Chapter 50: Becoming a Master and Apprentice
Lu Chen and Wu Tianxuan didn't pay attention to the time, and they chatted for more than three hours. Tian Weihong's side has long been finished, but he has the strength to eat milk, not to mention that Lu Ming's calculation is really the head, even Lu Ziye gave Tian Weihong's fortune-telling level a thumbs up.
At the end of this time, Tian Weihong couldn't stay, still thinking about the situation on his master's side. So, he hurried to Wu Tianxuan's house. But he, like Lu Chen, didn't dare to go in directly. He put his ear to the door and didn't hear any movement, so he shouted.
Hearing the sound outside, Wu Tianxuan glanced at Lu Chen, then made a strange gesture with his hand, and with a wave of it in the air, the light curtain disappeared.
"Come in!" After doing all this, Wu Tianxuan then shouted outside.
"Yo, you're still here!Master, I'm back!" Tian Weihong saw that Lu Chen was still sitting here, obviously stunned for a moment, and said hello with a smile.
"For Hong, come on, I'll tell you something!" Wu Tianxuan beckoned to Tian Weihong and motioned for him to sit down.
Tian Weihong didn't know what his master was going to tell him, so he sat down obediently.
"That's the case! I have already accepted Lu Chen as my apprentice, but you are also a senior brother, you will follow him in the future, take care of him more, and I will pass on some Taoist skills to you again!" Wu Tianxuan's words made Tian Weihong stunned. Why did the master still accept this young man as an apprentice, wasn't he the younger brother of Lu Ming? He had spent a lot of effort to apprentice to the master back then, and this time it was as simple as that? Tian Weihong's heart seemed to be sour, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his eyes lit up again.
"Hey, I'll take good care of my junior brother!" Thinking that I would be a senior brother in the future, the feeling of envy and jealousy calmed down a little. immediately took Lu Chen's hand and got closer.
"Okay!" Lu Chen was also very uncomfortable by Tian Weihong, so he could only deal with it.
"However, you can't say to the outside world that Lu Chen is my apprentice, and it's best not to tell his family about this matter, you know?" Seeing Tian Weihong's actions, Wu Tianxuan still instructed with some unease.
"Ahh I wish that all cultivators knew that he had a powerful master.
"Whatever I say, then do it!" Wu Tianxuan said solemnly to Tian Weihong.
"Yes! Yes, everything is up to Master!" Tian Weihong immediately said that he would not talk more. Turning his head to look at Lu Chen, he asked again
"Where is the junior brother going to go next?"
"This ...... I didn't think about it!" Lu Chen felt that it was very inconvenient to have such a person by his side, he had learned Tian Weihong's gummies in the morning, if he had been by his side, wouldn't he know what he was doing.
As if seeing Lu Chen's thoughts, the corners of Wu Tianxuan's mouth curled for a moment, and he spoke again:
"You don't have to follow Lu Chen all the time, as long as you don't stay too far away from him, something can find you!"
......
Lu Chen, who was walking on the way home, felt that everything seemed to come too suddenly, how could there be an extra master in a daze, is this good or bad? It has been almost a year since he came to the mortal world, and it seems that he has experienced too many things, and everything is not the same as he expected.
Tian Weihong hung behind Lu Chen from afar, giving him the feeling that his master attached great importance to and cared about this newly recruited apprentice, and he was stunned to let himself be his bodyguard, and he didn't understand it for a while.
"Hey, that's not right! This Lu Chen doesn't seem to have done the apprenticeship! This apprentice accepted it!" Wu Tianxuan suddenly thought of a question after Lu Chen left with Tian Weihong.
Lu Ming was still a little surprised when he saw Lu Chen and Tian Weihong coming back together, how could these two get together. Doesn't Lu Chen dislike fortune tellers?
"Young man, I'll show you in the afternoon!" Tian Weihong felt that he had to find a reason to stay first, or where would he go for the New Year.
"Quasi, quasi, sir, you are a man of God!" Lu Ming gave a thumbs up after hearing Tian Weihong's words.
"That's good! That's right! I don't want to run around during the Chinese New Year, I want to rest for a while, I think our village is good, and you also know that my master is in your village, that is, Old Lady Wu, so I want to ...... during the New Year" Tian Weihong said while glancing at Lu Chen, since the master asked me to take care of you, you should always find me a place to live.
"Yes, sir, even though you live in our house, the New Year is also lively. I don't know if you will appreciate your face!" Lu Ming understood what Tian Weihong meant, and immediately said.
"This ...... This is ......!" Tian Weihong didn't agree or refuse, but still looked at Lu Chen.
"Then let's live in my house!" Lu Chen rolled his eyes, he didn't understand what Tian Weihong meant, since the master asked him to follow him, he would definitely arrange for him to live, so he said it without being salty.
"Hey, okay! Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Tian Weihong saw Lu Chen's attitude, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, just like someone who wanted to follow you, it was not his master's request.
"Xiao Chen, how can you talk to Mr!" Lu Ming saw Lu Chen's attitude, looked at Lu Chen with some dissatisfaction and said. He didn't understand how this Lu Chen looked at dealing with this fortune teller.
Lu Chen didn't pay any attention to it, but walked directly into his room.
The good thing is that Lu Ming's family has a lot of houses, and the whole yard is full of built rooms on three sides except for the gate, and Lu Ming's parents are more hospitable, and this Tian Weihong is not so uncomfortable.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lu family is very busy in the morning, only two people are more leisurely, one is Lu Chen who is thinking about things in the house, and the other is Tian Weihong who is pinch his fingers and is practicing, because after dinner last night, when he went to ask the master for peace, Wu Tianxuan handed him some new gadgets, and he was thinking about it now.
"Lu Chen, let's go, go to the grave of grandpa with my father!" After lunch, Lu Chen had just returned to the house for less than half an hour, and Lu Ming was lying at the door and calling him.
"Go to the grave?" Lu Chen glanced at Lu Ming curiously.
"That's right! Kowtow to the old ancestor, and bless our brothers all the best outside! Hurry up! Dad is already preparing things!" Lu Ming put down a sentence and went to help.
There is a custom in their countryside that after lunch on the Chinese New Year's Eve, men go to the graves of their deceased relatives, first, to invite them home for the New Year, and second, to wish the whole family all the best. Because of the customs here, women can't go with them, so from childhood to adulthood, it is Lu Ming and their grandfathers who go.
Looking at his father walking in front with a pipe, Lu Ming, who was carrying a basket, had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he used to remember that his father had a very tall back and walked with the wind, but at this time he was a little staggering, it seemed that his father was indeed old.
Lu Chen, who walked at the end, also looked left and right at the surrounding undulating mountains, in winter, the mountains were bare, and occasionally bursts of green smoke rose from different graves, accompanied by crackling firecrackers. Suddenly, a thought flashed in Lu Chen's heart, could it be that this is how people in the mortal world communicate with people who have passed away? Then what is the way he communicates with the immortal world, coming to the mortal world, he seems to have never received any message from the immortal world, just like that world does not exist at all.
