Chapter XI
"Wait, don't go, what do you want?" Huai'an hurriedly grabbed Shi Tao and asked.
At this pull, the corners of Shi Tao's mouth showed a smug smile, and he thought in his heart, "Sure enough, it's just a teenage doll, and I can confirm my conjecture with a casual trick, it seems that it is really an energy barrier, and there are really strangers in this mine, but I don't know if it's this doll or someone else." ”
"I don't want to do anything, I just know that if you meet someone with a strange ability, you have to report it to your superiors truthfully. Shi Tao whispered in Huai'an's ear, for fear of being heard.
Huai'an's hand grabbed Shi Tao's sleeve and held it tighter, Huai'an didn't want to lose this opportunity to cultivate, and he didn't want his father-in-law to have any accidents.
"Please, can you not report it?" Huai'an's hand clutched Shi Tao's sleeve.
"It's okay if you don't report it, you tell me what kind of ability it is. Shi Tao asked in a low voice.
"I can't say. ”
"Then don't blame me for being rude. With that, Shi Tao knocked Huai'an's hand away, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ancient book," Huai'an said in a low voice.
"Ancient books?" Shi Tao muttered in a low voice, his eyes rolling as if he was thinking about something.
Shi Tao wanted to ask, "Is someone teaching you, or are you cultivating by yourself after you got this ancient book?"
But after thinking about it, he asked in a low voice, "Did you learn from others?"
"No, he didn't teach me anything, he didn't do anything but wanted to trick me into working for him. Huai'an said immediately.
How could Huai'an's low-level lie deceive Shi Tao. As soon as Huai'an's words were finished, Shi Tao immediately determined that the stranger was not this kid, but someone else, and he was still teaching this kid.
"You take me to him. Shi Tao said in a low voice.
"Impossible, impossible. Huai'an was a little angry, he must not expose his father-in-law.
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to answer me so affirmatively, tomorrow, tomorrow, if you don't take me to see him, then I'll bring someone to see you!"
Huai'an didn't expect that his whereabouts would expose his father-in-law and his abilities, and Huai'an blamed himself incomparably. At the same time, he thought that if he couldn't solve Shi Tao's thorny problem, his own cultivation and the safety of his father-in-law could not be guaranteed. The revenge for A-Niang has come to naught. At this time, Huai'an was extremely self-blaming and guilty, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a thousand pounds of boulders, and he couldn't breathe. Huai'an didn't know what to do.
In the dead of night, Huai'an quietly found the old man with a pipe, and Huai'an told the old man about the day, and then sat aside and bowed his head silently.
The old man with the pipe thought for a while and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"During the day, he was the only one who came and whispered to me, and no one else should know. ”
"Well, you take him to the barrier tomorrow afternoon to find me. Remember, don't let anyone see it, you go back and rest early, you don't have to think about anything, it's all left to your father-in-law. The old man said to Huai'an with a smile.
Huai'an bowed his head and returned to the wooden house, because of this matter, the whole person turned over and over all night and did not sleep.
The next day, Shi Tao found Huai'an early.
"Take me to him. Shi Tao said in a low voice.
"In the afternoon, when you saw me from afar dropping my pickaxe and leaving, you quietly followed me, remembering, don't follow too closely, and don't let anyone find out. Huai An said in Shi Tao's ear.
Shi Tao smiled slightly, turned around and walked away, and began to chisel not far from Huai'an.
In the afternoon, Huai'an put down the pickaxe and walked to the depths of the mine, and Shi Tao hurriedly put down the pickaxe in his hand when he saw this, and followed from a distance. When he arrived at the barrier, Huai'an stopped, and when Shi Tao followed, he made sure that no one was following him, so Huai'an pulled Shi Tao and entered the barrier together.
The moment he walked into the barrier, Shi Tao was so surprised that his jaw hit the ground, he had only heard of the existence of a supernatural person in this world for many years, but he had never seen it. Walking into this energy barrier for the first time today, Shi Tao was excited for a long time, but he couldn't ease up.
"Here, just sit down. The old man sat with his eyes closed, his lips not moving, but he spat out a word.
Shi Tao looked around at the scene inside the barrier and found that it was no different from the outside, and then Shi Tao looked at the old man with a pipe and sat down excitedly.
"See what I'm up to, say it. The old pipe man said in a hairy voice.
"Hello Master, there's nothing important, I just want to learn abilities from you. Shi Tao said with a flattering look.
The old man with the pipe was silent for a moment and said, "I don't accept apprentices casually, please go back!"
"Master, I don't just want to talk to you about accepting an apprentice, I want to talk to you about this great event that will benefit tens of millions of people at dawn and make you famous for eternity. In addition to the aristocracy in this world, there are very few ways for ordinary people to obtain abilities, and since the master has been inherited, why not share this learning, so that more young people who seek progress and are eager to grow up grow together. There is nothing to lose for you, it is a matter of great merit for the benefit of millions of people, and your generosity will make the people always remember you, admire you, and worship you. If you don't dislike it, I am willing to be your pawn and run around, for the people and for you. Saying that, Shi Tao got up and knelt on his legs as if he wanted to apprentice.
Huai'an was a little moved when he heard Shi Tao's words.
"I've already said it, I don't accept apprentices casually, please go back!" the old man with a pipe looked cold.
"Master, are you worried that I don't have enough understanding? Don't worry, I can study very hard. If you have any worries, you can tell me about it, and you can test me as you like. I can accept any test, as long as I can learn from you. Shi Tao said with respect in his words and in a very low posture.
The old man with the pipe didn't want to say more this time, and coldly spit out three words, "Please go back."
Hearing this, Shi Tao's fists clenched even tighter, and his mouth clenched his teeth. After being silent for a long time, Shi Tao spoke again, "Please take me as an apprentice and teach me my abilities." ”
The old man with the pipe got up, turned his back to Shi Tao, and said nothing, but this action obviously rejected Shi Tao.
Shi Tao also stood up "rubbing", pointed to the old man with a pipe and said, "Old thing, you are toasting and not eating and drinking, and today Lao Tzu is not uncommon for you to teach me an old thing." Hand over the ancient books, or I'll denounce you, and you and this kid won't want to live. Not daring to pause more, Shi Tao hurriedly said again, "Don't think about killing me, I'm ...... outside."
Before the whole sentence was finished, the neck had been pinched by the old man with a pipe with one hand and raised high.
"Such a character still dares me to test. After I have rejected you many times, if you can still leave honestly and quietly, maybe I will consider taking you as an apprentice. Now I want to be soft and not hard, right? Hmph, the old man eats soft and not hard all his life, who dares to be hard with me, the old man and him are hard to the end. ”
"Yes... Sorry, big... Division... I ......"
Without waiting for Shi Tao's words to finish, the old man of the pipe had a luck, at this time, from the dantian to the fingers, the surrounding air was all agitated, and there seemed to be an electric snake shuttling back and forth, and the speed of the electric snake snake with flames on the tail of the snake was extremely fast, and to the naked eye, it seemed that electricity and fire wrapped half of the old man's body.
"Before you die, you will also be able to see the true powers, and it will not be in vain for you to live. ”
