"Old man, it was me who was wrong before, I didn't understand your good intentions, Jiang Li is here to make amends for you, and I hope that you will not remember the villain and accept Jiang Li." Jiang Li knelt down in front of the old man with a thud and said sincerely.

The old man is not shocked on the surface, but his heart is already happy, sample, fight with me, I eat more salt than you eat.

"Get up." The old man said, "When you went up the mountain, did you see those eight words?" ”

"See, it's a kneel on the third step, a bow at nine steps." Jiang Li replied.

"In this case, can you know the conditions for the old man to accept apprentices?"

What are the conditions for accepting apprentices? That's right! Jiang Li slapped his head, stood up, clasped his fists at the old man and said, "I'll go now." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu, who was behind, just came over, and when he saw Jiang Li running down the mountain again, the second monk was suddenly confused. Didn't you say you had figured it out? Why is it gone again?

"Master, why is he gone again?" Zhang Xiaoyu wailed.

"What? Reluctant? The old man laughed, he swore in the past to accept apprentices in this life, but by fate, only three people were accepted, and it seems that today is going to accept the last closed disciple.

……

Jiang Li was very emotional on the way down the mountain, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, his body was very light, and he could go down dozens of steps with a slight step.

In just a moment, Jiang Li came to the bottom of the mountain, and he looked around, but he didn't find the old fortune teller before, and felt a little regretful.

Soon, Jiang Li began a new round of apprenticeship challenges, one hundred steps, eight hundred steps...... Three thousand four hundred steps......

Jiang Li had never experienced such a relaxing feeling, and he was almost halfway there. But Jiang Li didn't feel the discomfort coming from his body at all, and his knees fell to the ground again and again, except for the dust sticking to the ground, there was not a trace of blood in sight.

Jiang Li smiled, maybe this is the real test of the old man, designing a target that is difficult for ordinary people to pass, and screening out not people who lack ability, but those who are not mentally adept.

Six thousand five hundred steps...... Nine thousand eight hundred steps......

Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty steps!

Jiang Li exhaled heavily, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and ran back along the forest path.

Zhang Xiaoyu was cleaning up the fallen leaves in the yard, when he heard the movement, he looked back and found that Jiang Li had run back again, and he was immediately stunned again, what is this doing? How did you come back again?

Jiang Li ran to the lake and knelt down again: "Master, please accept me." Then he knocked his head three times.

The old man looked at Jiang Li who was kneeling on the ground and smiled, "Get up, the old man has only two disciples in his life, and he will make an exception to accept you today, you are the closed disciple of the old man." From now on, I will cut off the old ancestor to seal the mountain gate and no longer accept disciples. ”

Broken Ancestor, it should really be such a domineering name, Jiang Li thought to himself.

"The old man's name is Zhu Qingtian, and the rivers and lakes are called the ancestor of the cang, boy, remember it."

"The disciple remembered." Jiang Li clenched his fists and said.

"Actually, a few years ago, we saw ...... on the day of Dayan's demise."

Jiang Li looked at him with a stunned expression.

"In the past, I owed a favor to the Dayan royal family, and when I learned the news that day, I wanted to go down the mountain to help, but I was still a step too late. I saw that everything had settled and that it was impossible to do anything, so I was about to leave, but on the way back, I met Xun Ji, who had just asked tens of thousands of pursuers behind him to escape with you in embarrassment......"

Zhu Qingtian sighed, and then said: "I discussed with Xun Ji, and felt that your situation at that time was still too dangerous, and a nascent dynasty would not tolerate your existence, so Xun Ji decided to take you to a small town called Yuehe Town in the east to live incognito, and he didn't even change your surname. ”

Jiang Li didn't speak, he lowered his head and listened silently. Zhu Qingtian lifted the fishing rod in front of him, threw it in another direction, and continued: "I discussed with Xun Ji, and when he is ready to start an incident, he will send you to me, follow me for three years, learn skills, and then return to the world." ”

"As for the later tests, you must have figured it out." Nagisa Qingtian turned his head and said.

Jiang Li nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect this little junior brother to have such an amazing background." Zhang Xiaoyu secretly appeared behind them at some point, eavesdropping on their conversation, and was amazed at this time.

"This is Zhang Xiaoyu, the second disciple of the teacher, who was an orphan who traveled down the mountain to pick up before the teacher, and saw that he had nowhere to go, so he made him a disciple of the teacher. People are still loyal and honest, but this qualification is not good, and it is difficult to become a big tool. Zhu Qingtian looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with some hatred and said.

When Zhang Xiaoyu heard his words, he didn't refute it, scratched his head and laughed vigorously.

Jiang Li also smiled when he saw this, judging from his relationship with Zhang Xiaoyu during this time, he could also see that Zhang Xiaoyu was a very honest and honest person, this kind of person, no matter where he went, he would not be annoying.

"Oh yes, you also have a senior brother, go down the mountain to collect information, and the root bones are slightly better than your second senior brother. But he is a frivolous man, and when he comes back, don't let him spoil him. Nagisa commanded.

"Disciple remember." Jiang Li hugged his fists.

"Go, you go to eat first, and then come to me after eating."

"Yes." Both of them said respectfully at the same time.

"Also, Xiaoyu, send me first."

"Got it." Zhang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes.

The two bowed down and said goodbye and returned to the cabin. Zhang Xiaoyu introduced him, "Little junior brother, this is your room, we have a large area here, and we have one person per room, you can live with peace of mind." ”

Jiang Li nodded, and asked instead, "Senior Brother Zhang, does the master fish by the lake every day?" ”

"Most of the time, I haven't seen a day in my life when the master doesn't fish?" Zhang Xiaoyu threw firewood into the stove and said, "Also, do you know how many fish the master has caught over the years?" ”

Jiang Li shook his head.

Zhang Xiaoyu laughed, "I'll tell you, there isn't one!" ”

Jiang Li was stunned, but he was relieved when he thought of Nagisa Qingtian's extremely strange fishing hook and fishing line, but he still couldn't understand why Nagisa Qingtian was fishing like that.

As if seeing his doubts, Zhang Xiaoyu continued: "You should have also noticed the master's hook and bait, right?" ”

Jiang Li nodded, he naturally noticed.

"I used to persuade him a lot, but he had to say that I was not good enough, and told me not to lie about it. He said that this is to call the wisher to take the bait, and when he catches the fish, it means that his realm has arrived, don't you think this is nonsense? I really think that fish is stupid, and it bites a stone for no reason. Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head, as if he couldn't understand it.

Jiang Li also thought about it when he heard this, and he couldn't understand it, but although the time he came out this time was short, he also met a lot of talented people, such as Na Wen Haoyu, and the unknown fortune teller, etc., he felt that Zhu Qingtian should also belong to this column.

After a while, Zhang Xiaoyu heated up the leftovers from noon.

"You eat first, I'll send it to the master."

Jiang Li nodded and sat down, but he didn't move his chopsticks first, Xun Ji had seen him since he was a child, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, all of which were indispensable. He sat quietly and waited, wanting to wait for Zhang Xiaoyu to come back and eat together.

In less than a moment, Zhang Xiaoyu came back, looked at the food on the table, and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, this little junior brother is still quite good.

"Let's eat, the master will let us finish eating."

"Okay."

After eating, Jiang Li was about to take a bath, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoyu, he said, "You just came, you don't have to work today, this is what senior brother should do, and when it starts tomorrow, I will arrange things for you, and when the time comes, you can't do it if you want to." ”

Jiang Li had to stand at the door and wait quietly, the setting sun lying on the ground through the thick branches, like a broken mirror. Jiang Li didn't like this feeling of fragmentation, he secretly thought that one day he would cut down this tree, so that when the sunset came down, it would be a complete mirror.

But the "mirror" can be broken and reunited, can people too? Jiang Li smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What do you think, let's go."

The two of them followed the same path to the place where Nagisa Qingtian was fishing, only to see that Nagisa Qingtian had finished eating and sat in place again to catch fish.

"Master, we're here." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a big grin.

Zhu Qingtian nodded, "Xiaoyu, do you always think that the master has no real skills and can only fish?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head embarrassedly, he really thought so.

"Hmph, don't think that the old man doesn't know what you're thinking, I'll let you see it today."

"Jiang Li, borrow your sword."

Jiang Li felt that it was very safe here, so when he went out, he put the sword box in the wooden house, and was about to open his mouth to go back to get the sword, when he saw Nagisa Qingtian stretch out two fingers, pointed at the sky and shouted,

"Sword, come!"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at him in disbelief, could it be that his master, there was really something?

At the same time, inside the wooden house, the sword box shook violently, and with a click, the sword box opened, and the crane returned to the sword and rose into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the hands of Nagisa Qingtian.

"It's really a good sword!" Nagisa Qingtian exclaimed.

Jiang Li and Zhang Xiaoyu on the side were stunned, can it still be like this?

"You two, take a look." As he spoke, he slowly moved to the waterfall, "This way, draw the knife and cut off the water—"

I saw him wave the crane in his hand, a flat slash, and the sword light in the sky was reflected on the surface of the lake, stabbing people who couldn't open their eyes.

Jiang Li was surprised to find that a sword qi slashed in the middle of the waterfall, and the most terrifying thing was that after the seemingly unpretentious sword, the water flow that had been fooled stopped and could not flow anymore!

"Give it to me—" With Nagisa Qingtian's roar, the waterfall that was holding the water against it instantly rose into the sky with the flow of water.

Draw the knife to cut off the water and the water is countercurrent!

"Poof-whoa" The huge flow of water fell on Jiang Li and Zhang Xiaoyu at once, drenching the two of them into soup chickens.

At this time, the two of them grew their mouths and had a ghostly expression, it turned out that this master who could only fish was so strong?

"You guys, do you see clearly?"
