The master and apprentice were cross-legged on the futon, looking at each other, but no one spoke for a long time.

In the entire hut, except for the faint sound of the oil lamp burning, only the fifth senior brother Guo Tao who was eating in the corner was left with a burst of chewing and swallowing sounds.

After a long while, Guo Tao stopped eating, and then asked angrily: "Then am I about to become a teacher?" ”

Ji Yuan and Zhang Zhiya glared at him angrily almost at the same time, and the emotions that had been brewing for a long time were so self-defeating.

"If you have a decision in mind, then feel free to do it."

The old Taoist priest stretched his waist and shook the dust in his hand: "Hasn't this Xuantian Temple been passed to you?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Yuan flipped his palm, and took out the iron plate engraved with 'Xuantian Ten', and a sudden look appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that this was the token of the Xuantian Guan, and when Master Zhang Zhiya handed it over to him, he was already the new master of the Xuantian Guan.

Although the current Taoist temple is in a dilapidated state, relying on him alone to support the scene, as long as he nods, there will be a monstrous opportunity to fall immediately.

"Actually, Jiuxuanmen is also very good, the place where the immortal family cultivates, and when you look up, you can see the fairy walking in the sky."

The old Taoist priest laughed and winked at his little apprentice.

Ji Yuanquan didn't see it, and put away the iron card casually, and he already had a preliminary decision in his heart.

"Boy, bring one hundred and eighty taels of silver."

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Zhang Zhiya suddenly said: "I don't want snowflake silver, and I don't want money bank tickets, just folk silver ingots." ”

Although he had doubts, Ji Yuan still took out one hundred and fifty taels of silver ingots and placed them in front of his master.

He didn't ask what it was for, and after a respectful salute, he turned and left the hut.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw it to the fifth senior brother in the corner, a small bag purchased from the Three Swords Society, which contained an elixir for martial artists.

This elixir specializes in replenishing qi and blood, as well as providing a large amount of essence qi, supplemented by grain essence, as long as one is taken, it is enough to support the consumption of ordinary martial artists all day.

If you sell it outside, you can sell it for a dozen taels of silver.

After returning to the small courtyard, seeing that everyone was basically meditating and teasing, recovering the essence and mana consumed before, Ji Yuan took a light step and quietly walked outside his house.

He looked through the door and saw that Zhao Yuebai was still asleep, so he sat down directly on the steps of the door and beckoned a middle-aged nurse.

"Can you tell me about Zhao Yuebai?"

He pondered for a moment before turning his head to look at the squatting courtyard beside him.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then some excitement appeared on his face, he was also present at the time of the conversation of several people in the room before, so he naturally heard it very clearly.

At that moment, he told everything he knew, everything about Zhao Yuebai, in every detail.

In his words, his love for this little young master was not hidden at all, and there was no need to hide it.

In the years when Zhao Wuxian returned from traveling far away and brought back Zhao Yuebai, although the Zhao family was very concerned about this little young master, it was more because of the old man's orders.

But when Zhao Yuebai was five or six years old, he began to jump up and down in the mansion, bringing a little unprecedented vitality to the Zhao family, which was serious and silent in the past.

Over the years, Zhao Yuebai would sneak into the martial arts arena almost every day, watching them practice martial arts, and often secretly bring some pastries in his house, or eat from the room.

It seems that for this precocious young master, watching them eat the food he secretly brought every day, and listening to them boast to each other, is the happiest moment of the day.

In fact, they also knew that this little young master knew very well in his heart that almost only one and a half of the ten sentences said by the martial artists in front of him could be believed, and the rest were just bragging.

Even in the remaining nine and a half sentences, there was a lot of dirty and vulgar scolding.

But these have never affected Zhao Yuebai's eyes showing sincere admiration when listening to the story.

It seems that for this boy, although he knows in his heart that the adults in front of him are bragging, he still feels that this is the real Jianghu, and the nurses in his family are all heroes who have learned peerless martial arts.

It's just that the rivers and lakes are tired, so they came here to rest and rest, maybe one day they will leave, and continue to do the heroic deeds of seeing injustice and killing demons.

"The reason why we nurtors like the little master has nothing to do with his status, it's just that he is always so sincere no matter who he is."

The middle-aged nurse laughed, and the expression on his face was just as sincere.

In fact, they are in the rivers and lakes, and they have suffered a lot of white eyes, and even people who are a little miserable, otherwise they would not be willing to be a nurse.

After all, the position of nursing home is also a kind of subordinate, and even in the scolding of ordinary people, it is 'the dog who cares for the home'.

Only in front of this little young master did they experience an almost unfamiliar respect and worship, and there would always be a moment when they felt that they had really lived, and they would only appear when they usually bragmed.

After a long time, Ji Yuan nodded, his eyes flashing with thought.

Some of Zhao Yuansong's words are very reasonable, if Xuantianguan returns to the Nine Xuanmen Gate in the end, after getting the peak of the one-line inheritance, someone will inevitably need to be in charge.

And on his own, it will undoubtedly be very hard to support.

If there are more people, even if there are only one or two people, they can survive the first few years, and only after the cultivation level comes up a little bit, can they be regarded as gaining a firm foothold.

Zhao Yuebai is indeed a very good choice, his own cultivation talent is very good, otherwise he would not be regarded as the object of Zhao Wuxian and taken home to spend nearly ten years cultivating.

In addition, his body contains the vitality accumulated by the old locust tree for hundreds of years, as well as the cultivation of the peak of the Second Realm, it only takes a few years, and he is at least a Second Realm cultivator.

You don't even need to be taught, just the work of a water mill is enough.

If there is any accumulation in the Nine Xuanmen Library, or even the cultivation of the Xuantian Dao Sutra, it is not to say that it is invincible in the same realm, at least it is not comparable to ordinary monks.

It's just that in addition to the willingness of both parties, there are also a lot of particularities in the matter of accepting apprentices, and the most important thing is to see whether the two parties are like-minded.

Otherwise, there may be a situation where the appearance is detached, or even the deception of the teacher and the destruction of the ancestors, and the cleaning of the portal.

In addition to these exquisiteness, the best choice for Zhao Yuebai at this time is indeed to worship the Xuantian Temple and return to the Nine Xuanmen together.

Otherwise, if he goes to another sect, Zhao Yuebai, who has no foundation, can really be said to have an unpredictable future, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

"The young master is awake! The young master is awake! ”

In the room behind him, Liao Qiming's excited voice suddenly came out: "The little master has woken up!" ”

Hearing this, several people in the small courtyard opened their eyes one after another, and after some thought, they continued to close their eyes and meditate, without getting up to come over to participate.

Except for a few Zhao family nurses, only Ji Yuan got up and walked into his house after a little silence.

At this time, Zhao Yuebai had already woken up, sitting on the bed with a little distracted eyes, looking at a few familiar faces in front of her, and seemed a little helpless for a while.

After a full quarter of an hour, he slowly came back to his senses, but the look on his face suddenly darkened.

"Young Master Yuebai?"

Liao Qiming stepped forward and called softly.

After half a ring, Zhao Yuebai raised his head, and a reluctant smile appeared on his little face: "I already know everything." ”

Before Zhao Wuxian decided to slaughter the entire Zhao family, he had already imprisoned him and placed him on a black platform underground.

It was also at that time that Zhao Yuebai learned the truth about his life experience from the mouth of the person he had called 'father' for several years.

Later, in the trunk of the old locust tree, when the rich soul power was integrated into his soul, he finally recalled the appearance of the young couple when he was a baby.

"I really want to find my real ...... mom and dad"

Zhao Yuebai wanted to be stronger, but when she thought of the pair of faces in her memory, she couldn't help but almost cry.

That aggrieved look seemed to be a hard pinch in the hearts of several people.

A group of five big and three rough men suddenly became a little at a loss, and they gathered around the boy and wanted to comfort him, but they couldn't hold back a complete sentence when they opened their mouths for a long time.

This scene looks somewhat ridiculous.

But fortunately, Zhao Yuebai quickly restrained his emotions, although he was a little reluctant, he still smiled at the people around him, and gently shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"Zhao Yuebai, there are some things that you still need to know now."

After the boy's mood stabilized, Ji Yuan dragged a chair and sat in front of the other party.

He pondered for a moment, and under Zhao Yuebai's puzzled gaze, he detailed what happened to the Zhao family and the situation on his body.

In order to prevent the other party from being misty, he had to patiently explain some key points.

In this way, Ji Yuan talked in one breath for half an hour before he could be regarded as telling the events of these days, and at the same time briefly mentioning the situation after that.

Among them, there is a matter of Zhao Yuebai's apprenticeship.

"At least from my point of view, it would be the best choice for you to worship me as a teacher."

Ji Yuan thought for a while, and then added: "If you think I'm too young, I can also invite my master here, so that we can be regarded as senior brothers in the future." ”

He bluntly stated that whether he worships him as a teacher or becomes a brother, there is only good and no harm to him, and there is no need to worry that they are just using themselves.

Because once they worship the Xuantian Temple, they will form a situation of both prosperity and loss, they need Zhao Yuebai to grow up and be able to sit on one side in the future, and Zhao Yuebai will also need the huge resources of the Nine Xuanmen.

In this way, Ji Yuan naturally only thinks that their feelings for each other are not deep enough, how can they do harmful things.

"Or if you don't want to worship the Xuantian Temple, I naturally won't force it."

Under the gaze of those clean eyes, he couldn't help but mention it in the end.

And as Ji Yuan's words fell, the four nurses on the side gave Zhao Yuebai a look, signaling that he must agree.

Even if there is no huge resource of the Nine Xuanmen, the acceptance of an inbound monk, even if it is just a mountain and wild cultivator, is enough to make the rich and noble people fight for it with silver and grab their heads.

Even if this monk is only a cultivator.

It is different from the martial arts who can endure hardships and add enough silver taels to achieve the realm of skin and flesh.

In order to become a monk, in addition to familiarizing one's soul with all kinds of sage books, one also needs an enlightenment mantra and practice techniques that are extremely difficult to buy in the market.

Although with Zhao Yuebai's current situation, he will definitely be able to cross that hurdle and become a powerful monk in the future, but it does not mean that he can sit back and relax.

The monks in the world pay the most attention to their heels, and there has never been a concept of a hero born recklessly, whether he is famous and upright, whether he is born orthodox or not, if he is missing one of them, he will often be alienated.

And Jiuxuanmen is not only a famous and decent family, but also an orthodox immortal family, commanding the cultivation forces of a county.

It's just that Zhao Yuebai turned a blind eye to the eyes of the four people, and just looked at Ji Yuan's eyes calmly.

In front of the former's clean and pure eyes, which seem to be able to see through people's hearts, the latter is also upright, and does not look at it at all.

After a long time, Zhao Yuebai suddenly smiled happily, and then climbed down from the bed.

With his shoes and socks on, he walked in front of Ji Yuan in a few steps, straightened the clothes on his body, and then knelt down on his knees.

"Disciple Yuebai, meet Master!"

He kowtowed three times in a row, shouted respectfully, and then looked at his 'master' with a curious expression.

Ji Yuan was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and some of the several sets of rhetoric that had been brewed a long time ago were immediately useless.

He hurriedly helped Zhao Yuebai up, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say, after all, this was also the first time in his life that he had accepted an apprentice, and he really had no experience, so he could only scratch his head subconsciously.

Seeing this, several nursing homes on the side couldn't help laughing, and even Zhao Yuebai couldn't help it, and laughed stupidly.
