Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

Chapter 31: Taking the Old Heavenly Master's Palm (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

The old Taoist priest lives in the courtyard.

Du Heng stopped outside the door and checked in at Lu Linglong's place. Then, to avoid getting stye, he quietly left and unknowingly wandered to the old Taoist priest's place.

I was hesitating whether to go in and chat with the old Taoist priest. After all, it is difficult for elderly people to fall asleep at night, and as a younger generation, one should always be filial.

"Now that you are here, why are you still standing outside? People who don't know me would think that I don't like the younger generation."

A vicissitudes of life and heavy voice came from inside the house, directly making a choice for the hesitant Du Heng.

Seeing this, Du Heng felt a little embarrassed. He looked around and tiptoed forward.

He opened half of the door and poked a head in, whereupon he saw the old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the bed with the list of candidates for the competition on his knees.

He smiled and said hello: "Old Heavenly Master, I am sorry to bother you!"

"Are you willing to come?"

"Hehe..." Du Heng scratched his head, too embarrassed to speak.

"It's been more than a month, right? Do you want to wait until my old bones are buried before coming back?"

When Du Heng heard this, he was almost frightened to death. It turned out that they were blaming him.

"How could that be possible? Old Heavenly Master, you are so introverted and pure, and your cultivation is so profound that I am afraid I will not live longer than you.

And you know that people in the outside world say that I learned the Golden Light Curse secretly, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to come to Longhu Mountain.”

"Then why are you here now?" the old Taoist asked calmly.

Du Heng was confused about this. He had no idea what the old man's attitude towards him was, so he answered honestly, "When I was carrying out a task for the company, I heard from Hu Jie that Quan Xing was going to cause trouble at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, so I thought of helping out and showing some support."

"You are such a cunning little fellow!" The old Taoist priest was amused but did not expose his little thoughts.

Seeing this, Du Heng secretly thought that this was a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the old Heavenly Master's good mood, he bowed his hands and apologized, "I have not entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but I have learned the Golden Light Mantra privately. Please make a decision, old Heavenly Master."

"To retreat in order to advance?" The old Taoist priest seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes fixed on him.

Du Heng suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't help but secretly groan: "Is this the weight of a Zhengtian Master?"

However, the old Taoist's next words almost made him run away on the spot.

"Do you know how the Tianshi Mansion deals with people who steal knowledge?" the old Tianshi asked seriously.

I wipe!
Isn't it a private school?
How come it turned into stealing knowledge after just one translation? Isn't this a very serious crime?

My little arms and legs can’t even handle it!
Also, I was just being polite just now, but I didn't expect that the old master would really not be polite to me.

Do you really want to hurt yourself?
After all, I am your cheap disciple!
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the old Heavenly Master spoke up, "For those who steal knowledge, the Heavenly Master Mansion will not harm their lives, but will only abolish their methods."

"Then, old Taoist priest, are you serious about this?" Du Heng hesitated and whispered tentatively.

"That's not true, so do you accept it?" The old Taoist priest said expressionlessly.

Depend on!
And ask yourself whether you accept it or not!

You are such a considerate person!

But do I have a choice? I'm afraid that if I say I don't accept it, you will slap me in the face.

"Then you have to be careful when you do it later, don't let any parts of my body become unusable."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist's wrinkles twitched, his expression relaxed a lot, and he asked meaningfully, "So calm?"

"You think too highly of me. There are only two reasons for my indifference. One is that I am forced by the situation. The other is that I have other means to protect myself after giving up the Golden Light Curse. Just like someone said, if you have enough food at home, you won't be worried."

"Haha, you are quite honest!" The old Taoist priest smiled kindly.

Then his expression became serious and he asked, "How long has Youyi been gone?" "He died when I was twelve years old, and it has been eight years now." Du Heng answered with a bow, not daring to hide anything.

"Eight years!" God sighed slightly. After all, he was his third disciple, but it was a pity that his personality was a bit contradictory.

As to why Liang Youyi left Tianshi Mansion, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it. After all, it was a bit shameful and would only add to the embarrassment.

After a long while, Du Heng asked in a low voice, "How do you know that my Golden Light Mantra was taught to me by Senior Daoist Ahem Youyi?"

"You won't even call me Master?"

"How dare I? Being able to call you Master is a blessing that I have earned in eight lifetimes. But Senior Yi has only taught me the skills and has not formally accepted me as a disciple. What if I take the liberty of claiming to be related to you and make you unhappy?"

"Why are there so many twisted ideas? You are really alike to Youyi. You both like to think too much and fall into self-contradiction." The old Taoist priest openly rebuked him but secretly loved him.

At this point, if Du Heng is still not sensible, he would be really immature.

He knelt down respectfully and said, "Master!"

Lu Linglong and her group: Damn, another one that doesn’t shake the green lotus.

"Hahaha, come here!" The old Taoist priest laughed heartily and waved for people to come over.

After Du Heng sat aside, he said cheerfully: "This Luotian Grand Ceremony has you and Chu Lan as two disciples, so it is quite lively.

I was quite happy when Master Jiekong said that my disciples were better than each other. But after meeting Chu Lan, the grandson of the big-eared thief this time, Lingyu seemed too stupid compared to him.

But now that I have a handsome disciple like you, I feel that it’s enough. After all, the big-eared thief couldn’t defeat me in any way.

"Chu Lan is a good kid in every way, except that he is too shameless. Didn't you youngsters say that he is a scoundrel?"

"puff!"

Hearing this, Du Heng could no longer hold back and laughed out loud in front of the old Taoist priest.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. Chu Lan was shameless, and the old Taoist priest was comparing himself with him. Isn't this saying that he was also...

Immediately, his face fell, "Master, are you praising me or insulting me?"

“Haha, of course I’m praising you!” The old Taoist priest also understood the loophole in his words, but as the head of a sect, how could he admit it in front of the juniors?

Then he changed the subject and said, "You want to know why I know your Golden Light Mantra is easy to teach. I will tell you now."

Got it!
This trick of changing the subject works great for everyone!
Listen carefully.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest pressed his palm on Du Heng's shoulder, and the latter almost fell to the ground.

He said unhappily, "There are only two people who left the Tianshi Mansion, one is Grandpa Chu Lan, and the other is You Yi. Didn't you learn it from You Yi? Could it be that you and Chu Lan are brothers, and you are also the grandson of the big-eared thief?"

Ouch!

I'm sooooooooooooooo!
If people were to tell others that he took a blow from the old Taoist priest, he would be able to brag about it for at least a year.

Without caring about boasting, he quickly denied it: "No, no, it's not!"

"That's possible. You and Chu Lan are quite similar. You both like to hide, just like that big-eared thief."

At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door, attracting the attention of the two.

"Master Wang Ye!" Du Heng exclaimed.

I really didn't expect to meet Wang Ye. Although I knew that he would come to see the old Taoist priest and help him to ward off disaster - to eliminate Zhuge Qing, I didn't know the specific night.

It's true that the dung beetles have sworn brotherhood - they just get together and stink!

bah bah bah!
It's fate!
