. Hongyun shook his head and said.
"Mu Ling, I don't know what kind of cultivation you are doing now?" Fan Zichen asked.
"The disciple is ashamed, although he has been blessed by the teacher, but now his cultivation has only reached the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. Mu Ling replied.
"You don't have to worry about this, when you return to Penglai Island in the future, the teacher will systematically teach you the magic powers, as long as you work hard. Fan Zichen said to her.
"Please also rest assured, the disciple has also experienced a lot of things in the flood and wilderness over the years, and he knows that strength is the foundation, and he will definitely cultivate well. Mu Ling said.
"It's good that you understand, you can refine that ginseng fruit now, and the poor Dao will protect the Dharma for you. Fan Zichen said to Mu Ling.
"Thank you, teacher. After Mu Ling finished speaking, he began to take ginseng fruit on the spot, while Fan Zichen took care of it on the side.
Mu Ling was originally a spiritual grass to attain the Dao, so the ginseng fruit had a great effect on her, and could even change her talent.
Soon, Mu Ling refined all the two ginseng fruits, and his cultivation had already entered the late stage of the Golden Immortal.
"Thank you, teacher and uncle. The wood spirit saluted the trio.
"Don't be polite, for the teacher and your two uncles are still preparing to travel in the wilderness, you can follow us. Fan Zichen replied.
After Mu Ling agreed, he and Fan Zichen began to travel in the wilderness.
