Chapter 18: Apprenticeship
After Li Kunlun bid farewell to the swordsmith, he carried his sword and wine and walked towards Zhuyue Villa.
After returning to the villa, he first went back to the backyard room to put down the wine and sword, and then went to the backroom to visit the valley master.
"Little Li Gongzi, why are you here again, didn't you say that the master is in retreat and will not see guests for the time being," the disciple of the guard in front of the door said helplessly when he saw Li Kunlun.
"Qiu Gu Lord, the younger generation has snake venom in his body, and now it has been more than a month, before the valley master said that if I solve the case, I will be grateful to the valley master for treating the younger generation" Li Kunlun ignored the disciple and shouted to the house.
"Xiao Li Gongzi, I said that if the master doesn't see a guest, don't embarrass me," the disciple said.
"Lord Qiugu, if I die of poison, you will be considered to have broken your promise" Li Kunlun did not give up.
"Let him in," a voice came from inside the room.
Li Kunlun: "Thank you Valley Master"
After saying that, he pushed the door and entered the house.
I saw the valley lord sitting on the collapse, his face haggard, and the bamboo heart sword that had been broken in two was placed on the table.
"Sit down," the valley lord pointed to the opposite position.
"Valley master, mourning" Li Kunlun sat down.
The Lord of the Valley: "Reach Out"
Li Kunlun lifted the sleeve of his right arm and put his hand on the table.
The valley lord closed his eyes and began to check the pulse.
"It's strange, your pulse is stable and there is no sign of poisoning, but when you enter the valley, it is clear that you have been poisoned, strange" After a while, the valley lord suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"How could it be...... Could it be that Li Kunlun suddenly remembered the pill that Lehua stuffed into his mouth when he held him hostage.
"How is this possible" Li Kunlun was puzzled.
"Whatever the reason, the snake venom on your body has been cured, and the old man said that he would thank you again, and he will not break his promise," said the valley lord, turning and walking towards the cabinet by the wall.
I saw that he twisted the vase lightly with his right hand, and a dark grid was flipped out.
"This is a medical book that I wrote with half a lifetime of painstaking efforts: "The Book of Ten Thousand Herbs", the old man doesn't know martial arts, only this can be regarded as a heavy gift," the lord of Qiu Gu took the things in the secret grid to Li Kunlun.
"Senior, this is absolutely unacceptable," Li Kunlun said with his hands in motion, and at the same time quickly glanced at the medical technique.
"Needless to say, the old man never owes favors"
"Wu'er has traveled all year round and has no intention of studying medicine, and Tai'er and other disciples have mediocre qualifications, and now that Hua'er is dead, if you don't pass on your old husband's medical skills, I'm afraid it will be lost," said the valley lord helplessly.
"Seniors, rest assured, juniors will study hard and pass on your medical skills" Li Kunlun took the medical book and bowed deeply.
The lord of the valley: "Let's go back if there's nothing to do, the old man is tired"
"Seniors have a good rest, juniors retire" Li Kunlun bowed again and walked backwards out of the room.
"Great, when I learn the medical skills of the medicine king, I won't have to worry about eating and drinking all over the world in the future" As soon as he left the back hall, Li Kunlun couldn't wait to look through the medical books.
I saw that in addition to the previous part, there were all the names of drugs in the book that I had never heard of at all, and some of them were even incomprehensible.
"Hey~ It seems that it is not so easy to eat all over the world" Li Kunlun's newly ignited excitement was half extinguished, and he returned to the room with the medical book.
Looking at the sword and medical book in his hand, Li Kunlun couldn't help laughing, since Taoxi Village was flooded, he has been fluent all day long, and now with this sword and medical book, he will definitely be able to have his own place in this troubled world in time.
"No, it's the same" Li Kunlun suddenly stopped smiling.
After half a salary, Li Kunlun carried the pot of wine and came to the door of Weijian's guest room, and after standing in front of the door for half a stick of incense, he finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door and enter.
"Little ghost, you're back, those two boys have sent them away," the swordsman said to him when he saw Li Kunlun coming in.
Li Kunlun: "Brother Chu has already left the valley, Brother Xiao was still sitting in front of Miss Xue's grave when I came back, and I should have left now."
Wei Swordsman: "Creation makes people...... Where did you get the wine, boy, bring it to me to taste."
"Senior...... The junior has a reluctant invitation," Li Kunlun handed over the wine and said in a tangled manner.
"Talking, talking, you don't look like this on weekdays"
"Why, I don't like which girl in the valley I want, and I want the old man to be a matchmaker for you," Wei Swordsman took the wine jar and joked to Li Kunlun.
"I want to worship my predecessors as teachers and learn swordsmanship," Li Kunlun no longer hesitated and said firmly.
Swordsman: "Oh, why do you want to learn swords?"
Li Kunlun: "I want to become stronger, to become a strong person like my predecessors, and I will not be pinched and trampled to death at will"
Swordsman: "That's all?"
Li Kunlun "I still want to protect important people, I don't want them to be hurt, I can only watch from the sidelines and be powerless, and ask my seniors to take me as an apprentice"
Wei Swordsman "is full of small egos, and there is no consciousness of chivalry at all, then I ......"
Hearing the swordsman say this, Li Kunlun's heart was half cold.
"Forget it, with the Ten Thousand Herbs Sutra, it is enough to gain a foothold in this world" Li Kunlun comforted himself in his heart.
“...... Then I'll have to have more followers in the future, it's really troublesome," Wei Swordsman changed his words and pretended to be disgusted.
"Thank you, master, please accept the apprentice's worship" Li Kunlun's heart churned, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately bowed down in surprise and bowed.
"Hahahaha, little ghost, after the rivers and lakes are sinister, our master and apprentice will depend on each other and go to the rivers and lakes together...... In the future, you will have to give me a pension and send me to the end of my life," Wei Swordsman was in a good mood.
"That's nature, master, wait a minute" Li Kunlun poured a bowl of wine, knelt down and served it to the swordsman, and then bowed three times.
"Get up, the little ghost has such a mind at a young age, and he is barely qualified to be my apprentice"
"Anyway, where did you get this wine?" asked the swordsman.
"By the way, this wine was entrusted to me by the white shopkeeper to bring it to the master, I thought that I would take it out when the master was better, and I could only use it first if I wanted to apprentice" Li Kunlun scratched his head and smiled.
Wei Swordsman: "The little ghost has also learned to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, so he will be less clever in the future"
"Yes, master," Li Kunlun replied seriously.
Wei Swordsman: "I only have 30% of my strength left, it seems that we will have to stay in this valley for a little longer"
"But it's okay, just take this time to teach you swordsmanship"
Li Kunlun: "I have thanked the master, and when I am successful in swordsmanship, I will take you to drink all the fine wine in the world"
"Hahahaha, the little ghost understands me"
Originally, after ups and downs along the way, Wei Swordsman had a good impression of Li Kunlun, and the relationship between the two went further after becoming master and apprentice. The swordsman looked at this apprentice and felt more and more pleasing to the eye.
