Volume 2 The Heart of Bewitchment Chapter 39 Apprenticeship 2

The sudden goodness of the old man of the mushroom made him unacceptable, and even made him think about it for a while, and he suspected several times that this was the comfort of the old man before he was about to expel him from the church. He sighed, and no matter what, he made a note of the favor in his heart.

Wang Dashi held the medicine bottle in his hand, raised his steps, and walked from the back door to the main hall of the local sect.

The old man was sitting at the desk in the middle of the hall. Wang Dashi never forgot the matter of drinking chicken soup and burning his mouth, and always felt embarrassed, so he blushed at the moment and returned the medicine bottle to the old man. Leng Mushroom took the bottle, asked Wang Dashi to sit down, and told him to look around the hall.

The layout of the main hall is retro, the table and the chair are all made of dark brown sandalwood, exuding a strong fragrance; the beams and pillars are carved with the shape of the dragon swinging its head and subduing the beast, the dragon opens its teeth and dances its claws, the expression is mighty, the giant beast has a green face and fangs, and the fierce face is exposed. The local school is not Buddhism or Taoism, it is self-contained and has a unique style. Wang Dashi looked at it, and suddenly remembered the strange statue enshrined in the Qingfeng Mountain Temple, and he had doubts in his heart: "This giant beast looks like the strange statue in the temple, and is worshiped by incense, how can it be suppressed by the divine dragon on the beams and pillars in the main hall?" Wang Dashi didn't know what it meant.

The sandalwood screens and walls are meticulously crafted, and the carved window railings are more artistic. In the middle of the wall of the main hall hangs a horizontal plaque with handwriting. Wang Dashi is not very literate, but he knows the meaning, which roughly means that the pursuit of perfection and perfection, only the good is followed, and the evil does not prevail over the good. Since then, Wang Dashi seems to understand the meaning of the dragon giant beast carved by the beams, that the giant beast represents evil, and the divine dragon represents justice.

After reading it, Wang Dashi looked around the hall again, and finally, his eyes returned to the mushroom, and when he saw the vicious face of the mushroom, he lowered his head.

Leng Mushroom finally spoke: "Wang Dashi, do you know what I built this Purple Mansion Hall for?"

Wang Dashi shook his head: "Master, master, oh no, I can't call you master." Old man, I, I don't know!"

Leng Mushroom coughed, "I will be treated in this hall, if I am not there one day, can you learn from me to be virtuous and do good here?"

Wang Dashi didn't know what Leng Mushroom meant when he said this, he paused for a moment, knocked his fist and said: "Hey, report to the old man of Leng Mushroom, I, I have no martial arts and no skills, where do I dare to treat people, even if I have the idea of doing good deeds in my heart, I can't help!"

Leng Mushroom sighed and said: "Yesterday, I had a dream, from the dream calculation, my life limit is not far away, the local sect of the Purple Mansion Hall has just been established, can there be no successor! Hey, since it is the will of heaven, then it should also be heaven!"

Wang Dashi was stunned on the ground, silent, and didn't know what to say to the old man, and he didn't know what to do.

Leng Mushroom looked at Wang Dashi deeply, and said: "The local school is a major school of the people, pinching mantras, martial arts, skills, runes and demon slaying tricks, and even including the grass head home remedies in the street lang, which can be said to involve the length of a hundred schools!" Speaking of this, his tone was much more solemn, "Wang Dashi, are you willing to learn these skills?"

Wang Dashi's heart throbbed, this was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, at this time he was no longer silent, knocked his fist and said: "The old man of Leng Mushroom has learned the classics of the world, and he has many skills, I, of course I am willing to learn!"

"Let you kneel down now and worship me as a teacher, are you willing!" Leng Mushroom looked at Wang Dashi.

Wang Dashi lowered his head, he couldn't believe it, he glanced at Leng Mushroom, and then lowered his head: "What you said is! Oh, yes, are you saying to me?" His tone was small and full of shame.

"Looks like you're not willing?" said Lengmushroom.

"I ...... I, I do. Wang Dashi still lowered his head and said in a snort.

Leng Mushroom slowed down and said angrily: "Why do you always keep your head down!" Wang Dashi, I want to tell you, to be a man who stands up to the sky, the first step is to raise your head!"

Wang Dashi wrote down this sentence. He lifted his head, and suddenly he felt that his front was much wider and brighter, and that he was much more open-minded, and that those who had been wiser and richer than himself were no more than that.

"Since you are willing, then I will teach you the first skill today, you remember my words, the more you are afraid, the more you are afraid, the more you have to face it, do you hear it!"

"Listen, I hear!"

"Hehe, since you heard it, then tell me, at this moment, what are you most afraid of?"

"I, I...... I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid...... I, I don't know!"

"I can't master the first skill I taught you, you should fight!" Leng Mushroom said, picking up his cane and sending it to Wang Dashi's ass.

Wang Dashi only felt a burst of swelling pain, held his face, and said nothing.

"Honestly, what are you most afraid of right now?" said Lengmushroom, still fiercely.

Wang Dashi didn't expect that this was also a skill, if he said that he was afraid of something now, it was nothing more than the eyes of the mushroom, but he was very scared, very scruples, he didn't know what to do!

"Wang Dashi, the first skill I taught you is useless, is it, if you can't face yourself and your fears, then, hum, you really can't stay in the local school, proving that you are really not the material for learning martial arts and skills! Heaven and earth create people, and they are fair and just, there is no distinction between smart and clumsy, and the real pedantic is the one who thinks he is smart or thinks he is clumsy!"

After Leng Mushroom said this, he picked up his cane again, and this time hit it in place again, adding a blood stain to Wang Dashi's buttocks.

Wang Dashi understood when he heard it, he raised his head and looked at Leng Mushroom: "At this moment, I, I'm most afraid of seeing you, I'm most afraid of seeing your eyes!"

After speaking, Wang Dashi lowered his head.

"Look up, look at me, look at me proudly, look at me proudly, look at me with confidence, look at me with anger!"

How dare Wang Dashi's cowardly temperament look up at her, but Leng Mushroom's words were like an order, so he had to look at her.

The four pairs of eyes were facing each other, and Leng Mushroom smiled and said to Wang Dashi: "Tell you, the more afraid you are, the more you are afraid, the more you have to face it! Where does self-confidence come from, self-confidence is tempered from the experience of cringe! If you improve your faith, you should face it, despise it, and look down on it!"

As soon as these words came out, they were like thunder, and they were enlightened! Wang Dashi nodded and replied, "I wrote it down!" Looking at the eyes of the mushroom, he immediately knelt down and knocked his head three times in a row.

Leng Mushroom let Wang Dashi get up and said: "Wang Dashi, you are the first apprentice I accepted, you have to shoulder the purpose of my teaching, save the dead and help the wounded, punish the evil and promote the good, you can't ruin the Leng Mushroom Master's decades of hard workβ€”β€” and besides, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone!"

Wang Dashi knelt on the ground again: "Yes, respect the master's order!"

After standing up, Wang Dashi wrote down the first skill that Leng Mushroom taught, and then raised his head.

After a while, Leng Mushroom calmed down a lot and said, "It takes a hard time to learn the arts, but I will remind you!"

Wang Dashi nodded and wrote it down.

After making some more explanations, Leng Mushroom let Wang Dashi go back.

Wang Dashi raised his steps and walked, and when he just went out, he only heard a "bang", his head was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. After a pause, Wang Dashi realized that he had hit the door, he had always lowered his head before, and he couldn't feel the low height of the door, and when he looked up, he seemed to feel that he had grown taller, and he actually found that he could look down on the door.

Leng Mushroom stopped Wang Dashi and admonished: "Raise your head, you can find that you are not short!"

Wang Dashi nodded, he knew that this was not a simple sentence, he wrote down this sentence again, and told himself to always remember it. After that, he turned around, lifted his feet, and walked out of the main hall.

Walking out of the main hall, Wang Dashi straightened his clothes and raised his head at all times.

At this time, Wang Dashi suddenly remembered that when he first joined the sect, Master Lengmushroom would choose the first disciple, could it be himself? Thinking of this, he was very happy. Before, he thought that it would be good not to be expelled from the sect by Master Lengmushroom, but what he didn't expect was that he was selected as the first disciple, so that he could learn the skills, and he could get the true transmission and the mastery. However, he questioned again, since this is the case, then, why did Master Lengmushroom treat himself so cruelly before?

Wang Dashi thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything to do, and even felt that Master Lengmushroom would not treat him well.
