Chapter 12: Worship of the Master
“…… Yes, that's right. Cheng Xiao took a sip of water and sadly told the story he made up to Uncle Nine and Wen Cai.
"I didn't expect you to be so miserable, so what are you going to do next?" Uncle Nine's eyes flashed with sympathy.
"I ...... Now it's either going back to the UK or staying here and doing business. There is no other way. ”
"That'...... What business are you going to do? "Wencai's original intention was to let Cheng Xiao stay here, and he also had a companion. But as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt inappropriate, and let a family stay in this place after studying in the UK, and wronged others.
"Alas......" Cheng Xiao drank a cup of tea and sighed.
"Do you have any business here?"
Wen Cai's eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, there's a lot of business."
Uncle Nine gave Wen Cai a slap in the face: "What business is here?" ”
"This ...... It's okay to open a shop. Wen Cai said aggrievedly.
"Cheng Xiao came back from studying in the UK and opened a shop? It's up to you to say it. Uncle Nine reprimanded.
"No, no, Uncle Nine, I don't have any particularly lofty ambitions, I like a stable and free life, except for serving the motherland, I really haven't thought about doing any big business. Wencai's idea is very good. Cheng Xiao said.
"Do you really want to open a shop?" Uncle Nine was a little stunned.
"It's not ...... Mainly, alas. Cheng Xiao sighed and said in a sad tone.
"When I returned to China, all my family members were gone, and I came back with all my hard work, and in this country, the only people I could know were Uncle Nine and Wencai. When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded, I was rescued by a French merchant who was too young to find his relatives. Then the French businessman took me to France, where I wanted to return to our country day and night, so I studied hard to come back to serve the motherland, and I successfully graduated a while ago and got a diploma from Harvard University. returned to China with a scholarship to find relatives, but ...... Who would have thought! Why, I don't have a single loved one. Woo, woo. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Xiao hid his face and cried bitterly
"Ugh." Uncle Nine sighed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
And Wencai is also in tears.
"Cheng Xiao, woo...... Don't cry. Wen Cai originally planned to comfort Cheng Xiao, but he also cried.
Wen Cai cried like this, and Cheng Xiao cried even harder.
At this time, Cheng Xiao felt a hand on his shoulder, and the voice of Uncle Nine came.
"Child, don't cry, a good man is ambitious, no matter what setbacks you have to stand up, I can feel your enthusiasm, if you don't dislike it, stay here first, if you want to do business, I will help you."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao was excited in his heart. But he still pretended to be sobbing.
"Nine...... Uncle Jiu, can I learn Maoshan with you? ”
Uncle Nine was stunned, and Wen Cai was still crying at this time.
Uncle Nine immediately slapped him again, and forcibly made Wen Cai recover a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Why do you want to learn Maoshan Technique?"
"Because I have heard people say that Taoism in our country has a long heritage, and it has a heroic and righteous spirit, and the Maoshan technique is even more mysterious, which can fly into the sky and the earth, and can drive away corpses and demons." Cheng Xiao looked at Uncle Nine longingly.
"This ......" Uncle Nine was a little embarrassed. After all, I've only known Cheng Xiao for a few days.
"Master, you can accept Cheng Xiao as an apprentice, and someone will help you. Master, master. Wencai prayed.
"Cheng Xiao, have you really decided to worship me as a teacher? Do you know that there is a saying in our country, one day is a teacher and a father for life, and apprenticeship is not just talking. Uncle Nine said solemnly.
"Yes, master, Cheng Xiao has no complaints." Cheng Xiao instantly changed his tone and shouted.
"Hmm!" Looking at Cheng Xiao's solemn and firm appearance, Uncle Nine nodded with satisfaction.
"Wencai!"
"Yes."
"Prepare for the Worship Ceremony."
"Yes."
(Worship of the teacher?) There is no such thing in the plot. But finally succeeded in apprenticeship, phew. )
Cheng Xiao's tense heart breathed a sigh of relief.
The worship festival was quickly prepared.
A high platform, there are three Qings on it, and there are ancestors and ancestors below.
Uncle Nine told Cheng Xiao what to do. After Cheng Xiao nodded, he turned around and made a worship ceremony.
"Sanqing is above, Maoshan Sects are in front, disciple Lin Fengjiao, entered Maoshan for 33 years, all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, Kuang supports justice, and now wants to accept Cheng Xiao as the 18th generation disciple of this faction. I don't want him to kill demons and save the world by hanging his sword. I only hope that he will be kind and compassionate, upright, and worthy of his heart. The request was granted by the Rank of Sect. ”
After that, he bowed down three times, then offered incense, and knelt on the ground. It seems to be waiting for some password.
The three incense sticks were burning slowly, and they were also burning Cheng Xiao's torment.
Finally, when the incense was exhausted, a golden light shot out from Sanqing's body and merged into Cheng Xiao's body.
Cheng Xiao knew that this was because he had been recognized by the Maoshan faction, and he would be a member of the Maoshan faction in the future.
With a solemn expression, Cheng Xiao fell to the ground.
"The three Qings are above, the Maoshan Sects are in front, the disciple Cheng Xiao, now worships Lin Fengjiao as a teacher, and will never turn his back on it. The disciples will be upright and upright, worthy of all sentient beings, worthy of the Three Qings, and worthy of the world. Worthy of Maoshan and worthy of the master, death is respectful death. Heaven and earth can be learned! ”
After speaking, suddenly there was a thunderclap in the blue sky and white sky. Then silence returned.
"Great, great, junior brother." When Wencai was happy, he came up and gave Cheng Xiao a big hug.
Uncle Nine also smiled softly beside him and looked at Cheng Xiao.
(Whew, I'm so nervous.) If it doesn't pass, it's not good to make Uncle Nine suspicious. Now that I'm finally apprenticed, everything is going well! )
Cheng Xiao had no time to pay attention to Wencai's hug, and breathed a sigh of relief and felt the joy of success.
"Cheng Xiao, you are now the eighteenth generation disciple of the Maoshan Sect, you come with me, I will teach you the basic spells of the Maoshan Sect."
