Chapter 4 The Three Levels of Apprenticeship and Mentorship without Skin and Face
"Poof!" Chen Chuan squirted out a sip of tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What do you say?"
"I said, can you take me as an apprentice? I want to be an exorcist too? ”
"Me? Collect you? Be an apprentice? ”
"That's right!"
Yuan Fan nodded, and the answer was natural, but Chen Yan's brain was almost overwhelmed. What's the situation, chatting well, and wanting to apprentice if you don't agree with each other?
Chen Chuan shook his head.
"No, no, absolutely not! Do you know what an exorcist is? ”
"Like you, a ghost hunter, right?"
"What ghost hunter? Who told you that exorcists are ghost hunters? The exorcist is obviously ...... Why am I telling you, hiss...... No, why should I take you as an apprentice! ”
"I don't think there's anything in the world that can't be done. As an exorcist, can't you take in apprentices? Yuan Fan asked.
"You can accept apprentices......" Chen Tuan was a little dizzy when Yuan Fan asked.
"Then you've already taken in apprentices?"
"Uh...... I haven't had it yet......"
"Then why not consider taking in apprentices? And on such a good day today, you feel that you admire me very much, why can't you take me as an apprentice? ”
"I ...... Appreciate you...... This, the apprentice...... Good...... Day? Yuan Fan's eyes straightened, and he spit out a few words involuntarily.
"Oops! I said, you little friend, aren't you going around me! He slapped his thigh, "What's the benefit of me taking in apprentices, I'm just a lazy character, let my disciples work hard, I can't get along, I can't get along!" ”
"Master, you can't think like that," Yuan Fan called Master directly, and also used honorifics, "If you accept me, I will be equivalent to an apprentice, and you don't have to worry too much, 'Master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual'!" Just let me watch you exorcise demons and learn! ”
When Chen Chuan heard this, he nodded involuntarily slightly, Yuan Fan was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to flicker.
"And, you see every time you exorcise demons, you carry a backpack on your back, what's the point? There's no master's demeanor! Think about it, if you just stand in the house with a fairy wind bone, as long as you have one hand, I will put the talisman paper in your hand, which is convenient and magnificent, isn't it? ”
Yuan Fan added an offensive momentum, Chen Chuan even narrowed his eyes this time, and the enjoyment on his face was obviously imagining the picture described by Yuan Fan in his heart.
"Also, you see how tired you are catching demons and exorcisms, how tired you are day by day, with me as an apprentice, I can run errands for you in general things, and when you are resting, I can rub your shoulders, serve tea, pour water or something, then your quality of life is quite improved!"
Yuan Fan looked up at Chen Chuan after flickering, and found that the old man at this time had already shaken his head, fantasizing about a beautiful new life, and couldn't help but be secretly proud, this old man, I still have to rely on flickering, I really became your apprentice, I just want to divert my attention, whether I learn to exorcise or not is secondary, and I still have to work hard to serve you?
Yuan Fan was proud for a few seconds, but Chen Chuan shook his head and suddenly retracted, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked at Yuan Fan.
"Huh! Good boy, is this pouring me ecstasy soup? What do you think...... Am I so easy to deceive? Then how can I still be in the Ten Thousand Souls Bush, and the ghosts don't get wet? You underestimate me, don't you? ”
Yuan Fan didn't expect that Chen Chuan's intoxicated appearance just now was actually for himself, and he suddenly looked cramped, okay, this old man actually played himself!
"Then Master, in fact, I think you are open to accepting apprentices, how can you accept me as an apprentice?"
Chen Chuan listened, drank another cup of tea, put the cup on the coffee table, and then pursed his lips.
"You're right, whether you accept apprentices or not, I don't really care, your little friend is still very helpful, his temperament is not bad, he is quite clever, and it is not impossible to accept you as an apprentice."
According to Yuan Fan's seventeen and a half years of life experience, there should be a "but" here.
"But ......," Yuan Fan rolled his eyes, and sure enough, there was a turn, "In my vein, almost all of them are passed from father to son, and from son to grandson, and I am not prepared for you to suddenly want to apprentice." Accept outsiders as apprentices, you have to pass the three levels of my master's door, and after the three levels, I will accept you as an apprentice, and you can't pass it...... That's because you have nothing to do with exorcism, and I can't help it! ”
"What are the three levels? If you let me go up the Sword Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, then I will definitely not be able to pass half a level! ”
"Nonsense, I have nothing to do with letting you go up the knife mountain, what kind of fire you go to!"
"Then if you ask me to rob a bank, steal a chicken and touch a dog, I won't be able to do it!"
"You...... You, what do you think of me? What can I let you do if you violate the rules? ”
"Then if you ......"
"Shut up! Why are you so poor! Chen Chuan stood up suddenly, "I'm almost angry!" ”
"Master, you say! You say! I won't say it! Yuan Fan hurriedly made a statement.
Chen Chuan glanced at him and said slowly: "These three levels, I won't talk about it first, you can follow me, and when I complete the next client's entrustment, I will observe silently, and then I will naturally see it!" ”
"That's not good," Yuan Fan quickly shook his hand, "You don't explain it in advance, who knows what you're going to investigate, what if I actually did a good job, but you changed your mind privately?" ”
"So, you doubt my character?" Chen Chuan's voice was slightly cold.
"No, no, this ......" Yuan Fan quickly explained, "There are rules and regulations, isn't it obvious!" There are still key test points in the college entrance examination, job search and application indicators, and mate selection criteria for finding a partner! ”
"Shhh I said you were poor if you didn't agree with each other! Chen Chuan said impatiently, "I guarantee with my reputation as an exorcist that the assessment of the three levels is absolutely fair, believe it or not, please leave if you don't believe it!" ”
"This ......" Yuan Fan hesitated for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "I'm my room, where am I going, I'm ......"
Hearing Yuan Fan's words, Chen Chuan "Teng" stood up and walked out, silently reciting "I can't stand it, I can't stand it".
Looking at this posture, the old man was really angry, Yuan Fan quickly stood up and pulled him, and he didn't pay for it, and swore that he would not do it in the future, and finally Chen Chuancai stood up.
"Humph! Spare you once, if you want to pass the three levels, then the tour group arrived in Wuhan, the next morning, you go to the Yellow Crane Tower and wait for me! After Chen Chuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the door.
Yuan Fan was left in the room alone, and he had to carefully consider the possibility of apprenticeship. When he first opened his mouth, there may still be seven points of joke in it, but with his little bit of persuasion of Chen Chuan, in fact, even he himself is being "hypnotized" by himself, and now there are eight points of wanting to really apprentice. But I don't know if the old man is telling the truth, if so, what are the three levels to test himself?
Thinking about it, Yuan Fan couldn't help but shake his head.
"What do you want to do so much, just go to the Yellow Crane Tower when the time comes. Maybe the old man is a liar, but he just thought of a way to get out, and the Yellow Crane Tower also shook me, and I will never see him again. Thinking about it, he got up and prepared to close the door.
Who would have thought that as soon as he got up, a black shadow rushed in like a whirlwind, picked up the backpack on the sofa, and snatched the door again, who was it not Chen Chuan?
Yuan Fan was stunned, this old man ......
********************
On the afternoon of the third day, the ship finally docked at the dock in Wuhan, and the tourists also disembarked one after another. Yuan Fan deliberately paid attention to the family, and found that although the couple had a little sadness on their faces, their mental outlook was much better, and the little boy was young and ignorant, and he didn't know what what happened yesterday meant to his family.
However, Yuan Fan looked left and right, but he didn't see Chen Chuan! This is strange, why is the old man missing in this day? Could he still jump into the river?
Strange is strange, Yuan Fan can only shake his head and ignore it. The couple brought the little boy to Yuan Fan and expressed their gratitude, but Yuan Fan didn't even say that it mattered. Then the family of three did not go with the tour group, but said that they were going to take a taxi to the airport in Wuhan, and it seemed that after dealing with the "little female ghost", they had no intention of playing, so they went home directly.
The rest of the tourists came to a five-star hotel in Wuhan, Wanda Weiss Hotel (don't care about the various place names in the novel, even if it is Wuhan, Yellow Crane Tower, it is all an empty reality!) Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your understanding! )。 For living here, Yuan Fan is very happy, because it is only more than two kilometers away from the Yellow Crane Tower, if the angle is good, you can see the Yellow Crane Tower in the hotel room, and it will be much more convenient to go to the Yellow Crane Tower the next day.
Yuan Fan heard the story that in ancient times, there was a person who wanted to apprentice, and the master asked him to meet on a certain bridge in the morning, but he was late, and it was useless to explain, so the master asked him to come again the next day, but he still didn't arrive as early as the master, and the next day he ran in vain, until the third day, he came to the bridge in the middle of the night and waited, and the master agreed to accept him as an apprentice.
Yuan Fan thought to himself, this ancient's concept of time is really strong enough, and it is better than most people now. I remember the last time I agreed to go out with a few good friends from Ding Yichen's class, and I was scheduled to gather somewhere at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the people hadn't arrived at half past nine.
Thinking of Ding Yichen, Yuan Fan sighed secretly, it seems that it is not so simple to forget her. As for the appointment of the Yellow Crane Tower the next day, since he wants to apprentice, maybe the time to arrive at the Yellow Crane Tower is also one of the three levels, so Yuan Fan went to bed early that night and prepared to go to the appointment early the next day.
There was nothing to say all night, and at six o'clock the next day, Yuan Fan got up early, and the breakfast in the hotel began to be served at seven o'clock, Yuan Fan couldn't wait for that time, so he hurriedly cleaned up, went out and bought a drawer of buns, and took a taxi to the Yellow Crane Tower.
Before seven o'clock, Yuan Fan rushed to the Yellow Crane Tower. Within a few minutes of arriving, Yuan Fan deeply felt that he was not sick! In the winter, the sky is not completely bright, and he ran to the Yellow Crane Tower early to wait for him because of a nonsense from the old man Chen Chuan, what if he didn't come to joke? Even if he comes, he won't come until noon? At this point in time, the Yellow Crane Tower is not open, and it can't be frozen outside!
Yuan Fan had no choice but to wander around the Yellow Crane Tower, and at this time, it was also the time for the small restaurants to open their doors, Yuan Fan just found a teahouse, he paced in, found a window position and sat down, let the waiter serve a few small snacks and tea, and began to wait.
Yuan Fan's location on the second floor, where he could see the entrance of the ticket office of the Yellow Crane Tower, he was not in a hurry, if Chen Chuan arrived, he should be able to see it.
Gradually, there were more people on the street, Yuan Fan began to look for which of the passers-by was a beauty, and really let him find a few people with good figures, although he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, but his body alone was very eye-catching, which made Yuan Fan sigh, I didn't expect that when I arrived in Wuhan in winter, everyone wore relatively more, and they could see such a good material.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked by, Yuan Fan looked at this person a little strange, dressed in a short dress, although it was also long-sleeved and long-pants, but it didn't look very warm. Wuhan is only a few degrees in winter, and he looks like nothing is wrong with such clothes. Yuan Fan was just looking, but when the middle-aged man passed downstairs, he seemed to feel Yuan Fan's gaze, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yuan Fan, Yuan Fan quickly withdrew his gaze, strangely, looking at each other in less than half a second, Yuan Fan was a little frightened.
When Yuan Fan came back to his senses and looked out the window again, he found that he couldn't find the middle-aged man who was dressed up just now!
It's really a hell, although the sky hasn't fully lit up, but the sight should be good enough, why did the big living person suddenly disappear? Thinking of the half-second look in his eyes just now, Yuan Fan couldn't help but shudder, the past two days have really not been smooth, won't he see another ghost?
Yuan Fan was thinking wildly, but a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Little brother, hello!" ”
Yuan Fan was startled, and when he looked back, good guy, he was almost startled again! It was no one else who spoke, it was the middle-aged man downstairs just now, and the family of the daring lover did not disappear, but also entered this teahouse, so it couldn't be found on the street.
Thinking that he was suspicious, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, it seemed that he had just seen a ghost, and his psychology was a little abnormal. This time, I took a closer look at this middle-aged man dressed in a short costume, and found that this middle-aged man was really only wearing a thin body, a rather sturdy body, and there was no humane middle-aged fatness, or the feeling of reduced physical strength of another type of middle-aged person.
"Little brother, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Seeing that Yuan Fan didn't speak, the middle-aged man spoke again.
"Huh? Uh, oh! No, no, you just scared the hell out of me! Yuan Fan hurriedly cleaned up his mood.
"You, do you know me?" Yuan Fan paused for a moment and asked.
"Haha! I don't know you as a person, but ......" The middle-aged man also paused and glanced at Yuan Fan deeply, "I know the breath on your body!" ”
"Breath?"
"Hmmm! Breath, a ghostly aura! ”
