My apprentice is not easy

Chapter 44 Accepting Disciples ([-])

Amidst the curiosity of many people who came here due to the huge movement, Shen Ling and the three changed their way and returned to the small shop safely.

Lao Zhang said he was going to dispense some medicine, and when he went back to the medicine hall, there were only two Shen Ling Shiheng left.

"Master, eat melon!"

Shi Heng handed over the cut melon and looked at Shen Ling with a smile.

Shen Ling took a piece and took a bite.

Not bad not bad, very sweet.

While eating, he turned his eyes and glanced at Shi Heng.

After thinking about it, he asked.

"Shi Heng, why do you want to worship me as your teacher?"

Shi Heng was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to think.

Why...that's a good question!

It only took a few days for his life to go from what he thought was perfect to a complete mess.

In despair, it was Shen Ling who appeared and gave him something called hope.

So, it may be because I want to be strong, so I want to become a teacher; or it may be because I was saved, so I want to become a teacher; but the most important thing...

"I think there is a reason to stay here justifiably."

Shen Ling took a bite of the melon with a "click", her expression was astonished.

That's it?

She turned her head to look at Shi Heng in disbelief, but found that his expression was very serious.

"I didn't accept you as an apprentice, didn't I let you stay?"

Shi Heng shook his head.

"That's different."

He has nowhere to go, so, wants to be this "home" person.

Fine!

Shen Ling swallowed the melon in her mouth and said.

"I agreed."

Shi Heng was taken aback.

"what?"

"I agree to accept apprentices, don't you understand?"

"Ang... Really?"

"……real."

"Ahhh!"

Shen Ling stared blankly at the suddenly excited young man, and stared at the door of the shop with a stiff neck.

Sure enough, he met many curious eyes.

"..."

The newly accepted apprentice, I don't want it anymore.

"Are you going to lift the roof?!"

Shi Heng hurriedly shut up and looked at Shen Ling carefully.

"Master, isn't this fun!"

"Are you so happy that the species has changed? Why are you yelling? Monkeys..."

Shen Ling gave him a disgusted look, stretched out her hand, and took another piece of melon.

Shi Heng came over cheerfully.

"Then master, what is the apprenticeship ceremony? I have never been a master before, so I don't know the process. Tell me, master, and I will follow suit!"

"The process..."

Shen Ling squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then pointed to the melon next to her with her eyes.

"Bring me a piece."

"Okay, master!"

Shi Heng obediently took a piece and handed it over.

Shen Ling accepted it.

Then speak.

"The process is over, just stay and go!"

Shi Heng:? ? ?

Although he really didn't know much about apprenticeship, at least he knew that serving tea was a must.

So this is, did he offer a piece of melon?
"...Master, isn't this a little too hasty?"

"Otherwise what do you want?"

Shen Ling squinted at him.

"You do the math yourself, how many times have you called Master?"

Shi Heng choked.

It seems... it is.

He was silent for a moment, and silently moved aside.

He is obedient, and he stays by his side.

"Oh, right."

As if she just remembered, Shen Ling waved at Shi Heng.

"Under my sect, there are a few rules."

"One, to act from now on, you need to believe in 'good' and not do evil."

"Second, when you go out to do business, you must not take the initiative to mention the teacher's name as a taboo."

"Three...you need to remember that people are not necessarily good, and demons are not necessarily all evil, you need to distinguish carefully!"

"I haven't thought about it for four years, and I'll tell you when I think about it."

Shi Heng nodded solemnly.

"I made a note, master."

"Also," Shen Ling said, "the one you saw before, Jiang Yuehan, is your senior brother. When you come here, you two should get to know each other well."

"He's a few years older than you, but he's not much older. As a peer, getting along shouldn't be a problem."

"that is……"

Shen Ling bit the melon and thought about it, then looked at Shi Heng.

"Your brother and I are learning painting. What do you want to learn?"

Now that you have accepted disciples, you can't just teach yourself nothing and let people serve you!

Shi Heng pondered for a moment, uncertain.

"Master, your...carving?"

Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, and looked up and down at Shi Heng.

What's wrong with these two apprentices?

One took over his own paintings, so he learned to paint; the other took over his own wood carvings, so he learned to carve... Well, it's very intuitive and easy to understand.

Because they have seen the same...

"Row."

Shen Ling pointed behind the counter.

"There are wooden blocks and carving knives at the back, go and get them."

"Good master!"

Shi Heng hurriedly got up and ran over.

As for Shen Ling, she ate the melon in a "click" manner, with an extremely leisurely posture.

It wasn't until Shi Heng brought the things that Shen Ling stopped, took the wooden carving knife, and made two gestures on her hand.

"Have you ever done sculpture before?"

Shi Heng shook his head.

"No."

"Carving, according to different raw materials, is divided into many types, the easiest of which is wood carving; the hardest is jade carving."

"The former is easy because of the wide range of materials and the plasticity of wood. The latter... wait, do you still owe me a lot of money?"

Shi Heng, who listened carefully, froze for a moment, and answered in a daze.

"……hold head high."

Shen Ling smiled immediately.

"Although we have become masters and apprentices now, the 5 taels of gold can't be lost...and the medicine money from the previous one!"

Shi Heng suddenly wept.

"Master, I have no money..."

Shen Ling chuckled, and twirled the carving knife in her hand.

"It's still the same sentence, not now, but there will be in the future."

Shi Heng: (﹏)
"Come on, let's continue talking..."

Shen Ling said.

"At the beginning, I don't recommend you get into other types of carvings, just start with wood carvings!"

"For carving, the main thing to look at is the shape. You need to make two shapes in your mind first, one wooden block and one, which is what you want to carve."

"Where to make a few cuts and where to let it go deep, you need to think about it in advance..."

Shi Heng nodded while watching Shen Ling hold the knife and land on the wooden block.

In an instant, the sawdust fell.

Shi Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He saw Shen Ling drop a knife, and also dropped many knives. These knives hooked up with spiritual power, formed a magical symbol in the air, and sank into the wood carving.

Almost instantly, the ordinary wood carving changed, as if suddenly, it changed from a dead thing to a living thing.

Shen Ling dropped the knife again, but Shi Heng felt his eyes were a little blurred.

He could only see the shadow of the knife, but he really couldn't count how many knives were contained in this knife.

At the moment when the knife fell, the magical symbol formed, what it looked like, and what meaning it represented, I didn't know at all.

Shen Ling is still talking, at this moment, Shi Heng's mind is getting more and more confused.

But suddenly, a piece of information flowed into my mind, like a summer cold wave, making people unconsciously clear their minds.

Shi Heng was busy looking at it.

One exercise is for cultivating heaven and earth runes and mastering the power of heaven and earth.

A secret method is the art of carving puppets.

In an instant, it suddenly became clear.

Shi Heng regained his senses and looked at Shen Ling again.

I saw that Shen Ling had already put down the carving knife, and was holding a shaped wood carving of a strange beast in her hand.

It looks like a unicorn, with hair on its body; its eyes are full of spirit, and a horn grows on its forehead.

With just one glance, I feel clear in my heart.

　Thanks for the recommendation tickets from the cuties, by the way, ask for a wave!
