Chapter 10: Apprenticeship
In the blink of an eye, the day of the national teacher's acceptance of apprentices has arrived, and the people of the imperial capital have been guarding outside the gate in order to see the national teacher. There were many people outside the house, and the National Teacher's Mansion was blocked.
Shangguan Yuyao's arrival made everyone's expressions freeze, and after a while, they reacted, the man's eyes showed fanatical obsession, and the woman gritted her silver teeth and almost crushed her handkerchief.
Shangguan Yuyao smiled at the corner of her mouth, her glass eyes flowed with a light from time to time, her upturned nose, her pale pink lips, and her expression was calm. Wearing a dark green step, falling an agate, wearing a Yunfei lotus hookah skirt, covered with a layer of white yarn, and a simple skirt around the waist, walking, the skirt fluttering, like a blooming snow lotus.
Shangguan Yuyao was about to enter the door when she heard a coquettish voice behind her, "You stop for me." Turning to look at the visitor, a seven or eight-year-old girl, dressed indescribably expensive, with a lofty expression, coupled with disdainful eyes, inexplicably disliked.
When the people at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion saw the expression of the county lord of the Descending Immortals, they knew that she didn't know who was coming, and said to her in a low voice: "It's the queen's ninth princess, she is deeply favored by the emperor, and she acts arrogantly, you be careful." ”
"Aren't you just a little county lord, why should you be the apprentice of the national teacher. The ninth princess was so angry that she gritted her teeth and couldn't wait to go up and take a bite.
"I don't know, probably beautiful, kind-hearted, considerate and gentle, I didn't want to worship him as a teacher, but I have to be a national teacher, alas. Shangguan Yuyao was talking nonsense seriously, and as soon as her voice fell, everyone laughed.
When the ninth princess heard everyone's ridicule, her face was blood-red with anger, her whole body trembled, she pulled out the sword of the guard behind her, and stabbed it fiercely at Shangguan Yuyao in front of her. This change caught everyone off guard, and they didn't expect that the princess of a dignified country was so vicious that she would commit murder with a sword.
As if slowing down, Shangguan Yuyao seemed to be stupid, standing motionless, looking at the sword in front of him, suddenly a crisp fragrance came to his face, he was held around his waist, and his body flew backwards. She turned her head to look at the person beside her, with stars hidden in her eyes, upside-down eyebrows, straight nose, red lips, and bulging Adam's apple. A strange feeling suddenly welled up in my heart, and I couldn't explain it clearly.
"Ninth Princess, I will explain today's matter to your father, please go back. The national teacher let go of Shangguan Yuyao and looked at the Ninth Princess, his face was tense, his words were indifferent, and he seemed to have a trace of anger.
The ninth princess's eyes were like poison, she stared at Shangguan Yuyao angrily, threw down the sword in her hand, threw down the sentence You wait, pushed away the crowd and ran away crying.
Shangguan Yuyao and the national teacher entered the mansion side by side, leaving everyone with two dusty backs, and a strand of hair flew and entangled in the air.
The apprenticeship ceremony was held in the Lin Yuan of the National Teacher's Mansion, with a pond in the east, lotus flowers swaying gently in the wind, bursts of fragrance, and a flower field in the west, full of clusters of inconspicuous grasses, green leaves layer by layer, and small purple flowers dotted among them.
The national teacher walked in the octagonal pavilion and sat down elegantly, he was dressed in white, with a black string tied around his waist, and a white bead hanging under the string, his face was cold and indifferent, even when he saw Shangguan Yuyao standing in front of him and about to become his apprentice, his eyes were still indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
Shangguan Yuyao walked forward slowly, her glass-colored eyes stared at him for a moment, and she smiled, and finally understood why the ninth princess was jealous of herself, facing this handsome face every day, she should be in a wonderful mood.
"Master, please accept the disciple Shangguan Yuyao to bow down, thank the master for just saving the disciple outside the door, defending the disciple, please drink tea. She lifted her robe and knelt down, bowed her head, bowed her head and offered the teacup with both hands.
"This is the apprenticeship, the name is like the wind, you get up. He took the tea and handed her a bracelet, the chain emitted a silvery white light, and on it hung an ink-colored hammer, one end like a spire, and the other end square, I don't know what material it was.
Shangguan Yuyao hurriedly stood up, looking at the apprenticeship with a wrong eye, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"The mantra is, like the wind, like a green sass, to break through ten thousand laws with force. As soon as he finished speaking, the chain in his hand swelled as thick as an arm, the handle of the hammer was three feet long, and the head of the hammer was the size of a lotus leaf on the east side, which looked terrifying.
"You try. He placed the hammer lightly on the ground and tapped his jaw to gesture to her.
Shangguan Yuyao stepped forward excitedly, rubbed her fingers, held the chain, and recited the incantation softly, and sure enough, she returned to the appearance of the bracelet, put it in the palm of her hand, and recited a spell silently, and suddenly her hand was pressed and fell down, fortunately, a pair of cold hands took away the chain, otherwise this would be smashed, and only a lump of meat would be left.
Looking at the person in front of him with wide eyes, the distance between the two was very close, and their breathing was intertwined, Shangguan Yuyao patted his chest lightly, and said fearfully: "Master, this hammer is so heavy, I can't hold it." ”
Ling Anfeng recited the incantation lightly, loosened the chain buckle, motioned to Shangguan Yuyao to stretch out her wrist, personally put it on her wrist, and said lightly: "This is not an iron hammer, it is a stone hammer that I used to condense a mountain with cultivation, and the condensed stone hammer weighs a thousand catties, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the weight of the original mountain, but this is part of your homework." ”
Shangguan Yuyao's mind had been seized by the cultivation of two words, and he didn't hear Ling Anfeng's words at all, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked eagerly:
"Master, do you mean cultivating spiritual power like the other four countries?"
Ling Anfeng looked down at her hands, he could feel that her palms were a little calloused, and his slender white jade fingers said disapprovingly, "It's almost, it's just that I can also use spiritual power in Dayan Kingdom, but my cultivation has not advanced an inch a thousand years ago, and only your help can solve the dilemma." ”
"A thousand years, Master respects you...... Master, how can I help you?" she hurriedly changed the topic, but she was very stunned in her heart, and made up her mind to help him first, and then let him guide her own cultivation, which would be more dedicated.
"Now that your cultivation is still weak, I will teach you your cultivation with all my heart, and you will have the ability to help the teacher in the future, can you agree to be a teacher?" Ling Anfeng's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Shangguan Yuyao was immersed in joy, and hurriedly patted her chest and promised that she would do her best.
"Swear with me, come, put your hands on my palms, and say together, if I have the ability to help the Master in the future, I will not shirk for any reason, and if I break my oath, I will not be able to love. A white magic circle rose from the soles of the two of them, slowly enveloping the two of them, and finally disappeared.
Shangguan Yuyao only felt that there was a bit of a fuss, his reputation had always been good, and why did he break his oath because he couldn't do it, he just felt that Shizun's thoughts couldn't be guessed, so he shook his head, didn't dwell on these, just asked curiously:
"Master, what was that just now?"
"It's an oath curse, and breaking the oath will turn against the oath-taker. A dark light flashed in Ling Anfeng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked and immediately put it down, as if he was delusional.
"Start cultivating tomorrow, today you go back to pick up your luggage first, it's easy to simplify and go complicated. After speaking, Ling Anfeng turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
