Chapter 366: Accepting a Disciple

"Your face is not fat, but thick-skinned..." Old Kui couldn't help but say.

Mr. Zhuang denied:

"Impossible, I have always been so thick-skinned."

Old Kui sighed, and did not argue with him, and asked the main business: "Have you thought about how to avoid karma?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said: "I have thought about it."

Old Kui looked at him silently.

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of wine and said lightly:

"Cause and effect are given, just like this wine, you can't avoid it just because you want to. As long as you drink wine, you can't avoid the smell of wine."

"Since you can't avoid it, use other causes and effects to confuse it."

"If you confuse the smell of wine, others may not be able to smell it. If you confuse cause and effect, others may not be able to see it either."

Confusing cause and effect...

Old Kui frowned and thought, then he understood, but still said:

"You are making cause and effect more complicated by doing this?"

"It's not me who made it complicated..."

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, and then looked far away at the courtyard.

Under the big locust tree in the courtyard, three disciples were having fun.

Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng were talking about something. Bai Zixi's beautiful eyes were slightly bright. She listened quietly and occasionally showed a faint smile like a crescent moon.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were deep, "But some causes and effects already exist."

...

The next day, Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang as usual, and brought a lot of food in big and small boxes.

"Sir, my mother asked me to bring it to you to taste!"

Mo Hua's tone was cheerful, and his eyes were clear, like starlight.

The morning sun was bright, and the room was bright.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, and suddenly his face became gentle, and he said softly:

"Mo Hua, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Am I not already your disciple?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "Not a registered disciple, but a direct disciple!"

Mo Hua was stunned.

He opened his mouth wide, and for a moment he was a little unbelievable, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Dear...dear disciple?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded gently.

Mo Hua was overjoyed, but then asked cautiously:

"Sir, will you regret accepting me as your disciple? My spiritual roots are very poor..."

Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter..."

Mo Hua thought he was dreaming again, but even if it was a dream, he had to agree to this kind of thing.

Mo Hua was about to agree, but was stopped by Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang said solemnly: "You have to think about it."

"Is there anything to consider?"

Mo Hua frowned, not understanding what to consider.

Mr. Zhuang said: "I am leaving Tongxian City. If you worship me as your master and learn formations from me, you will have to travel with me."

"You don't know when you will travel. You have to discuss it with your parents and consider their feelings before deciding whether to become their disciple."

Mr. Zhuang was considerate and thoughtful.

Mo Hua frowned and was very entangled.

He wanted to take Mr. Zhuang as his teacher and learn more advanced formations, but he couldn't bear to leave his parents because he was afraid that they would worry.

Mr. Zhuang said gently: "Go back and ask your parents, think about it carefully, and then give me an answer."

"Yes."

Mo Hua nodded solemnly.

After returning home, Mo Hua told his parents about this.

Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua both looked happy, and then hesitated.

Mo Shan frowned and was about to say something when Liu Ruhua said firmly:

"Hua'er, you should take Mr. Zhuang as your master."

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "But..."

But once he takes the master's place, he will leave with Mr. Zhuang. He doesn't know when he can come back, when he can see his parents again...

Liu Ruhua looked gentle and shook her head:

"Don't think so much. If you can master the formation, the world is vast and you can go everywhere. Don't care about the temporary separation."

"It is a great opportunity to learn the formation from Mr. Zhuang. Don't miss it!"

"We are just casual cultivators, without fame or profit. Despite this, Mr. Zhuang is still willing to accept you as his disciple, which is a great favor."

"We have no way to repay this favor."

"You take Mr. Zhuang as your master, stay by his side, and do your best to repay Mr. Zhuang..."

Liu Ruhua's tone was gentle but firm.

Mo Shan also nodded and said, "Listen to your mother."

"Okay, I remember!"

Mo Hua nodded seriously.

After Mo Hua returned to her room, Liu Ruhua's resolute expression disappeared, and she became hesitant and uneasy, worried about gains and losses.

Mo Shan held her hand and said softly:

"Can't bear to let go?"

Liu Ruhua's eyes were slightly sour, and she nodded.

How could she bear to let go of a child who had been with her since childhood and was well-behaved and considerate...

But she couldn't help it.

Liu Ruhua sighed,

"Hua'er has learned the formation so well. There is no one in Tongxian City who can teach him. If he stays here for a lifetime, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to make any progress..."

"I know he likes to learn the formation and wants to learn it, but he is worried about us and can't make up his mind."

"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run..."

"I can't delay his future just because I don't want to let him go."

Mo Shan was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and comforted him:

"Don't worry, he's just traveling, it's not like he won't come back, who will When he was young, he didn't travel outside?"

"Maybe after a few years, he will come back again?"

"When the time comes, maybe he can bring you a young wife."

Liu Ruhua burst into tears and laughed, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mo Shan saw that his wife looked much better, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her:

"No matter where he travels, he will come back one day. As his parents, we just need to wait for him here..."

Liu Ruhua's mood gradually settled down and she nodded silently.

...

The next day, Mo Hua went to see Mr. Zhuang again, remembering his parents' instructions, and respectfully bowed, and said in a clear voice:

"Mo Hua is not talented, I hope you will accept me as your apprentice!"

Mr. Zhuang was stunned.

It was obviously he who wanted to accept a disciple, but Mo Hua came to him respectfully to become his disciple...

Mr. Zhuang felt warm in his heart, and he helped Mo Hua up and brushed his clothes for him, "Don't be so polite, it's too formal..."

Mo Hua squinted and smiled.

Seeing Mo Hua's innocent smile, Mr. Zhuang also smiled gently, feeling relieved.

In any case, he finally accepted this disciple.

No matter how the world changes, no matter how the cause and effect change, this matter will never change.

Since the matter has been determined, there is no need to hesitate, no need to hesitate, just move forward firmly.

Mr. Zhuang suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It seems that after so many years of wandering, he finally has a place to stay, and so many years of depression and ups and downs have gone with the wind.

Mo Hua was happy for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and felt a little entangled again.

He asked quietly, "Sir, how many disciples do you plan to accept?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at him, smiling, "What do you want to ask?"

Mo Hua felt that it was not appropriate, and after a moment of hesitation, he still asked, "What about Zisheng and Zixi, won't you accept them?"

If everyone becomes a registered disciple together, and only he worships Mr. Zhuang as his teacher, then they probably feel uncomfortable...

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "They have good qualifications, and they have some connections with me, I will accept them."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy.

In this way, everyone becomes a registered disciple together, and then becomes a direct disciple together, and they are real fellow disciples.

Mo Hua thought again, Zisheng and Zixi are extremely talented, and have a family background, maybe Mr. Zhuang has wanted to accept them as disciples for a long time.

In comparison, I am born weak, my spiritual roots are not good, and I come from a poor family, so I have a stronger spiritual consciousness and better formation drawing.

It should be natural for Mr. Zhuang to accept Zisheng and Zixi as disciples, but accepting me is a bit like "making up the numbers".

But Mo Hua didn't care. He was very happy that Mr. Zhuang was willing to accept him as his apprentice.

After Mo Hua left happily, Mr. Zhuang called Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi and asked directly:

"Would you like to be my apprentice?"

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were both stunned.

After a moment, Bai Zisheng looked excited and Bai Zixi also showed joy.

They thought that Mr. Zhuang would not accept them, but they didn't expect that things would turn around in the end and Mr. Zhuang agreed to accept them as his apprentices.

The two immediately saluted and said respectfully:

"Greetings, Master."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "Get up."

The two stood up respectfully again.

Mr. Zhuang said, "Let's choose a day to burn incense and serve tea, and then formally become your disciple."

"Your mother should know the rest of the things, and she has explained them to you."

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were dim, "Since I have agreed to accept you as my disciples, I will naturally teach you everything I should teach, and I will also give an explanation to her."

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded in agreement.

They just need to become your disciple, and there is no need to ask about other things.

Before becoming your disciple, they should follow their mother's arrangements, and after becoming your disciple, they should follow Mr. Zhuang's arrangements.

They, the brothers and sisters, actually have no say in the matter.

In other words, for the affairs of the aristocratic families, their disciples, even if they are direct descendants and have outstanding talents, often have no say.

The more important the matter, the less room for change.

After Mr. Zhuang gave a simple instruction, he let them go back.

Bai Zixi was careful after all, and he hesitated for a moment before leaving, but still asked:

"Sir, Mo Hua..."

Before Bai Zixi finished speaking, Bai Zisheng reacted and asked:

"Sir, will you accept Mo Hua as your apprentice?"

They all became registered disciples together. Now they all worshipped Mr. Zhuang as their master. If Mo Hua was missing, even if he didn't say it, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Mr. Zhuang was startled, and felt inexplicably relieved in his heart. He nodded and said:

"Yes!"

The two were even happier now.

Bai Zisheng looked excited, and Bai Zixi also smiled lightly. His smile was like a blooming night-blooming cereus, beautiful and stunning.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang sighed in his heart:

This child is even better looking than her mother.

I don't know if it will be a good thing in the future...
