Chapter 36 You Make Green Plums, I Ride a Bamboo Horse (Middle)
When the sun was shining, the inheritance ceremony of the Medicine King's Mansion officially began, and at this moment, almost all the guests and clansmen gathered in the hall. The previous head of the Medicine King Mansion said thank you for coming to watch the ceremony, and everyone present congratulated him.
"Let's let, let's go, I'm sorry, it's all your fault, it's all your long-mouthed monk!" Little Chu Xunyu, oh, no, it should be a little little Siyi, together with her sister Siyan, pulling Mu Yuan into the crowd.
Countless tall cultivators blocked the front of the three little guys like a mountain, and the three little guys grabbed the threshold of the hall and finally squeezed in, but there were too many people, and the three children entered the door and looked, okay, there were so many people in the room, and they were deflated at that time.
"Otherwise, let's not go and see it, it's better to eat. Xiao Muyuan looked at the crowd in front of him, couldn't help but be frightened, and said with some hesitation.
"Nonsense," Xiao Siyi's eyes widened, "It's all your long-mouthed monk who made trouble, otherwise it could be like this? Today is a celebration in the family, and it's hard to go out of the mountain gate, how can you just give up like this? ”
When Xiao Muyuan heard this, he was unhappy: "I said, my name is Mu Yuan, not a long-mouthed monk." ”
Xiao Siyi pursed her lips and wanted to continue to say something, but at this time, Siyan pointed ahead and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up, don't say it, mother is giving us a look." ”
Siyi listened, snorted, and forced Mu Yuan to squeeze in. Fortunately, the people present were all cultivators of famous families, with excellent cultivation, and when they saw three small children drilling under their waists, they couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously turned sideways and let the three of them pass.
The three little guys squeezed in sweaty, and finally got out of the crowd, and saw the people in the hall, all dressed in white robes, with an ancient seal "medicine" carved on their chests, busy and busy, the river is endless, Siyan pulled these two little ones, and came to a dignified woman, Siyan and Siyi did not dare to make a mistake, and at the same time respectfully said: "Mother." ”
Xiao Muyuan was startled, and quickly folded his hands, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Master Hui Tan of Zhejiang Tiantai Temple sat down with Mu Yuan and met his predecessors. ”
Siyi's mother nodded with a smile, and then said to Mu Yuan, "Master Hui Tan is over there, do you want to go over?"
When Mu Yuan heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "The master is very busy, I'll play with Siyi here." ”
Siyi's eyes widened, and he was about to expose his crime, when suddenly, a middle-aged man with a serious face walked over, not tall, wearing the dress of the Medicine King's Mansion, and said in a solemn voice: "Zhimei, you and I go to see the head of the family, there is something to say, Siyi and Siyan, you just wait here to watch the ceremony, don't be naughty." ”
Siyi's eyes, which were still staring, disappeared immediately as soon as he saw this middle-aged man coming, and he quickly lowered his head in fright, and said quietly: "Yes, father." ”
Siyi's father nodded, and went with his mother, at this time Mu Yuan stuck out his tongue and said, "Siyi, your father is so serious." ”
Siyi snorted, pulled Mu Yuan and Siyan together, walked to the corner, looked at the busy people in the hall, Siyi asked, "Monk Changzui, why are you following us, don't you go back to your master?"
"Well, don't go back yet, it's good to play with you. Xiao Muyuan was very happy to eat, and said without raising his head.
"Huh, why don't you go back?" asked Siyan strangely.
"Of course don't go back, they are all very serious adults, they rarely go out of the mountain, and they can't meet friends who are the same size as themselves. Xiao Muyuan replied with an aggrieved face. In fact, Xiao Mu Yuan didn't lie, he was adopted by Buddhism since he was a child, and since he was sensible, he was surrounded by brothers who recited scriptures, or he was a master who guided the practice, where are there a few playmates of the same age, thinking of this, Mu Yuan really wanted to stay, although I don't know if the master can agree, but at least this sentence is the truth.
The child is really so confused, Xiao Muyuan said the truth, it really moved the Siyi sisters and brothers, the two children suddenly sympathized again, Siyan said: "That's it, I'll talk to my mother later, you will live here in Siyi these days, anyway, you are not a bad person, there are a lot of delicious food." ”
When Xiao Siyi heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "How can this long-mouthed monk live with me, he will definitely eat all my snacks." ”
Xiao Muyuan let go of the oil gluten in his hand at the moment, didn't say anything, and walked to the opposite side with a gloomy expression, Siyan looked at it, and hurriedly grabbed it, blaming his younger brother: "Don't be so stingy, this little snack, you have to eat more outside, how can you still care about this little thing?"
Xiao Siyi looked at Mu Yuan's aggrieved eyes, so she had to come over and pat him on the shoulder, and reluctantly said, "Okay, you stay, but don't be sneaky when eating, you have to talk to us." ”
"Haha!" Mu Yuan's heart blossomed, but on the surface, he didn't make waves, and thanked the two of them again and again.
The child's temper is like a rainy day in summer, it will come, but it will be sunny and fast, no, when the three of them are not long, they will talk happily. When Siyi was fighting with Mu Yuan for today's bean paste cake, the main drama was finally about to play.
When the current head of the Medicine King Mansion stood on the main hall, and an elder next to him loudly announced the start of the ceremony, everyone present fell silent, and at this time, the people of the clan went to the inner room to invite the heir to come forward.
Xiao Muyuan saw it and asked in a low voice, "Who is the successor?"
Siyi said indifferently: "It seems to be my third cousin, and he will come out later." ”
"Is there an age limit for the heir?" picked up a ball of gluten and put it in his mouth, Xiao Muyuan looked into the distance curiously.
"Nope. At this time, Siyan replied: "As long as you pass the test, you can do it." ”
"Haha. Mu Yuan suddenly looked at Siyi and laughed. Both of them looked at him very strangely, what was going on?
"It turns out that you are a fool who failed the assessment!" Mu Yuan suddenly realized.
Xiao Siyi was immediately angry when he heard this, and said: "You long-mouthed monk eats your things, this thing can't stop your mouth, I don't dare to be interested, and being the head of the family has nothing to do with me." ”
"Amitabha. Mu Yuan replied hesitantly: "Sometimes not making excuses is also a manifestation of courage, my master said." ”
Siyi gave him a blank look, too lazy to pay attention to him. Just when everyone was talking, a teenager slowly walked out of the inner hall here, but seeing this young man with clear eyebrows, he came to the hall and saluted everyone, behaved decently, and was polite, so that people could not help but admire, what a young man.
The head of the family read out the rules of the door loudly, and there are three purposes of the Medicine King's Mansion: first, hanging the pot to help the world, second, to understand the righteousness, to understand the general situation, and finally, to revitalize the family, not to slack off. The rest are all kinds of small rules that extend from these three points.
After about an hour, the ceremony was finally over, and all that was left was for the boy to talk to the guests. Siyi and the three of them took this opportunity to slip out, and just came to the gate, not wanting to meet their father, Siyi whispered: "Father, it's over, let's go out to play." ”
Siyi's father looked at him quietly, finally nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't make trouble, Siyan, you are also optimistic about them." ”
Siyan nodded obediently, and took the two of them all the way to the backyard, found a meadow, took some pastries, and everyone sat down, looked at the blue sky, basking in the sun, slept on the grass, and lay down so comfortably.
The child is innocent, and there is nothing to scruple about, and it will be cooked in two clicks, Mu Yuan grabbed a piece of rice cake casually, put it in his mouth, and asked: "Hey, I said Siyi, you seem to be very afraid of your father." ”
"Yes. Xiao Siyi nodded, "He's very stern usually." ”
Xiao Muyuan smiled: "Isn't it good to be strict? I want to have a father, I don't know who it is, I have been raised since I was a child, and I want to have a strict father, but I don't have this opportunity." ”
Siyi played with a bean in his hand, put it in his mouth, looked at the blue sky, and shook his head: "I don't like him, he always asks me to learn this and that." ”
Siyan shook her head and poured a cup of tea: "That's because you don't want to do it, and your father always has high expectations for you." ”
"Nope. Siyi pursed his lips, "It's not high at all, he always forces me to learn those things I don't like, he always criticizes me, I hate that, I just want to live with peace of mind every day, like this." ”
After a while, he asked, "Bajie, what about you? Are you also learning this and that at the mountain gate?"
Xiao Mu Yuan said angrily: "My name is not Bajie, my name is Mu Yuan." ”
Siyi giggled with a smile and pointed at Mu Yuan's nose: "You are so gluttonous, and you are a person from Shamen, so I will call you Bajie." ”
Mu Yuan didn't like this nickname, so he reached over on the spot, and made a mess with Siyi, Siyan quietly watched the two little brothers play like this, and was also very happy, his younger brother himself knew that he had always been very lazy, he was the youngest in this generation, the eldest child in the family, he had his own affairs, he wouldn't play with the little one, the little one, they were all working hard, they had different dreams, and it was a very difficult thing to make friends and play like this.
Tired of fighting, Siyi asked: "Well, then, do you want to go to my house to play?" My house is fun, it is a place with mountains and rivers, very big, basically there are no outsiders, and there are a lot of delicious food. ”
Mu Yuan lay on the grass and giggled: "Okay, okay." Suddenly, his expression tightened, "But my master won't agree." ”
Sister Siyan was taken aback when she heard this, you must know that the mountain gate of this medicine king's mansion has always been a secret, how can you easily bring people in if others don't know? Hurriedly gestured to her younger brother with her eyes, hoping that he would understand. But Siyi didn't think so.
"That, sister, will I take him to Yaowang Mountain? There are many people there who know, and they are all there, and they are not far from home, so they are not far from home, and they are not considered to be protected at home? Please." ”
Looking at his younger brother's eyes, Siyan couldn't bear to disappoint him, thinking about it carefully, that Yaowang Mountain is a place that only a few people with great magical powers know in the rivers and lakes, and it is a place set up to go to the Yaowang Mansion to ask for medicine in an emergency, and it is indeed possible to go, and it is not a violation. So he asked again: "I don't count, how do you say you can get Master Hui Tan to agree?"
Xiao Siyi was stupid all of a sudden, yes, what should I do?
Siyan smiled: "You go and tell your father, he must have a way." ”
"Oh? no, no. He must have scolded me for not doing my job. Siyi immediately vetoed it.
"Silly brother, you believe in your sister, you go and say, your father will definitely promise you. ”
"Why?"
"No, why, you don't want Mu Yuan to go?"
"This ......" Siyi hesitated, thought for a long time, saw Mu Yuan's expectant eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll try it." ”
took Mu Yuan all the way to the courtyard, found his father, looked at the calm eyes, thought about it, explained the reason, and quietly waited for an answer.
"No!" replied the father calmly.
"Why?" Siyi's tears were about to come out, and he shouted loudly, this is the first time he has come into contact with friends from the outside world, how can he lose it like this?
Xiao Muyuan was startled, and quickly pulled the corner of La Siyi's clothes, if it doesn't work, forget it, you can't let them quarrel for themselves.
But Xiao Siyi didn't care so much, and asked loudly in the child's voice: "Why? Why? You tell me why?"
Father still stared at him so calmly, and said, "Because you can't memorize the Yellow Emperor's Neijing." ”
"I will, I will. ”
"Oh? Then let me ask you, how do you memorize the seven volumes?"
Xiao Siyi endured the grievances, and recited it loudly, and halfway through the back, his father interrupted: "What about "Lingshu"?"
Xiao Siyi memorized "Lingshu" again.
"Eighteen volumes of the Treatise on Typhoid Fever?"
Xiao Siyi stubbornly memorized it again, just like that, one question and one reciter, an hour passed, and several medical techniques such as "Difficult Scripture", "Shennong's Materia Medica", and "Pulse Sutra" were memorized.
Father didn't say a word, looked back at Mu Yuan, beckoned, Mu Yuan walked over cautiously, father put his big hand on Mu Yuan's little bald head, closed his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly opened it, nodded and said: "You are Master Hui Tan's disciple, well, very good, I'll go and talk to Master Hui Tan." He turned and left.
After a while, he came back and said to the two children: "Master Hui Tan agreed, you can go, for one month, after one month, come to pick up Mu Yuan." ”
This is the first time, the first time Siyi felt that his father helped him, Siyi was very excited, at that moment, he didn't know what to say, he held it for a long time, and whispered: "Thank you, father." ”
The father still looked at himself so solemnly, and only said, "Don't forget your homework." He turned around and walked away with a long back. When he was far away, Si Yi took a breath, shouted long live, and pulled Mu Yuan to run towards the sunset in the distance.
At this time, Siyan walked out of the far corner, saluted her father, and said, "My brother is still very good." ”
The father nodded and said lightly: "But on the day of the assessment, he was counted down." ”
"The little brother doesn't like that. ”
"I know. "But he'll grow up one day." ”
"yes," Siyan smiled, "that's a long time later, but I'm sure he'll understand." ”
