Chapter 232: Apprenticeship
Spiritual root, talent, this represents a person's cultivation improvement speed and future cultivation direction, and even has a certain impact on the impact realm.
It can be said that a monk with high qualifications is born with an innate advantage, and he is the lucky one who is favored by heaven and earth!
However, the superiority of the spiritual root does not mean everything, especially when facing the shackles of the realm, like other monks, they will endure great tests.
For example, the Lingquan Secret Realm is enough to stop the vast majority of monks in the Spirit Spring Secret Realm, and I don't know how many talented monks have fallen at this step throughout the ages!
Mind, wisdom, and understanding really determine a monk's achievements are far more than the quality of the spiritual root.
Therefore, although extraordinary qualifications are important, they are only relative, and this is the experience summed up by countless monks from ancient times to the present, and no one can argue with it.
It is precisely like this, for a monk with a high realm, if he wants to accept disciples, the spiritual root qualification is only one of the judging criteria, not the only one.
And Zhang Ming's two spiritual roots of gold and wood are indeed better than most monks, but it is really uncertain whether they will be put in the eyes of the seniors of the Destiny Palace.
Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Zhang Weihe's beautiful face, and she sighed softly: "Do your best, my sister can only help you create an opportunity to meet at most, whether it can be done or not, you have to grasp it yourself." ”
After all, she is just a small person in the Spiritual Spring Secret Realm, even if she has the master of the Six Heart Palace as a backer, but in front of the monks of the Destiny Palace, she actually has little weight at all.
What's more, it is such a matter as receiving disciples and preaching.
"Apprenticeship, this is extremely fateful, which can be grasped if you want to......"
Zhang Ming couldn't help but secretly slander himself, and then said helplessly: "I often hear people say that the seniors of the Destiny Palace are very strict in their requirements for accepting apprentices, and the sect is better, but if it is a casual cultivation senior, I am afraid it will be even more difficult." ”
Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he knew that his sister's stubborn temperament could not be changed easily once he made a decision.
Judging from his understanding of the monks of the Destiny Palace, his current situation, if he wants to succeed in apprenticeship, he has a fight with the probability of being struck by lightning in the blue sky and day.
Anyway, he didn't have much hope for it, and it was just a formality.
So, a few more small talks.
The two siblings finalized the matter and agreed on a time to prepare for the visit.
……
The sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear, and in this hot season, the air seems to be boring.
It was midday, and a heat wave was blowing, and even the monks were somewhat affected.
On a slightly undulating mountain road, Zhang Weihe and Zhang Ming, two sisters and brothers, walked slowly, saying a few words from time to time, but they were all lacking in interest.
"Sister, it's the fourth day, do you think that senior doesn't want to see us?"
Seeing that the target courtyard was in front of him, Zhang Ming suddenly asked.
In the past few days, they have come to visit many times, but without exception, they were all blocked back by a Taoist boy at the gate of the courtyard, saying that the seniors were practicing in retreat and did not see anyone.
There was no choice but to go home.
But after repeated times, all of them were closed, and anyone would feel a little unhappy.
Glaring at Zhang Ming, Zhang Weihe immediately replied: "Don't talk nonsense, in my understanding, this senior should be an ascetic, once he closes up, he won't see anyone, we just had bad luck and happened to bump into each other." Also, your current attitude is very problematic, and you don't have any patience at all, how can you succeed in apprenticeship! ”
No matter how satisfied she is with Zhang Ming's changes now, as an older sister, she still has to be reprimanded, and there can be no ambiguity.
"Okay, I know, sister, hurry up, go early and come back early, the younger brother still has to consolidate his cultivation."
Zhang Ming spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
After getting along for the past few days, he has a new view of his sister.
Now no matter what he does, Zhang Weihe has a serious face, admonishing and guiding, as if he is a strict teacher, how can he still have the amiable appearance in his memory.
But after all, he is the only relative in this world, and he has grown up under the care of the other party since he was a child, and he owes too much, so he naturally does not dare to disobey in the slightest, so he can only listen to the teachings with an open mind.
Seeing Zhang Ming's oily and smooth tone, Zhang Weihe naturally didn't have a good face, and was about to scold him.
But at this moment, a figure of a fairy wind bone appeared in the field of vision.
Dressed in a light cyan wide robe, moving with the wind, quite wonderful, tall but a little thin, with long silver-white hair coiled behind his head, very conspicuous, his face is solemn and old, and there are faint signs of mottling, which is Tu Lie, the head of Donglin Academy.
"Zhang Weihe has seen her predecessors."
"The student has seen the master of the mansion."
As soon as they saw someone coming, Zhang Weihe and Zhang Ming naturally immediately saluted respectfully.
Looking at the two sisters and brothers with some surprise, Tu Lie nodded slightly, and said flatly: "Are you two going to visit Chen Daoyou?" Well, let's go for it. ”
As he spoke, without waiting for the two siblings to react, Tu Lie's figure flickered, like a glimpse of floating light, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Zhang Weihe and Zhang Ming couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was some inexplicable meaning in their eyes.
But now that they have arrived at the gate of the hospital, the two of them have no intention of chatting about anything else, but they just inform the doorkeeper of their intentions.
This time it went very smoothly, and under the guidance of Daotong, the two soon came to the inner hall of the courtyard.
"What's the matter with me? Zhang Weihe, you should know that your fate and I are over. ”
A gray figure stood in the center of the inner hall, and made a faint voice, naturally it was Chen Ting.
Before leaving, Dao Tong had closed the door as much as possible, causing the inner hall to dim in an instant.
As if under such influence, Zhang Weihe's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "This, the juniors just came to thank me, thanks to the help and care of the seniors, I came to Donglin Academy......"
When the words fell, Zhang Weihe's face immediately became hesitant.
She really didn't expect that meeting again would be the beginning in this way, so that the little caution she had had would disappear in an instant.
Turning around, Chen Ting glanced at Zhang Weihe, and then at Zhang Ming: "This is your brother?" ”
Zhang Weihe and Zhang Ming, although their temperaments are very different, they can vaguely see some similarities in their appearances, which makes Chen Ting naturally have a guess in an instant, besides, Zhang Weihe brought people here, except for her brother, it seems that there will be no one else.
"Zhang Ming has seen his predecessors!"
At this time, Zhang Ming's heart was already full of Da Rin, but his expression and tone were still very respectful.
Just now, he was just glanced at by the young and somewhat excessive senior in front of him, which made him feel that everything was seen through in an instant, which made him very uncomfortable.
"The cultivation is not high, but it is a talent, and sure enough, like your sister, she is neither humble nor arrogant, not bad."
Looking at Zhang Ming's performance, Chen Ting suddenly showed a very playful expression, judging the thin young man in front of him.
Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Zhang Weihe's moving eyes, and a look of determination appeared on her pretty face, obviously she had already made a decision in her heart.
Since the seniors have a good impression of the younger brother, then simply go straight to the point!
Thinking like this, she said directly: "Back to the seniors, the juniors have one more thing to ask for this time, I wonder if I can accept Ah Ming as an apprentice?" As long as the seniors are willing to agree, the juniors will definitely be crushed to repay them, even if they let me be a cow and a horse, the juniors will not hesitate! ”
After speaking, Zhang Weihe seemed to have unloaded a big stone in her heart, and her expression was relieved, but then she regained her firmness.
"Sister, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ming immediately exclaimed.
Just apprenticed to a Destiny Palace monk, he has to bear such consequences, if this is the case, he will never be willing!
Besides, if the Destiny Palace Monk in front of him really agreed, then this senior would definitely not be a good master.
At least that's what he thinks.
"You have a good plan, Chen remembers that he said very clearly before he came, and it will be over when he helps you find your brother."
Quietly looking at the two sisters and brothers as if they were about to part with life and death, Chen Ting suddenly said coldly: "Now let me accept him as an apprentice, and take you as a subordinate, once it can be done, you can get out of the place of right and wrong, not to mention, and with me as a backer, you don't have to fight life and death in the troubled times, it is really a double win!" ”
The current Donglin Academy, discerning people know very well that this is already a place of great evil, as long as the monk alliance kills in a big way, it will only be an overnight thing!
And Zhang Weihe, a monk of the half-step Life Palace, not to mention affecting the overall situation, is difficult to protect himself in this whirlpool, in this case, seeking Chen Ting's help has to be said to be a good choice.
Therefore, whether Zhang Weihe is for himself or for Zhang Ming, hitting the idea on himself naturally makes him very unhappy.
