After the transaction was completed and what he wanted was obtained, Ye Zan had no intention of staying here anymore, so he said goodbye to the leader and others of the Wu clan. As for cultivating a relationship with the Wu Clan and having a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Wu Clan, that is completely meaningless. At least Ye Zan has no such interest.
In fact, although the Wu tribe is another race besides the human race, it has long been stripped of its mystery after living with the human race for so many years. At least to the ascetics, the Wu tribe is like some ethnic minorities in the human race. Although they may have some different customs, in the final analysis, they have "the same blue sky above their heads."
Therefore, here in Ye Zan, this Wu tribe, like the Lujiazhai before, is just an ordinary "customer" of Ye Zan. If it weren't for the purpose of selling goods that they can't sell, no salesman would be willing to be friends with customers.
Is there something wrong with Ye Zan’s products? The reason why he wants to "sell door to door" is just because customers have no normal way to buy, not because there is something wrong with the product and he cannot sell it. It is no exaggeration to say that if these tribes in the Great Wilderness Territory could freely and conveniently purchase Thousand Miles of Gods and firearms from Ye Zan, I am afraid that Ye Zan's inventory would have been emptied long ago.
The reason why Ye Zan wanted to do door-to-door sales was because it was difficult for those tribes to travel long distances safely in the wilderness before the Thousand Miles Legend. In fact, this sales promotion cannot be said to be sales. It may be more appropriate to say it is door-to-door delivery, and there is no risk of return without reason.
Seeing that Ye Zan was about to leave, the Wu clan leader politely offered a few words to persuade him to stay. Then seeing that Ye Zan insisted on leaving, he finally seemed to make up his mind and said, "Fellow Taoist Wuji, you are busy with things and don't want to be here." I can understand why I have to stay so long. However, since my friend is determined to leave, I have a merciless request. After thinking about it, I decided to say it. I wonder if you can delay it for a while? "
Seeing the appearance of the leader of the Wu Clan, Ye Zan couldn't help but feel a little curious, and said with a smile: "The leader's words are serious, if you have anything to do, just talk about it! After all, with this transaction, you and I are no longer strangers. We will definitely cooperate in the future.”
"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute!" After the leader of the Wu tribe finished speaking, he waved his hand to the side. An elder beside him stood up and left the tent, and soon brought a child from the Wu tribe over.
The appearance of this Wu Clan child is not that extraordinary. He is neither handsome nor repulsive, he just looks ordinary and ordinary. However, compared to other Witch Clan children that Ye Zan has seen in the tribe, this Witch Clan child is a little special. The special thing is that he is exceptionally short and thin.
In fact, if placed among the children of the human race, the body of this child of the witch race might be relatively strong. However, it is different in the Wu Clan. The physical fitness of the Wu Clan people, even if they do not train their physical bodies in particular, can definitely be said to be that their arms can run horses. Not only the men of the Wu tribe, but also the women and children are all tall and strong. The children are comparable to the adults of the human race, and the adults of the Wu tribe are even two meters tall.
Therefore, when he saw this child from the Wu clan for the first time, Ye Zan even thought that the other party was a human child adopted by the Wu clan.
However, just when Ye Zan was guessing like this, the leader of the Wu clan pulled the child in front of him and introduced: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, this son is the grandson of this old man. His surname is Wu and his name is Liao."
Ye Zan's eyes turned back and forth a few times on the child and the two-meter-tall leader of the Wu clan, and he said clearly insincerely: "Oh, it turns out that he is the grandson of the clan leader. He is indeed a young hero. He looks like a man with a bright future.”
Although polite words were often unintentional, looking at the pair of grandparents and grandchildren who looked relatively unnatural, Ye Zan really couldn't think of any better words to compliment them.
After hearing Ye Zan's words, the child turned his head to one side, and the leader of the Wu clan smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, don't embarrass yourself! I also know what my grandson looks like. , is a bit special among the people of our Wu clan. However, he is indeed a member of our Wu clan, and he has the blood of the Wu clan. However, for some reason, his physical condition is different from that of his fellow clan members, so he will inevitably be affected. Exclusion and teasing from some ignorant children.”
It seems a bit incredible that the grandson of a dignified tribe leader would be ostracized and teased by other children because of his appearance. However, the Wu clan is different from the human race after all, and has different concepts and methods in the cultivation and education of children. It can be said that the education of the next generation by the Wu clan is somewhat similar to the Spartans in the history of the technological world, only not so extreme, but there is definitely no pampering.
In addition, when it comes to disputes between children, even on the human side, some people believe that children should be left to resolve them themselves, with adults at best giving some suggestions or hints. Of course, this definitely does not include bullying. For such a bad thing as bullying, even if it can be blamed on the child's ignorance, the other parent should still be held accountable.
It's like if a dog bites a person, you can't bite him back. After all, it is a dog and you are a human, but its owner must be responsible for it.
In the world of technology, there are some loving animal rights activists who are best at solving all problems on dogs. You say that the community is full of dog shit, and he says that dogs are ignorant, so you can't blame the dog for this. You say that dogs attack and bite people, but he says that dogs are not sensible and it is your own fault if they bite you. They always habitually, or intentionally, exclude dog owners from the topic, because most of them are dog owners and cat slaves.
Some people may find it inappropriate to compare children with dogs, but for those caring people who call themselves "dog sons" and "cat daughters", this should not be considered offensive. In fact, scientific research shows that dogs are as smart as a four or five-year-old child, so it makes sense to put the two together.
Talking about children, the custom of the Wu clan is obviously that adults do not interfere with children's matters, which of course does not include things that are obviously too excessive. In short, it was just ostracism and teasing, and it did not involve serious personal injury. Even if he was the grandson of the patriarch, it would not be a big deal in the eyes of adults.
"What does the patriarch mean?" Ye Zan felt a little confused after hearing the words of the patriarch of the Wu clan. After all, he knew that his medical reputation was unlikely to spread to the wilderness. So, when the other party asked him to look at the child, apart from letting him check the child's body, did he have any other meaning
"Fellow Taoist Wuji, what I want to say is that if fellow Taoist doesn't dislike him, can I accept him as my disciple?" The leader of the Wu Clan said his request to Ye Zan in a straightforward manner.
"This..." Ye Zan was a little hesitant. After all, he already had an apprentice, and he really didn't expect to accept another one so soon.
In fact, from the Yuqing Sect, even though Mo Rushi and others didn't say anything, they were obviously not willing to let Ye Zan "recruit disciples". After all, Ye Zan's seniority is so high that even his disciples are much higher than Mo Ru and them. In other words, every time Ye Zan accepts another disciple, it is equivalent to finding an ancestor for Mo Rushi and the others.
When Ye Zan accepted Shi Lin as his disciple, Mo Rushi and others were worried about such a thing. Fortunately, Shi Lin unexpectedly did not enter the Yuqing Sect quickly. Later, Ye Zan came out of the underworld and officially brought Shilin into the Yuqing Sect, and also lived in the war fortress. In this way, Shi Lin would not meet Mo Rushi and others most of the time, and both parties would feel less uncomfortable.
But even if they don't meet often, Shi Lin's seniority is still there, so when they think of it, they may still feel a little strange in their hearts. If Ye Zan takes on another apprentice, the feeling they feel will naturally double, which means he will feel even more uncomfortable.
Of course, Ye Zan didn't have a strong desire to accept a disciple, so he considered their feelings so much. If he really wanted to accept a disciple, just like he did with Shi Lin, he wouldn't care so much about them. Anyway, if you feel uncomfortable meeting each other, then meet less often or even not at all. You don’t have to hang out together all day long.
So, since there is no strong will to accept disciples, why not directly reject the request of the Wu Clan leader, but appear to be a little hesitant? Ye Zan's hesitation stemmed from the child's identity on the one hand, and the favor he just owed the other party on the other hand, which was still a bit shameful.
Judging from Wu Liao's identity as a child, the other party was the grandson of the clan leader, and he didn't seem to be a dispensable existence. Then, when the other party becomes Ye Zan's disciple, the relationship between Ye Zan and this tribe is equivalent to skipping the stage of cultivating feelings. Although the Yuqing Sect now has so many allies, it may not be able to use this tribe for anything, but there is a saying that "more friends means more roads, and more friends make it easier to travel", which is not a bad thing.
In addition, Wu Liao has the blood of the Wu clan, which should also be helpful to Ye Zan in studying the Wu clan's body refining method and the method of making bone tools. Although it was impossible for him to slice up this little guy and study it, he could still do it legitimately by drawing some blood for a test.
Then speaking of favors, Ye Zan wanted to see those things from the Wu clan before, but the other party directly took out the stone tablet recording the inheritance. Although the other party took out the slate so happily because he knew that Ye Zan could not learn anything, Ye Zan had to accept the favor. This favor, whether it was big or small, was at least enough to make Ye Zan hesitate in accepting a disciple.
"Clan leader, you should also know that I am a cultivator. I am afraid that I can't teach your grandson anything about the Wu Clan's cultivation methods." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, and decided to decline the try first, which was considered as letting the other party know. Help yourself make up your mind.
Of course, Ye Zan's excuse was not nonsense. After all, the master was the guide. The two sides were walking on different paths from the beginning, so why did they help the disciple to lead the way. Moreover, the Wu clan cannot practice Taoism. This is a fact that has been verified by countless predecessors for tens of thousands of years. There is no way for him to force this apprentice to follow his own path.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, he has learned all the body-refining methods of our witch clan, and he will not embarrass fellow daoist in this aspect. What's more, fellow daoist has also seen our clan's inheritance slate before, and he must be familiar with it. He also has some insights into the method of body refining, and he can still give him some advice." The leader of the Wu Clan was not polite at all, and immediately transferred his previous favor.
"This... Is the patriarch really willing to let me leave with you? You know, I am from the Shenhua Realm. This time I just came to do some business with the tribes and will leave this world soon. By that time, your order will If Sun is my disciple, he will definitely go to the Shenhua Realm with me." Ye Zan brought up the family relationship again, hoping that the other party would change his mind.
However, although family affection is difficult to let go, isn't the elder's affection for the younger generation just to enable the younger generation to have a better life? Therefore, regardless of whether there is really a "relative of another generation", the leader of the Wu clan did not show the slightest bit of reluctance and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, what you said is ridiculous, not to mention that good men have ambitions in all directions, just simply follow Considering the environment, it would be a good thing for everyone if this kid could follow his fellow Taoist and leave this dangerous wilderness."
Yes, it is a good thing for your grandparents and grandchildren, and it can also be considered a good thing for me...! Hearing this and thinking of this, Ye Zan accepted his fate. After all, in front of a child, he did not show any helplessness on his face. He nodded solemnly and said: "In this case, if you can get such a good disciple, I still have What’s so hard to say no to!”
"Haha, thank you so much, fellow Taoist!" The leader of the Wu clan laughed twice, raised his hands and thanked Ye Zan, then patted his grandson Wu Liao on the back of the head and said: "Come on, kid, why are you standing there stupidly? Come and pay homage to your master! Kowtow, kowtow, kowtow three times!”
Wu Liao was also obedient, and immediately knelt down in front of Ye Zan, kowtowed three times in a row, and shouted: "Disciple Wu Liao, pay homage to the master!"
Seeing that the other party was kowtowing, Ye Zan was too lazy to talk about the apprenticeship ceremony of a monk. He stretched out his hand to help Wu Liao up and said: "Get up! Since you worship me as your teacher, no matter how you master or disciple of the Wu clan , at least you have to follow our rules here. However, you don’t have to worry, I don’t have many rules here. You will know it in the future. Now, let me introduce you to this person. Take a seat, the eldest disciple, who is also your senior brother, is named Shi Minglin."
Wu Liao was also very clever, and he quickly raised his hands to Shi Lin and said: "Junior brother Wu Liao, pay your respects to senior brother!"
Although, judging from the introduction of the leader of the Wu clan, Wu Liao has been ostracized and teased by children of his own clan since he was a child due to physical reasons, but he has not developed a bitter and hateful character. Now, facing a stone forest with a similar physical condition to his own, he felt like he had found a similar person, and all he could see was the joy of a child.
