The dog baby raised her head and smiled at Zheng Dao, and said, "Uncle, you are too polite, just a steamed bun, and it is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, you don't have to take it to heart." When I was a child, my mother told me that I should be a helpful and grateful person, and if others help me, I will also help others. ”

Zheng Dao nodded secretly, and said solemnly: "Dog baby, are you willing to learn from me, and you can kill demons in the future?"

As soon as the dog baby heard this, she immediately said excitedly: "Uncle, can you really teach me skills?"

Zheng Dao smiled and nodded. Seeing Zheng Dao nodding, the dog baby immediately clapped her hands happily, jumping back and forth in the broken house, and shouted: "Oh, oh, great, I can learn skills, oh, oh, great, I can learn skills." At this time, the lively nature of a child is revealed.

Zheng Dao looked at the excited dog baby with a smile, and only after he calmed down did he say, "Since you want to learn skills, then come and apprentice." ”

This dog baby has suffered a lot since the death of her parents, and every day she survives under the white eyes of others and the shadow of those terrifying monsters, and has long understood the truth of bowing her head and being a man. He didn't know how many he should knock, he kept knocking, knocking, knocking, knocking, knocking, knocking and not stopping after knocking eight, and knocking the ninth.

Seeing that he didn't understand these rules, Zheng Dao hurriedly stopped him, and jokingly said: "Enough, enough, you are going to send me to the funeral." ”

The dog baby stood up with a smirk and barked honestly, "Master." ”

Zheng Dao smiled and nodded, and asked again: "You don't know what your name is, so do you know what your own surname is?"

Gouwa said: "I should be surnamed Zhao, because most of the people who live in this village are surnamed Zhao, and they are all members of their own family." The Uncle Zhao who gave me the steamed buns today is one of my distant uncles. ”

Zheng Dao nodded and began to think about it, and after thinking for a while, Zheng Dao said: "You can't call the dog baby anymore, it's too ugly, since you worship me as a teacher, then I'll give you a name, how about you call 'Zhao Keming' in the future?"

Because the dog baby had never read a book, she didn't understand the meaning of the name 'Zhao Keming', so she read it twice and thought it sounded good, so she happily nodded in agreement.

Zheng Dao gave him this name with two meanings: First, these three words are taken from the opening two sentences of Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey": Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The implication is that when this child grows up, he will be like a chivalrous man, slaying demons and demons with swords.

The second is that the word Keming refers to the fact that the child saw a glimmer of light because he met Zheng Dao, a passing guest, and Zheng Dao wanted to save him from fire and water. Zheng Dao gave him a name and planned to start teaching him the exercises.

After pondering for a while, Zheng Dao said to Zhao Keming: "Ming'er, for the teacher, I will teach you two sets of exercises, one is called "Wisdom Eyes and Bright Pupils", and you can see everything in the world when you practice to the highest level.

The other set is called "Sealing the Heavenly God Seal", practicing this set of exercises will make your right hand form a magic seal, which can help you deal with those monsters, and when you see them again, you will carry the Heavenly God Seal to their bodies, and the monsters who are lower than you can directly seal it.

Cultivating as monsters that are a little higher than you can also temporarily seal them, but if you meet someone who cultivates to a realm higher than you, you don't want to use it, the gap is too big, and it doesn't have much effect, but as long as there is a seal of the gods, those things that are souls will not dare to approach you. ”

Zhao Keming listened carefully, and the expression on his little face was very serious. Zheng Dao then said, "You sit down and teach you the mantra of the first layer of the two sets of exercises. ”

Zhao Keming obediently sat opposite Zheng Dao, and Zheng Dao recited a sentence. This Zhao Keming is very smart, Zheng Dao has memorized a rough idea after the first time, Zheng Dao has memorized it all after the second time, and Zheng Dao has recited it for the third time for him to consolidate.

After he had memorized all the formulas, Zheng Dao explained to him the key points and difficulties in the formulas one by one, and taught him how to cultivate. This Zhao Keming can also be regarded as a genius of Tianzhong, and in a short period of time, he actually integrated the first layer of the two sets of exercises, and cultivated in a decent way, Zhao Keming and Zheng Dao both spent a short afternoon in cultivation.

At dusk, Zhao Keming, who had been running the true qi in his body for two weeks, had a very obvious feeling that his master had indeed passed on to him a very profound exercise. I was very happy in my heart, and my gratitude and respect for Zheng Dao added a little more.

Zhao Keming, who felt that his body had changed a little, jumped up after opening his eyes, stood in front of Zheng Dao and said happily: "Master, you rest, wait for the apprentice to ask for some food, let's satisfy our hunger." ”

Zheng Dao immediately laughed when he heard him say this, laughing so much that tears were about to come out before he stopped, Zhao Keming looked at Zheng Dao inexplicably, I don't know why he was laughing, and stood there in a daze and didn't know what to do.

Zheng Dao stopped laughing and said, "Apprentice, you are already a person who cultivates the true Tao, how can you go and ask for food again, not to mention that with the master here, can't you fill your stomach?"

Zheng Dao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Let's go, Master will take you to see the world." You go and pack up, bring everything you want with you, and you probably won't come back later. ”

Zhao Keming glanced around, a sad look appeared on his face, and said reluctantly: "Master, I don't have anything, just take me away." ”

Zheng Dao grabbed Zhao Keming's little dirty hand, looked at his little face, his heart was full of pity, and he also looked around, feeling that there was really nothing to bring, so he said, "Okay, then let's go." With that, Zheng Dao stepped out, pulled Zhao Keming and disappeared.

The next moment, Zheng Dao and Zhao Keming had arrived at the outskirts of the capital, pulling Zhao Keming into the city, the prosperous scene made Zhao Keming's eyes widen immediately, and he didn't know what to say in surprise, in his young heart, he couldn't imagine that there was such a prosperous place in the world.

Zheng Dao took him to the bathhouse first, and the two of them took a hot bath comfortably, probably since Zhao Keming's mother died, he has never taken a bath again, his small body is full of dirt, and Zheng Dao, who has been running around in the wild for many days, has to have two catties of soil on his body.

The master and apprentice actually washed a pool of water into a faint black. If Zheng Dao hadn't thrown a silver ingot on the counter when he entered the door, I'm afraid the two would have been kicked out a long time ago.

After the two of them finished taking a bath, the people who ran the hall had already bought two sets of clothes inside and outside according to Zhao Keming's body size according to Zheng Dao's instructions and sent them over, this may be Zhao Keming's first decent new clothes so big, not to mention how beautiful they are after wearing them.
