Asking About Longevity: Chapter 366 Take on a disciple
Chapter 366 Recruiting a Disciple
“You’re not getting fat, you’re getting thick-skinned…” Puppet Lao couldn’t help but say.
Mr. Zhuang denied:
“It’s impossible, I’ve always been so thick-skinned.”
The old man sighed, stopped messing with him, and asked about business: "Have you figured out how to stop being involved in cause and effect?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "I've thought about it."
“Meet the Master.”
Mr. Zhuang solemnly said: "You have to think about it carefully."
Bai Zixi was careful after all. He hesitated for a moment before leaving, and then asked:
“Sir, ink painting…”
There is nothing we can do if we just don’t want to give it up.
Confusing cause and effect…
Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng didn't know what they were talking about. Bai Zixi's beautiful eyes were slightly bright, and she listened quietly from the side, occasionally showing a smile as light as a crescent moon.
In comparison, I was born with a weak body, weak spiritual roots, and came from a poor family. However, my spiritual consciousness was stronger and I could draw formations better.
Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Am I not already your disciple?"
Mr. Zhuang gave them brief instructions and sent them back.
Bai Zisheng looked excited, and Bai Zixi also smiled lightly. His smile was like an epiphyllum blooming in the night, beautiful and stunning.
Liu Ruhua sighed,
"Hua'er has learned formations so well. There is no one in Tongxian City who can teach him. If he stays here for the rest of his life, it will be difficult for him to make any progress..." "I know he likes to learn formations and wants to learn them, but he also wants to learn them. Concerned about us, we can’t make up our minds.”
They thought that Mr. Zhuang would not accept them, but they did not expect that things turned around in the end and Mr. Zhuang actually agreed to accept them as his disciples.
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said: "It doesn't matter..."
Liu Ruhua gradually calmed down and nodded silently.
Seeing that his wife looked much better, Mo Shan held her hand tightly and comforted her:
"No matter where he wanders, he will come back one day. As parents, we can just wait here for him..."
Mr. Zhuang felt warm in his heart. He stepped forward to help Mo Hua up and dusted his clothes. "Don't give such a big gift. It's too intrusive..."
“Since it can’t be avoided, let’s use other causes and effects to confuse it.”
“We have nothing to repay for this kindness.”
"Um."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, then looked far away into the courtyard.
Mo Hua squinted and smiled.
The next day, Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang as usual, bringing a lot of food in large and small boxes.
Mo Shan also nodded and said, "Just listen to your mother."
The two men immediately saluted and said respectfully:
We all become registered disciples together. If they are the only ones who worship Mr. Zhuang as their teacher, then they will probably feel uncomfortable...
After returning home, Mo Hua told his parents about the incident.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting, his face suddenly became gentle, and he said softly:
“Mo Hua, are you willing to be my disciple?”
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "Get up."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "Not a registered disciple, but a direct disciple!"
"Your mother should know the rest and have told you about it."
Since the matter has been determined, there is no need to hesitate or hesitate, just move forward firmly.
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and nodded gently.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "They have good qualifications and have some connections with me. I will accept them."
Under the big locust tree in the courtyard, the three disciples were enjoying themselves.
Mo Hua was about to agree, but was stopped by Mr. Zhuang.
…
Mr. Zhuang is considerate and thoughtful.
Mo Hua’s small brows were knitted together, very tangled.
“I can’t delay his future just because he’s reluctant to give up.”
Mo Hua nodded seriously.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy.
“If you confuse the smell of wine, others may not be able to smell it; if you confuse the cause and effect, others may not be able to detect it.”
“Personally…personally passed down?”
The two stood up respectfully again.
Mo Hua frowned, not knowing what to consider.
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded in agreement.
Mo Hua thought he was dreaming, but even if he was dreaming, he had to agree to this kind of thing.
In this way, if we all become registered disciples together, and then become direct disciples together, we are truly fellow disciples.
Mo Hua nodded solemnly.
Mr. Zhuang said gently: "Go back and ask your parents, think about it carefully, and then give me an answer."
The more important something is, the less room there is for change.
Mo Hua felt it was not appropriate, so he hesitated, and then asked: "Where are Zisheng and Zixi, won't you accept them?"
Mr. Zhuang then said: "I am leaving Tongxian City. If you worship me as your teacher and learn formations from me, you will travel with me."
Lao Puppet looked at him silently.
Mr. Zhuang was stunned.
Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua both looked happy, but then they both hesitated.
Mo Shan was also reluctant to part with him, but he didn’t show it. He just smiled and comforted:
"Don't worry, it's just a wandering, it's not like you won't come back. Who hasn't traveled when they were young?"
After Mo Hua returned to his room, Liu Ruhua's determined expression disappeared, and he became hesitant and anxious again, worrying about gains and losses.
194.88.251.172
Liu Ruhua laughed through tears and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
In other words, when it comes to the affairs of aristocratic families, their disciples, even if they are direct descendants and have outstanding talents, often cannot make the decision.
Before Bai Zixi finished speaking, Bai Zisheng came to his senses and helped to ask:
“Is there anything to consider?”
The two of them were even happier now.
It seems that so many years of wandering have finally settled, and so many years of depression and frustration have gone with the wind.
“We are just casual cultivators with no reputation and no profit. Despite this, Mr. Zhuang is still willing to accept you as his disciple. This is a great kindness.”
Mr. Zhuang took a sip of wine and said calmly:
Mo Shan frowned, and just when he was about to say something, Liu Ruhua said firmly:
“Hua’er, you should take Mr. Zhuang as your teacher.”
“Being able to learn formations from Mr. Zhuang is a great opportunity, don’t miss it!”
Seeing Mo Hua’s innocent smile, Mr. Zhuang also smiled gently and felt relieved.
Mr. Zhuang looked at him with a faint smile, "What do you want to ask?"
The brothers and sisters actually have no control over the matters here.
Liu Ruhua’s eyes were slightly sour and she nodded.
The morning sun is bright and the room has a clear glow.
Before you become a disciple, you should follow your mother’s arrangements; after you become an apprentice, you should follow Mr. Zhuang’s arrangements.
He asked quietly: "Sir, how many apprentices do you plan to have?"
“Okay, I remember it!”
Mr. Zhuang said: "Let's burn incense and serve tea on another day, and then formally become my disciple."
Mo Hua was overjoyed, but then he asked cautiously:
“Sir, won’t you regret accepting me as your personal disciple? My spiritual skills are very poor…”
They only need to become apprentices, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
In any case, he finally accepted this apprentice.
It should be natural for Mr. Zhuang to accept Zi Sheng Zixi as his disciple, but accepting himself is a bit like "making up the numbers".
How can I let go of the child who has been with me since childhood and is so well-behaved and considerate...
When Mr. Zhuang saw this, he sighed in his heart:
Puppet Lao frowned and thought about it, then he understood, but he still said:
“By doing this, wouldn’t it make the cause and effect more complicated?”
“Perhaps he will come back after a few years?”
Mo Hua was happy for a while, then suddenly thought of something and became a little confused.
“It’s not me who makes things complicated…”
We all become registered disciples together, and now they all regard Mr. Zhuang as their teacher. If Mo Hua is missing, even if he doesn't say it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Mo Hua then thought again. Zi Sheng and Zi Xi were extremely talented and had a good family background. Perhaps Mr. Zhuang had long wanted to accept them as his disciples.
Mr. Zhuang was startled, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart. He nodded and said:
"meeting!"
Liu Ruhua looked gentle, shook his head and said:
"You don't have to think about it so much. If your formation is successful, the world is vast and you can go anywhere. Don't worry about temporary differences."
“You take Mr. Zhuang as your teacher, serve him around, and show your devotion to him, which can be regarded as a way of repaying Mr. Zhuang...”
After Mo Hua left happily, Mr. Zhuang called Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi again and asked straight to the point:
“You are willing to worship me as your teacher?”
Mr. Zhuang's eyes were obscure, "Since I agreed to accept you as my disciples, I will naturally teach you what I should teach you, and I will also have an explanation for her."
Obviously he wanted to recruit a disciple, but Mo Hua respectfully came to be his disciple...
Mr. Zhuang’s eyes were profound, “But there are some causes and effects that already exist.”
But once he becomes a disciple, he will leave with Mr. Zhuang. He doesn’t know when he can come back and when he can see his parents again...
“Cause and effect are established. Just like this wine, you can’t stop drinking it if you want to. As long as you drink the wine, you will inevitably get the smell of the wine.”
He wanted to become a disciple of Mr. Zhuang and learn more advanced formations, but he was reluctant to leave his parents for fear that they would be worried.
“Sir, my mother asked me to bring it to you to try!”
"You have no idea how long it will take you to wander around. You should discuss it with your parents and consider their feelings before deciding whether to become a disciple."
“Sir, will you take ink painting as your disciple?”
“When the time comes, I might even be able to bring you a little wife back.”
The tone of the ink painting is cheerful, and the eyes are as clear as stars.
Liu Ruhua’s tone was gentle but firm.
Mo Hua was slightly startled, "But..."
Mo Shan held her hand and said softly:
“Can’t bear to part with it?”
…
But Mo Hua doesn't care. Mr. Zhuang is willing to accept him as his disciple, and he is very happy.
Bai Zisheng and the other two were also stunned.
Mo Hua was stunned.
No matter how the world changes and how cause and effect change, this thing will never change.
He opened his mouth wide and was in disbelief for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly.
The next day, Mo Hua went to see Mr. Zhuang again. Remembering his parents’ instructions, he bowed respectfully and said in a clear voice:
“I’m not good at ink painting, I hope you will accept me as your disciple!”
After a while, Bai Zisheng looked excited, and Bai Zixi also looked happy.
"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans..."
This child is actually even better looking than her mother.
I don’t know if it will be a good thing in the future...
