Chapter 108: Grandma Sun Talks About Sadness{7}
At this moment, Grandma Sun only had remorse, self-blame, and guilt in her heart, and when she thought about it, her tears flowed out like a flood bursting the embankment.
As an outsider, Fang Dacheng seems to understand Granny Sun very well.
He understood Grandma Sun's mood at the moment, and couldn't help but speak comfortingly: "Don't be sad, little girl, as the so-called fate is unpredictable, it's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself so much, because everyone has a fixed number for everyone, which no one can change." β
Holding Granny Sun's little hand, Fang Dacheng took her all the way and walked slowly: "You don't have to give me an answer right now about apprenticeship, just follow me back to the Tsing Yi Sect and think about it slowly." β
"Hmm."
The lonely Grandma Sun wiped a handful of tears, let Fang Dacheng pull her, and walked slowly towards the outside of the village.
The two walked for nearly half a month before finally coming to the Tsing Yi Sect General Altar.
After arriving there, Fang Daguo settled Grandma Sun in a relatively secluded place according to the previous agreement.
Granny Sun thought that she could finally practice Taoism here with peace of mind, but who knew that Fang Dacheng's junior brother Shi Tiangang had a lot of complaints about Grandma Sun.
He heard that Granny Sun was not good, and she also had a grudge against the man in black, so he immediately began to dissuade Fang Dacheng from letting Granny Sun leave this place of cultivation as soon as possible.
And his reason was that he was afraid that Grandma Sun would teach Tsing Yi in the future and cause unnecessary trouble.
Fang Dacheng disagreed with Shi Tiangang's point of view, saying that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, even if there was any trouble, he, the head of the house, would bear it with all his might, and would never drive Grandma Sun out of the Tsing Yi Sect.
Shi Tiangang saw that Fang Dacheng was resolute, and he was somewhat resentful in his heart, so he turned his head and left with a gloomy face.
The disheartened Grandma Sun knew that what Shi Tiangang said was the truth, so in order not to implicate the Tsing Yi Sect, she took advantage of the night to prepare to secretly go down the mountain.
But Granny Sun never expected that she had just come to the foot of the mountain, but suddenly found Fang Dacheng standing opposite her with her head held high.
Fang Dacheng seemed to have expected Grandma Sun to sneak down the mountain, he slowly came to Grandma Sun, and said in a flat tone: "As long as you are worthy of your heart, how can you be afraid of those gossips, only the weak will be afraid of rumors, do you admit that you are a weak person?" β
"This..."
Granny Sun's eyes flashed with a confident light, and her face was replaced with an unconvinced expression.
But it didn't last long, and soon she lowered her head and fell silent again.
It's not that she acquiesced to the fact that she was a weakling, but after calming down, she had already figured out Fang Dacheng's intent to provoke.
Obviously, after figuring out Fang Dacheng's thoughts, the reason why Granny Sun still refused to speak, there was only one reason left.
And this reason is also the most important point, that is, Granny Sun doesn't want to cause Fang Dacheng to have a conflict with his junior brother because of her arrival.
Maybe it's because she's not old and thin-skinned, but the more she thinks about it, the more guilty Granny Sun feels, so she doesn't want to talk.
The stubborn grandmother Sun was stunned in place like an elm pimple, but unexpectedly, Fang Dacheng grabbed her arms coldly, forcibly carried her on his shoulders, and sent her back to her original residence.
Fang Dacheng clapped his palms, "Rest assured to practice here, as long as I am still in charge for a day, I will not let you wander around." β
As soon as the words fell, he turned to leave.
Hearing this, Grandma Sun couldn't help but be grateful to him in her heart, and couldn't help but thank him with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, he remembered that Fang Dacheng had said that he wanted to take her as an apprentice, and he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" β
Fang Dacheng quickly stopped her, saying that he was not busy apprenticeship now, and if he wanted to apprentice, he would have to wait for an auspicious day.
Grandma Sun didn't understand the reason, so she nodded yes.
A few days later.
According to the previous agreement, Fang Dacheng chose an auspicious day to accept Granny Sun, an outer disciple.
On the day of the apprenticeship, Grandma Sun personally cooked and put the cooked meals on the table one by one, ran to summon the master, and then stood aside in a proper manner.
She wanted to wait for the master to move the chopsticks first before she followed her to eat.
Fang Dacheng didn't care about these clichΓ©s and etiquette, and beckoned Granny Sun to sit down and eat together, but Granny Sun didn't agree.
Seeing that Granny Sun was so resolute, Fang Dacheng could only laugh and take the lead in eating.
After eating, Grandma Sun respectfully brought a cup of hot water to the master, and said with a slightly hurried face: "Master, that... When will I be able to learn some powerful spells? β
Fang Dacheng took a cup of hot water and blew it lightly for a while, first took a small sip, and then smiled faintly: "You are still illiterate, how can you read and understand those complicated books?" Not to mention learning those Taoist techniques. β
Putting the cup back on the table, he spoke again: "Your top priority now is to know more common words before you can learn the Dao, you know?" β
"Oh."
Granny Sun nodded, feeling that what the master said was reasonable, but she quickly lowered her head again, looking sullen: "Uncle said that I am an ominous person, and I am afraid that it will bring unnecessary disasters to our sect in the future, so I want to learn the Tao as soon as possible, and then leave the sect quickly." β
Fang Dacheng was stunned, he didn't expect this child to be young, but his heart was so heavy.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up.
Granny Sun is a sensitive person, even if the master didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart, knowing that these days, I'm afraid that Uncle Shi Tiangang must have said some bad things about her in front of the master.
Since this meeting, Master has taken more care of her, and usually comes over to teach her some simple words and write some basic charms whenever he has time.
In the days when Grandma Sun came to Tsing Yi to teach, she thought that the master would teach her some powerful Taoist skills, but who knew that in addition to teaching her literacy and drawing talismans, the master only let her do some chores such as chopping wood, carrying water, washing clothes, and cooking rice every day.
Grandma Sun was born in the countryside since she was a child, so these dirty jobs are tiring, but they can't be difficult for her.
But after a long time, she felt a little lonely, thinking that her sister and brother-in-law still didn't know whether to live or die, so she was even more tormented and irritable.
Sunny afternoon.
Grandma Sun sat on a small stool with empty eyes, scrubbing the clothes in the small wooden basin back and forth, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey! I can't even talk about the level of Taoism now, and I really don't know when I will be able to go down the mountain to save my sister. β
Tilting her head to look at the big sun in the sky, Granny Sun stretched out her hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and muttered to herself: "It seems that I still have to ask Master, it's really not a way to go on like this." β
With an idea in her heart, Granny Sun didn't care that the clothes had not been washed, so she got up and shuttled quickly through the dense forest, and went straight to the master's residence.
After finding the master in a hurry, Grandma Sun found that he was meditating and practicing.
There was no way, in order not to disturb the master, Granny Sun had to sit in the corner on the side and wait quietly for him to get up.
I finally waited for the master to open his eyes, but before Grandma Sun could speak, the master scolded her first: "You didn't stay in your residence, why did you come to me, you must know that you can't practice the Tao if you are lazy." β
Grandma Sun pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask Master straight to the point, when will she be able to teach her some powerful Taoist techniques.
The master habitually stroked the long hair under her chin, saying that her top priority now is to strengthen her body and recognize words, and as for those powerful Taoist skills, they will definitely be taught to her in the future, so she should not be in a hurry.
He also said that instead of doing anything good, he was in danger of going mad.
Granny Sun was not frustrated by Master's statement, and thought to herself: Anyway, things have finally taken a turn for the better.
As long as you do the simple things at the moment, I am afraid that the cultivation of stronger Dao techniques will come naturally.
So after going back that day, Grandma Sun worked harder to do those chores and worked harder to learn to write.
Day after day, year after year, Grandma Sun finally got her wish to practice more powerful techniques, and during this time, she also took the time to practice the hidden Taoism on the half of the Maoshan secret art fragment left by her grandfather.
Seeing that Grandma Sun's Taoism was becoming more and more profound, and gradually had the level of Master's strength of forty percent, something happened that caught her off guard.
It was this seemingly inconspicuous incident that caused her to be forced to leave the Tsing Yi Sect and no longer be able to stay with her master to practice Taoism.
The incident that made Grandma Sun feel aggrieved and heartbroken is roughly as follows.
At the beginning of this year, I don't know how the crops in the fields suddenly decreased a lot.
Due to the extremely poor crop harvest, there was a serious shortage of food, which was a relative reduction in food rations for each person in the Tsing Yi sect, which had a large number of people.
When the food was not enough, some people began to discuss it in private, and this little sign happened to be caught by Shi Tiangang, and he took the opportunity to incite everyone's dissatisfaction, saying that natural disasters like this were caused by the demon girl Grandma Sun.
also said that if the sect wants to live in peace in the future, it must drive this demon girl down the mountain, otherwise everyone will have to be unlucky with her.
Some people think this is nonsense, what can a natural disaster have to do with an ordinary girl's family.
But some people are just jealous that Grandma Sun is favored by the head of the house, so they agree with Shi Tiangang's statement and support Grandma Sun being driven down the mountain.
There are also some people who don't bother to figure out the truth of the matter at all, just because they usually have a good relationship with Shi Tiangang, so they agree with his statement without dispute.
In this way, there are neutrals, supporters, and oppositionists within the sect.
As soon as several forces were so disturbed, even Fang Dacheng, the head of the sect, was a little unbearable, but even so, he didn't plan to drive Granny Sun out of the sect.
Shi Tiangang saw that Fang Dacheng was still protecting Grandma Sun, and immediately spoke again, saying that most of the people in this sect were young and strong young men, and if they hadn't worked hard, where would everyone have a hot meal.
Hehe laughed dryly, glared at Grandma Sun, and suddenly turned his head and said meaningfully: "Hey! I don't usually see some people working in the fields a few times, but people like this eat a lot when they eat! And those who really do the most work can only...
