Chapter forty-one, the end of the journey
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Pindao likes this innocent and straightforward temperament."
Xiao Shihao immediately smiled brightly and looked at Li Ping'an with eyes full of kindness.
Li Ping'an said seriously: "Shi Hao, are you willing to take Pindao as your teacher?"
Xiao Shihao rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you better than our village chief?"
The village chief immediately scolded him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The Taoist priest is much more capable than me."
"What can you teach me?" Shi Hao asked curiously.
Li Ping'an said sternly: "I can teach you to chant sutras and gain enlightenment. One talisman can determine the universe, turn the stars in a flash, and control the sky with one sword."
Shi Hao shook his head and said blankly: "I don't understand!" Then he said with a smile: "But it feels great!"
He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
"Get up!" Li Ping'an smiled sincerely. The child of luck was in his pocket. It was so simple.
Xiao Shihao got up from the ground with a smile.
The village chief said with a look of dismay: "From now on, Xiao Shihao will be taught by Guanzhu Lao."
Li Ping'an nodded and said, "That's right!" He stood up and said, "Now that the matter is done, it's time for us to leave."
The village chief said quickly: "Master, wait a minute!"
Li Ping'an looked at the village chief in confusion.
The village chief said reluctantly: "Xiao Shihao has grown up in Shicun since he was a baby. It will take me an unknown amount of time to go to learn skills with you. Please also ask the Taoist priest to stay for a while and let us see Xiao Shihao off."
Li Ping'an nodded and understood: "The village chief doesn't need to be too sad. Sanqing Temple is only a few dozen miles away from here. When Shi Hao succeeds in his cultivation, Pindao will let him come back to see you."
The village chief bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you so much, Master!"
"Take Shi Hao with you! We will set off before sunset."
"This~" the village chief said hesitantly: "Master, isn't it unsafe to drive at night?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the dangers in the mountains and forests can be ignored by a poor man."
The village chief looked in amazement, and felt that it was right for Shi Hao to become his disciple. He turned around and led Shi Hao outside.
As soon as the village chief Shi Hao left, Li Ping'an quickly asked in his mind: "System, I have received the Son of Destiny, where is the reward? Where is my reward?"
There is no sound from the system at all.
"Hey~ don't pretend to be dead? Do you want to keep my reward for yourself again? Do you believe that I will sue Dao Ancestor?"
Li Ping'an screamed in his heart for a long time, but he didn't see any response from the system. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why was he so eager to see the son of luck just now? You don't recognize people when you put on pants, right?
…
The villagers of Shicun held a village banquet to see Shi Hao off. Some women held Shi Hao and wiped their tears, feeling sad for the farewell but also happy for him.
In the evening, Li Ping'an rode a green bull with Shi Hao sitting in front of him and slowly left Shi Village. The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village to see Shi Hao off.
A big man stood next to the village chief and whispered: "Village Chief, are you so relieved that Shi Hao will be taken away by them?"
The village chief sighed and said: "Otherwise? What can we teach him? Hunting?"
The big man held back and said, "But what if they are not good people? What if they want to hurt Shi Hao?"
The village chief watched Li Ping'an and others disappear into the forest, and said leisurely: "They can travel thousands of miles across the Cangman Mountains. What do you think of their strength?"
The big man's face changed and he said solemnly: "Very strong! Very, very strong!"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes! They are so powerful and yet they sat down with us and talked calmly. This shows that they are not bad people.
Furthermore, given their strength, they really want to harm Xiao Shihao, how can we resist them?"
"We also have a sacred tree for worshiping spirits!"
The village chief whispered: "The sacrifices have sent messages to me. Don't offend them. It seems that the sacrifice spirits are also afraid."
The big man's face changed drastically and he exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
…
Li Ping'an and others were walking in the dark woods, with big trees blocking the sky and the sun.
Bai Yun laughed and said: "Master, this cow just wanted to eat the sacrifice spirit of Shicun."
"Moo~" Qingniu mooed, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, the old man dared to complain, and kicked Baiyun with a hoof.
Baiyun took a step forward, easily dodging the green bull's hooves.
Li Ping'an reached out and knocked Qing Niu on the head, and said dissatisfiedly: "Qing Niu, believe it or not, I will go back to eat beef in sour soup?"
Qingniu's body trembled and he quickly lowered his head.
Shi Hao's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Master, Master, what is beef in sour soup? Is it delicious?"
Li Ping'an said with a smile: "The beef stew soup is sour and spicy, and it is delicious."
Shi Hao wiped his saliva and looked down at the cow's neck, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Qingniu shivered, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and his pace suddenly accelerated a bit.
Li Ping'an asked curiously: "What is Shicun Spiritual Sacrifice?"
Bai Yun said with a smile: "A willow tree was struck by lightning, and it was resurrected from the dead. It has reached the second level of cultivation. The green cow wanted to eat it, and it attacked the green cow. I blocked it, and it seemed to be frightened."
"You didn't hurt it, did you?"
Bai Yun shook his head and said: "No, Temple Master, you once said that the Taoist sect was reborn. Bai Yun will never act as recklessly as before."
Li Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Great kindness!"
Shi Hao was sitting in front of Li Ping'an, his little eyes darting around. It sounded like the master was very powerful!
Early the next morning, as the red sun rose in the east, a miserable cry rang out from the Sanqing Temple.
"No, no, I don't want to eat noodles anymore."
In the backyard hall, Qingfeng sat on the main seat and ate noodles.
Qingxue and Qingyu sat next to each other, each with a bowl of noodles in front of them, both of them looking desperate.
Qingfeng finished eating his noodles, raised his head, and said with a smile on his handsome face: "If you don't eat, I will eat everything!"
"No!~" The two of them hugged their bowls at the same time, looking at the noodles in the bowls as if they were filled with hatred.
Qingfeng burped, slumped down in the main chair, stretched out his slender fingers, trimmed his nails with a knife and said, "Eat quickly, and start practicing after eating."
"Woooooo~" Qingxue Qingyu let out a mournful cry and began to scoop noodles into her mouth.
In the woods in front of Sanqing Temple, Li Ping'an rode out on a green ox. Shi Hao was sleeping soundly in his arms, with a snot bubble hanging on his nose.
With a bang, the snot bubbles exploded, and Shi Hao smashed his mouth.
Bai Yun showed a relaxed look and said: "Master Guan, we are back."
Li Ping'an smiled and said, "Yes! I'm finally back."
