The Linyun convoy trekked through mountains and rivers, and did not encounter any major turmoil, but there were some small ripples. Some eyeless mountain bandits and robbers wanted to make a windfall and set their sights on the convoy. But it didn't work at all, so Wang Hui and the water girl beat it back. When he ran away, he only hated his father and mother for missing two legs.

After being nourished by medicine and recuperating for many days, Sikong Yuan's wound has healed and he can walk on the ground, but he still can't exercise vigorously. Talking to him, I learned that he is also a scholar, but he has suffered a great change and his family is in the middle. When the scenery is beautiful, there are flatterers, begging for mercy, and when they are down, they fall into the well, and there are many people who gloat, and human nature is like this. His grandfather couldn't stand the stimulation and died suddenly. His father, who drank all day long, complained and became depressed, died when he was thirteen years old. After that, the mother and son depended on each other, but the blessing was incomparable, and the disaster was not alone, and his mother was seriously ill in the year of his weak crown, and he lacked the skills to return to heaven, and followed his father, and he became a loner. Originally, his parents had high hopes for him, hoping that he would study hard, pass the imperial examination in the future, gain fame, and revitalize the family again. And he does have talent, an amazing memory, and he can understand it at all. But the loss of his parents made him discouraged and bored, so he sold his remaining family property and began to travel all over the world.

Long Zaitian didn't easily believe his words, and secretly paid attention to observing, but he never found any flaws, and there was no aura fluctuation in his body, and he gradually let down his guard.

Knowing that it was the dragon who killed the gang of robbers, Sikong Yuan circled around the dragon in the sky when the convoy stopped, trying to talk. Seeing that although Long Zaitian looked cold, he had no intention of refusing, so he became bold and began to chat and joke. Even if Long Zaitian said very little, he didn't care, and he spoke with relish.

The ignorant are fearless, Sikong Yuan speaks without scruples, says everything, has a short family, anecdotes, gorgeous scenery, and wants to tell everything he sees and hears.

Long Zaitian was happy for him to speak, not because he was interested, but because he could hear whether there were any loopholes in it, so as to judge whether he had bad intentions. After talking for many days, in fact, Long Zaitian listened to it, and Sikong said that he didn't find anything suspicious, and Long Zaitian was more relieved. If Sikong Yuan is so thoughtful that he even thinks about the daily details in advance to paralyze him, then the dragon will be recognized in the sky.

The water girl and Wang Hui were very envious of Sikong Yuan, and they were unscrupulous in talking to their predecessors, but they didn't dare to do that if they had the heart. The water girl seems to be very arrogant, and she is no longer polite when she talks to Long Zaitian, but every sentence is said after consideration, and her personality is straightforward, which does not mean that she lacks heart. The two were still strangers, she knew it.

At noon, the sun was warm, and everyone stopped to make a hot meal and prepare lunch. Sikong Yuan got out of the carriage and came to Long Zaitian again, squatting down with a smile and basking in the sun together.

"Sikong Yuan, your injury is about to heal, do you have any plans in the future?" asked Wang Hui.

Sikong Yuan looked at Long Zaitian with a look of adoration, and said shyly: "Don't hide it, in fact, I went out to travel the world, and I also had some expectations in my heart, just thinking about meeting the immortal characters recorded in the book and worshipping him as a teacher." After this robbery, I feel that Senior Long is the immortal I am looking for. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down in front of Long Zaitian, "I want to worship you as a teacher and learn from you." ”

The water girl and Wang Hui were dumbfounded, and they wanted to ask their seniors to give them a few words, but they didn't dare to say it easily. This kid is good, he will directly worship as a teacher, if he is so reckless, the predecessors also promised to accept apprentices. The two of them were probably going to regret finding a piece of tofu and crashing to death.

Long Zaitian looked indifferent and said bluntly: "You get up, I can't teach you anything." ”

Sikong Yuan leaned on the ground and insisted: "Engong, you must have known my personality in the past few days. If there is anything wrong with me, I hope to correct it, and I will definitely correct it until you are satisfied. I beg you to take me as an apprentice. ”

"It's none of your business, I'm used to being alone, and I can't really teach you anything. The dragon said indifferently.

Sikong Yuan still didn't give up, knelt on the ground, hoping that his sincerity would move Engong, and accept himself softly, "Engong, although I can't help much, but the little things before and after the saddle, I can do it, and it will save you trouble." ”

Long Zaitian ignored him.

Although it was warm at noon, it was not a few days after the snow melted, the ground was cold and hard, his knees were very uncomfortable, and Sikong Yuan's injuries had not healed, his body was still a little weak, and after a long time, his body trembled involuntarily, and his face was even paler, but he had a stubborn temper, he couldn't afford it, and gritted his teeth.

The water girl and Wang Hui feel sympathetic to each other, and it seems that the matter of asking for advice will not go well. However, although he was sympathetic to the apprenticeship, he didn't dare to say anything.

Long Zaitian looked at the swaying Sikong Yuan, his mind did not fluctuate, his heart seemed to be harder, I am afraid that he will never meet a friend who has a chance to make a heart by chance, and he will not dare to drink.

The right hand was spread flat, and a purple air mass suddenly appeared on the ground, lingering around Sikong Yuan's body, holding it up, unable to resist at all.

"I don't want to take in apprentices, and I hate people forcing me to do things. "The dragon looked directly at Sikong Yuan coldly in the sky, and his momentum was domineering, making people retreat.

Sikong Yuan hurriedly admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, Engong." I wanted to worship you as a teacher so much, I was wrong. ”

"The meal is hot, come and eat. Someone shouted.

Long Zaitian stood up silently, "Let's eat." ”

When they had eaten, they continued on their way. Hua Yuanshan noticed the abnormality and asked with his eyes. The water girl shook her head and signaled that it was okay.

In the next three days, Sikong Yuan still had time to get to Long Zaitian's side, but he was depressed and silent, and everyone thought that he had died of heart. But three days later, I regained my spirits, talking and laughing. It's just that he didn't mention the apprenticeship again, and Long Zaitian let him nag.

As time passed, Hua Yuanshan's mood became more and more relaxed, because he was about to get home. I went out for more than half a year, and I was worried all the way, not because I was worried that my old life would not be able to return to my roots, but because the goods were lost, then it would be difficult to redeem them.

Everyone in the world envies practitioners who can attain immortality and have the ability to shake the heavens and the earth. But who knows that it is dangerous, personal disputes, sect disputes, alliance disputes, the slightest carelessness, and it will be destroyed in an instant. The Linyun faction fell from the sky, coveted by the big forces, and the head was unwilling to give in, and the century-old foundation laid by the ancestors was ruined in vain. The coveters were constrained and could not forcibly capture it, but first cut off the channel for the Linyun faction to purchase pills and herbs. There was no choice but to go to that strange place to buy it. However, in order to prevent the sect from being taken advantage of, the escort force sent out was limited, which made this time even more dangerous, but fortunately, there was no danger.

Hua Yuanshan is experienced, and of course he knows the lesson of falling short, and he is not careless at all.

The Linyun Sect is not located on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the surging sea of clouds. Instead, it is located on an island surrounded by endless lakes with clear water. The lake is a little peculiar, with warm water springs, the water vapor is permeated all day long, and the mist rises, like a fairyland, and there is a saying that Linyun is in the clouds.

It was a breezy day and the sun was exceptionally warm. Everyone in the Linyun Sect was relieved and smiling. Hua Yuanshan was old and serious, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

The clouds and mist in front of him obscured the view, and the sound of the lake lapping on the shore could be heard in my ears.

"Senior, we are about to arrive, and it has been a hard journey. When I get home, I'm going to treat you to a big meal, no, a dozen meals. Let me tell you, there are many fatty and tender swimming fish in this lake, and the taste is very different from that of ordinary fish in the lake, especially one called Golden Spine, which must be eaten and has an endless aftertaste. The water girl said with great interest.

"Yes, senior, the goldenrod fish, as the name suggests, has a golden thread on its back, this fish loves heat, lives near springs, and only comes to the surface at dawn and dusk. It contains aura, although it is not much, but it can also strengthen the body. If it's not a valued customer, we are reluctant to take it out, after all, the quantity is limited. After eating, I take my seniors to the hot springs, which can remove fatigue and relax the muscles and blood. Wang Hui said with a smile.

"After you arrived, is there anything else?" asked Long Zaitian indifferently.

Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, "There should be no more, and then it's time to take a break." ”

Long Zaitian nodded and did not speak.

The convoy came to a ferry port, but there was not a single boat in sight, only the turquoise water.

Hua Yuanshan took out a firework, lit it, exploded into the air, and bloomed with colorful light, dazzling. Everyone carefully guards the surroundings to avoid accidents.

An hour later, the waves rolled in, the smoke parted, and a large ship came into view, with a figure swaying in the bow. When the ship was moored, a tall figure rushed out of the boat first, happily, "You have finally returned." ”

When the water girl saw the man, she excitedly greeted him and shouted, "Father." ”

"The little girl is back, how about going out this time? Did you get into trouble for Uncle Hua?" the man smiled heartily.

"Father, that's how you see your daughter?" said the water girl.

"Hmph, I don't know about you yet?" the man said.

The head of the Linyun faction is tall, with slightly white temples and a face like a crown of jade.

"Elder Hua, this time it was really hard for you, I thank you for the whole faction. The head of the water thanked.

"When the head says this, I will see the outside, I am also a member of the Linyun faction, and I will also contribute when I encounter danger. Hua Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'm welcome, get on the boat first, and then go back to the sect. I've asked them to prepare a celebration feast. The head of the water raised his voice, "You have worked hard this time, I will give you credit, and everyone will be rewarded." ”

Everyone saluted, "Thank you, master." ”

"Alright, let's get the stuff on the boat first. ”

"Yes. Everyone said in unison.

Wang Hui and Long Zaitian and Sikong Yuan stood behind together, "Senior,"
