Chapter 0006 The Old Taoist
() Mount Emei is a famous Buddhist holy place. On the Golden Summit of Emei’s main peak, there is not only the Emei sect, which dominates the martial arts, but also dozens of Buddhist temples, large and small, and their reputation spreads far and wide in China. There is also an endless stream of good men and women who come and go here to worship incense and Buddha.
Because the mountain is high and the road is far away, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain in one breath, so the Banshan Pavilion with a gentle slope and open terrain has become a resting place for most believers who climb the mountain to pilgrimage.
Where there are a lot of people, there is a market. Whenever the weather is fine, the vicinity of the Banshan Pavilion looks like a small market. Most of the villagers living at the foot of the mountain pick some home-grown melons to eat. Fruits and the like are sold here.
The only unusual thing is the old Taoist priest who gives people "divination and word testing". This guy seems to be a resident here. Set up a stall here and don't leave until after dark.
The appearance of the old Taoist is not very good, his sloppy Taoist robe is greasy and shiny, it seems that it has not been cleaned for at least three to five years, and there are more than a dozen patches on it, if this guy hadn't worn a Taoist hair in a bun and still guarded With such a divination stall, most people would mistake him for a beggar.
Therefore, even if the old Taoist only charged five cents per hexagram, which is already very cheap, few pilgrims would patronize him.But this old Taoist didn't take it seriously, and rarely greeted the pilgrims who came and went, a bit like Mr. Jiang was fishing.If Zheng Xiaobai hadn't witnessed this old guy cheating a child out of candy, he would really have regarded him as a wise man!
Zheng Xiaobai observed in the dark for a while, but he really didn't see what was so special about this old guy, and thinking back to the original book of Yi Tian Tu Long Ji, it seemed that such a character was never mentioned in the whole book, and he felt that this old Taoist was even a trick It doesn't even count, if you worship him as a teacher, you will be at a disadvantage!
However, the time limit for the task of apprenticeship is coming soon, and Zheng Xiaobai has no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward, pretending to ask: "Dare to ask the old Taoist priest, are you good at divination?"
The old Taoist looked up and saw a young man wearing the costume of an inner sect disciple of the Emei School standing in front of him, he couldn't help being slightly startled, then lightly stroked his long beard, and said in an unpredictable and profound way: "The hexagrams are impermanent, and sincerity leads to spirituality!"
Zheng Xiaobai couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and said, "Old Taoist priest, what you said is too cunning? Oh... wait a minute, if you can measure the hexagrams accurately, it proves that you are a master of Taoism! And if you can't measure accurately , then it must be that my heart is not sincere enough, right? Well...don't brag for yourself, it must not be allowed...we will find out if we take a casual gamble!"
Seeing that Zheng Xiaobai is a disciple of Emei, the old Taoist became a little impatient, and was about to send Zheng Xiaobai away, but when he heard Zheng Xiaobai say the word "gambling", his eyes lit up immediately, and he said quickly: "Well... But I don't know how my little friend will bet against Pindao?"
Zheng Xiaobai smiled, reached out a cloth bag, and grabbed a large handful of beans from it, then held his hand tightly and held it out in front of the old Taoist priest, saying, "This gamble is very simple, if the old Taoist master you Really good at divination, please do the math, how many beans are there in my hand?"
The old Taoist was slightly startled, and then he said angrily: "You little bastard, how can you gamble like this? The way of gambling is the most taboo against injustice. When two people gamble against each other, it is only fair to win or lose. How can I guess if my son grabs a handful of beans at random?"
Zheng Xiaobai was amused secretly, but on the surface he pondered for a while, and said: "Forget it! If that's the case... then old Taoist priest, can you guess whether the beans in my hand are odd or even? This is finally fair?"
The old Taoist nodded and said, "That's pretty much the same, but... since it's a gamble, there must be a lottery? But I don't think you are a rich man, but I don't know what you want to bet with me." Woolen cloth?"
Zheng Xiaobai was waiting for his words, and hurriedly said: "Boy, I really don't have any money, so I simply made a promise with the old Taoist priest! In this way... no matter who loses, I must promise the winner one thing unconditionally." ,how?"
When the old Taoist heard this, his complexion changed slightly, and after staring at Zheng Xiaobai for a long while, he smiled lightly and said, "The boy is a bit interesting! This bet is bold enough, but... I am poor 30 years ago, I gave someone a promise that I would never walk down Mount Emei, so...boy, if you want me to go down the mountain to help you with something...then don't think about it!"
Zheng Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Old Taoist priest, please don't worry. If I really win the Taoist priest by chance, I won't let the Taoist priest go down the mountain, and I won't let the old Taoist priest self-mutilate or do something unreasonable!"
The old Taoist hesitated for a while after hearing the words, finally nodded, and said: "Okay... If you are so poor, I will bet with you once! But... you have to put the beans on the ground, and then pick them up again to make a move." Counting, I have to take a rough look to see if there are any broken beans in your handful, otherwise, if there is a broken bean in two... then will it be counted as one bean? Or will it be counted as two? This must be made clear first?"
Zheng Xiaobai scolded the old fox secretly, so he had to put the handful of beans in his hand on the ground first, and sure enough one of them was split in two.
The old Taoist laughed, first picked the two halves of broken beans and threw them aside, and then said: "Little baby, do you want to use this trick to fool the poor? You are still far away! Haha... Let's talk first, If there are any broken beans later, it won't count!"
"it is good!"
Gritting his teeth, Zheng Xiaobai responded, grabbed a handful of beans again, and then handed his clenched fist to the old Taoist, saying, "Now, the old Taoist, please guess whether the beans in my hand are odd or even! "
The old Taoist rubbed his hands excitedly, laughed loudly and said, "Little baby, you've been fooled! Poor Dao is old, but his eyesight is still there. Since he was three years old, he stared at the incense candles in the dark room for half an hour every night. Hard work is not in vain! Before, you just grabbed a handful of beans in your pocket at will, but Pindao didn’t see it directly, so I don’t know how many grains you grabbed in your hand! But this time you grabbed the beans directly from the ground. Dao can see it clearly! Why...you are still not convinced? Then I can tell you that there are 47 beans in your hand, odd numbers, if you don’t believe me, you can count them yourself!"
Zheng Xiaobai was not angry when he saw the old Taoist's smug look, he opened his palms in front of the old Taoist very readily, and before Zheng Xiaobai counted them one by one to show the old Taoist, he saw that the old Taoist's card was like a blooming chrysanthemum. The old face suddenly froze, and turned into an expression of extreme surprise and horror, and exclaimed: "46 pills! How is it possible...how could one be missing!"
Zheng Xiaobai saw that the old Taoist could immediately report the exact number of beans in his hand just by sweeping his eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly startled, thinking that thanks to the heaven-defying magic weapon of his storage ring, he could have no idea I felt like secretly hiding a bean, otherwise, if I was really lucky to gamble with this old Taoist priest, I'm afraid I would have to lose all my underwear!
"Nothing is impossible in this world!" Zheng Xiaobai said lightly, "How about it... Can the old Taoist deny defeat?"
After being stunned for a moment, the old Taoist finally nodded and said, "Boy, I know you must have cheated! But... since I didn't see through your tricks, then you won! Say...you want to What are you doing?"
"thump--"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaobai knelt down without hesitation, and said: "Emei's newly promoted inner sect disciple Zheng Xiaobai pays homage to Senior Gu Fengzi, and asks Senior to accept his disciple as his disciple!"
"Is that what you asked for?"
Gu Fengzi smiled wryly and said: "Poverty has always been lazy, but he has no patience to teach his disciples! So...you have to think about it, I can keep my promise and accept you as a disciple, but don't expect me to teach you How much! From my point of view...you are better off worshiping a fourth-generation disciple as your teacher if you are under my old way! Although those little fellows are not as good as they are, at least they can teach you with all their heart!"
Zheng Xiaobai shook his head, and said to himself that if others are willing to accept me, I don't have to look for you anymore!
But there is no need to mention these words to Gu Fengzi, Zheng Xiaobai just said firmly: "The disciple has made up his mind, please take the disciple as a disciple, senior!"
Gu Fengzi nodded when he heard the words, didn't say anything, reached out and took out two old booklets from his arms, threw them to Zheng Xiaobai casually, and said: "Okay... since you are so stubborn, then the poor will make an exception to accept you." This is your apprentice. These are the two unique skills of our sect, "Yi Yang Zheng Qi Jue" and "Jie Shou Nine Forms", you can use them to study, if you can practice a little bit, then you can find a teacher! Remember... these two unique skills must not be passed on privately, even if you are also a disciple of Emei! Otherwise, if I find out that you have leaked your unique skills, I will kill you immediately as a teacher!"
Zheng Xiaobai was speechless again after hearing the words... This master is really lazy enough!After accepting the apprentice, he actually threw two books at random and left it alone, and let the apprentice practice everything by himself... I really can't find such an irresponsible master in the world!
However, Zheng Xiaobai reckoned that as long as he had skill points, he might become proficient in this martial art without practicing it. If so, it would not be a big problem whether the master taught him or not, so he bowed immediately and said, "Disciple understands!"
