Chapter 1 I don’t want to take on a disciple, but he gives too much
"Senior, this is my apprenticeship ceremony!"
The young man placed the three rosewood boxes in front of Li Xuan respectfully.
"You misunderstood. I'm not a hidden master, and I don't accept disciples. Take it back!"
Li Xuan said with a slight headache.
The young man's name is Xu Yan. He is a son of a wealthy family from the county. His family background makes Li Xuan, who has traveled to this world, quite envious. However, the other person is not very bright and mistakenly thinks that he is a hidden master and must worship him as his teacher.
.
It has been more than ten years since I traveled to this world. There is no system, no plug-ins, and I can't even get out of the small mountain village. What's even worse is that now, he is the only one left in this small village.
The small mountain village is surrounded by steep cliffs, with only a narrow passage about a foot wide leading in and out. It is a good place to live in seclusion. The ancestors of the village also moved here to avoid the war.
Now that there is no war in the outside world, the younger generation in the village is unwilling to live a mediocre life in this small mountain village, so they begin to leave the mountain village and go out to explore.
The village is hundreds of miles away from the nearest town, and the road is very dangerous, especially through a dense forest where vicious tigers and beasts often appear.
Over the past ten years, the population in the village has gradually decreased. By the time Li Xuan crossed over, there were only a dozen households in the village, and most of them were elderly people left behind.
Including Li Xuan, there are only five young men in the village, and they are unwilling to stay in the small village. They want to leave the village and go to the city to make a living. The same goes for Li Xuan.
However, the journey was dangerous, especially the thirty-mile evil forest that had to be passed through. Evil tigers and ferocious beasts were infested. Several young men who had left the village died in the evil forest.
One day ten years ago, a villager who had left the village returned to the village and wanted to take his mother to live in the city. He claimed that he had learned the art of killing tigers and was not afraid of evil forest tigers.
So Li Xuan and several young men left the village together with each other.
Although there are tigers and fierce beasts in the Thirty Mile Evil Forest, if you are lucky, you can pass by safely without encountering tigers or beasts.
Li Xuan and his party were not very lucky.
A colorful tiger appeared.
The guy who claimed to have learned the art of killing tigers immediately held a sharp knife in his hand, roared, and rushed forward with a sliding shovel...
Only Li Xuan of the group escaped with his life in embarrassment and returned to the small mountain village. He always believed that the reason why he was able to escape with his life was that when he saw the guy making a sliding shovel, he turned around decisively and ran away.
This tiger-killing technique is too unreliable, and you will be sent directly into the tiger's mouth!
Since then, only Li Xuan was left in the village, a young and strong old man who had lost his loved ones. They passed away one after another in the past ten years, until half a month ago, Li Xuan sent away the last old man in the village.
Looking at the empty mountain village, with only himself left, Li Xuan felt sad and angry. The other time-travelers either rose up against the trend or had extraordinary backgrounds.
And what about yourself?
You can’t even leave the small mountain village!
Without a system or plug-ins, I might end up alone in a small mountain village.
"Oh, I thought I could become the person in the online novels who could cut down demons and demons across the world with one sword, become a saint, and stand proud for eternity. I really thought too much."
Li Xuan sighed inwardly and laughed at himself: "You can't even get out of a small mountain village, but you still want to reach thousands of miles with a sword? Haha!"
Because of this self-deprecating sentence, Xu Yan, who didn't know how he came to the small mountain village, heard the following sentence "A sword spans thousands of miles" and mistakenly thought that he was a hidden master. He knelt down with a pop and asked to worship.
He is a teacher.
"Senior, I finally found you. Please accept me as your disciple and teach me my unique magical skills!"
"What?!"
Li Xuan was startled, his eyes widened, and he was a little confused when he looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, who was gorgeously dressed and had a long sword on his waist.
"Junior Xu Yan from Donghe County has made up his mind since he was a child to find the true martial arts. Today I have the opportunity to meet my senior. I am lucky for the rest of my life. I also hope that my senior will accept me as his disciple. I will work hard to practice and never let down the legacy passed down by my senior!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Looking at the young man with fanatical eyes and kowtowing respectfully, Li Xuan looked confused. The first thought in his mind was: This kid is not very smart!
No matter how much Li Xuan refused and how much he denied that he was a hidden master, Xu Yan still didn't believe it and insisted on becoming his disciple. His enthusiastic look gave Li Xuan a headache.
"I'm not a hidden master, and I don't know how to practice martial arts. You've found the wrong person. I'm still looking for someone to teach me how to practice martial arts!"
"impossible!"
Xu Yan's eyes were firm and he said: "Senior, please stop lying to me, you must be a hidden master!"
"Look here, surrounded by cliffs and beautiful scenery. It looks like a secluded place to live in seclusion. If the senior is not a reclusive expert, why does he live here alone?"
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple, I will never let down your legacy!"
Xu Yan continued to kowtow, his eyes fervent and firm.
"I'm not a hidden master. I don't know how to cultivate. I don't know how to accept disciples. You really have found the wrong person..."
Li Xuan had a look of helplessness on his face. How could this kid be so stupid? He didn't know how he got through the Evil Forest and arrived at the small village.
In order to find a hidden master, have you ruined your brain?
"I understand!"
Xu Yan suddenly stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
"Apprenticeship is a big deal, how can we be hasty? This junior will go back and prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony!"
With Li Xuan looking confused, Xu Yan ran away and soon disappeared.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
For half a month, Li Xuan had been annoyed that he had not seized the opportunity to learn about the outside world from Xu Yan, and even took this opportunity to see if he could leave the small mountain village.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yan came again.
Moreover, the apprenticeship ceremony was brought!
I am determined to worship him as my teacher!
No matter how much he denies it, he firmly believes that he is a hidden master.
Li Xuan didn't want to lie to anyone, especially to a guy with an extraordinary background. He had no cheats and no system. Once he was found out, the consequences would be disastrous.
So despite repeated rejections and denials, Xu Yan was stubborn and decided that he was a hidden master who could not be pulled back even by nine oxen!
"Senior, this is three hundred taels of gold. I know that yellow and white things are not in the eyes of seniors, but the apprenticeship ceremony is indispensable. This is a bit of sincerity from this junior!"
Xu Yan opened one of the boxes and found thirty gold ingots neatly arranged inside.
Li Xuan looked at the gold ingot, swallowed, and was a little moved, but finally gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I will not accept disciples! I am not a hidden master, take it back quickly, I am not a few years older than you!"
"
"Although the senior looks young, it must be because of his successful cultivation and his youthfulness!"
Xu Yan still firmly believed that he was a hidden master and opened the second box.
"This is the thousand-year-old mountain ginseng treasured by my Xu family. It is the second apprenticeship ceremony for the junior. I hope the senior will accept it!"
Li Xuan swallowed and looked at the thousand-year-old wild ginseng in the box with its roots intact and already in human form. The faint fragrance of ginseng penetrated his nostrils, and his whole body seemed to be refreshed.
Thousand-year-old wild ginseng is undoubtedly a rare thing. An old man in the village once said that the thousand-year-old wild ginseng can extend the life of a dying person for three days, strengthen his vitality and prolong his life.
The century-old mountain ginseng has this miraculous effect, and the thousand-year-old mountain ginseng is naturally even more effective.
Li Xuan was a little moved, but he gritted his teeth and continued: "Take it back, I am really not a hidden master, and I have no way to practice!"
Xu Yan opened the third box: "Senior, this is Jiuye Yuanzhi, junior's third apprenticeship ceremony!"
Nine-leaf Yuanzhi!
Li Xuan couldn't take his eyes away. The old man in the village once said that his ancestors said that the nine-leaf Yuanzhi is the best in the world. If you take the nine-leaf Yuanzhi, you will not get sick from all diseases, your mind will not be exhausted, your hair will turn black but not white, and your life will be extended for twenty years!
A rare treasure in the world!
Li Xuan looked at the jade-white Nine-leaf Yuanzhi in the box, which was shaped like a Ganoderma lucidum and had nine purple leaves on its handle. He took a deep breath, tried hard to look away, and gave a pretentious sigh.
"That's all! You are here by fate, so I will accept you as my teacher!"
Xu Yan really gave me too much, and I couldn’t bear to refuse!
