Chapter 37: The Apprentice
Su Bai originally wanted to go to the Fengyun Pavilion for a while, but when he thought about the appearance of the disciples of the Fengyun Pavilion, he lost interest, so he gave up and continued to go west. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A day and a night hurried away, and between the turn of the day, Su Bai had already traveled through two prefectures and seven counties, and had seen many things during the period, but in the final analysis, mortals were too weak to reverse their fate and rise up to resist. The root of everything lies in the mortals themselves, if they do not change their views on the world and themselves, mortals will never be able to turn over, they can only be blindly oppressed, and they will never be able to raise their heads.
Tianhe Mansion, two thousand miles away from Zhengyang Mansion, Su Bai walked forward every day, or took the passerby's hitchhiker, stopped and walked, walked and stopped, it took two whole months from Zhengyang Mansion to Tianhe Mansion, but he had no intention of hurrying, only as a tour of the mountains and rivers, in a different mood.
Now it is early winter, the cold wind is blowing, the grass and trees are withering, the earth is dry, and the ordinary people have long been covered by cotton clothes, and they can't wait to wrap themselves in the quilt and never come out, so they are not afraid of the days when the north wind is howling in this cold winter.
But people always have to work, always eat and drink, do not work for a day and have no cooking for three days, and in order to survive, even if they stare at the cold wind of hunting, they have to go out to find a livelihood.
Su Bai is still wearing the light cyan clothes, he looks polite and polite, he is a talented man, he is a literati, and his body is full of literati atmosphere, but no one doubts his origin, but his thin clothes on the street have attracted a lot of strange eyes.
Some people say that he is stupid, he wears thin clothes in winter, and he is not afraid of freezing and getting sick.
Some people also said that he had failed the imperial examination, that he was angry and that he was already a fool.
In short, many kinds of sayings come from the mouths of many kinds of people, and people think differently when they think.
The words of these people naturally fell into Su Bai's ears, and he took them all as the wind in his ears, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
However, during this period, there was a child who looked like a seven or eight-year-old who was very curious, and followed Su Bai from the street to the alley.
Su Bai hid in an alley and hid, the child looked puzzled in the box for a long time but did not find Su Bai, just when he was lost, he saw a graceful and thinly dressed literati standing at the entrance of the alley, he immediately had a bright face and smiled.
"Stinky boy, why do you keep following me. Su Bai also made a smile.
"I want to worship you as a teacher, please teach me the immortal method!" The child opened a pair of big shining eyes and looked directly at Su Bai, his eyes full of sincere pleading.
It was a boy in slightly shabby clothes, with small hands purple and red cheeks.
Su Bai's dark luck vitality, although it is not as warm and radiant as the Five Elements Fire Vitality, but this trace of vitality may be warmer than a furnace for the boy, he can't see it, but he can feel that the temperature around him is slowly changing, and it doesn't seem to be so cold.
"I'm not an immortal, how can I teach you immortal methods?" Su Bai smiled slightly and asked.
"You're a god, I know!" said the boy, rightly.
"How do you know?" asked Su Bai.
"They don't feel warm when they wear cotton clothes in winter, and you can't see a little cold in autumn clothes, and you have a hot air around you, but it's warm, you say you're not a fairy, I don't believe it!" The boy's eyes were innocent, and every word he said was true, without the slightest embellishment, all from the heart, the most simple language, and the most undoubted words.
The original intention of people is good, and those who are evil and evil, those who are cruel and unscrupulous are all infected by the dust and filth of the later generations, and gradually lose themselves and forget their hearts.
"Hehe!" Su Bai smiled happily and looked at the smart child in front of him: "Then let me ask you, why do you want to learn the immortal law." ”
Along the way, many children followed the strange eyes of those adults to see Su Bai, when Su Bai was a fool and insulted, but this boy was different from others, he saw something else from the difference that Su Bai performed, which showed that he was different, and that insight was a rare talent whether it was practicing martial arts or cultivating immortal dao.
Some people may not be able to enter the hall to practice the immortal path in their entire life, and some people can break through the bottleneck by mistake and move forward, this is the talent, whether a person cultivates the immortal or cultivates the Tao, or lives an ordinary life, the lives of two people with insight and without insight are completely different, one is wonderful, and the other is mediocre.
"If I learn the fairy method, I can cure my mother's illness, help my father work more, and let my father suffer less. The boy said two simple words, but the listener was shocked.
"It's as simple as that? You learn the immortal method just to cure your mother's illness, just to help your father do more work? Nothing else?" Su Bai looked at this seven or eight-year-old child in disbelief, this age that should have infinite reverie is supposed to be imaginative, but what he thinks of is just a little bit in this family, which makes people feel compassion and feel distressed.
"And ......" The child thought for a while, he frowned, and his expression was firm: "And don't let those bad people bully my father, they have come to the house to smash it several times, and said that they would sell me to them to pay off the debt, my father knelt down and begged them, and they reluctantly agreed, saying that they would really sell me if they didn't pay back the money next time." ”
"Then what should you do if you don't meet me and they come to your house to arrest and sell you again?" asked Su Bai.
"Of course it's running away, I'm sneaking away when they're not looking, and then I'm coming back to my parents, they're all bad people, I don't want to live with them for the rest of my life, and then become a big bad guy like them. The boy's innocent eyes looked at Su Bai all the time, very pleasing, and what he said was also pleasant, there was no gap between such ages, as if he had become younger with this child.
"It's okay for me to take you as an apprentice, but I have to get the consent of your parents, as long as they nod, I can teach you the immortal method. Su Bai said with a pale face.
"Okay, yes, I have a master, I have a master!" the boy jumped and jumped happily.
"Let's go, take me to your house first, I want to see your parents!" The boy heard Su Bai say, and hurriedly dragged his hand and ran out of the alley, trotting all the way to a dilapidated small courtyard in the northwest corner of the city, where the houses were dilapidated, and there were not many things at home, whether it was tables, chairs, benches, or brooms sweeping the floor, they were all in tatters, and some iron tools were extremely rare at home.
The boy's name is Zhengyang, his father's name is Zheng Youfu, and his mother Li is bedridden, but it is Zheng Youfu who helps him sit up.
Hearing that his child was going to worship an immortal as a teacher, Li was excited: "The immortal is on top, and the little people are too sick to get out of bed to give gifts, and please forgive me." ”
This Li is knowledgeable, not like a woman from an ordinary family, but like a lady who waits for everyone, showing generosity in her gestures.
"I'm not an immortal, but I practice a little Taoism, and I have a little bit of Taoism, but Zhengyang is very intelligent, insightful, and does have the talent to cultivate immortals, he chased me a few streets and wanted to worship me as a teacher, I came with him to ask the opinions of the two parents. Su Bai was polite, he didn't put on a show of any fairy characters, he looked arrogant of everything, his speech and demeanor were almost the same as ordinary people, which made Zhengyang's parents feel a little more intimate.
"It's already a great blessing that the immortal chief doesn't think that Yang'er is from a poor background, and our husband and wife can't ask for it, so how can we object. Li smiled, but his pale face made people worry.
"That's very good!" Su Bai smiled slightly, looking at the Li family: "Although I have not officially accepted Zhengyang as an apprentice now, but the relationship between master and apprentice has been established, although I practice the Immortal Dao, but I also start from the mortal womb of the flesh, I am his master, and you will be dealt with by the same generation, it is also human nature, if my brother and sister-in-law are willing, I may be able to eliminate this lesion for you." ”
As soon as Su Bai saw the Li family, he had already seen the clues, but without permission, he used his vitality to treat him, but this was not done by a gentleman, it was just used on a woman, which was even more inappropriate.
"Immortal Chief, how can we afford it!" Hearing Su Bai call her brother and sister-in-law, the Li family was flattered, where did he dare to take on this title.
"Let's not talk about anything else, wait until I look at the root of this disease for my brother and sister-in-law. Saying that, Su Bai secretly lucked his vitality, walked through the blood veins around the Li family, and ran for a week, but found something: "My brother and sister-in-law's illness is not overnight, but a stubborn disease accumulated over time, although I don't know medical skills, but treating diseases with vitality is more effective than any herb." ”
Li's body is cold, his body is weak and weak, and he is dizzy and weak when he encounters the wind and cold, which is a direct manifestation of the lack of fire in the five elements. According to Lang Zhong, the body is weak and needs tonic, and the tonic is mostly yang, which is a fire drug, but those drugs are scattered into the human body, and the human body wants to absorb it is not a day's work.
But if it is an immortal Dao figure who injects vitality into the patient's body, it is thousands of times better than those medicinal materials, and it is the most direct.
In particular, the monks in the realm of the five elements of yin and yang directly injected the five elements of fire vitality into the Li family's body, and repeated the rotation, and they could fully recover in three days at most.
And Su Bai only has a double qi induction realm, he can only guide the vitality into Li's body, and gradually eradicate the stubborn disease for her, according to her condition, at most three or five months, and at least more than a month to recover.
Just now, Su Bai was running in her body with his vitality for a week, and Li's complexion immediately improved, and there was already a slight red light, not as if his face was full of frost just now, which made people worry.
Just when the whole family was happy, there was a noise outside the house, and there were more and more people listening to the sound, the voice was rough and heroic, shouting and smashing outside the door, which made people frightened.
"Oh no, Master, those bad guys are here again, they must be going to arrest me and sell me!"
