Chapter 18: Apprenticeship
Su Qing stared at the four divine beasts with wide eyes, unconsciously slowed down, and measured them carefully, these four divine beasts have different shapes, a bit like the appearance of the Blue Dragon White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu in the legend of the mortal world, are the legends true? Bai He also stopped after noticing it, and seemed to feel the confusion in his eyes and explained to him: "These four divine beasts are the four divine beasts in your mouth, Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, don't be surprised. These four divine beasts were founded by the ancestor of our Immortal Sect and followed the ancestor to fight the world together. With the death of the ancestor immortal, these four divine beasts sealed themselves and turned into statues, stored the true spirits in the statues, and then guarded our immortal sect to this day. I don't need to say more about the middle one, that is the founding ancestor of our immortal sect. Bai He said while walking, the two came to the statue of the founder of the mountain under the incense tripod, Bai He did not know where to take out three incense sticks in his hand and waved gently, the three incense without fire spontaneously combusted, the incense head floated out of bursts of green smoke. Bai He first bowed three times to the ancestor of the opening mountain, and then bowed to each divine beast before putting the incense into the incense ding, and after doing all this, he took out three sticks of incense and lit it, glanced back at Su Qing and said, "Brother Su, you also come." ”
Su Qing hurriedly stepped forward, nodded, took the incense in Bai He's hand, and did it according to Bai He's appearance just now. Bai He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Su, let's go." Master, the elders have been waiting for a long time. ”
Su Qing sighed, nodded and followed Bai He to cross the statue and walk back, behind the statue was where the main hall of the Xianyi Sect was located. Walking into the main hall, there are five old men who fall into view, in the center of the hall sits an old man with a white beard and white hair, and the remaining four old men sit on both sides and sit in turn.
When Su Qing stepped into the main hall, the five old men looked at him in unison with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and the five eyes instantly fell on him, making him feel flattered. Bai He clasped his fists at the old man in the middle and the other four old men and said, "Master, elders, Su Qing has already brought it." ”
The old man in the middle said to Bai He: "Thank you for your hard work, you go and rest." Then he looked at Su Qing again.
Su Qing hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "I've seen the real person in charge, as well as the elders and immortals. "Anyway, bury your head low and can't hold it down.
The real person in charge stretched out his right hand and raised it lightly towards Su Qing, and said with a smile: "Good boy, raise your head quickly." ”
Su Qing only felt a gentle force slowly raise his arms, and then the whole person stood straight, his hands on his sides, slightly nervous, and couldn't help pinching the corners of his clothes.
The head of the sect stood up with a slight smile, walked to Su Qing's side, grabbed his wrist, walked to a table in the side hall and sat down, and the four elders also got up and sat down in turn.
The real person in charge took Su Qing's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, child, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Su Qing's eyes widened and he opened his mouth slightly, he never thought that the first time he met with the real person in charge would be such an opening statement, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "The real person in charge, have we met before?" ”
"Of course, it's just that you didn't remember me when you were still an infant." The real person in charge stroked his beard and said slowly, "At the beginning, your life was hanging by a thread, and it happened that I passed by the territory of Daming and learned about this matter and arrived in time to prevent the other party's trick from succeeding." ”
When Su Qing heard this, he immediately got up, bowed his head and said loudly: "More life-saving grace from the real person in charge." ”
The real person in charge helped Su Qing up, and said with a guilty face: "Where is the life-saving grace, thank you or not, the disciple is in trouble outside, can the master still ignore it?" Your father and Emperor Daming are both disciples of our Xianyi Sect, and they have left the sect, but they are neither defected nor expelled from the sect, the friendship between master and apprentice, and the friendship between the sect and the sect are still there after all. On the contrary, we didn't protect our disciples, when I just assumed the position of the sect master, many fellow sects continued to ask the Sword Immortal Sect and there were still many things to deal with outside the sect, so that it was a shame that I didn't save your father and mother because I didn't have the skills. ”
Su Qing couldn't cry, looked at the real person in charge with slightly red eyes, and hurriedly said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, it's me who dragged my father and mother down." ”
The real person in charge wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Qing's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Good boy, don't have this thought, all the parents in the world are not full of hope that their children can be safe, you are the continuation of their lives, you not only have to live, but also live well, so that your father and mother will feel at ease." Now that you have also entered our Immortal Sect, you will settle down first and heal your wounds. Elder Mozhu is our Immortal Sect Alchemy Master, why don't you worship under Elder Mozhu first? After that, the real person in charge looked at the old man beside him and said to Su Qing, that old man was the person who was more optimistic about Su Qing in the main hall before.
Su Qing nodded, and said directly without hesitation: "It's all up to the real person in charge." After that, he bowed to Elder Mozhu three times and said, "Meet Master." ”
Elder Mozhu hurriedly helped Su Qing up, patted him on the shoulder with joy in his eyes and said, "Good boy, hurry up, there is no such red tape in our sect." ”
Su Qing nodded, a warm current flowed in the bottom of his heart, for so many years, there was no one behind him, he was used to facing everything alone, he had made a lot of preparations and coping methods before coming to Xianyimen, but what he didn't expect was that after entering Xianyimen, it would be a confession scene, and he would never be alone in the future, and he would not face everything alone.
Seeing this scene, the head of the sect was also full of joy and said: "Okay, today, today can be regarded as a great joy in our sect, having said so much, I haven't introduced you to the other elders." After that, he stood up and said to a slightly fat Taoist priest: "This is the punishment elder of our sect, Elder Cui, this is the Elder of the Transmission of Gong, Elder Zhang, and this is Elder Bai, and he is also taking care of many things in the sect." ”
Su Qing greeted the elders one by one, Mo Zhu waved his hand in front of everyone, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, there will be more opportunities to meet them in the future, the time is not early, and follow me back to seal the medicine peak first." With that, he took Su Qing's arm and left.
Everyone laughed and said: "Okay, you old bamboo, if you get the baby apprentice, you will slip away immediately, for fear that we will rob you." ”
Elder Mo turned a deaf ear and pulled Su Qing directly away, a bright light flashed in the teleportation array, and the two disappeared.
Looking at the figures of the two of them who disappeared in the distance, the real person in charge of the head put away his smile and sighed lightly, and Elder Cui, who was in charge of punishment, shouted: "Senior brother in charge? ”
The head of the real person said in a low voice: "I know what you have to say, this child has suffered since he was a child, his life has been bumpy, and he has finally survived and suffered a great disaster, I am afraid that this child's heart is full of anger, even if he steps into the path of cultivation, he will be afraid of having demons in his heart and ruining his life." If this child is not allowed to practice, according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will embark on a road of no return. Now I only hope that Senior Brother Cui can temper his temperament through alchemy, and treat his injuries by the way. ”
When everyone heard this, the originally happy scene fell into silence.
Not long after, Elder Mozhu took Su Qing to Fengyao Peak, and along the way, Elder Mozhu kept holding Su Qing's arm, secretly naturally investigating Su Qing's physical condition, and suddenly his aura in Su Qing's body was shocked by a dark force and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"What's wrong, Master?" Su Qing turned his head to look at Mo Zhu and asked, the memory of being dragged away like this was already very vague, and he didn't notice the change in Mo Zhu's expression for a while.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that when I just investigated your physical injuries, I found that your injuries were already healed."
"Thanks to Senior Brother Bai's dedication to healing my wounds, I got better so quickly."
"The superficial wound is almost healed, but I just discovered that there is a dark wound in your body that is still there, and it hasn't healed for many years. Not only that, the power contained in this wound is too strong, even I am not sure what the injury is, your current situation is that the appearance seems to be safe and sound, in fact, the internal collapse is serious, and the gold floc is ruined on the outside, if this wound is not eliminated, it will suddenly attack one day in the future, it will be very serious! Elder Mozhu frowned and said with a worried expression. Regarding Su Qing's injury, Elder Mozhu did not choose to hide it, but directly revealed it all, in case he was not by his side one day in the future, he would also be prepared in advance.
Su Qing opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, then he chuckled, looked at Elder Mozhu and said with a smile: "It's okay Master, for so many years, there has been a knife hanging above my head that will fall at any time, I am used to it, it is not a big deal for me." Besides, I should have died a long time ago, but now living one more day is earning one more day, not to mention that now I have worshiped my master and met my senior brother, my uncle, and I have returned to the place where my father originally studied art, and I am very satisfied now. ”
Mo Zhu touched Su Qing's head with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: How can it be okay, this child has finally escaped from the sea of suffering and has hope, but he doesn't know that what awaits him is greater suffering and disappointment. Thinking of this, Mo Zhu also felt a pain in his heart, and then the index finger of his right hand condensed a little spiritual light and pointed it at the center of Su Qing's eyebrows, and said: "This is all the books about pills and a mantra that can help you cultivate when I am tired of reading books, and when I am tired of cultivating, I can also read books to pass the time." ”
Su Qing shouted in a low voice, Master, Mo Zhu shook his head, signaled him not to say anything more, and then took out a waist card and handed it to Su Qing and said: "You take this waist card, you can go to any empty house in the peak and choose one as your house, and you can use most of the teleportation formations in our sect, but you are still a mortal now, don't use it too often, it will not be beneficial to your body." When you step into cultivation, you will be able to slowly learn about the other functions of this waist card. There are a total of three disciples on my Feng Yao Peak, you are the fifth, and now they are all training outside the sect, and when they come back, you can get to know each other again. ”
Su Qing was stunned and asked a little puzzled, "Master, why do I have three senior brothers and I am ranked fifth?" ”
Elder Mozhu grinned lightly and said, "Because no one wants to be the second elder!" ”
