"Thank you, Uncle Nine."

Just when Li Zhengyi solemnly collected the two rune papers, Uncle Jiu's next words made his expression a little disappointed.

"Although you are sincere in learning art, but this apprenticeship will be forgotten first."

This......

"Master..."

Wen Cai, who had been silent beside him since Uncle Jiu started to talk about business, finally couldn't help but speak out after hearing his refusal.

But he was immediately stopped by Uncle Nine with his eyes, and it can be seen that at a critical time, Uncle Nine is still very prestigious.

Although it seems that Wencai admires Li Zhengyi, who has only known him for less than half a day, and wants him to be his fellow disciple, but at this time, the master's eyes immediately made him shut up.

Then Uncle Nine turned around and explained to Li Zhengyi: "After all, you live in the town, which is a little inconvenient. In addition, the security team should also have training and tasks every day, I believe you don't have much time to learn the Tao with me. ”

"After all, the Fa cannot be passed on lightly, and the Dao Law of our master cannot be easily passed on, so let's talk about this apprenticeship in the future."

After saying these words, Uncle Nine himself felt a little pity.

According to his preliminary observations, Li Zhengyi in front of him is extremely good in terms of qualifications and words and deeds, and it is more than enough to be his apprentice.

But the two big treasures now are enough for him to worry about, and he really doesn't have the energy to teach other disciples.

After all, the current apprentices are not like the later generations, collect money, stamp a seal, and it will all be done, and most of the teachers and students are also linked by interests.

In the current era, although it has been affected by foreign culture, it is still very traditional in some aspects, not to mention a cultivator like Uncle Jiu who attaches great importance to etiquette.

After all, the current master-apprentice inheritance is a lifelong friendship, and even sometimes, it will be at the expense of life.

So how could Uncle Nine agree to the request to accept an apprentice so easily.

Li Zhengyi also thought so, and after hearing the words of refusal, he was also a little disappointed.

But on second thought, how can things succeed so easily. If that were the case, he would have had some thoughts and concerns.

Whether it is the summary of his predecessors or his own life experience, it tells him that the easier things are, the cheaper they are.

What's more, Uncle Nine just said forget it, and didn't weld this door to death, and said in the end that he would talk about it later.

There should still be some intentions, and even Li Zhengyi thinks that he is most likely testing himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to change his approach. A quick resolution in this matter should be unlikely.

So he wants to spend half a month to attack Uncle Nine, and the other half of the rest to learn skills, as for how much he can learn, it depends on himself.

However, this is the premise of his good work in the security team, after all, he still has to focus on system tasks.

If you don't do it, there is a punishment. In case the system gives any inhuman punishment, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life.

So after Li Zhengyi took a slight breath, the expression on his face returned to a calm and calm appearance, and under his deliberate creation, the atmosphere that was a little stagnant just now became harmonious again.

"Uncle Jiu, I have to go to work in the security team tomorrow, and it's not too early now, so I'll leave for the time being, and I'll come to see you when I have time later."

"Goodbye, Wencai."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Zhengyi offered to say goodbye and leave, after all, it was really not early.

"Okay, be careful on the road. Wencai, you go and send Xiao Li. ”

After saying goodbye to Uncle Jiu, Li Zhengyi walked towards the door accompanied by Wencai.

Patting the talisman in his breast pocket, his heart became more and more settled.

However, Uncle Nine didn't mention it, and he didn't take the initiative to give some money and money.

Most relationships rely on profit and money, but there are also some hypocrisy that are not, and they need to impress each other with sincerity and friendliness. Li Zhengyi thinks that Uncle Nine is such a person, after all, a person like him should regard money as dung.

"It's so late, otherwise, Brother Xiao Li, you wait until tomorrow morning to go back, the master will definitely agree to let you stay overnight."

Isn't that it? Relying on sincerity and praise, Wencai regarded him as a friend.

Seeing that the sky was already a little dark, he dissuaded Li Zhengyi from waiting until tomorrow to go back.

However, Li Zhengyi is not used to staying in other people's homes, and he doesn't want to give Uncle Nine the impression of being timid and afraid.

Besides, it's just getting dark now, there shouldn't be any problem, and with the two talismans given by Uncle Jiu, even if there is something that doesn't open your eyes, you will definitely retreat.

After seeing Li Zhengyi insisting on leaving, Cai forcibly stuffed the lantern in his hand to him.

said: "Don't worry, I will persuade the master well, and he will definitely agree to accept you as an apprentice." ”

"Slow down on the road and stay safe."

After seeing the lantern carried by Li Zhengyi floating out of the lychee forest, Wen Cai hummed a little song and returned to Yizhuang.

Judging from his expression and actions, he is very happy to have made such a new friend today.

"Bang!"

After the gate of Yizhuang was closed, this dense lychee forest immediately became quiet.

Although time seems to pass very slowly, it is actually hurried and the pace is very firm.

When I ate before, it was just the sun setting.

Even when Li Zhengyi proposed to learn the arts, the sky was white and a little numb black.

But how long has it been, and before you know it, the surrounding environment has become pitch black.

Fortunately, under the light of the stars and moon in the sky, he could barely see the surrounding situation, and the lantern in his hand emitted a dim light, allowing Li Zhengyi to see the road under his feet.

The trampled dirt road, like a white python in the moonlight, stretched out into the distance.

It's just that the dense jungle on both sides of the road, at this moment, can only see black silhouettes, and the overlapping black shadows of different shapes invisibly give a lot of pressure to passers-by.

Before the spread of electric light, even in the city, people rarely went out after nightfall.

Not to mention that some people will be in the middle of nowhere at night.

What's more, Li Zhengyi is now alone.

Fortunately, after so many things, his courage has been far beyond the reach of others, and he walked steadily and did not feel panicked.

Just from a slightly farther distance, his figure also completely blended in with the surrounding dark jungle.

There is only a lone lantern, floating quietly on the wild road at night.
