The top of Star Picking Peak, inside the cave
Li Mingru sat cross-legged, holding the blue brick stained red with blood in his hand, looking at the two people in front of him, one large and one small, with a strange expression.
One of these two people is his greatest disciple.
The other one is his most troublesome disciple.
The eldest disciple had a bright red mouth, three teeth were knocked out in his mouth, and his buttocks were still shaking uncontrollably. It must have been a long time since such a large brick was stuffed in and then pulled out by himself... Can't get along~
As for the little disciple, his cute little face was also covered with scars, which looked shocking and hard to bear to look at.
Seeing the miserable state of the two disciples, he sighed and said with some helplessness: "Master already knows the reason for what happened today."
Li Yaoxi, whose buttocks were still shaking, turned pale and did not dare to say a word.
Li Mingru also had a headache at the moment. He was not very good at educating disciples, but he felt that he had to talk to these two disciples today no matter what.
He got up with a headache and briefly treated their injuries.
Lin Xiaolu's injury is okay and can be repaired with spiritual methods. However, Li Yaoxi's broken teeth are probably difficult to grow back in a short time, and the same is true for his hips. It will take some time to slowly close up, so it's okay to learn a lesson.
After the two men's injuries were treated, Li Mingru brushed off the blood on Xiaolu's face and said softly to him: "Xiaolu, go outside and wait for a while. When the master calls you, come in again."
Lin Xiaolu curled his lips, glared at Li Yaoxi sideways, and then angrily walked away with his short legs.
After the young man left and only Li Mingru and Li Yaoxi were left in the cave, Li Yaoxi immediately nervously explained:
"Master, today's incident is actually based on Xiao Yu'er's long-term consideration, disciple."
Li Mingru raised his face and glanced at him.
This glance also made Li Yaoxi's words freeze immediately and he swallowed them back.
It had been a long time since he had seen such angry eyes from his master.
In his impression, Li Mingru was always very chic, easy-going, and indifferent to everything, but this look in his eyes at this moment made him understand that Li Mingru was really angry.
Is it because he beat up that bastard Lin Xiaolu? Or is it because you look down on mortals? Or both?
In the cave, Li Mingru looked at Li Yaoxi for a long time, and then said expressionlessly: "Yaoxi, how old were you when you became your master?"
"Return to Master, this disciple has been with you since he was four years old."
"Well, it was a few years earlier than Xiaolu's entry." Li Mingru took a sip of the wine in the gourd, but his face still showed no expression, and continued to ask: "How did you meet me as a teacher?"
Li Yaoxi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he responded tremblingly: "Disciple, I was abducted by a gangster when I was a child, had my legs broken, and was forced to go out to beg. Then, one year during the heavy snow, I was rescued by my master."
Li Mingru nodded, looked at his eldest disciple, and asked again: "So, what were you before you practiced with my master?"
Li Yaoxi trembled, and she was so sweaty that she didn't dare to speak.
Li Mingru's originally calm eyes suddenly glared, and his voice suddenly rose in pitch:
"Tell me! What were you before becoming a teacher?"
Li Yaoxi was horrified and knelt down with a thump. He lowered his head and shouted: "Disciple knows I was wrong! Please forgive me, master!"
Li Mingru, who was holding the wine gourd, stared at Li Yaoxi who was kneeling in front of him, and his chest heaved violently several times.
I had not disciplined him too much before. In the past, I only thought that my great disciple was mature, steady, well-informed, and practiced hard, so I kept letting him go. I never thought that he would have such a good character now.
He looked at Li Yaoxi, who was kneeling on the ground, his body trembling constantly, and said in a cold voice: "Whether it is a teacher, a sect leader, or other elders in Emei, almost everyone has come out of the mortal world! They all started as mortals. Stepping into the Immortal Gate, where do you have the courage to look down on mortals and the people of the world!"
Li Mingru became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his chest heaving violently several times, and he shouted angrily: "Even an illiterate country man in the world knows that a son does not think his mother is ugly, and a dog does not think his family is poor. reason!
As the chief disciple of Star Reaching, don’t you even understand this truth?
How can you become an immortal? What else are you practicing! "
After saying that, Li Mingru, who was so angry that he couldn't help but kick him, made Li Yaoxi groan and fall to the ground.
Li Yaoxi did not dare to resist. After being kicked, he quickly knelt down again and looked like he was bowing his head and repenting.
Li Mingru stared at him and panted violently for a few times. After a long time, seeing him lowering his head and admitting his mistake, the anger in his heart dropped a little, and he said coldly:
"Both you and Miaoxin were accepted by my master when you were very young. Since your parents were not around when you two became apprentices to me, and you were too young to remember your names, my master asked you two to follow me. My teacher’s surname is Li, do you remember it?”
"Disciple remembers." Li Yaoxi responded quickly.
"Then what does it mean for my master to name you Yao Xi!"
Li Yaoxi's kneeling body trembled, and he said with a trembling voice: "Master wants this disciple to be as dazzling as the morning sun and to be an upright monk with the world in mind."
Li Mingru glared at him: "Thank you for remembering!"
He raised his head and took a swig of the wine from the gourd, as if he wanted to drown the anger in his heart.
After the wine in the gourd was drained, Li Mingru finally calmed down and looked at his eldest disciple and continued:
"You are very talented and your cultivation is much higher than Miaoxin, but Miaoxin is kinder than you. You should learn this from your junior sister, do you understand?"
"Disciple understands! Master, don't worry, I will never do this again! I will definitely live up to the name given by Master!" Li Yaoxi responded loudly, clasping his fists.
Seeing what he said, Li Mingru's angry look receded a little.
"Today you beat your junior brother and insulted the outer disciples. I wanted to punish you, but I thought you had learned your lesson, so I gave up for the time being. But I hope this is the last time. If you do it again, I will kill you with my own hands. !”
Li Yaoxi stiffened and didn't even dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Li Mingru waved his hand: "You can retreat on your own for a while and reflect on it."
"yes."
Li Yaoxi respectfully stood up and left, and retreated to the entrance of the cave. Just as he turned around to leave, Li Mingru's teaching voice came out again:
"Yao Xi, remember, to cultivate as an immortal...be a human first!"
After Li Yaoxi heard this, he was startled for a moment, then his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, he turned around and punched Li Mingru.
"Disciple, please remember this!"
…
…
Outside the cave, Lin Xiaolu, who had fully recovered from his injuries, stood proudly on the top of the snow-capped mountains with a pair of short hands on his back, looking up at the sky, showing off his immortal style.
Looking at the boundless sky, a hint of loneliness appeared on his young face.
I am eight years old this year, and I can already beat the foundation-building monks violently. If I am so awesome and powerful, what will I do if I grow up in the future?
Hey...why am I so awesome? It really gives me a headache just thinking about it.
The boy sighed with a lonely face, but Li Mingru's voice suddenly came from the cave behind him:
"The first tyrant of Winter Melon Village, come in!"
As soon as Lin Xiaolu heard this, the melancholy expression on his face was immediately wiped away, replaced by a cute yet mean smile, and he ran towards the cave.
"Here I come, boss~"
