Chapter 3: Apprenticeship: The Past
After leaving Wuyi Mountain, Ye Shiyu and the three of them rode a donkey for more than ten days and headed north. Along the way, Ye Changkong was constantly suppressing the explosion of Taiyin Qi in Ye Shiyu's body with the Sun True Yuan in his body.
"Master, do these meridian acupoints you mentioned really exist in the human body?" Ye Shiyu asked as he looked at the "Human Body Meridian Diagram" that Ye Changkong gave him a few days ago.
Ye Changkong drank wine while sitting on a donkey and said, "Of course, these meridian acupoints are located in all parts of the human body, just like this. ”
Ye Changkong raised his hand and flicked it, and a burst of energy shot towards Meng Fanyu.
Meng Fanyu grabbed his hand, held the qi in his hand, and directly pinched it.
"Look at your Master Meng, you don't understand the style at all. ”
"Lao Ye, you're enough, how many times have you shot at me along the way!"
The more Meng Fanyu talked, the more angry he became, along the way, Ye Changkong often teased Meng Fanyu with the slogan of letting Ye Shiyu learn. Meng Fanyu couldn't help but be angry, but when he saw Ye Shiyu's inquiring eyes, he suppressed his anger.
Ye Changkong waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's all for the sake of the child, Lao Meng, you will suffer a little loss." ”
Meng Fanyu turned his head, didn't say anything, and looked at the scenery beside him.
Seeing this, Ye Changkong smiled indifferently and continued to drink the wine in the gourd.
When Ye Shiyu saw it, he said, "Master, aren't you Taoist priests supposed to drink tea?"
Ye Changkong took another sip and said: "Being a teacher pays attention to doing what you want, not being bound by the world's customs and etiquette, do you know that being a teacher wants to be the third in martial arts and the second in poetry and painting." ”
"What about the first?" Ye Shiyu scratched his head and asked.
"Naturally, it's the first to drink! Ye Changkong threw the wine gourd at Meng Fanyu.
Meng Fanyu took it with one hand, raised his head and opened his mouth, and let the liquor flow from the wine gourd into his mouth.
Ye Changkong shouted in pain: "Hey, hey, you leave me some! There is no village in front of here, and there is no store in the back, where will I go to drink after you finish drinking!"
Meng Fanyu didn't care about it, and after a while, Meng Fanyu wiped the corners of his mouth, threw the wine gourd to Ye Changkong, and said, "I haven't drunk any elixir and jade liquid!
Ye Changkong received the wine gourd, shook it, and after turning the wine gourd over, only dripping crystals flowed out. Ye Changkong said with a sad face: "You are too ruthless Lao Meng, I have only damaged you a few words in the past few days, and you have drunk all my wine with half a gourd!"
Meng Fanyu snorted and stopped talking.
When Ye Shiyu saw it, he couldn't help laughing. Compared with Ye Changkong's Dao Bone Immortal Wind ten days ago and Meng Fanyu's domineering, Ye Shiyu felt that such two people seemed more approachable and real. In the past ten days, watching the fun of the two bickering has reduced the pain in Ye Shiyu's heart a lot.
Half a day later, the three of them came to an unnamed mountain, Ye Changkong jumped off the back of the donkey, touched Ye Shiyu's head and said with emotion: "I arrived, I haven't been back for more than ten years, do you think it's Lao Meng?"
“...... Things are not people, let's go. Meng Fanyu didn't seem to want to think about it, and after saying a few words lightly, he walked straight to the mountain.
Ye Changkong shook his head and walked towards the mountain with Ye Shiyu in his arms.
Coming to the top of the mountain, Ye Shiyu first saw a wide platform, and then a Taoist temple came into view.
The surroundings of the Taoist temple were overgrown with weeds, and Meng Fanyu came to the surroundings of the Taoist temple, and when Zhen Yuan mentioned it, a terrifying aura erupted on his own. The moment the energy exploded, the surrounding weeds were flattened, and then uprooted.
When Meng Fanyu's strength exploded, Ye Shiyu only felt a tightness in his chest, and then Ye Changkong stroked his back with one hand. Ye Shiyu felt bursts of warm current flowing in his chest, and then the stuffiness in his chest disappeared.
After cleaning up the surrounding weeds, Meng Fanyu pushed open the dusty door of the Taoist temple.
By the time Ye Shiyu and Ye Changkong entered, the Taoist temple was already spotless inside and out.
"Not bad, it seems that Lao Meng, your Netherworld Thirteen-style Netherworld Ghost Wind is very suitable for cleanup, not bad. After Ye Changkong came in, he looked up and down, and his mouth was stained.
Meng Fanyu glanced at him and ignored it, but pushed open the door of the main hall.
And when Meng Fanyu pushed open the door, Ye Changkong put away the playfulness on his face, and walked into the main hall with a straight face, Ye Shiyu followed closely behind Ye Changkong.
Ye Shiyu walked into the main hall and found that the lights inside it were bright, the incense mist was shrouded, and Ye Changkong and Meng Fanyu were standing in front.
While Ye Shiyu was looking around, Ye Changkong said, "Shiyu, come forward." ”
Ye Shiyu stepped forward and found that there were pieces of spiritual positions in front of the two of them, and at this time, Ye Changkong handed him three sticks of incense and said, "Go and incense your ancestors." ”
Ye Shiyu walked past the two of them with incense, came to the spiritual seat, respectfully bowed to the spiritual seat three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After Ye Shiyu finished doing it, he took a few steps back, and Ye Changkong said, "Kneel." ”
After Ye Shiyu heard this, he fell to the ground on his knees, only to see Ye Changkong walking in front of Ye Shiyu, and said with a straight face: "Ye Changkong, the fifty-second generation head of the Heaven and Earth Palace, today in front of all the ancestors, accepted Ye Shiyu as the fifty-third generation disciple, inheriting the martial arts of the Heaven and Earth Palace, Ye Shiyu." ”
"The disciple is here!"
"In the future, you will be the fifty-third generation disciple of my Heaven and Earth Palace, and you must keep in mind the six rules of our faction: 1. Do not harm the loyal and righteous people!, 2. Do not bully the weak with martial arts!, 3. Do not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and have the grace of the teacher!, 4. Do not commit adultery and plunder!, 5. Do not fornicate with foreign countries and harm my Han family! 6. Do not leak the martial arts of your sect to outsiders without permission! Have you ever heard of it?"
"The disciple understands! The disciple will keep these six rules in mind, and he will not do anything that will disgrace the master!" After finishing speaking, Ye Shiyu knocked his head on the green brick three times.
Ye Changkong picked up Ye Shiyu and said: "Although this sect pays attention to doing what you want and acting recklessly, but there are some bottom lines that you must accept, if you violate these six rules, you will abolish your martial arts at the least, and you will be executed by Ling Chi! ”
"Disciple should remember it in his heart! never forget!" Ye Shiyu said solemnly.
Ye Changkong patted Ye Shiyu's shoulder, looked at Meng Fanyu on the side, and saw Meng Fanyu looking at one of the spiritual positions on the spiritual platform, Ye Changkong sighed faintly, and walked out of the main hall with Ye Shiyu.
Ye Changkong placed Ye Shiyu in the room northeast of the main hall. After Ye Shiyu cleaned up the dust in the room, after washing and drying the quilt, he lay on the bed, and slept on the grass for several days, and now he was lying on the bed and let him sleep deeply.
..................
In the evening, Ye Shiyu, who had had dinner, went back to the room after being told a few words by Ye Changkong.
Ye Changkong took the good wine that had been treasured in the door for many years, came to the top of the mountain alone, looked at Meng Fanyu, who was blown by the night wind and had white hair flying, and sat down beside him.
“......”
"I haven't been back for a long time, and it's a little strange. ”
Ye Changkong slapped the wine seal, poured the mellow wine into the bowl he brought, and handed it to Meng Fanyu.
Meng Fanyu glanced sideways at Ye Changkong, took the wine bowl, and drank the wine in the bowl.
I've known you for so many years, and I still think you're the most proud when you drink. ”
“...... Other times, aren't you proud?"
"There are other times when you are quite proud. ”
"When?"
"When you kill. ”
Meng Fanyu smiled when he heard this, and drank all the wine bowls that Ye Changkong had poured again.
"It's been more than ten years since I left this place, and I came back again today, and the past is vivid, just like you said, things are people, and people are not ......"
“...... Do you regret letting Xiaoxin go with me in the first place?"
When Ye Changkong heard this, his hand in pouring wine shook slightly, and then returned to normal again.
Ye Changkong drank the wine in the bowl, with a little confusion in his eyes, and said: "Her heart is in you, what if I don't let her go? I just hate that I came too late and couldn't save her!"
“...... It's none of your business, it's my fault. ”
"Lao Meng, in fact, I really hate you sometimes, why didn't you protect Xiaoxin in the first place!"
Ye Changkong's tone was aggravated, and he asked loudly.
Meng Fanyu was silent, but the redness of his eyes proved that his heart was by no means calm at the moment.
"Sorry......"
"I don't need your apology, but I wish it had been on me, but I didn't have a chance...... No chance......"
The wine bowl in Ye Changkong's hand fell, and his eyes looked at the sky with sloppy eyes.
And Meng Fanyu picked up the wine jar and drank it, this wine was as strong and mellow as usual, but it still had a slight bitterness.
Meng Fanyu put the wine jar on the ground and seemed to spit out two words: Xiaoxin.
“...... Half dream, half ... Awake... Half-drunk, awake from madness...... Crazy... Dream...... Also crazy!" Ye Changkong muttered to himself.
The two of them loved a woman at the same time, and one of them let go of it, which should have been the best ending, but because of the word fame and fortune, the two of them have regretted it for half their lives.
People in the world say that fame and fortune are good? I don't think so, the word fame and fortune are just a fleeting moment, and everything will eventually bring only a piece of dust.
..................
Ye Shiyu returned to the room and took out the things that Ye Cheng had stuffed into his arms. These days, he has been in a hurry, and Ye Shiyu has not been able to take it out and take a look.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, Ye Shiyu spread out the object that Ye Cheng gave him, and found that it was a map, the material was unknown, it was silky to the touch, and at the same time, there was a cold feeling on it.
"That's what this map draws?" Ye Shiyu touched his head and wondered.
"Forget it, let's put it away first, and ask the master again when I have the opportunity in the future, the most important thing at the moment is to learn martial arts well and avenge my father in the future!" Thinking of Ye Cheng's death, Ye Shiyu couldn't help gritting his teeth, with hatred in his eyes.
Put away the map, Ye Shiyu blew out the candles, went to bed, and what awaits him tomorrow?
