Along the way, Wei Ci had not thought about his next plan.
According to his original plan, he would follow the people on the ship to solve the current cultivation problems first, and then bid farewell and go to the main continent to explore.
Now it seems that this plan may have to be put aside for the time being.
Wei Ci asked respectfully: "Senior Zhang, please give me some advice!"
Zhang Tu looked at his sincere look and said with a smile: "I will show you the way. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your luck!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the long bow behind Wei Ci and pursed his lips in the direction of the cabin.
"Guanshi Bai, with second-level strength, uses arrows like you, but her archery skills are praised even by the island owner.
"It can be seen that she has a good impression of you. If you can become her disciple, joining Sanye Island is just a matter of words. From now on, you will be one of our own.
"She lost her son in her early years, and it is rare for you to be pleasing to her. If you become her disciple, you will avoid many detours in your future practice."
After Zhang Tu finished speaking, he touched his bare chin, regardless of whether there was a beard or not, and continued:
"Of course, I am not telling you this to persuade you to become a disciple.
"There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people on the island asking her to take on a disciple. There is no shortage of you. What's more, with her character, it's not certain whether she will take on a disciple or not."
When Wei Ci heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Tu meant.
Bai Nianran is not weak in strength, but what is even stronger is her archery skills. The archery skills that can be praised by the Lord of the Island will definitely not be any worse.
Wei Ci cupped his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Zhang, for your guidance!"
In fact, what Zhang Tu said was right. He has not yet entered into spiritual practice. If he could become a disciple of Bai Nianran, joining Sanye Island would indeed be the best choice. At least the problem of spiritual practice would be solved.
Otherwise, it is said that he will not be repatriated along the same route. With his current strength, it is still unclear where he will go.
Moreover, Bai Nianran's cultivation level is not bad, and many people would find it difficult to achieve the second level in their lifetime. And judging from everyone's attitude, her status seems to be not low either.
It’s not a waste to become a disciple!
Let’s start practicing first.
How big of a deal would it be to have more than one female teacher?
Wei Ci made up his mind and quickly followed Zhang Tu's instructions to go outside Bai Nianran's cabin. After thinking about his words, he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Bai Nianran's gentle but indifferent voice came from inside the room.
Wei Ci pushed the door open and entered the cabin, which was not very spacious. He saw Bai Nianran sitting cross-legged on a soft bed with a calm expression. The long bow she had used earlier was laid out in front of her.
On the other side of her body, there was a simple but neat small table, with a steaming cup of tea on it.
Wei Ci touched his nose and took the lead in saying: "Boy Wei Ci, thank you Aunt Bai for saving my life. I want to learn archery from you as my teacher, so I beg Aunt Bai to accept it!"
After saying this, he bowed with both hands and bowed.
Bai Nianran looked at the young boy bent over in front of him silently, his eyes gradually becoming distant, as if he was trying to remember something.
After a while, she said, "I recovered pretty quickly."
Wei Ci felt nervous, wouldn't the golden book be discovered?
"I have never accepted a disciple. If I don't agree today, what will you do?" Bai Nianran asked again.
Wei Ci's bent posture did not change, and he blurted out the words he had planned for the future:
"Aunt Bai's extraordinary archery skills have greatly impressed me. I have been obsessed with archery since I was a child. Now that I am alone, I am determined to worship you as my teacher and start practicing.
"If I don't have the opportunity to be a master and disciple today, I can only leave with regret. If I have the opportunity to meet again someday, I can repay the life-saving grace that day."
After saying these sensational words, Wei Ci's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the figure sitting quietly on the couch with pious eyes.
You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.
Everyone likes to hear good words, and adding another emotional card, what he said just now used all his literary talent in his previous life.
Facts have proved that he succeeded.
Bai Nianran lost her son in her early years, and later she was unable to have another son and a half due to health reasons, and now she has no children.
She did have some fond feelings for Wei Ci, who also used bows and arrows.
When they were in the misty forest, the latter's unflinching courage and character when facing the Stoneclaw Demon Wolf alone made her somewhat impressed. This was completely different from some of the playboys on the island.
However, this is not enough for her to take the initiative to recruit disciples.
When she passed Wei Ci on the deck before, she checked his body and found out that his talent for cultivation was excellent.
Coupled with the fact that Wei Ci now took the initiative to become a disciple with a sincere attitude, she naturally agreed happily.
Bai Nianran picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, his voice soft and tactful:
"That day in the cloud forest, I saw that although you were young, you had perseverance and that you were as good at using a bow and arrow as I was, so I rescued you on the boat. If my son were still alive, he would be the same age as you."
Thinking of her deceased son, her eyes dimmed for a moment.
After a pause, she said seriously: "I once said that you and I are destined, and since you sincerely worship me today, I will accept you as my disciple!"
Wei Ci straightened up: "I've met the teacher!"
He didn't expect Bai Nianran to accept him as his disciple so easily.
However, this only benefits him and does no harm.
Bai Nianran is in his thirties or forties. His face is gentle and virtuous, and his eyebrows are neither evil nor charming. It is not difficult to tell that he was quite good-looking when he was young and she was also a beauty. Moreover, this beautiful master is very good at archery and his cultivation level is not low.
!
Even if archery is not what Wei Ci really wants, if he can learn the essence and use it as a weapon, that would be good. In Wei Ci's heart, he is a thief.
In this world, the process of becoming a disciple is very simple. You only need to perform a simple apprenticeship ceremony. There is no need to bow three times and nine times, and there is no need to give a disciple a name. As for the apprenticeship ceremony, there are no fixed requirements.
"It's Master!" Bai Nianran corrected.
"Master!"
Wei Ci followed the good advice and immediately changed his tune.
He stepped forward to get the tea cup, made another cup of tea for Bai Nianran, and served it with both hands.
Bai Nianran was in a good mood and didn't care about his "borrowing tea and offering tea". He raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the soft flat, with a faint smile on his face: "Sit down, now that you have entered my door, I have something to do with you first."
Talk about it."
Wei Ci pricked up his ears.
Bai Nianran said:
"Sanye Island is two hundred miles away to the east of Xingyuan Island. It is an affiliated island of Xingyuan Island. The island has its own power. Due to its remote location and the cover of the mysterious formation, it is almost isolated from the world...
…”
Listening to this description, Wei Ci roughly imagined the appearance of a small island like an overseas fairy mountain in his mind.
Bai Nianran looked at Wei Ci and saw that he was listening carefully, so he continued:
"However, every once in a while, the island will send people out to sea to purchase supplies that are scarce on the island. It can be as short as three months or as long as half a year. So it does not mean that the island is closed to itself. This is the case for our trip."
"..."
When Wei Ci came out of Bai Nianran's cabin, it was almost dusk.
Bai Nianran arranged a separate cabin for him. He could finally have a good rest tonight and no longer had to lie on the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.
In the cabin, Wei Ci carefully recalled what Bai Nianran said to him.
