Chapter XVIII: A Message
"Young man, in fact, I also value the cub of the 'little lion', and I want to catch my untalented apprentice as a mount. I don't need you to thank you or not, the old man just asks that you can see the old man's face in the future and help my talented apprentice when necessary. After all, the old man can't always be by his side. The old man said with a nonchalant expression.
"Then thank you to the seniors, as for the seniors' request for the juniors to do their best. When the middle-aged man heard that the old man also wanted to get the cub of the purple gold Xuantian Lion, he was even more happy in his heart, with the help of the old man, so that his grasp would be greater, the middle-aged man arched his hand to the old man with that friendly smile and said.
"Well, that's for the best. Since you and I can meet today, it is also a kind of fate, the old man will give you another good thing, there is a Huangsha City thousands of miles ahead, and in the Ling family in Huangsha City, there is a little Nizi, she should have the same physique as you. Chen Lao took out the broken wine gourd, took a sip of wine and said.
"Hiccup~ As for whether you want to accept her Xiao Nizi as an apprentice, it depends on your wishes, by the way, the relationship between Xiao Nizi and my untalented apprentice is not ordinary. The old man burped, and a mouthful of wine spewed out of the old man's mouth and sprayed onto the middle-aged man's face.
When the middle-aged man heard Chen Lao say that there was a person with the same system as himself, his originally calm face was no longer calm, not to mention that the relationship between the little girl and the apprentice of the senior in front of him was still very good. If you accept that little girl as an apprentice, and add the relationship between that little girl and that kid, wouldn't you be able to win over this senior who can't see through it?
"Senior, this is a big deal, thank you senior. If the junior can take the child as an apprentice, the junior will completely obey the command of the senior in this operation, and dare not have the slightest complaint!" The middle-aged man put away his smile and said to the old man with a solemn face.
"Don't worry, the old man is not an unreasonable person. However, if the 'lion cub' only gives birth to one cub, the old man can only take the love of others. Chen Lao heard the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, if he hadn't found good seedlings for him, he would still compete with Chen Lao for cubs. However, Chen Lao didn't care, after all, the two met for the first time, and it was rare that they would not be defensive. When Chen Lao said 'to win people's love', the momentum on his body was instantly released, and he wanted to let the middle-aged man know that his previous idea of wanting to compete with himself was very wrong.
The middle-aged man felt that Chen Lao seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his previous thoughts, and the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to Chen Lao to explain, Chen Lao was also an old man, and he didn't care too much about these, so he passed it in a few words.
"Boy, if you want to take that little girl as an apprentice, then you should wait for half a year, half a year is not a long time for you, as for her safety, you can rest assured, my kid cares about her very much. Chen Lao suddenly remembered something, and then said to the middle-aged man in the purple robe.
"This is..."The middle-aged man's eyes were full of astonishment, and he thought to himself, since he told himself that he had a good seedling, wouldn't he let himself go now, wouldn't this be torture? However, before the middle-aged man's words were finished, the old man left, and he should have disappeared out of thin air. This move of the old man made the middle-aged man who was originally stunned even more shocked in his heart, even his own master could not make this move to disappear out of thin air. The middle-aged man secretly wiped his cold sweat, thanks to the fact that he was not rude just now, otherwise the consequences would not be so easy to imagine.
"In three days, come to Huangsha City, and I will look for you when the time comes. An old voice came, in the ears of the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man looked around and did not find the person who spoke, but from the voice he could identify the senior just now.
However, the middle-aged man was also surprised, because when he was out of the dust and old breath before, he was obviously the same as his master, but why did he feel that something was wrong? The middle-aged man stood on this mountain peak for a long time, and finally shook his head and flew towards the bottom of the mountain.
......
In a small courtyard of Zhuo's house, two teenagers were talking in the courtyard.
"Zhuo Jin, I don't know, what do you think of the big competition in the clan after half a year?" The person who spoke was Zhuo Yun, who had just returned from the back mountain. Zhuo Yun returned to his residence in astonishment all the way, even when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he didn't understand why Chen Lao gave him a holiday. When Zhuo Yun returned home, he found that Zhuo Jin was practicing the boxing technique when Zhuo Yun had just left, Breaking Mountain Boxing. Zhuo Jin also stopped practicing when he saw Zhuo Yun coming back, and sat down to talk to Zhuo Yun. After all, the two have already talked about things, and there is no deep hatred.
Zhuo Jin heard Zhuo Yun's question, and said with a touch of perseverance on his face: "If I can break through to the spirit realm in front of the big competition, I can be sure to enter the top three." ”
"What? Originally, Zhuo Yun thought that he could get the first place when he reached the spirit realm.
"Well, I also just got the news, and yesterday when my father came to visit me, he brought bad news. You're still coming back then. Zhuo Jin saw Zhuo Yun's surprised expression, thinking that Zhuo Yun was surprised that the cultivation of the Spirit Realm was already very high, and he didn't care, so he answered Zhuo Yun, and Zhuo Jin's eyes also flashed a trace of regret.
"What's the news?" Zhuo Yun didn't care that Zhuo Jin's father came to visit Zhuo Jin, and continued to ask. After all, whoever has a child who is not at home, the elders in the family will miss it.
"Well, I heard my father say that a few days ago, the patriarch and the elders discussed the matter of Tabi within the clan and issued several new rules. The original intra-clan competition, which only direct children can participate, has been changed to the children of the entire family can participate, as long as the surname is Zhuo, they have the right to participate. Moreover, the number of places where only the first place could enter the top floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was raised to three. That is, the top three can enter the top layer. In addition, the reward for the first place is that in addition to the original ability to get a yellow-level high-level weapon, you can also get a half-pillar Xuanling Grass, which is the Xuan-level low-level spiritual grass that your father obtained half a year ago. Zhuo Jin sorted out his thoughts and said patiently.
"It was this set of rules and generous rewards that made those who didn't want to participate in the clan competition red-eyed and desperately cultivating. My father said that the reason why we want to expand the number of participants is because the Ling family and the Feng family in Huangsha City are also like this, and they want to make the new strength of the family more powerful, and second, because a small genius has appeared in a side branch of our Zhuo family, and after half a year, he will be eighteen years old, and he will not exceed the prescribed age of eighteen years at the time of the big competition, and he is now in the early stage of the spiritual realm. ”
"I didn't expect that there would be such a character in the side branch. Zhuo Yun was also very surprised when he heard Zhuo Jin say this, because in the Zhuo family, except for the direct line of the patriarch and elders, there were very few people who could cultivate to the Xuan Realm in their lifetime. How could a person who was only eighteen years old and could cultivate to the early stage of the Spirit Realm not be valued by the family? Even in the direct line, there were very few people who could cultivate to the Spirit Realm before the age of eighteen.
Zhuo Jin was not delayed by Zhuo Yun's interjection, swallowed his saliva and continued: "Well, this person has been taken to the Zhuo family manor by the family, and he is ready to focus on training. In addition to this, there are several people who are more perverted. One is the granddaughter of the head of the Lei Sect, Zhuo Rui. One year older than me, sixteen. And he has stayed in the Nine Stages of Qi Whirl for almost half a year. There is also Zhuo Lei's boy's cousin, Zhuo Tan. At the age of seventeen, he has been in the early stage of the spiritual realm for half a year. Zhuo Lei, don't let me run into you at the big competition. I don't have to worry about the rest, I think I will be the fourth person among the young children of our Zhuo family to enter the spiritual realm. When Zhuo Jin said about Zhuo Lei, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, if Zhuo Lei was in front of Zhuo Jin now, Zhuo Jin wanted to tear him apart. Who let Zhuo Lei once use Zhuo Jin as cannon fodder, this is also his own fault.
"Zhuo Tan, I hope you don't have to be the same as Zhuo Lei. When Zhuo Yun heard Zhuo Jin talk about Zhuo Lei's cousin, Zhuo Yun's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he secretly felt in his heart.
"Zhuo Yun, don't worry, I won't let Zhuo Lei's kid have a good time. Zhuo Jin looked at Zhuo Yun's appearance and knew that when he talked about Zhuo Lei, it affected Zhuo Yun. After half a year of getting along, since Zhuo Yun no longer hates himself, Zhuo Jin also regards Zhuo Yun as a friend, and wants to be angry for Zhuo Yun, but also for himself.
"Then thank you in advance, I really don't know, Zhuo Lei still dares to participate. Zhuo Yun heard Zhuo Jin's words, and his face returned to normal. Thank you for your generosity. But what Zhuo Jin didn't know was that he was able to cultivate, and if he met Zhuo Lei, he would definitely not be soft. Zhuo Yun also didn't say anything, and everything could be known after half a year.
Zhuo Jin felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhuo Yun thank him, and hurriedly said to Zhuo Yun: "Zhuo Yun, you don't have to thank me, I am ashamed of you."
"Let's go over the past" Zhuo Yun didn't want to be entangled in this matter anymore, and waved his hand to Zhuo Jin.
After Zhuo Yun finished speaking, he walked towards his room, Zhuo Jin, who stayed in place, looked at Zhuo Yun who left, and thought about what had happened before, Zhuo Jin felt that he had done well enough, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "It seems that Zhuo Yun is not so easy to let go of this matter." Let's go with the flow. ”
Zhuo Yun, who returned to the house, lay down on his bed, thinking back to what Zhuo Jin said about the big competition in the clan before. Unexpectedly, the rules of the big competition within the clan have changed so much. It turned out that the side branches of the Zhuo family could participate in the intra-clan competition, but from the perspective of the overall development of the Zhuo family, this decision was indeed a good choice. But from Zhuo Yun's personal point of view, doing so would only add a lot of pressure to himself. It's not so easy to get the first place yourself. In addition to Zhuo Jin and Zhuo Rui, who are about to enter the spiritual realm, there is also a dark horse, and the Zhuo family has a strong opponent who has entered the spiritual realm. In addition, the most surprising thing is that how could Zhuo Lei's cousin have already entered the spiritual realm, Zhuo Yun laughed at himself and seemed to be really degenerate over the years, and even the elite of the family didn't know. If Zhuo Tan broke through again half a year later and broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
Zhuo Yun thought about it, and decided that it was the king to improve his cultivation now. Listen to the old man today and rest well, and start tomorrow to continue the devilish training. For the big competition within the clan, Zhuo Yun's idea is that if he doesn't participate, he will win.
Zhuo Yun fell asleep after thinking about it. When Zhuo Yun opened his eyes again, it was already early in the morning of the next day. Zhuo Yun looked at the sky outside and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am really tired during this time." ”
Then Zhuo Yun got up and washed up, said hello to Zhuo Jin and walked towards the back mountain, when Zhuo Yun walked to the open space, he saw that the old man was already there, and he was still holding a black stick-like thing in his hand, because the distance was a little far, Zhuo Yun only saw an outline.
