Chapter 56: The Gambling Contract
When Tong Luoxing heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lifted Mingzhu up, relieved his acupoint, and shouted: "Thank you yet, master!"
Although Mingzhu is young, but extremely smart, just now after listening to a few words, he already knew that he had ruined the master's big thing, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's the little boy who is ignorant and reckless, and the opportunity to spoil the big master, the little boy is willing to be punished, just ask the big master not to drive me out of the view!"
After all, Xiaoyaozi is open-minded, although the epiphany was interrupted, but the chagrin can't be chased back, and he got a Taiji diagram, which is not a shallow gain, so he quickly calmed down, waved his hand and said: "Don't do your business, you go and rest, I'll ask Youzhu to get you some ointment to apply the wound in a while." ”
Mingzhu kowtowed again and again, choked up, "Thank you, master!"
Li Qiushui walked to Mingzhu's side, helped him up, took out a piece of brocade to wipe the blood and dust off his face, and said softly: "Silly boy, how can I blame you, you just did what my senior sister ordered, hurry up and rest." ”
Mingzhu's face turned red, and she muttered and thanked her, and when she retreated, she even staggered and couldn't even walk steadily, and she didn't know whether it was hurt or ashamed.
Li Qiushui's words fell on Tong Luoxing's ears, and the more she thought about it, the more awkward she felt: Didn't you say that I had ruined Master's chance! But she didn't want to quarrel with her junior sister in front of Master, so she glared at her fiercely and didn't speak. And Li Qiushui smiled back gently.
Xiaoyaozi, who was standing between the two, seemed to be completely unaware of the undercurrent around him, and his eyes looked at the floating clouds in the sky outside the window, not knowing where he had gone.
Ding Yu took in this scene and couldn't help but laugh secretly: Xiaoyaozi's three apprentices are really all superb, there are only three people in total, there are two opponents, and one is natural, no wonder the Xiaoyao faction has several great magical skills, but in the end it still declined.
At this time, Xiaoyaozi finally took his eyes off the Taiji diagram on the ground and turned to its "author".
"Little monk, can you explain the meaning of this Taiji diagram for the poor Dao?" he asked.
If you really want to say it, Ding Yu can also say some bluffing words such as "Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi", "Yin and Yang are born, Yang is born and Yin is one", but it is better to hide it than to say something that he knows little about in front of a Taoist power like Xiaoyaozi.
Therefore, Ding Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but when I was young, I saw a sloppy Taoist, and the Taoist robe on his body had this pattern, I thought it was interesting, so I asked him what it was, and he only replied that I was a Taijitu, and did not explain." ”
"Sloppy Taoist?" Xiaoyaozi asked a few words about the appearance of the Taoist, and was prevaricated by Ding Yu's nonsense, he couldn't help but sigh a few words, "There are sages in the wild, and hermit masters", and then he stared at Ding Yu with blazing eyes, and said: "Little monk, I can't hide it, this Taiji diagram has inspired me greatly, and it can't be said that it is the opportunity for me to get the Tao. I want to teach what I have learned in my life, what do you think?"
Originally, Xiaoyaozi planned to investigate Ding Yu's origin first and then consider the matter of accepting apprentices, but the Taiji diagram just now made him loosen the realm that he had not advanced in 20 years, and made him faintly see further hope. That alone was enough to make him ignore Ding Yu's origins - even if he was a spy sent by an enemy country to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty?
But contrary to Xiaoyaozi's expectations, Ding Yu actually refused!
Xiaoyaozi was stunned, but he was inevitably unhappy in his heart: In terms of martial arts, except for Murong Longcheng, no one in the world could match him; in terms of knowledge, he was excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and medical stars; in terms of status, although he did not have an official and a half-position, he obeyed his words and plans today, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a hidden minister of the Great Song Dynasty. He said that if he accepted the apprentices, even the prince of the Great Song Dynasty would rush to agree, who would have thought that he would have touched a nail on a little monk of unknown origin.
According to his temperament, he should have laughed it off, but when he thought of the mysterious Taiji diagram, he still couldn't help but ask: "Little monk, do you think that with the martial arts of the poor way, you can't be your master? Or are you not interested in martial arts? That's okay, whether you want to study literature or miscellaneous studies, there are few people in this world who can be more proficient than the poor way." ”
Ding Yu shook his head and said, "The Dao Leader thinks badly." What the little monk wants in his life is only martial arts. Among them, there are two wishes, one is to enter the Tao with martial arts and transcend the mortal world, and the other is to do the best in the world and fight for life and death. I'm afraid that the former Xiaoyaozi Daoist can't help me, but the latter, the Daoist's martial arts, can be called the pinnacle, which makes my heart break. The little monk will never miss such an opponent! But if the Taoist leader has the grace to preach and teach the Tao to me, how can I fight to the death with the Taoist leader in the future?"
Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud, and stroked his palms after laughing: "Wonderful! It turns out that the little monk also has the ambition to get rid of the dust, so although the two of us have different robes and clothes, we can also be regarded as people in the same way." And the little monk, you looked at Sven Xiu, but you didn't expect it to be a martial idiot.
It is said that I have received your Taiji diagram, and I should have agreed to your covenant to fight. It's just that now your martial arts are still too far behind, but Poor Dao doesn't know if there is a life waiting for you. In this case, let's make a bet, within a year, I will not teach you any martial arts, if you can survive a hundred moves in the hands of Wuya, I will agree to fight with you, the time is determined, if not, after a year, you must worship me as a teacher, and you must grow your hair and change into a robe. How, do you dare to bet?"
Ding Yu shook his head, his gaze crossed the cliff, and projected to Tong Luoxing, he said: "The little monk doesn't want to take advantage of this, within a year, if I can't win against her, I will be willing to admit defeat." ”
Xiaoyaozi followed Ding Yu's gaze, frowned slightly, and said, "Little monk, don't you think that Luoxing is petite and easy to deal with, but in fact, she is the strongest martial artist among my three disciples." ”
The corners of Ding Yu's mouth hooked: "I naturally know that among the three disciples of the Dao Master, she is the only one who is most like a martial artist." If it's not such an opponent, what's the point of fighting?"
Hearing Ding Yu's words, Xiaoyaozi's three apprentices were all on fire, and Li Qiushui sneered: "The little monk didn't have the courage to fight against my senior brother and said directly, why bother reversing black and white, it's really despicable." ”
Tong Luoxing also has feelings for Wu Yazi, Ding Yu said to her face that Wu Yazi's martial arts are not as good as her, she is both annoyed in her heart, and worried that Wu Yazi will have a mustard for herself because of this, she hated: "The little thief is not ashamed to speak and has no eyesight. My senior brother's martial arts are far superior to mine, but he is kind-hearted, if you are defeated in his hands, most of you will be defeated without injury, since you find me and don't let you break a dozen bones, I will call myself Tong Luoxing in vain!"
He took a step forward and said coldly: "Master Ding is talking about it, presumably his martial arts must be clever, and he is not talented, so please ask Master Ding to teach." (To be continued.) )
