Naruto Alchemist

Chapter 129
Accepting apprentices on behalf of teachers?

It was the first time for Sangzhu to hear this kind of statement, and he also found it very fresh, "What is it about accepting apprentices on behalf of teachers?"

Duanmu chuckled, "Accepting apprentices on behalf of teachers, that is, your father Sato Tokisada accepted me as an apprentice on behalf of his master, so we became brothers in name."

"After becoming a nominal senior brother, your father began to teach and instruct me on blacksmithing. Because the master is not around, the senior brother taught me the skills." Duanmu had a smile full of memories on his face, "At first, I really thought your father was accepting apprentices on behalf of a teacher, but after I checked, it was purely your father's nonsense about accepting apprentices on behalf of a teacher, and your father didn't have a master at all."

"But your father refused to admit it. He insisted on saying that there is a master, and he also said that the master's name is Celsus or something. It is a nonsense name, but I also accept this favor."

Speaking of this, Duanmu hammered his chest and smiled, "That's why I have been claiming to be your father's disciple for so many years, but I haven't told others that I am actually a brother with him, because In my heart, Shizhen is my master."

"You are Shizhen's child, so I won't hide anything from you." Duanmu said with a smile, "But this matter, as long as you know and I know, don't talk about it."

Duanmu should be in his forties, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is good at words. He didn't say much during the meeting just now, and his disciple You basically helped reply.

However, at this time, with only Sangsuke and him, he seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and kept talking to Sangsuke about the past, how difficult it was during the war, how hard it was to learn forging, and When Sato Tokisada taught him how many troubles the two of them had caused together.

Duanmu kept talking, while Sangzhu sat beside him and listened to Duanmu's talk. Originally, Sangzhu could keep up with Duanmu's rhythm with a smile. , Sangzhu couldn't keep up with his brain circuit at all, and within a while, Sangzhu was teased by him and fainted.

"I still remember your father told me before, when you encounter strange things, the first reaction is to stay away, and don't lean over."

After another topic jump, Duanmu said: "Shizhen said that he had encountered a strange thing before. There was a guy like a cult organization who crazily sold him some strange things and kept rambling on, but Shizhen is a person with great perseverance, no matter how extravagant the guy said, he just gritted his teeth and refused to agree, so you have to be like your father, you can't just agree to strange things, you know?"

Regarding Duanmu's words, Sangzhu could only nod blankly, because Duanmu's thinking jump was really scary.

From cooking to forging, from forging to women, from women to politics, and finally from politics to the hemorrhoids in his own buttocks, this series of information and topic changes, Sangzhu couldn't keep up at all, and finally he He could only keep nodding, nodding, nodding with confused eyes.

Occasionally, "Yes, that's right" can pop out of my mouth.

"I said Sangzhu, have you learned alchemy?" Duanmu asked abruptly.

"That's right." Sangsuke nodded.

and many more?

Sangzhu a wit, just seemed to hear some strange words.

Looking up at Duanmu, at this time Duanmu is sitting upright, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, his eyes are full of jokes when he looks at Sangzhu, he is completely different from the myth chatter just now.

I've been tricked? !

Sangzhu was shocked, but he still controlled the expression on his face, pretending to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the alchemy I created to spread so far, even the famous city knows about it."

"I'm not talking about the alchemy you created." Duanmu had a half-smile expression, "I'm talking about the alchemy you, Sato Sangsuke learned."

"When I saw the weapons auctioned by Sato's family at the auction, I knew that you had mastered alchemy." Duanmu looked at Sangsuke and smiled, "Don't rush to deny it, I have no malicious intentions, I Not an alchemist, I just happen to know something about alchemy."

"That's why I agreed to Taniguchi's invitation to come to Sato's house to meet you." Duanmu's eyes were a little sad.

"After all, you are Shizhen's child. I can't watch you take a path that Shizhen doesn't want you to take."

"My father...doesn't want me to go on the road?" Sangzhu smiled, "Father, isn't he also an alchemist?"

"I don't want you to use words like an alchemist to describe him." Duanmu shook his head and said, "You can say that Sato Shizhen is a good man, an excellent ninja, and a great blacksmith."

"But you can't use the word alchemist to describe him, this is the biggest stain on him."

"How could he not be an alchemist?" Sangzhu retorted, "I have seen the gate of truth, I know it, father, he has also seen the gate of truth, he has seen the snow-white human figure, if he does not understand alchemy at all, How could he see"

"it's me."

Duanmu interrupted Sangzhu's words, looking at Sangzhu's surprised eyes, he smiled miserably, "I was the one who couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to peek into that forbidden door."

"Shi Zhen was just involved."

Looking at Sangzhu's blank eyes, Duanmu sighed, "It happened in July 12 years ago. I vaguely remember that it was a hot summer, very hot."

"That was the second year I followed Shi Zhen to practice forging."

"My forging talent is not very good. Even after studying with a forging wizard like Shi Zhen for two years, it didn't improve my forging skills."

"According to Shizhen, the difficulty of improving means that my forging technique has reached the bottleneck. If I want to break through the bottleneck, there is no shortcut. I can only forge continuously, relying on the accumulation of forging experience to break through the bottleneck."

"Back then, I was a bit crazy and suspicious, so I didn't believe his words. I just thought he was hiding something for himself, and he didn't want to teach me all the skills. There is a saying in the forging world that teaches the apprentice and starves the master. Therefore, when many blacksmiths teach their disciples, they will deliberately reserve a hand."

"I always felt that Shizhen was playing tricks and didn't want to teach me, fearing that I would surpass him in forging, so I began to pay attention to Shizhen's every move."

"Finally, one day, I discovered Shizhen's secret."

"Shizhen, he would close the doors and windows every night, even in very hot summer, he would close the doors and windows, and then hide in the room alone, not knowing what to do."
