Legend of Douluo: Qingyun

Chapter 4: Apprenticeship

"Uncle Zhang!"

As soon as Yuan Wentian entered the courtyard of Zhang Xiaofan's house, he saw Zhang Xiaofan tending vegetables in the yard, and he quickly came forward to say hello.

Zhang Xiaofan's home was originally located in a remote location. Behind the bamboo house was an uneven slope. No one paid attention to it for many years, allowing wild bamboos and grass to grow freely.

However, after Zhang Xiaofan and his wife came to the village, it has been newly opened into a small vegetable garden several feet square along the slope with a total of three floors. On the first floor, there are several kinds of vegetables and some fruits and gourds.The second layer is similar, but there are more peppers, sweet potatoes and other crops.The third floor at the bottom is mostly filled with various fruit trees, which look lush and green, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits are growing happily.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was standing in the vegetable garden, looked up, smiled, and said, "Xiaotian, are you here to eat and drink again?"

Zhang Xiaofan took the two fresh fish and touched Yuan Wentian's head, "Tell your father next time that you don't need to bring any more fish."

Yuan Wentian chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhang, I have good news for you. I have awakened the third level of innate soul power!"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Congratulations then, come in and take a seat first."

Yuan Wentian couldn't help pouting and said, "Uncle Zhang, your reaction is too bland!"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly, walked to the stove, and began to prepare meals skillfully.

"I know how to make a fire! I'll make a fire!" Yuan Wentian was too embarrassed to just wait for food, so he took the initiative to make a fire.

Yuan Wentian has loved making fires since he was a child.Watching the wood branches in the fire being burned to ashes by the flames, staring at the beating flames in a daze, the firelight reflected in the eyes, you will feel particularly calm in your heart.

Probably all the worries were burned to ashes together.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan who was standing beside the stove suddenly said calmly: "You will soon be studying at the Junior Soul Master Academy in Soto City, right?"

Yuan Wentian was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, in three months, I will go to Soto Junior Soul Master Academy to study."

Zhang Xiaofan did not look back, and the movements of his hands showed no sign of stopping. He only said: "It is an opportunity for you to become a soul master. If you practice harder in the future, you will not suffer."

Yuan Wentian threw some dried bamboo slices into the stove and said, "Yes."

Zhang Xiaofan took a large bowl, then opened the lid of the pot, used a large spoon to scoop up the stewed bones in the iron pot, then put water in the pot, lowered the flame, and after completing this series of actions very skillfully, he said : "Your innate soul power is not very high, and your future achievements will be limited. You know this well, right?"

For some reason, Yuan Wentian suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said decisively: "I know."

"The world of soul masters is actually not as beautiful as you imagine. Many people's original intentions change after they obtain power beyond the reach of ordinary people. Intrigues, intrigues, and even fights and killings are all the time, even if they are slightly different. Shen may lose his life. This road is not easy to follow, and you still have time to regret it now."

Although Yuan Wentian had already made up his mind countless times before, after hearing what he said in front of Zhang Xiaofan, Yuan Wentian's enthusiasm for the world of soul masters seemed to have diminished a lot.There was even a strong urge to give up becoming a soul master, but he still suppressed the urge, calmed down, and whispered: "Uncle Zhang, I have already thought about it."

Perhaps newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Although the future is uncertain, if he had to choose between an ordinary life and a glorious moment, Yuan Wentian would still prefer to choose the latter!

"is it?"

Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyebrows slightly and waved to the fire stick lying on the ground. The fire stick that was originally lying on the ground seemed to be held up by an invisible force, and then flew into Zhang Xiaofan's hand at an extremely fast speed.

After holding the fire stick, Yuan Wentian felt a fierce momentum suddenly emanate from Zhang Xiaofan, rushing through him like an overwhelming wave, almost making him unable to breathe, and he took a step back uncontrollably.

Yuan Wentian only felt that the Uncle Zhang in front of him seemed to have become strange, or that he had never really understood Uncle Zhang.

The next moment, the sudden momentum dissipated. Zhang Xiaofan put the fire stick into the stove and fiddled with it twice. The flames suddenly became much stronger.

Perhaps because of the light of the fire, when Yuan Wentian glanced at the fire stick, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be very thin red lines on the head and body of the stick, and there seemed to be a dark purple star on the head of the stick. of round beads.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't look back, he was still looking at the blazing fire on the stove in front of him. After a while, he turned back and said with a smile: "Since you plan to risk your life, then I, as an uncle, have to teach you something." Only the ability to risk one's life and save one's life is enough."

Yuan Wentian was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.

He knew that Uncle Zhang was planning to teach him his skills!

Until just now, the most powerful person he had ever seen was Master Li Si, who awakened the martial spirit for him, but even Li Si could not compare with Zhang Xiaofan, who had just shown his strength.They are not on the same level as each other at all.

If Li Si is an ordinary small stream, then Zhang Xiaofan is the vast ocean, unfathomable!

Yuan Wentian immediately said cleverly: "Disciple Yuan Wentian pays homage to the master."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and scolded: "You kid can hit snakes and stick them on, so why not kneel down and kowtow!"

Yuan Wentian immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed nine times.

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and helped Yuan Wentian up and said: "From now on, you will be my ninth generation disciple of Dazhu Peak!"

Just when Yuan Wentian was thinking about what kind of sect Dazhu Peak was, Zhang Xiaofan had already given instructions: "In three months, you will go to Soto Junior Soul Master Academy to study. Time is tight. In these three months, you You must come to me every day. How much you can learn depends on your understanding. However, no one can know about you coming to me to learn skills except your parents."

Yuan Wentian couldn't help but wonder: "Master, haven't I been studying with you? Why do you say time is urgent?"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said: "My cultivation method is different from that of your soul masters. What I teach you is another cultivation method, and you still need to go to the soul master academy to learn the knowledge about soul masters. But now..."

Zhang Xiaofan took out a piece of ginger and said, "Come here and help me peel the ginger first."

Yuan Wentian: "..."

Looking at Yuan Wentian digging for ginger, Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly and began to handle the two black fish that Yuan Wentian brought over.

The fish produced by Yingri Lake are particularly delicious, and Zhang Xiaofan planned to use the two black fish brought by Yuan Wentian to make pickled fish.Snakehead fish has very few spines, and apart from the big bones, it is almost all meat. It is most suitable for making fish fillets.

Zhang Xiaofan disemboweled the two snakeheaded fish, cleaned them, and cut off the blackfish meat completely. Then he sliced ​​the two pieces of fish skin down, sliced ​​off some of the big fish belly bones, and finally slanted the knife 45 The two large pieces of meat were sliced ​​into thin fish fillets at a certain angle.

Yuan Wentian curiously picked up a piece of fish meat and said in surprise: "It's so thin! Master, your sword skills are so powerful!"

"If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled, washed some sauerkraut, and went to the vegetable garden to pick some peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, which will be used to make sauerkraut fish later.

The aroma is rising, the movements are fast, the pots and pans are pinging, and under Yuan Wentian's confused and surprised eyes, Zhang Xiaofan is cooking at a dizzying speed, one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the food changes like magic. Three or four plates of delicious and tempting dishes were served. Each ingredient was made of natural and simple materials. With a little seasoning, it had a natural and uncarved taste that made people salivate involuntarily.

Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "The time has come, go and ask your wife to come back for dinner."

"Oh!"

Yuan Wentian agreed, ran out of the house and called Lu Xueqi to come back for dinner.

The joyful lunch began, and only after Lu Xueqi came back to take her seat did Yuan Wentian dare to take down his chopsticks.

Yuan Wentian picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks. The fish was thin and tender, and there was a burst of fresh fragrance in his mouth. The fish was firm and elastic. After one bite, he felt an explosion of satisfaction. Every taste bud on his tongue jumped for joy!

Seeing Yuan Wentian eating happily, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi looked at each other and smiled, as if meeting such a child in such a place was the luckiest thing for them to unexpectedly come to this continent.

This lunch was uneventful and the atmosphere was peaceful. Yuan Wentian was more like a little pistachio and talked about many interesting things in the past few days.

The lives of every ordinary person are actually similar, but there are always people who love life and can find interesting things in their daily lives.

After the meal, Yuan Wentian helped Zhang Xiaofan clear the table and wash the rice bowl. Zhang Xiaofan looked at it and smiled lightly.

Looking at the brand new kitchen, Zhang Xiaofan stretched out slowly and said, "It's already noon, you should go back. Remember to come over tomorrow at [-] o'clock."

Yuan Wentian agreed and ran back home with a smile.

Yuan Qingfeng and his wife had just finished their meal. When they saw their son coming back, they laughed and scolded: "You bastard is finally back. Did you enjoy your meal at your Uncle Zhang's house today?"

"Happy! Uncle Zhang even accepted me as his apprentice!"

Yuan Qingfeng and his wife Li Shuhua looked at each other and asked, "Xiaofan has accepted you as his disciple? What's going on?"

Yuan Wentian told his parents everything that happened at Zhang Xiaofan's house today.

Yuan Qingfeng couldn't help but raised his head slightly, and said to himself with a horrified expression: "Although I had already guessed that the origins of Xiaofan and his wife might not be simple, I really didn't expect that he was actually a hidden master. Being able to meet him Such a strange person is also your creation, Tian'er, tomorrow you go to study with your Uncle Zhang, remember to work hard, your mother and I will fully support you."

Yuan Qingfeng looked at his son, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, and patted his shoulder gently.

Yuan Wentian looked at his father, nodded slightly and said, "I will!"
