The moonlight is still as calm as water, the sky is full of stars, from time to time a meteor flies into the distance, and there is an owl on the tree, its eyes are like green gems in the night sky, and the glowing light is particularly harmonious at this time.

Xiao Cong's face was suddenly startled, he felt that someone had been patted on the shoulder, and he avoided his divine sense, it was not easy to think of the other party, the sense of crisis rose quickly in his heart, and the wind and grass around him were all in his sense, he didn't look back, because he didn't know what would happen next, he could only wait, waiting for him to reveal his flaws in the dark.

But after a long time, there was no trace of abnormal aura around, although Xiao Cong had always thought that his spiritual sense was strong, he was a little uncertain at this time.

"Are you leaving?"

He turned his head slowly, startled, and involuntarily took two steps back - a grimace mask, a few steps away from him, anyone who encounters this kind of thing in the middle of the night will not be indifferent, and if it is put on hold, it may be like Xiao Cong, if it is not put away, I am afraid that it will pass out long ago.

The man wore a grimace mask, stood like this, facing Xiao Cong with a shocked face, he first jumped twice, and then stretched out a hand and shook it at Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong felt a tingling scalp, why didn't he provoke anyone, and suddenly encountered such a thing in the middle of the night!

Xiao Cong held the ancient sword in his hand and pointed at the grimace, the other party first shrunk his neck, then raised his head, covered his face again, and finally turned around, and a few flashes went deep into the woods.

Although Xiao Cong was uneasy, he felt even more unwilling, he groaned for a while, but he still chased after him, the moon sprinkled a mottled point of light in the forest, like pieces of broken mercury, lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, the grimace suddenly stopped, stopped in a place where the moonlight was scattered, this place has been a distance away from Xiao Cong's chasing, in the meantime the grimace seems to deliberately keep a certain distance from him, Xiao Cong knows that the grimace is deliberately seducing himself, but he wants to know what the grimace wants to do, the reason why this is so is not because he is a master of art and bold, but he knows that the other party does not want to hurt him, if not, he may have turned into a cold corpse。

The moonlight was like water, silent and waveless, there was silence all around, there was no wind and no sound, and the grimace suddenly turned its head in the cold moonlight, and the mask became even more eerie in the moonlight.

Xiao Cong also stood still suddenly, stopping five steps away from the grimace, under the sky, in the woods, the two figures did not move.

The grimace spoke, and the voice was yin and yang,

"Haha, you dare to chase after you. ”

"Why don't you dare!" Xiao Cong's face was calm, his tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You're not afraid I'll kill you?"

There was a hint of fierceness in his tone, and a powerful aura began to permeate around him, the black robe was windless, and the leaves rattled.

"If you really wanted to kill me, I would have died. Xiao Cong's face was still calm, and he basically ignored his actions.

"Hehe, the little one is smart, I like it. ”

In an instant, the powerful aura faded like a tide, everything returned to calm, the moonlight was still like water, and the night was still sultry.

Feeling the powerful aura suddenly reced, Xiao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, he folded his hands and said:

"The junior unexpectedly stayed here tonight, I don't know what your Excellency is doing?"

The grimace shook his sleeve robe, and his hands were behind his back, looking like he couldn't help but feel a little more righteous Ling Ran,

"I'm a casual cultivator, no name, no surname, no home, I came here by chance tonight, and I feel bored, so I want to tease my little friends to relieve their boredom. ”

"You're a kid from the Xiao family. He asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Cong couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "How did my predecessor know that I was from the Xiao family?"

"You are Xiao Cong?"

When Xiao Cong heard this, he was even more puzzled.

Seeing that Xiao Cong didn't answer, his grimace bowed slightly,

"There is a special smell in the breath of the Xiao family, but it is not difficult for anyone who is a little older to recognize you, alas, you said that your father is true, and I don't know if I will let you out and run away blindly after covering up your breath, if something happens, it will be a big loss for the entire Xuanzhen Realm." ”

Xiao Cong thought about it, the Xiao family who can cultivate, isn't the entire Xuanzhen Realm really their own!

"My seniors know my father too?"

Grimace nodded slowly and said:

"Recognize, recognize, Xiao Tianyu's foundation back then was no worse than yours, I wanted to take him as an apprentice, but unfortunately, he couldn't cultivate. ”

As he spoke, he sighed faintly.

A feeling of uneasiness rose in Xiao Cong's heart,

"So ......"

"So, I'll take you as an apprentice and fulfill that old wish, okay?" grimace turned his face and said firmly, not sounding like a joke.

Xiao Cong was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists and said:

"Thanks to the love of the seniors, but the younger generations cannot go against the ancestral teachings of the masters, so forgive the younger generations for all difficulties. ”

"I know that you are a master of the immortals, and you are a person from Tiandaoxuan, I said to accept you as an apprentice, you don't necessarily have to recognize me as a master, although I also know that Tiandaoxuan does not have such rules. ”

As he spoke, he grimaced.

"Senior, this is ......"

"You are extremely talented, rare in the world, if it weren't for your Lao Tzu personally sent you into Tiandao Xuan, so that the old ghost of Tiandao Weng took the lead, now I am afraid that you would have been my apprentice a long time ago, alas, it's a pity. ”

"Could it be that the seniors and the tutor also know each other?"

"Acquaintance?heh, I recognize that old ghost turning to ashes. ”

Grimace swore and sighed,

"Alas, I have been friends with your master for a long time. ”

"You have been a thief since you learned from a hundred schools, and I can't be considered a deceitful teacher and an ancestor. ”

"You know this!" Xiao Cong was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Hey, old fellow, I don't know him yet!"

"Then why did the seniors have to pass on their skills to me?"

Sighing, grimacing and saying:

"Alas, there is no way, in order to pass on the mantle, I have been looking for hundreds of years, and finally met Xiao Tianyu twenty years ago, but unfortunately it is a stubborn jade who can't cultivate, I met you today, I don't want to miss it again, my life's work, only in the hands of people like you, can it be regarded as a destination!"

Xiao Cong weighed it again and again, and felt that what the other party said also made some sense, it was not false at all that he had been stealing from the master since he was a child, as the saying goes, more skills are not pressing, today I took over the ability of this grimace, and I don't need to apprentice, speaking of which, it can be regarded as a continuation of the master's education method of the old man, Xingliuyun said well at the time, there is a cheap and not to take advantage of it, the turtle is a bastard!

"Then, since we have known each other, can the seniors take off their masks so that the juniors can see each other, and I can still recognize you when we meet in the future, so as to repay you for this acquaintance. ”

"What's the matter. ”

took off the mask, Xiao Cong finally saw his true face, crane hair and childish face, silver hair fluttering, Ye Ran under the moonlight, like a god.

The white-haired old man smiled heartily,

"How's it going? ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Xiao Cong to reply, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Xiao Cong.

"Take it. ”
