Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 13 The Real Gold in the Taoist Temple 12

"I'll take some time every day to tell you about my world. I'll also give you a thousand-year-old ginseng and a prescription for longevity. Master, I think you'll be fine!"

"Okay, that's great. You can be my direct disciple. I will become your disciple together with Qin Yan."

"Master, I'll get you some ginseng. You wait in the study." Gu Nan ran back to the bedroom to get the ginseng and came back. Then he wrote down the prescription in the study, drew the pattern, and recorded the medicinal properties in detail, fearing that there would be mistakes in the dimensions of the medicinal materials. Chang Le watched while he was writing, and when he finished writing, he anxiously took it away along with the ginseng, as if he was afraid that Gu Nan would regret not giving it to him.

Gu Nan pouted as he watched his master leave and go down the mountain. He and Wang Jinghao should have finished school during this time, so he went to Quan Mansion at the foot of the mountain, picked up a small stone, walked to the place near Wang Jinghao's yard, and threw it onto the desk in the study. After throwing it, he went to the river to wait.

After waiting for a while, she saw three people coming towards her from Quan's house, and Quan Hongbao was holding a paper bag in his hand, which was obviously food.

"Chu Chu, let's eat together. I got it from the kitchen." As soon as Quan Hongbao came over, he held up the paper bag in his hand and said loudly.

"What's delicious?" Although Quan Hongbao is one year older than her, he is a real child who needs to be coaxed, so Gu Nan asked happily.

"It's chicken, it's still hot from the pan."

"Sister, I want to eat too."

"Then you have to bring me candy next time."

After saying that, they happily divided the chicken. The roasted chicken was really delicious. She and Baoer each got a chicken leg among the four of them, and the other two brothers took care of it.

"Jingran, do you want to learn martial arts or medicine?"

"Can I do it? I'm afraid I can't practice martial arts with such a poor health. But I can ask Grandpa to think of a way to find one for me, okay?" Wang Jinghao said with his head down in a depressed mood, fearing that Gu Nan would be disappointed.

"So do you like martial arts and medical skills?"

"I want to become stronger and protect the people I love." Wang Jinghao looked up at Gu Nan firmly.

"Hmm...My master lost a bet with me and promised me something. He promised to accept you as his disciple. Tomorrow you should ask your grandfather to go up the mountain to discuss becoming his disciple." Looking into Wang Jinghao's eyes, she felt like she was his whole world and said shyly.

"Chu Chu, can my cousin really become a disciple? Can I go too?" Quan Hongbao said naively.

"If you want to learn martial arts, won't you ask your father to teach you? Cousin, your martial arts method is not suitable for you, you can practice with me! You won't use the ready-made and cheap ones."

Quan Wenyou nodded Baoer's head and said.

"But will mother agree?"

"Then you can just practice with me secretly without telling your parents, okay?" Quan Wenyou waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Can I really take Taoist Changle as my master?" When Quan Wenyou and the others were talking, Wang Jinghao also came back to his senses from his shock and pulled Gu Nan's sleeve to confirm loudly. At this time, Wang Jinghao's mind was full of one thing, he could take Taoist Changle as his master, so that he and Gu Nan would be brothers and sisters, and he could protect Nan Nan by practicing martial arts and medical skills well in the future.

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Gu Nan no longer cared about the stupid Wang Jinghao. He waved his hand, said hello to the two siblings of the Quan family, and returned to the Taoist temple.

As soon as Wang Jinghao and the two siblings of the Quan family returned, they went straight to Old Master Wang's study and reported to their grandfather what Gu Nan had asked them to do, asking Chang Le to be their teacher.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Grandpa, of course it's true. Chuchu said it himself." Quan Hongbao said loudly.

"Okay... okay, grandpa will ask the housekeeper to prepare a gift list, and we will go up the mountain to visit Taoist Chang Le tomorrow." Old Master Wang said excitedly, stroking his beard.

"Captain, go and call the butler."

"Jingran, you must listen to Taoist Changle's words when you become his disciple. I originally wanted you to get closer to him. You are well thanks to him. At the beginning, I intended to settle here because I heard that he lived here. It is your good fortune that you can become his disciple now." After being excited, Old Master Wang held Wang Jinghao's hand and said earnestly. He thought that this was the best way. Wang Jinghao would no longer care about his parents' love because he would have his master to protect him and his sister to accompany him.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will learn well from the master. I know you are worried that I am still sad about what happened before, and I will try to let it go." Wang Jinghao was also afraid that his grandfather would be sad, so he spoke to him softly.

The next day, Old Master Wang ordered his attendant to bring gifts and lead Wang Jinghao up the mountain. Old Master Wang was discussing things with Chang Le in the study, and Gu Nan asked his little tail Qin Le and Wang Jinghao to go to the cliff to play, which was also a way to adapt to the environment in advance.

When coming up, they met the Gu brother and sister who were coming back from collecting herbs. They had been free since the busy farming season and went up the mountain to collect herbs and hunt. They just came down the mountain. Gu Nan didn't talk to them about other things. He just said that the master had accepted two disciples, and they came to watch the ceremony when they became apprentices, and then they parted ways.

When they reached the cliff, they lit a fire in the cave, told Wang Jinghao to look after his junior apprentice, and then left the cave. Gu Nan hunted a wild rabbit and picked some wild vegetables nearby. He went to the stream he often went to, washed the wild vegetables and wrapped them in leaves, then skinned the rabbit, cleaned its internal organs, and washed some leaves to carry back to the cliff.

After coming back, Wang Jinghao took over and asked him to do it. Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Gu Nan sat on the rock at the entrance of the cave and taught him how to apply the seasoning (they practiced martial arts on the cliff all year round, so the master and his men brought it with them for the convenience of having a snack). After applying it, he talked about how to sprinkle some salt on the wild vegetables and stuff them into the rabbit's stomach, and finally how to wrap them with leaves, cover them with mud, add some dry firewood, and throw them in to roast after burning it.

After they finished, the two sat together, watching the little junior brother under the tree. The little junior brother Qin Yan was still young, and was picking flowers and watching squirrels outside the cave, jumping around. The three-year-old child has a short memory, and now he only remembers eating and playing, and the harm done to his relatives had long been forgotten.

As she looked, Gu Nan looked down at the cliff, so she asked the system to scan what was down there. She had never been down there before, so she was curious!

"Yes, host, beep... beep..." The system began to scan the bottom of the cliff.

"Host, there is a naturally formed cave under the cliff, growing some exotic flowers and herbs, as well as a strange animal." After the system scan was completed, it replied to Gu Nan.

The focus was on a strange animal. It looked very weird. Most of its body was covered with white fur, like a cat and a dog. There were spots on its limbs and behind its ears, and there was a pair of protrusions on its head that looked like horns. It had wings on its back. Isn't that strange?

This aroused Gu Nan's interest, so he turned to Wang Jinghao and said.

"Jingran, remember to add more firewood before the rabbit meat is cooked. Keep an eye on Qin Yan and don't let him run around. I'm going to go down the cliff to pick some herbs." Gu Nan instructed Wang Jinghao carefully.

"Chu Chu, I saw that the cliff is very deep just now. Be careful when you go down. If I knew martial arts, I could go down and pick it up for you."

"Don't worry, I've mastered the Qinggong skill. Besides, you can learn it after you become my disciple. Don't be depressed, I'm going." Gu Nan comforted him.
