C9 Yang Xi Took Him as His Master

When Yang Xi learned that the Taoist's nickname was Zuo Ci, Yang Xi was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights. At night, he would laugh foolishly even in his dreams.

As one of the three great immortals of the Three Kingdoms, if he could be accepted as a disciple, he would definitely be able to learn a set of skills. At that time, he might not be able to create a bright path in this chaotic Three Kingdoms era, even if he didn't have the illustrious background of a fourth generation, third generation, like Yuan Shao.

As for Zuo Ci, he had his own thoughts as well. After a few days of observation, Zuo Ci really couldn't see anything from Yang Xi's face. One night, when Yang Xi was asleep, Zuo Ci actually stayed in front of Yang Xi's bed to watch the whole night.

As Zuo Ci slowly observed Yang Xi, he discovered that Yang Xi was not only smart, but also extremely talented. This made Zuo Ci have the thought of taking Yang Xi as his disciple and imparting all of his ability to him. Both of them had the same thought, and were only missing that layer of paper. However, Yang Xi didn't dare to easily say that because for someone like him, who came from a lowly background, being able to stay in the Liu Steel Manor was already akin to tears of gratitude. If Yang Xi made such an extravagant request and was rejected, he might even be chased out of the house. Yang Xi wouldn't be able to make up for the loss. After all, there were countless people in the world who wanted to be Zuo Ci's disciple, and Yang Xi was only a servant with no backers, not to mention no one to recommend him. Therefore, Zuo Ci was the first person to ask.

On this day, when Yang Xi was cleaning Zuo Ci's bedroom, Zuo Ci suddenly asked, "Xi'er (After Yang Xi officially entered the mansion, everyone in the mansion calls Yang Xi Xi'er. This made Yang Xi depressed for a long time; after all, Xi'er has the name of a servant girl), are you used to being here?"

Yang Xi quickly replied respectfully, "Leader, I am very grateful that Xi'er was accepted by you and Lord Prefect. If not, Xi'er would have starved to death on the streets long ago. Life here is too luxurious for Xi'er. Besides, Lord Wu Tie is paying 100 gold every month."

Wu Tie nodded his head and continued to ask, "This old Taoist has been around for eighty years, and during these eighty years, the old Taoist had learned over a hundred clans and mastered them. Only then did he stand out and form his own faction. "Although this old Taoist does not dare to say that he is knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, in this world, other than Nan Hua, his respected teacher, and Fellow Daoist Yu Ji, there is probably no one else who is able to reach the right of this old Taoist."

Hearing this, Yang Xi did not know what Zuo Ci meant, so he did not dare to carelessly reply, only saying: "Taoist Taoist's ability is great, Xi-er has also heard from Sir Prefect, in her heart, Taoist Taoist is revered by the heavens, she is extremely respectful, Xi-er's being able to sweep the floor and serve tea today is already a blessing from my previous life."

Zuo Ci was not moved by Yang Xi's flattery. There were too many people in the world who had said that. Zuo Ci continued, "This year, the old Taoist is over eighty years old and will not be able to live for long. The old Taoist has a rule, which is that every thirty years, one disciple is accepted by the old Taoist, and in this life, the old Taoist has only accepted two disciples, one of them has already died for the country, and the other one is still alive, but the old Taoist has seen when he has taught him his skills, that his character is bad, and that sooner or later, he will bring chaos to the world. I can only sigh that another thirty years have passed, and yet I have still yet to accept another disciple. It seems that this old Taoist's ability has been brought to the coffin. "

However, Yang Xi did not dare to say much, but he was a bit distracted and said: "The name of the Taoist is known by everyone in the world. If Taoist wants to accept a disciple, once the news spreads out, this Leping County might not even be able to stand up for you, is Taoist afraid of not being able to find a successor?"

The slight change on Yang Xi's face didn't escape Zuo Ci's eyes. He thought to himself, 'This kid is indeed a genius. He actually has such a deep shrewdness at such a young age. Let's see how long he can persevere for. Zuo Ci purposely sighed, "This old Taoist has seen all sorts of people in his decades of life, but either he is crafty or he is not talented enough. Even though the old Taoist hasn't taken any more disciples, there isn't even a person who would sweep the floor and serve tea.

This sentence was very obvious. As long as they weren't idiots or idiots, they would be able to hear the hidden meaning behind Wu Tie's words. How could Yang Xi not hear it? However, Yang Xi didn't think that such a good thing could happen to him. Although Yang Xi really wanted to become Zuo Ci's disciple, at this moment, Yang Xi was too excited and he couldn't help but stutter: "Then … That... The Taoist thinks... Think Happy... "Happy …" Yang Xi was speechless.

Ren Zuo Ci had been cultivating for many years, and after hearing Yang Xi's words, he couldn't help but smile. Thus, he said amiably to Yang Xi: "Whatever you want to say, come at me."

Yang Xi was greatly encouraged by Zuo Ci's expression and words. Yang Xi kneeled down in front of Zuo Ci and looked at him eagerly, saying, "Leader, Xiao'er, Xiao'er wants to be your disciple and learn a set of skills. Please accept Xi'er as your disciple." After saying that, Yang Xi kowtowed again and again.

Seeing that Yang Xi was really pleading with him, Zuo Ci, on the other hand, remained motionless. He let Yang Xi kowtow in front of him and said, "Don't kowtow yet. Let me ask you first, what is the purpose of you wanting to acknowledge me as your master?"

It was too hard to answer and Yang Xi's body suddenly stopped. However, Yang Xi didn't have much time to think about how to answer before passing the last stage. Because if he thought for too long, Zuo Ci would think that what he said was not true. Yang Xi pondered for a moment and hardened his heart. He said, "Is Taoist Priest willing to listen to the truth from Yang Xi?"

Zuo Ci didn't expect Yang Xi to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay, just say it. It doesn't matter if you said something wrong."

Betting, fighting, this is what Yang Xi thought. Yang Xi said: "Nowadays, the world serves the unruly, the imperial court is chaotic, the people are not comfortable with life. If Xi'er learns a whole set of skills, she will serve the imperial government and be civil and military under the heavens. If the big man can help, then help us. If we can't help, then Xi'er will help the Lord Ming or replace him with the people of the world, allowing them to live and work in peace, truly bringing peace to the nation. "

Zuo Ci listened silently and lowered his head in thought. Yang Xi, on the other hand, kept his eyes on Zuo Ci's face, fearing that his words would not satisfy him. Yang Xi, on the other hand, kept his eyes on Zuo Ci's face, fearing that his words would not satisfy him.

After a long while, Zuo Ci said: "Okay, I will accept you as my disciple. Kowtow."

Yang Xi was overjoyed. He kowtowed to Zuo Ci eight times, stood up, and respectfully stood beside Zuo Ci. Yang Xi was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He just rubbed his hands together.

Zuo Ci looked at Yang Xi's expression and suddenly turned serious. He said to Yang Xi, "Since we have become master and disciple, I have no choice but to correct the mistake you just made. Do you know what you did wrong?"

Yang Xi was stunned. He thought about what he had just done and felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. He then said uneasily, "I don't know. Please correct me, Master."

"Yes." Seeing that Yang Xi was quite sincere, Zuo Ci couldn't help but nod his head, stroking his beard with his hand as he said, "Today, the world belongs to the big man, and you actually dared to say 'the big man can help you, but cannot support you, and will support the master or yourself instead'. I am an outsider, and I don't care much about who is the emperor, but if others hear these words, will your little life be saved?"

Hearing Zuo Ci's alarm, Yang Xi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't know how to explain and could only lower his head and say, "Disciple understands his mistake."

In the future, when you succeed, you will have to recruit a lot of talents. Remember, you must never say such words in front of anyone else. You must know, even though the current emperor is immoral, there are still plenty of loyal people who are loyal to the imperial court.

Yang Xi hurriedly said, "Yes, I will remember it. Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Wu Tie nodded and continued, "Master has to teach Wang Bo's daughter Wang Mian's calligraphy and calligraphy during the daytime, so I can only teach you at night. Also, you must not mention your relationship with master to anyone in the family."

Although he didn't know why Zuo Ci was acting this way, Yang Xi didn't dare to ask too many questions. He only lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Master. I will remember it."
