026. Descend the mountain
"Master, Thirteen is going to die, come and save me."
Anwar held a large clay jar high above his head with both hands, wailing in the scorching sun.
Anwar frowned and gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, and he continued with the strength of breastfeeding: "Master, Thirteen has been raised for an hour, and if you lift it again, you may not be able to die, Thirteen is about to go down the mountain, why do you still abuse it like this?" ”
Cheng Zhiyou half-opened and half-closed his eyes, lying leisurely on the bench under the shade of the tree, blowing the cool breeze, shaking his fan and saying with a smile: "You have been here in Qingming Mountain for nine years, but your true qi is only level six, which is not as good as half a point before the master, and you should be punished." ”
"Master, none of the twelve senior brothers who have gone down the mountain are above level 5, and you have not been punished for any of them, and 6 out of 13 are already considered glorious, why are you still not satisfied?"
"Your senior brother is your senior brother, you are you, I want to punish you, don't shake your hands, shake and shake the clay pot and smash it, your master and I will let you raise another hour."
"Master, why are you so partial, you treat your brothers so well, but you always abuse Thirteen."
Anwar's whole body trembled, his face was flushed, Cheng Zhiyou pretended not to see it, propped his elbows on the wooden support of the bench and gently pinched his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Lift another quarter of an hour." ”
"Master, you are bullying children." Anwar was dissatisfied.
"Hahaha......."
Cheng Zhiyou laughed, shook the fan again, and said, "Thirteen, you are eighteen, almost all of your peers have become fathers, do you still think you are a child?" I think that when I was a teacher, there would be a woman who wanted to follow your master and me for a lifetime, if it wasn't for the teacher's refusal, I'm afraid that at your age, the child would be able to walk. ”
"Then why don't you marry her back?"
"If I get married, I will naturally have to take care of the family, and you can be so lucky to study with me for nine years?"
"I've been beaten every day for thirteen or nineteen years, and I'd rather not learn from you."
"Hahaha." Cheng Zhiyou smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "You kid, one day you will be grateful to me." ”
On the second day, at the time of Chen, the mountainside of Qingming Mountain.
Anwar, dressed in white and carrying a burden, walked to the lower mountain pass with his master Cheng Zhiyou.
"Thirteen, your appearance is a bit similar to the statue of An Zhan Shenjun Gongguan, but it is much inferior to An Zhan Shenjun, but you can also be regarded as one of the most beautiful men in Nanyue Country, if you can have a woman to follow you like your master did back then........
"I got the master, I was narcissistic to death, and I mentioned the matter of being proposed by a woman on her own initiative all day long."
"Your master and I haven't finished talking yet, do you dare to interrupt the teacher's speech because you see that you are going down the mountain and go home today, and the teacher can't control you?"
"Okay, Master, you say, Thirteen listen."
Cheng Zhiyou glanced at Anwar and said: "If you marry a good girl in the future, tell the master, and the master will congratulate you, you have studied with the master for nine years, and in these nine years, the master does treat you stricter than other apprentices, but the teacher is also painstaking." ”
Cheng Zhiyou took out a silver-gray token from his breast pocket and handed it to Anwar's hand.
Anwar was puzzled, "Master, what is this?" ”
"Thirteen, this is the Token of the President of the Trial Court."
"Master, then how did you hand him over to me? But who big guy do you want me to bring this token to? ”
Cheng Zhiyou squinted and smiled, "Master, this is for you." ”
Anwar took a breath and said, "Master, Thirteen didn't hear me right?" ”
"The Criminal Court is the largest authority in Nanyue Country, and it has been in decline since it left as a division, and now I will entrust you with the task of reviving the Criminal Court."
"Master, are you going to let me take up the position of president of the Criminal Court?"
"You have suffered too much in Qingming Mountain over the years, and your heart has been honed very well, although you are only at the sixth level, your true qi is not as good as that of the master, but among your descendants, you are also considered to be the best, now that you go down the mountain, you will return to Kyoto to serve as the head of the trial court."
Anwar couldn't figure out why the master was so good at letting him take the position of dean, was it just because he was the apprentice of the first master of Nanyue Kingdom and the former dean of the trial court?
Anwar frowned and said, "But Master, Thirteen doesn't want to be an official, you give it to me, it's better to give it to someone who wants to be an official." ”
Cheng Zhiyou glanced at Anwar and said coldly: "Who doesn't want to be the president of the trial court?" You have to have this talent first. ”
"Master, Thirteen doesn't like to step into officialdom, and I ask Master to take back the dean's token."
"Hahaha." Cheng Zhiyou laughed and said, "The teacher has already handed over the token to you, so there is no reason to take it back, and it is up to you whether you want to be the president of this trial court or not." ”
"What? I can't do it for me to be willing or not? Anwar was surprised.
Cheng Zhiyou said: "How many people fight for this position can not be competed for, you kid don't have to say more, a few days ago, the servants of Anshang Shufu came to report, today will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, now it is estimated that the carriage has arrived at the foot of the mountain, you hurry down the mountain." ”
The dean's token is in hand, but Anwar is reluctant to accept it, when his father and mother said that they would send themselves to learn livelihood skills to support themselves, but they came here and were beaten for nine years, Anwar said aggrievedly: Father and mother deceived me, and deceived me is not an ordinary bitterness.
"After being beaten for nine years, accepting the master's gift is naturally nothing, since the master wants to give it, Thirteen will accept it, but Thirteen really doesn't want to be an official."
"Let's go, go back." Cheng Zhiyoudao.
Anwar still remembers that when he first came to Qingming Mountain, he was shot by his master with a few arrows in the open and dark, and he was so frightened that he almost wanted to fly away, and then he was beaten by the collar and back to the mountain, almost killing himself.
"Master, there are only thirteen apprentices you have taken in Qingming Mountain, the senior brothers have come down the mountain one after another a few years ago, and now the last apprentice is gone, will you be lonely when you live here alone in the future?"
"I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I have a deep affection for Qingming Mountain, and every grass and tree here is like an old friend of the teacher, and I will naturally not feel lonely as a teacher."
"Then Master, will you go to Kyoto to see Thirteen?"
"Master will come to see you when he is free, so you can leave with confidence."
"Well, Master, then take care, Thirteen is gone." After saying that, Anwar turned around and walked down the mountain without looking back.
"Stinky boy, don't look back at Master when you leave." Cheng Zhiyou scolded secretly.
When he couldn't see Anwar's figure, Cheng Zhiyou also turned around and walked back.
