Volume 1 The East Facing the People's School Chapter 24 Apprenticeship
Li Xiao supported Dugu Ni, looked at his eyes, and had a lot of love for this child in his heart, so he said: "Child, the master is only a life-controlling realm cultivator now, and he is not a great power, but the master also wants to protect you! Since you have told me all the secrets, I can't know in vain, are you willing to be my personal disciple?"
Dugu Ni was stunned for a moment and replied, "I am willing!"
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction, let go of Dugu Ni, sat back in the chair, and said, "Then you can kowtow to the teacher three more times!"
After Dugu Ni kowtowed three times seriously, he looked up at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao said: "You can call Master!"
Dugu Ni knelt down, bowed down and shouted, "Master!"
Originally, there were still a lot of rules for apprenticeship, but Li Xiao also avoided a lot of red tape, which can be regarded as accepting an apprentice!
Li Xiao smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Get up!"
Dugu Ni stood up, Li Xiao motioned for him to sit down, and began to say again: "What the teacher can do for you is to help you set up a seal, as long as you are not a life cultivator who knows the Heavenly Mandate Realm and the Heavenly Mandate Realm, from now on, calculating your life number will feel bland, and it will avoid the backlash they will suffer when they calculate, and they will not have further interest in you." ”
When Dugu Ni heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master, oh, no, thank you, Master!"
"Stick out your index finger!"
Dugu Ni stretched out his finger in front of Li Xiao, Li Xiao waved it lightly, and the blood on Dugu Nie's finger came out again, this scene was so similar to when he saw Lin Lao.
I saw that a drop of blood also came out of Li Xiao's own fingertips. The two drops of blood seemed to be chasing under Li Xiao's control, and then fused together and converged on the tip of Li Xiao's index finger. Li Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand, but saw a burst of red light. Dugu Ni closed his eyes, and Li Xiao's index finger pointed at Dugu Nir's forehead, and the blood disappeared suddenly. Dugu Ni only felt a coolness on his forehead, and then he didn't feel anything special.
"That's it!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Xiao nodded, and then asked, "Do you remember the five points that Master just explained to you?" ”
Dugu Ni thought about it for a moment and said, "First, you can't let the life cultivators calculate me again. Second, I can't let people know that I'm self-cultivating, especially a life cultivator. Third, you can't mention the matter of Fuying Town anymore, and you can't go back casually. Fourth, improve your strength and protect yourself and others. Fifth, fifth...... "Dugu Nirvana scratched his head: "Oh! After the seal is broken, you can't reveal the secret of heaven." ”
"Okay, your qualifications are far from enough for life cultivation, and Master can't let you protect yourself through life cultivation. If you want to be able to leak out the Heavenly Secret in the future and not be counterattacked, it is only possible to reach the Heavenly Mandate of the Cultivation Realm. But the way of cultivating life is too difficult, and it is impossible for you to take care of it, just like being a teacher, martial arts are also commonplace, and you can only rely on some blood skills to protect yourself. Therefore, I will not teach you as a teacher. ”
"Everything is up to Master. Dugu Ni said obediently.
"But I will go and find a set of martial arts that are very suitable for you for you, as long as you comprehend and practice diligently, it is enough to protect yourself in the future. However, in the future, this set of martial arts can only be taught by your own disciples, and must not be passed on to others, and if you accept a personal disciple, then you will be responsible for all his actions in the rivers and lakes! Do you understand?"
Only then did Dugu Ni understand that the Master wanted to accept himself as a disciple of his own lineage, and he was responsible for his own actions! Doesn't this mean that if he gets into trouble in the future, he will have to implicate the Master?
Dugu Ni knelt down again and said, "Understood, Master!"
Li Xiao said again: "Get up, you come with me now and go to the chief master!"
"Yes!"
The two walked for half a cup of tea, and Li Xiao was also explaining what Dugu Nirvana was doing from time to time on the way, and when they came to the residence of the chief master, Li Xiao knocked on the door and said, "Master Li!
After a while, the door opened, Li Dongxing looked at the two of them, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "This is Dugu Nirvana, this hour, you don't let him go home, what are you doing here with me?" With that, he walked to the hall, Dugu Nirvana saluted, and said, "Hello Master!" and followed Li Xiao into the door.
Li Dongxing's house is quite gorgeously decorated, sitting in the north and facing south, with the front hall and the back room. There are a lot of vases of different sizes in the hall, which is very beautiful. There is a wall between the hall and the inner room, on which is hung a landscape painting. There was a coffee table below, and two chairs on the left and right, and Li Dongxing sat on one of them, holding a cup of tea in his hand. There are many chairs and coffee tables on the east and west sides of the hall. Li Xiao sat on the first chair in the west, and Dugu Nirvana stood behind Li Xiao.
"Look at the tea!" Li Dongxing ordered a maid, then looked at Li Xiao and said, "Say it!"
Li Xiao said straight to the point: "I want to ask you for this Heavenly Martial Technique!"
"What?" Li Dongxing said in shock, "Nonsense! What do you want Heavenly Martial Technique to do? You want to cultivate Martial Dao?"
Seeing that Li Xiao's face did not change, but just looked at himself, Li Dongxing's face also became solemn, and asked, "It has something to do with Dugu Nirvana?"
Li Xiao nodded and said, "He is already my personal disciple!"
Li Dongxing smiled and said, "You guy, why did you start accepting disciples." Are you going to teach him fortune telling?"
Li Xiao replied: "Little Nirvana has a pure heart and a tough temperament, and I like it a lot. And when I was cultivating, I took some luck from him, which helped me a lot. So I took him in as a closed disciple. ”
Li Dongxing's face was suspicious, and he listened to Li Xiao continue to speak: "You also know, my martial arts cultivation is more ordinary, this kid has less luck, I am afraid that he will have to suffer a lot in the future, I also want to find a set of excellent martial arts for him, so that he can protect himself, I will not learn, I want to find a place to retreat, and I don't know when I will be able to get out, so if he has any problems with Tianwu Jue, I hope you will give me some advice!"
Li Dong was surprised, what kind of saying is this? Just as he was about to ask, he saw Li Xiao take out three books from his arms, stack them together, Dugu Nirvana glanced at them, and the first book had a few big characters written on it: The Book of Destiny, the sixth chapter of knowing the Mandate of Heaven.
"I want to pass on the little Nirvana Heavenly Martial Arts, if someone really asks me in the future, I learned it from you, I have been in the Minxue Academy for so many years, plus the three Natal Sutras, it doesn't count, right? These three Natal Sutras are the sixth chapter of the Knowing Heavenly Mandate, the seventh chapter of the Controlling Human Life and the second chapter of knowing the human life, I believe that the value is only higher than that of the Heavenly Martial Arts, right?"
Li Dongxing walked over, got the three books, looked at the cover for a long time, and asked, "Do you want to dedicate these three life scriptures to the Wanjuan Mansion?"
Li Xiao replied lightly: "It's you, you can dedicate it to Wanjuan Mansion." ”
Li Dongxing was stunned for a moment, and said: "Okay! You have also made a bloody investment, I can naturally trust you as a person, and Xiao Ni is a good student of our school, so I don't seem to have any reason not to agree." With your contribution to the Donglin Minxue Academy for so many years, I believe that the imperial court has no reason to blame me for passing on your Tianwu Technique, as for Dugu Nirvana, ......"
Li Dongxing raised his head slightly and glanced at Dugu Nie, and said: "I only hope that you will not live up to your master's good intentions, if you take the wrong path in the future, your master can't control it, I can also be regarded as a master, and I must clean up the portal!"
Dugu Ni didn't know how to answer, Li Xiao smiled and said: "You are embarrassed to call yourself a master, and you also know that I am looking for you just for Xiao Ni's kung fu to understand clearly." If you want to be a teacher, then you need more guidance!"
Li Dongxing laughed and said, "Yes, you feel sorry for your precious apprentice! Then I am not a master." I don't have as much spare time as you, and the more than 200 students in the academy are enough for me to worry about. Since you can trust him and suppress your reputation, I should be relieved. In the future, he will cause trouble and let others find you! The Heavenly Martial Technique will be counted as a reward for you to enter the Natal Sutra, and I will report it to the imperial court!"
"One more point. Li Xiao said, "If Xiao Ni has any plans in the future, as long as it does not violate morality and law, I don't want the court to interfere with his choice." ”
Li Dongxing smiled: "You are also more cautious, there are many good seedlings, and I am too lazy to beat him." ”
Li Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and said, "In that case, Master Chief, I have to ask you to resign!
Li Dongxing was stunned for a moment, and said with some regret: "I don't know what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd, no matter what, I have worked hard for you all these years." ”
"Thanks, Lao Li. Li Xiao said sincerely, "You will pass on the Heavenly Martial Technique to Xiao Nirvana first!"
"Look at you in such a hurry, yes, I will save trouble, Xiao Nirvana, come with me!"
In this way, Dugu Ni spent half an hour, under Li Dongxing's interpretation, to memorize all the content of the first layer of the Heavenly Martial Technique. Li Dongxing confessed to Dugu Nirvana, tried to practice after going back, deepened his memory, and asked himself the next day if he didn't understand. After that, for three consecutive days, I had to come over every day to recite a layer, and then ask questions in time if I had any questions. emphasized again, if someone asks, it must not be said that it is the Tianwu Technique taught to him by Li Dongxing, it can only be said that it was taught by Li Xiao!
Li Dongxing took out a short stick again, the short stick was black, with gray stripes on it, slightly thicker than the copper coin, about two feet long, for Dugu Nirvana's less than five feet tall, this length was slightly longer for the time being, but it also had little effect.
Li Dongxing said that this short stick, called the black python pattern wooden stick, is made of the heartwood of the 10,000-year-old black manggrain wood, and the rigidity and toughness are much stronger than ordinary swords.
Li Xiao was very grateful when he saw that Li Dongxing was so generous, and thanked Li Dongxing with Dugu Nie, and then took Dugu Nie all the way back to Donghua Street. On the way, Dugu Ni also felt the power of this set of light exercises from Li Xiao's Yue Wu steps to the back, and studied silently.
Seeing Bai Ming, who was already waiting, Li Xiao explained the situation. When Dugu Nie was eating, I don't know what Li Xiao and Bai Ming talked about, but in the end, when Li Xiao left, Bai Ming made Dugu Nie kowtow three more times.
Dugu Ni also asked Li Xiao where he was going and when he would come back. Li Xiao only said that he wanted to go to retreat, and told Dugu Nie to keep his mouth shut about those secrets, and if he didn't know how to refuse, he directly said that Master let him swear that he would never answer.
Although it has only been a day since he apprenticed, Dugu Ni found a feeling in Li Xiao that he had left to himself, but he didn't know why Li Xiao wanted to leave him like his ninth uncle.
