After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 48 48. Senior Brother

Late night
The main peak of Shadow Peak, the dungeon.

Bi Huaiyi, who was still in shock, was subjected to a very direct "soul search".

If it were someone else, he would have been tortured before that.

But this is Master Shi’s Taoist companion after all, so he still needs to be treated with respect.

Shi Zuo Weng stood aside and watched coldly.

Gu Tianyang retracted his fingers, raised his head, frowned, as if digesting the information he had just seen, then glanced at Shi Zuo Weng and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits. She is not demented, but she will not be able to practice from now on, and her brain will occasionally have some minor problems."

Shi Zuo Weng said with a gloomy face: "Then we have to thank Master Gu Feng for showing mercy."

Gu Tianyang suddenly couldn't help laughing so hard that the fire in the corner of the wall trembled, and the shadows of several people on the stone wall became distorted and changed, sometimes bright, sometimes dark, sometimes long, sometimes short.

Shizuo Weng asked, "Master Gu Feng, are you still going to laugh at me?"

Gu Tianyang smiled and said, "If you knew what I saw in her memory, you would hate me for not killing her."

After saying that, he suddenly frowned, stared at the serious old man not far away, and asked: "Did you know that she wanted to poison you? And it happened in these few days."

Shi Zuo Weng stood there in a daze, his pupils somewhat frozen, his expression slowly showing some sadness, then he lowered his head and sighed self-deprecatingly, then shook his head and said "I really don't know", then asked: "Have you found out the cause of Feng'er's death?"

Gu Tianyang looked profound, but shook his head and said, "No."

The air fell silent.

Gu Tianyang waved his hand and suddenly said, "Master Shi, don't think too much. You are old, so go and have a good rest. The sect master is still looking forward to you training a new generation of leather masters for the sect."

Shi Zuo Weng nodded slightly, stepped forward to support Bi Huaiyi, and said softly, "Let's go."

Bi Huaiyi's body trembled violently, his unfocused pupils looked around in panic, his fingers grasped around like a drowning person, and when he touched the old man's clothes, he grabbed them tightly and never let go.

Shi Zuo Weng smiled gently, then took her hand and slowly left the gloomy and dark dungeon.

In the dungeon.
Gu Tianyang had a sinister look on his face, and murmured, "Bi Huaiyi and Feng'er wanted to poison you, and what they wanted was actually to take away your legacy.

But if I ask you why you don't pass on your mantle to Feng'er, you will definitely say some nonsense like "it's not the right time yet" or "it's just for a few days".

Then why don't you pass on your legacy to Feng'er?
When the wind dies, you will be the one who benefits the most!
You escaped a disaster after a few days.

What secret do you have?

Yoshihisa
“Now I still need you to train a leather master. If I touch you, the sect master will not be able to get around me.

But wait another two years, until you are a little older. I will have to search your soul too, so I can see what is going on! Dirty old thing!"

The next day.

The detoxification pill was delivered to Song Yan, who put it into his storage space. Then he and Wang Susu went to pay a visit to the current head of Nanzhu Peak, Shizuoweng.

However, I didn't meet it.

So, Song Yan and Wang Susu went to the leather-making cave with ease, but when they arrived at the door, Wang Susu went in and Song Yan was stopped.

The disciple who was blocking the door smiled and looked at him, saying, "What was Song Song? I don't remember, it's not important! I've heard about your story. You were distracted while listening to Master Shi's class. Master Shi hasn't forgiven you yet! Wait until he forgives you, then you can come in again."

This is a person who tries hard to flatter the peak master and at the same time wants to establish his authority here through every little thing.

Wang Susu, who had just walked through the door, paused.

When she spoke, three or four disciples in the leather workshop stood up together.

These disciples all survived the war, so they are naturally tied together and full of hostility.

In their eyes, people like Song Yan and Wang Susu who went out to avoid disaster were naturally from another circle and needed to be stepped on. After all, who was the senior brother and who was the junior brother on the mountain was still undecided.

The air was a little tense for a moment.

At this moment, a disciple's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master Shi, call everyone!"

Song Yan looked at the disciple who was blocking the door, then turned and left.

After Master Shi returned with Bi Huaiyi, he immediately called his disciples together, then took out paper and pen and waited quietly without even looking at Song Yan.

The disciples stood in a circle and waited, not daring to speak.

After a while, many formal disciples came and walked to the place close to Master Shi and saluted respectfully. These people were all new leather masters or quasi-leather masters of the main peak of the Shadow Pipe Peak, all of whom were trained during the war.

When Master Shi saw that everyone was present, he pasted the stickers on the stone wall and began to teach the art of painting skin himself.

"Painting the skin requires spirit. Only by understanding the spirit can one paint on paper. I will show you how to do it. Watch carefully."

Then he grabbed the paintbrush.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed from a frail old man into a man full of strength.

Everyone watched quietly.

After the painting is finished, there is another round of questions and answers.

Then Master Shi said, "I came to Nanzhu Peak because this place is full of new blood from our Shadow Play Peak, but we still need to decide on the order of seniority. It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day."

After saying that, he clapped his hands. Except for the disciples from the main peak of Puying Peak, every disciple from Nanzhu Peak was given a piece of paper and pen.

Master Shi said, "You have drawn the two-headed wolf the most, so today we will use this painting to determine the order of superiority. The one who draws the best painting will have the longest time in one hour." The topic was laid down.

Everyone lowered their heads and began to paint with all their might.

Song Yan thought about his strength five years ago, and then improved it a little bit, then slowly drew it out, and it took him nearly an hour to finish it, and then hurriedly "handed in the paper" with a sigh on his face. When Wang Susu came to ask, he just said "It's not finished." The disciple who blocked the door before looked at him with a sneer, and then looked into the distance expectantly.

And it didn't take long for the judge to come out. Master Shi picked up a piece of drawing paper and commented: "This is the best!" Everyone looked and it was Song Yan's. The disciple who blocked the door turned pale and murmured "Impossible, impossible". But then he took a deep breath, ran over and bowed his head and called "Senior Brother Song". Song Yan nodded, and the previous grudge was resolved.

Not far away, Master Shi looked at Song Yan, as if recalling something. After a long while, he frowned and said, "I remember now. Aren't you the disciple who didn't listen to the class seriously in Linglong Valley that day?"

Song Yan said with shame and fear: "Disciple knows his mistake."

Master Shi snorted coldly and said, "Forget it. Now is the time for our sect to recruit people. You need to do your best and become a leather master as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Come, let me introduce you to some fellow disciples." Master Shi waved his hand.

Three of the formal disciples of Shadow Play Peak who were standing nearby suddenly walked out, two men and one woman.

"Big Brother, the essay."

As his name suggests, he is well-mannered and refined.

"Second Senior Sister, Jin Yuntian."

She has a pretty face, but I don’t know if she is as charming as Wang Susu.

"Third Senior Brother, who is also my adopted son, Shi Peng."

He has a simple and honest face and is very respectful to Master Shi.

"These are all what I have collected in the past few years. The previous ones have all gone to the evil places. You have some talent. You should get closer to the brothers and sisters in the future."

A few days later.
late at night.

Moonlight high
After Song Yan returned to the cave, a pitch-black crow flew out from the shadows and landed on the stone table.

Song Yan knew that this bodyless phantom crow had just entered the cave with him.

He sat down beside the stone table and looked at the crow.

The crow made an old voice: "Don't you recognize me?"

Song Yan called out affectionately, "Teacher."

The crow said coldly: "Draw a two-headed wolf again!"

Song Yan smiled, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a few more words based on what he had shown before. Then he let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that the teacher would find out that day."

Crow frowned and said, "Redraw it!"

Song Yan finished the painting again in a blink of an eye. This time he continued to improve it a few points, and then said: "This is the full strength of my disciple."

The crow squinted at him and said, "Draw again!"

Song Yan thought about it, and then carefully raised another point. He looked focused and finished the painting meticulously. Then he wiped the sweat off his face, looked at the crow, and then looked at his own painting with fiery eyes, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that I could perform beyond my normal level in front of the teacher. Is this really something I can draw?!"

crow:.
He always remembered the two brilliant and perfect starting strokes in his many drawings of the two-headed wolf five years ago.

It was these two strokes that made him pass on his legacy.

However, although Song Yan's paintings at this time were excellent, they did not reach that level.

It stared at the drawing quietly with its bird eyes, then sighed, "The old man has already stepped half of his foot into the coffin, can't you just let me be happy for a moment?"

Song Yan was silent for a moment, then picked up the pen and drew a circle.

Half of a wolf's eye appeared on the paper, eerie and cold, just like the eyes of a real monster in the vast snow forest.

Unfortunately, what follows is just a poor imitation.

Seeing that the "dog's tail" has been exposed.

The crow suddenly realized the disciple's intention, kicked out with one claw, kicked the brush in Song Yan's hand away, and then shouted angrily: "Don't draw, don't draw! I already understand!!"

Song Yan scratched his head innocently.

The crow stood up again and admired the half eye.

At this moment, he understood: the mantle was not passed on in the wrong way! This kid, with his amazing talent and the ability to hide his shortcomings, is the perfect candidate to inherit his mantle! The heights he can reach in the future will definitely be higher than his!
Subsequently
The crow continued to explain: "Wenshu, Jin Yuntian has a background in the sect. I made this arrangement because I want you to have some background so that you won't be bullied in the future. As for Shi Peng."

It sighed softly and said in a complicated tone: "I rescued him from the dead, and I gave him his life.

He has talent, but not much.

I adopted him as my adopted son, and I have other uses for him. You don't have to befriend him."

Song Yan didn't ask the reason and replied directly: "Yes, teacher."

The crow looked gentle, kindly looking at the "little fellow" in front of him, and said: "Your cave is too deserted, bring the abridged version of "Mysterious Energy Guiding Technique" to the leather-making chores room tomorrow to teach the technique, and bring back a furnace by the way.

When the furnace and cauldron are used up, go pick a new one. If you don’t pick one first, no one else can pick one.”

Song Yan was stunned.
Things are changing, he is going to become an even more evil version of Brother Zhang.
