Chapter 46: The last time for the face pinching card to expire
After standing still, he scanned the empty mahogany box and found nothing there. Lin Zhusheng's eyes met the slightly surprised look of the Great Elder. Finally, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Stinky...Great Elder, where is my brand?"
This person must have wanted to call me a stinky old man just now.
The corners of the old man's mouth under his beard fell back, his beard was blown up with anger, he opened his eyes, took out a jade token from his sleeve, raised his hand and threw it over.
Although he was angry, he took out the jade token very quickly.
Lin Zhusheng took it, looked at it for a while, and carefully compared it with the jade plaque in the second elder's mahogany box next to it, and said, "Why do they look different?"
Both the ones on the left and right are made of jade, and the jade plaques are almost the same. The one on the hand seems to be more complicated, with an extra flower carved on it.
Like a pirated copy. He suspected that the Great Elder was fooling him.
The awkward elder was still puffing his beard, and finally the sect leader next to him came to his senses and pointed out: "This is the jade token of the direct disciple."
He laughed, and as he put away the jade token of his disciple from the box, he said, "I didn't expect that the Great Elder would find it."
He prepared a jade token in his sleeve, indicating that he had wanted to take in disciples from the very beginning, but he just didn't tell them. The man who had never actively accepted disciples suddenly made such a move, which really caught them off guard.
The first disciple he accepted was a direct disciple, and it seems that he might be the only disciple he received.
very good. Lin Zhusheng quietly withdrew his suspicion of the Great Elder.
He instantly became a direct disciple, because the great elder had never accepted a disciple before, he inexplicably became the elder's first disciple. He started working right after receiving the jade pendant, and was placed beside the elder to be responsible for helping to issue jade cards to ordinary disciples.
The next one to have the right to make his own choice is Fox Eyes.
According to people's dream of suppressing Song Ming, Lin Zhusheng felt that the other party should choose to become a disciple of the sect master. Leaning his hand against the back of the great elder's chair, he turned the jade token in his hand and watched the person approaching.
——Then stopped in front of the table of the great elders.
"?"
The newly-minted master and apprentice looked at the man with two pairs of wise eyes, bowed solemnly, and said in a resounding voice: "Please let me learn from the elder and senior brother!"
It took Lin Zhusheng a long time to realize that the senior brother in the conversation was referring to him. He felt helpless and confused for a moment, and the jade token stopped spinning. He opened his eyes and looked for help at the senior brother next to him. After a long while, he uttered a sound: "Ah?"
The eldest senior brother coughed lightly and said with his head down, "In terms of status, direct disciples should be regarded as the elders."
It is polite to call someone "senior brother". Once his fellow disciple became his junior brother, Lin Zhusheng was so frightened by the word "senior brother" that he trembled for a moment.
Because of his status as the head of Jingsi Hall, no disciple had ever taken the initiative to jump into the fire pit and choose him when he made his own choice. The truth was that the Great Elder had only prepared one jade token for his own disciples and one jade token for the disciples randomly assigned to his peak, and there was no extra one.
After talking with the eldest disciple, Lin said that he was a stinky old man who didn't know how to prepare well and asked him to borrow a jade token from the leader of the next sect. Then he turned around and persuaded Fox Eyes to calm down.
It's easy to guess that after yesterday's competition, people's target has changed from Song Ming to him. He and he are under the same elder probably because they want to use the counterattack script to become an existence that surpasses him.
Victory or defeat and pride are another matter. At this time, it is best to put aside personal grudges temporarily and choose a place that suits you.
"I want to study with my senior brother!"
After persuading him for a long time, Fox Eyes bent down again and said seriously: "I gained a lot from the competition with Senior Brother yesterday. I suddenly realized that I was wrong to say bad things before. I was too shallow. I will practice diligently in the future. I hope Senior Brother will not despise me!"
Lin Zhusheng: “…Ah?”
A completely unexpected direction. He was frightened again and again, and he almost jumped directly onto the senior brother next to him, his hand already pinching the corner of the person's clothes.
On one side, Fox Eyes was making a confession of self-reflection, on the other side he was struggling with the eldest senior brother's clothes, and the Great Elder was still trying to borrow the jade token from the sect leader. The scene was in chaos.
The Great Elder finally borrowed the jade token, which was handed to Fox Eyes by Lin Zhusheng.
Fox Eyes was visibly happy when he got the disciple's jade token. He bent down and expressed his gratitude again.
[Hu Li's favorability +5 (95/100)]
I don’t know when the favorability level has quietly passed the 90th level, and Lin Zhusheng’s eyes jumped violently.
Things became much simpler after the ten disciples who had the right to choose independently. The disciples assigned to each elder went to receive the corresponding jade tokens according to the list.
The only surprise among the rest was Zhang Jing. Because of his talent in drawing talismans, the fifth elder who was proficient in talisman formations made an exception and accepted him as his personal disciple.
A very successful class. There were four direct disciples in one class, which was more than the total number of previous classes. There are too many talented people, and those disciples who fail to enter the inner gate just happen to be unlucky.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, there is a two-day transition period, which is used for the new inner disciples to move in and get familiar with the inner sect.
After running around in the game, Lin Zhusheng has become very familiar with the inner door, and the most important thing is moving.
From the elders to the senior brothers to the friends, everyone thought he had difficulty in moving and wanted to help, but he refused them all.
He had a lot of stuff, but his sword was big enough, so he could easily pack up the flowers and plants in the yard and take them away with one sword.
The name of the peak given by the Great Elder is extremely simple. It is directly called Jingsi Peak, following the name of Jingsi Hall. His direct disciples live at the foot and middle of the mountain, while he himself lives alone on the top of the mountain. He also lived on the top of the mountain in the past.
The Great Elder had already arranged a place for me to live, which was in the side hall closest to the main hall. It was several times larger than the previous place I lived in. My living standard instantly improved, and I finally felt like a direct disciple.
As soon as the kitten landed, it ran to inspect its new territory. Lin Zhusheng didn't expect it to help and moved things into the room by himself.
Looking out the window of the room, you can see the bamboo forest in the distance and the yard nearby which has obviously been turned over.
In a large yard, all the weeds have been cleared away, and the flowers and plants can be planted directly at the bottom.
There was a ready-made yard, and since the move was put on hold, he went to tidy up the yard.
The great elder came to watch him messing around in the yard. The more he watched, the more his brows raised. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "You have so much grass?"
Lin Zhusheng not only had grass, but also saplings. He pointed in a direction and asked the elder politely, "Are there any plans for that area over there?"
When the question was asked, the place was already destined to belong to him.
There were only two of them living on the top of the mountain, and the great elder would not interfere as long as they did not plant grass in the house. He planned his future orchard beautifully.
After moving house and doing some yard work, the entire afternoon passed.
At night, thinking that he was alone on the top of the mountain, Lin Zhusheng was just about to prepare dinner when the chief elder who usually lived in Jingsi Hall came back.
The dinner for one person and one cat turned into dinner for two people and one cat. After the meal, he remembered something and poured a cup of tea for the great elder.
The elder looked over and asked, "Isn't there a tradition of paying respect to the master through tea?"
There is tea for paying homage to the master, but it should not be like this, where you pour a cup of tea after a meal. The elder took the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "So casual?"
"As long as we drink tea, it doesn't matter," Lin Zhusheng smiled, "We are just friends, as long as the feelings are there."
The most disciplined person ended up accepting the most undisciplined apprentice. The elder finished the tea in the cup and patted him on the head, "You little bastard."
Lin Zhusheng did not resist this time. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Just shoot it, old man. If you shoot yourself silly, you won't get first place in the next test, and it will be your own shame."
He had not even finished the cup of tea in his hand when the great elder chased him around the room.
While running, he tried to take a sip of tea and tried to change the subject, asking, "Isn't the Great Elder going to the Jingsi Hall today?"
The Great Elder will not go to Jingsi Hall today. He has moved back to the peak and will only go to Jingsi Hall in the morning and part of the afternoon.
The first day of moving to the peak ended with the master and his apprentice chasing each other all over the house.
Still thinking about planting his own sapling, Lin Zhusheng woke up early the next morning. When he woke up, he found a package outside the house and scattered bluebird feathers around it.
It was another gift from the hardworking bluebird, and at least it didn't expose his secret this time. He paused in digging the ground to plant the saplings and took the package into the house.
The kittens who had just woken up came over and watched with half-open sleepy eyes.
It was the attire of inner sect disciples, a white inner lining with a pale blue outer robe, with faint silver embroidery. From the appearance, it looked much more refined than the previous clothes.
It was inconvenient to move around in the inner sect wearing the outer sect disciple's clothes, so he changed into them.
He has his own unique pair of magical hands, which can always turn magic into decay. No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they will become strange in his hands.
The kitten watched from the side, and its eyes, which had been opened with energy, drooped more and more as it looked. Finally, it couldn't help but wipe its face, thinking that it shouldn't have had any expectations from the beginning.
Putting aesthetics aside, being able to dress well is a victory. Nongfu Lin put on the new disciple uniform, walked out of the gate, and went to water the flowers and plants in his yard before the sun rose.
On the days when he practiced sword-fighting, he slept soundly, and on the days when he rested, he woke up earlier than the chickens.
There was another elder who also got up earlier than the chickens and started practicing sword skills early in the morning. Lin Zhusheng should not have been curious and should not have taken a look at him with the watering can after watering the flowers.
Just a glance and he was caught by the great elder. The spray bottle in his hand turned into a sword. For some unknown reason, he started practicing sword on his day off, and there was an overseer beside him teaching him step by step.
Because it was a one-on-one match, there was no chance for him to slack off. He practiced the swordplay thoroughly and completely with unprecedented efficiency.
With the long sword on his waist, he sat down directly on the sword training ground, exhaled a breath that felt like he was about to die.
Practicing a set of sword skills was more tiring than climbing several mountains. Song Ming didn't have any extra energy. He would talk about planting trees later.
He sat in a completely ungraceful manner. The head of Jingsi Hall had a professional attack of his illness and just as he was about to speak, he took the lead in handing out the freshly made dim sum from last night.
Very good, the elder took the snacks and said nothing.
Lin Zhusheng also took a snack for himself and sat on the ground watching the early morning light leap out from the distant mountains.
The Great Elder stood at the side, followed his line of sight, and said, "That is the Sect Master Peak."
The main peak.
"etc."
Lin Zhusheng paused while chewing the snack, raised his eyes, and asked for confirmation: "I can enter and exit all places in the inner gate now, right? The sect master peak is also considered the inner gate, right?"
The Great Elder nodded and asked, "What?"
Lin Zhusheng was fine, he just suddenly remembered that he could go find his senior brother anytime now.
And now he is going to find his senior brother. Pulling out his great sword, he waved to the Great Elder and said, "I'm going to go play with my eldest brother and I'll be back when I'm done."
At the end, he stuffed a bag of snacks into the person's hand and said, "This is today's lunch. Remember to eat it after you go to Jingsi Hall."
After stuffing his mouth with snacks, he quickly drew his sword and fled.
Before the Great Elder had the chance to ask what the Senior Brother was talking about, the huge sword shadow in the air had already flown towards the Sect Master's Peak.
Looking down at the pocket in his hand which was still slightly warm, he opened it and took a look, and found that it was a snack with two fruit after the meal.
——
After practicing sword for half a day, Lin Zhusheng suddenly decided to go find his senior brother. The fact is that his hands started to ache in the second half of the flight.
The place where the eldest senior brother lived now was different from the one they lived together before. He flew around the mountain twice before he finally found it.
Or maybe the eldest senior brother, who had just finished practicing sword skills, spotted him first and was not supposed to be here, so he took the initiative to signal him to go down.
The other person also lived on the top of a mountain. When he was close to the ground, his last bit of stamina was exhausted, and he jumped directly off the sword.
He jumped so suddenly that the eldest brother was obviously stunned and quickly stepped forward to catch it.
“Wow——”
The big sword fell to the ground, and when the wind sounded, Lin Zhusheng fell into a familiar embrace.
Wen Baizhou caught the man and took two steps back to stop. He did not dare to move or loosen his hands around the man's waist and head, and asked, "What happened?"
"I came to play with you."
This was quite comfortable. Lin Zhusheng took the opportunity to put his hands on the shoulders of his senior brother and dangled in the air, not afraid of falling. He briefly said, "I was forced by the elder to practice swordplay for a long time this morning, and I'm a little exhausted."
After wandering around enough, he patted his eldest brother's hand, landed lightly, and picked up the big sword on the ground.
When he stood up, the eldest senior brother kindly helped him and helped him stand up easily.
The wrist he was holding was not released, and the person in front of him led him into the courtyard, asking as they walked: "Have you eaten?"
"I ate it. I just ate it. I'm very full."
Originally he wanted to remind himself not to let go of his hand, but the question interrupted him. Lin Zhusheng instantly forgot what he was thinking about and turned to look at the courtyard.
It's a very large place with a sword training ground in the yard and some landscape plants. After walking through a small bamboo forest, you can see the main entrance of the residence.
Pushing the door open with one hand, the eldest senior brother led him into the residence.
The place we lived in was similar to the house we lived in together before. It was very simple and didn't have too many things. The sunlight came through the windows and fell on the wooden tables, chairs and floor, adding a bit of warmth.
Lin Zhusheng turned around and finally remembered something. He turned left and right in front of the man and said, "The clothes that Bluebird sent this morning look very similar to yours, don't they?"
He turned, and the hem of his clothes moved with him, and the blue satin flashed for a moment in the light.
Wen Baizhou looked at him twice more, his eyes finally stopped at the clothes that looked strange no matter how he looked at them, and asked the question he had been asking from the beginning: "The way you dress seems to be a little special."
More than a little special.
When this question was mentioned, Lin Zhusheng looked left and right, and made up his mind to lower his voice, lean over and confess in a low voice that he actually didn't know how to dress.
“…”
"Not likely" is an understatement. In fact, there is no need to be honest. Wen Baizhou can roughly tell it when he looks at it normally.
He asked, "Can I help you?"
"Um?"
Waste Lin, who had originally reconciled with his useless hand and planned to live with it for the rest of his life, raised his head, his eyes lit up, and said, "Is it okay?"
Seeing this expression, no one can refuse.
Wen Baizhou answered directly with action. He said "excuse me" and bent down to touch the person's collar.
Lin Zhusheng was taken to sit on the table. The only thing he had to do was to sit still and not move. He lowered his head and watched the person in front of him untie the various knots that he had worked so hard to tie this morning.
The blue robe slipped from his shoulders and piled on the table, but he was unaware of it and was still watching his senior brother teaching him how to get dressed.
“…”
All I can say is that every dunk is in an unexpected place.
At first he felt like he was mentally retarded and began to doubt himself.
When I saw the latter part, I felt that I must be a genius. I actually managed to make every button and knot be in the right place, and even though the mistakes were different each time, the appearance was still acceptable.
He thought so and said so, and gave himself a thumbs up, saying, "I'm really awesome."
The robe that had slipped off was put back on his shoulders, and the eldest brother began to put it on him. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.
Every time the eldest senior brother laughed at Lin Zhusheng, he would be pleased and would speak his mind. He would raise his thumb again and praise him.
Wen Baizhou was bending down to tie his belt. Hearing this, he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on the light-colored pupils, and he also praised them for being beautiful.
It wasn't a casual compliment, and he wasn't the type to give compliments. He looked serious and really thought it was pretty.
This was the first time that he was praised for his meticulous face-sculpting and his skills were recognized. AAA professional face-sculpting and face-changing master Lin was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "I think so too."
wrong.
After laughing and touching his face, he suddenly realized something and stretched out his fingers to start counting urgently.
His expression turned serious. His hand tying the belt paused, and Wen Baizhou asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhusheng was incompetent at counting fingers, and the more he counted, the more confused he became. So he asked him, "How long have we known each other?"
"Ten years..." Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and changed his words in time, "May 3rd."
It's been five months.
The face-pinching card is valid for 180 days, which is six months, and it is less than a month away.
Shocked to the point of ignoring why the senior brother could remember the time so clearly, Lin Zhusheng slapped his carefully sculpted face and felt for the first time that time could pass so quickly.
Although he still hasn't remembered what this face looks like, it doesn't stop him from liking the fruits of his labor and being reluctant to part with them.
