Chapter 18: I May Have Met a False Master
"Master, you are so caring, and Senior Brother Bai is so inspiring. If I'm still as decadent as I used to be, I'm sorry not only for the people who care for me, but probably just for me!"
At this moment, Cinnabar's eyes were filled with tears, and while shaking his head firmly, he made up his mind in his mouth: "No, I must not continue to sink, never!
He clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and he beckoned to Bai Shan, who was not far ahead, and said, "Senior brother, you wait for me, you have to go together, and you have to progress together." ”
Huang Geng watched the two of them express their hearts so resolutely, and seemed to be infected by their passionate emotions, and said with a very relieved expression:
"That's it, it's really teachable, both of you can come back to me. What kind of person am I, Huang Geng, and I am not the dull Cui Sheng, how can a person like Master take you to such an ordinary stupid cultivation path. ”
The two people in white shirts and cinnabar who were moving forward with their heads held high, immediately stepped on the brakes under their legs, and secretly shouted in their hearts. The two looked at each other, both smiled sinisterly, and secretly praised themselves in their hearts, and they were extremely witty.
Seeing the two of them turn around, Huang Geng's face changed back to solemnity again:
"Since you both have the intention of working hard, Master is naturally very comforted, then from tomorrow, you two must concentrate on cultivation and do not slack off! Cinnabar, continue to cultivate" Divine Cultivation Meditation Chapter, "Be sure to generate enlightenment in a short period of time; as for Baishan, I will also find you a new secret book, and you must not be lazy at will, otherwise even the immortals will not be able to return to heaven." ”
His face was calm, and he said in a calm voice: "The so-called 'master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual,' you must understand a truth: self-depravity and consumption of time are the greatest original sin in life." ”
In the end, he looked at the two untalented disciples with a look of love and pity on his face, and said in an earnest tone: "You two must be clear that this hard cultivation is definitely not for dealing with me, but always for your own good. ”
Huang Geng's last sentence, the tone was deliberately aggravated, he finished explaining, he didn't stop, immediately turned around, and left leisurely step by step.
The two Baishan cinnabars were left, stupidly staying in place, seemingly thoughtful.
After a while, Cinnabar suddenly said in a loud voice: "Senior brother, do you hear it, Master's last two words seem to have a different feeling, and they seem to be quite serious, and I suddenly feel a little sad in my heart somehow." ”
"Yes, it's rare to see Master serious once, how do you feel a little unacceptable. Bai Shan also felt a little confused, and wondered: "Could it be that we misunderstood him?"
......
In the evening of the same day, Senior Brother Zhao Yuxi, who had not appeared for half a month, actually came again.
This time it was different from the past, he didn't even say much, and directly threw Bai Shan's secret book, and there were four big words on the page: "On protracted war (1)." ”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao. Bai Shan: Hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
"Senior Brother Bai is not polite, Master has instructed that this secret book mainly exercises the will, which is very suitable for you, you can refer to it carefully. Zhao Yuxi's face was expressionless, and his tone was very flat.
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to look lonely and a little absent-minded.
"Senior Brother Zhao seems to be in a bad mood?" Bai Shan, who is good at observing words and emotions on weekdays, immediately saw the clues, and immediately asked out loud.
"Well, Master is going to go out for a poor trip in a few days, and there will be no one to guide me in my sunflower needlework practice. Zhao Yuxi said with a sense of loss.
"Are you talking about our master, who is going out on a poor trip?" Bai Shan's face was excited.
Zhao Yuxi didn't notice it, and only said in frustration: "Well, who else is there besides him, he goes out to travel almost every once in a while, and the time is not short, at least more than half a month." ”
Bai Shan's face suddenly brightened, and he said with joy: "Damn, how does it sound, it seems to be a very happy thing,"
Cinnabar on the side glared at him fiercely.
However, this Senior Brother Zhao Yuxi was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't care about his words, only frowned lightly and instructed: "You remember that tomorrow morning, you will rush to the main hall, and the master said that before leaving, I will explain some things to you." ”
......
The next day, in the main church.
Huang Geng is still sitting on the futon, but it is different from the past, this time the hair comb is shiny, and the clothes on his body are clean and new, not only does it not look like a poor tour, but it seems that he wants to go out to pick up girls.
He looked like a kind teacher, looking at cinnabar and white cedar with a smile, and his eyes were actually full of love.
"Don't be sitting, just sit down. ”
"In front of Master, there is no place for us. Bai Shanxiang laughed, but he cursed secretly in his heart, there are no other futons in this room, do you want us to sit on the ground?
"That's not right, you didn't know me for the first day, where would Master be a person who cares about this kind of form, but it's okay to sit down. Huang Geng's face was calm, his face was gentle, and he was obviously in a good mood.
He got up from the futon leisurely and began to walk lightly in the room, while saying: "Actually, after the original identification of the personality, the two of you originally followed the old practice and were to be rejected by the door, but it was only at my repeated request that the head of the door agreed to let you come to me. ”
Huang Geng paused, looked at the two of them, and asked in a quiet tone: "Do you know why I am fighting so hard?"
"I don't know, I want to come to the master with a deep meaning. "Bai Shan and Zhu Sha, when did they see this Huang Geng Master so normal, they felt quite uneasy in their hearts.
"I don't dare to take it seriously, just because your master, I, have never believed in anything mediocre. ”
Huang Geng smiled indifferently, and said in a much higher voice: "Although there are many geniuses in this world, I always believe that as long as you have a diligent nature and cultivate the Fa, everyone can walk out of their own path of light." ”
He looked at the two of them with firm eyes, and said slowly: "Duan Leng is like this, and you are the same!"
The two of them were shocked, they were ridiculed by people on weekdays, where did they hear such words of encouragement, it was really shocking.
Cinnabar couldn't help but say faster, "Master, how can you compare us to Senior Brother Duan Leng." ”
"What's not to compare, a genius prodigy, rather a kind?" Huang Geng said with a straight face: "Talented, very good, but if the talent is dull and ordinary, it is doomed to failure? Could it be that in this world, only those who are extremely talented can live?"
"Master is right, without mediocre talents like us, where can their talent be seen!" Bai Shan's heart was suddenly full of anger.
"No, no," Huang Geng shook his head and said: "You are naturally not a foil, as a teacher, I always believe that no matter who you are, as long as you work hard, you can also achieve something." ”
"Master, what you said must be more than just a way to cultivate martial arts. Cinnabar boldly guessed.
"Yes and no, there are many professions in the world, no matter what they are, if they can specialize in one of them, they are already a great achievement!"
Cinnabar seemed to have an understanding: "Master, I seem to understand something. ”
"Well, you can teach, Master has long known that you are all extraordinary products, and you are all materials that can be made. ”
Huang Geng smiled, reached out and stroked Cinnabar's head, and patted Bai Shan's shoulder again. The two of them suddenly felt a hot current in their hearts, slowly flowing in the bottom of their hearts.
Especially cinnabar, he suddenly felt that Master Huang Geng's obscene appearance was actually not so annoying, and even at this moment, his figure was suddenly a lot taller.
"During the time I went out this time, you must cultivate hard, don't be careless, and I will examine your achievements when I come back. Huang Geng said earnestly: "If it is the same as before, I will not show mercy." ”
"Apprentice understands, Master, don't worry," the two of them bowed down, this time, it seemed to be a heartfelt word.
"If you succeed in cultivation, I will also be rewarded, you must know that I am not a pedantic person. Huang Geng smiled and added: "As long as you are successful, I can also take you down the mountain, and it is okay to go on a tour." ”
"Travel?" The two of them suddenly felt their eyes light up.
"Master, are you going to take us on a poor trip?" Bai Shan stuck out his tongue and said secretly: I will never go to such a humiliating behavior.
"The journey that the master said is not a terrifying place like the Spirit Beast Mountain Range?" Cinnabar said excitedly, because of his background, he has always been interested in the legendary Sevenfold Spirit Beast Mountain Range.
"Do you think I'm crazy? Master's most proud purpose in this life is to never risk his life. ”
Huang Geng pointed to his head, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "If you travel, you will naturally go to those towns under the mountains." Especially in Nadongshan Town, there are many places to play, you can play, shop, drink, and gamble. ”
"Dongshan Town, my house is there," Bai Shan said with a smile, "If I want to work hard to cultivate, wouldn't I be able to go home?"
"Why not?" Huang Geng looked at Bai Shan and said: "By the way, you were born with an eight-star 'salty pig' personality, and it is not suitable to practice other methods, the technique of "On Protracted Warfare" is a method of exercising will, which is handed down by a master surnamed Mao (homonym) in ancient times, if you practice strong will, it may come in handy. ”
"As long as it's not a sunflower book," Bai Shan's face smiled wryly.
"And Cinnabar, do you think I'm throwing you a copy away? It's a spiritual cultivation book, and I don't feel like I care much about your cultivation?"
Cinnabar's face turned red, in his heart, he had indeed had such a thought.
"If you really think that, you're very wrong. ”
Huang Geng said earnestly: "Actually, the last time I was in the life character appraisal, I saw that your spiritual power was different from ordinary people, and I thought that you could urge the life tablet more than ten times in a row, how many people can easily do it? I'm afraid that your talented Senior Brother Duan Leng is not as good as you in this regard." It's just that they attach too much importance to their personality and neglect to observe these aspects, so it is quite unfair to you to define you arbitrarily. ”
Cinnabar suddenly felt that Huang Geng in his mind was not so unreliable, and he was suddenly a little moved: "Master, when you come back, I believe you will be able to see the new us." ”
"Well, good boy, Master is sure that you will bring me great surprises. ”
Huang Geng smiled, his expression was extremely kind, like a good teacher with a good sense of morality.
