Chapter 59: Apprenticeship
Looking at the handmaidens who came with tea, Guo Shuanglin sat beside Li Chunfeng, sighed and said: "These girls are also hard-working people, since the war burned to this Beixiang City, all their families have been killed, if it wasn't for their father-in-law to take them in, they would probably starve to death outside." ”
Everyone also expressed their sorrow, there are eggs under the nest, since ancient times, the war has been unlucky all the people, all the civilians who went to the battlefield to fight, those rich and powerful people have long run away without a trace, when the courtiers will hide in the temple to point fingers, and a few people have been on the battlefield, have seen the cruelty there, I hope that the war here will end as soon as possible, and the people will have a peaceful world.
Seeing that Sister Guo was still in the General's Mansion, Li Chunfeng was a little curious and asked, "Sister Guo, aren't you married?" Why do you still stay in this general's mansion? ”
Although this remark is a bit out of place, whose daughter does not return to her parents' house after getting married, Guo Shuanglin did not get angry, but replied very patiently: "My husband is also a soldier, and he is a general next to my father-in-law, and his hometown is not here, so he can only live here temporarily. ”
Yuan Zhi held his beard and praised: "Miss Guo is really a good wife and daughter." ”
Being praised like this, Guo Shuanglin was a little embarrassed, and quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Yuan has won the award, I just did what I had to do." ”
Just as everyone was talking, a figure appeared in the lobby unconsciously, and everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Wen Zhong.
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and Yuan Zhi and Jiang Xinyue said respectfully: "Meet the master." ”
But Zhou Xixi said very obediently: "Meet the master." ”
Guo Shuanglin is not a person in the rivers and lakes, she didn't hold her fists and salute, she only gave a blessing to Wen Zhong, and Li Chunfeng was a little embarrassed to be present, he hadn't officially apprenticed to the master, but he already had the name of master and apprentice, it was wrong to call Mr. Tian, and it was not right to call the master, so he had to stand there awkwardly.
Wen Zhong looked at these juniors, smiled and ordered everyone to sit down, but he sat on the main seat, and with his friendship with General Guo, he deserved to sit there.
Seeing the master again, Yuan Zhi and Jiang Xinyue were very excited, and they sat upright, for fear of making impolite actions that would make the master unhappy.
As soon as Wen Zhong sat down, he said to Li Chunfeng: "Spring breeze! I have already heard from those disciples who came early about the Ink Shadow Sword, you don't have to take this to heart, this Ink Shadow Sword is originally something outside the body, and if it is broken, it will be broken, but you can get the Longyuan September Sword because of misfortune, it can be regarded as a great fate, it is too late to be happy for the teacher, how can I blame you. ”
Seeing that the master was so pampered by Li Chunfeng, the little junior brother, Yuan Zhi and Jiang Xinyue also opened their eyes, thinking that the senior brother took the ink shadow sword at the beginning, and was scolded by the master and his old man.
Then Wen Zhong's voice changed, and he said in a very serious tone: "Xinyue! I have something to ask you! ”
Hearing the master ask himself in such a tone, Jiang Xinyue immediately had a bad premonition, stood up and respectfully waited for the master's reprimand.
Wen Zhong sat there with a straight face, and continued to say in a reprimanding voice: "Okay, you Jiang Xinyue, you have reprimanded your little junior brother as a teacher, you are good, you didn't give your little junior brother a good face, isn't it just a broken sword, if it is broken, it will be broken, I didn't say anything first, which round will you say irresponsible things." ”
Being reprimanded by the master made Jiang Xinyue sweat profusely, he had long known that the master and his old man were partial to the little junior brother, but now it seems that this is really the case.
Seeing Senior Sister Jiang being trained, Li Chunfeng hurriedly got up and said good things, saying, "Don't blame Senior Sister Jiang, she is also for the good of the Shadow Sect." ”
Hearing that Li Chunfeng gave Jiang Xinyue as his senior sister, Wen Zhong's face immediately changed, and he asked Li Chunfeng with a smile: "Spring breeze!" What do you call Xinyue? ”
Li Chunfeng replied without thinking about it: "Senior Sister Jiang! ”
After hearing this title, Wen Zhong immediately laughed and said, "Chunfeng, then you recognize me as a master?" ”
Li Chunfeng reacted at this time, it turned out that Wen Zhong was waiting for him in this place, now that the matter has been clarified, he also expressed his attitude, expressed his willingness to be this disciple, and explained: "I didn't want to be your disciple before, because I was not qualified enough, but now after so many tribulations, I have also figured it out, and I will talk about it later, and the decision made according to my own heart is the most correct choice." ”
After Wen Zhong heard Li Chunfeng's reply, his heart was already happy, and he immediately said, "Why don't you apprentice now?" ”
Li Chunfeng looked around, just a few of them, it was too abrupt, at least someone to testify, who knew that Wen Zhong waved his hand and said: "Our children of the rivers and lakes are not informal, you toast a bowl of tea, kowtow a few heads and become an apprentice." ”
When Yuan Zhi and Jiang Xinyue heard their master's words, they were immediately stunned, still playing like this? At that time, they didn't know how long they begged the master, and they succeeded in apprenticeship in front of everyone, although they were anonymous disciples, but at that time the scene was much better than this, looking at the master like this, for fear that the apprentice in front of him would run away.
Since the master and his old man have said so, Li Chunfeng, who is an apprentice, still dislikes something, and immediately agreed to apprentice here.
Seeing this, Guo Shuanglin immediately ordered someone to bring a cup of tea, after Li Chunfeng took the tea, he knelt in front of Wen Zhong, held the tea and handed it over, Wen Zhong took the tea, took a small sip, Li Chunfeng kowtowed three times, and then Wen Zhong said: "From today on, Li Chunfeng is my descendant disciple and the next head of the Shadow Sect." ”
Li Chunfeng didn't even think about the succession of the head, and he didn't have that energy now, but it was not easy to slap the master and his old man in the face in front of everyone, so he had to agree first, and it would not be too late to explain it to the master in the future.
Wen Zhong saw that the apprenticeship had been completed, and after helping Li Chunfeng up with a smile, he turned his head and said to Jiang Xinyue: "Xinyue, it is okay if your junior brother interceded for that incident just now, if you commit it again in the future, you will not be spared for the teacher." ”
Unexpectedly, the master still remembered this stubble, but helplessly, Jiang Xinyue had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Wen Zhong took out a pitch-black token from his arms and handed it to Li Chunfeng, saying: "This token is the token of the head of our Shadow Sect, our disciples of the Shadow Sect see it as if they are in charge, I will not be in the Shadow Sect in the future, if anyone dares to disobey the order, they can take some of this token to take the power of life and death." ”
Li Chunfeng naturally didn't dare to accept such a valuable thing, and besides, he didn't have time to stay here all the time, so he had to go to Di Bu and hand over this token in his own hands, what if things were delayed.
Li Chunfeng just wanted to hand back the token in his hand, but was pushed back by Wen Zhong, he naturally understood what Li Chunfeng thought, in order not to let this disciple think too much, Wen Zhong opened his mouth and explained: "You don't have to worry about this, there is an old man here, you don't need to worry about the sect affairs, you can rest assured that your subordinates can rest assured." ”
Since the master and the old man have said so, he can't refuse anything anymore, and after accepting the token, Li Chunfeng asked, "Tian ...... Master, how is the battle going on on the other side of the city wall? ”
Wen Zhong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you can go and take a look tomorrow, and you can rest well today." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in place, it seems that Wen Zhong rushed to the city gate again, for this apprentice, Wen Zhong is quite satisfied, Li Chunfeng's adventure along the way is actually clear to him, whether it is to reach the ancient battlefield, or Lao Niu's hometown, and then to the top of the mountain for two years of cultivation, Li Chunfeng's performance is very satisfied, such a good apprentice is difficult to find with a lantern, in order not to let people take the lead, so Wen Zhong will be so eager to accept Li Chunfeng as an apprentice.
Standing on the tower of the city gate, Wen Zhong looked into the distance, his face was full of pride, and he held his beard and said to himself: "Old Wei, it seems that you don't have that blessing, this apprentice old man accepted it first." ”
After staying in the General's Mansion for one night, Li Chunfeng was ready to go to the City Gate Tower with Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Sister Jiang, Zhou Xixi, the girl, was also clamoring to go, and was reprimanded by Jiang Xinyue.
Zhou Xixi, this girl, naturally didn't want to listen to her master's words, even if she was scolded, she had to go, I don't know what Li Chunfeng said to her, and soon agreed to stay.
Walking on the road to the city gate tower, Jiang Xinyue asked curiously: "I said junior brother, what did you say to that girl, why did you stay in the General's Mansion obediently." ”
Li Chunfeng smiled and explained: "I just told this girl that the master is also there, if the performance is not good, the master will be blamed, and as soon as the girl heard this, she immediately agreed, and then I gave her some silver taels and let her wander around the city." ”
Yuan Zhi asked casually: "How much money do you give that girl?" ”
Li Chunfeng didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to say: "Ten taels of silver." ”
Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, the two immediately stopped, ten taels of silver, that is the expenses of ordinary people for a year, and the little junior brother said to give it? He was really a rich man.
Seeing that the two of them stopped, Li Chunfeng also stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
The two hurriedly chased after them, and Yuan Zhi said: "We are almost out of money to live, many disciples have not been paid for months, you are good, spend money so lavishly." ”
"It turned out to be a matter of money, it doesn't matter, I can take out a few thousand taels of silver to support our Shadow Sect, as for Xixi's little girl, those money will be her pocket money, if it's not enough, ask me."
