XXXVIII. Apprenticeship at the order of the teacher

After Chen Lu came back, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he lay down in his clothes, and the teacher Ade came in, wet all over, still holding an umbrella in his hand, and the umbrella was still dripping with water, as if he had come over on a rainy day.

Chen Lu wondered, it was the middle of winter in the ninth month, how could it rain on this snowy plateau?

Chen Lu felt as if he hadn't seen the teacher for a long time, so he hurried to see him.

Ade was also not polite, and when he finished worshipping, he said, "Zicheng, your speed is too slow." If it goes on like this, it will definitely be delayed, and if you can't get to Harlie before the next Yuan Festival, something big will happen. ”

Chen Lu also knew that the delay was too long, and there were problems in almost every place, and said: "The teacher blames him very much, we will forcibly march for a few days to chase the time back." It's just that the future is full of uncertainties, and I'm afraid it's not something that my Zicheng can predict. ”

Ade said: "On the road, don't dwell on some small things, as long as there are still people in the mission, no matter how many people, go west." ”

Chen Lu suddenly knelt down and said, "The students have something to ask for. ”

Ade said, "Get up, and say whatever you want." ”

Chen Lu didn't have the hippie smile he used to have, and said: "Teacher, students know that their time is short, and they really want to do more for the country." It's just that along the way, the students deeply feel their own incompetence and powerlessness.

"When it comes to the critical moment, you have to wait for the soldiers, and the time is delayed on this. The student asks the teacher to find a way for the student to learn powerful kung fu. Then the thieves can't help me, and the time of the soldiers doesn't have to be wasted on me, and the speed will be much faster. ”

Ade pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, you should know some kung fu, your green dragon sword can't kill and injure those ordinary people, I'll figure it out." As for the number of years you said, you just have to do your own errands well, the way of heaven is ignorant, who can solve the will of heaven? Don't think nonsense, I'll go. "Suddenly it was gone.

Chen Lu woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and looked around, only the charcoal basin was sizzling. He shook his head and smiled wryly and collapsed on the bed.

He seemed to see the teacher walking in the rain, it was really raining, and there was chaos between the heavens and the earth, and thin strings of rain shot into the stagnant water on the ground, causing patches of blisters.

It was raining for several days, so it must have been raining for several days, so it's no wonder the teacher brought an oil umbrella.

In the moment of seeing the rain, the teacher was gone, and the weather was getting more and more gloomy, and there was nothing to see beyond five steps. Chen Lu got lost, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and saw a bright light flashing in the distance, like someone else's light.

Where the lights were on, Chen Lu saw the silk willows in the rain, plantains, and tall plane trees on both sides of a path. He felt as if he had returned to Jingshi. Oh, could it be that Jingshi also has such a plane tree?

Chen Lu walked towards the light, and he saw a figure, which seemed to be Ade's back, and walked into a small courtyard in the light. It turned out that the teacher's family lived here. He followed.

It was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, and it was foggy, so I couldn't see the things in the yard clearly, and I could only see the light through the window, so the teacher must be in the house. Thinking to himself, somehow, Chen Lu himself was already in the house.

It's a thatched cottage, and although the roof is not low, it still feels oppressive. The room was as light as a bean, and an old man sat on a stone bench weaving something. Chen Lu looked closely, it was not the teacher Ade at all, although the shape was somewhat similar.

The old man didn't raise his head, Chen Lu looked at him and seemed to be a basket for fishing fish and shrimp, which can be seen everywhere in Chen Lu's hometown, Chen Lu often saw the porter in his house He Bo making this up.

Chen Lu stepped forward and sang, this person seemed to see Chen Lu, glanced at his official uniform, and kept asking, "Why are the officials here?"

Speaking a Jiangnan official dialect, Chen Lu can't see his height, looking at his age is about seventy years old, what attracts Chen Lu the most is the old man's hair, gray and white with green light, can't see the original color, it seems to be green, Chen Lu thought, is there a person with green hair?

The old man's words stopped Chen Lu, yes, what are you doing here? He vomited for a long time, regained his composure, and said: "My old man and the teacher walked here one after another, and the teacher disappeared, and when I saw him enter the noble house, I followed him, why are you?"

The old man didn't look at him, and said coldly: "What old man, whose old man are you?" The little old man didn't see anyone walk in, you can't find the teacher, don't you suspect me of hiding him, right?"

Chen Lu is no longer the ordinary man he used to be, he has a bit of a foundation, and understands that there must be some reason for this, so he laughs and says: "My husband is joking, how can it be! Am I that kind of person? You don't know, I'm a ......."

The old man slammed the half-knitted shrimp basket on the ground and said, "That's why I killed him?"

Chen Lu was very angry, isn't this nonsense? Forget it, an old man of such an age, maybe he was confused, and he didn't care about him in general, so he turned around and walked outside.

But he couldn't take a step at all, as if someone was pulling him to death.

Chen Lu looked at the old man suspiciously, he was weaving the basket as if nothing had happened.

Chen Lu struggled hard, but there was no effect at all. He remembered the conversation with Ade, and the mist when he came to heal the sick at night, and drew his sword and stabbed it.

When the old man saw his Blue Dragon Sword, his face changed slightly.

Chen Lu saw it in his eyes, and he was proud in his heart, let you Daluo Immortal, and he was afraid of the three points of the Qinglong Sword.

However, the Blue Dragon Sword stopped in the air, and it seemed to be fixed there. When Chen Lu looked closely, there was a bamboo strip wrapped around the Qinglong sword, which was a bamboo strip for weaving shrimp baskets.

Chen Lu was shocked, everything was understood, this was the master that Ade found for himself.

Chen Lu turned around and walked towards the old man, it was really strange, he walked in this direction, but there was no resistance at all. Chen Lu knelt down and bowed respectfully four times, and said, "Disciple, meet Master." ”

The old man said, "Nonsense again, who is your master? I just said that the teacher can't be found, and I am a big worker, and I said that I am my disciple, and your master betrayed fast enough." What can I teach you? Weaving shrimp baskets?"

Chen Lu said: "My old man came to apprentice at the order of his teacher. ”

"Messy, incoherent? What are you doing at the teacher's orders?"

Chen Lu said: "My mentor Ade, let me come to apprentice. ”

The old man said expressionlessly: "I don't know any Ade Ashi, since you are here, help me do a job." ”

Chen Lu was a little puzzled, looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense, could it be that the apprentice that Ade said was not this person? ”

"You catch the worms on the ground first. ”

Chen Lu agreed, stood up and looked for insects, and the lights seemed to be much brighter. He didn't find any bugs on the ground, and was about to go back to tell the old man when he suddenly noticed a small pair of green lights shining on him.

Chen Lu looked closely, said "wow", turned around and ran. He saw one of the things he feared most in his lifeβ€”toads, toads.

Its pair of green eyes that seemed to have bulged out stared at Chen Lu without blinking, Chen Lu's soul was scattered, and he turned around and wanted to run, but just like just now, he couldn't take a step.
