Chapter 31 Recognizing the Master

Seeing me stunned, Old Man Jiang was not in a hurry to 'dress' me, but the old god sat down, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "When you were kidnapped by a hundred ghosts, saving you was a trivial matter, but I don't mind the trouble. I cooked fragrant soup, started a formation, used three major hand techniques, painted the soul-suppressing talisman, saved hundreds of ghosts, and gave you a merit. If you were not my disciple, I would have to be so troublesome? Which of the above is not a matter of trying to test your skills? Especially the three major hand techniques, which are shallow in the Tao, hum."

At this time, I was a little confused, but I vaguely felt that Old Man Jiang had done a lot for my disciple, but my parents figured out what Old Man Jiang meant, that was, the hundreds of ghosts were plagued by him, and Old Man Jiang had a simpler way to deal with it, but for my merit, he chose an extremely difficult way to deal with it.

Just like the evil ghost who pestered my second sister now, he could deal with it simply, but he was unwilling to add a cause and effect to me, and he wanted to do more merit.

This thought is really touching.

In addition, my father is like a personal sperm at some point, and he subconsciously plans for me. He knows that he can't help but think about it carefully, but it's a very happy thing.

First, if Old Man Jiang has this idea for me, it is not just about preaching and teaching, but about the emotion of being both a teacher and a father. Under such a master, I am well taken care of.

What my father doesn't know is that Taoist metaphysics secrets pay great attention to inheritance and cannot be easily passed on to others. But once they pass on the legitimate disciple, the disciple will be half a son, or just a son. Old man Jiang is lonely all his life and hit his own "son". Will it be bad for me?

Second, my father vaguely guessed that Old Man Jiang’s identity was extraordinary. He remembered the “high-ranking service” when Old Man Jiang was leaving seven years ago. More importantly, he remembered the dedicated line to Beijing and the extraordinary voice coming from the other end of the phone. It is better for a son to follow him than in the same village! As long as his son has a future, he will not be greedy for that little parental relationship. After all, a good man is determined to be in all directions. How can a family become a shackle for his son?

I feel sorry for my parents all over the world.

As for the third, my father did not look down on Taoist priests and sorcerers at all. Although he was illiterate, he had heard a lot of rural legends and heard a lot of serious jokes, such as the Three Kingdoms. He knew that there were usually some people who were highly valued around the ancient emperors. These people could watch stars, read Feng Shui, or know all kinds of secret techniques, and even emperors had to respect them. Especially the founding emperors often had such a person around them. Wasn't Zhuge Liang? He just felt that "masters" like Old Man Jiang must have been valued. The reason was very simple. You said that ancient emperors attached so much importance to them. There was no reason why today's leaders did not recognize what passed down from their ancestors?

My father, who was like a human being at a critical moment, had figured out these three points, and before I could speak, I shouted loudly: "Sanwaer, how did Dad educate you? If you don't repay your kindness, it's better than beasts. Master Jiang in front of you is your savior. Don't say you are a disciple, even if you ask you to be your son, and you can't say a word about your turtle! If you hear that, don't you kneel down and call Master?!"

Indeed, this is the education I received since childhood. I despise ungrateful people. In my eyes, people who are like pigs and dogs are worse than those who are like pigs and dogs. This old man Jiang, who is in front of me, has saved me for life. If I don’t repay it, I will be a doggy-honored person.

Forget it, my dream of the Red Army, goodbye, the combat hero in my heart, Chairman Mao, I am sorry for you, for not being able to become your glorious People's Liberation Army soldier.

I feel mixed feelings at this moment, but a man must have his own principles, right? After silently mourning my dream, I walked over and shouted, "Master." I was about to kneel down for Old Man Jiang.

"Hey, slow down." But Old Man Jiang didn't expect that he would hold me up and said, "This kneeling ceremony cannot be so casual. If you worship in our lineage, there are authentic apprenticeships, and you must pay attention to it. However, as for Master, I have received it. Before you complete the apprenticeship, you are half of my disciple, just like that."

Haha, you think I want to kneel down, but when I see him not let me kneel down, I am happy to relax. I don’t care whether he is half an apprentice or most of his apprentice. Anyway, I should eat, sleep, and go to school. What can this old man do to me?

This is what I am naive. How could Taoism accepts disciples and teaches me so well? I also underestimate the weight of my master in my life.

"Advisor, please add some tea and hammer me your shoulders." Old man Jiang looked at me and told me that he had ordered. I couldn't agree, but when I turned around, I saw my father's "vicious" gaze. I thought again, I am all other people's apprentices now, what else can I do?

As the saying goes, when a person is under the roof, he has to bow his head. Although he is a cheap master, he still understands the principle of being a disciple. If he has heard too many jokes about Journey to the West, he also knows that Sun Wukong, who is capable, still has to listen to the incompetent Tang Monk.

I went to pour tea for Old Man Jiang and handed it to him. I was very dissatisfied with hammering his shoulders behind him. I felt angry. I was so heavy that I had a heavy hammer.

But the heavier I was, the more enjoyed the old man Jiang enjoyed it, and said, "Well, I have less strength, heavier!"

Damn, why do you think this old man is so "silly"? Do you think I'm not heavy enough to hit him? I held my breath and was desperately hammering Old Man Jiang, but he was like a slap and didn't care at all.

I was so tired that I was panting, but Old Man Jiang said there: "I actually went back to the village yesterday. Last night, I saw my second sister in that cemetery."

"Are you there yesterday?" My dad was very surprised. He said, "When old man Jiang took a look, he could see the second sister's affairs so clearly."

"Yes, I'm not a real god, so it's impossible to tell the whole story clearly. I wanted to take action last night, but there were ordinary villagers nearby, so it's hard to keep people from being confused. Some things are better for ordinary people to know. In addition, this matter is due to Sanwa'er. I don't want to commit murder for him, so I resisted the idea of ​​taking action last night, thinking that I'll discuss with you today and see what you think."

Old Man Jiang slowly said the whole story. At this time, my mother finally couldn't help it. Regardless of my father's eyes being winked by her, she rushed to Old Man Jiang and asked: "Master Jiang, you have taken Sanwaer as your apprentice, but you want to take him away?"

My dad sighed and sat next to him and stopped talking. He couldn't blame him for not stopping my mom. In fact, what my mom asked was exactly what he was in pain in his heart.

Old Man Jiang was stunned. Before I could answer, my elder sister who had not spoken before jumping out; "Master Jiang, otherwise I will be your apprentice, don't take my younger brother away. If there is no boy at home, my parents will be sad when they get old in the village."

My elder sister is quite sensible, and it is hard for her to think of this level, and it is even harder for her to be a "Tao Niang" for me. My elder sister is arrogant and has excellent academic performance. She has many ideals, but none of them will be a "Tao Niang".

As for me, I didn't care about beating Old Man Jiang at this time. I stood up and wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it.

First, although I and Old Man Jiang are neither older nor younger, I believe that he has the ability.

Second, I have no memory of Old Man Jiang’s life-saving grace, so I have no feelings, but I have already affirmed it in my heart. To repay the kindness, I must be kind to this old man. However, I have been like this since I was a child, and I can’t express my feelings, and I am willing to cover up my laughter and scold.

Third, the tiger claws really saved my life. The powerful tiger roar was still unforgettable. I knew that the tiger claws were not a simple thing. Old man Jiang could give it to me and gave it to me when I was very young. It can be seen that he treats me really well. As the saying goes, is it short to take people?

I definitely don’t want to leave my parents, but if I go back on my word, I can’t say it based on the above little thoughts. So, it caused me to stand in front of Old Man Jiang and unable to speak.

"Oh," Old Man Jiang sighed, got up and touched my elder sister's head, then said, "Big girl, I know you are sensible, but the fate of this master and apprentice is not replaced by anyone."

Then, Old Man Jiang turned around and looked at my mother: "I won't take Sanwa's away now. I will take Sanwa'er and live on the mountain in this village. I can also be with you on weekdays. But after the age of 15, Sanwa'er will leave with me. It's not that I'm cold-hearted and force you to separate from your mother and son, but that some things are destined, and forcing you to stay by your side is just to harm others. Sanwa'er has no parental relationship, but just can't stay with your parents forever, not to stay forever, nor can he not be able to support you in his old age and see you off and accompany you occasionally. Don't think too pessimistic about things."

Old Man Jiang does not lie. My parents know this well. Just like before he left, he said that I had a disaster, and it would be reported to my family. Isn’t it the last example?

In addition, my parents also firmly believe that Old Man Jiang is not the kind of person who makes an alarmist statement for accepting an apprentice. He can do this seven years ago. Besides, what are the specific benefits of accepting an apprentice for him?
