"Master, are you thirsty? I'll make you a pot of good Biluo Spring. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info," said the thin man flatteringly.

"Don't be thirsty, don't drink!" Daoist Chen sat on a Taishi chair, his face like frost.

"Master, are you tired too? You have bad legs and feet, I will pinch you to get rid of fatigue. "The horse thin man has the second trick of sycophancy.

"I'm not tired, I'll be clean when I die." Daoist Chen said coldly.

"Oh, Master." Ma Slender smiled awkwardly, "You think you have to give me a chance to correct my mistakes, right?" If you're angry, just throw it on the two of us, or you'll be so angry with yourself. ”

Zheng Pei looked at the thin man in amazement, what does it mean to be angry and sprinkle on the two of us?

Daoist Chen snapped the one-foot-long bamboo strip in his hand on the table, and said sharply: "You two boys honestly kneel for me!" Don't be flamboyant with me! ”

In the north room of Ma Shouzi's paper shop, Ma Shouzi and Zheng Pei knelt in front of Daoist Chen. Ma Slender Man was drunk and messing around, dragging the master to get him home. And Zheng Pei was so disrespectful to his master that he actually kicked his master.

"Tell me about the two of you!" Daoist Chen smacked the bamboo stick on the table again, "Such a big person is still five or six all day long, where do you let my face as a master go?" ”

Zheng Pei's face was flushed with shame, and he didn't know how to make amends to this old man. He stole a glance at the thin man kneeling next to him, only to find that he was completely fine, plucking his ears and eyes with his little fingers.

"It's not in shape all day! Now that you're all older, I can't take care of it, so you can carry forward this little bit of my ability! Chen Dao reprimanded angrily, "You can't go to heaven now, and you can't go to the ground!" If you don't have fame, you can't make money! Daoist Chen pointed a finger at the head of the thin man, "Ma Shou, why did you send me such a little money recently, did you let the dog eat your money and conscience?" ”

"Master." Ma Slender said with a sad face, "Now that my life is better, the medical level is higher, and I don't fight, no one has come to my store for a long time, how can I have money." ”

"Fart!" Daoist Chen stood up from the Taishi chair suddenly, "You made so much money last winter, how much did you send me?" You have so much money left in the bank, and you don't know how much interest you have, so you don't have garlic for me! ”

Ma Shouzi saw that the master had stood up, and said busily: "Oh, Master, don't get excited, can't I go back and make up for you some more?" ”

Daoist Chen turned his face to Zhang Pei and pointed a finger at his head, originally wanting to be angry. But he was suddenly in a trance, the expression on his face switched between annoyance and loss for a moment, and he slowly lowered the outstretched fingers. He sighed heavily, put his hands on his laps, and pursed his lips without squeaking.

"Master......" Ma Shouzi quickly answered, "Last week, someone asked me to do a Dharma service, and I earned a little more." I'll give it to you when the time comes, you think I'm filial enough, right? ”

Daoist Chen nodded silently and said, "You kid, it's the clay pot on the kiln, and you talk and do things in one way." You must have accepted the ghost, handed it over to the Yin soldiers to earn merit, and received the benefits of others, and even took what you wanted. Right? ”

Ma Slender was tricked by the master, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, Master, look at what you said." Isn't your apprentice just to send more money to your old man? ”

Daoist Chen snorted disdainfully and did not speak.

Ma Slender Man sneered and quickly stood up. He arched his hand at Daoist Chen and said, "Master, you sit and rest for a while, and I'll buy you something to eat." Would you rather eat pancakes or fritters? ”

Daoist Chen snorted coldly again and said, "People are old, and they can't eat those things that wrap their teeth." You can go to the south room and cook me some gruel. ”

"Gotcha!" The thin man said with a smile, his eyes were almost squeezed out by his chubby face. "Master, you are paying more and more attention to your health now, drinking porridge is not only money-saving and nutritious, but also very good for your old body."

Daoist Chen smiled and said, "It's not that the old man pays attention to health preservation, but he really doesn't have any money at hand, and he can't even afford to eat rice." You gave me the money you bought in cash, and gave me a piece when I left. ”

Watching Ma Slender go to the south room to make porridge, Zheng Pei thought to himself, these two masters are greedy for money, what kind of master teaches what kind of apprentice.

"Son, get up." Daoist Chen beckoned Zheng Pei to sit on the bench next to him, changed his stinginess when he was with Ma Slender just now, and asked gently, "Your name is Zheng Pei, right?" ”

Zheng Pei nodded lightly. Although he was surprised how the old man's attitude changed so quickly, his doubts did not show on his face.

Daoist Chen suddenly became silent. He hesitated for a long time, and finally asked a question: "How did you and Wu Pang's child meet?" ”

Zheng Pei explained in detail the battle between Wu Pang and Ba Niang and the process of him and Wu Pang sealing Ba Niang together.

Daoist Chen nodded silently as he listened, as if the scenes of those fights were right in front of his eyes. When Zheng Pei finished speaking, he wiped his hands on his pants, but still didn't say a word.

In this embarrassing silence, Zheng Pei keenly noticed that Daoist Chen's throat was slightly stalked, and although his eyes tried his best to avoid making eye contact with Zheng Pei, Zheng Pei still saw a trace of tears flickering.

"Kid......" Daoist Chen cleared his throat and asked, "When Wu Pang died... Pleasure? ”

Zheng Pei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "He... He was stuck in the chest by Ba Niang's claws, and he was out of breath at that time..."Zheng Pei raised his head and immediately added, "But after he died, he still grabbed Ba Niang's wrist tightly, so that I could have a chance to seal her off." I think your apprentice is quite a gentleman..."

Daoist Chen nodded, as if he recognized Zheng Pei's evaluation. He rubbed his face with his hands, hid his sad expression instantly, looked at Zheng Pei and asked, "What else did he leave for you?" Where are these things now? ”

Zheng Pei thought for a moment and said, "There is also a pair of copper cymbals, a book and a few pills. These things are in my dorm now, and I'll get them back to you in a moment. ”

Daoist Chen waved his hand and said, "Since it is something that Wu Pang passed on to you, it is his choice and intention, and it can be regarded as a fate between us." People are gone, what else do I want to do with those things. I think you will be a Taoist sooner or later, so you can keep those things and use them, and you can be regarded as inheriting the mantle of my sect. ”

When Zheng Pei heard this, he said in embarrassment: "Master Chen, I have already joined the sect. ”

"Might as well!" Daoist Chen waved his hand, "Anyway, these two guys can't make it and can't learn it." And I'm not going to let anyone else go down that path anymore. You keep the cymbals away, that thing can save lives. You also have to read the book carefully, learn as much as you can, it's all a spell to subdue demons and subdue demons, and it will be useful. It doesn't matter if you don't want to join my sect, these things can be regarded as repaying your kindness for saving Ma Shou once last time. ”

Daoist Chen's tough kindness, Zheng Pei couldn't shirk it, so he had to thank Daoist Chen with a smile.

"If I waive your entry fee of three hundred yuan, would you be willing to join our sect?" Daoist Chen stretched his neck and suddenly asked in a low voice.

Zheng Pei smiled and shook his head.

"Didn't you come without your room and board?" Daoist Chen looked at Zheng Pei's lean figure, but still didn't give up.

Zheng Pei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master Chen, I really have a sect. ”

"Humph!" Daoist Chen angrily twisted his face to the other side, pouting and not speaking.

Da Da Da ~

The thin man ran in hurriedly from the outside and said excitedly, "Master, it's time to live!" ”

Daoist Chen frowned and said, "I finally went to the next mountain, and you kid can't let me be quiet for two days?" Don't go! ”

Ma Slender said with a smiling face: "I just rely on Master's profound Taoism to dare to take on a big job when you come!" Then he walked up to Daoist Chen with a wicked smile on his face, "Master, this time it's 'Jiang Mi Tiao', people come up with this number!" After that, the thin man compared a number of eight with his hand and shook it in front of Daoist Chen.

"Humph!" Although Daoist Chen didn't agree, the number eight couldn't be pulled out in his eyes. He grabbed Ma Thinzi's hand and said, "This time, I'll leave after we split the account." You're three, I'm seven! ”

"Oh, my good master!" Ma Slender grabbed Daoist Chen up from the Taishi's chair, "Can't you just let the apprentice take more?" I'm going to run four people right away, and I don't even have a partner! ”

Daoist Chen stood still with his legs propped up, and said stubbornly: "Master feels sorry for you, but at least four or six, you are four and I are six, and I will not leave one point less!" ”

Ma Slender smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, four or six is forty-six." When I go back to see you, don't give me cabbage and tofu every day, but also give me a meal of meat. ”

Daoist Chen nodded with satisfaction and walked outside the house with square steps.

"Zheng Pei, you come too!" Ma Slender hurriedly beckoned Zheng Pei, who was standing on the side at a loss, to follow, "You also work with us." When it's over, I'll give you a share! ”

Before Zheng Pei could think about it, he was dragged away by Ma Thinzi. As he walked, he asked in wonder: "Shopkeeper Ma, what is this 'Jiangmi Strip' you are talking about?" ”
