Chapter 12: Departure
"Grandpa Pang, why are you here?"
There was a rare guest in the Taoist temple, an old man with gray hair, supported by two young men, who walked in tremblingly.
When Tang Tianshi saw this old man, he immediately stepped forward to support him and let him sit down.
"Xiao Tang, how are you recovering from your injury?" the old man looked at Tang Tianshi, his cloudy and gloomy eyes full of concern.
"Don't bother Grandpa Pang, my injuries are already completely healed. Tang Tianshi replied.
Ye Ran on the side made tea for the two, and then looked at the old man, a little curious.
"Xiao Tang is thanks to you for destroying those two demons, so that the village can be spared, otherwise the entire village will be destroyed. The old man took a sip of tea and looked at Tang Tianshi to express his gratitude.
"The Heavenly Master has an enmity with the demons, and it is the duty of the Heavenly Master to destroy the demons, I just did what I had to do. ”
"Very good, I really didn't mistake you, you will one day become a great Heavenly Master like your ancestor!" the old man patted Tang Tianshi on the shoulder.
Tang Tianshi glanced at the statue of the ancestor, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, until now he was only the weakest Heavenly Master of the Yellow Rank, and those two dragon-shaped demons were not destroyed by his strength, he was with the help of external forces, so this was not his real ability, which made him feel very ashamed.
"Xiao Tang, I don't know if you have any ideas to go to the four major families to learn more sophisticated demon slaying and demon eradication techniques?" The old man looked at Tang Tianshi and slowly threw out a bombshell.
When Tang Tianshi heard this, the whole person was instantly stunned, "The Four Great ...... Four families?"
Ye Ran couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, the four major families are the four most powerful forces in this world, they represent the highest level of demon subjugation and demon eradication techniques, and no one in this world can compare to the four major families.
People in the whole world dream of entering the four major families to learn the art of subduing demons and eliminating demons.
But outsiders who can enter the four major families are very few, and they are almost rare.
And if you want to participate in the assessment of the four major families, having the exam qualification is not something that ordinary people can get, and this exam qualification may not be able to be obtained by others!
But in this poor and remote place, someone actually said, "Do you have the idea to go to the four great families to learn the more sophisticated art of demon slaying and exterminating demons", no matter who thinks it is just a simple and stupid question.
"Naturally, I thought about it. "Tang Tianshi still maintains his respect for his elders.
"Would you like to get out of here, then?" the old man nodded and continued.
"Leaving here?" Tang Tianshi was slightly stunned, a little unclear.
Ye Ran's heart fluttered, "Of course I want to leave here!" he couldn't wait to answer for Tang Tianshi.
"Why do you want to leave here, isn't this place very good?" replied Tang Tianshi, he had been living here for more than ten years, he was already used to everything here, and he had no idea of leaving here.
"Didn't you say that you want to go to the four great families to learn the more sophisticated art of subduing demons and eliminating demons?" the old man wondered.
"That's right...... But there is a ...... about this," Tang Tianshi instantly understood, "Do you mean that you have a way to let me enter the four major families?!"
"Otherwise?" the old man looked at Tang Tianshi with a very surprised look, as if Tang Tianshi had said a very idiotic question, "If I can't let you enter the four major families, why should I talk to you about it?"
Tang Tianshi received the old man's affirmative reply, and the whole person's spirit was suddenly shocked.
What Heavenly Master doesn't want to enter the Four Great Families to learn the more sophisticated art of subduing demons and eliminating demons?
But...... Tang Tianshi glanced at the old man with a suspicious gaze, it was not that he was suspicious, after all, the four major families were not something that ordinary people could enter.
"But, Grandpa Pang...... These four major families are not accessible to ordinary people......" Tang Tianshi reminded carefully, for fear of hurting the other party's self-esteem.
Ye Ran also looked at the old man with a surprised gaze, a little curious and a little nervous in his heart.
The old man laughed and stroked his beard, "My grandson is an outstanding Heavenly Master of the Sun family among the four major families, and he is qualified to let one person enter the Sun family to study, but he has to go through the assessment of the Sun family. ”
"Really?!" Tang Tianshi heard this, the whole person jumped high, and his heart was indescribably excited, it was his dream for many years to be able to enter the four major families, although his ancestors were powerful, but compared with the four major families, there was still a slight gap, if he could enter the Sun family to learn, his demon subjugation technique would definitely be able to go to the next level!
"Assessment?" Ye Ran noticed this detail, this is not to guarantee that Tang Tianshi can enter the Sun family to study, but just to provide a path, whether it can work or not depends on Tang Tianshi's own ability.
"Don't rejoice too soon. The old man looked at Tang Tianshi's excited appearance, and said with a smile, "It's not certain whether you can enter the Sun family, but with your means, you should be able to enter the Sun family smoothly." ”
"I understand...... I understand. Tang Tianshi calmed down and took a few deep breaths, this was also a game, a very risky move.
Because the journey to the four major families is long, if he goes, it will cost him all his savings, and if he can't enter the Sun family, he won't even have the money to come back.
But no matter what, he will never miss such an opportunity!
"Grandpa Pang, I'm willing to go to Sun's house!" Tang Tianshi looked at the old man firmly.
"Alright, you pack your things and get ready to go. The old man handed over the token to Tang Tianshi, and after instructing him something, he left.
Ye Ran looked at Tang Tianshi, raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to go with you to Qianyang City, where the four major families are located. ”
"You?" Tang Tianshi was slightly stunned, his original plan was not to bring Ye Ran with him.
"Yes, I don't want to be here, I want to see the wider world. Ye Ran said, leaving here has always been Ye Ran's idea, and now that Tang Tianshi is about to leave the place and go to Thousand Yang City, the center of this world, how could he let go of this great opportunity?
Tang Tianshi lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "It's okay." ”
Ye Ran was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you Tang Heavenly Master for making it perfect." ”
A few days later, Ye Ran and Tang Tianshi were ready to set off for Thousand Yang City.
