Master Yushu stayed for two months. On the one hand, he wanted to recover from his injuries, at least to the point where he could fight against Qian Xiaoxiao. On the other hand, he also wanted to fulfill his promise to teach the children in the village.
.
Now that most of the injuries have healed and the martial arts has been taught, it is time for Master Yushu to say goodbye.
But before leaving, the village chief came to see him once with a frown on his face.
"It may be inconvenient for the Taoist priest to travel alone. I wonder if there may be some disciples in the village who have caught my eye in the past two months. The old man is bold and would like to ask you to accept one or two of them. It would be better if there are many people who bring tea and water along the way."
The village's idea is very simple. This Taoist is noble and a gentleman. He must be from a famous family. If there are people in their village who can be his disciples, they will have more to rely on if they encounter any trouble in the future.
At the very least, if they encounter bandits and the like again, they don't have to fight hard. No matter they win or lose, they will be damaged. If they can take advantage of the situation to protect themselves, that would be the best.
After listening to what the other party said, Master Yushu really thought about it for a while, and then said: "I have already accepted a closed disciple, so it is inconvenient to accept more disciples."
"Ah haha, it's the old man who talks too much. Don't take it to heart, Taoist priest." The village chief quickly said it was okay, but there was still a look of disappointment in his eyes.
However, Master Yushu hadn't finished his words yet. He added: "But I see that the disciples in the village also have malleable talents. I am willing to lead them to become a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. I wonder what the village chief wants?"
Qingcheng faction!
The village chief is a knowledgeable person, and the reputation of the Taoist Qingcheng Sect has long been known to him. He never expected that this Taoist had such a great background. He was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Taoist Priest, Qingcheng is a famous and decent sect. Those children are lucky enough to be able to worship under the sect. It's - it's true."
The village chief was so excited that he could not speak. After Yushu comforted him for a while, he asked him to call all the children in the village who had been learning martial arts with him these days.
After the village chief left, the great news spread throughout the village immediately, and every household couldn't help but come to join in the fun.
After two months, the villagers no longer had any grudges against Master Yushu, but were just grateful for his selfless teaching of martial arts. This was a huge kindness.
The village chief called all the children in the village over and explained what Yushu meant. Everyone was excited. Amao was also among the crowd, and he was naturally excited.
In two months, although Amao looked down on those useless martial arts, he had longed for martial arts, and finally had the opportunity to get into martial arts, so how could he give up so easily.
To put it bluntly, Amao's talent in martial arts is quite good. Compared to other children in the village who are still scratching their heads to understand obscure mental techniques, and worrying about moves that seem simple and easy to understand but are actually profound and complex, he has already mastered them.
Learn all the martial arts taught by Master Yushu.
Even among the outer disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, Amao's talent can be considered average, and he also has a clear understanding of his own abilities.
After comparing other children in the same village, Amao confidently believed that only he was qualified to be accepted into the Qingcheng sect by Master Yushu.
Therefore, after hearing the news, Amao was the most excited and happy one. Because of the incident two months ago, there was a gap between him and the villagers.
Being targeted with hatred by everyone, Amao is increasingly unable to regard the village as his home. Without a sense of belonging, he desperately hopes to leave here.
However, when Master Yushu announced the person he had chosen, everyone was surprised.
The child chosen by Master Yushu was called Anping. The most outstanding moment of this child was when he led the children in the village and scared away the seven members of the Beggar Gang with his bluff.
However, although his courage and wisdom are commendable, his martial arts talent is unbearable. Among the children taught by Master Yushu, Anping is the slowest to learn and the least progress.
The obvious one.
If Amao's talent is like a grain of gold in the sand, then Anping's talent is pure and unremarkable.
Master Yushu chose him, which surprised all the villagers, but they soon felt relieved. After all, ordinary people from the martial arts lineage, how could they compare with the vision of this master of the Qingcheng sect.
Therefore, although the villagers were envious of Anping's good luck, they did not resent him. Most of them faced him with congratulations, except for one person, and that was Amao.
"Why.!"
The sound of Amao gnashing his teeth appeared in the crowd at an inappropriate time, like a drop of ink falling on a piece of red silk, which made people feel unhappy.
Master Yushu's decision made Amao feel betrayed.
That night, he took Master Yushu to avoid the "bandits". Because of his actions, the villagers suffered disaster. After that night, Amao became an object of disgust.
But in Amao's heart, he believed that Master Yushu and himself were on the same front, because the tragedy that night was inseparable from the other party. At the same time, even if he didn't know it, the other party was the same as himself.
I was in a coma all night.
Amao felt that since he was so close to Master Yushu, he had never served anyone so humbly in his life, and the other party should appreciate it.
But now, Master Yushu has chosen Anping. This is undoubtedly a loud slap on Amao's face, shattering his hopes, complacency, and dignity.
Amao's unwillingness almost turned into reality, and his eyes were as terrifying as an angry beast.
The village chief frowned and immediately wanted to scold the other party. What if the other party's expression at such a happy time offended the Qingcheng sect's masters.
But Master Yushu stopped the other party. He stood up and said to Amao: "When Qingcheng sends disciples, the first priority is ambition. If Anping is better than you in this aspect, it is not unfair."
As Master Yushu, it was undoubtedly condescending to respond to a child's question, but these words were extremely harsh in Amao's ears.
"Am I not as good as him?" Amao roared unwillingly. At this moment, his hatred not only affected Yushu, who he regarded as a god, but also Anping, who was chosen by the opponent.
Anping was so frightened by that look that he stiffened up. Seeing this, Master Yushu patted the other person on the back to comfort the child, then turned to Amao and said: "Your life-saving kindness to Pindao will never be forgotten by Pindao."
, but I can’t accept you as a gatekeeper.”
Master Yushu's attitude was clear. Although Amao's life-saving kindness was forced on him, he did receive this kindness. This can be regarded as a causal connection.
Taoism emphasizes responsibility, which means that if the predecessors do good, future generations will be blessed, and if current people do evil, future generations will suffer. Therefore, Master Yushu cannot break the rules of the Qingcheng Sect because of his own grudges, otherwise the teacher will only be the victim.
