Chapter 231
Ni Yangzhou was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what kind of appearance and charm Yuanjia's master had to attract Hongying so much.
The girl grinned, not thinking that there was anything wrong with her idea. As she flew towards the Bi Se Peak, she said to Ni Yangzhou, "Haoping loves his disciples like his own sons, especially the eldest disciple Yuan Jia. He has invested a lot of effort in cultivating him. If I can deal with him, wouldn't it be like I have a loyal supporter?"
Ni Yangzhou shook his head. He didn't think that relying on other people to get close was a good idea, but he didn't say anything.
Along the way, Hongying kept saying a lot of good things about Taoist Haoping, saying how handsome he was, how powerful he was, and how sincere and kind he was. She threw out four-character idioms like they were free. The young man sincerely realized the benefits of studying.
I won’t feel at a loss for words when praising others.
Among the numerous compliments, Ni Yangzhou picked out the key point - Hongying was a cherry tree spirit who became a Taoist. When there was a severe drought in the mortal world and she was dying of thirst, it was Taoist Haoping who passed by and saw that she had gained intelligence, so he watered her with some spiritual wine spring water, which helped her get through those years while she was dizzy.
Finally, they were almost at the Bi Se Peak. Hong Ying closed her mouth that had been talking all the way. Even her teeth were a little cold from the wind. She was about to slowly descend when suddenly a transparent barrier was installed.
"Hey, I'll go!"
Hongying was quick with her hands and eyes, and she steadied the cherry blossom instrument with a few spells, which nearly tipped over. She scratched her head and said, "There was no barrier before? I even came here to steal the fruits."
The girl turned around and said to Ni Yangzhou, "I can only send you here. You can go in by yourself."
Ni Yangzhou stood up, thanked Hongying, leaned out and jumped onto the stone platform. He reached out and touched it. The invisible barrier did not defend him. It felt like entering water. If he took another half step forward, he could walk directly into the peak.
Seeing the young man stepping in, Hongying waved her hand while sitting on the magic weapon and shouted, "What time tomorrow? I'll come to pick you up! Remember to call Yuanjia!"
Ni Yangzhou watched the other person's mouth opening and closing inside the barrier, but could not hear any sound. He stuck his head out again and asked, "What did you say just now?"
Hongying asked doubtfully, "It's soundproof? I asked you what time it is tomorrow. Also, this is for you!"
Another white jade communication card was thrown over, and the boy caught it. Hongying shouted, "Remember to call Yuanjia and tell me the time."
Ni Yangzhou looked at the white jade pieces in his hand and in his arms, and asked, "They look the same. What should I do if I can't tell them apart?"
Hongying said: "How could it be? The spiritual energy is different!"
The young man finally understood.
"I'm not sure about the time, I'll reply to you later, thank you very much!"
Hongying waved her hand and floated away on the rotating cherry blossoms.
Ni Yangzhou walked slowly into the courtyard with the jade token in his pocket. He felt that he had met new people and learned new things in one day, and that there seemed to be something worth looking forward to in his life.
The wind blows across my face, bringing with it the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves.
As soon as I walked into the bamboo courtyard, I saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
Ni Yangzhou saw the master's back, jumped a few steps and ran over, in a good mood, "Master, are you enjoying the scenery?"
After being called to the main peak by his senior brother Guan Mi for a whole day of earnest teaching, Yan Congzhi finally decided to wait for his disciple to come back and show his concern for him.
……
"No, I'm waiting for you. How was your training today? Do you have any questions?"
Ni Yangzhou felt warm at the words, and the fact that someone was waiting for him made him even happier. He pulled out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, on which were a bunch of drawings drawn with a burnt charcoal pencil.
Yan Congzhi looked at his busy apprentice and asked, "Is there a talisman training class today? I have never seen such a talisman before."
The boy's face turned red. "Yes, but this is not a talisman. I wrote it down in my own way, the parts I don't understand."
Yan Congzhi stopped his hand from taking it, remained silent for a moment, and said to the boy: "Come in."
After saying that, he walked in first.
The young man was quite happy and followed his master into the guest room. There was still the same small table in the middle, except that there was no chessboard on it.
There was a short sword leaning against the right corner.
"Oh, right," Ni Yangzhou thought of Yuanjia, "Master, Yuanjia came to get this yesterday, why is it here..."
Yan Congzhi thought of the fairy grass spirit hiding behind Ni Yangzhou in the morning.
"Not a single one. The Ruofu technique can replicate some low-level magic weapons."
Ni Yangzhou was a little surprised that even something like this could be doubled.
Yan Congzhi looked at the boy's eyes and said, "You take it."
Ni Yangzhou was a little shocked: "Send it to me?"
"It's just a small knife that Hao Ping used to fold wax cores. He has asked his disciple to take one back. When you have established your foundation, I will find a magic weapon for you."
Ni Yangzhou smiled, and his teeth looked unusually white. His master was the first person other than his parents to actually give him a gift.
"Thank you, master!"
The boy picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully. Even the small gems on it were reflecting dazzling light, which was very beautiful.
Yan Congzhi suddenly remembered what his senior brother said during the day:
"Most children in the mortal world have a hard life, especially those whose relatives have passed away. You need to pay more attention to them, otherwise it is easy for them to develop inner demons and find it difficult to enter the Tao."
The young man in front of me smiled brightly because of an ordinary dagger. I don’t know if it’s because he really likes it or because he has too few of them.
Yan Congzhi tapped the desktop: "If you have any questions, ask now."
Ni Yangzhou said "Oh", quickly put away the knife, took out the cloth strip and started asking.
There were little people in various postures on the cloth, some with their heads tilted, some waving their arms, and there were many incomprehensible symbols. Ni Yangzhou was not confused at all and remembered them very clearly. It took three hours for the master to finish explaining them to him bit by bit.
During this time, the communication card in his arms, which belonged to someone unknown, vibrated many times, causing the master to look up several times. For some reason, Ni Yangzhou seemed to be caught doing something bad, and he didn't dare to take it out to contact the master even once, for fear of being scolded by the master for not wanting to learn.
Outside, the stars were shining obliquely, and Ni Yangzhou couldn't help stretching. Seeing that his master was still sitting properly and elegantly, he quickly put his hands away and put his legs together.
"Master, I am sorry to have disturbed your rest."
Yan Congzhi shook his head, "It's a good thing to concentrate on enlightenment."
Ni Yangzhou stood up to salute and return the favor, but just as he bent down, a cold hand fell on the back of the boy's hairy head.
Yan Congzhi, who was repeatedly told by his senior brother to care for his disciples, felt a little uncomfortable doing so. He just stroked lightly and then immediately withdrew his hand.
"If you have any more questions, please consult Haoping first. I have something to do and need to go down the mountain tomorrow."
Ni Yangzhou raised his head, a little stunned: "Then when will you come back, Master?"
Yan Congzhi had never told anyone about his schedule. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "About three to five days."
Ni Yangzhou nodded twice and put his heart at ease. The master had always been indifferent and seemed not to be disturbed every time he spoke. When he heard that he was leaving, he thought he would be gone for three to five years, but it was only a few days, so the young man felt relieved.
"Then I wish you a safe journey, everything goes well, and come back soon."
Yan Congzhi listened to these auspicious words that he had never heard before and that only ordinary people would say, and nodded slowly.
Ni Yangzhou bowed again, took his leave and went back to rest.
Just as I reached the door, Yan Congzhi's voice rang out again:
"Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the monastery."
