Chapter 34: Rushing to Apprenticeship
Under Liao Shui's urging, Chai Shien walked with trembling legs and approached the gate of Zichen Hall step by step. What made him feel incredible was that unlike when he saw that Xiliqi was full of flowers and plants, and the crane and golden turtle were leisurely, there was a sense of slaughter in the Zichen Palace, and that kind of deliberate simplicity made Chai Shien feel uncomfortable all over his body.
There are no flowers or plants, no running water, and it can even be said that there is not even a single living thing except for the "cheap master". Seeing the boss in his eyes, there were obviously a lot of question marks, Liao Shui explained very understandingly, "Master Xijing, when we come to Zichen Hall on weekdays, we try not to send out business, so as not to disturb his old man's cultivation!"
Chai Shien listened carefully, but did not pay attention to his feet. Before Liao Shui's words fell, he accidentally guessed the heel of his right foot with the tip of his left foot, and then screamed and the whole person fell forward, and the huge sound almost made Zichen Hall shake three times!
"Senior Brother Chai, are you okay?" Liao Shui hurriedly went to help him, and when he bent over, he glanced at the gate of Zichen Hall worriedly.
"Since you're here, come in!"
There was a bell-like sound in the Zichen Palace, and the first time Chai Shien heard this sound, he had just half got up from the ground, and he was immediately shaken and fell down. Liao Shui couldn't help but snicker, pulled him up and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Master, his old man's thousand-mile transmission is becoming more and more perfect, and you will get used to it in the future, it will be fine!"
"Liao Shui girl, I am talking bad about Master and me behind my back again!" The door of Zichen Hall suddenly opened automatically, and a heavy medicinal fragrance came out from inside, Chai Shien said suspiciously, "Master is sick?" Liao Shui said, "Master is refining the antidote to snake venom for you, you don't know, the snake that bit you is not a mortal thing, it is very powerful!"
As the two spoke, they had already walked to the door of the Zichen Palace. Chai Shien hurriedly lowered his head, after all, it was the first time they met, how could they leave a good impression on the other party, didn't they?
"Well, it looks like you're more energetic, and your body is okay?"
Chai Shien only saw the corners of the other party's silver-white clothes, and stammered and replied, "Okay, it's much better, thank you for your trouble." Liao Shui poked him with his elbow next to him, Chai Shien tilted his head to look at her, and saw that Liao Shui was squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, very naughty.
"You don't have to be restrained with me, sit down. Liao Shui, you are now a senior sister, don't worry about eating snacks by yourself, and give some to Shien. The amiable voice made Chai Shien suddenly let down his guard and nervousness. Liao Shui put a plate of lotus-shaped dim sum in front of him, and he picked up a piece and ate it in small bites.
"Presumably Liao Shui has briefly told you, what kind of place is this, and what are you going to do next. For this "hard-won" disciple, Yi Wuya had an instinctive fondness, and he said to Chai Shien, "From now on, you will live in the Fog Xuan Palace." ”
"Yes, Master!" Chai Shien was extremely obedient, and his mouthful of the master was extremely affectionate, "Thank you Master for taking me in, it's just that the disciple is stupid, and you have to worry too much, Master!"
Yi Wuya was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect this new disciple to be even sweeter than Liao Shuilai. He couldn't help but smile a little more on his lips, "Why bother to be presumptuous, since I brought you back to the Fog Xuan Palace, it proves that you are extremely talented and can be made." It's just that things are in a hurry, and the apprenticeship ceremony is going to be simplified, I don't know ...... you."
Yi Wuya's original meaning was to gather the whole Wuxuan Palace tomorrow to hold a simple apprenticeship ceremony. Unexpectedly, Chai Shien misunderstood, he knelt down in front of Yi Wuya, and knocked his head three times with a "knock knock", and said loudly, "Master is above, please accept the disciple Chai Shien three times!"
"Senior Brother Chai, ...... you" Liao Shui was also taken aback by his actions, and after understanding, he actually bent over with a smile, "Senior brother, you're too anxious, aren't you?" Master means that tomorrow will hold another apprenticeship ceremony, you, you don't have to be so anxious, right?"
At this time, Chai Shien realized that when he first met his master, he made a big fool. He was annoyed for a while, and secretly scolded himself for being too anxious, but he didn't want to admit it, and his eyes rolled and he immediately thought of an idea. He straightened up and said with a righteous face, "Senior sister, you are wrong. I wasn't in a hurry, but I was thinking, Master and his old man didn't dislike me, and he brought me back to the Wuxuan Palace, I was grateful, and I didn't know how to repay Master's kindness. So, Master, I beg you not to stir up the teacher and move the crowd, but to accept me, an unworthy disciple, today!"
Chai Shien's face was sincere, and he almost burst into tears at the end. Liao Shui felt ashamed when she heard this, she said to Chai Shien embarrassedly, "Senior Brother Chai, Senior Sister misunderstood you, don't take it to heart!"
"Senior sister, look at what you said, I know, senior sister is all for my good!" As he spoke, Chai Shien winked at Liao Shui. Yi Wuya was even more relieved to see their sister and brother's friendship, "I didn't expect that you still have such filial piety, and that being a teacher will fulfill you." It's okay, I also hope that you don't be proud, start from the lowest disciple step by step, and rely on your own strength to come to the teacher. Liao Shui, have you arranged Shien's residence?"
Hearing Master ask about this, Liao Shui hurriedly said, "Master, Chai Shien has just arrived, and he is not familiar with everywhere. My joy at first sight is still empty, so it is better to let him live in the side hall for the time being. Wait a few days before arranging a new accommodation. ”
Yi Wuya thought for a while, "It's okay, you have to take good care of Gu Shien, he is of great significance to him as a teacher and to the Fog Xuan Palace!" Liao Shui nodded and said, "Yes, Master, please rest assured!"
Coming out of the Zichen Palace, and returning to the joy of seeing it again, Chai Shien already felt that it was not so terrifying. He said, "Senior sister, Master seems to be quite kind, but why do I think that you seem to be very afraid of him?"
Liao Shui said to him while holding the sword, "I'm not afraid, but awe." In my mind and that of many senior brothers and sisters, Master is a god-like existence, and after a long time, you will know. However, starting tomorrow, you will start practicing. This time will be harder, but you must not be lazy, if I find out, senior sister, I will definitely punish you severely!"
Chai Shien thought to himself, "Hmph, I haven't done any work in Xiao'anzhuang, can you little girl make it difficult for me?" But when the sun rose the next day and Chai Shien was sent to start the path of cultivation with other disciples, he found that things were not as simple as he thought!
