389. How to be a good heavenly master.
"Heavenly Master?"
The child's grandfather looked at Siyuan in gorgeous clothes with strange eyes, and the doubts in his eyes could be said to be overflowing, because there are only a few people who can be called heavenly masters in this era, each of them is a white-bearded Taoist who is more than one Jiazi, where is there such a tender heavenly master, this is not a liar, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
But if you insist that he is a liar, the large amount of silver tickets is lying quietly on the table. Although they are honest countrymen, they are definitely not stupid, I am afraid that this young man is not a heavenly master at all, but a little young master who came out of a big family to find excitement, and he came to this place because he was lost.
Of course, people gave such a big ticket, even if he was not a heavenly master, he was the boss, so this face must be given enough, and the old man had some other ideas.
"Heavenly Master drinks tea." The child happily held a cup of turbid coarse tea and put it in front of Siyuan: "This is the tea baked by my grandfather, it's fragrant." ”
"Oh? Is it? Then I'll have to taste it. Siyuan is already a father man, and he is naturally very gentle with this kind of sensible and well-behaved child: "I'll try it." ”
"Hey! Egg raw! The old man frowned and reprimanded: "How can you give people this coarse tea, don't you still have a few taels of jasmine tea at home, hurry up and take it out." ”
Siyuan waved his hand again and again: "No need, it's good." Jasmine tea is on my side...... Don't mention it. ”
He didn't say it explicitly, but in fact, the low-grade tea of jasmine tea is worth twenty yuan a pound over there, but this wild coarse tea is priceless most of the time, so being able to drink coarse tea is actually an alternative enjoyment.
"By the way, I want to ask, where is this?" Siyuan was a little embarrassed: "I don't know the place of life." ”
This time. The old man was even more sure that Siyuan was a young master who ran away from home without rhyme, and as for why he ended up in this poor country, he naturally wouldn't ask.
"This is the boundary of Qiongzhou Prefecture."
"Qiongzhou ......" Siyuan patted his head: "Isn't that in Hainan?" But you don't look like ......."
"It's not like the natives, is it?" The old man sighed softly: "It's a long story, so I won't go into details." ”
After he finished speaking, he touched Dansheng's head: "Dansheng, go and slaughter the roe deer we beat yesterday." Wait for this ...... Well, the Celestial Master cooks a meal of meat to eat. ”
"Good Ratcha!"
Dansheng responded crisply, took out an axe about the height of the others from behind the door, and jumped out happily. Seeing this scene, Siyuan blinked his eyes: "Isn't it, you...... You let a seven- or eight-year-old do this? ”
"Listening to your accent, it looks like someone from the capital." The old man was a little wary, and looked at Siyuan vigilantly: "Dare to ask the company, who is the name?" ”
"Qi, Qi Siyuan." Siyuan smiled and reported his name: "If you knew me, I would eat this table." ”
"Qi? Thirteen years ago. There is a big leather merchant surnamed Qi in the capital, are you the son of that family? ”
The old man said this with two meanings, one is to explore Siyuan's details, and the other is to tell him euphemistically, "Don't pretend to be a little forceful, your acting skills will also deceive eight or nine-year-old dolls, Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat, you fucking want to fool me, in the next life." Return to the Heavenly Master? God you are paralyzed".
Of course, Siyuan naturally heard this meaning. He just waved his hand: "If I'm not mistaken, the egg should be ...... to give birth to this child"
Halfway through his words, he looked up at the old man in front of him: "Tell me, what is his identity." ”
With a "poof", a cold long knife was already on Siyuan's neck, which was unexpected. This old man is actually still a practitioner, judging from the method he used to draw a knife and dodge with one hand just now, this guy can't keep up what kind of work is a secret agent in the Ouchi, after all, this is how it is played in novels and TV.
And now, Siyuan finally believed Luo Shi's words. It's really a imaginary world, otherwise there could be no such coincidence.
"Ding"
With a crisp explosion, the embroidered spring knife in the old man's hand crackled into pieces of iron and fell to the ground, and Siyuan just flicked it lightly with his fingers.
"With this kind of weapon, even if I want to be cut by you, you can't hurt me." Siyuan didn't brag, he still looked calm: "I'm really a passerby, no matter how much I look at it, I'm a passerby." ”
"You're not the Chen family's eagle dog?"
"The Chen family?" Siyuan shook his head embarrassedly: "I don't know how to tell you, anyway, this body is probably the son of the Chen dog thief in your mouth, but my surname is Qi, Qi Siyuan." He is the permanent chairman of the castle tower and the head of the East China Special Task Force, and I am only here to find someone. ”
The old man didn't understand a lot of words in the back, but the first sentence made his face change suddenly, judging from Siyuan's demeanor and the ability just now, if he wanted to kill himself and Shui Sheng, he probably wouldn't have to make much effort, just like crushing an ant.
"Resurrection of a corpse? Are you really a Celestial Master? ”
"Aha." Siyuan suddenly smiled: "What do you say...... I don't know what your concept of a celestial master is. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then explained to Siyuan with questions in his eyes. At this time, Siyuan knew what the concept of the so-called Heavenly Master was, to put it bluntly, it was just some capable guys, because this world was mixed with demons, so the role of the Heavenly Master was to suppress the monsters. And as a celestial master, most of them are high-powered old guys, even including Siyuan's father, who was a protector of the country back then, and his ability was probably one of the best in the heavenly master world, and after his fame, reputation and connections accumulated to a certain extent, he simply put the emperor under house arrest and became a regent himself.
As for this old man, he is also open and honest, he used to be a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and Dansheng was originally the youngest son of Lord Wang, the commander of Jinyiwei. When Chen Laogou was purged, he wiped out the seventy-two people in the Wang's house overnight, if it weren't for the old man's spirit holding the child and hiding in the gap in the rockery of the pond, I'm afraid that even this single seedling would not have been left.
And after that, he disguised himself and begged all the way away from home, and walked thousands of miles to this barren land.
"Before Dansheng, he said that there were monsters in the town, and all the people were eaten?"
"Alas!" The old man sullenly drank the tea in his bowl. Slammed the table hard: "This year, the day is not safe." There are Tatars outside, traitors inside, and the people are already struggling to make a living, but in recent years, there have been frequent demon disasters, and it seems that the sky is going to kill me in China. ”
"Oh." Siyuan touched his chin: "Then why haven't you met a monster here?" Didn't you say that this place is full of monsters? ”
After listening to this, the old man looked around. Then quietly pushed the table away. Pulling open a layer of baffle on the ground, there is actually a cellar underneath: "Monsters search for people with smells, and I will cover the smell with mugwort leaves boiling water every evening." I slept in the cellar with Dansheng, and as long as there was no light on the fire, and the sound was insulated with grass and wood ash, it would be fine. ”
Siyuan nodded: "It's a good way." ”
At this time, Siyuan understood. The world he is in now is probably equivalent to the time of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, but because this is an alternate world. So the emperor on the throne is the soft egg Zhu Yunwen, and there is more of a monster setting than the history he is familiar with. It's probably an oriental fantasy world, but as a monster, you have to eat people...... This setting is too low-grade, it's just the setting of a novel from decades ago.
Of course, since there are monsters, there are naturally people who expel monsters, and the title of these people is Heavenly Master. It is divided into senior celestial masters, intermediate celestial masters, junior celestial masters, and celestial master assistants, anyway, it sounds like assistant engineers, senior carpenters, and the like.
Let's be honest. Siyuan really didn't take the heavenly masters of this world into account. After all, the opponent determines the ability, and this place is full of monsters that grab people and eat. One can imagine how powerful those Heavenly Masters can be. You must know that before Siyuan came to find the little mountain god, he was dealing with monsters, monsters. The monster who can open a company, participate in politics, and engage in scientific research, I don't know how high the level is higher than the little monster here, but he can still talk and laugh with those guys. So, the heavenly master here, the monster. It's just too young, too simple.
"If you don't mind, I'll spend the night with you today." Siyuan took a sip of tea: "Anyway, I am not familiar with life, and trying to find someone is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
The old man glanced Siyuan up and down. didn't say much, just drank tea with a sullen head, knowing that Dan Sheng walked in with a pot of meat: "Grandpa, I've marinated the meat, how can we eat it?" ”
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat." The old man's eyes rolled: "Come here, worship the heavenly master!" ”
Siyuan and Dansheng were stunned, and Dansheng was really a smart child, without saying a word, he put the basin aside, and knelt down for Siyuan with a poof, bang, bang, ”
Siyuan reacted at this time, turned his head and nodded at the old man with his hand and gave him a thumbs up. But he didn't refuse Dansheng, just waved his hand: "Get up and tell me what you want to learn." ”
"I want to learn the Tao well, subdue demons and eliminate demons, cleanse the world, and be a man who stands up to the sky like my grandfather!"
Siyuan shook his head and patted his head: "I may not be here for too long, so I can't teach you personally." ”
As soon as they heard this, the faces of the old man and Dansheng darkened. But then Siyuan's next sentence rekindled their hope: "However, I can't let you kowtow in vain, you choose one of these two books." ”
Siyuan put his hand into his arms in makeup, and used two magic cards to conjure up two books: "One is the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture, and the other is the three thousand spells." ”
"Yes...... Master, is there any difference between these two books? ”
"It's no different, it's the same." Siyuan shook his head: "But this Yellow Emperor's internal scripture can allow you to cure diseases and save people, but the three thousand spells can quickly subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”
"That ......"
Siyuan could see that he was very interested in both books, but although he was smart, his qualifications were really average, so eating two books at the same time would burn his brain. However, according to the standards of the world here, these two books are super heavenly books for them, and they don't need to finish learning any of them, they are definitely able to walk sideways here.
"That'...... Then I choose this medical book, grandpa often said that practicing medicine in troubled times is to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, which is more useful than subduing demons and eliminating demons, and he often treats the hunters in the surrounding villages to heal their injuries. Dansheng glanced at the old man, but found that the old man was watching his nose, nose, and heart on the side, and he didn't worry about his affairs at all, which made Dansheng not know how to choose for a while. But in the end, he still felt that being a doctor was more in line with his taste: "Then Master, I'll choose this one." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture. But the moment he took it, the whole book turned into green smoke, and after sparing him three times, it was gone. And the egg was born after being stunned for a moment. He sat on the ground, his eyes flickering.
"Heavenly Master...... He! ”
"It's fine." Siyuan smiled: "It'll be fine in a while, I'll cook." What materials do you have here? ”
After probing a circle of Dansheng, he found that he really didn't have any big problems, so the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Siyuan respectfully: "How can I let you cook by yourself." ”
"You're welcome, old man." Siyuan stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "You actually don't know, cooking is one of the biggest hobbies in my life. But I'm so busy over there that I don't even have time to cook for my wife and children, let alone cook for myself. ”
"Immortal...... Also marry and have children? ”
"Haha, when did I say I was an immortal?" Siyuan glanced back at him with a smile, bent down and picked up the meat on the ground and walked to the stove outside.
Siyuan's craftsmanship, that's really nothing. It can be said that his cooking level is definitely stronger than his level of catching monsters, you can imagine how strong his cooking ability is, all his friends no matter what kind of taste people are. There's no dislike of his cooking. It's just that when I'm over there, it's so busy. Even if he has to live by eating fast food box lunches most of the time, let alone cooking to entertain friends, I'm afraid that even taking the time to treat himself is a luxury, and finally come to a place where he can be lazy, and if he doesn't cook a meal, it's really a little sorry for himself.
Wait until his meal is done. Looking at the angle of the sun, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. In a few hours the sunny woodland hut would be a different scene, which made the old man a little nervous, for he had already begun to boil mugwort water to mask the smell at this time, but today it was not. Instead, there was an extra table of fragrant meals.
I have to say that Siyuan's craftsmanship is much stronger than that of this old man with a knife, where can Dansheng still take care of the etiquette of the dinner table, although he was glared at by his grandfather, he still ignored it and grabbed it directly.
"Eat slowly, there's quite a few." Siyuan touched his head with a smile: "Don't stare at him, a child of his age over there has to be fed for some meals, he can go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and fungus by himself and help you kill deer, be content." ”
"I just want him to hone and hone more, I'm already forty-seven, and I don't have a few years to live."
"Forty-seven......" Siyuan was suddenly choked: "Don't you say that I thought you were almost seventy......
Really, this old man has gray hair, his back is bent, and he looks like an old man, who looks like a forty-seven-year-old man, and his father is almost sixty years old, and he looks at least twenty years younger than him.
But after thinking about it, it is not easy to survive in such a place with such an environment and such pressure, and it is too normal to look old.
"Fifty know the destiny of heaven, I have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven."
Siyuan didn't answer, just looked at the green hills outside, and sighed faintly.
Time passed quickly, after explaining to Dansheng what a car is and what an airplane is, and explaining the book of heaven that has been recorded in Dansheng's mind, the sky has also become gloomy, the sun has disappeared, only the bleak azure is still slightly white, the morning star has also been brightened, and the crescent moon is hanging in the air, miserable and white.
"Master, it's getting dark. Let's go to the cellar and rest. Dansheng looked at Siyuan worriedly: "There are monsters at night." ”
"You know, I'm actually a demon too." Siyuan smiled slightly: "And it's a big monster." ”
"Haha, Master, you're making fun of the apprentice." Dansheng shook his head in disbelief, and then he grimaced at Siyuan: "Monsters are all green-faced and fanged, full of stench, eating people without spitting out bones and copper skin and iron bones." ”
Siyuan was very amused by his humble appearance, and after laughing for a while: "You go to rest with grandpa, I'll help you keep a vigil today, okay?" ”
"But...... But Master. ”
"Don't you believe me?"
"How so!" Dansheng patted his chest: "I watched you float down from the sky like a leaf!" That's a fairy trick. ”
"That's fine."
Both the grandfather and grandson were stubborn, so as long as they listened to him, they hid in the cellar. And Siyuan is not alone, he didn't expect this old man to have a lot of books here, and the things of the Ming Dynasty are actually very vernacular, and there is no obstacle to reading, but it seems to be a little different from the process he is familiar with, and what he is holding in his hand now is actually a copyed version of Journey to the West!
"Good ...... It would be so memorable if I could take it back. He suddenly laughed and said to himself, "You're right." ”
"Yes, yes, but if you don't go to Xiaoyu, what are you doing here." Luo Shi's voice was a little dissatisfied: "I've always been connected to your mind. ”
"Okay, I'm measured." Siyuan took a sip of the coarse tea that was already cold: "By the way, I want you to help me do something." ”
"Say."
"Write down everything I do here, and I'll use it when I write my memoirs in the future."
"......" Luo Fu was silent for a while: "You don't have a fever, right?" ”
"No, it's not like a dream, it's real, it's real...... It's so real. ”
"Okay, okay, listen to you this time." (To be continued......)
