Chapter 673 [Two Possibilities]
In the small courtyard in front of the Taixue study, Bai Yutang was sitting at the stone table and drinking tea. www.
On a Bodhi tree not far away, there was a twisted trunk that grew upwards like a twisted flower, shaking its beautiful tail, and looking at a bird's nest above with wide eyes, a pair of unnamed birds were flying around feeding the birds in the nest.
In Taixue, Bai Xia is giving a lecture to the students.
Although Bai Xia does not test for fame, he is also a great talent, funny, and good-looking. The students of Taixue listened to his lecture on spices with relish, and the girls from Lanhui Academy next door also came to listen to the lecture through the window.
Bai Yutang was drinking tea at the gate of the courtyard, and when he looked inside, he saw the group of students in the study looking at his father with admiration.
The fifth master shook his head helplessly, his father was the same as his master, and when he didn't commit two crimes, he could bluff people.
The fifth master was resting, and he saw a head poking out on the other side of the stone table.
Bai Yutang stared at the head for a while, and the owner of the head came out...... It's that little chubby dun, Liu Nan.
Liu Nan climbed onto the stool and sat down, looking at Bai Yutang with wide eyes.
This child is really fat, with a double-layered chin and a round round, but he is very cute, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, big eyes, clear eyes, and innocent nature.
Bai Yutang held his chin in one hand and held the teacup in the other, looking at the little fat dun full of happiness in front of him.
After Liu Nan climbed on the stool, he reached for the teacup, but his hand was short and out of reach.
Bai Yutang took the teacup and poured him a cup of tea and put it in front of his eyes.
Liu Nan took a sip of the teacup, put it down, and said, "I want to ask you something." ”
Bai Yutang nodded and motioned for him to ask.
"When I grow up, will I become a boring charlatan?" Xiao Fatun asked a question, but Bai Yutang was stunned.
The fifth master looked at the worried little guy in front of him and asked, "Do you think the people in the rivers and lakes are boring?" ”
Xiao Chubby Dun held his chin with both hands, "Many Jianghu people have learned kung fu for a long time, but they still can't beat others." There are not many people who can steal the first place in the world, so what are you going to do after learning kung fu? ”
Bai Yutang looked at Liu Nan and said, "I seem to have asked my master this question when I was a child. ”
Liu Nan was surprised, "Do you have this kind of trouble?" ”
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Am I like this?" ”
Liu Nan looked at the sky and muttered, "You are like you, you look like you, you belong to the group that can compete for the first place in the world, and I can't squeeze into the first row like me." ”
Bai Yutang smiled, "I was indeed a little different from you when I was a child. ”
Liu Nan raised his eyebrows - sure enough.
Bai Yutang said, "You learned kung fu in the Damen Sect, and I learned kung fu by hiding in the mountains alone with my master. ”
Liu Nan tilted his head, and then hey?
"So no one ever told me that I wanted to be the first or second in the world since I was a child." Bai Yutang said.
Liu Nan held his chin with both hands, "Your master is originally the best in the world." ”
"My master's kung fu is similar to that of Yin Hou and Die for a long time." Bai Yutang said, "Back then, he became the number one in the world in a daze, because Yin Hou and Master Wusha played a prank and tricked him into going to the martial arts competition." ”
Little Fat Dun nodded, "I often hear my senior brother talk about this, this is how it is in this world, is it destined to be said one day?" ”
Bai Yutang looked at the child in front of him with no teeth, "You know a lot, you don't think about the destiny before you are ten years old, isn't it early?" ”
"What can I do so that I can be useful in the future and not be so boring?" Little Fat Dun pouted, "I don't want to be like my former sect brothers, always talking about other people's things, should I also worship a master and hide to learn kung fu?" ”
Bai Yutang looked at the troubled child in front of him.
"You asked Tianzun back then, how did he answer you?" Liu Nan asked curiously, "Since he is the best in the world, he must be very demanding, right?" ”
Bai Yutang said, "I asked my master what the most important thing to do when he grew up. ”
"Uh-huh!" Chubby nodded and listened carefully.
Bai Yutang said, "He said that there are three most important things. ”
Little Chubby Dun didn't blink his eyes, "Three pieces, ......"
"The first is self-reliance." Bai Yutang held his chin and said, "The second is to be filial to your parents, and the third is to find someone you like to grow old, if you can make a few more intimate friends, it will be perfect." ”
Liu Nan blinked, staring at Bai Yutang, for a long time, he pouted, "Are you insincere?!" ”
Bai Yutang was helpless, "That's what he said." ”
"It's the same as my mother said?" Liu Nan was dissatisfied, "How can the requirements of the world's first pair of apprentices be the same as my mother?" ”
"It doesn't matter how many people you have in the world." Bai Yutang said indifferently, "You have to be a person first. ”
Liu Nan frowned, looking confused.
"Many of the world's best lifelong wishes are the above three." Bai Yutang said, "If you learn kung fu with such a heart, you won't be bored." ”
Little Fat Dun looked at Bai Yutang, "Then who am I going to choose as my master?" ”
"Don't you want to join the Tianshan Sect?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Who from the Tianshan Sect is my master?" Liu Nan was curious.
Bai Yutang sighed, "When the time comes, pick each other, the one who can convince you is your master." ”
"I'm convinced......"
"The one that convinces you in every way." Bai Yutang put down the teacup and reached out to pat Liu Nan's head, "I have only one master since I was a child, Zhanzhao has more than three hundred masters since I was a child, Zhao Pu's master secretly taught him kung fu, and Master Wusha let Lin Yehuo learn Buddhism every day...... It can be seen that it doesn't matter who you learn martial arts from, and it doesn't matter how you learn it. ”
"Won't you be taught badly?" Liu Nan was worried.
Bai Yutang nodded, "In addition to finding someone who convinces you, you also have to find someone who hurts you." ”
"What kind of master is the master who loves me?" Liu Nan couldn't figure it out.
"Who loves you the most in the world?" Bai Yutang asked.
"My mother."
"So, the one who says the same thing to your mother to you hurts you." Bai Yutang smiled at the little chubby dun with wide-eyed eyes, "As for whether it will be boring in the future, it depends on what you want to do in the future, it doesn't matter whether you run to the rivers and lakes or join the army or go home to farm after learning kung fu." Find what you want to do, and you won't be bored. ”
Xiao Chubby Dun stared at Bai Yutang for a long time with a pair of round eyes, and finally squinted and smiled, climbed off the stool, and ran to the study...... As soon as I ran to the gate of the courtyard, I seemed to remember something and ran back.
Bai Yutang saw him running to his side and stretched out his hand to himself, so he subconsciously took it...... There was a black round thing in his hand, the size of a soybean, which looked like a seed.
"What is this?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
"Immortal seeds." Liu Nan replied, "The seed of the immortal tree." ”
"Isn't the Immortal Tree a legend?" Bai Yutang was helpless.
"Who said that! I took it out of the fruit I plucked from an immortal tree, and I dried it in a bag, and this is a thank you gift. With that, he jumped and ran.
Bai Yutang took the tree seed and shone it in the sun, and said, "Why don't you plant it in your yard?" ”
After speaking, he looked in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing behind the courtyard gate, Zhanzhao poked his head out and smiled at him.
Bai Yutang hooked his finger at him, "Standing at the door for so long and not coming in......"
Zhan Zhao walked in, sat down beside him, and reached out to hook his neck, "Don't you bother teaching children." ”
Bai Yutang saw that Zhanzhao was in a good mood and asked, "Found a clue?" ”
Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, dragged the stool to Bai Yutang's side, and continued to put his arm on the shoulder of his mouse, "Ask you something!" ”
Bai Yutang couldn't look at him with tears and laughter, how could this beginning be the same as the little chubby dun just now?
"Do you know the dryads?" Zhan Zhaoshen asked mysteriously.
Bai Yutang frowned, "How old is the tree?" ”
Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang for a long time, and reached out to pinch his face, "Sure enough, it's a domestic mouse, ...... with the cat."
Bai Yutang pinched his wrist and took his paw away, and asked, "What tree spirit?" ”
"To put it simply, someone died tragically under the kapok tree, and the unjust soul did not disperse and possessed the kapok tree, and whenever the kapok opened, the unjust soul turned into a tree spirit and came out to take revenge!" After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he didn't forget to add, "It is said that all trees that bloom blood-colored flowers have tree spirits!" ”
Bai Yutang sighed and asked, "Did you enter the palace and bump into some goddess?" ”
Zhan Zhao looks to the sky.
Zhan Zhao picked up Bai Yutang's cup and took a sip of tea, and continued, "If you don't believe in the tree spirit becoming a essence, then there are only two possibilities for the appearance of kapok petals!" ”
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao and waited for him to elaborate.
"First, carelessly!" Zhan Zhao stretched out two fingers, "The second kind, it's not accidental!" ”
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was hooking his shoulders and talking nonsense speechlessly, "You can cite the third situation besides to take a look?" ”
Zhanzhao blinked and stretched out his third finger, "It's not careless, it's not careless." ”
Bai Yutang raised his forehead, "What do you want to say, cat?" It's not as easy to understand as meow called."
Zhan Zhao dragged his chin with one hand and poked Bai Yutang's neck, "It means that either the old lady is from Gaohe Village, or she will find someone from Gaohe Village." ”
Bai Yutang pondered for a moment and said, "It's from Gaohe Village, which means that he accidentally brought out the kapok petals in the courtyard." The person who wanted to find Gaohezhai said that he was not careless, but deliberately threw the kapok on the muddy ground. ”
Zhan Zhao nodded, nodded and looked at Bai Yutang with a smile.
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "You didn't have anything before you entered the palace, and you looked in a good mood when you entered the palace, there should be anything else to discover, right?" ”
"I went to the palace this time and figured out a truth!" Zhan Zhao shook his fingers slightly, "The truth of kapok petals also applies to invitations!" ”
Bai Yutang paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "Oh...... What you mean is that the invitation can be someone snatching Bian Qing's hand, or Bian Qing snatching someone else's. ”
Zhan Zhao touched Bai Yutang's chin with his hand, "Clever!" ”
Bai Yutang took down his hand that was touching everywhere and said, "Why don't you check it out from the people you know?" It can't be some kind of rotten peach blossom, right? ”
"The latter sentence can be omitted!" Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "By the way, why hasn't Taixue finished class yet?" It's time to eat at noon! ”
……
At this time, at the back gate of the courtyard, a group of Taixue students were standing there, and Bai Xia, who was blocking the door in front, was waving to them and asking them not to make noise.
Gongsun hugged the little fourth son and looked at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu spread his hands, and Bai Xia blocked the door and didn't let him go from the yard.
Lin Yehuo shook his head and looked at Zhanzhao and Baiyutang in the courtyard.
Pang Yu asked, "I can't eat yet, I'm starving!" ”
Bai Xia raised his index finger to everyone, "Shhh Don't get in the way of my son's relationship...... No, it's about the case! ”
