Chapter 3 Acceptance of Disciples
The Taoist slashed the water monster with a sword, and with his feet in the air, he stepped on the golden sword and flew up, reaching out and sucking out a dark red ball the size of an egg from the water, pinching it in his hand and rubbing it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He smiled with satisfaction, and was about to leave, when he turned around and saw a young man in the water struggling to drag and hold two people, looking at him with a blank eye.
It looks like he has been wronged.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes, a little resentment, and full of expectation.
He vaguely saw the weak but stubborn self back then, felt that his nose was a little sour, smiled bitterly, turned back and lifted the three of them together and flew to the shore.
Fang Xiaozhou only felt that he was grabbed by that vigorous and powerful hand, and for a long time the clouds and fog swirled, and his eyes that were blown by the wind could not be opened, and he was suddenly thrown down, and he staggered to the ground.
He rubbed his head and looked at the Taoist innocently, just as the Taoist also looked at him, the two looked at each other, Fang Xiaozhou felt that his eyes were so clear, probably out of a kind of psychology that thought that life-saving benefactors were particularly good people, and for no reason he had a strong sense of intimacy with this Dao person.
The Taoist put down the grandfather and grandson who were still in a coma, and after casting the Dao Dharma, a stream of clear water washed away the filth attached to their bodies, making Fang Xiaozhou's eyes a little brighter.
The Daoist looked at his expression, so complacent, and then he was a little surprised why his Dao heart was so unstable today, and shook his head at the moment. He saw the scene of the young man fighting with the demon beast in front of him, but he also had a little appreciation for this kid, who was only enlightened, and had not officially started to practice qi, and he could save people from the belly of the third-order blood-scaled catfish, which was considered brave and strategic.
The movement of killing the demon beast just now was quite loud, and at this time, many boats on the nearby river had slowly approached back to the shore, probably a little worried, ready to go into the water to fish later, some sharp-eyed fishermen saw the Taoist, and could vaguely hear what "the immortal master has come to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon" and other sounds.
He was irritated when he heard this, and he was about to leave without talking to Fang Xiaozhou.
When Fang Xiaozhou saw that he was leaving, his heart was anxious, and he suddenly remembered the tricks of those high-ranking people who rescued and then took in apprentices, and blurted out: "Master!" He was fighting with the demon beast just now, and he was very tired at the moment, so his voice was very weak, and it sounded extremely pitiful.
The Taoist was trembling at his voice, and a bright figure appeared in his heart, falling from the flying sword when he landed, and he was so lost that he could not take off half a meter in the air, otherwise I am afraid that the entire Heavenly Master's Mansion would have to know that there was a Heavenly Master in his house who fell to his death outside the city the next day.
He was ugly at this moment, dusted the hem of his robe, and said in annoyance: "What are you doing? Don't scream, I'm not your master." ”
Fang Xiaozhou saw the golden long sword disappear into the Daoist's waist, and his heart became more and more firm to apprentice, he got up from the ground, and said respectfully in a playful tone: "Thank you Master for saving your life." ”
The Taoist didn't bother to correct him, he looked at Fang Xiaozhou with disgust, bowed his hand, and then looked at his Fang Xiaozhou blankly, thinking to himself What is the use of saying thank you just by talking about this, you might as well take something out!
"Alright, it's just a little thing. ”
He didn't want to say more, and turned his head to leave.
Fang Xiaozhou was in a hurry. These days, he has been listening to Ye Yun'er tell some interesting stories about this world, and he knows some common sense. In practice, people are omnipotent in heaven and earth, and everyone knows it. In the eyes of mortals, they are not much different from the high gods. So at the beginning, the little girl pestered him every day and told him to fly with her.
He himself can be regarded as a monk, but in front of this Taoist priest, he is no different from a mortal. His mind inevitably became active, he couldn't move, eat, see or touch all these years, the only thing he could do was to think, so he thought more and farther than ordinary people.
There are some different existences in this world, some different futures, so he wants to open that door and take a look.
But although the door is there, Fang Xiaozhou may not be able to find it, and if he finds it, he may not be able to push it open.
For example, the Taoist priest in front of him is a door, this is probably his only opportunity, Fang Xiaozhou must not miss it, so his mind is active.
He ran forward to stop in front of the Taoist, and was about to kneel down as soon as he bent one knee, this time his voice was much clearer, and he shouted loudly: "Master, I want to practice with you, you can take me as an apprentice!"
Fang Xiaozhou's bent knees failed to touch the ground, as if a force held him up, and he couldn't move in this comical posture of lying on his arms in front of him and kneeling on one knee.
The Taoist showed a trace of impatience and an expression that was really like this, and said with a slight frown: "I don't accept apprentices, don't use the excuse that I saved your life and you are grateful to follow me as an excuse to come to apprentice." I'm just killing a demon, but I don't want to hang a drag bottle. If you want to practice, you can go to the city monastery and sign up for it yourself, and I don't care about this matter. ”
"Huh?" Fang Xiaozhou was a little embarrassed, it was really difficult not to accept apprentices, so he suddenly made up a reason and began to brag nonsense: "Master, I won't tell you, in fact, I am a talented person, I have been praised for my cleverness since I was a child, and I am very smart! If you accept me as an apprentice, you will definitely not be disappointed!"
The Taoist probably had never seen such a brazen child in his life, and he was stunned for a moment, and asked indifferently: "You... What's so talented?"
Fang Xiaozhou repeated as a matter of course: "Isn't it smart to be young!Master, you can take me as an apprentice!" As he spoke, he tried to knock his knees to the ground, but the strange force was like a ball of heavy cotton stuffed in the middle, and he couldn't go down alive.
The Taoist was furious and said, "You are also called a gift? Then everyone in this world must be gifted, and they must all be cultivated! Do you think that a cultivator is a cabbage in the ground!"
"Oh~" Fang Xiaozhou's face fell, and he continued to pretend to be pitiful with his mouth.
The Taoist looked a little unbearable, wondering if he had just said too much, patted Fang Xiaozhou's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, I see that you have successfully opened your spirit, and your body is full of spiritual energy, and you can go to the monastery to register for a name in the spring of next year, and you can enroll." ”
"Thank you for your advice. ”
That's all there is to it... Fang Xiaozhou thought in his heart, and answered the voice, but changed his name, and turned around to take care of the two people on the ground who opened their eyes in a daze.
But alas, no, fortunately, it didn't work out.
The Taoist patted him on the shoulder, and after patting, he didn't take his hand away, but stuck to him, pulling Fang Xiaozhou's soaked and blood-soaked clothes, which were a little red and dirty, and no longer white.
Fang Xiaozhou asked suspiciously, "Senior?"
He didn't hear the answer, he looked up, and saw that the Taoist face was smiling like a peach blossom, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"What's your name, the fisherman here?"
Fang Xiaozhou said honestly: "My name is Fang Xiaozhou, and I am from the mountains." ”
The Taoist smiled more and more kindly, and Fang Xiaozhou was a little scared in his heart.
"Xiaozhou, you are very good! I want to retract what I just said, and decide to make an exception to accept you as an apprentice now, are you still willing to apprentice?"
Fang Xiaozhou was completely stunned, a little dizzy by the pie that fell from the sky, but he quickly calmed down, did not agree directly, and asked suspiciously: "Senior, you just now.... Why is that?"
The Taoist was obviously stopped by him, thinking to himself, how can he tell you this?
So he pretended to have an unfathomable feeling of a fortune teller, and said something that he didn't know whether it was true or ridiculous, and said leisurely: "That's the case." I see that your bones are wonderful, and you can be called a one-in-a-million cultivation genius, and you are very close to me. So I changed my mind, and it's still the same sentence, are you still willing to apprentice?"
He was half-truthful, his tone pretended to be flat with a hint of nostalgia, a hint of doting, a hint of amazement, and...... Feeling guilty?
The look is obvious, but anyone who sees them will not be mistaken.
It's very sincere, and there is no conspiracy in it.
Of course, Fang Xiaozhou would not believe such a simple lie, but he decided not to think about it anymore, anyway, he had nothing to worry about, so he bowed generously.
"Master is on top, please bow down to the apprentice!"
...
At this time, Ye Yun'er woke up and sat on the ground retching. Fang Xiaozhou was still guarding her, and patted her on the back to relieve her. As a result, this idiot didn't know the skills, and as soon as he shot randomly, Ye Yun'er vomited more and more, and coughed.
Fang Xiaozhou looked at the master he had just worshipped pleadingly.
The Taoist was helpless, he inadvertently probed the body of the boat below, and found that his kind of familiarity could not be more familiar, except that ordinary people could not distinguish it at all, and he had the same physique as his favorite and only apprentice, so he was excited to accept him as an apprentice, although his mind calmed down at the moment, it was too late to regret it, and now he can't sit idly by.
Ye Yun'er was invaded by the poisonous gas in the belly of the demon beast, if Fang Xiaozhou had been a little later before, she would probably have been digested at this moment.
At that moment, the Taoist took out a transparent and white pill and stuffed it into the girl's mouth, and at the same time took her hand, infused Dao spiritual power to help her absorb the medicinal power, and comforted: "Don't get in the way, take this medicine, just rest for a while." Xiaozhou, you will follow me into the city at night, I will take you to the consulate hall to hang your name, but the master leads you in, the cultivation is personal, I will not care about the future affairs, you cultivate on your own..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly looked at Ye Yun'er with a strange face, as if he wanted to see a flower from her face. He muttered to himself, "I'm not mistaken, Tianling Root?!"
Fang Xiaozhou saw his strange appearance and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
The Taoist ignored him, and said to Ye Yun'er with a kind eyebrow very sincerely: "Little girl, I see that your bones are wonderful, and you are really a one-in-a-million cultivator. Would you like to go back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion with me to practice?"
