Chapter 25: The Ins and Outs
Landing steadily, Ye Chenfeng looked around and found that all the desolate scenes of the original Fang Cai were just mirrors, and the cellar below was the place where the willows and flowers were bright.
Ye Chenfeng walked quickly to the depths of the cellar as he said, and finally saw the strange old man in coarse linen clothes again.
He was secretly pleasantly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said respectfully: "Junior Ye Chenfeng, I have seen my senior!"
The old man waved his hand casually, and looked at Ye Chenfeng with a smile, obviously an informal person.
It's just that this smile, no matter how you look at it, looks like a cunning old fox.
Ye Chenfeng took a step back and looked at the old man cautiously, not knowing why. The old man's eyes gave him a creepy weird feeling, and he subconsciously wanted to keep a safe distance from the old man.
The old man smiled: "Boy, you can come here today because you have a great fate with the old man." This apprenticeship is a foregone conclusion. ”
Ye Chenfeng rolled his eyes angrily, this old man was so unreasonable. If it wasn't for the old man's intention, how could he come to this place.
Moreover, how could the overall situation of this apprenticeship have already been decided? The old man did not discuss with him, and he could not find any truth in identifying him as his apprentice without such empty words.
The old man also knew that it was indeed difficult for a strong man to forcibly accept an apprentice with just one sentence, so he changed the topic instead: "Boy, how much do you know about Xuangangyan?"
"If the seniors don't mention it, the juniors don't even know that the black rock is called Xuangang Rock. Ye Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, but still confided in the truth.
The old man was not surprised by this answer, he smiled, very satisfied with Ye Chenfeng's sincerity: "Hey, hey, boy, the carving method of the yin and yang fish pattern in the Xuangang Rock was obtained by the old man unintentionally. The special feature of the Yin and Yang fish pattern grade assessment, you must already know it when you absorb it.
There are three unique features of the yin-yang fish pattern. One is the infinite possibilities for grading them.
Second, the Yin and Yang Fish Pattern transcends the attributes of the five elements, and carving it into any attribute of the spirit weapon will not produce rejection.
Third, if the yin and yang fish patterns can be successfully carved, a sense of balance can be produced. With this balance, it can help the refiner speed up the fusion process, which is a fatal temptation for any refiner. ”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, he was no stranger to this.
Next, the old man's words made him a little surprised: "It's a pity that the carving method of the yin and yang fish pattern that the old man got back then was not complete, and it could only produce a significant increase for refiners below the sixth grade. Further up, it can only achieve little effect.
However, the old man was already pleasantly surprised to find such a magical weapon pattern. The old man was also promoted to the fifth-grade refiner by virtue of the yin and yang fish pattern. ”
Ye Chenfeng looked up and down in shock, this lean old man with an unattractive appearance. This old man turned out to be a fifth-grade refiner?
But no matter how you look at it, the person in front of you can't connect with the noble transcendence of the Five-Rank Refiner.
The old man couldn't help but look proud, and the wine trough nose on the old man's face was slightly raised. He stroked his goatee and assumed the proud posture of a worldly master.
Ye Chenfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes again, such a skinless and faceless master is really not easy to meet.
But he thought about it, as if he had caught something, so he pressed the helplessness in his heart, pinched his nose and asked: "Senior, why does the carving method of yin and yang fish patterns exist in the Xuangang rock, and how should the yin and yang plate in the palm of the younger generation be explained?"
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had asked the point, the old man coughed lightly and cut to the topic: "The old man wanted to accept an apprentice, so he sealed the carving method of the yin and yang fish pattern in five Xuangang rocks, and then scattered it to all corners of Tianyun Academy. If anyone can crack the secret of the Xuangang Rock, they can naturally absorb the Yin Yang Fish Pattern that is sealed in it, and then practice it.
Only by practicing the yin and yang fish pattern can you be qualified and must be the old man's apprentice.
The first four Xuangang rocks were not able to crack their secrets, and they were all abandoned and disappeared.
The last piece of Xuangang Rock happened to be picked up by a student of the Instrument Pavilion, but he was unable to crack it, and as a result, it was repeatedly tossed and turned into your kid's hands.
When the old man met you that day, he noticed that the last piece of Xuangang Rock was placed in your storage ring. So the old man kept an eye on you, and never thought that you would really crack it.
There are so many cheap things in the world, everything has a price.
Since you kid has obtained the carving method of the old man's yin and yang fish pattern, you naturally want to be the old man's apprentice. Otherwise, the old man had no choice but to take back the yin and yang fish pattern. ”
Speaking of this, a hint of threat appeared in the old man's eyes. He saw that Ye Chenfeng would not give up the yin and yang fish pattern no matter what, so he would be so fearless.
Ye Chenfeng felt a chill in his heart, how could this old man be so arrogant. If he doesn't want to worship the old man as a teacher, does he really want to hand over the yin and yang fish pattern?
But now that he knew the strangeness of the yin and yang fish pattern, how could he give it up so easily?
For a moment, Ye Chenfeng, who was in a dilemma, was silent, he didn't know what to say. The Flame Blood-Patterned Tiger didn't say a word, and it was all up to Ye Chenfeng to make his own decisions.
After grasping Ye Chenfeng's vital point, the old man was even more tidy, and then said with a smile: "As for the yin and yang plate, it was obtained by the old man when he obtained the yin and yang fish pattern. The two are originally accompanied, and only when they complement each other can they truly give full play to the wonderful use of yin and yang fish patterns.
The old man wanted to accept apprentices, so naturally he would not hide his secrets, so he rubbed a copy of the yin and yang plates and sealed them into the Xuangang Rock. ”
Ye Chenfeng, who was reluctant, grasped the point mentioned in the old man's words, and asked unwillingly: "Why do the seniors want to accept apprentices, and why do they have to accept me as apprentices?
Besides, even if the younger generation doesn't worship the seniors as teachers, but uses other conditions to exchange the yin and yang fish pattern, isn't it okay?"
The old man was on fire in his heart, and he said with a thin anger: "Why do you kid not know what to do, how much loss will you suffer if you worship a five-grade refiner as a teacher?" The old man just had a reason for it, and he didn't have much time to refine the Xuangang Rock to recruit apprentices.
Otherwise, with your mediocre qualifications, the old man still can't look down on it. ”
Ye Chenfeng touched his nose, he was not annoyed by the old man's cynicism, he just wanted to find out what was going on, so that even if he worshipped the old man as a teacher, he would be willing.
He coughed lightly and asked patiently: "The seniors must not be angry with the juniors, the juniors don't want to worship a person of unknown origin as a teacher at will, so as not to cause trouble." What did the seniors say just now happen for a reason?"
The old man sighed, and finally told the truth reluctantly: "It seems that if the old man doesn't tell you the cause and effect, it is impossible to accept you as an apprentice."
I never thought that at your age, you would be as pedantic and stubborn as Old Man Zhou.
The old man's name is Li Xuan, and you can call the old man Li Lao. The old man was handsome and extraordinary when he was young, and he was an unborn refining genius in the Instrument Pavilion, and at the age of twenty, he had reached the fourth grade refiner. These records have never been broken by the students of the Instrument Pavilion so far. Because of this, the old man was accepted as a closed disciple by the pavilion master. ”
Ye Chenfeng noticed that when Elder Li mentioned the Pavilion Master, he paused for a moment, and his face was quite complicated.
Fortunately, this pause was fleeting, and Li Lao exhaled a turbid breath, and then recounted his experience: "The old man was arrogant and arrogant back then, and he didn't take his peers in his eyes at all, even some junior Pavilion instructors had to be polite when they saw the old man. ”
Speaking of this, the cold arrogance on Old Li's face bloomed, and Ye Chenfeng's head was big for a while. Maybe it's really as Li Lao said, he was extremely talented back then. It's just that he was so rebellious, I think he must have been very unpopular back then.
Elder Li didn't care what Ye Chenfeng thought of himself, he said to himself: "It's a pity that in addition to geniuses like me back then, there was also a demon alive.
As the only son of the master of the Instrument Pavilion, he occupies a lot of resources, and his talent is not weak, although he did not break the old man's record, he was also successfully promoted to the fourth grade refiner at the age of twenty-one.
The pavilion master was very happy in his heart, so he begged the dean to marry Zhiqiu Xu to Gu Laogou. Zhiqiu had me in his heart, so he forced him to die and refused to agree.
The dean loved his daughter so much that he had no choice but to refuse the cabinet master's request, and the matter was stopped. It's just that the old dog Gu was unwilling, and he was even more resentful of the old man to the point of no return.
Later, under the paving of the pavilion master, Gu Laogou successfully became the four major supervisors of the pavilion, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.
He took advantage of his power to deprive the old man of many resources. He even secretly sent people to attack me and destroy my Jiang Palace, causing the old man's realm to retreat instead of advancing, and it took countless years to return to Tianzong.
The progress of cultivation was delayed, causing the old man's grade promotion path to stagnation. When the old man later obtained the Yin Yang Fish Pattern and took advantage of it to be promoted to the fifth-grade refiner, Gu Laogou had already reached the sixth-grade refiner. ”
Speaking of this, the furious Li Lao couldn't help but clench his fists, the green tendons on his forehead were like thunder, the shocking anger in his eyes was like substance, and his chest was also undulating, venting the anger in his heart.
Ye Chenfeng's resistance at this time eased, and he was more sympathetic. I didn't expect that the old Li in front of him would have such a tragic experience, and that bastard named Gu Changan would be so despicable, it was really intolerable.
After a while, Li Lao's mood stabilized, he took a deep breath, and then said: "The old man knows the pavilion master's heart, and he expected that it must be the pavilion master's secret permission that Gu Laogou dared to do this evil trick. But the old man doesn't blame the pavilion master, everyone is selfish, not to mention that Gu Laogou is still the only son of the pavilion master. ”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, from the fact that Elder Li only called him the Pavilion Master, but not the word Master, it could be seen that even if Elder Li remembered the old kindness, it was impossible to call the Pavilion Master Master.
"As if to compensate me for something, the pavilion master asked the old man to preside over the construction of the small tower in the third floor of the pavilion.
The old man lived up to expectations, and built the little tower successfully, and the old man received some rewards for it.
After that, the pavilion master handed over the important task of building the stone pillar to Gu Laogou, Gu Laogou pointed out that the old man would give him a hand, and the pavilion master agreed. Taking this opportunity, Gu Laogou humiliated the old man in every way.
The old man thought to himself at the time, anyway, Zhou Laogou embarrassed me so much, I have to take revenge for anything, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, it's better than letting the old man swallow his anger.
Therefore, the old man maliciously set the teleportation speed of the stone pillar to the highest speed, and destroyed the control device so that it could never be changed. Speaking of this, Li Lao's face showed a hint of happiness after being angry.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly realized that the small pagoda full of murals and the stone pillar with inexplicable malice were all from the hands of Li Lao, which was really unpredictable.
It's just that Li Lao's move is difficult for the new students who have just arrived.
What's more, Li Lao still has to wipe the buttocks of the students, no matter how you look at it, that person is planning to do it.
The one who suffers the most is still Li Lao.
