Sunset over the West Mountains. Old tree crows. The fog gradually swept over the mountain.

The night has come, the future is long, where is the road?

The cold wind was shivering, and Li Tianqi, who was out of breath, wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, but he still couldn't help shivering. After all, he is still a young man who has never been in the world, and he has never been far away.

"Woo...... Wow...... Whoa......" The cries of various beasts echoed each other. The sound of the beast still coming from the distance still makes people's hearts chill, not to mention that the person in front of him is just a teenager.

It had been a while since he left the mountain, and the man in the hat did not chase him, and now he was alone in the lonely mountain, and he inevitably felt lonely and sad. He remembered Fang Cai's thrilling but puzzled scene again, why did the man in the hat save himself from the tiger's mouth? Why did he pinch himself in the air again? Li Tianqi couldn't think of a reason no matter what, and his heart was still in chaos.

He couldn't help but touch the stack of gold leaves in his arms, which he had only discovered when he was resting not long ago. Presumably, the man with the hat had secretly stuffed it into his package, for he had not carried such a precious gold leaf with him before he met him, but only six copper plates left by his mother. For as long as he can remember, his mother has taught him many everyday things, and vaguely remembers that golden things are valuable things.

A candle flame was dancing not far away, and there seemed to be a regular ringing of bells in the distance.

"Heavenly spirits, earth spirits, there are heavenly masters like gods, demons and monsters don't move forward. ”

Finally seeing someone again, his courage suddenly rose, Li Tianqi was secretly happy in his heart, and he quickened his pace and kept up.

It was vaguely visible that it was a man dressed as a Maoshan Taoist priest, holding a lantern in his left hand, a rattle in his right hand, and chanting a demon exorcism charm in his mouth.

A gust of wind blew through the lanterns.

However, the Maoshan Taoist priest did not panic, stretched out his hand to meet the air, and in an instant, there was an extra Heavenly Master talisman in his hand.

"Hurry as the law!"

The Celestial Master Talisman instantly burst into flames and re-lit the lantern.

Master! Learn from a teacher! Li Tianqi's mind flashed this thought.

"Heavenly Master!" Li Tianqi shouted excitedly from behind the Maoshan Daoist. The Taoist priest of Maoshan was shocked.

"Ahh

"Heavenly Master!" Li Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, ignoring the hardness of the gravel on the ground, "Please accept me as a disciple." ”

The Taoist priest of Maoshan had already found that it was a young man, and he had secretly regained his composure, but his right hand still quickly pinned the rattle back to his waist, skillfully reached out and pulled out the peachwood sword from behind him, and pointed at Li Tianqi with two fingers in his left hand, posing as a demon catcher, chanting words in his mouth, and shouting: "Bah! Which way are you a demon!

The lantern that fell to the ground suddenly burst into flames, igniting the weeds on the side of the road, instantly igniting a fire several feet high. The flickering light of the fire illuminated the faces of the two. The Taoist priest of Maoshan has two slender beards on his mouth, his eyes are smart, and he wears a heavenly master hat, but he has the appearance of a fairy wind and a demon hunter.

"Heavenly Master, I'm not a monster, please take me as an apprentice. The honest Li Tianqi continued to bow, and suddenly three golden leaves fell out of his arms, "I implore the Heavenly Master to accept me as a disciple." ”

The Maoshan Taoist priest had sharp eyes, and he had already seen the three golden leaves, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Oh, it's not a demon. The Taoist priest of Maoshan pretended to make a gesture, but his eyes were staring at the shining gold leaves, and he immediately put away the peachwood sword, "Get up, who are you?"

Li Tianqi hurriedly picked up the golden leaf and stuffed it back into his arms, but he didn't get up, he raised his head and puffed up his chest when he heard the words, and said, "Heavenly Master, I am from Qingshui Village, but the village suffered from the scourge of the mountain gods, and I was the only one left to escape. Master Wanwang Heavenly Master took me as an apprentice, taught me skills, and I can take revenge!"

"Little kids. Maoshan Taoist: "In this area, there is no mountain god, don't fool me!"

"Heavenly Master, can ......" Li Tianqi's mind flashed the appearance of the mountain god: "But I obviously saw the appearance of the mountain god." ”

The Taoist priest of Maoshan showed a proud look and said: "My great heavenly master, I haven't seen any demons and monsters, but I haven't seen a fairy, you are a milky child who has not dried up, and the hairless mouth actually said that he has seen a fairy, I don't believe it." ”

Li Tianqi looked innocent and said slowly: "Really, I said to listen to you." ”

He described what happened to the mountain temple in the original way.

After hearing this, the Taoist priest of Maoshan laughed: "This should be a caterpillar into a sperm, and you still think it is a mountain god." ”

Li Tianqi asked blankly, "It's not a mountain god?"

The Taoist priest of Maoshan smiled: "Of course it is not a mountain god, it is a monster that has cultivated into a spirit. ”

Li Tianqi gritted his teeth hatefully, punched the ground and said, "It turned out to be a caterpillar." We also worship it as if it were a god. ”

The Taoist priest of Maoshan said indifferently: "You get up." ”

Li Tianqi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I beg the Heavenly Master to accept me as an apprentice." ”

Taoist priest Maoshan helped Li Tianqi with both hands: "I want to accept you as an apprentice, isn't it...... No way. He twisted his beard and pretended to be deep, and glanced at Li Tianqi out of the corner of his eye. "But...... It's not easy to be a celestial master. ”

Li Tianqi hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship. ”

"Why did you kneel down again?" said the Maoshan priest shook his head.

"Heavenly Master, please accept me, otherwise I won't get up. Li Tianqi hurriedly said.

The Taoist priest of Maoshan shook his head: "No, this." Endure this ......"

Li Tianqi said again: "I'm not afraid of the mountain god, no, I'm not afraid of the insect demon, I'm not afraid of the demon." ”

Taoist priest Maoshan still shook his head: "This, this, it's still a bit ......"

Li Tianqi was a little anxious: "Heavenly Master, tell me how to accept me as an apprentice." ”

"Good. Maoshan Taoist: "Catching demons is very important, but first of all, as demon hunting masters, we are human beings, people always have to eat, they want to eat, they can't always be empty-handed......" He stretched out his right hand and gestured to count the money.

Li Tianqi hurriedly said: "I'm small and don't eat much. ”

The Taoist priest of Maoshan shook his head, and at this time he was secretly a little anxious in his heart, "You can't teach your son, you can't teach your son." Your qualifications seem to be very ordinary and limited. He waved his hand.

Li Tianqi continued to bow: "Heavenly Master, you must teach me." Although I can't be qualified, I ......" for a while, Li Tianqi didn't know what to say.

"That's it, that's it, boy, you're stupid. It's hard. Daoist Maoshan shook his head again and waved to turn away.

"Heavenly Master!" Li Tianqi was in a hurry, and hurriedly took out a gold leaf from his arms and offered it with both hands, "This ......"

The Maoshan Taoist priest who was secretly happy caught a glimpse of Li Tianqi's dazzling action from the corner of his eye, and the body that was about to turn around immediately turned around.

"The children are teachable, and the qualifications are not bad. The Taoist priest of Maoshan happily took Li Tianqi's golden leaf and helped him up, "Get up." ”

"Is the Heavenly Master finally willing to accept me as an apprentice?" Li Tianqi asked eagerly with a happy smile on his immature face.

"Yes, I am your master now. The Taoist priest of Maoshan said, he quickly received the gold leaf in his arms, thinking, don't lose it, and pressed it hard a few times to be safe.

Li Tianqi hurriedly stood up from the ground and thanked him, "Master." ”

"Uh-huh. The Taoist priest of Maoshan replied casually, "Disciple." ”

The grass by the side of the road was about to burn out, and the fire was fading.

"I don't know what kind of mountain immortal Master is, can you tell me?" asked Li Tianqi.

"Oh...... This, um" The Taoist priest of Maoshan thought for a while, his eyes rolled and he shook his head and said: "See the demon and destroy the demon, meet the demon and eliminate the demon, kick the leg to kill the demon and eliminate the demon, raise the fist to save the suffering and save the suffering, the unparalleled dream of the heavenly master." It's me, your Master. What about you, boy. ”

"Wow, Dream Shadow Heavenly Master! This name is loud! It's a powerful character when you hear it. Li Tianqi was full of joy, "Tell Master, my name is Li Tianqi." My mother called me Qi'er. ”

"Beggar?" "Mengyou Heavenly Master shook his head, "No, no, the name is too vulgar, it feels like you want to eat, or I'll give you one." Otherwise, going out to walk the rivers and lakes will damage my name as a dream heavenly master!"

"But the name is taken by the parents, how can it be ......" Li Tianqi had some questions.

"A teacher for one day, a father for life. The Dream Celestial Master said, "Have you heard of it? I'll give you something nice to listen to now." Oh, it's not the name of the road. When you go out to walk, how can you do without a road number? As a teacher, he is the highest ranking heavenly master in Wudang Mountain, Wudang Mountain knows, right?"

"Yes, yes, Master. Li Tianqi nodded, then knelt on one leg, arched his hands and said, "Please give me the road number." ”

"This dark night, cold wind, night wind......? Cold Wind?" "The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master pinched his beard, thought for a while, and then said, "Your Dao name is called Cold Wind." Han Zi generation, in the future, when someone asks about your road number, you will say cold wind. ”

"Cold wind?" Li Tianqi thought for a while, "Cold wind?" well, it's good, it feels a little fairy." ”

"Of course. Mengyou Heavenly Master: "On such a cold day, when I meet you, fate, it's decided, let's call it the cold wind." ”

"Master Xie. Li Tianqi didn't think much about it, and bowed to the ground again.

"Arise, get up. Mengyou Heavenly Master raised his hand to signal Li Tianqi to get up, and then waved his hand, "Let's go, but the cost of the inn in front will be relatively large, and a gold leaf will soon run out." ”

Li Tianqi touched his arms, "Master, I still have it here, I'll just support it first." ”

Master Mengyou laughed, "Okay, you have potential, I didn't mistake you as a teacher." ”

Li Tianqi: "Master, can we hurry now?"

Dream Shadow Celestial Master: "There is an inn not far ahead." Let's go have a good meal and celebrate. You should support first. ”

Li Tianqi: "Obey the teacher's orders." ”

"Apprentice, look at your conversation, you don't look like a child in the mountains and countryside, as a teacher, I feel that you are from the imperial capital of the imperial city. "Dream Heavenly Master said.

"That's what my mother taught me. Treat others politely, neither humble nor arrogant. Li Tianqi said.

"A person in the mountains and countryside can still have such a person who can read and write? A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Master of Mengyou, and he couldn't help but imagine in his mind what kind of character Mother Li was in the small village in the mountains?

Master Mengyoutian took out the wax oil from his backpack and made a torch out of some dead branches, "Let's go, a cup of tea will be here." ”

"Okay. ”

The two packed up and continued on their way.

A little firelight, one large and one small, gradually disappeared into the barren mountains at night.

An old wolf ran along the road, sniffing the burned weeds, "Woo......
