Du Qi said: "Do you want me to call you Master?" Then I have to wait until I have done the apprenticeship to see if you have the real ability to teach me, but how to call it is also my business, isn't it, Boss Lin? ā
Lao Lin rolled his eyes and said: "Rotten wood can't be carved, why don't you hurry in?" ā
In this way, the two lived in two empty rooms upstairs in Lao Lin's restaurant, Lao Lin stipulated that they should get up to work before dawn every day, and when Lao Lin closed the shop and took a nap after lunch, the two were responsible for buying and picking up the goods, and after dinner closed, Lao Lin took a bath and slept, and they washed the dishes and cleaned.

Qin Xin threw the clothes she bought back yesterday on the bed, and the person also threw herself on it, and blamed him dissatisfiedly: "You are shrewd and confused for a while, such a low wage, such a heavy and tiring work, and you are willing to do it?" ā
Du Qi smiled and said mysteriously: "I don't care about the salary, I just want to see what he is capable of." ā
Qin Xin smiled: "Are you going to go home and become a chef in the future to make a lot of money?" ā
Du Qi said dumbly: "How much can you earn as a cook?" What's more, I'm not here. ā
Qin Xin stretched and groaned, "Then what are you doing staying here?" ā
Du Qi smiled: "Of course, it's for my Xin'er to find out the news, what else can there be?" ā
Qin Xin was about to sneer at each other, when she suddenly heard Lao Lin shouting downstairs: "You two still come down to work?" ā
Duge jumped up and ran out as he responded, "It's coming!" Since then, the two have been busy from morning to night, and they are so busy that they don't even have enough time to sleep every day. However, Lao Lin does have real skills in making dim sum, and he is well-known in the local area, and the business travelers who pass by are happy to patronize it, and some people even make a special trip to visit, Du Qi feels that the buns made by Lao Lin are much more delicious than the buns made by Sister Xiaoyue's father, Lao Cai.
Lao Lin's breakfast shop only sells all kinds of cakes, steamed buns and porridge, both in the morning and at noon. But Lao Lin is more than that, after having Du Qi and Qin Xin, Lao Lin also cooks some rice and fried a few side dishes from time to time, and he doesn't even sleep in the afternoon, and is open every day from morning to night.
Du Qi and Qin Xin are quite handsome in appearance, there is no need to deliberately dress up, the two have become Lao Lin's early shop signs, and it didn't take long for the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" to become famous, attracting more guests.
Because Du Qi and Qin Xin studied hard, and Lao Lin also devoted himself to passing on his cooking skills to them, two months down, Qin Xin benefited a lot, Du Qi is full of confidence, thinking that no matter where you go, you can also show your own strength and feet to stand alone, after the shop was closed this night, the two took advantage of Lao Lin to go upstairs, and discussed while cleaning up the tables and chairs. Du Qi said: "Xin'er, what do you think of the past two months?" ā
Qin Xin collapsed in the chair, sighed and said: "It's so busy in the dark, there is no idle life, it seems that it is so interesting, not to mention that we can't hear useful news at all, we are a waste of time to stay here, why don't we leave here tomorrow?" ā
Duch shook his head and said, "No, it's not the time yet. ā
Qin Xin said distressedly: "When will it be?" But to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to leave. ā
Du Qi was tired of this kind of work, and said with a wry smile, "I'm comparing patience with Lao Lin, it depends on who can't survive first, it's really not good, we can stay here for a few more months at most, and when the New Year comes, we have to leave here anyway when the weather returns, otherwise I really can't stand it." ā
Qin Xin was startled and screamed: "There are still six or seven months before the New Year, what kind of idea are you playing, so that we can't leave now?" ā
Du Qi suddenly glanced at Qin Xin and shouted, "Boss Lin, can you come down and sit down and rest?" ā
Lao Lin's figure appeared at the staircase and said with a smile: "Okay, of course, I have something to tell you." ā
Du Qi and Qin Xin glanced at each other, they were both stunned, and suddenly they felt that Du Qi suddenly changed his naughty appearance, and exclaimed solemnly: "Master, please!" ā
Lao Lin walked down the stairs, looked at Du Qi and Qin Xin, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and it took a while to suppress this rare emotion, sit next to the two, and said coldly: "Since you have done the apprenticeship ceremony, it is the first time that you have called me Master in person, okay, very good, it means that you still have me as a master in your kid's mind." ā
Du Qi laughed and said, "I don't call Master in my mouth, but I actually call it many times in my heart every day." ā
Lao Lin smiled: "As long as you have a flamboyant tongue and don't have a word of truth, can you hide your little belly from me?" Since you call me Master, tell me honestly about your identity and background, and see if we can continue to get along. ā
Du Qi said: "Boy Xiangyang Du Qi, there is no other teacher, so the master can rest assured." ā
Lao Lin laughed, his waist straightened, and suddenly he seemed to be a different person, exuding a huge momentum that was incredible, staring at Qin Xin with blazing eyes, and said indifferently: "Girl, look at your heroic spirit, but naturally reveal a sense of amazement, it is obvious that you have pure Taoist skills, which master is Lingshi?" ā
Qin Xin saw that Lao Lin seemed to be a different person in just a moment, from mediocre to majestic, with a floating atmosphere, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said respectfully: "The family teacher Lushan 'Jiumu Zhenren'." ā
Lao Lin was slightly surprised: "It's her, good, good!" You can sit in on the hearing, but don't talk to people afterwards. Xuan said to Du Qi: "Boy, I see that your internal skills have reached the realm of returning to the basics, but how do you practice it?" ā
Du Qi said: "The kid's internal skills are passed down from his family, but he has unintentionally reached this point. ā
Lao Lin pondered and said, "Sure enough, it is a profound blessing, have you ever heard of the 'Danding faction'?" ā
Du Qi said movingly: "Could it be that Master is King Dan?" ā
Lao Lin shook his head and said: "'Dan King' Zhang Luan, a member of the 'Jindan faction', can indeed refine a few pills, and he also has a bit of a reputation in the rivers and lakes, and is highly respected by people from all walks of life, and everyone in the world is proud to be able to get his pills. ā
Du Qi said: "Then the master must be a member of the Danding faction?" ā
Lao Lin said: "Yes, Lao Fu Lin Wantang, the fifteenth generation of the Danding faction, is known as the 'alchemy master' by the same people in the Dao." ā
Du Qi said: "Danding faction or Jindan faction, who has higher alchemy skills?" ā
Lin Wantang snorted: "The Jindan faction is a branch of my Danding faction, thinking that by taking the 'golden pill' refined by eating, you can live forever and eventually become an immortal, which completely distorts the art of the outer Dan upheld by our faction, only saying that alchemy, even if it is a Dan servant of my faction, it can also be comparable to the Dan King Zhang Xuan." ā
Qin Xin couldn't help but say: "Wang Po sells melons, and she sells herself and boasts!" ā
Lin Wantang said: "What does the little girl know? Although my Danding faction adheres to the outer Dan technique, it pays attention to the combination of internal qi cultivation, and mainly focuses on the cultivation of internal qi, supplemented by the outer Dan Gong, and the inner Dan technique of the 'Jindan Avenue' is called the inner and outer Dan Dao, and the alchemy is mainly to save the world and help people, and it must not be passed on, such as the Jindan faction, how can the schools of the Jindan faction that only know how to blindly take the so-called Jindan in order to seek immortality can be compared with our faction? ā
Du Qi said: "In this case, why did Master want to pass on this Wai Dan technique to me so hastily? ā
Lin Wantang smiled: "If it weren't for my fancy for your qualifications, would I have kept you?" If you hadn't sensed my secrets, would you have stayed here and suffered? What's more, I'm just inspecting you now, and I haven't said that I must grant you the Danding faction. ā
Qin Xin said suddenly: "No wonder the two of you have been mysterious and mysterious in the past two months, it turns out that you have long had other plans in your own hearts!" ā
Du Qi said, "Can I enter the Master's eyes?" ā
Lin Wantang ignored Qin Xin's words, and said solemnly: "Your qualifications are indeed the best choice, but if you want to obtain the outer Dan technique of my Danding faction, your internal cultivation will not be able to keep it." ā
Du Qi was surprised: "You mean that if I learn the art of the outer pill, I must first disperse the internal skills I practiced?" ā
Lin Wantang nodded and said, "That's why I hesitated, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while." ā
Du Qi said dejectedly: "What I have learned is the best Inner Dan technique, if I destroy it in order to learn the Outer Dan Technique, it is indeed a bit uneconomical, it seems that I have no fate with the Danding faction." ā
Lin Wantang said movingly: "What you are cultivating is actually the technique of Inner Dan?" No wonder I can't see through where your inner strength comes from! It seems that God bless my Danding faction, and I actually got a successor with the skill of Inner Dan! ā
Du Qi said secretly when he heard this: "What I practiced is the most important practice for longevity practiced by Guangchengzi, of course you can't see through it, if you know the inside story, I don't know how surprised you are." With his thoughts surging, Du Qi turned over and knelt in front of Lin Wantang and bowed: "Master is above, please accept the worship of the apprentice Du Qi!" As he spoke, he knocked his head nine times in a row.
Lin Wantang sat on the chair, accepted Du Qi's worship gift safely, and then stretched out his hand to help Du Qi up, and said happily: "Okay, from today on, you Du Qi is the sixteenth generation of my Danding faction!" ā
Du Qi smiled and said, "Then Master doesn't hurry up and teach the disciple Danding Dafa?" ā
Lin Wantang got up and walked to the counter with his sleeves up, and said solemnly: "Since you want to be artistic, why don't you hurry up!" ā
Du Qi saw Lin Wantang walk to the counter, open the mechanism, and the counter and the closet in the counter slid silently to the side, revealing a secret door embedded in the corner of the ground, open the secret door, and a stone step went straight down. Lin Wantang walked in without hesitation, and Du Qi was about to follow up, when he suddenly remembered that when he was twelve years old, his grandfather and father also brought themselves into such an underground secret room to pass on their arts, and suddenly suffered misfortune. He looked at the master's back, stopped suddenly, and suddenly said, "Master, I don't want to learn anymore, you better come out." ā
Lin Wantang turned around in surprise and said, "What did you say?" ā
Du Qi suddenly felt a pain in his heart and said, "I don't want to leave Master, so I don't want to study now." ā
Lin Wantang obviously had the wrong intention, and couldn't help but be moved, turned around and pulled up Du Qi, and felt some sourness in his heart, and said lovingly: "Silly boy, there is no banquet in the world, as long as you can inherit my Danding faction, I am deeply pleased to be a teacher." Seeing that Qin Xin was still sitting there motionless, he thought about it and beckoned, "Girl, if you are interested, you can also come and have a look." ā
Qin Xin cheered, and hurriedly jumped up and followed behind Du Qi, who was half-dragged and half-pulled by Lin Wantang.
The secret room is not less than twenty feet deep into the ground, the air is still fresh and there is no feeling of suffocation, under the light of the giant candle brought by Lin Wantang, Du Qi saw at a glance that there was a golden statue in front of the inner wall, but he didn't know who it was.
Du Qi was thinking about it, only to hear Lin Wantang shouting: "Qi'er, this is the patriarch of the Kaipai, come and pay homage!" ā
Du Qi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Lin Wantang's instructions, knelt down in front of the statue and muttered: "The patriarch is above, the sixteenth generation disdains the younger generation Du Qi to come to worship, your old man is traveling outside the world, everything is good?" May your old man be mighty and bless my faction to carry forward! ā
Lin Wantang saw that Du Qi's gift had been completed, and hurriedly helped him up, and said solemnly: "I sent the patriarch Wei Ao to be born in a high family, but he refused to be a eunuch, lived in idleness, and was good at Taoism. ā
Du Qi said: "Master, how many sages have I sent to cultivate to become immortals?" ā
Lin Wantang said: "My Danding faction was originally a big faction of foreign Danshu cultivation to seek immortal fruit, from the seventh generation, somehow there was a civil strife, and was attacked by foreign enemies, as a result, there were heavy casualties, vitality was greatly damaged, our faction is divided into countless small gangs, all of them claim to be able to pass on the authentic foreign Danshu, and the Jindan faction just mentioned is one of them. The current head of the family survived, and then found a successor and passed on the mantle of our faction. Since then, our faction has disappeared, only one person per generation, and each generation can receive up to four Dan servants, except for three or two predecessors with poor qualifications, who have not achieved great success, and the rest have all been able to ascend to immortals. ā
Du Qi said again: "Could it be that the master has the alchemy stunt of the world but has never performed it?" ā
Lin Wantang seemed a little helpless, and sighed: "The alchemy technique of my faction is indeed outstanding, but because I send people Ding is not prosperous and the strength is not strong, in order to avoid the covetousness of those with bad intentions and the inability to protect themselves, I send each generation of heirs to seek seclusion, except for three or five confidants, never reveal the alchemy technique in front of outsiders." After learning alchemy for his teacher, he only refined a few furnaces of elixir for a few friends thirty years ago. ā
Du Qi also sighed: "What a pity! Wouldn't I have to live in seclusion like Master? ā
Lin Wantang said: "You can cultivate both inside and outside, you can do it at will!" ā
Du Qi smiled and said, "No wonder Master is so happy to see me, is Master about to attain enlightenment?" ā
Lin Wantang suddenly said gloomily: "As a teacher, he has always been foolish, his qualifications are not good, and he has no chance to attain the Tao for the time being. As he spoke, he took out an oiled paper package from the secret compartment of the stone offering table in front of the statue, handed it to Du Qi and said: "This is the treasure of my sect, all the magic techniques of the Dan Fang are in it, I will teach it to you now, you must study hard, practice hard, and remember to find the best heirs to pass on before the Tao!" ā
Du Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground, took the oil paper package in Lin Wantang's hand, and felt heavy as if he had received a thousand catties of heavy burden, with a trace of excitement in his heart, but also a little melancholy and confusion, but he swore solemnly: "Master rest assured, the disciples must remember the teachings and carry forward our faction!" ā
