Chapter 311 Apprenticeship
Seeing that the ancestor grabbed Tang Qing's ear like this, Bi Dongyuan and others looked extremely unnatural. Which one did your ancestor play? Tang Qing is the most rare genius in the world in the ancient world. It would be fine if he had already joined the Shangqing Sect, but he had not joined yet. Why would you just grab the ears of others? Isn't this a bit too...
Although Bi Dongyuan was unwilling to the Grandfather's actions in his heart, he definitely did not dare to say them in person.
On the other hand, Tang Qing was embarrassed when he was grabbed by his ears. He nodded repeatedly, thinking about the meaning of the words his ancestor said.
The ancestor taught him a lesson like a child. He scolded him for a while, and then sat back with a humming moan.
"What are you looking at? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Tang Qing couldn't figure out whether the ancestor recognized his identity, and could not confirm it, and it was difficult to ask. The ancestor's voice came, and he immediately shook his head and responded respectfully, "What the ancestor taught me is that the boy dare not disobey."
At this time, the old sect leader finally spoke and said, "Tang Qing, do you really want to join our Shangqing Sect?"
"It is the boy's lifelong wish to join the Shangqing Sect, and I hope the sect leader will fulfill it."
"With your current qualifications and achievements, I am afraid that no one in Shangqing Sect can serve as your master, so I can do nothing." The old sect leader said lightly, his voice like his people, giving people a sense of ethereality.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked Bi Dongyuan and others.
The old sect leader actually... actually rejected Tang Qing?
Tang Qing was also stunned and was about to speak. Bi Dongyuan stood up and said, "Sect Master, our sect has another elder of the passing-through merits, and he can be Tang Qing's master."
"oh?"
"Lu Tianya, Elder Lu!"
When he heard Lu Tianya, Tang Qing's expression changed slightly, and his heart was very complicated. Other elders also stood up and agreed with Bi Dongyuan's words. Lu Tianya is a famous senior expert in the Holy Land, with a profound knowledge and knowledgeable knowledge. He was almost omniscient, but his two disciples, one Tang Wushang, failed to pass the tribulation. The other Gu Ranyan fell into the path of evil demons, which made Lu Tianya feel disheartened and retired from then on and no longer interfered in anything in the sect.
Bi Dongyuan and others couldn't bear to give up such an excellent disciple as Tang Qing, so they carried Lu Tianya out.
"Elder Lu is competent, but... he has long given up the position of Elder Passing the Merit, and he once said in person that he would not accept any disciples in his lifetime, and he would probably have little hope!"
"Sect Master, let me wait and try it. Maybe Elder Lu will change his mind?"
Bi Dongyuan and others persuaded each other, and finally the old sect leader nodded and said, "Okay, you can take Tang Qing to the back mountain to meet Elder Lu."
Upon hearing this, a stone hanging in the hearts of Bi Dongyuan and others finally landed on the ground, and took Tang Qing immediately to the back mountain. After they left, a black piece in the old sect leader's hand fell on the chessboard, shook his head, and smiled bitterly. He said, "Grandmaster, aren't you worried about him just now? His brain is not very useful."
"Even if he can see it, what can he do?" The ancestor sat on the stone bench, crossed his legs, fiddled with his feet, raised his eyes, and said, "This is his knot in his heart, and he can see that he will pretend to be stupid and don't know."
"Oh, it's all our fault, it's too much pressure on this child."
"Although you are wrong, you have made contributions. If you hadn't regarded him as the hope of Shangqing Sect back then, the knot of this child's heart would have turned into a complex, and this thing would have been even more terrifying."
"Haha, luck makes people!" The old sect leader shook his head and sighed.
"Hait, do you think Lu Boy will agree to him?"
"No." The old sect leader replied very simply, "The supreme tribulation failed and Ran Yan fell into the evil path, which made my junior brother blame himself." After a pause, he said again, "He is dead. I am afraid that he will not be interested in the reincarnation of the Daluo Golden Immortal."
"If Lu Boy doesn't agree, what are you going to do?"
"Everything goes with the flow."
"Tsk tsk..." The old ancestor smacked his lips and smiled strangely, "You kid understand a lot this time in seclusion."
"The ancestor is apologized. I am not one ten thousandth of the time when it comes to fate."
"Oh, this is a flattery." The ancestor stood up, laughed, and said, "Come on, the ancestor is a little sleepy, it's time to have a good sleep."
"Grandmaster, please wait."
"What?" The old ancestor who was about to leave stopped immediately after hearing the sound.
"I hope my grandfather will give me some advice on the matter of Boy Tang."
"Didn't you explain it clearly just now?"
"Grandmaster, don't joke with me. Brother Tang is an existence outside of fortune. I really don't know."
"Oh, you kid are quite honest." The old man poured all the wine in the gourd into his mouth when he raised his head and said, "That kid is an existence outside of fate. Even the old man can't understand it. Liang you little kids can only stare at me."
"I would like to ask my grandfather to give me some advice."
"About Boy Tang, I'll give you a few words if you're hungry. Don't worry, don't ask, life, death, fate and fate are up to him."
Whispering these words, after a long time, the old sect leader seemed to understand and said in a daze, "Thank you for your advice from the ancestor."
The old ancestor did not respond because others had long disappeared without a trace.
...
The back mountain is not the forbidden area of Shangqing Sect, but few people will come here because most of the masters buried here are the deceased masters of Shangqing Sect. More than a hundred years ago, Lu Tianya resigned from the position of Chuangong Elder, lived in seclusion in the back mountain, and guarded the tomb. As for why this famous and knowledgeable Chuangong Elder, there are many different opinions. Some say that it was because Tang Wushang failed to pass the tribulation, which made him feel disappointed, and some say that Gu Ranyan fell into the path of evil devils. What was the reason? Lu Tianya has never explained it.
Tang Qing lowered his head along the way, with a trembling trembling and a little nervous inside.
Lu Tianya is the person he respects the most in his life and the person he feels most sorry for.
After failing to overcome the tribulation, the younger sister fell into an evil demon again... Master must be very uncomfortable, right?
Shaking his head, Tang Qing didn't dare to continue thinking.
"Elder Lu is just resting in the house in front."
Bi Dongyuan's voice came, and Tang Qing looked over. There was indeed a house not far away. Perhaps it could not be considered a house, but it could only be considered an extremely simple wooden house. The courtyard next to the wooden house was surrounded by fences. The courtyard was very clean, and there was not even a table or chair, and there was only a broom for cleaning.
Seeing that Tang Qing's face was wrong, Bi Dongyuan thought that Tang Qing was worried that Lu Tianya would reject it, so he quickly comforted him, "My friend Tang, don't worry, I will persuade Elder Lu to accept you as his disciple anyway today." There were many elders and leaders this time, with a total of forty or fifty people. It seems that they are all very concerned about this matter. The most important thing is that they really don't want to give up Tang Qing, the genius.
Many people were persuading, but they were just persuading. In fact, they themselves had no idea, because everyone knew how great the blow to Lu Tianya was when Tang Wushang and Gu Ranyan's two things were. If they accepted two disciples, and both of them were open geniuses, the last one failed to overcome the tribulation and the other fell into an evil demon, such a blow would be experienced by extraordinary people, even if they could let go in the end, they would probably have no face to accept other disciples.
Now Bi Dongyuan and others only hope that Lu Tianya can focus on the overall situation and consider the Shangqing Sect. If the expectations are not the same, they all know that Lu Tianya has always been a person who is the only one who can speak the same thing.
Finally arrived at the courtyard, Bi Dongyuan began to knock on the door and shouted Elder Lu.
No one responded.
Bi Dongyuan was about to knock on the door, but at this moment, an extremely vicissitudes of voice came from inside.
"Please go back."
This sound is like the sound of an ancient bell, as long as it is old, and it is heard, making people feel like they have been through a hundred years.
This is the voice of the master.
Tang Qing will never forget it. When the voice came, his heart trembled violently. The long-suppressed guilt burst out at this moment. Even his eyes were red and wet. He wanted to kneel on the ground and cry loudly, but he finally held it back, lowered his head, and tried his best to calm his heart that could not be stopped.
Bi Dongyuan and others looked at each other and were about to speak when the old voice came again, "I have already said that I, Lu Tianya, will never accept a third disciple in my life."
Obviously, Lu Tianya already knew about this.
Although they had already expected this result, when Lu Tianya really refused, Bi Dongyuan and others still felt a little unacceptable in their hearts. They quickly persuaded and told Tang Qing's qualifications, achievements and all the advantages, but it was useless. No matter how they persuaded him, Lu Tianya didn't say a word. Then Bi Dongyuan and others advised him to put the overall situation first and think about Shangqing Sect, and directly revealed the current situation of Shangqing Sect and the various benefits brought by accepting Tang Qing, etc.
Silence, always silent.
Bi Dongyuan and others were paced back and forth like ants on a hot pan. At this time, Tang Qing knelt on the ground with a thud, but he didn't say anything because thousands of words were all on this kneeling.
Bi Dongyuan and others were very thoughtful and persuaded each other for a few hours, but Lu Tianya still didn't speak. If it weren't for Lu Tianya's high generation and prestige, they even had the urge to curse. After persuading for a while, Lu Tianya still couldn't speak. Bi Dongyuan and others thought about taking Tang Qing back to comfort him first, and then asking the old sect leader to take action tomorrow.
"Sir, please go back first."
What do we mean to go back first? Bi Dongyuan and others were a little incomprehensible for a while, but Tang Qing's next sentence made them deeply shocked.
"In my lifetime, if I cannot worship Elder Lu as my teacher, I will not kneel down until the sea is dry, until the stone is rotten, until the world ends!"
