"What's your name?" Xiao Yu looked at the little boy and asked with a smile.
"Brother, my name is Gou Dongming. My adoptive father gave me my name. Brother, what is your name?"
The little boy was very innocent and not timid. When he saw Xiao Yu asking questions, he responded like a little adult and asked.
"My name is Xiao Yu...".
"Brother Xiao Yu, I heard from my adoptive father that you are very powerful. He asked me to become your teacher. Are you willing to teach me Taoism?"
The little boy looked at Xiao Yu with his big eyes and said eagerly.
Xiao Yu looked at Gou Changqing with some surprise, but saw that the other person did not look at him, and then looked at the little boy.
"What do you do to learn Taoism?"
"Of course I can make money by learning Taoism, so I don't have to go to the orphanage anymore, it's so boring there."
Xiao Yu was not angry when he heard this idea of learning Taoism to make money, because he had this mentality when he was a child, even in the past two years.
A Taoist who knows Taoism can't even support himself, how can he talk about slaying demons and upholding justice?
"Very good. Knowing how to support yourself proves that you are strong! But learning Taoism is very difficult. Are you mentally prepared for this?"
Xiao Yu looked at the little boy and continued talking.
"I do. I'm very good. I can already memorize all the Tao Te Ching, and I can also draw talismans. My adoptive father taught me this! But my adoptive father said that he will go to a far away place in a few years and will not have time to teach.
Me”.
The little boy seemed to have reached a point of sadness and looked back at Gou Changqing with some reluctance.
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and then said, "Okay, since you want to learn Taoism, I will give you a chance. Here is a complete collection of talismans. I will give you three years. After three years, if you can draw them all, I will accept them."
If you can't do it, then there is nothing I can do."
Xiao Yu took down a thumb-thick complete collection of talismans from the altar. These talismans were all ordinary talismans that were sold in the market outside. They were not very precious things.
And Xiao Yu's doing this is also a test for the other party. Although the other party is young, he is already several years older than when he and his grandfather left. He can make up for his shortcomings through hard work. If the other party has the perseverance, let alone three years, two years.
Time is enough.
The little boy took the talisman book, then nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I will definitely succeed."
"Well, three years later, if you come to me, I will test you."
"Okay, it's a deal."
After the little boy finished speaking, he looked back at Gou Changqing. When he saw that Gou Changqing was looking at him with a smile, he stood up and gave Xiao Yu a respectful salute.
"Taoist Master Gou, see you again in three years. This child needs a lot of hard work. Besides, I have to go out and it will take a long time to come back. And he is too young. You should take care of him more. After three years, as long as he completes the tasks I assigned,
I will definitely accept him, don’t worry.”
Xiao Yu used this method to temporarily reject the other party, but if the boy did it, he would not break his promise and would still accept him. Although the other party was mediocre, as long as he worked hard, everything would change.
"Okay, with Master Xiao's words, I feel relieved and I will leave first."
Gou Changqing was an old man and naturally knew what Xiao Yu meant, so he didn't stop and took the little boy directly downstairs.
Seeing the other party leaving, Qinglong couldn't help but frown and said, "I checked this kid's body and found that he is just an ordinary person, nothing unusual at all. Why did you give him this chance?"
Qinglong likes to be more qualified than indiscriminate, so after he knew that this child was ordinary, he had no intention of accepting him as a disciple.
"As long as the other person is willing to work hard, there is hope. He is still young. Let's see in two years. If he has learned all the talismans, it proves that he has great perseverance and can endure hardships. Why can't we accept such a child?"
Xiao Yu stood up, stretched, and then said, "Let's go, we are leaving in two days. This trip is probably going to be bloody again, so we have to be prepared."
During this period, Xiao Yu has been busy. Although he is also meditating and practicing, the progress of his cultivation is very slow, so he needs a battle to train himself and see if he can find an opportunity to break through in his cultivation.
The two of them went downstairs one after another. Xiao Yu stayed with his family and continued to enjoy the short life together, while Lao Bai and the ghost corpse went to the basement to practice. Next, they will go to the south with Xiao Yu.
In the evening, Xiao Yu invited Xiao Ping, Xiao Jie, Xiao Qin, Bai Zimo and others here and informed them that Xiao Xue was leaving, because now, Xiao Jie and the others were still in school and were about to graduate.
So I'm very busy, and I don't have much time to interact with Xiao Yu, but I usually have more phone calls.
"Xiao Xue, you are leaving. I don't know when I will see you again."
Xiao Qin and Xiao Xue sat together and said with depressed expressions.
"What are you afraid of? It's so convenient to come back now. I'll come back when I'm free. Or when Xiao Yu comes to see us next time, you go with him and ask him to reimburse you for the round-trip air tickets. Then you can see us."
Xiao Xue has figured it out in the past two days that leaving now is the best choice. Although she is not very relieved about Xiao Yu, she is afraid that after she leaves for a few years, another mistress will appear next to Xiao Yu.
With Xiao Yu's personality, Xiao Xue is not afraid of anything, but the current environment is different. There is Bai Zimo, who is romantic, and Qinglong, who is usually not in shape. Under the leadership of these two people, Xiao Yu can emerge from the mud.
If you don't dye it, that's the devil.
But Xiao Xue has thought about it now. As long as Xiao Yu can be safe, those are all trivial matters, because men are outside, and those scenes are indispensable. In addition, Xiao Yu is not very good at this, and the most important thing is that he is a
Taoist priest.
Xiao Xue naturally knew that Taoist priests were pure and celibate, so during her pregnancy, she didn't hear anything about what he was doing.
"Oh, it's pitiful. There will be no place for me to earn a living in the future. You are too cruel. It looks like I, Mr. Bai, will starve to death on the streets soon."
When Bai Zimo heard that Xiao Xue and his family were leaving, and that Xiao Yu was going to the south for business, he suddenly felt lonely.
"What are you lamenting? We hire world-famous chefs to cook at home and eat nutritious meals, but you will starve to death? You eat pickles every day here, which makes your eldest son miserable to death."
Xiao Yu sat on the sofa and said jokingly.
"What do you know? Although you have a simple meal, you can have the feeling of a Manchu banquet. Alas, even if I tell you, you don't understand. You are a rough man, a man who does not know the style."
Bai Zimo sat with his legs crossed, looking aggrieved.
Xiao Yu glanced at the other party, then looked at Xiao Jie and said, "I'll leave you the key when you leave. Come here to see if you have nothing to do. If you don't have a place to live when you're looking for a job, you can stay here. You don't have to rent a house outside, but remember
, don’t bring messy people back, I will come back to check at any time.”
In Xiao Xue's words, Xiao Jie is also the kind of man who is rather sultry and doesn't look serious at ordinary times, but if he is really asked to do something, he is obedient and doesn't dare to do anything.
As for Xiao Ping, although he is not as handsome as Xiao Jie, he is very courageous. He often heard that he took a girl to rent a house outside, so Xiao Yu did not dare to give him the house.
