Chapter 13: Apprenticeship

Although Silly Zhu didn't help the Jia family cook, the blind date continued, and Qin Huai arrived as scheduled at 11 o'clock at noon

Qin Huairu's arrival in the courtyard was like a boulder thrown into the small pond of the courtyard, and in less than a few minutes, everyone in the courtyard knew how beautiful the little girl who came to Jia's blind date was, how big her butt was, and she could hear the effect of the courtyard and Jia Dongxu at the same age, all kinds of envy and jealousy

Yi Zhonghai asked an aunt to come to Jia's house to help, Yi Zhonghai also did his best to Jia's family, and soon Jia's table of dishes was ready, although the dishes were not too rich, but there was also a braised pork, for Qin Huairu, a girl from the countryside, such treatment was the first time I had seen it, and soon Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu knew each other

Both parties are very satisfied with each other, Jia Dongxu was so satisfied with the girl in front of him from the first time he saw Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang's didn't say anything when he saw his son's satisfaction, although Jia Zhang's was not very satisfied that Qin Huairu didn't eat urban commercial grain, but he couldn't stand his son's satisfaction

Soon the two sides finalized the bride price and dowry in front of the matchmaker, and when Qin Huairu came out of the Jia family, he saw the curious onlookers in the courtyard, among which Xu Damao and the Cheng family boy in the front yard reacted the most, Xu Damao felt pity to see such a beautiful girl marrying the Jia family, but he was only 16 years old this year, and he couldn't cut off his beard if he wanted to

Silly Zhu also heard the movement and came to the front yard, and saw the familiar faces in his memory fall into silence, Qin Huairu still married into the courtyard as in his memory, but Silly Zhu didn't plan to change anything, he just had a big deal to stay away from Qin Huairu

After Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu left the courtyard, the crowd watching the excitement also dispersed, but the Jia family married a daughter-in-law who looked like a fairy, which became a hot topic of discussion after the meal

Silly Zhu didn't pay much attention to this matter, and forgot about it in a blink of an eye. After the younger sister came back from outside, she asked her sister to change out of her sweaty clothes and hugged the clothes of the two of them for the past two days to the pool in the middle courtyard and began to wash clothes, at this time, several aunts who were washing clothes by the pool were still discussing the future daughter-in-law of the Jia family

After washing the clothes, it was already about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Silly Zhu took his sister out of the courtyard and prepared to go to the market to buy vegetables

Let my sister buy two popsicles, the two brothers and sisters squatted on the side of the road and began to lick the popsicles, and when they returned to the courtyard after buying some vegetables, it was already more than 5 o'clock

Silly Zhu went home to prepare dinner, the weather was too hot Silly Zhu decided to make cold noodles today, and mixed a cold cucumber to eat, when he heard his sister in the courtyard shouting his voice "Brother come out quickly"

"What's the matter, this is" Silly Zhu hurriedly walked out of the house after hearing his sister's voice, "Brother, come and see, there is an old man fainting at the gate" He Yushui looked anxious

Silly Zhu followed his sister to the gate and found that there was a person who looked not young next to the steps at the door, and when he got closer, he found that this was not the old Taoist priest who told his fortune in front of him, and suddenly remembered the fear when the old Taoist priest told his secret, and immediately wanted to escape, but he couldn't bear to ignore a person's life or death, and thought about helping the old Taoist priest to his home,

The old Taoist priest's face was pale and it seemed that he was suffering from heat stroke, but when he put down the old Taoist priest, he smelled a smell of blood, and he didn't pay attention at the gate at first, but when he returned home, he found that it was the smell of blood, and he was immediately a little scared, this old Taoist priest would not be a spy!

After thinking about it again and again, I decided to go to the street office to find someone to come and take a look, but I didn't expect that at this time, Lao Dao woke up, and saw the unfamiliar environment in front of him with a confused face, and then saw that it was a young man who was looking for his fortune telling but had a master-apprentice relationship with himself, "water" Lao Dao said

The stupid pillar could only let go of the thoughts in his heart first, fed the old Taoist priest a glass of water first, and waited for the old Taoist priest to drink a glass of water and reacted for a moment and said to the stupid pillar: "Young man, I didn't expect you to save me, it seems that the two of us are really fateful."

Silly Zhu didn't react after listening to the old man's words, first worried about where the old Taoist priest was bleeding, the old Taoist thought about it and said that it was not a big problem, it was old and injured, and it was left when he fought the devil, and then he stopped, and the silly pillar saw that the other party did not plan to elaborate and asked if he needed to deal with it

After helping the old Taoist priest deal with his wounds, the old Taoist priest began to say: "Don't be afraid, young man, I am not a bad person, you don't have to be so wary of me, poor Dao is the thirtieth generation of the Shangqing Sect, and the master has been inherited for nearly 2,000 years."

At this time, the three uncles in the courtyard heard that Silly Zhu had saved an old man, and they all came over to express whether they needed help, Silly Zhu did not let a few people into the house, but just said that the family had a heat stroke and needed to rest, and the three of them did not force it, but just said that they asked Silly Zhu to go to the street office to ask if there was a problem with the identity of the old road

Silly Zhu thought about it for a while, but decided to go to the street office to ask Director Wang, don't be at that time, this old Taoist priest is really a spy, then he will become a secret agent and help spy. When I went to the street office, I found Director Wang, and Director Wang followed Silly Zhu to the street office, and after seeing the old Taoist, he reassured Silly Zhu that this Taoist chief had a record in the street office, and the old Taoist chief was also an anti-Japanese hero

After hearing Director Wang's words, Silly Zhu was relieved, and left Director Wang to have a meal at his house that night, Silly Zhu looked at the old Taoist priest sleeping in the room and fell into deep thought, should he leave this old Taoist priest behind

At this time, the old Taoist priest woke up by himself, saw the stupid pillar sitting on the table, and immediately said to the stupid pillar: "Young man, come here, I have something to say to you" The stupid pillar heard the words and looked up and saw the old Taoist priest waking up and calling himself, and then poured a glass of water and then sat down and said to the Taoist who was lying on the bed: "Daoist, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Young man, when you and I met for the first time, I looked at your face and calculated that you and I have a master-apprentice relationship, Lao Dao is now the old injury has recurred, and his life is not long, Lao Dao doesn't want his sect to break off the inheritance when he comes to me" The old Taoist priest looked at the stupid pillar and said with a straight face

Silly Zhu was very surprised after listening to the words of the old Taoist, he and this old Taoist priest actually had a master-apprentice relationship, as for the old Taoist priest to deceive himself, Silly Zhu felt that it was unnecessary, from the first time the two met, the old Taoist priest told his biggest secret, in the eyes of Silly Zhu, this kind of person is already a god

"Dao Chief, I believe what you say, but it is a little difficult for me to accept it for a while as your apprentice, I know what I look like, I still have a little talent in cooking, but I don't know anything else" Silly Zhu said in embarrassment after hearing Lao Dao's request

Silly Zhu knows himself, when he went to school, his grades were counted down in the whole class, and he really worshiped the immortals in front of him as a teacher to learn his kind of cultivation method, and he was purely illiterate when he saw the book~ Blind, after listening to He Yuzhu's words, how could the old Taoist priest, who has lived for a hundred years, not understand He Yuzhu's thoughts, "My sect inheritance is not the kind of deep mountain ascetic people you imagine, there are very few contemporary cultivators, the old Taoist priest has seen some in the early years, since 3 years, the old Taoist has not seen a cultivator, My sect of cultivation is self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and self-cultivation, and cultivation in the red dust, as for the kind of old Taoist priest you think of just to practice and become immortals, I haven't seen it."

After listening to the old Taoist priest's explanation, the stupid pillar immediately understood that he had misunderstood the meaning of cultivation: "Daoist don't know what your inheritance is, I usually have work to support my sister, and I may not have much time to study."

When he heard that the old Taoist priest was very happy when he heard that the stupid pillar intended to apprentice, his life span was not much, and there was no news about the 2 apprentices he received in the early years of the Anti-Japanese War, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he couldn't let the sect break the inheritance, when he calculated that the stupid pillar and himself had a master-apprentice relationship, he thought that he still had a lot of time to teach him, but now that this kind of thing happens, his lifespan is not much, and he didn't force the old Taoist priest to learn how much the stupid pillar could learn, but there was nothing to do, the sect was gradually declining from generation to generation

"I'll call you Zhuzi, I calculated that you should be surnamed He, and when I heard you call my sister Yushui, then you should also be He Yu, but just now I heard someone call you Silly Zhu, your name should be He Yuzhu, right" Hearing the reasoning of the old Taoist priest, Silly Zhu has been shadowed by this kind of person, and he can guess his name by knocking on the side with some connections

Silly Zhu nodded and acquiesced to the old Taoist's speculation: "Pillar, the Taoist mountain, medicine, divination, phase, and my sect are all involved, but the best at it is still the mountain and the doctor, and the phase 3, let me explain it to you."

Mountains are what we call the art of cultivation. Including cultivation, cultivation, alchemy, charms, health preservation, etc. However, since the Ming Dynasty, alchemy charms have almost disappeared.

Medicine refers to the use of medicine, acupuncture, massage, and more mysterious medical methods to treat diseases, health care, and recuperate.

Divination includes divination, auspicious selection, and surveying, the purpose of which is to predict and deal with things, among which the types of divination can be divided into "easy to break" and "six spiritual lessons".

The observation of nature is divided into three types: heaven, earth and man, the most common is man, who speculates everything about man through face, hand, bone, and body, and will tell you about heaven and earth later.

Life is a kind of science that understands life by reasoning about fate, and then improves human life by understanding the laws of nature.

The five techniques of metaphysics: the fate of the mountain doctors is divined, interconnected, and different, for one vein and many branches, the mystery is endless, the old Taoist priest I have lived a hundred years of poor life, can only dabble in general. ”

After listening to the words of the old Taoist, the whole person was stunned, he still underestimated the cultivators, so much to learn, and immediately regretted agreeing to the old Taoist's request, this old Taoist is a hundred years old and just dabbling in it

The old Taoist priest saw the look of the stupid pillar and understood that he regretted agreeing to his request, and immediately said: "The pillar will apprentice tomorrow night, time waits for no one, I don't have much time, I can teach you a little more" After speaking, he closed his eyes again without giving the stupid pillar a chance to refute

After listening to the old Taoist's decision, the stupid pillar felt that he was making trouble for himself, and the old Taoist priest didn't give him a chance to regret it, and the matter was decided, and there was a feeling of being dumb and eating coptis

Silly Zhu woke up early the next morning, woke up He Yushui and asked him to stay at home, if the old Taoist priest needed any help to get it, he would come back at noon to bring them food, He Yushui heard his brother's words and agreed without any opinion

When I arrived at the factory, I saw Secretary Chen waiting for me in the canteen, "Master He, you are here, Lou Dong has guests coming at 11 o'clock, you will prepare 6 dishes at that time, Sichuan cuisine and Lu cuisine are the mainstay, or the old rule, you write me a menu, I will let people prepare dishes for you" Silly Zhu heard Secretary Chen's words, nodded, took the pen and paper, thought about the menu, wrote a few dishes, after Secretary Chen left, Silly Zhu called Sister Wang and Lao Ji, ready to prepare and wait for the ingredients to be sent over

At noon, he brought food to the old Taoist priest and his sister, and the old Taoist priest handed him a piece of paper with something written on it, and the old Taoist priest told the silly pillar that he needed to use these things to buy and bring back when he got off work

Not long after giving things to the old Taoist priest at night, the old Taoist had already put the table, there was an incense burner in the middle, and a portrait hung on the wall: "The pillar is the ancestor of our sect, come and kowtow to the ancestor to make tea, and then bow to the master 9 times, remember to kowtow 3 times, 3 times each time", according to the requirements of the old Taoist, after the stupid pillar was done, the two officially became masters and apprentices

"Zhuzi is 107 years old this year, I am Daoguang 28 years old, according to your current algorithm should be 1845, witnessed the replacement of several dynasties in modern China, experienced the invasion of the Eight Kingdoms, the Beiyang coup, the War of Resistance against Japan, New China is the richest sunrise era I have seen in this hundred years, our sect's practice is pure heart decision, now teach you how to practice, as for the rest of the medicine, divination, etc., I will teach you in the next few days"
