The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 86

"Don't pay too much attention to things being moved." Du Zhong coughed lightly, raised his hand and nodded, "Go get me a basin of water, I want to clean my hands."

Gu Qingli nodded, then squinted his eyes and glanced at the room, raised his hand and grabbed it, and a silver-white basin was taken from the air with a "swish".

When the basin was delivered to Du Zhong, it had already been cleaned, filled with a basin of warm water, and Du Zhong immediately washed his face and hands.

When he left, he was a smelly old man who was about to rot, but now he came back as a young man in his twenties. Naturally, no one recognized him, so he took off the disguise on his face.

About the time Gu Qingli returned to this place, he realized that his relationship with Eucommia had returned to the simplest relationship between master and apprentice. The door stood there, unconsciously showing some caution in his movements.

After circling around the room twice, Du Zhong lay on his back on the couch, and let out a long breath.

Gu Qingli looked at him in silence for a moment before asking: "Master likes this place very much?"

"That's right." Du Zhong closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his forehead. "I actually like to live a more stable life. I have been living here before, and now that I am back, I feel somewhat at ease."

Gu Qingli paused for a moment when he heard the words, then tilted his head slightly: "Master, are you going to stay here?"

Du Zhong felt that he had had enough of lying down, so he sat up with his waist: "If possible, I still hope to stay here, but this kind of thing is not something I can decide, I still have to see it."

Gu Qingli didn't speak, and only glanced at the side of his own room.

Du Zhong naturally noticed his gaze, and thought to himself: He was still unhappy because of others throwing away his things.

Du Zhong: "It is reasonable to say that you can become a teacher now. If we can stay here and you don't dislike it, it's okay to live in the same room as before."

"What do you mean by Master?"

Du Zhong didn't react a bit: "What?"

Gu Qingli just felt a little shy about his sentence "You can also become a teacher", but he also knew that he couldn't say anything more, so he didn't ask further, just shook his head slightly to indicate that it was nothing.

Du Zhong looked around again, then stood up and walked out: "Let's go, let's take a look."

This day, although the monks in the Tianxuan Sect, except for the most famous leaders of the latest generation, patrolled and worked step by step as usual, their minds were elsewhere, and they all went to Wan Jianfeng when they had free time. , I want to witness the demeanor of the proud son of heaven, if there is a chance, it is best to get acquainted with him.

The Xianmen Dabi began in the morning, and it was almost noon now, so they were naturally late, and they didn't see a few monks rushing along the way.

The two walked in the air, and thought it would be better to wait and see from a high place, but as soon as they arrived at the place, they felt that there was still Da Neng nearby. Consciousness is swept away.

Du Zhong was afraid of causing trouble, so he fell to the ground in a low-key manner to watch.

The crowd on the ground was somewhat crowded and chaotic, with a few cheers from time to time.

Du Zhong led Gu Qingli around, glanced casually, and saw that the disciples in the competition had some strength and their own methods, so he praised: "That's really good, new disciple."

Gu Qingli also swept around, and replied: "It's okay."

Du Zhong's eyes were on the stage, and he didn't pay much attention to his feet. When he turned a stick of incense, he suddenly felt hit by a few dwarfs who rushed over.

Du Zhong immediately lowered his head, and saw several children dressed in the costumes of handyman disciples.

He had previously snatched the clothes of his disciples when he went out, but now seeing some of his identities, the children looked up and down startled, and immediately bowed their heads and apologized crisply: "I'm sorry, senior, it's because I didn't have long eyes and didn't see the way clearly."

Du Zhong subconsciously reached out and touched the tops of their heads: "It's okay, you are also here to watch the battle?"

The child quickly glanced at him, and seeing that he was not angry, he responded, "Yes."

Although they are just a few untalented little handyman disciples, they must also have a dream of entering the immortal sect and becoming famous one day.

Du Zhong laughed and encouraged: "You should learn a lot from them on weekdays and practice hard. Go."

The faces of several children blushed, and they all responded: "Thank you, senior."

After saying that, he bowed decently, and ran away quickly.

Du Zhong heard them well, and paid more attention to them, so he listened to them shouting excitedly from a distance amidst the noise: "Senior Brother is about to start, Senior Brother is about to start! Hurry up!"

Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, turned slightly to look back, but those children had already run away.

Those few disciples looked like handyman disciples, but they came to watch the battle with their brothers who were closer to them.

The person who usually mixes with the handyman disciples but has the opportunity to compete with the elite leaders of the sect must be a remarkable person.

Du Zhong stretched out his hand and motioned for Gu Qingli to go in another direction, and then chased after those children.

Although those children ran away under the legs of adults due to their short stature, but the disciples on the stage knew which sect and which peak they were from just by looking at their outfits. It looks like a handyman disciple, it is really conspicuous.

Du Zhong looked around randomly, and after a while, he saw those children again, who were looking up from the table.

When monks fight, they naturally have to fight for their magical powers, and they can throw everything around in a hurry.

They are simply the latest generation of disciples, and other monks who have already graduated from the teacher are naturally not afraid, but if the young handyman disciples who are almost the same as ordinary people are hit, they will lose half their lives if they don't die.

When Du Zhong saw it, he immediately squeezed in and pulled a hand: "Don't stand so close, be careful not to be accidentally injured."

The children immediately backed away when they heard this, and whispered cautiously: "Thank you, senior."

Du Zhong nodded and smiled before looking at the person on the stage.

It was indeed a young man dressed in the uniform of an ordinary handyman disciple, holding a three-foot blue rapier, he seemed to be a swordsman, seeing his swordsmanship was amazing, and he was not inferior to the disciple in brocade clothes opposite him.

Du Zhong looked at it for a while, unconsciously showing some appreciation in his eyes, and patted the child on the shoulder: "Where are you disciples from?"

The child immediately said: "Tianxuan's."

"I know it belongs to Tianxuan." Du Zhong smiled, "I want to ask more specific questions, such as who is the teacher?"

"We are from the Lingcao Hall." The child replied, "There is no teacher."

Spiritual Herb Hall?That should have been seen.

But Eucommia has been away for ten years, and ten years is long enough for a teenager or child to be unrecognizable beyond recognition.

Du Zhong looked at it for a while, and still felt that the young man looked awkward, so he stopped entangled, and asked again: "No teacher? But the way I see him doesn't seem like a wild way that I figured out or learned from somewhere, but a bit like a wild way. Wan Jianfeng's orthodox sword repair."

A few children couldn't answer the question, probably they only knew that their senior brother was great, but they didn't know why and who taught him.

Gu Qingli also frowned and watched for a while, seeing that Du Zhong didn't speak anymore, he commented lightly: "The swordsmanship is good, it seems that he has worked hard on weekdays, and his attainments in swordsmanship are also quite deep, it's a pity that he is still in training. His talent is too average, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid that no matter how much effort you put in in the future, you won't achieve too much. I'm afraid it will be difficult to be of great use due to the innate deficiency in cultivation.

What he said was to the point.

However, just before he finished speaking, a woman called out, "Du..."

Du Zhong felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he looked along, and saw a rather pretty female monk from Chixiao Peak walking towards this side, with a string of silent bells pinned to her waist.

It turns out that this is a familiar person, this is Senior Sister Leng whom I haven't seen for many years, her voice and appearance are still the same as before, and she can be recognized at a glance.

Du Zhong smiled at him, Senior Sister Leng paused when she saw her footsteps, seemed to be stunned for a moment, then bit her lower lip: "Brother?"

Du Zhong also smiled and nodded, "Senior Sister Leng, don't come here without any problems."

Senior Sister Leng still had a cold face, she glanced at him as if she didn't want to look at him, she immediately looked away, walked to him but was still far away, and said in a cold and unfriendly tone: "Why are you back?" gone?"

Du Zhong felt that she was being sneered at by her, and felt that she didn't want to see him, so he hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to touch his nose: "Just... want to come back and have a look?"

Senior Sister Leng said indifferently, "Oh."

Du Zhong didn't dare to talk nonsense after she made such a fuss, and the three of them stood speechless.

After a while, Senior Sister Leng said again: "You have changed a lot these years. I was worried that you would die outside. I didn't expect another chance. Now you look the same as you did in your early years."

Du Zhong hesitated and said: "Well, thank you Senior Sister Leng for remembering, I won't die outside."

Senior Sister Leng didn't answer, and the two of them stopped talking after finishing this sentence.

In fact, if it was Gu Qingli's strange look of wanting to speak and shyness, Du Zhong could see that he was awkward after a long absence and he was different from what he remembered.

But even if Senior Sister Leng insisted on breaking every three words, and was a hundred times more awkward, he couldn't think of anything other than a faint feeling that he seemed to be unpopular.

Because in the eyes of Du Zhong, all girls are like this, their tone of voice is not fixed, and sometimes it suddenly becomes rich in meaning, completely confusing.

Besides, it is impossible for him to hook shoulders and backs, touch his head and pat his shoulders with a girl to almost explore each other's thoughts, and even have to think twice before speaking, so as to show that he is also a polite person.

Girls are too complicated to understand.

Senior Sister Leng stood beside Du Zhong not far or near, and left without saying goodbye or continuing to exchange greetings. Du Zhong looked at that serious cold face from the corner of her eye and got goosebumps on half of her body.

It wasn't until the competition on the stage was almost over that Senior Sister Leng bit her lip again, hesitated for a while and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, did you recognize it right away?"

Du Zhong: "Huh?"

"Your apprentice." Senior Sister Leng finally gave him a glance, raised her hand and waved to the young man who had just jumped off the stage and walked towards this side, "Fourteen, I just came to see him, I thought you were too. "

The young man had already won by relying on his superb swordsmanship, and now he has come close.

Du Zhong still remembered Shisi, the little apprentice he accepted casually back then, but left in a hurry, and was thrown to Tianxuan alone before he could even teach him anything.

Hearing this, Du Zhong immediately looked up and down the boy who was getting closer and closer.

This young man was almost on the same level as him, and ZDTC probably followed whoever he followed, and he also had a straight face.

I haven't seen him for ten years, and he has already opened his mouth, and he has grown into a handsome, tall, thin boy. He doesn't look a little silly and fleshy when he was a child.

The grown-up boy saw Du Zhong looking at himself without hesitation, so he looked him up and down, but he probably didn't recognize him, so he just nodded slightly as a signal, and then looked at Senior Sister Leng: "Senior Leng."

Senior Sister Leng was as distant from Shisi as she was from Du Zhong. When she saw him coming, she immediately stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, and gave a rare smile: "You did really well just now."

Fourteen was praised with a flattered and indifferent look: "Thank you, senior."

Du Zhong still stared at Fourteen in disbelief. When he casually accepted him as his apprentice, he knew how bad this kid was.

Not only is the talent for cultivation poor, but even the skeleton is weak and not good at martial arts.He is a person who has been busy all his life, and Du Zhong didn't intend for him to achieve anything.

But he didn't expect this kid to be able to compete with the leaders of the sect today. It's unimaginable how much he had to pay in the past ten years to get to where he is today.

Seeing that Eucommia was still looking at him, Shisi felt a little unhappy, frowned slightly and looked at him again.

Senior Sister Leng saw it and said, "So you didn't recognize it. This is your master. It's really changed after ten years of not seeing each other. Take a closer look."

Fourteen was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately turned to look at Du Zhong.

Although Eucommia's appearance has changed, people who are familiar with him can still see that it is somewhat similar to ten years ago if they look closely. It's just that Shisi consciously stared at others as impolite, so he didn't look carefully just now.

Half of his stern-faced maturity disappeared at once: "Du...Master?"

Du Zhong laughed: "Yes."

At this time, the competition is over, and the surrounding people have almost dispersed. I don't want my own face in fourteen seconds. I happily come over and hug Du Zhong with a bear, and whisper: "Master is back? I've been here all these years. really miss you."

Although the fourteenth imitated the elders to be serious with a straight face, he suddenly turned into a tall child, hugging Eucommia happily and not letting go.

Du Zhong felt his enthusiasm and felt very relieved, so he raised his hand along Shisi's spine to comfort him.

Gu Qingli looked at Fourteen coldly, who looked like he had picked up a baby and hugged a bear, and silently did not speak.

In the past, with the title of "Master", only Gu Qingli could call Du Zhong, but now there is another small handyman.

At this time, another serious voice said coldly: "What's the matter with pulling and pulling? Come down."

Fourteen immediately let go of Eucommia, restrained the joy on his face: "Senior Qingyi."

Du Zhong looked over, and it turned out that Qing Yi and Bai Chen came with several disciples.

Shisi probably learned his cold face not from Senior Sister Leng, but from Qing Yi, who is as cold as a board and a stone.

Qingyi didn't show any joy when he saw Du Zhong, he just frowned, "Huh?" and said, "Junior Brother?"

Du Zhong greeted the two with a smile: "Brother, don't come here without any problems."

Qing Yi nodded coldly in response, but Bai Chen next to him laughed lightly with Du Zhong, closed the folding fan with a "snap", turned his wrist and held the fan, and quickly stabbed Du Zhong.

Du Zhong immediately pushed Fourteen to the side, and pinched Bai Chen's folding fan with a light pinch.

Seeing this, Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, and immediately pulled back, Du Zhong cooperated with him and let go, Bai Chen waved his fan again to knock him on the head, but before he arrived, Du Zhong raised his hand to block it.

Bai Chen stopped probing, opened the folding fan again with a "crash", and shook it in front of his chest: "I haven't seen you for many years, brother, you have made great progress, now it seems that there is another chance, so brother is relieved. "

The two of them were just trying to find out if there was any point, and they didn't have any intention of overpowering the other. Bai Chen found out that Eucommia was no worse than himself, so he stopped.

"Thank you brother for remembering."

Bai Chen fanned her fan and asked with a smile, "When did you come back? Why didn't you come to me first."

Du Zhong: "I just came back, I haven't had time to find my senior brother yet."

Du Zhong has a good impression of Bai Chen, although he doesn't usually show it, but when he was down and useless but still being targeted by others, the other party blindly protected him, this kind of love is really touching.

Du Zhong thought about what happened before, so he restrained his smile a little: "I used to drag senior brother blindly, and now I come back to hinder senior brother, it really shouldn't be. Did senior brother get embarrassed because of me before?"

Bai Chen immediately smiled and said: "No, no, no one dares to make things difficult for me. If you want to come back, just come back. Now that the limelight is over, no one will insist on holding you back. Senior brother is also happy when you come back."

Qing Yi glanced at Du Zhong, he didn't seem to have much interest in the appearance of Du Zhong, he was not as enthusiastic as Bai Chen, and said indifferently: "I'm here to pick up your apprentice to draw lots."

Du Zhong hasn't seen them for many years, in fact, there is a little bit of estrangement and anxiety in his heart, seeing Bai Chen's enthusiasm now makes him feel much better, but seeing Qing Yi's stony face is still quite timid, he immediately said to Shi Shi: "Go quickly .”

Shisi was actually very reserved in front of Qingyi, he nodded immediately when he heard the words, and left with Qingyi after saying goodbye to Du Zhong.

Bai Chen didn't want to leave with them, but insisted on staying and chatting with Du Zhong, so without exchanging a few words, he said, "Long time no see, why don't you tell me about your experiences over the years?"

Talking about opportunities between monks is actually quite offensive, but Du Zhong also felt that he and Bai Chen were not so particular, so he picked some experiences and told them to each other.

After hearing this, Bai Chen smacked his lips and commented, shaking his folding fan: "At that time, I thought that you would not be so smooth sailing, so you might as well be alive. When you left earlier, the sect leader originally wanted to punish us, but was... A powerful man, stop him. He doesn't want to kill you all, but wants to let you live. Not only did he not punish us, but even after a monk chased you all the way and saw you crossing the sea with his own eyes, he handed over your soul imprint to us for custody , I look at it every day, and I feel at ease knowing that you are still alive."

Bai Chen has nothing to say about how kind he is to his junior brother, and Du Zhong is also a little moved: "It's really hard work, senior brother."

Bai Chen smiled, and then turned to look at Gu Qingli: "Nephew Gu is even more handsome after a long time."

However, Gu Qingli didn't have a good impression of Bai Chen, so he just gave a slight nod and didn't compliment him.

Bai Chen didn't care, and after greeting Gu Qingli, he stopped talking and turned back to talk to Du Zhong.

He casually talked about his experiences over the years, and it was only then that Du Zhong knew that the former Xiao Peak Master to whom he belonged had passed away. Now he has officially become the Master of the First Peak, but because he has gradually figured out the way, he is not as busy as before.

After they chatted with each other, Fourteen was ready to fight his opponent in the next round.

Several people also followed to watch the battle.

Bai Chen stared at Fourteen and narrowed his eyes slightly, then sighed: "It's not easy for this kid."

Since Shisi still called Du Zhong "Master" as soon as they met each other, Du Zhong knew that he had not been taken under by others in these years, and he had not found a second person who could protect him.

Du Zhong also knew that Bai Chen, a talented disciple like him, would not even look down on him. Du Zhong's nominal personal disciple was actually a personal nurse, and Bai Chen couldn't give him much face.

Du Zhong favored him for no reason back then and then suddenly abandoned him and left, which would only bring him more pressure.

Simply because he has made progress over the years, he can be considered to be able to stand out today, which is commendable.

Du Zhong then asked, "Sir brother must have taken care of him a lot these years, right?"

"Taking care?" Bai Chen shook his head with a smile, "I can't care about him, probably when he heard that Master Nephew Gu stole a teacher from Qing Yi, so he had the courage to ask Qing Yi. But it’s really amazing that he can achieve today, I have to say, Ah Zhong, you have a really good vision.”

In fact, Du Zhong felt that he wanted to say "thick-skinned" rather than "be brave".

A handyman student who has no talent at all and is not a good material for martial arts, from the very beginning, Bai Chen seems to have nothing to think highly of.

Suo Xingqing always has a stinky face when he looks at it, and he looks unhappy every day, but there is no difference after watching it for a long time, and no one can tell if he looks down on anyone.

Bai Chen said again: "Do you still remember Shen He? Chu Yufeng's eldest disciple."

This person is exactly the rival in love that Gu Qingli was completely unable to defeat when he was young in the original book "The Road to the Supreme Immortal", Shen He, Chu Yufeng's stinky disciple, had healed his injuries before, and had a few encounters with him.

Du Zhong said: "Naturally."

Bai Chen shook the folding fan again, before hesitatingly said: "After you left, none of us wanted to take care of that child, but this Shen He fell in love with him for some reason, and gave him a lot of help in private, quite In order to take care of him, Shen He's contribution is indispensable for his achievement now. Maybe you should thank him personally."

But although Du Zhong didn't have much communication with Shen He, Shen He felt a sense of stinky fart every time he raised his hands, moved his head, and knew what kind of guy it was without even talking. Du Zhong has always been unable to understand this Why would a woman like this kind of person.

It's really strange that this kind of person can actually look up to Fourteen.

Du Zhong then asked: "How can he like Fourteen? After all, he... um."

Bai Chen probably also felt deeply, understood what he didn't say, and couldn't help smiling: "Who knows. Maybe this nephew looks a little unkind, but he might actually be very kind."

Du Zhong also laughed.

Bai Chen didn't want to speak ill of others behind his back, so he stopped talking about Shen He, went to see Shisi again, and couldn't help sighing again: "Good posture. Ah Zhong, you always make me open Vision, I have always thought that this kind of disciple can only be a handyman disciple for a lifetime, but I don't want you to have a unique vision and pick out one that will open my eyes."
