Chapter 16: Obstruction of Apprenticeship (II)
There was silence in the hall.
On the altar in front of the stone statue, the lit incense candles burned silently, and wisps of light smoke floated up.
Everyone in the hall quietly looked at the scene in front of them, thinking about it.
The disciples of the Shelter Hall on both sides of the side mostly made eye contact, and their eyes revealed schadenfreude, and they were secretly glad that it was not themselves who angered the master, otherwise, looking at the master's current anger, I am afraid that they have the heart to kill.
That's true, the head of the Shelter Hall lying on the sandalwood chair is named Wan Cangtian, who is the senior brother of the crazy old man, that is, the senior brother of the absolute god, and he is a person with a very small heart. As a result, this Ten Thousand Heavenly Cultivation made rapid progress, leaving all the brothers and sisters of the same sect far behind, including the absolute madness and old madness when they were young.
However, in this path of cultivation, at the beginning, it is all about talent, and the more you go on, the more you need to be open-minded and tolerant. Because of this, Wan Cangtian, who has a very small heart, began to cultivate the Tao by leaps and bounds, but the further he went, the more he stopped, until the crazy old man with worse qualifications than him made a name for himself in the world and was called "the absolute god" by the world, Wan Cangtian was also disheartened, and he didn't want to wander in the world, so he chose to take over the Shelter Hall from the master, and began the road of receiving apprentices to pass on his art. It's just two hundred years later, and the Shelter Temple, which was originally declared to rise, has gradually decayed with the news of the death of the "Absolute God" in battle.
Wan Cangtian drooped the old face of the flesh, and the more he looked at the kid in front of him, the more angry he became.
Have you ever seen someone who wants to apprentice to a teacher, but he doesn't show up for a long time, and the master waits for a day?
Wan Cangtian was furious in his heart, and said in his heart: Just wait for a day, just give the old man a little face, but the most annoying thing is that this kid is obviously late, but he has no remorse, and he grins and snickers, is this challenging the old man? Strange, the more I look at this kid, the more he looks like the absolute god of the year, the same as obviously he has no ability, but he still looks like no one in his eyes, which is really angry old man. Let's see how you apprentice, huh!
Zhao Hong, who was standing under Wan Cangtian, smiled evilly, and was very happy in his heart: Finally, I let out this breath and ask you stinky boy to sue me, so that I will never see that fairy-like Butterfly sister again, see how I treat you today! Hehe......
In the middle of the main hall, Ling Jian's forehead, who was kneeling in front of Mo Ran, was covered with cold sweat, and he blamed Mo Ran very much in his heart, this kid really didn't want to die, the speed of kneeling and walking was okay at the beginning, but the slower it was later, and the last few stone steps, he simply didn't go, and he rested for a long time before he moved, looking at the master's face, I was afraid that he would not guide him again in this life
Ling Jian's fat face was full of sadness, and he looked back at Mo Ran, who was kneeling behind him, but seeing him smiling, he didn't have the slightest worry or fear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mo Ran smiled, with a pair of deep and powerful eyes, and looked at the sky sitting in the sandalwood chair without the slightest fear.
There was silence in the hall,
Finally, the muscles on Wan Cangtian's face moved, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said coldly: "You junior, could it be that you were recommended by the old man of the absolute god, so you can have no one in your eyes and no respect for the teacher?"
Before Mo Ran and Ling Jian could speak, Zhao Hong, who was standing in front of Wangcangtian, preemptively said: "Master is angry, Senior Brother Mo can't help himself, the stone steps up the mountain are too steep, although Senior Brother Mo is strong and strong, but after all, it has only been more than a month since he woke up, so he walked a little slower, please Master don't punish Senior Brother Mo too much......"
Ling Jian's lungs were about to explode when he heard it, this Zhao Hong was really insidious, and what he said seemed to be a plea for Mo Ran, but there was not a word between the lines that did not remind the master to be angry. The stone steps are too steep? Mo Ran is strong and strong? He has been awake for more than a month? And he walked a little slower, but he didn't say a word about kneeling, which is simply reminding Master that Mo Ran has been awake for more than a month, and he has recovered to be strong and strong, but he is deliberately rubbing on the stone steps path, please don't punish too much, the implication is that it will definitely not work without punishment. I'm afraid that this time Mo Ran is really inescapable.
Wan Cangtian's face was furious when he heard this, and he lined up on the armrest of the sandalwood chair with one palm, and said sharply: "Okay, you boy, the old man agreed to accept you as an apprentice because he saw the face of the dead old man of the gods, and you dare to tease the old man? I don't think you want to worship the old man as a teacher at all, yes or no?"
The deathly silence of the hall,
On the top of the main hall, a group of disciples who had originally watched the excitement lowered their heads in unison, for fear that this matter would involve them, and they had never seen the master so angry.
Ling Jian's cold sweat almost soaked his whole body, and the head buried in the ground buckled harder, and inadvertently, seeing Mo Ran behind him still smiling, he suddenly wondered in his heart, is this kid stupid? Or did he really think of a countermeasure?
Mo Ran looked back at Wan Cangtian's angry eyes and replied lightly:
"Yes!"
This sound was like a thunderous sound, breaking the dead silence.
"What?"
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the main hall, no one expected Mo Ran to say such an answer, but after saying it from Mo Ran's mouth, the disciples standing sideways on both sides of the main hall were all surprised, and even Zhao Ji, who was embarrassed by Mo Ran before, looked at Mo Ran in disbelief, only Zhao Hong, who was standing in front of Wan Cangtian, looked surprised, and suddenly returned to the kind of bad smile he had before, as if he was laughing at Mo Ran.
And Ling Jian, who was kneeling in front of Mo Ran, looked at the laughing figure in a state of astonishment, and said nothing.
Wan Cangtian's eyes flashed with anger, as if he was about to attack, but suddenly his face turned cold, he squinted at Mo Ran, and said, "For the sake of the face of the old man, I will give you another chance, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"
There was silence in the hall again, only Mo Ran's clear and firm voice:
"I don't want to!"
This time, the people in the main hall were even more surprised, and they all looked at this figure with an angry face, imagining his consequences.
He slapped the master nakedly, and dared to say stupid things in front of the master for the second time that he didn't want to apprentice to the master, and he was really finished this time.
Wan Cangtian's face flickered brightly and darkly, he took over the Shelter Hall for 200 years, although the reputation of the Shelter Hall has decayed, and it is no longer as majestic as it was back then, but the disciples he has taught are also innumerable, and he has never encountered such a thorn that dares to confront himself in person, although it is annoying, but it is also unprecedentedly unique. After carefully looking at Mo Ran again, his eyes stayed on Mo Ran's faintly bleeding knees, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, and asked coldly at the moment: "Since you have no intention of worshiping the old man as a teacher, why do you kneel down the hundreds of steps and never use a single point of mana?"
Mo Ran, who had been smiling, suddenly looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "The disciple is not offending the master, it's just that the disciple has worshiped the god predecessor as a teacher many years ago, so he contradicted the head master, and please calm the anger!"
Wan Cangtian sighed in his heart, a good seedling was preempted by the old man of the absolute god again, hey!
"In that case, then you can go down the mountain!" Wan Cangtian said lightly.
Mo Ran suddenly kowtowed vigorously and said: "Before leaving, Master Absolute God told his disciples that the master of the sect is profound, his cultivation is unpredictable, and he is a master who is not born, so the disciple is willing to ask the master to teach the disciple, and the disciple must cultivate hard to revive the majesty of the master." β
Mo Ran secretly snickered in his heart, thousands of clothes, no sycophants, I see how you are still angry. In this way, I don't have to worship you as a teacher, and I can learn the Dim Sum Method from you, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Wan Cangtian had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he thought that this kid was a thorn, because of the face of the absolute god, he was not good at bullying him, thinking that he hurriedly passed the apprenticeship and took him under the door and stopped asking, but he didn't expect that the old man of the absolute god would praise the old man so much, hehe......
Wan Cangtian was happy to be slapped by Mo Ran's sycophant, and he was happy in his heart at the moment, but his face was tense, and he said lightly: "It turned out to be the apprentice of the Absolute God Brother, since the Absolute God Junior Brother has something to go out, and he asked you to study with the old man, then the old man will give you a guide or two, and how much you can understand depends on yourself." β
As soon as these words came out, the disciples in the hall who originally sympathized with Mo Ran all showed expressions of envy and confusion at the same time, this kid was obviously here to be punished, how could he turn things upside down and get the favor of the master in a few words? Even Zhao Hong, who had been waiting to see Mo Ran's jokes, was stunned in place, with a faint trace of envy on his face. Although he is Wan Cangtian's nephew, but this Wan Cangtian has always had a strange temper, he is in a good mood, so he will guide his disciples to practice, and if he is in a bad mood, he doesn't care if you are a nephew or a son, he doesn't look at it, for so many years, Zhao Hong has just used his nephew's identity to bully other disciples in Haven Mountain, but he hasn't gotten Wan Cangtian's personal inheritance.
Mo Ran made a respectful look and said, "Thank you for the grace of the head master, the disciple still has a matter and wants to report it to the head master." β
Wan Cangtian was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"
The corners of Mo Ran's mouth curled slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Hong, who was staring at him with hatred on his face, rolled his eyes, and said: "The disciple knelt down from the stone steps of hundreds of steps today, and suddenly found that using the method of 'absorbing qi and transforming power' to increase his physical strength, kneeling from the mountain to the top of the mountain, can enhance the body's endurance and stimulate the potential in the body, so it is recommended that the master of the sect promote this method, so that every senior brother can speed up the progress of cultivation and revitalize the majesty of the sect as soon as possible." β
When Zhao Hong heard Mo Ran's suggestion, his face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Master, this matter is all overβ"
"Approved!"
Wan Cangtian shouted loudly, and actually interrupted Zhao Hong and approved Mo Ran's suggestion.
Zhao Hong's hatred will be swallowed hard for the words that he has time to say, he couldn't have imagined that Wan Cangtian has always been lazy, and he has always been indifferent to the disciples in the door, why did he change his temper today and actually approved this kid's suggestion.
In fact, Wan Cangtian was indifferent and ignored the disciples in the sect, not because he had no ambitions, but because Wan Cangtian had a lot of ability, but he couldn't find a genius to teach. Coincidentally, after this Mo Ran was possessed by the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, he reshaped the body of the genius of Tianzhong, and slapped Wan Cangtian's sycophant, or through the mouth of the absolute god, Wan Cangtian has always been pretentious, his talent is much higher than that of the absolute god, but his reputation is less than one-tenth of the absolute god, and he was already jealous of the absolute god, and today he learned from Mo Ran's mouth that the absolute god appreciates himself so much, and found that Mo Ran is talented and intelligent, and there is a comparison with your own, the long-extinguished pride in my heart was rekindled, and I was happy, so I approved Mo Ran's suggestion.
Mo Ran was secretly happy in his heart, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master Master!"
Mo Ran squeezed his eyebrows at Ling Jian, who was already stunned when he knelt in front of him, and glanced at Zhao Hongyan, who looked unwilling, and whispered beside Ling Jian: "Look at how I treat them tomorrow and be angry for you." β
Ling Jian only felt that today's events were like a dream, and this guy in front of him turned the originally severe punishment into a reward in a daze, and it seemed that he should not suffer a loss if he followed him.
