5. Wait for the water to make waves

Chu Tan found a pergola, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea.

The light rain is getting heavier and heavier, and more and more people are coming to take shelter from the rain.

"Did you hear that? The martial arts conference is going to be held in Lingnan! ”

"You know, I've heard about it a long time ago. Some people also said that when they saw Xiao Xuantian, they probably went to make trouble. ”

"Yes, yes, this person has to mess around with everything."

"What's this! Do you know, Jiangjiazhuang also sent people! ”

"Jiangjiazhuang?! Since...... After that, didn't you quit the rivers and lakes? ”

"Where? With the death of an eldest daughter, is the Jiang family depressed? ”

“…… That was indeed an inattentive Lord. ”

Chu Tan glanced gloomily at the other side where he spoke.

After the rain stopped, Chu Tan continued on his way.

On the way, I met a group of people who were discussing the martial arts conference just now, and those people were being besieged by a group of bandits at the moment - a group of people in the martial arts were beaten to pieces by the bandits!

One of the gorgeously dressed sons had sharp eyes, and immediately rushed over when he saw Chu Yan, "Young man, do me a favor!" ”

This noble son is handsome, but at first glance, he knows that he is a prankster.

Chu Yan looked down at him, frowned, and wanted to leave.

The noble boy shouted even louder, "I'm from the Deng family!" If you dare not save me, I want you to look good! ”

Chu Tan kicked the man away.

Guan Chongshui: "......"

The bandits burst into laughter.

Chu Tan ignored them and left.

Although Guan Chongshui has not said a few words to Chu Tan in the past few days, it can be judged according to the route that Chu Tan is going to the martial arts conference.

But...... He is the second prince, shouldn't he go back to the palace?

Guan Chongshui still can't understand this host, but fortunately, the favorability has risen to 32.

Anyu's new host was very kind to him, even too good, to the point where Anyu was a little overwhelmed. Lemon's system was upgraded, she chose the mermaid system, and chose a handsome and handsome star as the host. And after the two of them learned the news of Guan Chongshui, they also congratulated him.

Guan Chongshui asked them about the energy jade, but both Anyu and Lemon said they didn't know what it was.

However, with the energy jade, Guan Chongshui's energy can be increased by 0.5% every day. In a way, the energy block is more like a charger to the system.

And since the energy has increased, Guan Chongshui has learned more information about this world, including the host's life history - the truth that even the host himself does not know.

However, he didn't plan to take the initiative to speak, it was too rash to say this kind of thing suddenly.

After a few days of traveling, Chu Tan arrived in Lingnan.

Lingnan has always been a prosperous place, three autumn laurels, ten miles of peach blossoms, and now it is autumn, and the scenery is unique.

Chu Tan searched for several inns and was told that there were no vacant rooms, and when he finally found a room, someone said to him in unison, "Give me this room." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Chu Tan glanced at him indifferently.

"It's you!" This man held a golden fan and pointed at Chu Tan angrily.

"Who are you?"

Many people in the hall looked over this way.

The noble prince glared at Chu Tan fiercely, "You saw me being caught by the thieves that day, why did you stand by and watch, there was no martial arts demeanor at all!" Not worthy of being a martial arts person! ”

Chu Tan sneered lightly, "If you are beaten by a thief, you are worthy of being a person in the martial arts?" ”

The people in the hall laughed, and when the noble son saw this scene, he felt humiliated, so he said even louder, "You kid, dare to ...... with me" Guards of the competition? ”

The laughter in the hall was louder, and the noble prince roared, "What a laugh!" This son is the Deng family! ”

The laughter was much quieter, and many began to whisper.

Gui Gongzi thought that these people were afraid of him, so he crossed his hands on his hips, "How, dare or not?" ”

"Then I'm going to ask if your guards dare."

"Up!" Gui Gongzi waved his hand, and the guards beside him immediately stepped forward to call.

Chu Tan led him outside the inn, and knocked the guard down with three punches and two kicks. Then he walked over to the counter and said to the stiff-faced shopkeeper, "Give me the room." ”

The shopkeeper shuddered and took out the key.

Chu Tan collected it neatly.

On the second floor, there were a lot of heads poked out and stretched back, and one of the old men looked at Chu Tan excitedly, and Chu Tan seemed to feel something, and looked over.

The old man's face was full of emotion, mixed with sadness and joy, and nodded lightly at Chu Tan.

Even Guan Chongshui held his breath slightly.

Chu Tan turned his head expressionlessly and entered his room.

After a while, a little boy knocked on the door, "Childe, our master invites you to talk about it." ”

Chu Tan hesitated for a moment and followed the child into a private room.

This is the old man I just saw.

"?" The old man exclaimed tentatively.

Chu Tan stood in the middle of the room, his eyebrows moved slightly, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm ...... I'm your grandfather......" The old man came from his seat, "Good, good boy, they've grown so big...... I thought you were ...... Fortunately. ”

Chu Tan did not speak.

"What are your plans now? Would you like to go back to Jiang's house with me? ”

"I don't have any intentions. What happened back then? ”

The old man closed his eyes slightly, sat back in his seat, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"The presiding officer of Jingshan Temple didn't tell you?"

"Never."

The old man pondered for a moment and began to speak.

Chu Tan's father, that is, the current Emperor of Shuguo, met Jiang Qin, the eldest daughter of the three major families of martial arts, and fell in love at first sight, Jiang Qin also voluntarily entered the palace as a concubine despite his father's obstruction, and he was in a beautiful situation for a while.

cherished the saint's affection, and soon became disgusted with Jiang Qin. The queen looked down on the children of the rivers and lakes, so she bribed a few people to kill Jiang Qin. But Jiang Qin knows martial arts, and these people have never been able to find a chance to start. Until the end, after Jiang Qin gave birth to a child, her body was weak and weak, and these people took the opportunity to pour poisoned wine on Jiang Qin.

But the prince is not something they can kill lightly. The abbot of Jingshan Temple had a friendship with the Jiang family, so he proposed to bring Chu Tan to Jingshan Temple to raise him. When it was martial today, the emperor naturally agreed. Chu Tan was in Jingshan Temple, except for the abbot, no one else was very good friends with him. After the abbot's death, the current presiding officer of Jingshan Temple was bribed by the queen, and he targeted Chu Tan everywhere.

Jiang Xie, the head of the Jiang family, had thought about taking Chu Jian back to the Jiang family after learning about this qiē, but how could the children of the royal family be taken out and raised? It wasn't until not long ago that it was rumored that Chu Tan died of a violent illness the day before returning to the palace, so he took the children of the Jiang family to ask the people of Jingshan Temple for the reason of participating in the martial arts conference. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came to the inn, I met Chu Tan!

Chu Tan took a sip of tea.

Jiang Xie said again, "Since you don't know what to do now, why don't you go back to Jiang's house?" ”

"No, I'll leave."

"Wait, are you interested in visiting the martial arts conference? I don't know how Jingshan Temple teaches you, why not take this opportunity to observe the martial arts of famous masters? ”

"Is there a post?"

Jiang Xie took out a post, handed it to Chu Tan, and when he wanted to say something more, Chu Tan had already left.

He could only sigh: this kid was so indifferent, he should be resentful that he didn't take him back earlier.

Chu Tan walked out of the restaurant and strolled down the street.

Lingnan is located in the territory of Shuguo, and its Taishou is well governed, so Lingnan is also the only peach blossom source in the world that is not careful. Even so, there is no shortage of refugees and beggars on the road, and the mountains are full of robbers and bandits.

"What is the jade pendant for?" Chu Tan asked.

"That's energy. 】

"What is energy?"

Guan Chongshui was silent for three seconds, but in fact, he didn't know very well. The origin of this energy is so strange.

Three seconds later, his attention was already drawn to the restaurant on the street.

A month later, the martial arts conference began.

Chu Tan took the post, bought a gift casually and entered the venue, only then did he know that the current leader of the martial arts alliance was Deng Jin.

Deng family.

After walking a few steps, he saw the noble boy who was looking for trouble a few days ago.

The man glared at him hatefully, but the elders didn't dare to attack.

This retarded.

Chu Tan ignored him, found a remote corner, and sat down. After a while, I felt someone approaching, so I looked up.

Xiao Yi looked at him with a smile, and behind Xiao Yi was Xiao Xuantian.

Xiao Yi's smile gradually deepened, "You are good at martial arts, since you came out of that trial tree, you entered my master's door." ”

"Whatever you want."

The martial arts conference was originally held to elect the next leader of the martial arts alliance, and soon there was a person standing in the ring, and the result was a showmanship, but he was beaten down in a quarter of an hour.

Several people went up in a row, but no one could defeat the second person.

At this time, suddenly a man in white came into the ring, and after reporting his name, the two began to fight. This white-clothed boy is flexible in martial arts, elegant and handsome, and soon wins.

Chu Tan was moved to see it, and he also went on stage.

The man in white clenched his fists, "Deng Baiyu." ”

"Chu ...... Sky. ”

The two fought each other, and this battle can be described as hearty.

Jiang Xie stood up from his seat, his face surprised - the martial arts of the envoy of Chu Tan were said to be a faction of Jingshan Temple, but it was better to say that it was ...... Jiang Xie set his eyes on Xiao Xuantian.

Could it be that he accepted Chu Tan as an apprentice?

Impossible.

The man in white called out "yes" and asked, "Dare to ask which sect Your Excellency is from?" ”

Chu Tan was speechless.

Xiao Yi in the audience replied, "It's me Xiao Gu, how about it?" It caused a lot of discussion in the audience.

When Chu Tan was about to win, he put his sword into the sheath and returned to his seat.

“…… What do you mean by that? Deng Baiyu asked.

"I had no intention of fighting for the position of the leader of this alliance, but I saw that your martial arts were good, and I was willing to learn from you. When it is finished, it is returned. ”

Deng Baiyu was stunned for a while, hugged Chu Yan, and shouted again, "Who else is going to challenge?" ”

After Chu Tan finished fighting, he went back to his room to rest, and Xiao Yi saw it and immediately followed.

Xiao Xiaotian stayed where he was, looking at Xiao Yi's back.

"What?"

Xiao Yi sat at the table in Chu Tan's room and looked at Chu Tan, "Since you came to my Xiao Valley, I think I have treated you very badly, and I have let you read a lot of cheats and learn a lot, right?" ”

"I can't thank you enough."

"Don't be grateful, I want you to do something for me."

Chu Tan raised his eyes lightly, "Speak." ”

Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and hid the complicated feelings in his eyes, "Kill Xiao Xuantian." ”

"My martial arts skills are not as good as his."

"But you are younger than him, and you can always surpass him in your lifetime." Xiao Yi looked at Chu Yan's expression and added, "I have been living in Xiao Valley with him before, and he had to practice martial arts all day at first, so he had no time to take care of me, so he looked around for a boy to be my playmate, and I didn't care. He saw that I didn't care about it, so he used Gu to control the boys and told them to do laundry and cook. The meals you ate before were made by the boys.

Later, I asked him to find a boy with good roots for me to accompany me in martial arts, but every time they entered the trial tree, none of them could come out, and later, I also became discouraged. But you...... You're the only one out of the Trials Tree in all these years, so please do me a favor. ”

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I want to be able to do it, as for waiting until now?" You don't have to promise me right away, just think about it. ”

“…… I promise. ”

Xiao Yi looked at him in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he had agreed so happily. "What do you want?"

“…… As I left, the whole mountain collapsed. ”

“…… Yes? ”

"Don't blame it."
