Chapter 3 Apprenticeship
"Then what if he is really the ancient god of the wilderness? If we teach him kung fu, won't we raise tigers for trouble?" asked the old monk Puchen.
"I wish he was the Ancient God of the Wilderness. β
"What do you mean by that?" asked the old monk puzzled.
"First, if he is really the Ancient God of the Flood Desolation, and he has learned the three layers of Qi Realm, even if he has the power of the Flood Desolation, according to his cultivation, if I want to take him down, it will be more than enough. What is this son's temperament?"
"Typical peasant simplicity and kindness. β
"Hmm. That's right, if he progresses so fast that it far exceeds our imagination, and he doesn't know his body as an ancient god of the Great Desolation, we can use him to exterminate the Demon Sect, and then take the opportunity to kill him, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"Wonderful, Yufeng Zhenren really has a unique opinion, every time I chat with you, the old monk feels a sudden intellectual, so let's do it. When the old monk heard Bai Yufeng's analysis, he immediately nodded in praise, forgetting the anger of the defeat just now.
"I want to see this, how about it?" Bai Yufeng said suddenly.
"Yesβ"
"Someone is coming. Bai Yufeng's ears moved slightly.
"That's him, bringing food. The old monk gestured to him, Bai Yufeng nodded, his robe shook, turning into a wisp of green, and his figure was already hidden.
"Old monk, I'm sorry, I'm late today, you're hungry. A young man rushed towards the ruined temple in a fit of rage.
"It's fine. Puchen touched his stomach.
"Have you drunk?" Qin Feng leaned towards Pu Chen, smelling the smell of wine all over his body.
"How is it possible to talk less nonsense? You can't talk nonsense!"
"So, could it be that I smelled it wrong?" Qin Feng looked suspicious, but he was not the kind of person who asked the bottom of the matter, opened the rice basket, took out the meals, and put them on the stone table one by one, "I know you're hungry, eat it while it's hot." β
"Well, there's no hurry. He looked at the gauze wrapped around Qin Feng's head and asked, "Why is it injured?"
"I accidentally fell. Qin Feng didn't want to say that he was beaten by others when he fought with others, so he made an excuse to save some face for himself.
"Heh, if you lose in a fight, you lose, and I'm embarrassed to admit it. Monk Puchen shook his head, "You kid, don't tell the truth. β
"How do you know?" Qin Feng's lie was revealed, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's a joke." β
"How do I know? Even if you fall, you won't be bruised in other parts, right? This is obviously a fist injury, if it is a bruise, it can only be that one part is more injured, and the other parts are fine, look at the distribution of your wounds, not the appearance of bruises. If you scratch and scratch, your skin will definitely peel, and your wound will not show any signs of peeling. The monk analyzed.
"I still can't hide it from your old man!" Qin Feng smiled embarrassedly, "You better eat, it will be cold later." As he spoke, he handed over the chopsticks.
The monk took it, and did not move immediately, but just looked at Qin Feng, suddenly put the chopsticks down, and said angrily: "Look at your appearance, you have a fat body, stand up and sit down, you are not as good as others in fighting, what's the use of growing these meats?"
Master Puchen scolded so much that Qin Feng's eyes blinked and he was stunned, he couldn't figure out if this old monk had taken the wrong medicine today or what, how could he lose his temper so much?
"Alas, alas, alas!" Master Puchen sighed three times in a row, put down his rice bowl, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that I have been here for fifteen years?"
"Old monk, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?" Qin Feng saw that the old monk was moody and a little crazy, so he asked cautiously.
"You didn't do anything wrong, we were wrong. Master Puchen stood up and stared straight at Qin Feng, Qin Feng rarely saw the monk's serious expression, and he was stunned and at a loss.
"Let me ask you, Qin Feng, do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Learn martial arts?" Qin Feng shook his head, "What's so good about learning martial arts?" bullying men and women, using knives and guns, fighting and killing, what's good, I don't like it, it's better to earn some silver, marry a wife, and have a bunch of children, but it's also comfortable." β
"That's all you need?" Master Puchen was disappointed when he heard Qin Feng say this.
"Well, that's a tall pursuit. Qin Feng said with a smile, "I'm fifteen years old, and my father is still worried about whether I can marry a daughter-in-law." β
"You kid, you know what is good about marrying a daughter-in-law? My old monk has never married a daughter-in-law in his life, and he is still living happily. Is it easy to have so many children and a bird, and now you don't have the money to feed them, so you don't have to make them suffer with you. Do you love marrying a daughter-in-law and having children so much?" Puchen heard Qin Feng say this, and the more he listened, the more angry he became.
"Is this bad?" Qin Feng saw that the old monk was a little inexplicable when he spoke, and he muttered in his heart: "A normal person's life should be like this!"
"Marry Mao's daughter-in-law, don't marry, from now on you will mix with my old monk, and ensure that you will live happily like a fairy in the future. β
"What do you want to do?" Qin Feng listened to the old monk's words become more and more strange, I don't know what unbelievable things this crazy monk wants to estimate, could it be that this meal has not been eaten, so he starved him crazy? No, he shook his head, and instinctively, he still took a few steps back.
"Am I going to hurt you? Come here and kowtow to me three times. Master Puchen was very angry when he saw Qin Feng's pus-filled appearance that he wanted to dodge, so he shouted loudly.
"No, I don't want to worship you as a teacher, if I worship you as a teacher and become a monk, I won't be able to marry a wife. When Qin Feng heard the old monk say this, he suddenly felt bad, and ran away if he wanted to break his legs.
"You kid, you don't know how many people want to worship me as a teacher and have been rejected by me, you don't know how many lifetimes of blessing you have accumulated that I am willing to accept you as an apprentice, you actually refuse to apprentice today, you refuse to be a monk, I just let you be a monk so that you can't marry a wife. The old monk was tempered, grabbed Qin Feng's back coat, lifted it back like a chicken, put it on the ground, and touched his knees with his toes, Qin Feng suddenly fell to his knees. The old monk pressed his head again, faced him, kowtowed to Shengsheng three times, and then laughed and said, "I have confiscated apprentices for fifty years, and you are the last one." From now on, you are the fourth disciple of my Puchen, for the Guangzi generation, the old man gave you a 'Ming' character, that is, no matter when and where, you must be dedicated to Ming. β
Bai Yufeng, who was hiding aside to observe Qin Feng, couldn't help but laugh dumbly at his crazy move of forcibly accepting apprentices, and shook his head again and again. Secretly said: "This old monk of Puchen is really a little crazy, no wonder he was willing to abandon the abbot of Yongming Temple and travel all over the world to be a wild monk." β
"That's not a lot. Qin Feng waved his hand again and again.
"What is innumerable, now that you are kneeling down and your head is kowtowed, do you want to regret it and deceive your teacher and destroy your ancestors?" asked the old monk with a glare.
"You forced me to be an apprentice, and I didn't really worship you as a teacher, how can this be counted?"
"Alas, I can't care about that, anyway, you are now my apprentice, if you can let me kneel and kowtow to you, I will also worship you as a teacher, what do you think? Besides, at my age, I can be more than your grandfather, let you worship me as a teacher, is it difficult to treat you badly?"
"How could I let your old man kowtow to me? Of course you didn't treat me badly by taking me as an apprentice, but, onlyβ"
"Just what?"
"It's justβ"
Master Puchen saw Qin Feng squeaking when he spoke, and immediately said: "Still thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law and having children? This is not difficult, as long as you concentrate on learning the martial arts taught to your teacher, it will not be bad to be a lay disciple when the time comes." β
"Really?" Qin Feng heard the old monk say this, and then he showed a smile.
"Yes, no problem. How about it, is there any problem, as long as you are willing to be my apprentice with peace of mind, you can put forward any request, the old monk may be happy and find you a wife who is like a flower. β
"Hehe, no problem, you say, your name is Puchen?"
The old monk has not been walking around the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are few young people like you who have heard of me. β
"Nope. Qin Feng shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that I've been giving you food for seven or eight years, and I've never heard of your name, and now that you're my master, I should remember it." β
"Uh-" Master Puchen still wanted to boast about his heroic deeds back then, hearing Qin Feng say this, he was not interested at all, but seeing that he could have such an attitude, it was not bad, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "In the future, if you come to deliver food an hour in advance, I will teach you the way of breathing and breathing, this practice is not something that can be completed overnight, and it will cost ordinary people what they can't pay. β
"Can you really become an immortal?" Hearing Pu Chen say this, Qin Feng's face suddenly showed a kind of fascination. "Master, have you ever seen an immortal?"
"I haven't seen it before, but I have seen it just now. At the mention of this, the master of law popularization was a little sullen, and Bai Yufeng, who was hiding in the shadows, was very useful when he heard the old monk say this.
"Becoming an immortal is rare, and it is not something that ordinary people can achieve with hard work. According to your qualifications? Don't think about it, if you can learn to become a teacher, it will be a great achievement. β
"How long does it take to learn Master?"
"If you have less, it will take forty or fifty years, and if you have more, you can't say for sure. β
"Forty or fifty years, then when will I be able to marry a daughter-in-law? I won't be a bad old man at that time?" Qin Feng was disappointed when he heard this.
Seeing that Qin Feng was so depressed, the old monk was afraid that he would lose his enthusiasm for practicing martial arts, so he was relieved: "I see that you have excellent qualifications and a stoic nature, if you can study hard, I believe it will not take long to learn half of the Tao as a teacher." β
"Am I that smart?" Qin Feng touched the back of his head, and even he didn't believe it.
"Yes. The old monk was not very sure, but he could not lose his confidence, so he encouraged: "In order to marry a good daughter-in-law as soon as possible, you have to work hard!"
"Okay, I'll just try. Qin Feng showed an extremely unbearable expression.
"Then it's not too early today, come over early tomorrow and formally teach you some basic skills for the teacher. β
"Well, that's it for now, I'll come back tomorrow to see your old man, Master. After saying goodbye to Puchen, Qin Feng walked down the mountain with a stomach full of indescribable taste.
