Chapter 15 015 Can't Hide
People at the level of head and elders of Tiandaozong have to go through a formal process to recruit apprentices. At that time, there may be seniors who are not born in the sect quietly watching behind the scenes. After all, recruiting apprentices is also a major matter related to the development of the sect.
The head of Han and one of the deputy chiefs, Mr. Wei Chang, are the same person, and now the two have accepted apprentices at the same time, and everyone speculates that Zuo Qing's ancestor will at least come out of the mountain once.
The fact is indeed the case, not long after Wei Qing and the two came back, the master asked to see them, and by the way, their new apprentice.
In the solemn and solemn Qingfeng Pavilion, sitting first is naturally the master of the two of Han and Wei, the ancestor Zuo Qing who has now reached the stage of crossing the catastrophe.
In the Tribulation Stage, it is only one step away from ascending to immortality, and the years it will enjoy are almost endless. Looking at the entire Tai Chi Continent, there are not many old monsters in the Tribulation Stage. After all, this can already be called a "half immortal".
Perhaps it was precisely because Patriarch Zuo Qing was one of these few people that Han Yi was able to become the head of the sect back then because of this support.
Patriarch Zuo Qing had three direct disciples, two of them were Han Yi and Wei Qing. As for the third person... the patriarch didn't mention it, but every time he mentioned it, he always looked like he hated iron for being weak, so Han and Wei didn't ask much about each other, they only knew that the person should be their senior sister.
Leaving aside how strict the old ancestor was in passing on karma and teaching, he still had nothing to say to his apprentices, so this time he heard that both apprentices had accepted apprentices, so he hurried out to check.
Of course, it would be nice to meet up with disciples and grandchildren by the way.
Han and Wei took their apprentices to salute and then asked the two little guys to introduce themselves. As far as this part is concerned, the two little guys performed well and were very calm.
Patriarch Zuo Qing squinted his eyes and stroked his beard. He was very satisfied with the etiquette of his disciples and grandchildren, and said words of encouragement to the two little guys with their heads down.
Han Yi was standing on the left side of his master. Seeing that the ancestor was going around with all these words, without mentioning the spiritual root at all, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Zuo Qing saw his anxiety in his eyes, but didn't say much. Of course he knew what Han Er Er was worried about, but he only gave him a comforting look.
To be honest, the quality of the spiritual root is second, and the character is the most important. Zuo Qing thinks that at least through these two disciples, he should first talk about the criteria for accepting apprentices.
From such a crude point of view, at least the apprentices accepted are quite polite.
Wei Qing was standing on the right side of Patriarch Zuo Qing, knowing the interaction between his senior brother and Patriarch clearly, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
In the past few days, Ah Wu's injury has just healed, and he has also chosen a good exercise for his apprentice, which is suitable for the practice of the second line of water and wood spiritual roots, but this is so, if the master insists on making a fuss about the spiritual root, he is fine Method.
What's more... Although the young man has been injured and practiced diligently these few days, the rest of the time he always hangs around him and waits on him earnestly, which makes Wei Qing feel a little embarrassed.
But he still can't answer the other party, because every time he has a little meaning of "apprentice don't have to be like this", the boy will always look at him pitifully with his big watery eyes, making him unconsciously look at him. If you refuse, you swallow it back in your stomach.
[Quack quack, Wei Qing, ah Wei Qing, you are definitely going to be eaten up by this kid! 】
Later, even Jiming's stinky system started to make fun of him, well, even though what the other party said was true.
So in the past few days after returning from Baihe Town, Daoist Wei enjoyed the meticulous care of his apprentice with guilt, and spared no effort to teach him, and secretly made up his mind that even if the master disagreed, he would only accept Zhong Wu alone.
Zuo Qing's patriarch naturally also saw the various entanglements of the young apprentice on the other side. He himself was not a pedantic person, but Yi'er was right in saying that this apprenticeship was not only related to Qing'er.
As one of the top sects in the entire Taiji Continent, Tiandaozong, needless to say, has fierce internal power struggles. This has been a customary rule for thousands of years.
It's nothing to fight and fight, but if the power of each peak is out of balance, it will not be a blessing for the entire sect, because an imbalance means that one side will dominate, and dominance means internal power. unstable.
Although Zuo Qing had already withdrawn from the affairs of the sect, he still had feelings for the sect after all, so after the initial words, he still had to persuade a boy with double spiritual roots to quit, and besides that, he had to persuade him Advise his disciples.
Sighing, he slowly stated his decision. As the master of Han and Wei, Patriarch Zuo Qing's opinion on the two of them's apprenticeship is still very convincing.
Wei Qing's eyes widened, he didn't expect his master to speak out his decision so quickly, and immediately stepped forward to try to save him again, but obviously, another person was faster than him.
I saw the young man who was standing below with his head down suddenly raised his head, looked straight at the old man sitting in the high position, his eyes flashed with a dark light, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing: "Is the master so rashly deciding whether to stay or not?"
Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat. His master Zuo Qing Patriarch looked amiable and had no temper, but that was just what he looked like. How could a great man in the tribulation period be a kind person at all?
Sure enough, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura changed slightly, but he was slightly stunned after seeing the young man's face clearly.
"Ning'er?"
Wei Qing heard the master calling softly, like a whisper, but the word "Ning'er" made his heart skip a beat.
Ning'er, Ning'er, he remembered that Awu's birth mother's name was Zhong Ning, and his master's surname was...Zhong, could it be...
Wei Qing, who instantly made up a series of serial dramas in his mind, came back to his senses and saw that the old man, the master, had walked in front of the young man, pressed the other's shoulder, and carefully observed the other's face. The boy seemed to be looking at other people.
Zhong Wu was obviously also shocked by this sudden change, and quickly looked at his master, but seeing the other party looking back at him with a complicated expression, his heart suddenly jumped.
Even Han Yi never expected such a change in the middle, but judging by the current posture, it seems that Master...wouldn't drive this kid away, would he?
In the end, the junior brother still has to accept this kid, the head master Han said that he was speechless.
Next, the other four people present heard their master/grandfather tell a tragic past.
It turned out that the senior sister Han and Wei hadn't seen for a long time was the daughter of Patriarch Zuo Qing. To be honest, Han Yi and Wei Qing looked at each other in dismay when they heard it.
The story that happened later was like in a storybook. A young female cultivator went down the mountain to do a mission, and happened to meet a handsome and talented secular man. The two came together naturally after experiencing a period of hardship.
But how can a cultivator be with a worldly person?As a father and master, Zuo Qing naturally disapproved of this relationship, but he never thought that his daughter would rather abolish her cultivation to be with that man, and he severed the father-daughter relationship in a fit of rage .
"...When your mother sneaked down the mountain, she was afraid that I would catch up with you and put medicine in my tea. When I woke up, she didn't know where she was going with that brat." Zuo Qing sighed, The expression is tired.
He also met that man back then, but it was a pity that he was so angry that he didn't listen to any explanations or pleas at all. If he wasn't too decisive, Ning'er would not have left so simply.
Looking at this young man now, he looks almost like Ning'er, but his eyes and demeanor are the same as his annoying father.
It is more difficult for a cultivator to reproduce in the later stages. Zuo Qing's "old man" came to have a son, so he naturally loved this daughter. He is so angry.
But now... Now that more than ten years have passed, he has already calmed down, and the only thing left is endless longing for his daughter.
So the old ancestor held onto the young man's hand with one hand, led him to the high seat and sat down, and asked earnestly, "Son, tell grandpa, how is your mother doing now?"
No matter what the child did was right or wrong back then, now he just wants to know how the other party is doing well.
After the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a while. Wei Qing knew what was going on behind the He family. If he said the words at this time, he really didn't know what Master would do.
Zhong Wu obviously also understood this point, his eyes fell, just falling on the wrinkled hand of the old man holding his own, and said lightly: "Don't worry about my ancestors, my mother is doing well, but I don't want to dwell on the past. I just want to stay in a secular home for the rest of my life.”
"Then does she have anything to tell me?" Patriarch Zuo Qing asked anxiously, and then realized that the young man just called himself "Patriarch", not Grandpa.
In the final analysis, did the previous words hurt the boy?
Zhong Wu raised his eyes to look at the old man, and saw that his face was uneasy, obviously coercive but suppressed to death, seeing the helpless and hesitant look in his eyes, his heart was still soft.
After all, this man is also his grandfather, and he is also Master's master. He can't say any harsh words, and he can't tell the cruel truth, so he can only tell one white lie after another.
The old man who got his daughter's "exhortation" laughed like a simple child who got candy. Wei Qing felt a little sad when he saw it, but he was still very grateful that Ah Wu didn't tell the truth.
"Grandpa, in fact, it is my mother's intention that I followed Master to come to Tiandaozong to practice Taoism." Zhong Wu called him around, and he really attracted the attention of the overjoyed ancestor Zuo Qing.
After he was overjoyed, he realized what he had said before, Zuo Qing patriarch repeatedly said: "It turns out, it seems that Ning'er still has a heart, but she is destined to have no way... Well, if you can complete your mother's There is no regret in my wish."
"What did grandpa say earlier?" The young man took advantage of the victory and pursued.
As expected, Patriarch Zuo Qing fell into the trap, nodded and said: "Of course what I said earlier doesn't count, I can rest assured that Qing'er can teach you."
Han Yi, who witnessed the whole process on the side, was stunned. Why did he feel that this little guy is as good at fooling people as his junior brother?
But before he could say anything, the old ancestor's leisurely glance made him stop, well, the master has made up his mind, and nothing he said will work.
On the contrary, Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon realized that it was too early to breathe.
Hearing the pleasantries and chatting between the grandfather and grandson, Zuo Qing Patriarch suddenly asked: "'Zhong Wu' is your name, do you have a word for it?"
As for why his grandson's surname is Zhong, the old man has no doubts at all. It seems that it is because his daughter is very popular, and it seems to be an honor for the man to have his grandson take his surname.
Zhong Wu secretly glanced at the master next to him. In fact, he didn't even have this name, but obviously, he couldn't say this, otherwise his previous lies would be in vain.
"Never." So the young man thought for a while, and could only give such a relatively safe answer.
Patriarch Zuo Qing sighed, and figured out that his daughter had actually kept this word for him to distort the facts. He patted the young man's head, his brows were full of love.
"In this case, grandpa will give you a word, how about 'Li Shuo'? Zhong Li Shuo?"
Wei Qing, who was listening quietly at the side, suddenly raised his head, alarm bells rang in his mind, and even the way he looked at the boy changed.
At the same time, there was another "ding" in his mind, and an unfamiliar mechanical sound sounded without any waves——
[Congratulations to the host for completing 20.00%20.00 of the first task, and the protagonist’s joy has increased by [-]%. It is currently [-]%[-]. I hope the host will continue to work hard and achieve better results! 】
At this moment, Wei Qing felt that his world... collapsed.
