0019 Apprenticeship
No matter how time passes, no matter where you are, everything that happened on that summer afternoon is as vivid as yesterday's.
Lan Lan never thought that her parents had also found an item that would affect the future of the entire Nine Prisons, and she didn't expect that the cause of the matter would be so tortuous.
She had a strong intuition, and the fragment in her hand was the root cause of the death of the fourth uncle and the expulsion of her master, Hei Jiu, from the family. In Lan Zhan's notes, Lan Lan found some records, this fragment was not the one in Heihuai's hand, but in the third year after that incident, his father Lan Zhan went through a lot of hardships to find it.
There appears to be more than one fragment.
The fourth uncle's family was destroyed because of it, and her parents also disappeared mysteriously, and she didn't plan to tell anyone that she had a broken page until she figured out what the fragment was and what kind of terrifying power it contained.
Her current strength is like the difference between the universe and the gravel in front of the huge Nine Eunuchs, she can imagine that once someone with ulterior motives knows the information on the fragments, she will not be able to protect this secret at all, and even pull the entire Lan family into the water, just like the fourth senior uncle Heihuai's family back then.
She couldn't afford to lose, and she couldn't afford to gamble.
After calming down, she opened her mouth and told the second uncle in detail about the events of the year, but she concealed the information on that fragment.
The last word fell, and the room fell into a long silence again.
Shui Yuzhi clasped her hands in front of her chest again, and her slender fingers tapped her arms rhythmically, which seemed to be her habitual action of thinking.
Hei Hao's expression was still cloudy, his brows were deeply locked, and his emaciated body seemed to have a powerful and terrifying power.
"The books you have read in the United States over the years are also related to this."
Lan Lan turned her gaze to Hei Hao, and saw that his eyes radiated a burning look, and she had the illusion that although he was the youngest of the four people in the room, this person seemed to be the one in control.
She nodded slowly, as well-behaved as a junior.
"Majoring in occultism, history, and semiotics."
"What do you think about the disappearance of your parents?"
"It was certainly not a hallucination, and I was not lying, my parents did disappear into a golden light. Although there is no scientific basis for this, I still firmly believe that they did disappear in front of me and not go somewhere else, or, as rumored to have died, at the hands of the enemy. ”
"I thought of time machines and even paranormal events, and I've investigated all the similar events that have happened in the world over the years. But we have never found an event that is the same as when our parents disappeared. ”
After Lan Lan finished speaking, she looked at the three people in the room fixedly, wanting to get a clue from them that she had not mastered.
Shui Yuzhi helped the black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose and said, "Then you really want to participate in the clan election in 5 years." In fact, not all of the members of the Nine Prisons who are lost during the annual clan election are killed by accident or by their comrades. A very small part of it disappears, disappears out of thin air. ”
The Nine Prison Clans have a great secret.
And this big secret is most likely the reason for the disappearance of the parents.
How could Lan Lan not be excited.
"But don't get your hopes up, we've only heard that the disciples of the clan disappeared somewhere in the clan land at the time of the clan election, and there has never been a similar incident in the outside world." Black Eighty-Eight Ways.
"Actually, before you came to see me this time, we were already planning to go to you. The Nine Prison Clans are about to be chosen, and we are starting to look for seeds. ”
"Isn't there still 5 years?" Lan Lan's family rarely mentioned the matter of the Nine Eunuchs, and the clan election was even more unheard of.
The Nine Prisons hold a clan election every 10 years, and now there are still 5 years left, isn't it too anxious?
"Hahahaha, you don't understand the Nine Eunuchs, let alone the meaning of the clan election. In the main vein of the Nine Prisons, many children start systematic training soon after birth, and 5 years is too hasty for you. ”
Lan Lan was secretly speechless.
"I was thrown into the clan land by the clan for 10 years, and I could only come out when the next clan election opened the big array, and after I came out, I was also excluded from the family center, and many clan affairs could no longer interfere. Originally, I planned to start looking for disciples when I came out of the clan land, but ......" Hei Eighty-eight laughed helplessly, the members of the squad who used to be dominant, now they can only use the days of performing ancient martial arts gangsters.
Unexpectedly, only two years after they came out, the news of the disappearance of Lan Zhan and Xiao Xuanlin came, and the young man who was originally enthusiastic has also become a peaceful and unmotivated martial artist.
"Forget it, it's all over, because of some chances, I plan to go out of the mountain again and take my disciples to break through. And you're the one I'm looking for. ”
Shui Yuzhi looked at Hei Hao with a faint smile on his face.
"I can't figure out why the teacher took a fancy to you in the first place."
Hei Hao's position in the family is even more embarrassing than Hei Eighty-Eight, his parents are not the main lineage of the Hei family, not to mention, he is still an illegitimate child. Because of physical reasons, I am sick in bed all the year round, and I don't look like I have the potential to cultivate.
I don't know which tendon is wrong in Black Eighty-eight, but I was the first to fall in love with this person.
Hei Hao smiled faintly, exuding a masterful aura of sitting and watching the wind and clouds, and slowly spoke: "He is not you, he has a unique vision." ”
Shui Yuzhi wanted to tear off Hei Hao's pale face and throw it on the ground to rub it hard, but the lady couldn't do this kind of thing, she just threw a big white eye to the other party.
Lan Lan saw the two for the first time, and the interaction between them seemed to be tense, but in fact it was full of tacit understanding and trust.
Lan Lan sneered and said, "Fourth Senior Uncle, has the vinegar jar in your house been poured out?" How to smell a sour smell. ”
As soon as the girl's words ridiculing the two came out, Hei Eighty-eight laughed first, Shui Yuzhi reacted after a second, and threw a white eye to Lan Lan with a smile, but Hei Miao still laughed silently.
"It's not that I sour him, this person really doesn't know how to lift, the teacher takes a fancy to him, but he doesn't want to enter the teacher's door at all."
Lan Lan looked at Hei Mao suspiciously.
As the youngest generation of the Lan Group, although she doesn't know about the Nine Prisons, the internal competition of the Lan Group is very strict, as Shui Yuzhi said, the background and physical condition like Hei Hao, before she shows her extraordinary talent, let alone being valued by the family, it is difficult to even continue to survive in the family.
If his parents love him enough and are strong enough, it is not difficult to keep him as an ordinary person, but it is really impossible to get the recognition of the family, let alone enter the clan as a seed.
Black Eighty-Eight looked at Hei Hao, waiting for his reply, looking forward to it.
He didn't understand why that person wanted to choose the marginal descendants of this family as soon as he left the clan to cultivate seeds, and he also had a lot of suspicions and uneasiness after being rejected by this kid again and again.
Each family in the Nine Prisons of Huaxia has its own means of cultivating outstanding juniors, and the Hei family is mainly a teacher to bring newcomers.
In the Black Clan, there are a total of 99 instructors, and for whatever reason, as long as they don't die, they have always retained the title of instructors. Although he was removed from the family like Hei Jiu, the title of teacher is still on him.
Only when one of the faculty members dies will the family arrange for a new faculty member to be on top.
Therefore, the black instructor is a title and an honor.
The black clan instructor can be a capable person in the family, or a member of a foreign clan, as long as one of them can be killed, he can replace him.
Black Eighty-Eight, like Black Nine, is not a member of the Black Race in the traditional sense, they are orphans adopted by the Black Clan since childhood, and once they enter the Black Clan, they will be members of the Black Clan for life.
No one can betray their family.
Don't dare, don't want to, can'
Although Black Nine and Black Locust were expelled from the Black Clan, those in the know knew that they had never betrayed the family in the true sense. It was a last resort.
Hei Hao also turned his head to look at Hei Eighty-eight, and then looked at the two women.
He smiled lightly: "No matter which of you enters his door, how long before me, how old you are, how old you are, I am your senior brother." ”
Shui Yuzhi was so angry that he almost stood up and beat the guy.
Lan Lan covered her red lips and smiled like a flower.
Hei Eighty-Eight slapped the table and laughed: "Haha, I was stunned by your guy just now, isn't this already admitted that I am a disciple, hahaha, call the teacher to listen." ”
Lan Lan didn't understand why Hei Hao was so persistent, the fourth senior uncle Hei Eighty-eight was very sincere, not only was he the first to find him, but his enthusiasm still did not diminish after he refused many times.
Hei Mao's face showed a rare awkwardness.
Lan Lan Daqi.
Hei Eighty-eight turned his head to look at Lan Lan, and said in a sincere tone: "Big niece, I want to be your teacher, are you willing?" ”
Lan Lan wants to enter the clan land, why don't you want the pillow sent to the door.
What's more, this person has a close relationship with his parents, and he doesn't recognize him as a teacher.
Lan Lan is not like Hei Mao, she is a woman who knows the times very well, there is tea on the table, she changed her seat to kneel, holding the teacup in both hands and said solemnly: "The teacher is above, the disciple Lan Lanjing has a cup of tea." ”
"Okay, good, it's still you. Here, this is a gift from the teacher. ”
Lan Lan didn't look closely, and put away a small wooden box handed over by the teacher.
Shui Yuzhi also took out a white locket from his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, the teacher has already taken a fancy to you, and knows that you have returned to China, so he arranged this meeting, so our gifts are prepared in advance." Well, that stubborn cow has it too. ”
Hei Mao couldn't help nodding, with an old smile on his face, this kind of smile appeared on Hei Eighty-eight's face very appropriately, but it appeared on a young man in his early 20s, how to look at it.
"This is a gift for you, little sister."
The three of them each prepared a generous gift, although it was unexpected, it was indeed reasonable.
Successfully brought Lan Lan under his command, Hei Eighty-Eight was very happy, and the clear laughter continued.
Lan Lan's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the same gift was still two in the hands of the three people.
"Teacher, are there any disciples who want to get started?"
"Your two friends are also the teacher's candidates." Shui Yuzhi raised the two white lockets in his hand and shook them in front of Lan Lan's eyes.
"Hei Yuan and Huo Fan?"
"Yes, but these two people are in a different situation from you, it is easy to accept disciples, but it is difficult to enter the clan land in a team with you." Thinking of this, Hei Eighty-Eight was a little embarrassed, and his face became much more solemn.
Hei Yuan's choice to become the teacher's disciple was expected by Lan Lan, but why was Huo Fan also the target? Could it be that he has no identity?
Lan Lan looked at the three of them with puzzled eyes.
Hei Hao opened his mouth to explain: "Huo Fan is the remnant of the lower three red families, the red family was defeated in the last battle of the nine eunuchs, the family was dissolved, the main lineage was absorbed by the upper three clans, and the descendants of the side line were divided between the middle three sects and the lower three families. Huofan is one of the protections of your Lan family, so he also belongs to the category of the Nine Eunuchs, and is qualified to enter the clan to practice. ”
"Although it is difficult for Huo Fan to enter the clan, there is still a way, but the black abyss is ......"
