Chapter Twenty-Four: Heavenly Master and Taoist
The head wolf stepped forward, and his two green eyes stared at Ye Chen.
In the next second, without the slightest fancy, the head wolf accelerated straight towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen clenched the big iron knife, and the moment the head wolf jumped up, he did not retreat but advanced, and his body suddenly sank, drilling towards the head wolf's abdomen.
I wanted to hit the head wolf in the abdomen with a knife, but the head wolf reacted very quickly, and when Ye Chen rushed forward, he could see Ye Chen's tricks.
The huge wolf claw stretched out and fanned straight towards Ye Chen, who was fanned out by this claw seven or eight meters away.
He got up after rolling on the ground with a donkey, his shoulder was sore and hot, he didn't have high-grade armor to resist, and when he looked down, the thunderwolf's claws had cut through his leather armor, and the three paw prints made his shoulder scalp open and bloody.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and raised his head, now he didn't have time to worry about the wound, and now he was distracted, and it was very likely that he would bury his life here.
The head wolf lowered his center of gravity and rushed again, Ye Chen held the knife in his backhand and aimed the tip of the knife at the head wolf.
The big iron knife stabbed out suddenly, but the cunning head wolf dodged and slashed at Ye Chen with another claw.
Ye Chen raised his hand, and with the power of the flames, he slapped it at the wolf's claws.
Boom ββ!
After a muffled sound, the head wolf quickly retreated, only to see that the soles of his forefeet and the hair on his legs were burned, and at this time the three legs landed on the ground, looking a little funny, obviously injured.
Ye Chen's side didn't take advantage of it, although he repelled the thunder wolf with one palm, there were also a few more bloody cuts on his forearm, and blood continued to ooze out of the wound.
"Hey, boy, looks like you need help?"
Just when Ye Chen was a little desperate, an old voice suddenly came into his ears.
The head wolf was also taken aback, and kept paying attention to Ye Chen, but he didn't notice when another human was standing nearby.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, he suddenly turned around and saw the old man standing neatly dressed on a big tree behind him at the moment.
"Master, help!" Ye Chen shouted at the old man.
"Since I have appeared, I want to protect you."
The old man jumped down from the tree with a smile, different from ordinary people, the old man's body was like a fairy wind bone, as if it was as light as nothing, and slowly floated down, Ye Chen, who looked at it with this hand, was envious, how strong is this strength to control the strength to such a point.
Thunderwolf looked at the newly emerged human with some vigilance, "What, you still want to fight me?" The old man looked at the wolf in front of him without changing his face, and said with a smile.
The thunder wolf roared angrily, as if his dignity had been challenged, and the roar rushed towards the two of them downstairs.
"Retreatβ"
The old man reached out with one hand, and with a gentle push in the air, the head wolf flew upside down and fell on a big tree twenty or thirty meters away, letting out a scream of pain.
After landing and getting up, he looked at the old man in horror, and after hesitating for a while, he disappeared into the forest with his tail between his legs.
Seeing this, the rest of the thunderwolves scattered one after another.
Ye Chen looked at the wolves who had cornered him, and was coaxed away by the old man with such a gentle push.
Strength! This world is indeed the world of the strong!
"Thank you, old man, for coming to the rescue!" Ye Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked the old man in front of him.
"Hehe, I have to thank you in advance, boy, if you hadn't taken me back to the cave, I'm afraid I would have become food in the mouth of an unknown demon beast in this spirit beast mountain." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Boy, do you want to be stronger?"
A simple sentence made Ye Chen's heart beat suddenly.
Although his talent is very good now, it is not surprising that the best result is to join the Royal Forest Army or law enforcement team at the age of fifteen.
and then spend an ordinary life, of course, it is possible to die in the army early, after all, the soldiers of this era are no more than the peaceful era that they have crossed over.
Fighting, strife, and dealing with all sorts of supernatural situations can lead to death.
Ye Chen looked at the old man, his heart moved, "I want to think about it, I think about it in my dreams!" β
"Sir, do you have a way to make me stronger?"
At this time, the old man looked unfathomable, and said with an arrogant face, "Then there must be, if my Heavenly Master Dao people can't make him stronger, then no one can make him stronger." β
Heavenly Master Daoist! Ye Chen's eyes lit up, although he hadn't heard of it, he felt very powerful when he heard it.
"But I have very strict standards for accepting apprentices......" When he said this, he also looked at Ye Chen, whose eyes were full of light.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it's okay, old sir!"
Seeing that Ye Chen had already gone to the Dao, the old man looked at Ye Chen's whole body up and down, and finally said with a reluctant look, "You barely meet the standards." β
In fact, in the past few days, the old man has a lot of good feelings towards Ye Chen.
Although he pretended to be unconscious, Ye Chen scrubbed himself every day and changed his dressing, and he saw all this.
A person with an unhealthy mind will not be like this, and the reason why the old man has not accepted apprentices for a long time is that he has not met a person whose conduct satisfies him and who has outstanding talent for qi training.
"Do you want to be an Onmyoji?" The Heavenly Master Daoist asked slowly.
Hearing this somewhat familiar and unfamiliar name, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then rummaged in his mind.
Onmyoji, stargazing, knowing disasters, knowing the past and the future, refining elixirs, drawing talismans, and across the two worlds of yin and yang, a special qi practitioner monk, known for being able to control the power of yin and yang, has the power to change life against the sky.
The status of the Onmyoji in this world is much higher than that of ordinary Qi practitioners, and it is not far to say that the elixir that Ye Chen took in the Qi Training Hall was from the hands of the Onmyoji.
There are all kinds of harsh conditions for becoming an onmyoji, but remembering that the Heavenly Master Daoist said just now that he barely met the standard, Ye Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then overjoyed.
"You mean, I can also become an Onmyoji?"
Heavenly Master Daoist looked at Ye Chen's ecstatic appearance and nodded, "It's just barely enough to meet the conditions, who made me owe you a life, it should be regarded as a favor for you......"
"So, old man, you are also an onmyoji?"
Looking at Ye Chen's unbelievable eyes, the old man held his head high at this time, his face was proud, and he was full of confidence, "That's right, the old man is an onmyoji!" β
At this time, Ye Chen felt that the image of this old man instantly became tall and majestic, Onmyoji, this is the existence at the top of the pyramid!
"How about it, would you like to learn from me?" The old man looked at Ye Chen's adoring and fanatical gaze while the iron was hot, and asked.
"Yes, of course I do!" Ye Chen nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
This is not a matter of choosing one or the other at all, the Onmyoji, even if it is like the family in Fuzhou Town, must be politely respected as a guest seat.
"Well, then you don't apprentice?"
The Heavenly Master Daoist stroked his beard and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen did not hesitate at all, and seriously bowed to the master, and it was not until the whole process was over that the old man nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, it is an older person who attaches great importance to this kind of etiquette.
"The old man's name is dustless, from now on, you and I will call each other master and apprentice." After Ye Chen finished apprenticeship, the old man's tone of voice became much kinder.
"Yes, master!"
"Master, how are you going to train me? I am still in the Qi Training Hall, and I am a student in the inner hall. Ye Chen asked.
"Qi Practice? At most, it's just fooling ordinary people, but in fact, practicing a fart is at most a soldier training base......"
Is practicing Qitang a fart? If the people in Fuzhou Town heard this, they would definitely treat him as a madman.
Ye Chen looked at the disdain on the old man's face and didn't seem to be joking, who is this Heavenly Master Daoist sacred?
"My parents are still in the town, and the apprentice can't leave his parents behind for the time being, but I'm afraid that he still has to return to Fuzhou Town, I don't know what the master wants?"
Ye Chen was worried about this apprenticeship, the old man in front of him was about to take him away, and his parents were still looking forward to going back to him in the town, he couldn't be an unfilial son.
Hearing Ye Chen say this, instead of getting angry, the old man couldn't help but nod in his heart.
How many people have treacherously forgotten their father and mother when they have wealth and wealth, but Ye Chen's words made Wuchenzi very happy to listen to them.
"Let's go!" Wuchenzi looked at Ye Chen and smiled, striding away.
"But master, I ......" Ye Chen was puzzled, and followed anxiously.
"Let's go, Fuzhou Town!"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of excitement, "Thank you, master!" β
