"Come, introduce, your new little junior brother is called Catching Insects, everyone is welcome!" The fat elder spoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The seven children immediately applauded and said in unison, "Welcome to the insect catcher!" ā
"Master! I'm Tie Zheng! I'm not called catching insects! Tie Zheng resisted loudly.
"Uh, I forgot to tell you, my apprentices don't even use their original names, let's tell the insect catchers one by one, what are your names!"
"Hello, Senior Brother Insect Catcher! I'm Brother Lipin! ā
"Hello insect catcher! I'm the second senior brother, guess the picture! ā
"Hello, junior brother of insect catcher! I'm the third senior brother, my name is Xiao Guess Tu! ā
"Hello insect catcher! I'm the fourth senior sister climbing the air! ā
"Hello, Brother Insect Catcher! I'm the fifth senior brother watching the eggs! ā
"I'm the sixth senior sister Xiutian, the junior brother of catching insects, welcome to you!"
"Hello, Senior Brother Insect Catcher! I'm the seventh senior sister counting! The last little girl of four or five years old said crisply.
Tie Zheng was really dumbfounded this time, where did he come, what a strange country! At this moment, he even forgot about the bullet bugs crawling around on his body.
"Okay, I've all known each other, let's go back and do your own thing!" The fat elder looked at Tie Zheng and stood still, secretly proud, this time stop you kid! "Catch insects, you go and start doing things!" With that, he left the courtyard.
"Okay... All right... Tie Zheng didn't come back to his senses until this moment, and took the vial in a trance, and began to catch the bullet worm. At this time, he realized the difficulty of catching insects, and when he slapped it and raised his hand, he saw that the bullet insects had already been scattered, and his hands were empty. It was easy to grab one, put it in the bottle, and when I caught one again and was about to put it in, the gap between the cork and the bottle was slightly larger, and the original one flew away.
While catching insects, he also had to keep driving away the bullet insects that fell on his body, which made Tie Zheng sweat profusely in less than half an hour, but there were still only five or six in the jade bottle. He finally understood that he had been fooled by the fat elder, this was a big pit that had been dug, and the bullet worms here could not be caught at all, the fat elder just wanted to make himself his disciple, and he was stupidly jumping into this pit, and he had already high-fived and swore that he couldn't go back!
Thinking of this, Tie Zheng was even more frustrated, slapped the bullet worm on his body, and walked towards Senior Brother Lizhen, wanting to see what he was doing on the edge of the table all the time. After approaching, I saw that there were two dark iron needles on the table in front of the senior brother, and the strange thing was not that there was anything special about these needles, but that these two needles were pointing downwards and standing on top of each other. And the senior brother is holding another needle to put on the standing needle butt, this difficulty is too high!
Tie Zheng couldn't help but wonder, "Senior brother, can you put this on?" Before he could finish speaking, the two overlapping needles fell down and landed on the table.
"Oops, failed again." Senior Brother raised his head with a mutter, "Senior Brother Insect Catcher, is that you?" Of course, the master can easily stack a dozen of them, and I only stack two at most. ā
"It's so hard, can I try it?" When Tie Zheng heard this, he was energetic, if I could erect more, let that fat elder call me master.
"Yes, there are a lot of needles here!"
After a moment, Tie Zheng left the table and walked towards the second and third senior brothers. This needle is not easy to stand, so it's always easier to guess the picture blindfolded.

Soon, Tie Zheng walked towards the fourth senior sister again, only to see the fourth senior sister grasping a stick that didn't exist at all, desperately climbing up. To Tie Zheng's surprise, he actually saw that the fourth senior sister had really had her feet half a foot off the ground a few times. You know, a few of the children here can't cultivate, and they don't have the help of things like the Floating Array Disk now.

The fifth senior brother had already lost half a basket of eggshells beside him, and he was staring at the eggs on the table at the moment, "Cooked, cooked, hurry up and become cooked!" After a while, I saw him pick up the egg and knock it on the table, pop, the eggshell cracked, but no egg liquid flowed out, and as the eggshell peeled off, it was really a cooked egg in his hand.
Is that okay? Tie Zheng was speechless, he was obviously holding the egg in his ear just now, and it was certain that it was not cooked.

"Sixth Senior Sister, hello!" Tie Zheng greeted casually. At this moment, the sixth senior sister was holding a colored thread, which kept running through the air, and the thread did not fall off immediately, but slowly became the shape of a small bird, and then gradually dispersed. Tie Zheng's jaw was about to fall.

"Seven... Seventh Senior Sister, are you also catching insects? Tie Zheng looked at the four or five-year-old girl, who was pinching a bullet bug and looking left and right.
"No, I'm counting how many bullet bugs there are in this little courtyard. It's just that some of them look too alike. The girl let go of the marbleworm and clapped her little hands.
"How do you count that? Won't you count repeats? "Tie Zheng's mouth is enough to put several eggs.
"So, you have to remember what every bullet insect you count looks like. I've only counted sixty-one thousand eight hundred and five so far, which is really hard. The little girl said casually.
Tie Zheng now finally knows how the names of these senior brothers and sisters came from, and this world is really full of wonders.
An hour later, Tie Zheng returned to the small tent, and before he had completely eased up, he told Zhu Yiyue all about this group of strange masters and apprentices.
Zhu Yiyue had already learned the news that Fat Elder was going to accept Tie Zheng as an apprentice, of course she would not object, after all, it was Tie Zheng himself who swore by high-five with Fat Elder.
Although she was also a little annoyed by the fat elder's apprenticeship process, she could only enlighten, "Zheng'er, since you agreed to call the fat elder a master, you must be trustworthy, besides, the fat elder is very good to us, every day, you will spend an extra hour with him, you also said that your senior brothers and sisters can't cultivate, but they can do such magical things, which shows that what the fat elder taught is still somewhat useful!" ā
"That... All right! Seeing that his mother also said the same, Tie Zheng was helpless.
In the evening, Tie Zheng continued to sit in the soundproof magic circle, desperately wishing that he could fly in mid-air like those holy guards.

The fat elder's courtyard.
"I said vertical needles, why are you so stupid, you can only fold two until now, you have to be careful! Stabilize the needle with your heart, make it obedient, and don't stagger! ā
"Xiao Guess Tu, you too, your eyes are blindfolded, so you look with your heart, I see that your heart has run to see the egg."
"And embroidery heaven, such a big piece of cloth in the sky, why can't your thread embroider it, you have to imagine it as a very strong cloth, how can the thread slide down?"
"It's so stupid, I still can't think of a solution...
Tie Zheng listened to the fat elder's ramblings, and suddenly had an idea, yes, Senior Brother's needle and Sixth Senior Sister's thread can stay in the air, why can't I let that bullet insect stop. Thinking about the inscription of the array plate, my hand was frozen, and it seemed that my heart was pushing the tip of the knife to walk, isn't this the same!
Thinking of this, Tie Zheng sat down directly, endured the happy footsteps of those bullet insects on his body, and forced himself to concentrate and calm down...
A bullet worm was happily rubbing its legs, and suddenly one of them fell to the ground, and its two long legs kept kicking, but it couldn't get up. Tie Zheng carefully stretched out his little hand, pinched the marbleworm and stuffed it into the jade bottle, "It's really useful, it's so easy to grab one, it's great!" ā
With this method, Tie Zheng's efficiency in catching insects was greatly improved, and when the hour was over, the jade bottle in Tie Zheng's hand had already filled a small half. And the fat elder squinted at Tie Zheng's movements, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, this kid really has the talent to cultivate his mental strength.
