Chapter 19 The Rainstorm is Coming
At this moment, Jiang Kai's eyes suddenly turned into a fan-shaped statistical chart.
Three points of incomprehension, three points of abruptness, three points of grievance, and one point of self-deprecation.
What you've entrusted me with is not a responsibility, it's a burden, you just want to retire early so you can go out and have fun, right?!
Chen Mian turned his head to look at Jiang Kai little by little, revealing an embarrassed but polite smile.
You're not going to explain it at all?!
"Yo? Got guests? An old man pushed open the door of the courtyard and saw Jiang Kai at a glance, as if he was a little surprised.
The old man's outfit is nondescript, wearing sports headphones, a white vest, a pair of hip-hop pants on the bottom, and a pair of slippers when he is done, with a full head of white hair tied into a bun and a beard tied into a bow, there is a very unique trend.
"Division... Teacher, why are you here? ”
Chen Mian gritted his teeth but asked softly, highlighting a person who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
"I just came back from Sanya, what's the drop? Not welcome? He casually threw Chen Mian a coconut, and looked at Jiang Kai again: "Who is this?" ”
Jiang Kai smiled enthusiastically and nodded: "Hello, I am the wronged seed." ”
The old man smiled, and then realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now, and looked at Chen Mian for help.
Chen Mian's face was already tilted to the side, pretending not to hear or see.
Jiang Kai also felt a little embarrassed to stay here, so he found an excuse and said that it was time to go home to watch the cat dance, and left Chen Mian's house.
Chen Mian had the intention to keep it, but Jiang Kai said that he didn't go to see his cat dancing cat at this point, and Chen Mian had no choice but to give up.
Seeing Jiang Kai leaving, Chen Mian finally couldn't help but reproach: "Your old voice can't be smaller, back to this, you are deliberately making me unable to get off the stage, right?" Although I told you before that I wanted to find a wronged successor, but isn't that a joke, and this young man is indeed the person I fancie, and I want him to learn something from me, you say that, what will I do next time I see him? ”
"It's really abrupt for the teacher." The old man sighed.
"So what now?" Chen Mian asked.
The old man looked confused: "What should I do?" ”
Chen Mian was anxious when he saw this: "How can I explain it to others, if people hold grudges and talk about this matter, how will I behave in the future?" ”
"It's okay!" The old man waved his hand: "Didn't you plan to retire and go to cultivate immortals as a teacher?" Now that the teacher has become a master of the heavens, all the resources you need at this stage of the Jianghu Warlock have already been prepared.
You have worked hard for thirty years, calmed down the ghosts and souls of unknown people, and the merits you have accumulated are definitely enough for you to step into the rivers and lakes as a warlock, and maybe even enough for you to meditate and practice to the eighth and seventh grades.
As long as you practice well with your teacher, not to mention that you are only in your fifties, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you can still live for many years.
Black history is such a thing, it will gradually be forgotten with the passage of time, you see your master and me, I am now more than a hundred years old, and I am still so energetic, many of those old things of my time have long been buried in the ground, who remembers what I did when I was young? ”
Chen Mian stared at the old man coldly: "When you were young, you were kicked out of Maoshan because you peeked at the daughter of your head of Maoshan taking a bath. ”
The old man's face turned red, and he angrily rebuked: "Bastard! Did you peek into the memoirs of the teacher? ”
"You told me when you got drunk fifteen years ago." Chen Mian is neither humble nor arrogant.
The old man blew his beard angrily and glared: "You pretended not to know and pretended to be fifteen years, just to be a teacher at such a time?" ”
Chen Mian shrugged: "I don't care, anyway, you have to think of a way for me to clear up this misunderstanding, I must see someone who can protect the safety of the funeral home on my behalf, so that I can rest assured that I can go to cultivate immortals with you." ”
"Rebel!"
The old man was so angry that he scolded Chen Mian for his stubbornness, but this stubbornness and persistence were also the reason why he valued Chen Mian, so he still seriously studied how to recover the misunderstanding just now.
He thought about pacing back and forth, and inadvertently saw those requiem arrays on the ground that Jiang Kai had arranged and had not been able to withdraw later, and was immediately a little surprised.
"Huh? Xiao Mianzi, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have made such a big progress? ”
Without waiting for Chen Mian to react, his expression became strange again:
"No, no, this has surpassed the limits of ordinary people, has transformed from a simple form to outlining six or seven distractions, and ordinary people should not be able to see those hooks I hid."
He turned his head to look at Chen Mian, who looked confused, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you rely on your teacher to give you exercises, and you have already realized some of the methods of Jianghu warlocks on your own?" ”
Chen Mian was about to open his mouth to explain, but the old man began to pull himself again:
"No, it's still not right, it's not a simple problem that can be solved by enlightenment, no matter how high the comprehension is, it is impossible to reproduce the complete pattern without knowing the basic principles."
"Or... Could you be a genius? Oh! Yes, yes, yes, I seem to have heard that there was indeed such a genius in ancient times, which makes sense, after all, the practice of cultivation has also been studied by others, from scratch, hahaha, why are you hiding so deeply, why didn't you see it earlier? ”
"Shhhh No, no, no, no, no, if you were a genius, what did you do thirty years earlier, just practice the form for three years, and then suddenly realize the gods? Wrong wrong. ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the old man didn't realize that his words were like pressing Chen Mian's self-esteem to the ground and rubbing it repeatedly.
"I didn't set these up! It was arranged by the young man you said just now that he was wronged! ”
Chen Mian roared and suppressed the old man who was still pulling repeatedly.
But hearing this, the old man's expression immediately became very solemn, and he grabbed Chen Mian and asked solemnly:
"Tell me all about him, immediately!"
Chen Mian hadn't seen the old man's serious appearance for many years, and the last time was when he had just entered the industry as an undertaker and followed him to learn requiem arts, he encountered the corpse of the evil sect that died of evil spirits.
After that, the old man was a blessing in disguise and succeeded in becoming a charlatan, and after that, the old man had never been so solemn in front of him.
Therefore, although Chen Mian didn't know why, he still realized the seriousness of the problem, starting from when Jiang Kai came to look for a job a year ago, until the end of the recent incident of solving Su Dayong, he told the old man everything in 1510.
After hearing this, the old man fell into deep thought, and after half a sound, Chen Mian asked tentatively, "Master, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”
The old man didn't hide it, looked at the magic arrays on the ground in the courtyard, and said:
"Do you remember that Master Wei told you that in addition to our orthodox monks, there are also some evil cultivators, who do not cultivate merits, but practice with the help of ghosts, and do all kinds of evil?"
"Yes."
"I'm coming back this time because of this, since I became a Master of Tongtian, I can be regarded as entering the inner circle of gatekeepers, and I can learn a lot of first-hand news for the first time.
Since a year ago, those rats have been seen in Los Angeles, just a city away from the gatekeepers' headquarters, and you can imagine how long their hands are extended.
And recently, after a year of layout, Xu Gong is finally ready to do it.
In addition to me, there will be at least two more Mages of Babel. ”
Although Chen Mian was an ordinary person, he was touched by the light of the old man, and obviously had a lot of understanding of the cultivator's world, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party.
"So, Master, do you think..."
The old man stood with his hands in his hands: "Whether it is the timing or what he does, it is too coincidental, when too many coincidental things appear at the same time, perhaps... It's inevitable.
If this is the case, then it can only be said that he is too cautious, and he has been mediocre for a whole year, and only now has he shown his feet. ”
He patted Chen Mian on the shoulder: "This world is going to be chaotic, this time the teacher is planning to take you to find the path of cultivating immortals after the matter is over, I don't ask you how to make achievements, at least enough to protect yourself." ”
"But I think Jiang is sorry for him..."Chen Mian hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't help but say.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man:
"I'm not 100% sure he's one of those rats, but I have to guard against it."
