The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the Taoist got three more sparrows, five people and three sparrows, one for Zhou Bing, and two for the other four people to eat.

After eating, the three brothers of the Miao family were responsible for cleaning up their things, and the Taoist called Zhou Bing aside and said: "Last night, the poor Dao had been to the 'Eight Desolation Valley', and found out that what you said was true. ”

Zhou Bing was very grateful, and knelt down to the Taoist 'Bang Bang' and kowtowed three times and said, "The younger generation has thanked the immortal chief for the unjust souls of the 'Eight Desolation Valley'. ”

The Taoist was unceremonious, sat steadily, waited for Zhou Bing to finish kowtowing, and asked without waiting for him to get up: "Yesterday you said that you wanted to revive the 'Eight Desolate Valley' to avenge the master, but is it true?"

Zhou Bing said: "Don't dare to deceive the immortal chief. ”

Dao Daodao: "The 'Eight Desolate Valley' has produced a Jing Xihuang in two hundred years, and now the 'Eight Desolate Valley' is forbidden to lose your revenge. ”

Zhou Bing suddenly thought and said: "The younger generation asks the immortal to collect the door wall and teach the mastery." ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "Accept you as an apprentice? Do you know who Poor Dao is and what skills he has? Zhong Gu Lord's proud disciple is not something that anyone can accept." ”

Zhou Bing was stunned for a moment and said: "The nickname of the immortal chief has been remembered by the juniors. ”

The Taoist smiled again: "Nickname?'Right Demon Dao'? Then do you know who the 'Right Demon Dao' is? If there is a right, there must be a left, and who is the Left Demon Dao?"

Zhou Bing was speechless for a while, and the Taoist said: "To tell you the truth, the poor Dao is far inferior to your senior brother, and there is no out-of-school, are you still willing to apprentice?"

Zhou Bing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The master is above, and he is worshiped by the disciple." Saying that, he knocked his head three more times, he knew very well that when the person who can surpass his senior brother Jing Xihuang today dare not say that there is no same, he can't expect to meet a random person on the road who is a hidden master who surpasses his senior brother, as long as the other party's strength is above himself, he can learn the ability to apprentice, eat one bite at a time, and do things one by one, in other words, even if this person is not as good as him, the inheritance of the 'Six Divine Dao Hub' is above his 'Eight Desolation Valley', and he can also absorb the essence from it to a higher level.

The Taoist smiled slightly: "You can be down-to-earth and don't expect to ascend to the sky in one step, it's good, the poor road can accept you, but the poor road has two requirements." ”

Zhou Bing said, "Master, please speak." ”

Dao Daodao: "First, the 'Eight Desolation Valley' sect was wiped out, and the climate is still in the poor Dao to move the 'Six Divine Dao Pivots' and gather the displaced people to reclaim the wasteland and cultivate the land, you are now the only living person in the 'Eight Desolation Valley', and it is up to you to agree or not; Sanguan Palace's identity, are you willing to agree to these two conditions?"

The disciple agreed. ”

Zhou Bing waited for the Taoist to answer the Taoist, he was not stupid, he might have to be a Taoist priest under the door of the Taoist had already thought of this, and the northwest place where the 'Six Divine Dao Hub' is located has always been a bitter cold place with a lack of water and little food, and it is even more difficult to endure in this famine year, since this Taoist thought of moving the 'Six Divine Dao Hub' to the 'Eight Desolation Valley', it has become a natural thing after he worships the Taoist as a teacher, and the 'Eight Desolation Valley' has been burned and destroyed a lot,' The Six Divine Dao Pivots can also be repaired when they come, and if they want to return to the mountain gate after the famine has passed, then the construction left in the 'Eight Desolation Valley' will naturally have his benefit.

The Taoist saw that Zhou Bing readily agreed, and then there was no request, immediately simply bowed to the teacher, the Taoist did things vigorously, just accepted Zhou Bing and took Zhou Bing to the tomb of the three Taoist priests before the burial kneeling to recognize the teacher, the three Taoist priests were not so noble before, the strength was also average, the duty did a lifetime of good things and ended up starving to death, and even an apprentice was confiscated when he died, and the last immortal died after the villagers carried and buried, even the coffin, There is no etiquette at all, who ever thought that after death, a good life came, and somehow became a cheap master and a cheap ancestor.

The three brothers of the Miao family followed the Taoist and Zhou Bing, and watched the Taoist take Zhou Bing to do all this, and an inexplicable envy rose in his heart, Miao Laosan suddenly took two steps forward and knelt down, hugged the Taoist's leg and said: "Dao Chief, you can accept it with me." ”

"Oh?" The Taoist smiled and pointed at Zhou Bing and said, "He worships me as a teacher to practice martial arts and learn skills to take revenge, what are you for?"

"I also want to practice martial arts and learn skills. Miao Laosan replied casually, and when he saw the Taoist looking at him, he added: "You will catch a mouse, I will also learn this skill, and I will not be afraid of hunger in the future." ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "Okay, get up." ”

"Then do you accept it?" asked the third child.

"Take it and get up. The Taoist laughed.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Zhou Bing had been apprenticed before, but he didn't expect his brother to succeed in such a few simple words, Miao Lao Miao and Miao Lao Er were dumbfounded, and when they thought of such a big temptation as following the Taoist to starve to death, the two of them didn't care who it was, they immediately ran over and knelt in front of the Taoist and kowtowed: "The Taoist will accept it with the two of us." ”

The Taoist nodded and said, "Okay, get up." The two were overjoyed, and the three brothers kowtowed again, got up and pinched the Taoist's shoulders, and served the Taoist with dust.

Zhou Bing: .......

After that, for three days, the Taoist went out once or twice a day, and when he came back, he could always make a drum in his hand and come back to order food, sometimes it was a mouse, sometimes it was a sparrow, and on the third day, it was amazing, and the Taoist directly brought a wolf back, and the wolf meat was roasted on the three brothers of the Miao family while eating and crying, and the crying almost became three tearful people, and the three brothers called 'Master' to be closer than their father. Since the Taoist can get food, peeling, washing, barbecuing, cleaning the yard, lighting a fire and other things are all done by three people, the three of them eat less than Zhou Bing, and they do far more than Zhou Bing, they are still hardworking and diligent, these three people are also simple, as long as they stutter, they can't afford to be evil.

After such a day, it was three days, six or seven days of recuperation, plus the Taoist's pills had some effect, Zhou Bing's injuries were mostly healed, and this life was 100% saved. After eating roast wolf meat that night, Miao Laosan couldn't help but ask while pinching Master's shoulder: "Master, why did you accept me as an apprentice that day." ”

Dao said: "You have a good reason to apprentice, so I accepted you." ”

Miao Laosan asked strangely: "Is it a good reason to be afraid of being hungry?"

"Count, what reason in this world is more convincing than to live?"

Miao Laosan was extremely happy, pinched the Taoist even harder, and asked, "Master, if Senior Brother Zhou doesn't agree to your first condition that day, will you still accept him as an apprentice?"

"He will agree." ”

Miao Laosan said: "What if he doesn't agree?"

Dao Daodao: "He will definitely agree, even if others don't agree to what the master discusses with others at first, they all agree to it without exception." ”

Miao Laosan said curiously: "Master, you are so powerful, how can you discuss, can you teach me." ”

"Yes. Daoist said: "If there is one thing you have to do in the future, and others don't agree to discuss......" Speaking of this, the Taoist was stunned, which attracted Zhou Bing, Miao Laoda, Miao Lao's second, and Miao's third were all very curious, and they listened attentively, only to hear the Taoist continue: "Remember, then use your fists to discuss, and try all kinds of things." ”

Four: .......

The five masters and apprentices lived in the 'Sanguan Palace', and the three brothers of the Miao family cleaned the Taoist temple every day, and the Taoist and Zhou soldiers went out to get food and water.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the "Sanguan Palace" was reopened, there were no guests, no lanterns, no firecrackers, no gongs and drums, only eating and drinking, eating and cooking eagle meat, wolf meat, rabbit meat, mouse meat, and drinking melted ice water.

The news spread quickly in several surrounding villages, and there were not many things to give, but they were more sensational than the holy decree.

After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there is a legend in the surrounding villages, the legend is that when the people are bored for many years of famine, several immortals came to the 'Sanguan Palace', one of the old immortals is Gou Chen, who can conjure food to relieve the township, and the other four little immortals are sent by Suzaku to cook food with divine fire to go to the disaster.

In order to mix a bite to eat, countless people from the surrounding villages vied to come to the 'Sanguan Palace' to apprentice and seek immortals.
