Chapter 25: Apprenticeship
Mrs. Lu and the three of them are really chatting about homely things, such as how old they are, whether they have been married, etc., Ji Rui and Xue Yang both answered very briefly, and Chi Tang also understood that Ji Rui was twenty-seven years old and Xue Yang was twenty-one years old, and they had never been married.
When Mrs. Lu asked herself, Chi Tang was also at one end of her figure, and replied respectfully: "Chi is nearly thirty years old, has no home and no room, fluttering in the rivers and seas, and has no fixed residence, Mrs. smiled. ”
Mrs. Lu still smiled politely: "Chivalrous pride, heroism, the four seas are home, why laugh?"
Dong Yao, who had been silent, suddenly asked Chi Tang: "Are you ...... Cistern...... Pool ......"
Chi Tang picked it up for her: "Linchang Chi Tang." "This is the first time that the third lady has spoken tonight since she thanked everyone.
"Chi Daxia. Dong Yao said: "Is there any such thing as a double peerless five, and you are also one of them?"
"Oh, the false name given by friends in the rivers and lakes, what kind of gods and martial arts push double unique, and look at the five warriors bravely. Although Chi is one of them, he is very ashamed, and the other few are the real people with outstanding martial arts, I just make up a number. Chi Tang said modestly.
Dong Yao ignored Chi Tang's self-humility: "Double Peerless Five, besides Chi Daxia, who else are there?"
Chi Tang replied: "It's all some Jianghu characters, and Miss probably hasn't heard much of it." The so-called double masters, one is the lord of the Kunlun Mountain Jueyun Castle, the master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Linghong; the other is the leader of the beggar army of Pengguan Wuyuan Village, Chen Song, the absolute iron spear; as for the five soldiers, except for Chi, they are the heroes of Guanzhong Fufeng and the fierce halberd Wei Feng; the eldest son of the Zhang family in Pengcheng, Zhang Yan, the giant warrior; Luo Yi, the leader of the Linhai Baige Gang and the Jiao swordsman; and the other is the Xiping County clan, who went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the chief swordsman of the Great Sima Mansion, and Han Li, who is the driving force. Thinking that Chen Song was captured by the demon and Zhang Yan died in the mouth of the demon, Chi Tang was gloomy.
"What about you, what kind of scholar are you?" Dong Yao asked.
"He is a swordsman, the sword is behind him, and once it is unsheathed, the thief is beheaded. Ji Rui said with a smile, although they are demon slayers, they have all heard of the names of the Double Peerless Five Warriors.
Chi Tang smiled indifferently, glanced at Ji Rui, and said in his heart: "I'd rather be a demon slayer." ”
Dong Yao looked at Chi Tang for a long time, and then said, "If you deal with the Bai ...... who was ranked first in our mansion before Bai Shang, how many tricks do you need?"
"That Bai Gongzi?" Chi Tang was a little surprised, I don't know how this Dong Yao would mention him, he only focused on watching Xue Yang and Shan Siji fight fiercely that day, and he didn't pay attention to Dong Yao's affection for Bai Shang. "He may have good swordsmanship, otherwise how could he enter the eyes of the second son? I have never seen him perform it, so it's hard to say. This is Chi Tang being modest again, in fact, he snatched the long sword from Bai Shang's waist with only one move during the day, and Bai Shang almost had no power to fight back.
Xue Yang fought with Bai Shang during the day, and he had usually seen Bai Shang's swordsmanship in Zhaoyingtang, and now he said it for Chi Tang: "Third Miss doesn't know, this Chi Daxia is the first-class martial arts master in the rivers and lakes, that Bai Gongzi, to put it mildly, if Chi Daxia goes all out, he will definitely lose within three moves." ”
Dong Yao's eyes lit up: "Chi Daxia is really so powerful?"
Chi Tang couldn't answer, but it was Mrs. Lu who said: "Yao'er, why don't you see the divine power of Chi Daxia in the morning? How vicious is that thief head? Isn't he still hit hard by Chi Daxia? That Bai Shang is a righteous junior, how can he be worthy of a blow from Chi Daxia?"
During the day, the scene of Chi Tang's majestic battle against the group of thieves appeared in Dong Yao's mind again, especially when he couldn't support himself, a powerful big hand that came out of thin air threw the bandits away from afar, like a god.
Dong Yao suddenly left the table and walked in front of Chi Tang's case in a few steps: "If Chi Daxia doesn't dislike it, I am willing to worship Chi Daxia as a teacher and practice swordsmanship and martial arts." Shi Ran bowed down and knelt down.
Chi Tang was shocked by this, and he didn't help it, so he pushed it again and again: "This ...... This is not possible, young lady, please get up. ”
Ji Rui and Xue Yang glanced at each other, smiling, but did not speak.
Mrs. Lu was stunned at first, knowing that her daughter was used to being willful, she also said to Chi Tang: "Chi Daxia, the little girl has always been good at martial arts, if Chi Daxia has time, she might as well instruct her a few moves, one is to fulfill her wishes, and the other is to let her have some self-defense skills." When her husband came back, if she knew that Chi Daxia taught her martial arts, she would be extremely pleased. ”
Chi Tang was embarrassed, he had no intention of teaching an apprentice, not to mention that this young lady was so old, I was afraid that she was not a sword learner. Moreover, he was going to go to the Qianjia family with Ji Rui and Xue Yang to practice the method of eliminating demons, and he didn't know when he would catch his demons, so how could he delay here for a long time? ...,
Dong Yao's eyes looked at Chi Tang firmly, she raised the idea of apprenticeship to Chi Tang, not only is her nature martial, this day her heart has suffered a great blow, her previous admiration for Bai Shang has been transformed into a deep hatred, in her heart, if she learns from a top master like Chi Tang, she can slash Bai Shang this villain after her art is the real goal.
Chi Tang finally shook his head: "Chi Mou's martial arts, dare to be a young lady so kindly? Besides, there are important things to do, so I have to leave in the next few days, I don't dare to delay any longer, Miss's intentions, Chi Mou doesn't dare to accept it." ”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Even if you are Chi Daxia, there are still difficulties, Yao'er, don't be strong, get up and speak first." ”
Dong Yao's face was stunned, she got up without saying a word, stood for a moment, and left the table in a huff.

Dong Hu looked at Lingfeng left and right, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, it was not that he had never experienced a woman, but it was the first time he had seen such a stunning and beautiful woman.
Lingfeng lowered his head, and there was a secret anger in his heart.
Dong Hu said a few more greetings, Lingfeng responded lightly, his expression was neither resistant, nor too humble, Dong Hu gave the soul and gave it, where do you care about this?
Dong Yao had already walked out of the door angrily, passed by Dong Hu, and did not say hello, Dong Hu came back to his senses and said in amazement: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Dong Yao didn't answer, she had already gone far, Dong Hu didn't know what had happened, she hurriedly started to enter the hall, and when she was leaving, she glanced at Lingfeng reluctantly, thinking in her heart, to find a reason to get her from her mother's room.
Hearing Dong Hu's footsteps gradually disappearing, Ling Feng raised his head, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Ordinary people are so silent, is this what they look like?" Looking into the hall, Chi Tang was clasping his fists at the old lady and saying something, Lingfeng looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, and his figure was hidden in the darkness under the corridor.

After the family banquet, the hour was also late, Mrs. Lu wanted to invite the three of them to live in the inner house, the three insisted on not accepting, and after talking for a while, Mrs. Lu only said that they were martial arts temperament, so she had to give up, and ordered to arrange accommodation for the three people in the outer wing, and also gave a lot of gold and silver, Chi Tang did not accept it, but after seeing Ji Rui Xue Yang thanking him, the big lama put the gold and silver into his arms, and Chi Tang secretly wondered: "This is not like a chivalrous style." "It's not good to be special, so I also accepted the gold and silver.
Originally, Dong Hu arranged three guest rooms for the three of them to rest in peace, but at Chi Tang's insistence, the three of them all lived in the same room, and the conversation during the day was still unfinished, and Chi Tang also wanted to talk to these two Qianjia demon slayers at night.
Now that the matter of the young lady's apprenticeship is out, Chi Tang is only afraid that there will be more delays and complications, so he wants to resign tomorrow, because he wants to go with Ji Rui and Xue Yang, so he discussed with the two first, but Ji Rui whispered: "One more day." ”
"Why is that?" Chi Tang just wants to leave early now.
"Didn't you say that there is another demonic spirit here? I still don't ask the old lady about this matter, if you know something about it, Brother Chi, you might as well tell us about it, and we will solve this matter tomorrow and then it's not too late to leave." Ji Rui said.
Chi Tang was a little embarrassed, and when he thought of Aunt Cui's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it, and shirked it: "I have also heard rumors, but I am afraid that there are many untruths, or the old lady knows the details of the way, it may be better to ask the old lady." ”
Ji Rui looked at Chi Tang and said slowly: "Brother Chi, do you remember what I told you? I said that Brother Chi has demonic energy, which is like a magnet, which will naturally make people with other demonic qi feel close, and it will be easier to get in touch with some demonic things." In other words, after the first encounter with the demon, it will be easy to encounter other demons, if we ask the old lady, if the old lady is related to the demon because of this, I am afraid that this village will not be peaceful, and today's robbers have not recovered, if they add the twists and turns of this demon removal, the spread will spread, but I am afraid that the village will be in chaos. So, it's better to ask you. ”
Chi Tang knew that what he said was reasonable, and he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to retell all the stories he heard from Steward Yan some time ago to Ji Rui.
Ji Rui thought for a while and said to herself: "This is a little strange. Listening to this, it does seem like a goblin did it, but after all these years, it doesn't seem to have caused any disaster. ”
Xue Yang sighed and said, "It's not surprising, Xu is a good monster, let Brother Chi take us to meet the woman tomorrow." ”
Chi Tang wanted to talk more to the two, and many doubts after the afternoon conversation had not been answered, but before he could say a few words, Xue Yang fell asleep, and now Chi Tang and Ji Rui were embarrassed to say more, Ji Rui said softly: "It's okay, Brother Chi will be with us in the future, and there is time to talk in detail, and today is also sleepy, so I will sleep first." ”
Chi Tang smiled knowingly, thinking back to the details of what the three of them talked about during the day, the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. I thought that after meeting the demon on the moonlit night, I would not dare to have twists and turns in my life, but I didn't expect to get acquainted with the person who subdued the demon and subdued the demon today. It's really strange, I have never seen such a character before I met a demon in the past, how can I talk about it today, and there are so many mysterious doorways?
The Cloud Dragon Breaks the Imperial Body, the Power of the Fire Crow Qianjun, does he really have such a mana magic technique? Hmm? Strange, didn't Mrs. Rudan say that once she uses her true power, there will be demons to chase her? Why has this day passed, and I haven't seen it? Could it really be intercepted by the monsters in Jiangnan?
Chi Tang touched the wound under his ear and fell asleep soundly in the chaos of thoughts.
Chi Tang had a very strange dream, a snow-white tanuki always seemed to be entangled with him, and in a trance, the pupils that glowed with green light were particularly eye-catching.
