Chapter 2: The Second Batch of Disciples

readx;

On the tenth day of Ding Peng's retreat, Li Kun returned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, Li Kun had been sent to Qinghai to look for street children, and his main area of activity was in Xining Prefecture, and after about a month, he brought back nine children.

Don't be too little, because Ding Peng's requirements this time are not as teachable as last time, all kinds of apprentices are accepted, this time he clarified a few necessary conditions: don't be too weak, don't be sick or physically disabled, don't be mentally inactive and unresponsive, and don't be too young or too old......

Once these conditions are screened, in fact, there is not much room for Li Kun to choose, you must know that he has to face street children, these children have lived a long and difficult life, and it is not bad that their bodies are not disabled or infected with diseases, Ding Peng also requires that the intelligence is up to standard, the face is good, and the bones are well developed, plus these conditions, one of the ten children may not be selected.

Li Kun took a lot of trouble to find only a few children, he had thought of using some extraordinary means to complete the task quickly, but before leaving, Ding Peng had told him not to kidnap children from normal people, Li Kun could not listen to others' words, Ding Peng's orders he would never dare to disobey, this has been deeply embedded in his thinking, has become an instinct.

After Li Kun came back, he waited until Ding Peng came out of the customs and reported to him anxiously about the harvest and the specific process.

After hearing this, Ding Peng smiled and comforted him: "Lao Li, what's the matter? I'm afraid that this seat will scold you? In fact, you can bring back nine children, this seat is already very surprised, this time the harvest is not how many children can be brought back, but when you find out the situation in Xining Prefecture, you have opened this road." What are you afraid of the first time, in the future, this seat may have to arrange for you to be responsible for this line for a long time, if you are uneasy, bring back some good seedlings to this door in the future, Lao Li, what do you think?"

Li Kun looked grateful, and said: "Thank you for your magnanimity, the disciple knows that this time he really failed to complete the task assigned by the master, but the disciple promises that he will do his best next time to bring back more people to the master." ”

Ding Peng raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Do your best in the future?

Li Kun looked at Ding Peng's playful expression and knew that he was joking with himself, so he had to say with a sad face: "The disciple is also doing his best this time, but because he failed to listen to the teachings in front of the master every day, his heart and strength are not big enough, the disciple promises to listen to the master's teachings and guidance more when he comes back this time, and the next time he is bigger, he can also make more efforts, and he will naturally do it better than this time." ”

"Lao Li, you, you......" Ding Peng laughed, pointed at Li Kun twice, was happy in his heart, and said proudly: "This time you are also considered to have worked hard, and this seat can't help but reward you, say, what do you want?"

Li Kun hurriedly said: "Master, what do you say about the old man, my little life is given by the master, not to mention running errands for the master, as long as the master gives an order, it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I Li Kun is also willing." ”

Ding Peng was very satisfied with Li Kun's deference, and said with a smile: "The rewards and punishments are clear, as long as you do things for this seat, there are absolutely no benefits, especially you, Lao Li, the only person you can trust in this seat is you, so after the creation of the stars, many things need to be done by you personally, which inevitably delays you a lot of practice time, and your cultivation in the same sect cannot be ranked in the forefront, for the teacher to know that you have regrets, and also know the contributions you have made, so, boldly say your thoughts, this seat will try to satisfy you." ”

Li Kun looked grateful and moved, he had followed Ding Peng for the longest time, and he had already figured out Ding Peng's character a little, so his humble expression coupled with constant sycophants made Ding Peng more and more happy the more he listened, until the heat was almost the same, Li Kun said cautiously: "Master, the disciple heard that several fellow disciples have received the empowerment of the master, and their cultivation has improved day by day, and the disciple is really envious in his heart......

Ding Peng laughed, waved his hand and said: "It turns out that you want this, Lao Li, in fact, if you don't say it, the teacher is also ready to give you an empowerment, if it weren't for your delay, the first initiation personnel will definitely have you, you are the first confidant of this seat, no matter how you row, the first person in this seat is still you." ”

Li Kun's face rose with a sincere smile, although Ding Peng is moody and ruthless, but he has an advantage that he is really generous to people who really do things for him, Li Kun once received his reward Qi Gathering Pill, one can increase his own strength for three years, and he also got the healing medicine, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as he does not die at the moment, taking the medicine can save a life, these are extremely precious things, but Ding Peng is not stingy, he will be rewarded, so Li Kun followed Ding Peng's side, although sometimes frightened, but in general he still benefited a lot, which is also the reason why he changed his mind and did not want to go back to his hometown in Lanzhou。

In order to strengthen Li Kun's induction of this true qi, Ding Peng entered double the weight of others, as long as this thick true qi takes root in Li Kun's mud pill palace, it will soon derive more true qi, and Li Kun's strength will be significantly improved in a short period of time.

In addition to the empowerment, Ding Peng also rewarded Li Kun with a poison refining treasure tripod in public, in fact, it was the Shenmu Xiaoding that he exchanged from the system with dozens of contributions, although it was a small ding, it was much stronger than the poison refining tripod imitated by Lao Qin, whether it was the efficiency of attracting poisons, or refining and purifying toxins, it was much better than the simple poison refining tripod in the hands of other disciples.

After rewarding Li Kun, Ding Peng ordered someone to bring nine stray children to the public canteen, and the canteen had already prepared sumptuous dishes, on the one hand, to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Li Kun and others, and more importantly, to buy the hearts of these children.

Don't underestimate the power of food, wait until those children see the rich dishes, especially those meats, their eyes suddenly glow, and the originally cowering expression suddenly becomes greedy and happy, and a bold boy quickly runs to the front, stretching out his little paws to grab a plate of dishes.

"Presumptuous! Don't stop yet!" Li Kun shouted, and the child suddenly shrank back in fright, looking at everyone with greed and fear on his face.

Ding Peng smiled and looked at this bold boy, who was about seven or eight years old, with a tiger head and a delicate eyebrow, but he had dark skin and a dry body, and he was malnourished at first glance.

Ding Peng smiled and said to him very gently: "Don't be afraid, what's your name?"

The boy lowered his head in fear and whispered, "I...... My name is Gou Dafang. ”

A few people let out a small laugh, Ding Peng's stern gaze swept away, no one dared to squeak, Gou Dafang seemed to be stimulated by laughter, raised his little head, blushed and explained roughly: "It's not a dog, it's a sentence under the cursive word." ”

Ding Peng laughed and said, "Oh, I didn't think you could read and write, and you have entered the academy?"

The boy shook his head, his expression a little sad: "I...... My mother taught her, but she ...... I died the other day......"

Ding Peng touched his little head, pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Okay, don't think about those unhappy things, you have entered the stars, and you will all be disciples of the stars in the future, as long as you follow this seat loyally, there will be many good days." Eat, these are for you, but use chopsticks, not hands. ”

After listening to this, Gou Dafang picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks neatly, but grabbed it with his small hand, and shouted to the child behind: "Sister, come and eat meat......"

A four or five-year-old girl ran out of the group of children, who should be the youngest of the children, and she spoke in a milky voice, and whispered: "Brother, brother, I'm afraid ......"

Gou Dafang pulled his sister over, protected her, and then handed over the piece of meat in his hand, and the other children had already rushed up in a swarm, grabbing the table with chopsticks and holding them indiscriminately.

Li Kun stepped forward, kicked a few times at the two most mischievous people, and scolded: "Sit down for me!" ”

Throw out of the house naturally can not eat good things, this threat immediately effective, a group of children to endure the huge desire for tongue, obediently sit down, pick up chopsticks and slowly hold the food, several of them do not know how to use chopsticks, so they have to try to move forward, with chopsticks to provoke indiscriminately, the mouth is supported underneath, and the food falls down just into the mouth.

Gou Dafang fed the meat to his sister and said with a smile: "It's meat and bones, eat it quickly." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, her hands were dirty, so she grabbed the meat and put it in her mouth to chew, and she was reluctant to spit out the bones after eating, and kept sucking the taste.

Ding Peng frowned and said: "Lao Li, tell them to go down, let them take a good bath after eating in a while, and I will definitely wash them all cleanly, and tomorrow there will be an apprenticeship ceremony in Japan." ”

Li Kun nodded hurriedly, Ding Peng stopped making a sound, and watched with satisfaction as a group of children swept away the dishes on the table, many of the children had round stomachs and their eyes were still wandering around, to see if they could take some delicacies from other people's hands.

In order to take care of his sister, Gou Dafang ate very little, and his face was also full of greed, but this child could hold back his huge desire at a young age, which made Ding Peng pay special attention to it, and he made a special note of this name in his heart.

Except for the brother and sister, the other children can't see anything special for the time being, but this is also reasonable, except for how magical the childhood of those big people is described in legendary novels or pompous history, in fact, the real big people may not be different from the ordinary people around them before they have made a career or become famous. These children have been wandering for a long time, suffering from hunger and cold, even if they have special talents, they have no way to play at all, and the only thought in their hearts may be how to eat their stomachs, so at this time, there is no way to infer which is what can be created from their expressions and reactions, etc., only after the introduction is scored by the system.

In general, this sumptuous meal has achieved good results, Ding Peng had previously specially told Li Kun not to let them eat well on the road, one principle is that they can eat well but not well, just for their first meal in the Qianhu Basin.

This meal obviously deepened their good impression of this strange place, and naturally they will have a greater good impression of the owner of this meal - Ding Peng, which is a good starting foundation, for these children, Ding Peng's cultivation strategy will be different from the first batch of disciples, rewards and punishments are clear, torture and punishment will be given appropriate warmth, and a more harmonious master-apprentice relationship will be established, which is obviously more conducive to future control than simple tough measures.
