Chapter 36: Apprenticeship
Cheng nodded his head, and the little monk suddenly cheered, rushed up and said, "Xiaoqi, I'm here to help you." "Wow, little lotus root, hide quickly, be careful of your paws." Seeing Ming Jingxuan quietly walking behind the little monk, Ning Qiqi hurriedly reminded.
The huge martial arts training ground suddenly resounded with laughter.
Lin Shoucheng twisted his waist, squinted slightly at the few people playing in the field, turned his head to Wuchen and said, "Let's hold an apprenticeship ceremony on a certain day!" “
Wuchen next to him nodded: "Well, you don't need to be informed?" “
Lin Shoucheng stared at Ning Qiqi Sahuan's figure, and said with a good smile: "Don't worry, on the day of the apprenticeship, everyone who should come will come." He finally received such a desirable disciple, but he was reluctant to let her suffer a little grievance.
On the eighteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the sky is cloudless, the air is filled with rolling heat waves, the cicadas on the trees are calling weakly, in front of a small wooden house in the inner courtyard of Yunqi Temple, Gong Mingyong is busy with a bright smile and directs the monks in the temple to be busy.
In the room, Wuchen was facing Ning Qiqi, who was sitting on the chair, tirelessly telling something, and Ming Jingshuo was standing quietly next to him, with a suit and leather shoes, his eyes calm like a middle-aged man.
Listening to Wuchen's words in her ears, Ning Qiqi nodded absentmindedly while peeking at Ming Jingxuan, such a senior brother always made her feel that it was another person who was laughing and playing with her crazy that day.
Isn't it true that people have two sides, they talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see ghosts, so they are not tired? "Xiao Qi..." Seeing that Ning Qiqi's eyes were empty, Wuchen sighed, stood up and tilted his head slightly towards Ming Jingxuan, and turned to leave.
Let's let Jing Shuo, the senior brother, tell her, he and Lao Lin will be very busy.
Seeing Wuchen leave, Ming Jingshuo sat opposite Ning Qiqi with his long legs, his legs folded together, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, his handsome facial features were like sinking water, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" "I wonder why my brother has changed." Facing Shang Mingjingxuan's smiling expression, Ning Qiqi laughed twice, bad, he thought too seriously, and said what was in his heart. "Do you remember what the master said?" Has he changed?
Looking at Ning Qiqi's clear eyes, Ming Jingshuo lowered his eyelids in embarrassment, no, he hasn't changed, this is the real him, the fun on the day of the competition was just because he was too relaxed and joyful, so he did something inconsistent with his identity, if grandpa saw him like that, he would probably knock him with a cane!
During this time, life in the mountains is too indisputable, falling asleep in the air full of Buddha incense every day, and opening your eyes in the buzzing morning class will make people unconsciously relax the tense nerves.
There is no intrigue here, no-for-tat confrontation between you and me, no dirty entanglement of interests, so he put down his mask without resistance and showed his truest self.
How long has it been since he smiled happily, it seems that after his parents cheated and divorced, and he was only willing to leave him with a decisive back, he was forced to give up his childhood and grow up according to his grandfather's expectations until he became an adult! "I'm sorry!" Apologetic words interrupted Ming Jingxuan's thoughts, raised his eyes to look at Ning Qiqi's apologetic eyes, Ming Jingshuo hooked his lips slightly, reached out and touched her loose hair, and said softly: "Don't be sorry, senior brother will always be your senior brother, and I won't be angry with you." “
Ning Qiqi raised his eyes to look at Ming Jingshuo when he heard this, seeing that his eyes were tolerant and the corners of his mouth were smiling, Ning Qiqi's heart relaxed, fortunately, the senior brother was not angry, and next time he couldn't be so open-mouthed.
Everyone has their own unknown side, and they can't unscrupulously spy on other people's ** because they have a good relationship and are close. "Senior brother, I have memorized everything the great monk said, should we go out?" I heard from the master that the senior brother will come over today, and there are still many big people coming, if she goes out too late, will she embarrass the master! "Worried?" Seeing Ning Qiqi nodded, Ming Jingxuan glanced at the crowd coming and going outside the window, with a soothing smile on his handsome face, and said loudly: "Today you are the protagonist, everyone has to put you first, no one dares to say that you are rude when you do anything, you know?" “
Lin Shoucheng's closed disciple, his senior sister of Ming Jingxuan, who dares to stand up and accuse a faux pas to see when they are vegetarians.
Ning Qiqi stared at Ming Jingshuo with wide eyes when she heard this, how did the senior brother know that she was worried that it would be rude to go out too late, and besides, she was not a big person, just a little orphan girl, why did those strangers take her seriously?
Is it because she has a master and a brother?
But the dead man said that a person has a foothold in the world, and he still has to rely on himself to rely on the mountains and water, and only when he stands up can he have a real foothold. "Jing Shuo, Xiao Qi, it's time, you guys hurry up, I'll go first." At this time, Gong Mingyong's voice came from outside the door, Ning Qiqi hurriedly stood up, hurriedly sorted out the clothes on his body, looked at Ming Jingxuan and said, "Senior brother, my clothes are not messy, right?" “
Why did the apprentice wear a skirt, it was still such a complicated skirt, in order to put this dress on, she was tired and sweaty.
Hearing this, Ming Jingshuo circled around Ning Qiqi, raised his hand to comb her hair, and said with an appreciative smile: "It's not messy, Xiaoqi is very beautiful today." “
Looking at himself in Ming Jingxuan's eyes, Ning Qiqi smiled and bent his eyebrows, and replied with a polite reply: "Senior brother is also very handsome today." ”
"Well, senior brother has always been very handsome, let's go." Ming Jingshuo hooked his lips and smiled, handed his arm to Ning Qiqi, and when he saw her holding his arm, the two looked at each other and smiled and walked towards the main hall.
When he came to the main hall, Ning Qiqi saw that there were people standing inside, all in suits and leather shoes, with extraordinary bearing, and the man in Tang costume sitting on the mahogany chair at the front was his master Lin Shoucheng.
Seeing Ning Qiqi walking in front of him in a Hanfu lotus step, Lin Shoucheng's eyes were full of joy, this beautiful little girl was his apprentice, his only closed disciple, and he could still receive a disciple who matched his heart when he was middle-aged, and he would be able to look at it after a hundred years.
"Arrive in time, salute."
Ning Qiqi knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Lin Shoucheng three times, the crisp "bang" sound echoed in the empty room, and everyone watching the ceremony stared at the girl kneeling on the ground with appreciation, the little girl was good, sincere.
After kowtowing, Ning Qiqi took the tea brought by Ming Jingxuan, held the tea in front of Lin Shoucheng with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master, please drink tea." ”
"Okay, master drink tea." Looking at the redness and swelling on Ning Qiqi's forehead, a touch of distress flashed in Lin Shoucheng's eyes, took a sip of the tea she handed over, put down the teacup and said: "When you enter my door, there are three ancestral precepts to keep in mind, first, you are not allowed to fight and win; second, it is forbidden to commit adultery, theft, and adultery; Third, don't let the rivers and lakes mess around, do you remember? ”
