Chapter 31: Apprenticeship, Descending the Mountain

Previous Chapter

When night fell, Qiu Sheng went to Xuanyue Cave. Along the way, all the disciples who saw Qiu Sheng took the initiative to say hello, and Qiu Sheng also responded one by one.

The disciples did not leave, because after the discussion of the heads of the sects, they would rest for a day tomorrow and explore the Yuanying Cave Mansion the day after tomorrow!

Before he came to Xuanyue Cave and entered it, Qiu Sheng found that Yun Xuan was already waiting for him while drinking.

"From today onwards, I can really call you a junior brother. Yun Xuan said with a smile.

"But I've long regarded you as my real brother. ”

"Hahaha...... Let's go, come with me to see the Master. After speaking, he pulled up Qiu Sheng and lifted off directly.

Qiu Sheng was very envious of this feeling of walking in the air, and wondered when he could do this, so that he could go to find his parents.

After a while, Yun Xuan took Qiu Sheng to the gate of a cave, which was dozens of miles away from Xuanyue Cave, and the temperature in the cave was extremely low, which mortals would not be able to bear.

A fair-skinned old man sits on a futon with his eyes closed, and although his face looks like frost, it gives people a sense of serenity.

This person is Han Songzi.

"Disciple Yun Xuan, bring your junior disciple Qiu Sheng to meet the master and pay homage to the master. ”

Hearing this, Han Songzi opened his eyes and stood up.

"There are only three people present, you and me, master and apprentice, why be so restrained, just come in. ”

Yun Xuan didn't say much, and walked in with Qiu Sheng.

Han Songzi looked at Qiu Sheng and stared at him for a few breaths before he smiled and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple of Han Songzi?"

When Qiu Sheng heard this, he was silent for a while: "The disciple was pitied by Senior Brother Yun and helped arrange it to pave the way for his future, so he should be grateful." ”

When Han Songzi heard this, how could he not understand the meaning of Qiu Sheng's words. This remark only mentions Yun Xuan and does not mention his Han Songzi at all, which already shows Qiu Sheng's meaning.

That is, Qiu Sheng's willingness to worship Han Songzi as a teacher is completely due to Yun Xuan.

In fact, it is true, Qiu Sheng has been worshipping Wang Tian as his godfather for a few months, and he regards Wang Tian as a father and a teacher, and then Yun Xuan taught him three styles of swordsmanship, and Qiu Sheng is also a brother and a friend, both of whom can be masters in Qiu Sheng's eyes, so Qiu Sheng is reluctant to touch others too much. But if he doesn't accept it, he will also live up to Yun Xuan's hard work, and he will be even more ashamed of being commensurate with his senior brother and younger brother.

Han Songzi sighed lightly: "With your talent and current reputation, you can worship anyone as a teacher, and I won't force you." But if you are willing to kneel down and bow to me, I only have one sentence, even if the mountains and rivers turn day by day, the mulberry fields and the sea, the Tao and the heart are connected......"

Qiu Sheng's body was shocked, he was silent for a few breaths, stood in front of Han Songzi, and slowly knelt down. Because he knows that the meaning of the four words connected by the heart of the Tao is too heavy!

Three kneels and nine knocks, one kneel and one cause, one buckle and one edge......

Han Songzi looked at Qiu Sheng quietly like this, smiling. After Qiu Sheng finished bowing, he helped Qiu Sheng up, and laughed loudly: "Although my Han Songzi cultivation is not good, but I have two of you as my disciples in my life, and I have to be like this, what more can I ask for......!"

Yun Xuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looked at it with a smile on his face.

"Today's apprenticeship, there is no meeting gift for the teacher, this has three articles of my immortal secret method, not the three elders of the past dynasties, one is the heart fire trick, which is practiced by your uncle Chi Songzi, one is the heart of the moon trick, for your master respects me belongs, and finally it is the heart wood trick, which is your master and uncle. These three tips, two for the extreme, one to take the golden mean. You can only choose one of the three, you can't practice both, remember!"

After speaking, the middle finger of his right hand touched the top of Qiu Sheng's head, and then the three formulas appeared in Qiu Sheng's mind.

"This mantra is my immortal hidden treasure, and it is said that the patriarch of the sect obtained it from the hands of strange people, so you must not pass it lightly. ”

Qiu Sheng was moved, waved his hands at Han Songzi, and bowed down.

"Master Xie. ”

Seeing this, Yun Xuan said with a smile: "Master is inevitably biased, why didn't I have anything when I started. ”

"At the beginning, you had evil qi and were not suitable for cultivation, but later you were a genius and created your own sword style, but it was much more clever than this, how could you care. Han Songzi smiled and shook his head.

"Next, I will ask you Senior Brother Yun, he will arrange everything. ”

In that case, the disciple retired. ”

Qiu Shengyunxuan and the others left the cave all the way.

"Senior brother, since I have a rest tomorrow, I want to go down the mountain. ”

"Naturally, I'll send you then. ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yun Xuan came to the outer gate early.

"Senior Brother Qiu, the rules of the Immortal Hidden Gate, all the three old disciples can own a cave mansion, when will you move in?"

"There's no rush in this matter, let's talk about it after the cave house investigates the secrets. ”

"So it's up to you. ”

After speaking, Yun Xuan took Qiu Sheng down the mountain with his sword.

Qiu Sheng is wearing a white filial piety dress today, and his hair is scattered, which looks a little elegant.

Along the way, Qiu Sheng secretly looked at the top of the hidden peak, layers of white mist, heavy rain sprayed from time to time, and there were a lot of winds, and the environment was extremely harsh. Cliffs and cliffs, there is no place to climb.

"No wonder you have to build a foundation, this is true. ”

At this time, Qiu Sheng suddenly sighed, when he first went up the mountain, he was unconscious, but today he was full of anxiety and restlessness when he went down the mountain. I couldn't help but think of my godfather again, and a burst of pathos poured out like a river.

After a while, at a high place, Qiu Sheng could vaguely see the small river at the foot of Tianyin Mountain that led directly to the village, and even a little smoke in the village.

I'm so excited!

When he actually landed at the foot of the mountain, Qiu Sheng saw at a glance that a lonely dirt bag was sitting between the jungles, and a few flowers and plants on the soil bag were slowly growing.

Qiu Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, a group of tears burst out of his eyes, ran over like flying, plopped down and knelt directly on the ground, and cried.

Although Qiu Sheng is already a monk and his scheming is slowly maturing, after all, he is only sixteen years old, how can he avoid the red dust of the world, besides, Qiu Sheng will not avoid it, let alone forget it!

Seeing this, Yun Xuan had a complicated mood, but he didn't say much, standing quietly behind Qiu Sheng, which could be regarded as a kind of protection.

"Godfather, please forgive Sheng'er for being incompetent, I can only see you today. But Sheng'er has never forgotten, thinking about it all the time, looking forward to it every minute. ”

"Godfather, you once said that you also envy those immortals who flew away from the sky, Sheng'er has now embarked on the path of immortals and has become the so-called immortals, godfather, are you proud of Sheng'er. ”

"The road to immortality is hard, but your pure teachings, follow the good temptation, Sheng'er always remember, in order to overcome thorns and thorns all the way, in order to be not afraid of the strong, stand up to the sky, and be worthy of your heart. ”

"Sheng'er's all this, will the godfather see it, and will he feel relieved in the dark......"

......

In the end, Qiu Sheng's mood slowly calmed down, Yun Xuan waved his right hand, and some cups, drinks, and dishes appeared in front of the grave, and Qiu Sheng slowly filled the two wine glasses.

"Godfather, you are free and easy, uninhibited, and you love wine, today I brought Xianyin wine, so that Godfather can also taste the wine of the immortals. After saying that, he smiled and sprinkled one of the cups in front of the grave, and drank the other cup himself. Fill it up again.

At that time, although my godfather asked me to read on the surface, he took me to play in private, catching cicadas and catching birds, and flying kites in the wind. After that, they drank another glass.

"And when Sheng'er was six years old, you blushed and said that you were interested in the girl in the next village, you thought that Sheng'er was young and ignorant of the world, but in fact, Sheng'er always remembered, but never talked about it. But since this is the case, why did the godfather never marry in his life. ”

"And the July ...... of that year"

In this way, Qiu Sheng fell deeply into the memory, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he didn't know the passage of time. During this period, the wine in the pot was finished once, and Yun Xuan added another pot, all of which Qiu Sheng didn't know.

Before he knew it, it was afternoon, and Qiu Sheng also woke up from his memories. But he never spoke again, just sat quietly in front of the grave, looking at the grave, silent, for an hour, two hours.

Two hours later, Qiu Sheng slowly stood up.

"Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother wants to go home. ”

"Go, senior brother is waiting for you here. ”

Before leaving, Qiu Sheng replaced the sword with his hand, cut off a camphor tree that was not big or small, and cut it into a tombstone, which said that the tomb of his father Wang Tian, and the unfilial son Qiu Shengli.

Back in the village, no one else knew, Qiu Sheng returned home first, and watched the yellow fallen leaves in the courtyard uncleaned, which was the autumn fallen leaves accumulated when Qiu Sheng left home to this spring. And the plane tree has also gone from a depression in autumn to a flourishing branch today.

Qiu Sheng sighed softly.

When I walked into the room, the smell of smoke and dust came to my nose, the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of ash, and the white cobwebs in the corners of the walls were wrapped in circles and circles. There is also his own study, which no longer has the smell of ink, but has some vicissitudes of time.

"Personnel books are lonely......

Picking up the broom next to the corner, it didn't use cultivation, so it was swept again and again, and the rag was picked up and wiped one by one.

Half an hour later, the entire courtyard seemed to be back to the past, but Qiu Sheng understood that something most important was missing after all.

Nowhere is there to come home......

Qiu Sheng did this just in the hope that if his parents returned early, he would find a familiar feeling and not feel unfamiliar with everything.

Next, Qiu Sheng also went to Wang Tian's house, the same mess, and he didn't use the power of cultivation to clean everything up. Similarly, Qiu Sheng just hopes that his godfather's soul can find his way home......

After sorting out everything, Qiu Sheng went to find the dog baby, and when he heard Qiu Sheng say that he was already an immortal, his face was full of incredulity, and he thought that Qiu Sheng was dreaming of immortals.

Qiu Sheng didn't explain, just smiled, explained some things later, and left. Before leaving, tell the grave of the godfather of the dog baby, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve in the future, celebrate the festival at the right time, clean up the weeds, and pay filial piety.

When he returned to the bottom of Tianyin Peak, it was already a waning day, and after coming to his godfather's grave and bowing three times, he returned to Xianyin with Yunxuan.

When they were far away, an illusory shadow appeared in place, smiling with relief......
