Chapter 140 The grief-stricken and angry Master Qingxu arrived in the blink of an eye...
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Huang Tianhua became a disciple. The people of Mount Emei, led by Zhao Gongming, took their two disciples Fuli and Shen Gongbao, as well as their two grand-disciples Wukong and Jiang Ziya, and went to Qingfeng Mountain together.
No one knew how Master Qingxu communicated with Huang Feihu and his wife, but Huang Feihu and Jia Danjiao, who had brought their son to become his disciples, looked normal.
Even the Taoist priest Qingxu looked so relieved that the guests who came to watch the ceremony couldn't help but look at him twice. However, due to the large number of people and the mixed conversation, they couldn't ask the questions in their hearts.
But Zhao Gongming didn't care about that. He strode over with his disciples. After Fu Li and others exchanged greetings, Master Qingxu was about to speak to Fu Li when he was stopped by Zhao Gongming.
"Junior Brother Qingxu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's find a place to talk."
True Man Qingxu instinctively felt he shouldn't go with him, but just then True Man Taiyi arrived. He quickly said, "Any time is fine for reminiscing about the past. Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Taiyi is here, I can't help but go greet him."
Facing his relieved face, Zhao Gongming raised an eyebrow and let go of his hand: "Okay, go ahead."
True Man Qingxu ran away without noticing anything. Zhao Gongming looked at his back with a look that was almost pitying.
He was particularly enthusiastic towards Master Taiyi and spoke very loudly: "Oh, Brother Taiyi, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time.
Oh, by the way, didn't Senior Brother go to Chentangguan to recruit disciples? Why didn't you bring my nephew here with you? Many fellow disciples are here today, so it would be great for my nephew to get to know his family."
Taiyi Zhenren was quite shrewd and could tell at a glance that he was talking too much because he felt guilty, but he didn't say anything. He said nonchalantly, "My disciple is still young and it's not time for him to get to know his fellow disciples. In a few years, when he's older, he'll naturally come to pay his respects to your uncle. You'd better prepare a gift for him."
"That's natural, that's natural."
True Man Qingxu thought he had escaped a disaster, so his smile became much more natural. He turned sideways and raised his hand, saying, "Brother, please come in. Many of our colleagues are already here, so it's a good opportunity for us to talk together."
Taiyi Zhenren nodded slightly and followed him for a few steps. Then he saw Zhao Gongming standing on the side of the road with his hands behind his back, looking at him and smiling.
He paused and frowned subconsciously, but saw Zhao Gongming suddenly wink at him and nodded towards Master Qingxu.
The two had been at odds for years because of their apprentice, and whenever they appeared in the same situation, bickering was inevitable.
This is also why when Qingxu wanted to get rid of Zhao Gongming, he saw Taiyi Zhenren coming and felt like he saw a savior.
But Master Qingxu overlooked one thing: the two people who started fighting as soon as they met, although they didn't get along, also had an amazing tacit understanding.
Zhao Gongming only needed to give Taiyi Zhenren a look and a pout, and he immediately understood. His frown relaxed instantly, and a smile with an ambiguous meaning appeared at the corner of his lips.
"So Senior Brother Zhao arrived first, but I was a little late."
Qingxu Zhenren was a little excited: "It's started, it's started! Hurry up, start arguing. If you start arguing, you won't be able to cause trouble to me again!"
Just when he thought he could retreat, his wrist suddenly tightened. It was Taiyi Zhenren who grabbed it and said unhappily, "Junior Brother Qingxu, why didn't you tell me that Senior Brother Zhao was coming? I wasn't even prepared."
True Man Qingxu: "...Preparing for what?"
When you two fight, don't you always start with zero frames? What else do you need to prepare?
Just then, Zhao Gongming also walked over and nonchalantly grasped his other hand, saying with a half-smile, "I think it's been so long since we last met that we've all become estranged from each other. Junior Brother Taiyi, we must catch up with Junior Brother Qingxu."
"Senior Brother Zhao is right." Taiyi Zhenren nodded, his face full of agreement.
True Man Qingxu: "??? No, no, brothers, I still have to greet guests. Let's talk later, later!"
Fu Li appeared from nowhere and said with a smile, "Uncle Master, please go talk to the teachers. I have disciples here to serve you. I will definitely not embarrass you. Uncle Master Daoxing, is that right?"
"That's right. Senior Brother Qingxu, just follow the two senior brothers. With me and my nephew here, there won't be any chaos here." Daoxing appeared out of nowhere, smiled and waved to True Man Qingxu, but that smile looked malicious no matter how you looked at it.
"Daoxing!" Qingxu was furious. He was forced to follow him while jumping up and down and cursing, "You ungrateful person! I've always been so nice to you! Daoxing, just wait for me, just wait for me!"
Taoist Master Daoxing, with his hands on his hips, chuckled and shouted at Qingxu's back, "Brother Qingxu, you'd better get through this hurdle first!"
This was too despicable. Fu Li, who was watching, wanted to beat him up on behalf of Master Qingxu.
But the most urgent task was to receive guests from all directions, so Fu Li pretended not to see them.
While Fu Li and Daoxing Zhenjun were helping Qingxu Zhenren welcome his fellow disciples, Qingxu Zhenren was in dire straits. Zhao Gongming's thinking was unconventional and he felt incredibly accurate; Taiyi Zhenren had a mind as complex as a honeycomb. Under the combined interrogation of these two, Qingxu's secrets, which he had hoped to keep secret, were completely revealed.
It turned out that what happened to him after he returned to Chaoge with Huang Tianhua was exactly what Zhao Gongming had expected.
It would be fine if Huang Tianhua's parents were just ordinary people, but since their son was favored by an immortal, the whole family was eager for this opportunity to become an immortal.
But that's not the case.
Huang Feihu and the current King of Shang are from the same school. They are both direct disciples of Grand Tutor Wen Zhong and are also members of the three religions.
They were all family. If Qingxu came to visit directly and said that he had a connection with Huang Tianhua and wanted to take the child in as his disciple, Huang Feihu would definitely not refuse.
But he refused to take the shortcut and chose to take an unconventional approach. Huang Feihu and his wife Jia Danjiao searched frantically for him for two or three days, and were so anxious that their mouths were foaming. How could they possibly be nice to him?
As soon as the two sides met, Jia Danjiao snatched his son back and carried him into the inner house. Although Qingxu Zhenren was a little unsophisticated, he was also from the Chan Sect and was well versed in the etiquette of all walks of life.
Although the conflicts between men and women in the mortal world are not serious nowadays, there is absolutely no reason to break into someone else's house.
He could only apologize to Huang Feihu humbly and reflect deeply on his mistakes in the hope of gaining his forgiveness.
Huang Feihu ignored him for several days, and later asked his teacher Wen Zhong, and learned that his eldest son Huang Tianhua did have a master-disciple relationship with Qingxu Zhenren. Seeing that the other party's attitude was quite sincere, he finally gave in.
Qingxu was a kind-hearted man. When he saw that Huang Feihu was willing to forgive him, he immediately felt that the matter was over. He asked the other party to keep it a secret for him and not let his fellow disciples know about his miserable condition these days.
After all, his son will study under him in the future. Although Huang Feihu was speechless, he still solemnly agreed.
At that time, Master Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the parties involved did not say anything, no one would ever know about this matter.
But he never expected that there would be two other brothers who were so unkind. One threatened him, the other bribed him, one lied to him, the other cheated him...
Both Zhao Gongming and Taiyi Zhenren are more cunning than him. He can't handle one of them, let alone the two of them working together?
After the two men satisfied their curiosity and mercifully let him go, Master Qingxu seemed to have been hollowed out, and looked at the backs of the two men with a face full of grief and anger.
——Who said these two people don't get along? I won't fall for this kind of trick again!
Aside from this incident, the entire apprenticeship banquet went smoothly. Zhao Gongming and Taiyi Zhenren simply wanted to satisfy their curiosity and had no interest in exposing others' shortcomings in public.
Daoxing Zhenjun was the only one present who was extremely curious. He ran to Zhao Gongming and then to Taiyi Zhenren, pestering them to find out the truth.
But the fact that Daoxing can play with Qingxu shows that the two of them are of similar level. How could he possibly get anything out of Zhao Gongming and Taiyi Zhenren?
Taiyi Zhenren was alright, simply talking around the issue and confusing him with a few words. Zhao Gongming was much worse; not only did he not get anything useful out of him, but he also dug up a lot of embarrassing things he and Qingxu had done.
After this happened over and over again, Fu Li couldn't stand it any longer. She gently tugged at him and advised, "Master, you'd better be quiet. Don't forget, in a few days it will be your turn to accept a disciple. Aren't you afraid that Master Qingxu will cause trouble for you?"
Daoxing Zhenjun's expression changed, he looked at Qingxu warily, and then he completely calmed down.
After he retreated in disgrace, Zhao Gongming shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction: "Li'er, you are too soft-hearted!"
Fu Li smiled and continued to pour him more nectar: ​​"In a few days, Master Daoxing will also become someone else's master, so Teacher will leave him some underwear."
She then asked Wukong to help: "Wukong, your master is angry with me, please help me to say good things."
Wukong was sitting in Zhao Gongming's arms. Upon hearing this, he climbed up using his hands and feet. He stepped on Zhao Gongming's legs with his little feet in cloud-toe boots, put his arms around his neck and started to act coquettishly.
How could Zhao Gongming stand this? He was soon bewitched by his sweet words.
Taiyi Zhenren, who was watching from the side, was jealous and quickly took out a fan-shaped magic weapon from his sleeve. He smiled and teased Wukong: "Little Wukong, this is the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. Doesn't it look good?"
Zhao Gongming scoffed, "It's just a replica. How dare you bring it out?"
Taiyi Zhenren glanced at him condescendingly and sneered, "Do you understand weapon refining? Even imitations are divided into different grades. The one in my hand has 70% of the power of the original."
Zhao Gongming was also surprised when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Really?"
Taiyi Zhenren raised his chin high and said proudly, "Why would I lie to you?"
He naturally has reason to be proud.
You know, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is an innate spiritual treasure. To be able to make an imitation of it have 70% of the power of an innate spiritual treasure, one can imagine how much Taiyi Zhenren practiced in the art of weapons.
Perhaps for a genius, any achievement is insignificant. Everyone around who heard this was shocked, but Taiyi Zhenren didn't care. While Zhao Gongming was stunned, he stretched out his long arms and snatched Wukong into his arms.
"Little Wukong, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
They lived together in Chentangguan for several years. Taiyi Zhenren loved Wukong because Lingzhuzi loved him, and the two of them had become familiar with each other for a long time.
Wukong chuckled and said, "Of course I did. Master, why don't you come with us? And Nezha, why didn't he come?"
Hearing him mention Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren's expression was a little unnatural for a moment, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile: "Nezha's cultivation has reached a critical moment, and he is in seclusion in the quiet room."
