Chapter 20 Don't knock your head in vain
As soon as Yang Guo returned to the mountain from the ancient tomb, he saw Zhao Zhijing hurrying towards him, and when he saw him, he asked: "Where have you been? I'm looking for you up and down in the sect!"
Yang Guo saw Zhao Zhijing's angry face, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, his cheap master ignored him for most of the year, when did he become so concerned about him?
Although the relationship between him and Zhao Zhijing was cold in the past, he always maintained a clear respect for Zhao Zhijing, no matter what, Zhao Zhijing is still his nominal master, and he can't be too rude, so as not to provoke criticism. But since Xiaojiao, Zhao Zhijing didn't have a good face when he saw him, and what he said was either cynical or with a gun and a stick, which was full of meaning. Although he was disgusted in his heart, he couldn't speak outright, and he could only suffer it every time. After five times, he accumulated a stomach of anger, this feeling of sticking a hot face to a cold ass really made him feel uncomfortable, he didn't have a habit of looking for abuse.
Neither wants to be hypocritical, but looks at Zhao Zhijing's disgusting face all day long, and can't be suspected of disobedience, so as to avoid Zhao Zhijing taking the opportunity to play and physically punish him, how should he deal with such a contradictory thing?
Yang Guo racked his brains and couldn't come up with a comprehensive solution, and in the end, he couldn't think of it, so he had to adopt the most effective strategy -- Lao Tzu can't afford to provoke you, can't you still hide? Since then, Yang Guo has been hiding far away when he sees Zhao Zhijing, so that Zhao Zhijing has no chance to send out even if he has a fire. But this time, Yang Guo was thinking about the ancient tomb in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, so he was found by Zhao Zhijing. This can be regarded as Zhao Zhijing's luck, otherwise, he would have to find it.
Yang Guo saw that Zhao Zhijing was angry, and he gloated a little in his heart, and replied with an innocent face: "The disciple didn't go anywhere either? After dinner, he was a little supportive, so he walked around the mountains, admired the flowers and looked at the trees, speaking of which, the scenery on this mountain is still quite good, and he was in a happy mood after visiting a circle!"
Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, where are the flowers in this cold winter? There are many trees, but one by one is cleaner than a beggar's pocket, and there is a fart scene? This little rabbit cub dares to perfunctory in front of him, and he will definitely find an opportunity to beat him again in the future! He secretly cursed Yang Guo in his heart, but there was still an urgent matter at this time, so he could only let it go for the time being, and reprimanded with anger: "If you go out again in the future, report it to me in advance, and if you dare to run around without permission, you will be punished heavily!" Now you come with me, Qiu Zhangjiao has something to ask you!"
A few months ago, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi went down the mountain together to deal with Li Mochou, and did not return to the church until the second day after Xiaobi. But in the next few days, Qiu Chuji didn't say that he would summon him, so what is the matter with being in a hurry to see him today, on the occasion of this New Year's Day?
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and rushed to the gate of Chongyang Palace as quickly as possible. In the past six months, Yang Guo has already stepped on the threshold of Chongyang Palace, and he has been calm about entering Chongyang Palace, which makes other disciples feel extremely honored, and his face is not shocked.
The Taoist boy guarding the gate of the Dao Palace had already changed, and Yang Guo saw that he was not an acquaintance, and he did not come forward to talk, and stood on the side without saying a word. Zhao Zhijing stepped forward and bowed his hand slightly, and said, "Please go in and say to the master, and say that the disciple Zhao Zhijing asks to see." That Dao Tong glanced at Yang Guo with some curiosity, and then entered the hall to report.
The sky is dark, and the bright candles have been lit in the hall, but because the main hall is empty, and there are very few bright candles, many places still appear dim and unknown.
In the main hall, there are two Taoist priests sitting on a high level. The Taoist priest on the left seat has oblique eyebrows and big ears, but the Taoist priest on the right is fat and tall, with an extremely long face. The former is Changchun Zhenren Qiu, and the latter is Guangning Zhenren Hao Datong.
The two were gossiping, only to hear Qiu Chuji say: "Senior Brother Hao, you just said that you have made a lot of progress in the past six months, but is it true?" Hao Datong nodded and said: "Although Guo'er's master is Zhijing, his martial arts have been taught by Senior Brother Ma himself in the past six months. ”
After Qiu Chuji returned to the faction, he took over Hao Datong's position, and he was very busy inside and out, and he remembered that he hadn't seen Yang for a long time when he was free today, so he ordered Dao Tong to call Yang Guo. But when Dao Tong was ordered to go to find someone, Yang Guo was not in the room, and asked several disciples in the sect, but they didn't know where Yang Guo was. Daotong had no choice but to return in vain and reported the matter to Qiu Chuji.
Qiu Chuji thought that Yang Guo was going out to play, so he summoned Zhao Zhijing again and ordered him to look around in the sect. During this period of time in between, it happened that Hao Datong came and had something to discuss with Qiu Chuji, and after the two finished their discussion, Qiu Chuji casually asked Yang Guo about the progress of his martial arts.
Hearing Hao Datong say that Yang had laid a solid foundation in half a year, Qiu Chuji couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and sighed: "It seems that in the matter of teaching apprentices to pass on art, you and I are both far away from the elder brothers. Back then, the senior brother went to the desert and secretly taught Jing'er the method of my sect, and as a result, with Jing'er's qualifications, he had a foundation of internal strength in less than two years. Now Guo'er is far beyond Jing'er, and its progress is so fast that no one can match it when you look at my sect!"
Hao Datong said: "Senior brother's talent, you and I are far from it, but it's a pity that the senior brother is too quiet, he doesn't like dusty things, and he doesn't pay much attention to the matter of accepting apprentices. ”
Qiu Chuji was also a little regretful, and said: "Yes, the senior brother is dedicated to the Tao, but he is a little indifferent to the matter of martial arts, if it is not for the reason, it is very rare to see him spend time on teaching people martial arts." Back then, I made a bet with the Six Monsters of Jiangnan that I wanted Jing'er and Kang'er to compete in martial arts. After the senior brother learned about it, he felt that I was too competitive and competitive, which was contrary to the Taoist way of quiet and inaction, and persuaded me to no avail, so he secretly taught Jing'er the method of internal cultivation. Now, because of my negligence back then, the senior brother feels deeply ashamed of the Yang family, and he has personally taught him martial arts. Now that I think about it, I feel guilty!"
Hao Datong comforted: "Why do you have to see the outside world like this? Several of our senior brothers have been in the same wind and rain all these years, and their love is more than brotherhood, and they still use such trivial things to neglect their affection? If it is my negligence, don't you also sacrifice your life to make amends?" Qiu was ashamed and said: "Senior brother's words are very serious, but I lost my words. ”
The two were talking, and the Taoist boy outside the door entered the door to report inside, and said that Zhao Zhijing asked to see him.
Qiu Chuji said: "Zhijing should have found it, let them come in." The first half of Qiu Chuji's words was said to Hao Datong, but the second half of the sentence was to tell the boy to pass the word.
Not long after the Tong Shili went down, Zhao Zhijing and Yang Guo walked in one after the other. After Zhao Zhijing stepped forward and finished saluting, Yang Guo stepped forward, first put aside the package with snacks in his arms, and then knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong, and said loudly: "Guo'er has seen Shi Bozu and Shi Shuzu, I wish you two elders eternal enjoyment, eternal Jin'an!"
After finishing the greetings, he stretched out his arms again, spread his hands in front of the two Dao, and said, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, it's time for your two to give the red envelopes for the New Year!"
Qiu and Hao couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't speak for a long time.
