Seeing that I was stunned, the old man Jiang was not in a hurry to 'clean up' me, but the old god sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "You were haunted by a hundred ghosts when you were a child, and it was a trivial matter to save you, but I didn't think it was troublesome, boiled fragrant soup, opened a formation, even made three major tricks, drew a soul talisman, saved a hundred ghosts for you, and sent you a merit, if you weren't Lao Tzu's apprentice, I would be so troublesome?" Which of the above is not a grinding thing? Especially the three major tricks of the company, the way is shallow, hum."

At this time, I was a little confused, but I vaguely felt that Old Man Jiang seemed to have done a lot for my apprentice, but my parents figured out the meaning of Old Man Jiang's words, that is, the old man Jiang was haunted by a hundred ghosts back then, and Old Man Jiang had an easier way to deal with it, but for the sake of one of my merits, he chose an extremely difficult way to deal with it.

Just like the evil ghost that is haunting my second sister now, he can easily deal with it, but he is not willing to add cause and effect to me, and he wants to make more merit for me.

This thought is indeed touching.

In addition, my dad is also like a person at some times, he will subconsciously plan for me, he knows that this time the apprenticeship cannot be shirked, but it is a very happy thing to think about carefully.

First, Old Man Jiang has this kind of mind for me, so it is not just preaching and teaching, but the kind of emotion of being a master and a father, and I am very well taken care of under such a master.

What my dad doesn't know is that Taoist metaphysics and secret techniques pay great attention to inheritance, and they can't be easily passed on, but once they are passed on to their apprentices, the apprentice is half a son, or a son at all.

Second, my dad vaguely guessed that Old Man Jiang's identity was not ordinary, he remembered the 'high cadre suit' when Old Man Jiang was leaving seven years ago, and more importantly, he remembered the special line phone to Beijing, and the extraordinary voice on the other end of the phone. It is better for a son to follow him than to have a future in a village! As long as the son has a future, he will not covet that little bit of parental popularity, after all, a good man has ambitions in all directions, how can the family become a shackle for the son?

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

As for the third, my dad didn't look down on the Taoist priest at all, the warlock, although he was illiterate, but he heard a lot of rural legends, and he also heard a lot of jokes about the Eight Classics, just like the Three Kingdoms. He knew that there were generally some people who were highly valued around the ancient emperors, and these people could either gaze at the stars, or read feng shui, or know all kinds of secret arts, and even the emperor had to respect them. Especially the emperor who founded the country, there is often a person like this around him, so isn't Zhuge Liang? He just feels that a 'master' like Old Man Jiang must have been taken seriously, the reason is very simple, you said that the ancient emperors attached so much importance to it, and it makes no sense that today's leaders still don't recognize the things handed down by their ancestors?

After figuring out these three points, my father, who was like a human spirit at a critical time, scolded me loudly before I could speak: "Three babies, how can Dad educate you?" If you don't repay it, you are not as good as an animal. The Master Jiang in front of you is your life-saving benefactor, don't say that you will be accepted as an apprentice, that is, you will be asked to be a son in the past, and let you retire and die, and you can't say a word! Did you hear it, why don't you kneel down and shout Master?! ”

Indeed, the education I received since I was a child is like this, I despise ungrateful people very much, in my eyes, such people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and the old man Jiang in front of me has the grace to save my life, if I don't pay it back, I am really a ***.

Forget it, my dream of the Red Army, goodbye, the combat hero in my heart, **, I'm sorry for your old man, I didn't become a glorious PLA soldier under you.

I'm having mixed feelings at the moment, but a manly man has to have his own principles, right? After silently mourning my dream, I walked over and shouted, "Master." "I'm going to kneel down for Old Man Jiang.

"Eh, slow down." But I didn't want Old Man Jiang to hold me up, and said: "This kneeling ceremony can't be so casual, worship into our vein, there is an authentic apprenticeship ceremony, you must pay attention to it." However, this master, I am suffering, before I finish the apprenticeship, you are half my apprentice, that's all. ”

Oh, you think I want to kneel, seeing that he won't let me kneel, I'm still happy and relaxed, regardless of his half apprentice, or half of his apprentice, anyway, I should eat, sleep, go to school, what else can this old man do to me?

This is where I am naïve, how can Taoism make me so comfortable when it accepts apprentices, and I also underestimate the weight of Master in my life.

"Apprentice, refill some tea for me, and hammer my shoulder by the way." Old man Jiang looked at me and ordered, I wanted to obey, but as soon as I turned around, I saw my father's 'fierce' gaze, and then I thought about it, I am now someone else's apprentice, what else can I do?

As the saying goes, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, although he is a cheap master, but as an apprentice, I still understand the principle of filial piety to the master, I have heard a lot of jokes in Journey to the West, and I also know that the capable Monkey King still has to listen to the incapable Tang Seng.

Obediently went to pour tea for Old Man Jiang, handed it to him, and hammered him on the shoulder behind him very unconvinced, feeling angry in his heart, I hammered it hard.

But the heavier I am, the more the old man Jiang enjoys it, and says, "Well, I have less strength, and I am heavier!" ”

Damn, why do you think this old man is so 'cheap', and you think I didn't hit him hard enough? I held my breath, and I was desperately hammering at Old Man Jiang, but people were like iron beatings, and I didn't care at all.

I was tired and panting here, but the old man Jiang said over there: "I actually went back to the village yesterday, and I saw the second sister in that cemetery last night." ”

"You were there yesterday?" My dad was very surprised, and he said that this old man Jiang could see the matter of the second sister so clearly at a glance.

"Yes, I'm not a real immortal, so it's impossible to make the cause and effect of things clear at once. I wanted to do it last night, but there are ordinary villagers in this area, and it's hard to ensure that there are many people, and there are some things that ordinary people still don't know. In addition, this matter originated from the third baby, I didn't want to kill him, so I held back the idea of making a move last night, thinking, I came to discuss with you today and see what you think. ”

Old man Jiang slowly talked about the ins and outs, at this time, my mother finally couldn't help it, and didn't care about my dad keeping a look next to her, and even pulled her, but rushed directly to Old Man Jiang and asked: "Master Jiang, you have accepted Sanwa'er as an apprentice, but you want to take him away?" ”

My dad sighed, sat next to him and didn't speak, I can't blame him for not stopping my mom, in fact, what my mom asked was exactly what he was suffering in his heart.

Old man Jiang was stunned, and before he could answer, my eldest sister, who had not spoken, jumped out; "Master Jiang, otherwise I will be your apprentice, don't take my brother away, if there is no boy in the family, my parents will be sad in the village when they are old."

My eldest sister is quite sensible, and it's hard for her to think of this layer, and it's even more difficult for her to be a 'Taoist aunt' for me, my eldest sister is arrogant and excellent in learning, she has a lot of ideals, anyway, none of them will be a 'Taoist aunt'.

As for me, I can'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 am not as big or small as Old Man Jiang, I am convinced that he has the ability.

Second, I don't have any memory of Old Man Jiang's life-saving grace, so I don't have any feelings, but I have affirmed in my heart that I want to repay the favor and be good to this old man. But I've been like this since I was a child, I don't express my feelings, and I'm willing to cover up the past with laughter and scolding.

Third, that tiger claw really saved my life, that mighty tiger roar, until now I can never forget, I know that the tiger claw is not a simple thing, old man Jiang can give it to me, and gave it to me when I was very young, it can be seen that he is really good to me. Doesn't the saying say, take the hands short?

I definitely don't want to leave my parents, but if I regret it, based on the above little care, I can't say. Therefore, it also caused me to stand in front of Old Man Jiang in a daze, speechless.

"Ugh." Old man Jiang sighed, got up and touched my eldest sister's head, and then touched my head, and then said: "Big sister, I know that you are sensible, but the fate of this master and apprentice is not just anyone's place." ”

Then, the old man Jiang turned to look at my mother: "I won't take the three babies with me now, I will take the three babies to live on the mountain in this village, and I can accompany you on weekdays." It's just that after the age of 15, the three babies are going to leave with me, not that I am cold-hearted and force your mother and son to separate, but some things are predestined, and it is only harmful to force you to stay around. The three children have no parental relationship, but they can't always serve their parents, not for life, and it's not that they can't support you for the rest of their lives, and occasionally accompany you. Don't be too pessimistic. ”

Old man Jiang doesn't lie, my parents know this very well, just like he said before he left that I had a disaster, and it will be reported to my family is the last example, isn't it?

In addition, my parents are also convinced that Old Man Jiang is not the kind of person who is alarmist in order to accept apprentices, if he wants to be alarmist, he could have done so seven years ago, besides, what are the specific benefits of accepting an apprentice for him?
