Chapter 3 Apprentice
Zhang Zixuan walked out of the door of Yijiao Branch angrily. Unexpectedly, Yijiao had fallen to such a level in a few years. When passing by the spring flower building, the largest brothel in the city, I was pulled by a group of old women with heavy makeup and powder for a long time. It was not easy to get rid of their entanglement. As soon as I took more than ten steps, I found that someone in front of me fell down and bumped into him. He didn't have time to think about it. He hurriedly gave way, but the man also tilted his body and finally bumped into him.
Zhang Zixuan looked at the man who hit him. It turned out to be a 16 or 17-year-old unkempt and sloppy beggar. A pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes were staring at him fiercely.
"Do you have no eyes when walking!" The little beggar shouted and turned around to escape.
Zhang Zixuan finally knew what "the villain sued first". He grabbed the little beggar's shoulder with his right hand, let him slip around, and slowly stretched out his left hand. The little beggar earned hard and didn't throw it away, so he continued to shout, "What's wrong? I'm not your old friend in the brothel. Let go of me!"
Zhang Zixuan looked at the little beggar helplessly, crying and laughing. With his sensitive six senses, he understood that his wallet had been stolen by the people in front of him. But I didn't expect that even if he was caught by himself, this little beggar would still have a hard mouth.
If the little beggar hadn't been just an ordinary person, Zhang Zixuan would have used magic to deal with him: "You don't need to say too much. Return my wallet quickly."
"What kind of money bag? I don't know! Let me go!" The little beggar struggled hard, but in vain.
"Just give me back the gold and silver tickets in the money bag. The rest is yours! If you don't return it, hum--" Zhang Zixuan was in a bad mood, and he was really a little angry when he was so excited by the little beggar.
The little beggar looked at Zhang Zixuan's slightly angry eyes. Under the invisible pressure, he was so scared that he shivered all over, but he still refused to reveal a word.
Zhang Zixuan was slightly annoyed, his eyes widened, raised his right hand, and made a beating posture.
The little beggar is also quite ambitious and still doesn't say a word.
Zhang Zixuan was helpless. He only had good luck and was ready to forcibly take back the money bag by dealing with the owner of the Yijiao branch. At this moment, a stone suddenly hit him with a shrill. He hurriedly reached out and clamped the stone firmly between his fingers, but the whole arm was itchy.
Zhang Zixuan looked around at the stone. The visitor was a middle-aged Confucian who was about 30 years old and dressed in a white Confucian costume. A head of blue silk was tied behind his neck by a white hair, and he still held a blue sword in his hand.
A master of Jianzong? Zhang Zixuan thought to himself. The flying stone just now, whether it is the strength, the size of the angle or the fairy power, is just right and impeccable.
"Why do you have to forgive the little brother? It's just a money bag." The Confucian smiled, and then took a few steps closer and lowered his voice: "What's more, the monks don't need to care too much about these secular things."
Zhang Zixuan was stunned at first, and then explained, "Senior, the younger generation has no intention of hurting people. It's just him..."
"Huh! What a good person I am! If you can beat it, you will be a hero. If you can't beat it, you will be a bear. The little beggar beside him crossed his waist and made a disdain.
"Di Zhong! Don't retreat!" The Confucian walked to the little beggar and stretched out his right hand. The little beggar had to take out Zhang Zixuan's purse from his underwear and respectfully put it in the hands of Confucianism. The Confucian shook his head gently, turned to Zhang Zixuan and said, "Little brother, I'll pay you back this money first. I apologize to you again for Di Zhong. I think this matter will end like this. How about it?
"Naturally follow the meaning of the predecessor. I thank the predecessor first!" Zhang Zixuan quickly returned the salute.
The Confucian handed the money bag to Zhang Zixuan, and Zhang Zixuan quickly took it. Seeing that Zhang Zixuan was so modest, the Confucian also had a good impression and asked with a smile, "What's your name, little brother? You have such skills at a young age.
"How dare, how dare you? The younger generation is exempted from your surname Zhang, and my father wants my descendants to be 'Shu Yixuan', so he named it Zixuan. Zhang Zixuan was a little flattered. It was not difficult to see from the Taoism of the Confucianism that he was most likely to be an immortal in the immortal class.
"Open your wings like a peacock, stand tall... Good name! You are really outstanding!" The Confucian said with a smile, "My surname is Lv Mingyan, and my name is Dongbin. Excuse me for taking the liberty of inviting the little brother to the house for a party? I don't know if it's okay."
When Zhang Zixuan heard the words, he thought: Anyway, I'm going to refine Xumi in Yongle. It's better to make more friends in Yongcheng.
After made up his mind, Zhang Zixuan said with some embarrassment, "This... Elder Lv, I still have three companions..."
"That's naturally better. I like to be lively." Lv Yan nodded slightly, signaling that it was okay, and then turned slightly sideways: "Please!"
Just as Lv Yan and Zhang Zixuan were about to leave, they saw Di Zhong rushing to them and kneeling on the ground sobbing: "You are not talented. Please Uncle Lv to teach me how to practice!"
"Huh? Di Zhong, isn't your mother still sick in bed? The dust is still unbroken. How can it be possible to concentrate on Taoism? Lv Yan stretched out his hand and gently touched the little beggar's head and said, "If you don't have money, go to my house to get some. How can you do this thing?"
"My mother has died, and now I have no relatives. What's the use of money? It's just that it's just a family hatred..." Di Zhong smiled blankly, but he had to bear the pain of bereavement at a young age, which made people feel pity.
It's really hard for this boy! When Lv Yan saw that Di Zhong was so sad, he couldn't help but feel compassion. He secretly pinched his fingers and found that Zhang Zixuan was the lucky star he hit. He thought to himself: I will help you. As for the future, you have to go by yourself!
Lv Yan sighed and quietly sent a voice to Zhang Zixuan: "A few years ago, Di Zhong's family was hunted down by a group of thieves. There were more than 30 people in the house, and only he escaped with his parents and sister. But on the way, the mother and son were separated from the other two. When they settled down, they traveled all over the country to look for the other two, but they haven't found them yet. Di Zhong's mother was tired and shocked. She was seriously ill. She couldn't afford to get sick, and the softness on her body was also exhausted. Therefore, a rich young master originally fell to this point..."
So that's it. No wonder Di Zhong has such a strange and perverse temper. Zhang Zixuan was shocked by Di Zhong's experience. Thinking about what he had just done to him, he didn't know how to compensate for it for a while.
"Hey! Di Zhong, you are so obsessed that you are only dedicated to revenge, but it is a taboo for cultivation! Teach me how to accommodate you?" When Lv Yan saw that Zhang Zixuan was still silent, he added another dose of news.
"Please take me to get started, Uncle Lu. I can also be next to the sea of knives and fire, and I will also bear to be a cow and a horse! Just ask for the temporary door wall and learn the ability to enter the world!" Di Zhong suddenly kowtowed to Lv Yan.
"Di Zhong, you can't do it. Get up quickly." Lv Yan held his hand, and Di Zhong felt a soft force to lift himself up: "Oh... I can't accept apprentices!" Brother Zhang, what do you think?
Zhang Zixuan didn't realize that Lv Yan wanted to take this hot potato. It was not until Lv Yan shouted again that he woke up: "Ah? Me?
When Di Zhong heard this, he knew that Zhang Zixuan was also a man of cultivation. At that moment, he was cruel and knelt down to Zhang Zixuan again: "Sir, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake just now! Please don't care about the villain!"
"Ah? This..." Zhang Zixuan wanted to refuse, but when he heard about Di Zhong's tragic situation, thinking that his words and deeds were indeed excessive just now, he couldn't help saying with some guilt, "Then... you just follow us first."
He thought to himself: I only teach him some ordinary skills. Presumably the master will not punish me. Besides, doesn't the master often say that he should do good deeds and accumulate virtues?
As soon as Di Zhong heard that there was a play, he hurriedly kowtowed his head to Zhang Zixuan and said, "Master, please be worshipped by the disciples three times!"
"Wait! I didn't say I would take you as an apprentice!" Zhang Zixuan quickly picked up Di Zhong, but Di Zhong had already kowtowed three times and saluted the teacher.
"Let's go to my house and discuss it later." Lv Yan knew that Zhang Zixuan could not accept it for a while, so he decided to let him slow down first: "Brother Zixuan, let's pick up your companion first."
Zhang Zixuan went to Lv's shop to pick up Le Tian and others, and also told Le Tian and two spirit beasts about Di Zhong's experience. Le Tian didn't have a mother. Hearing the sadness, she couldn't help bursting into tears. Zhang Zixuan was so distressed that she had to wipe her tears with her sleeves in a hurry...
Everyone met in front of Lv's house. Lv Yan had already seen the clues of the two spirit beasts. His eyes always inadvertently glanced at Xiaoxue and Fengcheng, but there was no way to break.
"Six people, this is the humble house under." Lv Yan stopped and introduced to several people.
Zhang Zixuan looked up and saw a ten-foot-high vermilion gate with two large gold-inlaid characters - Lvfu. Two stone lions stood there majestically at the door, like living things. The family in the house opened the door and turned to the wall. The first thing printed into their eyes was a cobblestone paved quiet path, with flower beds and fences in different shapes on both sides, and in the distance were staggered mountain and stone forests, and countless elegant houses dotted in the distance.
No matter how big the Lv Mansion is, it can't be bigger than Yongle City. This is mostly done by Lv Yan casting spells with earth shrinkage.
"No wonder Uncle Lv's family property is so big that even Lv's shop is your property." When Zhang Zixuan went to Lv's shop, he knew that Lv's shop also belonged to Lv Yan's name.
"I'm flattered! Please come with me." After saying that, Lv Yan led Zhang Zixuan and others into the path.
Walking into the path, I saw flowers and trees on both sides, strange rocks, hundreds of birds singing, and insects singing together, which was really refreshing. Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian both come from the mountains and have been with the wilderness since childhood, so they don't care much. Di Zhong felt that this scene was rare. He kept looking around all the way and was very curious.
Through the goose-egg path, everyone came to a small lake. Under the sunlight, the green lake clearly reveals the small fish that shuttles back and forth from the bottom of the lake. It is leisurely and comfortable. In the center of the lake is a unique octagonal pavilion, with a winding corridor connected to the shore, looming in the steaming water. Really:
The curved path is deep through the flowers and trees,
The water pavilion of the building is foggy.
"Come on! Four of you, please sit down!" After taking everyone to play along the small lake, Lv Yan arranged for everyone to sit down in the pavilion, and then ordered, "Come on! Prepare the wine and dishes as soon as possible. Let's stay with me tonight!"
"Ah? Senior, we have been bothering you for a long time. I'm sorry. Why bother you again? I think we'd better say goodbye first!" With that, Zhang Zixuan stood up and wanted to leave.
Lv Yan's face turned pale and asked, "What's the matter? Do you look down on me, Lu?"
"Of course not..." Zhang Zixuan hurriedly explained, which made Xiao Xue laugh secretly.
"Master! I want to go back and get something." Di Zhong suddenly interrupted and said, "That thing may be useful to you."
Lv Yan hurriedly stood up and gestured to the servant outside the pavilion: "Wait a minute, I'll send Di Zhong out. I'm sorry, Mr. Lu is going to excuse me for a while. It turned out that there were many magic arrays in the house. If no one answered, it would be easy to get lost.
After a while, Lv Yan led a maidservant back along the corridor. The maid still held a mahogany disk with a layer of bright red silk on the disk, and a dark black and shiny gold silk on the silk.
Lv Yan explained, "I heard that you are in urgent need of Ujin silk. It's just a little kind of intention as a gift from my elder to the younger generation. I think it's more than enough to make two invulnerable silk armors.
Le Tian took the plate, but saw that Fengcheng's little claws were about to stretch out. She quickly stared, and Feng established the horse stopped and cleverly sat aside to gnaw peaches.
"Uncle Lu guessed wrong!" Le Tian took Wu Jinsi with a smile and explained, "In fact, my younger brother wants to be a Xu Mi!"
