"What did you say?" The old man, who had lived for so many years, understood the meaning of Mao Xiaomeng's words in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "You mean to say that Shaohua took you as an apprentice, and then you took him as an apprentice?" ”

Mao Xiaomeng nodded.

"Crazy, crazy, a monster has taken the Taoist priest as an apprentice," the old man walked out of the counter, standing in the middle of the room and going back and forth in a circle, muttering in a low voice.

"By the way, no one knows your identity, right?" Suddenly, the old man looked up and asked Mao Xiaomeng and Wang Shuo.

Mao Xiaomeng shook his head and said: "No, he has only been practicing with me for a few days, and there is only one Taoist priest who has really come into contact with him during this period, and we have a small fight with him." ”

"That's good, that's good," the old man nodded with satisfaction, thought for a moment and instructed: "You two remember, you must not call each other as master and apprentice when you are outside, otherwise, you are likely to be entangled." ”

"Actually, I don't really understand," at this time, Wang Shuo on the side frowned and said, "Why do you care so much about me worshipping her as a teacher?" ”

"Hmph," the old man snorted coldly and said: "Eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao Eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao, the monster is a member of the demon and the monster, and now you are a Taoist priest who worships a monster as a master, so what will you do to get rid of the demon guard in the future?" ”

"Uh," Wang Shuo choked and couldn't speak.

"Okay," the old man waved his hand with some annoyance and said, "As long as you don't let outsiders know your identity in the future, girl, if someone asks, you will say that you are a substitute teacher to accept apprentices, but you must not take it out to show off, and there is nothing to say about turning your master into an apprentice." ”

Mao Xiaomeng hurriedly nodded and agreed.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and saw that Wang Shuo was still standing there holding three brushes, and couldn't help glaring at the young man and said, "Xiao Jin, why is you so blind, hurry up and go to the back room to find an idle storage bag for him." ”

"Oh," the young man replied, turning and entering the back room through the small door, and in a few moments he returned, with a small black and gray cloth bag in his hand.

"Here," the old man took the small cloth bag and turned around and handed it to Wang Shuo, and then didn't forget to point out: "This is a storage bag, although there is not much space inside, but it can also hold some props that you need to do things, you can take it first and let the girl teach you how to master it after you go back." ”

"Thank you," Wang Shuo thanked again and again, took the storage bag, put it in his hand, looked at it, and put it in his pocket.

The old man talked to the two of them for a while, and waited until someone came in from outside, and waved them to buy other props first, and then come here at half past five in the afternoon to have a meal together.

Walking out of the door of Bixuan, Wang Shuo and Mao Xiaomeng stood on the street and breathed a sigh of relief, this old man is so good at talking, he can talk to you about all kinds of topics from all walks of life, fortunately they have two people, otherwise, it is really difficult for one person to deal with him.

"Whew," taking a breath, Mao Xiaomeng turned his head to look left and right, and saw that no one on the street noticed this, raised his hand to help Wang Shuo put the three brushes in his hand into his pocket, and walked forward with him relaxed.

"What's next?" Wang Shuo followed behind her, and asked her as he continued to look at the landscape that he hadn't seen enough before.

Mao Xiaomeng snapped her fingers and counted in a low voice: "The brush is bought, and then there are inkstones, money swords, peach wood swords, copper bells and copper tripods and clothes crowns, by the way, you have to buy more yellow paper and incense, and it will be fifteen in a few days, and we still have to incense the third sister." ”

The two chatted while walking, and soon walked forward for a distance, at this time, Mao Xiaomeng looked up at a shop called Yange on the side, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be this, let's go in and have a look." ”

The two walked into the shop called Yan Pavilion one after the other, and saw an old man with silver hair sitting at the counter in the room, she heard the voice and looked up, especially looked at the cat Xiaomeng carefully, as if to confirm something, after a while, she smiled at the cat Xiaomeng and beckoned and said: "Girl, the old man in front of Bixuan has already greeted me, it's the little cat of the third sister, come over and let the fourth aunt take a look." ”

"It seems that the old man still recognizes my identity," Mao Xiaomeng muttered with satisfaction, and walked to the old man, first identifying the bracelet on the other party's wrist, then relaxed his guard, and greeted him very politely: "Hello fourth aunt, by the way, your name is Zhao Lili, right?" ”

"What Zhao Lili, it's Zheng Lili, your girl's vigilance is really heavy, worthy of being a cat fairy," the old man named Zheng Lili patted Mao Xiaomeng's little head with some dissatisfaction, and then, she looked up at Wang Shuo, noticed that the essence on his body was not bad, and then nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's okay, the essence absorbed by the vomit is also quite pure, give, this is a meeting gift for you." ”

Wang Shuo thanked him again and again, raised his hands to take the things handed over by the other party, and put them in front of him to look carefully before recognizing that this was an inkstone made of red stones. ”

"That's an inkstone made of a very pure cinnabar stone," Mao Xiaomeng turned her head and explained to him in a whisper, and quickly turned back to talk to Zheng Lili.

"Okay," chatting for a while, Zheng Lili patted Mao Xiaomeng's little hand with great relief and said, "Let's talk about this first, it's not too early now, you better go and buy all the things you should buy first, otherwise, you will have to wait another day when everyone else closes." By the way, the reason why you can find this place is because the third sister once said the name of our store, then you should have guessed, that's right, we are all sworn brothers and sisters of the third sister, you don't have to be on guard in the past, you can just take your things when you get there. ”

Very embarrassed to smile, Mao Xiaomeng took Wang Shuo to say goodbye to her, turned around and walked out of the door of the store.

Letting Mao Xiaomeng help put away the inkstone in her hand, Wang Shuo followed her slowly and walked forward, and after walking a short distance, she saw a shop called Yiguanfang.

"Is this it?" Wang Shuo pointed to the name of the store to Mao Xiaomeng and asked.

"It should be," Mao Xiaomeng muttered and took the lead and walked in.

"Why are you here so late?" An old man with white hair sat at the counter, heard the door open and looked up at the two people who pushed the door in, and after a while stood up to greet him, complaining with a smile on his face.

"Hmm," Mao Xiaomeng was about to speak, but she didn't want the old man to interrupt her and said, "I guess it must be that woman Zheng Lili who dragged you on for so long, right?" ”

Mao Xiaomeng hurriedly shook her head and wanted to explain, but she didn't want the old man to wave her hand directly and said, "Okay, let's not pay attention to that woman anymore, come and take a look at the Dao robe and Dao crown." ”

"Alas," seeing this, Mao Xiaomeng could only sigh helplessly, pulled Wang Shuo's arm and pushed him to the front, but he stood behind but didn't say a word.

Wang Shuo tried on all kinds of Taoist robes he gave himself under the old man's fiddling, and finally chose a dark yellow Taoist robe with black stripes and a yin and yang gossip pattern on the back, and then after some tossing, he chose a dao crown that was also printed with a yin and yang gossip pattern.

"Okay, let's do it," the old man looked Wang Shuo's clothes up and down, and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown He looked very imposing, and his face couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

"Okay, hurry up and go to the next one, the second one must have been waiting impatiently," didn't give the two a chance to talk at all, and the old man was about to push the two out after evaluating himself.

"Hmph, I know I'm going to be impatient and don't send someone to me quickly," Suddenly, a white-haired old man walked in from outside the gate, he snorted coldly and took out two things from his arms, Wang Shuo took a closer look before he reacted, this person should be holding the money sword and the peach wood sword that he was about to buy.

"Here," the old man who came in from outside came to Wang Shuo's and handed him the two small swords in his hand, and as soon as he turned around, he grabbed the little hand of Mao Xiaomeng who was standing aside, and touched the bracelet on her wrist with emotion and longing.

Wang Shuo blinked when he saw this, and hurriedly ran to the side of the room to study the two small swords in his hand.

Money swords are also called copper coin swords, because general money swords are made of copper coins.

Wang Shuo first checked the number of copper coins on the money sword, and finally found that there were a total of one hundred and eight copper coins on the money sword, and a red rope was interspersed in the middle.

"What for?" At this time, the old man in spun clothes walked over, and he squatted beside Wang Shuo and rushed at him.

Wang Shuo glanced up at Mao Xiaomeng's side, and found that they were still talking with each other, so he didn't plan to go over, and raised the money sword in his hand at the old man and said, "I'm looking at this." ”

"Oh," the old man nodded, watching Wang Shuo fiddle with the Money Sword and the Mahogany Sword with a softness on his face.

"Boom."

Just as Wang Shuo had just put away his curiosity, he heard a loud bang suddenly from the gate of the clothed spinning house, and saw a somewhat strong and tall old man standing there, with a brass bell and a brass tripod on his left and right sides.

"Bastard, what about you? Where did the death go? Lao Tzu waited in the store for a long time and didn't wait for anyone, did you stop people here and not let them go? The old man stood at the gate and opened his mouth to complain loudly.

"Old Five, how can you still be in a rage when you are such a big person, which makes the children see how bad," the old man who was talking to Mao Xiaomeng near the door frowned and scolded the old man at the door.

"Second brother, you also came to the door?" The old man coughed dryly, and slowly grew smaller while laughing a little embarrassedly.

Wang Shuo, who was squatting inside, couldn't help but sigh lightly when he looked at the situation at the door.

"He used to get bigger because he pasted a strong charm, and when he took off the strong charm, it would naturally change back to its original state," Wang Shuo explained to the old man.

"Girl, you are the apprentice of the third sister, quickly call the fifth uncle and let me listen," At this time, the old man at the door also gathered in front of Mao Xiaomeng, and he took Mao Xiaomeng's other hand and asked her.

"Nonsense, it's okay to talk about it at home, wouldn't it be bad if outsiders heard it. Besides, this girl is much older than you and me, how can you be embarrassed to say it," the old man, who was called the second brother, turned his head and scolded the old man who had just arrived.

At this time, the cat Xiaomeng who was surrounded in the middle was devastated, she really wanted to go home, by the way, where did her apprentice go?
