There is a fortune teller in Caodi Village, and everyone calls him Ma Xian. A small wooden house was built next to the creek on the west side of the meadow village and lived with a small monkey and a little boy. The little monkey was much thinner than the average monkey, but it looked very spiritual, and its shiny black fur exuded an extraordinary aura. In particular, this monkey has a line of fiery red hair on its forehead, which is very cute. On weekdays, walking with Ma Xian is particularly eye-catching, and most of the people who look for Ma Xian's fortune telling are looking at Ma Xian differently after seeing this monkey, so they look for Ma Xian's fortune telling. As for the child who lives with Ma Xian, because he stays in the house all the time, few people know that there is another child who lives with Ma Xian.

Ma Xian's fortune-telling is not accurate, and everyone has different opinions. But there is still such a thing in the meadow village. One year, Liu Er's cattle disappeared, and they couldn't find it for a long time. Liu Er, who was anxious, found Ma Xian and asked about the whereabouts of the cow, Ma Xian looked at Liu Er and told him a place. Hearing Ma Xian's words, Liu Er was suspicious and went to find the place Ma Xian said. Sure enough, Liu Er found the cow not far from the place Ma Xian said. Since then, Liu Er has been telling people everywhere how powerful Ma Xian is, and Liu Er is also a person who loves to talk, and it didn't take long for the whole village to know about it. Ma Xian also has some fame in the meadow village. Everyone also began to call him "Ma Xian".

The fortune tellers who walk around these villages are charlatans, and they change places all the time. If you stay in one place for a long time, you will change places if you can't cheat it. But Ma Xian is different, he has always lived in one place. There is no fixed price for the money you ask for from others, and he will charge as much as the other party gives. In addition, Liu Er bragged about Ma Xian's power everywhere, so everyone slowly crossed out Ma Xian's name from the roster of "charlatans".

But this horse fairy seemed lazy, and rarely came out to tell fortunes, and spent most of his time sitting lazily by the river with the monkey watching people come and go. Even the guests who came to the door did not pay much attention, which made the fortune teller very annoyed.

Ma Xian would continue this lazy life until he was penniless, and when he had no money to spend, he began to take monkeys to tell fortunes in the village. In this way, Ma Xian repeated the same life day after year. But a few years ago, he began to have a new thing, which was to teach Li Yi and Yang Yifan. What exactly is taught, everyone didn't see it at first. Later, when people saw the two of them compete with wooden swords, everyone began to think that they should teach them swordsmanship or something.

Speaking of which, we have to start from the spring of four years ago, when the incident of "Liu Er looking for a cow" happened not long ago. Ma Xian gradually became famous in Grassland Village. Especially the children in the village, they all regarded him as a god in the Nine Mountains. This includes Li Yi and Yang Yifan.

One day, Yang Yifan, who was in a daze looking at the figures flying around in the sky, said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, we can't be in a daze like this every day! I heard that those people flying around were people from the Kuju Mountain. Shall we go up to the Nine Peaks and worship them as teachers?"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No, how can you go up to Jiuju Mountain so high." How can it be so easy to get to the place where the immortals live? Pure nonsense!"

Hearing Li Yi's words, Yang Yifan looked in the direction of Jiuzhong Mountain, and let out a long sigh.

After a while, Yang Yifan seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Yi: "Have you heard of Ma Xian?"

Li Yi thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "Ma Xian! What's wrong!"

"You don't even know Ma Xian, are you! the immortal who lives in the cabin by the river. ”

Li Yi coughed twice and said, "Isn't it the one who always carries a little monkey?"

Yang Yifan jumped up and said: "It's him! Actually, I've been thinking that Ma Xian is an immortal, he must be able to fly, and he can also do immortal arts." Can we worship Ma Xian as our master? Let him teach us immortal arts. ”

Li Yi thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this! I used to hear Second Uncle Liu say that he was an immortal. He's amazing! He's so close to us. ”

Yang Yifan said: "Then let's go and worship Ma Xian as a teacher." Go now!"

Li Yi hurriedly catered to Yang Yifan and said, "Okay, let's go!"

In this way, Li Yi and Yang Yifan's apprenticeship began. At the same time, the two of them secretly made up their minds in their hearts to worship Ma Xian as their master.

Li Yi and Yang Yifan went to Ma Xian's cabin by the river with great interest, and when they saw Ma Xian, they knelt down and kowtowed to Ma Xian, shouting: "Immortals, immortals, accept us two as apprentices." ”

"Immortals, immortals, take the two of us as apprentices. ”

Ma Xian was stunned by this sudden situation. The monkeys on the side also looked at Li Yi and Yang Yifan, who were kowtowing to their masters, with a strange look, and let out "squeak" sounds from time to time.

Yang Yifan saw that Ma Xian didn't react, so he took a step closer and said, "Immortal, we want to worship you as a teacher, please accept us as a disciple." Please bow down to the disciples. Then he kowtowed to Ma Xian three more times. Yang Yifan's words were all learned from the people in the village, and Li Yi saw that Yifan was kowtowing and kowtowed three times with him. Seeing this, Ma Xian hurriedly said to the two: "Get up." What are you doing here? What do you want to learn from me? Fortune telling?"

At this time, the monkey on the side looked at the helpless Ma Xian and "squeaked" to him. Creak. He screamed twice. The monkey barked for a while, and saw that none of them reacted. glanced at Yifan and Li Yi, then shook his head and walked around the three of them.

Yifan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Ma Xian: "We want to learn immortal art from immortals. We want to fly in the sky. ”

Ma Xianren listened to "Haha!" laughed. At this time, the little monkey seemed to understand what they were saying, and learned from Ma Xian with his mouth wide open and learned from Ma Xian to laugh "Haha!" It was very cute.

After a while, Ma Xian said, "Who did you listen to say that I know how to do immortal arts?" I'm just a poor fortune teller, where can I do any magic. Nonsense. Ha ha. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yifan and Li Yi jumped up at the same time and shouted: "You deceive people, everyone in the village knows that you are an immortal and can do immortal arts. Don't think we're kids and try to lie to us. We won't be fooled!"

"That's it, adults just love to deceive children. The same is true of the immortals. ”

"Believe it or not, I don't know any immortal magic anyway." Ma Xian said firmly.

Hearing this, Yang Yifan and Li Yi were stunned for a while. Yang Yifan first shouted, "I don't believe it!"

Ma Xian didn't care about Yang Yifan's expression at this time and said, "I really didn't lie to you!"

After saying that, he began to get up and walked in the direction of the cabin.

At this time, Yang Yifan suddenly began to cry "Wow, wow!" When Li Yi saw this, he thought that he was going to do something too, and in a hurry, he cried with "Wow, Wow!"

In this way, Yifan and Li Yi began to cry and make trouble in front of Ma Xian.

Seeing them crying, Ma Xian shook his head helplessly. After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he had thought of something, and he ran to the cabin with the little monkey in his arms. Seeing Ma Xian come into the house, Yifan and Li Yi cried even more, and this time they walked to the cabin and cried. That day, the two of them cried for a long, long time in front of the cabin of Ma Xian's house.

From this day on, for ten consecutive days, Yifan and Li Yi cried in front of Ma Xian's house. The crying was getting worse and worse day by day, and finally Ma Xian finally agreed to take them as apprentices. But what to teach him is up to Ma Xian, and he can teach whatever he wants. Although Yang Yifan and Li Yi were a little unwilling, they thought that they could finally be Ma Xian's disciples no matter what, and they were still very happy in their hearts.

What did Ma Xian teach them in the following days?

The next day, Ma Xian took two wooden sticks and asked them to take these two wooden swords and slash each other until the other party's sword was blown away. Yifan asked Ma Xian in confusion why he wanted to do this. Ma Xian said: "Don't ask why, just practice." Since then, the two of them have been practicing swords like this.

After accepting these two apprentices, the biggest change in the immortals is that they have become fond of fortune-telling. In his opinion, it is better to be pestered by these two people than to go out and tell fortunes to others. What's worse is that these two children keep asking why. Starting with "Why do you practice swords with wood?" to "Why do immortals live in wooden houses?", "Why do immortals bring little monkeys?", "Why don't immortals like to talk?", and so on. In order to avoid these endless problems, he began a life of fortune-telling outside.

For the little monkeys. I like Yifan and Li Yi a lot, because they often take fruits for the little monkey to eat.

People in Meadow Village can often see such a scene, a person holding a monkey running in front, and two children chasing after him with fruits, and the monkey being held by the person looking at the person chasing them behind with longing eyes. The first time they saw this situation, the people in the village thought it was strange and talked about it later, but then everyone was surprised.

At first, Ma Xian thought that these two children were just hot blood, and they wouldn't bother him after a while. But after more than three months, their persistence has not changed at all. In the end, Ma Xian finally made up his mind, and after muttering a few words to himself, he said to Yang Yifan and Li Yi: "Today I will teach you something new." ”

Hearing this, Yifan and Li Yi shouted excitedly: "Thank you, master, we will definitely study hard" After speaking, he hurriedly ran to Ma Xian's face.

Ma Xian nodded and said, "Okay, do you know why I let you use a wooden sword to fight, and it's not a swordsmanship?"

Yifan and Li Yi said at the same time: "I don't know" At this time, the two people were completely excited and became selfless. "Come here, I'll show you a book. ”

Yifan and Li Yi nervously stepped forward and leaned over. I saw Ma Xian holding a book with strange words in his hand. The second of them looked at the old for a while and didn't see what the title of the book was, they thought the book was too old at the beginning, so they couldn't read it, but Ma Xian turned the first page and they realized that it was not that the book was too old, but that the symbols in the book they couldn't understand at all.

The two people who saw the contents of the book were completely stunned, and what made them even more strange was Ma Xian's words: "Have you seen these words?"

Yifan and Li Yi nodded weakly, and the excitement just now was gone. After seeing Yifan and Li Yi's expressions, he said with a serious face: "This book is a divine book, and it is a book for cultivating immortal arts. ”

Ma Xian paused for a moment and glanced at them, and then said: "Have you seen these words? You should use your wooden sword to draw them one by one according to these words, and when you draw these words, you must use your heart to make strokes, and you must remember them with your heart." When you have practiced to a certain extent, you will understand the true meaning of this book. You can become an immortal!" After speaking, Ma Xian secretly laughed, and the expression on his face began to overflow.

Yifan and Li Yi glanced at each other, and took the "divine book" from Ma Xian's hand. Yifan read the book for a while and said, "Okay, Li Yi, let's go practice." ”

Hearing Yifan's words, Li Yi said with a blank face: "Is this book really a divine book?...?

"Alright, alright. Yang Yifan stopped Li Yi from saying what he said, and said to Ma Xian, "Can you show us?"

"No, you have to practice on your own. Get out there and practice. ”

Yifan and Li Yi reluctantly walked out of the wooden house and began to practice according to the words in the book. Ma Xian also took the little monkey out of the wooden house and lay down on the side, and began to fall asleep. I don't know how long it took for Yifan and Li Yi to gradually become confused by this kind of practice, which was completely different from what they imagined, and as soon as they had doubts, the two of them were bored with this boring practice.

After most of the day, Ma Xian also woke up, he looked up at the sky, and the sun in the sky was about to set. Ma Xianmiao was exhausted on the side, with a blank expression, Yifan and Li Yi couldn't help but shake their heads, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. He turned to look at the little monkey on the side, and at this time, the little monkey had already run to Yang Yifan's side and looked at Yifan's hand secretly. Seeing this, Ma Xian's face seemed a little unnatural, as if he recalled what happened many years ago.
