Chapter 33 Apprenticeship
Su Qingning frowned slightly, and there was a faint illusion in her heart, as if the little Taoist boy was waiting for her to come, but this thought was just a passing thought, and then she looked forward calmly.

In the crowd, the young master and young lady supported by a few slaves retreated, while most of the others stayed behind.After all, the reputation of Immortal Doctor here has attracted many people to stay.

Xiao Daotong nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Since everyone stayed, you agree to the test. The distance from here to the top of the mountain is 800 meters, and the sky is covered by the sun. There are ferocious beasts infesting it. If you accidentally get eaten I can only blame you for your bad luck, when the sun rises tomorrow, you must reach the top of the mountain, otherwise it will be considered a failure, and you will not be responsible for any injuries or deaths, are you ready?"

Many of the people present were children from good families. They just wanted to glorify their ancestors. It would not be worthwhile to lose their lives for this. Therefore, many people retreated to the back again, and the crowd instantly decreased by one-third.

Xiao Daotong didn't say much, if he didn't even have the courage to move forward, there was really no need to stay.After everyone stood up, Xiao Daotong waved his hand and let everyone start climbing the mountain.

Su Qingning fell at the end alone. Although the road at the beginning was flat, if she rushed too fast, she might consume too much energy. Her physical fitness could not compare with those men with good cultivation, so she could only take her time. , but smelling the smell of insect repellent herbs on the roadside, her heart gradually relaxed. It seemed that what the little Taoist said just now was just to scare people, as long as they arrived within the specified time.

On the top of the mountain, a middle-aged man in a dark blue Taoist robe was sitting on a big rock, drinking a good wine in his hand, his expression was full of complacency, and beside him stood a young man in a crescent white robe, with a man's expression A little anxious, he looked down the mountain from time to time, with a trace of worry on Peerless Wushuang's face.

"Master, brother, the next step has already begun!" Xiao Daotong flew up, bowed respectfully, then retreated behind the middle-aged man, looked at the stunning man beside him, and couldn't help but sniggered.

The young man turned around and looked at the person on the boulder with dissatisfaction, "You are recruiting people to learn medicine and poisoning, not teaching martial arts, why are you doing these things? If she is too weak to climb up, then you My good apprentice is gone!"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes half-closed, and his monstrous face showed how stunning he was when he was young, but at the moment his face was full of disdain, "Stinky boy, if you didn't want to study medicine, I wouldn't need to find an apprentice anymore! If you don’t have the willpower at all, then you can go home and do embroidery! Do you think that medicine and poison are easier to learn than martial arts? On the contrary, it took ten years for the old man to develop the current skill, and it took him a lifetime to learn the current medical and poison skills. If you can't persist, then it's better not to learn, so as not to lose the name of the old man!" After speaking, he turned his head away in disdain.

The young man knew that what he was telling was the truth, but he was still upset, so he raised his eyebrows and glared at him, "Old man, you have already taken off your mask now, you are a generation of medical immortals who stand out from the world and are as graceful as a fairy, you have to pay attention to your image , lest I lose face as an apprentice!"

The middle-aged man gathered his clothes, sat on the boulder, put on a fairy-like appearance, then lay down again, and said with a smile: "Even if the people below have some martial arts, it will take half a day to come up." , why should the old man be anxious. But you, if your identity is discovered, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble."

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait until my girl comes up!" Jun Luochen waved his sleeves, and picked a big rock to lie on.

The Immortal Doctor snorted coldly, "You know how difficult this mountain is to climb, I don't think this apprentice can accept him!" Although he had some expectations for Su Qingning in his heart, he couldn't help suppressing his apprentice's arrogance. The appearance of Xiaodaotong made the later Xiaodaotong laugh.

The Immortal Doctor glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you laughing, if you laugh again, go down the mountain to make alchemy!"

Xiao Daotong was not afraid of him, he pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "I think Miss Su will definitely come up, Master, this apprentice is definitely accepted!" He is an orphan adopted by Master, and has always been treated as his own son, but unfortunately he is not He has no bones, no talent for studying medicine, and cannot inherit the mantle of Master, so I secretly hope that Master can find a suitable successor.Although he only had a glimpse at the foot of the mountain just now, but seeing that firm look in his eyes, he felt that he could definitely succeed.

Hearing his words, Jun Luochen's eyes were full of complacency, but the worry in the depths of his eyes did not diminish at all.

Time passed slowly, the sun and the moon alternated, and the silver light covered the earth. The original one-third of the people was reduced by half again, and there were only less than 20 people who continued to climb.However, most of the people were exhausted to the extreme. At the turn of spring and summer, the air was relatively warm, and they didn't feel cold when lying on the ground. This made many people unable to withstand the temptation and fell asleep.

Su Qingning stood on the mountainside, with many bloodstains on his palms, face, and body, but his dark eyes were still calm, like an old man who saw through the world, without any disturbance.Her eyes searched ahead, and after finding a suitable path, she continued to walk up the mountain step by step.

"Little brother, there is still a long way to go from the mountain peak. I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it tomorrow morning at your speed!" A black-clothed boy came to rest on the mountainside. The boy was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, The two little canine teeth looked extremely cute, and seeing her slowly going up step by step, she couldn't help reminding her aloud.

"Hehe, thank you brother, regardless of the final result, I have to give it a try, otherwise, I will lose without waiting for the result!" Su Qingning curled her lips, and her somewhat embarrassed face became amazed by this smile , the boy in black couldn't help being stunned, and after a while he scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "If the little brother is a woman, I'm afraid she will definitely be a beautiful beauty!"

Seeing his appearance like this, Su Qingning burst out laughing, then clasped his fists and said, "Brother, that's ridiculous, I'm Qin Ning, don't you know your brother's name?"

The boy in black scratched his head again, his eyes were full of astonishment, and when he saw the other party staring at him with a smile that was not a smile, he reacted and said honestly: "Hello, brother Qin, my name is Han Fang, I just arrived in the capital , I’m not quite used to the etiquette and rules here!”

Su Qingning raised his brows slightly, and there was a brilliance in his eyes. The previous prince Wu Yuqi ascended the throne, and once appointed two young people from Jiangzhou as high-ranking officials. One was Xia Hui, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, and was promoted to the rank of counselor in an extraordinary way. Political affairs, the future prime minister; and the other is called Han Fang, who is the nephew of General Yang Wei Yang, his great-grandfather was once the number one general under Zhongyong Hou, and the Han family respected martial arts for generations, but later The population was not prosperous, and it was gradually forgotten by people. It was not until the appearance of Han Fang that people remembered the existence of the Han family.Later, the prince got acquainted with Han Fang by a coincidence, and Han Fangfang followed the prince until he ascended the throne.Although she knew this person in her previous life, she didn't pay attention to him. She only saw him from a distance, and then heard many rumors about him. If he was eliminated, the prince Wu Yuqi would lose an arm.

It seemed that the age of the person in front of her was in line with Han Fang's, and the outline of her face was also quite similar. If it was really the Han Fang from her previous life, she would have to get acquainted. "Hehe, Big Brother Han's accent doesn't seem to be the accent of the capital city, but it has a taste of Jiangzhou!" Su Qingning clasped her fists, and there was an incomprehensible glint in her phoenix eyes.

Han Fang looked at the visitor in shock, then clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin's hearing is really good. Although I was in the capital for a short time, before I came, my family specially invited the teacher and professor from Beijing. Thinking about it, I was heard by my brother!"

Su Qingning smiled slightly. It seems that this Korean prescription is the other Korean prescription. It is rumored that this person has a straightforward personality and is extremely talented in leading troops in battle. He is the best candidate for the general, so it seems that the rumors are true.

"I heard that the Han family in Jiangzhou had some connections with Zhongyonghou's mansion. I have some friendship with Zhongyonghou's son. If Brother Han needs it, I can recommend it for you!" The Han family has been proud to serve Zhongyonghou's mansion for generations. He will accept it.

Han Fang's eyes lit up, he came to the capital from Jiangzhou, on the one hand, he wanted to find an errand under his uncle's tent, and on the other hand, he wanted to enter the Zhongyonghou Mansion, his great-grandfather was an ordinary guard in the Zhongyonghou Mansion back then , Later, he gradually showed his military talents, and was promoted step by step by Zhongyong Hou, and finally he was officially worshiped as a general.This experience has always been what he admires the most, so he has always hoped to have the opportunity to enter Beijing and enter the Zhongyonghou Mansion, but he did not expect this opportunity to be right in front of him.

"Brother Qin, is what you said true? Great, if I can enter the Zhongyonghou Mansion, I will definitely remember my brother's great kindness!" Han Fang did not hide his yearning at all, and his honest face was full of joy.

The corner of Su Qingning's mouth curled into a slight smile, she wanted to cut off Wu Yuqi's hands one by one, so that he would no longer be able to design the Ruyang Palace, it would be a pity to give him such a talent.

The two were about the same age. Although Su Qingning hadn't read any books on the art of war, when she was young, King Ruyang would say something in front of her when he had nothing to do. After a long time, she remembered some of it.Although King Ruyang seldom leads troops to fight, but his vision is good, so every time she mentions something, the other party is full of shock and admiration. In just a few hours, the two have become like friends who have known each other for a long time.

The foot of Yaoshan Mountain was quite flat, but the mountainside was extremely steep, but when they approached the top of the mountain, it became flat again, which also increased the speed of the two of them a lot.Maybe it's two people together, the mountain road is not that difficult. Although Su Qingning's physical strength can't compare with him, but he has perseverance. When a white light shines in the sky, the two rushed to the top of the mountain together.
