Chapter 2 Travels Section 24 Receiving Disciples
"The contemptible people came here today, and they really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Su Fatzi picked up the wine glass, took a sip, showed a look of remembrance on his face, and said, "This matter is a long story......
It turned out that the ancestor of the Zongheng family, Guiguzi, sat down and the two disciples Su Qin and Zhang Yi each acted in a vertical and horizontal strategy, competing against each other, and thus derived the Hezong faction and the Lianheng faction, both factions wanted to suppress each other, insisting that they were the authentic Guiguzi, which intensified until the big fight and both lost.
In the end, the two factions learned from the pain, returned to the negotiating table, and made a covenant: one of the two factions will conduct a competition in the first phase of the Yijiazi (sixty years), and the winner will occupy the sacred land of the Zonghengjia Yunmengze Ghost Valley in the next Jiazi, while the loser side will not be allowed to return to Yunmengze Ghost Valley in the next Jiazi, nor can it claim to be the successor of the Ghost Valley.
"More than 50 years ago, my father and the descendants of the Zhang family of the Lianheng faction had a big competition in Yunmengze Ghost Valley, and finally lost half a move, so they had to move their family out of Yunmengze Ghost Valley. ”
When Su Fatzi said this, two lines of turbid tears rushed down, and he choked up:
"My father became ill with grief and indignation, and since then he has been ill, and when he was dying three months later, he called me to the bedside, saying that after his death, he would have no face to see the ancestors of the Hezong faction, please cover his face with a black cloth and cremate it to ashes, and hope that when the Hezong faction recaptures the Yunmengze Ghost Valley in 60 years, he will bring his ashes back to be buried......"
..................
"Disturbing the world's fame and fortune, drunk alone in the middle of the night!" Meng Pei heard Su Fatzi's story, sighed, and said: "The predecessors of the father and son keep the festival and the filial piety, which is admirable." ”
"I can't bring my father's ashes back to Yunmengze Ghost Valley, how can I talk about filial piety?" Su Fatzi wiped a handful of tears, shook his head again and again, and said: "After my father died, I traveled to Kyushu, and finally settled down at the foot of Nanyue Heng Mountain, opened this inn, and at the same time practiced hard day and night, hoping to win the next competition. ”
Su Mei asked, "Fat Su, when is the next competition?"
"Counting up, this year is already the fifty-seventh year that I left Yunmengze Ghost Valley with my father, and there are still three years to go, and I will have to compete with Lianhengmen when I wait for Hezongmen!"
Su Fatzi smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that I could survive this competition, but now I finally understand that even if I go, it will only be to humiliate Hezongmen again." ”
Meng Pei and Su Mei both looked at Su Fatzi in confusion, Su Fatzi's ability was obvious to everyone, and they didn't understand why he was so depressed.
The competition has been carried out for thousands of years, which in itself proves that the level of the two factions is similar, not much higher, nor much lower, who wins and who loses depends on which faction's disciples are better, and they have a more thorough understanding of the master's learning.
Just like the Mohists and Confucianism called the pre-Qin "Xianxue", after the annihilation of the Mohists, Confucianism was prominent, the monasticism only thought that the Mohists were inferior to Confucianism, but a Mo Pingsheng told the world that there was no great learning, only great people.
Li Yi suddenly remembered that Su Fatzi used the "Heavenly Eye" today, and spit out a mouthful of blood and languished after receiving his own "Cloud Thunder Technique", and suddenly realized in his heart, and said, "The predecessor has already been injured?"
I still think it is the power of the "Heavenly Eye", it turns out that there is another hidden secret, think about it, Su Fatzi is the descendant of the Hezong faction, and he has been cultivating for decades, and An Neng vomited blood when he faced a hairy young man like himself?
"Li Gongzi is really clear and exquisite, you can know it at a guess!" Su Fatzi nodded appreciatively, and then his expression was gloomy, and said: "Six years ago, the child suffered from a serious illness and died, and the contemptible people were deeply affected by it. ”
Li Yi and the others were sad when they heard it, and they didn't know how to comfort Su Fatzi for a while, the so-called "three major pains" in life, namely "the loss of a father in a young man, the loss of a wife in middle age, and the loss of a son in old age".
..................
The contemptible man thought that he would never be able to fulfill his father's deathbed wish in this life, but he said that he should also be like his father, and die with a black scarf covering his face. ”
Su Fatzi's eyes suddenly showed a hint of fanaticism, and he stared at Li Yi and said: "God is pitiful, let the contemptible meet Li Gongzi today." ”
Should you want me to participate in the competition of the 60th anniversary of the Zongheng family, Li Yi said secretly: I can't win at this level, not to mention, my identity alone is not suitable.
For more than three years, he has sincerely regarded the Yunshan faction as his "home", and his master Guo Bushou has been as kind to him as a mountain, and he has no reason to change to other people.
"The contemptible person also has a bit of friendship with the reluctant Ming Xuozi, how can he dig the corner of Ming Xuzi?" As if he understood what Li Yi was thinking, Su Fatzi shook his head and said: "Besides, the Hezong Gate has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has its own glory and pride, if I ask Li Gongzi to help me recapture the Yunmengze Ghost Valley, not to mention that even the Heng faction is not convinced, it is the ancestors of the Hezong Gate, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will jump out of the ancestral tomb." ”
Speaking of this, Su Fatzi suddenly bowed down and made a big salute to Li Yi, and said, "The contemptible people have something to ask Li Gongzi for today, and I hope that Li Gongzi must agree!"
The cultivator made a very heavy promise, and there was a saying of "one promise and nine tripods", so Li Yi did not dare to agree rashly, Li Yi turned sideways and let go of Su Fatzi's gift, and said in a deep voice: "What do the seniors say, the juniors will see if they can help the seniors achieve their wishes." ”
The gentleman thinks before acting, so as not to lose his body, the Zongheng family is good at strategy, if Li Yi responds to Su Fatzi's request like this, Su Fatzi may not be at ease!
Su Fat Man nodded, clapped his hands outside, and after a while, a shopkeeper led a child-aged boy in, the boy was about five or six years old, and he was very well-behaved and cute, but he was a little afraid of life, and he saw so many people after coming in, and he kept holding the corner of Su Fatzi's clothes.
"This is the son of the child's widow, and the contemptible people named it Su Ze, in order to show that he will not forget the meaning of Yunmengze Ghost Valley!" Su Fatzi stroked the boy's head with his hand, his eyes were full of pity, and Li Yi said: "The contemptible people are now living in the world, and they have no face to return to Yunmengze Ghost Valley. ”
"Fat Su, even if my senior brother has great skills, he can't raise this Ze'er to be a person in just three years!" Su Mei was puzzled and said, "If you want to compete in sixty years, that ...... It's too far away, maybe my senior brother will become an immortal and ascend to the sky!"
Su Fatzi shook his head and said: "Because the Hezong Gate and the Lianheng Gate are both thin, it is because the predecessors of the Hezong Gate and the Lian Hengmen have an agreement when they discuss the 60-year competition: if the children under the door are less than 15 years old, they can ask outsiders to help them in the big competition, and after the helper side wins, they will not be allowed to occupy the Yunmengze Ghost Valley in the next 60 years, but they can make a request to the losing side!"
"The meaning of the predecessor is that three years later, Xiaodao will take Ze'er to Yunmengze Ghost Valley to compete with the heirs of the Hengmen, and if he wins, he will bury the ashes of his predecessor's father in Yunmengze Ghost Valley. Li Yi understood, frowned and said: "This matter can be inherited, but the trail is only shallow, I'm afraid I will disappoint my predecessors." ”
There are poems in "Han Yuefu": Humayi is the north wind, and the south branch of the bird's nest is crossed. At the time, people emphasized that the fallen leaves return to their roots and the soul returned to their homeland, Su Fatzi was seriously ill, his son died early, and his grandson was young, so he had to rest for his father's soul and turned to Li Yi for help, which was not excessive, so Li Yi did not refuse.
But three years later, do you have the ability to defeat the heirs of Lianhengmen?
..................
"If Li Gongzi can't help each other, then I won't want to enter the Ruyun Mengze Ghost Valley for half a step when I wait for Hezhongmen!"
I don't know where Su Fatzi's confidence in Li Yi came from, seeing that Li Yi promised to help, anyway, Su Fatzi was overjoyed and ordered Su Ze to come forward to apprentice, Li Yi was shocked, hurriedly dodged away, and said: "This can't be helped, the level of Xiaodao, self-protection is not enough, where can you mislead people's children? Besides, without the permission of the master, Xiaodao can't take in apprentices in vain." ”
How can he become an apprentice when he talks about it, Li Yi is only a teenager in his life, and he really has no psychological preparation, Li Yi suddenly has a feeling of getting on a thief ship, when Su Fatzi tried his mathematical skills with himself, he thought that the heirs of the Zongheng family could not enter other sects?
"You want to take Ze'er to Yunmengze Ghost Valley, and you refuse to join my Hezong Sect, you can't go as a disciple of the Yunshan Sect, right?" Su Fatzi's eyes widened, and he said, "I can only let Ze'er worship you as a teacher." ”
No matter how I listened to Li Yi, I felt that this qiē seemed to have been calculated by Su Fatzi, Li Yi couldn't cry or laugh, the strategy of the Zongheng family was unparalleled in the world, and it was really not false.
Li Yi watched Su Ze kneel three times and bow nine times to himself, and after Su Ze saluted, he said to Li Yi: "The disciple has seen the master!" and then shouted at Su Mei: "Hello aunt!"
Su Ze's crisp childlike voice made Su Mei so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, pinched Su Ze's little face, and said with a smile: "My nephew is really good!"
Su Mei was so deep in the play that she forgot that she was Li Yi's fake sister!
..................
Seeing that Li Yi was depressed, Su Fatzi didn't want to arouse Li Yi's disgust, and said: "Ze'er is the only descendant of the Hezong Sect, and he can't become the descendant of the Yunshan faction, he can only become a registered disciple of Li Gongzi, so Li Gongzi doesn't need to teach Ze'er how to behave with Ze'er!"
There is no need to report to the ancestor to recruit registered disciples, so Li Yi is exempted from the trouble of accepting apprentices without Guo Bushou's consent.
After a pause, Fat Su took out a small yellowed book from his arms, glanced at it reluctantly, put his hands on Li Yi, and said, "Ze'er is fortunate to worship Li Gongzi's disciples, how can he not have the gift of apprenticeship?"
There are a few quaint little words written on that little book: "Guiguzi Benjing Yin Fu Seven Techniques"
