Chapter 53: The Irresistible Apprenticeship
Shangguan Xiuer left very simply this time, and decisively took away the two Shi Miao's followers, and from then on, Shi Miao finally didn't have to endure the unreasonable harassment of that cousin.
Tongyun Dojo seems to have regained its former calm and vitality again, but at the morning meeting every day, Lu Tong no longer teaches the Dripping Dao Method, but focuses on the new Xuanjia Dao Method.
As for the disciples who are still practicing the Dripping Dao Method, they can be taught by Shi Miao after the morning meeting, and Lu Tong occasionally assists in giving guidance.
After all, Lu Tong's own time is limited, and he still has to focus on his own personal disciples, outer disciples, and registered disciples who enter the realm faster.
Moreover, because of the last time he burned the Dripping Water Dao Dharma Diagram in public, it had actually left a lot of room for those disciples who were one step slower to comprehend, enough for them to digest for a long time.
Therefore, Shi Miao's pressure is not great, and her focus is still on following Lu Tong to practice the Xuanjia Dao Method, as well as fighting with Chao Dongyang.
I have to say that today's Chao Dongyang is still a well-deserved elder brother. Even if his Dao method is not as good as Shi Miao's, and his roots and bones are a lot behind, his real combat strength is not comparable to Shi Miao's.
And Shi Miao, as the second senior sister of Lu Tong, is also logical, and no one dares to challenge except Chao Dongyang.
Although Shi Miao's Xuanjia Dao method has also been completed, the last section of the road from Dacheng to perfection is really not easy, and it is bound to be more difficult and long than the drip method.
It was very fulfilling and comfortable, and Shi Miao felt that her days in Tongyun Dojo were much more comfortable than before.
and the two new sisters, Su Tingcheng and Zhu Qingning, all made Shi Miao very happy, especially the wine in Qingning Restaurant and the beast meat hot pot that she had never seen before, which simply opened up a new world for Shi Miao, who loves food.
Yes, this hot pot with monster meat at the bottom of the pot was brought by Lu Tong, and it was praised by the master and sister in the past on the mountain.
Nowadays, the introduction of it into Qingning Restaurant is even more popular, and it has become a new fashion in Tongyun Dojo.
Especially in the cold winter, it is a great pleasure for relatives and friends to sit in a circle, eat hot pot and drink wine.
In addition to Lu Tong and Zhu Qingning, Lu Tong's two personal disciples Chao Dongyang and Shi Miao, plus a particularly favored Su Tingcheng as a companion.
Even Li Wei, the only outer disciple, didn't have a chance to go to the table, it wasn't that Lu Tong snubbed him, it was really this guy who couldn't let go in front of Shizun and Zhongmei, and he no longer participated.
On the third day and second watch after Shi Miao's formal apprenticeship, the Qingning Restaurant in the depths of the bamboo forest was still brightly lit, and several people in the private room arrived as promised to set up a hot pot.
"Allure, come and sit down and have a drink with my sister, they don't know how to taste wine, and you have to do it." Zhu Qingning's eyebrows were red, and she was in a slightly drunken state, pulling Su Qingcheng, who was busy before and after, and insisted on letting her sit between herself and Lu Tong.
Su Chengcheng's face turned red, and he looked at Lu Tong with a little restraint, at a loss. When Lu Tong was present, she was actually not so comfortable.
"Sit down, just listen to Sister Ning's orders. Lu Tong's expression was warm, and he did not have the slightest majesty in his ordinary preaching.
As for this Sister Shengning, Zhu Qingning took the initiative to ask for it. In order not to expose Zhu Qingning's high-ranking identity, Lu Tong also took advantage of the trend and did not commensurate himself with his senior sister in front of others.
"Yes, Master Lu. Su Qingcheng bowed, and then Lianbu moved lightly, sitting beside Zhu Qingning, and glanced at Lu Tong from time to time from the corner of his eye.
Under the candlelight, Lu Tong's side face lines were soft, handsome and unparalleled, as if shining, Su Chengcheng felt drunk before he had even drunk.
Lu Tong didn't seem to feel Su Chengcheng's gaze, so he just had a big bowl of sea drinks with Chao Dongyang occasionally, and he had to remind Shi Miao to eat slowly from time to time and keep some of it.
"Senior sister, come, do one!" Chao Dongyang raised the big bowl again and held it in front of Shi Miao, but Shi Miao rolled his eyes back.
Whoever dares to stop her from grabbing meat with Zhu Qingning is her Shi Miao's current enemy. Moreover, what if the meat is cooked and old?
Lu Tong just looked at it with a smile, and seemed to have returned to the original world in a trance, and in the winter at that time, there were relatives, friends and hot pot companions.
"Before I knew it, I had completely integrated into this new world...... "Lu Tong sighed secretly.
When the wine was drunk, Li Wei's respectful voice came from outside the door, "Master, Shangguan Xiuer is visiting and is waiting downstairs." ”
"Come here so late to join in the fun?" Lu Tong snorted and raised his voice: "Bring him in." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Soon, the door opened, and Shangguan Xiu'er, who was dressed in a dark red robe, walked into the private room alone and closed the door.
The tip of his nose twitched at first, and then his eyes lit up, and he felt dazzled by the three beauties in the room.
But he was very sad to find that the appearance he used to be proud of had no use here.
Yes, he was ignored.
It's just that Lu Tong and Chao Dongyang are not interested in him, and Shi Miao doesn't say anything, why do the two beauties who made him salivate last time also turn a blind eye to him?
"Could it be that my charm has declined? isn't it more attractive than this food and wine?" Shangguan Xiu'er was a little skeptical.
However, this never-before-seen delicacy, the bubbling cauldron, seems to be really good.
Shangguan Xiuer swallowed his saliva, didn't wait for new saliva to overflow, hurriedly broke the embarrassment, faced up to Lu Tong, who had been in a good time, and said respectfully: "Daoist Lu, Xiuer took the liberty to visit again, and also brought a sincerely prepared apprenticeship ceremony, and Wanwang Daoist accepted me as an apprentice regardless of his previous suspicions." ”
Lu Tong put down the wine bowl in his hand, stretched out his hand and invited: "Shangguan Daoist has come from afar, why don't you sit down and eat something first?"
"Okay!" Shangguan Xiuer was about to agree, when he suddenly felt that the originally lively private room was cold, and several pairs of beautiful eyes swept at the same time, one more obvious than the other refused.
Shangguan Xiu'er, who was well versed in women's thoughts, knew that he must not go against the trend at this time, so he hurriedly took a step back and said: "It's just that apprenticeship is important, Xiu'er's heart, and I also ask Lu Daoshi to learn clearly." ”
The three pairs of eyes continued to ignore Shangguan Xiu'er, returned to the table again, and ate meat and drank wine by themselves, but their voices were deliberately quieter.
"It seems that you are ready to join my Tongyun Dojo sincerely?" Lu Tong asked this time by sitting slightly upright and with burning eyes.
"Yes, Xiu'er has broken the Heavenly Dao oath with his father, and entrusted the disciples he had received in the past to the Hongyun Dojo, but now he is alone, and he also asked Lu Daoist to take him in. Shangguan Xiuer's posture was very low, and even gave people a sense of homelessness.
"Are you so sure, I'll take you?" Lu Tong asked with a little surprise and curiosity.
"Even if Daoist Lu doesn't accept me as an apprentice, Xiu'er is determined to join the Tongyun Dojo, and he is willing to be an observer disciple. Shangguan Xiu'er replied fluently.
"This is the apprenticeship I brought to Master Lu Dao, please smile. Shangguan Xiu'er almost didn't give Lu Tong a chance to refuse, and the light in his hand flashed, revealing the heavy gift he had prepared.
Lu Tong was secretly shocked in his heart, he really couldn't resist this apprenticeship.
It was an invaluable visualization of the Dao.
"This Shangguan Xiu'er really figured out my thoughts, and knew that what my Tongyun Dojo lacked the most was inheritance. Lu Tong was silent, and the thoughts in his heart were full of thoughts.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, I accepted your gift, and you can stay in the Tongyun Dojo for the time being as a registered disciple." ”
