Night!

"Dao Chief, the kid wants to worship you as a teacher and learn the Dao Fa!"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

I kowtowed continuously, banging my head on the wooden floor.

The four-eyed Taoist got up, snorted, and then, looking at me with hazy eyes, said with an unhappy face: "If you want to worship the teacher, can't you worship again tomorrow?" Don't you know that disturbing people's dreams is a great sin! ”

I was speechless and couldn't answer.

The four-eyed Taoist snorted again and said, "Boy, your cooking is delicious." Truth be told, I want to take you as an apprentice too. However, it is not so simple to enter my Maoshan faction. Our ancestor passed down three apprenticeship tests, if you successfully passed, you can enter my Maoshan Gate. ”

"Dao Chief, what if you can't get through?" I asked.

"That's naturally a roll and leave!"

"Alright, now you go and rest immediately, tomorrow during the day, let's start the first test!"

After saying the last sentence, the four-eyed Taoist snorted again, fell asleep, and ignored me anymore.

The next morning, I was woken up by the four-eyed Taoist.

"Boy, get up! Breakfast was made. ”

After getting up, breakfast was ready, and then, the four-eyed Taoist and I swept through the breakfast.

All morning, he never mentioned the events of the previous night, as if he had forgotten.

I was in a hurry, and every time I wanted to ask, I saw that the four-eyed Taoist was meditating and spitting, so I couldn't disturb me.

Finally, at noon, the four-eyed leader got up, beckoned to me, and led me into the courtyard.

"Alright, boy, let's start the first test now!"

"Hmm."

The four-eyed Taoist pointed to the sun at this time and said, "Look at the sun, rotate fifty times, and then discern the direction!" ”

I followed his words, looked at the scorching sun, and began to spin.

Fifty laps later, I felt that my eyes couldn't be opened, and at this time, there was a loud shout from the four-eyed Taoist: "Where I am standing now, what is the direction!" ”

I blurted out, "Eight o'clock!" ”

"Whoosh~~", the four-eyed Dao Chang instantly moved to another place, and also shouted: "What about now? ”

I still blurted out, "Eighteen o'clock!" ”

"Whoosh~~"

The four-eyed Taoist changed his position again and asked, "What now?" ”

I immediately replied, "Thirteen o'clock!!" ”

"Good! Boy, you have good eyes that are perfect for walking at night! At the same time, you have a very keen eye and can see very subtle things. These two points are the basic qualities of becoming a Taoist priest. ”

"The first test, you passed!!"

In this way, I passed the first apprenticeship test, and in the afternoon, the four-eyed Taoist went out on a trip.

When I returned, it was already evening.

After dinner, he pointed to the mountain in front of the door and said to me: "In the afternoon, I put a leaf with the word written on it on a mound of graves in the middle of the mountain. ”

I listened to the words of the four-eyed Taoist, and I almost wanted to hit him.

This old man actually asked me to look for a leaf in the vast mountains in the middle of the night.

Rub, why didn't he let me go to the sea to find a needle?

"Why, you don't want to? Well, after today, you get out of here! The four-eyed Taoist said coldly.

"Okay, I'll go."

I gritted my teeth and ran towards the mountain.

After I left, Master Ikyu walked over with a smile.

"Four-eyed old man, do you want this little baby to die? In the middle of the night, let him enter the ghost mountain? ”

"Hmph, old monk, you know a fart. I do things with my own plans! ”

"By the way, what about your female apprentice?"

Master Yixiu instantly became nervous, "Old Taoist, you are an old immortal, you shouldn't have the idea of fighting Jingjing, right?" She's only eighteen! Your age is ready to be his grandfather! ”

The four-eyed Taoist elder glared at him and said, "Old monk, you still have the face to say that you are a monk, and what is in your head all day long?" Dirty! ”

Master Yixiu relaxed and asked, "Then why are you asking Jingjing?" ”

"Tell her to secretly follow and protect that silly boy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow! ”

After saying this, the four-eyed Taoist opened the door, stretched his waist, and fell asleep...

In the house of Master Ikkyu!

"Uh... Master, I don't want to protect him! "Jingjing's mouth.

Master Yixiu smiled and said, "Jingjing, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." If you don't go, that boy will die. ”

"Death is death." Jingjing spread her hands, and then, as if she thought of something, her face turned red, and she said: "His kind of bad embryo deserves to die!" ”

Master Ikkyu sighed and pretended to be sorry: "In the near future, I plan to go to the city. Originally, I planned to take an obedient girl with me. Now it seems that there is no candidate. Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity that I'm so old that I have to go on the road alone. ”

"Ahh Master. How could there be no candidates? I, I am. You're taking me..."Jingjing's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.

Master Yixiu snickered in his heart, but frowned on his face and said, "What I want to bring is an obedient girl..."

"Master, the apprentice is the most obedient! Take me there. Jingjing began to be coquettish and shook Master Ikkyu's arm.

"Save someone's life, win..."

"Okay, master, you don't need to say it. Isn't it just to protect that bad embryo for one night? No problem, I'll go now! ”

Jingjing said that she would go, and immediately took the compass and the peach wood sword on the road...

……

Night!

The moon is like a tooth, and the stars are dotted!

The chirping of cicadas, frogs and owls make this mountain look particularly gloomy.

Although I was scared to death, I had to push myself forward in order to complete the test.

The second test of the four-eyed Taoist was to ask me to find a leaf of the 'Tao' carved on a grave somewhere on this mountain.

The mountain is so big, let alone find a leaf, even if it is a grave, it is difficult to find.

I can only run around the mountains blindly without a goal.

Behind me, Jingjing, who was secretly following, couldn't help but sneer secretly: "Bad, your legs are shaking when you walk, look at how you find the leaves in one night." ”

"Alas, if I continue to search like I am now, let alone tonight, even if it is half a month, I will not be able to find that leaf." I sighed, frustrated.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw phosphorus fire floating in the air in the mountains.

"Ah, phosphorus fire, by the way, the principle of phosphorus fire is because the bones of the corpse are rich in 'scales', and the burning point of the scales is very low, as long as the weather is hot, it will burn in the air, thus producing phosphorus fire. In rural areas, phosphorus fires are also known as ghost fires. ”

"If I want to find that leaf, I must first find the grave in the mountain, and to find the grave in the mountain, I only need to find the place where the phosphorus fire floats!"

Thinking of this, I was overjoyed, and when I looked up at the mountain, I found that there were six places where phosphorus fires were floating.

"Great, I'll search these six places first, and maybe I'll find the leaves!!"

Maybe I saw hope, so, for a while, I actually forgot about my fear and started running in high spirits.

"Hey, this bad embryo is quite smart. Where you know that there is a ghost fire, there is a grave. But are you so cowardly as to look for leaves in the grave? "Jingjing in the shadows also sped up and followed me secretly.

It didn't take long for me to come to the first grave.

At this time, fear filled me again.

The faint phosphorus fire burned at the head of the grave, billowing white smoke, filling the entire grave, at this moment, my ~ legs, as if filled with lead, extremely heavy, not even a single step.

"Huhu~~~"

I breathed heavily, trying to suppress my fear.

It took more than half an hour to fully recover. Then, I took the first step and began to search for the graves, one by one.

Jingjing in the shadows looked at me a little impressed, "This bad embryo is a bit bold!" ”

More than a dozen graves were searched, but no leaves were found in the mouth of the four-eyed Dao chief.

At this time, from a distance, there was a thicker white smoke, and in the smoke rolling, a young girl, twisting the 'grinding plate' and hooking her eyes, walked slowly towards me...

"Little brother, long time no see..."
