Chapter 52 Meeting Guests

The scenery in the courtyard was different from what the three people had imagined. It was quiet, but seemed very casual.

The pool and the scenery were just ordinary and unique, without any fluctuations of spiritual power, not like the residence of a great monk.

Mr. Zhuang was also different from what they imagined. Although he had a handsome and suave appearance and had experienced the vicissitudes of life, he seemed to lack the temperament they imagined.

Aunt Xue looked respectful and thought secretly in her heart.

Before leaving, the lady showed her a portrait. The man in the painting stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, like a fairy sword with all its sharp edges. The kind of arrogant and domineering aura that looked down on the world and was the only one in the world was almost too great to look at directly.

Today, Mr. Zhuang was lying on a bamboo chair, swaying leisurely, and looked very... lazy.

If you hadn't seen the portrait, you would hardly believe that it was the same person.

Despite this, Aunt Xue didn't dare to despise him at all. She respectfully handed a token and a jade slip to Mr. Zhuang.

"Before leaving, Madam asked me to give you this token and this letter, saying that you will know it once you see it."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the token, then the jade slip, and chuckled:

"Really my good junior sister, she still cares about me even in this situation, and never forgets to cause trouble for me."

Mr. Zhuang turned to look at Aunt Xue, "Tell your wife a message when you have time, women who calculate too much will get old easily."

Aunt Xue lowered her head and dared not answer.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi again, nodded and said: "Both have excellent qualifications, worthy of being..." Mr. Zhuang stopped halfway through his words.

Aunt Xue didn't know what Mr. Zhuang wanted to say, but seeing Mr. Zhuang praising Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi's qualifications, she couldn't help but show joy, "Then Mr...."

"I don't accept direct disciples, at most a nominal disciple." Mr. Zhuang put down the jade slip, "If you are willing, stay, if you are not willing, go back."

This was within the expectations of the lady. Aunt Xue remembered what the lady said before she left:

"My senior brother is stubborn by nature. He will definitely do what he promised. If he doesn't agree, no matter how much he begs, it will be useless. But he will also be soft-hearted. As long as He gave in and slowly persuaded them. If he couldn't be a direct disciple, he could just be a nominal disciple. If he couldn't be a nominal disciple, he could stay and serve tea and water. As long as he thought of the relationship, he would accept Zixi and Zisheng sooner or later. "

Auntie Xue said hurriedly: "It is a heaven-sent opportunity to be accepted as a nominal disciple by the master. How could I not be willing?"

"Well," Mr. Zhuang nodded, "then the vulgar ceremony will be omitted, just call me "Master". "

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi knelt down and bowed to Mr. Zhuang, shouting "Greetings, Master".

Mr. Zhuang looked at the two children, his expression was dazed for a moment.

I vaguely saw two children, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, paying respect to a white-haired old man. I could still hear the childish voice of the children, "Greetings, Master."

Mr. Zhuang came back to his senses, a trace of self-mockery flashed across his face, and then said:

"I don't have so many rules here. Your mother's attainments in formations are not low. She should have taught you what she should have taught. You are also past the age of formation enlightenment, and you have more or less some foundation. Just learn by yourself. If you have any questions, come and ask me, but one thing, don't disturb me from closing my eyes to understand the truth."

"I have another registered disciple here, named Mo Hua. You should have met him. You should get along well with each other."

After saying that, Mr. Zhuang waved his hand, "Go down. Go up the mountain at Chenshi every day and go down the mountain at Youshi. The rest of the time is up to you. If you don't understand, go to Mo Hua."

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi bowed and left. The three of them left the bamboo house and came to the yard.

Auntie Xue felt that things were going more smoothly than she thought, and it was smooth and a little casual.

And for some reason, Mr. Zhuang had not seen them before, but after these days, he was willing to see them again, and he simply accepted Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi as apprentices.

Aunt Xue frowned in confusion.

"Is it really as Mo Hua said, Mr. Zhuang's actions depend on opportunities, Mr. Zhuang did not see him, it was not the opportunity, and now he has seen him, it must be the opportunity?"

Aunt Xue walked and walked, and saw Mo Hua lying on a small table under the big locust tree, reading the formation book seriously.

Aunt Xue felt that there must be something unusual about Mo Hua to be accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Zhuang, and Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng also wanted to know what Mr. Zhuang taught.

The three walked in front of Mo Hua and found that Mo Hua was staring at a formation book.

Mo Hua had been concentrating on reading the book, and when he heard the noise, he looked up and found that it was Bai Zisheng and his sister. Then he asked, "Have you seen Mr. Zhuang?"

Aunt Xue said, "Yes, I have to thank the young master for what he said before, otherwise we would have waited for a long time in vain."

"I am not a young master, just call me Mo Hua." Mo Hua waved his hand and said, "And if you want to thank someone, you should thank Mr. Zhuang, it has nothing to do with me."

At this time, Bai Zisheng on the side finally couldn't help asking, "The book you are reading... is "The Beginning of the Five Elements Formation"? "

Mo Hua nodded.

Bai Zisheng asked in confusion, "You followed Mr. Zhuang, and you only learned this far? This is a book used by three or four-year-old children in our clan to enlighten the formation..."

Mo Hua was a little unhappy.

It's okay to question yourself, but it's not okay to question Mr. Zhuang.

Mo Hua asked back, "Then was this book written by a three or four-year-old child?"

Bai Zisheng was stunned for a moment, "That's not the case. Although these basic array books seem simple, they are mostly compiled by great monks who are quite accomplished in arrays because they involve serious matters."

"Since they are compiled by those great monks, why can't we read them? The simpler the things, the more profound the principles they contain. The great way is simple, and it returns to the original. Even the high-level arrays are composed of the most basic array patterns."

Mo Hua imitated Mr. Zhuang and put on an unfathomable look.

But after all, he had little experience, and in the end he only learned three or four points of the demeanor, but it was enough to bluff Bai Zisheng.

Bai Zisheng suddenly realized, and the way he looked at Mo Hua was different.

But after a moment, he asked again in confusion: "Your cultivation is so low, it seems that you are only two or three years younger than me and Zixi, but how come you are only at the third level of Qi Refining? Normally, you should be at least at the fifth or sixth level..."

Mo Hua felt that this man was a bit annoying. He talked a lot of nonsense when he was full. It was better to look at him when he was hungry and had no energy to talk that day.

Mo Hua didn't want to pay attention to him. Aunt Xue said apologetically:

"Sorry, Zisheng was a little abrupt. I don't know what I need to do as Mr. Zhuang's apprentice?"

Bai Zisheng wanted to argue something, but Bai Zixi also glanced at him indifferently, so Bai Zisheng swallowed his words.

Mo Hua didn't care, so he said, "You don't need to do anything. Just practice and study on your own every day. You can ask for advice when you are free, but don't disturb your sleep."

Bai Zisheng couldn't help but ask, "Is your attainment in formation really high? I see that this courtyard is very ordinary, and there is no special formation. Shouldn't the place where a general formation master lives be filled with formations?"

Mo Hua asked him back, "If Mr. Zhuang's attainment in formation is not high, why did you go to so much trouble to worship Mr. Zhuang as your teacher?"

Bai Zisheng said, "Of course it's because..."

"Master!"

Auntie Xue called Bai Zisheng, and Bai Zisheng knew that he had said something wrong, so he said perfunctorily, "Because I only heard about it before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I asked you."

"Oh~"

Mo Hua looked at him suspiciously, and didn't say anything else.

I feel that more and more people are reading books recently, so I will briefly say (＾＾):

First of all, I will read everyone's comments, whether good or bad, but I have to type, so I may not have time to reply, please forgive me.

Generally speaking, novels that are exciting in the early stages are difficult to write long.

If you want to write a complete story from beginning to end, it is inevitable to lay the groundwork in the early stages.

Strictly speaking, the content updated so far can only be regarded as the plot of the "laying ground period".

Preliminary laying of the general world view, power system, protagonist, other characters, life at the bottom, emotions of monks, etc.

I try to write it in a delicate and interesting way, but there will probably still be readers who think it is a bit bland, and there is nothing I can do about it.

After laying the groundwork, the plot can gradually unfold.

From small to large, from the bottom to the top, from the low realm to the high realm, from the micro to the macro, the entire world of cultivation will unfold little by little.

The protagonist will also grow step by step, build the ability system step by step, meet more people, do more interesting things, and clarify what the heavenly way he is seeking is.

In fact, I have already written some more interesting plots later, but they have not been updated yet.

But it shouldn't take too long~

Finally, as expected, this story will be very long, please feel free to read it~

At the same time, I also hope that everyone will enjoy reading it. (=^_^=)

Thank you.
