Text Chapter 101 Huang Chai apprenticeship
The three brothers of Huang Chai, Huang Yan and Huang Mi grew up together, and the second Huang Yan and the third Huang Mi have always been obedient to the eldest Huang Chai. And Huang Chai also lived up to their expectations, and has always been the most thoughtful of the three brothers since he was a child.
So when Huang Chai told Huang Yan that they had a chance, if they succeeded, they would be able to live a good life, and if they didn't, they would have to die. After Huang Yan was confused at first, he said with an open expression: "Brother, I listen to you, I will do whatever you ask me to do." ”
Huang Chai thought for a while and said, "The third child is dead, what are the two left in our family, I wondered, should I leave a queen for my father?"
The next night, Huang Chai came to the tavern of the shopkeeper Xu.
Shopkeeper Xu prepared a few dishes and a pot of wine, and beckoned Huang Chai to sit down.
Huang Chai was also polite and sat down. Huang Chai had already thought about it, no matter how dangerous it was to do, he would do it. The younger brother Huang Yan will not interfere in this matter, and negotiate with the shopkeeper Xu, and strive to exchange his Huang Chai life for Huang Yan to marry a wife and then never go hungry for the rest of his life. If the thing can be done, it must be no problem, the key is that once the thing is not done, he Huang Chai is also dead, and I don't know if the shopkeeper Xu is willing to take some money to compensate Huang Yan. Do your best, if the shopkeeper Xu agrees, then the Huang family will be able to stay behind, and after going to the ground, they will have the face to see their ancestors.
"Brother Huang, drink. Shopkeeper Xu picked up his wine glass and said.
Huang Chai drank the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, you can tell me anything, I can do it." ”
Xu Qingcang poured another glass of wine for Huang Chai, motioned for him to drink, watched Huang Chai drink it, and said, "Do you want to be a cultivator?"
Huang Chai was stunned, and the empty wine glass in his hand fell on the table: "This... What kind of cultivator do I?" Huang Chai thought he was ready to kill and set fire, but he didn't expect that when Shopkeeper Xu suddenly asked like this, his entire head was disrupted. What am I a practitioner? Can I be a practitioner?
Huang Chai, like all ordinary people, did have a dream of being a cultivator when he was a child, but it was just a fantasy when he was a child, and when he grew up to be sensible, he would not have this dream again. The cultivators who come and go, and who are strong winds and waves, all have a fixed number, and only with the life of this master can he become a cultivator, how dare he have the slightest idea.
Xu Qingcang said step by step: "In life, many times, it's not that we don't have this ability, but that we don't dare to think about it, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, there is nothing in this world that can't be done." ”
Huang Chai didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, so he drank another glass of wine. Today's wine seems to be more fragrant than last night's.
Xu Qingcang gently patted the back of Huang Chai's hand and said, "Have you been to Qingtian Pavilion to see it? As long as you stand under that huge gatehouse, you can feel that kind of glory." You look at the students who come in and out, those people, and everyone's face is filled with pride and confidence. There are also people from the Academy, which are even more talented people in the entire academy, and that is the largest gathering place for elites in the whole world. ”
Huang Chai passed by Qingtian Pavilion and passed in front of the largest academy in the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, he was instructed to go to the West Market to buy things, and when he passed by the gate of Qingtian Pavilion, he only dared to look up, and found that the guards in front of the door were watching him, he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and continued to walk forward.
When he was in Ganzhou City before, he was beaten up because he glanced at the son-in-law of the Ling family at the city gate. Although Huang Chai hated it in his heart, how could he dare to show the slightest, when he was beaten, he could only kneel on the ground and keep begging for mercy, constantly shouting, 'The little one knows that he is wrong, he knows that he is wrong'.
It's just that sometimes when he sleeps at night and dreams, in his dreams, he sneers and carries a snowy knife, and then runs to the city gate Ling's house, killing their whole family, and then he looks at the corpses all over the ground and laughs, and often wakes up from his dreams laughing.
Later, he tried not to look around when he walked, and the magnates did not like to be looked at by people like them.
After buying things from the West Market, on the way back, when he passed by the gate of Qingtian Pavilion, he didn't dare to look anymore, he was afraid of being beaten. However, although he only glanced at it, Huang Chai could also feel the majesty of Qingtian Pavilion, and that kind of momentum was many times higher than that of the son of the Ling family at the city gate.
Xu Qingcang saw that Huang Chai was distracted, and waited for a while before continuing: "Brother Huang, I won't tell you, I have also taken the Qingtian Pavilion exam, and I have taken the exam three times in a row, but I haven't passed. ”
Huang Chai said cautiously: "I didn't even get into the shopkeeper Xu, which shows how difficult it is to get into Qingtian Pavilion..."
Xu Qingcang shook his head and said: "I thought at the time, not only is it difficult, it is simply not a mortal who can enter, and those who can enter are mortal gods!"
Huang Chai didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.
Xu Qingcang quickly smiled again and said, "But then I didn't think so anymore, because I met a master who instructed me to practice and taught me the method, so I am also a cultivator now." ”
Huang Chai was taken aback and quickly stood up.
Ever since he was a child, he had only seen cultivators from afar, either in the heavens or on the great rivers, and he had never even seen them up close, let alone talked to them.
This shopkeeper Xu is actually a cultivator! Although Huang Chai was shocked in his heart, he was more happy. He only thought that Shopkeeper Xu was a rich and powerful person, and if he could climb it, it would already be good luck. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Xu is still a cultivator, so it seems that this is a very thick and thick thigh! It makes Huang Chai feel that he must die for him, he must show his loyalty, and he must seize this good opportunity that fell from the sky.
Xu Qingcang asked Huang Chai to sit down, asked him not to make a fuss, took a sip of wine, and said: "Now, I also want to be such a master, I can give some opportunities to those who are unlucky enough to enter the academy, Huang Chai, what do you say?"
Huang Chai suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing and saying excitedly: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." "'Bang bang bang' knocked seven or eight real heads.
Xu Qingcang was quite satisfied with Huang Chai's cleverness, raised his hand to help Huang Chai, and said: "Huang Chai, if you worship me today, then I will accept you as a disciple, and what happens in the future depends on you." ”
Huang Chai stood up, heard what the master said, and hurriedly knelt down again and said, "The master is above, the disciple must work hard to repay the master's kindness." ”
Xu Qingcang said: "Huang Chai, you must know that everything has a price, and there is no benefit in vain. These days, I have a preliminary understanding of you, you are indeed talented, but talent alone is not enough, you have to have help, but this help, you need to pay something, are you willing?"
Huang Chai knelt on the ground and said firmly: "I am willing, no matter what the price is, I am willing, as long as I can be a cultivator!"
