Chapter 1057: Favor Debt, Pay It Back Quickly
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The transaction has been done, and the things I want have been obtained. Ye Zan has no plans to stay here anymore. So he bid farewell to the patriarch of the Wu clan and others. As for cultivating relationships with the Wu people and gaining a deeper understanding of the history and humanities of the Wu people, that is meaningless at all, at least Ye Zan has no interest in that.
In fact, although the Wu Clan is another race besides the Human Clan, after living with the Human Clan for so many years, the veil of mystery has long been removed. At least for ascetics, the Wu people are like some ethnic minorities in the human race. Although they may have some different customs, they are "the same blue sky above their heads" in the final analysis.
Therefore, in Ye Zan's case, this Wu tribe, like the Lu family village before, is just an ordinary "customer" of himself. If it is not for the purpose of selling products that cannot be sold by oneself, no salesman would be willing to be friends with customers.
Are there any problems with Ye Zan's products? The reason why he wants to "door-to-door sales" is only because customers have no normal purchase channels, not because the products have problems and cannot be sold. It is no exaggeration to say that if these tribes in the Great Desolation Territory could freely and conveniently buy thousands of miles 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 sell at door-to-door was because it was difficult for those tribes to travel safely in the wilderness of the wilderness before there was a legend of thousands of miles. This sale, in fact, cannot be called a sale, it may be more appropriate to say that it is delivered to the door, and there is no risk of returning the product without reason.
Seeing that Ye Zan was about to leave, the patriarch of the Wu Clan first politely held back a few words, and then seeing that Ye Zan insisted on leaving, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, you are busy with work, so you don't want to be here. This old man can understand why you should stay longer. However, since Fellow Daoist insists on leaving, this old man has an unfeeling request. After much deliberation, I decided to say it. I wonder if you can delay for a while?"
Seeing the appearance of the Wu Clan patriarch, Ye Zan couldn't help being a little curious, and said with a smile: "The patriarch is serious, if there is anything, just talk about it! After all, with this transaction, you and I are no strangers. We will definitely cooperate in the future.”
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!" After the Wu Clan patriarch finished speaking, he waved his hand to the side, and an elder beside him got up and left the tent, and brought a child of the Wu Clan over after a while.
This child of the Wu tribe doesn't look very unusual, neither can be called pretty, nor can he be called hideous, just very ordinary and ordinary. However, compared to other Wu children that Ye Zan had seen in the tribe, this Wu child was a bit special. The special thing was that he was extremely short and thin.
In fact, if it is placed among the children of the human race, the body of the Wu race child may be considered stronger. However, it is different in the Wu Clan. The physical fitness of the Wu Clan people, even if they don't specialize in cultivating the physical body, can definitely be called the arms that can run horses. Not only the men of the Wu tribe, but also the women and children, all of them are tall and strong, and the children are comparable to the adults of the human race, and the adult Wu tribe is even two meters tall.
Therefore, Ye Zan even thought that the child of the Wu tribe was a human child adopted by the Wu tribe at first sight.
However, when Ye Zan guessed like this, the patriarch of the Wu clan pulled the child in front of him and introduced him, "Fellow Taoist Wuji, this child is the grandson of the 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 Wu Clan patriarch, and obviously said insincerely: "Oh, it turns out to be the grandson of the patriarch, and it really is a hero. Looks like... a man with a bright future."
Although polite words are often against one's will, but looking at the pair of grandparents and grandchildren who are not like his own, Ye Zan really can't think of better words to compliment.
Hearing Ye Zan's words, the child turned his head to the side, and the Wu Clan patriarch smiled wryly, and said, "Friend Wuji,
Still don't embarrass yourself! The old man also knows that the appearance of my descendants is somewhat special among the people of my Wu clan. However, he is indeed a member of my Wu Clan, and has the blood of the Wu Clan on his body. However, for unknown reasons, his physical condition is different from that of the same race, so he will inevitably be excluded and teased by some ignorant children. "
It seems unbelievable that the grandson of the dignified tribal patriarch would be teased by other children because of his appearance. However, the witch race is different from the human race after all, and they also have different concepts and methods from the human race in terms of raising and educating children. It can be said that the Wu people's education for the next generation is somewhat similar to the Spartans in the history of the technological world, only not so extreme, but certainly not spoiled.
In addition, even if the disputes between children are on the human side, some people think that children should be resolved by themselves, and adults can at most give some suggestions or hints. Of course, bullying is definitely not included here. Even if such bad things as bullying can be pushed to the child's ignorance, the responsibility of the parents of the other party should be pursued.
It's like, if a dog bites a person, you can't bite back. After all, it is a dog and you are a human being, but its owner must be responsible for it.
In the world of science and technology, some caring animal protection activists are best at confining all problems to dogs. You say that the neighborhood is full of dog shit, and he says that dogs are ignorant, so you can't blame the dogs for that. You said that the dog bites people, but he said that the dog is not sensible, and it is your own problem that bit you. They always habitually, or deliberately, keep dog owners out of the topic, because most of them are dog owners and cat slaves.
Comparing children and dogs together may feel bad to some people, but for those caring people who have a "dog son" and "cat girl", this should not be considered an offense. In fact, scientific research shows that the intelligence of a dog is equivalent to that of a four- or five-year-old child, so it makes sense to put the two together.
Speaking of children, the custom of the Wu tribe is obviously that adults do not interfere with children's affairs, of course, those things that are obviously too much are not included. In short, it was just teasing and crowding out, and no serious personal injury was involved. Even if he is the grandson of the patriarch, it is not a big deal in the eyes of adults.
"What does the patriarch mean?" Ye Zan felt a little puzzled after hearing the words of the Wu clan patriarch. After all, he knew that his reputation in medical treatment was unlikely to spread to the Great Desolation Territory. So, when the other party asked him to see the child, besides asking him to check the child's body, did he have any other meaning?
sho(pc_middle);
"Fellow Daoist Wuji, what this old man means is that if fellow Daoist doesn't dislike him, can I take him under the door?" The head 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 Yu Qingzong's side, although Mo Rushi and others did not say anything, they were obviously not willing to Ye Zan's "recruitment of disciples". After all, Ye Zan's seniority is so high that even his disciples are much higher than Mo Rushi and the others. In other words, every time Ye Zan takes in an extra 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 did not enter Yu Qingzong soon afterward. And at the back, Ye Zan came out from the underworld, officially brought Shilin into Yuqingzong, and also lived in the war fortress. In this way, most of the time, Shi Lin would not meet with Mo Rushi and others, and the two sides would be much less uncomfortable.
But even if they don't see each other often, Shi Lin's seniority is still there, so when they think about it, I'm afraid they still feel a little strange in their hearts. If Ye Zan took one more apprentice, it would be like their feelings, and naturally it would be doubled, that is to say, he would be even more uncomfortable.
Of course, Ye Zan didn't have a strong desire to accept disciples in his heart, so he thought so much about their feelings. If he really wanted to take in an apprentice, like he took in Shilin back then, he wouldn't care so much about them. Anyway, if you feel uncomfortable when you meet each other, then you should meet less or even not, and you don't have to hang out all day long.
Then, since he didn't have a strong desire to accept disciples, why didn't he just reject the request of the Wu Clan patriarch, but seemed a little hesitant? Ye Zan's hesitation, on the one hand, came from the child's identity, and on the other hand, he just owed the other party a favor, so he still couldn't bear it.
From the perspective of Wu Liao's identity as a child, the other party is the grandson of the chief of the tribe, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of dispensable existence. Then, the other party came to Ye Zan's door, and the relationship between Ye Zan and this tribe was equivalent to skipping the stage of cultivating feelings. Although Yu Qingzong now has so many allies, it may not be necessary for this tribe to do anything, but there is a saying that "more friends have more paths, and more friends lead to easier paths", which is not a bad thing at all.
In addition, Wu Liao has the blood of the Wu clan, which should also be helpful for Ye Zan to study the body refining method of the Wu clan and the method of making bone tools. Although it was impossible for him to slice this little guy up for research, it was still legitimate to take some blood for a test.
Then when it comes to favors, before Ye Zan wanted to see those things of the Wu clan, the other party directly took out the stone slab that recorded the inheritance. Although, the other party took out the slate so happily because he knew that Ye Zan could not learn anything, but Ye Zan had to accept this favor. This favor, whether it is big or small, is at least enough to make Ye Zan hesitate in accepting apprentices.
"Patriarch, you should also know that I am a cultivator. I'm afraid I can't teach Lingsun anything about the practice of the Wu Clan." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, and decided to decline to try first, which can be regarded as letting the other party Help yourself to make up your mind.
Ye Zan's evasion is of course not nonsense, after all, the master is the one who guides the way, and the two sides walked on different paths from the beginning, so how can they help the apprentice lead the way. Moreover, the Witch Clan cannot practice Taoism. This is a fact that has been verified by countless predecessors for tens of thousands of years, and he has no way to force this apprentice to his own path.
"Fellow daoist, don't worry, he has already learned all the body-refining methods of our witch clan, and he will definitely not embarrass fellow daoist in this regard. Besides, fellow daoist has also seen the inheritance stone tablet of our clan before, so he must be very interested in this." He also has some insights into the method of body training, so he can always give some pointers." The Wu Clan patriarch was not polite at all, and immediately brought out the previous favors.
"This... Is the patriarch really willing to let Ling Sun Sui leave? You know, I am from the Shenhua Realm, this time I just came to make some deals with the tribes, and I will leave this world soon. By that time, If Ling Sun is your disciple, he must also go to the Shenhua Realm with you." Ye Zan brought out family affection again, hoping that the other party would change his mind.
However, family love is hard to part with, but isn't the elder's affection for the younger generation just to make the younger generation have a better life? Therefore, regardless of whether there is really a "next-generation relative", anyway, the patriarch of the Wu clan did not show the slightest bit of reluctance, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, this statement is absurd. Whether the environment is good or bad, if this kid can follow fellow Taoists and leave this dangerous wilderness, it will be a good thing for everyone."
Yes, it’s a good thing for your grandchildren, and it’s a good thing for me too! Hearing this, and thinking of this, Ye Zan accepted his fate. After all, in front of a child, he didn't show any helplessness on his face. He nodded solemnly and said: "In this case, if I can get this good student, I still have to What is there to refuse!"
"Haha, thank you fellow daoist for that!" The Wu Clan patriarch laughed twice, cupped his hands and thanked Ye Zan, then patted his grandson Wu Liao on the back of the head, and said, "Come on, boy, what are you doing standing there? Come and pay respects to your master! Kowtow, kowtow, and three kowtows!"
That 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 Master!"
Seeing that the other party kowtowed, Ye Zan didn't bother to talk about the rituals of apprentices, so he stretched out his hand to help Wu Liao up, and said, "Get up! Since you worship me as your teacher, no matter what the masters and apprentices of your Wu clan , at least I have to follow our rules here. However, you don’t have to worry, there are not many rules on my side, and you will gradually know in the future. Now, let me introduce you first, this one is me Sitting down, the eldest disciple is also your elder brother, whose surname is Shi Minglin."
Wu Liao was also very clever, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Shi Lin: "Junior brother Wu Liao, meet senior brother!"
Although, judging from the introduction of the patriarch of the Wu clan, Wu Liao was excluded and teased by the children of the same clan since he was a child due to physical reasons, but he did not develop a heart of bitterness and hatred. Now, facing Shi Lin, whose physical condition is similar to his own, he feels like he has found the same kind, and he can only see the joy of children.
