Chapter 54: Accepting gifts from worshippers and disciples

If you think about it, it's really scary for a baby to sleep for three days and three nights.

Her mother must have been afraid that she had slept too long and forgotten to eat, so she was anxious to wake her up.

The filial daughter Li Zhou quickly took out "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones", separated a part of her consciousness, sank it into the body of the baby Li Zhou, opened her eyes, and looked at the person who was shaking her.

Sure enough, what caught her eyes was Xiangxiang's mother's worried face.

The baby Li Zhou buried his head in his mother's arms. She didn't care about the nun who was wearing a bright red cassock and gaudy clothes underneath, or Li Sheng who was muttering something.

"... I told you, there's no way our daughter could be sick. She might be just like the one in the storybook, slaying demons and eating ghosts in her dreams..."

The baby Li Zhou ignored his father's complaints. The clan leader Li Zhou felt the baby's body touching his mother. The warm embrace made her so comfortable that she just wanted to roll around and didn't want to care about anything.

She didn't say anything, which seemed a little scary in Hei Wuchang's eyes.

He felt an urging voice coming from the underworld in his mind, and Hei Wuchang's face became as long as a horse-faced demon. "Hurry, hurry, hurry, why don't you come up and talk to the sect leader yourself?"

Just let a small pawn like him do such a thankless task?

Is there anyone who becomes an official like this?

Hei Wuchang felt bitter, but he didn't have the courage to really go against the Lord of the Mansion. After hearing the urging for the third time, he spoke helplessly: "Master, Master, please take a look at the matter of the Young Lord of the Mansion..."

In the Li residence, a nun wearing gaudy clothes and calling herself Lechen said at the same time: "Two donors, since your daughter has woken up, can you reconsider the matter of her becoming your disciple?"

Baby Li Zhou turned to look at the nun. Why were they talking about becoming a disciple here too? Wait, it seemed like she wanted to learn by herself, and was crying and making a fuss, begging her mother to find a teacher.

Just as she remembered, she felt Yue Niang hug her tighter and whispered in her ear, "Zhou'er, do you like this nun? Are you willing to let her be your teacher?"

The baby Li Zhou observed Master Chen carefully, and Sect Leader Li Zhou slapped his forehead in his heart, she had learned it, let the child choose who he wants to follow.

Looking up at the shadow of Ji Rui quietly following behind Hei Wuchang, Sect Leader Li Zhou put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Let Ji Rui decide for himself."

If Ji Rui still likes the Lord...

The expression of clan leader Li Zhou remained unchanged, but the baby Li Zhou did not need to force himself to remain calm. He turned his head and buried it in Yue Niang's arms, sobbing.

Just thinking about being rejected makes me sad.

Nun Lechen, who was originally quite confident: "..."

Mr. Li, who couldn't understand what his daughter was thinking, said: "..."

Yue Niang was also confused, but she did not stop herself from feeling sorry for her daughter. She quickly patted the baby Li Zhou on the back and said, "If you don't want this teacher, just tell me. Zhou, don't cry. You are here."

She raised her eyes to look at Master Chen, and remembered what Master Chen said at the beginning, "somewhat skilled in fighting and kicking", and narrowed her eyes: "Mother will never let anyone hurt you."

Sensing the will of heaven, Master Liaochen really gave up trying to subdue Li Zhou and only wanted to stay by her side and observe her closely: "..."

Just when Master Lechen was racking his brains over how to get the Li family to keep her, Yuan Jirui's shadow had already knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the sect leader Li Zhou, performing the formal ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Yuan Jirui said in a sonorous voice: "I stayed in Longgou Village just to wait for the arrival of Master. Master, please accept me as your disciple on behalf of Master."

Hei Wuchang was stunned when he heard this: "You you you..."

Since ancient times, when seeking the truth and becoming a disciple, only the teacher has the right to speak. How can the students act on their own?

This kid didn't say a word just now, it turns out he had such a big trick up his sleeve.

Sect Master Li Zhou's expression did not change much, and he remained calm and composed: "In this case, I will accept a disciple on behalf of my junior sister. Ji Rui, you will be the first disciple of the sword cultivator Gongsun Ying in the future. When your senior sister comes, you can go back to Xili Mountain with her to meet your master."

Yuan Jirui kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master."

Sect leader Li Zhou nodded slightly.

There were still tears on the baby Li Zhou's face, but his mouth was already wide open. He looked up at Yue Niang and said innocently, "Mother, I just want to see what the nun is capable of and how she is going to teach me."

Yueniang: "..."

Poor child, why are you crying?

My mother has said all the harsh words.

Now isn't this a bit embarrassing?

Yue Niang poked the baby Li Zhou's nose in complaint. Seeing her innocent smile, her heart softened again. She couldn't bear to say anything more about her. She turned to look at Master Chen and smiled shyly: "Look at this child, she has her own ideas. If you don't mind, Master Chen, why don't you show us your magical powers?"

Master Liaochen is the abbess of Yehe Temple, one of the five orthodox religions in the world. Countless people have cried and begged to become her disciples. This is the first time that she has had such a hard time accepting a disciple.

But compared with the child's extraordinary qualities, Master Liaochen was willing to put aside her pride and accept the child as her disciple, even if she had to use all her skills.

Just as Master Lechen began her performance, no, presentation, Hei Wuchang was already scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety, thinking hard about how to snatch Shao Fujun back to the underworld.

While he was rushing to pass on the news to the underworld, he tried to delay time: "This is only one of the young master's souls, it is not complete yet. Master, can you wait until her three souls return to their positions and her spirit is complete before listening to her answer again?"

Sect leader Li Zhou glanced at Yuan Jirui, whose face was full of firm admiration, and laughed at Hei Wuchang in his heart, saying that it was not enough to lose face once, he wanted to lose it again.

She nodded confidently and said calmly, "Yes."

I tried it a few more times and got the same result, not at all false.

As they were talking, the carriage carrying Cong'er's family and Ji Rui's family had already galloped over.

The shadow of Ji Rui beside Hei Wuchang shook and suddenly disappeared the moment the carriage appeared in everyone's sight.

Hei Wuchang was sweating coldly as he stared at the stopped carriage. The curtain was opened by someone inside, and two children, one big and one small, came out. They ran to the leader, Li Zhou, hand in hand, and their clear voices overlapped:

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

"Yuan Jirui pays respect to the headmaster."

It's over.

Hei Wuchang looked as dead as a tree, staring blankly at Shaofujun, whose spirit had returned to his original state and whose original intention remained unchanged. In his mind, he heard the reply from the underworld: "Stay in Duotian Sect and look for an opportunity to take Rui'er away. Once that's done, you'll be given ten years off."

ah?

The entire underworld is deserted, right?

Stay in Duotian Sect?

You don't even dare to let them come over as guests, yet you let me stay in their lair.

Besides, would they be willing?

For the first time, Hei Wuchang felt that being a ghost messenger was such a hopeless job.

In his opinion, the ten-year vacation was just a pie in the sky made by the Lord.

If I really stay in the Duotian Sect, it is hard to say whether I can survive for ten days.

Li Zhou naturally could not feel the despair that Hei Wuchang felt.

The moment after the two disciples formally became her disciples, a prompt "Do you want to end this simulation?" popped up on the floating interface in front of her.

It seems that for the simulator, Li Zhou, who has a base and disciples, has achieved the goal of "establishing a sect".

However, before taking his disciples back to Xili Mountain to familiarize themselves with the mountain gate and arrange their practice progress, the responsible Li Zhou did not click to end immediately.

She motioned for Ji Rui and Cong'er to stand up and was about to make some arrangements.

In front of the baby Li Zhou, Master Liaochen turned over her hand, and a bellyband with gold edges, white silk and red lining appeared in her palm.

"This move is called telekinesis." Master Lechen handed over the bellyband with a smile. The bellyband seemed to have its own spirituality. As soon as it left her hand, it flew to Li Zhou and replaced her original bellyband.

It turned out that Master Liaochen showed off this skill not only to demonstrate her own abilities, but also to give a natural gift of meeting.

Others were apprentices preparing gifts to pay their respects to their teachers, but who would have thought that when it came to Li Zhou, the teacher would have to find a way to give her a gift.

However, except for Mr. Li who had a strange look on his face, no one else present noticed anything wrong.

Li Zhou felt that no matter what magical effects this bellyband had, she was so cute and smart, how could she not be worthy of it?

Yue Niang thought that her daughter was a natural genius, and the nun might be secretly happy if she had the chance to become her teacher.

The mother and daughter looked at the beauty of the bellyband for a long time but did not expect to reply to Master Chen.

Master Liaochen's face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled slightly. Fortunately, she was fully prepared.

Since this precious robe of shark silk and crimson gauze, which is warm in winter and cool in summer and can withstand the full force attack of the Golden Body Arhat, failed to impress the future disciple.

What about this Pure Cloud Sound Vajra necklace that can ward off water and fire and drive away evil and poison?

Once again, Master Liaochen took something from the air and a gorgeous necklace inlaid with golden jewels appeared in her palm.

Yue Niang and Li Sheng considered themselves to be quite wealthy, but they were still dazzled by the collar and almost embarrassed themselves in front of the nun.

Upon seeing this, Master Liaochen felt secretly proud and explained its effects one by one. She was satisfied to see the two people's astonished expressions.

But the final decision still lies in the hands of the future disciple.

Nun Liaochen looked at Li Zhou in Yue Niang's arms, but found that the latter seemed to be lost in thought, without any sign of being dazzled by wealth and fame.

After all, they are still children, so it is normal that they cannot see the value of this treasure...

Master Liaochen's heart skipped a beat, and she then hurried to comfort herself.

She didn't know that the baby Li Zhou was staring at the treasure she gave him, while the sect leader Li Zhou suddenly thought that they were all going to be teachers, but she seemed to have not prepared any gifts for her disciples.

The somewhat guilty Sect Master Li Zhou quickly turned his head to think about what he could give as a gift. Yuan Jirui in front of him had already bowed to her and said respectfully, "Jirui has been waiting in Longgou Village for so many years, not only to wait for the Master and the Sect Leader, but also to watch over a seriously injured blood dragon here. This blood dragon has been hiding in the village to heal its wounds for seven or eight years. It often steals chickens and ducks, thinking that no one knows. Little did it know that I have been watching it."

In Longgou Village, upon hearing her words, the blood-colored ravine trembled slightly, and a faint angry roar was heard.

Yuan Jirui raised his head and continued calmly, "Today, I would like to present this dragon to the headmaster and master as a gift of apprenticeship."

It seems reasonable to pay a tuition fee to become a disciple.

But why do I have to accept gifts when I become a disciple and when I accept a disciple?

I'm so overwhelmed with gifts.

The baby Li Zhou looked down at the golden collar that Master Chen had put around her neck, and the sect leader Li Zhou looked up at the blood dragon rising into the sky, and Yuan Jirui who turned and walked towards it.

Sect leader Li Zhou felt a little embarrassed and was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered that his Shanhai Pavilion had just a name and was still empty without any demons.

Then wouldn't this blood dragon be a perfect place to put it in?

this……

Sect leader Li Zhou shut his mouth.

Who can refuse this?
