Chapter 6: Worshiping the Master
Zhang Xiaofan woke up leisurely, stunned for a long time, slowly sitting up, the past was like a tidal wave, momentarily surging into his mind.
It was like a nightmare!
"You woke up ah! That's good." A voice came from the doorway and a person walked in.
Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes and recognized Song Daren who he had seen on Tongtian Peak at that time, his body was tall and rough looking, and with his current state of mind, he somehow felt a bit of affinity when he saw this person he knew.
"Big Brother Song." Zhang Xiaofan called out.
Although Song Daren was a big man, at this moment, his heart could not help but feel some pity, he walked to the bed, reached out and touched Zhang Xiaofan's head, and softly said, "Junior Brother, there is no need to be sad, in the future, we will be a family."
Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment and said, "What family?"
Song Daren smiled and told him about the fact that Tian Yuxi had already accepted him as his disciple, of course, that day in the Tongtian Peak Jade Clearance Hall, the small dispute that occurred between the elders of the Qingyun Sect, he did not know about it.
Zhang Xiaofan heard, a moment of bewilderment, the Qing Yun door in his mind like this peasant boy, really is and fairy first-class characters, he himself never delusion one day, he will also have the opportunity to enter the Qing Yun door. Only, this price is not what he is willing to pay.
He gritted his teeth, ultimately knowing that it was useless to think about it more, and opened his mouth to call out, "Senior Brother Song."
Song Daren smiled and nodded his head, saying, "Good, Junior Brother, you've been sleeping for a day and a night all of a sudden, so you're probably hungry too, right?"
Zhang Xiaofan originally didn't feel it, but when he said it, his stomach immediately "rumbled" twice.
Song Daren laughed, "Come, Junior Brother, let's go eat something first, and by the way, I'll tell you something about the situation of this sect, and then we'll go together to pay our respects to Master Shifu and Mother, and to meet all the other senior brothers."
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and got off the bed, only then noticing that this room he was in was quite similar to the place where the disciples of the Qingyun lived on the Tongtian Peak, but it seemed to be a bit more spacious.
Song Daren said as he led him outside, "Our Great Bamboo Peak is not like our fellow disciples from other veins, the population is very thin, even if we add you now, the total number of people is only ten, so the rooms are all a bit more spacious."
He said and walked to the door, it was also a similar small courtyard, a few more steps, out of the courtyard, it was also a corridor, but here at a glance, there were only a dozen or so houses, far inferior to the scale on Tongtian Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan followed Song Daren towards the kitchen, and learned from him that the lineage of the Great Bamboo Peak started since Zheng Tong, the fourth disciple under the seat of Ancestor Qing Ye, and was passed on to a total of six generations in the hands of the current Tian Yiqiu, and the situation has always been like this, with a lack of a flourishing population. Now the master generation, in addition to the first seat Tian not easy, only another master uncle Su Ru, that is, Tian not easy wife.
They have a daughter Tian Ling'er, this year thirteen, than Zhang Xiaofan older than two years, so Zhang Xiaofan here is a veritable young master.
And amongst the crowd of Tian Yi's disciples, Song Da Ren was the eldest senior brother, and in descending order, there were Wu Da Yi, Zheng Da Li, He Da Zhi, Lu Da Xin, and Du Bishu.
Zhang Xiaofan memorized it by heart, "Oh, Elder Brother Da Yi, Elder Brother Da Li, Elder Brother Da Zhi, Elder Brother Da Xin, Elder Brother Da Shu..."
Song Da Ren laughed, "It's Senior Brother Du Bishu."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "How come it's just this sixth senior brother who is different?"
Song Daren said, "Originally, he was indeed called Dashu, but you call him twice more to hear it."
Zhang Xiaofan murmured: "Du Dashu, Du Dashu, Du Dashu..." in his heart, and then laughed out.
Song Da Ren also laughed: "You know. In fact, the master is not very much care, but the mother is very annoyed, called a few times, then said Du Shi Di does not respect the teacher to honor the road, to teach a lesson, the Du Shi Di scared half dead, and hastened to ask the master's mother for him to change his name, and then the mother of the teacher will be for him to take the name of the 'Du Bishu'. You recite this name properly a few more times."
Zhang Xiaofan whispered, "Du Bishu, Du Bishu, gambling will lose..." and snorted with laughter.
Song Daren had the intention of attracting him to laugh, slightly reduce his feelings of grief, see Zhang Xiaofan happy, his heart is also quite happy, laughed: "Sixth brother before entering the door has a good habit of gambling, and then by chance, by the master of the ferry on the mountain, although no longer gambling, but usually love to bet with people addicted to this, the teacher's wife, there is a vigilant intention."
Zhang Xiaofan child nature, smile then open, sad mood, will fade a lot, and see the big brother so kind, the original fear of the future fear of the heart, but also slowly stabilized.
After eating in the kitchen, Song Daren took Zhang Xiaofan to the main hall of the Great Bamboo Peak, the "Hall of Silence". Qingyun door big bamboo peak line up and down people, at the moment are concentrated in the quiet hall, here red brick pavement, red tile stone columns, hall in the ground carved a large "Taiji" graphics, in general is very simple.
In front of the hall set up two chairs, sitting two people, one is not easy, the other is a quiet and dignified woman, look more than thirty years old, elegant, beside her stood a little girl, clear eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes watery, extremely dynamic, loveable.
As for the other five male disciples, lined up and standing at the bottom, either tall or short, strong or thin, their gazes all fell on Zhang Xiaofan at this moment.
Song Daren walked to the front of the hall and respectfully said, "Master, Senior Mother, disciple has brought Junior Brother here."
Tian Yanyu grunted, rather impatient, but it was that beautiful woman Su Ru who looked at Zhang Xiaofan twice more and said, "Daren, he has slept for a day and a night, I'm afraid that he has long been hungry, so you should take him to eat something first!"
Song Daren said, "Reporting back to Senior Maiden, I've just taken Junior Brother to the kitchen to eat."
Su Ru nodded and glanced at Tian Yiqi, no longer speaking. Tian Yuxi gave another cold snort and said, "Let's begin!"
Zhang Xiaofan was unsure, only to hear Song Daren quietly say behind him, "Junior Brother, quickly kneel down and kowtow to the master."
Zhang Xiaofan immediately knelt down and "dun dun dun dun" kowtowed a dozen times in a row, heavy and loud.
"Hehe." But that little girl Tian Ling'er couldn't help but laugh out. Su Ru smiled and said, "Good boy, kowtowing nine is enough."
Zhang Xiaofan let out an "oh" sound, only then did he stop and raised his head, the crowd could not help but laugh out when they saw a red patch on his forehead, but in Tian Yi's eyes, it was even more stupid and intolerable, and once he thought of having to teach such idiots in the future, his originally rather large head seemed to have grown another size.
"Well, that's it!" Tian Qiqiu was in an extremely bad mood and waved his hand, "Da Ren, he will be led by you first, the sect's disciplinary precepts, and some introductory dao teachings, will be taught by you first."
Song Daren answered, "Yes." Then some hesitation, and then said, "But master, little brother is still young, this introductory disciple's homework..."
Tian Yi easily rolled his eyes and said, "Do it." Said stood up, did not look back, then walked toward the back hall, all the disciples bowed, said: "respectfully send off the master."
As soon as Tian Yi Yi left, before the crowd could speak, the little girl Tian Ling'er had already flashed in front of Zhang Xiaofan, staring at him for a couple of moments, Zhang Xiaofan saw her hibiscus-like lovely face waving in front of his eyes, although she was young, she was already a beauty embryo, when he was in the Grass Temple Village, he had never seen such a beautiful girl of the same age before, he couldn't help but blush on his face.
"Ha," Tian Ling'er laughed aloud as if she had found a treasure, pointing at Zhang Xiaofan, "Senior brothers, look! He's blushing when he sees me!"
The hall roared with laughter, Zhang Xiaofan blushed even more, Su Ru walked over and scolded with a smile, "Ling'er, don't bully senior brother."
Tian Ling'er made a face, but did not take her mother's words to heart in the slightest, standing up straight, she said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Hey, quickly call me senior sister."
Zhang Xiaofan was furious in his heart, but as Tian Ling'er's bright eyes and white teeth and moving body floated before his eyes, his heart was confused and he couldn't help but call out, "Senior Sister."
Tian Ling'er in the big bamboo peak has always ranked the last, now actually have a younger than their own younger brother, the heart is extremely happy, and now as old and old-fashioned, said: "Good, little brother, in the future to listen to the words of the sister oh."
Zhang Xiaofan answered naively, saying, "Yes."
Su Ru pulled her daughter over and said, "No fooling around." He also said to Song Daren, "Daren, Junior Brother is still young, I'm afraid that homework is a bit overwhelming, so take care of him a bit more."
Song Daren respectfully said, "Yes."
Next to him, the other five disciples stood together, laughing and joking, their eyes glancing around, with the intention of gloating.
At this time, Su Ru suddenly made a very strange movement, as if moving her tendons, she turned her head in a circle, very different from the dignified temperament she had always had. In a few moments, the big bamboo peak disciples from Song Daren the following, the sound of laughter suddenly extinguished, all open-mouthed tongue, all are the expression of a big trouble.
Su Ru cleared her throat and said, "You..."
"Auntie!" A shout, but Song Daren forehead sweat, shouted out in a hurry.
Su Ru frowned, said: "What?"
The remaining five senior brothers also said in unison, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"
Song Daren hurriedly said, "Senior Mother, Junior Brother has just been initiated, disciple was ordered by Master to pass on his disciplinary precepts as well as his initiation homework, so he's busy going."
Su Ru pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's true, you go!"
"What?" The remaining five senior brothers shouted in unison.
Song Daren laughed dryly, and without saying a word, he stepped forward to pick up Zhang Xiaofan, and without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask, he immediately headed out, saying under his breath, "Junior Brother, let me find a secluded place to teach you the rules of this sect first..."
Tian Ling'er laughed and followed, amused, only to hear someone behind him loudly scolded: "Eldest brother you're so shameless!"
"Coward!"
Zhang Xiaofan heard in his ears, greatly perplexed, thinking to himself, "How is it that Eldest Brother taught me the rules of the door but was scolded as a coward?
As he was thinking in his mind, he suddenly heard Su Ru let out a broken cry, her voice cold and pleasing to the ear, like breaking ice and cutting snow: "Shut up!"
The hall was immediately quiet.
Only to hear Su Ru said: "You guys, these guys are no good, once I see I want to test your cultivation will be afraid of this kind of demeanor. In five years time, it will be the Qing Yun Sect's 'Seven Veins Martial Arts' once in a century, last time you guys have already pissed me and your master off half to death, if you don't work hard this time, the two of us won't be shamed to death by our fellow disciples! Come on, all five of you..."
※※※
Song Da Ren ran faster and faster, striding, out of the hall and headed straight to the back of the mountain. Zhang Xiaofan crouched on his shoulders, the trees on both sides of the "hoo hoo hoo" backward, very fast. Behind them, Tian Ling'er did not know when to sacrifice a red jade damask, the body was light amber color, a few seemingly transparent, emitting a path of red haze, is obviously immortal magic treasure.
At this moment, Tian Ling'er will leisurely stand in the red damask above, hand casually did a lead, that red jade damask will carry her to fly into mid-air, closely followed by Song Da Ren's back.
Zhang Xiaofan has never seen this kind of miraculous thing, surprised, only to see Tian Ling'er wind, dashing extremely, eyes immediately showed incomparable envy.
Tian Ling'er saw his expression in her eyes, proudly incomparable, drove the damask forward to come to Zhang Xiaofan's side and walk side by side with him, said: "How is it, I'm very powerful, right?"
Zhang Xiaofan desperately nodded his head and said, "Yes, Senior Sister is really great, riding a red cloth actually runs so fast too!"
Tian Ling'er was dumbfounded, and then realized what he meant by the red cloth, she was so angry that she bawled, but couldn't help but laugh out, "Big fool!"
Zhang Xiaofan was puzzled, only to hear Song Daren laugh in front of him, "Junior brother, what are you talking about! That 'amber vermilion damask' is the famous magic weapon cultivated by the master's wife when she was young, wonderful and powerful, even in our Qingyun Sect, it's also a famous immortal magic weapon, how is it what, what red cloth?" After saying that, he laughed out loud.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was red, secretly raised his eyes to Tian Ling'er, only to see her smilingly looking at himself, the side of his face revealed two small dimples.
After running around for a while, the three of them came to a small hill in front of the back of the mountain, Song Da Ren stopped and put down Zhang Xiaofan. Tian Ling'er also fell to the ground, hand knack a collection, "amber Zhu damask" such as spirituality, automatically rolled up, coiled in her waist, looks like a good-looking red belt.
This hillside is full of bamboo, there are thick and thin, patches of forest, very lush. However, upon closer inspection, the bamboo here is different from the ordinary, showing black color at the bamboo joints.
Song Daren pointed to this bamboo forest and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Junior brother, the rules of our Great Bamboo Peak lineage, the first-time disciples have to go here every day to cut down the bamboo. You are still young, so you can cut one tree every day for the first three months! As for the thickness, it's up to you."
When Zhang Xiaofan first heard that Su Ru had to take care of Song Daren when he was starting out, he thought it was something difficult, but he didn't realize that it was just ordinary chopping wood. He was born in Grass Temple Village, born into a farming family, and also went up the mountain with adults a few times, chopped firewood a few times, and immediately his heart was greatly relaxed, revealing a smile, saying, "Elder brother, I've chopped firewood, no need to worry."
Song Da Ren looked at him, wanting to say something, smiled and said, "That's good. Let's walk back slowly, I'll point you to the temporal path, and later you'll come on your own, and by the way, I'll also talk to you about the disciplinary precepts."
Tian Ling'er laughed beside her, "Eldest brother, why did you rush to come so far but say something unrelated and walk back slowly, are you afraid of being beaten by my mother?"
Song Daren face red, not to care about her, only to Zhang Xiaofan said: "Little brother, you remember well, the door of the first rule of the first heavy respect for the teacher..."
It turns out that the Qingyun door Da Zhufeng line, the head of the Tian not easy to laziness, although to face but has always been too lazy to teach the disciples, usually only teach Taoist techniques after the door will be ignored, allowing the disciples to practice on their own.
But his wife, Su Ru, is strong in nature, and likes to use martial arts, and when she was young, she was quite famous, and the scenery was unparalleled. With Tian not easy to get married, sex has been greatly converged, but often itchy hands, the second seat of the disciples are not too competitive, the Qingyun door after every one of the "seven veins will be held routinely martial arts" test, even a few sessions down, the Bamboo Peak disciples repeatedly defeated, in addition to the eldest brother of the Song Daren occasionally win a game, the rest of the people are all defeated to the end, and so become the Qingyun door up and down the laughing stock. So it became the laughing stock of the Qingyun Sect.
Su Ru life is strong, how to tolerate this breath, this will often go out on behalf of his husband, Tian not easy to "teach" this group of disciples. Although her appearance is soft and beautiful, nature is quite anxious, cultivation and is very high, accidentally these disciples will be beaten to hold the head, all over the body, so that all people fear this beauty of the teacher's wife is far better than that short and fat master.
At this time the sky is late, the sun fell to the west, the sky evening sunlight brilliant. The setting sun shines on the big bamboo peak, this big two small slowly walking towards the mountain, the distant peak before the building, I do not know where to come from a long barking, interspersed with a few sounds of some poor people's shrill cries of pain.
