Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 20 Apprenticeship to Hu Yizhi

The mysterious bead disappeared suddenly, which made Liu Xiaolu very depressed for a few days, after all, in her opinion, it was a precious lump that could be exchanged for at least five or six taels of silver.

"Hey." Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but sighed again, sitting on the ridge with his legs crossed and blank in a daze.

"Sister Lu?" Wang Xiaobao called softly from the side, seeing that Liu Xiaolu was still blank and didn't respond at all, so he obediently picked up the small wooden bucket and went down the mountain to fetch water.

Liu Xiaolu still couldn't figure it out, a good bead was put in a small wooden box, how could it disappear?I have searched inside and outside the house no less than five times, but I can't even find the shadow of the bead. The bead seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of rustling footsteps, and a pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.They were a pair of beautiful and delicate boots. The uppers were made of dark Shu brocade with moiré patterns. There was a circle of silver thread embedded on the upper of the boots, and a snow-white jade stone was embedded on the silver thread.

Looking up, what catches the eye is a plain white gown, with a jade belt inlaid with silver borders around the slender waist, and a piece of high-quality suet white jade pendant on the side of the waist.The jade pendant is engraved with cumbersome patterns, and on the front of the jade pendant is engraved a character Hu.

Seeing this word, Liu Xiaolu was startled, rubbed his eyes hastily, and looked up again, only to see a long-haired man wearing a jade crown and slender eyebrows looking at him with a smile.

"Peak Master Huhu?!" Liu Xiaolu was taken aback, and quickly got up to salute, "Meet the Peak Master!"

Hu Yizhi recently felt that the old injury in his body was faintly flared up, and he wanted to come to the medicine garden to get some herbs to stabilize the injury.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the medicine garden, he saw an eight or nine-year-old female disciple sitting in a daze in the medicine field, with her mouth pouted, her expression was quite cute and cute, and she couldn't help paying attention.

"Are you the new disciple in charge of the medicine garden?" Hu Yizhi's voice was gentle, and he was completely different from the way he confronted the other two peak masters at the rotation meeting that day.

Liu Xiaolu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Returning to Peak Master, another disciple and I are in charge of taking care of the medicine garden now."

Hu Yizhi nodded slightly, and wanted to put on a show to encourage a few words, but as if he suddenly discovered something, he let out a light snort, "Girl, just give me your hand."

"Yes, Peak Master." Although Liu Xiaolu was confused, he still stretched out his hand obediently.

Hu Yizhi put two fingers on Liu Xiaolu's wrist for a while, then retracted them.Liu Xiaolu only felt a gust of cool air circulate in his body quickly and then disappeared.

"Weird." Hu Yizhi narrowed his eyes and said something to himself, then looked at Liu Xiaolu and asked, "Girl, would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

"what?"

Liu Xiaolu still couldn't believe that he had changed from an ordinary inner disciple to the peak master's direct disciple so suddenly.Maybe this is what Liu Xiucai said, how can you know that it is not a blessing?Although he lost a precious orb worth five taels of silver, he got the status of a direct disciple in exchange.Thinking of the five taels of silver a month passed on to his disciples, Xiaolu's eyes lit up, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was a sure-fire deal.

Liu Xiaolu became a direct disciple, so she didn't have to take care of chores, but she couldn't bear to leave all the work to Wang Xiaobao, so she still went to help in the medicine garden from time to time.

The days fly by.In a blink of an eye, the new disciples have already started for almost half a year, and they have already learned the basics of the eight extraordinary meridians and the acupuncture points of the whole body, and began to practice some basic kung fu.

Every morning, Liu Xiaolu could hear the chant from the disciples of the inner sect as they ran around the Bright Moon Peak while still in bed.After dinner, you can still see rows of Tsing Yi disciples sweating profusely on the Martial Arts Field to practice martial arts.At this time, Liu Xiaolu secretly rejoiced that he stepped on dog shit and was lucky to become Master Hu's direct disciple, otherwise he would be exhausted every day like other ordinary inner disciples, and there would only be one or two halves every month. moon silver.

Sometimes when he went to help in the medicine garden, seeing Wang Xiaobao's distressed appearance, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but think, it would be great if Peak Master Hu could also accept Wang Xiaobao as his personal disciple.But she also knew in her heart that it was not up to her to decide who Peak Master Hu wanted to take as his apprentice, so she could only silently increase the number of times she went to the medicine garden to help, and tried to share some chores for Wang Xiaobao as much as possible.

During this period, Peak Lord Hu personally taught Liu Xiaolu some medicinal and medical skills, and also taught her a heart method called Baoyue Jue, and told her not to spread it to outsiders, otherwise she would be expelled from the teacher.Peak Master Hu seemed to place a lot of emphasis on this exercise, and even the two senior brothers Fei Yun and Luo Lin were not allowed to sit in on it when it was being taught.

Liu Xiaolu was slack in nature, and it took him two months to reach the threshold of the first layer of the Moon Hugging Jue under the dedicated teaching of Master Hu. Half a month ago, I started to attack the second layer of the nourishing formula.

I thought that with such a slow progress, even if Master Hu was not angry and punished himself, he would at least be reprimanded.Unexpectedly, Master Hu was not only not angry when he learned that Liu Xiaolu had finally stepped into the first level of Baoyue Jue, he was actually quite happy. In a word, he even went back to the house and dug out a few bottles of precious pills for Liu Xiaolu.

The weather is getting colder every day, winter clothes are distributed in the sect, and disciples go out less than before.Liu Xiaolu was wrapped in a thick padded jacket and sat by the door, a little lost in thought, with letters from his family in his hands.Father entrusted Liu Xiucai to write the letter for him. There were only a few words on the letter paper. It was just to say that he was safe, and he mentioned that his elder brother's marriage was scheduled to be in the spring of the next year. He also told Liu Xiaolu to perform well in the sect. Nothing else.

Liu Xiaolu sniffed, her eyes were slightly red.The end of the year is approaching, and at this time in previous years, my eldest brother has already taken his annual leave.Liu Xiaolu would always stretch his neck at the entrance of the village several days in advance, waiting for his elder brother to appear.Because every year, Liu Daxiong would buy New Year gifts for his younger sisters first, and then hand over the wages he had saved for a year to A Niang for safekeeping.Even the usually taciturn father had a smile on his face, and it was rare for the family to sit around and have a few reunion dinners happily.

But this year Liu Xiaolu can only stay on the mountain alone, there is no sense of the New Year in the sect, the brothers and uncles will neither hang lanterns and paste couplets, nor prepare delicious candied fruit snacks. As deserted as ever.

It is said that children from poor families are wise early. Although Liu Xiaolu is homesick, she also knows that because she joined the Kongwu Sect, she is now a direct disciple, and the monthly silver of five taels is almost intact Moved to send home.And it is precisely because of the extra few taels of money that the family receives every month that the life can gradually get better. Otherwise, with the leaky earthen house at home, the eldest brother would not be able to settle the marriage so easily.

After sitting for a long time, his body felt a little cold, Liu Xiaolu wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and found that the sky had turned dark.

"Ah!" Liu Xiaolu yelled, and quickly got up and ran out of the house.
