Chapter 33: Uncle Shi
I was dragged by the master to drive all night, and he said that it was a punishment for my foolishness, and even in the daytime I reversed the bus three or four times, and finally got on a donkey cart and went to a deserted place.
He was in a very bad mood, very bad, and I think he was a little embarrassed because he was disgraced in front of his own disciples.
"Master, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, it's not a big deal. You see your cheeks bulging like a toad. "I wanted to comfort him.
"You say I'm a toad?" The master squinted, and I sensed the danger.
"No, no, do it again, you see your cheeks bulging like a little donkey."
As expected, I was beaten on the ground by my master.
Where we are now is in a wasteland, with no village in front of us, no shops in front of us, and not even a road. The master didn't explain anything, but led me to the right direction.
Actually, now I want this kind of deserted place more because we get too much attention along the way. The main reason is that the master is dressed, the clothes are wide as if he is directly wrapped in a sheet, he is tied with a strip of cloth around his waist, a big cloth bag is hung, and he holds his sword in his hand, swaggering through the market, and pedestrians will always look at him twice. I love to behave, but I also think it's embarrassing.
After two days of trekking, I finally arrived at my destination, and the person who appeared in front of me was the image I thought I should be, even if his outfit was still a little out of line with modern times.
The white clothes and white robes are blowing in the wind, the two eyes are like small glowing bulbs, and the long black hair is tied with a crown on the top of his head, he is Uncle Chen.
"Old fellow, come and see my apprentice." The master shouted.
Uncle Chen came up and looked at me constantly, and the kindness in his eyes was like that of his disciple. "It's not easy, it's not easy. Tell me what's your name? ”
"Uncle Chen, my name is Yan Mingyi." I quickly replied, basic politeness is still understood.
"Okay, wait a minute." Uncle Chen began to search everywhere on his body.
"I don't want your greeting gift now, you prepare first, and we'll pick it up when we're done." The master saw what Uncle Chen meant. "Alright, it's time for us to go."
"Well, don't you come in for two days?" Uncle Chen was stunned.
"No, it's quite a lot." The master waved his hand and pulled me to leave.
I'm not going to do this, I've walked so much, I'll just come over and say a few words, let you show off as a master, and then don't take a break to eat, I'm leaving? Master, I'm not the thick tail that lets you casually insert your ass and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to eat." I sat on the ground and let the master drag my ass and rub it on the ground.
"I haven't fed you enough for any meal, stand up quickly, don't embarrass me." The master lifted me up with all his might.
"I don't care, I want to eat." I sat on the ground again.
"I've been doing a little bit well lately, so don't go." Uncle Chen interjected.
"No, you have to go." The master pulled me.
"Let's go." I broke free of my master and grabbed Uncle Chen's arm with a hippie smile and shook it. "Uncle Chen, would you like to be my master?"
"Okay, let's cook." The two of us entered the door.
I don't know when the master came in, but when the meal was ready, he sat at the table and waited all day.
"Fifth uncle, let's eat." I shouted loudly, and the master threw a chopstick on my head.
Since this is already the case, I have no choice but to stay. After eating, the two of them sat on the side and played chess, grabbing the chess pieces and thinking about it for a long time without moving, it was really too depressing.
After a while, my attention shifted to another place, a table in front of the window, on which there were a lot of cut rune paper, and a lot of messy patterns were drawn in a crooked way. Of course I know it's a sigil.
"Isn't Uncle Chen a sword immortal? Why do you draw symbols? "I'm curious.
"It's true that it's a sword immortal, but it can also draw some basic runes, but it's far worse than the rune seals." Uncle Chen replied.
"What the Sword Immortal has learned is very complicated, and he basically dabbles in it. Even in the Sword Immortal Sect, there are many branches, for example, I am good at attacking and killing, your Uncle Chen is good at health preservation, and Yin Guangyan, who drove me before, was a copper pea. ”
"What do you mean by copper peas?"
"I'm a copper pea that can't be steamed, can't be cooked, can't be hammered, can't be fried, and can't be fried when a copper pea, who teaches you to drill into his hoe constantly, can't cut it, can't untie it, and can't take off the slow and soaring mille-feuille brocade sleeve." The master smiled yinyin, and Uncle Chen also smiled, but he was helpless.
I didn't understand, and I didn't ask again, these rune paper aroused my great curiosity, picked up the pen and drew a few pictures of the gourd, and I didn't know what it did, but I felt that the patterns on the rune paper contained some great truths.
But I don't like black very much, I like red, and I just happened to see the cinnabar next to it, so let's draw a few pictures as well.
Each drawing has to be picked up and examined, not to mention that it still looks good. I found that there was a cloth bag next to it, why did the master and uncle like the cloth bag, there was a delicate bell in it, it was a Sanqing bell, I had seen the master also have such a one, but he didn't let me move. I picked it up lightly to see how it was structured, but no, I pulled off the tongue of the bell.
Quickly put it away as it was, accidentally touched the brush, and bent down to pick it up. When I got up, I found that the ink cartridge had been knocked over, and it happened to be fastened to a thick stack of runic paper drawn by Uncle Chen.
"Master, you can also tell me how to play this chess, at least let me understand it." I hugged my master by the neck from behind.
"This chess game, there is a rule, called watching chess and not saying a true gentleman, and it teaches you not to make a sound." The master replied, and then he suddenly raised his head, his body was a little stiff, and his eyes were straight, which startled Uncle Chen on the other side.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Chen didn't know why.
"Bunny!" The master was angry, he threw off my hand and took down a piece of rune paper behind his back, and after reading it, he was even more angry, "You put the corpse talisman on me!" See I don't beat you! ”
"Don't fight, don't fight, I'm just curious about what these runes are for, you're busy playing chess and no one pays attention to me." I raised my hands in surrender.
"It's good to be studious, don't hit your child." Uncle Chen protected me under his wings, "Uncle Chen came to tell you how to distinguish the rune paper." ”
But when Uncle Chen turned around to take the talisman paper, he suddenly stood on the spot.
When I left with my master the next day, I saw Uncle Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
After another four and a half days of winding and turning, we finally arrived at the mountain gate. It's a far cry from the spacious gate I imagined, and the Taoist boy guarded it.
In fact, there are three or four thatched huts here!
What's more, at least the scenery is beautiful, the flowers and birds are pleasant, there are none. The so-called mountain gate is on the top of a stone mountain, the lower half is buried in the endless yellow sand, and the way up the mountain is full of graves one after another, not even tombstones, stretching to the farther and taller mountains, which does not seem to be ordinary for a long time.
To sum up, the so-called mountain gate is actually a few thatched huts surrounded by tombs.
The master said that people's attitudes are always changing, and don't think that what I hate now is that I will hate it forever. What's more, what I hate is the grave, or the death of the grave representative, and I don't know the story behind the grave, but the heroes who lie here.
It's already here, and there's nothing more to say, my learning with the master has officially begun, and he also let me continue to go to school. I was sternly warned not to tell my classmates where I lived, but in fact, I also thought in my heart that no one wanted to come because of the distance between the school and the mountain gate.
