Chapter 44: Apprenticeship
The wind blows from the lake, her green silk swayes, and her long skirt flutters, fluttering like a fairy.
She didn't look much older than Yin Fan, but the unusual difference between her and the few immortal elders just now, as well as the sudden punishment of that young man, all showed that she was unusual. After coming to the inner conclusion that her appearance "must be based on the Tao and profound, so let the youth permanent", Yin Fan did not dare to be presumptuous at will.
But when he saw her come up, he clicked the teacup and threw out a sentence of apprenticeship, Yin Fan was a little confused and asked, "Immortal, fairy, how to worship this?"
The woman was stunned, her brows frowned slightly, she didn't care about any rules when she accepted the other two apprentices, so she let them kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times. It's just that...... If the young man in front of her is a stunt, she will not kneel and kowtow. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, her eyes shone like wolves, and she punched her right fist into the palm of her left hand, and said "Yes" as a pleasantly surprised sentence, and said with a smile:
"That's it. ”
Then, under the curious gaze of Yin Fan and the realm spirit, she waved her hand, and a teacup with tea flew from the bamboo hut by the lake to the table. She picked up a cup of tea with her left hand and held it in her hand, and took a cup with her right hand and handed it to Yin Fan. Yin Fan took it, and then, in Yin Fan's stunned gaze, the woman's hand carrying tea passed through her arm, and she forcibly pulled him into the action of drinking a glass of wine.
The woman smiled and said, "Okay, I said one, two, three, let's drink the tea, even if the apprenticeship is successful." ”
Yin Fan was stunned, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "Fairy, this, this is the action that ordinary couples do when they drink a glass of wine." ”
The woman squinted her eyes, a charming smile crept up her face, and said, "That's a glass of wine, we are tea, it doesn't matter...... I started shouting, a ......"
Seeing that she was really going to do this, she was startled and exclaimed, "Fairy ......"
The woman ignored him and continued to count: "Two ......"
Yin Fan looked at the fairy-like figure in front of him, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "This, this ......"
The corners of the woman's mouth lifted, her eyes widened, and she shouted, "Three!"
She held the teacup and brought it to her pink lips without hesitation. Then he closed his eyes, and the whole movement began to become slow and graceful, and he raised his head and drank. Yin Fan was helpless, gritted his teeth, gave himself a comfort of "this tea is not a loss", and drank it in one go. When he removed the teacup from his lips, he found that the woman who was less than a foot away from him was still drinking tea slowly, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
When the woman opened her eyes and looked satisfied. When he found that the young man opposite had already drunk the tea, he immediately glared at him, snorted, pulled out his arm, and put the teacup on the table. Yin Fan didn't know why the woman in front of him suddenly became angry, and he didn't dare to ask, so as not to ask for hardship, so he hurriedly put the teacup on the table and stood back where he was.
The realm spirit looked at the two teacups on the table and asked the woman, "Sister Fairy, why don't I drink tea?"
The woman turned sideways to look at her face, and for a moment she was stunned, as if she had seen someone else. She shook her head slightly, and said to the realm spirit: "Little realm spirit, you don't need to apprentice, as long as you are happy every day." ”
The Realm Spirit had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Really!"
The woman smiled and nodded. Yin Fan, who could hear their conversation, was stunned and asked, "Fairy ......"
But before he could finish speaking, the woman raised her eyebrows, turned sideways and looked at him coldly. Yin Fan was startled, and then remembered that he had just worshipped his teacher, and immediately changed his words: "Master, why don't the realm spirits need to apprentice, do you want to arrange another elder in the sect for him?"
The woman was silent, quickly shook her head, changed the topic, and said, "You just came out of the Wuwei Heavenly Ladder, and after this toss, let's go inside to rest first, and I'll talk to you later." She raised her right hand and pointed to the leftmost house on the rocky shore, "That house is yours, go ahead." ”
Yin Fan had the experience of the past just now, and he didn't dare to ask again, but he just had a question in his heart, and he couldn't dispel it, so he could only forcibly suppress it and mention it later. It wasn't until she saw Yin Fan walking into the bamboo house that the woman turned around, took the hand of the realm spirit with both hands, looked at her eyes, showed a somewhat complicated expression, and said softly: "Little sister of the realm spirit, don't call the fairy sister in the future, you know?"
The realm spirit nodded vigorously, but immediately showed a puzzled look, and said, "Then I'll just call my sister." Hey, by the way, what's my sister's name?"
After straightening out her wind-blown hair, the woman looked into her eyes and said, "Sister can tell you her name, but you must not tell anyone else?"
Seeing that the realm spirit nodded vigorously, revealing a look of "I must keep it secret", a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in the depths of the woman's eyes, and she whispered: "Sister's name, it's called Yu Shixin." But when you're someone else, you're going to call your sister Zhenjing, you know?"
The realm spirit nodded vigorously again.
Bamboo huts.
"Squeak" pushes open the simple light bamboo door, and what catches your eye is a window with a bamboo strip facing outwards against the bamboo window. Looking from the window, there was some white gas floating on the sparkling surface of the lake, and further afield, beyond the rocks blocking the lake, there were several peaks towering between the clouds and mist. Behind this peak, a rainbow-like mist could be faintly seen, and I don't know what it was.
When I looked back at the room, I could only see bamboo beds, bamboo tables, bamboo stools and bamboo bookshelves made with extremely elaborate craftsmanship. The shelves were divided into four tiers, but only a yellow-brown slate was placed on the third floor. On the bamboo table, there was a blue jade lamp carved into the shape of a flower bone on the top, and when Yin Fan's eyes swept to its vicinity, it lit up with a soft and bright white light, and as soon as his eyes left, it darkened again, and Yin Fan was surprised to see it.
Being able to worship Penglai, Yin Fan was naturally full of joy. It's just that he has been running around for a long time, and the "blood replenishment" can be said to be completely insufficient, and the parasite-like blood charm is still sucking his blood every day, causing him to be seriously ischemia, and often feel dizzy and want to sleep.
This will finally be free, and when he sees the bed, he suddenly feels that his whole body is weak and his mind is dizzy. I didn't care about anything else, I took two steps and one step, laid out on the bed, and fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes. It's just that at the last moment, the figure of the master couldn't help but appear, and with the last trace of his consciousness, they sneaked into sleep together.
Under the blood-red sky in the twilight.
He stood on the bank of a gentle, but extremely wide river, surrounded by dry trees, filled with palm-sized red-eyed blackbirds. The upper reaches of the river is a sea, and in a fan-shaped area where the river and the sea meet, a ridiculously tall archway sits, and suddenly a raft is carried out slowly from between the two pillars of the archway under the support of a thin old man.
The raft sailed silently on the river, but it frightened all the red-eyed blackbirds on the banks it passed. They hovered in the sky, more and more, slowly forming a human face. The face looked exactly like that of the woman on the raft, and at first opened and closed silently, making the same shape as the woman when she cursed.
Soon, it cursed, and it grew louder and louder, eventually overpowering the woman's voice. The woman looked up and listened to the voice, her face bewildered, then frightened, and finally she clutched her head and fell on the raft and convulsed.
He stood on the shore and watched.
After a while, the raft approached. Only then did he see that at the end of the long raft, there was a three-tailed white fox only a foot long. The little fox had a panicked look on his face, and his two forelimbs were tightly clung to the end of the raft, panting for breath. Suddenly three arms stretched out in the muddy water to grab it and pull it to the bottom of the river. Its expression was even more frightened, and its small mouth let out a "babbling" sound.
But she didn't want to give up, and her forelimbs were still tightly clinging to the raft. The arm that showed out of the river retracted as it struggled, and the little fox gasped for breath again, as it had done before.
So that's the case, wasn't he brought by Hades and came in by chance?
Thinking so, he stretched out his right hand as the raft passed by, making a false scratch gesture to the fox. The little fox was carried out of the river by a force and flew into his arms. The little fox looked up at him, blinked tiredly, and soon closed it, curled up in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
He turned, hugged the little white fox, and went deep into the woods.
"Hula" A huge wave sounded, and Yin Fan couldn't help but open his eyes. With a dazzling stab, he closed it again and hurriedly covered his eyes with his right hand. It was already night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone in his eyes, piercing his eyes.
He sat up from his bed and looked out the window.
With a faint fragrance blowing from the surface of the lake, Yin Fan took a deep breath, and the residual sleepiness left after waking up from his sleep disappeared.
"Huh?"
In the bright moonlight, countless fresh lotus leaves, three lotus flowers and dozens of lotus flowers grew out of the lake. The lotus seeds in the lotus canopy shimmer like a rainbow of light under the night sky. Immediately after, three pink, white, and yellow lotus flowers opened, and from inside flew elves with slender wings of the same color as their lotus flowers. The three elves stretched their waists in the air, and then flew together, talking happily, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad and wiping tears, and Yin Fan's eyes widened when he saw it.
At this moment, the door of Yin Fan's bamboo house creaked open, and Yu Shixin, who was wearing a white dress, looked at him and said with a smile: "Good boy, get up and work." ”
When they came to the yard, the "buns" circled around and chased the tail of the previous bun, and they were actually playing with themselves. Seeing that Yu Shixin was coming, the "buns" immediately stopped, jumped to the middle with a grunt, and gathered into a super big "bun". Then the big "bun" jumped into the lake and turned into a large white square with a tail, like a square raft.
"Let's go. ”
Yu Shixin walked to the shore and jumped lightly onto it. After Yin Fan was stunned for a moment, he also jumped up with Yu Shi's heart. Seeing that this bun was so useful, Yin Fan asked cautiously: "Master, what is this 'bun', it feels so powerful...... Ahh
Yu Shixin didn't know when there was an extra ring ruler on her right hand, hitting Yin Fan's forehead, she glared at Yin Fan, and said dissatisfiedly: "What bun, this is the 'wood spirit' that your master and I spent hundreds of years to raise, in the future, you will admit such a precious thing wrongly, and you are embarrassed to say that it is my apprentice!"
Yin Fan covered his forehead, thinking that he was bullying the world spirits on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be turned over in an instant, with a wry smile on his face. Suddenly, a question came to mind, and he said, "Master, I don't even know your name yet!"
Yu Shixin threw the ring ruler casually, and it turned into a cloud of mist in the air and dispersed. She clapped her hands and said, "That's right." Come, let's get our master and apprentice from the registration number. Come first, good boy. ”
"......" Yin Fan scratched his head, saluted respectfully to Yu Shixin, and said, "...... in vain."
"Huh?"
The corners of Yu Shixin's mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were burning, and Yin Fan's whole body was hairy, and she said slowly in a soft voice: "Good boy, I'll give you another chance." If you don't tell the truth, I'll throw you into this lake. ”
When he heard the sound of his master's "um", Yin Fan was shocked all over, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant, but after some inner struggle, after the battle between heaven and man, he finally sighed and saluted:
"Apprentice Yin Fan, meet the master. ”
