Chapter 7 The most fearful thing is to lie to yourself

"Master Zhang, are you leaving like this?!" He was still waiting for Zhang Qian to continue testing himself, but unexpectedly, the other party left as soon as he said he could not stop him, and Ren Cong was so angry that he jumped high.

Except for the three words "Master Zhang", Zhang Qian could not understand any other words. He turned around and smiled and hugged his fists, and continued to strode towards Jixiang Temple.

"Master..." Ren Cong was angry and anxious, and stood there and stamped his feet repeatedly.

Although the masters he invited home in the past were all liars and had never taught him any unique skills. But at least for the sake of money and food, he would try every means to make him happy. Today, Master Zhang is good, and he didn't even test him. After asking a few inexplicable words, he left.

"Young Lord, this Master Zhang is definitely extraordinary!" Just as Ren Cong hesitated whether to jump onto his mount and chase after him, and beat Master Zhang first to vent his anger, his general Ren Quan suddenly lowered his head and whispered a reminder in front of his ear.

"Nonsense!" Ren Cong was filled with evil fire and immediately found the target of venting. He coldly avoided his head and roared in a low voice, "Of course this guy is weird, you should say it?! There is no way out, but there is no one who has been lost even years?! This guy is clearly testing, clearly teasing Ren! This guy doesn't know at all! Ren Quan, chase me and teach him a lesson first! No matter whether he is a master or not, Ren must try his best to learn from his master today, and he must let out this anger first!"

"Young man, please calm down your anger! calm down your anger!" The more Ren Cong said, the more he became more and more distorted, and the general Ren Quan quickly reached out and grabbed his arm. "I said he was extraordinary, not that he had lost his years, nor that he deliberately neglected the Young Man. I said that not only did he dress unusually, but his behavior was also different from that of ordinary people."

"Nonsense, how can normal people be so rude? When Ren heard the shouts, he immediately took the risk to come to rescue him, but he teased Ren again and again?!" Ren Cong's face was still blushing with anger, but the shouting became much smaller and he did not take any more actions.

"Young man, please listen to me to finish my words!" For fear that Ren Cong would cause trouble, the general Ren Quan shook his hand with the hand that held his arm and quickly replenished, "The thing in his hand is not a unique weapon, it is just a package with a strap sewn. It turns out that what should be placed inside was a book, and the gravels were stuffed in the last battle!"

"So what? He must find something hard to stuff into the package if he doesn't want to be eaten by a wolf!" Ren Cong rolled his eyelids at him and responded angrily.

"The wolf was killed, both ends. The wrapping skin was intact. The books inside did not seem to rot!" Ren Quan, the general of the family, was much better than Ren Cong, the rich young master. He continued to remind him patiently, "When the master poured stones on the ground just now, his subordinates secretly looked into his package. There were many interlayers inside, and the openings of each interlayer were sealed with rows of gold nails. Each of the golden nails was only the size of an ant, and they were not bad at all!" (Metal zipper)

Fearing that his young man would not understand, he pinched the thumb and index finger of the other hand together, and gestured to the "Golden Nailer" with his hand.

However, most of his efforts were in vain. The rich young man Ren Cong didn't think how rare it was to rows of golden nails that were as big as an ant, and they were just right between each other. Instead, he focused his attention on his first sentence, "The package is really not damaged at all, can you see clearly?"

"Young man, my subordinates have been traveling around the world for so many years, and I have never missed these eyes!" Dissatisfied with Ren Cong's doubts about his ability, Ren Quan blushed and reminded him loudly.

The rich young man Ren Cong completely ignored his shame and slapped his hands, laughed and said, "I understand, that package is a treasure! It is used to cover things on the surface, but in fact it is a magic weapon!"

"Young man!" Ren Quan was so angry that he couldn't deny that his young man's words made sense. He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to express his true meaning. "Even if the golden nails were not made of pure gold, they could be made into the size of an ant, and it was extremely rare to have a slight difference between them. There were several rows of golden nails sewn inside, but the master only used to hold books and smash the wolf's heads. How luxurious is the life the master usually lives? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is spending money like soil. Also, even if the master does not eat meat, the wolf skins of the two wolves can be exchanged for hundreds of Tongbaos if they peel off the wolf skins with a single tin. However, the master didn't even read them and threw them into the wilderness!"

"Nonsense, how could someone who uses gold nails to make a bag to buckle them, how could he look at two wolf skins?!" The anger in Ren Cong's stomach disappeared in an instant. He turned to look at Zhang Qian's gradually moving back, and quickly made up his mind.

If Master Zhang had spent money like soil since he was a child, it would be understandable that Ren Cong's "sincerity" was not favored. After all, the Ren family was near Chang'an City and could only be considered wealthy. Although the family had both farms and business names, they had never produced any famous scholars or high-ranking officials.

And those masters in the legendary world will not easily have anything to do with ordinary people. And the greater their ability, the higher their vision.

Thinking of this, Master Zhang's previous rejection of his invitation and left was not offensive. As the saying goes, the phoenix is ​​not a sycamore tree. He Ren Cong could not invite the master, so he could only blame himself for his lack of sincerity and his own farm can't catch the master's eyes.

But how could Ren Cong be willing to miss the opportunity to become a disciple of a master? Just as he was slashing his heart and thinking about what he could do to impress "Master Zhang", the general Ren Quan flies in his ears, "And, Young Master. Even if his subordinates want to kill two wolves, they must use weapons. Master Zhang killed the wolf with only wrapping. The strength on his arm is probably impossible to find an opponent in the entire Renjiazhuang!"

"I said that the package is a treasure!" Ren Cong was anxious to figure out how to learn from his master, and scolded impatiently, "What's the use of saying this? The master left, and he didn't even bother to give me the chance of testing!"

"This..." Ren Quan was scolded and blushed. He hesitated for a moment, and hesitated, "But Mr. Shao, you didn't mention the matter of becoming a disciple just now! My subordinates thought that the master might not be disdainful to test you, but disdainful and did not want to be with us!"

"That's different?!" Ren Cong stomped his feet, his eyes filled with grievances.

He looked quite mature on the surface, but in fact, he was only in his early 18 years old (the ancients were considered a vacant year). Therefore, when he was rejected for the first time, he was inevitably discouraged. However, the general of the family Ren Quan was an old world. Seeing that his young man was so sad, he immediately comforted him carefully, "It's different. He refused to visit the village, but did not refuse to go with you. The young man took us to follow him, and stopped talking about being a guest, just to go along, and then adapted to the situation. According to his subordinates' observation, although Master Xiao Zhang's identity is mysterious, he is not a difficult person to deal with, and he is a little awkward in dealing with people. If his subordinates make a judgment, he is very likely to leave the mountain gate for the first time. At this time, if the young man can take the initiative to provide him with some help, it will be a timely help!"

"Yes, young man, a good girl is afraid of relying on men to be bad!"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's what sincerity can open up the metal and stone!"

...

Ren Wu, Ren Liu and other turbans also came forward and gave Ren Cong a lot of advice.

People are most afraid of lying themselves. Many telephone and online frauds in the 21st century are not very clever at all. But they can't resist some people, and they take the initiative to fill all loopholes for the scammers, but they can't stop them.

In the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, the principle was the same. Zhang Qiang's behavior and words were incompatible with the masters. But he couldn't resist Ren Cong's eagerness to ask for advice from experts, and all the wear and personal belongings on him were unprecedented in Ren Cong.

So, after recovering from the blow from being turned away, the rich young master Ren Cong strode to chase Zhang Qian. The mount he used to travel with was Ren Wu and Ren Liu to take care of, fearing that after riding the horse, he would appear arrogant and cause displeasure among the masters!

"Please invite Master Xiao Zhang back. Even if he is not a master, it will be a great achievement for the Ren family to figure out the origin of his clothes and personal belongings! If he can find a craftsman to copy it, his family's business will definitely be able to go to another level!" Looking at the pious back of his young man Ren Cong, the family general Ren Quan breathed a long sigh and looked relieved. "Maybe the owner of the manor will immediately save me from my hard work and transfer me to Chang'an City to be a shopkeeper!"

After accompanying Ren Cong to find a master for so many years, he has been tired and tired. The same is true for Ren Wu, Ren Liu, Ren Qi and others!

"Gaga, gaga, gaga..." A few crows returned from foraging and flew over the heads of everyone. While shouting, they threw down several balls of bird shit! Regarding the pronunciation of ancient people in the book, the pronunciation of people in the Tang Dynasty was not simple Shaanxi dialect. The pronunciation of ancient people is much more complicated than that of modern times. For example, a chestnut, according to research, "Looking at the moonlight in front of the window, it is suspected to be frost on the ground." The pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty was, "The wall really looks at the light of socks, and the mud is fragrant." Thanks to the toad for the recommendation, thanks to all readers for comments and support. Dear Dahuang (brother), the author bows to you.
