Chapter 55: Apprenticeship
The old man came forward with a smile on his face, "Boy, you can't hide it from me, you must have a Jinque classic in your hand, let's open the skylight and say something bright, you copy a copy of the classic to me, old man, I will teach you Jinquewen, how about it, this deal is very cost-effective." β
Tang Li thought secretly, it's a good dealββ who are you stupid, since you know that it is Jin Quewen, you still can't find a way? Who knows what kind of heart you old man has.
"By the way, I haven't asked my seniors for their names," Tang Li saluted, he thought to himself, and then asked his senior sister to check the details of this person, if it was just an inconsequential existence, he went to the deacon hall to sue him for ,ββ private collection of sect classics.
"Everyone else calls me a sloppy Taoist, just call me an old man. The old man said.
"Sloppy Taoist?" Tang Li muttered, his brows furrowed, and he said in his heart, why does this person sound so familiar?
He remembered that this sloppy Taoist was a guest elder in the Immortal Cave, his cultivation was unknown, he had no fixed residence, he was nosy, and he had instructed Ling Yu's sword technique on a whim, and he was known as a sloppy Taoist.
But this senior is just a tricky character, and he only appears once in the book.
"The disciple meets the seniors. Tang Li hurriedly bowed.
"Do you know me?" the old man looked dazed.
"I don't know," Tang Li hurriedly shook his head, saying in his heart that it was so dangerous, he almost said that he had leaked his mouth.
"No, how do you know that the old man is a senior," the old man's face suddenly became solemn, "Boy, you have something to hide from me, your eyes are wrong." β
Tang Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in his heart, why is this old man such a thief, and hurriedly said, "The people with the Taoist numbers in the door are all masters, and the disciples shout seniors, is there anything wrong?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that," the old man nodded, and then glared, "Don't talk nonsense, you must have something to hide from me, and besides, why did you look up the Jin Que text? β
"Senior, how can you bully the small with a big one?" Tang Li said with a bitter face, "Bullying a junior, if this is spread out, how can you have your old face?"
"Say I'm bullying the small?" the old man smiled, "Do you have any proof?"
Tang Li was stunned, and said in his heart, you are an old scoundrel, is this not clear!
Seeing that Tang Li was silent, the old man was not in a hurry, so he just stood in front of him and looked at him with a wicked smile.
An hour later, Tang Li was about to collapse when he was looked at by this old face, but the old man still maintained the same expression, motionless.
"Senior, what do you want?" Tang Li was a little breathless.
"Make this deal with the old man, I will let you go, and in terms of cultivation and spells, I can still give you a point or two, but if you want to learn spells, you have to worship me as a teacher first," the old man stiffened his waist and said, "You can worship me as a teacher, you kid can take a big advantage." β
Tang Centrifugal gritted his teeth, but still bowed to the end, "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." β
"Come less," the old man waved his hand and said, "If you want to worship me as a teacher, you need to bow three times and bow nine times, burn incense and sacrifice ancestors, how can you be so hasty." β
"If it doesn't work, forget it," Tang Li looked too lazy to deal with it, turned around and left.
"Stop!" The old man shook his body and blocked Tang Li's way again, "Since you call me Master, you should be a proper apprentice, and you should be appropriate, but I can't help you." β
"Huh?" Tang Li was completely stunned at this moment, and the boat capsized in the gutter.
......
Somewhere in the valley of the sect, in a quiet purple bamboo courtyard.
The sloppy Taoist sits in the high hall, next to him is a jade table, which is full of rare and exotic fruits, and there is an incense burner, three sandalwood sticks, and the fireworks are insignificant.
On the back wall, there is a three-foot portrait of a figure, in which the figure is kind and kind-eyed, with a dark light on his head, and his feet on auspicious clouds.
After Tang Li bowed three times and bowed nine times, a sloppy Taoist had a smug look on his face.
"Now that you are a great disciple of this sect, you must keep in mind the precepts of the master, first, do not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, second, do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and third, do not ....... β
"Have you memorized the twelve precepts that I just said for the teacher?" said the sloppy Taoist.
"Apprentice remember," Tang said, then looked up at the figure in the painting and asked, "Master, which immortal is the ancestor on the portrait?" β
There is no doubt that there is him, who can be painted in the painting and worshiped by the incense, it must be the ancestor of the master, and this person has Qingyun on his feet, the light on his head, it is strange if he is not a fairy, Tang Li secretly thought, if he worships under which door, it is not a small opportunity.
"The portrait in the painting is naturally your master and me. The old man pursed his lips and smiled, and said very proudly as he stroked his beard stuck together.
"Uh...... , "Tang Li, this Khan, you bad old man painted yourself like a fairy, you can sleep well!"
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, "Master was also quite handsome when he was young." β
"What are these words?" the old man raised his eyebrows, his face a little unhappy, "The person in this painting is the Dharma body of the teacher, and now this skin is just borrowed from a dying person." β
Tang said that you can blow it, there are no outsiders anyway.
The old man continued, "Tang Li, you are an apprentice of this Dao, and as a master, you will naturally not treat you badly, what kind of magic weapon are you using now?"
Tang Li's heart was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that this was a cheap master to give a treasure, and as soon as his mind moved, the Qianjun stick flashed in his hand, "Back to the master, the disciple used the Qianjun stick." β
The old man nodded, "Well, with your current cultivation, you can only urge this kind of inferior magic weapon, and when you succeed in cultivation in the future, the teacher will give you treasures, before that, the teacher will teach you a skill, so as not to go out and embarrass the teacher." β
Tang Li thought that this cheap master could give him one or two treasures, and his mood plummeted in an instant, but when he heard that he had the ability to teach, he felt a little better.
"Get up," the old man asked Tang Li to his feet, and then asked, "What do you want to learn from the eighteen weapons?"
"The apprentice has been using a stick, but he is also very handy. Tang Li straightened up and replied.
"That's good, as a teacher, I will teach you the seventy-two style sealing magic stick method. β
"Crazy Demon Stick Method?" Tang Li heard the name of this stick method, how could he feel so evil, is this going crazy to practice?
The old man ignored Tang Li, but said to himself, "Speaking of this set of stick methods, we have to start with that immortal and demon war,......γ β
Tang Li listened to it with relish for more than an hour, listening to it with boiling blood and shining eyes, plus the old man spoke very vividly, which was much more energetic than reading a novel.
"Later, Master?" Tang Li heard the critical moment, and the old man suddenly stopped talking.
"Alas," the old man sighed, with a look of remorse on his face, "As a teacher, he was also careless at that time, he was successfully attacked by that demon venerable, destroyed the law body, and the primordial god fell into the mortal world, and his cultivation was already a big loss, and he returned to heaven again, and I don't know how many years it will take." β
Tang Li saw that the old man didn't look like he was pretending, and couldn't help but believe in the identity of this cheap master, and then listened to the old man tell what happened next.
