One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 6 Master
On the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, most northern towns will spontaneously organize a market.

The widest street in the town will be occupied by all kinds of vendors, no matter how wide the street is, it will turn it into a one-way street for you.

At this time, bicycles and tricycles are faster than cars with four wheels.

The market has everything, cheap clothes, shiny new farm tools from the factory, rice flour, seed fertilizer

Others deliberately waited for a day, slaughtered the big fat pigs raised at home, and brought fresh pork to sell.

If you come early, you might be able to grab a piece of pig blood and go home to cook with fat intestines.

Tea, rice, oil and salt used at home, sickles, ploughs, shovels, rakes, and rakes used in the fields are all available at the market. As long as the nearby villagers walk from one end of the market to the other, they will basically buy what they need in the home. .

This market is basically open for a day, and the villagers and traders who come to the market will inevitably have to eat.

People who bought buns and spread pancakes also came here. As long as you look at the shop, a white steam suddenly emerges, it must be the buns from the baozi shop.

If it's winter, there are still people who push candied gourd carts. They don't worry about selling candied gourds. There are always soft-hearted parents who can't bear their children's grinding and come to a bunch.

There are also noodle stalls in this market. The boss came early in the morning and set up two large pots and a few tables.

One pot is simmering the stock, and the other is under the pot,
A spoonful of soup, a handful of noodles, sprinkled with a handful of green onions, coriander, two pieces of meat if possible, and a bowl of hot noodle soup.

Most of the people who come to eat noodles are villagers who come to buy things. The stall owner has the time to eat noodles, just buy a few buns and take a bite.

However, the owner of this stall today is a little confused.

There were three weirdos at his booth, two old men, and a young man.

The two old men seemed to know each other, but the atmosphere between the two was very strange, and it was unspeakably awkward.

And the young man, like a teenage kid, also likes to play with chopsticks.

The noodle stall owner hurriedly prepared the noodles, thinking about letting the three people finish eating, and left quickly.

If an old man of such age had an accident at his booth, he would not be able to pay for it.

Wu Dechang handed the noodles to Xiu Wu:

"Jianguo, the person opposite you is Zhang Huaiyi, one of the 36 thieves in Jiashen, the younger brother of Zhang Zhiwei, the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu."

Zhang surname?Isn't that a candidate for a Celestial Master?
Shugo thought to himself,
He doesn't know about the 36 thieves of Jiashen, but Zhang Zhiwei's name in Longhushan is like thunder,
The uncles and uncles of the Shangqing were both respectful and annoyed towards him.

The way to respect him is amazing, and he is annoyed that he was ruthless when he was young.

The world is supreme, but it is not for nothing.

And this little old man in front of him, when he was young, could actually compete with Zhang Zhiwei for the position of Heavenly Master, how could he be a simple person.

"Did you bring your apprentice here to tout me?"

Zhang Huaiyi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly.

"Of course not, Senior Brother Huaiyi, I want to ask you to save my apprentice."

Wu Dechang told Zhang Huaiyi about Xiuwu's problems, and described Xiuwu's medical treatment process in the past few years.

"The Lu family? That old boy Lu Ci is not a merciful person. How could you be able to persuade him?"

"Oh, Mr. Lu really doesn't like to help others, but he also has obsessions, and he values ​​one word Lu in his life!"

Wu Dechang squeezed his beard and said, "I told him, as long as he can save Xiuwu, and the Shangqing will not take back Xiuwu's work, I can still make the decision, let Xiuwu join the family, and let him be named Lu!"

"How could Patriarch Lu Ci not try his best? It's a pity that the Lu family failed to solve Jianguo's problems. I can only do this as a last resort. Come to Senior Brother Huaiyi for help."

good guy!It turned out that I was almost sold by my master, so I said that the fierce old man was so happy every time he saw me, and he kept asking me if I liked Sister Lu Huan.

Xiu Wu slapped his face aside, thinking about it.

Wu Dechang continued: "I have already told Junior Brother Yang Ming that after going down the mountain this time, Junior Brother Yang Ming will notify Longhu Mountain to cancel Jianguo's Taoist certificate and expel Jianguo from the Shangqing School."

Xiu Wu couldn't take it anymore: "Master, Master? I was fired, when did it happen?"

How can I eat noodles, I'm not from the Shangqing anymore?

"Jianguo, for the sake of our grandfather and the two of us, the senior brothers and sisters of Shangqing have taken a lot of care, so don't cause them any more trouble."

Wu Dechang patted Xiuwu on the shoulder:

"Did you know that back then, your uncle Zheng Zibu, and the uncle Zhang Huaiyi in front of you, after realizing the Eight Magical Skills, never dared to return to their own sect, for fear of bringing disaster to the sect."

Wu Dechang's words touched Zhang Huaiyi's heart.

For the sake of the previous generation of Tianshi and Longhu Mountain, he never went back to take a look in his entire life, and he still implicated Senior Brother Tian Jinzhong.

Zhang Huaiyi said, "Wu Dechang, do you think I will save him?"

When he was in Longhu Mountain, the old celestial master said that he had a deep mind and never communicated with anyone.

Except for a rootless born who exchanged his sincerity for his sincerity, no one really approached his heart.

How can such a person save a stranger who just met on the roadside.

"Senior brother, I'm running out of time, this is just my last effort, whether it succeeds or not, the fate of this child is in your hands."

I bet you, the former high-gong master of Longhu Mountain, that Zhang Jingqing, the previous generation of celestial masters, had misunderstood the person and made a ruthless person one of the candidates for the celestial master.

I'm sorry, brother, I kidnapped you, but I have no other way. If it doesn't work, this is also Xiu Wu's destiny.

"Master, let's go back, I'll accompany you."

Xiu Wu looked at his master, and for the first time he knew that his master's lifespan was approaching.

He was sent to his master at the age of five. It can be said that his relationship with his master is even deeper than that of his parents. The master is like his grandfather.

After hearing Wu Dechang himself say that his time was running out, his first reaction was to take his master back to Shangqing and accompany him through the last part of the road.

"Jianguo, when your master 'feathered', I was next to him. He felt guilty and died because he failed to save Senior Brother Zheng Zibu. I can't forget it to this day. Do you think the same is true for master? ?"

"Oh, old, old, and soft-hearted."

It seems that he remembered Zhang Jingqing, the master who wanted to save his life back then, but Zhang Huaiyi finally let go.

Hearing this sentence, Wu Dechang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Xiu Wu:

"Xiu Wu, in the future, you will treat Senior Brother Zhang Huaiyi as you would treat me, did you hear me!"

"·····Yes,"

"You have to remember why I named you Shugo."

"My emotions are unstable, and it is difficult to see through my true nature. It is easy for me to cut off my relationship and lose my righteousness, or I have mixed feelings, so I need to cultivate the word 'I', but cultivation I does not sound good, so it is called Xiuwu."

There was a hint of crying in Xiu Wu's words. After all, he was still a teenage child. When an adult heard that his loved one was going to die soon, he still couldn't help himself, let alone a child.

"Okay, good boy, senior brother, I'll leave everything to you, I'm going back to the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dechang turned his head and left here.
Only Xiuwu, who was holding back tears, and Zhang Huaiyi, who remained silent.

Wu Dechang walked in the direction of Shangqing, and walked silently and quickly for more than ten miles. He stopped when he walked out of the market.

Looking up at the sky, looking at the carefree, carefree clouds floating in the sky, it seems that I remembered what Shugo would look like in the future.

Wu Dechang smiled and fell to the ground without worry.

"Oh! Look, what's wrong with this old man."

"It's not a heart attack, is it?"

"Hurry up, call the health center and call the doctor!"

"Father, are you alright?"

Until his death, Wu Dechang didn't say it.
The reason why his longevity is near is because he wants to find someone who can save me.

Wu Dechang, not to mention the past,

The word master, you can afford it.
