Chapter 16: Apprenticeship

When I returned to the altar after sprinkling water, I saw that Mr. Yang's face had gradually turned pale. The long sword in the yellow strip of cloth not only injured Mr. Yang, but also caused him to lose ten years of life?

Although all these calamities have been solved, the evil qi in my body has not been expelled, and if Mr. Yang is really injured, then I ...... What should I do?

Mr. Yang suddenly appeared in front of me and said with a smile: "Seventh year of junior high school, what do you want?" Are you bothered by the evil aura in your body? ”

I didn't deny it, I nodded immediately, maybe a person came to the world, the only purpose is to live, so no one wants to die, I have been suffering for so many years, naturally I cherish this rotten life very much, if possible, the only thing I want in my heart is to find the parents who gave birth to me, or know who I am, where I came from, where my home used to be, or even ...... I would love to have a name of my own, a name with a surname, not the seventh day of junior high school......

"Mr. Yang." I bowed my head in front of Mr. Yang and said with some grievances, "How long can I live?" ”

Who knew that Mr. Yang actually laughed: "The seventh day of the first month, how long you can live depends on how long God has given you, and I am not the judge in charge of the book of life and death, how can I know?" But I know you can't die at least right now. ”

I suddenly raised my head and asked excitedly, "Mr. Yang!" I really...... Don't you really have to die? Can you save me? ”

Mr. Yang smiled casually: "Of course, but what...... On the seventh day of the first month, if I want to save you, I will use Maoshan Taoism, Maoshan Patriarch said, my sect Taoism cannot be passed on, and future generations naturally cannot violate it, so if you want to use my Maoshan Taoism, you must worship under my door and become a disciple of Maoshan, so that I can pass on your secret skills to save myself, but if you use other methods, you can also do it, so you don't have to apprentice to the teacher, but I am worried that your time is short, alas, ......"

My eyes lit up, I couldn't believe my ears, I looked at Mr. Yang again, I saw him looking at me very sincerely, I had no reason to warm my heart, I grew up I lived in the disgust and rejection of others, sometimes I didn't eat will run to the wild mountains more than ten miles away to pick fruits, sometimes digging grass roots to eat, sometimes ...... I have been starving for days, and I am now sixteen years old, but I have suffered all kinds of suffering, and what kind of sins I have suffered.

Mr. Yang's ability is so great, if he follows him in the future, then he won't starve all day, maybe there is still a place to live, maybe ...... There is also a decent dress to wear, thinking about it, my tears unconsciously flowed out, Mr. Yang looked at me with a slightly surprised look, maybe he didn't understand how I was feeling now, it was because he was too excited and happy.

I "plopped!" He knelt down in front of Mr. Yang and said, "Mr. Yang, I am willing to worship you as a teacher, so you can accept me as an apprentice!" ”

Mr. Yang, who was still surprised, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "I thought you were worried that the yin qi in your body would not be cured, hehe!" Since you are willing to worship under my door, it means that we do have a master-apprentice relationship, you are born with a strange fate, and the fortune of bad luck depends on the surrounding body, but anyone who approaches you will be unlucky, maybe this is also the reason why you have a relationship with the Tao, I Yang Yuanshan is not talented, so I will accept you as an official initiation disciple! ”

I hurriedly kowtowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" ”

Mr. Yang pulled me up at the right time, and said with a wry smile: "Even if I accept you now, there is no way to apprentice like you, well, time is pressing, those red tape is exempt, presumably Master Zu will understand, originally my sect wanted to carve a soul talisman card for you, only holding the soul talisman card can be regarded as an official disciple of the Maoshan Sect, but ...... Or, as a teacher, you can be listed as a registered disciple for the time being, and he will make you a soul talisman card in the future. ”

I was immediately puzzled, "Master, what is the Soul Talisman Card?" ”

Mr. Yang seemed to be very satisfied with my title of "master", and immediately smiled happily: "The soul talisman card is equivalent to a person's status symbol, and now every family has a household registration certificate, our Maoshan Sect's soul talisman card is not only shown to the world, but also the ancestor of the nine heavens also has the mark of your disciple grandson, and in the future, the practice of going up to the gods and going down to the Nine Secluded Mansion, people also know what you do, hehe, as for the other wonderful uses of the soul talisman card for the teacher, I will not say it for the time being, you will understand in the future, Okay, now you can rely on the altar here, first bow to the ancestor of Maoshan on incense. ”

I followed Mr. Yang's instructions, lit the three pillars of incense, bowed three times to the altar, and then kowtowed nine more times, at this point, I stood up and shouted happily, "Master! ”

Mr. Yang, who is now my master, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Well, in the future, you will be the forty-fifth generation registered disciple of my Maoshan Tantric Sect, and when the master makes a soul talisman card for you in the future, you will be my disciple who has entered the room!" ”

At this moment, before I could answer, I saw Mr. Wu running over in a hurry, and then walked to the master's side with his hands squeezed and said, "Mr. Yang, you have even accepted the unlucky ghost on the seventh day of the first month, so what I told you earlier ......"

Master shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Daoist friends' cultivation heart is not worse than mine, we should be commensurate with our peers, if you have any experience in the Dao in the future, you can learn with me." ”

I don't understand that Mr. Wu is here to eat and drink, I came to the master's door to cure my illness, and secondly, I will have a support in the future, so as not to starve to death, so what is Mr. Wu Da's picture? Can't figure it out......

Uncle Tuesday set up a spiritual shed, and then came to me and said with a smile: "The child has a hard life, more than ten years of loneliness, now since there is Mr. Yang to take care of it, then I will rest assured, the seventh day of the first month, it is inevitable to learn from Mr. Yang in the future, remember to do more good deeds, for the benefit of the people, this time, I also hope you always remember." ”

Uncle Tuesday's family has taken care of me for many years, and in this village it is better to be a relative than a relative, although I don't quite understand what Uncle Tuesday meant, but I still nodded my head in agreement.

Master stepped forward and hugged his fists to Mr. Wu Da and Uncle Tuesday and said, "As soon as this matter is over, I want to help Chu Qi expel the yin and evil qi in my body as soon as possible, so we should also go." ”

"How?" Uncle Tuesday was a little surprised and reluctantly said: "Mr. Yang, you can't leave in the middle of the night, you have done our Zhou family such a great favor, we haven't repaid you yet, although the village is not rich, but let me talk about the heart, live here for a few days and then leave?" ”

Master shook his head and smiled: "Your Zhou family should not have this bad luck, this matter is all because my Tantric Sect and the Sutra Sect are fighting over one piece...... Besides, I'm used to traveling everywhere, so take care! ”

After speaking, the master did not have any intention of staying, and when he turned his head, he glanced at me and motioned for me to follow, so I followed the master on the road, and after walking a few steps, Uncle Tuesday's voice suddenly sounded again: "The seventh day of the first month!" Wait a minute! ”

Master didn't stop again, and walked straight up the mountain road, and I stopped and turned around, Uncle Tuesday walked quickly to me, reached out and stuffed a small cloth bag into my hand, I touched it suspiciously, and suddenly opened my mouth wide in surprise and said, "This is ...... Big Silver Dollar?! ”

Uncle Tuesday smiled bitterly: "Second Uncle doesn't have any belongings, this one is to express his gratitude to your master, and the other is ...... The seventh day of the first month, I don't know if we will be able to meet in the future, and the second uncle has no ability to help you anymore, do you remember to live well......"

Speaking of this, Uncle Tuesday's eyes were already rosy, but my tears had already rolled down my cheeks, I hurriedly returned the silver dollar to Uncle Tuesday, and said, "Second Uncle, I have a master now, and besides, your family is not rich, I can't ask for this money, you can take it back." ”

Uncle Tuesday's eyes suddenly widened, to be honest, I was still afraid of Uncle Tuesday's temper, but immediately he stuffed the small cloth bag into my hand with a pleasant face, and instructed: "Take it well, listen to Master's words more in the future, let's go." ”

Tears welled up in my eyes again, I nodded silently, and then turned my head to chase after Masterβ€”

I don't know why, I am still walking on the mountain road belonging to Eighteen Mile Village at this time, and this feeling is so wonderful and comfortable, as if there is no such good place in the world, and there is no Uncle Tuesday who is so good to me again......

I hurried to catch up with Master and wipe away my tears, Master's steps seemed to be heavy, completely different from when I saw him last night, as if every step he took was very difficult, and ...... His face turned even paler, could it be that the sword really injured the master? I hurriedly ran ahead and asked eagerly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Master waved his hand slowly, and said, "I was injured by the Cloth Evil Sword on my back, and now I need to find a quiet place to rest for a while as soon as possible, well, I have thought of someone now, we can go to him, and besides, you need him to do a great favor!" ”

"Busy? Master, who is he? "I don't understand who wants to help me, is there anything my master can't help?

When Master saw me asking, he sighed inexplicably and said, "Speaking of this person, alas...... He was your uncle back then, that is, my senior brother, and now he ...... But it's an outcast from Maoshan Mountain! ”
