Chapter 61 The old men’s tricks(1/2)
Li Dazhi felt that his legs were about to break.
What happened today? Why did everything come together?
My son returned from experience and brought back a very difficult senior Xu;
Li Dazhi had just filled his son's mind with the words "Feng Shen", "Heaven's Way" and "Order", when he was called over by the boss to continue the entertainment.
As a result, before the seat was warm, Li Dazhi was summoned by the master's voice, so he could only excuse himself to deal with urgent matters and return to his Zhuyuntang.
Li Dazhi opened the door and saw Taoist Kong Ming drinking tea there with a sad face.
"Master!"
Li Dazhi walked up to him with a smile and made a bow:
"You are out of seclusion. You just summoned your disciples to go to the back mountain. Why are you still here? Were you disturbed by Senior Xu Sheng?"
"Him? Humph!"
Kong Ming snorted coldly and said in a low voice:
"This old guy, when I was fighting with all my Taoist friends, I would bite a piece of my flesh if I asked him to cultivate a magic weapon. Now he knows how to ask for help!
"As a teacher, I won't let him go out because of such a trivial matter... He has great ambitions."
"Why."
"Just sit down. Isn't this your territory?"
Taoist Kongming smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
Li Dazhi sat down in a proper manner, then his eyes were empty, his mind was wandering, and he was slightly in a trance.
Taoist Kong Ming took a few sips from his tea cup, sighed and tutted from time to time, and did not speak for a long time.
Li Dazhi whispered: "Master, if you have anything to do, just ask me. I am willing to devote all my energy to solving problems for you and the sect."
It was also the first time that he saw his master's old face with such rich facial expressions.
"This matter is really troublesome."
Taoist Kongming arranged a layer of Taoist rhymes, and his slightly skinny figure approached Li Dazhi and whispered:
"Don't spread this matter to anyone else. It concerns the safety of your only son.
"To put it simply, there is a powerful person with great supernatural powers who took a fancy to Ping An's amazing understanding and wanted to teach him a method of refining weapons."
Li Dazhi's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing. I am really blessed that my family is safe! Who is the Mighty One?"
Taoist Kong Ming's eyes were a little dull and his smile was slightly bitter: "My teacher."
"What the hell? Well, no!"
Li Dazhi's wide eyes quickly narrowed, and he frowned and asked:
"Do I still have a master?"
"Don't yell randomly," Taoist Kong Ming said seriously, "I am just the teacher's registered disciple. You can't call me master indiscriminately. The teacher never accepts disciples."
"Hey, it's this respected senior, senior."
Li Dazhi was full of energy and asked with a smile:
"Master, what worries do you have now? Is it a matter of seniority?
"Master, don't worry. If Ping An and you become brothers, then it doesn't matter if I call Ping An "Uncle Ping An" in the future. It's just a title.
"If Ping An can learn great skills, it would be okay for me to call him Master!"
"You are free and easy, it's not a matter of a few names."
Taoist Kong Ming shook his head with a smile and said slowly:
"If a teacher wants to preach, he must test his peaceful mind. This is what makes it difficult for a teacher."
Li Dazhi blinked: "What's so difficult about this? How do you test your character?"
Kong Ming Taoist said: "It's probably only by letting Ping An go out and go out and go through hardships that we can see whether his character is strong or not."
Li Dazhi thought about it carefully, and then he became dejected.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome, Master."
Li Dazhi sighed:
"My family, Ping An, just came back from the East China Sea, and he was a little irritated. I listened to what he said, and the next step was to break his legs, and he would never step out of the mountain again."
Kong Ming asked: "Do you have any friends? Let Ping An deliver a letter? Then we throw a few monsters on the road. What do you think?"
"Master," Li Dazhi said in a low voice, "it's not a disciple who wants to dismantle you. Ping An definitely doesn't believe in such methods, and he will definitely say that it would be better if an immortal from within the sect is sent to deliver the letter?"
"
"Right."
Kong Ming pondered for a few times and then asked: "Is there anything missing for peace?"
Li Dazhi said in a low voice: "It's my fault, Master. My disciple usually gives him too many things."
"He deserves it. Ping An has made a lot of contributions to the sect."
Taoist Kongming continued to think.
He has never thought that it would be so troublesome to train a disciple.
Forget it on normal days, Li Ping'an had just returned from the East China Sea and hadn't practiced steadily for a few days. It really didn't make sense that he would be assigned any tasks within the sect.
Not to mention that Li Dazhi is here.
If you want to effectively test Li Pingan's character, you naturally cannot let Li Pingan know about this matter;
It is indeed difficult to deceive Li Ping'an.
Kong Ming suddenly said: "In this case, Da Zhi, you pretend to be obsessed with madness, and then you are in urgent need of some herbs. We will arrange for you to go and collect them safely!"
"Master!"
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly and said:
"If I don't do well in the sect and I don't have one or two friends on my left and right, then this situation will happen.
"Now if I really go crazy, there will be at least dozens of elders in the sect to help me.
"Besides, leaving this matter to a Void Refining Realm disciple like Ping An... it really doesn't make sense."
Kong Ming nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "In that case, let's say he has a long-lost sibling? Let him go and bring him back?"
Li Dazhi said: "Master, he is the only child among the disciples. He knows it, and there is no chance of this happening. Before we entered the big city in the world, we lived in an isolated place."
Kong Ming continued to frown in thought.
Li Dazhi was also worried nearby.
Half an hour later, the leader Yun Mo was also called over. The three masters and disciples were thinking about how to deceive Li Ping'an.
The leader said: "There are three difficulties in this matter. First, we must not let Ping An know that this is a trial, otherwise we will not be able to observe his character. Second, we must not let the senior resent our actions. Third, we must not really throw Ping An into a desperate situation.
That could easily damage his Taoist mind and miss such an opportunity."
Taoist Kong Ming nodded slowly, and Li Dazhi frowned.
Kong Ming asked: "Yunmo, your analysis is so thorough, what can you do?"
"I'm still thinking about this," the leader smiled awkwardly and sat aside, posing like a thinker in Taoist robes.
Li Dazhi began to pace slowly, while Taoist Kong Ming continued to hold his beard and ponder.
After a while, the three Taoists each spoke and mentioned one or two trial plans, but they were all rejected.
Li Dazhi suggested that Mu Ningning should be used to lure Li Ping'an, saying that something was going on at Mu Ningning's family, and then they secretly arranged for a group of disciples to pretend to be evil cultivators.
This plan is very prone to loopholes, and it will also let many sect members know that it is very difficult to deceive Li Ping'an as the sect conducts a trial for a disciple with great fanfare.
The leader suggested that it be better to arrange a training meeting for the disciples, and have the disciples rush to the borders of Beizhou and Xizhou in batches to slay demons and demons, and at the same time let the senior see Li Ping'an's character.
But Li Dazhi asked, if there were casualties among disciples during the training process, wouldn't it mean that the loss outweighs the gain?
This kind of plan can only be abandoned.
Taoist Kongming came up with another idea - without telling Li Ping'an anything, just move him to the border of Xizhou to see if he could return to Dongzhou safely.
Li Dazhi almost knelt down and kowtowed to his master.
It’s just a matter of hardship and experience, observing the character of one’s mind, and there is no need to actually go to the wilderness to survive!
The three old men thought hard again.
The leader raised his head and sighed: "The key is that Ping An is too smart. If he were a little stupider, we wouldn't have to worry so much."
Taoist Kong Ming smiled and said: "If he is too stupid, how could he be favored by that senior?"
All three of them smiled in relief.
Suddenly, a gentle old voice sounded from the corner:
To be continued...
