Chapter 04 Xianju
The disciple was quite polite and gave Xiao Yi enough face. He said, "Since Brother Xiao is a good friend, he should let him go."
Xiao Yi thanked the four disciples guarding the mountain and led Yan Ji to the ladder to view.
There are many buildings, and the bluestone roads are crisscrossed. Yan Ji doesn't know where to go. She follows Xiao Yi closely and follows him on the road. Along the way, regardless of Taoism, male and female disciples, they took the initiative to greet Xiao Yi. From this, it seems that Xiao Yi is extremely respected in the view, which Yan Ji can see most clearly.
"Don't be late, I'll take you to see the master," Xiao Yi said and came to a room and said to Yan Ji, "You wait at the door. I'll go first to see the master."
Yan Ji nodded "um".
Xiao Yi entered the room, gently knocked on the door of the inner room, and said, "Master, my disciple is back."
"Come in." There was a loud voice in the room.
Xiao Yi pushed the door into the house, and then closed the door again. Before Xiao Yi opened his mouth, Guang Chengzi, sitting on the futon, asked, "How's it going?"
This Guangchengzi wears a dark green robe, with a burly and plump look.
Xiao Yi bowed to his master and replied, "Half a month ago, when I arrived at Qianjian Villa, I saw that Qianjian Villa had been destroyed. At that time, my uncle was fighting with a group of people at Hell Gate. After my uncle retreated to the hell gate demon, my uncle said that Zhou Huaiyang had revealed the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sword to him before his death..."
Hearing that the sky was found, Guang Chengzi looked happy and interrupted, "Where is the sky now?"
Xiao Yijian locked his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Uncle Guangling escort him?"
Guang Chengzi glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "If it's sent back, I won't ask you. Tell me in detail what's going on. Where is the sky?"
Xiao Yi replied respectfully, "At that time, my uncle and I discussed a plan to find two wooden boxes. The wooden boxes I brought were fakes, and Uncle Guangling brought real ones. We took the way back to the view to disturb the enemy. Unexpectedly, I met the evil ghost and the fierce ghost among the five ghosts of Hell Gate on the way. I removed the fierce ghost, but was seriously injured by the evil ghost. I fled to a small town and fainted. Later, I was rescued by a teenager and healed to this day. I thought that my uncle had escorted me back to watch, so I went back to watch.
Guang Chengzi suddenly looked gloomy and sighed, "Your Uncle Guangling hasn't returned yet. Most of the time something happened."
As soon as Xiao Yi heard about this, he resolutely said, "This trip is not good. The apprentice is going to find out where Uncle Guangling is."
Guang Chengzi looked up and down at Xiao Yi's body and asked, "How is your injury recovering?"
Xiao Yi replied, "It has fully recovered and can travel immediately."
Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment and said, "Then you can go out for another walk. You have to look carefully on the way and be sure to find out the whereabouts of your Uncle Guangling." After a moment, he said, "Your Uncle Guangling hasn't returned yet. Most of it has happened. I asked Chang Qingzi, the eldest disciple of Uncle Guangling, to accompany you on this trip and take care of you. It's urgent. You take a break tonight and leave with Changqingzi tomorrow morning.
Xiao Yi arched his hand and said, "Yes."
After saying the important things, Xiao Yi mentioned Yan Ji's story to his master: "Master, my disciple has something to report."
Guang Chengzi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yi said: "Master, you once said that the demon religion has become more and more rampant in recent years, and we also need people to prepare for emergencies. A few days ago, when I was seriously injured, I was rescued by a teenager. He was alone, lonely and often bullied by others. I saw that he was pitiful and wanted to introduce him to the teacher's door, hoping that Master would accept him.
The leaders of these cultivation sects like the world's geniuses the most. It is most appropriate to rely on this kind of person to inherit the mantle of the sect. As long as they are amazing and gorgeous, they can collect as much as they want.
Guang Chengzi thought that if the teenager really had some qualifications, he might as well get under the door, so he asked Xiao Yi, "What about the teenager? Call him to see me."
Xiao Yi walked out of the house and said to Yan Ji, "Come in with me. Master wants to see you."
In a completely strange environment, Yan Ji was inevitably a little nervous. She was so timid that she didn't dare to say one more word and only followed Xiao Yi closely.
Guang Chengzi looks like a unkempt, thin and sick boy. He has already frowned and is quite dissatisfied. In particular, the cowardly eyes did not suit him at all.
The leader of Guangcheng's school was also a little cultivated. Of course, what he thought would not be written on his face. He only saw a kind smile and said to Xiao Yi, "Although I have been in urgent need of manpower, how can I be a high teacher, and I don't have much energy to teach art. I have already confiscated the idea of apprentices."
The meaning of the words, Xiao Yi was already clear, and the master clearly looked down on Yan Ji, which was a polite refusal.
Seeing that the man had no idea of accepting apprentices, Yan Ji was quite disappointed and wanted to go back to the Shuijiahu Town to be beaten and scolded. Yan Ji actually had the impulse to cry.
Seeing that the master refused to accept Yan Ji as an apprentice, Xiao Yi did not beg the master and thought, "That's good. I will give this young man some money and send him down the mountain. It's better for him to live a plain life than thinking about me."
Dang Yi's thinking, Guang Chengzi thought that the teenager had at least saved his apprentice's life, so he turned the teenager out, which also seemed a little impersonal. He thought to himself, "Brother Guangyi is leisurely, doesn't ask much about the world, and is closed all year round. It is not easy to accept apprentices to pass on art. There is only one female disciple under the door, but he never cares about his disciples. Practice. I placed this teenager under his door, and he will definitely accept it and continue to retreat. Only he will accept this teenager, so that Xiao Yi and the teenager will not be blamed for being ruthless.
Guang Chengzi suddenly said to Xiao Yi, "Although I have no intention of being an apprentice, I can introduce this teenager to your Guangyi uncle. He will definitely accept this teenager as an apprentice."
Xiao Yi thought that Liang Xiangling, a disciple of Guangyi's real people, had a good relationship with him. Liang Xiangling was very kind, and it was best for her to take care of Yan Ji. In addition, Guangyi is closed to practice all year round, and rarely cares about Chinese affairs. Unless it is a big deal, Yan Ji may not receive the task of going out under his door, and there is no need to worry about life or death due to the implementation of the task.
Xiao Yi did not panic to thank his master, but asked Yan Ji, "Would you like to worship my uncle Guangyi?"
Yan Ji saw that the old Taoist priest's face was not very kind. If he didn't worship him as his teacher, he replied, "Yes!"
Guang Chengzi immediately stood up from the futon and said, "Since you want, I will introduce you." After saying that, pick up a pen and paper to write a letter of recommendation.
After writing, he handed the letter to Xiao Yi and said, "This is my letter of recommendation. You take him to your Uncle Guangyi in person. After finishing this, you can go to bed early and go out tomorrow.
Xiao Yi took the letter of recommendation with both hands and said, "Yes, Master."
Xiao Yi said goodbye to his master and took Yan Ji to the "Qingzhu Xianju" where Guangyi lived. Guangyi Zhenren likes quietness and does not want to live in crowded places, so he built a green bamboo fairy house a few miles away from the east gate of Sanqingguan.
Out of the east gate, you can see a few sparse green bamboos. Under the cool autumn wind, all kinds of grass have withered yellow. Except for pines and cypresses, these green bamboos are still green.
The further east you go, the denser the green bamboo becomes. There is a pool in the bamboo forest, and there are more than ten bamboo houses, large and small by the pool. This is the living and repairing place of Guangyi Zhenren - Qingzhu Xianju. You won't hear any sound in Sanqing Temple here, let alone the disciples who come and go. It is indeed a good place for Qingxiu.
A woman in a pinkwood embroidered skirt came out of a bamboo house. The woman was about 18 or 19 years old. Her face was crystal clear and her skin was as bright as snow. She had a small dimple on her face, and she was slightly shy. She was really a beautiful girl. This pink fir woman is Liang Xiangling, a real disciple of Guangyi.
Xiao Yi came to Qingzhu Xianju with Yan Ji. She had already found it in the room and walked out to greet her. Liang Xiangling saw Xiao Yi and said with a shy smile, "What's wrong with Brother Xiao coming here? I've already had lunch here. I have to wait for dinner.
Yan Ji has seen such a beautiful woman for the first time since she grew up. Compared with the women she has seen in Shuijiahu Town, she is completely different. Liang Xiangling saw the unkempt teenager looking at him, and his eyes turned from Xiao Yi to Yan Ji, looking at the teenager. Yan Ji saw that the beautiful woman suddenly looked at him and thought that she was blaming herself for looking at her, so she lowered her head and dared not look into Liang Xiangling's eyes.
Xiao Yi also smiled and said, "I'm not here to have a meal. I'm here to see Uncle Guangyi."
Liang Xiangling said softly, "Master is closed in the Qingzhu Cave in the back mountain and does not go out to see people at will. Brother Xiao, please tell me the matter, and I will pass it on for you."
Xiao Yi handed the introduction letter to Liang Xiangling and said, "My master wants to introduce this little brother to Uncle Guang as a disciple. This is the introduction letter."
Liang Xiangling took the letter and said, "You go into the house and sit down. I'll send a message to the master." After saying that, he led Xiao Yi and Yan Ji into a bamboo house.
There is an ink painting hanging in the main hall of the bamboo house, painted with bamboo, and poems written in cursive script:
The green bamboo is half full of pits, and the new shoots come out of the wall.
The rain is clean, and the wind blows fine fragrance.
In addition to this painting, there are also several ink treasures hanging on the left and right walls of the bamboo house. I think this Guangyi real person is also an elegant person.
Liang Xiangling made two cups of tea and walked out of the house and walked to the bamboo forest behind the Qingzhu Xianju. Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and drank two sips. Seeing that Yan Ji's timid appearance did not dare to make any action, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If Uncle Guangyi agrees to accept you as a disciple, she is your senior sister. She is very nice."
Although Yan Ji nodded and said yes, he was still afraid that the Guangyi real person would not accept him as a disciple and would return to the town to be bullied and ridiculed for the rest of his life.
In less than half an hour, Liang Xiangling had returned. Seeing that Guangyi Zhenren did not follow, Xiao Yi was disappointed and thought to himself, "It seems that Uncle Guangyi has no intention of accepting apprentices and refuses to leave the customs."
Just as Xiao Yi was disappointed, Liang Xiangling said, "Master has promised to accept him as a disciple. He can worship the master at any time after he comes out of the customs. He is now regarded as a disciple."
Yan Ji's heart, which had been ups and downs for a long time, finally settled down, thinking that no one could bully him after learning his ability, and he was extremely happy.
Xiao Yi stood up and said to Liang Xiangling, "In this case, this little brother entrusted Sister Liang to take care of me. I still have something important to do, so I should not stay here any more."
Liang Xiangling said, "It doesn't matter. He will be our fellow brother in the future. Naturally, I will take more care of him. Master, there are two more words to ask me to convey to you, and you will be in charge of the teacher.
Xiao Yi arched his hand and said, "Sister Liang, please speak."
Liang Xiangling was not in a hurry to say it. She turned around and walked outside the house and said, "Come out and say it!" The implication is that you can't say it in front of Yan Ji.
When Xiao Yi walked out of the house, Liang Xiangling said slowly, "Master said that he would often take out some of the ink treasures he collected and expose them to the sun, so he accepted him as a disciple, but this one person was enough."
