Chapter 154 Failed to take in disciples

Qiu Zhiqing started his own journey with a piece of banner that "hangs the pot to save the world". He had no destination and wanted to find Bai Zhi, but when he recalled, what could he do to find her?

It’s better to find an apprentice to be satisfied with it!

At the beginning of May, Qiu Zhiqing was speechless when he looked at Longhu Mountain in front of him. Unexpectedly, he came back after a circle. He thought that there were still some questions before and wanted to ask Master Zhang Tian.

So Qiu Zhiqing came to visit him, but a monk told him that Master Zhang Tian had traveled down the mountain, missing his place, and nowhere to go...

Isn't this just hiding from him? Needless to say, this is hiding from him, otherwise when he wanted to come and visit, he would know how could it be so coincidental that he happened to go out for a tour.

Regardless of Master Zhang, he left as soon as he wanted, carrying the banner of "hanging a pot to save the world", Qiu Zhiqing continued to travel! Recently, he discovered that being a traveling doctor is much more convenient than being a traveling Taoist priest.

At least three days, Qiu Zhiqing didn't dare to move the 1,000 taels of silver. He was thinking about whether he could build a small Taoist temple at that time. It would be enough to build a small Taoist temple with a thousand guan.

Shortly after leaving Longhu Mountain, Qiu Zhiqing passed by a stone bridge, but saw a group of children shouting and jumping by the river not far away. Two children were drowning in the river.

One person seemed to be pulled by something, and the other person must be relying on the good water quality, so he thought about going into the water to save people, but unexpectedly he was caught by the person who fell into the water.

Just when Qiu Zhiqing was planning to go over to save the person, a shepherd boy took the rope of the cow and swung it a few times, and then directly put it on the man who fell into the water.

Unfortunately, the underwater thing was a bit powerful, so he almost pulled him down. Seeing this, the other children ran away and shouted, Qiu Zhiqing saw this,

Between a few ups and downs, the shepherd boy who was pulling ropes on the shore grabbed the hemp rope and exerted a little force. The two men in the water, together with one of the water monkeys that held them, pulled them out of the water.

After the water monkey was pulled out of the water, she was a little panicked and hurriedly let go and wanted to go into the water, but she felt that the whole monkey, together with the two children, moved horizontally towards the shore.

The water monkey landed on the shore wanted to get up and run away. He could only hear a few "hissing" sounds. The water monkey lay on the ground and stopped moving, but the "squeaking" sound made in his mouth.

On top of the limbs, there was a shallow wound, and the blood flowed continuously.

A few terrified children were far away, but the child who had used hemp rope to save people was not afraid. Instead, he took a stick from a distance with curious expression and poked it there and played.

Looking at the water monkey with hair all over her body, like a teenager in her human body, she was not afraid.

Qiu Zhi asked him to talk to him. Such a courageous child must see if he has a fate with a master and apprentice!

However, before Qiu Zhiqing could speak, a group of people came from behind. A woman ran in the front, shouting his child's nickname while crying.

Seeing that his child was not in danger of life, he hugged him hard in his arms and cried for a while, then beat him up and scolded him. Just as the memories that Qiu Zhiqing saw came to his heart,

The two women pulled their son and knelt in front of Qiu Zhiqing with a plop, leaned over and kowtowed!

Qiu Zhiqing hurried forward and wanted to help them up, but he could only help them up. However, the four of them insisted on not letting go. The villagers next to him also said, "Master, just let them kowtow one, otherwise they will not feel at ease in the rest of their lives!"

"Yes, yes, Taoist priest, I can't repay you for saving my life. Just let them kowtow..."

"Master Taoist, no! Master Immortal, I have no way to repay my life-saving grace. I will definitely make a fortune in the next life and repay it!"

After saying that, Qiu Zhiqing was stunned and knocked three times hard, Qiu Zhiqing hurriedly asked the four of them to get up and said with a smile:

"You all say that I am an immortal, so why will there be a next life? Just as I am about to repay my words, why would I ask me to take my pulse for the two young masters?"

When the two women heard this, they knew that Qiu Zhiqing had good intentions and quickly asked the child to come forward and asked Qiu Zhiqing to help them take their pulse. After a while, Qiu Zhiqing did not prescribe medicine.

Instead, they patted the two of them on the front, chest and back of the back. The two children vomited a few mouthfuls of turbid water. Their face, which was originally scared, improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Otherwise, under the dual effects of drowning and frightening, the two of them would have to get seriously ill. At this time, the young and strong in the village also tied up the water monkey that had basically lost its ability to move.

"This is the water ghost, it looks weird."

"Who said no? Oh, I am still the immortal throne who is so powerful that I caught the water ghost!"

...

Ignoring the discussion on how to kill the village name of this "water ghost", Qiu Zhiqing promised the old people in the village to stay for dinner and stopped participating in their discussion.

He came to the side of the child who had a hemp rope before and sat down on the ridge next to him.

"Why are you so depressed? Didn't you do a good job today?"

"Master, if it weren't for you before, would I be pulled into the river by the water ghost and then eaten by it?"

Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a moment and replied truthfully: "It shouldn't be eaten, but the difference is not very big."

"Master, can I be like you? Just pull it gently and pull the big dog, Erwa and the others up, so that I will not be afraid of being pulled into the water by the water ghost!"

The clan elder came over and answered, "If you don't want to play by the river, don't be afraid of water! Little bastard, go home quickly, your mother will call you again later!"

After saying that, he apologized to ask Qiu Zhiqing to explain his purpose, so he asked Qiu Zhiqing to help do a ritual, saying that he wanted to save the water ghost.

Qiu Zhiqing was very embarrassed. He really had never done rituals. They really didn't seem to have this business. They all regarded Taoist medicine as their main business...

There was no way, and when he saw the golden turtle falling in the sky, Qiu Zhiqing treated it as an evening class. He directly did the evening class and recited the scriptures for a while while cremating the monkey.

The villagers looked at each other. Why is the Taoist priest's form of rituals different from other Taoist priests?

He neither wore a robe nor painted talismans, nor opened an altar. He just sat cross-legged and recited scriptures. No matter how he looked, he was almost the same as those monks. At least he was still knocking on wooden fish...

However, they had just saved the children in the village and did not ask them for money when doing the rituals. Although the villagers were confused, they did not investigate them in depth.

...

When Qiu Zhiqing saw the child again, it was already dinner.

The clan elders believed that Qiu Zhiqing's arrival not only saved the children in their village, but also helped them catch the water ghost, so they entertained Qiu Zhiqing in the ancestral hall in the village.

However, because it was too hasty and there was no time to hold a banquet, Qiu Zhiqing also said that there was no need, so the clan elder asked each family to cook two dishes and serve them together in the ancestral hall to prepare a banquet!

It is hard to refuse the kindness, but the fact that Qiu Zhiqing did not drink alcohol in the meal made the clan elders feel resentful, saying that the immortals looked down on them and did not even drink alcohol with them.

Qiu Zhiqing smiled and said nothing more. Before, these clan elders respectfully sipped on one immortal. After a few bowls of wine, the immortal elders would still scold you...

That night, Qiu Zhiqing spent the night in the tribe’s hometown!

Only then did I realize that I was in Pengze County, opposite the river was Jiangzhou Prefecture (Jiujiang). After counting, it was mid-May, and Qiu Zhiqing wanted to go to Lushan to take a look.

He passed by Lushan several times but never met him. This time he planned to go and see him.

But before again, I should have gained something!

As soon as the day was dawn the next day, the village woke up, the smoke of cooking was dim, the men went out to fetch water, the women cooked at home, and the children got up and played.

However, there is a different scenery in the village today. A Taoist sits cross-legged under the old camphor tree at the entrance of the village. The morning light shines on it through the clouds, just like the old camphor tree, and the shadow is pulled by the old elder.

Children who usually like to make noises look at the scene in front of them, they inexplicably find it attractive. There is no need to play with water or mud, which is much more interesting?

So they all began to learn from Qiu Zhiqing, and under the old camphor tree, they faced the sun and began to meditate!

Soon, Qiu Zhiqing's morning class for Qi Cai ended one after another. Seeing these children looking very well, they couldn't help but feel a childlike heart and slowly started a health boxing technique.

A few children felt bored and left on their own. A few children followed Qiu Zhiqing to play boxing in a straightforward manner, including the child who saved people yesterday.

About two quarters of an hour later, after a boxing trip, the children went home for breakfast one after another. Qiu Zhiqing picked up the banner of "hanging pot to save the world" and was about to leave.

But as he expected, one of them called him: "Captain Xian, come to my house for breakfast before leaving. I didn't thank you very much yesterday. If it weren't for the Captain Xian, my Zong Baoer would have been dragged into the water by that 'water ghost'!"

Qiu Zhiqing already knew that everyone in this village was "dai" and that child's father was called "Zong Baoer". From this, the child was either called "Dai Zong" or "Dai Zongbao".

Anyway, no matter how you say it, Qiu Zhiqing can say that as his apprentice, it sounds very nice. Logically speaking, his next generation is the "Qing" generation, so no matter which name he calls it, it will be bad!

Before he entered the door, he even thought about whether his apprentice's name sounded good. Sure enough, after breakfast, Dad Dai whined and said that he wanted his son to become a disciple.

Qiu Zhiqing did not agree directly, but asked: "My teacher has very strict rules. If you enter my disciple, you must keep the precepts and become a monk and do not be married..."

As expected, the previous ones were all good, and strict teachers produced high disciples, but as soon as the "no marriage" came out, Dai's father and mother immediately stood up to object. However, the children did not understand the seriousness of "no marriage" and were still in aggrieved and pleading!

Seeing this, Qiu Zhiqing had no choice but to say goodbye. Before leaving, he ordered him: "It doesn't matter if you can't become a disciple. You can practice boxing in the morning!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in the little boy's reluctance to leave. The first boy he liked failed to accept his disciples...
