Chapter 7: Apprenticeship

Xiao Dongdong saw the little Taoist staring at him without blinking, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter? Is my face dirty?" After speaking, he really touched his face. Looking at Xiao Dongdong's funny appearance, the little Taoist priest couldn't help laughing.

In this way, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, and the two gradually get acquainted with each other, and they were originally wary of each other, but they were both happy at this time, and they couldn't wait to take out their hearts to show each other. After the little Taoist priest learned from Xiao Dongdong that he was now unaccompanied, he was in a desolate situation, wandering everywhere, and had no fixed place to live. Xiao Dongdong also learned from the little Taoist priest that in addition to the little Taoist priest, this temple also has his master, Lingshan Taoist, a total of two masters and apprentices, he has lived in this old temple in the deep mountains since he was a child, and has not had any contact with the outside world.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is?" the little Taoist priest patted his thigh as if he suddenly realized and said, "My name is Emperor Zhang, I am ten years old this year, I have never left here, and you are still the first outsider I know besides Master." Usually I haven't seen a ghost here, let alone a person. Then he added a whole bunch of words.

"My name is Lu Xiaodong, I am seven years old this year, since my grandfather died, I have been wandering everywhere, when my grandfather died, I didn't even bury his body properly, I feel so sorry for my grandfather. Xiao Dongdong choked with guilt, lowered his head, and remembered the sad past again, remembered the scene where his grandfather was stabbed by a knife and fell in a pool of blood, and remembered his grandfather's words before he died

The ground flashed in Xiao Dongdong's mind, and tears flowed involuntarily, blurring his eyes. "Grandpa, grandpa!" Xiao Dongdong clenched his fists and pounded the ground hard, completely oblivious to the pain.

"Lu Xiaodong, don't be sad, I believe that your grandfather is in the spirit of heaven, and I don't want to see you like this now. The little Taoist priest Emperor Zhang comforted Xiao Dongdong and hurriedly stopped him, afraid that he would hurt himself.

After about an hour like this, Xiao Dongdong slowly eased from his sadness, "Well, you're right, I shouldn't be like this, I want to live well, don't worry about grandpa!"

"Xiaodong, it's better to be like this, I asked the master to take you here and take you as an apprentice, so that we can be together every day, you can also have tiles to cover your head, food, and clothes to wear, anyway, you have no place to go, are you willing to stay?"

"Is this okay? Will your master agree to take me in?" Xiao Dongdong said with surprise and joy.

"You can rest assured of this, my master is a compassionate person, he will definitely take you in after knowing you," "Let's go, I'll take you to see my master," Before the words were finished, the little Taoist priest Emperor Zhang couldn't wait to drag Xiao Dongdong's hand and run to a place.

"Master, Master......" The little Taoist priest Zhang Di took Xiao Dongdong to the door of a courtyard, and shouted hurriedly before he rushed in. The little Taoist priest Emperor Zhang took Xiao Dongdong across the threshold and came to an eight-sided table, only to see an old Taoist priest with white hair, crane bones and fairy wind, wearing a white robe, sitting on a Taishi chair with a book in his hand. "What's the matter, apprentice, come to the master in such a hurry? What happened?" The old Taoist priest put down the book in his hand, and was about to ask his apprentice what had happened, "Huh, who is the person next to you?"

"Master, the apprentice has something to ask for, please ask the master to promise the apprentice first, and then the apprentice will tell the master who this person is. The little Taoist priest Emperor Zhang took the lead and snatched his master's words.

"Oh, disciple, tell me, what's the matter?" the old Taoist priest generally responded to his beloved disciples, as long as he was not too excessive.

"Master, I want you to take him as an apprentice. The little Taoist priest Zhang Di took the words of the old Taoist priest. After listening to the words of the disciple, the old Taoist priest looked Xiao Dongdong up and down, wondering why Xiao Dongdong appeared here. Seeing the hesitation of the old Taoist master, the little Taoist priest Zhang Di hurriedly launched the soft bubble hard grinding and coquettish magic skill, "Master, you just agree to take him in, ah...... Isn't it okay, Master......" The little Taoist priest said in a coquettish voice as he shook the old Taoist's arm. Xiao Dongdong saw all this in his eyes, and suddenly shivered, and goosebumps rose all over his body, "Sure enough, the skill is profound!"

The old Taoist priest listened to the chatter of the disciples, and shouted tirelessly, the master on the left and the master on the right, who were already soft, and their hearts were called to melt, but they enjoyed the call of the disciple very much. "Good apprentice, good apprentice, stop, Master's old bones are about to be shaken apart by you, just promise you for the master. ”

"Yes, the master is so good to the apprentice, long live the master, long live!" The little Taoist priest Zhang Di jumped up excitedly when he saw that the master had promised to take in Xiao Dongdong. "Po", "Po"

"Bang", he was so excited that he kissed his master's face three times, and the old Taoist priest's face was kissed by the little Taoist Emperor Zhang and was full of saliva. "How did you become like this, kid!" the old Taoist priest pretended to be angry, but his heart was already happy.

"Master, the apprentice will always love you!" the little Taoist priest Zhang Di smiled slyly, as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy.

"Well, it's really a teacher's beloved apprentice, and it's not in vain that the teacher usually loves you so much. The old Taoist priest smiled as if he was relieved, "Good apprentice, you haven't told me who the people around you are?" "Master, wait for the apprentices to tell you one by one," the little Taoist priest Zhang Di told the old Taoist priest all the 1510 he knew.

After listening to the apprentice's statement, "alas", "alas", "alas", the old Taoist priest sighed again and again, as if he felt sorry for Xiao Dongdong's misfortune.

"Xiaodong, come here,"

"Ah," suddenly heard the old Taoist priest calling himself over, and Xiao Dongdong had not yet come to his senses.

"Xiaodong, let me ask you, are you willing to stay and worship me as a teacher?"

"Apprentice?" Xiao Dongdong thought he had misheard.

"That's right, you can choose to worship me as a teacher or not, even if you choose not to worship me as a teacher in the end, you can stay, I don't force you, you can do as you wish. The old Taoist priest explained.

"Can I really worship you as a teacher?"

"Well, yes",

Seeing that Xiao Dongdong was still thinking about it, the little Taoist priest Emperor Zhang secretly touched him with his elbow, lowered his voice and secretly said in his ear, "Xiaodong, you quickly agree, my master is a martial arts master, and most people want to beg him to accept him as an apprentice, but he still doesn't accept it." ”

"Porphyry", "Porphyry", "Porphyry", Xiao Dongdong knelt on the ground on his knees and kowtowed three times in a row, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

"Okay, good, good, get up quickly," the old Taoist priest was overjoyed, and when he saw that Xiao Dongdong was still kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Dongdong up.

"Haha, I finally have a junior brother, great, haha......"
