Chapter 12 Once upon a time, there was such a pair of master and apprentice

Wu Yuan handed the talisman back to Su Xiaoqi, then sat down before beckoning to Su Xiaoqi.

Su Xiaoqi also sat down, but his eyes looked at the talisman in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.

Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Tell me, how does it feel to draw talismans these days?"

Su Xiaoqi thought about it and replied very seriously: "I can't say it, it's not tired, but it's not easy, I just feel irritable." ”

Wu Yuan nodded, and suddenly looked extremely solemn, "Since you have learned to draw talismans, if you encounter something upset in the future, you can take it out and draw it, it will not hurt you." ”

Su Xiaoqi thought that he was afraid that he would abandon the drawing talisman in the future, so he promised: "I will definitely practice it from time to time and regard the talisman as part of my practice." ”

Wu Yuan didn't say anything, just said "um", and then said, "There are still some things I want to tell you." ”

Su Xiaoqi waited earnestly and listened attentively.

Wu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, his eyes were complicated, and then he measured it in his heart before he spoke: "This talisman you drew belongs to a kind of Xuan Gull Talisman, the reason why I gave you this talisman instead of the Yellow Gall Talisman with a lower rank is that I want you to retreat and give up learning the talisman, and second, I want to use this talisman to delay some time." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Su Xiaoqi and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be in the late stage of the mortal body mirror now, and you will be able to enter the spirit realm in a few days." ”

Su Xiaoqi was stunned, but he was not too surprised, and nodded, "It should be these two days." ”

Wu Yuandao: "I know that you are eager to improve your strength, but I still hope that you will delay a breakthrough for some time, I don't know if it will be good for your future path, but it will never be harmful." Of course, this is just my opinion, and you have to decide for yourself what you want to do, and when it comes to cultivation, in fact, the most important thing to remember is that others are pointing fingers, and I just ......."

Su Xiaoqi was still waiting for his next step, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't say a word, and couldn't help but look at the short man opposite.

Wu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and when Su Xiaoqi looked at him, he just sighed lightly, then stood up and said softly: "You are also tired for a few days, take a good rest, and I will tell you some precautions about the sword talisman tomorrow." ”

Su Xiaoqi was a little incredulous, he could learn the sword talisman by himself, and he thought it would take at least a few months, but it seemed that drawing the talisman was not so difficult.

Wu Yuan had already turned around and walked out, but when he walked to the door, he stopped again, turned around and said: "By the way, I would like to remind you, although you can already draw the Xuan Gull Talisman, it can only prove that you do have the talent to become a talisman, don't think that drawing a talisman is a simple matter." ”

Su Xiaoqi hurriedly got up.

After Wu Yuan left the house, he stood alone in the corridor on the second floor, blowing the evening breeze.

The evening breeze of early spring is particularly biting.

He folded his hands on his sleeves and looked at the sparsely lit Pan Yangzhen, stunned.

A long time ago, he was just an ordinary child in this town, herding cattle and cutting wood every day, and carrying a big basket to find pig vegetables after he was finished, at that time, he thought that he should live a plain life like this, just like his father, until one day he met the old man.

He had forgotten how many years had passed, but he could remember the day clearly.

It was a sunny morning, and that day, as always, he drove his two cows out of the town with his basket on his back, but met the old man under a plane tree outside the town.

The old man smiled and asked him if he didn't have to herd cattle again.

He replied at the time that no, if you don't herd the cattle, you won't have anything to eat.

The old man shook his head and smiled: "There are many ways to eat in this world, you don't have to herd cattle to eat, and there are some ways to not only eat well, but also make a lot of money." ”

As soon as he heard this, he became interested, thinking that if there is such a good thing in the world, then he must learn it no matter what, no matter how hard it is.

So he began to talk to the old man......

Since that day, he has become the disciple of the old man, but to this day, he still doesn't know where the old man came from, his real name, only the old man's surname is Chen, and others call him Old Man Chen.

Old man Chen didn't lie to him, after becoming his apprentice, not only could he eat enough every day, but he could also save a lot of silver, and he didn't even have to be bullied.

Time flies, and soon he is no longer the child he was back then, and Old Man Chen is always like that, so old, so many years have passed, and he is still so old.

It seems that he is already extremely old, so even after so many years, he can't get old anymore.

And he not only grew up, but also changed, and began to have his own ideas, so he completely ignored the old man's earnest teachings, and resolutely left the town.

At that time, he thought that he must be dead, but he didn't expect that the old man he had almost forgotten would appear and help him resolve all the crises.

It was also since then that he never went to see the old man again, and he felt shameless.

But he didn't dare to go too far, so he chose a nearby city and lived for many years.

Time always passed quietly like that, and later he met Su Rufan, at that time Su Rufan had an infant baby in his arms, and unconsciously, the baby had grown so big.

That time, he followed Su Rufan to Panyang Town once, but he still didn't go to see his teacher, so he didn't know when the teacher had another granddaughter.

Thinking about it, he was already in tears and unaware of it.

......

......

That night, in the courtyard on the bank of the Rhine, the old man did not swallow the clouds and smoke, but still held the cigarette stick.

The little girl was still wearing the thick cotton jacket, she wanted to change to a thinner one, but her grandfather didn't allow it, and said anything about spring and autumn frost, so she could only give up, anyway, it was just a little bulky when she walked.

The little girl looked at her grandfather as if she had something on her mind, and seemed to be a little sad, she had never seen her grandfather have such emotions, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.

She came to her grandfather and said worriedly, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

The old man came back to his senses, as if he had dozed off, a little in a trance, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just thought about some of the past, thought about it, and almost fell asleep." ”

The little girl nodded, and saw that her grandfather had resumed swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, not like she was unhappy, so she mustered up the courage and said, "Grandpa, I'll go tomorrow to see if the little seventh brother is okay, I haven't seen him for a few days." ”

After saying this, it seemed that all his strength and courage had been exhausted, so he immediately lowered his head and waited to be rejected by his grandfather.

The old man let out a puff of smoke and let out an "um" sound.

The little girl almost thought she had misheard, and looked up at her grandfather in disbelief.

The old man had closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

The little girl grinned and trotted back to her room.

Brother Xiaoqi said that you can grow faster by going to bed early and getting up early, so you must go to bed early and go to see Brother Xiaoqi early tomorrow.

When the little girl entered the room, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said to himself, "It seems that he is really old." ”

After saying this, the others had disappeared into the house, leaving only circles of smoke in the room, which did not disperse for a long time.

......

......

The City Lord's Mansion suddenly had an uninvited guest.

This made the entire City Lord's Mansion feel like it was facing a great enemy, and the lights that had not been extinguished for a long time were lit again, illuminating the huge City Lord's Mansion transparently.

First, a group of nursing masters appeared first, and then countless families with weapons in their hands quickly arrived.

These people all looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy, and what they were facing was nothing more than an old man in his prime.

The old man sat on the roof of a small building, smoking a dry cigarette.

The crowd dispersed, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walked out slowly, as the head of the Jiang family and the owner of the entire Fanyang Town, his face at the moment was particularly solemn.

After Jiang Fan appeared, he clasped his fists at the old man on the roof and saluted, before frowning and asking, "Old Chen suddenly came, I don't know what advice I have?"

The old man didn't answer, just exhaled a large puff of smoke, and then slowly stood up.

Below, whether it was those nurses with special skills or those with weapons, they all retreated backwards like a tide.

No one saw the old man's movements, he had already disappeared from the roof, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in the courtyard.

He was still hunched up, looking weak, as if he was a dying old man who had survived this cold winter with great difficulty.

But of all the people present, no one dared to underestimate this old man.

Even Jiang Fan, who controlled the life and death of the people in a city, didn't dare.

After the old man appeared in the courtyard, Jiang Fan's expression became even more solemn.

The old man raised his eyes to look at Jiang Fan, and finally said a word, he said: "I don't dare to advise, I just promised someone to come and talk about a deal with the city lord." ”

Jiang Fan was even more puzzled and asked, "What kind of business needs to be done by Elder Chen himself?"

The old man's next words made everyone, including Jiang Fan, feel inexplicable.

The old man casually inserted the cigarette stick on his belt and said indifferently: "First ask the city lord to take the old man's palm, and then it's not too late to talk about the deal." ”

As he spoke, he had already made a move, and his right hand was raised and pushed forward.

With such a casual palm, it actually hit Jiang Fan's chest, and Jiang Fan's strength was already in the divine realm, and after receiving this palm, the whole person flew out directly backwards and crashed directly into a solid wall.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, and it was not for a while to make a move, nor was it to not make a move.

When Jiang Fan stood up, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

He slowly walked to the position just now, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "In Old Chen's opinion, is Jiang's sincerity enough?"

This sentence is to save some face, after all, in front of so many subordinates, in this way, others naturally think that he deliberately took this palm.

In fact, he knew very well that he didn't want to hide from the palm just now, but he couldn't hide at all.

The old man stretched out three fingers and said indifferently: "It's very simple, within three years, the City Lord's Mansion can't trouble that kid anymore, and in return, I will teach Ling Qianjin a set of secret methods, and after three years, I don't care what you want." ”

After speaking, he took out something and threw it to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes after catching it, and said in a deep voice, "Old Chen, is this threatening the City Lord's Mansion?"

The old man had already turned around, and he had already taken out the cigarette stick, and smoked it, and when he spit out the smoke, the person was already outside the City Lord's Mansion, and only one sentence floated softly like smoke, "You can think so." ”
