Chapter 16: Returning the Favor to the Master
The Great Elder was not there, so Chen Jing had no choice but to put down his things and chat with Wu De.
During the conversation, Chen Jing slowly learned about Wude's life.
Before Wu Debai entered the Changchun Valley, he was a young man in a mountain village, and his parents were the most honest farmers.
After he entered the Changchun Valley, he cherished this opportunity very much, and practiced wholeheartedly, ignoring anything.
Even the elders who taught the disciples were blinded, and when Wu De worshipped the entry sect, no one could see that he had extremely high martial arts qualifications. In just five years, Wu De cultivated the basic internal strength of Changchun Valley to perfection.
Once, he competed with his classmates, and he showed his strong internal strength with every move.
The Great Elder noticed Wu De and promoted Wu De to an inner disciple, giving him the opportunity to cultivate the Changchun Jue.
After entering the inner gate, Wu De worked harder, and in three years, he cultivated the Changchun Jue to the sixth level.
When the Great Elder found out, he was very happy, and he was ready to accept Wude as a disciple and teach him "Changchun Immortal Gong".
It's a pity that Wu Dezhi is not in the martial arts, from childhood to adulthood, he has a dream, that is, to be able to get ahead and glorify his ancestors!
Many of the disciples of Changchun Valley are officials in the imperial court, and almost all of the imperial doctors and masters in the palace are disciples of Changchun Valley.
After Wude learned martial arts, he applied to the sect to leave Changchun Valley and go to the capital to participate in the selection of Ouchi masters.
The Great Elder was disappointed, but he knew that with the character of martial virtue, no matter how high the martial arts were, he couldn't mix it up in the court.
Before Wu De left, the Great Elder who loved Cai accepted Wu De as a registered disciple and said to Wu De.
"If one day, you regret it. The door of Fu Yao Xuan is open for you at any time. ”
Wude is a stubborn character, although he was moved, but for his dream, he still left Changchun Valley.
Wude is too honest, he is generous, he doesn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts at all, he thinks that if he has the ability, he can get ahead.
However, as soon as he entered the capital, he was put on a table, and all the silver on his body was cheated away.
He is not familiar with the place, he is honest and honest, he would rather endure hardships than ask for help, and he is not willing to seek rescue from the same door in the capital, on the first day of his arrival in the capital, he spent the night in the mountain temple outside the city.
In order to make a living, in order to raise the registration fee, he found a job with food and lodging - a corpse bearer.
The capital is a place where dignitaries gather, those dignitaries and nobles, regard human life as a mustard, every day, there are dignitaries and nobles in the city maids and servants are killed.
Wu De's job was to transport the bodies of these maids and slaves to mass graves.
In this way, after half a year, he saved enough registration fees and went to participate in the Ouchi master assessment.
This time, Wude was subjected to unspoken rules again, because Wude did not give gifts to the examiner, and the examiner felt that Wude did not know the current affairs, so he wanted to make a stumbling block for Wude in the assessment.
Fortunately, among the Ouchi masters, there are many people who are disciples of Changchun Valley, and they recognized their fellow disciples and solved this matter for Wude.
With a backer, Wu De finally rejected Ji Tai, and he passed all the way, successfully joined the royal guard, and became a glorious forbidden army.
After that, he made many contributions in a row, began to stand out in the Forbidden Army, and finally, even became the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard.
But that's it.
The battle for the crown prince can't be avoided by anyone in a high position, Wu De is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, how can he stay out of it?
It's a pity that he is too stubborn, sticks to the rules, doesn't know how to be flexible, and offends all camps.
In the end, in order to balance the forces of all parties, the emperor took Wude as an outcast.
If it weren't for Wude's background in Changchun Valley, he would definitely be more than just losing his position.
"The officialdom is too dark, and the saints are deceived by traitors, who do not know people, and who are wronged and loyal. Official, I'm not going to be it anymore! ”
Wu De said bitterly.
Seeing that Wude was sold and helped to count the money, Chen Jingzhen didn't know what to say.
He is a Blue Star person, and he can't understand that kind of loyal monarch thinking. He is grateful to Changchun Valley, not loyal, he is only true to himself.
"Senior brother, what are your plans next?"
Chen Jing asked.
"Are you going to?"
Wu De smiled bitterly, "What other plans do you have, just serve the master well in the future." In the past, it was I who failed Master and his old man. ”
Seeing Wude's lonely expression, Chen Jing habitually stretched out his hand, patted Wude's shoulder, and gave Wude an encouraging look.
Unconsciously, he forgot that he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man now, not a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Fortunately, Wu De is not from Blue Star, he doesn't know the meaning of Chen Jing's actions, he just said:
"Senior brother, don't worry, this time, I won't let Master down."
The senior brothers talked for more than half an hour, and as soon as they finished talking, the Great Elder came back.
Seeing Chen Jing in the Fu Yao Xuan, the Great Elder was not surprised, it seemed that he had heard the news from the other disciples.
Still, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jing disappeared for more than a month, and as a master, he was very uneasy.
Chen Jing took the initiative to salute.
"Master, the disciple is back."
"Know you're back?"
The Great Elder sat down and said angrily.
Chen Jing smiled slightly and explained, "It's the disciple's fault that makes the master worry. The reason why it took so long for the disciple to come back was because he had encountered an adventure. ”
"Adventure? What adventure? ”
When the Great Elder heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
He has lived for more than eighty years, and he has never encountered an adventure, and he, a disciple, can encounter an adventure when he returns home?
Seeing that the Great Elder didn't believe it, Chen Jing hurriedly brought a small burden to the Great Elder.
"On the way home, the disciple passed by the Luoyan Forest, accidentally got lost, strayed into a paradise, and got a lot of treasures from it."
The Great Elder glanced at Chen Jing suspiciously, and then opened the small baggage.
When he saw the things in the baggage, he was finally shocked.
The medicinal materials that Chen Jing dug up were too precious, and all of them were holy medicines for healing, some to stop bleeding, some to replenish qi, and some to detoxify.......
Any one of them will cause countless bloody storms on the rivers and lakes.
"Looks like you've really had an adventure."
The Great Elder gasped.
Except for encountering adventures, he really couldn't think of where Chen Jing got so many medicinal materials.
Wu De didn't know these herbs, and when he saw the Great Elder's reaction, he immediately became curious.
"Master, are these herbs precious?"
"Of course it's precious!"
"This is a three-leaf intermittent flower, and the flowers it blooms have the effect of connecting the meridians and repairing the dantian."
"This is Tianxiang Cardamom, no matter how seriously injured you are, as long as you take three pieces in a row, you can come back to life."
"This kind of fruit is the Void Yang Fruit, there are some divine skills on the rivers and lakes, and you need to be from the palace to cultivate, but if you have this Void Yang Fruit, you can practice without being from the palace."
"Don't touch it, you're clumsy, what should you do if you hurt these treasures?"
The Great Elder saw that Wu De was about to stretch out and touch the medicinal herbs, and scolded him again and again.
At this time, the Great Elder regarded these medicinal herbs as forbidden pills, and whoever wanted to harm these medicinal herbs could fight with whomever he wanted.
"Master, there are a few more packets here. The disciple has nothing to repay the master, only to repay the master with these herbs. ”
Chen Jing brought up five more burdens and mentioned them in front of the Great Elder together.
"What did you say?"
The Great Elder who was about to check the medicinal herbs in the other baggage paused, and he suspected that he had misheard.
So many treasures, all of which are priceless, just give them to him?
Chen Jing smiled slightly and said, "Master also knows that the disciple's medical skills are far inferior to Master. These medicinal herbs are in the hands of the disciples and do not play a role. They are different in the hands of the Master, who needs these herbs to heal the sick and save people. ”
Seeing Chen Jing's sincere gaze, the Great Elder felt very relieved. However, the medicinal herbs were too precious, and he didn't want to take advantage of Chen Jing.
Seeing that the Great Elder hesitated, Chen Jing had no choice but to say, "Master, you also know that the disciple is still young. In the future, it is necessary to break through the rivers and lakes. A disciple can't run around the rivers and lakes with a body of treasures, right? ”
The Great Elder thought about it, so he compromised: "In this case, being a teacher will not disappoint you." ”
