Chapter 12: Master and Apprentice

Who is this "madman" who suddenly appeared?

I looked at the grizzled man in front of me, his short cloth shirt was covered in mud, dirty and torn. The tiger head hat that looks like Zhou Xingxing's classmate in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is no longer funny because he grabbed it in his hand, but his face, red, green and green, is lively, which is more ridiculous and embarrassing than wearing a tiger head hat. Despite this, there was no sense of humility and despair on the man's body, although he was pointed by Yun Xun, he could neither move nor speak, and his face was swollen red, but he did not look like a reckless man who spoke falsely, and his crazy words in front of the general's mansion were obviously not nonsense.

I tried my best to hold back a laugh, looked at Yun Xun who brought him back, and said, "What's going on?" Who beat him like this? ”

The man glared at me, no anger in his eyes, just a little confused and puzzled. Yun Xun said: "Young lady, when I found him, he had already been beaten like this. The subordinates were afraid of complications, so they ordered his acupoint and brought it back to the house directly. ”

"Unravel his acupuncture holes." I bit my lip and took a breath, otherwise I would have laughed, "Please Mr. Fu come over and help him take care of the injury." ”

Yun Xun solved the man's acupoint and asked Xin'er to invite Mr. Fu. After the man was able to move his hands and feet, he rubbed his arms and looked at me wonderingly: "Who are you?" What did you bring me here for? ”

"Childe, please be seated." I made a gesture of invitation, sat on the soft couch, saw that he was a little suspicious, smiled, and said to Ning'er, "Go get some hot water, and then help this son prepare a set of clothes." ”

In a blink of an eye, he saw that the man was still standing, and said with a smile: "Childe, please sit, the family is rude, bring Childe here." You don't have to worry, the concubine is not malicious. The concubine's husband's surname is Yun, and her name is Ye Haihua. ”

When the man heard me say this, he stared at me a few times, but he also sat down calmly: "I know that you have no ill will towards me, you have an auspicious aura in you, and there is no such aura in bad people." ”

"Auspicious aura?" I smiled and said quietly, "Childe said that he was laughing, how can you see this?" ”

"I saw it at a glance, you have a light blue fluorescent protective body on your body, it's obvious." The man took the tea from Xiaohong and said casually. When he says these amazing words, it's as if you're saying that you're wearing a new dress today. Thinking about it, he said to Ping An that the evil aura of the General's Mansion was shrouded, and he also said it casually. Such unscrupulousness, is it naΓ―ve and reckless? Or is it an ulterior motive? Could it be that he could really see something evil? I looked at the man and smiled, "May I ask the name of Childe?" ”

"My name is Duan Zhiyi, when I first arrived in the capital, I didn't want to be robbed of the luggage by the thieves, and I was injured by the store without silver to pay for the inn food and lodging......" The man only opened his mouth to say a few words, and a strange sound sounded in his stomach, and his face suddenly turned red again. I saw his embarrassed face, and when I saw Xiaohong's smiling face, I said softly: "Xiaohong, bring the snack box over, and then ask the kitchen to bring some food." ”

Xiaohong brought the snack to the coffee table and exited the room. I looked at Duan Zhiyi and said kindly: "The concubine is not well greeted, son, please pad your stomach with dim sum first." ”

"You're welcome, then." Duan Zhiyi was really not polite, grabbed the heart and immediately sent it to his mouth, but it could be seen that this person was not vulgar, although he ate politely, he was not in a hurry or dry, and he was not half ugly. I saw that he was agile and thought that he had only suffered some fancy skin wounds, which were not serious.

I drank tea quietly and watched him eat, not in a hurry to ask. After a while, Mr. Fu came and helped him diagnose the injury, saying that he only had some skin trauma, and prescribed him some wound medicine and medicinal oil. I motioned for Mr. Fu to stay, but Mr. Fu was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask more. Then Ning'er sent hot water and clothes, and the kitchen meals were also delivered, and after that period of Zhiyi was full of wine and food, clean and changed clothes, he said: "Madame said that I have a meal today, Zhiyi has thanked me, Madame wants Zhiyi to do something, please instruct." ”

"Where is Duan Gongzi from?" I waved my hand and motioned for him to sit down, and let the guards and the maids withdraw, leaving only Mr. Fu, him, and me indoors, before I smiled and asked.

"Guanlu, Weishan." Duan Zhiyi looked at me and said calmly, "I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my master since I was a child. ”

Guanlu is the winding mountain range in the north of Tiancao country, the mountains are majestic, stretching and stacking obstacles, it is the natural barrier between Tiancao country and Chenxing country, legend Guanlu is the place where the immortals live in seclusion and cultivate the truth, there are all kinds of spiritual suspense legends, and Weishan is the most majestic main peak of the Guanlu mountain range, towering in the clouds, reaching the limit that cannot be seen by the naked eye, no one can climb to the peak for thousands of years, and is respected as the spiritual mountain by the people of Tiancao country. It is said that the mountain borders the sky, and the source of the huge and magnificent Maya Waterfall on the top of the mountain is the Milky Way, and the rushing water seems to pour down from the clouds, rushing down the cliff and rushing into the valley, stirring up the boundless and majestic white waves, and flowing into the Cangjiang River. To this continent, whether it is the Kingdom of Tiancao, the Kingdom of Yaoyue or the Kingdom of Chenxing, Weishan is an unconquerable god-like existence, worshiped and admired by all peoples.

I noticed that when Mr. Fu heard about Guanlu and Weishan, his expression was slightly surprised. Thinking about it again, since it is said that the Guanlu Mountain Range is a place where immortals practice, a person like Mr. Fu who knows some Maoshan magic is probably full of fascination there. I smiled and continued to ask him about his origin: "Is Childe also practicing in the mountains?" I don't know who the respected teacher is? ”

"What is practice? My master and I just lived in seclusion in the mountains, and my master called himself a Pingyao Sanren. Duan Zhiyi didn't know what she remembered, and frowned. When Mr. Fu heard this, he stood up in shock: "Pingyao scattered people? You said that your master is from Pingyao? ”

Seeing that Mr. Fu was so excited, I was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Fu knows Duan Gongzi's master?" ”

"If Fu can know the people of Pingyao, I don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!" Mr. Fu's eyes were blazing, "Pingyao Sanren is a master of Taoism, legend has it that he has practiced for a hundred years and has become an immortal, as long as he is willing, he can go to heaven at any time and rank in the immortal class." If a person who cultivates the truth gets his guidance, he can get twice the result with half the effort and benefit a lot, but unfortunately Pingyao is uncertain, and in the past few decades, no one has been able to look up to the immortal face. ”

So powerful? Earth immortals can also be regarded as immortals, right? My eyes lit up, and I wondered if I could help General Silence escape this catastrophe. But he heard Duan Zhiyi look at Mr. Fu in astonishment: "The Pingyao Sanren you said won't be the same person as my master, right?" ”

Mr. Fu was stunned: "What? ”

Duan Zhiyi touched his head embarrassedly, his face was a little strange: "My master is just a picky old man who soaks in the wine jar all day long, in addition to drinking and sleeping every day, he just forced me to go out to help him catch rabbits, catch fish, pick wild fruits, and change tricks to make them for him to eat, otherwise he will scold me for being stupid, saying that I have no ability, and I have been talking all day, except for that, I haven't seen him do anything, and he is definitely not the person he said." ”

"Huh?" Mr. Fu was dumbfounded, and I was also a little surprised. Mr. Fu stared at Duan Zhiyi deadly, his face was full of suspicion, and after a while, he read softly: "God does not leave the air, and the spirit does not leave the spirit." Breathe and neutralize. ”

Duan Zhiyi looked at him stunned and blurted out: "If you don't carry, don't be persistent." The will is clear, silent and always shining. ”

A smile appeared on Mr. Fu's face: "This formula, but your master taught you?" ”

Duan Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I saw it in Master's books, and Master never taught me this, but when he saw me reading these books, he didn't care about me, and if I didn't understand it, I took it to him and asked him, and he scolded me for being stupid, and he scolded me a lot, and I gradually understood it." ”

The smile on Mr. Fu's face deepened: "This is the first step of the most superior Heavenly Immortal cultivation mantra, you said that your master is not a person who cultivates the truth, how can there be these books?" Pingyao Sanren is a master in the world, and his actions cannot be judged by common sense, and he usually scolds you, but I am afraid that he is also urging you to practice. ”

I had a slight sense of abruptness, it seems that this Pingyao Sanren disciple is not teaching one by one, but doing some strange things with his surname, so that this apprentice doesn't even know that he and his master are both cultivators. Combined with Duan Zhiyi's "nonsense", I believe in this inference a little more. Looking at Duan Zhiyi again, he seemed to have a hint of understanding, and muttered: "I can't imagine that the picky old man is really so capable, isn't it bragging?" ”

"Picky old man?" I covered my mouth and smiled, "Is this what Duan Gongzi calls Venerable Master behind his back?" Childe seems to be very skeptical of the ability of the honored teacher. ”

"I didn't call him that behind my back, I called him that in front of him since I was a child, and the old man never called me by my name, he always called me a stupid boy." Duan Zhiyi looked at me and said frankly, "Since I was a child, I have heard the old man boast that he is a very famous and amazing person, if I don't serve him thoughtfully, he will scold me and say that under the mountain, no one doesn't know him, no one doesn't sell his account, as long as his name is mentioned, everyone eats and drinks as his uncle, and I, a stupid boy, dare to treat him slowly." Duan Xiuqi paused, didn't know what he remembered, and smiled slightly, "I've always laughed at him for bragging." ”

The way the master and apprentice get along is also interesting, judging from Duan Zhiyi's expression and tone, the relationship between his master and apprentice is actually quite deep. Mr. Fu probably saw it too, and said with a smile: "Pingyao Sanren is indeed respected, and the respected teacher is not in vain. ”

"Actually, I believe him." Duan Zhiyi smiled, "I was robbed and entangled before, and I had no money to pay the bill, thinking that the old man said these words, he said to the shopkeeper, I am the apprentice of Pingyao Sanren, but the person said, what the hell is Pingyao Sanren?" You are the emperor and you don't pay for it. ”

Belch? My eyes widened, God, this master and apprentice are really a pair of living treasures. This Zhiyi is really not familiar with the world, and it is interesting: "As a result, this body was injured? ”

"Well, that's fine, but I'm angry at his contemptuous tone of the old man, so I'm playing tricks on him." A smug smile appeared on Duan Zhiyi's face. I asked curiously, "What did you do?" ”

"I asked him to call Grandpa to every guest who came in." Duan Zhiyi grinned, ripped the wound at the corner of his lip, and took a breath. I couldn't help but laugh a little, and it seems that he also recited a mantra similar to the "casual care" of the Stygian Flame.

"Duan Gongzi, is Lingshi still in Weishan now?" I saw that Mr. Fu's face was also a little expectant, and I knew that he probably went with me, if I could find Pingyao Sanren, maybe Lonely Storm Cloud could be saved.

Duan Zhiyi nodded, and immediately shook his head again. I smiled and said, "What does Duan Gongzi mean by this, is he here or not?" How can I find your Master? ”

"Are you looking for my master?" Duan Zhiyi asked, seeing me nodding, he touched his head and said, "What are you looking for him?" The others are no longer in Weishan, and there is only his tomb on the mountain. ”

"What?" I was stunned and didn't react. Mr. Fu stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Tomb? ”

"Well, my master said three months ago that he was going to die, so he went to live in the tomb." Duan Zhiyi said, "It's still the tomb door I sealed for him with my own hands." ”

"Dead?" Shocked and suspicious, I turned my head to look at Mr. Fu. Didn't you say that Pingyao Sanren was an earth immortal? How could it be dead?

I know that it is very hard for everyone to wait for the article, but I am also really busy during this time, and I am very tired from working and studying every day, so please understand. As I said before, from April onwards, it will be every 2-3 days, so you don't have to come to the pit every day.

The mantra in the article is from "The Most Excellent Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Method", "Martial Soul" magazine, 2003, 4 issues, page 48.
