Chapter 17 Monthly Subscription
"Master, can you lend it to me to read for a while? Although I don't recognize any of the words on it, the illustrations are quite interesting!" Ye Fei said reluctantly.
"Ahem..." Wang Ergou coughed twice and looked at Ye Fei with disgust: "You don't recognize a single word?"
"I don't recognize him!" Ye Fei shook his head.
"You pretend to know when you don't!" Wang Ergou said disdainfully.
Fortunately, he is illiterate.
Otherwise it would be a laughing stock.
"How could the Ye family teach such a useless person like you! You can't even understand a single word of such a good book, isn't that a pity!" Wang Ergou curled his lips righteously:
"Forget it. If you can't read, I'll teach you the formula later. Now I'll tell you some basic principles of Taoism..."
"Taoist cultivation emphasizes three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit!"
"It is important to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, and refine emptiness into the Tao..."
"The three elements of essence, qi and spirit are interrelated and transform into each other. If they exist, they exist; if they die, they die. Essence turns into qi, qi turns into spirit, and spirit nourishes essence..."
"Now, follow me to recite the formula of the Thousand Immortal Sect's Heavenly Secrets Great Law... Close your eyes and sit in deep meditation, hold your fist and meditate. Crack your teeth thirty-six times, and hold Kunlun with both hands. Beat the heavenly drums left and right, and listen to them twenty-four times. Slightly shake the pillars of heaven, and the red dragon will stir the water..."
"Okay, go sit cross-legged under the sun, and try to breathe in and out according to the breathing method I just mentioned while you recite it. Remember, when you first start learning the breathing method, you must exhale completely and inhale fully..."
That day, Ye Fei sat cross-legged in the sun for the entire day. Not only did he start practicing breathing exercises, he didn't even remember all the techniques.
He was a poor student to begin with, and had a terrible memory when he was in school. As for memorizing things, from elementary school to high school, he was always one of those who was forced to leave school because he couldn't memorize the books at the end.
What's more, the mantras of Tianji Dafa became more and more profound and mysterious as time went on, so how could he remember them all?
Seeing that the sun had already set, Wang Ergou walked up to Ye Fei and said, "Forget it, let's stop here today!"
After saying that, Wang Ergou took out a small notebook without Ye Fei being surprised.
Ye Fei looked at him expressionlessly. He wanted to hear what new tricks this old guy could come up with.
Sure enough, Wang Ergou did not disappoint him at all, and really came up with a new idea: "Venue wear and tear fee, one day, ten spirit stones."
Ye Fei stood up and took a look at the bluestone floor where he had been sitting for a day. "Well, it's worn out quite a lot! If I sit here for another 100 million years, it will definitely be worn away! Are there any more? Write them down, write them all down, don't miss any!"
Wang Ergou looked up at the setting sun and said, "It's too hot today. Master has worked hard for you all day. I think you should give him some compensation, right?"
Ye Fei: “…”
Are you still working hard with sweat?
You've been sitting in the shade of a tree all day and you're almost catching a cold. What the hell are you sweating about?
Besides, even if I sweat, what the hell does it have to do with me?
I would tolerate any high temperature allowance you ask for, at least it sounds better, but you want sweat money...
"Write it down! Write it all down!" Ye Fei pointed at the notebook: "Anything else?"
"Hehe..." Wang Ergou seemed a little embarrassed himself. He smiled and looked at the pot of tea on the stone table under the tree.
"Tea money, right? It's my duty! I'll put it down, all of it! Anything else?"
"Look, Master has been teaching you how to practice martial arts today, and has done nothing else all day..."
Ye Fei: “…”
What do you mean?
Look at his tone, does he still want compensation for lost wages?
Uncle, you accept disciples and teach them kung fu, but you also charge them for the money, and in the end you still want to charge them for lost wages?
If you were afraid that it would affect your other work, you shouldn't have hired me then!
If you hadn't accepted me, why would I have to suffer this?
"I've got it all. Anything else?"
“Not this time!”
"Think about it carefully, don't miss it..."
"Forget about the rest..."
Thank you so much!
……
That night, I had another expensive dinner.
Anyway, Ye Fei has become numb and doesn't care anymore, so let him remember it.
After dinner, Wang Ergou asked Ye Fei to keep watch again.
It was said that starting from tonight, Ye Fei would be on duty in the first half of every night, and Zheng Dao would be on duty in the second half.
This is exactly what Ye Fei wanted.
Ye Fei stood at the door until about 11 o'clock in the evening. He heard that Wang Ergou and Zheng Dao seemed to have not made any movement for a long time. They must have fallen asleep.
So he threw away his backpack and ran down the mountain.
However, before he ran out of the bamboo forest at the door, he was caught up by Zheng Dao.
But that night Ye Fei was not afraid at all, he actually fought back against Zheng Dao.
It's a pity that it was because he fought back and punched Zheng Dao a few times that the end result was that he was bitten much worse than before.
When Zheng Dao dragged that guy back, a long bloodstain was left on the ground from the bamboo forest to Wang Ergou's house...
That night, Wang Ergou seemed a little embarrassed. After applying medicine to Ye Fei and recording the bill, he kindly advised Ye Fei earnestly: "Son, if you run every day like this, I'm afraid your father may not be able to afford your medical expenses in the future."
"Is it your business? The Ye family has plenty of money!"
……
Silent all night.
When Ye Fei woke up the next morning, he secretly warned himself: "Damn it, I must be smarter today and not be as stupid as yesterday! When we drink the porridge later, I will add whatever they add, even if they add shit!"
Ye Fei quickly came to the door of Wang Ergou's house and found that Wang Ergou and Zheng Dao had started eating again.
This time he was more careful and did not rush to get the bowl to serve the porridge. Instead, he stared at them intently for a long time and found that this time they did not add anything to the porridge while eating.
This time it should be okay, right?
Ye Fei finally felt at ease to serve his meal and start drinking.
However, what he never dreamed of was that he was eventually caught as expected.
The reason for the attack was that before he went there, Wang Ergou and Zheng Dao drank a bowl of water in advance, and that bowl of water was mixed with one of the medicinal powders of Qianbao Congee. The two of them had collected the 1,000 kinds of medicinal materials for Qianbao Congee, and Ye Fei, who only drank porridge, naturally missed one medicine.
The most infuriating thing was that Wang Ergou asked him proudly at the time: "Kid, you can't avoid these fifty spirit stones for detoxification every morning. If it really doesn't work, how about you take care of the detoxification every morning for a month, and I'll give you a discount. This way you don't have to be poisoned every day, you can reduce a lot of pain, and I can save a lot of trouble..."
"Monthly subscription?"
I'll take care of you, your ancestors...
Am I addicted to the monthly subscription?
Why don't you say annual package?
Let me open a VIP membership and get poisoned?
Am I sick?
"How much is the monthly subscription? I have bags, bags, bags..."
