The convulsions continued for several breaths before Sun Li calmed down again. looked at the old man silently, thinking about something in his heart, and didn't speak again for a long time.

The old man couldn't help but be a little hairy, his body quietly took a step back, and said with a wary face: "Boy, what do you want to do! I warn you, this is my territory, and my apprentices are all here! It's not that I'm talking big, I may not be able to beat you, but my apprentices, hum, any one of them can beat you ten! And if you alarm my big apprentice, you just call God, and it won't be useful." ”

Sun Li pursed his lips, he didn't pay attention to the old man's words at all, but he didn't do anything, he just sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't do it, I just want to talk to you about something." ”

"Oh, that's pretty much it. The old man was relieved.

"Let's get it straight. Sun Li was straight to the point and very honest, "Although I don't know how great your ability is as a great person, but there must be no problem in getting a sea boat, right? I came to you just to ask you to help me get a sea ship to Datang, and you can say what conditions you have." ”

After listening to the words, the old man rolled his eyes, looked up, and asked tentatively, "The sea ship going to Datang?" So, your kid is going to Datang?"

Sun Li looked at the old man and was too lazy to speak, is this not clear.

The old man was bored, coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and then pretended to say: "Do you want to go to the sea ship in Datang, I can naturally get it, but is this condition?"

"Feel free to mention it, as long as it's not excessive. Sun Li said seriously.

"Alright then, then you worship me as a teacher!" the old man immediately decided.

Sun Li frowned, looking at the old man and frowning deeply, "This is a bit excessive, isn't it? Besides, you are not like you said before, you lack apprentices, why do you want to catch me and let me go?"

As a result, as soon as the old man heard this, his face immediately drooped, and he said with a sad face, "Do you think I want to do this, but that's not, when I was young and ignorant, I took in more than a dozen apprentices with the mentality of preferring to be indiscriminate, but the apprentices taught it, but they didn't listen to me anymore." Let's just say that the second apprentice has a lot of money, her family is so rich, rich and rivals the country, but she doesn't respect me for a single copper, so I want to eat a fish, and I have to go fishing myself, but the hook is lost.

For the rest, it's pretty much the same. Even the youngest Wei Qingqing is the same-tell him to do something, it's hard to die. He who does not speak with a dry mouth does not promise all kinds of benefits, and he who does not move. Tell me, I'm so old again, is it easy? Can you no longer accept a few more obedient apprentices and support the elderly!"

The old man's words are very pitiful, and the content should be true, after all, Wei Qingqing's performance was on the front side, but Sun Li didn't sympathize, just glanced at the old man, and said seriously: "You have to think about it, let me be an apprentice, it may not be better than them." I don't want to mention what happened on the mountain road, but it's there anyway. ”

"This ...... That's right. The old man thought for a long time, nodded thoughtfully, and said with some vigilance, "Since this is the case, I won't accept you as a closed disciple, just count yourself as a registered disciple first, and then look at your performance." In addition, aren't you going to Datang's sea boat, then you can help me do two things, when it's done, I'll help you get it, and ensure that you arrive at Datang smoothly, quickly, and whistling like the wind!"

The old man said several adjectives in a row to increase his weight, but Sun Li grasped the core of this transaction, "Two things, changing a ship, is it a bit excessive?"

"Not too much, not too much, the two things I asked you to do are just small things to help me get something, there is no danger, just a gesture. If it weren't for the fact that my apprentices couldn't command, if it weren't for my old arms and legs who didn't want to work hard, it wouldn't be your turn. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"Oh well. Sun Li finally agreed, then looked at the old man and asked, "Where is the thing?" I'll get it for you now?"

"Now?" the old man asked rhetorically, and then shook his head very hard, "No, no, not now, the two things I asked you to take now are not yet there." ”

"When will that be?"

"I can't say for sure, it's three to five days fast, three to five years slow...... March and May!" After the old man looked at Sun Li's face slightly stunned, he quickly changed his words.

Sun Li took a deep breath, looked at the old man, and said with a calm face, "So, it's possible for me to stay here for a little time?"

"Boy, don't be so fierce, what's wrong with staying here for half a year, anyway, I see that you are very idle. Moreover, I see that you are alone, quite lonely, and you don't have a good companion. It's better to work hard with me, I have three female apprentices here, aren't they all watery and watery, just hook up with one, that's not beautiful to you. The old man encouraged.

Sun Li glanced at the old man with a little eccentricity, and finally knew in his heart why his apprentices didn't treat him, if it was himself, it would be the same, this is an old turtle who is disrespectful and pimps!

But the old man didn't have any self-knowledge at all, so he just continued: "Also, these apprentices of mine are all cultivating to advanced great cultivators, you can also discuss the incomprehension of cultivation with them here, maybe you will be able to break through this bottleneck of the Na Ling Realm!"

"Hmm, can you tell that I'm the peak of Naling?" Sun Li was slightly surprised. The apprentices of the old man I had seen before, I could feel it, and every one of them was not weak in cultivation. But the old man's words are just an ordinary person who is true.

"Hmph, I can't see anything, I'm a real person!" the old man accentuated his tone on the last three words, and his face was swaggering.

Sun Li's eyes flickered, and he didn't delve deeper, but just thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I agreed." ”

"Clever!" the old man praised.

But Sun Li suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, you made me a registered disciple before?"

"That's right. ”

"Before, when I first came, you also asked your apprentice Wei Qingqing to introduce my original apprentice, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Then let me ask, what is my ranking?"

"Huh?"

"According to Wei Qingqing's introduction, I should be ranked thirteenth, that is, your thirteenth apprentice. But!" Sun Li's tone changed, and his gaze became a little sharp, "But, before, because of some misunderstandings, I seemed to be regarded as the third-ranked apprentice by your other apprentices. ”

"Oh. The old man said with a nonchalant face, "Whatever." I don't care what you rank first, you just want you to do it. If you can beat my big apprentice Zhao Zheng, who is in retreat, you can be ranked first. ”

"No, I'm asking about another thing, and that's what about the guy who was supposed to be in third place?"

Quiet!

There was a sudden silence around.

It took three breaths before the old man opened his mouth to break the peace.

"Ah, the third in line, among my apprentices, there doesn't seem to be the third in line, right?" the old man scratched his head, looking very confused.

"Why not? What taboo is there to not do? Why do you want to leave this ranking empty? Also, when Wei Qingqing introduced the residence just now, I observed it and found that the residence was all symmetrically established, divided into twelve positive ones opposite to the east and west. If you only need eleven apprentices, why do you have to build an extra residence?

"This ...... This ......" the old man frowned, frowned deeply, and finally said with a bitter face, "How do I know." I said that I don't have any money, and the rich ones are my second apprentices. So, the buildings on this mountain were all built by him at his expense, how do I know why she wants to build an extra one, maybe she thinks she can't live in a place, so she builds an extra one for backup, anyway, she has money. ”

As the old man spoke, his eyes showed three points of dissatisfaction, three parts of grief and three points of anger, three parts of sourness and one part of jealousy.

"Oh, I see. Sun Li looked at the old man's gaze, his eyes flashed slightly, he stopped the topic, did not continue to ask, and then looked at the empty room in the distance and said slowly, "Since this is the case, then I will stay first, and when your old man wants me to get something, I will help you get it, and then I can go to Datang, right?"

"Yes. ”

"That's good. Sun Li nodded again and walked into the only empty dwelling in the courtyard.

The old man stayed where he was, opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, holding his hands and lowering his head, and sneakily left.

And Sun Li walked into the residence, but found that the residence was not big, and the ground was covered with dust, and it took a lot of work to clean it, and then sat down, looked at the direction the old man left, and fell into deep thought.

A good good person? Many apprentices who are disobedient but have cultivated to a high level? All kinds of weird names? An empty third rank? Must become a requirement for apprentices? Do everything possible to keep your own means?

Coincidence? or conspiracy?

Did you think too much about it? Or was this a bureau?

Sun Li didn't figure it out for a long time, shook his head and stood up again, but he happened to see a plaque hanging in the residence, and found that there were three words written on it very nonsensically: Surprise Palace.

Stinged?
