Listening to the sound of a child's fight in the outhouse, Jiang Qi was no longer surprised by the two old children, and it would not end every time the two old men got together over the years without a fight.

After a simple change of clothes, Jiang Qi ignored what was going on outside the window, and began to study in the morning, he was already familiar with the dozen or so military books in the grass house, and he rarely read them, just waiting for the opportunity to use them, otherwise it would be useless to only talk about soldiers on paper.

Now Jiang Qi basically learns medical skills and prescriptions every morning, although he has no interest in medical skills at all, but he is also idle when he is idle, so he should read miscellaneous books to pass the time.

Of course, in addition to reading medical books, Jiang Qi also learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, but in the past two years, he has been studying by himself, and it is completely the master who leads him into the door to practice, and he can only rely on himself to slowly explore things that require talent such as performance and painting.

Not to mention chess skills, Jiang Qi only knows alchemy all day, except for the master who will kill him for two games on a whim at night, the rest of the time is his left hand and right hand fighting.

Compared with the boredom in the morning, the afternoon time is Jiang Qi's happy time, compared with the lifeless reading, practicing boxing and fighting strength is his favorite, don't look at his thin arms and legs now, but every time he swings it, there is a thousand catties of power, plus his fist that is as hard as iron, and now the trunk with the thickness of the bowl mouth is only a punch in front of him.

Of course, in addition to practicing martial arts, Jiang Qi is not idle, as long as he has time every day, he will carry a five-stone hard bow into the mountains and forests to hunt for fun, and his footprints have been all over every corner of the valley in the past few years.

Therefore, in the safari, Jiang Qi also studied why he couldn't get out of this valley back then, it turned out that his old Taoist master arranged a subtle Qimen Bagua Array in the valley, if he couldn't find the method, the people outside couldn't get in, and the people inside couldn't get out at all, and there was even the danger of being trapped in the death array, and he was lucky that he was just spinning in place for a day.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The evening breeze hit, with the dampness and coldness of spring, and the two masters and apprentices simply ate dinner with the help of soybean-sized oil lamps.

After the meal, Zuo Ci naturally began to tinker with his broken Dan furnace unchanged for eternity, Jiang Qi cleaned up the food box as always, and cleaned up the tableware, in the past few years, Jiang Qi, who erased some edges and corners, also learned to take care of himself and take care of the old way by the way.

When night fell, there was still some time before washing the tendons and bones, and Jiang Qi, who had nothing to do, picked up the jade flute that he had coaxed and tricked from his old Taoist master, and prepared to go out to breathe.

On a spring night, the air was filled with the scent of fresh herbs, and Jiang Qi walked along the wooden promenade on Alchemy Lake, starry in the clear night sky.

The air in early spring is still a little cold, Jiang Qi is only wearing a thin robe in the breeze, sitting cross-legged at the end of the corridor, the quiet lake under the corridor is glowing with a faint silver light in the bright moonlight, and a small canopy boat is tied to the fence next to him.

At this time, there was silence between heaven and earth, except for the occasional cry of wild beasts in the mountains and the tapping sound of chasing clouds after eating the night grass and walking.

Looking at the moon in the curved sky, Jiang Qi couldn't help but think of his mother and sister in the distance, as he grew older, he was not an ignorant child, and his thoughts were heavy, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "I don't know how my mother and sister are doing, hey、、、、"

With the thought Jiang Qi put the jade flute into his mouth, the slender hand began to beat constantly on the Xiao body, although he hoped every day, Jiang Qi's fingers were still flexible and free, and a long song slowly came out of Xiao Zhong in the finger beating, and gradually echoed in the valley.

In the beautiful song, sometimes anxious and slow with a touch of sadness along the lake to the distance, I don't know when, Zuo Ci, who should have been busy with alchemy, appeared next to Jiang Qi, but Jiang Qi, who was silent in the music, didn't know it until the song was over, and he felt that he was distracted after putting away his mood.

Quickly put away a sad face and replaced it with the original dead-skinned face, Jiang Qi dared to turn to Zuo Ci and said: "Old Dao, it's not good to drum up your own broken Dan furnace、、、 how can you want to come to catch fish!" ”

Zuo Ci smiled and sat down next to Jiang Qi: "You stinky boy, you haven't been doing right all day, why are you homesick again?"

"Why, how can I murmur! That's not what you said! Isn't there a corresponding mood when playing the repertoire? How was he moved" Jiang Qi was told through by the master, but he didn't want to admit it, so he pretended to laugh.

"How long has Yu Yang been in the mountain with his master!" Zuo Ci didn't want to dwell on this topic, and looked at the starry sky and asked.

Jiang Qi turned his head to look at Zuo Ci and said suspiciously, "How can you ask like this?" That's five years! ”

"Yes, it's been five years, I still remember when you and I met for the first time, you kid was still half-dead, but now you are about to become a promising teacher" Zuo Ci smiled and combed his long white beard, recalling the past.

When it was mentioned, Jiang Qi scratched his scalp with a smile and said, "I'm embarrassed to mention it, haven't I been half-dead all these years?" ”

"Yes! It's hard to look back on those days. It's just that you left the master, and it's good to think about it for the teacher these days. Regarding Jiang Qi's joke, Zuo Ci smiled and twisted his beard and kept nodding his head, not displeased, but as if he was reminiscing about the past time.

"Why did Lao Dao say that, how could I leave 、、、" Although Jiang Qi was very touched, he was also a quick-witted person, and immediately heard what Zuo Ci said, and looked at Zuo Ci with a strange expression with a smile and asked suspiciously.

Zuo Ci knew that Jiang Qi heard what he meant, so he immediately fell silent, and only then did he put away his smile and said, "After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that it was time to send you down the mountain、、、

After hearing Zuo Ci's words, Jiang Qi couldn't help but be startled, even how he played before, he didn't hear the old Taoist master say this, but now that he said this, Jiang Qi panicked, and quickly got up and knelt down in front of Zuo Ci.

Although Jiang Qi has called this Zuo Ci an old man all these years, and he has been arguing with him all day long, in fact, he has already recognized this teacher in his heart, even if he used to think about going home as soon as possible all day long, but now Zuo Ci's words make him feel inexplicably sad in his heart.

"Whether the master is a disciple who has done something wrong, the master directly tells the disciple that the disciple must correct it, and only begs the master not to drive the disciple away、、、、"

Seeing Jiang Qi so nervous, how could Zuo Ci be willing in his heart: "Yu Yang, hurry up, when did the master say that he wanted to drive you away, but today I can hear you call Lao Dao master, but it makes the teacher very happy."

"But Master Gang said that he wanted to let Yu Yang go down the mountain、、、、"

Zuo Ci patted Jiang Qi on the shoulder to get him up and said: "Yes, for the teacher, he said that he wanted you to go down the mountain, and for the teacher, I thought about it for a long time these days, and felt that you were no longer suitable for cultivating in the mountains, so I decided to send you down the mountain, and now you are staying in the mountains will only delay your life."

Looking at Jiang Qi's puzzled expression, Zuo Ci then said: "Does Yu Yang feel that there is nothing to do during this time. ”

Jiang Qi nodded seriously after hearing this: "Yes, the disciple feels that the martial arts have reached a bottleneck, and the progress is extremely slow. ”

"That's why the teacher thinks you're no longer fit to stay in the mountains." Zuo Ci said slowly: "After many years of getting along, the master feels that you are not suitable to be a person at all, first, you do not have the understanding to be a Taoist, and it may be too unfair for you to bury yourself in the mountains, and you have embarked on the path you should take." ”

"But the disciple is reluctant to leave the master, and without the master's earnest teaching, the disciple does not know how to grow." Seeing Zuo Ci's resolute appearance, Jiang Qi's eyes were hazy, and crystal tears unconsciously slid down his face.

"Okay, the boy doesn't flick if he has tears." Feeling Jiang Qi's sincerity, Zuo Ci also felt the same in his heart, but Ren Ran forcibly took out a white hand towel and handed it to Jiang Qi: "Actually, being a teacher is not to let you leave, but I feel that it is time to find you a new master." ”

"Find another master, but the disciple thinks that the master is already the best in the world." I didn't expect the master to have such an idea, and Jiang Qi wiped his tears and said in surprise.

"Haha, you stinky boy is comforting the teacher again" Zuo Ci was praised by Jiang Qi and laughed so much that his white beard flew wildly, and he said after half a sound: "If you are a teacher in cultivation and alchemy, you dare to say that there is really no one in the world, but you have been practicing for the teacher for a long time over the years, do you think you like it?" You've been peeing in the furnace all these years、、、"

"Hehe、、、" Jiang Qi smiled awkwardly, and he blushed a little.

Looking at the smiling face of his disciple, Zuo Ci continued: "Yes, you are the most talented among the people that the master has seen, but unfortunately my family is not blessed. But no matter what you achieve in the future, as a teacher, I want you to remember that you were once a Taoist disciple. In the future, if you have the ability one day, remember to be based on benevolence and righteousness, and put kindness first. If you can think more about the people of the world in the future, you will not live up to the life-saving grace of your teacher."

"The disciple strictly obeys the teachings of the master, and is the Tao for one day and the Tao for life." Although Jiang Qi didn't understand the meaning of his master's words, he still solemnly promised.

"If that's the case, the master will be comforted" Zuo Ci nodded with satisfaction,

The two masters and apprentices said like this, unconsciously a glimmer of light appeared in the east, in the whole night of talking, Jiang Qi deeply felt the care of the master, in Zuo Ci's repeated advice Jiang Qi burst into tears again, now although the parting is imminent, but this night of chatting has made the relationship between the two masters and apprentices get closer than ever.

"Yu Yang, you have been learning art as a teacher for many years, but you forgot to ask if you have any ambitions" With the rising morning light, Zuo Ci stood facing the wind on the lake, and asked Jiang Qi, the apprentice on the side, with emotion.

Regarding Zuo Ci's serious questioning, Jiang Qi changed his sadness last night, and said with a big grin: "Yes, the apprentice plans to rely on the martial arts taught by the master to rob the house, rob the rich and help the poor, and when he has money, he will buy a few acres of land, build a beautiful house, and marry a few beautiful daughters-in-law、、、、、、 ah、、、 I was wrong、、、

Naturally, in the midst of the gibberish, Jiang Qi looked at the master's changing face and immediately ran away.

Zuo Ci looked at the beloved apprentice who was crawling away with a rolling belt, smiled again, and said in his heart: "This kid still looks cynical, but it's okay, at least all you leave for the teacher is laughter."
