Chapter 20: Apprenticeship
In a deep valley in the mountains of Yasukuni's extreme north, known as "Tianwei", several small wooden houses are located in it......
"Uh, where is this?Ling'er, Lan Yan......" As soon as Nie Chen opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a strange wooden house, covered with white bandages, and with a slight movement, Nie Chen felt a hot pain, and couldn't help but snort, and in desperation, Nie Chen could only shout loudly.
"Little one, you're awake. The old man in white suddenly appeared beside Nie Chen, and said with a smile, but his eyes were full of doubts, when Nie Chen was on the cliff, the old man didn't expect Nie Chen to jump off the cliff, when Nie Chen jumped down, the old man in white also hurriedly jumped down, wanting to save it, but was surprised to find that two red and purple lights emanated from Nie Chen's body, and suddenly enveloped the two people and one beast, and slowly fell to the bottom of the cliff, and the two people and one beast were unharmed, but the old man in white was about to go to see what the red and purple lights on Nie Chen's body were, but the two lights disappeared instantly, and the old man had no choice but to take the two people and one beast back to the valley, After careful observation, the old man in white found that Nie Chen forcibly made a move before jumping off the cliff, causing serious damage to the meridians in his body, and his serious injuries were no less than that of the blue flame demon wolf, and he could become a waste person if he was not careful, and the ruthless old man in white gave Nie Chen all the elixirs he had collected for many years, and originally thought that it would take him at least a month to wake up, but he didn't expect Nie Chen to wake up in just a week, and the old man in white couldn't wait to dissect it......
"Well, I remember, you are the old gentleman who bought me the purple jade plate and the little sword last time. Nie Chen was furious by the old man in white, but seeing that his eyes were familiar, he thought about it and finally remembered that this was the old man who sold the purple jade card and the small sword to himself.
"Whew......"
"Brother, you're awake, Ling'er misses you so much. A wolf howl came from outside the door, and I saw the blue flame demon wolf walking in with Xue Ling on his back, and the injured part of his body had also been medicated, and his spirit was also very good, he walked to Nie Chen's side and cordially "washed" Nie Chen's face with his tongue, Xue Ling jumped off the back of the blue flame demon wolf, ran to Nie Chen's side and said with concern, Nie Chen has been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, Xue Ling has been worried, and he has just gone to give medicine to the blue flame demon wolf.
"Okay, Lan Yan don't lick it anymore, where is Ling'er, how did we come here?" Nie Chen patted the huge head of the Lan Yan demon wolf, and wanted to ask Xue Ling beside him.
"Oh, I don't know where this is, but it was the old man who saved us and brought us here. Xue Ling tilted her head and said to Nie Chen, moving as she spoke, changing herself to a comfortable position to sit in.
"Nie Chen, thank you for saving your life. Nie Chen heard Xue Ling say that, endured the pain on his body, gritted his teeth, slowly walked out of bed, and bowed respectfully to the old man in white and said, although I don't know why the old man wanted to save himself and others, but the other party saved his life after all.
"It's just a gesture, come, come, come, lie down, your wound is not light, don't move, you see this wound is starting to bleed again. The old man in white hurriedly helped Nie Chen up, made him lie on the bed, and pointed to the several white bandages on Nie Chen's body, which had oozed red blood.
"Oh, thank you, thank you......" Nie Chen lay back on the bed and thanked the old man in white again and again, but he was a little strange in his heart why the old man in white was so good to him, and a hint of caution flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, you can recuperate quietly here, and I'll bring you food. With the eyesight of the old man in white, he naturally saw the concerns in Nie Chen's heart, smiled slightly and said indifferently, and walked out slowly after speaking, and at the same time closed the door with his hand.
"Ling'er, what's going on, how did we get here?" Seeing that the old man in white had left, Nie Chen asked in a low voice to Xue Ling, he really couldn't understand why the old man in white wanted to save himself and the others for no reason.
"Hmm...... After I was knocked unconscious by that cold shadow guard, I lost consciousness, and after I woke up, I was here, and that old man was giving you and Lan Yan medicine, but from the appearance of the old man, I felt that he really cared about you. Xue Ling thought for a while and said, to be honest, at that time, Xue Ling almost thought that the old man in white was Nie Chen's grandfather.
"Okay, you guys go back first, I need to recuperate. After hearing this, Nie Chen pondered for a while and said to Xue Ling and the Blue Flame Demon Wolf, and the Snow Spirit and the Blue Flame Demon Wolf left, and Nie Chen closed his eyes and carried out the Shura Decision......
In the house of Nie Yuanhe of the Nie family in Dusk Cloud City......
"Haven't you found it yet?" Nie Yuanhe said lightly while standing at the window, and a lonely aura emanated from Nie Yuanhe's body.
"Yes, sir, we have searched almost all the places at the foot of Biling Mountain, but we have not found any trace of the young master. Zhao Teng stood not far behind Nie Yuanhe and responded, in just one week, Zhao Teng has lost a lot, but the momentum on his body has also become much more aggressive.
"Alas...... Lao Zhao, you have worked this matter, tell me what happened that day. Nie Yuanhe sighed and patted Zhao Teng's shoulder, sat on the chair and said, Zhao Teng told Nie Yuanhe the ins and outs of the matter......
"In this way, Chen'er had been hunted down and killed beforehand, and the person who pursued him was still wearing Leng Yingwei's clothes. Nie Yuanhe frowned and said after listening to Zhao Teng's words, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Yes, this is what I left from those corpses, please take a look. Zhao Teng nodded and said, as he spoke, he took out a few pieces of dark blue cloth stained with blood stains from his arms, stepped forward and handed them to Nie Yuanhe.
"Smack"
"Hmph, it seems that they are getting more and more bold, and they even dare to sell Leng Yingwei's clothes. Nie Yuanhe took the strip of cloth and rubbed it, slapped it on the table, and said with a cold snort, just now he had determined that this strip of cloth was the fabric of Leng Yingwei's clothing.
"So, sir, the young master didn't send someone to hunt him down. Zhao Teng asked in some surprise, he knew Nie Yuanhe well, and understood that if it was really the Great Elder who did it, the old man would probably have already picked up a big knife and ran out to slaughter them all.
"As long as I'm alive, they won't have the guts to do this, but this fabric must have leaked out of them, and I should be active. Nie Yuanhe smiled disdainfully and said, but the faint killing intent in his tone still made Zhao Teng shudder, and he silently mourned for the Great Elder and the others in his heart......
A month passed......
"Whew...... Finally repaired the internal injuries and meridians. Nie Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, a faint glint flashed in his eyes, and he exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, After more than a month of recuperation, Nie Chen has fully recovered, and even has some refinement.
"Xiao Chen, it seems that your injuries have healed. The old man in white suddenly appeared behind Nie Chen again and said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Mo, thank you for taking care of you in the past month. Nie Chen was also obviously immune to the sudden appearance of the old man in white, but he turned around and bowed to the old man in white and said, in the past month, the old man in white has brought some meat to Nie Chen every day, and bursts of soul power are emitted from the meat, proving that the owners of these meats are all intermediate, or even high-level soul beasts, if it weren't for these meats, Nie Chen would not recover so quickly, even the blue flame demon wolf in the case of eating these meat every day, there are also faint some ghost flame wolves who want to advance from the fourth-level peak soul beast to the fifth-level ghostly blue wolf, coupled with the careful care of the old man in white, Nie Chen is naturally very grateful to him, and he also learned from his mouth that the old man's surname is Mo, and his name is not yinγ
"Yes, yes, it took a month to fully recover from the internal injury. Looking at Nie Chen, Mo Wuyin nodded with satisfaction and said, this kind of recovery power is comparable to a soul beast in a way, and it also greatly strengthens Mo Wuyin's decision to accept Nie Chen as an apprentice.
"Hmm...... Grandpa Mo, Xiao Chen has a reluctant request. Nie Chen thought for a moment and said to Mo Wuyin.
"Oh, what's the matter, Xiao Chen. Mo Wuyin looked at Nie Chen with a smile on his face and said, Mo Wuyin thought that he knew that he should know what Nie Chen wanted to do.
"Please Grandpa Mo, take Xiaochen as an apprentice. Nie Chen didn't see the smile on the corner of Mo Wuyin's mouth, he gritted his teeth and said, after saying that, he looked at Mo Wuyin expectantly, and once again Nie Chen accidentally found that Mo Wuyin had killed a fifth-level peak soul beast with one palm, so he had the heart of apprenticeship.
"Hehe, interesting, then why should I take you as an apprentice, give me a reason. Mo Wuyin said with a slight smile, he also wanted to know why Nie Chen wanted to worship him as a teacher.
"I, I want to protect my friends and relatives, I don't want to see them sad......" Nie Chen bit his lip and told Mo Wuyin what he thought,
......
"Heh... Since you don't want to, forget it. After a long time, Nie Chen saw that Mo Wuyin didn't speak, thinking that Mo Wuyin was unwilling to accept him as an apprentice, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, stinky boy, who said I wouldn't take you as an apprentice. Seeing that Nie Chen turned around to leave, Mo Wuyin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, this apprentice of his own is really anxious.
"Then are you willing to accept me as an apprentice?" Nie Chen quickly turned around and said excitedly when he heard this, looking at Nie Chen's excited appearance, Mo Wuyin smiled indifferently and said, "It's no problem to accept you as an apprentice, but it's very bitter to be my apprentice." β
"Master, I'm not afraid of hardship. Nie Chen shook his head and said happily, knelt down and kowtowed to Mo Wuyin three times, Mo Wuyin stroked Nie Chen, helped him up, and nodded......
