The next day, in Juxian Manor, Monk Puzhi, who had gotten up early, stood beside a lotus pond. He raised his head, glanced at the north wing, and said to himself: "Although the Five Elements Spiritual Roots are a bit weak, don't let it happen." I'm disappointed."
"Hey." Puzhi sighed, and after shaking his head, he turned into a golden light and fled along the distance. From beginning to end, he never said goodbye to A Niu.
And just after Pu Zhi left, A Niu also woke up in the north wing. The reason why he got up so early was because Lin Feng told him before leaving that someone would be his master today. So in order to leave a good impression on the master, he got up early
After washing up casually, Aniu sat at the table and waited patiently. Time passed minute by minute, but there was never a knock on his door.
Although he was a little anxious, A Niu never complained. In his boredom, he couldn't help but think of his fellow villagers in Lianghe Village. Then, he thought of the catastrophe that happened not long ago in the village and his father who died as a result.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, A Niu frowned and said: "What happened that day? I had obviously passed out, but why did my body move on its own? And it seemed that I still had thoughts, as if I was being carried by another person. It¡¯s like being possessed.¡±
Regarding this matter, A Niu never mentioned it to anyone. Even when his mother asked, he made up a lie to fool her because he didn't want his mother to worry. Secondly, even if he told it, no one would believe him.
After a while, A Niu couldn't figure it out and had no choice but to give up. However, at this moment, three crisp sounds suddenly came from his door.
"Here it comes." Hearing the knock on the door, A Niu stood up and opened the door excitedly. What caught my eye was a man, wearing a white robe. He was about the same age as Lin Tianhou. The only difference was that he had a row of thick beard on his upper lip, and his expression was extremely cold and handsome, which made everyone look at him. I couldn't help but put away my joke.
"Are you Liu Ding?" the man said calmly.
A Niu paused and nodded dully: "Yes, I am."
Seeing that A Niu was a little silly, the man snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied. But since the orders had been given, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
With his hands behind his back, the man walked to the table in the room and sat down. He said expressionlessly: "My name is Pingliu. From now on, I will be your master. Please perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
"Ah." A Niu screamed in shock before he could react. Apparently, the master came too directly and he was caught off guard. The whole person stayed in place, opening his mouth to speak, but couldn't say a word.
Seeing A Niu like this, Ping Liu was even more disappointed and snorted: "Why, don't you want to?"
Hearing this, A Niu suddenly woke up and immediately knelt on the ground "Bang, bang, bang" and kowtowed nine times in a row before stopping and saying: "Disciple A Niu, pay homage to the master. "
??Looking at the redness on his forehead, plus the nickname A Niu. Pingliu was completely disappointed with this new apprentice, and he couldn't help cursing "What a big idiot" in his heart, and then waved his hand and said: "Since you have become my apprentice, you will not be nicknamed Aniu in the future. If someone mentions me, let¡¯s call him Liu Ding, so as not to embarrass me.¡±
Although A Niu was a little dissatisfied with this, since the master had said so, he had no choice but to agree: "Yes, I will listen to the master and never mention my nickname to outsiders in the future."
Nodding, Pingliu finally felt a little satisfied with this silly apprentice. However, after seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground, this trace of satisfaction completely disappeared, and he said angrily: "Why don't you get up?"
Seeing the sudden change in the master's temperament, A Niu felt nervous and said with a little fear: "Master, if you don't tell me, master, how dare you get up?"
"Huh." Suppressing the anger in his heart, Pingliu clenched his hands tightly on the table, as if he was on the verge of going crazy. He waved his hand before clearly to let the other party get up, but this stupid disciple actually blamed him for not saying
"Hey." Pingliu sighed, glanced at the patchwork clothes A Niu was wearing, and then a dark blue Taoist robe appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye. He threw it and said, "Put it on and follow me."
Holding this brand new robe in his hand, A Niu was suddenly moved. Although the master in front of him never gave him a good look from the beginning, but judging from this dress, he felt that Ping Liu still cared about him.
With this thought in his mind, Aniu said respectfully: "Thank you, master." After that, Aniu stood up, quickly took off his clothes, and then put on the Taoist robe.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. After A Niu put on the Taoist robe, although he looked a bit dark, from the outline point of view, he was still handsome.
Glancing at A Niu who was wearing Taoist robes, Ping LiuHe nodded, quite satisfied. However, after seeing him carefully putting away the patched clothes, he asked with some confusion: "Why do you still keep this clothes?"
Grinning, A Niu replied honestly: "I have been wearing this dress for a year and I want to keep it. Besides, it took my mother one day to sew it for me."
"You pack up quickly, I'll wait for you outside." Pingliu was furious. He wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, he gave up. With a wave of his hand, he strode out. If he stayed here, he was afraid that he would endure it. I can't help but give this stupid apprentice a good beating.
A Niu scratched his head, wondering what wrong thing he had done to make the master angry. Then he smiled bitterly, packed up his things, put the gray stone sword he got from the Ten Thousand Poison Forest on his back, and walked towards the door.
In the courtyard, he saw Pingliu standing with his back to him and his hands behind his back. Aniu was about to move forward when he saw Sister Lianhua, who had brought him a meal yesterday, walking over with several plates of snacks. He couldn't help but ask: "Sister Lianhua, what are you doing?" ?¡±
Smiling slightly, Lianhua said with a cordial tone: "Of course I brought you breakfast. I guess you must be very hungry."
A Niu nodded hurriedly. He hadn't eaten anything all night, and he was already so hungry that his belly was pressed against his back. Just as he was about to reach out and take it, Pingliu shouted: "Why don't you leave?"
Hearing this voice, Lianhua discovered that there was another person standing on the path beside a big tree, so she hurriedly turned sideways and saluted: "I have seen the Immortal before."
"Yeah." Pingliu responded, without saying anything, he raised his feet and walked forward.
When A Niu was about to follow, Lian Hua hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms, wrapped a few snacks in it, handed it to A Niu and said, "Take it with you to eat on the way, don't be hungry."
With a feeling of warmth in his heart, A Niu nodded and took it, then said "thank you" and trotted to catch up with Liu. During this period, he did not forget to turn back and wave to the lotus to say goodbye.
Looking at A Niu's back gradually disappearing, Lian Hua showed a look of reluctance, but at the same time she also knew that after this farewell, she and A Niu were two people in different worlds.
"Hey." After sighing, Lianhua lowered her head and whispered softly: "Good brother, my sister wishes you to become an immortal soon"
Following Ping Liu out of Juxian Village, Liu Ding glanced at the mortals who were busy on the street, and Liu Ding asked curiously: "Master, where are we going?"
"Qilian Mountains".
Scratching his head, Liu Ding obviously didn¡¯t know where that place was, so he simply didn¡¯t ask any more questions and followed Ping Liu obediently.
Not far outside the city, when Pingliu saw no one around, a light flashed in his hand, and a stick emitting blue light appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye. He tossed it casually, and the stick stopped in mid-air, and at the same time it immediately changed into A lot thicker. After leaping forward, Pingliu stood firmly on the stick without looking back, and said calmly: "Come up quickly."
Liu Ding has long been accustomed to this wooden stick floating in the air. After all, he once flew for a day on Puzhi's wooden fish, so he was not surprised by the mission at this moment, but he yearned for cultivating immortals more.
When he came under the half-meter-thick wooden stick, Liu Ding stretched out his hand to grab it, and his feet landed on the wooden stick. However, before he could sit firmly, the wooden stick turned into a blue light and rushed forward. And go.
Because it was too sudden, Liu Ding did not react for a moment, and his body immediately leaned back. Behind him, there was a hundred meters in the air. If he really fell, even though he was a little different from ordinary people, he would definitely fall to his death.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Pingliu shot a rope from his hand and tied it to his hand, holding him from falling. But because the wooden stick was flying too fast, the strong wind around him still hurt his face.
Looking up at Ping Liu's back, Liu Ding suddenly felt that this weird-tempered master was actually not that difficult to deal with. At least from what he saw just now, he felt that this master still cared about him.
Ping Liu naturally doesn¡¯t know what Liu Ding is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely laugh in his heart, because the reason why he took action before was just because he didn¡¯t want to collect the body of this stupid apprentice
Half an hour passed, and under the rapid flight of the wooden stick, the two of them arrived at their destination in a short while. In front of them, they saw completely shrouded in clouds and mist, with a huge mountain looming in the mist, looking extremely mysterious.
After directing the wooden stick to fall to the ground, Pingliu put away the wooden stick and the rope tied to A Niu's hands, made a seal with his hands, and then shot a blue light into the fog: "Open."
As he finished speaking, the clouds and mist in front of him spread out in all directions, revealing a road more than two feet wide. Lifting his feet, Pingliu walked straight into the fog without saying much.
Seeing this, Liu Ding quickly followed and waited for the two of them to go in.Finally, the dispersed clouds and mist slowly converged, covering the avenue again.
Inside, as the clouds and mists converged, Liu Ding found that the front was getting blurry and blurry, and within a while he could no longer see clearly. Seeing this, he was a little scared and hurriedly grabbed Ping Liu's clothes.
"Humph." Seeing how timid his new apprentice was, Pingliu's face suddenly turned ugly, but he did not scold him and continued to walk forward slowly.
Not long after walking like this, the clouds and fog in front suddenly disappeared. Liu Ding was also completely stunned at this moment, his eyes widened as if he didn't believe what he was seeing.
What did he see? It was just a market, but this market was a little different from what he saw in Qiancheng. At first glance, there were not many people, but everyone exuded an aura that was not found in mortals.
Secondly, there are many shops here, and of course there are street stalls, but most of the items sold on the stalls are strange in shape, emit a faint light, and come in all colors.
"Here, what kind of place is this?" Liu Ding was shocked. He opened his mouth to ask the master, but seeing that his face was not very good, he had to bury all the questions in his heart.
"This is a free trading place for all immortal cultivators from Chu and Wei. In addition to taking care of a shop in our village, your master and I are also guarding this place. Come on, follow me to the shop in the village first." As if he could see what Liu Ding was thinking, Ping Liu explained kindly and then took Liu Ding to the market
