"You're just giving away something that's worth a fortune?"
"Um."
The old Taoist was speechless. "...Did you know that this herb only produces one fruit every fifty years? You will be truly blind from now on."
Xihe raised his hand, covered his face with the straw hat, and said "hmm".
Old Taoist: ...You're still humming!
He rolled his eyes, bit a chicken leg angrily, and chewed it, "I was thinking of letting you inherit my mantle, but you're not even as good as Lu Wensheng now..."
"But, but, I just want to be the master's apprentice."
Lu blinked his eyes when he heard the voice and started to spoil the show.
Taoist priest: ...
She was so angry that she slapped Lu Wensheng on the back of the head: "How can you talk to your master like that?"
Lu Wensheng covered his head with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes: "Master..."
Xihe rolled over, not wanting to bother with the two. Some time ago, the old man took her on a safari, and when they passed a small town, they encountered Lu Wensheng, who had collapsed on the side of the road. The old Taoist, adhering to the principle of having an extra errand runner, swallowed a few sips of water.
Lu woke up after hearing the sound of "cough cough cough" and realized that he had fainted from hunger.
His family has been practicing medicine for generations, but now his parents are both dead. He has no medical skills and cannot see patients, so he can't even eat. His life is really miserable.
"This miserable fate is suitable for me to become a disciple of Tianji!"
The old man's eyes lit up.
However, Lu Wensheng looked down on him and insisted on becoming Xihe's disciple, simply because when they discussed medical skills, every word she said hit the nail on the head. On the other hand, the old man could talk eloquently about astrology and divination, but he was hesitant when talking about medical skills and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xihe didn't respond, but taught him how to treat He Wei.
"If you can learn this, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely study hard!"
Now that He Wei's leg has healed, the boy immediately ran back from Luoyun Villa.
The carriage, padded with thick straw, jolted along the wide road. The old man paused for a moment before yelling, "Disciple, Disciple, do you really not want to learn astrology from me?"
“I won’t learn!”
"Why? Do you know how many people in the martial arts world want to become my disciples?"
He talked about it and mentioned it every day, but she was not moved at all. Old Man Tianji felt a little bit embarrassed, because this was the best candidate he had calculated.
No, it must be that she doesn't know how powerful he is!
Tianji beamed with joy: "As long as you learn astrology, all the secrets of the martial arts world will be revealed to you. Wherever you go, everyone will respectfully address you as 'Old Man Tianji'. You will be given gold, silver, treasures, martial arts manuals, whatever you desire."
"So why are you so poor?"
Tianji: “…”
"I heard you're blind in one eye. Does that reveal too much?"
"Your bone age shows you're no more than thirty, yet people still call you 'old man' and 'old beggar'. How old do you have to be?"
Tianji covered his chest and almost vomited blood.
"You, you, you."
She pointed for a long time, then finally threw her sleeves in anger and said, "I'll take off my makeup tomorrow."
Lu Wensheng: ??? Huh?
At night, the three of them stayed in an inn in the mountains. The owner was a loud-voiced proprietress and a friendly husband. When they saw the three of them, they immediately greeted them warmly.
The inn was filled with noise, filled with people from the martial arts world, all wearing swords and knives and drinking heavily.
Xihe was supported by Lu Wensheng and went upstairs. He heard the words "martial arts competition", "gathering of heroes", and "Luochuan" and wondered if something big had happened in the martial arts world.
"Disciple, are you interested?"
Tianji leaned over.
Xihe pushed it open, his hands covered in oil...he walked in and closed the door in one go.
My nose almost hit the door.
Tianji stared at the closed door, almost cross-eyed.
The next day,
Xihe woke up and smelled the scent of sandalwood.
She paused, stretched out her hand and slapped him. Tianji grabbed his hand and said pitifully, "Disciple, why are you so enthusiastic towards the master so early in the morning?"
The young man spoke in a nonchalant voice, squeezing her hand as he spoke.
Xihe: ...
He pulled it out, but it didn't come back, and he frowned immediately: "Let go!"
Tianji didn't give in. He even leaned forward and fanned his clothes vigorously: "Smell it, isn't it fragrant? This is the heavenly incense from Putuo Temple. I spent many days begging for just a tiny bit from that old bald donkey. Alas, it's a pity that you are blind and can't see the heroic appearance of Master at this moment."
"Come, come, let the master help you change your clothes."
As he spoke, he was about to take action.
Xihe's face turned dark: "Just try and see if you dare to move!"
Tianji snorted twice and let her go: "Master is so good to you, but you still yell at me. Really, you have no respect for your teacher at all. Alas, pity for a handsome man like me..."
Xihe couldn't stand it any longer and threw a pillow at him: "Get out!"
Tianji immediately jumped up and said, "You crazy woman, you are so disrespectful! You will never get married in your lifetime!"
The door is closed.
The house was quiet.
Xihe fumbled to put on her clothes, but as soon as she went out, Tianji laughed at her again: "The bright red and bright green are amazing!"
Xihe was too lazy to pay attention to this lunatic. Lu Wensheng helped her go downstairs to eat. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders and kept falling down when she ate. Tianji muttered, "Why do I have such a sloppy apprentice like you?", and his fingertips moved nimbly to tie her hair into a sideburn.
Xi He moved his hands and lowered his head to continue eating.
In the early morning, the guests in the inn all yawned, took a mouthful of hot noodles, and sighed comfortably.
After dinner, the other guests rode away.
Xihe and others also got on the carriage and followed behind, sleeping in the open air and eating and drinking in the wind and rain, getting closer and closer to Luo City.
"Disciple, I have a headache. Come and massage it for me."
"Are you annoying?"
Pushing him away, Xihe's face wrinkled.
Tianji immediately said, "No! How could a master be annoying? It's only natural for a disciple to serve his master!"
As he spoke, the big head stretched out again.
Xihe was speechless. He pulled Lu Wensheng over and said, "You will be his apprentice from now on!"
Lu Wensheng:???
He said "Oh" obediently, put down the book in his hand, and stepped forward to massage Tianji's shoulders: "Master, let me massage your shoulders!"
The hard hammer head almost knocked his shoulder off. Tianji instantly grimaced and quickly pushed him away: "Get out, get out, who wants you!"
He wants a soft and cute girl, okay!
During the trip, he met a young girl who was traveling alone. Tianji warmly invited her to get in his carriage. The girl stared at the shabby carriage. The skinny old horse looked at it for a while and shook his head firmly: "Thank you for your kindness! But no need."
Carrying the sword on his back, he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tianji looked at the little girl's back and sighed, "She is indeed a child of the Jianghu! So heroic!"
Xihe was too lazy to complain, he just wanted to get to Luocheng as soon as possible and see if he could find the one who almost slipped away while there were so many people around. This secret was too annoying.
