Chapter Eleven Apprenticeship

After the wolf boy wrote a letter to his family, he kept wondering whether Sister Chixia could deliver the letter as scheduled? How did she get the bird to deliver the letter? Could she teach the bird to read pictures and words?

Worried and curious at the same time, he urged Yoko to go find out.

The next day, Yoko went to find Chixia and asked if the letter had been delivered. Chixia said that it had been delivered, and she also saw an old man with gray hair and a long beard picking up the letter.

"Is there a crooked jujube tree in front of your house?" Chixia asked Yangzi.

"Well, that seems to be the case," Yoko muttered, "I've been away from home for a while, so I can't remember clearly."

"Who are you, that old man with gray hair and beard?"

"Uh, it's my father, no, it's my grandfather." Yoko replied hesitantly, and then left quickly.

Looking at Yoko's leaving figure, Chixia shook her head in confusion.

Yang Zi took the time to report the situation to Wolf Boy. After hearing what he said, Wolf Boy felt relieved and said, "That's my home. The one with the long beard is my father."

"The description is so clear, as if she saw it with her own eyes, could it be that the bird told her?" the wolf boy asked Yangzi with some confusion.

"Yeah, maybe she can really turn into a bird and fly away on her own." Yoko said with a smile.

The wolf boy took out a book and said, "You haven't come to listen to my lectures for a long time. Come on, I'll give you some extra lessons." After saying that, he went to open the wood door, and a patch of sunlight came in.

At that moment, the two of them sat in the woodshed and started studying.

"Actually, there are a few things in this book that I don't understand. It would be great if I could ask the master about it." Wolf Boy said, "It's not appropriate for you to ask, right?"

"Yes, it would be great if the master could accept you and me as his disciples, so that we don't have to study secretly in this shabby house all the time."

While the two were concentrating on their lessons, a bird flew quietly, landed on the wood door, and looked into the room.

For several days after that, when the wolf boy was studying, he would often find a bird near the firewood house, flying around in front of the house, or resting on the wood door, or on the surrounding trees. This bird is really beautiful, with a red beak.

It has purple feathers and green feet, and a melodious and long cry. The wolf gradually fell in love with this bird, and sometimes he missed it even if he didn't come for a day.

Several months passed, and the weather gradually became warmer, and the ice and snow began to melt. It was already "the gentle spring breeze blowing, but it is getting warmer, and the cold dew is the beginning of spring."

On this day, when the wolf boy and Yoko were thinking about magic together, the wolf boy suddenly pricked up his ears, listened for a while and said: "There is a beast running through the woods and coming this way!"

After hearing this, Yangzi was shocked and ran out of the firewood house to look in the woods. Sure enough, he saw a horse and a horse rushing out of the woods. When he took a closer look, he saw what kind of horse and horse it was. It was clearly a tiger crossing a path.

People are rushing to the Taoist temple.

This Taoist has a face like Fu powder, lips like cinnabar, a green gauze scarf on his head, two flowing belts on the back of his head, an emerald Yin-Yang Taoist robe, a pair of cloud-stepping shoes on his feet, and a double-strap Queen Mother knot at the waist.

Yangzi couldn't help but said in shock: "It's Master Lingmei who's back!" He hurried back to the Taoist temple to report. The wolf boy here hurriedly avoided talking.

Master Lingmei came to the temple, and Master Hongji and Master Xuanqing had already led all the disciples to greet them. The disciples were all dumbfounded when they saw the master coming with a tiger, majestic and majestic, and the tiger sitting under him, so ferocious and terrifying.

They looked at each other in shock, not daring to say a word. When the Master saw the crowd, he rolled down from the tiger. With a wave of Buddha's dust, the tiger turned around and went straight to the mountain forest, and disappeared after a while.

Chixia stepped forward to worship the master, and then she helped the master into the hall surrounded by everyone. She sat down one by one. After greeting everyone for a while, the master said: "The poor Taoist travels around the world, picking flowers to build hats, and breaking weeds to spread the grass.

, Breathe sweet springs to rinse your teeth, chew pine and cypress trees to prolong your life, avoid being trapped in a cage and disappear, and escape from the vulgar world to cultivate your true nature."

"The day before yesterday, I met an immortal guest on the road. I sat down to discuss Taoism, study the past and talk about the present. I lamented the rise and fall of the previous dynasty and the current world, and worried about the suffering of the common people in the world. They all thought that those who cultivate immortals should expound the Taoism and promote the orthodox teachings of the Supreme Being.

, to benefit the world, to eliminate the demonic atmosphere in the world, and to save all living beings." The master sighed, "However, the poor monk is old and can only pass on what he has learned in his life to future generations, teach the world with great righteousness, and save the people from water and fire."

The master asked Hongji and Xuanqing: "Two great masters, who have many wise disciples, can you recommend a few disciples with superb academic skills and extraordinary intelligence, who can personally teach the scriptures and teach Taoism?"

Master Xuanqing replied: "The two of us have had this intention for a long time. We have been teaching carefully and cultivating them with all our heart, just to select good talents who can fall into the wise eyes of the Dharma Master and be accepted as disciples."

"Yes, we will set up an altar assessment tomorrow and carefully select talented people to worship under the Master and learn from him." Master Hongji took over the words and said.

When the disciples heard that they were expected to be accepted as disciples by Master Lingmei, they were both happy and worried. What they were happy about was that they would have such an opportunity to study under the Master and rise to great heights. What they were worried about was that they were not good at studying and would not be selected. At that moment

Everyone has their own thoughts and goes back to prepare.

After the assessment was completed the next day, Master Hongji discussed with Master Xuanqing for a long time, and finally decided to recommend two disciples, Zuo Dian and Ye Chengshi, to the Master. He led them one by one to the hall to meet the Master.

When Master Lingmei saw the two of them, one had beautiful features and a majestic air, while the other had straight facial features and was majestic and upright. He nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the Master's approval, the two people immediately went forward to pay homage: "Honored Master, I will receive three bows from my disciples!" After the ceremony, they met Fairy Chixia next to them and worshiped as their senior sister.

Master Lingmei smiled and asked Hong Ji and Xuan Qing: "Are these two apprentices the only ones?"

The two of them replied: "The two of us carefully screened and only found these two people. The rest have little talent and little knowledge, and they are not worthy of the Dharma Master's discernment."

The master laughed loudly and said: "You two also have a master who is hiding in the firewood house and refuses to recommend it to me." He turned to Chixia and said, "Send it to Zhenyangzi and ask him to bring him to see you." Chixia.

Xia took the order and went out.

Master Hongji and Master Xuanqing looked at each other, confused. They thought to themselves, what other masters are there that we don’t know about?

After a while, Chixia led Yangzi and Langzai into the hall. It turned out that yesterday evening, Chixia had called Yangzi to the mage for questioning, and Yangzi had to tell the whole story. Chixia

He also told Master Lingmei what he had observed over the past few days.

Master Lingmei called Wolf Boy close to him and asked him some questions about numerology and magical arts. Wolf Boy answered them one by one without missing a beat. Master Hongji and Master Xuanqing were stunned to hear what Lang Boy said.

Answer, it is the secret skills that the two people truly taught. Not only did they master the essence, but they also displayed them incisively, which has the potential to surpass them.

Master Lingmei was overjoyed and told everyone the whole story. Then he made Langzi become his master, and also made him his two senior brothers and sisters. He also asked Master Hongji and Master Xuanqing to accept Zhenyangzi as their disciples and train him well.

It goes without saying that everyone was very happy.
