Chapter 63: Little Zhezhe's apprenticeship
When Yin Si returned to the Taoist temple, he saw Ku Rong hugging a tree, and on the fork next to him, Liang Zhezhe was sitting, still chattering and pulling Ku Rong, shouting to apprentice.
"Daoist, what are you doing?" Yin Si listened under the tree for a while, then raised his head and shouted, "Do you have time now?" I have something I want to ask. ”
"King Stability?" Ku Rong was like seeing a savior, and immediately came behind Yin Si, Liang Zhezhe saw this, and immediately stood opposite Yin Si with a blazing spirit, still holding on to Ku Rong.
"Miss Liang?" Yin Si saluted, "This king has something to ask the lower Taoist chief, can the young lady avoid it?" ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Zhezhe is now afraid that Ku Rong will run away, but she is about to let go of the grinding people, and at this time, she naturally can't let him run.
"Haven't Daoist Kurong agreed to the apprenticeship?" Yin Si pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and immediately turned around to criticize Ku Rong, "Dao Chief, I've known you for many days, haven't you always wanted to accept another apprentice and be Miss Zhezhe's companion?" ”
"Really?" Xiao Zhezhe excitedly grabbed Yin Si's arm, and the whole person was about to jump up happily, this Lord Wei looked like a good person, and he helped her.
"King Stability?" Ku Rong was stunned, what did his nephew's words mean?
"Miss Zhezhe, although she is a talented woman, she has no martial arts background, in addition to being proficient in immortal Taoism, her martial arts are also among the best," Yin Si said very calmly, "Miss Zhezhe, she is an apprentice who has been accepted to teach immortal Taoism, Miss Liang, you can just accept it, and pass on your martial arts to her." ”
"I'm going to learn immortal magic too!" Xiao Zhezhe is very determined, martial arts or something, I have always been short of masters, and immortal Taoism is relatively rare.
"What is the immortal magic and Taoism, pay attention to fate, Miss Liang, don't be in a hurry," Yin Si suggested to her, "Miss is better, first worship under the Taoist chief, learn from martial arts, and when the time is ripe, you won't be able to learn what the immortal magic and Taoism are." ”
The implication is that you don't want to worry about what to learn, worship the teacher first, and when you finish worshipping the teacher, you can discuss what you want to learn in the long run.
"The Taoist is not an unkind person," Yin Si looked at Liang Zhezhe, who was a little loosened by what he said, "Since you are accepted as an apprentice, it will definitely be passed on from heart to heart, as long as the girl is talented and sees the hearts of the people over time, the immortal magic and Taoism of the Taoist master are not deliberately hidden, and even the apprentice is not passed on." ”
"That's right," Liang Zhezhe was completely moved by what he said, and went around behind Ku Rong, wanting to kneel down to worship the master.
"Miss Liang, no!" Kurong immediately grabbed her arm and didn't let her kneel.
"Miss Liang, the apprenticeship is to serve tea," Yin Si continued to light the fire on the side, "The Taoist is a cultivator, and the apprenticeship will also be in the right place at the right time." The girl has to pick a good time to come. ”
"Do you want to do this?" In the past, apprentices were just kowtowing directly, tea is a thing, if you want to drink it, you can immediately find a cup, and you want to pick the time? It's the first time I've heard of it!
"Naturally," Ku Rong nodded hurriedly, feeling very aggrieved, this nephew, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd, why is he selling himself outside?
"The plan for the day lies in the morning, Miss Liang, we have to go back and prepare well," Yin Si looked up at the sky, "Tomorrow is a good day, suitable for apprenticeship and tea." ”
"That's it," Liang Zhezhe immediately understood, withdrew his arm, and saluted the two, "Then I'll say goodbye first, go back and prepare, the two of you talk slowly, farewell!" ”
"What's your plan?" Seeing that Liang Zhezhe's figure was gone, Ku Rong was opposite Yin Si, blowing his beard angrily and glaring, so he was not angry.
"I'm thinking about my uncle, doesn't my uncle thank me?" Ignoring his anger, Yin Si bypassed him and walked into the depths of the view.
"Uncle has accepted an apprentice for you," and when he accepted it, he was reluctant, "You know, I'm used to being alone, and it's not interesting for me to accept apprentices or something." ”
"Wasn't that all before?" Yin Si stopped, turned to look at Ku Rong, and looked surprised, "I thought that after my uncle accepted an apprentice, he wouldn't mind this anymore." ”
"Can a little apprentice be considered an apprentice?" Ku Rong got angry, "You did it on purpose, let's say, what is it for, to force that little girl to me?" ”
If I don't have a good reason, I'm going to have to fight you this time.
"Because her name is Zhezhe," Yin Si's calculation in his heart is very clear, "She has a good relationship with Zhezhe, and she also knows some martial arts, if she can let them be in one place often, first, it can confuse the public, and second, Zhezhe's comfort is also a little more guaranteed." ”
"Are you the one behind the scenes who eats vegetable bran?" Daoist Ku Rong was very unhappy, "Besides, this is Liang Xiangguo's daughter, Liang Zhesi's sister, you still want to get news from him, now count other people's sisters in, aren't you afraid that he will turn against you?" ”
"He won't," Yin Si knew very clearly, "It's Miss Liang herself who wants to apprentice, I'm just pushing the boat, it's you who nod, what do you have to do with me?" ”
"You—" a mouthful of old blood came to his throat, "when did I agree to take her as an apprentice?" ”
"Since you don't want to, why didn't your uncle explain it and let the family misunderstand in vain," Yin Si looked innocent and suggested to him, "Master tomorrow, why don't you run away?" ”
"I fled, isn't that suspicious, I'm the mastermind of this incident?" At this juncture, where is he going?
"Then let's make it clear to Miss Liang directly," Yin Si sighed, "That's the only way to do it, uncle, why do you always do things like this?" ”
"Haven't I been cheated by you?" You're embarrassed to pretend to be innocent with me here, Ku Rong is about to be angry with him, "That's it, I'll just take her as an apprentice." ”
"Congratulations to my uncle, I have accepted a good apprentice," Yin Si is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are full of blessings.
"You have it," don't congratulate me, I can't stand it, "Don't talk about this, you went to Dali Temple, but what information did you find?" ”
"Naturally," Yin Si told Ku Rong all the news he had found with Liang Zhesi and Huang Pi today.
"Wu Guo's intelligence organization, I'm afraid it's not just a Dali Temple," Ku Rong frowned, so many things have been inquired by them, so the reason behind this is naturally not something that can be done by just Dali Temple.
"That's what I speculated," Wu Guo's intelligence has been paying attention to in the Qingwan Pavilion, and in the past two years, I don't know why, the previous eyeliner has been shelved and ignored, as if someone deliberately sent a lot of people to investigate, but it always can't detect the substantive content.
"It's only three years," this sense of powerlessness started three years ago, two years ago, Yin Si followed Li Chenliang here, not only to track down his whereabouts, but also to visit, blocking the power behind the information of Qingwan Pavilion, what is it.
"The same is true of the Qi State," Ku Rong sighed, the intelligence of the Qi State was more difficult to obtain than the Wu State. He spent more than 20 years before and after, but he failed to penetrate half of the royal family's information, and now all he gets is some scattered fragments of information.
"Don't talk about this," since he has already connected with the behind-the-scenes forces of Wu Guo, it is only a matter of time to find out who he is and what his organization is, and now the top priority is the present, "Uncle has any reservations about voodoo information?" Is this poison really incurable? ”
"Is it really voodoo?" In Kurong's heart, he was originally suspicious, but now when he heard him ask, he immediately understood in his heart, "Is it really it?" ”
"Didn't my uncle meet him when he went to Northern Xinjiang?" Ku Rong rarely mentioned the situation when he went to the northern frontier, but only compiled all the information he got from there into a book and left it in the Qingwan Pavilion.
"I've only heard of it, but I haven't encountered it," Ku Rong shook his head, "There are not many people in the cities in northern Xinjiang who know about such things, and those who have these rumors are all ethnic minorities close to the snow-capped mountains. ”
"The snow-capped mountain where the Gongbo clan originated?"
"There have always been rumors in the snowy mountains," Kurong nodded.
There are only rumors among the ethnic minorities about voodoo: it is said that the witch gods in the mountains will punish the tribes who steal into the mountains, and in the middle of the night, they will take away their women and children, and then make them into witches and put them back, and after a few years, the witches will go crazy, and the entire tribe will be killed by the witch plague.
Therefore, those tribes are both respectful and afraid of the snow-capped mountains, and they have to sacrifice to the witch gods every year, and the clansmen never dare to cross into the depths of the snow-capped mountains. In order to find an antidote, Ku Rong had to rush in at the risk of death, but only brought two bells out, saying that if anyone was caught in voodoo, the bell could be ringed by her in that person's hand.
"But you want to take off the little apprentice's bell and give it a try for everyone?" Since it is suspected that it is voodoo, it is still necessary to verify it with multiple eyes.
"I also have this intention," the voodoo matter, originally his speculation, to Dali Temple, from the mouth of the man heard the witch man, witch plague these words, he has seven points of certainty, behind Huang Pi straight to the point, holding voodoo, Yin Si is even more certain.
"Dali Temple knows no less about voodoo than us!" Ku Rong can be sure, "If they do have people from ethnic minorities on the border of Qi State." ”
"I think so too, Huang Pi asked me, it's more like testing me, will there be something to hide," at that time, he had obviously heard this mentioned by Huang Pi, but Huang Pi still looked unaware, "Otherwise, I have doubts about voodoo." ”
"The voodoo incident was originally a rumor, and it is normal for Huang Pi to be suspicious," after all, this is all a legend without substantiation," he asked you, and he also wanted to confirm it! ”
"Master, do you know how this poison is placed?" Yin Si never knew, "How did my mother get poisoned back then?" ”
"It's not difficult for voodoo to enter the body, you just need to give it a chance to enter the human body," Ku Rong kept his mouth shut about the events of the year, "eating, drinking, wounds, it's all possible." ”
"The person who poisoned you, did your uncle ever know?" Even if Kurong doesn't want to mention it anymore, Yin Si still has to ask.
"The barbarians in the northern Xinjiang are already dead," Ku Rong's words were cold, "The whole clan has been slaughtered by me, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, my uncle is tired today, let's go back and rest early," Yin Si stopped asking, and turned around and left silently.
