Chapter 7: Master with a Black Belly
The theft of the hundred-year-old radish in charge of the family spread faster than the speed of light, and it quickly caused a stir in Maoshan.
The most unwilling person is still Zijue, who clearly doesn't even know the taste of radish, but he still has to help the white rabbit who carried the radish carry the black pot.
Zi Jue stood in the center of the hall with her head buried, looking even more wronged than Dou E.
Standing next to him were the master and the other uncles, as well as the head of the man who had stolen the turnips.
"You're the one who plucked my turnips?"
Tang asked angrily shaking the folding fan.
"No...... I didn't do it alone...... Be...... A white rabbit pulled it out with me. ”
Zi Jue replied to him in a low voice.
"Streamer, since he is your disciple, how do you think you will punish him?"
Tang was so angry that his face was indifferent, the fan in his hand was fanning faster and faster, and he looked at the streamer next to him and asked.
"Zi Jue stole radishes and violated the rules of Maoshan and should be severely punished to set an example. Every day, you must go down the mountain to extract spring water at the foot of the mountain to water the vegetation of Maoshan until the expiration of one month. ”
Streamer said.
After listening to the punishment mentioned by the master, Zi Jue's face instantly became choked and ugly, in fact, the person who should be punished the most is the master!
It was he who told the white rabbit that there was a hundred-year-old carrot outside the hall of Uncle Tang, and it was also the master who asked him to go to the gate of the hall to guard the big rabbit, and now the master bit himself again, and punished himself in an orderly manner.
Aside from anything else, just from the punishment point of view, the master actually let her go up and down Maoshan Mountain to carry water every day, but she has a personal experience, that day and Sister Lin climbed Maoshan to apprentice, and it took a whole day to climb up.
Maoshan Mountain, the lofty mountain is majestic, twists and turns, the mountain is dangerous and rocky, the road is rugged, just a person has to climb to make a lot of effort, let alone carry the water again, if a full bucket of water is carried from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, it will be shaken and sprinkled to not a few drops.
Generally, Maoshan disciples rarely go to the foot of the mountain to carry water, unless it is to honor their master before they go down to carry water to make tea and make wine for their master, but everyone has practiced, and they generally fly down and fly up.
Streamer looked at Zi Jue's embarrassed appearance and smiled, "Are you still satisfied with this punishment for you?" ”
Zi Jue bit her lip, looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, and muttered, "It's obviously Master, you......"
"Oh? Do you still have any comments on being a teacher? ”
"No, there is no opinion, the disciple is willing to accept the punishment of the master."
Zi Jue hurriedly shook his head and replied, obviously it was instigated by you, Master, Zi Jue choked up for a long time and didn't say it, and he didn't have the courage to say it, if he had an unpleasant quarrel with Master, anyway, he would have been his apprentice for a long time, wouldn't he kill himself?
"Follow me, I've got something for you."
The streamer said to her, picked up the sword and walked out of the hall.
What the?
Master actually wants to give himself something!
Could it be some kind of Shang Fang sword or something?
Or something that can fly yourself, so you can fly down the mountain to carry water.
Zi Jue thought to herself, happily keeping up with her master's pace.
Streamer took her to the Lingxiao Palace, pointed to the two iron buckets on the ground, and said, "In the future, you will use these two iron buckets to carry water." ”
What, what?
Lifting and carrying water in an iron bucket?
She stared at the two iron buckets made of extra thick iron sheets on the ground with wide eyes and incredulous, and her heart was broken, Master is really black-hearted!
Let yourself climb the mountain and go down the mountain every day to carry water, not to mention, but also let yourself use an iron bucket to carry it.
Master dares to ask us if we were wronged in our last life?
Zi Jue took a deep breath and walked to the iron bucket step by step, "Hehe"
With great effort, he lifted the two heavy iron buckets, and shook them away.
By the time she carried the bucket to the house, she was sweating profusely and collapsed.
If you fill this iron bucket with water in the future and lift it up and down every day, the picture will be too cruel to imagine...... "Zijue, I heard that you plucked the carrot of the master, what's the matter with you?" ”
Chu Qinglin looked at her who came in with two iron buckets, and hurriedly went up and asked.
"Sister Lin, you don't know how wronged I am, today when I was looking for Master's Lingxiao Palace, I met a big white rabbit on the road and ......"
Zi Jue put the iron bucket on the ground, wiped the dense sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and told the whole process of what happened today, and spit on her black-bellied master while talking.
After hearing what happened to her, Chu Qinglin instead of sympathizing with her, instead taught her, "Actually, this doesn't necessarily blame your master for being too ruthless, he is also well-intentioned in this trick." Just like my old flask master, he told me to go down the mountain to buy him wine when I had time in the future, and he said that it was a way to train me. ”
"Ahh But Master also asked me to use these two heavy buckets to carry water. ”
Zi Jue blinked at the two iron buckets, they were like her nightmares.
Chu Qinglin smiled slyly, "I have a way!" ”
Then he put his mouth to Zi Jue's ear and whispered, "Why don't you just find a place in this Maoshan Mountain to carry the water to the errand." ”
After listening to Sister Lin's opinion, Zi Jue jumped up excitedly, "Sister Lin is so smart, but let Master find out if I will die miserably......"
"Stupid Zijue, wouldn't it be all right if you found the right time to mention it without being discovered by him? Well...... Otherwise, you should not waste your master's hard work, and honestly go to the foot of the mountain to carry water. ”
"Uh......"
Sister Lin's idea is not bad, and she is so entangled, so she can only do this.
If you really go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water honestly, then you will be exhausted to death.
In the days to come, Zi Jue would get up earlier than the sun every day, and then use all her strength to lift the two iron buckets that the master gave her to carry water, and she didn't go to Maoshan to lift it stupidly, but just ran to the place where there was well water in the mountain and casually made two buckets and then carefully carried the water back to the yard to water the flowers.
I didn't get noticed by the master and others for a few days in a row, and then I grew more and more fat, so I just found a random well in the yard and brought water out directly.
As the saying goes: if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?
On this day, she finally got her shoes wet.
In the past few days, the master has also taken care of some problems, so he followed Zijue and witnessed the whole process of carrying the iron bucket to the well in the yard to get water.
"Is it interesting for you to get water here? Didn't you go down the mountain to fetch water? I took the words of the teacher as a deaf ear, right? ”
Streamer walked out with a stern face and said angrily.
"Division...... Master...... How did you...... Come...... Here it ......."
Zi Jue's hands shook in fright by Master's sudden appearance, and the bucket slipped down, splashing her wet.
"If I don't come, how can I see what you are doing, since you don't want to go to the foot of Maoshan Mountain to get water in person, then well, you don't have to go in the future."
"Really? Master, are you telling the truth? Do you really not let the disciples go to the foot of the mountain to carry water? Master is so good! Long live Master! Ahaha! ”
Zi Jue danced happily, the master finally got gracious, it turned out that the master was really a good person, great, the master could finally understand his pain.
I'm so happy, so happy, I want to rush up and hug Master.
"Allowing you not to go to the bottom of Maoshan to get water does not mean that the punishment for you will be canceled. Maoshan uses a lot of ways to punish disciples, and going down the mountain to carry water is only one of them, since that is too difficult for you, it is better to change it for you for the teacher. ”
"Huh? Speaking of which, the disciple still has to be punished, but the disciple is more willing to retreat than let the disciple use such a heavy bucket to carry water down the mountain. Master, please talk about other punishments! As long as you don't let the disciple carry water, hehe. ”
Streamer paused, raised his hand and pointed at the end of Maoshan Mountain, "Look, is there a pagoda there?" ”
Zi Jue looked in the direction of his finger, there was indeed a pagoda half-covered by the shade of the trees, the tower looked a little lifeless, the difference was that it was still a good sunny day here, but the other side of the tower was covered with dark clouds, especially the black fog on the top of the tower was full of mist, and everywhere was filled with dead air like an abandoned ghost house.
Zi Jue's eyes lit up, probably guessing what the master's punishment was for her, "Did the master let the disciple sweep the pagoda?" ”
Streamer shook his head and said, "This tower is the Demon Town Tower of Maoshan, and it is the place where the various factions of Maoshan jointly seal the monsters. A total of 9,999 demons were sealed in this tower, of which 7,200 were sealed with various small demons, 2,000 were evil spirits, and 799 were unjust ghosts. The internal structure of this tower is divided into three layers, the first layer is used to hold monsters, the second layer is used to hold evil spirits, and the third layer is used to seal evil spirits. The first and second floors are guarded by one or two disciples respectively, and there are also disciples guarding outside the tower, but no Maoshan disciple has dared to guard the place where the demons are sealed on the third layer so far. ”
Zi Jue was taken aback, presumably this third layer must be very terrifying, after listening to the master's introduction, he felt that the urine was going to be dropped.
What is the purpose of Master's introduction of so much?
Looking at the stern look on her master's face, Zi Jue always felt that an ominous premonition was about to happen.
"The teacher wants you to guard the third layer."
Streamer looked at her solemnly.
What, what?
Master wants to let himself guard the third layer, which is the third layer that Master said is dedicated to sealing demons!
?
And it's still the third layer that no Maoshan disciple dares to guard?
!
!
She kept rubbing her ears, maybe she didn't clean the earwax and heard it wrong!
How could Master let a disciple who has no ability to guard the most terrifying place, Master must have been angry just now, so now he deliberately said this to intimidate himself, "Master, don't joke with your disciple...... The disciple has been timid since he was a child, hehe, master, don't be angry with the disciple, the disciple knows that he is wrong, and the disciple will immediately follow your instructions to personally use these two iron buckets to carry water at the foot of Maoshan Mountain. ”
"It's hard to chase the horse when you speak for the teacher, since you don't need to carry the water, you don't have to mention it, and now the teacher will replace the punishment with letting you go to the demon tower to guard the third layer."
Streamer said very seriously and solemnly, without the slightest hint of joking and intimidating expression on his face.
"Master...... The disciple really knew that he was wrong, the disciple was willing to be punished to go to the foot of Maoshan Mountain to carry water for a month, no, no, one month was not enough to punish the disciple, two months, the disciple was willing to carry water for two months...... Please, Master, don't let your disciple go to that third layer. ”
Zi Jue cried with a handful of snot and tears, it seemed that the master really didn't joke with her.
Yes!
I'm afraid there is no return!
I'm afraid that my life will be gone!
"You bring this sword with you, which can be used for self-defense when necessary. Go down and prepare, you can go to the tower early tomorrow morning to guard, it will be a month, you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, the streamer handed her the blue saber that could guide the way at her waist, without giving her any chance to plead, and when she left, she looked at the tears and dropped a sentence: "My apprentice who is flowing can only bleed and cannot shed tears!" ”
"Master......"
Looking at the tall back of the master, Zi Jue hugged the sword and cried.
But he walked away without looking back, until his back disappeared from her sight.
