22, senior brother Gong Yan
Seeing that Wu Zhong had already walked behind Yu Hui, this matter was truly settled. can think of each person to take a magic weapon that can be seen, and everyone feels sick in their hearts.
Now this condition is different from the ancient period, the magic weapon is not cabbage, you can have as many as you want, not to mention that the raw materials for making various magic weapons have gradually become scarce, so it is even more precious.
Seeing this, Xiao Quan was relieved, so he stood up and said, "The apprenticeship selection has ended, and I hope you can teach these children." And you, the juniors, must also work hard to cultivate, and don't be unenterprising. The future of the Lanling Xiao clan is in your hands. ”
Wu Zhong followed the others and said yes, and then everyone began to leave.
Yu Hui sat motionless in his chair, probably asleep again.
"Master, Master, wake up, it's time for us to go back. Gong Yan said cautiously.
Yu Hui was sleepy-eyed, and when he saw everyone leaving, he got up and patted his clothes, and said, "Ah, okay, let's go." ”
In this way, the group of four people left the Taihe Hall and walked in the northeast direction.
Wu Zhong didn't know how long he had walked, he only knew that after turning seven or eight turns, the buildings he passed by were getting older and older, and at the end, he finally saw a gate that was quite passable compared to the surrounding area. The crowd stopped at the door.
The plaques on the doors are no longer clear, and the red paint of the two gates has been mottled, and in some places it is not even possible to see the original colors. When Miyahiko pushed the door open, the wooden door creaked and groaned. Wu Zhong was really afraid that if this wind went down, these two gates would fall to the ground.
Walking through the gate, there are three houses in front of you, which look a little dilapidated, but fortunately, they are okay. On the left and right sides, there are two wings. At a glance, these two wings are really not inhabitable, and Wu Zhong can even feel that there are many small lives thriving in them, such as rats and tide insects.
Yu Hui said to Gong Yan: "You arrange for the two of them, I'm going back to rest." I stayed up late last night and played a game, and I was really sleepy. After saying that, he yawned a lot, and walked into the middle room without looking back.
Gong Yan bowed respectfully towards Yu Hui's back, and only turned to look at Wu Zhong and the others when he saw him enter the room.
"From now on, we will be brothers in the same sect, my name is Gong Yan, and I also know your name. You can always come to me if you have anything in the future. Gong Yan said innocently.
At this moment, Wu Zhong really didn't have much mood to speak, the result of this apprenticeship was really beyond his expectations, he never thought that he would find such a master, so out of tune, so unfairy.
In his impression, all the old Taoist priests should be similar to those staged on TV, with white hair fluttering, crane hair and childish face, a magic weapon, and various wits between the words. Immortal Wind Dao Gu is such a person, no matter how bad he is, he should be like Xiao Quan, and he looks very bluffing. But his new master, he couldn't see the slightest trace of advanced cultivation from anywhere, and even Chu Yanchao in Yinshan looked a hundred times stronger than him.
Gao Fei didn't think about it so much, and when he heard what Gong Yan said, he still agreed with some nervousness.
At this time, Wu Zhong was a little envious of Gao Fei, envious that he was in a state no matter what, as if he would never be affected by the things around him, and would always be immersed in his own world.
When Gong Yan saw the reaction of the two, his heart suddenly became clear, remembering that he was accepted by his master at the beginning, and his reaction was not much different from Wu Zhong. Although he saw Wu Zhong's reaction in his eyes, he didn't say anything.
"You two live in the room on Master's left, and I'm in the room on Master's right, so you go and clean up first. Gong Yan said.
Although Wu Zhong was still a little disappointed in his heart, he finally walked in with Gao Fei.
There is nothing to clean up, I don't have anything with me, and this room is also very simple, except for two beds, two wardrobes, nothing else, not even a chair.
Wu Zhong sat on the bed, looking at Gao Fei who didn't know what he was busy with, thoughtfully.
Whether it was right or wrong to come here by himself, he was very confused at this time. From the beginning in his own small Taoist temple, I have a lot of fantasies about everything here in my heart, imagining all kinds of fairy-like lives, imagining vigorous senior brothers, and there must be a fairy-like master. But when I actually came here, everything was shattered.
Since yesterday, everything has been so bad. First he was almost turned away, then there was the problem of accommodation, then there was the embarrassing situation of no one choosing to take him as an apprentice today, and finally he followed the master who was completely opposite to what he imagined. He really wanted to return to his own small Taoist temple and slowly cultivate by himself.
Another thing that made him even more unacceptable was that no one chose to take him as an apprentice. He asked himself, is he really that bad? But looking at Fang Yan, among these fifty-one people, his cultivation realm is definitely superior, and his cultivation time is not long, it is not easy to reach such a realm, is all this so unimportant in their eyes?
"Your heart is upset. ”
Wu Zhong's thoughts were interrupted by this sudden words, and when he looked over, it turned out to be Gao Fei. By this time, Goofy had already sorted out everything and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him.
"What did you say?" Wu Zhong asked.
"Your heart is in turmoil. That's not good. Goofy said.
Wu Zhong was speechless by his words, but he felt a little ridiculous, so he asked, "What do you think of here?"
Goofy said, "It's good. ”
Wu Zhong then asked, "Is there no difference between this and your expectations?"
"I didn't think it would be like to come here, so it's good. Goofy said.
Wu Zhong laughed at himself, heh, what did he do with him, what did he know?
He didn't want to see Goofy like that, so he walked out of the room. As soon as he went out, he met Miyahiko.
Seeing that his mood fluctuated a little, Gong Yan naturally understood what the reason was, so he said, "Junior brother, are you willing to go with me?"
Wu Zhong couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
I saw a white auspicious cloud slowly rising under Gong Yan's feet, dragging him towards the distance.
Wu Zhong's cultivation at this time was not able to control the clouds at all, and it was even more impossible for the sword to fly, seeing Gong Yan like this, a fierce thought suddenly arose in his heart. He jumped and chased after Miyahiko through the terrain.
Gong Yan looked at Wu Zhong behind him, smiled in his heart, and still slowly flew forward.
After a short time, Gong Yan came to the top of a mountain, and a moment later Wu Zhong also appeared behind him.
"I don't know why Senior Brother asked me to come?" At this moment, Wu Zhong was already very unhappy with Gong Yan's appearance, and there was a bit of a collision in his words.
Gong Yan didn't care when he heard this, but sat straight on a stone, and then clapped his hands and said, "Come, sit together." ”
Wu Zhong had no choice but to sit down.
"Look, that's my house. Miyahiko pointed to a small village in the distance. The village was small, and it was close to noon, and the smoke was slowly rising.
"So close?" Wu Zhong said.
"Yes, I have a younger sister in addition to my parents, and now I have graduated from college and found a job. I have time to take you to my house to play, my mother's baked cakes are delicious. Gong Yan said with a smile.
"What about your family, are you an only child or do you have siblings?" asked Miyahiko.
"I'm an orphan," Wu Zhong said, "hehe, I don't know if I have any brothers and sisters." ”
Gong Yan glanced at him and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Wu Zhong said with a smile.
For a moment, the two fell silent.
"I don't think you're having a good day. Gong Yan said.
Wu Zhong wanted to say the dissatisfaction in his heart, but the words were on his lips, but he didn't say it.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I was just like you at the time, and I was even more reactive than you were when I saw all this. Gong Yan said with a smile.
Wu Zhong turned his head to look at him and did not speak.
"When I came, I was smaller than you, like Goofy. At that time, I was playing alone in the mountains, and I don't know why, but the familiar mountain roads suddenly became very unfamiliar, and I couldn't get out no matter how I walked. I was so frightened that I sat on the ground and cried. Fortunately, I met Master, and it was his old man who took me out.
"The master at that time was different from now, he could really be called an immortal wind dao bone at that time. So when he said that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice, he agreed, thinking that he could also be like Sun Wukong and Nezha in "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen List", soaring through the clouds and becoming a god. At that time, I worshipped Sun Wukong and Nezha, as well as Erlang God and other immortal figures. But when I actually saw it, I really made a fuss for a while. Gong Yan smiled. Wu Zhong also smiled, he really couldn't imagine how to make trouble with his senior brother's character.
"The environment was even worse than it is now. Think about it, twenty or thirty years ago, this was a famous poor ravine, although the Xiao family was a famous family, but the overall environment was not much better. At that time, our yard was even more dilapidated than it is now, and I even had to run to the roof to patch the holes whenever it rained, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
"When I saw this, I had a big fight with Master. Master's temper was different from now, he was really kind and pleasant at that time, coaxing me, persuading me, and even performing small spells to show me. Slowly, I stopped losing my temper and devoted myself to following the master's cultivation.
"I practiced with Master, unlike you, and at that time, my family didn't have enough to eat at all. So when an old Taoist priest and my parents made it clear that they would take me as a disciple and that they didn't need money or food, my parents were happy. Coupled with the proximity to home, I immediately agreed.
"You, on the other hand, don't do it if you don't like it, and even if you mess up, there are still other things you can choose from. At that time, I had no choice. ”
Wu Zhong listened quietly, thoughtful in his heart.
"Today I saw that you were depressed, so I wanted to take you out for a walk. I ask you, are you also disappointed with everything now?" said Gong Yan with a smile. At this time, he didn't look honest at all.
Wu Zhong nodded embarrassedly.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, hehe, it's so normal. Gong Yan said with a smile, "There is a huge psychological gap, and I have come over like this." But junior brother, with all due respect, if you really don't want to stay, you can actually leave. If you want to leave, no one will stop you. ”
Wu Zhong looked up at Gong Yan, he really didn't expect Gong Yan to say that. He wondered if he really wanted to leave, and the answer was no. He hoped to be able to obtain a systematic cultivation method, instead of doing it behind closed doors like before. And there is a faint wish in his heart, which needs to be fulfilled with the help of such a powerful force.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Gong Yan already knew in his heart: "Since I don't want to leave, I was hit by the gap in front of me." Let me ask, before you came, were you like me, imagining the Heavenly Cave Mansion and the life of the gods?"
Wu Zhong smiled and nodded.
"Let me ask again, have you ever thought that they are also human beings, ordinary people like these people under the mountain?"
