Chapter 40: Superiority

readx;?“ May Master's gold body be in good health, and Disciple Wang Lugong asks Master to rest soon......"

There was a loud voice outside the door, and after the voice was finished, it was followed by a banging kowtow, which was really hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ding Peng is under the service of Chunlan, drinking a bowl of purple sweet potato wolfberry porridge, this porridge is the health porridge he prepared according to the prescription, originally the most suitable yam, but I searched all over the Qianhu Basin and did not find wild yams, so I could only use purple potatoes instead.

Qiu Ju was holding a bowl of water next to him, Ding Peng drank the porridge, took the water and rinsed his mouth, and then said to the outside: "Go back, it's night, don't practice too late." ”

Wang Lu, who was kneeling outside the door, showed a hint of joy on his face, he came to greet the master every night, this was the first time he heard the master say something of concern to himself, in the past, it was either um or go back, nothing else.

Wang Lu kowtowed excitedly and said, "The disciple obeys the order, and the disciple will come back tomorrow morning to greet the master." ”

Ding Peng smiled, didn't speak again, let Wang Lu leave, and after a while, a few more disciples came over one after another to knock on him, and what he said was nothing more than asking Ding Peng to go to bed early and take care of his body.

This is not Ding Peng's regulations, nor is it forced by the rules of the star gate, it is completely out of the willingness of the disciples, and I forgot to start with the first disciple, first to ask for peace in the morning, and then to develop to bow before resting at night, first one or two people, three or four, and then most of the disciples or active or passive, came one after another, and gradually formed a kind of atmosphere, after a long time, even those who were not very willing to develop a habit.

To be honest, Ding Peng was reluctant at first, coming and going, there were many noisy people, especially in the morning, sometimes he couldn't get his wish if he wanted to sleep lazily, he wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea.

First of all, whether they are voluntary or passive, since they have this intention of respecting their teachers, they can't dampen their enthusiasm, Ding Peng was worried about the weak relationship between master and apprentice, and there is such an excellent opportunity, of course, we must encourage and guide, and we can't stop and dispel it.

Secondly, according to modern research theories, although people are intelligent animals, most of the time people's minds are actually in an irrational state, and the mind often operates by inertia, such as pyramid schemes and brainwashing. The current people of the Xingzhu Sect are like this, whether they are in the psychology of pleasing Ding Peng, or afraid of Ding Peng, pretending to be deferential and respectful, but as long as time passes, I am afraid that even they themselves will not be able to distinguish their feelings for the master.

In the end, of course, Ding Peng also likes to enjoy this feeling of superiority very much, in the rivers and lakes of this era, there is a very strict concept of hierarchy among the sects, respecting the teacher, obeying orders, is the dogma that the low-level disciples in the sect must abide by, and in the Xingzhu faction, because of Ding Peng's high-pressure methods, there is no doubt that this atmosphere of respect and humility is more dignified, although Ding Peng once declared that everyone in the sect is equal at the Holy Fire Ceremony, in fact, where does the equal status come from.

If everyone in the Star Sect is equal, will he, the head of the family, still be a mess?

Chunlan Qiuju packed up the porridge bowl, and went into the back room to lay out the futon for Ding Peng, because it is located on the plateau, the night temperature in the Qianhu Basin is relatively cold, Chunlan put a skin bag filled with hot water into the quilt, this is the ancient warm baby, when Ding Peng falls asleep, he can enjoy the warm comfort.

After packing up, Chunlan Qiuju said goodbye to Ding Peng, Ding Peng gently told them to rest early, although these two people were born as maids, but now they are nominally his disciples, and Ding Peng still knows what to say with a word or two of concern.

They don't stay overnight to serve, there is also a little girl Blue Lotus here, Ding Peng occasionally has something to do at night, you can tell Blue Lotus to do it, such as letting her run errands or something.

As he gets older, Blue Lotus is no longer in the same room as Ding Peng, Ding Peng's room has three rooms inside and outside, the outermost is the reception room, the larger one inside is Ding Peng's bedroom, and there is a narrow compartment is the Blue Lotus's dwelling.

When Chunlan Qiuju left, Blue Lotus walked out of her hut, maybe it was racial barrier, although she was already fluent in Chinese, but she was not close to Chunlan Qiuju, in fact, the entire sect, there were only a handful of people who could say a word to Blue Lotus, she could be silent all day long, only open those big black eyes, standing in an inconspicuous place and watching silently.

Blue Lotus ran lightly to the incense burner and lit a sandalwood, this incense is Ding Peng's homemade medicinal fragrance, which can play a role in clearing the mind and tranquility, Ding Peng likes to light an incense before going to bed every night, but this habit Blue Lotus did not tell Chunlan Qiuju, but hid it in her heart as a small secret, and she insisted on lighting it herself every day.

Blue Lotus's movements were extremely light, like a fluttering ghost, or Ding Peng was used to her presence, and during the process of lighting the medicinal incense, Ding Peng kept his eyes closed and fell into his own thoughts.

Until a deep voice came from outside, Zhao Si said outside: "Master, the disciple is here." ”

"Come in. Ding Peng opened his eyes and waved his hand, like chasing an insignificant fly, and the blue lotus gently floated back to his hut.

Zhao Si walked in with steady steps, after he was seriously injured by Tong Laomu, several months have passed, his injuries have healed, but his face is still a little depressed, and his heart is difficult to solve.

Ding Peng attached great importance to Zhao Si and several other talented disciples, and would call them over every night to have a heart-to-heart chat, which had been going on for a while, so Zhao Si was already a little less cramped and nervous in front of his master.

This young man has gradually grown up, and his calm face and thick back all show that he is already a man who can take on heavy responsibilities, but this little man is now a little depressed.

Ding Peng pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down, Zhao Si first knelt down and kowtowed to the master three times, then got up and sat in the chair.

Ding Peng smiled: "Why, I still don't want to open it in my heart?

Zhao Si first broke into the rivers and lakes, he was defeated by Tong Laomu, and was chased by him for thousands of miles, the taste is really miserable, the most important thing is the blow of confidence, people say that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, but if the calf is bitten by the tiger as soon as he goes out, the psychological trauma must be great, this is still Zhao Si is strong-willed, for a cowardly person, it is possible to collapse.

Zhao Si touched his head embarrassedly: "Master, don't make fun of the disciple, the disciple went to find that Tong Laomu today, but he was still defeated in his hands, he insisted on fifty moves a few days ago, he held a few more moves today, and he must have a few more moves tomorrow." ”

Zhao Si has not been able to untie the knot, Ding Peng asked him to accompany Tong Laomu more tricks, now Tong Laomu can only play three percent of his skills, according to Ding Peng's assumption, Zhao Si can completely beat him, as long as he wins twice, the knot will naturally be untied, and his confidence will come back.

I didn't want Zhao Si to see Tong Laomu's body being controlled, and his skills couldn't be fully exerted, so he refused to take advantage of him, and every time he fought with half of his strength, he even tied his left hand and met the enemy with only one hand, the result was naturally not beautiful, and he was beaten by Tong Laomu every time his nose and face were swollen, but fortunately, Zhao Si's Yuan Yuan True Qi in his body had gradually increased, and his true qi naturally protected his body, and Tong Laomu's residual skills could not seriously injure him.

After listening to Zhao Si's words, Ding Peng thought for a while and said: "As a teacher, I want you to win back your confidence, since you insist on doing so, then so be it, don't go tomorrow, you prepare, let you retreat for a few months, and when you are successful, you will seek revenge from him." ”

Frustration is good for people, but too many setbacks may backfire, Zhao Si's current situation is like this, he is angry about being defeated by Tong Laomu, and always wants to avenge the shame as soon as possible, which leads to him having no intention of practicing at all, or practicing inefficiently, Ding Peng simply let him retreat and practice, and wait until his cultivation has grown sufficiently, and then go to Tong Laomu to compete.

As for whether he can win Tong Lao Mu, Ding Peng is more confident than Zhao Si, after Zhao Si's first stage of poison skill refining, Ding Peng taught him the Three Yin Centipede Claw, this kind of poison skill is Ding Peng's current high-end martial arts that he has exchanged from the system, if Zhao Si's talent as high as the second grade, he can't help a half-crippled Tong Lao Mu after practicing the Three Yin Centipede Claw, then Ding Peng simply dispelled the idea of returning to the Central Plains as soon as possible, because it was looking for death.

Zhao Si was accustomed to obeying the master's suggestion, although he was obsessed with it like fire in his heart, he could only suppress it temporarily, nodded and said respectfully: "Zhao Si obeys the master's orders! If the disciple can't beat that Tong Laomu after leaving the customs, please ask the master to punish the disciple arbitrarily, because the disciple has disgraced the master." ”

Ding Peng said with a smile: "His heart is commendable, but his ideas are not advisable, what are you afraid of if you fail once, the master said to you, even if you lose ten more times, as long as you have an enterprising heart, you are still a good apprentice for the master." Little four, Master has great expectations for you, and you are the most loyal to Master among all your fellow disciples, so don't have a burden in your heart, as long as you practice hard and do your best, then it's nothing, remember, your future challenge is not just a child, look farther, be more open-minded, Master thinks you have the potential to become a super master of the rivers and lakes!"

Zhao Si was moved and excited when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stand up and said: "Master, the disciple listens to you, the disciple will never be discouraged in the future, he must practice hard, and when he becomes a master, he will beat the name of our Star Sect as soon as possible." ”

Ding Peng nodded: "Okay! This is a good man with ambition." ”

......

When Zhao Si was sent away, Ah and Maiti, who had been waiting outside, asked for instructions, and when Ding Peng's permission was obtained, Ah and Maiti walked in with cheerful steps.

Ah and Maiti is a little boy of eight or nine years old, although he is young, but he is very smart, and his temperament is also lively and smart, Ding Peng likes him more, but when he thinks of Chen Xiaoshui, the most favored disciple of the Lingshan Sect at the beginning, the two shadows continue to coincide, which makes him very annoyed in his heart.

However, Ding Peng was very good at hiding his emotions, he was angry in his heart, but he smiled gently: "Little Abuwang, you are here, how are you doing your homework today?"

Ah Hemaiti couldn't look at the face of the adult wearing the mask at all, he smiled and said, "Back to Master's words, the disciple has already finished his homework today, and he has practiced the method of Zhou Tian Tu Na twice. ”

He had a good impression of this master, if it weren't for the fact that this place in the Thousand Lakes Basin was too stuffy, Ahmat would be very satisfied with his current life.

Although this child is young, he has inherited his father's ambitions, and when Abuwang said that he could learn kung fu that is invincible to all people by following the Xingzhu sect, Ahmat nodded in agreement, so he was not afraid of the current hard life, and was bent on learning real kung fu so that he could take his family to the next level.

Ding Peng then asked him a few questions, all about the difficulties in the homework in the past few days, Ah and Maiti answered very well, Ding Peng liked and was vigilant in his heart, smart people naturally learn kung fu quickly, but being too smart always makes him feel unsure.

But now is not the time to think too much about this problem, Ding Peng needs a few right-hand men, naturally to cultivate carefully, at this stage of the good student will be his **, wait until the beginning of martial arts, and then observe his performance, if there is a different heart, find an opportunity to let him be cannon fodder, if loyalty can, then continue to further study.

After chatting for a while, Ding Peng asked him to go back to rest, Ah and Maiti were very polite, and also showed enough respect for the master, lying on the ground and kowtowing five times in a row, and then did not get up, his legs moved back, and his buttocks fell backwards until he reached the door, only then did he get up and bow deeply, and then left.

Ding Peng has seen such etiquette in Loulan, although this kind of etiquette is a custom in Loulan, but it is not often seen, only for very respectful elders, this kind of etiquette will be used, Ding Peng coughed with satisfaction, and his heart was very comfortable.

After being in the top position for a long time, he has become accustomed to the respect and respect of others, and if the other party's etiquette is a little worse, it will make him unhappy.

This is the pleasure of superiority, everyone has the desire to live on people, but some people show it, and some people are good at covering up or lack of ability to pretend to be low-key, because this is human nature, the primitive survival instinct inherited from the harsh living environment in ancient times.

Only by being superior to others can we get more resources for survival.
