Xiao Dizi followed the sound and found that the head sticking out was also wearing a scarf. He knew that he was Ren Bai's disciple, so he planned to go up and talk to him.
Unexpectedly, Ghostface Zhang pulled him aside and said to the person at the door: "Senior brother, this little devil is looking around here in a sneaky way. If I don't scare him, can I still allow him to cause trouble here? But, this The little devil is indeed a little weird, but I didn't scare him much."
Hearing this, the man at the door opened the door and walked out, asking Xiao Dizi: "Little brother, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
When Xiao Lizi asked, he quickly explained his purpose.
"Ah, it turns out to be Brother Zhang, disrespectful!" the man said, "My name is Fang Ping, and like Grimace Zhang, both are Mr. Ren's disciples. I will take you to see Mr. Ren right away. Junior Brother Zhang likes to tease you with those grimaces. People, you don’t have to care, and don’t be afraid.”
As Xiao Dizi followed Fang Ping inside, he thought: This Fang Ping, who is gentle and gentle, is completely different from that grimacing Zhang. They are as different as the nine sons of dragons, and their teachers and teachers are also different. . Fortunately, brother Zhang Xiaoyu didn't come, otherwise, that grimace Zhang would definitely have received a severe beating.
When he didn't move, Fang Ping took Xiao Lizi to the outside of Ren Bai's study. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. After hearing the response from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
Xiao Mizi took a quick look and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in this simple study. He had a majestic appearance and a serious demeanor. He was completely different from Xiaoqin's husband, who also had white hair and beard.
Fang Ping stepped forward to explain the situation, and Xiao Dizi handed Zhang Kuanren's letter of recommendation and waited for Ren Bai's response.
Ren Bai read the letter of recommendation and said to Xiao Mizi: "According to Brother Zhang, you have achieved some success in your articles and are highly qualified. I will give you a topic on the spot. How about you try it?"
"But it depends on the teacher's advice!" Xiao Dizi responded respectfully.
Next, Ren Bai randomly asked a question, and Fang Ping prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xiao Jizi stepped aside and thought carefully, then started writing. After stopping writing, he stepped aside and stood with his hands down.
Fang Ping showed the text with the fragrance of ink to Ren Bai. During the reading process, Ren Bai nodded or shook his head without any other expression.
After reading, Ren Bai said to Xiao Lizi: "Well, judging from the skill of this article, Brother Zhang's evaluation of you is not an exaggeration. If you are interested, just stay under my door. Wubo, You are the senior brother, you should know how to do it."
When Xiao Lizi heard this, he realized that Zhang Ping's calligraphy was Wubo. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly kowtowed to Ren Bai and paid homage to Ren Bai according to Zhang Kuanren's prior instructions.
Ren Bai accepted his obeisance calmly, and asked him some other information. He learned that he only had a name but no character, so after some thought, he named him Zi'ang.
"Congratulations, brother Zi'ang, we are senior brothers from now on, please take good care of us!"
Xiao Lizi returned the greeting and followed Fang Ping out. Fang Ping took him to meet the other disciples.
There were less than twenty people who studied with Ren Bai. Xiao Lizi met them one by one, but he couldn't remember all their names and faces for a while. The only ones who were impressed were Fang Ping and Gu Lianzhang.
Ghostface Zhang's name was Zhang Hai, with the word Wuyuan. After hearing Fang Ping's introduction to Xiao Lizi, his face immediately drooped.
When Fang Ping saw this, he didn't say anything at the time. Afterwards, he pulled the grimace aside and said, "Brother Wuyuan, Brother Zi'ang didn't provoke you. It was you who made the grimace to scare others. Now he has become our fellow junior fellow student. What's wrong with you?" Are you unhappy instead?"
Ghost Face responded with a straight face: "Senior brother, you don't know something. His name is the same as Jia Yan, how can I be happy?"
Fang Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Wuyuan, this is wrong! Brother Zi'ang's surname is Li Zaozhang, and your surname is Gong Changzhang. How can he have the same name as your father?"
With a grimace on his face, he said: "Senior brother, he is just a newcomer. Why are you protecting him like this? Although his last name is different from Jia Yan's, the pronunciation is the same and they have the same name. How can I accept this? I listen to him Calling him is like calling me father. Isn't it very awkward? This new country boy will make things awkward for me as soon as he comes here. That's not okay. I must let him change his name, otherwise I will I’m not done with him!”
Fang Ping tried to persuade him earnestly for a long time, but Grimace Zhang still refused to give in, so he had to give up.
Ghostface Zhang chatted with Fang Ping for a while, then pulled Xiao Dizi into a corner and said in an imposing manner: "Zhang Zi'ang, you must change your name, otherwise I will never be done with you!"
Xiao Dizi was confused as to why Ghost Face Zhang forced him to change his name. He asked in confusion: "Brother Wuyuan, what are you talking about? What does my name have to do with you? Why did you ask me to change my name?" "
The grimace said arrogantly: "I just want you to change your name. What's wrong? Just tell me whether you want to change your name or not!"
"I won't change it!" Xiao Dizi responded forcefully, "A man can't change his name but his surname. You're asking me to change my name for no reason, and you're obviously bullying me. I'm telling you, even though I'm young, I won't be bullied by you!"
"Okay, just wait for me!"
With a grimace and gritted teeth, he glared at Xiao Mizi, and before leaving, he spat at his side.
"It's inexplicable, I don't know what it means!"
Xiao Mizi looked at the shaky back of Ghost Face Zhang and said to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Hong Rui's voice.
"What, you got into trouble with the members of the Sour Ghost Family?"
Hearing this, he immediately trembled and said, "Master, what kind of acid ghost family are you talking about? Are they humans or ghosts?"
From the exaggerated and lifelike grimace of Ghost Face Zhang, he guessed that Ghost Face Zhang was born by a ghost.
But I heard Hong Rui say: "They are humans in this world, but they were ghosts in their previous lives, and they were sour ghosts among the ghost clan."
"What, sour ghosts?" Xiao Dizi wondered, "Could it be that they all have a sour stench on their bodies?"
"It's not appropriate to say that they have a sour smell. To be precise, they all have all kinds of poverty and sourness on their bodies." Hong Rui responded, "Among the ghost tribe, they are a relatively lowly group. Because of this, they They don’t dare to do any serious evil, and they can at most do something like a rooster or a dog. Otherwise, they will keep circulating in the ghost realm and will not be able to be reincarnated into human beings.”
"Great God, it may be true that they have not done any great evil, but I feel that even if they are reincarnated as humans, they have not completely gotten rid of their poor nature. They make faces and force others to change their names. Normal people are completely unable to do that."
Xiao Lizi said angrily.
"Because they are transformed from sour ghosts, they are more likely than ordinary people to take advantage of others and accept death." Hong Rui said, "Once someone is entangled with them, it will be difficult to get rid of them. Unfortunately, you are now trapped by a sour ghost. Tangled up."
"What do you mean, God, is this damn guy going to keep pestering me?"
When he said this, Xiao Dizi was a little worried.
"Then it depends on whether you can meet his requirements." Hongrui responded, "He will not give up until he achieves his goal. This is his nature, and it is not easy to change."
"But," Xiao Dizi said with a look of grievance, "he forced me to change my name. I can't possibly comply with him. It would be very embarrassing."
"If you don't comply with him, then you have to make him comply with you." Hongrui said, "If he doesn't want to eat red dates, then you give him a mallet. Isn't this a very simple principle?"
Xiao Dizi hesitated and said: "Great God, I've just arrived and become a disciple. If I cause any trouble, what will others think of me?"
