The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 404 How to use secret techniques

"Apprentice?"

After hearing Qi Yuan's words, Liu Ling did not reply immediately.

Although he was a bit smart, he had already guessed that the Taoist in front of him was a practitioner.

It's just that after apprenticeship, he had to leave with the other party. For a young man like him, this kind of thing was a bit too sudden.

After all, he is just an immature child. In the past, he never thought about leaving home to go with others.

The villagers nearby also heard Qi Yuan's words, and immediately started talking about it.

They were also a little surprised that this good-looking Taoist wanted to take Liu Ling as his apprentice.

However, for the gourd spirit wine in Qi Yuan's hands, they were very greedy.

If one learns how to brew this kind of spiritual wine, wouldn't one be about to get rich.

From the aroma of the wine just now, they can tell that if this wine is brewed, it will definitely become the best wine on the market. Such a good wine will not worry about selling for a high price.

So before Liu Ling responded, the group couldn't bear it any longer. A young man even walked out and asked, "Master Daoist, I would like to worship you as my teacher. Can you accept me as a disciple?"

"And me, and me..."

Seeing someone in the early stage, several young people came out of the crowd, looking at Qi Yuan expectantly, obviously hoping to learn how to brew the spiritual wine in Qi Yuan's hands.

They thought that as long as they learned this method of brewing wine, it would be difficult not to make a fortune in the future, but they didn't think about where they could get the spiritual materials for brewing this kind of spirit wine.

Although some of the other villagers wanted to step forward, they were not too young, and they were too embarrassed to compete with a few young people. Some of them simply ran back and planned to bring their children to try.

On the side, Liu Ling's mother was also a little dumbfounded.

At the beginning, although she was surprised by the alluring aroma of the spirit wine in Qi Yuan's hand, when she heard Qi Yuan said that he was going to take her son away, she immediately became a little unhappy.

Although this son often made her angry, it was her child after all, so she would not be willing to be abducted like this.

In the end, before she had an attack, she saw other people in the village scrambling to become a teacher, which immediately made her a little panicked.

If there hadn't been these people coaxing, Liu's mother would never have thought of asking her son to worship this Taoist as a teacher, but being coaxed by everyone like this, she immediately felt as if she had suffered a great loss for not being a teacher.

After all, she is just an ordinary woman, and she doesn't have much knowledge. She just thinks that since everyone is scrambling to become a teacher, it is obvious that there will be great benefits after becoming a teacher.

So she hurried forward, squeezed away those young people, and came to her son and slapped him on the head: "Stinky boy, the Taoist priest thinks highly of you, so he accepts you as an apprentice. Why don't you hurry up and become a teacher?" !"

"Ouch..."

Liu Ling cried out in pain, holding her head and looking at her mother helplessly.

After all, he is young, loves his family in his heart, and is still hesitating whether to become a teacher, but he never thought that his mother would send him out so simply.

Isn't this like Niangqin's usual style?

"This... sister-in-law."

Qi Yuan felt a little awkward, for a moment he really didn't know how to address this woman.

In terms of looks, Mother Liu looks older than him, but in terms of age, I am several times older than Mother Liu.

So after the sister-in-law yelled, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Yang Chan on the side, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

It's rare to see a senior brother in such an embarrassing time!

Qi Yuan coughed lightly, suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and smiled at Mother Liu: "There is no need to beat this child. As for whether to worship me as a teacher, it still depends on his own wishes, there is no need to force it."

He has already given the opportunity, as for whether this young man can seize it, it depends on his own choice.

If you don't want to leave your family in your heart, then Qi Yuan will not force it.

Otherwise, even if I bring it back to the mountains, I am afraid that my mind will no longer be above cultivation. If this is the case, it will be difficult to achieve anything on the road.

Then he glanced at the other young people who wanted to be apprentices, and said: "Everyone has nothing to do with poverty, so don't mention the matter of apprenticeship."

"Why?"

When these young people heard this, they immediately became a little anxious: "Master Daoist, we are also very sincere in waiting."

"Yes, yes, Taoist priest, you see that Liu Ling hasn't agreed to worship you as a teacher yet, we came here on our own initiative, why don't you accept us?"

"Ha ha."

Qi Yuan shook his head and laughed: "Poverty Dao has no shortage of apprentices, the reason why he wants to accept Liu Ling as an apprentice is just because of some predestined relationship with him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to accept me as a teacher.

You are old and have too many distracting thoughts in your mind, so you are not suitable for practicing with me, so let's go. "

When everyone heard the words, although they were unwilling, they had already said that they would not be accepted as disciples, and there was nothing they could do.

Seeing this, Liu's mother on the side was immediately happy.

There were so many people who wanted to be apprentices, but the Taoist priest refused them all. He only fell in love with her son. Isn't this clearly saying that her son is excellent?
Now she has also figured it out, this Taoist priest should also have some skills, let alone the spirit wine in the gourd in his hand, it is definitely the best wine.

If the son worships this Taoist priest as his teacher, even if he can't learn other skills, as long as he can learn the other party's wine making method, it will be a lifelong skill.

Thinking of this, Liu's mother quickly said: "Master, this is not a place to talk, why don't you come to my house and sit down, let me discuss with my family about the matter of apprenticeship, what do you think?"

"Alright."

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement, and together with Yang Chan, followed Liu Ling's mother and son to their home.

Mother Liu graciously invited them to sit down, and picked some green peaches from the peach tree in the backyard to entertain the guests.

At this time, the family had already heard the news, and they walked out of the brewery in the backyard. After carefully understanding what happened, Liu Ling's father thought that his son should also be sent to apprentice.

Liu Ling is not the only child in his family, but there are two other sons. He is not afraid that when they get old, no one will inherit the family business to support them until the end of their lives. Therefore, under the decision of his parents, Liu Ling had no choice but to agree.

In fact, speaking of it, he was also willing to be a teacher in his heart.

After all, after apprenticeship, not only can you drink more delicious spiritual wine, but you can also learn the skills of brewing such fine wine, so why not do it.

The reason why he didn't agree directly before was because the young man's nostalgia for home made him a little reluctant to leave.

Now that his parents and family all believed that he should learn from a teacher, he no longer hesitated, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Qi Yuan smiled and waited until Liu Ling got up, and said to Liu Ling's parents: "I am the head of the Emei Sword Sect in the middle of Shu, and my Taoist name is Baimei. Will teach well.

In addition, although my method of brewing spirit wine cannot be kept among the people, it can also teach you a distillation method, which can improve the purity of the wine and make the wine you brew even more outstanding. "

When Liu Ling's parents heard this, they were overjoyed. They didn't expect such benefits.

Originally, the peach blossom wine brewed by their family was well-known in the nearby ten miles and eight towns. Even the government would buy a few cylinders every year, which could be regarded as a fine wine.

It's just that the peach blossom wine they brewed is still a little cloudy, which is not as good as those top-notch wines.

Now that his son has just been apprenticed to a teacher, the Taoist priest with white eyebrows has given him a method to purify wine, which is a skill that can be passed on to future generations for any wine maker.

With such skills, there is no need to worry that the family of the younger generation will lose.

Amidst the gratitude from the whole Liu family, Qi Yuan explained the distillation method in detail, and after letting Liu Ling bid farewell to his family, he took Liu Ling away and returned to Emei.

Now that another apprentice has been accepted, Qi Yuan can't continue to travel with his junior sister. Otherwise, if there is a child by his side, even if the two of them have any intimate actions and words, it will not be easy to show it, so they return directly to the mountain gate. .

After returning to the mountain, Qi Yuan did not directly bring Liu Ling into the inner sect, but let the young man hone in the outer sect for three years according to the usual practice.

If there are no mistakes, after three years, he will teach him more advanced cultivation methods, as well as the brewing methods of various spiritual wines that he has researched.

As for how to deal with Liu Ling's alcohol addiction when he was in the outer door, that's not Qi Yuan's problem.

In Qi Yuan's view, it's okay for this young man to like alcohol, but it's not a good habit to start drinking at a young age.

Even though the drinking alcohol among the people is not high nowadays, Liu Ling's body has not yet matured, and he has been drinking a lot since he was a child, which has already caused a certain level of damage to his body. Adjusted the body.

Of course, if he can't persist, Qi Yuan doesn't mind sending someone to send him down the mountain to go home.

However, at present, it seems that this young man still has a lot of tenacity.

Although he was used to drinking wine as water in the past, and he could not enjoy himself without wine every day, but when he followed Qi Yuanfei all the way back to Emei, he already knew that his master was a fairy-like figure.

After he came to Emei, he was overwhelmed by the various fairy houses on Mount Emei, and for the first time he became interested in things other than drinking and brewing.

At the same time, he also realized that only this blessed land of the immortal family could brew the spiritual wine that his master gave him before.

That kind of wine is obviously not brewed by mortal things, even if it is spread among the people, no one can brew it.

His heart was filled with joy and longing.

I look forward to brewing that kind of clear and refreshing spirit wine after I have learned the skills.

The few disciples who were in charge of the outer sect didn't care much about the master suddenly bringing a boy back. After all, those brothers who traveled down the mountain, sometimes if they found a child with outstanding talents, they would bring him back to the mountain gate to practice.

In recent years, the number of disciples added by the outer sect has reached about fifty or sixty each year, and the number is increasing year by year.

A long time ago, Qi Yuan selected a few disciples who were suitable for managing the outer sect, and took turns guarding the outer sect. In addition to teaching some basic cultivation methods, he also supervised the outer sect disciples to do various chores and hone their bodies and willpower. , so the outer door management is actually quite easy.

After making arrangements for Liu Ling, Qi Yuan returned directly to Luofu Cave.

Headed by Qi Yi, several disciples in charge of managing the mountain gate came to visit and told about the recent situation of the mountain gate.

In fact, there is no big problem. Under the strict discipline, few of the thousands of Emei disciples dare to break the rules of the sect. The entire sect is still in the stage of rapid development.

Qi Yi highly respects the commandments established by his master.

If it wasn't for the master's foresight to set up various rules and regulations early on, these thousands of disciples who practice killing and cutting swordsmanship would definitely be messed up.

However, there are strict sect rules and regulations, which made these disciples get used to these rules when they were young. Even when they were traveling abroad, they basically would not provoke right and wrong at will.

Unlike the former members of the Jiejiao, who have no restrictions outside, it is inevitable that many people will rely on the strong momentum of the teacher to act arrogantly and domineeringly, damaging the reputation of the Jiejiao.

After Qi Yuan simply listened to the reports of Qi Yi and others, he stopped paying attention to these matters.

Now he has consciously handed over all the things in the mountain gate to Qi Yi.

Not only to cultivate Qi Yi's ability to do things, but also to let the disciples in the sect get used to accepting Qi Yi's command.

After Qi Yi has fully grown up, he can trust Qi Yi with everything, and then take his junior sister to travel around the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the Three Realms, wouldn't it be beautiful.

But now that he has returned to the mountain gate, the secret technique he obtained from the Dragon King of the East China Sea has also been put on the agenda.

Qi Yuan felt that it was time to study the specific usage of this secret technique with his junior sister.
