Since returning home with Master, the city of Wuhan has been absent for half a year. I didn't have any contact with Qin Bukong halfway through, and even when I knew the other party's address, I didn't write a letter.

So this time I went to Wuhan again, in fact, I couldn't have predicted the result. Earlier, when Master was by my side, Qin Bukong had to sell so much two cents of face to Master, but now that Master has passed away, I don't have to go back to him again, but since I went, I will inevitably be bullied in the future.

When I knocked on Qin Bukong's door, it was already close to dusk. He was a little drunk at this time, and the first thing he said when he saw me was. Are you here, are you done? Where is Lin Qishan buried? I ignored him, because I didn't think it would be possible for him to pay homage to my master in his lifetime. So I only told him that everything was dealt with, come back and continue to help you, if you still have the original heart, you can also accept me as an apprentice.

There have always been only apprentices who ask for apprenticeship, and I am probably an exception, I myself am not willing to worship Qin Bukong as a teacher, but the master's entrustment. I also have to worship. However, if Qin Bukong himself doesn't mean this, then he can't blame me for not respecting my master's life, and when I meet in the fairy world in the future, I can use this as an excuse to play scoundrels with my master.

But Qin Bukong smiled slightly, his face was full of drunkenness, and he turned around and made way for me to enter the house and put my things. He himself went back to the table, took out another glass, then walked to the door, filled his glass, and asked me, "Your hometown is the West here, right?" I said yes and didn't understand what he was going to do. I saw him look for directions, and then he raised his glass three times above his head to the west, and then pressed the glass against his forehead, as if he was silently reciting something, and then put the wine in the glass. All sprinkled on the ground facing west.

Then he handed me the wine glass, and then said, I, Qin, have lived so much for a long time, and I have always been a lonely person, and this Lin Qishan asked me before leaving, saying that you have good talents, and you have a relatively deep foundation, and in time, you will become a famous party.

Qin Bukong took the wine bottle and filled it for himself, and then filled the wine glass in my hand, and then said, You stinky boy, I don't know if you are a famous person, but you have a violent temper and personality, which I like. Come on, come on, drink this glass of wine, even if you worship me as a teacher.

He was already a little drunk, and I knew that this person often went back on his word and didn't choose what to say, so what he said at the moment may not be sincere. Qin Bukong's good drinking and gambling were long before I came to Wuhan, and I had heard Mo Langzhong talk about it. In the year since I spent a year with him, he has been drinking almost every day. But gambling I've never seen before. His own explanation is that the state is now very strict, and if he catches it, he will go to jail or something. And obviously I know in my heart that even if a capable person like him really catches him, it will be a matter of minutes to escape or make some movement. And with his personality, he will definitely do the same. So I never knew why I had heard that this person was a gambler, but I had never seen him.

After Qin Bukong said this, he drank all the wine in the cup. But I didn't drink it with my cup, and when he saw that I didn't drink it, he asked me, "What's the matter, you still don't think about my ability, do you?" I shook my head and took a symbolic sip. Qin Bukong was furious and said, don't be like a woman, give me a sip and drink it.

The so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses. That's probably what I am. With a madman like Qin Bukong, he can't be hard-hitting, and he doesn't need to be drunk either. Besides, I have never looked down on his ability, what I really don't look down on is actually his character. So I raised my glass, took a sip, and began to light a cigarette without saying a word, and began to organize my own things.

Qin Bukong patted me on the shoulder and said, wait a minute, you will clean up, come and drink with me first. With that, he pulled me to the edge of the table. In addition to the wine bottle and wine glass, there was only a plate of dried tofu and a plate of salted and crispy peanuts on the table, so I remembered Master's previous advice not to disobey this person casually, so I sat down and began to eat the snacks while slowly drinking with him.

If a person is considered a hobby, then getting drunk must be a bit of a concern. Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, it was already dark. Qin Bukong said to me. Do you think that I accepted you as an apprentice, there is no formal process, just a glass of wine, very informal? I said yes, so I'd better wait until you sober up. Qin Bukong snorted and said. You people, who don't look like children of the rivers and lakes, don't you just accept an apprentice? What are you doing with all that mess, let the apprentice kneel on the ground for a few hours, which immortal would do such a thing?

He filled another glass and said. I, Qin Bukong, never accept apprentices, not because I am afraid of my own trouble, but because I am afraid of the trouble of my apprentices. I've been used to being a person for so many years, if it weren't for Lin Qishan's stubborn fighting, how could I accept you as an arrogant boy who doesn't know the height of the sky.

As soon as he said that, my temper started again. I feel like I'm between Qin Bukong. It seems that there is a mismatch, and it has only been a few hours since we met, and I have wanted to be mad at him several times. This time, he actually said that my master was stalking, just to beg him to accept me as an apprentice. So I told him coldly, my master is not a stalker, if you think I am not worthy of being your apprentice. If you don't accept it, let's all have a great time, follow you to break the Eight Gate Strange Array, let's go our own way, I completed the master's entrustment, because my master and I are both trustworthy people, promised other people's things, no matter how difficult it is, we have to continue to do it, but Master Qin, can you do this?

There was a hint of sarcasm in my tone. I didn't really want to provoke him, but this person's emotions were very strange. There are some places that cannot be touched, otherwise it is easy to lose control. But after Qin Bukong heard it, he laughed, and he said, Yo, your stubborn temper has come up again? Your master is gracious to you. Not for me. What can't be said, your master hopes that someone can take care of you like him in the future, and he is afraid that if you have no support, you will become like me, a lonely person, do you know stinky boy!

Qin Bukong's last sentence used a very strange tone. It was as if I was a person who didn't understand anything, and he was deliberately reminding me. But when I heard him say this, I was shocked in my heart, could it be that Master was really worried that I would be alone in the future, so he wanted to help me find someone to rely on? At that moment, my nose suddenly became sore. The feeling of wanting to cry came back to me, and I quickly restrained it, drank the wine from the glass, swallowed it with a grunt, let the pungent sensation of the alcohol echo in my throat, and then praised it. Ay! This is a drink!

I used this way to resolve the embarrassment of wanting to cry, and in retrospect, it was really a bit useless.

Qin Bukong probably didn't notice my abnormality, and after seeing that I finished drinking, he filled me with another glass. He went on to say, "Do you know what your biggest problem is?" It's not ruthless enough. For so long, you must have thought I was a ruthless person. If Lin Qishan is half as ruthless as me, the apprentices he teaches are many times better than you are now. But if you follow me, I won't try to teach you, but I will take the time to teach you some secrets and mental methods first. Memorize it by heart and practice it diligently, even if you have my Dharma lineage in you.

Qin Bukong continued, although I accept you as an apprentice, I don't want you to call me Master, you can call me whatever you like. Between us, there is no need to treat each other as a master and apprentice, if someone in my Qin dies forever in the future, I don't expect you to send me to the end. My work is very miscellaneous, including many sects, the most of which are spells and witchcraft, these skills that you once seemed unelegant to the hall have allowed me to crisscross the world for so many years, and I have rarely suffered losses, but you remember, if you fight with others in the future, you will have the upper hand, either you will give me back with interest, or you will survive until death, and do not admit that you are my apprentice!

I thought about it, and then nodded, that's fine, since he said that there is no need to be a master and apprentice, it saves me the biggest worry before. Because the principle of being a teacher for one day and a father for life is still deeply ingrained in the hearts of our generation, it is really difficult for me to learn Master's craft while gritting my teeth at the same time.

So I agreed to him and told him that because the lineage of this sect is different from his, there may be some places where it is difficult to interchange and integrate with him. So I will learn these crafts as much as Qin Bukong teaches, but whether I can learn them well or not, I don't pack a ticket. And I choked him back and said that if I fight with others in the future, I think it will be difficult to suffer much loss by relying on the skills taught by my master.

I'm not boasting about this, because I've learned the art of playing talismans, and to some extent, I can be regarded as mastering the ability to defeat the enemy in one move.

Qin Bukong snorted, seemingly disdainful of my master's ability. It's not the first time he's done this, and I'm too lazy to fight for a win. Qin Bukong took the chopsticks and sipped them in his mouth, then reached into the wine glass and dipped some wine, wrote a word on the table, and then said to me, your master's name is Lin Qishan, so he gave you the word "mountain"; And my name is Qin Bukong, so I will also give you the word "empty" as the name of the master. This word is also quite interesting, I am not empty, you are empty, you are destined to follow me for the rest of your life, hahaha.

So I stood up and saluted Qin Bukong respectfully, just like when we first met, he was in my guest house room. Then I got up and said to him, thank you for giving the word, but you don't forget to be a man, and you don't dare to forget the name given by the teacher.
