. . .
On a mountain top not far from Xiaoyao Valley, Wu Xiazi and Dongfang Xi were silently looking at the maple leaf forest below.
"He and his mother are so similar, just as smart and as strong~" Dongfang Xi said in a hoarse voice. The disfigured face under the mask showed a hint of relief, but it disappeared in an instant and was replaced by , is indescribable, deep pain.
"These years... I have wronged this child~" Dongfang Xi's voice was even more choked. It has been almost sixteen years, and Dongfang Xi has forgotten what it feels like to cry.
Seeing that Wei Ming and Po Meng had walked into the room, Wu Xiazi on the side gently stroked his long beard, sighed slightly, and said: "I heard Xuan'er talk about what happened in Dukang Village before, and now I listen to this Xiao song again. In my opinion, this child has already been smart, and he may be able to remember things before he is one month old, hey~"
When Dongfang Xi heard what Wu Xiazi said, he felt a rush of blood in his heart. The memory of sixteen years ago resurfaced in his mind, "No wonder, no wonder~ He was only half a month old at that time, and he cried so sadly. ,..."
Thinking of sixteen years ago, Dongfang Xi thought of his deceased wife, and his tears were no longer restrained, flowing down the dark mask.
Wu Xiazi on the side also realized that he had accidentally touched Dongfang Xi's pain point, but looking at his current appearance, she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only quietly stroke her long beard and remain silent.
However, Dongfang Xi was not the one who needed comfort. He calmed down for a moment and said to Wuxiazi: "Now that it has been confirmed that he is safe and sound, I can rest assured. Master Wuxia, I will leave it to you from now on~" After that, he turned around and left. To leave.
"Dongfang Xi..." Wu Xiazi called out, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask: "If... I don't want to see you, how should I find..."
"..." This time it was Dongfang Xi's turn to be silent, and finally he said: "There are two graves under a willow tree ten miles outside Dukang Village. If he comes to me, I will write a letter, indicate the time and place, and put them there." Between the two tombs, I will see it when I get there."
After saying that, he stopped staying and left directly using Qinggong.
Only Wu Xiazi is left here twisting his beard and sighing.
. . .
Here, as soon as Weiming returned to the house, he was immediately pinned down on the bed by Mrs. Meng. The swift action made Weiming a little scared.
Po Meng was covering Wei Ming with a quilt when she happened to see Wei Ming's expression. She couldn't help but smile and joked: "Why~ Young Master Wei Ming is still afraid that the slave family will rape you? Haha~!"
"..." Seeing Po Meng's proud look, Weiming, as a bloody man, how could he bear it, immediately planned to get up and fight back... scratching her armpits, this was one of Po Meng's weaknesses that Weiming accidentally discovered, She is ticklish.
Of course, this move actually hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages yourself eight hundred times. Every time Wei Ming tickles her, he will also be tickled. But Wei Ming himself is actually also ticklish.
However, this time the idea was not realized in the end. Just when Weiming was about to take action, the door was opened again, and Wu Xiazi walked in from the door. From the cliff to here, with Wu Xiazi's skills, it was only a matter of seconds. effort.
Entering the house, Wu Xiazi happened to see Po Meng helping Weiming tuck in the quilt, then looked at Weiming and said warmly: "My little friend finally woke up~ Do you feel any discomfort?"
"Thank you for your concern, senior, junior... Ouch~ Sister Meng, what are you doing!" Wei Ming was about to stand up and say thank you, but was pushed back by Granny Meng.
"You're not feeling well yet, don't move around~" Po Meng said with a serious face.
"What! You were so gentle just now~" Weiming muttered with an 'angry' look on his face, but Po Meng pretended not to hear, and directly bowed her hands to Wu Xiazi solemnly, saying: "Little girl Meng Qiansi, thank you Taoist Priest Save my young master."
"Haha~ Miss Meng, there is no need to be polite. All this is the extraordinary creation of the little friend from the East. The old man is just giving a little help~" Wu Xiazi said modestly as he sidestepped the gift.
"Master, Senior Meng~" At this time, the door opened again, and Gu Yuexuan walked in with Yao Lou on his back. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Wei Ming lying on the bed with his eyes open, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on his face. , "Brother Dongfang, you finally woke up~"
"Uh~haha... Good morning! Brother Gu..." Weiming, who was lying on the bed, said hello awkwardly. He didn't dare to get up now, because from the moment Gu Yuexuan entered the door, Po Meng had been staring at her. Staring at him, he relaxed slightly when he saw that Weiming didn't get up.
Gu Yuexuan naturally saw this. Although they had not been together for a long time, he could clearly see Meng Po's concern for Wei Ming, and he was also a relatively indifferent person, so he didn't care much about it.
"How do you feel, Brother Dongfang? Do you feel any discomfort?" Gu Yuexuan asked with concern.
"Ah~ Thank you for your concern, Brother Gu. I feel very good. This is all thanks to the treatment of Senior and Brother Gu. Otherwise, this time... I'm afraid I will... Oops! Sister Meng, why are you screwing me?" Wei Ming Before she could finish her words of thanks, Mrs. Meng gave her a gentle squeeze on her arm and asked her a question subconsciously.
Po Meng rolled her eyes at him and said nothing. She turned around and helped Weiming prepare the washing utensils.
Seeing Po Meng like this, Weiming smiled secretly, knowing in his heart that she was complaining that he didn't mention her, but this was also to avenge the "revenge" of being pinned on the bed just now. Presumably Po Meng knew this well, and the two had been together for a year. More than anything, we already know each other's temperament.
Wu Xiazi next to him felt relieved when he saw that Wei Ming looked good, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, little friend. You are kind and upright. Xuan'er and the others have mentioned you to me many times, and now you are destined." When I came to Xiaoyao Valley, I wanted to make a request, I wonder if it’s okay?”
Wei Ming was slightly startled, and regardless of Po Meng's eyeful gaze on the side, he got up and got out of bed, bowed to Wu Xiazi and said, "Senior has a request, and I will obey it, but I also have a request, please fulfill it~"
As soon as the unexplained words came out, Wu Xiazi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Just say it! As long as it is not something that is harmful to nature and is within the scope of my abilities, I will definitely agree."
"Senior, don't worry. It will be easy for senior at this time, and it will not harm the heavens~" Wei Ming said with a firm face: "Junior wants to join Xiaoyao Valley and worship senior as his teacher~"
"Oh~?" Wuxiazi was really stunned this time. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. On the contrary, Gu Yuexuan on the side couldn't help but become happy when he heard this. But seeing Wuxiazi being silent, he thought his master was here. Hesitating, he quickly interceded for Wei Ming.
"Master, Brother Dongfang has a chivalrous heart and is very talented. You just said that he is kind-hearted and upright. Isn't he the right person to become our disciple of Xiaoyao Valley?"
"Senior~" Weiming saw that Wuxiazi was indifferent, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. Because he had been outside the law for thirty years, he had never had the opportunity to worship in Xiaoyao Valley. In addition, the hidden injuries worsened later, and Weiming even gave up the idea of becoming a disciple. But now By chance, not only did he arrive at Xiaoyao Valley, he was also healed of his hidden injuries. How could he let this opportunity pass?
"Hahaha~" Wu Xiazi came back to his senses at this time, smiled and said to Weiming: "Little friend~ do you know what the request I just wanted to make is?"
"Uh~ I don't know, junior." A trace of speculation flashed through Weiming's mind, but it was just a flash, and he was still more confused.
"The old Taoist's request is to accept you as a closed disciple. Since you and I agree, there is nothing we can't ask for. The East is not clear. From today on, you will be my Xiaoyao Valley, the sixth generation to enter. Disciple~"
"Great, Brother Dongfang, we are senior brothers from today~" Gu Yuexuan was the first to say happily.
Wei Ming's face was also full of joy, and he knelt down directly to worship as a master, shouting: "Thank you so much... Oh no~ Thank you so much, master!"
"Okay! Okay! Hahahaha~" Wu Xiazi twirled her long beard and smiled happily.
"Ah! By the way, there is one more question~" Weiming suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed and guilty.
"Ex...Master, besides me, is there anyone else?"
"They~" Wu Xiazi sighed slightly, and then said: "They have all left Xiaoyao Valley. Miss Feng visited you several times before leaving to confirm that you were not in danger, and then left without saying a word. , as for the other one, I have left you a few words..."
"What are you talking about?" Weiming asked hurriedly.
Seeing Weiming's anxious look, Wuxiazi smiled in a blink of an eye and said, "Now is not the time, Weiming'er! When you succeed in your studies, my teacher will tell you."
Hearing what Wu Xiazi said, Wei Ming did not ask any more questions. Having lived in two lives, he had already passed the age of strong curiosity. What's more, he believed that his master Wu Xiazi and his father must also be If you don’t harm yourself, you must be thinking about yourself.
Putting this aside, with the help of Wu Xiazi and Gu Yuexuan, as well as Po Meng and Lao Hu who arrived later, a simple and formal apprenticeship ceremony began.
