Chapter 21: The First Apprenticeship

Gu Shijin asked the little beggar: "Are you willing to worship the master of the Water Palace as a teacher?" The little beggar said, "Apprentice, can I just follow the skills?" Gu Shijin nodded. Shui Qishan was born beautiful, and the little beggar liked her very much, so he immediately nodded and said, "Well, I do!" ”

Lu Buping saw that although the little beggar agreed to apprentice, he did not bow down, guessing that she must not know the number of apprentices, and said to her: "If you want to worship the master of the Water Palace as a teacher, you have to kowtow to her three times!" ”

When Grandpa said this, she obeyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Shuiqishan. Shui Qishan said: "From now on, you will be a disciple of Yunshui Palace, what is your name?" ”

The little beggar said, "Master Hui, I don't have a name!" Shui Qishan said: "It doesn't matter, I'll solve the poison on your body first!" As he spoke, he whispered a few words to a female disciple beside him, and the female disciple withdrew from the hall.

Shui Qishan said: "My disciple has gone to get the antidote, let me take a look at your injuries." The little beggar felt a tightening of her left shoulder, and Shui Qishan jumped and carried her to the jade chair. Gu Shijin said: "The body is like a phantom, so light!" "The road is uneven, but he doesn't speak at the moment.

As soon as Shui Qishan grasped the little beggar's wrist, he felt that her pulse was weak, and then injected a stream of true qi into her body, and her body was even more cold, and her breath was unstable, obviously poisoned deeply. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Envoy had used medicine to alleviate toxicity, I am afraid that his life would have been lost!

The little beggar said, "Master, can you save me?" "The little beggar is tormented by poison, how can he not be afraid? But when he saw Shui Qishan, he said: "I can save it, you only need to take the antidote for three days in a row, and the poison on your body will be completely removed!" The little beggar was at last happy.

The Yunshui Palace disciple who went to get the antidote had already returned to the hall, holding a blue medicine bottle in his hand and handing it to Shui Qishan. Shui Qishan poured out a pill and asked the little beggar to take it, the little beggar picked up the pill and just swallowed it in his stomach, when he felt a warm current flowing from the dantian into his limbs!

The little beggar said excitedly: "It's so comfortable! Lu Buping saw that after the little beggar took the medicine, the complexion on his face immediately changed slightly, and he was overjoyed: "Thank you for the medicine from the Lord of the Water Palace!" ”

Shui Qishan said: "I saved my apprentice, no need to thank you!" ”

Gu Shijin said: "Since this little girl has entered the gate of Yunshui Palace, it is inconvenient for me to disturb her." Say goodbye! Shui Qishan nodded, and ordered Shi Kezhen to escort them out of the island, and the little beggar saw everyone leaving, and followed himself.

Shi Kezhen led Gu Shijin and Lu Buping to return according to the way they came, crossed the narrow stone cave, went up the stone ladder, and went out of the cave...... When they got to the lake and were about to leave the island, they gave them a small boat tied to the shore of Yunshui Palace.

Then he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, on which were painted with various arrows in a zigzag manner. Said to Gu Shijin: "Master Gu, as long as you follow the guidance above, you will never get lost!" ”

Gu Shijin opened the handkerchief and saw that it was indeed very detailed, not only the terrain and environment of the lake, but also the approximate time of each journey. I was worried about not being familiar with the lake before, but now with this handkerchief, I feel much more at ease! He bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss Shi!" ”

Gu Huaiyan once thought that after the little beggar came to Yunshui Palace to ask for the antidote, she could return to Guhe Villa with her, but now she worshipped the palace master of Yunshui Palace as her teacher, and she worshipped the teacher, so she naturally wanted to live in Yunshui Palace, and she was a little lost in her heart.

But when I thought that the little beggar could only be relieved of the poison in her body by worshipping the palace master of Yunshui Palace as a teacher, I was helpless but happy for her. He said to the little beggar: "Sister, take care! ”

The little beggar suddenly understood that he was already a person from Yunshui Palace, and pulled Lu Buping's sleeve and said, "Grandpa, won't you take your granddaughter away?" Lu Buping patted the little beggar on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, you worship the master of the Water Palace as your teacher, you are a disciple of the Yunshui Palace, and you will live in the Yunshui Palace in the future!" ”

The little beggar was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Grandpa, will you come to see me?" Lu Buping said: "Yes!" ”

When Gu Shijin, Gu Huaiyan and Lu Buping stepped on the boat, the two envoys of Yin and Yang swept the boat away and sailed into the lake. It wasn't until several figures were hidden in the mist that the little beggar reluctantly left with Shi Kezhen.

The little beggar returned to Yunshui Palace, and Shui Qishan ordered her to meet again, and asked, "Your grandfather is called Lu Buping?" The little beggar replied, "Yes!" ”

Shui Qishan asked again: "Where do you live?" The little beggar knew that she had no home and didn't know where her grandfather's family lived, so she told Shui Qishan about her acquaintance with Lu Buping in the teahouse, but she didn't tell her, in fact, Lu Buping was handsome and extraordinary, and he was not as old as he imagined!

Shui Qishan originally wanted to find out the identity of the uneven road from the mouth of the little beggar, and she didn't want this grandfather to be half known to her, so she was a little disappointed.

The little beggar took the antidote given by Shui Qishan in Yunshui Palace for three days, and finally cleared all the poison of Xiahou Jinbu, and there was no more pain, and his heart was very happy.

thought that the master would teach her skills next, but since then, the little beggar has never seen Shui Qishan again, and even the senior sister Shi Kezhen is rare to see. All day long, I was in the backyard, doing some rough work such as adding firewood, burning fires and cooking, and I did it for a month.

She occasionally caught a glimpse of Yu Shen'er, who was apprenticed with her on the same day, and had already practiced martial arts with Shi Kezhen, and she was really envious in her heart. One day, she bumped into Sun Xiu and Sun Xin, two senior sisters, and asked, "Two senior sisters, why didn't you see me after the master detoxified me?" ”

Sun Xiu said: "Master, she doesn't like to be lively, she rarely talks to her disciples, and things in the palace are also handled by more senior disciples, and it is common for you not to see your master." What do you want to see the master do? ”

The little beggar said, "I want to learn skills!" Sun Xiu and Sun Xin looked at each other and smiled, and Sun Xin said, "You are so young, what kind of skills do you want to learn?" Is it the ability to kill? ”

The little beggar hurriedly said: "No, no, I want to learn martial arts, as well as light skills!" The master's light skills are as good as those of the grandfather, if I learn ......"

Sun Xiu suddenly covered the little beggar's mouth, didn't let her continue, glanced around, and said hurriedly: "Don't compare others with the master in the future!" Don't say anything like this again, the master will lose his temper when he listens to it! ”

The little beggar nodded. Sun Xiu saw that she was sensible and polite, so she asked, "You just said that after you learn martial arts, what do you want?" ”

The little beggar said, "If I learn martial arts, I can go to my father!" Senior sister's martial arts are so good, the master's martial arts must be better, if the master is willing to teach me, it would be great. ”

Sun Xiu and Sun Xin thought that the little beggar was an orphan, and said together: "You still have a father?" Where did he go? ”

The little beggar lowered his head and said, "I don't know where he went!" All I know is that he was taken away by a few people who know martial arts. ”

Sun Xiu and Sun Xin are both kind-hearted girls, seeing that the little beggar was sad, they couldn't bear to disappoint her, and comforted: "Little junior sister, you are young, although the master has not made arrangements for you for the time being, but her old man will always think of you, don't be discouraged!" ”

After more than a month like this, the little beggar was still adding firewood and cooking rice in Yunshui Palace, and the senior sisters said to her that she was not good, nor bad, she was like a handyman in the stove room, because she had no name, she was called: "Little junior sister!" Little sister! "The earth is calling to and fro.

Although she can't be like Yu Shen'er, someone leads her martial arts practice, but this kind of day is much better than when she used to beg for a bite of food along the street!

She didn't sleep on the streets and in the windy temples that were blown, with beds, quilts, and three meals a day when she couldn't get hungry. The senior sisters each have their own things to do, and she doesn't have much to do, and gradually, she is her own playmate.

Yu Shen'er practiced martial arts with great effort, and at every opportunity, she went to the back kitchen to look for food, and when she saw the little beggar talking to herself alone, she asked, "What are you talking to yourself?" ”

The little beggar replied, "I'm telling myself to work hard, not to be disliked by my sisters, if I am kicked out, I will not have such a good place to live!" ”

Yu Shen'er said: "Didn't the master let you practice martial arts?" Do you want to practice martial arts? The little beggar hurriedly said, "I think! …… But no one would teach me! ”

Yu Shen'er raised her head and said: "You apprentice late, you are my junior sister, senior sister should take care of junior sister, from now on, I will teach you." Whatever the senior sister teaches me, I will teach you! ”

The little beggar was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Are you really willing to teach me?" Yu Shen'er said: "Why not?" Before we came to Yunshui Palace, we met, and you saved me! This is what adults call fate. In the future, as soon as I have the opportunity, I will teach you martial arts, but don't let the senior sisters know that I am naughty. ”

The little beggar nodded again and again, and when Yu Shen'er saw that there was no one around, she immediately put on the posture of her senior sister, and let the little beggar squat up and step forward, punching out with a left fist and a right punch! Where the little beggar's posture was not in place, he learned from the senior sister Shi Kezhen and reprimanded him softly.

The little beggar cherishes the hard-won opportunity to practice martial arts, and cherishes Yu Shen'er, a friend who treats her honestly, although Yu Shen'er has a senior sister to teach her martial arts, but Shi Kezhen and her master Shui Qishan are both unsmiling people, and they can't help but feel lonely. Although the little beggar is also a person who is not good at talking, he is about the same age as himself, and it is always easy for the two to find common ground.

Yu Shen'er has the apprentice of the little beggar, and she practices martial arts even harder, so that she can teach her apprentices new moves, but every time she has to avoid the senior sisters and quietly teach the little beggar martial arts, which is inevitably a little hard.

In fact, how did she know that Shi Kezhen already knew about her secretly teaching the little beggar martial arts. It's just that seeing that she is improving day by day, and the two junior sisters have not violated the palace rules, they pretended not to know.

She knew that the master Shui Qishan Nian had a leg disease in the little junior sister, so she practiced in the back kitchen first, but she had absolutely no intention of snubbing the little junior sister, and she did not say that she would not let the little junior sister practice martial arts. Don't make any other arrangements for them right now!
