Chapter 6: Meeting Master (A)

Shaw Danon awoke, startled for a moment then slowly sat up; the things that had happened over the past rushed into his heart like the tides onto the shore.

Feels like waking up from a nightmare!

"You've woken up; that's good." A voice issued from the door; a person entered.

Shaw Danon looked up and recognized that he was Xavion, the disciple he had seen in Peak of Widow. In his mind, seeing familiar people, he felt slightly warmer.

"Song big brother." Shaw Danon cried.

Although Xavion is a large fellow, his heart cannot help but feel sorrow. He went to the bed, touched Shaw Danon's head, said softly: "xiao shidi, don't be sad; from now on, we are one big family."

Shaw Danon not understanding, asked: "What family?"

Xavion smiled and told him that Tian Bolis had adopted him as a disciple. Of course, the minor conflict between the Jadeon elders during the day at the Peak of Widow's Crystal Hall, he will never learn of.

Shaw Danon listened, feeling a bit lost. Jadeon, in such a farm boy's eyes, are like immortals; never having thought for one day that he will have the opportunity to join Jadeon. However, the price is not what he would have willingly paid for it.

He grit his teeth, feeling that it's useless to think about the matter any longer. Then he said: "Song Shixiong."

Xavion smiled, nodded, said: "Good. Xiao Shidi, you have slept for a day and night; you are probably hungry, right?"

Shaw Danon did not think that he was; but, after Xavion asked this, his stomach growled twice.

Xavion laughed: "Come, Xiao Shidi, we will eat something first, and then you can learn a bit about our faction; after, you can go see master and shi niang, and the other shixiongs."

Shaw Danon nodded his head then got out of bed. Noticing the room he is in is quite similar to Peak of Widow Jadeon disciples' room, but it seemed even larger.

Xavion walked with him as he explained: "Bamboo Peak is different from the other houses in Jadeon. We have very few people, the total number of people is ten, including you, so the room is larger." Walking to the entrance there is also a similar small courtyard. Once out of the yard, there is also a hallway; but, there is only a dozen houses, far less than Peak of Widow.

Shaw Dannon followed Xavion toward the kitchen. Learning from his speech, Bamboo Peak has stood since Master Jade Leaf, reaching Tian Bolis' hands now as the sixth generation; has always been the same way, not many people. Now the elders, except Master Tian Bolis, remain only as Shishu Surin, wife of Tian Bolis. The two have a daughter, Hidi, thirteen years old, two years older than Shaw Dannon; as such, Shaw Dannon is the true Xiao Shidi.

Among all of the disciples of Tian Bolis, Xavion is the oldest shixiong, following him is Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Ludaxin, and Dubishu.

Shaw Danon trying his best to remember: "Oh, Dayi shixiong, Dali shixiong, Dazhi shixiong, Daxin shixiong, Dashu shixiong......"

Xavion laughed: "it's Dubishu shixiong."

Shaw Danon was slightly startled, then realizing, asked: "Why isn't sixth shixiong the same?"

Xavion said: "Originally, he was indeed called Dashu, but you say that again and listen to it."

Shaw Dannon murmured: "Dudashu, Dudashu, Uncle Du... ..." then understood and began laughing.

Xavion also laughed: "You know, in fact, master does not really care about it. However, shi niang is very annoyed and, after a few times, she said how Du shidi does not respect his master and that he needed to learn some lessons; the Du shidi was scared half to death and quickly asked master and shi niang to provide a new name for him. Later, shi niang gave him the name 'Dubishu.' Say this name a few more times."

Shaw Danon lightly said: "Dubishu, Dubishu, gambling must lose ... ..." broke out in laughter so hard that he bent himself forward.

Xavion had originally planned to make him laugh, perhaps it would help diminish his feelings of grief; seeing Shaw Danon happy, he smiles: "Sixth shidi was really addicted to gambling before he arrived her. Later, by chance, master brought him here; although he does not gamble anymore, he usually loves to put bets down for fun, shi niang doing this is also a warning."

Shaw Danon smiled, the mournful mood had been softened a lot. Also seeing da shixiong is so kind, the fear of the future also gradually settled down.

After eating in the kitchen, Xavion took Shaw Danon to the Bamboo Peak's main hall "Hall of Quietude." All of the people from Jadeon's Bamboo Peak at the moment are all in the Hall of Quietude. Paved with red bricks, red tiles and stone pillars; a "Tai Chi" carved on the ground, everything is simple.

There are two people seated on chairs, one is Tian Bolis, the second person is a quiet, graceful woman of about thirty; there is an adorable little girl standing beside her with a pair of watery bright eyes.

The other five male disciples lined up, standing below, tall or short, strong or thin, at that moment all of their eyes were peering at Shaw Danon.

Xavion stepped up and said respectfully: "master, shi niang, disciple has brought Xiao Shidi here."

Tian Bolis snorted, slightly impatient, Surin looked at Shaw Danon, said: "Daren, he had slept for a day and a night. I fear he is hungry, you should take him to eat something first."

Xavion said: "In reply to Shi niang, I had just went to the kitchen with Xiao Shidi."

Surin nodded, looked at Tian Bolis, no longer speaking. Tian Bolis snorted again, said: "let's begin."

Shaw Danon, uncertain what to do, heard Xavion whisper behind him: "Xiao Shidi, quickly kneel down and kowtow to master."

Shaw Danon immediately knelt down, "dong dong dong" kowtowed more than ten times in a row, heavily and loudly.

"Ha ha." Hidi, the little girl could not help laughing. Surin smile: "Good boy, nine times is enough."

Shaw Danon replied "Oh," then stopped and looked up. People saw his large, red forehead; could not help laughing aloud. However, in Tian Bolis' eyes, Shaw Danon was so stupid that he could not even be more stupid; the thought of teaching another idiot in the future, his large head seems to grow slightly bigger.

"Well, that's it," Tian Bolis was in a very bad mood, waving: "Daren, you take care of him first, teach him the rules of our faction and some basic methods of Taoism."

Xavion answered: "Yes," hesitated, then said, "But Master, xiao shidi was still little, this entry disciple's homework ... ..."

Tian Bolis rolled his eyes, responded: "do it." Stood up, and, without looking back, went to the back hall; all the disciples bowed together, said: "escort master."

After Tian Bolis left, and before anyone said anything, the little girl Hidi already jumped in front of Shaw Danon and started staring at him closely. Shaw Danon, seeing her cute face in front of his eyes, although still young, but already beautiful; when he was in Grasstemple Village, he had never seen such a beautiful girl around his age. He could not help blushing.

"Ha," Hidi seeming like she had found a treasure, pointing to Shaw Danon, laughed out loud: "shixiongs, you see, he blushes when he sees me."

Bursts of laughter filled the hall, Shaw Danon's face became even more red. Surin came over and said: "Ling'er, don't make fun of shidi."

Hidi made a face, but does not take her mother's words into mind; standing straight up she tells Shaw Danon: "Hey, call me shijie."

Shaw Danon's heart was angry, but seeing Hidi's bright eyes and beautiful body, his heart grew confused, can not help but respond: "shijie."

Hidi was always the youngest in Bamboo Peak, but now she has gained a shidi that is younger than her, she was very happy. She was pretending to be an elder in front of Shaw Danon, said: "Good boy, xiao shidi, you need to listen to shijie oh."
