Two hundred and seventy-seven times: a good master and a good apprentice
When the samurai saw that the child was so sensible and polite, he liked it even more. After the master-apprentice ceremony, he stepped forward and lifted the child's hands up, and when he saw that the child was very handsome, he liked it even more in his heart, so he said happily: "Child, Lan Caihe, my apprentice, from now on, we will be masters and apprentices, but the master accepts you, and you still have to obtain the consent of your parents, can you lead me to meet your parents?"
Hearing the master say this, Lan Caihe immediately lost his spirit on his face, and said, "Master, my family is very poor, and my family will not be able to afford the tuition." So saying, he cried and said, "What should I do?"
The warrior was moved by Lan Caihe's crying, and said: "Lan Caihe, my sensible apprentice, how about this teacher not charging you tuition? This master was passing by here today, so he can see you accepting you as an apprentice, and this master accepts you as an apprentice is to see that you practice diligently and diligently, and you are talented, so I can't bear to see you go astray, so I accept you as an apprentice to guide you, these, my apprentice, don't be afraid, this teacher doesn't charge you a penny, okay? Now you can take me to meet your parents with confidence, right?"
The child wiped his tears and said: "The master's teachings, Lan Caihe will never forget, in the future, Lan Caihe grows up, has money, must repay the master's teachings, Lan Caihe will never forget the master's teachings and teachings, and will treat the master as his father for the rest of his life." ”
The samurai was very moved by what the child said, and said, "Good boy, the master has the eyesight today, and he has accepted you here, a sensible apprentice who has been known since childhood, apprentice, in this case, you can take me to meet your parents with confidence, right?"
Lan Caihe said: "Master, please come with me." ”
So, the boy led the samurai to meet the child's parents.
After meeting, as soon as the samurai saw Lan Caihe's parents, and saw that this was a couple who seemed to be very honest and honest to the poor people, he first explained his intentions and said: "Are you the parents of the children? I passed by here today, and saw your children Lan Caihe practicing martial arts so hard, but unfortunately there was no one to guide me, so I want to take your children as apprentices, from now on, I will personally teach your children to learn skills, I don't know what your parents want?"
Lan Caihe's mother was very happy when she heard this, and immediately said happily: "Master, thank you so much, I know that my child has to practice martial arts every day, and he will definitely have a good future, but I didn't expect to meet the master today, and the master is willing to accept my child as an apprentice, which is really happy, and we are so grateful." ”
Lan Caihe's father saw that the child was so happy, and when he saw his wife also say such things, he felt sorry in his heart: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's just buy four points of our eight-point land, let's live a harder life in the future, so that it can be sold for money, although it is not much, it is also good to give the master a little tuition money." ”
When the samurai saw that their families were indeed very poor, and that they were very sensible, he was very touched and said, " I didn't expect that I met the best apprentice in my life here today, and I met the parents of the best apprentice here today, just for this point, I am willing to accept your children as apprentices today, without taking a penny, two parents, you must not see outside, don't let my children as apprentices, make your already very difficult days even more difficult, if so, how can you let my apprentices learn skills with peace of mind? How can you let me teach your children to learn skills with peace of mind? In that case, my heart will be uneasy all the time, and my heart will always be concerned about your life, and a big pimple will appear in my heart, and I will always think that you have bought four cents of land because of the money you have given me, and it will become more difficult from this, so that you can not let me and your son live in anxiety every day? In that case, how can I continue to teach? How can your son continue to learn? Therefore I beseech you not to do this, but I will take your heart, so that I will be happier than you have given me, so that my heart will be at peace. ”
Lan Caihe's parents were moved to tears by what he said, and the couple knelt down for the samurai at once, and said with tears in their eyes: "Good man, master, you are really a good person, our child, today to be able to meet a good person like the master as a master, it is really a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life, we thank the master in advance on behalf of our children." As he spoke, he bowed to his master.
At this time, I saw Lan Caihe crying and kneeling on the ground, covering his face with two small hands, looking very sad crying.
When Lan Caihe's parents and the samurai saw it, they couldn't help but be blinded by Lan Caihe's crying, and the samurai came up to help Lan Caihe, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Disciple, why are you crying so sadly? Tell the teacher, don't be so sad, what is it that suddenly makes my apprentice cry so sad?"
Lan Caihe cried and said: "Lan Caihe didn't expect to meet such a master, Lan Caihe didn't expect my father and mother to be like this today for me, the heart of the world is nothing more than the heart of my parents and the heart of the master, these, let Lan Caihe feel uncomfortable, how can I not let Lan Caihe not cry?"
The samurai said: "My sensible and sensible apprentice, I met you today as a teacher, and I met such a good family of you today, this is also the fate of our cultivation in that life, apprentice, don't be sad, treat you as your own child for the teacher." ”
Lan Caihe said with tears in his eyes: "Master, Lan Caihe also treats the master as a father. ”
Lan Caihe's words moved the master so much, and he said again and again: "Good apprentice, well said, the master will be happy and content with this sentence." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Lan Caihe's parents up separately and said movingly: " Your family is really a good person, I have opened a martial arts hall in the town in front of me now, the name of the martial arts hall is Laixian Martial Arts Hall, tomorrow, you will send your children there, I will wait for you there, you have to remember, after you go, don't bring anything, just lead your children, if you bring one more thing, I will be angry, you must not make me angry, you are also some kind people, you can let me see three good hearts today, such a gift is better than anything else, and it is more valuable than anything else, so I implore you to take such a most precious gift and don't let other things pollute it, and don't change itIf it changes, I say that I will never take your son again, so I ask you to remember my words, can you all remember it?"
Lan Caihe's parents were moved by tears and said gratefully: "Master, we all remember, we met a good person like Master today, we really don't know what to say." ”
The master said: "You can remember to do what I say, as long as you can do it, you don't have to say anything." ”
Lan Caihe's parents cried gratefully: "We all remember, master, your great kindness, we will never forget." ”
The master was also moved and said: "Okay, since you have all agreed, let your children be my apprentices, then let's just agree, tomorrow, I will wait for you in the martial arts hall to give me your children, I want to pass on my skills to good apprentices like your children, in this way, I am already a lot of people now, if I die again that day, I will have no regrets." ”
The master's words, Lan Caihe's parents were even more uncomfortable, and Lan Caihe's mother wept: "A kind person like the master will definitely live a long life."
Samurai said: "Then let's do it today, I still have something to do today, so I passed by here, I'm leaving, just say okay, I'll wait for you in the martial arts hall tomorrow." ”
Lan Caihe's father said: "The master is here, and he is about to leave before he enters the door to drink a sip of water, master, please go home and rest for a while." ”
The master said: "No, I have received your wishes, but I do have something to do in a hurry today, so let's go here today, and when the ** people go to my martial arts hall to send your children, at that time, I have time, let's sit down and talk about it." ”
Lan Caihe's father said: "In this case, I'm really embarrassed, it's really embarrassing, the master came to the door, but the master didn't even drink a sip of water." ”
The master said: "Okay, don't see outside, since we have decided like this, then I will leave first." ”
With that, the master said goodbye to Lan Caihe's parents, and Lan Caihe also said goodbye to the master in tears, and kept chasing the master to send him far before coming back.
On the second day, Lan Caihe's parents went to the town to send Lan Caihe. When they came to the town, they went to inquire about the Xianwu Pavilion, but they also heard about an apprentice who came to the Xianwu Pavilion, who is this apprentice, this is also a natural fate, this apprentice is not someone else, it is the later Uncle Cao Guo, this apprentice's surname is Cao Mingyuan, this Cao Mingyuan is extremely rich in the town, and is the son of Cao Laofei, the rich man in the town. Could it be that a poor person like you also wants to enter the Immortal Martial Arts Pavilion? Can you have the money to come to our martial arts hall to learn martial arts? Do you think that you don't need money to learn martial arts? Daydreaming, it is clear that you don't know how high the sky is. ”
