Volume 1: Baiyun Mountain Taoist Academy Chapter 5: Apprenticeship

"Two bowls of hot noodle soup. ”

Xiao Er glanced at the little beggar who was held in the hand by the old Taoist priest in surprise, and hurriedly ran into the back kitchen.

Two large bowls of hot noodle soup were quickly served, the bowl in front of Chen Yusheng was obviously more, the old Taoist priest handed him the chopsticks, he didn't refuse, he couldn't take care of the hot when he grabbed it, and devoured it for a while.

"Eat slowly, it will hurt your throat," the old Taoist priest only watched him eat, but he didn't do it himself.

Nodding, Chen Yusheng slowed down the movements of his hands, but his mouth kept chewing, and the bean-sized tears kept falling into the noodle soup, and he picked up the bowl and drank it into his stomach.

The old Taoist priest didn't dislike him for being dirty, stroked his hair, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and when he finished eating a bowl, he pushed his own bowl to him as well, and waited until he ate the two bowls of noodles cleanly, and then spoke softly, "Poor Dao Dao is clear, are you willing to leave here with Lao Dao?"

Chen Yusheng raised his head, his eyes looked at the Qingxu Dao Elder in front of him blankly, and there was no trace of sadness and joy on his numb face, "Can you make me stronger?"

"Why are you so persistent and stronger?" the old Taoist elder looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Yusheng's eyes were confused, as if he had thought of something, and muttered in his mouth, "I have a reason to make myself stronger." ”

The old Taoist priest stroked his long beard, only smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, "Child, you have to keep in mind that no one in this world can make you strong, only you can make you strong, and the poor Dao can give you all the conditions to become stronger, but in the end, you still have to rely on yourself." ”

This point seemed to open the haze that had been above Chen Yusheng's head, he stared at Qingxu Lao Dao deadly, his pupils were slightly open, and there was no hesitation in his heart, and he knelt directly in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!"

After three rings.

"Disciple to see Master. ”

Lao Dao was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly, some time ago, he was in a little restless in retreat, fate and days led him to the northwest, all the way to his heart, until he saw this little beggar outside the inn, he knew that this child was his own fate in the mortal world, since the will of heaven is like this, why should he refuse.

"Okay, good ......" Qingxu happily helped him up, "then good apprentice, can I tell you your name now?"

Chen Yusheng lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at Qingxu's eyes, "The disciple's name is Yusheng," and then he looked at Qingxu gloomily, and then said, "The surname is Chen, the 'Chen' of Linjiang." ”

After that, he lowered his head and trembled nervously, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the muddy waters of the Chen family were, so he was afraid that Qingxu would be afraid of him once he knew his identity, but he didn't want to hide anything from Qingxu.

Lao Dao was slightly stunned, and at the same time he was pleased with his honesty to himself, he glanced at him with pity, Chen, these are the two words he has heard the most along the way in the past few days, "In the future, you will be called Yu Sheng, and when you are strong enough to feel that you can kill yourself for revenge, you will call Chen Yu Sheng again, how about it?" Then, worried that he would misunderstand, he continued, " It's not that you're worried about getting into trouble for the teacher, it's just a group of filthy rats at night, and the teacher doesn't pay attention to it, but there are some things that you need to deal with with yourself, and you can completely remove the demons in the future. ”

The young man was slightly stunned, looked at Lao Dao fixedly, and said with a smile after a while: "Okay!"

At this moment, the pure smile on the little beggar's face made the shopkeeper who had been paying attention to him not far away, and a word couldn't help but come out of his mind, "Alluring the country and the city".

I'm leaving.

Walking out of the inn, Yu Sheng seemed to remember something again, broke free from the hand held by Lao Dao, turned around and ran back to the inn, and stuffed a silver ingot into the second brother's hand.

Xiao Er clutched the silver ingot in his hand tightly, and stood there stunned, looking at the little beggar in front of him, who was dirty and still dressed in tattered cotton clothes, and his mind was in chaos.

The old Taoist priest stood outside the door with a smile on his face, nodded imperceptibly, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for taking care of you, little second brother. ”

"No...... You're welcome ......"

Xiao Er didn't know how to answer for a while, and after stammering and thanking him, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently stroked his little head, and muttered: "Follow the Taoist in the future, you have to live well......"

Yu Sheng nodded vigorously, grinned at him, turned around and ran to the old Taoist priest waiting outside the door.

Xiao Er leaned in front of the door, feeling that the already bright Yangguan in the sky outside seemed to be a little brighter, looking at the young back that had gone away, his smile couldn't help but echo in front of him, as if the cleanest touch in the world, let him never forget, how did he know that he was not a ray of fluorescence in the dark life of the little beggar.

Who says there is no truth in the world? It's just that too many people are incapable.

"Master, what is the name of our sect?"

"Dojo. ”

"Is it far from here?"

"Far away, on the distant Baiyun Mountain. ”

"Why don't you call it Daozong?"

"Oh, why do you call it a Taoist sect?"

"I always feel that the Taoist Sect sounds more domineering. ”

"Really? hahaha...... Because the Dao Academy is the branch of the Dao Sect in the Northern Regions!"

"Alas, where is the Dao Sect?"

"In the Middle Domain, this world is called the Heavenly Continent, the Northern Domain is only a very small piece, the Central Domain is vast and boundless, and when you become very strong, the master will take you to the Middle Domain Dao Sect. ”

"Good!"

......

Along the way, a chattering question, a tireless answer, an old man and a young man holding hands, slowly disappeared outside Jinyang City.

The Wei River, the barrier to the south of Jinyang City, the largest river in the Tang Empire, is beyond sight.

The old Taoist priest sat on a boulder and meditated with his eyes closed, squatted by the river for the rest of his life, cleaned his little head with the cold and biting river water, and then learned the old way to pull up his hair, and tied his hair up with a shabby wooden hairpin that he picked up from nowhere, and the breeze rolled up a few strands of naughty long hair scattered on his forehead and temples, making his handsome little face a little more vivid.

Qingxu Lao Dao looked at the little apprentice in front of him funny, he was dressed like this, but he really had the appearance of a little Taoist child.

The boat that crossed the river came, and Qingxu took Chen Yusheng and walked up.

"Master, should we go back to the Taoist Academy directly?"

"No, let's go back to the Taoist Courtyard while we travel. ”

The big ship gradually sailed to the opposite bank, and the rest of his life stood in the bow of the boat, looking in the direction of Linjiang City, which was gradually moving to the northwest, where his eternal roots were buried, and where his relatives were buried.

Thinking about it, his eyes gradually became blurry, "Daddy......"

After Qingxu took the rest of his life off the ship, he slept all the way to the southeast and went southeast.

After a few days, Qingxu didn't teach anything to his disciples, he could see that the Chen family's secret method was indeed not simple, so naturally he would not go to the end of the book, but just pointed out some cultivation experience to him, even so, it was enough for Chen Yusheng to benefit a lot, last night he had broken through to the innate ninth layer, only one step away from the condensation.

"Master, the apprentice is one step away from condensing, do you need to prepare anything?"

Qingxu knocked his little head with a smile, and after getting along for days, he had already figured out the temperament of his little apprentice, and knew that he was changing his way to benefit himself.

"Don't worry, ordinary people's condensation is to run internal force to forcibly open up the two veins of heaven and earth, but I don't know, such a method will hurt the foundation, the foundation of the monk will affect the level of future achievements, the higher the cultivation, the greater the impact, and if you want to make up for the previous damage in the future, it will be even more difficult, so the teacher must give you the aid of refining a blind elixir, so that your foundation is intact. ”

Chen Yusheng tilted his head and looked at Qingxu suspiciously, "Pills, does Master also refine pills?"

"Of course, being a teacher is a Taoist, in addition to the Dan Master in this world, our Taoist priest is the best at alchemy. ”

"Then can Master teach me the art of alchemy in the future?"

Looking at the disciple with an excited face, Qingxu chuckled and spoke, "When you enter the psychic realm, the teacher will teach you this technique." ”

"I have to wait until the psychic realm to learn!" Chen Yusheng suddenly looked depressed when he heard this, and when he arrived at the psychic realm, he didn't know what year and month it was.

Qingxu patted the back of his head, seeing his appearance, worried that it would hit his enthusiasm, "You live in the northwest of the Northern Regions, thinking that the psychic realm is very strong, in fact, in the outside world, the psychic realm is only the beginning of entering the strong, the talented disciples in the Taoist Academy, generally in their twenties can enter the psychic realm, you have good talent, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Chen Yusheng looked at the master with a shocked face, and his words simply ruined his three views.

From his voice, it is not difficult to see that the strong people in the psychic realm in the Daoist Academy are just disciples in the courtyard, how powerful the Daoist Academy is, and how terrifying the Dao Sect in the Central Domain should be, you must know that the strongest person in the Chen family is just the ancestor at the peak of the psychic realm, relying on a few psychic powerhouses to become one of the strongest families in the Tang Empire, similar to the Chen family, not to mention in the Central Domain, even if it is placed in the Northern Domain, in the eyes of those powerful forces, I am afraid it is not even a fart.

Ignoring Chen Yusheng, who was still stunned behind him, Qingxu glanced at the tall city that was not far ahead, got up and walked forward.

"Let's go, there is a big city in front of us, let's go around and see if we can buy the medicinal materials for refining the elixir. ”

"Oh!"

Chen Yusheng followed excitedly, and finally he was about to condense, and more importantly, he wanted to see the legendary and mysterious alchemy.
