Chapter 169: The Apprentice (II)

Cough! The previous chapter was written in a hurry, and the last person to appear should be the elder brother, which has now been corrected.

Among the few people who came, Senior Brother bore the brunt, and Shanguo and the other two disciples followed closely half a step behind, and at this time, they looked at the two of them without blinking.

"And there is such a thing as going to the Qinglou?" With a dry cough, Yuan Fa stepped forward with a dark face, his eyes roamed back and forth between Yuan Xing and Ning Mu, and asked coldly.

Yuan Xing waved his hand in a panic, and Ning Mu hurriedly explained: "I was talking nonsense before, how can the little junior brother have the courage to go to the Qinglou?" ”

"Then don't talk about this kind of joke, slander the monk, you should know what the consequences are." Senior Brother snorted displeasedly.

"The junior brother knows that he is wrong." Ning Mu honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and the Yuan Xing on the side exhaled a long breath, fortunately, it was the senior brother who came, if it was the master, it would be really miserable, whether it was true or not, he and the third senior brother would have to be punished.

In fact, Ning Mu regretted it just after saying that, although the moonlight was bright, he didn't see the appearance of the person who came, he only vaguely distinguished the good fruit in the front row, thinking that it was just a group of juniors, but he didn't expect that because of the relationship between the standing angle, he completely ignored the elder brother's relationship method.

For a long time, Ning Mu was cleaned up by the other party because of his skin. Yes, it is completely different from Yuanxing, he is not even afraid of the master, but he is afraid of this senior brother who laughs all day long.

Yuanfa also knew his temperament very well, and when he saw that he admitted his mistakes, he stopped careging, turned to Yuanxing, stared at him for a long time, and saw that his face did not have the expected gloomy color, so he smiled with satisfaction: "I have explained to the elders the situation of your apprenticeship, and the abbot and the master have agreed." There are exercises in the temple that are suitable for women to practice, and tomorrow I will ask the good fruit to be sent to you. After a pause, seeing Yuan Xing nodded happily, he said again: "However, during your punishment, the initiation ceremony can only be made up later." ”

The exercises learned by Yuan Xing are limited, and they are not suitable for women to cultivate. It was because he was a little hesitant when he recognized Hong Qingyao's apprentice before, but now that he listened to the words of the senior brother, he was finally relieved. At least one monk master teaches his disciples to practice Taoism, and it won't happen again.

After Yuan Fa finished saying this, he squinted at Ning Mu again: "Don't disturb your junior brother's cultivation, you really miss it and endure it, and wait until we get together in the capital next year." ”

"The abbot agreed?" Ning Mu raised his eyebrows and asked in a loud voice.

Yuanfa skimmed his eyes and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly......

--------------

The next day, Yuan Xing got up refreshed, and was just about to start his morning class, but he didn't expect to hear footsteps outside, and when he opened the door, he saw that Hong Qingyao was standing in the courtyard, followed by a maid with a basin of towels.

Seeing him come out, the little girl hurriedly stopped yawning, took the towel handed over by the maid, wrung it in the basin, and then slowly approached Yuanxing.

The latter hurriedly waved his hand and retreated, his refusal was obvious, he had not yet reached the point of asking his disciple to serve and wash, let alone a female disciple.

Hong Qingyao blinked her eyes, tears swirled in her eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

Yuan Xing is very happy, looking at this girl's reaction now, it is no different from ordinary children, it seems that the condition is really good.

The monks in the monastery do not eat breakfast, and the guests do not. Hong Qingyao stood aside and watched Yuan Xing do the morning class, and then was reluctantly dragged by the maid to eat.

Yuan Xing happily waited to be assigned to work.

Shanguo came later than usual, first handed him two cheats, Yuan Xing opened it and read it, one internal strength, one swordsmanship, all of them are peaceful and light, the sentences are simple and easy to understand.

"This is given by Master." Shanguo explained: "He said that it is not convenient for the senior uncle to teach it now, so he can give the secret book to the little junior sister and let her understand her own nature. ”

Yuan Xing nodded, moved in his heart, the senior brother is really meticulous, everything that should be considered has been considered, and he has also tried his best for himself.

Today is still cleaning, and there are three tails behind him at the beginning, but Ning Chengyun saw that his little friend's attention was only on the body of the uncle in front, and gradually felt bored, after all, it was a ten-year-old child, and it didn't take long for him to run to play. So only Shanguo and Hong Qingyao were left.

The vegetation around Tianchan Temple is dense, the big trees between the houses are towering, the environment is good, but in this autumn, nature can not avoid the withered yellow leaves of the courtyard, just swept clean, it didn't take long to spread another layer, it seems that it can never be cleaned.

After eating at noon, Hong Qingyao also resisted the broom of the smaller one, and despite the opposition of the maid, ran to Yuanxing and cleaned up with him.

She is a child herself, and she was born in Zhong Dingyu's family, and there are always people around to serve her, how can she do cleaning work? But with the master by her side, she didn't feel tired at all, and it didn't take long for her to sweep in style.

Hong Qingyao's personal maid felt sorry for her own young lady, and she also wanted to step forward, but was dissuaded by Shanguo on the side.

The master is punished, and the apprentice helps, which is normal in Shanguo's opinion, the so-called disciple who has something to do is obey him! In fact, as a little uncle, Yuan Xing has a very good relationship with the disciples who first joined Tianchan Temple such as Shanguo, if it were not for the special instructions of the master, there must be many people who are willing to help one or two.

But others are exempt, which is not in accordance with the rules.

The maid was reluctant at first, but she also knew the rules, so she could only stand and watch. I don't know how long it has been, she suddenly murmured: "My young lady is next to the master, and she rarely speaks. I didn't expect it to be so lively here. ”

Shanguo was holding a scripture book to read, and when he heard this, he looked up at the middle of the field, and unconsciously showed a smile.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, parallel in the courtyard, one with a bright bald head, one with long flowing hair, one with ragged clothes, and one with gorgeous costumes. But under this sky full of falling leaves, the two of them acted in unison at the moment, and they were speechless, but under such a huge difference, they seemed extremely harmonious.

----------

The time of getting together is always short, and before you know it, three days have passed, and tomorrow is the time for a group of guests to leave.

In the evening, Hong Qingyao put down the broom, looked at Yuan Xing reluctantly, and said, "Master, I will return to Beijing tomorrow morning, can you send me?" "Although I knew that Master was being punished and couldn't move freely, I couldn't help but hope in my heart.

Yuan Xing was stunned for a moment, sighed lightly, and shook his head slowly.

Hong Qingyao was a little depressed, and asked again: "Then will you go back to the capital to see me?" ”

Yuan Xing laughed and nodded heavily.

Hong Qingyao seemed a little happier at this time, and was dragged back to the room by the maid, but when she left, she couldn't help but look back, but the disappointed that she had to hide was falling into the eyes of Yuanxing.

"Uncle Shi, let's do too." Shanguo saw it clearly on the side, and sighed as well.

Yuan Xing bowed his head, dragged the chain and walked back, but he didn't take two steps and suddenly stood still, turned to look at Shanguo for a moment, and pointed his right hand into a sword, and gestured on the palm of his left hand.

The latter understood and asked, "You want to write?" Seeing him nodding, he hurriedly agreed: "I will prepare a pen and paper and an oil lamp for you in a while." ”

Yuan Xing was satisfied, and returned to the firewood room with a smile.

---------------

Early in the morning, the entire Tianchan Temple was shrouded in autumn fog, and everything became hazy.

At the gate of the temple, Ning Mu hugged his drowsy son, his eyes swept over the white-haired old man who was talking with the abbot and the old monk Fuguang, and nodded at the Yuanfa and Yuanchen among the monks opposite, which was regarded as a farewell.

Feeling that it seemed that it would take some time for the governor of his own family to say goodbye to him, he turned to Hong Qingyao, who was wearing a big hat but looked dejected, and asked softly: "There should be some time now, don't you go to your master to talk?" ”

"I said goodbye yesterday, and it is inconvenient for Master to send it." Hong Qingyao shook her head slowly, she was born in a big family, she understands the reason, and she knows how to measure herself.

Ning Mu sighed lightly when he heard this, and didn't say more. In the past few days, he has inquired in many ways, and naturally understands the master's intention to treat fate in this way, and he doesn't know when this simple-minded junior brother will be able to pass the master's test.

Hong Qingyao heard the sigh and lowered her head, at this time, naturally no one noticed that her eyes were already red, but she just endured it to prevent tears from flowing out.

Over there, Bai Dadu Governor and the abbot and others finished talking, put their palms together and saluted the monks, and when he straightened up, his eyes swept to see the dust behind Fuguang who followed the monks to return the salute, paused slightly, and then didn't turn his head, and waved his big hand: "Let's go." ”

"Wait!"

Before he could finish speaking, a clear voice came out of the fog.

In the crowd outside the door, Hong Qingyao and Ning Mu turned their heads at the same time when they heard the words, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

A cyan figure broke through the thick fog and gradually appeared in front of everyone.

I saw that the man was slender, and he came slowly at this moment, a green coat was fluttering in the wind, his gait was calm, and his bearing was extraordinary.

"Master?" "Fate?"

The person who came was Yuanxing, but he was no longer shackled at the moment, took off his short coat full of patches, and changed into a cyan robe with only a bad neckline, with a light smile on his handsome face, and he was calm and calm.

"Amitabha, I'm sorry to disturb you." He first nodded to the abbot and the others, and then saluted in the direction of the guests: "The poor monk still has something to explain to his apprentice." ”

"Master, you, why did you come out?" Hong Qingyao was excited at first, and jumped in front of him in a stride, but then his face changed slightly, and he glanced at a group of monks not far away with some uneasiness.

Yuan Xing just smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to her, and said: "Since you worship me as a teacher, the poor monk naturally has to fulfill the responsibility of being a master, here is a book list, read through it several times in order after returning to the capital." "Well, this is the reading material that existed in this era after he stayed up all night last night and racked his brains to recall, excluding some nonsense made up by the three views, in fact, there are not many, just a dozen.

Hong Qingyao took the paper and unfolded it, her pretty little face was immediately covered with bitterness, just because there were a lot of books densely packed on it, when did you have to see this?

"Martial arts must be practiced diligently, and you must not slack off. You also have to read more books, girls need to read books to be sensible, do you understand? Yuan Xing looked at her amusedly for a moment, made a solemn expression on his face, and emphasized: "The next time we meet, I will have to take the test for the teacher." ”

"Got it." Hong Qingyao nodded, and Fang Cai's excitement disappeared instantly......

-----------

Yuan Xing smiled and watched the guests go away, and only turned back after a long time, when the thick fog had dissipated, and the monks at the gate of the temple had quietly returned, leaving only his master alone, staring at him with blazing eyes.

He restrained his smile, walked to Master Fuguang and knelt on his knees, and bowed together: "The disciple is presumptuous and has violated the rules, please punish the master." ”

Fuguang looked down at him, and after a long time, he asked, "Why did you come out?" ”

Yuan Xing bowed his head and replied, "For yourself." "Set your heart.

Fu Guang raised his long eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Why didn't you come out before?" ”

The posture of Yuanxing remained unchanged, and he still said: "For yourself." "For spiritual practice.

The old monk Fuguang laughed happily, covered the top of Yuanxing's head with one hand, and stroked it slowly.

Yuan Xing's eyelids jumped, but when he saw the master smiling, he forced some smiles out of his face, and then in the next moment, he was tragic again.

The old monk Fuguang's hand was raised and slapped on his bald head one by one.

"I have to fight with my master, where did I learn this stinky problem. tell you not to speak well, tell you not to speak well......" Every time he said a few words, the big slap slapped on the head and face of fate, but he didn't dare to hide, let alone use his luck to resist, so he could only bear it.

After a long time, it seemed that the old monk was in a good mood, and kicked Yuan Xing's thigh again, before he called him up, and said slowly: "Mo Ji for a month, do you have any opinions?" ”

"If a disciple is at fault, he is willing to be punished."

"Okay, you can go find the good fruit yourself."

"Yes."

After saying this, the old monk's face was gentle, and he walked slowly alone with one hand behind his back.

Yuan Xing also stepped into the threshold, but before entering, his movements stopped, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at the surrounding mountains, the autumn morning sun shone on the rising mist, reflecting the colorful mountains and forests in his field of vision, which was very beautiful.

Such a beautiful scenery made him obsessed for a long time, and he didn't know when he came back to his senses, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

He also learned the movements of the old monk, straightened his body and put his hands behind his back, and slowly shook into the temple.

In the nearly two months that followed, he followed the rules and acted cautiously, and finally did not make any mistakes again, and successfully ended the silent punishment.

After regaining his freedom, he secretly went to ask the old monk one night, if he didn't have An Hongqingyao's heart at that time and broke free from the shackles and walked out, what means would the master use to force him?

The old monk was rarely naughty, just blinked wittily, but never mentioned his plan, only said that the apprentices you will accept in the future will understand when they grow up.
