The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 33

"Just him?" Bai Chen looked at Du Zhong's underling, who was biting his lip nervously, a thin and cowardly child, and then glanced at the group of jealous children beside him, "Stop picking and picking?"

"No, just him." Du Zhong gently rubbed the child's head, "What's your name?"

The child looked up at him in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted yet: "I...my name is Fourteen."

"Yeah." Du Zhong nodded and smiled, signaling Bai Chen to come and see.

Bai Chen leaned over and pinched the little arm of the child, looked carefully and carefully, his aptitude was extremely poor, he was not suitable for cultivating immortals at all, compared to Gu Qingli, he was very different.

Although he didn't agree with Du Zhong's actions in his heart, he still didn't dare to refute. He bent down to look at Fourteen, and began to educate: "From today onwards, you will follow your Elder Du, be diligent, and he may call you if something happens." Come to me, do you know where I live?"

Fourteen immediately nodded vigorously.

Bai Chen gave a "hmm" and continued: "Have you seen your senior brother Gu's ability? As the second disciple, don't let your master down."

"I will work hard." Fourteen peeked at him, blushing, and said solemnly.

Du Zhong put his hand lightly on Fourteen's shoulders, and smiled at the other disciples: "You guys recognize him, this will be my personal transmission from now on."

He hugged Shishi affectionately and walked in front of all the disciples, firstly, so that the disciples would recognize Shishi in the future, and secondly, to frighten other disciples so that they would not bully him behind their backs.

Du Zhong also said something to encourage the disciples, telling them to work harder on weekdays, and telling them that although they are outer disciples, but as long as they work hard, there will always be a chance to stand out, so they all dispersed.

Du Zhong asked Shisi to bring a cup of tea from the house to respect him, and with a simple salute, he accepted this apprentice.

Fourteen tried his best to keep his expression calm, but his tightly pursed lips and flushed face had already exposed his inner excitement at this moment.He looked back and forth between Bai Chen and Du Zhong a few times, with a firm expression on his face: "I will definitely become as powerful as Senior Brother Gu!"

Children speak freely.Bai Chen couldn't hold back a chuckle, but stopped the urge to shake her head out of politeness.He thought to himself, this child is really naive, thinking that everything can be bought with hard work, and he doesn't understand the truth that everything is predestined at all.

When the aptitude is extremely poor, the scum will remain a scum for a lifetime, no matter how hard you try, you will still be a scum, and it is impossible to turn over.Bai Chen looked at Du Zhong who was holding Shisi in his arms, and thought to himself that only his younger brother could treat such a person as a treasure, it's really cute.

But he still said: "Well, work harder. You must also take care of your master, remember?"

Fourteen was affirmed by others for the first time and became even more excited.Du Zhong looked at him trembling with excitement and smiled: "But I'm not in a good condition today, so it may not be convenient for me to take you to register."

"You go into the house." Bai Chen immediately said, "I'll take him to register, so that the resources that inner disciples should get can be obtained earlier."

Du Zhong responded, and took out a wooden card from his sleeve to prove his identity and handed it to him: "That's troublesome brother."

Bai Chen took the wooden sign and told him to take a good rest and come to him if he had something to do, then took Fourteen to the main peak to register.

It's actually not far from Baichen's Xiaofeng back to the Lingcao Hall, but it has already consumed all of Du Zhong's strength, plus he stood outside for a long time, and now he feels even weaker.

He walked into his room tremblingly on crutches, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind, he felt drowsy and came up.

Although he only heard a few words from Shen He, Du Zhong was very clear about his current state, and he didn't have any thoughts of deceiving himself.

He knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to cultivate or use spells now, and it would be good if the loose and unstable golden core didn't explode.He was completely cut off from cultivating immortality, and could only live the rest of his life like a mortal, maybe even worse than a mortal.

Without the cultivation base bonus, he naturally needs sleep, and he is still drowsy from time to time.Du Zhong gave a hutch, turned over and fell asleep.

Probably because of his weakness, he slept so deeply that he didn't even dream.When he woke up stretching again, it was already dawn the next day.

Du Zhong felt that in addition to being weak, there was a slight tingling sensation in the joints.He looked around in a daze, and then shouted: "Qingli!"

No one answered.

what happened?Du Zhong yelled twice more before realizing that Gu Qingli had gone out, so he changed his name to his new apprentice: "Fourteen!"

He yelled several times in a row, but no one answered.

Well, none of them are there.Du Zhong secretly said in his heart, leaving him alone as a patient and helpless, making every day should not be done well, it is really good.

The tingling sensation in his joints made him reluctant to sit up, so he lay down and twisted a few times to try to relieve the pain, but it was of no use.

This kind of pain has not been experienced for many years, and it took a long time for Eucommia to react. This feeling is the special pain that I would have when I was young when I was short of calcium or when my knees caught cold.

I don't even want to get up.

Anyway, the elder is usually idle, so it's okay to lie on the bed for a whole day. He just lay there half asleep and half awake until noon, until his stomach growled, and the acid water coming back from his stomach completely made him unable to sleep.

So there's no food at all?That's great.

As if responding to his inner thoughts, the small footsteps of Dog Sisi sounded outside the door, like a child trotting.Not long after, there was a light knock on the door of his room, and Du Zhong shouted: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, revealing Fourteen's little head.He walked in with a food box, with a hint of panic on his face, and hurriedly defended: "Master, I'm sorry, I woke up early this morning and forgot that I was already your personal heir, so I ran to the Lingtian. Some uncle said that the master..."

He raised his head while talking, but suddenly stopped after seeing Du Zhong clearly, and the whole person was silent, and after a while he hesitated to call: "Master?"

This can be forgotten, I am afraid it is not a lack of thought.Du Zhong rubbed his forehead, waved his hand to signal him to put the food box on the table, and then asked again: "What's wrong with the head?"

"...a master uncle said that the master asked you to find him." Fourteen did not put down the food box, but leaned against the door and stared at Du Zhong for a moment before continuing, "Um, yours Face……"

Du Zhong took advantage of the situation and wiped his face, and immediately felt that something was wrong with his hands.His face did feel a little lackluster before, but it was by no means so severe.Now it feels like a layer of paper.

He woke up immediately, sat up and took out a mirror from his sleeve, held it in front of him for a picture, and was stunned.

Who is this man?Du Zhong watched for two seconds before realizing that the person in the mirror was himself. How many years has he been asleep?Or is this mirror actually a demon mirror?

If he used to look like a handsome uncle in his 40s and 50s with some good looks, then now he looks like a little old man who is almost [-] years old.

A sense of panic spread suddenly, gripping Eucommia's heart tightly, and he shook the bronze mirror and fell to the ground.How could this be?

No wonder the joints hurt when you get up in the morning. Isn’t it easy for people in their 50s to have these joint problems?

Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, Shisi was no longer so afraid of his sudden change.He went to the edge, picked up the mirror, handed it to Du Zhong, and asked, "Master, do you need me to call Uncle Bai?"

"En?" Du Zhong looked at Fourteen absent-mindedly, "You just said that the master called me, what's the matter?"

Fourteen stared at his face with wide eyes: "I said I have something to ask."

Calm down, panicking now won't solve any problems.Du Zhong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he felt much calmer.He rubbed his cold hands, and said to Shishi, "Bin my hair, and go see the head first."

Shisi was still half a child, and he couldn't understand what it meant to grow old suddenly. He only watched Du Zhong gradually become calm, and felt that his heart was also settled down, and he started jogging happily again.

He was probably still immersed in the joy and dream of suddenly becoming an inner disciple, trying his best to show himself, busy with his hands and feet, and quickly helped Du Zhong take care of everything.

Du Zhong didn't care about eating, he slapped the hem of his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the house. Fourteen followed closely behind him, and pointed out: "Masters and uncles are waiting over there."

Not far from the house stood three disciples with stern faces and belts and swords.Upon closer inspection, their feet did not touch the ground. Although they were very low-key, they were really walking in the air.

Du Zhong's fingers trembled slightly. This is probably not an ordinary disciple, but a core disciple around the head, who they don't usually see.

Seeing him coming out, the three disciples walked over without touching the ground, and said respectfully, "Elder Du of the Lingcao Hall? The head is welcome."
