Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 531. 530.
Look left, no one.

Look right, there is no one.

Li Zhen lowered her head subconsciously, her gaze fell on the dried meat in her hand.

The Master said: "I have learned more than that by myself, and I am not without instruction."

The so-called "shuxiu" refers to Confucius accepting disciples. As long as the students send dried meat, he will not fail to teach.

And now the dried meat is delivered to him... What does it mean?

Li Zhen considered himself a Taoist priest, so he didn't think about anything else at all.

Taoist priests who are serious about the Eight Classics need to play table amulets, disciples take oaths, master admonitions, etc., and they will definitely not be so hasty.

Sending dried meat to accept disciples is a rule left by the Confucian sage Confucius.

Shouldn't you beg yourself?

So here comes the question... If you don't worship yourself, why give yourself this dried meat?

He was puzzled.

But let alone him, even Cheng Xuanying was a little confused, staring blankly at the uncle...

Uncle Master won't let me... worship him, right?

At such a young age, his uncle called him senior, so could it be that his seniority is higher than that of his uncle? ... Isn't that... the same generation as the master?

If I worship him, how can I call you Shishu your Shishu?

Both the elder and the younger were dumbfounded.

But Yuan Tiangang gently pushed the Taoist boy:
"Not yet."

"...?"

Under Li Zhen's suspicious eyes, although Daotong was bewildered, he didn't disobey what his uncle said just now. After being pushed, he didn't care so much, and was about to kneel when he bent his knees.

But when I knelt down halfway, I couldn't kneel down anymore.

A ball of golden light has supported him.

"No, you wait."

Li Zhen frowned:
"Dare to ask Daoist Tiangang, could it be that...you have found the wrong person?"

"Back to senior."

Yuan Tiangang is quite humble, even though he is older than Li Zhen, his figure is still very humble:

"Not at all. The ones Pindao came to look for this time are seniors and that Master Xuanzang."

"..."

Seeing Li Zhen's frown getting tighter and tighter, Yuan Tiangang helped Daotong up and said:

"Senior, I wonder if I can go inside and talk about it in detail?"

"..."

Li Zhen really couldn't guess what kind of medicine this gourd was selling.

But looking at his peaceful gaze, and then at the Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth, finally, he nodded:

"it is good."

……

In the courtyard, after pouring a cup for each of the two guests with the half pot of tea just made, Li Zhen pointed to the dried meat and green fruit on the table:
"Tiangang Daoist, Ming people don't speak dark words, please explain why you are here."

Although he knew that this was Yuan Tiangang, Li Zhen still felt a little bit on guard against the scene he didn't know how to sing just now.

Something doesn't always feel right.

And Yuan Tiangang did not hide it:

"Back to the predecessors, the poor Taoist came from Longmen Mountain."

"!"

Following Li Zhen's surprised eyes, he nodded:

"It was ordered by the teacher to come to communicate with Cui about the dragon and fire lineage."

"...Dare to ask the master's inheritance is..."

"Family teacher Daoxuan Master."

"..."

Good guy.

The apprentice of the national teacher?
Another disciple of the national teacher?

? ? ? ?
In Li Zhen's weird and shocked eyes, Yuan Tiangang didn't talk much about this matter, but pointed to the Daoist standing beside him:
"And for this trip, Pindao only brought me, my nephew, here. The reason is that I want my nephew to worship the Taoist priest and the mage."

"You wait a minute..."

Seeing that his words became more and more absurd, Li Zhen couldn't help interrupting him.

A pair of eyes looked at this middle-aged Taoist as if he was looking at a neuropathy:
"Worship me?"

"Yes."

"And Xuanzang?"

"Exactly."

"Adore the two as teachers?"

"Yes."

"One monk and one Taoist priest????"

"Exactly."

"Brother, are you crazy?"

He opened his mouth subconsciously, not knowing what to say.

Just listen to Yuan Tiangang explain:

"Senior, please explain the reason behind it in detail."

"Uh……"

"My nephew is an orphan. Three years ago, he was rescued from a village by one of my younger brothers and brought up the mountain. When I first met him, I thought he was destined for me, so I brought him back to the place where I practiced. But in this child's fate, there is only the relationship between master and student, but not the reality of master and student. Therefore, I have called him uncle for so many years. And today's visit is not to worship the master, but the teacher. Bye The predecessors and Master Xuanzang were teachers, and they practiced the truth under the noble family, and forged themselves for their own use."

"..."

Li Zhen subconsciously looked at the Taoist boy named Xuanying.

The child's eyes were clear, and he could vaguely see a restrained golden light in his pupils.

Obviously, he is already a cultivator.

So... here comes the question.

What will you do?

And light and dust?Can't teach, if you teach the second master, you have to cut yourself alive.

Golden Light Curse?Li Zhen didn't believe that the people in Longmen Mountain wouldn't.

Guardian? ...He couldn't even figure out how this protector came from.

What can he teach?

Following his doubts, he looked at Yuan Tiangang wonderingly:
"What do the Daoist think I can teach him? There are only a few kinds of spells that the poor Taoist knows, all of which are ordinary Taoism of low rank in the Taoist sect. When it comes to the study of the Taoist scriptures, the poor Taoist is really just a mediocrity. Even if the little Nayi disciple is not a master but a teacher, how can He De dare to speak up?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang shook his head:
"If you want to practice Taoism and Taoism, Longmen Mountain is naturally the best place to go. But what the younger generation wants Xuanying to learn is not these. Otherwise, you can just pass on the scriptures and teach the Dharma directly, so why present it to seniors with Confucianism?"

Confucianism...?
Li Zhen's eyes fell on the dried meat on the table again.

Is there anything about me that I can inherit as a Confucian disciple?
The answer is yes.

Why does the storyteller dare to call himself Mr.

That's it.

Although Mr. Storyteller does not dare to elevate people, he is at least persuading people to be good. This action is in line with Confucianism, so he can call himself a Mr.

What do you mean?
Yuan Tiangang asked... I taught him storytelling?

Thinking of this, there was a wave of waves in his heart.

If it was anything else, he would definitely shake his head and refuse.

One is to weigh and clear one's weight.

Accepting apprentices, regardless of whether it is a teacher or a master, is the job of being a teacher, so don't dare to mess around.

Mistaking others is the biggest mistake.

Therefore, he thought that virtue was unworthy and dared not agree.

But if it's storytelling...

To be honest, he was really moved.

It's not that I want to be a so-called "storyteller patriarch", but simply... a sense of mission to preach for the patriarch and have successors.

Because, that's what his master taught him back then.

And after coming to Tai Sui, he also said in the book and made money, but he didn't meet anyone who wanted to worship him as a teacher.

Although storytellers accept apprentices, they must be cautious, and there is an observation and assessment period to check their xinxing quality.And he was hurt by his apprentice once in the early years, he understands the importance of this assessment period, so he is especially cautious...

But it doesn't mean he doesn't want to accept disciples.

That's why Liu Ding and him suddenly said they wanted to learn from him when they were in Luoyang. After hearing that the other party didn't want to learn storytelling, but to learn the way of cultivation, he was disappointed.

In his bones, he still feels that he is a person who has lost his life in the rivers and lakes.

Carry the craftsmanship on your back, preach for the teacher, and pass on to future generations.

This is the responsibility of every storyteller.

Could it be... Yuan Tiangang wanted to send him an apprentice?
Apprentice of Doctrine Book?

His attention slowly fell on Dao Tong who looked like seven or eight years old at most.

It doesn't matter whether he is a cultivator or what, at this moment he wants to see if the child is articulate and clear...

Therefore, he was a little moved.

But besides the excitement, it was inevitable that a few more doubts popped up.

Logically speaking, the two should be inseparable, right?

Why did you suddenly find yourself?
What is Yuan Tiangang's picture?
The other party is a disciple of the national teacher. If you really like this child, even if you don't have a relationship between master and apprentice, it is not difficult to arrange for him to become a successful child, right?
Why do you want to bring it out to suffer with yourself?

The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and he couldn't help asking:

"What does the Taoist chief want this child to learn? Learn from me...telling people stories, right?"

"Yes, and neither."

Yuan Tiangang shook his head:
"It has nothing to do with what the seniors learn, or what the seniors teach. The same is true, what can be learned from Master Xuanzang is also Xuanying's own good fortune... As for why I say this, the younger generation can only say that the younger generation is proficient in physiognomy. During the deduction, I saw some things. These things are good and bad. Pindao is alone and does not give up foreign things, but he has half a relationship with this child as a teacher and apprentice, and he is concerned about him, and he is reluctant to let him go with the crowd Both the senior and the sorcerer are people of great wisdom, great enlightenment, and great purity. The optimal solution of Xuanying's number of lives, and the limit that the younger generation can calculate, lies with the two of them. This is one of them.

Second, let's not hide from the seniors, the juniors and seniors had met once when they were in Longmen Mountain.Although he didn't dare to use physiognomy at that time, but in the past few months, he could often get some omens in the dark, and it was all related to the senior.But these portents are confusing, inexplicable, and ineffable.It can only be said... If the senior has concerns, then the junior wants to exchange the senior for protecting Xuanying's fate with the words of the fate of a person who is closely related to the senior. "

"Uh……"

After hearing this, Li Zhen's first reaction was shock.

But the second reaction was to shake his head:
"Then it doesn't matter..."

Yuan Tiangang was taken aback... There was some surprise in his eyes.

But what Li Zhen thought was very simple.

Apprenticeship is not a transaction.

Although he didn't know what Yuan Tiangang was talking about, he didn't want to let this matter be mixed with conflicts of interest.

Besides, what people said is quite clear.

In history, Yuan Tiangang was famous for his divination ability. Although I don't know what he calculated, but if the child's fate is ill-fated, he can only change it by being by his side...then he is willing.

The premise is that the child is in line with the good qualities that a storyteller who persuades people to be kind should possess in both his heart and character.

A gentleman on the road ahead can't fight.

But you have to cultivate yourself.

He admitted that he was moved.

His eyes fell on the boy again.

Maybe it's cute?
Or maybe it's the child's characteristic of being delighted by the Master?

Or those moving eyes...

Not to mention, after Yuan Tiangang explained the reason, Li Zhen really liked the child more and more in his heart.

After thinking about it, he also asked in a gentle tone:

"Can you endorse a book?"

"..."

Daotong first glanced at the uncle who showed encouragement, and then nodded:

"Students... know how to read, write, and read. On weekdays, the uncle will let the students read and memorize silently. They are all "Tao Cang" scriptures, which are easy to learn. I dare not say that I understand them all...but I have memorized them all."

"Oh?"

Li Zhen's eyes lit up and asked:

"Then can you recite one for me?"

Hearing this, Daotong glanced at Yuan Tiangang again, and a childish and crisp voice sounded in the courtyard:
"One hexagram, Gan: Yuan Henryzhen. Ninth day: Don't use Qianlong, Ninety-two: See the dragon again..."

Long paragraphs of "Book of Changes" blurted out verbatim.

And Li Zhen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Eloquent, smart in thinking, and most importantly... being able to speak well is also mixed with a sense of humility.

this kid...

sure.
