Chapter 15: The Challenge Three Months Later
The surname of the hall master of the Dan Medicine Hall is Xiuyuan, who has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, and has cultivated in the middle of Jindan, and is a second-grade Dan master. Because the Mochizuki Sword Sect is mainly based on sword cultivation, it is really not very good at Dan Dao, although the sect has set up a Dan Medicine Palace, but the Dan masters inside are also mainly sword cultivation, and alchemy can only be regarded as a side business. Therefore, He Xiuyuan, who is the most proficient in alchemy in sword cultivation and the highest cultivation in Dan Master, should sit in the position of hall master.
He Xiuyuan motioned for everyone to be exempted, then looked at Gu Ming and said with a smile: "At a young age, it's not bad to have this attainment in Dan Dao theory, you really only started for a month?"
Gu Ming hurriedly replied, "To be precise, the disciple is just getting started for a month and one day!"
"It's rare, it's rare!" He Xiuyuan nodded and smiled: "Since you have just started, and you only have a second-grade spiritual root, you should work harder in cultivation and practice diligently on the Dan Dao, in order to achieve something in the future, you must not be clever and compete for the advantage of your tongue at this time." β
"The hall master has taught me that the disciple has been taught!" Gu Ming was a little unhappy in his heart, but he could only slander, Nima, don't mention Lao Tzu's second-grade spiritual root.
He Xiuyuan couldn't hear Gu Ming's slander, and turned his head to signal Gou Desheng to come over.
After Gou Desheng walked up to him tremblingly, he continued to say to Gu Ming: "Desheng, this kid lost the competition, although you have an agreement, but I know that he can't take out a hundred taels of gold." I'm here today as a host, how about you change your conditions?"
Ouch, there are steps, hurry down!!
"The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple is willing to give up the gambling contract, please ask the hall master to agree!"
"Hehe, you don't have to be so refreshing, you can mention reasonable conditions. First, it is to use this to teach Desheng a lesson, and secondly, to avoid being told by outsiders and laughing at my 'shameless' Pill Palace!" He Xiuyuan's words made Gu Ming laugh a little embarrassed.
This old man still has some grudges!
Gu Ming and Mingyue exchanged glances.
"To mention it?"
"If you want to mention it, you can mention it!"
"What?"
"Whatever you want, on!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Whatever you want, you coward!"
Gu Ming was speechless, he didn't think about winning any lottery when he came, but now there is a big guy who asks him to put forward conditions, and the sky-high asking price will definitely be cut, and he really can't think of other "reasonable conditions" at once, but he still doesn't have enough cheeks!
Uh, uh, yes!
"Qiyu Hall Master, the disciple wants to get the classics that go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to see the collection of the Sword Sect, do you see if it is feasible?" Gu Ming studied Mingyue, and looked at He Xiuyuan with big eyes flickering.
After all, Lin Ziqian was a guest Danshi outside this time, and there were too few books with him, and the books in his study had already been memorized by Gu Ming, and the Mochizuki Sword Sect Library that he had coveted for a long time was not open to the public, this time he was really sleepy and met a pillow!
"Yes, I'll lend you a token that you can borrow from the sect's books. β
He Xiuyuan agreed to Gu Ming's request, but he smiled slightly and continued: "However, I have one condition. β
"What conditions?" Gu Ming was a little weak-hearted.
He Xiuyuan said slowly: "Dan Dao competes, only the theory is not a complete victory. I will give you another month to practice alchemy skills, and after three months, you and Desheng will have another alchemy competition. If you lose, the token is withdrawn! If you win, I'll give it to you officially!"
Gu Ming pondered a little in his heart, and said with a straight face: "The disciple agrees! β
Hehe, it was originally a free opportunity, even if you lose after three months, it is not a loss!
Besides, with the speed at which we read, three months is enough for me to read all the books!
Seeing that Gu Ming agreed, He Xiu smiled and smiled at the outside of the hall: "You see that my method is good, Master Ziqian!"
"Very good! I bother the hall master to bother with the affairs of the children!"
Lin Ziqian's voice came from outside the hall, and since he didn't enter the hall, his voice sounded a little ethereal.
It turns out that the master is here too!
Gu Ming's heart was hot, and he reminded himself that he couldn't weaken his master's name, and his chest was even higher!
He Xiuyuan motioned for everyone to disperse!
Gu Ming and Mingyue hurriedly said goodbye, and ran out to see that the master Lin Ziqian was already standing at the door with a smile.
"Master!" Gu Ming stepped forward and saluted his master. Lin Ziqian smiled and touched Gu Ming and Mingyue's heads, and then led the two back to their courtyard.
The three of them walked briskly to the main hall, and when the master sat down, Gu Ming immediately smiled and gave the master tea. Lin Ziqian was very satisfied with Gu Ming and Mingyue's performance today, although he didn't praise him too much, but from the way he served tea, Gu Ming could see that the master was in a good mood today.
Gu Ming was happy in his eyes, it was rare that he didn't embarrass the master this time.
Lin Ziqian tasted the tea that his disciples had served, then put the tea cup on the table, and said to Gu Ming with a light smile: "Although you won this competition, the teacher will not praise you, do you know the truth?"
The joy in Gu Ming's heart suddenly turned into apprehension, and he replied a little blankly: "The disciple doesn't understand!"
Seeing that the master was actually a little blamed, even Mingyue felt a little surprised.
"Before the teacher competition, I told you not to be embarrassed to win. You and Mingyue are good, you have to be unforgiving, and in the end you almost turned a competition into a fight. Although Lin Ziqian was not really angry, his words were very harsh.
"The disciple knows that he is wrong!" Gu Ming lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
But Mingyue next to her pouted, and said unhappily: "Master, it's obviously a small family of the Mochizuki Sword Sect, and he doesn't admit it, but my junior brother and I are maintaining the dignity of our Medicine Master Valley!"
"Nonsense!" Lin Ziqian knocked on Mingyue's head and said, "You little boys are vindictive, and you dare to move out of the dignity of the division to support the faΓ§ade, you are not big, but your tone is not small!"
Mingyue touched the place on her head that was knocked by the master, stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and whispered: "Don't hit your head, what should I do if I become stupid!"
Gu Ming wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh in front of his master.
Senior brother, even if the master's ring ruler is discounted, you can't be a little more stupid.
Lin Ziqian taught Mingyue a lesson, then turned his head to Gu Ming and said, "The teacher knows that you are very intelligent, and I don't want you to be able to speak well." Think about it, Desheng's child is simple, and it is estimated that he was provoked by you to accept your unreasonable gambling contract, right?"
Don't say it, the master guessed quite accurately!
It was really not honorable to bully children, and Gu Ming began to sweat on the top of his head!
"You're a big man. β
Seeing that Gu Ming was silent, Lin Ziqian smiled instead: "Master Wei once said that Master Dan has the most important cause and effect. Have you ever thought that yesterday you calculated that virtue would have planted this cause, so that there would be the result of chaos after today's competition? It's also because of your tongue today that you will have this result in three months!"
"The disciple knows that he is wrong!
Gu Ming felt that what the master said was very reasonable, and he did not handle this matter properly.
Seeing that his disciple's mood was a little low, Lin Ziqian's tone softened slightly: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, but all living beings in the world, all cause and effect have their own definite number, and they can't be avoided or pushed away!"
Smiling, Lin Ziqian said again: "Sowing good causes will get good results, and planting evil causes will get evil results, as long as you don't have the heart to harm others, you will naturally get God's help, turn evil into good, and turn danger into remedy." β
"Disciple remember the master's teachings!"
This time, Mingyue and Gu Ming saluted the master together.
Lin Ziqian laughed, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, and continued: "Today's matter is quite successful, but since you have promised the competition in March, you should go all out in the next March, otherwise you can be said to have no chance of winning." β
Gu Ming nodded solemnly.
Originally, he just accepted this competition with the mood that it didn't matter if he lost.
"The disciple must go all out and live up to the master's expectations. β
Gu Ming's mentality towards the competition is very good, this does not need to be explained by the master, and he also knows very well that he has no chance of winning.
The two thanked the master and withdrew from the main hall.
Mingyue immediately happily pulled Gu Ming to congratulate Gu Ming, looked at the time, and it was indeed dinner time, so she agreed to him.
For fear that the master would be unhappy, the two did not dare to be lively in their yard.
Mingyue's eyes purred, and she thought about it, pulling Gu Ming towards the Spirit Beast Hall.
Gu Ming has a black line, senior brother, what do you want to do?
It's just a celebration, what are you doing in the Spirit Beast Hall, don't do anything more, okay?
In the end, Mingyue couldn't resist it, and in the time of lamenting the unladylike encounter, the two of them had already come to a densely wooded fence in the backyard of the Spirit Beast Hall.
"Senior brother, what do you want to do?
"Shhhh
"Be a thief??Senior brother, please redeem the little brother who is in a bit of a hurry, don't go ahead first!"
Mingyue grabbed Gu Ming, who wanted to urinate, stared at him with big eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Hold on!"
"Oh!"
Mingyue began to put on makeup, saying that it was makeup, but she took out a black towel to cover her face.
looked at the black face towel that Mingyue threw to him in his hand, and then looked at Mingyue, who was already skillfully lying on the wall and looking at the situation inside.
Gu Ming has a black line, senior brother, look at you are very skilled, you have done it many times before!
"Senior brother, I'm really urgent!"
"Don't scream, don't speak. β
"Senior brother, I can't hold it back!"
"Pee your pants!"
"Senior Brother......
Gu Ming wanted to say something more, but Mingyue's extremely unfriendly eyes stopped him.
Then under Mingyue's threatening eyes, he had to cover his face with a black scarf, jumped on the wall, and met Mingyue's head, shoulder to shoulder.
Mingyue showed a satisfied look at this time, and leaned on the wall and took the initiative to introduce the situation of the Spirit Beast Garden to Gu Ming.
"I saw that there is no two-story pavilion over there, there is the main hall of the Spirit Beast Hall, by the way, the master of the Spirit Beast Hall is called Yang Shigu, and the Yuan Infant is cultivated!"
"The side room next to it is the disciple's dormitory, and the disciples of the Spirit Beast Hall are responsible for training the spirit beast!"
"The wooden house not far away is where the beast slave lives, and the beast slave is responsible for raising spirit beasts!"
"The Spirit Beast Hall of the Moon Sword Sect is not very good, the quality of the spirit beasts raised is average, and they are not very delicious! The wind rabbit smells heavy, the coyote meat is too tight, the gopher meat is too little, and the black-crowned golden pheasant is okay, but it is not very good!"
Gu Ming has a black line!
Senior brother, is the quality of spirit animals divided according to taste?
Also, you can taste the rat, your taste is so strong!
