Huang Yaoshi stood by quietly without saying a word.
I didn't know what to say, so I could only wait quietly, waiting for the woman to stop crying.
It took a long time before the woman stopped.
"Master, this disciple must remember your teachings and pass on your legacy."
The woman pressed the button, the big drawer returned to its original position, and she just took out the letter and a few books.
And that guqin will remain here forever.
He turned around and came to the head of the sarcophagus, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Then he stood up and turned to look at Huang Yaoshi next to him.
"Just now outside, you said your name was 'Huang Yaoshi'?"
the woman asked, unable to hear any emotion.
"I, Huang Yaoshi, have met my seniors and I have just arrived in this valley last month. I did not mean to offend you just now. What I saw and heard today will definitely be rotten in my heart and I will never say a word to anyone else for the rest of my life."
Huang Yaoshi suddenly realized what a mistake he had made by following this secret room.
Isn't this prying into other people's privacy? It seems that he is not an ordinary person.
The woman ignored him and just circled around him in a serious manner. She even pointed a torch at Huang Yaoshi's face and looked at him carefully.
"Well, yes, you are young, have some martial arts skills, and the key is that you are handsome. Being able to enter here tonight is probably due to you. It seems that it is destined to be there."
Huang Yaoshi was horrified by the sight. When he heard the other party praising his good looks and saying that he was destined, he didn't know how to answer the question and could only stand there and smile bitterly.
"Young man, come here and kneel before the sarcophagus."
The woman said calmly, her tone revealing no doubt.
"Senior, this..."
Huang Yaoshi still wanted to argue, but suddenly the woman came close to him, reached out and grabbed one of his arms, and gently moved him away. Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but come to the sarcophagus.
Then, two finger winds came, and Huang Yaoshi didn't feel any pain, so he knelt down on the ground.
I wanted to struggle to stand up, but my legs refused to obey me.
"Senior, what did you do to me?" Huang Yaoshi looked slightly panicked.
"What? You haven't even learned the art of acupuncture?"
"Acupuncture?"
After traveling around the world for several years, Huang Yaoshi has certainly heard of acupuncture. The most powerful acupoint technique is Dali's "One Yang Finger".
I have heard of it, but Huang Yaoshi has never seen it.
"Little guy, what do you think of my kung fu?" the woman asked.
"The merits of our predecessors are only seen in the lifetime of our juniors."
Yaoshi Huang didn't mean to compliment, he just told the truth.
"So, do you want to learn such Kung Fu?" the woman said seductively.
"Of course I do. Is the senior willing to accept the junior as his disciple?"
Hearing what the woman said, Huang Yaoshi was overjoyed.
"Kowtow." The woman demanded.
"Why--"
Huang Yaoshi had studied under many teachers and had performed many apprenticeship ceremonies, but he knew very well that no one could compare with the skill of the one in front of him.
Therefore, he kowtowed three times respectfully. Since his body could not move, he was facing the direction of the sarcophagus, and the woman was also standing in front of the sarcophagus.
"Kowtow six more times. Our rule is to kowtow nine times."
Huang Yaoshi kowtowed six more times respectfully. After kowtowing, he stood up naturally. Only then did he realize that his legs had returned to normal.
"master--"
Huang Yaoshi was about to address him, but was interrupted by the woman.
"I'm not your master."
"Then...didn't I perform the apprenticeship ceremony just now? Ah, do you want me to worship that dead man as my apprentice?"
Huang Yaoshi suddenly jumped up like a corpse.
Immediately, he was hit hard on the head by the woman, "Zhuzi, what are you talking about?"
"That was the gift just now to accept you as a disciple. From now on, you will be a disciple of the 'Xiaoyao Sect'."
"'Xiaoyao Sect'? Disciples have never heard of it."
Huang Yaoshi was not sure what sect he had joined.
The woman ignored him and walked around the secret room again. She didn't find anything, took a deep look, turned around and walked out.
Huang Yaoshi also followed out quickly. He didn't want to stay in that gloomy place alone. There was a sarcophagus parked next to it.
The two came out of the secret passage, and the woman went up one level and activated all the self-destruction mechanisms in the secret passage. In an instant, the secret passages collapsed one after another, and the whole hill shook. No one could see that there had ever been a secret passage here.
road.
This is also the explanation in the letter in the sarcophagus, which introduces the self-destruction method of all the mechanisms in the secret passage.
The woman knelt down and knelt on the ground again, "Disciple, I would like to send you my master."
Huang Yaoshi looked at it and felt that he was not suitable to stand, so he knelt behind the woman as a gift to the unknown person in the sarcophagus.
After a long time, the woman stood up and said, "Come with me."
The two left here and walked in the other direction of the valley, which was where the original people in the valley lived.
Entering a relatively complete stone room, the woman skillfully found a lamp that could still be used, and the small stone room became brightly lit.
"Sit down, you are so young and you are named 'Medicine Master'. How do you want me to call you? I'll just call you little guy."
Huang Yaoshi wanted to refute, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
"I just told you that our sect is called the 'Xiaoyao Sect', but you just need to know it in your heart, and there is no need to publicize it everywhere. You are not even allowed to let outsiders know that you are a 'Xiaoyao Sect'."
"In the sarcophagus just now, there was my mentor. His surname was Kang and his given name was Shangguangxialing. He was the head of the 'Eight Friends of Hangu'..."
"Many years ago, there was a big change in the sect, and I heard that something unexpected happened to the master. It happened that I was not with the master at that time. When I came back here again, I couldn't find any clues."
"Just now, I respected my mentor's order and accepted you as a disciple. I will stay here to teach you for one year."
"I'm not your master either. You are a few years younger than my grandson. If you want, you can call me Master Grandma. If you don't want to, you can continue to call me Senior."
Then, the woman took out the books she had taken out of the sarcophagus.
"These books are all left to you, but there are only two martial arts secret books, one is 'Finger Finger Magic Power' and the other is 'Jade Flute Sword Technique'."
"The rest are some miscellaneous subjects, medicine, divination, astrology, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are also top choices in each category. If you have time, you can study them one by one."
"Within this year, I will teach you the 'Finger Flicking Magic Power' and the 'Jade Flute Sword Technique' from the side. At the same time, I also have a set of martial arts, the 'Orchid Acupoint Brushing Hand', which I will also teach you."
"As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own destiny. Go down first, and we will start practicing martial arts early tomorrow morning."
In this way, from the next day, Huang Yaoshi followed this woman with a gauze veil to practice the exercises in the "Deaf and Mute Valley".
Both women and Huang Yaoshi feel that time is precious.
Therefore, if one is serious about teaching and the other is serious about learning, the two of them are showing off their arms, which is a matter of two or five shifts.
In just one year, Huang Yaoshi's skills have greatly improved.
If a year ago, he could barely be considered a third-rate player, after this year, he has risen directly to the top of the second-rate list.
A twenty-year-old second-rate peak person is still considered a number one figure in the world.
Objectively speaking, Huang Yaoshi is really a wizard. In more than half a year, he has mastered these three martial arts. The rest is just hard work and practical experience.
In his spare time, he went to study other books. He himself liked music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't put it down when he saw these rare and unique books.
In particular, Huang Yaoshi was most passionate about guqin, medicine, formations and organ science.
On this day, Huang Yaoshi was practicing the "Jade Flute Sword Technique". Of course, he was using wooden sticks that he broke off from the woods.
The woman came back from outside the valley and said she had something to do and left the valley half a month ago.
When he saw Huang Yaoshi practicing his sword skills, he didn't interrupt him and watched carefully from the side.
Until he finished practicing, he couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly, thinking that he had already achieved the samadhi of this swordsmanship.
"Little guy, I'm back." The woman greeted.
"Senior is back," Huang Yaoshi was very happy when he heard the woman greeting him.
During this year of getting along, the woman not only taught him martial arts, but also explained to him many rules and secrets of martial arts, and helped him analyze them. Huang Yaoshi also benefited a lot.
"Little guy, this time I went out to the valley to ask for two gifts for you."
With that said, he took off the package on his back and took out a porcelain bottle and a long cloth package.
"This is a bottle of elixir called 'Jiuhua Yulu Pill'. It has extraordinary effects on healing and detoxifying. It can also improve a person's physical condition and quickly restore vital energy. The prescription is also given to you for your convenience in the future.
Trial."
He took the long cloth bundle again, opened it, and took out a jade flute that was full of green.
"I got this jade flute from a nobleman in my early years. I have kept it for many years. I will give it to you as a gift today. The material of this flute is enough for you to perform the 'Jade Flute Sword Technique'."
Huang Yaoshi took it excitedly, and then thought of something, he knelt down and kowtowed nine times to the woman respectfully.
"Little guy, what are you doing? Didn't you knock me down a year ago?" The woman was a little surprised.
"One year ago, I kowtowed to join the "Xiaoyao Sect", and today, I kowtow to express my gratitude to my "Master Grandma" for passing on my art and giving gifts over the past year."
"Haha, good boy, I'm here to teach you for a while. It seems that you know that our fate is going to end today?" the woman asked.
"Grandma-in-law agreed to stay here for one year and teach me, and today it happens to be one year."
"Yeah, it's been a year. I don't know what else you want from me when we say goodbye."
"Huang Yaoshi has been greatly favored by his master's mother-in-law for passing on his art. How dare he make any demands? We have only been together for a year and have not yet learned the name of his master's mother-in-law."
"Do you have a given name? I haven't used it for many years. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I am eighty-six this year, and we may not see each other again in the future. My surname is Ouyang, and my single name is Bi."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Disciple Sun Huang Yaoshi, I would like to send you my grandma-in-law Ouyang."
Once you know your name, you can officially worship your master.
Ouyang Bi, who was about to leave, seemed to remember something and seemed to be very entangled.
"Grandma-in-law, what do you want to tell your disciple to do?" Huang Yaoshi guessed what Ouyang Bi meant.
Ouyang Bi was stunned and looked at Huang Yaoshi in surprise.
Finally, he nodded and tried to speak in a calm tone.
"If, and I mean if, someone with the surname Ouyang is defeated by you in the future, I hope you will spare his life for my sake."
After saying that, he drifted away as if he was relieved.
"After you come out of the valley, you can't say anything about the 'Xiaoyao Sect'. All the methods can be learned by yourself."
