Seeing the grandfather grabbing Tang Qing's ears like this, Bi Dongyuan and the others looked extremely unnatural. What kind of game did your grandfather play? After all, Tang Qing is the first person in the three ancient lands, a rare genius in the world. It would be fine if he had already joined the Shangqing sect, but he hasn't joined yet, so why are you always grabbing his ears casually? Isn't this a bit too…
Although Bi Dongyuan had a hundred reluctances in his heart towards the old grandfather's move, he never dared to say it in person. On the other hand, Tang Qing was embarrassed when his ears were grabbed, and he nodded repeatedly, thinking about the meaning of the old grandfather's words.
The old grandfather taught him the same way as a child, he scolded him head and face, and then sat back with a grunt.
"What are you looking at? Do you have any objections?" 311 Tang Qing has never been able to figure out whether the grandfather recognized his identity. Come, shook his head immediately, and responded respectfully, "What the old grandfather taught is that the boy dare not refuse."
At this time, the old suzerain finally spoke and said, "Tang Qing, do you really want to join our Shangqing sect?"
"Worshiping into the Shangqing sect is the boy's lifelong wish, and I hope the suzerain will fulfill it."
"With your current aptitude and achievements, I am afraid that no one in the Qing sect can be your master, so I can't do anything." The old suzerain said lightly, his voice was like his own, giving off an ethereal feeling. Feel.
It's just that as soon as the words fell, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shocked Bi Dongyuan and others.
The old suzerain actually... actually rejected Tang Qing
Tang Qing was also taken aback, and was about to speak. But Bi Dongyuan stood up and said, "Sovereign, our sect also has an elder who preaches the practice, he can definitely serve as Tang Qing's master."
"oh?"
"Lu Tianya, Elder Lu!"
Hearing about Lu Tianya, Tang Qing's expression changed slightly, and his heart was complicated. The other elders also stood up and agreed with Bi Dongyuan's words. Lu Tianya is a well-known senior expert in the sanctuary, and his knowledge is profound. Almost everything can be understood, but two disciples, one Tang Wushang, failed to cross the tribulation. A Gu Ranyan fell into the way of demons again, which made Lu Tianya disheartened, and since then retired to seclusion, no longer interfering in anything in the sect.
Bi Dongyuan and the others couldn't bear to give up such an excellent disciple as Tang Qing, so they carried Lu Tianya out.
"Elder Lu is quite capable, but...he has long since given up the position of an elder who imparts his skills, and he has also said in his own words that he will not accept any disciples in his lifetime. I'm afraid there is little hope!"
"Sovereign, let me try it later, maybe Elder Lu will change his mind?"
Bi Dongyuan and others persuaded him one after another, and finally the old suzerain nodded and said, "Alright, you guys take Tang Qing to the back mountain to meet Elder Lu."
heard the words. A stone hanging in Bi Dongyuan's and others' hearts finally landed, and they took Tang Qing to the back mountain immediately. After they left, a sunspot in the hand of the old suzerain landed on the chessboard. He shook his head and showed a wry smile. He said, "Grandpa, aren't you worried about being spotted by him when you treated him like that just now? His brain is not so easy to use."
"Even if he sees it, what can he do?" The old grandfather sat on the stone bench, crossed his legs, fiddled with his feet, squinted, and said, "This is his heart knot, and he will pretend to be when he sees it." I don't know."
"Oh, it's our fault. It's too much pressure on this child."
"Although you have made mistakes, you also have merit. If you hadn't regarded him as the hope of Shang Qingzong back then, the child's heart complex might have turned into a complex. This thing is even more terrifying."
"Hehe, good fortune tricks people!" The old suzerain shook his head and sighed. 311 "Hungry, do you think Kid Lu will agree to him?"
"No." The old suzerain replied very simply, "The Supreme Tribulation failed, and Ran Yan fell into the evil way, which made my brother blame himself." After a pause, he said, "His heart is dead, I'm afraid the big Luo Jinxian is not even interested in reincarnating."
"If Kid Lu doesn't agree, what are you going to do?"
"Let's do whatever it takes."
"Tsk tsk..." the old grandfather pouted and smiled strangely, "You have understood a lot this time in retreat."
"Grandpa praised it absurdly. Regarding the matter of good fortune, I am really not one ten thousandth as good as my grandfather."
"Oh, this flattery." The grandfather stood up, laughed loudly, and said, "Come on, the ancestor is a little sleepy, and it's time for him to sleep peacefully."
"Grandfather wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" The grandfather who was about to leave immediately stopped when he heard the voice.
"I hope my grandfather can give me some pointers on the matter of Tang boy."
"Didn't you explain it just now?"
"Grandfather, don't make fun of the younger generation. Boy Tang belongs to an existence other than good fortune. The younger generation is incompetent. I really don't know."
"Oh, you are quite honest." The grandfather poured all the wine in the gourd into his mouth when he raised his head, and said, "That boy belongs to an existence other than good fortune, and even the grandfather can't understand it. The little brat can only stare blankly."
"I also ask the grandfather to give some pointers."
"About Boy Tang, I'll send you a few words if you're hungry, don't worry about it, don't ask, life and death are up to him."
After murmuring these words, after a long time, the old suzerain seemed to understand, and said in a dazed voice, "Thank you, old grandfather, for your guidance."
The old grandfather didn't respond, because he had disappeared without a trace.
…
Back Mountain is not a forbidden area of the Shang Qing Sect, but few people come here, because most of the buried seniors of the Shang Qing Sect are buried here. More than a hundred years ago, Lu Tianya resigned from the post of elder , living in seclusion in the back mountain and guarding the tomb. As for why this well-known and knowledgeable elder lived in seclusion in the back mountain, there are different opinions. Ran Yan fell into the way of demons, which made him very disappointed. Lu Tianya never explained the reason.
Along the way, Tang Qing lowered his head, trembling and nervous deep in his heart.
Lu Tianya was the person he respected the most in his life, and the person he felt the most sorry for.
I failed to cross the tribulation, and my junior sister fell into a demon again... Master, the old man must be very sad, right? 311 shook his head, Tang Qing didn't dare to continue thinking.
"Elder Lu is meditating in the house in front of him."
When Bi Dongyuan’s voice came, Tang Qing looked over and saw that there was indeed a house not far away, perhaps it could not be regarded as a house, it could only be regarded as an extremely simple wooden house, and the courtyard surrounded by a fence was very clean, even a There are no tables and chairs, only a broom for cleaning.
Bi Dongyuan saw that Tang Qing's expression was not right, and thought it was Tang Qing who was worried about being rejected by Lu Tianya, so he quickly comforted him, "Little friend Tang, don't worry, I will persuade Elder Lu to accept you as a disciple no matter what." There are quite a few elders here this time, forty or fifty people. It seems that they are also very concerned about this matter. The most important thing is that they really don't want to give up Tang Qing, a genius.
Many people are persuading, but they are just persuading. In fact, they themselves have no idea, because everyone knows how much the two incidents of Tang Wushang and Gu Ranyan have hit Lu Tianya. If you think about it carefully, if The two disciples I accepted, and both of them are blatant geniuses, the last one failed to cross the catastrophe, and the other fell into a demon. This kind of shock is not something that people can understand. disciple.
Now Bi Dongyuan and others only hope that Lu Tianya can put the overall situation first and consider it for Shang Qingzong. Their expectations are their expectations. They all know that Lu Tianya has always been a man of one word.
When he finally came to the courtyard, Bi Dongyuan knocked on the door and called Elder Lu.
No one responded.
Bi Dongyuan was about to knock on the door, but at this moment, an extremely vicissitudes of voice came from inside.
"Everyone, please go back."
This sound is like the bell from an ancient clock, as long as it is old, as if it is old, it is transmitted to the ears, making people feel like a hundred years have passed.
This is... the voice of Master.
Tang Qing will never forget that when the voice came, his heart trembled violently, and the guilt he had suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment, even his eyes were red and moist, and he wished he could kneel on the ground and cry loudly, but in the end he couldn't bear it. He stopped, lowered his head, and tried his best to calm down his unstoppable heart.
Bi Dongyuan and the others looked at each other and were about to speak when the old voice came again, "I have already said that I, Lu Tianya, will never accept a third disciple in my life."
Obviously, Lu Tianya already knew about this matter.
Even though they had already expected this result, when Lu Tianya really refused, Bi Dongyuan and the others felt a little unacceptable, and hurriedly persuaded Tang Qing, telling all the advantages of Tang Qing's qualifications, achievements, etc., but, no However, no matter how much they persuaded, Lu Tianya remained silent, and then Bi Dongyuan and others persuaded him to put the overall situation first, and for the sake of Shang Qingzong. various benefits etc.
Silent, always silent.
Bi Dongyuan and the others paced back and forth like ants on a hot pot, but at this moment, Tang Qing knelt down on the ground with a plop, and he didn't speak, because thousands of words were spent on this knee.
Bi Dongyuan and the others tried their best to persuade each of them for several hours, but Lu Tianya still didn't speak. If it wasn't because of Lu Tianya's seniority and prestige, they even had the urge to scold her, and after persuading them for a while, Lu Tianya still didn't speak. , Bi Dongyuan and others thought about taking Tang Qing back to appease them first, and then invite the old suzerain tomorrow.
"Seniors, go back first."
What do you mean we should go back first? Bi Dongyuan and the others couldn't understand for a while, but Tang Qing's next sentence made them deeply shocked.
"In my lifetime, if I can't worship Elder Lu as my teacher, I would like to kneel down until the sea dries up, until the stone rots, until the end of the world!"! ! !
