Chapter 903: Ninth Uncle Accepts Apprentices Again
Uncle Jiu knew that at the end of today, Lin Tianqi would officially leave Guangzhou for Singapore. After leaving, he really didn’t know when he would be able to come back and see the master and apprentice again.
I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of separation. It was fine when Lin Tianqi was in Guangzhou. Although they were two places apart, Guangzhou and Fengshui Town were not far away, and every few months Lin Tianqi would bring many friends with him.
Jie came back to live for a while, and if anything happened, the master and apprentice could easily contact each other through the spirit bird. But now that Lin Tianqi is gone, things are really different.
The sorrow of separation came to mind, and at the same time there was a slight sense of loneliness. Although Xu Dongsheng's family was also in Fengshui Town, they had already lived separately, and there was still only one person in Nuo Da's house at night.
"Hey, Brother Dong, look, the master seems to be in a bad mood today." In the Rouge store, across the street and the store door, Tian Rong noticed the look on Uncle Jiu's face opposite him, and grabbed Xu Dongsheng's arm and said.
When Xu Dongsheng heard this, he immediately looked over and saw that there was only one person in the store, Uncle Jiu, who was looking in the direction of Guangzhou City in a daze, with a look of relief on his face. He thought about it and said immediately.
"Today is the day when senior brother, Xiaojie and the others are leaving Guangzhou for Singapore. They have gone so far and we still don't know when we will see each other again. Master, this must be the reason."
Tian Rong nodded immediately after hearing this, and understood in her heart. Looking at Uncle Jiu who was still in a daze in the shop across the street, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said -
"There must be one reason why Senior Brother and Xiao Jie went to Singapore, but I think there must be another reason?"
"What's the reason?" Xu Dongsheng immediately looked at Tian Rong in confusion.
"Think about it, since we got married and moved out, senior brother also took Xu Jie to Guangzhou and rarely had time to come back. Master faces such a big house alone every night. Isn't it lonely?"
After all, she is a girl, and Tian Rong has always been more thoughtful. She is not a rough guy like Xu Dongsheng. She is far more meticulous in observing and thinking about some things than Xu Dongsheng. Ever since she married Xudong and moved out, and Lin Tianqi took her
After Xu Jie went to Guangzhou, she felt that Uncle Jiu would sometimes show a kind of loneliness when he was alone, and his whole person showed a feeling of loneliness.
And this kind of thing can be imagined if you think about it carefully. Uncle Jiu is now in his forties and almost fifty years old. Although his body is much healthier and stronger than that of ordinary people, he has indeed entered old age. For anyone,
For a normal elderly person who has entered old age, can he not feel lonely when he faces the empty big house in Nuoda without anyone every night?
After Tian Rong said this, Xu Dongsheng suddenly woke up. Although he was very nervous, he was not really stupid. Most of the time, he just didn't think of things. If someone reminded him, he would naturally wake up and understand easily, and immediately said
.
"Yes, in such a big house, the master is alone every night, and it is indeed quite lonely. So do you think we should bring the master over to live with us?"
Tian Rong heard the words and said so.
"It's okay if the master agrees, but you should also know the master's character. I'm afraid he won't be willing if we propose it."
This is not because Tian Rong has any selfish motives for not wanting Uncle Jiu to move here, but because after being married for such a long time, Tian Rong has already understood a lot about Uncle Jiu's character. She knows in her heart that Uncle Jiu belongs to
People who have strong inner self-esteem and strong independence, if they ask Uncle Jiu to move in with them, Uncle Jiu will probably not agree, and I'm afraid they won't feel comfortable if they move here.
"What should we do?" Xu Dongsheng asked, scratching the back of his head.
"Didn't the master and dad mention that they wanted to accept more apprentices before when they had dinner and drinks? I think we should just let the master accept one or two more apprentices. Then we will live with the master and this matter will be solved."
Hearing this, Xu Dongsheng patted the back of his head again and said with bright eyes.
"It seems that the master brought it up like this, and now that the senior brother and I are married, it would be good for the master to accept a few more disciples. I have junior disciples, and the master will not feel lonely alone. But looking for
Who is going to go? You can’t accept this person casually. At least his character must pass the test, and you won’t be able to accept people with evil intentions.”
Xu Dongsheng said again.
"That's natural, and for the master to accept disciples, the master must like and agree to it. Do you think that with the master's eyes, he won't be able to see the evil intentions of accepting them?"
Tian Rong said.
"That's true?"
Xu Dongsheng immediately smiled after hearing this.
"It just so happens that my eldest sister has a nephew named Qiu Sheng. He is fourteen years old now. He is quite well-behaved and sensible. Although he is a bit naughty sometimes, he is not bad in nature. I will call him over in two days and let the master take a look."
Tian Rong immediately followed.
"Your nephew?"
Xu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he immediately seemed to think of something and said.
"Hey, that's not right. If the master really falls in love with his disciple, wouldn't he become my junior brother? Wouldn't this generational hierarchy be messed up?"
"Oh, don't worry about this. My eldest sister is not a thing. She said she was going to work outside, but there has been no news for ten years. My eldest sister is left alone to raise a four-year-old child, an orphan.
It has not been easy for my mother to get to this point, and my nephew is still sensible, so I will let the master take a look, just in case the master takes a fancy to it."
“Besides, the good news shouldn’t flow to outsiders!”
Xu Dongsheng thought for a while after hearing this, and thought that this was also the case. If his master really wanted to accept a disciple, he would accept anyone as long as it was suitable, and he would do so immediately.
"That's okay, but we can talk to dad about this matter tonight. It would be more appropriate for dad and master to talk about it."
Tian Rong naturally agreed.
That night, the couple expressed their thoughts to Xu's father and Xu's mother while having dinner. After hearing this, Xu's father and Xu's mother thought it was a good thing and immediately agreed. Finally, it was decided that Xu's father would find time and opportunity to meet with Uncle Jiu.
Talk about this.
The next day, in the morning, while they were drinking tea together, Xu's father indirectly told Uncle Jiu about the matter.
After thinking about it for a long time, Uncle Jiu agreed. However, he did not directly agree to accept the disciple. He just said that he could come and stay here to observe for a while. Uncle Jiu did have the idea of accepting a disciple, and it was as early as half a year ago.
I had this idea a long time ago, but I just didn’t have a suitable disciple.
Now Xu's father has recommended Tian Rong's nephew to him. As long as his character is decent and his character is not a big problem, Uncle Jiu doesn't mind accepting him. Anyway, he is a disciple with good qualifications. He will be satisfied to have his great disciple for the rest of his life.
With Uncle Jiu's approval, Tian Rong immediately sent a message to her natal family. Tian Rong's natal family already knew about Uncle Jiu's situation, and Uncle Jiu's reputation had increased with the year he settled in Fengshui Town.
Over time, the reputation has spread to the surrounding towns and villages, and no one would disagree.
That night, Tian Rong's parents and Tian Rong's eldest sister brought people over, and Uncle Jiu temporarily accepted him as a registered disciple for observation.
More than half a month later, there was a zombie apocalypse in a neighboring town. Uncle Jiu was invited to deal with it. When he came back, there was another Jarhead who looked very timid, a boy of 12 or 13 years old.
More than a month later, in July, the Lin family was in the hall. In the middle of the hall, against the wall, was a altar. On the altar was enshrined a statue of the founder of Maoshan, dressed as a Taoist priest in yellow robes.
Uncle Jiu was dressed in an apricot yellow Taoist robe and stood on the left side in front of the statue with a solemn expression.
Right in front of the statue, there were two young men who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, kneeling respectfully in front of the statue.
Xu's father, Xu's mother, Xu Dongsheng, and Tian Rong were standing at the door, with Tian Rong still holding the child in her arms.
"Qiu Sheng, Wencai, you two have been following me for more than a month. I think you two are not bad in character and can be cultivated. Today I will officially accept you two as my disciples in Maoshan."
Looking at the two young men kneeling on the ground, Uncle Jiu said solemnly.
When the two people on the ground heard this, they immediately raised their heads in surprise, looked at each other, and then kowtowed to Uncle Jiu.
"Meet the master!"
Uncle Jiu nodded slightly, accepted the bow calmly, and then said.
"Today you two have entered my sect. Even my Maoshan disciples must remember to abide by my Maoshan precepts. Firstly, they must not deceive the master and destroy the ancestors. Secondly, they must not kill each other in the same sect. Thirdly, they must not do evil..."
"yes!"
After Uncle Jiu finished explaining the sect rules, the two of them immediately responded.
"In addition, above the two of you, there are two other disciples, your senior brothers. The second senior brother is at the door. You already know it, so I won't say more. The senior senior brother is Lin Tianqi.
But now that he has gone abroad, I will let you know him when he comes back later..."
"Okay, get up now. From now on, you can practice hard as your teacher."
"yes!"
The two immediately got up from the ground again, looking happy.
Seeing this, the four people at the door, Father Xu, Mother Xu, Tian Rong, and Xu Dongsheng, also smiled and walked in.
"From now on, if you follow Master, you must practice well and be obedient. If you let me know that you are disobedient, I will not punish you."
As soon as Tian Rong came in, she warned Qiu Sheng.
Qiu Sheng was rather afraid of Tian Rong, an aunt, and immediately shrank his neck when he heard this.
"I know, aunt."
"Come, call Senior Brother and listen."
Xu Dongsheng hugged Wencai and said with a smile.
"Senior brother."
Wencai immediately said honestly.
When Xu Dongsheng heard this, he immediately felt refreshed. The master finally accepted another apprentice. He was very happy to have a junior apprentice.
"Elder brother will definitely not think that the master has accepted two more junior brothers."
Xu Dongsheng smiled and looked at Uncle Jiu again.
Uncle Jiu also smiled slightly when he heard this.
