Chapter 7: The Ladder
"Zero seniors! I... I am back. ”
Zero stood in front of the door of Gongling Hall and looked alone, looking forward to Ke'er's return, this was the first day, and he couldn't sit still.
Ke'er saw that Zero was waiting for her, and just ran over happily, but panicked when she thought of the various kinds of money mentioned by the master.
"What's wrong? Walk in a panic. Is that kid Li Guapi bullying you? ”
"No, the master is very good, it's just ......"
"What's it? If he really bullies you, I'll peel him off and let him keep a melon! ”
"The master didn't bully me, but the master said ......"
Ke'er talked about all aspects of Guapi mentioning that he wanted to get money.
"That's all the master mentioned, Senior Zero, do you have any money? I want to borrow it from you. ”
With a black face, the tolerance for melon peels has risen to a higher level.
"You don't need to borrow it, you take this to your master tomorrow, and he will understand." Zero took out a black chip and gave it to Kerr.
"What is this?"
"This belongs to the Cloud Palace, just give it to that kid, he will understand."
"The money?"
"It's fine."
Ke'er carefully put away the chip and returned to her small bamboo house. With a little effort, he ran to the north courtyard of the academy.
If there is a difference in quality among cloud apprentices, then the master is the banner flaunted by apprentices. In the master space of the North Courtyard, each master is practicing and meditating in his own position......
"It is worthy of a famous teacher to produce a high apprentice, these masters are not comparable to others."
Observing the master of the North Courtyard while walking, he saw that he was so eager to break into these spaces, and he stepped forward to ask for advice one by one. There were only fifty masters in the north courtyard, and soon Zero walked half of the corridor, and Zero took out a piece of paper, on which were the names of the masters he had written down, and checked them one by one.
Town~ The space door of a certain master was gently knocked and opened, Du Fu poked out from inside the door, but what he saw was a feathered old man smiling at himself outside the door.
"Hall Zero Master?" This appearance is only the hall master of the Gongling Palace, Du Fu asked suspiciously, "I don't know why the hall master of the zero hall is looking for it?" ”
Zero smiled and squinted, he had something to ask for, looked around, and entered Du Fu's space.
"Master Du Fu, I'm not here for anything else, I just want to ask you for something!" Zero leaned down and pleaded.
"What is this doing, Hall Zero Master! Please sit down first, you can't be embarrassed when you enter the door, please sit down, you can talk about something slow. ”
Du Fu hurriedly asked Zero to sit down, and the lord of the cloud palace actually bent down to beg him, which was amazing, but it aroused Du Fu's curiosity. "Hall Zero Master, what do you ask for? I, Du Fu, would like to hear the details. ”
Zero pretended to ask for a good observation of Du Fu, thinking: This young master is not in a hurry to do things, he is young and a daughter, but he is an excellent candidate for Master Keer...... "Master Du Fu, I will make a request, and listen to the old man first." "Today is the first day of the master disciple of the Academy, and presumably the disciples that Master Du Fu has accepted for the Cloud Palace are also very good. I have a person here who wants you to accept her as a disciple, I don't know if it's okay? ”
"Huh?" I thought it was a big deal, but I wanted to take in an apprentice! Du Fu thought for a while and said: "The matter of accepting apprentices is a list, the day of accepting apprentices in the Cloud Palace has passed, and if you want to accept apprentices, it is good to wait for another year, but the hall master was also present to witness the acceptance of apprentices, why not recommend it a few days ago?" ”
Du Fu asked about the point, Zero sighed, and said slowly: "The day of accepting apprentices is the arrangement of the palace master, and it is impossible to wait for another year." I chose the wrong master! Now I want to change a master for her, there are more than 300 masters in this Cloud Palace, I am looking for Master Du Fu, you have to help the old man and me. ”
Du Fujiao'......s face instantly understood, and he responded to Zero and said: "This worship of the wrong master happens every year, I understand the meaning of the hall master, and it is not difficult to change the master in the Cloud Palace, but..."
Du Fu has a domineering atmosphere between the lines, and he has long known that all the masters of the North Courtyard have the conditions to accept apprentices, and some of them have big tempers, so they don't pay attention to them at all, like the top ten on the list of famous teachers, they are all from the older generation, and their tempers are bigger than their own!
"Don't worry about this Master Du Fu, I think she has that qualification!"
"Oh?" Du Fu was even more puzzled, if he met his own conditions, he could still consider it!
Seeing that Du Fu was still puzzled, Zero spoke directly, "As long as Master Du Fu agrees, I owe a great favor as the master of Gongling Palace!" ”
"Ahh Du Fu's originally puzzled face instantly turned into a surprised face, favor, the favor of the hall master! What does that mean?
Du Fu replied without hesitation: "Since the hall master's people meet my conditions, then I can bring people over as soon as possible, and the other hall master's favor ......."
Zero knows that he has done a favor as the master of his hall, so he must pay it back! And Du Fu obviously didn't let go of this favor.
"Master Du, don't worry, there will be a master from the Southern Courtyard coming tomorrow morning, and you can accept apprentices at that time. As for the favor, I owe it, as long as the master tells the old man, I will do my best to ask for anything! ”
"It seems that the Zero Hall Lord has also negotiated, I'll wait."
"Well, thank you Master Du Fu. I have a way to do this, and you can explain it like this when the time comes......"
Zero said goodbye and left, he changed his master for Ke'er, and the next step was to get through the relationship with the palace master, after all, there was a sword immortal entrustment at the beginning.
After Du Fu sent Ling away, he also left the North Courtyard, returned to his own house, and immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to fly back to Du's house!
The next day, Ke'er took Zhu'er out of Gongling Palace, and walked briskly with the chip given yesterday in her arms. Along the way, there were more people who came forward to talk to them, the so-called wolf has more meat and less meat, and the cloud palace does not stipulate that the cloud disciples cannot fall in love with each other, as long as they can catch it, how to do it all depends on their ability. Ke'er still doesn't pay attention to the person who comes up to talk to her, and takes care of herself.
"It's sunny today, the master must be waiting for me, I have to hurry up."
The door of the space of the town ~ plum melon peel opened, and Ke'er's heart blossomed, and her hand covered her cherry-red face. Li Guapi is busy with his own business.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"Winemaking."
"Are you going to teach me?"
"This ...... Can it be taught, too? Well, yes, teach this, this is the strength of the teacher, and others can't compare! ”
The melon peel kept adjusting the rice grain to the wine barrel, took out some wine cakes and put them evenly on the rice grains, covered them with clean white gauze, and then covered them with a thick wooden board lid, and surrounded the bottom of the wine barrel with limestone, and made a fire at the bottom.
"There is a way to make this wine, the master is called rice wine, buy some white rice from Rakshasa Town, as long as you use the general method of making wine, you can also make this white rice wine." The melon skin chair leaned against the stool, and the black eyes were shining, and no one in the Xu Yun Palace knew more about wine than himself! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, just as this stupid apprentice said, she could teach her how to make wine, not only could she fulfill her responsibilities as a master, but she could also have someone to send wine to herself without interruption, saving her a lot of trouble......
"Xiao Ke, come here!"
Guapi shouted, and Ke'er immediately stepped forward. "Master, please?"
"The brewmaster will teach you well, but what I told you about yesterday about money?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, master!"
Ke'er took out a chip from his arms and handed it to Guapi with joy, "This is what one of my seniors asked me to hand over to you, this chip is an important thing in the Cloud Palace?" Better than money? ”
The melon peel was bitter in an instant when he held the chip, what is this? And how can it be better than money? This is an envoy that can only be used by the hall master, which is equivalent to an order!
Alas~ Guapi sighed to himself, this chip must be recognized, but I didn't expect to take a piece of the film, which is a warning to myself, indicating that the hall master behind the film knows that he is famous, just a warning.
"You don't have to pay this money anymore, it's all right. Go back and give it back to its master. ”
Kerr smiled and took the chip from Guapi's hand. "The money is all right, so next, is the master going to teach me how to make wine?"
"No...... The chip just now has the order of the hall master, you go to a place with me. ”
At the same time as Guapi took the envoy piece, an order Xun Xin passed to his mind through the chip: Xun took people to the north courtyard of the academy, looked for Master Du Fu, and handed Lin Keer over to Du Fu to teach! Afterwards, he came to the Gongling Hall alone to find me. The order of the Lord of the Gong Ling Palace. "It turned out to be an order from the Lord of Gongling Palace, to change the ......"
"Let's go, the master will lead you out and take you on a day trip to the North Courtyard."
"Huh?"
Ke'er is still in a state of confusion, one second to make wine, the next second to go out? Before she could come back to her senses, Guapi pulled her out of the space with a handful of them.
The north courtyard gate to the south courtyard gate is relative, not long after, the two have arrived at the north courtyard gate, Guapi looked at the name and quickly found Du Fu's space door.
"Although I don't want to see this person, I don't dare to disobey the order of a hall master."
Town~ Du Fu's space door knocked lightly, and a gorgeous figure walked out of it.
"You?!"
When Du Fu went out and saw that it was a melon peel, his anger immediately came up, "You are not dead!" ”
"Miss Todufu's blessing, I took over a heavy responsibility, but fortunately, my melon skin life is longer than others, and I have come back."
"Hmph, one waste can complete the task, it's the Cloud Palace that sees you pitiful and leaves you this waste!"
Du Fu scolded one waste at a time, and the melon skin was not afraid at all, the word waste had long been indiscriminately heard, and it was no longer painful. On the contrary, Ke'er on the side was puzzled anymore, did his master have anything to do with the female master in front of him? After hearing Du Fu scolding the master for being a waste, his face was inexplicable, the master of a sword and a master would be a waste? Non-existent! Ke'er felt a little uncomfortable, how could this person scold the master?
"Okay, we still don't interfere with the river water, each step back, I came today to obey the order, otherwise, who cares about you."
"You..."
"I brought the people, you can do it!"
Guapi ignored Du Fu's words, and threw his apprentice at the door and was about to leave, when suddenly Ke'er grabbed him with one hand.
"Master, where are you going? Are you going to leave me behind? ”
Du Fu also stepped forward and grabbed Ke'er's wrist with one hand, and the three of them were deadlocked.
"Since you are the person of the hall master, I have promised the hall lord that as long as you pass my conditions, you will be my disciple! I am your future master! ”
"No, my master is him, not you!"
Ke'er shouted, "My master is only Master Li Bai!" ”
This shout made the four apprentices in Du Fu's space startled, in fact, not only the apprentices, but even the masters Du Fu and Li Guapi were also suspicious.
"Li Bai? No one dares to use this name in today's world, is it really a sword immortal? Du Fu's apprentice exploded, and it would be terrible if this girl of the same age outside the door was really Li Bai's disciple.
Du Fu was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at Li Guapi, "Just him?" Hehe! The taunts were even louder.
Guapi turned around and tried to break Ke'er's hand, but he couldn't shake it off.
"You let go, this is not up to me, this is the order of the hall master! And I'm not Li Bai, and I don't know any sword immortals. ”
Ke'er tugged at the sleeve of the melon skin coat and said persistently: "No! You are the one who saved me, I haven't reported you yet, I don't! ”
My little ancestor...... Guapi was speechless, but Du Fu let go of his hand.
"No wonder the hall master said that you worshiped the wrong teacher, it turned out to be this reason, no wonder the hall master came to me!"
Du Fu turned around and closed the door, and explained to Ke'er outside the door: "Don't worry, he is still your master, but I am also your master." For seven days, he only teaches you two days, and for the remaining five days, you can only come to me. ”
"Huh?" Guapi was frightened, he dared to love himself or he still had to be a disciple, but fortunately, he could just teach a little in two days...... "Look at what Miss Du Fu has said, I don't want you, today and the next day, it was Miss Du Fu who taught you, and I came to let you get acquainted with it." ”
Ke'er let go of her sleeves, looked at the melon skin suspiciously, and then looked at Du Fu in contrast, and her body unconsciously went to the side of the melon skin.
The head thief of the melon skin was shrewd, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Go over, this is the rule of the Cloud Palace, if you violate the rules, the master will be uncomfortable." ”
Du Fu is also smart, and she stepped on the steps given by Guapi in one step. "Come on, don't embarrass your master."
The two of them, who were half-pushed and half-done, walked up to Du Fu like a little lamb and saluted respectfully, "Master Du Fu is good." He turned to look at the melon peel reluctantly, "Goodbye, master melon peel..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guapi left at a fast speed, "My Guapi is one step closer to the surname Du, I am a donkey!" ”
Guapi's sight was gone, and Ke'er turned around and followed Du Fu into the door.
"You want to become my apprentice, but there are conditions, I only accept you as an outer disciple now, and I want to become a real disciple...... There is a hundred-step cloud ladder set by the first generation of Cloud Palace Palace Palace Masters, and the Cloud Disciple List that will start in three days will begin, as long as you can go up to more than thirty steps of the Cloud Ladder, you will become my true disciple! ”
