The down-and-out Taoist glanced at him with a smile and said, "You are so smart, can't you guess?" ”

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "You want to take me as an apprentice?" No...... Before today, maybe you just wanted to take me as an apprentice, but after you found out that I can tell fortunes today, I'm afraid it's not just an apprentice. ”

"It's smart."

The smile on the corner of the down-and-out Taoist man's mouth deepened, "Yes, before today, I only saw that you were born with a spiritual light, and you must be talented, you should have some kind of innate supernatural power, but I don't know what kind of supernatural power it is, until today, your calculation is so accurate, I know that your innate supernatural power is really a fortune teller." ”

He looked at Lin Lan and said, "However, since you have such a talent and supernatural powers, why did you have to swagger and deceive in the past?" When did your innate supernatural powers awaken? ”

Lin Lan suddenly understood in his heart, and said slowly: "It didn't take long. ”

Now it seems that the so-called innate aura, talent, and so-called innate supernatural powers probably refer to his ability to 'foresee the end'.

Although he didn't awaken in the past, he was born with a spiritual light, so he was discovered by this demon master.

"Put this treasure on." The down-and-out Taoist suddenly waved his sleeves, and a jade ring floated and flew in front of Lin Lan, "This treasure is the best at covering up his breath, and he also has a little protective ability, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift for the teacher." ”

Lin Lan glanced at the ring and said, "I didn't agree to worship you as a teacher. ”

The down-and-out Taoist said casually: "Apprenticeship, or death, you can choose." ”

Lin Lan's face did not change, and he still said calmly: "Even if I don't apprentice, you won't kill me." ”

"Are you so sure?" The down-and-out Daoist narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "You are too confident in your ability to calculate. ”

Lin Lan glanced at the corpse in the county office, and said lightly: "If you want to take me away, you only need one sentence, why bother to kill it?" If it's just to cover up your own whereabouts, you don't care about it for the past two months, so why do you just kill it now? ”

He paused, "There must be other more important things that make you feel that there is no possibility of leaking secrets, and you can't let the news of fortune-telling get out." ”

The down-and-out Taoist was silent for a long time, and then said: "It is difficult for people who are too smart to live long. ”

"Life and death are fate." Lin Lan said calmly.

The down-and-out Taoist smiled, "I know you don't like people like me who kill innocents indiscriminately, and it's normal that you don't want to worship me as a teacher." ”

He said with a smile: "But you should understand that after this matter is over, after you are useless to me, I may still kill you, but if you worship me as a teacher and tie me to a boat, you and I are a master and apprentice, and you are of great use to me, I will naturally not kill you." ”

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Then let's wait for this matter to be over." ”

"Okay, I'll give you some time."

The down-and-out Taoist waved his sleeve robe indifferently, and a faint gray cloud gushed out from his sleeve, which quickly gathered to form a cloud-like light gray cloud, enveloping Lin Lan and him in it.

Lin Lan only felt an invisible and flexible force holding his body up, as if he was not affected by gravity, and the whole person was floating in this cloud with a light feather.

He couldn't help but look at the clouds around him, and thought to himself, could this be the legendary cloud control technique?

The corners of the down-and-out Taoist's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "If you worship me as a teacher, this shadowless flying technique will be taught to you, how about it?" ”

Lin Lan was silent for a while and said, "Sounds good." ”

"Haha, there's more to it, you'll know it later."

Hearing the down-and-out Taoist laugh, the seemingly ethereal gray cloud directly wrapped the two of them and soared into the air, and at the same time, the cloud continued to fade until it was almost completely transparent, and the figure in the cloud also disappeared, and immediately flew into the sky.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's because he has been floating in the clouds, always in a state of weightlessness, and he can't feel the fierce wind outside the clouds, the experience of flying the clouds and fog is quite good, Lin Lan didn't sleep much from last night to today, he was sleepy and tired, and he only took a few mouthfuls of food, and fell asleep in the clouds under hunger.

When he felt a stream of ice running through his scalp, he woke up again to find that the clouds had fallen in a garden.

When the foot touches the ground, the cloud also dissipates without a trace.

There are lush flowers and plants around, almost all of them are yellow flowers and plants such as marigolds and yellow locusts, and there is a huge ginkgo tree growing next to the wall, which is already golden in late autumn, and the ground is covered with golden ginkgo leaves.

Through the garden doorway not far away, you can see the scattered pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, just like the mansions of the powerful.

The down-and-out Taoist glanced at Lin Lan with a smile and said, "Seeing that you were sleeping quite deeply, I used a little trick to wake you up." ”

"What is this place?" Lin Lan asked.

"This is the county guard of your Guannan County Town, and it is considered the shelter of one of my apprentices." The down-and-out Taoist said, "You stay with her for the time being, and when I am ready, I will come back to you." ”

"Kannan Commander?"

When Lin Lan heard this, his heart moved, and he said softly: "After my case was reported to the governor of Mingzhou, it should have been personally supervised by the local Guannan county guard, but the county guard didn't come at all, but just sent an envoy, it seems that this Guannan county guard is either a person in your demon path, or a chess piece of yours." ”

The down-and-out Taoist smiled and said, "My apprentice is a little greedy for glory and wealth, so he just borrowed it from this county guard's mansion. ”

Lin Lan didn't say anything, but the 'borrowing' that the people in the Demon Dao said was probably not as simple as borrowing.

"Here we are."

The down-and-out Taoist turned his head to look at the doorway surrounded by lush flowers and plants.

After a while, I saw a large group of people walking in from behind the doorway, and it was a handsome man in colorful clothes, surrounded by a gorgeous woman at the head.

The woman was about twenty or thirty years old, wearing a long-sleeved red Luo dress, embroidered gold cloud shoulders and red xia curtains, covered with yellow and red gauze shirts, and tied a red silk ribbon around her waist, with a charming appearance and graceful posture, and a pair of white and clean jade feet under the skirt, running in this courtyard full of gold leaves and yellow flowers, and the bright and fiery red dress silk fluttered, like a jumping lotus flower in the fire.

"Master!"

I saw the gorgeous woman walking quickly, and after calling out in a choked voice, she pushed away the two male pets beside her, and knelt directly in front of the down-and-out Taoist.

hugged his legs on the spot, and pressed his smooth and clean face against the hem of the robe that had not been changed for a long time, allowing his clothes and cheeks to be stained with mud and dust, but he didn't care, his eyes were red.

"Master, you can count it, Sanniang is about to kill you." The gorgeous woman looked up at the down-and-out Taoist with tears in her eyes, choked up and said, "I received your flying book a few days ago, and Sanniang has been looking forward to you coming to see the apprentice, and now you are finally here." ”

As she spoke, tears were already rolling on her face, and she cried so much that she was raining.

The male pets on the side were all stunned and looked at this scene, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Miss me?"

The down-and-out Taoist laughed, suddenly raised his leg and broke away from the gorgeous woman, and then stepped on the big feet full of mud on the face of the gorgeous woman, and sneered: "Are you afraid that if I die outside, you won't be able to get the antidote to the lunar moon talisman, right?" ”

The gorgeous woman did not dislike it at all, but took the initiative to put her face against the soles of his feet, holding this stinky foot as if she was treating a heavy treasure, and said with tears: "Master, the apprentice naturally misses you more." ”

"Looks like he's really a good apprentice of mine."

The down-and-out Taoist smiled, put down his feet, reached into his arms and rubbed his armpits, took out a black pill and threw it on the ground in front of the gorgeous woman, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "The teacher has prepared it for you a long time ago, and I specially kept it for you, and it is still hot." ”

The gorgeous woman hurriedly picked up the pill on the ground as if she saw a life-saving straw, looked at the black dirt on it, hesitated for a moment, threw it into her mouth, raised her head and swallowed it.

Are people in the devil's way so heavy? Lin Lan watched from the sidelines, feeling a little sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit.

And the male pets were even more sluggish on the spot, and they seemed to have been hit to the point that their three views collapsed.

After the gorgeous woman took the pill, she stood up, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Master, you are willing to deign to come to see Sanniang, you have to treat you well and fulfill your filial piety, Sanniang has already asked the subordinates to prepare the luncheon, and asked the master to move to the main hall." ”

She looked at Lin Lan next to her again, and asked, "By the way, Master, I don't know who this little Langjun is?" ”

"This is Lin Lan, Lin Anran, maybe it will be your senior brother in the future." The down-and-out Taoist said lightly: "You are so good at entertaining, if you dare to be half a point of neglect, you can blame the teacher for being ruthless." ”

"Senior brother?"

The gorgeous woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Lan with a smile like a flower, and said coquettishly: "I didn't expect Shizun to have the intention of accepting true disciples, but at first glance, the senior brother is the same informal and otherworldly person as Shizun, no wonder he can be loved by Shizun, the concubine is called Yan Sanniang, senior brother, you call me Sanniang." ”

Informal?

Lin Lan suddenly reacted, he hadn't taken a bath for two months, so he was naturally as unkempt and ragged as this down-and-out Taoist priest, and he didn't look much better than a beggar.

He said lightly: "I haven't agreed to be his apprentice yet, and I don't like this dirty and smelly appearance, can you prepare some bathwater for me?" ”

Yan Sanniang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Lin Lan to dare to speak like this, she couldn't help but move her throat nervously, and looked at the down-and-out Taoist cautiously, her eyes faintly panicked.

The down-and-out Taoist said coldly: "See what I do? Why don't you get some bathwater? Go prepare two buckets, since Enron doesn't like dirty smells, then I'll wash them too. ”

Yan Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Yes, does the master need Sanniang to serve you in the bath?" ”

"No need, if you dislike it, I dislike you." The down-and-out Taoist waved his hand and said, "Lin Lan hasn't cultivated yet, you must not provoke him, all the methods you have used in your daily life will be put away obediently for me, you know?" ”

"Sanniang knows."

Yan Sanniang nodded obediently, and then said in a coquettish voice: "What did the master say, it's too late for the apprentice to get close to the master, if I can serve you, it will be the honor of the apprentice, where will I dislike it?" ”
