Chapter 123 Wuyazi accepts Duan Yu as his disciple
Duan Yu turned his head to look at Fang Muye, and seeing him nod, he calmed himself down and walked towards the wooden house.
As soon as he entered the door, Duan Yu saw that although the room in the wooden house was very large, it was empty and had nothing in it. There was no door or window, only a hole behind him.
He thought about it, then walked forward until he was in front of the wall and struck out again.
The wall of the house had been rotten for a long time, and immediately there was a "cracking" sound, and a big hole appeared.
Duan Yu looked inside and saw another empty room.
Without thinking, Duan Yu walked to the wall again and broke a door in the wall with his palm. This time he looked inside and was shocked. Although it was also an empty room, there was a man in white sitting in the air.
Duan Yu took a closer look and discovered that the man was tied with a black rope, the other end of the rope was connected to a beam, hanging his body in the air. However, because the wall behind him was black and the rope was also black, the two black colors overlapped and the rope could not be seen. At first glance, it looked like the man was sitting in the air.
"I've waited for thirty years, and finally you've arrived, good boy, come in!"
An old, low, kind and gentle voice suddenly sounded, and it was the man in the air who spoke.
Duan Yu walked in as he was told, raised his head slightly and looked at the man.
He had a three-foot long black beard without a single gray hair, and his face was as handsome as jade without a single wrinkle. He was obviously quite old, but he was still energetic and had an elegant demeanor.
I thought to myself, "This old gentleman must be the Senior Wuyazi that Master mentioned."
Duan Yu bowed to Wuyazi and said respectfully, "I am Duan Yu, the junior, and I am honored to meet you, Senior."
Wuyazi stared at him for a long while, his eyes sparkling, and suddenly he laughed: "Good! Good! Good! I have waited for so many years, and finally I have waited for a young man like you who is intelligent, handsome, and beautiful inside and out. Good! Good! Good!"
Wuyazi said the word "good" a total of six times, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood. Duan Yu was praised so much that he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Wuyazi said again: "My good boy, you just said your name is Duan Yu, but are you from the Duan family of Dali?"
Duan Yu replied, "Yes, senior, the King of Zhennan in Dali is my father."
Wuyazi said to himself, "You have the foundation of the Dali Duan family, so it will be easier for you to accomplish your goals. I used to enjoy a comfortable life in the Wuliang Mountain of Dali, and now the disciple I want to accept is from the Dali Duan family. The things in this world are really mysterious."
He hesitated for a moment, then said to Duan Yu: "Good boy, kneel down and kowtow to me and become my disciple."
Duan Yu said, "Senior, I have something to tell you first. If you are willing to accept me as your disciple, I will pay my respects to you."
Wuyazi smiled and said, "Good boy, go ahead and tell me."
Duan Yu bowed first, then said solemnly: "Senior, I am a disciple of Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji School, and I have already worshipped my master. However, my master said that I have a connection with Xiaoyao Sect, so he brought me here."
Wuyazi frowned slightly and said, "Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji Sect? How come I have never heard of it? You just said that your master said that you have a connection with my Xiaoyao Sect. What does that mean?"
Duan Yu replied, "I accidentally fell off the cliff of Wuliang Mountain and met my master, who taught me the Xiaoyao Sect's "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu"."
Wuyazi stared at Duan Yu and asked anxiously, "Who is your master?"
Duan Yu said: "My master's surname is Fang, and his given name is Shang Mu Xia Ye."
Wuyazi smiled awkwardly and muttered to himself, "It's not her. If it was her, Xinghe would be outside, how could he not recognize her?"
He sighed, looked at Duan Yu, and asked, "How did your master know I was here?"
Duan Yu showed a hint of pride in his expression, and said: "My master has the nickname of 'Know-it-all' in the martial arts world, because my master knows a lot of things in the martial arts world, but how my master knows them, I don't know."
But what he was thinking was, "My master is a celestial being, and I cannot tell anyone about it."
Wuyazi was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a strange person as Master in the martial arts world."
Su Xinghe founded the "Deaf and Mute Sect", and forced all of his disciples to be deaf and mute. They also often lived in the Tianlongdimu Valley. Naturally, they were late to learn about what was happening in the martial arts world. Wuyazi had no way of knowing the news that Su Xinghe didn't know.
Wuyazi continued, "Good boy, you don't have to tell me all those things just now. Why did you hide them from me?"
The fact that Duan Yu possessed the "Northern Divine Art" could certainly not be concealed, but things like "he had already become a disciple and joined the sect" could be kept secret.
Duan Yu said solemnly, "My master has taught me a lot, saying that some things can be told as white lies, while other things must be told openly and honestly. My master has already told me that if I am lucky enough to meet Senior Wuyazi and he wants to accept me as his disciple, I must first inform you of these things so that you can make further plans."
Wuyazi smiled and said, "Master, you are truly a man of high character, and you are also a good child. Good child, you will not lie to me. I will also tell you clearly that I accept you as my disciple because I have an important task for you to do."
Duan Yu was kindhearted and always willing to help others. He said, "As long as you don't let me do evil and harm good people, even if you don't accept me as your disciple, I can still do things for you."
Wuyazi's face flashed with bitterness, and he asked, "If there is someone in the world who does things that harm others, is cruel and vicious, and kills countless people, and I ask you to kill him, would it be considered "doing evil", would you agree?"
Duan Yu straightened up and said in a clear voice: "A gentleman should suppress evil and promote good. My master has always taught me that subduing demons and eliminating harm is what we martial artists should do. If it is as you said, it is not 'doing evil', but rather 'a great good deed'. I should do my best."
Wuyazi looked delighted and said, "Very good, very good! I want you to get rid of a person, a very evil person, that is my second disciple Ding Chunqiu, who is known as the Starry Old Monster in the martial arts world today."
"Back then, this traitor colluded with my junior sister and suddenly attacked me, throwing me into a deep valley. I was unprepared and nearly lost my life. Fortunately, my junior sister found her conscience and stopped him from doing more harm, and my eldest disciple Su Xinghe pretended to be deaf and dumb and tempted me with our sect's various secret techniques. Only then did I survive and live another thirty years."
"Ding Chunqiu only thought that I had already been killed by him, so he acted recklessly. He has been causing trouble to the world over the years and has killed so many people. It's all because I taught him martial arts. I will not rest in peace until I get rid of this man."
Duan Yu said with a smile: "Although I have just started my career in the martial arts world and have only been here for a short time, I have heard of the notoriety of 'Starry Old Monster' Ding Chunqiu. Don't worry, senior. I will definitely get rid of him."
Wuyazi laughed and said, "Good! Good! Good boy, I set up the 'Zhenlong Chess Game' in order to find talented people. I only hope to find a smart and dedicated disciple to be my last disciple. I will teach him all my life's martial arts and send him to kill Ding Chunqiu."
"In the past thirty years, although this chess game has not been made public, Xinghe has invited many people to come privately. However, opportunities are hard to come by. Smart people with bad natures may repeat the mistakes of raising a tiger and causing trouble. Good people with good natures may not be able to understand. I am about to die, and the deadline is approaching. Fortunately, you are here. It is God's will."
(Fang Muye: “??? Is this God’s will? Isn’t this what I meant?”)
"Like me, you practiced the North Sea Divine Art of my Xiaoyao Sect. I can see that you have reached a certain level of skill and have mastered my skills. You can solve my chess game, so your intelligence is extraordinary. You are kind and honest, have excellent character, and are handsome. You deserve to be my last disciple."
At this point, Wuyazi's eyebrows relaxed and he said solemnly: "Good boy, kneel down and kowtow. I want to accept you as my disciple!"
