Chapter 5 Apprenticeship
"It's dry, watch out for the candles!" In the dead of night on the streets of Butterfly Lane, the elderly husband broke the silence with his shabby gongs and hoarse voice.
Xiao Ruixue muttered softly and subconsciously changed her sleeping position, but after a while, her eyes opened and she turned her head to look out the window. It was still dark outside the window, but Xiao Ruixue vaguely remembered that she had just made a change, and she said to herself: "This should be too ugly, right?" Suddenly, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
After quietly cleaning herself, Xiao Ruixue tiptoed to the outhouse. Yun'er is still in the iconic finger-sucking sleep, but this time there are more quilts that have been kicked to the ground, and the late night in spring is a little cold, and Yun'er, who is indulging in food dreams, can't help but "chirp" a few times. Xiao Ruixue pursed her lips and smiled, gently picked up the quilt and re-covered it for Yun'er, and then she gently opened a crack in the door, came out against the crack in the door, and finally gently closed the crack in the door without leaving a trace. Yun'er, who had put the quilt back on, subconsciously wrinkled her nose, and finally didn't sneeze again, her small mouth pursed slightly, and the food dream had gradually entered the climax.
The dawn is still far away, under the reflection of the faint light, the ancient temple in the Jiming Temple is full of shadows, showing the eerie horror.
Xiao Ruixue stood under the locust tree where she met the middle-aged Taoist priest yesterday, and she couldn't even see a ghost when she looked left and right, so she had to suppress her voice and shout softly: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief!" But there was not even an echo.
Xiao Ruixue's brows furrowed slightly, and she said in her heart: "The time has passed, this Taoist priest will not keep the contract, right?" ”
After standing on another pillar of incense, there was still no trace of the middle-aged Taoist priest, Xiao Ruixue was a little angry, she punched the old locust tree angrily, and shook the leaves of the old locust tree: "Damn, I was scolded by that stinky Taoist priest!" ”
"Hahahaha!" A familiar laugh suddenly came from overhead, and a shadow flew down and stood in front of Xiao Ruixue, with a bit of humor in the laughter: "Little lady, you have to restrain your temper, otherwise no Lang Jun will dare to marry you in the future!" ”
Xiao Ruixue was even more angry: "It turns out that you have been on the tree all the time, deliberately tricking me, right?" ”
In the faint light, the middle-aged Taoist priest shook off the dust and said with a smile: "Definitely! I came before you, and the reason why I am so much is to test your sincerity and patience! Well, you are very good, you actually insisted on a pillar of incense kung fu, and you are recognized as an apprentice as a teacher! ”
Xiao Ruixue's eyes widened: "Wait, you only said yesterday that I would come to you to ask you for the method of cracking, but you didn't mention that I should worship you as a teacher!" ”
The Taoist priest laughed: "Maybe I was negligent!" But my martial arts are not passed on, if you don't worship me as a teacher, why should I teach you how to crack it? ”
Xiao Ruixue was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "It's not impossible for me to worship you as a teacher, but you have to show the ability to convince me, just with that sneaky skill on the beam!" ”
"Isn't it enough for me to be able to point out your problem?"
"Not enough, and I'm still a little skeptical of your rhetoric yesterday!"
"What are you doing here?"
"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't!"
The Taoist priest was also speechless for a long time, and finally he smiled helplessly: "I haven't lost anyone in words, and today I have served you, this little lady!" Since you asked me to show my true skills, I will answer you, if you can get a piece of my clothes in any move, even if I am not good at martial arts, I am not worthy of accepting you as an apprentice at all! ”
"Oh, interesting!" Xiao Ruixue sneered, but before she could finish speaking, a sudden flash punch rushed in, hitting the Taoist priest's face.
The Taoist priest's pupils shrank, and his body immediately retreated backwards like a kite, Xiao Ruixue's punch completely hit the air, but the Taoist priest was already standing a few steps away, and smiled slightly: "Yes, I actually know how to be surprised!" But this punch is probably the best chance you'll ever have! ”
I don't know how long it has been, the sky in the east is a little white, Xiao Ruixue's clothes have been soaked with sweat, and her little face is even more red with qi and blood, and she hasn't been able to touch the Taoist priest at all, but she is still reluctant and said, "Are you interesting?" Back and forth, just such a trick turtle road, and you still want me to worship you as a teacher? ”
The Taoist priest was also a little out of breath, and his expression was very unhappy: "Little lady, you are unreasonable!" We agreed like this before, it's your problem that you can't touch the corners of my clothes! Besides, you're boring enough, although I said that it was any move, but it's been an hour, and you've made hundreds of moves back and forth, why don't you give up? ”
Xiao Ruixue gritted her teeth and said: "If you only know these martial arts of defending instead of attacking, I don't want to learn it, what I want to learn is the martial arts that can replace defense with offense and charge into battle!" ”
The Taoist priest was surprised and said, "What do you want to learn?" ”
Xiao Ruixue's tone became soft: "You don't have to worry about this, if you can't teach me, you can't be my master!" ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "Okay, then you are worried!" "It's too late, it's fast, his fist wind rushed towards Xiao Ruixue like a tsunami, and hit Xiao Ruixue's abdomen firmly, Xiao Ruixue couldn't avoid it at all!
"Cough, cough, cough-" Xiao Ruixue's whole body was arched on the ground, her little face was also attached to the dust, and she coughed violently while holding her stomach.
The Taoist priest flicked his sleeve and smiled slightly: "It'll be fine after a while, my punch is retracted!" ”
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Ruixue got up from the ground, she straightened up, gently patted the dust on her face, and although her expression was still slightly painful, she never snorted. Finally, she turned her face to the middle-aged Taoist priest and knelt on the ground respectfully: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”
