Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 196
early morning
The divine splendor of Haotian sprinkled the earth, and the Fuchun River was filled with mist, and the manors on both sides of the river were faintly visible in the mist.A light boat sailed out from the shore and slowly drifted downstream along the river.

Cui Shi watched the light boat going away gradually disappear into the mist, and just turned to look at Old Master Cui and reported: "Father, the woman who went to the main hall last night, Shou Gongsha is still here, he can't be..."

Cui Shi didn't speak bluntly about the next words, but Mrs. Cui, who is old and mature, naturally heard the doubts in his words, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, there is another big mountain in the academy. Where should I, Cui Shi, go?"

Old Mrs. Cui seemed to be asking Cui Shi and he seemed to be asking himself too. Hearing this, Cui Shi couldn't help but froze, and asked a little unwillingly, "How long are we going to be dogs?"

"Before Master and him return to Haotian Shenhui, then we can only wait forever in a very respectful and docile manner, and even pretend to be mature."

Hearing this, the unwillingness in Cui Shi's eyes suddenly dimmed. Before, it was only necessary to stay until the master returned to Haotian, but now there is one more person. For a while, the father and son could not help but look at the rising water in silence.

On the Fuchun River, the light boat was going down the current. On the boat, Li Ming rolled his eyes at the lazy donkey, rubbed his chin and muttered: "This donkey doesn't seem to be familiar with it, or it can be stewed."

Hearing Li Ming's muttering all of a sudden, the donkey's body trembled, and his big eyes could not help showing a look of grievance, but the lazy expression was gone.

Seeing this, Li Ming smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter how you say it, you have betrayed me, so don't turn your back on you again in the future."

The donkey frantically nodded its head, and its big Kaziran eyes kept blinking.That funny look made Li Ming laugh out loud, as if he was laughing at a funny clown, but he didn't know if the clown was the donkey in front of him or the person on the bank.

Osawa
As the name suggests, it focuses on a big character, vast and boundless. It is the largest lake in the Haotian world, spanning between the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty. The whole lake is not known for several miles, and the scenery is very pleasant.

Since it is the border between the two countries, it is also a time of peace between the two countries. Large and small merchant ships on the lake are constantly shuttling, transporting goods to the two countries for trade.

Li Ming stood at the bow of the boat in Tsing Yi, with a paintbrush in his hand and tapped the paper, his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and the afterglow of the Haotian shone on him, like a young painter with a wild face.

The autumn sunset in the distance is reflected on the river, and lone geese fly among the clouds.

"Luoxia and Lonely fly together, and the autumn waters are the same color as the sky."

Seeing this situation, Li Ming couldn't help but took up his pen and wrote down this sentence in the preface to the Tengwang Pavilion on the Daze Autumn Water Map.

Immediately, the four scenes of sunset, solitary bird, autumn water and long sky in the painting reveal a breath of tranquility and far-reaching, and it seems that with the blessing of this exquisite sentence, the whole painting becomes more vivid.

"Good words! Good pictures! Good sentences!"

Three good words in a row showed the excitement of people. Li Ming put down the brush in his hand and turned his head to look at a boat approaching the lake. Compared with his light boat, this boat was very luxurious and huge. It seems that it will be overturned by the waves it splashes at any time.

But in fact, the small boat is like a reef standing in the lake, no matter how fast the waves are, it still remains motionless, not even shaking at all.

As the ship approached, a figure on the bow of the ship came into view, with silver hair moving with the wind, revealing a refined aura.

Li Ming glanced at the simple and convenient calligraphy banner on the big boat, and almost guessed the identity of the person in his heart.

Sure enough, the answer of the old man on the bow verified his conjecture.

"Old man Wang Shusheng, my little friend, would you like to go on board and tell a story."

Wang Shusheng stayed in Mochi Garden all year round. Although he had heard about the master's junior, he stopped paying attention to Li Ming after hearing a little about Li Ming's deeds, but he failed to recognize that the person in front of him was Li Ming.How could such vulgar people create such fantastic paintings and write such vigorous and majestic characters.

"Wang Shusheng? Interesting."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming did not refuse. He nodded slightly, feeling the power of thought enveloping the entire light boat. Li Ming lightly tapped his fingers imperceptibly, and a small "mountain" character on the body of the boat suddenly seemed to be erased. .

Immediately, the whole boat soared into the sky, and Wang Shusheng's eyes flashed doubts, but he looked at the boat stagnant in mid-air, and after thinking to no avail, he shook his head and overcame the power of his mind to land the boat smoothly on the bow.

Wang Shusheng's boat was very big, but it was more than enough to put down the small boat. Wang Shusheng looked at Li Ming who was a little panicked, and immediately dispelled his doubts, and said gently:

"Little friend, don't panic, this boat is very high and it's inconvenient to get on and off, this old man will save you from getting tired."

Hearing this, Li Ming's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Is the old man a practitioner?"

Wang Shusheng seemed to enjoy Li Ming's surprised expression, stroked his long silver beard and nodded with a smile, but he never noticed the playfulness in Li Ming's eyes.

After performing a full set of plays, Li Ming's eyes suddenly showed envy and longing, and then he seemed to look at Wang Shusheng with some hesitation.

Seeing that Li Ming, who was still acting like a little fan just now, suddenly hesitated to speak, Wang Shusheng said confidently: "Little friend, if you have something hard to say, you might as well just say it."

Hearing that Li Ming seemed to have made up his mind, he looked at Wang Shusheng with firm eyes.

"Old man, can you teach me how to practice? I also want to be a practitioner like you."

Hearing this, Wang Shusheng narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
This son's calligraphy and paintings are all excellent, but I don't know what his qualifications are. If his qualifications are excellent, it's okay to accept him as an apprentice. Maybe the old man can produce a talisman master.

After thinking about it, Wang Shusheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help looking at Li Ming with fiery eyes, but Li Ming's mouth twitched and his fist couldn't help clenching.
Why is this old man so creepy, I really want to reward him with two moral fists.

Seeing that Li Ming was about to explode, Wang Shusheng seemed to realize that he was too excited, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and waved his hands, "It's not impossible to teach you how to practice, but you need to test your aptitude."

"Aptitude? There was a wretched old Taoist in Chang'an who once said that the aptitude is extremely high." Li Ming muttered seemingly unintentionally.
Immediately, Wang Shusheng couldn't help being taken aback, Chang'an City is wretched and old-fashioned?Extremely qualified?It can't be that old thing, thinking of this, Wang Shusheng's eyes became more fiery, and asked excitedly: "What does the old man look like?"

Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but chuckled secretly, but on the surface he replied in a serious manner: "Well, he has triangular eyes, thin beard and hair, so he's very obscene anyway. If he wasn't so obscene, I would have agreed to be his apprentice a long time ago. .”

"It's really that old ghost! Come here and let the old man take a look!"
