Zha Gong You Don’t Know Love [Quick Transmigration]

"Be careful!" Ji Wuchen subconsciously grabbed Xia Lang who was still in a daze, pulled him back three steps, and retreated to a safe place.As soon as Ji Wuchen landed, he heard a "bang"—the sword stove exploded to pieces!

Sparks flew everywhere with the splashing molten iron, but Xia Ran's gaze was still on the stove, and he didn't mean to avoid the molten iron at all.

A stream of molten iron splashed directly towards Xia Ran's eyes, but Xia Lang had no intention of hiding at all, so Ji Wuchen had to block it with his hands in a hurry, blocking Xia Ran's face, and the hot molten iron hit Ji Wuchen. There was a red mark on Wuchen's hand.

"Are you stupid? Why don't you hide?" Xia Lang stood still in place as if in a daze, and Ji Wuchen's voice couldn't help but tinged with hatred.

Xia Lang bit his lips, and slowly pulled Ji Wuchen's hand away from his eyes, but his eyes were still looking in the direction of the iron furnace.

"Master... the sword is gone..."

Ji Wuchen's heartbeat just felt like it missed a beat.

Xia Lang looked so at a loss, although his eyes were still fixed on the direction of the sword furnace, they were unfocused, like a child who was at a loss and couldn't find a home.

Xia Lang tightly held Ji Wuchen's hand, his fingers were icy cold, brushing over Ji Wuchen's scalded place by molten iron.

A sword can be said to be the most important thing a master gives to an apprentice, and it can also be said to be a symbolic token of the master and apprentice.

"The Frost Sword is gone too..." The Frost Sword was the sword that Ji Wuchen gave Xia Lang to practice when he was young, but it had been lost in the catastrophe and was never seen again.

"Can I still...call you Master?"

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the spring when Xia Lang was seven years old, Ji Wuchen officially announced that he would accept Xia Lang as his closed disciple, and held an apprentice acceptance ceremony.

Naturally, the acceptance ceremony of the head of the Shangqing School cannot be casual.

Although Ji Wuchen has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, many people from other sects were invited to watch the apprenticeship ceremony.

The Shangqing sect has a unique ceremony for accepting apprentices, which requires the apprentices to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the peak step by step without relying on internal strength, and then bow their heads at the feet of the master to test their spiritual roots, which is considered a successful apprenticeship.

The spiritual root of a cultivator generally begins to differentiate at the age of seven, and this is also a critical moment for judging a child's talent.

Of course, a single spiritual root is the best spiritual root, the more spiritual roots, the worse the child's aptitude.

But Ji Wuchen is not worried about Xia Lang's spiritual root at all. After all, his root bone is already a rare talent in the sky, and it must be a single spiritual root if nothing else happens.

What Ji Wuchen is worried about is the part of Xia Lang's apprenticeship.

This part of the road must be completed independently, if it cannot be completed, it will be regarded as giving up halfway, and this person will be exiled from the Shangqing School, and there will never be a place to turn back.

The peaks of each elder vary in height, but the tallest must be Ji Wuchen's Shangqing Peak, which has a full 99 steps.

Over the years, there have been very few people who have been favored by the head of the Shangqing School and have the opportunity to take this path of apprenticeship, and among them, there are only a handful of successful ones.

"So, tomorrow I have to walk all the steps alone before I can see the master?" On the night before the apprenticeship ceremony, Xia Lang nestled in Ji Wuchen's arms while playing with Ji Wuchen's sword Sui, while listening to Ji Wuchen's explanation of what to do at the apprentice acceptance ceremony tomorrow, said, "Oh my God! Shangqing Peak is so high! I can't finish walking!"

"Don't mess around," Ji Wuchen glanced at Jiansui, who was messed up by Xia Lang, and said, but he didn't stop Xia Lang from continuing to play: "If you can't finish it, then Master It is no longer your master."

Xia Lang paused when he was playing with Ji Wuchen's Jiansui, Ji Wuchen saw Xia Lang's expression darkened, and then suddenly realized that what he said seemed a bit serious.

After all, he is only a seven-year-old child...

He regretted a little, but it was hard to stop. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Xia Ran spoke first, and his expression had returned to the same as before: "If this is the case, then I will succeed! I will definitely not It will disappoint Master!"

"Because I said it! I will protect the master in the future! If you can't even do this! Then what use is there for me!" Xia Lang put down the sword spike, turned over to look at Ji Wuchen, and said seriously .

Ji Wuchen looked at Xia Lang's swearing look, and was suddenly speechless.

Ordinary disciples, before being accepted by the elders, have already practiced in the outer sect for several years, and have a certain foundation of internal strength. Even if they do not use internal strength, their physical fitness is different from ordinary people. .

But Xia Lang really has no internal strength foundation at all. Ji Wuchen taught him a few sets of external strength to strengthen his body, but he never taught him internal strength.

Ji Wuchen didn't want the messy exercises to ruin Xia Lang's inner foundation, and planned to choose the most suitable exercise for him after Xia Lang's spiritual root was settled, but it would be tantamount to increasing the difficulty of Xia Lang's apprenticeship.

Whether this kind of Xia Lang can walk the highest Shangqing Peak in the Shangqing School has made many people sweat at him. Of course, there are also many people who are cold-eyed and waiting for Xia Lang to fail.

After all, Sharon's luck has also been envied by many people, and there are countless jealous people.

Why is an orphan so valued by the head?Not to mention raising him personally, but now he has to be accepted as a personal disciple!

On the day of the teacher apprenticeship ceremony, Xia Lang happily took over the teacher apprentice uniform specially made for him, and made a face at Ji Wuchen: "Master! You just wait for me at the top of the mountain! I will come up soon! "

Ji Wuchen wanted to tell him a few words with a straight face, but seeing Xia Lang's heartless look, he couldn't help but loosen the corners of his mouth, and finally said nothing.

He believed that Sharon must be able to do it.

The ceremony of accepting disciples began at Maoshi, Ji Wuchen stood in the high hall, looked at Xia Lang's small body, and walked towards him step by step.

It was not the first time for Ji Wuchen to stand on Shangqing Peak, but it was the first time he felt that Shangqing Peak was so high.

He has excellent eyesight, and he can see that Xia Ran walked with ease at first, but soon his footsteps began to slowly become heavy.

By noon, Sharan hadn't even walked a third of the way up the steps.

Ji Wuchen frowned. Even though Xia Lang didn't have the foundation of internal strength, his daily food and diet were both spiritual food and spiritual plants. According to his prediction, Xia Lang shouldn't feel tired so early.

The apprenticeship ceremony requires the apprentice to succeed before sunset, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure.

But after half the time, Xia Lang hadn't completed a third of the journey, which made Ji Wuchen a little disappointed in him.

Did he really expect too much?

Time passed by, and Sharon was still walking forward, but the speed made people worry whether he could finish walking before sunset.

But to their surprise, after noon, Xia Lang actually speeded up silently. Although it was only a little bit, Ji Wuchen still noticed it.

The noon sun shone hotly on the jade steps, and Xia Ran's sweat dripped on it, and evaporated along the way.

When the sun had already begun to fall to the west, Sharon finally walked two-thirds of the way.

Nearly three thousand steps still awaited him.

Ji Wuchen stood on the top of the hill, watching Xia Lang walk towards him step by step.

He thought, if Sharon is unsuccessful, where should Sharan go?

And this kind of thought only stayed in his heart for a moment, and then disappeared.

--Sharan was raised by him himself, and he is also his only disciple. How could he fail like this?

Ji Wuchen believed in Xia Lang because he was his disciple.

In the end, it can be said that Sharan has become a combination of hands and feet, his knees are too heavy to lift, and even his spine hurts, but he still didn't give up and moved forward step by step.

By this time, the sun had begun to sink.

Everyone looked at the sun that was about to set, and began to whisper to each other.

They inferred that at this speed, it was almost impossible for Sharan to succeed.

Could it be that the sect leader's apprentice acceptance ceremony will end in failure in the end?

This is the disciple brought back by the head himself. It seems that the head has misjudged the wrong person this time.

It is less than an hour before the sun goes down, and now Sharan's remaining road, even if an inner sect disciple in the foundation period, may not be able to complete it before the sun goes down.

As Xia Lang approached the hall step by step, the gossip of everyone gradually fell into his ears.

Are they... criticizing Master?

Do they feel that they are not worthy of being Master's disciples?

He wanted to tell them loudly, no, no!In fact, it is because...

But when he opened his mouth, he could only make a broken sound, his throat was so dry and sore, sweat flowed down his cheeks into his mouth, Xia Ran even tasted the smell of blood, and felt his eyes blurred.

It's almost reaching the limit.

But there is still a long way to go.

Could it be... Are you going to give up like this?

Xia Ran forced himself to look up, stretched his neck with all his strength, and looked in the direction of the hall.

His eyes wandered around, and finally stopped at the highest point.

There, Ji Wuchen was looking at him.

Xia Lang felt suddenly full of strength all of a sudden, looked at the towering steps in front of him, gritted his teeth, and suddenly started to pull his legs and run!

He will definitely not let Master down!

For some reason, his body, which should have been so exhausted that it was difficult to lift his legs, suddenly became full of strength, and Xia Ran really started to run!

Among the people who gradually dispersed, some people saw this scene, and they were surprised. People turned their heads and saw this miraculous scene.

--The toddler, who was almost exhausted just now, started running!

One step...two steps...Sharan is getting closer and closer to the hall...

And at this time... the sun also began to sink slowly...

Everyone stopped in their tracks, wanting to see if a miracle would happen.

Ji Wuchen's eyes never left Xia Ran. He watched him go from staggering to staggering, then almost unable to walk, and met Xia Lang's gaze on him.

In Xia Lang's gaze, there is tenacity, admiration, and persistence...but he didn't give up.

He looked at Xia Ran, and suddenly started to run wildly, rushing up step by step at an almost impossible speed.

At the last moment when the sun was about to set, Sharon finally stepped on the 99th step, his legs softened.He fell at Ji Wuchen's feet.

"Master...I did it...so from now on...I can always call you Master...right?"

Ji Wuchen was about to answer, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

As Xia Ran fell to the ground, the shoes on his feet were also separated from Xia Ran's feet and scattered on the side, full of blood.

As for Xia Lang's feet that were exposed, Ji Wuchen saw two iron nails as thick as little fingers, deeply pierced into the soles of Xia Lang's feet, and the bones were visible.
