Chapter 50: Apprenticeship
"Lin Jing, I'm going to go to Shenjing with my father later, but do you want me to help you bring some incense powder or rouge or something? I heard that the main stores of Cai Diexuan and Xiang Bao Zhai are in Shenjing. After saying hello to Xu Qing and Li Jingxu, Xu Wen began to talk to Lin Jing again.
"I'm afraid you're stupid with your brain, and you don't see how old I am, what kind of powder and rouge do you want. What idle books do I read all day long, and can I afford to buy stores like Cai Diexuan. Do you remember the last time you brought me the big red rouge that I gave to my mother, and I don't know how many people laughed at it. Lin Jing glanced at it and continued to help Lin Mu boil water and make tea.
"Hahaha" saw that he frowned, Xu Wen didn't say more, and left the tea shed with Xu Qing and Li Jingxu. However, the quiet old man glanced at it more, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
After a short time, a group of three people came to the carriage and horse shop located at the entrance of Qiliqiao Town. Xu's father and a coachman from the carriage and horse shop were waiting there. Leave aside the coachman in a coarse linen garment. Just looking at Xu's father wearing a long shirt and a long beard, he thought he was a gentleman if he didn't know him. Although Gainxu Fu is now a businessman, he has not left behind his earlier schoolwork. At the beginning, the husband who taught Xu's father still wanted Xu's father to develop in the imperial examination, but at that time, the Great Sui had not yet been unified, and it was when the war was in chaos, where could he still do learning, that is, Xu's father's private school in those years was very rare.
"I've seen Daddy. Hello Master Wu. Xu asked the two brothers to greet Xu Fu first, and then began to hand over Li Jingxu's affairs.
"Daddy, this is Li Jingxu and Li Daochang that I met today. Didn't you say that my mother had some headaches recently, and Daochang Li said that he could pray for his mother, as long as we brought him to Shenjing. He also said he could pass us on some tricks, and I agreed. Xu Wen explained. Don't look at Xu Wen's personality, but he is a very assertive person, like this kind of piggybacking on personal things along the way, Xu Wen can call the shots.
When Li Jingxu saw Xu Wen explain like this, he knew that Xu Wen did not regard himself as a master in the world. I didn't care about it at the moment, but I just made a mockery to Xu's father: "This time, there is a master of Lao Xu." ”
"It's not a big deal. When you go out, you can help more. It's just that we are just a carriage, for fear of wronging the Taoist. It's not too early, so let's go. Seeing this, Father Xu didn't say much, he looked at Li Jingxu slightly, and confirmed that he didn't have any blades, and he didn't look like a martial arts person, so he didn't care anymore.
So the group of five drove out of the town in a carriage. Today, Father Xu went to Shenjing, naturally not for any Sheji festival. It's just that Xu's father's carriage and horses are going to Shenjing to collect the accounts on the day of January 1. Bringing the two boys is mainly to let these two hairy boys get familiar with the process of debt collection, and make some preparations for taking over the carriage and horse shop in the future.
Father Xu, Xu Wen, Xu Qing, and Li Jingxu got into the carriage, and Master Wu drove in front. The carriage is not bad, and it is not too crowded for four people.
"Two little brothers, after all, this carriage is not as good as the quiet room, but it can't even teach the way of meditation and vomiting. I'll pray for Ling Ci first, and then I'll teach you some tricks when I'm in the middle of nowhere. After the four of them sat down and the carriage traveled for a while, Li Jingxu asked the two brothers of the Xu family.
"There's a long way to go." Although Xu Wen was a little curious about why he asked him about such things, he didn't care much about it, so he answered Li Jingxu.
After a few words, the carriage fell silent again, Xu's father was sleeping at the closing holiday, Li Jingxu didn't even cross his legs, and he didn't know whether he was really praying or simply resting.
Seeing this, the two brothers of the Xu family couldn't say anything, so they could only rest.
After a long time, it was finally noon, and the two horses pulling the cart had to rest. So when the carriage arrived at a post house, everyone got out of the carriage, and Master Wu led the horse to eat grass and drink water. Xu's father and his entourage went to the lobby of the post house to order some wine and food. Ordinary post houses naturally do not have such exquisiteness, but approaching the adjacent Shenjing, it is inevitable that there will be more exquisiteness.
asked Li Jingxu not to avoid meat and vegetables, and the group of four people ate well. After tea and dinner, the charter of resting for an hour was set, and Xu's father went to take a lunch break. Only the two brothers and Li Jingxu were left in the lobby.
"Two little brothers, this is also a rare free time. Let's teach you a little bit of breathing and breathing, so that you don't have nothing to do in the car. Li Jingxu saw that there was no arrangement for the time being, so he mentioned the matter of teaching one and a half moves earlier.
"There's a long way to go." Seeing that Li Jingxu insisted on teaching the two, Xu Wen did not object, but when Li Jingxu still wanted to ask for more teaching fees, he still didn't think about it.
After the three of them found a house in the backyard where no one was around, Li Jingxu began to teach.
"The old way's method is called "Stargazing Decision", which is to temper the will of the soul by thinking of the stars in the sky, and temper the mana and flesh by exhaling the aura of the sun and the moon. Not bad, either. Li Jingxu said this, paused, and saw that the two boys did not react, so he continued: "Wait for the old Taoist to cast an illusion, so that you can directly see Zhou Tian Xingshu, so that you can get started quickly." ”
After Li Jingxu finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two boys to react, he waved his hand, and the room went dark in an instant. I don't know how long it took, a little starlight lit up in the room in the void, and then two o'clock, three o'clock, and even countless starlight flickered in this small room, only decorating this ordinary room like the main palace of the sea of stars, the reflection of the heavenly river. When the two brothers first saw this spectacle, they couldn't help themselves for a while.
After a long time, Xu Qingxu asked before he came back to his senses, "The Taoist is really true." Only then did the two brothers know Li Jingxu's ability, so they saluted again: "The talented boy is rude, and I ask the Taoist chief to forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai with my eyes." ”
Seeing this, Li Jingxu only smiled slightly, and said: "Since the old Taoist said that he taught the two of them some tricks, he naturally would not break his word. ”
After saying this, Li Jingxu didn't say anything else, and said: "This week, the stars are luxuriant, I don't know which one the two of you are interested in." ”
"It's the one that looks like a Suzaku." But it was Xu Qing who spoke first, although like them, the seven or eight-year-old Huangkou had no knowledge, but fortunately, the four spirits and four elephants, the twenty-eight nights still knew it.
"In that case, I'll teach you the Vermilion Bird Star Decision later." Li Jingxu saw that Xu Qing already had a choice, so he looked at Xu and asked.
"When I saw the stars this week, I was happy and kind, but I didn't want to give up any of them." Seeing Xu Wen answer like this, Li Jingxu was about to pass on the Four Elephant Star Recipe to him.
"But for some reason, I always felt that some of the stars were not in the right place. And although I am happy to see this, I don't want to practice this star fight. Dao Leader can still visualize more Dharma final moves? Preferably the kind that the heavens are all-encompassing. After Xu Wen finished speaking, he looked at Li Jingxu, not feeling embarrassed by his words at all.
"My brother is obedient, please forgive me." Xu Qing saw that his brother made another request, and he was afraid that Li Jingxu would blame him, so he hurriedly said.
"It's okay, and I'm not afraid to tell you, although the old way is not true, it is also a famous family. You require me to have a law that is suitable, but the law cannot be passed on lightly, and you two have to worship the old way as a teacher. Li Jingxu saw that the time was good, and he no longer had any thoughts of taking the school for a few more days, so he simply proposed to accept the two as apprentices.
"Lao Dao is a second-generation disciple of the Tianhe Sword Sect, although he is not outstanding, he will not mislead people's children. And although my Tianhe Sword Sect is far away from the Western Regions, it is the authentic sect of the Central Plains, and it is one of the nine righteous sects of the Daomen today. It's not a grievance for you. Li Jingxu explained again, and then looked at the two boys.
Xu asked Xu Qing where he didn't know that the opportunity had come at this time, and he didn't care about anything else, he worshipped the teacher first.
"The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice."
