Before Lin Ling approached the door, he had already heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets inside, and the figures were going back and forth under the reflection of the candlelight.

Tang Jian didn't hesitate, pushed the door open, and said loudly, "Master! ”

In the candlelight, I saw a black shadow flashing, and Tang Jian immediately covered the top of his head and cried out in pain.

"You little rabbit cub, you came back so late, and you don't let the teacher sleep, let you sleep!" A slightly old voice sounded in the room, "What about the new junior brother? Why are you alone?"

Gao Yi immediately led Lin Ling into the house, the lights in the room were dim, and he could vaguely see that the furnishings inside were simple, a bamboo bed, a desk, unwritten rice paper was spread on it, and a brush soaked in water was hung on the side of the inkstone, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of ink.

Above the center on the right hand side of the wooden house, there are four large characters of "Taoism and Nature", and the word "scholar" is posted. The pen is vigorous and vigorous, although Lin Ling doesn't understand it, he always feels that this word is extraordinary when he thinks about it, and even ...... Something familiar.

The person beside Tang Jian was nearly two meters tall, a head taller than Tang Jian, wearing a black coat, with white beard and hair, looking at at least sixty years old, he was making a fist to show off his might to Tang Jian at this moment.

"Disciple Lin Ling, meet Master. Seeing this, Lin Ling naturally knew that the white-haired old man in front of him was the master of the two senior brothers, and he was also the one who was about to become his master. Without hesitation, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Just as Lin Ling was making a move, there was a strong force that made him stand up slowly. The old man looked a little anxious: "Don't you rush to worship first, Xiaoyi, come and help find the teacher, where did my more formal clothes go?"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Jian covered his head, immediately jumped to the side, and said impatiently: "Master, you are really getting older and more confused, isn't this just what you are wearing? This is all worn backwards, where can you find it?"

"Really?" The old man's face was full of disbelief, Gao Yi stepped forward, carefully took off the black coat on the old man's body, turned the other side, and helped him put it on again seriously.

When Lin Ling looked at the old man again, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the old man's beard and hair are all white, his face is full of light, his two earlobes are large and fat, and his slight smile not only does not have a trace of wrinkles on his face, but also looks like Maitreya Buddha, which makes people feel close.

And at this moment, he is wearing a bright and translucent red shirt!

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, higher than the color of the orange head, red!

Before Lin Ling could react, the old man enjoyed his expression with satisfaction, and urged: "Don't look at it, hurry up and apprentice, we can go to bed early after worshipping." ”

Lin Ling didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly became more sincere, and kowtowed nine times vigorously, which can be regarded as a real worship of the master. I didn't expect my master to be a higher rank than the head of the family!

"Alright. Tang Jian couldn't help but laugh beside him, "Look at your serious appearance, you are even more stupid than I was back then." Isn't it frightened by our master's red coat, I know that he has to do this every time. ”

"Okay, Xiaoyi, let's put it away for the teacher. The old man took off his red coat, waved his fist at Tang Jian and said, "What do you know about this little rabbit cub, such a solemn thing as apprenticeship, of course you have to dress more formally, although you bought it from the market, you just look good, why do you care so much." ”

Lin Ling was slightly stunned, speechless, and said in his heart: "Buy, buy...... In other words, this dress is not from the Scar Sect?"

"Master, you see that it scares the little junior brother. Tang Jian smiled, put his hands behind his back and left, "Good night, Master, it's not early, I'll go to sleep first, there should be nothing to do with me......"

Before Tang Jian could walk far, the old man slapped the back of his head with a shoe, and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, give me the honey from hunting tomorrow, otherwise I won't be given dinner!"

"Old man, you're too ruthless......" Tang Jian finally walked away in a scolding and scolding.

The old man carefully looked at Lin Ling in front of him.

Lin Ling is fourteen years old this year, not strong, but he is also well-proportioned, except for the strips of cloth on his face, there is nothing to observe.

"Sick?" the old man drew a circle in the air with his fingers, "so many of these things?"

Lin Ling sighed and said, "People are ugly...... Don't want to unravel...... I ask for Master's understanding. ”

"Okay, all of you have so many quirks. Gao Yi brought a chair to the old man, and the old man sat down and said, "The weirder the better, who made me your master?"

The old man's face didn't show much displeasure, and he obviously looked a little excited about a new disciple: "This place is called Xiaoyao Valley, and the old man's name is Qi Yuan." It's getting late today, Xiaoyi, you take Xiao Ling to his room to rest for a night, and then come back tomorrow to arrange others. ”

Gao Yi waved towards the master, and then led Lin Ling out of the house.

The two talked while walking, and Gao Yi pointed to the two houses closest to the master and said, "The one closer to the stream is my house, and the other is Xiaojian's." In the future, you can come to us often if you have nothing to do, as long as we can help you, the senior brother will do his best.

"Senior brother, is Master's red dress really bought at the market under the mountain?" Lin Ling still didn't recover from the shock just now.

Gao Yi also seemed a little puzzled: "I look at the material, it is indeed different from that of the head and the masters, and the most important thing is ...... One time when I went down the mountain to run errands, I really saw on the street selling the same coat as Master's. At that time, I was also depressed for a long time, and I thought that the master's rank was higher than that of the master. ”

"But you don't need to be discouraged, Master's cultivation is also extremely high, and he is kind and generous, and he is an excellent Master. If you obediently listen to Master's words and practice hard, you will definitely achieve something!"

"This house will be your house from now on!"

Gao Yi took Lin Ling to a house not far from Tang Jian's residence, explained a few words, and then left with confidence.

The furnishings of the house are almost exactly the same as Master's, and the materials of the house are the same as the vacant house at the foot of the Forgetful Road, and it is thought that it was built at the same time. The daily necessities in the house are also complete, and I think the two senior brothers should have arranged them for themselves in advance. Thinking of this, Lin Ling's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of home.

Lying on the bed, Lin Ling had a lot of thoughts, from Niukeng Village to Xiaoyao Valley, and experienced the assessment of the bridge and the road of forgetfulness, all of which seemed so unreal, as well as the looming pain on his body......

Fortunately, it was only for a short time, and the feeling of blood evaporating and convulsions all over my body was really painful.

The old man said that this disease will evaporate the blood and gas, and it will become more and more serious in the future, and the martial arts competition will be four years later.

Can I hold on......

Lin Lingpan sat up and breathed slowly using the breeze technique.
